June 18th is the 68th birthday of Xiahouba, the Grand Master of Daxuan.
Although it was not a full birthday, the old teacher's birthday was of great significance to the Xiahou clan party. They intended to use this birthday to build momentum for the second prince and the Xiahou clan, creating an unparalleled grand occasion, oppressing the imperial party to fall apart and completely give up resistance.
Therefore, three days in advance, the Xiahou Valve started to prepare in full swing. They decorated the streets and alleys of Luodu City, regardless of north or south. In addition to flags, flowers and colorful building streamers, a flowing water table was set up every mile. As long as the people in the capital came in and shouted "The Grand Master will live forever," they could eat at will.
In the past three days, almost none of the civilians in Luodu City have opened fire and lived on the flowing mat of the Xiahou Valve. They all ate round and covered in greasy faces. Naturally, the whole city is filled with gratitude to the old teacher.
"The old teacher is so kind..."
"Yes, you must live for a hundred years..."
"The old teacher is healthy and long-lasting, which is the blessing of us ordinary people..."
Lu Xin sat in the carriage and could clearly hear the praises of the people through the carriage.
"Xiahou's clan has really invested a lot this time." He couldn't help but smile at the elder Lu Jie sitting opposite him, "It costs at least one million yuan to put out the three-day flowing mat."
"It's indeed a big deal, but the effect is surprisingly good." Lu Zhui smiled and said, "Sure enough, money can help the gods and can attract people's hearts. If the emperor and the old teacher have a conflict, public opinion will probably not stand on the emperor's side."
"That's right, it seems that the old teacher is also a little anxious and doesn't want to delay it indefinitely." Lu Xin said softly.
"Haha, it seems that this good show is inevitable, let's wait and see." Lu Jing nodded.
"That's right."
A cold light flashed in Lu Xin's eyes, and his hands were put into his sleeves. The two lords were now in power. Lu Xiu and others advised him not to come to celebrate his birthday in person, and let them be a representative to explain it. But Lu Xin has been busy for so long, how could he not witness the moment when the show was about to begin with his own eyes?
As the two of them talked, the carriage slowed down.
Lu Zhuo raised the curtains and looked out, and saw that there were three or four miles away from Xiahou Fangfang Gate. The wide street was already blocked by the traffic coming to celebrate the birthday. This was the result of Jingzhao Mansion sending people to maintain traffic, otherwise no car would have been over.
That grand occasion was more than twice as lively as Pei Qiu's birthday last year.
.
At this time, Xiahoufang had been flooded by the crowds of people coming to celebrate their birthdays.
Fortunately, the Xiahou House had expected it, so he practiced it in advance yesterday, so he could barely be busy without any confusion at this time. They led the guests who came to celebrate their birthday to various courtyards according to their relationship and status... They used the entire Xiahou House and set up dozens of banquets to entertain today's guests. There were enough servants at each banquet site, filled with tea and fruits, and thoughtfully set up a sunshade to resist the scorching sun for the guests.
What’s even more exaggerated is that in each pergola, there are ice cubes placed in the air, and the cost of this alone is as high as tens of thousands of chunks!
With the careful and meticulous preparation of Xiahou Far, although there were many guests, they were not upset. After entering the show under the guidance of Xiahou Far clans, people enjoyed the thoughtful service of the servants, tasted the delicious freshness, and chatted calmly, in a harmonious atmosphere.
There was also a harmonious atmosphere in Lingyun Hall. The senior officials of each family seemed to have forgotten the tension in the court and were not affected by the dispute over the country for many months. They sat together and chatted and laughed, and were as intimate as a family.
"Old Wei, we haven't sat together for a while." Xie Xun patted Wei Kang's arm intimately. "I can't let you go back easily today."
"That's right," Cui Yan also smiled and said, "It's finally easy to get together, I'll have a good drink later."
"Don't make a mistake for you two old guys, today is the birthday of the old teacher." Wei Kang said with a smile: "Let's not take the lead."
"Oh, I'll be happy after you drink it." Xiahou Ba closed his beard and smiled warmly, and said to Pei Du and Lu Xin: "You two are also relaxed, and you can do whatever you feel comfortable."
Lu Xin is a junior, and Pei Du has not returned to Luodu for more than ten years. The two of them are indeed a little out of place when they sit there. They smile and nodded when they hear this.
Dear masters, great elders, and great masters were eating tea and chatting. Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was almost noon.
Although the guests outside were not worried about food and drink, they secretly praised him, wondering why the old teacher was reluctant to hold the banquet?
The guest with a clear mind whispered: "It's probably waiting for the distinguished guests."
"What other distinguished guests can make the old teacher wait for a long time?" Everyone asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, will Your Majesty come?" Many people were stunned when they heard this. In theory, the emperor would not usually go to his ministers' homes to celebrate his birthday.
"Of course, you forgot that in the winter of last year, did Your Majesty go to Pei's birthday to celebrate?"
"Oh, by the way, by the way! Your Majesty did celebrate the birthday of the old Grandmaster Pei, and made an exception to appoint him as Prince of Fenyang." Everyone suddenly realized: "There is a car in front and a way behind. Your Majesty really cannot favor one or the other."
"Of course not, and at that time, His Majesty personally promised to be crowned king on the birthday of the Grand Master, add nine tinsels, and be promoted to the Datong Priest!"
"Yes, yes, this is indeed true. Recently, just watching the country's foundation, I forgot that there is still this thing." The guests suddenly became excited and said excitedly: "Your Majesty will not be angry, will you not come to the door?"
"Hehe, that's a pity for the old teacher." Many guests who were afraid of the world's chaos sneered and said, "There will be a good show when the time comes."
"Hey, it's better not to act like this kind of drama. If you are not careful, Quan Luo will be frightened and afraid." There are also those timid and afraid people who are calves unconsciously turned their minds: "Everyone is so kind, can't they live a good life?"
"Natural..." The wise man was merciless and exposed their fantasy: "The storm is about to come and the wind is everywhere, and a big chaos is inevitable."
As he said that, the man ate a bite of the iced Xizhou honey melon, and the juice splashed everywhere in his mouth: "Everyone should drink wine today, so enjoy it in time!"
The guests were right. Xiahou Ba was waiting for the Chu Shi Emperor. He had made up his mind that if the Chu Shi Emperor didn't come today, he would not start the banquet even if it was dark.
Even deep in his heart, he still vaguely expects the First Emperor to not show up. This shows that Huangfu Yu is cowardly and afraid. What else should he worry about with such an opponent? He defeated him in one go and changed his dynasty!
Just as the guests were whispering, they heard a loud singing coming from outside the gate.
