The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 72 Palace Night Banquet ([-])

Yuan Feng's proactive overtures to him made He Jin feel the hope of being accepted by the nobles.

But He Jin is not stupid. He was able to get into this position because of his keen sense of the direction of the court wind.

The Yuan family in Runan suddenly showed favor to him, mainly because the one in the north was getting more and more powerful.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

The growth of clan power will inevitably shrink the power in the hands of the nobles. Therefore, the nobles need to find new allies, and he can only choose between his relatives and eunuchs, but in fact he has no choice but to choose himself.

Eunuchs are the emperor's slaves, and the relationship between the King of Hejian and the emperor is destined to only side with the emperor.

Among the relatives, Dong Cheng is the uncle of the King of Hejian, so it is impossible to win over him. Only he, a newly promoted relative and the mother of the queen, is worthy of Yuan's win over.

He Jin shook the wine bottle in his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It turns out that what they are interested in is my identity as a queen, and I still take advantage of my sister."

"Right now, I'm not that powerful, but just wait for me. When one day I take over the power, I want you nobles to kneel down and lick me!"

He Jin secretly swore in his heart.

Different from the Chongde Hall in the main hall, the Zhangde Hall in the side hall is filled with family members of officials.

Sitting on the main seat were Queen Mother Dong and the new Queen He.

To be honest, Empress Dowager Dong really didn't like Queen He, mainly because He had a poor background and was looked down upon by others. However, she was very beautiful and knew how to please the emperor. Therefore, no matter how unhappy she was, she could only endure it.

When the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, Xiao Huang's gatekeeper informed everyone about the great victory in Bingzhou, and at the same time, he respectfully handed the family letter from Bingzhou to the Queen Mother.

Even people who don't understand military affairs know that Bingzhou won a great victory this time and eliminated twice as many enemies.

This exciting news once again pushed the banquet atmosphere to a climax.

The two most distinguished women of the Han Dynasty sitting at the main seat had the same expressions of joy, but had different thoughts.

Empress Dowager Dong was very pleased that her son had made such a great achievement, but she was more worried about her son's safety. The war was dangerous, not to mention fighting against ferocious aliens. How could Empress Dowager Dong not care about her little son.

"I haven't been around the Ai family since I was a child. I have gone crazy and ran to Bingzhou to fight with foreign tribes all the way away."

After reading the letter from her youngest son, Empress Dowager Dong cursed, but everyone could see the smile in her eyes. Her son had grown up and had become more capable. Empress Dowager Dong was very proud of having achieved such great achievements.

There are few mentions of the war in the family letters, but more of a report on the past four years of his mother and brother and his own current situation, to reassure his family, and an apology for not being able to return to Luoyang for reunion because he had just experienced the war.

"You are not unfilial. You are in heaven and you can't help yourself. Taking care of yourself is the greatest filial piety."

Empress Dowager Dong looked at the silk fabric over and over again and said to herself.

As for the other Queen He on the main seat, although she looked happy, she was very nervous in her heart. After this battle, King Hejian will be incomparable to both His Majesty and the big man.

Through hard work, she became the queen, and her son changed from the eldest son to the eldest son. But if she wanted her son to sit in that position, she would need the help of the previous dynasty.

However, he still knows how much his brother weighs. If he wants his son to secure his position, he must get the support of King Hejian. He is your majesty's most trusted clan member. Now he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. In the future, No matter who wants to sit in that position, he must get the consent of the King of Hejian.

However, the prince did not show much affection towards her. Queen He was so confused that she could only try to show her kindness. She did not ask to stand on her side, but hoped that Bian'er would not stand on her side when he inherited the throne in the future. Come out and object.

Then, Queen He glanced at the swollen belly of a beauty sitting next to her. Beauty Wang, who looked younger than herself and had a more voluptuous figure than herself, was now pregnant with Liujia. "She is really a foxy girl who knows how to seduce His Majesty."

Queen He thought to herself, "If it's a girl, I'll protect you forever, but if it's a boy, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Only one person can sit in that seat, and it can only be my son.

Kneeling under the seat were the female family members of the imperial ministers.

One of the girls has eyes as clear as autumn water, skin as smooth as jade, and black hair that reaches her waist, showing an innocent beauty.Although her appearance has not yet fully grown, it is enough for people to see her future beauty. There is a charming intelligence between her brows, which is the perfect combination of her unfaded innocence and nascent charm.

Cai Yan, as the female representative of the Cai family in Chenliuyu (yǔ) County and the daughter of Yilang Cai Yong, attended the New Year's Eve banquet and fell into memories while looking at the sorghum in the palace.

Liu Han, King of Hejian, General of Zhenbei, that person who seemed to have nothing to do with him, was the savior of himself, his father, and his sister. Although he was young at the time, Cai Yan remembered it clearly.

Regarding him, Cai Yan often mentioned him to his father. He was a big shot that made his father extremely troubled. He was both appreciative and defensive, and did not want to have too much to do with him.

Cai Yan couldn't figure it out and asked his father, but his father didn't tell him anything.

What Cai Yan learned about Liu Han was that he was a good man who was both civil and military, brave and resourceful, and a good man who defended the Han Dynasty against foreigners.

But, that's all.

How much interaction can such a big shot have with me?
It's ridiculous.

I just hope that he can protect the big man and his father.

"Bold!"

An angry shout interrupted Cai Yan's thoughts, and he saw a member of the first palace yelling at Cai Yan with a sharp voice: "Which family are you from? Why didn't you answer the Queen's question to you?"

It turns out that just now the Queen raised her wine bottle and suggested that everyone drink to the Queen Mother to congratulate the King of Hejian, the Queen Mother and the great man!
However, Cai Yan was distracted and did not raise the wine bottle with him. Such disrespectful behavior naturally made Empress He displeased. A family member of a small civil servant dared to show off in front of her.

That's why the scene just happened.

Only then did Cai Yan come back to his senses and saw that the queen in the main seat looked sulky, and the queen mother didn't look very good either.

Cai Yan quickly left his seat and knelt down in the center of the hall, "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, I was distracted for a moment. It was not intentional. I hope you will forgive me."

"Humph!"

Queen He snorted coldly. She didn't know which family's girl had disturbed the fun of the banquet, "Which family are you a female dependent?"

"I report to the Queen, my daughter is Cai Yan, the daughter of Dongguan Yilang Cai Yong."

"Oh?"

Cai Yong's name, Queen He, has also been heard, but this is not the reason why he can escape guilt.

"As it is"

"Wait!"
