Chapter 123 Hongmen Banquet Night Change: The Opening Ceremony of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (2)
When they saw someone dressed in commoners coming to the feast, everyone looked confused.
Why is this Xie Yuan here?
Why isn't he dead yet?
On the high seat, Cui Xunzhi saw Xie Yuan and subconsciously moved.
A hand suddenly came over and pressed her knee.
"Queen, how about I make a bet with you today?" Emperor Taikang approached Cui Xunzhi's ear and said with a smile.
"I don't know how to gamble." Cui Xunzhi said expressionlessly.
"Hey, there's no harm in taking a gamble."
"What is your majesty betting on?"
"Let's bet whether this Xie Situ will choose to bend his knees to me and become my minister obediently, or he will be like that Grand Priest Huan, and will be decapitated in the near future as a traitor to the country."
Cui Hyunzhi's hands under her sleeves were slightly clenched.
Emperor Taikang scratched Cui Xunzhi's tender little face with his stubble, and smiled very happily——
"I bet that he will choose to surrender to me."
Cui Xunzhi did not speak, but stared at Xie Yuan without blinking.
Noticing Cui Xunzhi's gaze, Xie Yuan gave him a relieved look, then looked at Emperor Taikang and bowed warmly: "I have met the prince."
"Xie Yuan, His Majesty has ascended the throne today, how can you address him like this?" An official next to him frowned and asked loudly.
The originally bustling hall fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Xie Yuan.
"May I ask, has the prince ever informed the world?" Xie Yuan asked leisurely.
Everyone was silent.
Maybe not.
"I dare to ask, after the prince ascended the throne, was he included in the ancestral temple?" Xie Yuan asked again.
Everyone was silent again.
It seems... not even.
"I dare to ask, is that national seal real? By using it to announce Jiankang, isn't it a plot to usurp the throne?" Xie Yuan continued to ask.
Everyone: "???"
Wang Defa?
Is the national seal fake?
Doesn’t that mean that this coronation ceremony is a fucking joke?
Wait, if what Xie Yuan said is true, then where is the real national seal?
There was an uproar below, and Emperor Taikang's expression was not much better.
His original smile faded little by little, and he glanced at the waiter next to him.
The chamberlain understood and quickly came back with a seal box, opened it and presented it.
Emperor Taikang looked at it carefully for a moment, and his originally unattractive face completely darkened.
After a moment, he took a deep breath, closed the lid suddenly, and looked at Xie Yuan with a smile——
"So what? This Jin Dynasty is already in my pocket. As long as I say that this seal is the real national seal, then it is the real national seal. My dear friends, is this seal real or fake?
ah?"
Emperor Taikang raised the seal and asked Langxue.
Everyone was silent.
Isn’t this the modern version of calling a deer a horse?
But do they dare to say it? Of course they don’t.
All the courtiers raised stiff smiles and complimented Emperor Taikang, saying that this was the real seal.
Emperor Taikang also knew that he would lose his face after talking too much, so he put away the seal again and looked at Xie Yuan who was standing in the lobby.
"Oh, why is Xie Situ still standing? Please give Xie Situ a seat quickly."
Emperor Taikang asked his attendants to bring a table and asked Xie Yuan to sit directly in the center of the hall, with the dancing girl behind him.
The people watching felt embarrassed, but Xie Yuan sat down calmly and even raised his wine cup to chat with Emperor Taikang.
After a while, Emperor Taikang asked with a smile: "Today, I sent Taizai Lu to go find Xie Situ to discuss something with you. But you rejected him, so I will ask you again today. I intend to worship Xie Situ as the minister. I don't know.
Would you like to thank Situ?"
Everyone was silent and looked at Xie Yuan as if they were watching a good show.
They said, why did His Majesty suddenly invite a low-class boy from a poor family to come to the banquet?
It turned out to be a Hongmen Banquet.
What's so great about Xie Yuan? Huan Feng is vying for him, why is it that even Emperor Taikang is vying for him.
In fact, Emperor Taikang wanted Xie Yuan to be his courtier, not only because he valued his talent, but also because he valued the power of the entire poor family and the Wu gentry behind him.
If he could get it into his hands without any effort, why would he go to great lengths to kill and threaten those people?
If Xie Yuan is disobedient, then I'm sorry, he can only kill the chicken to scare the monkey. This chapter has been completed!
