Chapter 580: The King's Private Banquet


When reinforcements arrived, Xie An was not able to immediately start a war to destroy the Liang Kingdom of the Zhang family, and the outbreak of the war should wait for the beginning of the next year.

Perhaps it is difficult to start after the beginning of spring, mainly because in recent years, the ice and snow have melted later and later than in earlier years.

The north was basically covered in white, and the south was also in the constant rainy season, and it was actually rare for the Han army to enter a period of calm.

When it came to the annual reporting period, Xie An embarked on the road to Xiangguo, and of course the generals of all fronts, the assassins of various states and the county guards of some large counties would also go to Xiangguo, and some officials who were specially named by the center.

Liu Yan, who had temporarily suspended his pro-conquest, returned to Xiangguo, and he needed to personally preside over the new year's court meeting, especially to listen to the main responsible persons of each front tell what had happened, and to listen to the opinions and evaluations of those people on the development of the war.

Because the king went out to go on a personal expedition, and too many people also left, Xiangguo entered a period of loneliness, waiting for the king's return, and the officials who reported on their work also arrived one after another, and Xiangguo was rejuvenated.

Liu Yan, who returned to Xiangguo, spent most of his time with his family, and the rest of the time in addition to dealing with court affairs, he once again faced a group of long-winded things.

The so-called big and small things.

The big thing is that the voice of persuasion began to appear in the court, thinking that the fall of the Zhao State was imminent, and the countries could not actually give the Han State any big crisis, and Liu Yan's title needed to be changed when it was time to put the emperor on the agenda.

Small things are the various tricks of civil and military officials, and in general, they are competing for labor, and women from abroad are also in contention.

In a practical sense, the state of Shi Qi and Zhao has been destroyed, and there is no conclusive confirmation that it was because of the trend of Dingxiang or siege but not attack, and Shi Hu was not captured or killed.

In addition, there are quite a few remnants of Shiqi in Shuozhou, who have either fled in the vast grasslands or sought refuge from various forces.

Dingxiang has been besieged for more than a year, and too many dead corpses have caused a plague to break out in the city, and the city is almost indistinguishable from ghosts.

The besieging Han army ventured to send people inside, mainly to observe the condition of the palace in the city, and it was found that the palace city was still in a state of strict guard.

Then, that is, no matter what the city of Dingxiang is, at least the palace where Shi Hu is located has not lost its order.

The historical process will soon enter the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, 348 AD, and the speed of time passing makes Liu Yan feel a lot in his spare time.

A moment ago, he was still struggling to survive, but in the blink of an eye, the country was established, and the Han and Miao descendants had their own country, and in a series of confrontations with the Hu people, they re-suppressed the Hu people.

"Your Majesty, Shi Qian will be destroyed, I heard that the hussar general" Cui Wan hesitated for a while, and still said: "Killing the people in a big pit is killing all men and women, old and young, is it too much?"

Liu Yan took the women of the harem for a walk today, and when they came to a chapter platform, the wind became stronger, so they stopped and entered the room, and the palace maids were ready to make tea, but after they sat down, Cui Wan said something like that.

The hussar general Ran Min had returned to Xiangguo from the front, and like many generals who had returned to the rear, he had not been at home for a few years, he would often go out of the city to hunt with his troops, and when he met people, he would brag about how many people he had killed, and especially show off the great achievements of killing the people.

The people who returned to Xiangguo, the civil officials were actually better, the big deal was to hold all kinds of drinking parties, drinking and playing the piano and making music was very joyful, and from time to time there would be poems coming out; The generals were seldom and too many people gathered, and they preferred to put on hunting clothes, go out of the city with their canine teeth, and toss and turn in the white wilderness.

Having said that, it means that you can't be still, otherwise hunting in the ice and snow is simply a toss.

There is no prey in a field of ice and snow, and it is better to say that it is better to take a break and dig out some hibernating animals' nests at the same time.

Not to mention, today Li Tan and Li Kuang worked together to find a bear den, and after they captured and suffocated the grizzly bear, they carried it to the palace to offer treasures.

The arrival of Li Tan and Li Kuang happened to be when Liu Yan was about to answer Cui Wan.

Cui Wan found out that she was pregnant a month and a half after Liu Yan returned to Xiangguo, and once a woman is pregnant, she will become more weak, and many times she will be cranky, such as her husband killing too much, worrying about affecting her offspring, and she will want her husband to kill less and so on.

Of course, Liu Yan knew that Cui Wan was pregnant again, not only Cui Wan, but I didn't know what the situation was this time, one of the women in the harem "won the lottery" one after another, and after the news was confirmed, the entire palace city was already full of joy.

The queen and the concubines have become pregnant, and the matter of draft girls has been mentioned again, Liu Yan has allowed a limited range of selection, and the magistrates of various states and counties who came to Xiangguo to report on their work regard this matter as a top priority.

By the way, most of the hard-working women who were originally rescued, whether they were arranged in Yecheng or Xiangguo, have already gone out to get married.

It will be like this because they find it really not easy to tempt Liu Yan, knowing that Liu Yan has no extra thoughts, they have traveled around the neighborhood a lot, and they have had more encounters with their hearts, and Lang has a lover who is interested, and they have completed a lot of marriages.

In fact, there is a large gap between the proportion of men and women in the Han Kingdom, but it will not cause any problems for the civil and military with high-ranking officials and generous officials, and the real difficulty is the marriage match.

The women who were kidnapped by Shi Hu were naturally very beautiful.

And a woman's desire to be beautiful is not only dependent on being born and raised, but also has more to do with the family environment in which she grew up.

To put it bluntly, they are naturally beautiful women, they work all year round, have no solid wealth to maintain, no living space to develop an excellent temperament, and they will lose their beautiful side after a long time.

Most of the captive women came from various families in the Central Plains, at least the daughters of some big families, and they saw that they could not climb Liu Yan, the king of a country, and that they were already high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so they became good partners for marriage.

"See the king and see the queen and concubine."

Li Tan and Li Kuang entered the room side by side, and when they saw the battle inside, they were actually stunned, and they were more or less embarrassed after seeing the ceremony.

"Wise, Chengji."

Liu Yan slowly stood up, motioned for the others not to move, and smiled at the two of them and said, "Fighting a big bear" "Dig the bear's nest, and when I dig it, I didn't wake up the hibernating bear" Li Tan actively recounted the process, talking about the sound and color, and said happily later: "Because it is suffocated, the bear skin is not damaged, and I want to come to the king to offer treasure." ” Grizzly bears are ferocious animals, especially the grizzly bears killed by Li Tan and Li Kuang stand up two meters high, and it is even more difficult to obtain an intact bear skin, and it is indeed qualified to offer treasures.

"When the big bear struggles, it should have worn out the bear's paws" Li Kuang's face was full of pity: "But I don't know if it will affect the deliciousness." ” Of course, bear paws have been enjoyed in Liu Yan's current status, and the earlier the cooking, the worse the taste of bear paws, that is, the chef's cooking skills are not good, and there will be a lack of sufficient materials.

"It just so happens that Yongzeng also got a big worm the day before yesterday and hasn't cooked it yet."

Liu Yan had already begun to walk, and when he walked to the door, he said to the women: "The widow and you Aiqing are active. ” Cui Wan took the lead and accepted it with a smile.

In fact, she was a little depressed, and she wanted to find an opportunity to talk about things today, but she was interrupted at the beginning.

There are many benefits of being a king, including what the ministers have obtained, and they will give it if they think it is a treasure, Liu Yan has not gone out to hunt recently, but he has obtained a lot of prey, which are all gifts sent by those generals after they are captured.

In fact, when Shi Hu was in the Xiangguo Palace, he built a lot of beautiful buildings, and brought some fierce beasts from all over the country, and there were many strange and strange treasures.

If you want to hunt fierce beasts, there is no place on the Xiangguo side that has more fierce beasts than Miyagi Forest Garden, the problem is that those forest gardens are not places where you can toss blindly as a minister.

Of course, Liu Yan walked at the front of the line, followed a few steps behind him and Li Kuang side by side, and on the left and right were the samurai and armor guards, and the last end of the line was the palace maid.

They were going to the top of the mountain, and Liu Yan had already sent people to invite many military generals, including Ran Min, and Ji Chang and other ministers were also invited.

In addition to inviting people, he also ordered the Miyagi garrison to get some fierce beasts, and some poultry suitable for eating were naturally indispensable.

There was movement in Miyagi, and too many people came out of Miyagi to go to many civil and military mansions, which soon attracted the attention of the whole city.

"Princess, I have already found out that it was the king who sent someone to invite the ministers to the palace and the banquet."

There are many women who can be called princesses now, except for Liu Yan's daughters who are not a few years old, that is, Liu Yao's young daughter Liu.

There are not many people who know what Liu's name is, it is difficult for the daughters of ordinary people to know the name, and the larger families will not reveal the names of their daughters, and the family and the official family are even more familiar with etiquette, and only some close people will know what a woman is.

Liu's name is a single word wall, Liu Bi's milk name is Puppet Guilei, the milk name is actually a flower name on the grassland, and the person who knows the name and the milk name is actually almost dead.

Well, I can't find it in the history books, it's actually an indiscriminate collection of honor.

"Minister" Liu Bi can probably determine who they are, anyway, there will be no her, let alone those who surrendered to the Han State after the Battle of Dingxiang.

She didn't know what to think about for a while, and then said, "You go and deliver the post yourself and ask to see the queen."

If the queen does not respond, she can see Concubine De again. ” Liu Xian saluted and then should "promise".

He was a courtier of the Zhao Kingdom of Shiqi before, but now he is Liu Bi's housekeeper.

Liu Bi's identity is very embarrassing, she surrendered when the Han army attacked Dingxiang, and she made some contributions in the process.

Maybe because of merit, or maybe for other reasons, anyway, she was not defined as a criminal by the Han Kingdom, but she didn't get any official status, but was only rewarded with a mansion and some possessions.

As for Liu Bi's son Shi Shi, it was a fluke that he was not killed, and he was destined to be imprisoned.

The identity is embarrassing, the status is even more embarrassing, Liu Bi has always wanted to get some changes, and there is no luxury to ask Shi Shi to be released for the time being, but at least obtaining an official identity that can be accepted by the Han State is her goal now.

There are too many people who follow Miyagi's movements, and they still want to know if they will be invited, so as to judge their weight in the king's heart.

Some of the people who were invited took it for granted, and there were also people who were invited and felt flattered.

There are more people who confirm that they have not been invited, and most of them are self-aware but inevitably disappointed.

Wang Meng was named by the center to return to Xiangguo, and after he received the invitation, he was surprised and happy at the same time.

When he served as Liu Yan's personal secretary, his office was in Linzi, and Xiangguo was actually a house without a name, and he lived in a post house.

The existence of the post house is to give the officials who come to the center a place to stay.

When someone from Miyagi came over, the people who learned about the news were all kinds of gestures, even if they knew that it was unlikely, they hoped that a miracle would happen and they would be invited by the king.

Today, Liu Yan held a private banquet, and being able to be invited to the king's private banquet is actually more meaningful than the state banquet in some festivals.

Wang Meng happened to receive the invitation in public, and he could find out what the situation of the people around him was in an instant, and the eyes of envy, jealousy, and hatred were concentrated, and some people who were sincerely happy for Wang Meng became rare.

The name of "Desi" Wang Meng is a person named Gu Shouyi, who is Bohai Juncheng.

He looked at Gu Shouyi's sincere congratulations and gave the corresponding return: "You can invite another person to have a banquet, and it is better for De Si to walk with Meng."

Gu Shouyi had contact with Wang Meng in some official affairs, and the two became friends after coming and going.

He came to congratulate him because he was close, and he was really happy for Wang Meng sincerely, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected surprise.

At that moment, I don't know how many people present were about to regret their intestines, and they thought that the person who congratulated them for the first time just now was themselves.

However, what they didn't think about was whether the same congratulations, attitude and previous friendships, and other factors would make Wang Meng take him to the king's private banquet.

It's piggybacking, after all, it's not among Liu Yan's invitations, the people who receive Liu Yan's invitation, they are not qualified to invite anyone else for Liu Yan, although it is the same to participate in the banquet, but the meaning is different.

When you go to Miyagi to participate in the king's private banquet, you must prepare well, at least you should take a shower and clean up yourself, and you must not be too sloppy in your dress.

Wang Meng felt that he should have arrived early with his official position and title, but what he didn't expect was that it was too late.

When he and Gu Shouyi arrived in Miyagi and were led to the banquet venue, they saw many people coming early as soon as they entered.

"Hey, where do you know the fun of so-and-so" Ran Min is hugging Huan Wen, looking at the strength of patting Huan Wen's shoulder: "Dig the pit yourself, throw the karma into the pit, only let the karma show one head, and then make a few cuts on the braincase of the karma, get some honey to attract ants, looking at the appearance of the karma is not as good as death, how much Menti enjoys" Wang Meng and Gu Shouyi, who accidentally listened to the process, looked at each other when they heard it
