However, before Feng Jixing and Lin Muyu went out, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a guard of the Shenhou Mansion respectfully said: "Fan Gong, Master Zhuang Yan sent someone to deliver the invitation, saying that it is the drunk god who will be in the imperial capital at noon tomorrow. There is a banquet in the building, and Fan Gong is invited to come."
"Drunk Xianlou?"
Zeng Yifan frowned and said, "Call someone in."
"Yes!"
The person Zhuang Yan sent was not like a soldier, but like a businessman. He was fat and bloated, with a horoscope. When he saw Lin Muyu and Feng follow the journey, he immediately opened his eyes and smiled: "So your Royal Highness is also here, then Even better, you two are also in the invitation list. Tomorrow at noon, Zui Xianlou, this is an invitation from Master Zhuang Yan."
He took out four invitations at once, not only Zeng Yifan, Lin Muyu, and Feng Jixing were among the invitations, and even Wei Qiu was among them.
"Master Zhuang Yan, what is this going to do?" Lin Muyu asked.
The messenger shook his head and said: "The little one is just a messenger, and I don’t know what the reason is. But Master Zhuang Yan said that tomorrow noon there will be a shocking news announced in Zuixianlou, please two of your Royal Highness and Fan Gong , Duke Wei Guo, don’t miss it.”
"Who else did he invite?" Feng Jixing asked.
"Yeah... The three magistrates, three grand princes, and many marquis have all invited. In addition, the military department, official department, criminal department, temple, and panacea department in Lanyan City are all invited, and there are about a hundred people in total. "
"Okay, it's okay, you go, tell Zhuang Yan, we must be there on time tomorrow."
"Yes, that little one has retired."
After the messenger left, several people in the meeting room frowned.
"His movements are fast. Before we have time to do it, he will take preemptive actions." Lin Muyu said lightly, "The meal at Zuixianlou tomorrow at noon must not be so delicious."
Zeng Yifan nodded: "A few days ago I heard that Zhuang Yan also hosted princes and kings from all walks of life many times. Liu Xiyu, Su Changying, Zhou Heng, Zhao Xinpei, Yang Zhong and other princes were among them. The emperor had only There are 100,000 horses, but hundreds of princes have six or seven times as many as ours. They are already in control of life and death."
After that, Zeng Yifan sat down and sighed: "It turns out that you can enjoy peace by defeating the Celestial Continent, but I didn't expect that the empire's chaos had just begun."
Feng Jixing said: "Zhuang Yan and others have no good intentions. In my opinion, they should cut the mess quickly and kill the leaders of the princes directly.
Zeng Yifan smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness, now and then, now is not the time for you to kill Hundred Generals at the Seventh Customs House. At that time, the main force of the Emperor's ** team was still there, and Tang Lan was still there. Fear, and now, the chaos of the vassal army is no longer comparable to that of people like Tanglu, Zhuang Yan, Su Changying, Liu Xiyu, which one is not an old fox, if we really kill them with our status as a god, their subordinates They will also lead a large army to attack Lanyan City, the imperial capital can no longer bear such a war."
Lin Muyu said, "I will talk to Zuixianlou at noon tomorrow."
"Yeah." Feng Jixing nodded.
Lin Muyu looked at Wei Qiu again, and said, "The two thousand gentian camps are dispatched to martial law around Zuixianlou. If something really goes wrong, I would rather kill the mistake and not let all the princes stay!"
Wei Qiu clasped his fists: "Yes, the subordinates understand!"
Feng Jixing groaned: "This matter... Do you want to tell His Royal Highness Yin and Princess Xi?"
"The two of them have just been freed from the war, so let's make our own decisions. I don't think Xiaoyin and Xiaoxi will blame us."
"good!"
…
The next day, at noon, there were no other guests in the Zuixianlou on Tongtian Street, and the guards of the vassals were put under martial law inside and out. However, in the streets outside Zuixianlou, they were again taken by the Longdan camp. The armored cavalry of China is so hard to see, if there is any disturbance, the hundreds of guards of the princes army are naturally not the elite opponents of the battle-fighting gentian battalion.
Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing came to the Zuixianlou together. When they entered, they found that Qin Yan, Su Yu, and Zeng Yifan were already there. The huge Zuixianlou had been packaged by Zhuang Yan today, and there was no one else. , All the guests are important ministers in the DPRK.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs stepped forward to salute. Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing nodded their heads, which was regarded as a return. In fact, it was not necessary for them to be like this because of their status.
Soon after, Zhuang Yan, Liu Xiyu and others walked out from inside. Zhuang Yan laughed and knelt down and said, "I will see the three Highnesses in the end. It is really an honor for our princes from all walks of life that the three Highnesses are willing to show their faces."
"Master Zhuang doesn't need to be polite, get up." Lin Muyu said.
"Then, please take your seats!"
Zhuang Yan nodded and smiled, and led Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Qin Yan and others straight to the most central table. The guests at this table were all First Grade. In addition to the Three Kings and the Three Gongs, there were also the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry. Everyone, Hubu Shangshu and others, are heavyweights who can make Lan Yancheng tremble by stomping their feet.
Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing were silent, and there was no good banquet. Today is destined to be nothing good.
The table was filled with delicious food quickly, and the wine was overflowing. Lin Muyu and Feng continued to march outside for many years. Where can I have the opportunity to taste the delicious food in Zuixianlou, now I can’t help being greeted by gluttons, but I still have to bear it. , After all, something big will happen today.
"I don't know why Master Zhuang hosted a banquet for us today?" Zeng Yifan asked with a smile, squinting.
Zhuang Yan smiled slightly and said: "Everyone is the mainstay of the empire. The three kings govern the world, the four gongs determine the world, and the Wuhou town. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households provide the most solid logistical support for the emperor, and they work together. In order to drive away the powerful enemy, compared with the adults, we princes who recruit themselves are simply without qualifications at all, but the army in our hands only recognizes our face, so... Today, Zhuang is here. The purpose of the banquet here is to get acquainted with each other and prepare for future cooperation and allegiance to the empire."
His appearance of loyalty and courage is beyond doubt.
Lin Muyu was expressionless. For so many years, the loyal and traitorous minister knew at a glance that Zhuang Yan was obviously just a tactical villain, and there were still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the loyal minister, so Lin Muyu said, "When will the dinner be opened? I'm hungry."
"Ha, please wait a moment, His Royal Highness King Qin."
Zhuang Yan slapped haha and said, "In addition to you, the end general also invited a respected elder of the imperial family. Only with his presence can the empire truly last for a long time."
"Oh?"
Lin Muyu was a little unhappy, and said, "Who is it that can have such a big tone?"
"We found this person in Tianshu Province. He has been incognito for many years. He escaped from the Fairy Lake and lived in the northeast of Tianshu Province, living a life like a hunter. I think... His Royal Highness should be quite familiar. of."
Zhuang Yan glanced at Qin Yan deeply.
Qin Yan was taken aback for a moment: "I...? What am I familiar with, you will talk about it after calling someone."
"good."
Zhuang Yan patted his palms and said, "Come here, please, my majesty!"
Suddenly, the curtain at the back of the hall was opened, and a gray-bearded old man walked over with the help of two guards. His spirit was still awkward, but his face was extremely old. Everyone was dumbfounded and felt a little familiar, even Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing was also dumbfounded. This person seemed to have seen him somewhere, but... I can't remember it again.
Qin Yan stood up slowly, and walked over in despair, tremblingly: "Father...Is that you? Father..."
The visitor is Qinhuan, King of Ning! The younger brother of Qin Jin and Qin Yi!
Qin Yu was in tears, and his palm tremblingly supported Qin Yan's arm: "Ayan... My Ayan has grown up, and my father misses you and your brother every day, and I finally see you today... "
Qin Yan cried bitterly: "Father... We have been dead for so many years... Why, why are you here today?"
Qin Huan said: "At the beginning, the second brother didn't listen to my advice and killed the emperor brother and smashed each other. But he didn't want to kill me. He just made people go to a distant place alone. He said that as long as I stay incognito. I won’t be held accountable, otherwise, someone will be sent to chase me down. For so many years... I have been hiding in the mountains and no one knows... Ayan, your brother..."
Qin Yan burst into tears: "My brother, he was already martyred in the Lanyan City Rebellion 11 years ago!"
"My Arley..."
Qin Xuan trembled all over, and after receiving this news from Qin Yan's mouth, he truly felt the pain of losing a loved one.
Zhuang Yan stepped forward, helped Qin Huan, and said, "His Royal Highness, please take a seat. Qin Lei is the pride of the empire who died for the country. You should be happy for him."
Qin Xuan nodded and took a seat.
Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing stood up at the same time and respectfully said: "See His Royal Highness Jining!"
"I know you..." Qin Wei said quietly, "You are Lin Muyu, the son of the emperor's brother, and you are Feng Jixing, the commander of the Forbidden Army."
"Exactly."
"You are the king now..." Qin Xuan looked at the cloaks of the two of them, naturally knowing their identities.
Su Yu said: "His Royal Highness Ji Ning, Ayu was named King of Qin, Feng Jixing was named King of Letters, and your son Qin Yan was named King of Loyalty. It was these three of them who ruled Daqin for so many years. The world."
"I know, I know all..."
Feng Jixing smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Ji Ning is the uncle of His Highness the Empress. It is great that you can return safely. The empire has added a minister of arms. It is indeed a blessing for the world. It is better to... Your Highness will Just let us escort to Zetian Hall to see Her Royal Highness, right?"
Qin Xuan was startled, did not speak, but Zhuang Yan on the side smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Ji Ning has been struggling, so don't rush to see His Royal Highness, it's better to wait for the court meeting tomorrow morning."
Feng Jixing said coldly: "As for His Highness King Jining, when is it your turn for a small sunset city prefect?"
There was a murderous look in his words, making Zhuang Yan's uncontrollable face pale.
Lin Muyu quickly stretched out his hand to hold Feng Jixing's wrist, and said, "Big Brother Feng, let's hear the meaning of His Royal Highness Ning."
Qin Xuan coughed violently, and said: "Then... tomorrow morning, anyway, it's not in a hurry at this time. I have been traveling between the mountains and the wild for just so many years. I have heard and seen many things, so I can write a book of notes. Present it to Her Royal Highness the Empress."
Lin Muyu nodded: "Well, all right."
Feng Jixing glared at Lin Muyu, seemingly dissatisfied.
And Lin Muyu’s voice was like a silk thread. The wind continued to hear: "I know that Zhuang Yan wants to control us through King Jining, but we can’t act recklessly. In the final analysis, we want to give King Jining this emperor uncle. Face, better to give A Yan a face, he just learned that his father is not dead, how can we pour cold water at this time."
Feng Jixing's anger gradually diminished, and he nodded, then stopped talking, and started to eat food.
