Chapter 1230 Banquet
Niu Dazhuang knelt behind him, shaking with excitement.I didn't expect that I could become a third-rank official, a second-waiting personal guard, and I also have parents, but since I became a bandit, I haven't dared to go home, and now I don't know if my parents are still alive.

It's just that he didn't dare to bring it up and go home to have a look, because he was afraid that Luo Xin would not trust him and thought he would run away, but he firmly believed that as long as he kept his loyalty, Lord Hou would allow him to take his parents over one day. come over.Let parents live a good life too.

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Today, our mansion held a big banquet and celebrated with the whole house. Everyone has a reward! Dai'er, you get a charter."

"Yes!"

On this day, Luo Mansion was full of laughter.Even the most inferior servant, Lu Rudai also rewarded him with money.

night.

Luo Xin hugged Lu Rudai and lay on the bed. Seeing that Luo Xin had been silent for a long time, Dai'er said:

"Sir, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that the day after tomorrow will be the hundred days of King Yu's son. His Majesty has decreed that he will attend the Hundred Days Banquet in person. I don't know if this means that His Majesty has already preferred King Yu to be the crown prince."

"It's good news anyway."

"Yes!"

The day of King Yu's hundred-day banquet is approaching in no time. Since it is a banquet attended by His Majesty himself, it is a formal banquet, and all participating officials must wear official robes.Luo Xin's third-grade crimson official robes on board came to the courtyard in front of the door, and eight large sedan chairs were placed there.Before Luo Xin, he could only take four large sedan chairs, but now that he has become a third rank, the guard of honor has been upgraded, and the accompanying guards have also increased from two to four.

Luo Xin got into the big sedan chair, Lu Daqing shouted loudly: "Get up the sedan chair."

Eight people carried the big sedan chairs and walked out of the gate, heading towards Prince Yu's Mansion.

Luo Xin sat in the sedan chair with his eyes closed. King Yu's [-]-day banquet was also a social banquet. Luo Xin kept a low profile these days and hadn't attended such an occasion for a long time.Now the case of his own assassination is not over yet. Xu Jie has already written a letter saying that the case is too difficult to investigate. His Majesty has agreed to slow down the speed. It seems that this turmoil will pass like this.Xu Jie's plan completely failed.The so-called "kill three birds with one arrow" did not hit one eagle.

Did not get His Majesty's favor!
Did not get King Jing's trust!
The suppression of Gao Gong and Luo Xin was not achieved!
Instead, it made His Majesty hate him, King Jing hated him, Luo Xin was promoted to the third rank, and his own reputation in the cabinet further declined.

It can be described as a complete failure!
However, at this time, it was even more impossible to take it lightly. Zhang Juzheng had already been transferred back, which indicated that Xu Jie had never given up.

Luo Xin frowned suddenly. He felt that today's speed was extremely slow, so he opened a gap in the car curtain and looked out.When his eyes fell outside, a long-lost word appeared in his mind.

Traffic jam!

Of course, this car refers to the sedan chair!
At this time, this Chang'an Avenue was almost overcrowded.There are too many sedan chairs on the street, eight, four, or two, and these sedan chairs can't be seen at a glance.Even if there are many people, the level is also highlighted.Eight large sedan chairs like Luo Xin walked in the middle of the road, four sedan chairs had to move to the side, and two sedan chairs even more.However, this is also more confident than walking people.

No matter how small the sedan chair is, it is still a sedan chair!It is to be richer and more powerful than a person who walks on two legs!

There are too many poor officials in the capital, and it is not that these poor officials cannot afford a sedan chair. As long as they tighten their belts and cut down on food and clothing for a year, they can still afford a sedan chair with two lifts.However, if you have a sedan chair, someone has to carry it, which means you need to have two bearers.Those poor officials in the capital can't even support their own family members. How can they have money to support the people who carry the sedan chair?

So these people had no choice but to walk, which is called "walking on foot as a cart".

Today, these officials are all walking in one direction, Yuwang Mansion.

When King Jing gave birth to his son and held a hundred-day banquet, Emperor Jiajing didn't go.Now he wants to participate in the hundred-day banquet of King Yu's son, and reward King Yu with the topaz Ruyi that he plays with every day.

What does this mean?
This shows that Emperor Jiajing has already leaned towards King Yu for the position of crown prince.

It is not certain, as long as the tendency is enough, it is enough for those officials who have been clueless to make a decision.Therefore, almost all the officials in the capital went to Prince Yu's Mansion to congratulate him.

When passing by King Jing's Mansion, Luo Xin took a glance, and saw that the gate of King Jing's Mansion was closed and the front door was deserted.Looking at those officials who now regard King Jing's mansion as a beast and fearing that they won't be able to avoid it, he shook his head slightly.Because he knew that among the officials who are now avoiding King Jing's mansion, many of them were still fawning over King Jing and running dogs for King Jing not long ago.

It's really people coming and going, bustling, life drama, never been in officialdom!
Luo Xin lowered the car curtain and closed his eyes.Another hour passed, and the sedan chair finally stopped. Luo Xin stepped out of the sedan chair and stood in front of the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion.

At this time, in front of King Yu's Mansion, all the horses and chariots were parked on the west side, but the east side was empty, with only rows of imperial guards guarding there, which would be the direction where Emperor Jiajing came.

Eight large sedan chairs belonged to senior officials, so as soon as Luo Xin's sedan chair arrived, it attracted the attention of the front door.When Luo Xin stepped out of the sedan chair, Feng Bao, who was standing at the door, saw Luo Xin all of a sudden, with a big smile on his face, he trotted up to him and said:

"My lord, you are here, Your Highness is waiting anxiously."

"Nonsense!" Luo Xin scolded with a smile: "Today, Prince Yu's Mansion is full of officials, His Highness is too busy, how can you have time to wait for me?"

"Hey!" Feng Bao smiled excitedly: "Your Highness really misses you, and you know that this is the first time the emperor has visited Prince Yu's Mansion, and he has never been here before. So His Highness is very nervous, and when he is nervous, he asks the Lord Whether you come or not, as long as you come, His Highness will have the backbone."

Luo Xin was speechless and said, "Haven't you prepared it several times?"

"Is preparation the same thing as the emperor's real coming? When preparing, I knew in my heart that it was a lie, but this time it is true. Once you make a mistake and make His Majesty unhappy, who can afford it?"

Luo Xin patted Feng Bao's shoulder and said, "When we were preparing before, we did what we did, and we did it first. Has His Highness left already?"

"Well, it's been almost an hour since the attack."

"Then I'll go in first, and there's another guest coming."

"Please come inside! If you come, we will have a backbone, and we will be sure that nothing will go wrong."

A young eunuch had already visited Luo Xin, and then led Luo Xin to the East Hall. There were fifty tables in the East Hall, and at this time, more than thirty tables had already arrived.Seeing Luo Xin walking in, the people inside stood up one after another, greeted each other with Luo Xin, and came to the first table in the East Hall with pleasantries.
