    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1313

    It was almost noon when the grand canonization ceremony ended, and a sumptuous luncheon was prepared in the palace.

    "Your Majesty has a decree to celebrate with the whole world, and to reward you all with a palace banquet. Please move to the Xihua Hall to attend the banquet!"

    When everyone was thinking about where to celebrate after the ceremony, the voice of the ceremony officer sounded in the distance.

    "Your Majesty is really thoughtful, and even gave a banquet."

    "Walk, walk, this is the royal banquet of the palace, and you can't eat it if you want to eat it on weekdays."

    Hearing that Chen Ziang hosted a banquet for them in the palace, everyone was also full of excitement, calling their friends to go to the West Flower Hall.

    Especially those people who were invited here, merchants and others were also lucky enough to eat in the palace, and they felt quite flattered.

    The entire imperial palace occupies a very large area, and the West Flower Hall was originally built for the function of banquets.

    The entire West Flower Hall is enough to accommodate thousands of people to eat at the same time, and at this moment, delicious dishes full of fragrance are put on the table.

    Under the guidance of the servants, the civil servants and military generals and the invited guests sat down at the banquet in the West Flower Hall one after another.

    The Mingyue Restaurant and Yunxi Restaurant in the imperial capital were in charge of the palace banquet. All their chefs arrived in the palace early to prepare.

    The chefs of Mingyue Restaurant and Yunxi Restaurant are well-known, so the dishes they make are also delicious.

    But after all, thousands of people dined at the same time. In order to avoid extravagance and waste, Chen Ziang ordered eight dishes and one soup.

    Although the number of dishes seems to be small, the quality is guaranteed enough, and it is definitely top-notch.

    Amidst the cheerful and relaxed sound of silk and bamboo, with the speech of Qin An, the chief of the General Affairs Department, the banquet officially began.

    In fact, for everyone, it doesn't matter whether the food is good or not. Being able to eat in the palace is a great honor in itself.

    Everyone participated in the canonization ceremony in the morning, and all the civil servants and generals were awarded corresponding titles.

    So everyone is in a very happy mood at the moment, so it is naturally delicious to eat.

    There is also a bottle of exquisite Yunxi wine on each table, which makes those upstarts who like fine wine smile.

    In a cheerful and peaceful atmosphere, everyone raised their glasses and toasted, eating very lively.

    "This Yunxi wine is so delicious!"

    Buzhigude, the new great Khan of the Prairie Tribe, took a sip of Yunxi Wine. The aroma of the wine was so strong that he couldn't help but praise it loudly.

    Although he has drank Yunxi wine many times, every time he drinks this mellow wine, Briggood feels excited.

    "As long as Da Khan likes it, we can ask His Majesty later to expand production and let Yunxi wine enter the grassland."

    Seeing that Buzhigude likes Yunxi wine, Feng Yang, the second-rank Duke sitting beside him, also smiled.

    "That would be great!"

    Thinking of being able to drink such fine wine every day in the future, Briggood also showed excitement on his face.

    "We can exchange cattle, sheep, and horses for Yunxi wine." Brigud Lang said.

    "That would be great, for our future cooperation, cheers!"

    Feng Yang smiled and raised his glass to Briggood, who also raised his glass and touched him crisply, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

    ?Everyone toasted their cups and ate at the imperial banquet, and their mouths were full of oil, and the entire West Flower Hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

    "Your Majesty is here!"

    When everyone was eating to their heart's content, the voice of the ceremony official sounded at the door.

    When everyone heard that Chen Ziang had also participated, they all put down their bowls and chopsticks to welcome Chen Ziang.

    "Everyone, please sit down, eat and drink well, and have enough wine and meat!"

    Chen Ziang was also in a happy mood when he saw the lively scene. He changed from the majesty at the canonization ceremony just now, and became amiable.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    "Your Majesty, I have to toast you with a glass of wine!"

    "Yes, Fatty Lu wouldn't be where I am today without Your Majesty. This glass of wine is respectful!"

    Those common people and merchants seemed restrained, but those brothers who had fought side by side with Chen Ziang were not so restrained, and there was a burst of applause and booing.

    "Serve the wine!"

    Chen Ziang also let go of his emperor's stance.??, people served drinks, ready to have fun with the people.

    Chen Ziang walked around the tables with a wine glass, seeing that the emperor Chen Ziang was so approachable, even toasting at the table, many merchants and common people were flattered.

    And those old brothers from the Qinghe Army also cheered happily, as if they had returned to the time when they moved to various places together, drinking and eating meat.

    "Fatty, you are now the Duke of the country, you have to pay attention to your image in the future, don't embarrass me."

    Seeing Fatty Lu holding a wine glass in one hand and a drumstick in the other, Chen Ziang couldn't help laughing and cursing.

    "Hey, the banquet rewarded by His Majesty is delicious." Fatty Lu laughed straight.

    Seeing Chen Ziang joking with Fatty Lu, everyone showed envy.

    After Chen Ziang bumped into Fatty Lu, he immediately walked to another table.

    "Friends from far away, I hope we can get along with each other in the future and create a peaceful and prosperous world."

    Chen Ziang also clinked wine glasses with Burigold, who came from afar, under the guidance of the Duke Feng Yang, and expressed his desire for peace.

    "His Majesty the Emperor, our grasslands are all simple and hospitable, and we are willing to make peace with the Far East."

    The purpose of Burigude's trip to the imperial capital in person this time is also to get the assistance of the empire to fight against the Golden Horde.

    Now seeing Chen Ziang coming to the front in person, besides being happy, he also appeared extraordinarily respectful.

    His Majesty Chen Ziang held a glass of wine and toasted Li Qiye, Qin An and other important officials at the table.

    From time to time, he would grab a few old brothers for a chat, and chat with merchants, appearing to be able to do a job with ease.

    After the cheerful luncheon, the satiated crowd moved to the tower of the imperial city again.

    The only gate entrance of the imperial city corresponds to the central square of the imperial capital. Everyone is condescending enough to overlook the entire square.

    ? When everyone boarded the imperial city tower, the vast central square was already crowded with people, and it was so crowded that the soldiers of the imperial capital who maintained order were sweating profusely.

    "let's start."

    Chen Ziang saw that the time was almost up, so he turned his head and told Qin An.

    Qin An waved his hand, and the twenty cowhide war drums placed on both sides of the Imperial City Tower rang.

    The dull sound of war drums pierced through heaven and earth, through time and space, and the noisy central square suddenly fell silent, and a murderous atmosphere began to fill the air.

    Soon, dull and orderly footsteps came from Xuanwu Street, north of the central square.

    Amidst the fluttering banners, 3,000 elite veterans of the Guards Corps of the Qinghe Army, who took the lead, came in a neat queue, striding forward with their heads held high.

    Following the phalanx of elite veterans of the 3,000 Guards Corps, there were heavily armed military formations one after another. They followed closely behind and marched towards the central square.

    Chen Zi'ang wanted to hold a small military parade during the grand canonization ceremony, in order to show off his vigorous military might, shock the surroundings, and at the same time inspire people and enhance the cohesion of the empire.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
