Chapter two hundred and eighty first banquet in the palace
"But it can't?" Ye Wenhao's voice became much weaker. From childhood to adulthood, he had been used to listening to Long Yu, but Ye Wenhao still couldn't accept this matter. {Swallow} Long Yu couldn't help but sigh, even
Ye Wenhao, who has been instilled with a lot of experience in his previous life since childhood, cannot accept it. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to let other people accept it? "According to the big brother's words, you don't have to." Yi Shuihan said.
Long Yu nodded and returned: "I didn't say I'll have to do it now. Let's tell you the truth. Grandpa and the others have already decided. As early as ten years or twenty years later, the entire continent will undergo huge changes. First of all, it will be turbulent.
It will be our Xianglong. At that time, when heroes arose in troubled times, I will naturally work hard to realize this belief. I will only ask you, at that time, are you willing to be with me?"
Yi Shuihan smiled slightly and said, "Is this more necessary?" Ye Wenhao patted his chest and said, "If the world is in chaos, I can't even say anything if I even praise you as the emperor~!" "Haha" Long Yu laughed heartily
When you get up, Xianglong will be in chaos sooner or later. Long Yu discovered a shortcoming in Xianglong's system, a fatal shortcoming.
Xianglong is a feudal aristocratic system, that is, unlike the general feudal constitution, it has another parallel aristocratic system, where aristocratic and bureaucratic are integrated, but in fact, aristocratic status is more noble than bureaucratic.
And enjoy more privileges. Secondly, the hereditary nobles all have fiefs. Today, forty percent of the territory of Xianglong has been granted to various nobles. The emperor and the central court have only controlled only 100%.
At the sixty, the nobles have the ability to decide on all matters such as taxation in their own fiefdoms, and even can remove officials sent by the court on their own.
One of the methods that the emperor could check and balance the nobles was the territory conscription order. In fact, if the nobles were really willing, the territory conscription order would be nothing more than a piece of paper. Some nobles even raised a lot of private soldiers in private.
When wars frequently occurred, the empire had to rely on nobles, and nobles could even use wars to become separatist forces.
The biggest nobles under the world were the Long Family in the Northeast. The seven states of the Long Family were almost one-fifth of the land of the Xianglong Empire. In such a situation, if a war broke out, there was almost no need to estimate it.
Someone must have taken the opportunity to do anything, because the Li family has been living in this country for too long.
"What I think is that we must establish a political party, a party that can truly seek benefits for the people, a party that can truly lead Xianglong to glory, and a party that belongs to us~!" Long Yu's eyes flashed in his eyes.
It was full of leaks, and Yi Shuihan was quite excited when he heard this. He stood up from his seat and threw a firm look at Long Yu. Only Ye Wenhao was stunned for a while before he asked stupidly:
Brother, what is this party?”
Long Yu suddenly had a black line on the back of his head. Yi Shuihan curled his lips and shouted: "Brother, beat him up~!" Long Yu rushed up with a scream. The three of them laughed and played together. Who did they?
I didn't expect that the world's largest party that has been famous for thousands of years in later generations was the prototype of their three giants.
"Brother, why do we have to come to this Lao Shi's banquet?" It was not dark on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the sunset was still shining on the horizon. Yi Shuihan, Ye Wenhao, Long Yu, the three of them were wearing noble clothes, with their waists and abdomen.
He sat tightly in the carriage to the palace. As soon as he got on the carriage, Ye Wenhao untied the belt around his waist with great impatient attention. "I said, can you tell me some quality?" Yi Shuihan skipped
He curled his lips and said helplessly. "How much does a pound of quality cost? You can weigh two taels to show me." Ye Wenhao retorted with his big eyes.
"No, red envelopes, one for each person~!" Long Yu suddenly remembered what Yaer told him, took out two red envelopes from his arms and threw them over. Ye Wenhao happily picked them up, and Yi Shuihan also smiled and answered them. "Brother, brother."
, How much did it cost to pack it?" Ye Wenhao took it and then took it away, asking while dismantling it. Long Yu shook his head and returned, "How did I know that it was Yaer's package, I didn't even have it."
"Yeah, you still want red envelopes. Don't you have hundreds of millions of gold coins in your arms? Haha, ten thousand, ten thousand~!" Ye Wenhao pulled out the golden tickets from the red envelope and danced with excitement on his face.
The feelings are beyond words. "Brother, you are so nice. I haven't come back for so many years, and my father has only bought me a thousand. Oh haha, I'll make you rich."
Yi Shuihan is much more subtle than that, and folds the gold tickets and puts them back in his arms. In fact, if you want to talk about this money, Long Yu is not short of it at all. He can give them millions, but everyone is
Don’t care about these things, what you want is the red envelope, which is a lucky draw. The three of them sat in a carriage talking and laughing to attend today’s banquet hosted by the queen. The attendees were all the daughters of the nobles and bureaucrats.
To put it bluntly, it is a blind date meeting to see if there are anyone who can meet each other. Therefore, the young masters attending the meeting range from sixteen to twenty, and the young lady is ranging from fifteen to nineteen, and she is young or
If you are old, you won't get an invitation to this banquet.
It took more than half an hour to get from Long Mansion to the Palace. After chatting for a while, the coachman said respectfully from outside the door: "Young Master, you're here." Long Yu nodded, and the three of them got off the carriage, and there was a eunuch who would greet him.
He stood outside the palace gate and sat on the red-topped little girl in the palace. The three of them walked through the corner gate and headed towards the queen's bedroom.
There are almost dozens of concubines in His Majesty, the three palaces and six courtyards, but there are only three who are most favored. One is the eldest prince's mother Qin, that is, the current queen, and the other is the second prince's mother Su Guifei.
Another one is Concubine Shu who gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor. Among these three, Concubine Shu is the most favored, because the princess that Emperor Xianglong always wanted was born by Concubine Shu.
The princess today, the only princess in Xianglong, is named Princess Zhaoyang, who is only nineteen years old.
"Please to the Queen." As soon as Long Yu entered the door of the banquet hall, he saw the queen sitting in the stairs. The queen was so easy to recognize. She was dressed in the most gorgeous clothes. Therefore, Long Yu's voice was loud.
After asking for advice, Ye Wenhao and Yi Shuihan also followed suit, stood side by side with Long Yu and kowtowed. Then the three of them followed Empress Su, who was sitting on the left of the queen, and Empress Shu who was on the right.
After asking for advice, the queen looked at the three people carefully and kept saying praise. After asking about the age of the three, she arranged the three people in the pre-arranged seats.
Concubine Shu looked at Long Yu, and she had seen him when Long Yu was very young. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the only son of the Long family is so old and he really looks like a handsome talent. It's a pity, but Yang'er Concubine Shu
The Empress sighed in her heart and turned her gaze away. Long Yu had been looking at someone from beginning to end, that was Empress Su. This Concubine Su was the mother of the second prince. When she greeted her, she was no different.
She was lustful and smiled generously. Could it be that she didn't know what happened between the second prince and herself?
This very high-end palace banquet is not as comfortable as Long Yu in his own banquet. Although there are not many rules, how can the three nobles sit on the platform, just like three gods and Buddhas?
Long Yu could even feel someone behind him clamoring with fright.
The layout of this banquet is very particular. A wide avenue in the middle is used for performing singing and dancing. There are seats on both sides of the avenue. There are men on the left and women on the right. There are three rows on the left, and there are almost thirty seats.
The seats were full of people, Long Yu, Ye Wenhao, and Yi Shuihan, sitting in the first three in the first row close to the high platform, because among the young masters who arrived today, the three of them had the highest identities, and as for the opposite one
The woman, Long Yu couldn't see clearly because there was a Saman hanging there. No matter how abnormal Long Yu's vision was, he would not be allowed to penetrate it.
The queen glanced slightly and asked Concubine Shu softly: "Sister, why haven't Yang'er come yet? Could it be that she is afraid that Long Yu will not come?" Concubine Shu smiled awkwardly and returned:
"The Empress is joking. You know that Yang'er girl, you know that it will take more than an hour to dress up. I guess I should be at the gate of the palace now." The Empress smiled. There were too many intrigues in the harem.
The Empress Shu never competes with her. Therefore, compared to other concubines, the Empress likes the Empress the most.
"Oh, to be honest, it's a pity. Look at that child, with beautiful eyes and extraordinary appearance, his aura is really worthy of being a boy from the Long family. He also blames His Majesty for spoiling Yang'er too much. This lifelong event is a matter of life.
How could she let herself take charge? Look..." Concubine Shu was thinking about this and sighed helplessly. The queen also knew the story here. She knew that this gentle-minded sister could not control her at all.
Her baby princess who was spoiled by His Majesty since she was a child will not talk about it now.
Long Yu and the others sat down and waited silly for half an hour. A cup of tea was placed on the table, and no one came to change it. Ye Wenhao had already finished walking, and sat next to Yi Shuihan and stared at him, just knowing this.
What should I do on the occasion? Otherwise, he would have been clamoring for why he wouldn't have started eating yet.
"Princess Zhaoyang is here~!" The eunuch outside the door shouted, and only then did he concentrate everyone's spirits. Long Yu looked at the door calmly. Yi Shuihan first glanced at Long Yu before turning
Overwhelmed, Ye Wenhao still looked at his empty teacup in a daze, thinking in his heart, is it time to serve the food?
"So beautiful..." Many people already exclaimed softly. The princess in palace clothes, a kind of noble character from the emperor's family, was extraordinary. Her smiling lips were reflected in the last ray of setting sun outside the house.
The beauty, momentum, temperament, temperament, appearance are the best. To be honest, this only princess, Princess Zhaoyang, is indeed a peerless beauty. With her identity as a princess, these young men are not amazed.
It's unreasonable.
Long Yu looked at it and lowered her head. Although the princess is beautiful, she is still inferior to Yaer. So far, Long Yu has seen many beautiful women. The reason why she is so calm is that Yaer's appearance still possesses a certain degree.
Yi Shuihan also looked at it and lowered his head. Ye Wenhao simply didn't look at it. The performance of the three of them immediately attracted the attention of the three nobles on the high platform.
