Chapter 523 palace banquet
Zhao Zhongyu has been in a bad mood since he talked to Zhao Hanzhang. He pulled out a smile and said, “Your uncle is ill, I will let him rest in the room.”
He turned his head to look at his grandson who was standing honestly, and said with hatred: “Darlang, what are you still doing, don’t you even greet your sister when you see it? I said before that I haven’t seen Sanniang for a long time, and I thought to myself. panic.”
Zhao Yi returned to his senses, and hurriedly gave Zhao Hanzhang a bow, “Third sister, it’s been a long time, I don’t know if you’re alright?”
“I’m fine.” Seeing Zhao Yi looking haggard, Zhao Hanzhang looked worried, “Big brother doesn’t look good, is he sick?”
Zhao Yi shook his head, “Just a little frightened, don’t worry.”
Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good, I have a soothing recipe in my hand. I’ll ask Ting He to copy a copy and send it to you. I think it’s good, just eat two.”
Standing behind them, Ji Yuan lifted his eyelids and glanced at the two of them. He sneered in his heart, and even the words in the scene were not as good as their lord, that’s all… hum!
“Sister!” Zhao Erlang rushed into the main hall, trotting up, “I didn’t have a seat!” He wasn’t late!
Zhao Hanzhang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a look of disgust, “As soon as you come back, run around and see how sweaty you are.”
Then he looked at the clothes he was wearing and was slightly surprised, “Whose clothes is this? Why is it so big?”
Xun Xiu came in closely behind Zhao Erlang. Although he didn’t run, he was prone to sweating when he walked quickly. He hurriedly bowed to Zhao Hanzhang and exhaled before saying, “It’s mine, I lent it to Erlang-Jun.”
Zhao Erlang tugged at his sleeve and said, “I said that I should wear armor to go to the palace, but Mr. Xie said no, so I would change my casual clothes. Mr. Xie also disliked the Hu clothes, but I didn’t have a shirt, so General Xun just Lend me a set.”
Zhao Zhongyu said: “Tomorrow I will ask your aunt to make you some sets of clothes, dear son, how can you wear no clothes?”
Zhao Erlang noticed Zhao Zhongyu and Zhao Yi now, he still remembered them, he subconsciously hid behind Zhao Hanzhang and pouted.
Even if he was a general who could kill enemies on the battlefield, he was still subconsciously afraid of them.
Zhao Hanzhang’s eyes were dim, but he patted his arm with a smile on his face, and said to Zhao Zhongyu: “I don’t need to trouble my aunt with some small things, Erlang, you have a bad memory, I’m afraid you don’t remember, this is my uncle and grandfather. , this is eldest brother, see you soon.”
Zhao Erlang cautiously raised his head and glanced at Zhao Hanzhang. Seeing her encouraging eyes, he nodded at him with a smile. He boldly moved out from behind her and saluted.
Xie Shi arrived at this time slowly, with a calm attitude. He and Zhao Erlang entered the palace together, but they were not in a hurry. When he arrived, he first bowed to Zhao Hanzhang, and then glanced at Zhao Erlang, and said to Zhao Hanzhang: “This is Xie’s negligence. When I go back, I will ask Erlang to make a few dresses.”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded with a smile.
Zhao Zhongyu looked at Xie vaguely and asked, “Who is this?”
Zhao Hanzhang introduced Zhao Zhongyu: “This is the teacher I hired for Erlang, Chen Jun Xie Shi.”
was actually from the Xie Clan of Chen County, Zhao Zhongyu’s eyes narrowed slightly and he nodded to him.
An internal servant announced that the emperor and the queen were coming, Zhao Hanzhang let Xie Shi and Zhao Erlang take their seats, and everyone stood in line, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.
Zhao Dalang couldn’t help but raised his head slightly to look at Zhao Erlang. He hadn’t seen him for two years. Zhao Erlang had changed a lot.
He was able to invite the children of the Xie Clan in Chen County as teachers.
Zhao Hanzhang didn’t tell him that Zhao Erlang also had a teacher from the Wang family of Langya.
Zhao Erlang’s keen intuition when fighting on the battlefield, Zhao Dalang noticed him when he saw him.
He also turned his head to look over, and gave him a stern look.
Xie Shi, who was standing beside him, glanced at him, and he immediately stood up honestly.
The emperor and the queen came out together, and everyone bowed and saluted.
The emperor saw that everyone was respectful, he breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his hand: “All the ministers are exempt from the ceremony.”
Looking at the few remaining courtiers, the emperor could not help crying sadly.
In the past, except for some aristocratic families, only officials and nobles above the fourth rank could attend such a state banquet, and the number of accompanying family members was also strictly required.
But now, officials of the sixth rank can appear in this hall, and some family members can also come in. Thinking of the large number of officials and aristocratic families who were taken away by the East Sea King, now those people are in Shi Le’s hands, the emperor’s tears fell. Even more vicious.
“Suddenly suffered a disaster, and the state officials were damaged, this is my fault, although I regret it cannot be redeemed,” the emperor looked at Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi, and asked with tears: “I wonder if the two generals are willing to take Baiguan and the family out of Shi Le’s hands. rescue?”
Zhao Hanzhang subconsciously looked at Gou Xi on the opposite side, and Gou Xi also raised his eyes to look at Zhao Hanzhang. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then said to the emperor, “Your Majesty wishes, I will do my best.”
When the emperor heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his glass quickly and said, “The two generals have worked hard. I will give you a toast first. When the people are rescued, I will definitely ask them to give respect to the two generals.”
Zhao Hanzhang responded with a smile, drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp, and said: “Your Majesty, the fire in Luoyang, most of the north of the city was burned down, and more people fled. This place is no longer suitable for Your Majesty to live.
The people in the hall tensed their backs instantly, and immediately became nervous. Gao Yi, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, asked, “I want to move the capital, but I don’t know where to move it.”
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said, “It depends on your Majesty’s preference.”
The emperor looked at Gou Xi vaguely and asked, “What does General Gou think?”
Gou Xi said: “Your Majesty, Yuncheng is a good city, with smooth waterways, and far from the Xiongnu and Xianbei, it can be the capital.”
Yuncheng was under the rule of Yanzhou.
Keyun City is not far from Langya, there is another Sima Rui, who is the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the emperor wants to move the capital Yuncheng…
Zhao Hanzhang immediately smiled and praised: “This minister also thinks that Yuncheng is good. General Gou is still in charge of the prefect of Qingzhou, and he is familiar with Jizhou. If your majesty moves the capital to Yuncheng, you can safely appease the people.”
Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, “In recent years, the people near Kyoto have been in a state of panic, and people’s hearts have been lost. This is the time when His Majesty needs to appease them.”
The emperor himself was frightened every day, and he had no time to appease the people. If the capital was moved this time, if the environment was safe, it could just appease and buy the hearts of the people.
The emperor understood Zhao Hanzhang’s deep meaning at once, and his originally hesitant heart was firmed up, “Then…”
“Your Majesty, Yuncheng is not suitable,” an old minister raised his hand to stop him, and said, “Yuncheng is to the east, how can you order the world? The minister thinks that apart from Luoyang, only Chang’an and Chenxian are the most suitable capitals. .”
Although his suggestion made Zhao Hanzhang take an arrow in the back, he had to say that his suggestion was extremely correct, especially when he could finish the sentence with Gou Xi’s murderous gaze.
So Zhao Hanzhang asked Zhao Zhongyu who was sitting next in a low voice, “Uncle, who is he?”
Zhao Zhongyu said: “Xiahou Yan is not an official in the court. This time the Huns came to invade, and there were only a few people in his family. He didn’t leave with the King of the East Sea, so His Majesty asked him to escape into the palace to avoid disaster.”
Zhao Hanzhang was overjoyed, not being an official in the court, she decided to see him tomorrow.
