Chapter 829 A Rare Banquet 1
(Comment subscription and go!)
The couple chatted about their son, which made Tian Yuwen feel at home after a long absence.

It is also because of this that he and Zhuge Ling are so close, because only when he is with Zhuge Ling can he feel at home.

"Unfortunately, the state of Qi is in turmoil now, and the widow spends too little time with your mother and child..." Tian Yuwen said in a low tone.

Zhuge Ling shook his head, but before she could speak, Tian Yuwen continued: "The first king handed over the complete Qi kingdom to the widow, but was manipulated by the widow like this, the widow has no face to see my father!"

After his mother passed away, Tian Yuwen would only say these words in front of Zhuge Ling.

At this time, Zhuge Ling didn't know what to say, so she could only get closer to her husband, and then grabbed his palm tightly.

It is reasonable to say that this is not in line with the etiquette system, but at this time no one dares to criticize.

Tian Yuwen's pessimistic mood just showed a little bit, and he was immediately pressed back by him, and his grip on his wife was also slightly loosened.

Then he saw him sitting upright, and asked Zhuge Ling: "I am all right, if Madam is all right, let's go back to the bedroom first!"

Although he is nostalgic for the feeling just now, Tian Yuwen also knows what he should do now, and the gentleness is not what he should enjoy.

But Zhuge Ling came here for something, so she heard her say: "Your Majesty, this concubine is here for something!"

Tian Yuwen couldn't help being stunned, and then he asked: "What else?"

"Your Majesty has worked hard for the country for several months, and has not rested for a long time, so I discussed with all the sisters and held a small banquet in the palace, just to refresh Your Majesty..."

If others persuaded him to have a banquet, Tian Yuwen might not let her go out after finishing speaking, but Zhuge Ling still wanted to show some face.

"Ma'am, Qi State is in a critical moment, how can I have a banquet!" Tian Yuwen said in a deep voice.

But Zhuge Ling put all her heart on Tian Yuwen, at this time she persuaded again: "Your Majesty, it is not true to say that it is a banquet, but it is actually just eating and talking with the sisters!"

Of course, Tian Yuwen was disgusted with participating in the banquet, but if he just had a meal in the harem, it would be easier to accept.

Seeing her husband's intentional expression, Zhuge Ling couldn't help but hit the iron while it was hot: "Your Majesty, there is no end to dealing with state affairs. It's been so long... You should also take a good rest!"

Tian Yuwen's thoughts turned rapidly, and he thought of many things for a while.

"Since we're going to have a banquet, I don't know what Madam is going to do? The widow can leave at that time!" Tian Yuwen said with a smile, and he finally agreed.

Zhuge Ling couldn't help feeling relieved, and finally pulled her husband back, which was tantamount to a success for her.

But when Tian Yuwen asked when he was going to the banquet, Zhuge Ling didn't know how to answer.Because Tian Yuwen, who was not sure whether he would agree, did not start preparing for the banquet.

Now, unlike in the past, in order to squeeze out the expenditure of the army, the palace has already started to reduce the expenses, and such a big event as a banquet will naturally be prepared before it is confirmed.

At this moment, Zhuge Ling could only say: "Your Majesty, this concubine came in a hurry, so I will make preparations as soon as I get back..."

Tian Yuwen showed deep thought, and said after a few breaths: "There is no need to be so hasty, the time for the banquet will be set in three days, and I will let all the civil and military personnel in Linzi gather together!"

After Tian Yuwen said this, the scale of the banquet suddenly doubled several times, and the taste also changed.

Originally, according to Zhuge Ling's plan, this was just a family banquet, but now it has been turned into a political occasion.

Zhuge Ling knew that she couldn't change her husband's decision, and she shouldn't even say anything about it.

So Zhuge Ling said very 'understanding': "I obey!"

Tian Yuwen nodded, he found that Zhuge Ling always made him feel at ease.

"Well... you go back, and the widow will come to see you later!" Tian Yuwen said warmly.

This remark was beyond Zhuge Ling's expectation, although she was the main wife of the harem, Tian Yuwen hadn't entered her bedroom for several months.

Zhuge Ling was happy in her heart, she took this as compensation from her husband, after all, the banquet just now disappointed her.

"The concubine will go back and prepare..."

Tian Yuwen nodded, and said: "You go first!"

After Zhuge Ling left, Tian Yuwen fell into deep thought again, thinking that he should invite those people to the banquet.

The generals will definitely be present, the guards in Linzi need them, and the monarch's invitation to a banquet is a kind of affirmation to them.

The military generals who were able to enter the palace for banquets were more because of their family status, so now Tian Yuwen's direct descendants have not enjoyed such treatment.

After the overthrow of the family, it is time for them to enjoy the feeling of turning over.

Thinking of this, Tian Yuwen decided to let his direct descendants attend the banquet, no matter civil or military.

Of course, in order to unite all the forces in Linzi City, Tian Yuwen will also send invitations to those capable people who have already taken refuge in him.

Tian Yuwen's definition of this banquet is a mobilization meeting before the war. This war is different than before, and it can only be won but not defeated.

While thinking about things in his heart, the pen holder in Tian Yuwen's hand kept shaking, and he wrote out the names one by one.

Ten minutes later, Tian Yuwen had already written down the names of more than [-] people.

He couldn't remember the names of more people, and these thirty people could already represent Qi's civil and military affairs, so Tian Yuwen put down his pen, these people are enough.

"Send someone to inform these courtiers that they will enter the palace for a banquet in three days!" Tian Yuwen said in a deep voice.

The servant next to him carefully picked up the list, saluted Tian Yuwen, and then carefully exited the hall.

Just now Tian Yuwen said that he would not change his armor, because he was going to the harem soon, he had to ask the servants to find his robes.

The night gradually enveloped Linzi, the city was about to fall asleep, and all disputes seemed to have quieted down.

But on the long street, the sound of horseshoes could not stop, disturbing the peaceful night.

Since Linzi was besieged, a curfew system has been strictly enforced in the city. At this time, the only ones who can ride horses on the street are the messengers who came out of the palace.

They obeyed Tian Yuwen's edict and naturally had to carry it out to the letter, so they immediately left the city.

When the doors of each household were knocked open, the ministers who received the invitation from the monarch were all wondering, is it time for a banquet?

And those clansmen who were originally hostile to each other were even more panicked by this. They didn't know what they would face in this banquet.

Could it be that the king's reckoning has come?Some people can't help but have such thoughts.

Zhou mansion, this is the mansion of the Zhou family of the top ten clans in Linzi, but the Zhou mansion looks a bit dilapidated at this time.

This is also a very normal thing. Since the power of the family was wiped out by the Wei Army, the mansions of the rich families who stayed in Linzi lost their financial resources.

Without money, it is naturally difficult to maintain a decent appearance. The servants serving in the mansion have to be cut, and there is no one to maintain it and no money to repair it. The Zhou Mansion gradually became like this.

Of course, it has been ruined like this in just a few months, and it has to be said that there is a bit of deliberate intention in it.

In order to keep a low profile as much as possible, the Zhou family took the initiative to accelerate the ruin of the mansion, which was a way for them to protect themselves.

It's just that no matter how low-key you are, you will eventually be targeted. The Zhou family who received the invitation felt that it was so.

At the beginning, the Zhou family was the vanguard against Ketian Yuwen. Although they were not the strongest among the top ten families, they were definitely the ones who jumped the highest.

Having said so much, the most important thing is that the Zhou family has ghosts in their hearts, who made them secretly collude with Wei Guo.

This made them not want to appear in broad daylight, but the invitation from the monarch brought them into the light.

"Father, shall we go or not?" Zhou Yanfa, the heir of the Zhou family, asked.

His father, Zhou Yuan, the head of the Zhou family, was silent.

Zhou Yuan wanted to convince himself that there was nothing wrong with this banquet, but this is a critical period of cooperation with the people of Wei, and if there is any mistake, the whole family will be wiped out.

"I must go, otherwise, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?" Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice.

But then he said again: "Go for the father, you go to the other courtyard first, if something happens, you run away from the city!"

Zhou Yan wanted to argue a few words, but under his father's stern eyes, he could only swallow his words back.

Now I only hope that this banquet will not attract too much attention from the monarch's secret guards, otherwise it will be really dangerous... Zhou Yuan thought so.
