C345 I Guess There Is One Person Missing from the King's Feast
"What! Tianyu's path? You are saying that the Emperor might kill you? That's impossible! " General Qu had actually thought of this outcome before, but in the end, he still felt that it was not very possible.
"I don't know. The will of the Emperor is hard to predict. At least, my current situation is no different from Tianyu's. "
"Impossible. Qingyun, you must be thinking too much. The Emperor will definitely not kill you. Your prestige at this moment is extremely high. In these few years of war, you have repeatedly made remarkable contributions. If the Emperor kills you, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers. He will definitely not do that. "
"Big Brother, it is precisely because of this that the Emperor feels uneasy. That is why he feels that his merits shock the master. Thus in my view, even if the Emperor did not behead me, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape punishment. "
"Sigh! How did the matter develop to this day? Could it be that the Emperor cannot tolerate people with high merits?" General Qu sighed and said.
"Haha, Big Brother need not sigh. Now that the rebellion has been pacified and the world has peace, it is actually also very good. I am a person of the Jianghu and if I am demoted to a commoner, it is also not bad. Then I can do my own matters. "
"But. . . "
"Big Brother, there's no need for buts. Everything can be done according to fate. Fate and destruction are not something that we can decide. Alright, it's getting late. Big Brother, hurry up and attend the Emperor's banquet. Otherwise, the Emperor will blame you. I cannot bear the responsibility. " As he spoke, Qing Yun pushed General Qu out.
"Alright, alright, I will go now. But Qing Yun, don't worry. No matter what the Emperor's choice is, I will definitely fight for you. At the very least, I will protect your Royal Highness position. " After saying that, General Qu turned around and left.
After watching him leave, Qingyun returned to the table and continued to read. Not long later, Loong Feng left. Loong Yun and Loong Feng walked in.
"How is it going? Did you find him?"
"Yes, Your Highness. We have found him. He has already chosen a good day. Three days later, Big Brother and Ling can be buried. "
"En, Loong Tian and Loong Yu can finally be buried there. There is a mountain about thirty miles west of the city. There is a place in the middle of the mountain where flowers and forests are located. The scenery there is beautiful, there are mountains and water. After three days, bury them there. "
"It is still Prince Wang who is careful. He has even chosen the place. Thank you for your kindness, Prince Wang. " After saying that, the two brothers knelt on the ground.
"Quickly get up. What are the two of you doing? This is what I should do. Quickly get up. "
"No matter what, it's all thanks to Your Highness that my Big Brother and Fourth Brother were able to be buried. The two of us brothers should thank Your Highness. That's right. Isn't the Emperor hosting a banquet tonight? Why is the Royal Highness still here?" The two of them stood up as they talked. This was the question Loong Feng suddenly asked out of curiosity when he thought of the grand banquet.
"Haha, I'm not going anymore. I never liked that kind of occasion. Besides, I'm guilty now. It's a celebration and welcome banquet. Even if I go, it'll only be awkward. "
"But if the Emperor knows, will he use this as an article to deal with the Royal Highness?"
"That won't happen. I have already told General Qu to tell the Emperor that I am unable to attend due to the cold. As for the Emperor, it is enough with the rule of Cloud Guardian. There is no need to use this matter as an issue. "
" It would be better if the Royal Highness doesn't go. It would be better for us to drink big mouthfuls of wine and eat big chunks of meat together. " Loong Yun said in a forthright manner.
"En, Loong Yun's idea is not bad. Someone come and prepare quickly. It has been a long time since the meat was cooked. The three of us will not return until we are drunk, haha. . . " Hearing Loong Yun's words, Qing Yun put down his book and happily ordered the guards to go and prepare.
Night fell and the banquet began. Following the singing and dancing of birds and birds, the Emperor, Princess Jinyu and Noble Consort Wan slowly walked to the banquet.
When the Emperor arrived, the entire hall instantly quietened down and all of them stood up and knelt down on the ground, exclaiming for long live.
"Hahahaha, all my close, please rise. Tonight is a feast specially prepared by me to reward the generals who have gone out to battle. It is a feast to welcome them. No need to be overly courteous, and no need to be overly reserved. Tonight, we, the ministers, will not return until we are drunk. We will play music. " As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, the music started. The singing and dancing continued. It was a lively scene. The dishes and dishes were also continuously served by palace maids.
"Many thanks to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. " After the various ministers knelt down to thank Long En, they once again sat down and began to drink and eat meat while chatting happily.
The Emperor swept a glance at the ministers present and his expression became somewhat ugly because he saw that the seat belonging to Prince Mu was currently empty.
"Emperor, what's wrong with you? Why is your complexion so bad?" Wan who was at the side saw the Emperor's expression change drastically and followed the Emperor's gaze to look over. When she found an empty seat, she understood what was going on but still pretended to be concerned and asked.
"This Mu Qingyun is simply getting more and more impudent. Such a big feast, he actually dared to not come. Humph, does he really think that he doesn't put me in his eyes because of his high merit? Does he really think that I won't dare to touch him? " The Emperor got angrier the more he spoke.
" The Emperor must not be angry. That Mu Qingyun has always looked down on others and it is not surprising for him to do so. The Emperor demolishing him to a commoner is the most correct method. " Wan patted his chest as she persuaded him.
"Hmph, beloved consort, you are right. Such a person is proud of his merits and cannot be left alive. If not for his high merits and some prestige, I would really want to kill him. "
"The Emperor does not need to care about this for now. He was demoted to a commoner without any position and authority. It is very easy to make him die. In the future, if the Emperor wants him dead, just find a random reason to kill him. "
"En, what your beloved concubine said is right. When he was demoted to a commoner, there will naturally be fewer people paying attention to him. As time passes, all the credit and prestige will be forgotten over time. At that time, I can give him a random reason to know how powerful I am. "
"Haha, so why should the Emperor be angry? Anger is harmful to the body. Furthermore, there is such a lively banquet now. Emperor, please don't let those small matters affect your mood. That would be bad. "
"Haha, that's right. Beloved consort, let me toast you. " As he spoke, the Emperor raised his wine cup and clinked it with Noble Consort Wan before the two of them drank it all in one gulp. At this time, Princess Jinyu had already run over to General Qu's place to drink.
After the Emperor finished drinking, he saw General Qu and Princess Jinyu playing boxing and simply stood up and walked over with a wine cup in hand.
"Hahahaha, the two of them are having a good time. I didn't know that you would call me over. Count me in. " As he spoke, the Imperial Emperor sat down.
"This official saw that the Emperor was talking to her Ladyship and did not dare to disturb the Emperor. I hope that the Emperor can forgive me. "
"Haha, no matter. Let's continue. Tonight, we are going to play. General Qu, let's continue. You are the main character of tonight. If you do not drink and fall, you are not allowed to go back!"
"Your subordinate will do as you say. "
"Haha, alright, let's continue. Ah! Right, where's Prince Mu? Why isn't he here?" Speaking of which, the Emperor pretended to be a little unhappy as he asked.
