Xia Sang glanced at Long Zijin, and the two suddenly thought that it's not a bad thing for the Emperor to go to the birthday banquet, because there is one person who will go too.
However, things are often unexpected. At the birthday banquet, everyone was there.
Even Bai Zhanfeng arrived.
Except Nianfei.
The feast was arranged outside the temple, and the sky was full of stars.
On the main seat, Long Feili sat in the middle, the queen mother and the queen sat on both sides, Xu Xi Xia Sang waited beside Long Feili, Long Zijin winked at Xia Sang from afar, Xia Sang smiled helplessly, Long Zijin Ask him, he doesn't know, how could he know that Concubine Nian didn't come.
Although the monarch and ministers were happy together, Long Feili had already drank a lot of wine and could no longer drink it. Xia Sang could see clearly that after the emperor came, the phoenix eyes swept the first concubine, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, stop drinking." Xu Xi urged in a low voice.
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and said with a smile: "The emperor has always been very good at drinking. Today is another happy day. It's okay to drink a few more glasses."
"What the mother said is very true! Your Majesty, this cup, my ministers respect you!" Long Liyu laughed and raised the wine cup.
Long Xiuwen smiled and raised the wine cup in his hand, saying, "Your Majesty, after drinking this cup of Third Brother, you must not drink this cup."
Long Zijin sneered in his heart, I'm afraid that, as Long Feili said, these people have already seen that Long Feili is seriously ill, and this wine hurts his body, which is exactly what they wanted. He stood up and said angrily: "The two brothers rarely come to Beijing, and they are close to the ninth brother, but they have completely forgotten me as a younger brother."
Long Feili smiled and said: "Then the two brothers should drink this cup with the tenth brother. Don't let him say that the ninth brother has deceived him."
Long Liyu was slightly resentful, but Long Xiuwen chuckled lightly, raised his glass, and drank it.
For a moment, the monarch and minister laughed, and everyone drank several cups.
After three rounds of drinking, Long Feili smiled and said, "Taking advantage of this festive day, I also have some good news to announce to all the ministers."
He walked down the steps and walked to a handsome young man in white next to Long Zijin. The officials present were surprised. This man in white did not know everyone. There should be no official and no title, how did you arrange a good seat in the neighboring ten princes
At this time, seeing the emperor walk down in person, he seemed to want to introduce himself to everyone, and he was even more curious, but Long Feili stood still, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "My dear fellows, this Bai Gongzi was born hundreds of years ago. To help the descendants of the Great General King, who ruled the world by the ancestor emperor of Xiliang, I now hand over 300,000 troops to Bai Qing, and bestow Bai Qing as the National Army Marshal. income under his command."
Except for the slight smile at the corner of Long Xiuwen's mouth, everyone below the Queen Mother was stunned!
This gentle young man in front of him is actually the descendant of the general king who deterred Xiliang a hundred years ago? This was extremely shocking, but what was even more unexpected was that the emperor handed over military power to this man. Therefore, no matter whether the descendants of the general king died as early as a hundred years ago, even if this man is really the descendant of the general king, how could the emperor dare to hand over the military power to the grievances between the royal family and the Bai family? Originally, the upper factions had already decided to hand over military power to one of the three families of Wen, Nian, and Rong.
Nian Xiang glanced at Long Feili and smiled coldly. It turned out that everything had been calculated early in the morning, Long Feili, you are indeed cruel!
The Empress Dowager quickly exchanged glances with Wen Rukai, Jixiang Ruyi could see clearly from behind, the Empress Dowager clenched her jade hand and frowned tightly.
"Thank the emperor for his great kindness, Bai Zhanfeng will do his best to repay the emperor's kindness and protect the country's security." Bai Zhanfeng walked out, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down in front of Long Feili, his voice equally clear and firm.
Although the two had ideas for each other because of Xuanji's affairs, the secret discussion in the Bai Mansion, the cooperation of capturing the Murong Clan in the dense forest, and the assignment of 300,000 soldiers to this moment was no small matter. , or faith and sincerity.
Long Feili narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes dimmed, smiled faintly, and said softly: "Her affairs has nothing to do with military power, and has nothing to do with her family and country. Can I entrust you with the well-being of the people of Xiliang?"
Bai Zhanfeng's black eyes were as bright as fire, and he said, "The same is true. She once said that in front of the people, personal grievances should be like a feather."
The imperfect face was faintly reflected in his mind, and Long Feili was slightly taken aback... A woman, he didn't expect her to think like this, so he laughed loudly, but there was no possibility between him and her. She was even absent tonight!
He walked back to the main seat of the high platform, picked up a cup of wine, and drank it with his head up.
The residual wine slowly descended along the neck, and under the seat, Long Zijin and others knelt down first, and then everyone bent their knees and knelt down. Long live Shengming. On such a night, the stars are drunk and the moon is fascinated, the lights and wine are bright, the voices are like boiling, and everything in front of me seems to be an unframed painting. But the heart is like being drenched in fire. Is it because the wine is invincible, or is it invincible in people's hearts? who knows
After the lively sip of cups had passed, he asked Xu Xi beside him, "Where's Concubine Nian
This sound made the people in the arena half sober, and almost everyone noticed when they sat down: Concubine Nian didn't come.
Xu Xi replied earnestly: "Concubine Nian said that the concubine Nian had made a big mistake. Today, on the emperor's birthday, she has no face to go to the banquet, so she stayed in the Fengji Palace to think about her sins behind closed doors, in order to repent of her sister's sins."
