Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 297 Sun Ce's Congratulatory Gift

After the solemn and solemn ceremony was over, Liu Xie was taken back to the back room. Leng Shouguang carefully changed Liu Xie's regular clothes, with an indescribable smile on his face. It seemed that Liu Xie was not the one who married his wife. But he is the same as Leng Shouguang.

However, thinking that even if Leng Shouguang married a daughter-in-law, he would have to make her a widow, Liu Xie couldn't help but chuckle.Seeing that Liu Xie was inexplicably happy, Leng Shouguang couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, you finally got your wish today. I am so happy for Your Majesty... You don't know, just now you and the queen were in front of the court case. As soon as he stood up, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at the graceful and luxurious aura of you two beautiful people, and their eyes almost popped out of shock."

As soon as the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were mentioned, Liu Xie's face darkened slightly.Although this big wedding made up for Fushou's ignorant waiting, it was a marriage full of political flavor after all.Thinking of this, Liu Xie felt a little sorry for Fushou.Not to mention, in the future, he will not be able to explain clearly to Fu Shou, but will plunge headlong into the sticky, wet, cold and dirty political circle.

The matter of the big marriage and the establishment of the queen is undoubtedly a political signal sent by the Han Dynasty to the whole world.In the past two years of Liu Xie's tenure, the Han Dynasty has been cleaned up.This time, he will take advantage of this potential energy to fly stones into the water, and see which of the princes and state herdsmen are his allies, which are opportunistic speculators, and which are the thorns he wants to solve right now.

In Fuli Palace.

The lanterns have just come on, but the banquet in the palace is already in full swing.After Liu Xie entered the arena, although he was still frowning, he couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw the mess in the hall—our Chinese people have been a foodie nation since ancient times.No matter how grand and solemn the celebration was just now, in the end, didn't they end up with a big meal?

However, this time, I really can't blame these ministers.After all, this banquet took Liu Xie a lot of thought.

It has to be said that with Liu Xie's two years of tossing, the treasury of the Han Dynasty has finally gradually filled up.The complacent Liu Xie made an exception with a big wave of his hand, making this wedding banquet, which was supposed to shock the princes of the four directions, become a sung song that has been sung for a long time.

First of all, although the catering in the Han Dynasty is an important milestone of Chinese food culture, there are only two ways of eating, steaming and boiling.After Liu Xie ate clear soup with little water for a year, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and made people start to delve into cooking.On this important day today, those palace chefs finally showed their skills and shocked the world.

Secondly, it is the ingredients on the wedding banquet.In this season in the north, there are very few edible ingredients.But this couldn't stop the emperor from inventing the method of making ice with saltpeter. As a result, the new crops popularized in a large area in Guanzhong were well preserved in cold storage.

As a result, those scholar-bureaucrats who have always had their eyes above the top, looking at the various unnamed novel fruits on the table, don't know what to do.And the first time Liu Xie entered the arena, he saw Xu Huang who was almost drunk, picked up a thawed banana, and gave it to his mouth without peeling it...

In the end, thanks to Liu Xieguang's contribution to opening up business routes, merchants from large and small city-states in the Western Regions heard that the Dahan is a holy land full of gold, and they have already begun to risk their lives to come here to pan for gold.With their arrival, not only did the ingredients appear in front of the people of Chang'an after Zhang Qian emptied out, but their special barbecue, hand-picked rice and other foods were also introduced to Chang'an.

Liu Xie, who already opened cheating cheats, was extravagant at all costs.Thus, the city of Chang'an, the whole world... no, the "Yipin Tianzi Banquet", which is recognized even by later generations, was born.

The banquet lasted from Shenshi in the afternoon until dark, and a total of 66 dishes were served.Numerous Chinese delicacies made their debut for the first time.Because most of them needed chopsticks, gourmets of later generations even believed that this banquet was a banquet that completely changed the habit of eating and using hands of the Han people.

Of course, it will not be Liu Xie's turn to participate in the debate in later generations, but the people who participated in this wedding banquet this time have only one feeling: that is enjoyment, extreme enjoyment, fairy-like enjoyment!Seeing the endless flow of new dishes served, one after another is so beautiful that it is dizzying for the eyes. This group of noble scholars and doctors who are not tired of eating fine stews thought that they would never find that kind of gluttonous feeling again, but at this wedding banquet Meet by chance.

This kind of pure feeling is naturally only available to Han Chen.And the other people who came to the banquet to congratulate were extremely shocked in addition to the extreme enjoyment: Is this still the Chang'an that Dong Zhuo troubled in their minds?The financial resources and manpower of the Han Dynasty reflected behind this wedding banquet, it is hard to even think about it!

Thinking of this, their hearts beat faster, and then they took out the skill of using the brush like flying to use it on the chopsticks, and hurriedly stuffed two more mouthfuls into their mouths.After all, after returning to their old nest, they may never eat such delicacies again in their entire lives...

Seeing the virtues of these foreign envoys, Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden one by one, Liu Xie was very satisfied that his painstaking efforts were not in vain.So, while participating in this gluttonous feast, he tried his best to maintain his demeanor and accepted the congratulations from the envoys from all over the place.

Following Da Honglu Zhou Huan's chanting, Liu Xie silently remembered all the visitors from all over the place in his heart.What made him interesting was that he found that the officials of the Han Dynasty were really all foxes, or in other words, they were a group of nashas who set up memorial archways after being naha.

Among the envoys of the princes from all over the world, except for the traitors Yuan Shu and Han Sui who were announced to the world by the court, other princes, whether they really admired the Han Dynasty or just watched from the sidelines, sent envoys to Chang'an.What's more, the congratulatory gifts were more expensive than the last one, for fear that Liu Xie might look down upon them.

Fortunately, such a situation was also expected by Liu Xie.Now that the Han Dynasty is not what it used to be, and ZTE is expected, all forces want to establish relations with the imperial court to show that they are justified.However, these investment tycoons are not fools, and the characters in Dalangtaosha know the truth of not putting all eggs in one basket.Although they placed high hopes on the Han Dynasty, they did not give up building good relations with other important princes because of this.

At least, Liu Xie knew that Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, who rode on the wall to see the scenery, sent two groups of envoys this time. One group came to Chang'an to congratulate him on his wedding, and the other group went directly north to Jizhou to participate in Yuan Shao's wedding ceremony. Military parade.

However, for Liu Xie, politics is politics.He is not so naive as to think that whoever gives him a gift shows that he has one heart with him. Since these bigwigs are here, it means that they do not want to make enemies with the Han Dynasty in the near future-knowing this, for Liu Xie enough.

Slowly stopping to eat, Liu Xie wiped his mouth with clean silk—of course, this is quite a prodigal way, but in such a situation, it’s just a matter of saving face—after listening to Da Honglu, Zhou Huan’s voice was already hoarse After the reading, he frowned slightly.Because, the representative of a force that should appear most today has not yet attended.

Just as Liu Xie was sneering and was about to announce the end of the wedding banquet, a man named Huang Men ran up to Zhou Huan and whispered something in his ear. Zhou Huan's expression became very strange in an instant, and at the same time he shouted in a hoarse voice: "So break the prisoner!" The envoy Sun Ce, the son of the general, is here to see you!"

Liu Xie's face immediately turned cold: those who should come, those who shouldn't come, what are you doing here?
But after all, he had set the stage, and this was not the time to show timidity at all. After he calmed down for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Let them in."

In just this moment, everyone discovered that this young man who was laughing and laughing just now had changed into another face.He held the bottle in his left hand, rested his chin in his right hand, and sipped the wine in the glass unhurriedly.There is arrogance in the eyes and a stern look, the posture of a hero who has already ruled the world.

Not long after, a young scribe held a brocade box and walked in proudly.Liu Xie saw that this person was tall and handsome, and he didn't wait for him to pay homage, so he took the initiative to ask, "Who is here?"

"Lu Su in Dongcheng." The visitor said, paying homage.Although, originally, he was the humblest white body among all the people present, but when facing the emperor, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and behaved well.

And when Liu Xie heard the name of this person, the wine in the bottle immediately overflowed on the table, and a trail of blood-red tears flowed: Lu Su, Lu Zijing, has already returned to Sun Ce?In other words, at this time, Sun Ce has already left Yuan Shu and started to seek his own world?

But before Liu Xie was completely astonished, after Lu Su paid homage, he opened the brocade box in front of everyone: "Your Majesty, this is a gift from my lord for the emperor's wedding."

In an instant, the entire Fuli Palace was dazzling, and all the rare treasures in the house were dimmed under the brilliance of the brocade box.Because, in that square brocade box, lay quietly a piece of Lantian jade with a radius of four inches and five dragons crossed by Shanghai New York. One corner was incomplete and it was inlaid with gold and stone.Liu Xie hurriedly got up and picked up the jade, his shocked face instantly became even more shocked.

On the front of the jade stone, there are clearly engraved eight seal characters of "Ordered by the sky, long life and eternal prosperity"!
