This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 279 Volume [-] Li Yuan's Follower Arrives

Naturally, the banquets held by the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty are different from those held in the Tang Dynasty.

Formal banquets like this in the Tang Dynasty have always been divided into meals, and the host and guest sit on each side, showing importance without being too alienated.

However, the Ming court had dozens of large round tables placed in the venue, which seemed like a feast for later generations.

The reason why Li Chengqian did this was firstly because of convenience, and secondly because he wanted to distinguish himself from Datang.

It is not a good thing for the development of the Ming court to imitate the Tang Dynasty everywhere.

Daming must have its own characteristics, which is extremely important for establishing its own culture.

Culture is not just about literacy, but includes many things.

Of course, this is definitely not something that can be shaped overnight, it needs enough time to settle and adapt.

It's just time, Li Chengqian has plenty of time to spend.

At this moment, everyone sat in small groups and chatted on both sides of the venue.

Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, there is a certain point that is common, and that is the strict distinction between superiority and inferiority. If Li Chengqian, who is the master and the monarch at the same time, has not arrived, then naturally there will be no banquet.

"Take a seat." As soon as Li Chengqian arrived, he waved his hand to signal the beginning of the banquet.

Although it is a big round table, the number of seats is still very particular.

There are very few people who can sit at the main table.

Li Chengqian was naturally the first to bear the brunt, while Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda, who came from afar, were on the left and right.

Qibi He Li and Yi Yuanfeng sat next to them in turn.

Pusiruo and Ihara Xishunzhi, the last one is Changsun Chong.

It stands to reason that Changsun Chong and Yi Yuanfeng are not high enough to sit at the main table.

However, both of them were envoys to welcome the relatives, and the principal and deputy envoys who sent the relatives off were strictly speaking military generals, so there was such an arrangement.

As for the rest of the people, they naturally have their own seating arrangements.

Except for Yuchi Baolin and Liu San, who were in charge of security, almost all the officials of the Ming court in Riyue Mountain came.

It is also strictly in accordance with the order of official ranks.

Of course, their work today is a foil, or in other words, Li Chengqian needs it.

As for Zhuo Ci's furnishings, they are also arranged in such a stepwise and obvious manner as one, two, three, four, five.

And the table on the right of Li Chengqian's main table is Chang Le and others.

Their table, um, is too dark...

There are Chang Le, Wu Mei, Su family, Hou family, Qibi Heli's mother, Pusiruo and others' family members, even Murong Wanqiu is at their table.

If Xiaohua hadn't been sick when she came back, she probably would have appeared at today's dinner.

And on the left side of the main table, there are several ministers headed by Wang Xuance who are responsible for entertaining envoys and officials of similar status.

After that, it was Fang Yiai and the second generation who greeted the others.

"Your Highness, this banquet is quite new, and it is quite different from the banquets I have attended in Chang'an." Fang Yiai said at the table with a Tang etiquette officer.

Fang Yiai heard the words and said directly: "What have you seen, you bumpkin?"

The etiquette officer almost vomited blood, I'm so fucking polite!

You are welcome, do you understand?

As far as your banquet is nondescript, and there are women in the same room, it is also worthy of saying that this official is a bumpkin?
"Second Fang, do you want to make trouble?" The ceremony official stood up immediately.

It's not like he's without heels, that's where the new wife is sleeping, and there's someone up there!

Fang Yiai was about to have a fight with him, Cheng Chuliang tugged at his sleeve, and whispered: "You can take it easy, this is a fucking state banquet!"

He is also speechless, with your broken mouth, don't you know the time and occasion?

Hearing what he said, Fang Yiai waved his hand and said: "Forget it, we don't have the same knowledge as you, and you still don't believe me when you say you are a bumpkin. You will have to admit that you are a bumpkin in a while."

As for the meals of the Ming court, they have never been disappointed.

Li Chengqian tossed out a lot of delicacies in order to tease Changle.

As for the state banquet held by the royal court of the Ming Dynasty, Li Chengqian personally set up the cuisine in order to win some face.

There is no way, the Ming court is really unable to do anything in other aspects for the time being, but when it comes to food, hehe, Fang Yiai feels that it is true that there is no match.

Let alone whether it is delicious or not, the key is shock.

The ceremonial officer didn't say a word, but with Fang Yiai's crap, who doesn't know who?

Moreover, this is Riyue Mountain, and other people set all the rules. If you really want to say something inappropriate, you will be the one who eats the melon, so there is no need.

What mountain to go to, what song to sing, this point, everyone knows the door.

As for generals like Xue Rengui and Puluboqi, it is much more straightforward.

The high-grade baijiu unique to the Ming court has long been prepared.

Men, especially these generals, want face.

Not only do you have to fight to win or lose on the battlefield, but you also can't fall behind at the wine table.

The dishes have not even started to be served, but the wine has already started to drink.

Not long after, the banquet began, and various exquisite dishes were served one by one.

The first main course, char-grilled lamb.

Although Chishuiyuan has suffered successive years of snowstorms and the animal husbandry industry has been hit hard, but for Li Chengqian, eating a few lambs is still no problem.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, this is extremely wasteful.

Little lamb, what a waste to eat.

Too extravagant.

At least many of the officials present had such thoughts.

After all, the royal court of the Ming Dynasty is now in a time of food shortage.

"Come on, try it." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Charcoal-roasted whole lamb, marinate it with secret seasoning for an hour before putting it in the oven, and then use high-quality charcoal to roast it slowly over low heat until the surface is golden, then add Condiments and seasonings are Changle’s favorite in the past..."

Li Chengqian is introducing on one side, while Changle has already started on the other side.

After going to Datang for so long, she was so hungry.

On Fang Yiai's side, although a Tang official didn't say anything, he couldn't help but shook his head.

Fang Lao Er was not used to him, broke off a leg of lamb with his hands, and said carelessly: "On weekdays, even we seldom see this hard dish, hey, Cheng Lao Er, move, others don't appreciate it, we It cannot be wasted."

"Come, come, try them all." Cheng Chuliang said with a smile, "This is only the standard that my Royal Court of Ming Dynasty entertains distinguished guests. You all know that our Royal Court of Ming Dynasty has been short of food in recent years, so I dare not waste it lightly."

Hearing what he said, the officials of Datang felt much more comfortable.

Although it was a bit of a waste, it showed how much the Ming court attached importance to them.

Immediately, they moved their chopsticks one after another.

After taking this bite, everyone's eyes lit up!
Although a bit extravagant, it's really fucking delicious!

Seeing this scene, Fang Yiai laughed out loud.

Li Xiaogong and the others didn't have that much thought. Whether it was the monarch of the Ming court or the prince of the Tang Dynasty, what did they eat and drink?
Slowly, more and more dishes were served. It can only be said that the dishes of the Ming court are indeed second to none.

In this regard, Li Chengqian has a unique advantage.

When an iron plate entrusted on a wooden board was served with a cover, the young people and children on the side of the Daming royal court seemed extraordinarily excited.

As for the others, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, what is this?
And as the lid was opened, a piece of beef was placed on the iron plate, which made everyone even more confused. There was nothing exciting about it.

But with the operation of the servant who served the dishes, the whole iron plate suddenly burst into flames, which shocked those who didn't know.

"Just say that you are a country bumpkin and you are still stubborn, isn't it just one dish? As for what?" Seeing this, Fang Yiai sneered immediately, completely forgetting the time when she was ashamed.

The ceremony officer of the Tang Dynasty was very angry, but he was really speechless, a fire-breathing dish?Where have they seen this before?

The dishes arranged by Li Chengqian are just like this. The workmanship is not difficult, the requirements are not high, and the visual impact is enough.

There is no way, compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Ming court really lacks background, if it is not so different, and dominates in another field, it will make people laugh.

At least, now they have conquered everyone with their dishes, that's enough.

"Didn't you say that there is juice in Riyue Mountain?" Wu Mei asked in a low voice.

With the slow contact, the little guy has become a lot more courageous.

Children, that's it. When you are sad, you cry bitterly, and when you are happy, you are heartless.

Hearing what she said, Changle seemed to have just remembered, with a look of sudden realization: "Yes, yes, why did I forget about this?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, I'm ready." Xia Qing laughed from the side, the little guy was talking about things along the way, how could she forget?
Chang Le immediately smiled and said: "Look, I'll just say yes."

Juice is something that belongs exclusively to Changle, and she is the only one who has a juicer in the entire Ming court.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yiai, who had good ears, got up immediately and said, "Your Highness, can I have a jug of that juice?"

He drank this stuff before, especially the juice with ice, it tastes so comfortable, especially these days.

But since Changle went to Chang'an, he can't mess with this thing anymore.

Changle was a little embarrassed, she didn't know how much Xia Qing had prepared, she looked back at Xia Qing, saw him nodding, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have everything."

The atmosphere of the Ming court is relatively more relaxed. If it were in the Tang Dynasty, even if you lend Fang Yiai a few more courage, he would not dare to do so.

Don't look at Fang Yiai's lack of knowledge, but this kid is really smart.

He knew what Li Chengqian wanted to do, so he cooperated very well.

At the main table, Li Chengqian and the others also laughed.

Regardless of the rules, the atmosphere of the Ming court made everyone feel comfortable and less restrained.

"Your Highness is indeed a young talent, but in just half a year, he has achieved such an achievement, and his subordinates are even more powerful. In the future, the Ming court should be improved to a higher level." Li Xiaogong laughed.

In fact, he also noticed Li Chengqian's intention.

To tell the truth, he was quite appreciative.

If you just want to be the grass head king for a short period of time, Li Chengqian's actions are indeed redundant, but if you consider the problem from a long-term perspective, then everything Li Chengqian does is meaningful.

From this point of view, Li Chengqian is obviously taking the long-term route.

"There is no way to govern, and Uncle Wang laughed at it." Li Chengqian laughed.

At the other table, Lu Dongzan looked envious.

Among other things, the extravagant ostentation of the Ming court was something that Tubo couldn't match.

Of course, the reason why Li Chengqian invited him here was to make him envious, to let him see the prosperity of the Ming court, so that he would confuse more rebel forces to come to the Daming court.

In this way, he will have the opportunity to contain the development of Tubo.

Banquets are undoubtedly the happiest military commanders. Eating meat in a big bowl and drinking heavily is a great joy.

To be honest, generals don't have as many thoughts as civil servants, so after a round of drinking, it's normal to call them brothers and sisters.

And outside the city walls, people were also in high spirits.

Today, the dowry of Datang has become the talk of the big guys after they are full of wine and food.

Countless grains entered Riyue Mountain, which also strengthened the confidence of the people of the Ming court.

It doesn't matter whether the food is given to them or not, the important thing is that it came, it's as simple as that.

After the Daming Royal Court completely controlled the source of Chishui, Riyue Mountain no longer prohibited any members of the Ming Royal Court from migrating there.

Today, Riyue Mountain has developed into a large city with a population of tens of thousands. Of course, this is compared to the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty.

Today, every family is very happy.

The stronger and richer the imperial court of Ming Dynasty was, the longer their stable life would be. Even a three-year-old child would understand this.

Therefore, every family is celebrating today, and they don't know what they are celebrating, they are just happy.

And in Changming Restaurant, Huang Song and others also toasted and drank here.

"Everyone, Li Shilang has already said hello, and it's time for us to set off." Huang Song said, "Now, the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty is in its infancy, and the future is bound to flourish. For us, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Chance."

Everyone nodded, that is indeed the case.

"In that case, let's start tomorrow." Someone suggested, "If you want to go farther than others, you have to go earlier than others."

Huang Song nodded and said: "That's it, let's go north first to make preparations, listen to Li Shilang's wishes, the imperial court will cooperate with us and create the best opportunity for us.

Today, everyone must know that within the palace walls, there must be endless banquets at the moment, and it is a lie to say that you are not envious.

After all, there are our old acquaintances and even the juniors attending the banquet, but we can only sit outside the palace walls and make our own decisions, hey..." Huang Song sighed, "I hope that in the future, King Daming There will be prosperity again, we are not bystanders, but witnesses! "

The crowd nodded.

If people like Li Qinjian were not in front of them, they would not have dared to have such a dream, but it is precisely because of the lessons learned by Li Qinjian and others that they are also a little ready to move.

Crossing classes is extremely difficult in this era, and if they really have such an opportunity, they are willing to fight for it.

And there are many people who also have the same idea as them. They are all in every corner of Riyue Mountain today, and they secretly set up their bold ambitions to break out in the Daming Royal Court.

Maybe some people are just drinking too much and boasting a cowhide that will never be realized, and maybe someone will be desperate for the cowhide they blow off.

None of this matters, what matters is that the seeds have been planted.

Among them, the place where the cowhide blows the loudest is undoubtedly the Changming Restaurant.

No matter in the box or in the hall, everyone was talking about the banquet within the palace walls, and at the same time, they were bragging about all kinds of meritorious deeds.

No one laughed at them, and no one had time to laugh at them, because everyone was the same.

And this is also one of Li Chengqian's goals. You don't really think that he entertained all the officials, big and small, of Riyue Mountain with great fanfare just to accompany the guests, right?
No, at least not only that, he is arousing everyone's desires, and for the time being, he is successful.

As a later generation, how to break a penny into several petals to spend is a compulsory course.

A small banquet was used to the extreme by him.

And just next to Huang Song's box, there was also a group of people sitting.

But they didn't brag like others, but listened carefully to others' bragging.

The people at their table are very interesting. There are old people in their 50s and [-]s, middle-aged people in their thirties, and even teenagers in their teens.

I don’t know how long after listening, the old man sitting at the top said: “Have you all heard it? This is where you will fight hard in the future. Once the emperor and the courtiers, the Tang Dynasty has no soil for us to survive, so, Our family decided to move here.

Back then when my brother died for several days and his body stinks, we still kept it secret, just to fight for opportunities for you.

From now on, whether our family can make a comeback or not depends on you.

Don’t think that you all come from famous families and are young talents, so you look down on these reckless men of the Ming court. If you really want to talk about young talents, who of you can compare with the 13-year-old Ming King who conquered a huge territory with bare hands?

Let go of the airs of the descendants of Yuanmou heroes, here, only if you work harder than others, is the opportunity for Yuanmou heroes to prove themselves to the world again. "

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded silently.

Even though the youngest among them is only ten years old, he still knows the purpose of his coming.

"Duke Ying's daughter is now the Princess of the Ming Dynasty. She has our own people by her side, and we will slowly tell her about her mission. From now on, if you step into the Ming Dynasty, you should know what to do?" the old man continued. Said.

He is the younger brother of Wei Guogong Pei Ji, and since Pei Ji was in danger of rebellion, everyone has been thinking about this retreat.

It just so happened that the two countries were getting married at that time, so they found Li Yuan, and Li Yuan couldn't bear to see his former minister end up in such a state, and he also had some thoughts of his own, so he completely perfected the plan.

This is why Wu Mei married the Ming court before she was ten years old.

"Old Pei, don't worry, we should know the seriousness." Said the young man of more than 20 years.

Mr. Pei nodded and said: "Daming King's Court, it is really a good place. We have been here for a while, traveled to many places, and seen many places. You should know that this piece of land belongs to our great land. Great place to flex your muscles.

A thousand wastes are waiting to be done, and it is the time of employing people. Speaking of it, all these are the best arrangements.

It is the same for me, and it is also the same for that King Ming!

In order for you to successfully gain a foothold in the Daming Royal Court, each family has almost hollowed out their foundations, so don't let everyone's high expectations live up to you.

Whether we, Yuanmou heroes, have a future depends on you. "

"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, we have already made preparations." Everyone said, "Even if we die in battle, we still have to find a future for us after our heroes!"

Even today, they still regard themselves as heroes of Yuanmou...

So, if Li Shimin doesn't deal with them, who will he deal with.

Yuanmou heroes are true, but whose Yuanmou heroes are you?
