Noon.

On the White Jade Square in front of the main hall of the palace.

The weather is not as sunny as sunny, but it is still clear.

Thanks to the absence of pollution from heavy industry, the sky looks particularly blue and the air is particularly fresh.

More than ten round tables in the square have been arranged, with slim palace maids waiting beside them.

Eunuch Liu and other eunuchs in charge were also waiting here. Seeing Zhao Dongting leading the crowd over, they quickly made a smile.

Eunuch Liu came closer and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to have a banquet now?"

"Let's start a banquet!"

Perhaps because of the wide view here, Zhao Dongting was not so depressed. After saying that, he turned around and shouted to the ministers: "Everyone can sit down!"

He also created this round table banquet.

It seems much more lively to say that this is the case. Before, everyone had a small bed and even toast to the place, but they really lacked some taste.

"Please, please!"

Everyone bowed and said.

Zhao Dongting nodded and sat down directly above the table in the front and in the middle.

Lu Xiufu, Jun Tianfang, and Lei Wubao. Zhu Zongyao, Zhao Yuluo, Zhang Shijie, Wang Wenfu and others also sat down at his table in turn.

These are all given in particular, and eunuchs reminded them when they entered the palace.

This year, the Empress, the Empress, the Princess and Princesses were not in the palace.

Except for the supervision orders Zhao and Luo Zhao, the other eight princes were not allowed to enter the capital easily without being summoned by the emperor.

The Empress Dowager and the two Empress Dowagers also passed away.

Now in Changsha City, there are only four father-in-laws who can be qualified to sit on the main table in the royal family.

However, Mr. Li is afraid he can't even come.

Among the ministers, if all the deputy commanders are arranged to the main position, they will definitely not be able to sit down.

So we can only be the commander of the four provinces of supervision, law, military operations and the State.

Among them, the military aircraft Wen Tianxiang is still far away in Zhongdu.

There were nine people at each table, and when Wang Wenfu and others sat down, only one chair was left empty.

This attracted many people's attention.

Among the people present, no matter who they are, they will never appear in such an occasion in the future, which is not a trivial matter for the Song Dynasty.

At least this is true for this court.

Because those who can be invited here are extremely high-ranking existences in the Song Dynasty.

Eunuch Liu saw that everyone was ready to take the seats, clapped his hands, and said in a voice: "The emperor has ordered... to hold a banquet..."                                                                                                            

From the corner of the hall, beautifully dressed palace maids came out one after another.

They all held trays in their hands, and the trays were covered with red silk, and there were plates covered with covers.

If you look closely, these plates also have exquisite patterns engraved with gold wire.

Regarding the pomp of the New Year banquet, there is probably no scene in this world that can be compared with the scene in the palace at this moment.

There is restrained luxury.

But the Song Dynasty is now qualified to do so.

The palace maids fluttered lightly like butterflies, and placed plates of dishes on each table.

This process alone is very beautiful.

"Pine Zier..."                                                            �

This pine nut is the sixth taste. Zhang Polu and Mr. Li appeared under the palace gates in the distance.

There are many people here who practice martial arts, and their eyesight and perception are quite good. They soon noticed the two people walking in front and behind.

Logically speaking, it should be Li Guozhang, who is walking in front of him, but at this time, Zhang Polu is walking in front of him.

And seeing that he turned back from time to time, he probably was urging Mr. Li to hurry up.

More and more eyes looked at the palace gate, as if Mr. Li was even more beautiful than these pretty palace maids.

There were whispers again.

Zhao Dongting coughed softly before the whispers faded away.

The crowd watched Zhang Polu and Li Guozhu get closer and closer.

This look and this scene made Zhang Polu, who was walking in front, feel a little numb. He approached and ran to Zhao Dongting and said, "Your Majesty Li has arrived."

Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "You sit down too!"

"I?"

Zhang Polu was stunned.

Although he is a person around Zhao Dongting, he is just a small yellow sect.

Such a New Year banquet can only be watched by the side according to qualifications and status.

Zhao Dongting said: "I have an empty seat on this table, so you can sit here."

“Yes…yes.”

Zhang Polu was trembling, and this honor and favor came so scary.

It made his hair numb.

Li Guozhang's back was a little bent.

I don’t know when this happened. Remember that Li Guozhang’s back was still straight before.

Seeing Ying Er's father, Li Guozhang slowly walked towards the main table, many people present suddenly said such words.

"Long live the emperor..."                                                                                                                            

He lowered his head slightly, never lifted it up, and he didn't look at the side, and there seemed to be a slight sweat on his cheeks.

"Please sit down..." Zhao Dongting didn't say anything else, but just asked Patrick Li to sit down.

Mr. Li looked up, with a confused look in his eyes, and then swayed a few times.

He bowed deeply to Zhao Dongting and sat down in the empty seat next to Zhu Zongyao.

The banquet was not interrupted by his arrival, and the palace maids were still holding fruits to each table.

Zhao Dongting shouted: "Everyone, let's start..." Then he took the lead in picking up a fruit on the table.

After a few rounds of fruits, it was another appetizer. After several rounds, it had been at least two quarters of an hour.

Finally, the main course is served.

A plate of fragrant dishes were served on the table and the wine, and the atmosphere finally became quite warm at this time.

After the palace maids poured wine for everyone, Lu Xiufu led the way and raised his glass and said, "We respect the emperor, wishing the Song Dynasty a glorious life forever..."                                                                                                         �

Mr. Li also stood up, but his eyes never had any contact with Zhao Dongting.

The atmosphere became more and more lively as time passed.

Alcohol is indeed the best trigger. Even if everyone here is well-known, he will no longer be restrained and will start to laugh loudly.

It should be easy for the New Year.

There were only two people on the main table, one was Zhang Polu, and the other was Mr. Li, who always said nothing and looked up.

In fact, by this time, Zhao Dongting didn't have to wait for any real evidence to know whether Li Guozhang's affairs were true or not.

Just looking at Li Guozhang like this, thinking of the words he heard before, my heart suddenly became a little soft.

It is my responsibility to become like this.

"Boss-in-law..." Zhao Dongting shouted at Mr. Li.

Li Guozhang raised his head like a conditioned reflex and quickly lowered his voice, "At..."                                                   �

But this moment is enough.

Zhao Dongting saw what he wanted to see in his eyes.
