Chapter 59

From any point of view, this is an unusual banquet for ministers.

The emperor was still warm and friendly, the queen was still in all manners of manners, Yu Hou recited fu with affection as usual, General Wu danced a knife to cheer up the fun, and Uncle Xuan Guo was the first to get drunk as usual, and he also went to the food case as usual. As usual, the second prince disliked the third prince, and he kept teasing with cold words during the banquet, annoyed that the fourth prince was about to make a move.

The third prince was in no hurry, he waved his hand to the fourth prince to indicate that there was no need, and then skilfully brought out the fact that the second prince's companions had not yet returned. The emperor didn't care at first, but after a while, the flying cavalry returned to those companions who were young and vigorous, and actually disobeyed the holy will and went hunting on their own in the mountains.

The emperor's face sank at that time. The second prince stole the chicken and failed to lose the rice. He knelt down in a panic and pleaded guilty. The fifth prince interjected: "Is it possible that I missed the banquet today, and I think there are many more."

So, starting with this, the emperor simply asked all those who missed the banquet by mistake. After a lot of dancing, the results were gratifying—six or seven Confucian scholars who were still drunk in the afternoon, four or five reckless teenagers who broke their legs at the horse races, three noble ladies who gambled money in their accounts, and two couples in awild mandarin duck who lost his way in a tryst in the forest.

In all fairness, today is not a strict monarch. If it is excusable, it is not a big deal to miss the royal banquet, so the emperor raised his hand and spared the unlucky ones with broken legs, and the rest were punished: drunk. Confucian scholars were expelled from Taixue; each of the noble ladies who gambled money was fined 30,000 yuan, their official life was revoked, and their husbands and sons were demoted to their rank by 200 stone each; as for the two pairs of wild mandarin ducks... one is the Duke of Zhongshan and the new widow who made the prince a wife. The Chenghou widower, the pair is the son of Hu Bentian Langguan and the daughter of Dr. Ouyang in Taixue.

The emperor was innocent and upright, and immediately said unpleasantly: "I don't want to pay attention to such matters of love and moon, but Chenghou was killed in battle a few months ago, and his wife is going to remarry, but during the period of filial piety, she committed adultery with someone with a family. On the one hand, it can be seen that there is no kindness between husband and wife, and on the other hand, it humiliates the deceased husband's wisdom. You should be punished!"

After he finished speaking, he ordered Chenghou widower to be expelled from the capital and returned to his mother's family. None of the wealth and silk of his husband's family could be claimed.

Seeing the emperor's dazed expression, all the ministers stopped pushing cups and changing glasses and laughing and chatting, and sat quietly in the banquet to wait for the emperor's departure. At this time, Tian Langguan and Dr. Ouyang were already kneeling in the middle of the imperial tent, kowtowing and begging for guilt. The former argued that 'the little children were ignorant and lost their way, and did not intend to despise the royal banquet', but the latter blushed and bit hard, 'My daughter has been promised to be married to someone else, and it was all the seduction of the Tian family's Shuzi'!

Cheng Shi, who was sitting in the corner of the imperial tent, was apprehensive. Before going to the banquet, Xiao Yuanyi sent someone to tell him that his daughter had not yet returned. He thought that his daughter and Lou Yao were going to play privately, but it was just before entering the tent. Seeing that Lou Yao was sitting in the seat of honourable children outside.

In fact, the emperor has no spare time to manage whether a girl from a mid-level general's family is coming to the banquet. Those three ladies were also found out because of the too much gambling battle. Chenghou widower and Mrs. Ouyang are picked up when the guards searched for Zhongshan Hou and Tian Gongzi.
