Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 523 Palace Banquet

Zhao Zhongyu has been in a bad mood since he talked with Zhao Hanzhang. He smiled and said: "Your uncle is sick, I let him rest in the room."

He turned to look at his grandson, who was standing honestly, and said in an indifferent tone: "Da Lang, why are you still standing there? Don't you know how to greet your sister when you see him? He said before that he hadn't seen Sanniang for a long time, and he was so worried. ."

Zhao Yi came to his senses and quickly bowed to Zhao Hanzhang, "Third sister, long time no see, how are you?"

"I'm fine." Seeing Zhao Yi looking a little haggard, Zhao Hanzhang looked worried, "Brother looks bad, are you sick?"

Zhao Yi shook his head, "I'm just a little scared, it doesn't matter."

Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I have a prescription to soothe the nerves. I'll ask Tinghe to copy a copy and send it to you later. I think it's good. Just take a couple of them."

Ji Yuan, who was standing behind them, raised his eyelids and glanced at the two of them, and sneered in his heart. He didn't even say what he said about the situation as well as their lord, so... Humph!

"Sister!" Zhao Erlang rushed into the hall and trotted up, "The banquet has not started yet!" He was not late!

Zhao Hanzhang took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a look of disgust on his face, "He ran around as soon as he came back. Look at the sweat on your head."

Then she looked at the clothes he was wearing and was slightly surprised, "Whose clothes are these? Why are they so wide?"

Xun Xiu followed Zhao Erlang in. Although he didn't run, he would sweat easily even if he walked quickly. He quickly saluted Zhao Hanzhang, exhaled and said, "It's mine. I lent it to Erlang Jun."

Zhao Erlang pulled up his sleeves and said: "I said I wanted armor clothes to go to the palace, but Mr. Xie said no, I will change into my casual clothes. Mr. Xie also disliked the Hu clothes, but I didn't wear a wide shirt, so General Xun said Lend me a set."

Zhao Zhongyu said: "Tomorrow I will ask your aunt to make you some sets of clothes. How can a good man have no clothes to wear?"

Only then did Zhao Erlang notice Zhao Zhongyu and Zhao Yi. He still remembered them and subconsciously hid behind Zhao Hanzhang and pouted.

Even though he was a general who could go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, he was still afraid of them subconsciously.

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes were dim, but he smiled and patted his arm, and said to Zhao Zhongyu: "It's better not to trouble my aunt with some trivial matters. Erlang, you have a bad memory. I'm afraid you won't remember. This is my uncle." , this is eldest brother, please greet me quickly."

Zhao Erlang cautiously raised his head and glanced at Zhao Hanzhang. Seeing her encouraging eyes and smiling and nodding to him, he boldly moved out from behind her to salute.

Xie Shi arrived slowly at this time, with a calm attitude. He entered the palace with Zhao Erlang and the others, but he was not in a hurry. When he arrived, he saluted Zhao Hanzhang first, then glanced at Zhao Erlang and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "This is Xie's negligence. When I get back, I will have someone make a few sets of dresses for Erlang."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded.

Zhao Zhongyu looked at Xie Shih vaguely, and couldn't help but ask: "Who is this?"

Zhao Hanzhang introduced Zhao Zhongyu: "This is the teacher I hired for Erlang, Chen Jun Xie Shi."

It was from the Xie family of Chen County. Zhao Zhongyu's eyes narrowed slightly and he nodded to him.

A chamberlain announced that the emperor and the empress were coming, and Zhao Hanzhang asked Xie Shi and Zhao Erlang to take their seats. They all stood in line, waiting for the emperor and empress to arrive.

Zhao Dalang couldn't help but slightly raised his head to look at Zhao Erlang. They hadn't seen each other for two years, and Zhao Erlang had changed a lot. Not only had he grown taller and stronger, but the lustful look on his body was almost gone.

He was able to invite a descendant of the Xie family in Chen County to be his teacher.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't tell him that Zhao Erlang also had a teacher from the Langya Wang family.

Zhao Erlang's keen intuition came from fighting on the battlefield, and Zhao Dalang noticed it as soon as he looked at him.

He also turned his head to look over and glared at her fiercely.

Xie Shi, who was standing beside him, glanced at him, and he immediately stood up honestly.

The emperor and the queen walked out together, and everyone bowed and saluted.

Seeing that everyone was still respectful, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse me."

Looking at the few remaining courtiers, the emperor couldn't help but shed tears of sadness.

In the past, state banquets like this could only be attended by officials and dignitaries of fourth rank or above, except for some aristocratic families, and there were strict requirements on the number of accompanying family members.

But now, sixth-grade officials can appear in this hall, and some branches of aristocratic families can also come in. Thinking of the large number of officials and aristocratic families who were taken away by the King of Donghai, and now those people have fallen into the hands of Shi Le, the emperor shed tears. It's even more fierce.

"A sudden misfortune occurred and the country's soldiers were damaged. This is my fault. Although I regret it deeply, I cannot redeem it." The emperor looked at Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi and asked with tears, "I wonder if the two generals are willing to save hundreds of officials and aristocratic families from Shi Le's hands." Rescue?"

Zhao Hanzhang subconsciously looked at Gou Xi opposite him, and Gou Xi also raised his eyes to look at Zhao Hanzhang. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then both said to the emperor: "Your Majesty wishes, and I will do my best."

When the emperor heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly raised his glass and said: "The two generals have worked hard, I will toast you first. After the people are rescued, I will definitely let them toast the two generals again."

Zhao Hanzhang agreed with a smile, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said smoothly: "Your Majesty, there was a fire in Luoyang. Most of the north of the city was burned down, and many people fled. This place is no longer suitable for your Majesty to live. I sincerely ask your Majesty to move the capital."

The people in the palace tensed their backs and became nervous immediately. Gao Yi, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, asked, "We want to move the capital, but I don't know where to move to."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled slightly and said: "It depends on how your Majesty likes it."

The emperor looked at Gou Xi secretly and asked, "What do you think, General Gou?"

Gou Xi said: "Your Majesty, Yuncheng is good. It has smooth waterways and is far away from the Xiongnu and Xianbei. It can be used as a capital city."

Yuncheng was under the rule of Yanzhou.

But Yuncheng is not far from Langya, and there is Sima Rui there, who was the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The emperor wanted to move the capital to Yuncheng...

Zhao Hanzhang immediately smiled and praised: "I also think that Yuncheng is good. General Gou is also the governor of Qingzhou and is familiar with Jizhou. If your majesty moves the capital to Yuncheng, he can safely appease the people."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "In recent years, the people near Kyoto have been in panic and lost their hearts. This is the time when your Majesty needs to be comforted."

The emperor himself was in panic every day and had no time to appease the people. If the environment of moving the capital this time was safe, he could just appease and win over the people.

The emperor immediately understood Zhao Hanzhang's deeper meaning, and his hesitant heart suddenly became firm, "Then..."

"Your Majesty, no, Yuncheng is not suitable." An old minister raised his hand to stop him and said, "Yuncheng is located to the east. How can we command the world? I feel that apart from Luoyang, only Chang'an and Chenxian are the most suitable capitals. ."

Although his suggestion hit Zhao Hanzhang in the back, it must be said that his suggestion was extremely correct, especially because he was able to finish his words despite Gou Xi's murderous gaze.

So Zhao Hanzhang asked Zhao Zhongyu who was sitting next to him in a low voice, "Uncle, who is he?"

Zhao Zhongyu said: "Xia Houyan is not an official in the court. This time when the Huns invaded, there were only a few people in his family who did not follow the King of Donghai to leave. Your Majesty asked him to take refuge in the palace to avoid trouble."

Zhao Hanzhang became happy. It was not better to be an official in the court. She decided to go see him tomorrow.
