Chapter 418: Murder is about to start
After a while, Li Si and "Tao Ziyu" arrived at the Enrong Banquet.
This is Hanlin Academy, the place that scholars all over the world yearn for the most.
At this time, lanterns were already hung here, looking festive.
In the courtyard of the Hanlin Courtyard, almost all the imperial officials in Kyoto came.
In fact, generally speaking, the Enrong Banquet would not be held so big. Generally speaking, this banquet was given to imperial ministers, ministers of the Ministry of Rites, ministers of the Ministry of Rites, ministers of the ministers, and new Jinshi.
The emperor will not attend.
But this time it was a little different. Because Li Si was going to compete with Mo Qiubai, the scale of this Enrong Banquet far exceeded the previous scale.
That is, when Li Si and Tao Ziyu entered the Hanlin Academy, the discussion in the field gradually subsided and they all looked at Li Si and the others.
It’s not that these officials are watching the two of them. The main reason is that Li Si and Tao Ziyu have very special identities.
One is the master who challenged Mo Qiubai's sword saint, and the other is a powerful minister who is in power.
These two were the focus of today's banquet.
It was at this time that a waiter came up and took Li Si and Tao Ziyu to his seat respectively.
Not long after Li Si and Tao Ziyu took their seats, the remaining officials also came in one after another.
The seats are almost full.
Immediately afterwards, a palace maid came up with wine and dishes.
For a moment, the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of wine and food.
But now, no one eats.
Because there is still someone who has not come.
The current Emperor of Wei State - Yin Shaohe.
"Mr. Li, this is your charcoal."
After the wine and food were served, a palace maid came over with a tray and said carefully.
"Thank you, just put it here." Li Si nodded and pointed to the empty seat beside him.
Now, there is a stove next to him, which is specially used for heating, but I am afraid that someone will catch a cold after attending this banquet.
"Okay." The palace maid responded when she heard this, and then placed the tray next to Li Si.
After the release, the palace maid secretly glanced at Li Si a few times and felt relieved.
It seems that Lord Li, who kills without blinking, is not as difficult as he imagines. Instead, he treats people with gentleness and does not look like a vulgar warrior at all.
And it looks very nice.
When the palace maid thought of this, she blushed slightly and then took her back.
"Your Majesty is here!" It was at this moment that a sharp shout came.
Hearing the shout, an official knelt on the ground.
"Long live my emperor!" the ministers shouted.
At this time, there were only four people present, including Li Si, Zhang Yuan, Tao Ziyu, and Mo Qiubai.
Li Si looked at Zhang Yuan and Mo Qiubai, and saw that they all saluted towards the entrance without intention of kneeling down.
Seeing this, he probably understood what privileges Zhang Yuan and Mo Qiubai should have obtained from the emperor, so he did this.
And just as Li Si looked at him, Zhang Yuan just glanced at him and looked dull.
On the contrary, when Mo Qiubai, who was standing beside him, looked at Li Si, there was a mysterious smile on his face.
When Li Si saw Mo Qiubai's smile, he understood what this person was thinking. He probably thought that Mo Qiubai had been poisoned and his weapon had been replaced, and he was proud.
Thinking of this, he nodded and smiled at Mo Qiubai.
Just before he entered the Enrong Banquet with "Tao Ziyu", "Tao Ziyu" had already given instructions.
The sword Li Si took himself today, but there was no discount at all.
The sword that was about to be lost was probably thrown into some corner at this time.
When Mo Qiubai saw Li Si smiling at him, his smile gradually became restrained.
"Laugh, you will cry later." He snorted coldly in his heart.
It was at this moment that a sound of footsteps came.
Yin Shaohe, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked towards the high platform surrounded by many eunuchs and palace maids.
"All my beloveds are flat." Yin Shaohe said with a smile after sitting in the main seat.
Then he looked at Li Si and Tao Ziyu, with a hint of hatred deep in his eyes.
These two people didn't give him any face at all, and they didn't kneel down at such a banquet, which was a complete slap in the face.
If possible, he really wanted to let the guards come in and kill the two of them.
But he couldn't, because one was the prime minister who was in the court, and the other was the master of martial arts.
Neither of these two people can be easily dealt with.
"Dance!"
At this moment, the old eunuch next to Yin Shaohe shouted.
With his shout, a musician immediately played music. At the same time, more than a dozen delicate women walked into the venue one by one and started a graceful dance.
Seeing this, the other ministers laughed. There was no such thing as singing and dancing during the usual banquet.
At most, I just study and eat.
Today they were eye-opening.
Li Si looked at the dance in front of her and showed appreciation in her eyes. These dancers obviously had a very solid foundation and were not much better than some of the dance performances in their previous lives.
Even some places are even better.
Then he started dancing with the dishes.
After a while, the dance ended.
"Youyou deer sings, eats the apples in the wild. I have guests, who play zither and sheng. Play sheng and sheng, and carry the basket. I like you so much..."
At the same time, many Jinshi sat upright, and the sound of reading in the field rang out, and the atmosphere was pushed to the extreme for a moment.
When Li Si saw this scene, he was slightly moved, and then sighed in his heart.
How great would it be if there were no evil spirits in this world.
At the same time, he also knew that the time was almost over.
Thinking of this, Tao Ziyu, who was under the throne, reached out and greeted a palace maid.
The palace maid saw Tao Ziyu greeting him and hurried over.
Then, Tao Ziyu said something to the palace maid, and the palace maid clearly showed a look of surprise.
Then the harem maid walked to the emperor and talked to an eunuch for a while.
After listening, the eunuch looked at Tao Ziyu, walked to the emperor and reported in a low voice.
"Oh, that's it!" Yin Shaohe smiled when he heard this, then looked at Tao Ziyu and said, "Since Prime Minister Tao is not in good condition, then go back and rest early. Prime Minister Tao is the mainstay of Wei State. Don't be exhausted."
"Thank you, my elders, thank you." Tao Ziyu stood up, bowed to Yin Shaohe, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty also asks you to take care of your dragon body more, so don't be greedy."
After saying that, he walked out of the Hanlin Academy under the guidance of the palace maids.
When the Prime Minister left, the people in the venue looked different and exchanged their eyes, thinking that today's matter might be very important.
After all, the Prime Minister is over 70 years old, and he might even die one day.
Now, perhaps the old prime minister's body is no longer good.
"Come on, Prime Minister Tao is gone, but we still have to continue drinking, right?" Yin Shaohe felt extremely happy when he saw Tao Ziyu leaving, so he whispered with a wine glass.
Hearing Yin Shaohe's words, everyone in the venue raised their wine glasses and said, "Treat to Your Majesty!"
With Tao Ziyu's departure, the atmosphere in the field became even better.
"It's beginning..." Li Si breathed gently.
Now that ‘Tao Ziyu’ has left, it is naturally impossible to leave the imperial city, but to go to the Golden Palace.
There, an old woman was waiting for him now. The old woman did not come to the Enrong Banquet today, just to wait for him.
And just as Li Si was thinking about things, a middle-aged man with a beard looked at him from afar, with murderous intent in his eyes unconcealed.
During the banquet, murderous intent is about to arise.
