Chapter 407 A simplified feast

7days ago Historical fiction 7
Zhu Gaoxu wanted to lead the army to set out as soon as possible, which seemed a little hasty; but in order to seize the opportunity, he could only give up his perfect preparation.

There is nothing more important than military operations at this time, and many seemingly important things can be put on hold.

But before Zhu Gaoxu left, he still had to meet the King of Shu, and this matter could not be omitted.

After all, the King of Shu was the son of Emperor Taizu, who was in charge of the Sichuan Provincial Administration and the Grandpa, and his grandfather was Guo Zixing, the King of Chuyang, and his reputation was extraordinary.

Zhu Gaoxu was thinking about finding a reason that seemed natural and met the King of Shu for a while.

Unexpectedly, the King of Shu first sent an invitation letter.

Zhu Gaoxu opened it and took a look.

The King of Shu said that the emperor's nephew came to Chengdu and his uncle prepared a family banquet tomorrow to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. There were not many people invited, only the emperor's nephew and the Marquis of Xiping, and the banquet was simple and simple, so I hope I would not refuse.

The uncle and nephew were completely in tune with each other. Zhu Gaoxu was about to meet the King of Shu, so he agreed immediately.

After the sun set, Zhu Gaoxu continued to stay in the middle hall for a while. When he walked out of the door, it was just dark.

Zhu Gaoxu walked under the eaves and met Miaojin, and said: Miaojin came to the wing room, I have something to tell you.

When the two entered the wing room, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Miaojin's narrow robe and the bun on her head, and said: The King of Shu will treat her to the banquet tomorrow. Would Miaojin be willing to go to the banquet with me?

Unexpectedly, Miao Jin frowned and said: If I walk with the King of Han, what identity should I say when I introduce it, and what clothes should I wear?

Just be it.Zhu Gaoxu said, "Miaojin is by my side, no one will make things difficult for you."

Miao Jin whispered: Rumors say that you escaped from the palace by robbing the title of concubine, and it is well known to everyone in the world.Now you took me back and went to such complicated occasions, aren’t you afraid of making the rumors more confirmed?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said: No wonder you are still close to me and have not yet seen it?

He paused and said: People like to talk nonsense, but what people care about the most is themselves, and they don’t really care about other people’s affairs.Miaojin doesn’t have to care too much.

Miao Jin's expression was a little confused.As soon as the two of them fell silent, the room on a winter night seemed particularly quiet, without the noise of summer insects and frogs, nor the voices of people during the day.

Zhu Gaoxusong breathed and sighed: I don’t force you, just don’t want to go.

Miao Jin murmured: If I hadn't been arranged to go to Peking to do that, I might have walked the same path as other women.But now, after several experiences, I feel that getting married and having children doesn’t mean much…

Zhu Gaoxu listened thoughtfully.

Unfortunately, Miaojin came to an abrupt end when she said this, and she said: I'll still not go to the banquet, please forgive me for your sins.I heard that the general Xue Lu once fought with Ji Gang for a female doctrine and almost died; perhaps in the eyes of others, I am no different from that female doctrine, but the man I have made is a higher status.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Miaojin is different from others, you are very unique.

Sure enough, what he said casually made Miao Jin look a little different.She should be someone who is unwilling to follow her.

The woman Xue Lu robbed may have something unusual, but it is unknown.Although Miao Jin said that, she couldn't help asking immediately, "What's the difference between me?"

Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the hazy light of the lantern and looked at her charming eyes that could not be hidden even when she was dressed up. Her skin shone with a goose yellow luster under the fire, reminding him of a tight and smooth touch.

But he could not keep such vulgar words on his lips, so he said gently: I cannot fully comprehend Miaojin's thoughts, and I feel that they are unique.This is probably the case, I can't explain it clearly.

Miao Jin's face turned slightly red and she blurted out: The same is true for Gao Xu.Somehow, I always feel relieved by your side, and I feel better...

Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the good atmosphere and quietly placed his hand on the back of her jade-white hand.

A few days ago, Zhu Gaoxu had just moved into Li Rang's mansion. Li Rang wanted to use his concubine to serve guests, but was rejected. Although Miao Jin was often close and rarely got close to each other, Zhu Gaoxu already felt that ordinary women were chewing wax.

Miao Jin's beautiful eyes looked at the big hand on the back of her hand and whispered: There is also a sense of guilt.

...The next morning, King Zhu Chun of Shu sent the chief secretary to bring Xiang Luo to greet Zhu Gaoxu.Zhu Gaoxu, Mu Sheng and others, went to the Shu Prince's Mansion surrounded by a large number of guards.

Wang Yu and his armored soldiers stayed outside the gatehouse of the royal palace, while Zhao Ping and a group of men wearing commoners wearing swords followed him into the royal palace as followers.

The Shu Palace is located in Chengdu City, but it seems to be a paradise.

That's how it is to be quiet and elegant in the midst of the noise.

There are tall trees on both sides of the road, and carefully tailored gardening is also embellished on all sides, although the vegetation in the palace is also very rich in winter.

The magnificent palaces and exquisite pavilions are hidden in it, looming; there are also the sound of silk and bamboos from afar and the sound of reading from Langlang, making the quiet palace seem unsilent and full of cultural atmosphere.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that this place was more comfortable than his Han King.

The place where the King of Shu was hospitalized was not in the main hall, but in a water pavilion by a wide lake.

Zhu Gaoxu was also the first time he met King Shu Zhu Chun. The King of Shu was 36 years old this year, just one year older than Zhu Gaoxu, and it was also his zodiac year. Now it seems that the King of Shu is indeed a bit unlucky.

Zhu Chun's behavior was elegant and calm, and there was no fear of being afraid of falling into a prisoner.

He also introduced the princess and his son Zhu Yueyao. Today, the prince of Shu did not attend the banquet, but instead, the prince of Huayang County Zhu Yueyao came.

The King of Shu said that the prince was weak and could not have a banquet, and explained the past lightly.

Zhao Ping and others stood outside the water pavilion, with big figures inside.Zhu Gaoxu came alone, but Mu Sheng brought a little girl.

Her name is Sha Yi, the daughter of a chieftain in Jianchang, who was only included in the mansion not long ago.Mu Sheng recommended.

The woman named Sha Yi wore a weird blue base dress, but she made a happy fortune in a very clear Chinese language, saying that she had met the King of Shu, the King of Han, the Princess and the Prince of Huayang.

OK, okay, madam is so polite.The King of Shu said with a smile.

Everyone exchanged greetings and then took the seat.

Zhu Gaoxu pretended to be calm and admired the environment here, thinking it was really OK!

The scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh. You can watch the fish in the water pavilion by standing next to the carved railings and sprinkle some fish food.

A maid wearing a moon-white dress is doing this.

The King of Shu only asked the Prince of Huayang County Zhu Yueyao to participate, and it seemed that everything was negotiable. The King of Shu was very positive. After all, things have become like this, and there is no need to tear the face so ugly.

Now the Shu Prince's Mansion has 20,000 guards, and has been dispersed and reorganized by Zhu Gaoxu, and is preparing to take them to the battlefield in Guizhou.

The escorts of the Shu Palace either rebelled and opened the Chengdu city gate or became bare poles.

Zhu Gaoxu was really not worried about what the King of Shu could do. If they both knew music, that would be great.

Before Zhu Gaoxu came, he had already figured out the foothold for negotiations, hoping that the King of Shu would remain neutral on the surface, so that both sides would leave room for their own side and the King of Shu would also keep his wealth as much as possible; but he had to write a guarantee letter in private, and as long as he did not cause trouble in Sichuan, Zhu Gaoxu would turn a blind eye to his attitude.

Only the Prince of Huayang was a bit difficult to deal with, and the Prince of Shu was actually at the banquet.

When the sun was approaching the sky, the King of Shu gently stroked his palms, and the family banquet immediately became the main topic.

Young and beautiful palace maids in beautiful clothes came one after another, and first served five-cut three soups, and a whole geese, duck, deer, sheep, and suckling pig; then more delicious dishes were placed one by one.

At this time, the entire opera troupe also arrived at the water pavilion, and the musical instruments were ready.

Two nephews, please.You don’t have to be polite. Before drinking, you can take a few bites of vegetables and drink a few sips of warm soup. This will nourish your health.The King of Shu lifted up his chopsticks and said.

Mu Ying is the adopted son of Taizu and is a righteous brother to the King of Shu, so Mu Sheng is also a nephew.

Mu Sheng only took a look and said in a casual tone: This bear paw is a bit rare. Can Sichuan catch a bear?

The King of Shu smiled and said: Spend more silver. Live shrimps from Liaodong can also be eaten. This shrimp is from the Liaodong Sea.My two nephews lived in the south for a long time, and most of them were tired of eating the delicacies, so I specially asked the chef to make some northern dishes to try.

This place looks simple and elegant, but it is unimaginable that it is luxurious and lewd.Zhu Gaoxu showed a self-deprecating expression and said: Someone in the court impeached me for being extravagant. I am really more unfair than Dou E!

The princess covered her mouth and chuckled: There are only a few side dishes, I am afraid of making a laugh.

Zhu Gaoxu said: My uncle is laughing.The emperor's uncle said in the letter that the feast was simple and simple, and I believed it to be true.

The sound of silk and bamboo orchestra gradually sounded, and the actor also walked onto the stage.After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he watched the show sideways.

At this time, the King of Shu said in his voice: Uncle’s particularity is still worse than the emperor’s nephew.

How do you say this?Zhu Gaoxu said in confusion.His expression was unpretentious, and he really felt that the King of Shu was much more particular than himself.

The King of Shu pointed to the troupe that Zhu Gaoxu had just paid attention to and said: Let’s talk about this drama.Can the emperor know where is the most expensive opera troupe with the highest and most priceless style today?

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: I am not very proficient in this.

The King of Shu moved his finger over and pointed at Zhu Gaoxu and said: Isn’t it right at the palace of the emperor’s nephew?Huadan is the prince's favorite concubine, and the play is made by King Ning. This specification and this particularity are the ones who are rich enough to compete with the country, but can they spend money to get it?

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was slightly stunned and laughed: Uncle Emperor is really good at politeness!

The King of Shu did not smile and said seriously: There was a conclusion between the Liyuan, but the emperor's nephew really doesn't know?

Zhu Gaoxu watched the expression of the King of Shu for a moment, and it was not like a joke. He then stroked his hands and smiled: This is the first time I have heard it.

Huh?wrong!It's so strange!Mu Sheng suddenly said nervously.

Zhu Gaoxu and the King of Shu both looked sideways, and saw Mu Sheng frowning tightly, as if he had eaten a piece of dirty food from the delicacy.

Nephew, where is inappropriate?The King of Shu asked immediately.

Everyone followed Mu Sheng's gaze and looked at the stage one after another.
