Chapter 154 Royal Banquet
"I am satisfied with being able to regain my disciple's position. Why dare I think of the Imperial Banquet to be shocked..." Dong Qichao smiled bitterly and continued, "Until now, I don't know what happened. Your Majesty turned against me just like a tiger."
"Whatever you accompany you depends on your ability. When you reach my position as an old man, even if he is really a tiger, he will not dare to bite you." After laughing, Gui Bugui walked to the Sitianjian Yamen with Wu Mian. After sitting down at the central hall, before he could say a few words, Dong Qichao's close-fitting Taoist priest hurriedly ran in. He said to Wu Mian, Gui Bugui saluted, and said to Dong Qichao: "The eunuch who was delivering the order came outside. I have someone to set up a table of incense and ask the real person to go out to receive the order."
Dong Qichao hurriedly took the officials from Sitianjian and the Taoist priests out to welcome the imperial edict. Only Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the two monsters sat in the middle hall as if nothing had happened. After a while, Dong Qichao, who was somewhat excited, walked in with the imperial edict and said to Gui Bugui: "Master, you are just as good as a god. The imperial edict is my official position, and I have been named the Heavenly Master of the State Guard. The eunuch who sent the edict also passed on His Majesty's words. Tonight, Your Majesty set up an imperial banquet in the palace, saying that it was shocking for me, and even named the surname and said that you four of you should accompany you together. The disciple thought that it was not a bad thing, so he took the master and the elders to agree."
"You're quick..." Gui Bugui continued, after chuckling, "But what you said is right, and going to the banquet is not a bad thing. Let's go to the palace tonight for a meal. You have suffered in the prison, so go to rest. After raising your spirits, our master and disciple will go to the banquet together tonight."
Dong Qichao agreed and turned around and left the central hall. After watching the Dong Tianshi walk away, Bai Wuqiu said: "Old guy, I haven't had time to ask along the way. What's going on with the family of Prince Qi's Mansion and the Bride? It's a mystery. Tell me, if you can't figure it out, I feel uncomfortable."
"Silly boy, you seem to be able to figure out what you say." Gui Bugui smiled and continued, "I can't say anything specifically. But it's certain that new people will come in in Bianliang City soon. From the beginning, Guangxiao wanted to drive us out of the capital, and later Yan Jun, Tong Qizhen and others appeared, they all had a lot to do with this person. Dong Qichao almost lost his head for no reason, and it also had something to do with this matter. This matter has already involved the emperor. He invited us to a banquet tonight, but he just didn't want us to go over and disrupt the situation."
"Who has such a great force that has alarmed so many people." At this time, Xiao Rensan also said: "Tong Qizhen is here, Guangxiao and the King of Hell are so nervous. If we ginseng didn't know that Xu Fu's guarding the sea could not come out, we would have thought that old guy had returned to the land."
"I can't say who it is, but I can't tell you everything after seeing the situation in two days." Gui Bugui glanced at Wu Mian when he was talking. After seeing the white-haired man having no intention of speaking, he laughed and continued, "If you are lucky, you may know everything after you finish eating the imperial banquet tonight."
As the sky was getting dark, the eunuch who came to invite people in the palace arrived. Under the leadership of this eunuch, Dong Qichao, who had already changed into the gossip fairy clothes, came to the palace accompanied by Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and two monsters.
The imperial banquet was arranged in Heshou Palace. When the demon arrived, there were only a few officials sent by the Ministry of Rites to match the seats. However, the emperor and the monk Guangxiao were not seen.
After several officials accompanied Dong Qichao for a while, the current emperor Zhao Guangyi came to Heshou Palace surrounded by several eunuchs and guards. After seeing Dong Qichao who was a little frightened, he laughed and said, "Yesterday, I was confused and mistakenly believed the villain's slander. Only then did I offend Dong Tianshi. After reacting today, I have already punished the rumor-mongered person and made Dong Tianshi clear."
"Whatever Your Majesty said is that thunder and rain are all kindness. Qi Chao is a minister of the Song Dynasty, and even his Majesty. Even if His Majesty really wants his name, Qi Chao dared not complain at all." Dong Qichao said, standing up from behind the dining table, kneeling on the ground and bowing to the emperor.
When Dong Tianshi was performing his salute, Wu Mian did not give up. The two monsters looked contemptuous. After he finished the salute, Bai Wuqiu poured Xiao Rensan a glass of wine, and then fucked the glass of wine. The two monsters did not wait for the emperor to say a few opening remarks, and started eating and drinking by themselves.
Now the emperor has known the identity of the person who came to the banquet with Dong Qichao. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still did not dare to offend these god-like figures. He immediately picked up the wine glass on his table, smiled at Wu Mian, Gui Bugui said to the two monsters: "I heard that the immortals also have great powers. I would like to ask the immortals to ensure the peace and prosperity of the Song Dynasty and the weather is good. I respect the immortals to a cup..."
After saying that, Zhao Guangyi drank the wine in the glass directly. However, after he finished drinking, he saw Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the two monsters did not move, as if he had not seen him just now doing it. In this way, His Majesty the Emperor was a little embarrassed.
Seeing that the emperor was a little embarrassed, Dong Qichao hurriedly stood up and said respectfully to the emperor: "Your Majesty, these are Qichao's masters and elders in the master's sect. They are all people who fast and do not eat grains. If you are not convenient to drink, please do not blame him."
Do you think I was blind? The big man and the child's mouth were not idle. The white-haired man really saw that he had eaten honey meat. Except for the old man, they all moved their mouths. This is also called a person who does not eat grains? Although the emperor kept scolding in his heart, it was a step at least. Zhao Guangyi smiled and said to Dong Qichao: "Your teacher is all like gods, how could I blame him? Dong Tianshi joked. Come on, I was shocked by Dong Tianshi..."
After seeing this, Dong Qichao hurriedly got up and drank a glass of wine. Just as he was about to say a few thankful words, he suddenly saw his teacher standing up and said to the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, we are all rural villagers. We don't understand the rules in the palace, so please don't blame him. This glass of wine is toast to Your Majesty..."
The emperor hurriedly got up and accompanied the glass of wine. Before he could speak, he heard the old guy continue to say: "Today it was Zen Master Guangxiao who said, Your Majesty, you are hosting a banquet for several of us villagers. But where did that monk go? Why didn't he accompany His Majesty?"
"The Immortal Chief asked Master Guangxiao, originally he was coming to accompany the table. But it seemed that he had a Buddhist official in Fuyuan Temple and had already claimed a falsity to me." After pausing for a while, the emperor continued with a smile: "But he, a monk, would not come if he didn't come. The monk had too many taboos. Seeing the meat and fish on the table, he would advise me not to kill. He would be defeated by him for a long time..."
"Then the monk advises people to release animals? Emperor, have you remembered the wrong person?" At this time, Bai Wuqiu looked at the emperor carelessly, and then continued: "The monk Guangxiao likes to kill animals the most. There are not ten thousand souls that have died in his hands for so many years, but there are nine thousand nine thousand. When he sees others drinking and eating meat, he starts to be merciful? Bah!"
Hearing this big black man speaks rudely, the emperor felt a little unhappy. However, thinking that he must drag them into the palace tonight, he continued to smile and follow Bai Wuqiu's words: "Yes, I also think he is unauthorized. A good monk has to care about food and drink in ordinary people. It's really outrageous..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the palace, and the entire Bianliang City trembled. At first, the eunuch thought it was an earthquake and hurried over to help the emperor out. However, Zhao Guangyi pushed it away. The emperor couldn't help but look at the direction of the Qi Palace, his mouth trembled slightly, and blurted out: "Has it succeeded? Or failed..."
