However, the real climax came when the sky, which had been clear for several days, began to snow again...Hu Yin, who was particularly good at eating duck, was probably really drunk. He stood up and wrote a poem regardless of anything. On the one hand, he summarized the New Year's Eve, and on the other hand, he missed the "Two Saints" who were nowhere to be found by Zhao Jiu at this time. In the end, he tearfully urged Emperor Zhao to succeed in resisting the Jin army as soon as possible, to attack Huanglong, and to bring back the Two Saints!
This is an irrefutable political slogan, and Zhao Jiu cannot change it easily before he establishes absolute authority. Moreover, it is more or less anti-Jin and is aimed at attacking Huanglongfu directly. It is absolutely on the right track. Even if it is to welcome back the two saints, it can shut up many scholars and officials. Of course, Zhao Jiu had to stand up with a serious expression and lead the civil and military officials of the Huainan camp to solemnly accept it!
After this incident, the snowflakes became heavier, and Zhao Jiu specifically ordered the army to be careful and to assign sufficient personnel to patrol the camps and river banks and keep a close eye on the supplies.
Now that the order had been issued, there was no intention of continuing the banquet in the small tent on the top of the mountain. However, it was New Year's Day, so the ban in the camp was lifted. If the civil and military officials wanted to drink privately again, they could return to the camp and drink there. It would not be a problem.
So, in the snow, everyone gradually turned their eyes to the head of the ministers on the trip, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Lü Haowen, waiting for this minister to lead everyone to say goodbye.
The good-tempered Lu Xianggong did not waste everyone's time. After another round of drinking, he stood up, still drunk, and slowly walked to the table where Zhao Jiu was sitting in the curtain and bowed his head:
"Your Majesty, tonight is New Year's Eve, and we should have a feast until dawn, with the king and his subjects enjoying themselves. However, we are facing a powerful enemy, and we are in a military camp, so we should not drink excessively... I am old, and I cannot handle the alcohol. Please go back to the camp to rest, and be a bad guy for a while. Please end the feast and go back to the camp."
Now that the prime minister had spoken, all the other civil and military officials left their desks and followed him in requesting to stop drinking.
Of course, Zhao Jiu had nothing to say, so he stood up and left the table, but he took the opportunity to support the staggering Lu Haowen, and actually wanted to personally escort the prime minister back to the newly built wooden barracks next to the small village on the top of the mountain.
This is a great favor, and there is harmony between the emperor and his subjects.
However, just as the two of them were walking slowly in the snow and finally reached the barracks on the other side of the small camp, and the many generals behind them finally breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Xianggong, who was about to enter the room, suddenly turned around and touched the official's sleeve, then shook his head and sighed:
"You have to tie up the sleeves when wearing a robe. Isn't it too tight?"
Zhao Jiu didn't react for a moment, and just answered casually: "It is indeed much more convenient to tie the sleeves."
Lu Haowen had no choice but to touch the official's waist again: "Why haven't I seen the official wearing a futou and jade belt for a long time? Have you lost so many things?"
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and finally realized what the other party meant. He smiled slightly and directly retorted: "Mr. Lu is drunk. The emperor is the commander of the world. When he is on the battlefield, he must be prepared to wear armor at all times, right? Jade belts and futou are not appropriate now."
Hearing this, Lu Haowen finally let go, but pointed at the futou on his head and laughed awkwardly: "In that case, it is my head that is out of place."
At this moment, Zhao Jiu felt a little embarrassed, but he had to laugh to cover it up. He asked the eunuch to take Lu Haowen and send him into the room. Then he turned around and waved, asking the ministers to disperse, and then slowly returned to the Beiluan royal tent.
