Chapter 127 Accident
Seeing Zhang Qi walking in, Lu Qi waved his hand to call a friend waiting at the door of the building and ordered him to let Zhang Qi sit at the table with the five tribute students. Since Zhang Qi was a surrendered minister in the Tang Dynasty, he would be depressed when sitting with Zhou Chen. If he was with the five tribute students, he would be condescending.
Seeing Zhang Wei, Lu Qi suddenly remembered Wei Hao, but he forgot to ask about Wei Hao's situation. Wei Hao once served as the chief of the fifth-rank Rao Prefecture, and later returned to Jiangning. However, because Lu Qi had a lot of things, he ignored Wei Hao's existence and did not know what position Wei Hao had transferred to Jiangning.
Two more famous people from Kaifeng Prefecture were welcomed, but King Ji who was waiting for Lu Qi had not arrived yet. If King Ji could not come, he would have asked someone to inform him, and Lu Qi could only wait patiently.
It was almost noon, and Lu Qi knew that it was not good to neglect the guests in the restaurant in order to wait for King Ji. He called his friend, gave a few instructions, and then went into Xifeng Tower. There were no guests on the first floor, so Lu Qi went straight to the second floor of the Lu Guang Pavilion.
Lu Qi came up and the night light pavilion was quiet. Lu Qi walked up and greeted him, smiling and said, "I am here to welcome guests, but I have been waiting for you for a long time. Xifeng Tower will open today. Thank you for your visit."
The visitors raised their hands and bowed, and Lu Qi smiled and said, "Everyone, I am a general, but I also like people who have gained wealth through business. I hope you can take care of my business in the future."
Seeing the guests nodding, Lu Qi turned his head and ordered: "Have a banquet."
The guys immediately took action and delivered grape wine luminous cups in an orderly manner on a tray. One exquisite luminous cup was filled with most of the bright red wine and delivered it to every guest. In the luminous pavilion, everyone's expressions were either amazed, unexpected, or ecstatic. They never thought that General Lu would actually deliver grape wine with a luminous cup.
Lu Qi stood with a smile. He collected more than 1,000 luminous cups in Hexi and Beiting. He brought 300 this time, which was enough to cope with the hospitality of Xifenglou. Of course, he also sold luminous cups, but only took out at the jade shop.
Suddenly the stairs sounded sharply, and Lu Qi turned around in a daze, but saw a man in a military uniform rushing up to a military uniform. When the man saw Lu Qi, he hurriedly walked away to the front military salute: "Greetings to the general, please go downstairs to pick him up quickly."
Lu Qi was stunned. He suddenly understood that because he had seen the person coming, it was Chengzhi Banzhi in the palace. He quickly turned around and said, "Everyone, please don't drink, please get up and wait, don't make noise."
"Zhongfei, Uncle Yun, follow me." Lu Qi then ordered. After saying that, he turned around and walked downstairs quickly. Emperor Zhou actually came, which surprised him.
Lu Qi ran downstairs and rushed out of Xifeng Tower. When he arrived outside the building, he saw more than 20 military guards in official clothes running slowly, protecting an exquisite car. He hurriedly walked for more than ten steps and stood with his hands down.
Soon, Shi Zhongfei and Yun Jindong also ran out and quickly stood behind Lu Qi on the right side. They also looked at the car unexpectedly. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor had not left the palace for ten years.
Seeing Wu Wei and his car arrive at Xifeng Tower and stop, Wu Wei opened the car door and a young man in brocade clothes got out of the car first, but it was King Ji. King Ji smiled at Lu Qiyi and turned around to help a graceful middle-aged man in brocade robe, who was the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
"I am Lu Tianfeng, please welcome Your Majesty." Lu Qi knelt on one knee, and the cross-armed army paid a visit. Shi Zhongfei and Yun Jindong also followed him silently. In fact, Lu Qi is the Minister of Rites, so he can just welcome him with rituals.
The Emperor of Zhou looked at Lu Qi with gentle eyes. The first side of leaving the palace gave him a little favor to Lu Tianfeng. Lu Tianfeng's military salute kneeled to greet him, which gave him an inexplicable comfort as the emperor. Lu Tianfeng's extreme respect invisibly enhanced the imperial authority, and red flowers also needed green leaves to support him.
"Please calm down." Emperor Zhou said gently.
Lu Qi paused his head and stood up. He walked naturally to the left of Emperor Zhou, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty was able to come to Xifeng Tower, which was really a frightening thing for me, and it was also a blessing for me."
"It was King Ji who asked to go, but after hearing this, I was very quiet and thoughtful, so I went out for a walk." Emperor Zhou smiled and said, "The gentle one was an elder.
"Your Majesty, please." Lu Qi respectfully and solemnly.
However, the Emperor of Zhou looked up at Xifeng Tower, looked for a while before saying, "I came to Bianhe before and saw this restaurant, but I have never been in it. The appearance of this restaurant still seems to be the same."
"This restaurant was originally from the Duke of Runan County. According to Qingfengju's manager, he could buy it for 40,000 yuan. I gave it 50,000 yuan, but I didn't want to gain a reputation for oppression." Lu Qi said.
The Emperor Zhou nodded and said, "I know that the Duke of Runan County has long wanted to sell this building, but no one wants to buy it. I have already allowed the Duke of Runan County to move to Jianghuai."
"That's my recklessness." Lu Qi said guiltyly.
"It's okay, it's been decades, and there's no need to be taboos." Emperor Zhou responded.
Lu Qi was silent, and the Emperor of Zhou walked over. He and King Ji followed him on the left and right. As soon as they entered the Xifeng Tower, they saw everyone kneeling. The Emperor of Zhou stopped and looked at the scenery before taking a step to the stairs.
I went up the second floor along the stairs, and it was also a scene of kneeling when I saw that the diners were on the second floor, so they seemed very solemn. The Emperor of Zhou glanced at him and said peacefully: "Everyone is free from courtesy."
"Thank you, long live my emperor." All the officials responded, and of course the officials knew the etiquette.
Seeing more than seventy people getting up and standing respectfully, the Zhou Emperor said peacefully: "I am very quiet today and I am very impressed to move. I will go out and have a walk, so I will sit there casually."
The respectful people were informed by the officials and took the seat carefully. The emperor asked him to sit down, but how dare he disobey the order? After sitting down, they could also see the emperor's beauty. You must know that the Zhou emperor had not left the palace for ten years, and in the hearts of the military and civilians of Kaifeng Prefecture, it is certain that he admired him, but if he said fear, he was far inferior to those of the real power officials of Kaifeng Prefecture.
The Zhou Emperor looked peaceful, and Lu Qi said at the right time: "Your Majesty, this second floor is the Luminous Pavilion, and the third floor is the Lunyue Pavilion. Please climb up to the high ground and taste wine."
Emperor Zhou smiled and nodded. Lu Tianfeng said very appropriately, and there should be no guests on the third floor. He took a step and climbed the stairs to the third floor. When he saw that there was no one, the temperature in Xifeng Tower was very pleasant. He really felt unwilling to leave when he entered.
"Okay, what's the good place." Emperor Zhou said, but he walked to the east pavilion window.
Lu Qi hurriedly followed and arrived at the pavilion window. He pushed open the carved paper-paste pavilion window first. As soon as the pavilion window opened, the cold wind blew into his face, but the world outside the window caught his eye, and there was a comfortable and broad artistic conception.
"This window is open, I don't like closed places." Emperor Zhou said gently, Lu Qi nodded and reached out to lock the pavilion window.
Emperor Zhou turned around and chose a prescription table to sit down, and smiled and said, "Today I am here to taste wine, let Banzhi and the officials come up and have fun with me."
Shi Zhongfei took the order and the Zhou Emperor asked Lu Qi, King Ji and Yun Jindong to sit together. Lu Qi sued the crime and left, but went to get the luminous cup and the best wine in person. After returning, he put a crystal clear luminous cup in front of the Zhou Emperor, then placed the other three luminous cups, and then took a big-bellied porcelain bottle and poured wine for the luminous cup in front of the Zhou Emperor.
After putting down the big-bellied porcelain bottle, Lu Qi took another pottery jar to pour wine for Yun Jindong. Yun Jindong hurriedly got up and wanted to take the jar. Lu Qi smiled and shook his head. Yun Jindong had to sit down, but he was obviously restrained.
After pouring wine for Yun Jindong, Lu Qi threw the wine jar to King Ji. King Ji took it naturally and poured the wine himself in the jar. Emperor Zhou looked at it with a smile, with no fluctuations in his expression.
"Your Majesty, I respect your Majesty and taste wine." Lu Qi held the luminous cup in both hands and said gently after looking at the Emperor of Zhou.
Emperor Zhou nodded, reached out to take the cup and drank it lightly, then squinted his eyes and tasted it. After a while, he nodded and said, "It's true."
Lu Qi smiled, turned his head and turned his cup to toast King Ji and Yun Jindong. The three of them tasted it together and put down the cup. Emperor Zhou was watching the luminous cup in his hand. He could naturally see that the luminous cup in his hand would definitely be much higher than the one in King Cao.
"Tianfeng, there are not many luminous cups in your hand." King Ji asked.
"If Your Highness wants it, it will definitely be gone. This luminous cup of the best Hetian jade is a treasure of the Uighur King. It should be an ancient treasure. The pattern on it seems to be the style before the Tang Dynasty." Lu Qi replied.
