"The arrow is on the string and must be fired. Should we attack now?"

"It's not time yet, let's wait until the banquet begins!" Someone frowned gloomily, and his voice was almost inaudible.

In this way, several people reached a consensus and huddled in the crowd and stopped talking.

In the high hall, Zhou Jian said with a smile on his face: "In that case, I can rest assured. Fang Jie, you will personally send someone outside the city to welcome the King of the North!"

"Yes!" Fang Jie shouted.

For a time, all the civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and relatives all nodded secretly and expressed their appreciation.

"Your Majesty is truly a benevolent king!"

"It can be said that the courtesy to the King of the North has reached the extreme. Even the Imperial Army went to greet him in person."

"That's right!"

"Your Majesty has a broad mind, I admire you!" Someone shouted and bowed deeply.

Immediately afterwards, everyone knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is kind and respectful to his elders and loves his ministers. I admire you!"

Hearing this, some of the clan members who had ulterior motives and were close to King Bei turned green in the face!

on purpose!

Your Majesty, you did this on purpose!

He is ruthless behind the scenes, yet so polite on the surface. At such a young age, he is extremely proficient in the power of an emperor!

They are angry and frustrated!

I never expected that Zhou Jian would come up with this move. Now that King Bei didn't come to the capital, he became the target of public criticism.

But when the time came, they couldn't do anything and could only watch.

On the contrary, Zhou Jian on the dragon throne smiled with satisfaction.

As a soul thousands of years later, he knows how important it was to have a reputation and a "reason" in ancient times!

Especially in the face of an imperial uncle like King Bei, if you don't pay attention, you will be infamous forever, or the heroes will rise up and the world will be in chaos.

It is okay to kill the King of the North, but the mood of the feudal kings in various places must be taken into consideration.

"alright!"

"My dear friends, today is the first day of the New Year. I will not talk about official matters. Let's go through the procedures arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette."

"Counting the time, it's time to pay homage to our ancestors and offer incense."

"Let's go."

He waved his hand, not wanting to delay any more, because the main event had not come at all, and King Bei had never responded to the banquet.

"yes!"

"I will obey your order!" The ministers clasped their fists in unison.

All of them were wearing brand new and luxurious official uniforms. They looked very energetic. At this moment, they all followed Zhou Jian obediently out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After burning incense to worship the ancestors and comforting the martyrs, it was already noon.

Then Zhou Jian left the palace without stopping, inspected the lives of the people, and with a wave of his hand, distributed a large amount of gold and silver.

It caused a sensation in the whole city. Hundreds of thousands of people shouted long live, which was deafening and full of cohesion!

This shocked the vassal kings and royal relatives who came from all over the country!

In just one year, has His Majesty already gained such prestige among the people?

Some people who held great power could not help but wipe away the cold sweat and quickly put away their little thoughts.

And this was exactly what Zhou Jian wanted.

He directly turned the New Year's Day banquet into a "grand military parade" in order to shock the world and prevent some people with ulterior motives from causing trouble behind his back.

In the afternoon.

The wind and snow temporarily subsided, and a slight warm sun appeared on the horizon. The ancient palace sunk among the snowdrifts and sunshine, which was extremely beautiful.

As usual, Zhou Jian met with some of the feudal officials.

After the meeting, there was nothing else to do except waiting for the banquet to begin.

So, he called out many of his confidantes in the palace to take a walk in the early winter snow and have a snowball fight.

"Ah!" Qin Huairou exclaimed, then smiled and said: "Sister Lu, I am going to hit you too!"

With that said, she rushed forward.

Suddenly, Lu Nanwei, Lu Ying, Shangguan Wan'er and other girls fled in panic.
Chapter completed!
