Chapter 344 Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner
Emperor Long He stared at him with a gloomy expression, his chest rising and falling violently, full of anger.
As the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, he had to bow his head to a traitor. How could he endure such humiliation?
It was not impossible to overturn the case for the Song family, but he just didn't want to compromise easily with the Song thieves.
What will people in the world think of him once this example begins? He must be considered too cowardly and incompetent as an emperor!
Wei Dongsheng carefully observed the emperor's expression, and felt a little uneasy when he saw that he was angry and silent.
He quietly gave his old father a suggestive look, hoping that the other party would come out to ease the tense atmosphere.
Wei Guangqi stroked his gray beard and persuaded calmly: "Your Majesty, recruiting Song Xi is just a temporary measure. The temporary forbearance and concession will not affect the overall situation. When the north is recovered, the world will understand your Majesty's good intentions.
Be careful."
This advice met the emperor's concerns, and his heated mind calmed down.
Emperor Long He lowered his eyes and considered the salary for half a minute, and finally agreed to the suggestion of his grandfather and uncle.
"That's all, let the Song thief be proud for a while, and then take back the north and settle things with him in the future! Three days later, the imperial list will be posted to announce it to the world, to clear up the treasonous reputation of Song Haocang, the Marquis of Dingbei. Haven't the original culprits surrendered themselves?
Let’s announce the subsequent results as well.”
The real culprits behind the frame-up of Dingbei Hou were the eldest prince and the He family, but the imperial list announced to the world could not be repaid according to the truth.
This matter involves the prestige and reputation of the royal family, and Emperor Longhe cannot expose the ugliness in it willfully.
Xiang Rui, Deng Peng, Huang Liming and others who have long since died will be accused of being the masterminds and replace the eldest prince as the villains who harmed Zhongliang. The wording of the imperial list needs to be carefully considered to avoid damaging the reputation of the late emperor and himself.
He waved his hand and called the prince to the front. He added a few words and said: "I will draft the imperial edict again. After the imperial list is posted, you will set off to the north. This time, the matter must be done smoothly, otherwise you will
Just give me a heads up and come see me!"
It is very important to return to the capital. The northern center is the foundation of their Wu family.
No matter how good Jinling is, he is just a companion. Staying here will only make him look stupid and useless!
Emperor Longhe was eager to prove himself, and for this reason he did not hesitate to bow to the ambitious and powerful enemy.
I hope that the result will be as they expected, and the important land in the north will be completely taken back from the Song thieves.
"My slave obeys the order." The prince accepted the task cautiously, but he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
Why does this kind of hard work always fall on him? The Song family is not easy to deal with!
I hope I can return safely and smoothly this time!
He doesn't want to take the risk of being coerced again...
…
It's August 15th again, same full moon, different scenery.
Lanterns were decorated everywhere in the capital, and the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival was held to celebrate the festival.
This lantern festival was actively organized by Yu Yalan in order to bring new vitality to the capital city that had experienced war and disaster.
Sihai Commercial Bank also joined forces with Jing Zhaoyin to hold product promotion meetings to attract businessmen from all over the country to invest in Beijing.
Song Xi gathered his subordinates together and held a grand dinner in the Jiuzhou Tongguo Hotel.
This was the first Mid-Autumn Festival since the Song family took over the capital, and the couple wanted to celebrate with all the heroes.
These years of traveling around and being busy with expeditions, the rare reunion festival is the best time to rest.
Song Xi also took the opportunity to issue a notice to calm the people, informing the people one by one about the development direction of Beizhili and measures to benefit the people. At the same time, he also issued a sincere invitation to talents from all over the world, hoping that knowledgeable people could join the Song family.
The capital has completed most of its reconstruction. Several important buildings and main roads have been completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The water, electricity and sewage systems have also been laid. The power plants and water plants in the suburbs of Beijing have officially begun to be put into use.
Many people who left Beijing heard about the changes in their hometown and came back to investigate and watch with curiosity and expectation.
When I came back, I was shocked and decided to return to my hometown without hesitation.
The quaint capital city now has a completely new look. Many new industries are growing silently. The advanced lifestyle has refreshed people's understanding. The popularization of street lights has given birth to a colorful night market scene.
Businessmen from other places also found it eye-opening and had never seen so many new and interesting things in their lives.
Clear water flows out when you open the pipe, electric lamps can shine as bright as day without being lit, there are smooth and dust-free asphalt roads, and towering buildings that reach into the sky.
Every item is breathtaking. Even if you have a fortune, you have never heard of such a miracle.
I had heard before that the Song family had many handy tricks, but now that I saw them, I truly understood their great strength.
It seems that the Song family is not that kind of crude and ignorant reckless warriors. It has special advantages in governing the territory that ordinary people cannot match. Investing in Beijing is definitely a sure-profit choice. Many businessmen plan to stay in the capital to take advantage of the best.
business opportunities.
Song Xi and Yu Yalan were naturally happy to see the results, and they also provided a lot of suggestions to guide investment. Various ministries under their command also cooperated in issuing some convenient policies to encourage merchants to develop various industries in the capital.
The sharp-sighted businessmen admired the Song family more and more, and privately praised the marshal and his wife for their foresight. They heard that the mistress Yu was keen on helping people in need, and they also donated a lot of money and materials as she wished.
In an era when heroes are vying for the throne, it is most taboo to stand on the wrong team, but businessmen who have seen the changes in the capital are willing to take a gamble.
The Song family already has the qualifications to be a co-owner, and they believe that their choice will not be wrong!
In fact, it was not only the merchants and common people who were shocked and sighing, but the civil servants and generals of the Song family were also filled with admiration.
If you can follow such a powerful lord in your lifetime, you will have no regrets even if you die in battle!
As soon as they heard that the Song family was going to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival dinner at the State Guesthouse, all the subjects chose to attend the banquet without any objection. The mistress also allowed them to bring their families with them, so that no one would miss the happy reunion event.
In the banquet hall of the State Guesthouse, the guests at the banquet were enjoying food, singing and dancing.
This Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was of extremely high standard, and all the guests who arrived also received an exquisite gift.
Everyone was feasting, talking and laughing, and the relationship between master and slave deepened a lot again.
In the exchange of cups and cups, a lively and joyful atmosphere gradually boiled and blended.
"The imperial edict has arrived——! The envoy from Jinling has invited Marshal Song. Please, Marshal, please come to the door to receive the edict."
A high-pitched male voice broke through the noise of the scene, and all the guests in the hall fell silent and stood up.
The same group of envoys, different scenes, the timid princes are no longer arrogant and proud.
Song Xi did not refuse the interview this time, but stood up and walked to the door casually.
Dingbeihou's edict to reverse the verdict has been announced to the world, and he doesn't mind giving Emperor Longhe a little sweetness.
Even if he accepts a mere imperial edict to be crowned king, it will not have any impact on him.
Chapter completed!
