Chapter 300 Min's birthday banquet, a shocking conspiracy
The next day was Min Gaochi's eightieth birthday.
At this time, Bai Yutian set off from the palace and prepared to go to Ming Gaochi for his eightieth birthday.
Behind him were groups of forbidden troops, led by Chen Hong and Cao Shan.
"Listen, I broke the cup as a signal. When you hear the sound of the cup breaking, you immediately rush into the Min Mansion to get someone."
Bai Yutian didn't know if Ming Gaochi was prepared, so he planned to test it out.
Kong Ling, the master of the Lingyun Sect, is also hidden among them. Together with Zhao Chuxue and the others, there are four powerful masters behind him. It must be that no matter how powerful Min Gaochi is, he cannot have so many masters.
Today is Min Gaochi’s eightieth birthday, which is both the pinnacle moment and the end moment of his life.
Min Mansion.
Min Gaochi was worthy of being a veteran of three dynasties, with great reputation. His eightieth birthday was so grand and extravagant that half of Tailin City took action.
His eightieth birthday had been prepared a month ago, just to celebrate today.
Before the birthday banquet even started, dignitaries from all walks of life had already arrived at Min's house, bringing various rare treasures to congratulate Min Gaochi.
Ming Gaochi was wearing a big red robe, sitting happily in the center of the hall, his face glowing red.
Although he is not a relative of the emperor, nor is he a highly respected official, he has already received an honor that most people cannot get.
"Prime Minister Yuncheng has arrived! I will give you four volumes of calligraphy written by him."
Yuncheng also received an invitation from Ming Gaochi, and out of courtesy, he also came to attend Ming Gaochi's eightieth birthday.
Although Yuncheng is young, he is still the prime minister of the dynasty. He is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Who dares not to respect him.
In an instant, many people surrounded Yuncheng, flattering and flattering him.
However, when the gifts were called out, these people all looked suspicious.
At a birthday banquet, it is unlucky to openly give birthday gifts bearing the number four.
"Master Min, although I am an official of the first rank, I live a simple life, have a breeze on my sleeves, and don't have much money, so I have to give Master Min the calligraphy written by this junior. I hope Master Min can like it." Yuncheng looked at Min Gaochi with a smile, a sincere expression on his face.
said.
"Haha, no matter how important the gift is, the presence of my nephew has already made this humble house look brighter."
"Moreover, the calligraphy written by the current Prime Minister is so valuable."
"Master Min, I have given you many awards. I am still very young, and I still have a lot to learn from Master Min."
Ming Gaochi and Yuncheng are facing each other tit for tat. They seem to be in harmony, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent.
When Bai Yutian and his party arrived at Min Mansion, the birthday banquet was about to begin.
Upon learning that Bai Yutian was coming in person, Ming Gaochi immediately ignored everything else and hurriedly came out to greet him personally.
Many dignitaries followed, and when they saw Bai Yutian, they were also very surprised.
What a great honor it would be to have the emperor come to celebrate his birthday in person.
Although Ming Gaochi and Bai Yutian were against each other, many people believed that even Bai Yutian would not attack Ming Gaochi easily.
Bai Yutian's arrival undoubtedly increased Min Gaochi's reputation. He welcomed Bai Yutian with a smile on his face and entered the Min Mansion with Bai Yutian.
However, he was very uneasy inside.
He didn't expect that Bai Yutian would actually come to his birthday banquet.
Originally, he just wanted to control the powerful people in Tailin City and open the city gate, but now that Bai Yutian came in person, it made him flinch a little.
However, Ming Gaochi then thought about the fact that he still had the evidence of his crime in his hands, as well as the future status of his family, and his eyes became firm again.
Inviting Bai Yutian into the house, Min Gaochi personally brought Bai Yutian to the forefront.
Originally, although Bai Yutian was the emperor, today was Ming Gaochi's birthday, so he should be in the first place.
He originally thought that Bai Yutian would give way, but unexpectedly, Bai Yutian actually sat on him, not giving Ming Gaochi any mercy at all.
The corner of Ming Gaochi's mouth twitched, but he still held it back.
The birthday banquet began, and everyone quickly exchanged glasses and talked freely.
Bai Yutian picked up the wine glass in front of him, but did not drink it.
He tilted his head and stared at Min Gaochi, "Min Aiqing."
When Ming Gaochi heard Bai Yutian calling him, he quickly put down his wine glass and respectfully replied: "I'm here."
"How many years have you been in office?"
"It has been sixty-two years." Ming Gaochi replied.
He entered the imperial court as an official at the age of eighteen and has been serving for more than sixty years now. He can be said to be the senior among seniors.
When Gu Taizhong was involved in the government affairs, almost half of the people in the court belonged to him.
Nearly 70% of the people in the entire imperial court are talents promoted by Ming Gaochi. In terms of qualifications, he is more powerful than Gu Taizhong.
If Tailin had not been the headquarters of the Gu family, I am afraid that Gu Taizhong might not be able to defeat Ming Gaochi.
"Then what do you think of me? How do I compare to the two former emperors?" Bai Yutian asked immediately.
Min Gaochi hesitated for a moment and then laughed softly, "Your Majesty, your ability and prestige are far beyond the comparison of the two previous emperors."
"During your reign, you conquered the Shan slaves, quelled the drought, stabilized the world, worked diligently on government affairs, and personally performed your duties. Your majesty is a sage, and you are truly a blessing to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
At the end of his speech, Ming Gaochi bowed and bowed.
Ming Gaochi's statement immediately received many echoes.
Most of them also strongly support Bai Yutian, believing that Bai Yutian is the master of ZTE and can bring Dazhou to another level.
Although half of the country in Zhou Dynasty has fallen, they are confident that Bai Yutian can lead them to take back all the territory.
Min Gaochi's words made Bai Yutian think deeply and smile bitterly.
"What a pity, Min Gaochi, it would be great if you were a loyal minister!" Bai Yutian lowered his head and said to himself.
He wanted to drink, but he really didn't feel like it, so he didn't drink.
Bai Yutian didn't notice that Ming Gaochi suddenly shed a cold sweat, his pupils opened sharply, and his whole body trembled slightly.
He was terrified, wondering if his conversation with the man in black had been known to others.
Then wouldn't his plan fail?
Moreover, when the time comes, he will be punished for treason, implicating the nine tribes.
Bai Yutian ignored Ming Gaochi's expression and continued: "You have made a lot of contributions in the past, assisting three emperors. If it is not too much, I intend to let you die a good death."
"But why do you do this?"
Bai Yutian's tone was full of hatred, which made Min Gaochi's face turn blue and white in turns, which made him look very ugly.
He was already convinced that Bai Yutian knew about his affair with the man in black.
Bai Yutian picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it down in one gulp. Then he broke the wine glass and let the imperial army rush into Min Mansion to arrest people, but he heard a huge roar.
Ming Gaochi stood up with a livid face, startling everyone.
"Your Majesty, in this case, I won't hide it anymore. I was forced to do it."
Now that he was discovered, Ming Gaochi decided to start planning in advance without stopping.
