Chapter 343 Family Training, Challenge! (2)
"That's all." Yun Shuo smiled and said: "I will always have something to do, you are bored in the palace alone, it is good to have a few children to relieve boredom together."

Han Qian smiled and took Yun Shuo's arm: "Thank you, Brother Emperor, for your understanding!"

"Okay, let's eat." Yun Shuo patted the back of Han Qian's head.

At the beginning of the new year, there are no major events in the first month. The only major event at present is the state banquet on Yuan Ye.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the King of Siam arrived in Beijing. Shao Xilan, Minister of Rites, went outside the city to greet him on behalf of the Dayun Dynasty, and then sent the King of Siam to take over at the posthouse in the capital.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the King of Siam entered the palace to meet Emperor Dayun. Yun Shuo took Han Qian to meet the King of Siam in the Hall of Taiji and gave him a royal banquet.

At the end of the afternoon, the Uighur king also arrived at the west gate, and Shao Xilan took people to the west gate to greet him, and invited the Uighur king to enter the imperial capital and settle in the imperial post.

When it was dark, the King of Northern Mongolia also arrived in front of the northern gate of the imperial capital. Shao Xilan, who had just settled down for the Uighur King, brought people to greet him in front of the northern gate. Coming out of the Imperial Capital Inn at [-]:[-] in the middle of the night, looking at the stars in the cold night sky, Mr. Shao took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and sighed heavily.

"My lord, thank you for your hard work." A doctor in the Ministry of Rites cupped his hands.

"Oh! No hard work! Besides, for the sake of the court, hard work is deserved." Shao Xilan waved his hand, glanced at the chief officials of the Ministry of Rituals in front of him, and said: "The state banquet on the Shangyuan Festival is our long live Lord's ascension to the throne." The most important event since then, if it is done well, everyone has contributed. If it is not done well, it is not just as simple as being dismissed from office. So it is still the same sentence, the old man said it hundreds of times, maybe everyone has heard it. It's a cocoon, but the old man still wants to say: Please pay more attention to this grand event. We don't seek merit, but no fault! No fault, these two words sound simple, but it is not easy at all to do it. "

As he said that, Shao Xilan suddenly cupped his hands towards the several subordinates in front of him: "Everyone, please put away the petty fights in the past for now, and let the entire Ministry of Rituals work together to hold this state banquet well. After passing this level, things will be easy to talk about in the future. I will ask my colleagues here!"

It has to be said that Shao Xilan, an old guy, has his own way in officialdom, when he is ruthless, he is ruthless, when he is soft, he is soft.He can afford to be a hooligan, and he can also play his own mother. No matter what, he has a way to make fun of this group of people in the Ministry of Rites.

These untouching words coupled with a deep bow made all the officials in front of them unable to hold back, and they all bowed in response: "Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best to handle this job well." .”

"Okay, everyone, the old man is going back first, everyone please go back early. Let's meet at the Ministry of Rites tomorrow morning." Shao Xilan bowed to everyone again, turned and got into her official sedan chair.

Back home at night, Shao Juanwen, who had already received an errand in the household department, was still waiting in the study.After Shao Xilan entered the door, he changed his clothes and washed his hands. Shao Juanwen personally served a bowl of ginseng soup. Seeing his father finished drinking, he quickly took the empty bowl with both hands, and sighed softly: "Father really worked hard today!"

"Oh!" Shao Xilan sighed deeply, "It's not all hard work, it's not all for this family."

Shao Juanwen hurriedly bowed his head and said, "My son is incompetent and cannot share his father's worries."

"It's not that you're incompetent, it's that my Shao family's luck hasn't come yet!" Shao Xilan twisted her gray beard and sighed, "How's your job in the household department?"

"My son is only in charge of checking the taxes of some small merchants and peddlers. They are all insignificant things." Shao Juanwen said, and then snorted in great dissatisfaction: "The household department is the one with the surname Yao who has the final say, those big and important things The son couldn't get in at all."

"Take your time, you are still young, the best thing for you to do now is to hide your strength and bide your time, understand?" Shao Xilan urged in a deep voice.

"Yes. Father's teaching, my son will keep it in mind." Shao Juanwen stretched out his hands to help Shao Xilan get up, and walked slowly to the low couch under the window, asking in a low voice: "Father, my son is unclear about something. Ask your father to teach you."

"Say." Shao Xilan leaned on the couch slowly, raising her hand to beat her sore old leg.

Shao Juanwen was half-kneeling on the footrest and stretched out his hand to help his father beat his leg, and asked again: "The state banquet at Shangyuan Ye was originally hosted by the Fengzhang Palace, and it was not my father's main responsibility. Are you humbled by those officials?"

"You! You are so stupid." Shao Xilan sneered, "Who is that in Fengzhang Hall? It's the Empress!"

"However, the empress disdained our family at all, and harmed our two daughters. Speaking of which, we are enemies with her." Shao Juanwen said angrily.

This is a good point. The matter of Shao Suwen must be attributed to Han Qian. In addition, there is a daughter of the Shao family who once participated in the first beauty pageant of Emperor Qingping, but unfortunately, there was a rat plague in the beauty pageant palace. The daughter of the Shao family was frightened by rats and became mentally disturbed. She was raised in the National Medical Center for more than half a year, and was later judged to be intermittently insane.

Another girl from the Shao family is now raised in the Shao family's other hospital. She usually has no special symptoms like ordinary people. She eats and drinks when she needs to.But she couldn’t see furry things, not only mice, but even cats, dogs and other small animals ran up to her, she would be so frightened that she jumped three feet high, crying and laughing, shouting and making noises, going crazy, absolutely nothing. No reason at all.

As for the rat disaster that occurred in the imperial palace, the Shao family used their own power to investigate secretly after hearing various official and folk rumors in the imperial capital. From the fact that Han Jianshi's baby brother was arrested, he guessed that this matter had nothing to do with the Han family. It doesn't matter.It's just that it was used by the emperor and passed on as an excuse to deal with Yun Xian.

To sum up, the Han family harmed the two daughters carefully cultivated by the Shao family, and broke the Shao family's father and son's dream of being a royal relative.Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Shao Juanwen to say that the Han family is his family's enemies.

Shao Xilan didn't speak for a long time. Obviously, he recalled the previous events through his son's words.After thinking about it, Fang snorted with a sneer, looked at his son in front of him, and admonished: "In your opinion, if we attack Fengzhangdian through the state banquet, we will destroy my majesty and dignity of Dayun." The face of the emperor, in the end, who will the emperor cast this fire on? Do you think the emperor will lose his queen because of this?"

"Uh..." A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Shao Juanwen's head. He knew very well that the emperor and the empress were newlyweds. They had only been married for two months, and it was time for honey to be mixed.

Furthermore, the empress is young, only 15 years old after the new year. Even if something goes wrong with her for such a big state banquet, the emperor will never blame her, not to mention that there is the Han family behind her... However, the state banquet If something goes wrong and the emperor loses face, this fire will definitely not be kept in his heart. In the end, the Ministry of Rites may become a punching bag.
