Everyone stood up and saluted. Emperor Chu raised his hand with a smile, motioning for everyone to sit down.
"Let's have a banquet!"
Emperor Chu said indifferently to the old eunuch beside him.
"Your Majesty is gracious! Let the banquet begin!"
The old eunuch waved his whisk and shouted at the top of his voice.
Immediately outside the door, a maid like a fairy floated in, dragging a jade plate in her hand, which contained fragrant delicacies and drinks, and sent them to each warrior's long low table.
Plates of delicacies were placed in front of Lin Bai, and Lin Bai looked at them carefully. Most of them were meat, and there were also some green vegetables made from some elixir.
But Lin Bai is not a warrior who likes to eat, so he doesn't know much about the delicacies in the imperial capital, and he can't name these dishes.
Yi Gu sat aside, picked up the chopsticks, served a plate of food, he picked it up and took a bite, and when he met something that suits his taste, he would eat two more bites, and if it didn't suit his taste, he muttered a few words.
Lin Bai is not very interested in delicious food, but more interested in the wine in the jug.
Picking up the jug, I got myself a glass of wine.
The wine leaves the pot like a clear spring, exuding a tangy fragrance.
Lin Bai took a sip, and the taste was delicate and silky, relatively light, and it also belonged to the category of sake. But you must have the sake from Shenxianlou, which is much more delicious.
All in all, it's not bad, not that bad.
In the Eastern Celestial Immortal Palace, many warriors ate and drank, and Emperor Chu occasionally chatted with the elders of five families and seven sects.
In the entire Immortal Palace, only the elders of five families and seven sects are qualified to chat and laugh with Emperor Chu, and the rest of the warriors are not worthy to speak.
At the banquet below the Emperor Chu, in addition to the disciples of the five families and seven sects, the warriors of Zhao Xing, and the generals of King Chai Ning's army, there were also officials of all sizes from the six departments of the court, including the three princes and nine ministers.
"Report to Your Majesty!"
At this time, a gray-haired veteran who was dying stood up, bowed his hands to the top with a smile on his face.
This person spoke, which attracted the attention of many warriors.
Even Lin Bai couldn't help raising his head and looked over.
This old man, sitting under Emperor Chu, was the head of civil servants. It was obvious how honorable this person was in the court!
Emperor Chu asked with a smile: "Master Zuo, what's the matter? Don't today's dishes and wine meet your taste?"
In the court of Chu State, under the Emperor Chu, two prime ministers were appointed.
The left prime minister is the head of civil servants.
The right minister is the head of the military officer.
However, because there are six ministries, the power of the left and right ministers is divided by the six ministries. Although they are extremely powerful ministers and belong to the three princes, most of the time they are empty positions and have no real power.
Therefore, most of the time, the left and right ministers are served by well-known warriors among the civil servants and military officials.
For example, the left prime minister at that time was once Minister of Rites and one of the vice-presidents of Bailu Academy, who had served in the Chu Dynasty for ten thousand years.
And he used to be the prince and grand tutor, in short, he used to be the teacher of Emperor Chu!
Originally, he was going to retire and return to his hometown to take care of his life, but he was appreciated by Emperor Chu, who promoted him to be the left minister and the head of civil servants!
Prime Minister Zuo smiled and smoothed his white goatee beard, and said: "No, no. The old man thinks that His Royal Highness Chen's trip to Kezhou to wipe out the demons of the Blood God Sect has made great contributions, and he should be rewarded." .¡±
"But the old man is sitting here, waiting left and right, but why didn't he get the decree to reward His Highness King Chen?" Zuo Xiang asked Emperor Chu with a wry smile.
When this sentence came out, it immediately stirred up waves.
If others dared to speak against Emperor Chu, they would have died thousands of times already.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang hurriedly got up and said: "Old Zhao, you misunderstood, when the father was in the palace, he had already awarded the reward!"
Emperor Chu interrupted His Highness Chen Wang with a smile, and asked Prime Minister Zuo: "Then Prime Minister Zuo thinks how to reward him?"
Holding his cane, Prime Minister Zuo thought about it for a while, and said, "His Royal Highness Chen Wang has done a lot of hard work this time, so he should be granted the title of prince and the six-beaded crown!"
As soon as Prime Minister Zuo's words fell, it immediately attracted the attention of many powerful officials in the court.
Especially the third prince who was sitting next to him, his eyes sank and his face was ugly.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang is now the status of the county king. If he is granted the title of prince, it is tantamount to officially entering the court.
Enter the six-bead crown, thisFor the third prince, it was even more ironic.
The third prince had spent many years in the imperial capital before getting into the seven-beaded crown, but His Royal Highness Chen Wang just went to Kezhou to wipe out a dispensable Blood God Sect, so he wanted to get into the six-beaded crown.
It is only one pearl short, and he can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
This made the third prince very uncomfortable!
What the third prince couldn't accept the most was Emperor Chu's answer.
Emperor Chu said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's rare for Prime Minister Zuo to be happy, so this emperor will obey Prime Minister Zuo's wishes!"
"Come on!"
The old eunuch beside him bowed and replied: "Yes."
The Emperor of Chu said: "According to Zuo Xiang's intention, the king of Chen, the king of Chu, will be added to the title of the prince, and he will enter the six-bead crown."
"Announce to the world today!"
The old eunuch agreed.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang came out in a hurry, and said respectfully and respectfully: "I thank my father!"
Emperor Chu said earnestly: "Jun You, since you have become a prince and won the six-beaded crown, you will be able to go to the court to govern in the future. The emperor does not want to see you fooling around in the future."
His Royal Highness Chen Wang nodded and said: "I will do my best to assist my father and govern the Chu Kingdom forever!"
"Okay, get up."
Emperor Chu smiled.
As soon as His Royal Highness Chen got up, all the warriors stood up and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness Chen for becoming a prince and entering the six-bead crown!"
His Royal Highness Chen Wang cupped his hands and smiled, thanking him a little.
The third prince smiled and said: "Congratulations, brother."
His Royal Highness Chen Wang smiled and did not say much.
After commending His Highness Chen Wang, the banquet continued, but the expressions on some people's faces seemed a little unnatural, such as the third prince.
"A new pattern has begun." The third elder laughed in a low voice after sitting down.
Qin Yao said to Lin Bai: "Lin Bai, do you think that the scene you saw just now was deliberately arranged by His Majesty Chu Emperor?"
Lin Bai laughed: "Without the instruction of Emperor Chu, how could Prime Minister Zuo be so rude, stand up and accuse Emperor Chu of unfair rewards and punishments?"
Qin Yao clicked his tongue twice: "His Majesty the Emperor of Chu is going to help His Highness King Chen up."
Lin Bai nodded, and glanced at His Royal Highness Chen Wang who was sitting above.
At this moment, he had just received an award, and all the powerful officials in the court toasted His Highness Chen Wang beamingly.
There is no doubt that His Royal Highness Chen Wang is showing off today.
In the past two or three hours, the number of officials toasting around His Royal Highness Chen Wang has decreased a lot.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang was already drunk. He was holding a wine glass and wanted to sit down and rest, but he looked at Lin Bai involuntarily.
Immediately, His Royal Highness Chen Wang walked towards Lin Bai with a wine glass.
"Brother Lin." His Royal Highness Chen Wang came with a wine glass and shouted to Lin Bai from a distance.
Lin Bai picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Highness Chen Wang."
His Royal Highness Chen Wang shook his head, and said: "I have returned to the imperial capital in the past few days, and the trivial matters are cumbersome. I can't get away for a while, so I haven't had time to congratulate you on your obeisance to the Lord!"
