The crown prince led all the officials to enter the capital in the presence of the people of the capital with great specifications, and entered the capital in the presence of King Pingxi, walked the royal road, and entered the palace.
This end,
The emperor accompanied Zheng Fan in the carriage, took another entrance, and entered the palace gate.
"There is a banquet tonight," said the emperor.
The vassal king with the highest specification and reputation in Dayan should be the King of Zhenbei;
However, fame belongs to fame, and everyone is not a qi refiner, after all, they have to live a more realistic life. Therefore, in terms of the number one vassal king of Dayan today, it is King Pingxi.
The clearest and most direct comparison is,
King Zhenbei actually entered Beijing, two days earlier than King Pingxi.
The emperor also sent the prince to greet him, and also hosted a banquet, but it was the emperor's family banquet.
For ordinary courtiers, the emperor's family banquet is a very high honor, but for the feudal officials or vassal kings outside, this little bit of grace is actually not very important. The feudal officials have their own Political philosophy has its own followers and its own basic plate, and the vassal king is more direct, has his own fiefdom and his own army;
The emperor's attitude towards them is no longer aimed at one person, but at the whole group behind them.
The external statement is,
The invitation of the two princes to Beijing this time is to tell the world that Dayan's generation has inherited the political structure of one emperor and two kings from the previous generation, which will appease the inside and deter the outside world;
But underneath,
King Zhenbei entered Beijing first and held a family banquet. After King Pingxi entered Beijing, he entertained the two kings to hold an official banquet together. It was obvious who was heavier.
You must know that Wang Jia will not break his connection with Jingzhong on the way. According to common sense, every time he goes to a place, he will send someone to inform Jingzhong, and the local officials will also notify;
The two princes can completely adjust their schedules and go to Beijing on the same day, trying to avoid any possible embarrassment.
However, in this matter, the imperial court did not intentionally favor one another, and Ji Laoliu would not use King Zhenbei as an excuse for King Pingxi. It was King Zhenbei himself who took the initiative to speed up his trip to Beijing;
Everyone understands that after Li Liangting's death, the Zhenbei Palace almost disarmed the court, but Pingxi King has been clinging to the military power and local governance power. Beihou Mansion.
However, King Zhenbei took the initiative to lower his posture, and he didn't even think about carrying it. He went to Beijing for two days first, and it was considered that the junior bowed his head to the senior.
"Why don't we have a soup together?" the emperor suggested, "Will you go to sleep?"
Zheng Fan turned to look at the emperor;
The emperor smiled and continued: "It was built in the style of your mansion. I like bubbles even if I have nothing to do."
It has to be said that Ji Chengjue really pays more attention to health preservation than the former emperor;
It's a pity that his problem is in his head, so it's really not a problem that can be solved by keeping in good health or not.
"good."
Zheng Fan agreed.
"Success, Wei Zhonghe."
"The slave is here."
"It is said to the outside world that I want to discuss matters with the prince's imperial study, so don't disturb me."
"The slave obeys the order."
The soup pool in the palace is very elegant, but on the scene, it is not very grand. One is that the palace has a long history, and each palace has its own purpose. ;
After Ji Chengjue came to the throne, his personal enjoyment did not fall, but he did not engage in any major construction projects.
To be truly ruined, you have to build a royal villa to be grand enough. To build it directly in the palace, it really looks a little cramped, at least there is no royal ostentation.
The emperor led the prince in, and the two sat down at the stone table next to the soup pool.
Eunuch Wei personally served the ice drink;
Tian Tian licked his lips, brought it over, and took a sip;
Well,
Not as delicious as expected, too sweet.
The dietary standards of the Pingxi Palace, especially the snacks, have long surpassed this era. After all, there is a vampire in the wine cellar who is responsible for designing and making drinks and snacks for the family members in the wine cellar.
The emperor lowered his head, looked at Tiantian, and asked;
"How is it, is it good?"
"It's delicious, brother."
"Drink more if it tastes good, brother."
The emperor doesn't care anymore.
"hey-hey."
 I still get my salary and money for a month, so why do I have to pay it inside if I can¡¯t even see a tael of money when I¡¯m fighting outside and guarding the house? "
"Without a country, there is no home!"
"Without me, there would be no country for you!"
"Zheng Fan, you are presumptuous!"
The emperor stood up directly from the soup pool!
"Why, can the emperor be unreasonable!"
Prince Pingxi also stood up.
It is impossible for Li Fei to continue soaking in the pool now, so he can only stand up and be a peacemaker:
"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, Prince Pingxi didn't mean that, not that.
?My lord, my lord, we can't talk to His Majesty like this, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the King, we can discuss everything, everything is for the country, not for the Yan. "
"My surname is Zheng, what exactly do you want!"
"No matter what, I feel that I have lost money. I only have to produce silver for this little food. I have raised so many soldiers and horses, and I can't afford the expenses.
It would be fine if there were more elite soldiers to make one count as ten, and this would save a lot of money, but you have to know that the wild soldiers can only make do with it, they can't be used on the table, and they eat too much!
You send me the barbarians back, I want the barbarians! "
"My lord, speak slowly, speak slowly." Li Fei persuaded.
"You are delusional, not to mention the fact that the barbarians have been sent to Marquis Anton by me, and they will never come back for no reason, that is, how much pressure is there for Yinlang County to face the entire three sides of Qianguo, how can I give it to you? He broke the stage!
The surname Zheng, I think you are really used to lawlessness, are you going to rebel, this emperor, you can do it! "
"Your Majesty, you must not do this. Your Majesty, you must not say such angry words. King Pingxi can't mean that, it can't mean that.
Uncle Zheng, Your Majesty, let's discuss it carefully, and we will definitely be able to negotiate a perfect solution, for sure. "
Zheng Fan sneered,
Pointing to the emperor,
road;
"If you don't give money, don't give food, don't give soldiers, you are letting me go to be a qi refiner and cultivate immortals. Jindong has to suppress Jin, and also has to guard against Xueyuan and Chu. I carry three at a time. It's easy. !"
"Then how can you be satisfied!" the emperor shouted angrily.
"My lord, what do you want?" Li Fei asked hastily, "It's really not possible, I will be in the second half of the Northern Palace"
Li Fei originally wanted to say that if it is impossible, he can cut some of the food and salaries of the Zhenbei Palace for the second half of the year so that the court can support Jindong. After all, the barbarians in the desert have been busy killing each other in recent years, and the threat is already very low.
But Li Fei hasn't finished speaking yet,
Zheng Fan said directly;
"Okay, I'll suffer a little bit, just like what my elder nephew said, transfer the troops from Li Chenghui's town to Jindong, and I'll use wild soldiers in exchange."
Li Fei: "Huh?"
The emperor let out a long sigh, as if deliberately suppressing his anger, he even smashed the wet towel in his hand on the water,
Turn your head,
With a gesture of not wanting to see your dead face surnamed Zheng again,
Turning to look at Zhenbei King Li Fei standing beside him,
