Chapter 580: : The King's Private Banquet
With the arrival of reinforcements, Xie An was not able to immediately start the battle to destroy the country of Zhang's Liang, and the outbreak of the war should wait for the beginning of the coming year.
Perhaps it will be difficult to start the fight after the beginning of spring, mainly because the ice and snow have melted more and more later in recent years than in earlier years.
The north is basically shrouded in white, and the south is also the rainy season. It is actually very difficult for the Han army to enter the calm period.
At the time of the annual debriefing period, Xie An embarked on the road to Xiangguo. Of course, the generals on various fronts were the same. The governors of various states and the county guards of some large counties would also go to Xiangguo. Others were specially named by the center. Official.
Liu Yan, who had temporarily terminated his personal campaign, returned to Xiangguo. He needed to personally preside over the new year's dynastic meeting, especially by listening to the main persons in charge of various fronts telling about what happened, and listening to those people's opinions and assessments on the development of the war.
As the emperor went out on a personal expedition and too many people left, Xiangguo entered a period of loneliness, waiting for the king to return. Officials who reported on their duties also arrived one after another, and Xiangguo was rejuvenated.
Liu Yan, who returned to Xiangguo, spent most of his time with his family. In the rest of the time, apart from dealing with the affairs of the state, he was faced with a bunch of long-winded and long-winded affairs.
The so-called big and small things. The big event is that there are voices of persuasion in the middle of the DPRK, thinking that the destruction of Shijie Zhao is just in sight, and other countries cannot actually give the Han country any major crisis. When the title of Liu Yan needs to be changed, that is, the title will be changed. The emperor put on the agenda. Trivial matters are all kinds of frictions between civil and military officials, and they are generally competing for labor, and women who are acquired from abroad are also competing for it.
In a practical sense, Shi Jie Zhao Kingdom has been destroyed, and there is no final confirmation of the tendency of not attacking because of Dingxiang or the siege. Shi Hu has not been captured or killed. In addition, there are quite a few remnants of Shijie in Shuozhou. They either fled to the vast grassland or sought refuge from various forces.
Dingxiang has been besieged for more than a year, and too many dead bodies have caused a plague in the city. Jucheng is almost indistinguishable from ghosts. The besieged Han army took the risk of sending people inside, mainly to observe the conditions of Miyagi in the city, and found out whether Miyagi was still in a tightly guarded state. So, no matter what the urban area of Dingxiang is, at least the Miyagi where Shihu is located has not lost its order.
The course of history will soon enter the sixth year of Yuanshuo (AD 348), and how fast time passes makes Liu Yan feel a lot of feelings in his spare time. A moment ago, he was still struggling to survive. In a blink of an eye, a country was established, and the Han Hmong had its own country. In a series of confrontations with the Hu nationality, the Hu nationality was suppressed again.
"My lord, Shi Jie is about to die, I heard that General Hussein..." Cui Wan hesitated for a while, or said, "A large-scale slaying of Jie people is to kill all men, women and children, is it too much?"
Today, Liu Yan took the women from the harem for a walk. When they reached a Zhangtai, the wind became stronger. They stopped and entered the room. The maids were preparing to make tea, but Cui Wan said something like that after they were seated.
Hussar General Ran Min has returned to Xiangguo from the front line. Like many generals who have returned to the rear, he has not been living at home for a few years and has been running around. He will often go out of the city to hunt with his trilogy, and he will brag about himself when he meets people. How many people have been killed, in particular, will show off their great achievements.
Those who return to Xiang are actually better as civil servants. The big deal is that they hold various cocktail parties. Drinking and playing the piano are very joyful. From time to time, there will be poetry and poems. The generals are not too many people together. They prefer to wear them. Putting on a hunting suit, taking his canines out of the city, tossing hard in the white wilderness.
Having said that, it means that I can't stand still, or hunting in the ice and snow is simply tossing. There is no prey in a piece of ice and snow. It is better to say that it is hunting than to relax while digging out some nests of hibernating animals.
Don't tell me, today Li Tan and Li Kuang worked together to dig out a bear den. After they captured and suffocated the grizzly, they carried it to Miyagi to offer treasures.
The arrival of Li Tan and Li Kuang happened to be when Liu Yan wanted to answer Cui Wan.
Cui Wan found out that she was pregnant about a month and a half after Liu Yan returned to Xiang. Once a woman is pregnant, she will become weaker, and she will often think crazy, such as her husband killing too much for fear of the impact. In the offspring, they will want their husbands to kill less and so on.
Of course, Liu Yan knew that Cui Wan was pregnant again. Not only Cui Wan, but also this time, I don’t know what the situation is. One of the women in the harem is considered to have "won the lottery." After the news is confirmed, the entire Miyagi has already been A beam of joy. New and old love come together
The queen and all the concubines were pregnant. The issue of drafting women was brought up again. Liu Yan has allowed a limited range of choices. The magistrates of various states and counties who came to Xiangguo to report on their duties regarded this matter as a top priority.
By the way, most of the women who had been rescued in the past, whether they were arranged in Yecheng or Xiangguo, have already gone out to get married. This is why they find it is not easy to seduce Liu Yan. Knowing that Liu Yan has nothing to worry about, they often go shopping nearby, and they have a lot of intentional encounters. Lang has a lot of love, and they have made a lot of marriages.
In fact, there is a large gap in the ratio of men to women in Han, but it does not cause any problems for civil and military personnel with high officials and generous pay. The real difficulty is the right to the marriage.
The women who were taken abducted by Shihu are naturally very beautiful. And women wanting to be beautiful is not only dependent on being born, it is actually more related to the family environment in which they grow up. To put it bluntly, women who are naturally beautiful, they work in the wind and sun all year round, do not have substantial wealth to maintain, and have no living space to develop an excellent temperament, and they will lose their beauty over time.
Most of those abducted women came from various families with profound family traditions in the Central Plains, and at least they were also the daughters of some big clans. Seeing that they could not climb Liu Yan, the king of a country, they were already high-ranking officials and many single talents, so they changed. Become a good target for marriage.
"See the king! I have seen the queen and concubine."
Li Tan and Li Kuang entered the room side by side. They were actually dumbfounded when they saw the battle inside. After seeing the ceremony, they were somewhat embarrassed.
"Ruicai, Chengji." Liu Yan stood up slowly, motioned to the others not to move, and smiled at the two of them and said, "Hit a big bear?"
"Drawing out the bear's nest, I didn't wake up the hibernating big bear when I drew it..." Li Tan actively described the process, talking about vividness, and then said joyfully: "Because it is suffocated, the bear skin is not damaged, thinking about it. I'm looking for the king to present treasures."
A grizzly bear is a ferocious animal, especially the grizzly bears killed by Li Tan and Li Kuang stand up to two meters high. It is even more difficult to obtain an intact bear skin. It is indeed qualified to offer treasures. .
"When the big bear was struggling, the bear's paw should have been worn out..." Li Kuang was full of pity: "But I don't know if it will affect the deliciousness."
Bear's paw has certainly been enjoyed as Liu Yan's current status. The earlier the bear's paw is cooked, the worse it tastes. It is because the chef's cooking skills are not good, and there will be insufficient ingredients.
"It just so happens that Yongzeng got a big worm the day before yesterday and hasn't cooked it yet." Liu Yan had already started to take a step, and when he reached the door, he said to the women: "Widows and all the Aiqing activities."
Cui Wan took a head and accepted it with a smile. In fact, she was a little depressed. Today, she wanted to find a chance to talk about things, but she was interrupted as soon as she started.
There are many benefits of being a king, including what the ministers and workers have obtained, and they will offer them if they think they are treasures. Liu Yan has not gone out hunting recently, but he has obtained a lot of prey, all of which are gifts given by those generals after they have captured them. .
In fact, when Shihu was in the Xiangguo Palace, he went to great lengths to build magnificent buildings, many beasts were brought from all over the country, and there were many strange treasures.
If you want to hunt down beasts, there are no more places in Xiangguo than Miyagi Linyuan's beasts. The problem is that those Linyuan are not places where you can mess around as ministers.
Of course, Liu Yan was walking in the front of the team. A few steps behind followed by the luggage altar and Li Kuang, the samurai and armor guards were on the left and right sides, and the palace lady was at the end of the team.
They are going to the top of the mountain. Liu Yan has sent people to invite many generals including Ran Min, and civil servants such as Ji Chang are also on the list. In addition to inviting people, he also ordered the Miyagi Guards to get some beasts, and some poultry suitable for eating were naturally indispensable.
There was movement in Miyagi. Too many people came out of Miyagi and went to many civil and military residences, which quickly attracted the attention of the whole city.
"Princess, it is clear that the king sent someone to invite the ministers to the palace and have a banquet."
Nowadays, there are many women who can be called princesses. In Xiangguo, except for Liu Yan's younger daughters, that is Liu Yao, the youngest daughter of Liu's family. Wedding pets sultry: the president dotes on his wife to the bone
There are not many people who know what Liu’s name is. It is difficult for girls in ordinary households to know their names. Larger families will not disclose the names of their girls. Aristocratic families and official families know etiquette and only close talents. Will know what a woman is.
Liu's name is single-character wall. Liu Bi's name is Pup Guilei. The name is actually a kind of flower name on the grassland. People who know the name and name are actually almost dead. (Uh, the history books can't find it, it's actually obtained by honor.)
"The minister?" Liu Bi could be sure of who they were. There wouldn't be her anyway, let alone those who surrendered to Han after the Battle of Dingxiang. She didn't know what to think about for a while, and said: "Go and pass the post in person, requesting to see the queen. If the queen doesn't respond, you can see De Fei again."
Liu Xian should "promise" after saluting. He used to be Shi Jie Zhao's courtier, but now he is Liu Bi's steward.
Liu Bi's identity is very embarrassing. She surrendered when the Han army attacked Dingxiang, and she made some contributions in the process. It may be due to credit or other reasons. Anyway, she was not defined as a criminal by Han, but she did not obtain any official status, but was rewarded with a house and some property.
As for Liu Bi's son Shi Shi... not being killed was a fluke, and he was destined to be imprisoned.
The status is embarrassing, and the status is even more embarrassing. Liu Bi has always wanted to get some changes. It is temporarily hopeless to seek Shi Shi, but at least obtaining an official identity that can be accepted by Han is her current goal.
There are too many people who follow Miyagi's movements, and in general they still want to know if they will be invited, and judge their weight in the king's heart. Some people who are invited take it for granted, but there are also people who are invited and feel flattered. There are more people who confirm that they have not been invited. Most of them are self-aware but unavoidably disappointed.
Wang Meng returned to Xiang Country only after being named by the center. After he received the invitation, he was surprised and at the same time feeling happy. When he was Liu Yan's personal secretary, his office was in Linzi, and Xiangguo was actually an unnamed mansion, and he lived in a post house.
The existence of the post is to give the officials who come to the center a place to stay. When someone from Miyagi came over, the people who learned of the wind had various gestures. Even if they knew the possibility was unlikely, they hoped that a miracle would happen and were invited by the king.
What Liu Yan held today was a private banquet. Being able to be invited to participate in the private banquet of the emperor is actually more meaningful than the state banquet in some festivals.
Wang Meng happened to receive an invitation from a large crowd. He could discover the situation of the people around him in an instant. His eyes of envy, jealousy, and hatred were concentrated, and those who were sincerely happy for Wang Meng became rare.
"De Si..." Wang Meng's name was a person named Gu Shouyi, from Bohai County Cheng. Facing Gu Shouyi, he looked at sincere congratulations and gave a corresponding return: "Can you invite another person to have a banquet, why don't Desi and Meng go with you?"
Wang Shouyi had contact with Wang Meng on some official duties, and the two became friends once and again. He came to congratulate him because he was close, he would be sincere and really happy for Wang Meng, but he did not expect to have an unexpected surprise.
At that moment, I don't know how many people present were about to regret it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They thought that the person who congratulated the first time just now was themselves. However, what they hadn't thought about was whether the same congratulations, attitude and past friendships, and other factors would allow Wang Meng to take him to the king's private dinner together.
It's just piggybacking. After all, they are not among Liu Yan's invitations. People who receive Liu Yan's invitation are not qualified to invite someone for Liu Yan. Although it is the same to attend a banquet, the meaning is different.
Going to Miyagi to participate in the emperor's private banquet, you must prepare well, at least you should take a bath and clean yourself up, and the clothes must not be too sloppy.
Wang Meng felt that with his official position and title, he should have arrived earlier, but he didn't expect that he would come too late. When he and Wang Shouyi arrived in Miyagi and were led to the banquet venue, they saw many people coming early as soon as they entered.
"Hey, how do you know the fun of XX!" Ran Min put his arms around Huan Wen, seeing that the strength of Pa Huan Wen's shoulders is still a bit strong: "Dig the hole personally, throw Jiehu into the pit, only let Jiehu show his head, and then Make a few stabs on Jiehu's skull, get some honey, and watch that Jiehu looks like life is not as good as death. Don't mention how enjoyable it is!"
Wang Meng and Wang Shouyi, who accidentally listened to the process, looked at each other.
