Chapter 420 Final Preparations 1

A group of young people started having a banquet in the back garden in the afternoon and lasted until midnight before they dispersed!

Du Long will definitely stay in Xia Mansion tonight. As for all his friends, they have also been invited. Those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who have something to do can leave first. There is no force!

Most of the people were so drunk that they chose to sleep in the nearby Xia Mansion for one night. However, the eldest prince Yuan Guang, Wei Yiming and Jin Gui chose to leave.

Jin Mansion, when Jin Gui arrived outside the gate of Jin Mansion under the carriage and horses sent by Xia Mansion to see him off, Jin Gui's parents had already heard the news and rushed out excitedly.

After giving some gold coins and politely sending the carriage and horse away, Father Jin and Mother Jin ordered their servants to help the young master in quickly!

In the hall of Jin's Mansion, while ordering his servants to prepare ginseng tea to relieve the hangover, the two elders couldn't wait to ask Jin Gui about the details of his trip. So, the boy proudly recounted everything that had happened in the past two days. Again.

"Okay, great!" After finally being patient enough to listen to his precious son's statement, Jin's father slapped his thigh hard and said "good" twice.

"Guier! Your performance today is so good that daddy didn't expect it! It seems that our grandson has finally grown up!" Father Jin rarely praised his precious son like this.

"Hehe! Daddy, to be honest, when I first arrived at the gate of Du Mansion today, I heard the voices of kings, marquises, generals, and ministers signing up, and my child's legs were so frightened!

My mother-in-law! I have always thought that those fifth-grade officials are amazing! I never thought... that my child would be able to accompany Ninth Brother today and toast with the princes and generals?

Especially when the child first informed the people of the Du Mansion of his identity and name, when they called out the child's name loudly, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. I was afraid that when I went in, Ninth Brother wouldn't recognize me, or might be in trouble. Ignore your identity and ignore the child!

But the child never expected that Brother Ninth... actually came to welcome the child in person in front of countless people!

well!

From that moment on, I secretly swore that, in line with Brother Ninth's affection for me, from now on my child would no longer be able to fool around. Only then can you really hold your head high! "

Father Jin and Mother Jin all looked at their precious son with excited faces. To be honest, seeing their son suddenly become so sensible was more gratifying than him making friends with Generalissimo Du Long, King of Martial Arts!

"Gui'er! Well said! You are already in your twenties, a big man! It's time to grow up!" Mother Jin's eyes filled with tears, and she looked at her precious son with a loving smile. What a pity for the hearts of parents in the world!

"By the way! Dad, when we were in Xia Mansion today, Brother Ninth asked the child what kind of industry our family was in!" Jin Gui spent a long time talking before he remembered this.

"Then how do you answer him?" Jin's father was shaken and asked hurriedly.

"At that moment, the child remembered what dad told me, and he did what you told him!" Jin Gui said proudly.

"Very good! How did King Wu Du Long answer?" Jin's father asked again.

"He said there was some cooperation with the Beilin Chamber of Commerce. He also said that he would send someone in a few days to invite us, father and son, to go out and meet a few people. At that time, we, the Jin family, would be allowed to participate in the Beilin Chamber of Commerce's industry in the Haotian Empire!" Jin Gui responded truthfully.

For a moment, Father Jin was stunned, as if an ordinary person had been hit by a gold bar falling from the sky, with a look of surprise and ecstasy on his face!

The day after the homecoming banquet at Xia Mansion is the annual New Year’s Eve celebration, which is New Year’s Eve!

This year's New Year's celebration is of great significance to Haotian Empire and Star Continent!

In the past year, the Blue Moon Empire had planned for many years to destroy the Haotian Empire, but failed. Instead, it was destroyed by Haotian. At this point, the new Haotian Empire was born!

Therefore, this New Year’s Eve is also the first New Year’s Eve for the birth of the New Haotian Empire, and its significance can be imagined!

Early in the morning, when it was dark and dark, Du Long and others were woken up by someone sent by Xia Ye and his wife. There was no way, Du Long was the protagonist of this year's New Year's celebration and he couldn't be absent!

All the young people living in Xia Mansion, after hurriedly finishing their breakfast, said goodbye to Xia Ye and his wife, went back to their respective mansions, and rushed to the palace with their families to prepare for the New Year celebration!

For this New Year celebration, Emperor Haotian not only invited civil and military officials and their families, but also invited envoys from various countries to the palace to celebrate together, including of course the friendly envoys led by Yuan Guang, the eldest prince of Xixia!

In addition to inviting envoys from various countries, Haotian Empire also sent invitations to major chambers of commerce, major noble lords, etc. Among them, the four major families of Beilin Chamber of Commerce who participated in Dulong's wedding banquet and still stayed in Haotian Capital City have not left. , Su Dabao, the major shareholder of Baolong Chamber of Commerce, etc., all received the invitation letter.

Therefore, for this year's Haotian New Year's Day, Yuan Yu and Su Jinbao were able to enter the Haotian Palace and participate in this grand event together under the names of Xixia Mission and Baolong Chamber of Commerce!

From Du Mansion, convoys with Du family badges kept driving out and headed straight for the Haotian Palace!

In the entire Du family, almost all the second-generation children are serving as generals in the court. Therefore, almost all the children of the Du family can participate in this grand event. This shows how grand this year's Haotian New Year's celebration is!

Out of gratitude for Jin Gui's gift of the Xuanwu Key, Du Long sent someone to pick him out and meet him at the gate of the palace, ready to take this brat into the palace to experience it too!

At the gate of the palace, Jin Gui got directly onto the carriage that Du Long was riding in. Then, when the palace guards checked his identity, Du Long just said lightly: "This is my good brother! Today is the New Year's Day. Let's take him in." The palace is lively!"

With just a few words, the palace guards let him go knowingly. He was now a very popular King Wu with a different surname. It was not too much to bring a friend into the palace to see him during the New Year!

When Jin Gui entered the palace, he could hardly see enough. Even when the car window was blocked by a high wall, he could still enjoy the view. It really felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden!

"Hey! Xiao Jingui!" Huo Feng originally thought that this guy was looking at some beautiful scenery, so he turned his head and glanced out the car window, and said depressedly on the spot.

"Ah..." Jin Gui reacted a little slowly: "The princess is talking to the young one?"

"You brat! Now that your husband treats you as a brother, stop calling yourself younger!" Huofeng waved his hand and then continued: "I see that the view outside the car window has been blocked by the palace wall. What are you looking at? What is it? Are you looking at it with so much interest?"

"Hehe! Little...Jin Gui never thought in his dreams that he would be able to enter the palace one day, so he is very curious about everything here!" Jin Gui could only scratch his head and chuckle.

Suddenly rolling his eyes, Huofeng said angrily: "Does everything you said include this boring palace wall?"

"Hahaha!" Du Long laughed and explained for Jin Gui: "Xiao Feng! How can you, a little princess who grew up in the palace compound, understand that there are so many people outside the palace walls who never dare to dream of having a chance? How do you feel about going to the palace??"

"Brother Ninth is right! These ordinary people really can't even dream of it!" Jin Gui nodded empathetically.

In the carriage, while Du Long and several young people were chatting and joking, they entered a small square in the palace. All carriages entering the palace had to stop here.

After getting off the carriage, a palace eunuch came forward and said respectfully: "I have seen the princess's consort! Congratulations to the princess's consort on her wedding! Since there are many people celebrating the New Year this year, only those with rank or the heads of envoys from various countries can enter the main hall. In addition, the rest of the family members will all go to the banquet square to rest together."

Turning over his hand and handing over a gold ticket with a face value of one hundred gold coins, this guy was quite clever and actually knew to take the opportunity to congratulate him. Naturally, Du Long couldn't be polite.

"Thank you, Prince Consort, for the reward!" The man accepted the golden ticket excitedly.

"Since the palace has arranged it like this, Xiaofeng, you take Qinglian and Jingui, join your mother, grandmother and other Du family members, and go to the banquet square together! I will follow my father and the others to the main hall! Once things are done here, we will I will rush to the Banquet Square with the Emperor and all the officials!" Du Long then confessed to Huofeng.

"Don't worry! This is my territory, and I will never lose anyone! Hee hee!" Huo Feng patted his chest and assured confidently.

In the main hall of the palace, all the civil and military officials were beaming with joy. After seeing the generals of all ranks of the Du family entering the palace, they all raised their hands and said hello!

Du Long naturally followed his father and returned the favor politely. The civil and military officials had a banquet in Du Mansion the day before yesterday. They were all familiar with them. It was really tiring to deal with them all in one trip!

In short, this year's New Year's celebration, without the Fan family, the atmosphere in the entire court was obviously more harmonious, and the tense relationships between the various factions, which were infighting between the factions, disappeared.

Of course, the big factional disputes are gone for the time being, but the small squabbles and fights below are definitely indispensable!

Under the watchful eyes of all the civil and military officials, a funny scene occurred. Du Zhentian still stayed in the first-level martial arts area, but his son arrived in the first-level military area!

It is not easy to get this level of military position. According to the Haotian system, there is only one first-level official, and that is the left and right civil and military prime ministers. The other second-level civil and military generals, no matter how great your merits are, cannot reach the first-level official rank.

Of course, there are two exceptions. One is that the left and right abdicate and you are squeezed in; the other is that you, like Du Long, become a king with a different surname!

A king with a different surname enjoys the same treatment as a prince of the current dynasty. His official rank is not as high as that of a first-class official, but his status is one level higher. This is the majesty of a king!

Of course, in terms of prestige and power, the one with the greatest authority is of course the one on the dragon throne!

If you can't go up to the first-grade official rank, many people can only be rewarded in other aspects, such as being promoted to a noble title, being granted a territory, being rewarded with money, etc., no matter how many military exploits they have!

Therefore, Du Zhentian has reached the top position as the commander of the second-grade army!

As a father, he can only rank behind his monster son in terms of military positions. This is why he always likes to say that being such a monster father is very depressing!

Soon, the emperor and the empress came to court together. It was not much different from the New Year celebrations in previous years. This year, there were only more rewards for some meritorious ministers, congratulations on the birth of the Haotian Empire, etc.!

Under the leadership of the empress, the civil and military officials followed closely behind, and went to worship heaven and ancestors, praying for good weather for the Haotian Empire in the coming year, peace for the country, and peace for the people, etc.!

Finally, of course, there was the New Year's Eve dinner. After toasting to the emperor and empress, a group of young people from Du Long gathered together in a corner where young people gather every year, and started feasting!
