Chapter 893 Emperor's Heart
People's hearts are unpredictable, even their own children have selfish or evil intentions, let alone others?
And the most unpredictable human heart in this world is the emperor's heart.
The emperor sits on the world, crosses the world with his hands, coughs twice and hears that the Wanmin Palace will turn into thunder and roar, shaking the world in panic.
This is not a joke, and it is not expansionary at all. In the old Jing Dynasty, the emperor had such great prestige and ability.
The Blue Moon Festival happens every year, and it is March 25th. No matter how the customs change everywhere, eating blue moon cakes during the Blue Moon Festival is the top priority of this day. Even prisoners on death row will share a mouthful of blue moon cakes on this day, and beggars on the street can also beg for blue moon cakes in shops to eat as much as they want.
So is the Blue Moon Festival unusual? In fact, it is not unusual, but people are lazy, and they have to get up early and stay late all year round, and the Blue Moon Festival just gives people an excuse to be lazy.
In addition, this year's Blue Moon Festival does have a reason to celebrate, to celebrate the new atmosphere of the new emperor, and also to celebrate the great victory of the South.
Of course, the so-called "excuse for being lazy" is for most ordinary people. The higher you stand, the less room for "lazy". Not to mention the person standing at the pinnacle of secular power in this world.
Yang Shu has his own ways, he has not been taken seriously since he was a child, and neither his emotions nor his ideas dare to let others know easily, so he can only do things quietly without publicity. After that, he built a mansion as an adult, then fought for the "big test", and finally ascended the throne as emperor. He has never changed his restrained or insidious character along this road. And always thought it was his reliance.
After ascending the throne, the former emperor Yang Jian did not teach Yang Shu any "emperor art", and the only one handed over was "Chi". Now Yang Shu is not to mention being lazy, the lazy bed will be tidied up.
So for the Blue Moon Festival, there is actually no reason for Yang Shu to relax.
The feast for the ministers was just a means by Yang Shu. On the one hand, he was congratulating the great victory in the south, and on the other hand, it was also sending a signal to the people of the world: Don't be nervous, the world is stable, let's live well.
Live well! Three seemingly simple words are not simple. At least Yang Shu has a deep understanding now.
The "redness" on his chest seemed to be growing, and it was already the size of two palms, and the constant pain became more and more intense. Even if Yang Shu didn't want to stay in the warm soup of Fu'an Palace often, he couldn't help it, otherwise he would have to sleep. Affected.
As for having sex with the queen, Yang Shu hadn't thought about it for a long time. Firstly, it was inconvenient to see the "redness" on his chest, and he felt awkward if he was wearing clothes or using a magic circle to cover it up, and the pain continued, always distracting him. He would only ask for more times unless he held it in for a long time. Of course not to the queen alone, but to the current concubines of his previous concubines.
There are endless things to do every day, and endless seals to sign. Don't dare to be careless about everything, and you must carefully consider it over and over again. Fortunately, the Chinese Academy helped a lot, so that Yang Shu didn't have to think about everything from the beginning. After sorting out, he picked the one he thought was suitable from the several choices given by the Chinese Academy, signed it and put it down for processing.
Even on the Blue Moon Festival, Yang Shu still has to be busy from morning till night.
Tomorrow is March 25th, and the big banquet in front of Wanmin Palace is getting better and better amidst the sound of silk and bamboo. There are not only banquets on the square, but also a slightly higher stage, where the dance team from the palace will perform on stage. While drinking and eating food, watching dances and listening to music, and talking to colleagues in a low voice, most people think that although this state banquet is difficult to eat, it is not useless.
Yang Shu ate vegetables by himself, and poured wine by himself. Originally, all these were done by eunuchs, but he didn't like it, he liked to do it himself. As for eating, wouldn't it be useless for people to wait until they have to be served by others?
While others were watching the singing and dancing, Yang Shu was watching them.
Although his cultivation base is not high, Yang Shu has learned a pupil technique, a very simple one, which allows him to see farther and more clearly.
The songs and dances in the palace are not worth watching. Yang Shu saw many songs and dances when he was traveling around in the early years. But it seems that the people below are watching with relish.
Some ministers are not in the scope of Yang Shu's "observation", and he will not pay attention to those "little officials". He was mainly looking at the two rows of seats that were closer.
The busiest table was undoubtedly the one where the Left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng was. The voice was loud, laughing, chatting and tasting wine, and it seemed that some people even drank and sang to fulfill the drinking orders.
The people at the other tables looked at Ye Lansheng's table from time to time, and if they finally met Ye Lansheng's eyes, they quickly raised their glasses to respect Ye Lansheng from afar. If it weren't for the fact that the state banquet was not allowed to leave easily, I don't know how many people would go to Ye Lansheng to toast.
The corners of Yang Shu's mouth turned up slightly, and then he looked away from Ye Lansheng. Can he still not understand Ye Lansheng's current situation? From the day he established the Chinese Academy and spun off the functions of the Chinese Academy from the Zuoxiang Mansion, Ye Lansheng, the Zuoxiang, had no chance to stand up. Just because he didn't move, doesn't mean he forgot, he is not a tolerant person, it's just that there is still an opportunity missing.
If you want to do it, you have to make a big one! A mere Ye Lansheng is not enough for Yang Shuli, he needs a bigger goal. Of course, Ye Lansheng would be a good excuse. Otherwise, Yang Shu would not uncharacteristically put Ye Lansheng in the second place in this state banquet invitation.
Looking away, I saw another table next to Ye Lansheng. This table was also very interesting, in stark contrast to the lively atmosphere at Ye Lansheng's table.
A table of people ate food with their heads down, like dumb people. If you look closely, you can see that several people's faces are tense and their foreheads are sweaty, and they look like they are suffering. These are still third-rank and even senior officials from second rank. It is reasonable to say that they should not be so embarrassed, but there is still one person sitting at the table, and this person is at the same table, and the surrounding people behave like this.
Pang Ban, the person that the whole country is least willing to mention, is often associated with words such as "insidious, vicious, arrogant, poisonous snake."
When eating with Pang Daren, I worry about not holding the chopsticks properly and being marked down by the other party. And it is not a good thing to be recorded by a huge person.
The corners of Yang Shu's mouth turned up again, he was satisfied with Pang Ban's power. But satisfaction is satisfaction, but Yang Shu didn't feel that Xuan Qingwei had played all the roles he should have had. He even thought that Xuan Qingwei always hiding in the dark would not be so beneficial to deal with some matters.
So Yang Shu was drugged by Xuan Qingwei while taking advantage of the national war rewards, and the result was not bad. Xuan Qingwei didn't have any special feedback, everything was very docile, even Pang Ban was very obedient.
Whether the knife is easy to use depends first on whether it will cut your own hands. Afterwards, he waved to others.
