The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1140 Palace Banquet (Part 1)

This is the first time that the prince is in charge of holding a palace banquet independently, even with the queen helping behind him, he is still too busy.

So he directly asked his younger brothers to help.

Little Xiong and Xiaobao grew up together, and they know each other best, and they have the most tacit understanding. They can do things with half the effort, and Xiaoan is supplementary on the side, and the cooperation efficiency of the three has been greatly improved.

The tiger head and the little lion dragged Qi Wensu around the venue to make trouble. Of course, in their words, they were helping to monitor whether people were doing their best.

Little Bear wanted to throw them out, but Xiao Bao and Xiao An finally stopped them.

Xiao An said with a smile: “Let them make trouble, we will know if there are any deficiencies when we follow them, they are good at filling in the gaps and finding leaks.”

Xiao Bao replied with a smile, “That’s why I brought them here. If it weren’t for the third and fourth brothers who are still young and afraid that they will bump into each other here, I would definitely bring them too.”

You must know that they are the ones who are most likely to cause trouble. If this place can support the toss of these boys, then there should be nothing missing.

With a few big indulgences, the tiger-headed little lion and Qi Wensu ran more happily in the field.

This is the most grand New Year’s Eve palace banquet since the founding of Daqi, not only because Daqi’s treasury is rich, but also because they have recovered a large area of ​​lost land in the north this year. Although there have been occasional disasters in the past two years, it can generally be regarded as a bumper harvest , so civil servants can praise the phrase “the country is peaceful and the people are safe.”

This achievement was achieved in the twelfth year of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, which can be said to be rare in all dynasties, and they are also responsible for this. Therefore, when the ministers of civil and military affairs entered the Jiaotai Hall, they were all beaming and proud .

This time, the palace banquet is still divided into seats. Like the previous dynasty, men and women are not separated. Counting it, this is also a great pioneering work of Emperor Sejong. He established a rule that the palace banquet should be shared by husband and wife, following the Tang system. Therefore, Although the status of women in the previous dynasties was greatly reduced compared with that in the Tang Dynasty, it was not as severe as in the previous Song Dynasty.

As soon as Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran entered the Jiaotai Palace, everyone was watching them, and she was startled by the enthusiasm in their eyes.

Qi Haoran walked ahead without changing his face, and led her to sit down on the first seat on the lower left.

Opposite him is the crown prince, with Fan Zijin at the bottom, and several princes sit on the bottom of the crown prince and Zijin, one on the left and one on the right, and then the left and right ministers representing the officials.

Seeing that Fan Zijin could sit above the prince, all the ministers lamented his favor and whispered that he might be the next prime minister.

Before he could say a few words, the emperor and empress arrived. Qi Haoran hurriedly stood up and knelt to greet him. Mu Yangling knelt beside Qi Haoran, only to hear a voice from above chuckle and say, “Pingshen, today is New Year’s Eve , for the purpose of pleasure, you don’t have to be restrained.”

That is to say, but it may not be all about enjoyment, because the palace banquet is not only enjoyed by the emperor and ministers of Daqi, but also envoys from various countries come to pay their respects.

Nearby are Xixia, Goryeo, Dongying and the Chen Dynasty of Vietnam, and far away are Western countries such as Spain, Portugal, England and France.

Xixia’s civil war is raging fiercely, and this time the envoys will be sent to Qi to remind Daqi of the covenant between them, and hope that Daqi will not take advantage of the danger to attack Xixia.

As for the fact that they sent troops to aid Dajin before, it was attributed to a misunderstanding by Xixia, because they sent troops to help Dajin quell the civil strife. Who knew that they bumped into Daqi’s army by mistake, and fought in a daze.

In order to apologize, Da Jin also brought several carts of gold, silver and jewelry over.

This is also a disguised form of showing weakness and bribery.

Qi Xiuyuan didn’t give an accurate answer, but he also knew that Daqi, who had just won the victory against Dajin, was not suitable for launching another war, so he could only wait.

Waiting for the next opportunity to come, or a peaceful settlement to take back the field occupied by Xixia.

But now there are not many lost lands in Xixia’s possession, which is why Qi Xiuyuan is not in a hurry.

He took it calmly, but Xixia was in a hurry. The Xixia envoys visited Beijing with gold and silver for a few days, but they all hit a wall.

You know, this kind of situation almost never happened when Xixia was facing the Great Zhou, and the officials of the Great Zhou had always begged them with gold and silver.

At this moment, in reverse, they felt ashamed, indignant and annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.

The envoys of Xixia didn’t know that the officials they visited were the ones who complained.

This is at the foot of the emperor. The emperor and Prince Rong hate corrupt officials the most. These envoys come to the door with gold and silver and don’t know how to avoid people’s sight. Not to mention that they don’t have the intention of accepting bribes, even if they do, they dare not Reach out.

Xixia’s envoy held the treasure in his hand but couldn’t send it out, and his chest was clogged with blood.

And they are also blocked by the western countries who are seeking. In contrast, Korea, which is purely here to fight the autumn wind, and Chen Chaohe, who come to inquire about news and hope to establish diplomatic relations, are much easier.

After the monarchs and ministers have met, they will naturally meet with the envoys from various countries, and this order is also very particular.

The first to come up is Xixia, which is quite powerful, followed by the Chen Dynasty, which borders Daqi but has a good relationship, then Koryo, and the third is Dongying. These are neighboring countries. , there are also some interests involved at this time.

The envoys of the western countries were announced together, there is no way, the western countries are too far away from Daqi, apart from business contacts, Qi Xiuyuan really can’t think of what else they are involved with, since he can’t tell the good from the bad, Then let’s announce it together.

The envoys of the western countries bowed to Qi Xiuyuan on one knee, Qi Xiuyuan nodded slightly, and sat down after waiving the ceremony.

Only then did everyone see the hundred officials sitting in two rows, one seat for two, and another seat for family members behind them, the relationship was clear at a glance.

There were delicious food and wine on the desk, as well as some dishes that the envoys had never seen before. It was impossible not to be shocked.

Western countries are still defecating everywhere, the nobles don’t take a bath twice a year, and the food is even more lackluster. During the time they came to Daqi, they have seen the wealth and abundant supplies of the Han people, but None of the previous experience was as shocking as this one saw.

It turned out that this was Da Qi’s palace banquet!

Even Andre, who has traveled to this continent for more than 20 years, lost his mind for a moment.

Antonio sat on his seat for a long time before he came back to his senses. He looked at the slightly distant Daqi Emperor and said, “I finally understand why you always like to come to this continent to do business. This is indeed true. It’s a beautiful country.”

Andre, who attended the palace banquet as the deputy envoy of Spain, lowered his voice and said: “Its land is huge, and its resources are abundant. It is the richest country I have ever seen in my life, so we have a lot to do on this continent.”
