Turbulent Times Chapter 794: The stupidest prince in history

Yang Guang adopted Yu Shiji's good strategy, and there were quite a lot of people for the banquet, and the scale was extremely large, even envoys from Goryeo and the Eastern Turkic country in the north came to Beijing for a pilgrimage and were invited to participate.

Yang Guang is a face-saving person, so he spent a lot of money, not only costing a lot of money, but also ordered Zongzheng Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taichang Temple, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Jingzhao Mansion and other related ministries to make preparations. The courtiers knew very well that the Holy Majesty's ulterior motives were not in drinking, so this birthday banquet was also organized with great care.

The officials and their family members who are eligible to participate in the birthday ceremony are all above the fifth rank, but it is not limited to service officials, military officers, scattered officials, honored officers, and noble officials. All officials above the fifth rank in Beijing are eligible to participate , but depending on the official position, the number of family members brought is limited. Even so, the scale immediately expanded several times, and the number of people participating in the banquet was as many as several thousand.

However, compared to the grandest banquet of giving wine, this kind of banquet can only be regarded as a small scale. The giving of wine usually lasts for a few days, and the whole country revels. Major happy events such as a good harvest will be held.

From noon onwards, the officials and family members who came to participate in the birthday banquet came to Chongyefang one after another. Horse carts, ox carts, horses, and donkeys, the three halls of the outer city of the imperial city were just used to hold this event. So today, there is an endless stream of people on the square street in front of the gate of the imperial city. Although there is a square in front of the gate of the imperial city, it is impossible to park hundreds of carriages. Besides, there are the emperor's chariot and foreign envoys. The vehicles have to go back, and none of the servants are allowed to stay.

Jingzhao Mansion sent hundreds of yamen servants to direct the traffic in front of the gate. In addition, the left and right military guards dispatched nearly 10,000 soldiers to patrol the inside and outside of the imperial city, and the Blue Yiwei Mansion also sent 300 people to watch , The defense is very careful.

Wang Junlin appeared in the square in front of the palace around late afternoon. He brought his wife, Chen Danying, Xiang Xiang and Shen Guoer to join in the fun, and other followers waited outside the imperial city.

Obviously, the yamen servants in Jingzhao Mansion are not as good as the traffic police of later generations, and they did not do a very good job of directing traffic. Of course, this may be related to the fact that all the officials who came to participate in the Queen's birthday were above rank five. These yamen servants dare not say, After talking about these officials, the lords would not pay attention to them, so the congestion was a mess.

Although there are not many people with higher status than Wang Junlin in the capital, Wang Junlin did not ask Lan Yiwei to show his identity to open the way, but to avoid the crowd along the way and move forward with difficulty Move a little bit, it is the peak time for guests to come, especially in the square in front of the imperial city, horse-drawn carts and ox carts are making a difficult U-turn, the owner is explaining things to the servants, the road is blocked, and it looks extremely crowded.

But after passing the square, the front of the mansion is a different scene. A dozen large tables are lined up, and twenty officials are busy registering the names of the guests and changing the banquet cards. When officials met at the door, it was always inevitable to exchange pleasantries.

Most of the guests came with their wives and daughters. The men were all dressed in the same way, wearing regular clothes, gauze hats, and Liuhe black leather boots, but the women walked lightly and loudly. Although it was late autumn, But most of the noble ladies wear half-moon high buns, narrow-sleeved small clothes and striped long skirts, half-arm short skirts, and a long skirt on the shoulders and arms. They look slender and pretty. It's as smooth as fat and pink as greasy. Looking from afar, the greenery in front of the imperial city is dazzling.

Wang Junlin has already received the banquet card for him from his subordinates. On the 11th, the seat will naturally not be bad. He was about to enter the imperial city under the warm greeting of the registration officials, when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him. With a shout: "His Royal Highness King Qi is here!"

Accompanied by dozens of guards, Qi Wang Yang Hao appeared more than thirty steps away. He was wearing a golden crown, a unicorn purple robe, and a gold jade belt around his waist. His appearance is indeed very good, exactly like Yang Guang today, plus his kind smile and polite demeanor, people can't help but have a good impression of him.

Yang Hao's arrival aroused a wave of greetings and flattery. Although Yang Hao was known as the number one villain in the capital among the common people, this nickname was coined by ordinary people in the capital. If you don't know Yang Hao's evil, although you have heard about it, if you don't experience it yourself, you won't know the evil. This is why Yang Hao has many bad deeds, but not many people impeach him.

The Holy Majesty only has two sons, even if Yang Zhao has become the prince, it is because of the eldest son. Therefore, some people support King Jin, and some support King Qi, especially Prince Yang Zhao, who is too fat and has always been in poor health. Although King Qi Yang Hao is an idiot on the inside, not many people know about it, but he looks handsome on the outside. Most people in the world judge people by their appearance, and the selection of officials depends on their appearance, let alone the selection of a monarch.

So generally speaking, there are still more people who favor King Qi. If Wang Junlin hadn't belonged to the cheater and knew the answer in advance, he would be optimistic about Yang Hao. But Wang Junlin knew that Qi Wang Yang Hao was the most stupid prince in history, holding a good card, even if he did nothing, he could eventually become a prince, but in the end he was forced to lose everything by his own stupidity. , and his reputation was ruined, so that Yang Guang wanted to strangle this son to death several times.

But today, Yang Hao listened to the words of a woman named Bai Lingyun in his house, deliberately showing his courtesy and corporal. It wasn't until he was called the number one villain in the capital.

At this time, hundreds of officials and family members gathered at the gate of the imperial city. Yang Wei's arrival made these ministers and family members retreat to both sides and parted ways. Wang Junlin was just in front of the gate of the imperial city, but the ministers rushed to Stepping back, but protruding him.

At this time, Yang Hao and his party had already reached the gate of the imperial city, followed by three personal guards. look familiar.

Suddenly seeing Wang Junlin as an enemy, Yang Hao stared at Wang Junlin with sharp eyes. His originally smiling eyes seemed to be invaded by cold air, and his eyes became cold and resentful, staring at Wang Junlin full of hostility , but this kind of cold hostility only existed for a short moment, and soon disappeared, and he resumed his attitude of being a virtuous corporal. Recently, under Bai Lingyun's training, Yang Hao is really good at maintaining his own image.

"It turns out to be Wang Junlin. Do you think that you are more noble than this king, and you dare to stand in my way?" Yang Hao is not only short-sighted and stupid, but also extremely cruel in his bones. There will be no mercy, even though he is the king of Qi, he does not have the cultivation and bearing of a prince in this regard.
