At night, the Zetian Palace was brightly lit, and hundreds of Crane Palace lanterns glowed with a faint luster, illuminating this magnificent palace.
When Lin Muyu arrived, he found that many important ministers had already arrived, including the two princes Tang Lan and Su Muyun.
They're all here, even though they don't have the title of king despite their surname.
But the power of these two people is too great, and the rule of not being crowned king by a foreign surname seems to be in vain for them.
In addition, the ministers attending the meeting also included the commanders of the major legions and the six ministers.
In addition to these top ministries, Except for the members, they are all new faces.
Lin Muyu knew some people, such as Ji Lin and Ouyang Ping, who were from the four major Tianshu families.
Most of the people attending the banquet tonight were from Tianshu Pavilion, which could make people vaguely foresee what was going to happen.
"Mumu" Tang Xiaoxi came up to her from a distance.
She was wearing a fiery red dress.
The dress was dotted with exquisite gems and gold patterns, which made the beautiful girl who was gradually growing into a figure even more stunning.
The long skirt wrapped around her exquisite and graceful body, outlining the perfect curves full of youthfulness, which can be said to be radiant.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but her eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "Xiao Xi is so beautiful tonight."
Tang Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Fortunately you are here today, otherwise I would have been dressing up for so long in vain."
As she said this, she seemed to feel that the implications of this sentence were too strong.
She couldn't help but blush, and turned her pretty face away from Lin Muyu, acting as if I didn't say anything.
"Okay, let's take a seat."
Qin Yan, the commander of the imperial army, walked over in armor, followed by several imperial guards with calm expressions.
He clasped his fists respectfully and said with a smile: "Brother, you are here.
You and Princess Xi will be seated closest to His Highness." place, come with me.”
"good."
After everyone sat down one by one, Qin Yin finally arrived, wearing a beautiful dark blue dress that covered her beautiful figure.
The robe was decorated with a blue spiritual gem pendant with the pattern of a dragon, beautiful and majestic.
Holding the faintly shining Heaven-Suppressing Sword in his hand, he sat lightly on the throne, looking at the ministers with a smile, not angry but powerful.
When the empress arrived, everyone naturally fell silent quickly.
But Qin Yin's eyes fell on Lin Muyu, because she hadn't seen him for many days.
Lin Muyu looked at Qin Yin, and read the yearning in Qin Yin's eyes.
She couldn't help pouting mischievously, and blew a kiss to the empress.
Qin Yin's face suddenly turned red, but the ministers were too far away and the angle was also awkward.
No, I don't even know what happened, but Shangguan Jingyue, the female officer standing next to Qin Yin, smiled.
"Okay, let's start the banquet."
Qin Yin said.
"yes" Shangguan Jingyue stepped forward and announced the start of the banquet, and the wine and food were served.
Since the reorganization of the Royal Forest Guards, the Eagle's Nest Camp has also been rebuilt.
It was supervised by Qin Yan himself.
It quickly regained its strength of seven to eight hundred people, and there was no shortage of strong men, so there was no need to worry about the food in Zetian Palace.
There were so many game and rare fruits in Xunlong Forest that the table was quickly filled with a refreshing fragrance.
Lin Muyu's eyes were fixed on the plate of fish in front of him.
It smelled very fragrant.
It was the legendary dragon fish.
It tasted extremely delicious and already made his index finger move.
Qin Yin held up the wine glass, stood up gently, and said: "My lords, I invite you all to gather here tonight.
I hope you all will not be restrained and will not return until you are drunk.
Come, let us drink this cup to the full.
May the Qin Empire be prosperous and peaceful forever. bustling" "Prosperity, peace, and eternal prosperity" Everyone raised their glasses together and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

The empress made a toast, and no one dared not to show her appreciation.
After drinking the wine, a mellow and spicy aroma flowed into his throat.
Lin Muyu immediately swept through the delicacies on the table in front of him.
While he was feasting, someone at the table stood up, it was Ji Lin.
"Chief Ji Lin, are you okay?"
Qin Yin asked with a smile.
Ji Lin cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I have already drawn up the rank and treatment of those who will be included in Tianshu Pavilion.
I would like to ask Your Highness to take a look."
Qin Yin waved her hand and said: "The master in charge can just read it out directly, and let you all listen to it."
"yes" Ji Lin took out the file hidden in his sleeve, opened it and said loudly: "Tian Shu Pavilion uses literature as a strategy to govern the country.
Anyone who can write a book from heaven can be included in the literary world of Tian Shu Pavilion.
Those who write human books will be given a title.
A person with a monthly salary of two hundred gold coins will be given a monthly salary of two hundred gold coins; those who write a spiritual book will be titled a spiritual scholar, with a monthly salary of one thousand gold coins, and will be rewarded to hundreds of households; those who write a land book will be given the title of spiritual scholar. , the title of land scholar, a monthly salary of three thousand gold coins, and a reward of five hundred households; the one who writes the heavenly book, the title of heavenly scholar, the monthly salary of ten thousand gold coins, the reward of one thousand households, the title of marquis; the one who writes the divine book, the monthly salary of one hundred thousand gold coins, Ten thousand households will be rewarded with the title of Duke, and the title will be passed down from generation to generation.
This is the ranking list of Tianshu Pavilion proposed by the old minister.
Please take a look at it."
After Ji Lin said something, he suddenly seemed to throw a huge stone into a banquet that was as ordinary as water, causing an uproar.
One person stood up and slapped the table.
It was Su Long, the commander of the Iron Blade Army.
His face was very ugly, and his words were filled with the smell of gunpowder.
He said: "Bah, you can become a marquis by writing the Book of Heaven.
How can you be a marquis of the Qin Empire?"
Bad street cabbage?
A mere earth warrior only wants a monthly salary of 3,000 gold coins.
It is simply a dream.
Do you know the monthly salary of the commander of the empire?
The monthly salary of the commander of the Iron Blade Army is only 1,000 gold coins.
How come you, a land warrior, can be treated far better than us?
" Another commander also stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, we and other imperial soldiers have been through life and death, fighting against demons and rebels from the Yihe Kingdom many times.
Only in exchange for the short-term peace and tranquility of the empire now, how many soldiers have died for the country.
The bones are still cold, but now they are canonizing these sour so-called scribes.
The imperial soldiers are not convinced."
More and more people are opposing, and even Feng Jixing, Xiang Yu, and Su Yu have unhappy looks on their faces.
Qin Yin saw it and nodded silently, saying: "I understand what you commanders mean.
However, the inscriptions in the Heavenly Book are mysterious magic formations that can mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
The empire has to pay attention to it, and Master Ji Lin's level is not the same as The monthly salary distribution is not very exaggerated.
After all, no one can write the heavenly book so far, and even the earthly book is extremely rare. " At this time, the Minister of Hubu stood up and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the annual income of the Hubu is almost fixed.
If there is a graded reward like Lord Ji Lin, I am afraid that the expenditure of the Hubu will greatly exceed the budget.
As the As more and more scribes engrave heavenly books, this expense will inevitably increase and eventually reach a point that the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot bear. " "Your Highness" Feng Jixing said calmly: "I think it is better to slightly reduce the monthly salary of some scribes.
Otherwise, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said, the income of the entire empire will be burdened by Tianshu Pavilion."
However, at this moment, Qin Yong from Prince Zhong's Mansion stood up, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Your Highness, once the strategy of governing the country with culture is formulated, it must not be abandoned.
I believe that the salary listed by Director Ji Lin is not excessive."
Qin Yin nodded lightly: "I understand, please sit down, Uncle Wang."
"yes" At this time, Xiang Yu slowly stood up and said: "Your Highness, the demons and the rebels of the Yihe Kingdom are still eyeing the empire.
If we spend all the gold coins on Tianshu Pavilion, once the demons, Yihe Kingdom When war starts again, what should the empire do to resist it?
Is it just relying on these helpless scribes to defend the territory with the Book of Heaven in their hands?

I don’t know if these great men of literature and history can come to the Yihe Kingdom.
Will they be frightened by the sound of iron hoofs?
Pee your pants.”
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh, and even Xiang Yu seemed unable to sit still.
Once Qin Yin agreed to Tianshu Pavilion's request, then the empire would really be strong in culture and weak in military.
At this moment, beside Liu Yan, the head of the Liu Mansion of the four great aristocratic families, a handsome man stood up, put away the paper fan with a "swipe", clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I believe that all the commanders must They have never seen the power of the inscriptions in the Heavenly Book.
If they had seen it, they would probably agree with Master Ji Lin's appeal. " Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you?"
The young man said respectfully: "I am the second son of the Liu family, Liu Feng."
Qin Yin smiled slightly: "Master Liu Feng, what kind of heavenly book can you write?"
Liu Feng said: "I am not talented.
I just wrote a low-grade earthly book late last night.
If I am given more time, I will definitely be able to write a real heavenly book and present it to His Highness."
Not far away, Ji Lin said: "Your Highness, Liu Feng, the second son of the Liu Mansion, is indeed a rare genius.
He can write a book from the ground at the age of 27, which is rare in the world.
His qualifications and understanding are first-class."
"Yeah" Qin Yin said with approval in her eyes: "The empire needs talents like Master Liu Feng.
I hope you will continue to work hard."
Liu Feng raised his head to look at Qin Yin, and was immediately impressed by the empress's peerless beauty.
For a moment, his face was full of lust, and he cupped his fists and said, "For your highness, I will live up to your expectations."
He kept saying "for His Highness", which made everyone a little unhappy, and the look Liu Feng looked at Qin Yin was obviously less awe-inspiring and more frivolous.
Feng Jixing was slightly angry and said: "Master Liu Feng, as a human minister, you dare to look directly at His Highness's face.
Are you being too frivolous?"
Liu Feng hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully: "I deserve to die.
It's just that His Highness's face is like the appearance of a celestial being.
It is so stunningly beautiful and washed away, like a fairy coming to the mortal world.
I can't help but look at it more."
After a while, I hope you will forgive me, Your Highness."
Feng Jixing clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.
At this time, Lin Muyu stood up and said: "Your Highness, I would like to request that Tianshu Pavilion's salary request be halved."
"Oh, brother Ayu thinks so too?"
Qin Yin smiled sweetly.
Liu Feng saw Qin Yin being so affectionate towards Lin Muyu, but he felt very unhappy in his heart.
He said: "Your Highness, the salary of Tianshu Pavilion must not be reduced.
The country is governed by culture.
Scholars are the foundation of the empire.
As I see it, the empire should be reduced."
The gold coins saved from the establishment and equipment expenses of the major legions should be spent on the inscriptions on the Heavenly Book. " "put" Lin Muyu swore a curse word and said: "You can also talk about reducing the empire's legion.
Once the demon clan and the Yihe Kingdom start a war, will the empire have to rely on trash like you to protect the border?"
Liu Feng raised his sword eyebrows and said: "Scribes are not useless.
Everyone in the empire can practice martial arts, but not everyone can write the inscriptions in the heavenly book.
Only one in ten thousand can write it.
Commander Yu relies on his outstanding martial arts skills. , but you must not underestimate Tianshu Pavilion, because Tianshu Pavilion is something that you will never be able to reach in your life."
"Yeah" Lin Muyu sneered: "What if I can write the Heavenly Book and the monthly salary of the Heavenly Book Pavilion is halved?"
"You can write a book."
Liu Feng couldn't help but smile, his eyes full of contempt, and said: "If Commander Yu can write a book from heaven, even if it's just a human book, I, Liu Feng, will be the best."
