Great Sui Dynasty

"Welcome to the prince and concubine!" When Yang Hao and Yin Mingyue arrived at Dianjiangtai, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing led a group of civil and military officials who had already lined up to greet them.This time the banquet is held on the general stage. Of course, those who are qualified to be on stage are some big bosses, and the following are some officers and soldiers. Of course, not all soldiers are eligible to participate in the banquet. Otherwise, the entire barracks would be 20. Dajun, how much do you have to eat? !Therefore, only military generals at the first level of captain are eligible. This is also to give incentives to those soldiers. If you want to be eligible to participate in this kind of banquet, then you have to work hard!Although only those at the rank of lieutenant are eligible, there are at least a few hundred generals at the rank of lieutenant in the 20-strong army, so the ostentation of this banquet is not too small.

"Okay, let's all go to the table!" Yang Yan glanced over, and the main bosses were all there, as well as some officials from Licheng and representatives from various counties who came to congratulate. I don't know how much I will waste in the open-air banquet.

"My lord, please say a few words!" Seeing that everyone had already sat down, Fang Xuanling asked Yang Hao to speak, this link is indispensable.

"Today is my king's big wedding, I don't want to spend so much money! However, this king once promised some soldiers to participate in this king's wedding, so I can't break my promise! Today is a day of great joy, so I won't say much Alright, today the army can’t stop drinking, just this one time, but you can’t get drunk!” Yang Hao didn’t want to make any long speeches, after all, everyone was waiting for him hungry, even if everyone didn’t have any opinions, Yang Hao still didn’t want to do that.After all, this is a banquet, not a reprimand meeting. It is completely unnecessary and inappropriate to say too much. It is impossible to know how many soldiers will be happy just by saying that you can't stop drinking today.

Sure enough, the soldiers below cheered. It's a rule that you can't drink alcohol in the army, and there are only one or two days off in January. The wine for King Qi's wedding is probably only once in a lifetime.

After Yang Hao finished speaking, the banquet officially began. Because it was a wedding banquet wine, there were not such strict rules, so Yang Hao became the object of toasting for all civil and military officials, but Yang Hao had long been on guard against this situation. The first glass was wine, and the rest of the flagon was water. It was impossible to be an amiable prince without paying some price.In the Sui Dynasty, there were no square tables or round tables, only relatively short tables, so it was impossible to count people around to eat and drink, which left a gap for Yang Hao to sit down. Of course, the first cup must be It's wine.

"Report to the lord! A father-in-law came from outside the barracks, he said he came from Jiangdu, and came to read out His Majesty's will." When everyone was enjoying their meal, a Yuanmen soldier came to report.

"My lord! This~" Fang Xuanling didn't expect that Yang Guang's efficiency was not low, so he sent someone here so soon, and it was almost dark.

"Go burn incense and get ready!" Since they are all here, they can't be turned away, right?And this gift is indispensable.

"The imperial decree has arrived, please King Qi and Princess Qi accept the decree!" As soon as the incense burner was set up, before the wine table was removed, a voice came from afar.

"My son, lead the civil and military forces of Licheng to welcome the decree!" As he said that, he was about to kneel.

"Your Majesty, please stand up. Your Majesty said that you don't need to salute when you are married!" The eunuch saw that Yang Hao was about to kneel, so he hurriedly stopped him. If the other princes and grandchildren received the imperial edict, they would definitely kneel. It just depends on the meaning of the messenger.But other civil and military officials are inevitable.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Today there is Yin Mingyue, the daughter of General Zuo Yiwei, who is virtuous and virtuous. She is actually the good match of the king of Qi. Now the king of Qi is married to her. Into the score! I reward a thousand taels of gold, a thousand pearls, a pair of coral jade, and a thousand bolts of silk and satin. I specially designate the master of Yin as the Duke of Lu, and I honor this!" After the decree eunuch said a series of words, Yang Hao except Apart from giving Yin Mingyue the title of Concubine Qi and Yin Shishi being proclaimed Duke, there is not much substance in the imperial decree.

"Your servant accepts the decree, thank you father and emperor for your kindness!" Yang Wei took the imperial decree respectfully and handed it to Fang Xuanling to keep.

"I wish the prince and concubine a great marriage!" The eunuch, who was arrogant just now, became obsequious in a blink of an eye. There was no way, it was because he replaced the emperor just now, but now he is not even a fart in front of Yang Hao , so I had to change back to a slave.

"My father-in-law has worked hard. My father-in-law came from a long way to convey my father's will to this king. If you don't mind, sit down and drink a cup of this king's wedding bar." Yang Hao was not as domineering as the eunuch thought in his heart. Friendly look.

"Thank you, my lord! If that's the case, then the slave will be bothering you!" The eunuch hurriedly bent over 120 degrees.

"By the way, I have one more thing to tell the lord. Because Jiangdu's status quo is not rich, the thousand taels of gold mentioned in the imperial decree are actually less than 300 taels, and the thousand pearls are only more than two hundred. One piece, but there is not a lot of silk and satin." The eunuch said cautiously, fearing that Yang Hao would be unhappy, and he would have a hard time.

"It doesn't matter! Father-in-law's expenses in Jiangdu are quite large, and these can be freed from rewards, but since the rewards are only given, then this king can't ignore father-in-law's good intentions, but this king wants to ask father-in-law to take half of the money." The last time I went back, it was just a little kindness from this king!" Yang Hao knew how Yang Guang's life was going, and what kind of day it should be, but he didn't know that he was no longer the emperor who was rich in the world. The eunuch took half of the reward back, not really for Yang Guang, but it could also be regarded as a reward for those who came with him, or it was used to bribe people.

"Your Majesty is really a virtuous king. Your Majesty will be very happy to know!" How could the eunuch fail to understand what Yang Hao meant, and hurriedly flattered him.

"By the way, my lord, here is a letter that Pei Ju accompanied the old lord to ask the slave to hand over to the lord. Mr. Pei also asked the servant to tell the lord that His Majesty has not been in court for more than a month. With full control, even the army is basically under his control, leaving only a part of General Hu'er's troops. I hope the prince can be prepared!" The eunuch took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Hao. If he secretly expressed that he would benefit him, then he probably would not hand over Pei Ju's letter to Yang Hao. After all, as long as he goes back and tells Pei Ju that the letter has been handed over, no one will know, and the following paragraph will not It was Pei Ju who said it. If Pei Ju wanted the eunuch to tell him these things, then he wouldn't write another letter.

"Okay! Come here, add another table, the banquet continues!"
