"Hoo ho ho"

On the wall of the palace, the bonfire was blown this way and that by the north wind!

The golden-armored imperial army is closely watching the situation outside the palace city, and is ready to fight at any time!

The Imperial City tonight is so weird!

If it were normal, if anyone's private army dared to mess around during the curfew, they would be judged as a riot, they would be identified as rebels, and they would be violently suppressed by soldiers and horses inside and outside the imperial capital!

The soldiers and horses of the Imperial City Patrol Army, the Imperial City City Defense Army, and the four military camps outside the Imperial City are by no means "vegetarian."

If the situation becomes urgent, the Forbidden Army will be dispatched!

But after the emperor heard about the crazy performance of the Huangzhou Army, he just sent a message from the Tianxia Palace: "As long as the Huangzhou guards do not attack the imperial city, the rest is up to them!"

As soon as this order came out, the generals at all levels of the Forbidden Army were stunned!

Is the emperor indulging the Huangzhou guards to vent their anger?

Or did the emperor vent his anger through the swords of Huangzhou's guards?

Maybe, both!

After all the family heads entered the Tianxia Palace, the commander of the Imperial Guard personally sat down outside the Tianxia Palace, cross-legged on the ground, put the sword across his legs, closed his eyes, and listened to the news delivered by the Imperial Army's messengers from time to time!

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang, her mother and her son, and the other heads of the five major deacon families also entered the Tianxia Palace!

At this time.

A soldier from the Forbidden Army rushed over with an order: "General, something bad has happened. The guards of Huangzhou attacked the Zhang family and have already entered the Zhang mansion."

The commander of the forbidden army frowned: "Don't worry about it, just pay attention to it!"

At this time, there were several Forbidden Army generals operating outside the Tianxia Palace, acting strangely!

The commander of the imperial army opened his eyes and said: "Let the Zhang family, Liu family, Liu family, Duanmu family, Lin family and other families go back to duty, and don't try to deliver news to Tianxia Palace!"

"Your Majesty will make your own decision regarding tonight's matter!"

"yes!"

The ordering soldiers left in a hurry!

Soon after.

Several Forbidden Army generals had no choice but to leave!

They are unwilling to give up!

Is the emperor condoning the chaos of Huangzhou's personal guards?

What a mess!

The king of Huangzhou is dead and the overall situation tonight has been decided. Why should the emperor embarrass each family because of him?

Is it worth it?

Soon after.

Huangzhou's guards carried Xia Tian's sedan chair and appeared in front of Tianxia Palace: "General, the imperial concubine said that she has seen the prince for the last time, and ordered us to carry it to Tianxia Palace so that your majesty can see the prince for the last time!"

The commander of the forbidden army stood up, stretched out the scabbard in his hand, and wanted to open the sedan curtain to see what was going on inside the sedan!

"General, wait!"

Zangliu, who was guarding the sedan, said: "General, the prince said you'd better not lift the curtain!"

The eyes of the commander of the imperial army brightened!

Sure enough!

He retracted the hilt of the knife and raised the corners of his serious mouth slightly, no longer so serious: "What else did your prince say?"

The corners of the Forbidden Army commander's lips raised even higher: "Then help me ask your prince, is it worth it that he has offended all the wealthy families in the world and will no longer be able to take over the East Palace?"

"worth!"

Zangliu answered without hesitation: "General, there is no need to ask the prince this question, I can answer it for you!"

The commander of the imperial army saluted with his sword: "Then please invite the prince in!"

"Thank you General!"

At this time.

A flash of inspiration flashed in the eyes of the commander of the imperial army, he raised his head and said: "In terms of seniority in the clan, your prince should be called my second uncle, and I will send you in personally!"

Zangliu was a little shocked: "Yes!"

"Also, this general, the second emperor's uncle, was kissed by your prince."

Suddenly, the sedan jolted!

The commander of the Forbidden Army is very satisfied!

at this time.

Inside the Tianxia Palace.

“Bang bang bang”

The sound of guzheng is like mountains and flowing water!

The heads of the families have already sat in their respective seats, enjoying the palace dance and listening to the palace music in a comfortable mood. It feels like this is life!

Without King Huangzhou’s Tianxia Palace, without King Huangzhou’s court, how harmonious the atmosphere would be!

At this time.

Eunuch Wei's voice came from the back of the palace: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Immediately afterwards.

Emperor Xia walked out, followed closely by Sima Jian!

All the family heads quickly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Emperor Xia smiled kindly: "Tonight's palace banquet, there is no need to be polite, just get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"sit!"

"yes!"

The heads of the families sat down and looked at Zuo Xiang Sima Jian, who was sitting first on the left, with gratitude in their eyes!

If the left prime minister had not entered the palace to appease the emperor, perhaps what awaited us tonight would not have been a banquet, but the emperor's anger and weapons!

The Sima family is still the most trustworthy family in the world!

At this time.

After the opening song and dance ended, all the beautiful palace dancers left the stage, leaving all the heads of families looking away with lustful eyes!

The Emperor's Dancer is so beautiful!

Emperor Xia raised his glass and stood up and said: "Family heads, I am touched by the good deeds you have shown in helping the victims of the disaster in the imperial capital in the past few days. I will pay tribute to your kindness with the first glass of wine!"

"Don't dare!"

The heads of the families quickly served the wine and stood up: "We respect your Majesty!"

"Dry!"

Emperor Xia and all the family heads drank it all in one gulp!

While drinking, all the family heads cursed: "If it wasn't for your damn son to force us to be kind, why would you be willing to save those poor people!"

The emperor knew this very well, and he was trying to put money in their faces!

This shows that the emperor is unwilling to fall out with them!

This is good!

All the family heads felt at ease!

Immediately afterwards.

I saw Emperor Xia holding up a second glass of wine and saying: "At the same time, during the financial difficulties of the empire, you have donated money and food to the national treasury in the past few days, which makes me even more gratified. With this second glass of wine, I respectfully express your gratitude to the imperial court."

understanding and support!”

"As His Majesty's subjects, we advance and retreat with the Empire!"

When all the family heads heard this, they felt at ease and said one after another: "We share weal and woe with His Majesty!"

"Dry!"

Emperor Xia drank the second cup with all the family heads.

Then.

Emperor Xia picked up the third glass of wine and said: "It is the winter of the 20th year of Kaiyuan of Great Xia. In the past 20 years, each of your families has dedicated their talents to the court to help me govern the world and save me a lot."
