Gourmets of the Heavens - Chapter 850 Qionglin Society
“Wake up in the painting hall in the morning, come to report the snowfall.”
“Look at Jiarui with the high rolling curtain, and the bright color is far away from the courtyard.”
“The light of the air attracts the smoke from the furnace, and the jade pendant grows in the cold plain grass.”
“It should be the celestial beings who got drunk and smashed the white clouds.”
The tune of Qingpingle was sung in this restaurant, and there was a burst of shouting from the audience, while in the Accord, a few big men in ordinary clothes but with an unapproachable demeanor echoed the tune and clapped their hands from time to time, In fact, it is still discussing a matter that was suddenly settled recently.
The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs, one is in charge of affairs and the other is in charge of money, and they usually don’t get together, but they didn’t expect that today they, the servants, would have to meet in private first to set the tone.
Otherwise, other officials don’t know what to do.
After all, His Majesty’s request came too hastily.
“The Luming Banquet and Qionglin Banquet are all well-established banquets. Scholars who have been named on the gold list will be arranged, and the newly promoted Hanlin will have an audience with His Majesty. By the way, they will see the situation in the palace, as well as other high-ranking officials. There was a collision.”
“However, what kind of Qionglin Qunzhen meeting His Majesty has set for us today in the court hall is unheard of.”
“Have you heard of it, my lords? It would be good to give me a charter.”
The one who spoke helplessly was the servant of the Ministry of Rites, with a clear face and regular features, even the bitterness on his face could not conceal his handsomeness at all.
Although the Ministry of Rites seems to be a yamen with no power, in fact, the assessment of all ministries, except for the Ministry of Rites, is the most stringent.
So in addition to handling various state affairs and etiquette, this servant is also an extremely busy official.
“True group meeting”
This time, they were all invited by the Minister of Rites to participate in this tea party. Of course, there were also two ministers present, so they all knew what happened in the court today, and the servant of the Ministry of Rites really asked them.
Even now, they don’t know what the ‘Qiong Lin Qun Zhenhui’ is, and they don’t know how to run errands, even if it’s just a rich family, they will be punished, let alone working for the emperor, dismissal is considered good Yes, if His Majesty is offended, it will be really miserable.
So now no one dares to say anything casually, if it is self-defeating, it will implicate myself.
However, the minister of the Ministry of Rites is not easy to get along with.
“Why? Don’t you adults know?”
“Then the next official has no choice but to write a letter to the sage, who has little talent and learning. Even if the position of the servant is pushed, he will also let the sage!”
No one thought that just now, the Minister of Rituals would start playing tricks, but everyone still had to be afraid of him.
The position of Minister of Rites is certainly eye-catching, but it also depends on who can take it.
Ordinary people can’t sit in this place, but this person is outstanding in terms of knowledge, reputation, and personality. If he can’t handle this trivial matter, His Majesty will naturally not let him lose his official position. At most, he will be fined for a few months’ salary, but If these people present were pushed up by him, there would be no hope of getting down.
At that time, if the matter is not handled well, it will be caught in His Majesty’s eyes, and the image of incompetent affairs will be left behind, then the future is really boundless.
“You rascal, have you started cheating on the ground before drinking the tea?”
However, there were those present who were not afraid of the Minister of Rites, and pointed at him and laughed and scolded him, not really annoyed by his words.
Instead, they had a tacit understanding long ago, one was a bad face and the other was a bad face, and the matter must be settled first.
Since it has the name of Qionglin, it is definitely right to prepare according to the specifications of the Qionglin Banquet, but it must be done properly.
How can you be rewarded just by doing things according to your wishes? The people below have to make things comprehensive, this is the last word.
“My lords are all people with amazing talents and learning, so let me tell you, what is the true meaning of this group of people?”
“We should also be prepared in our hearts, what kind of person His Majesty is going to receive.”
The servant of the household department opened his mouth and looked around, knowing that those who can enter the two departments will not be mediocre, even if there is mediocrity, they have been honed over the years.
What’s more, how many people are really mediocre who can pass the title of the gold list and win the Jinshi?
Not to mention outstanding literary talents, practical talents must also be selected, otherwise there will be no chance to join the six departments. Most of them will enter the Imperial Academy and become a noble civil servant in the future.
“Golden Hall of Qunzhen Dynasty. Zuiliuxia Qionglin Banquet.”
“I’ve heard of the top Feixia Pei from afar, and I suspect that it’s the true worship of jade (liu).”
It has to be said that among the several officials present there were really knowledgeable ones, and they quickly recited two poems that were somewhat related to Qunzhen.
Those present are all people who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, how could they not understand what they mean?
“What do you mean, His Majesty wants to entertain those real practitioners?”
“But His Majesty is not the most”
The Minister of Rites and the Minister of Hubu paused after speaking, and looked at each other without any other thoughts.
“Since this is the case, let us set the tone first, how to arrange this Qionglin Qunzhen banquet, so as not to lose the dignity of the country!”
After all, they were all members of one party. After realizing the hidden meaning behind it, the two of them directly began to discuss the details of how to arrange the banquet, how much money should be spent, and should not be extravagant and wasteful. Various items were given the regulations one by one.
As for the details, it is natural that the subordinates will continue to discuss. Anyway, according to His Majesty’s wishes, the Qionglin Qunzhen Banquet will be held in the Yin Palace in three days, and other matters will naturally be arranged by the subordinates.
Some things about the new emperor of Jin Dynasty in the court did not cause much disturbance. After all, the new emperor is still young, and it is not surprising that he occasionally has some fun or unexpected things.
What’s more, it’s not the first time he’s done this, and it’s just for a banquet. Everyone just pretends that His Majesty is tired and wants to relax, and no one thinks there’s anything wrong.
On the contrary, the Clan Mansion, which manages the royal family, and Jiantiansi, which controls the extraordinary power of the Great Jin, have always been extremely nervous.
From time to time, they communicated, and even entered the Yin Palace early, and arranged many careful arrangements.
Fortunately, the Yin Palace was already heavily guarded, which was a blessing in misfortune.
No one thought that His Majesty would suddenly want to meet those practitioners outside the palace. After all, they are all existences who have mastered extraordinary power. They are arrogant, and it is foreseeable that they will not accept Wang Hua.
At that time, if something happens and the body of the saint is injured, then the real big troubles will continue.
So even the new emperor’s old father-in-law, Prince Yin, was also very troubled by the new emperor’s willful behavior.
“Fortunately, he was interviewed in my Prince Yin’s mansion, so it’s not outrageous.”
The gray-haired, old but not weak King Yin’s eyes shone brightly.
With a shout, the people in a certain manor outside the capital started to move immediately.
However, within half a day, some people with rucksacks on their backs, whose auras should not be entered by strangers, all came to the outside of Prince Yin’s mansion.
Standing still quietly, only after the steward in the mansion quickly opened the door, did the sound come out.
Walking and gaining a foothold, you can see a little bit of majesty!
