Miss Cui thought for a long time, and finally bowed to Zhou Man and said, "Thank you Master Zhou for your guidance."
Seeing her leave, Bai Shan came up, didn't ask her what she wanted to do with Man Bao, and directly took Man Bao's hand and said, "Let's go, let's enjoy the moon."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly.
Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace is also eating, drinking and watching the moon.
It's just that there are more people in the palace. After admiring the moon, the two returned to the main hall holding hands, and let go of their hands before entering the door.
The emperor was still enjoying singing and dancing, eating and drinking with everyone.
There are moon cakes made in the palace sent by maids, one for each table, one for the boss, but luckily they were cut into small pieces.
Man Bao took a piece to eat, and felt that the materials used in the palace were good. Although other dishes were cold and tasteless, the mooncakes were still very good.
Bai Shan also felt good.
Most of the dishes in the palace banquet are cold. Although some grilled dishes and soups are also good, most of them are not as good as when they are hot at home.
So the two of them didn't have much to eat.
However, they still ate most of their meals.
There is no way, both of them are growing up, so they can really eat.
This made many people envious, such as Liu Shangshu and Master Tang who were sitting next to him.
Master Tang couldn't hold back, turned his head and said to Bai Shan: "I wonder if you have heard a rumor."
Bai Shan: "What rumor?"
"Worship Zhou Man, donate military funds, and get merit." Master Tang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Someone in the palace said that after you get merit, you can get what you want."
Bai Shan: ...
He turned to look at Zhou Man.
Man Bao also heard it, and quickly said: "The princess and the two princesses were there at the time, and they can testify to me. This is all out of words, and this sums it up..."
It's also a bit out of touch with reality.
Master Tang reminded: "It's spread all over the palace, after a while the palace banquet is over, you should go and apologize to His Majesty."
Man Bao drooped his head and said, "Understood."
Why is she pleading guilty again
The palace banquet lasted until late at night. Everyone had enjoyed enough singing and dancing, and they were all full of food and drink. After connecting with each other, some internal officials reminded the almost drunk emperor that it was getting late.
So the emperor led everyone out to look up at the moon, talked for another half an hour, and then dispersed.
Man Bao has been waiting, and when everyone is gone, he and Bai Shan go after the emperor, intending to admit his mistake before the matter escalates.
The emperor was already half-drunk, and the imperial chariot was stopped when he was halfway there, so he raised the curtain and looked out. Although many lanterns were lit on the road, there were still some people who could not be seen clearly.
Gu Zhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is Lord Zhou and Lord Bai who said they came to plead guilty."
Hearing this, the emperor hiccupped and asked, "What's your crime?"
As for the rumors in the palace tonight, Gu Zhong, the emperor's eyes and ears, naturally heard of it, so he said with a smile: "I'm afraid that my words caused trouble, so I'm here to plead guilty."
As soon as the emperor heard it, he knew that it was not a big deal. If it was a big deal, there would be a scene at the palace banquet. Since there was no scene, there was no need to pursue it. However, when did the two children become so timid and come here to plead guilty
But he was a little dizzy at the moment, and he didn't want to talk to them, so he waved his hand and said, "Since it's just a careless speech, then forget it, as long as they know their mistake, let them go out of the palace and go back to rest."
Gu Zhong responded with a smile and went to deliver the decree.
Man Bao didn't expect the face-saving emperor to forgive her so easily, and repeatedly confirmed, "Your Majesty really said that you don't blame us?"
Gu Zhong didn't respond, but just repeated the emperor's words.
Man Bao always felt that he was not very sure about this, but it was too late at night and the emperor was drunk, so it was indeed not the time to entangle, otherwise it would not be worth the loss to make people angry.
Bai Shan also thought so, so he pulled Man Bao's sleeve, and the two saluted together and stepped aside, respectfully sending the emperor away.
When the emperor's chariot passed by, the two said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness."
The emperor waved his hand indifferently.
So Man Bao and Bai Shan ran away in a hurry.
The next day is still a public holiday, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is a three-day holiday, but this time the situation is special, early in the morning, someone from the hospital notified Zhou Man to go back to work overtime, and had to go to a meeting with the Ministry of Military Affairs to discuss the medicinal materials. All kinds of medical supplies.
No one informed Bai Shan, but he still obediently went back to work overtime by himself.
When they entered the palace, the other five Zhongshu Sheren were already there. Obviously, everyone was very diligent.
Therefore, a big news exploded in the capital, which was still in the busy period of the Mid-Autumn Festival, that the emperor was going to conquer Goguryeo in person!
The official documents were posted directly on the public notice wall in front of Jingzhao Mansion, and outside the various city gates, so people who entered and exited the capital could see them as soon as they looked up.
Before the public announcement came out, Honglu Temple sent troops to directly detain all the Goguryeo missions living in the post station, and none of them was released.
Well, except for the two who they just delivered yesterday.
But at this time, the two of them hurried back and presented a letter to Yin Li.
Yin Li carefully opened the letter, glanced at ten lines at a glance, raised his eyebrows slightly, and after thinking for a while, he didn't replace the letter, but resealed it back, sealed it with wax and handed it to him, "Send it back, don't let They found out."
"Yes, they are stuck now, and their speed is much slower, and the subordinates can catch up in a day. My lord, don't you want to change the letter?"
Yin Li shook his head, "It's better not to change it. Since his letter has revealed that Da Jin wants peace talks, there is no need to change it. Send it back. There is no need to stop the journey later. Let them go back quickly. Goguryeo."
At this time, Zhao Guogong had just sent an official document to the governor of Yingzhou through the Ministry of War, "Let the governor of Yingzhou withdraw his troops, saying that the imperial court wants to negotiate peace with Goguryeo, and ask him not to fight for the time being."
But at the same time, all ministries are making preparations for the imperial conquest.
Gao You and his party were directly guarded. They were idiots and realized that something was wrong, so they kept clamoring for trouble, but Honglu Temple didn't love them at all, and directly separated them from the guards of Goguryeo. go to prison.
Gao You shouted angrily: "If the two countries are at war, if you don't kill me, why do you arrest me?"
"Prince Gao, don't worry, we won't kill the envoys. We still know this etiquette, but in case you collude with Goguryeo and do things that will damage the Jin Dynasty, you need to live here temporarily. Don't worry, we will take you sent back to Goguryeo."
The repatriation is also a gift, and Gao You and his party will go with the army of their own conscripts.
Gao You wanted to vomit blood.
The emperor was about to vomit blood. Although today was a holiday, he still summoned many ministers for a small court meeting. As a result, the important matters were finished, and all the ministers told the emperor that they would make a small contribution to the military resources of the Eastern Expedition. Knowing that the treasury is not rich now, and the emperor's hands are not rich, we can all understand.
But you can't use ghosts and gods to cheat money from the ministers and other family members, can you
This is a very bad behavior, Zishang said it before, without saying anything strange...
