The rise of the prince

Chapter 728 Speech
Along the way, Yan Shen told him a lot about Xia Guo's situation.

Gradually, Li Xingzhou also came to a judgment in his heart, he could not intervene at this time, the civil war started, no side had a clear advantage, and the people were also wavering, not knowing which side to support.

At this time, if he intervenes, maybe both parties will turn their attention to him, and they will unite instead.

That night, he had a rough talk with Shiyu, and Shiyu leaned on his shoulder, calmly saying that sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is the best way.

He also thinks so, but there is a better way, that is to watch the tigers fight, put some armor on the two tigers, and give them some knives and guns, so that they can fight more fiercely.

In this way, not only can he make a profit, but both tigers will regard him as a great benefactor.

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and everything in the palace seems to be proceeding in an orderly manner.

The biggest event of the new year at Jingguo's senior management is also the banquet at the Prince Jin's Mansion.

The emperor and empress were present, as well as officials from all over the country who could come to the capital. Several streets in front of the palace were blocked.

Such a large-scale production schedule is nothing more than establishing the identity and status of King Jin.

Li Xingzhou greeted him for a day, and said that most of the officials had to meet in person, especially the local officials who rarely came to Beijing. A few words and a glass of wine.

Going through the motions is very procedural and tiring, but Li Xingzhou knows this is necessary.

These officials may work for him in the next few years or decades, and the chance for them to see themselves may only be this time, not many anyway.

And this is the time to show his charisma. Sometimes being too smart is not good, so what Li Xingzhou can do is to seriously drink a glass of wine with every table of foreign officials. After all, these people will work for him in the future.

In the second half, he was completely dizzy, but with the support of De Gong and officials from the Ministry of Officials, he insisted on finishing his drink.

After this lap, he was completely dizzy and tried to stay awake, but his hands and feet were still disobedient, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor, talked to the dignitaries in the court, and stayed at the emperor's table.

During this period, many details have been blurred, but he toasted with local officials first, not with the ministers and dignitaries in the order of official rank, which surprised many people.

Under the care of Shiyu, Li Xingzhou quietly washed his face with cold water in the back hall, walked to the front desk after regaining consciousness, and then laughed and said: "It's nothing strange. It's not easy for you adults who work outside. You are tired of traveling and traveling, and you still have to pay for me. Wang face.

Furthermore, you are all parents and officials of the common people, different from those of us in Gaozuo Jingzhong, respecting you is also respecting the people of the world.You are doing the hardest practical work, so I respect you for doing it first. "

As he spoke, he drank another cup, and Degong stepped forward to help him carefully, "Today, when you come to see the emperor and me, most of you can't remember it, but whether the decree can be implemented, whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and whether the country and society are stable Whether or not, but you have to rely on you, the world is so unfair.

But this king can't do anything about this matter, but it is indeed possible to offer you a glass of wine and express your heart. "

"My lord."

"My lord!"

"."

After finishing speaking, many officials who came to Beijing from other places stood up one after another, with excited expressions.

Li Xingzhou waved his hand: "I have a lot to say, and I want to tell you one by one, but I can't help it. You must also have a lot to say, and I want to tell you one by one, but I don't have the chance.

There is only one person in this king, and you adults are in other places, and you have important positions that are difficult to get out of, so thousands of words, bitterness is not easy, my condolences, the future of the country, the country, are all put in the wine. "

Speech is an art, atmosphere, timing, logic, language organization, proper cooperation are indispensable.

Just at this time, Shiyu sealed the wine for him, Li Xingzhou took advantage of the opportunity to toast and drank with many officials at the table.

After drinking a cup, everyone was a little excited, and some people wept silently.

The grand banquet in the royal palace in the third year of junior high school was of far-reaching significance. It was a meeting between Li Xingzhou and Jing Guo's officials, and it was also the emperor's public affirmation of his power.

Since then, there have been no disputes about the transfer of power in the future. Many people feel relieved, and some people give up. Jingguo's political circle has finally settled down.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Li Xingzhou held a family banquet, only for people in the palace.

Now the palace is huge, and the settled craftsmen and family members from all over the world have even become a new residential area next to the palace.

The palace banquet could no longer be held in the palace, so it was moved to the street. This time it was much easier, everyone drank and had fun, relaxed and at ease.

Li Xingzhou, Di Zhi, Yan Shen, Yan Kun, Zhao Si and others were also drunk and happy, but in the middle of the night, leaning against the willows by the river, looking at the sparse stars, they couldn't help but think of the dead Yan Chun and Ji Chunsheng.

A conscientious old housekeeper of the palace, a top master who was hard to meet, in just two years, they all disappeared one after another.

Di Zhi seemed to see his sorrow, and held his wine bowl and said, "My lord, don't think so much, just like what you told us, people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that death will be boring, sooner or later they will die, and the best way to die is to die well." good."

Li Xingzhou glanced at him and said with a smile: "If you go to the south for a trip, you will tell me the truth."

"Hahaha, it's not just the truth, but I'm also afraid of my wife." Shen Lin, whose face was flushed from drinking, came over. He didn't go back to Jiangzhou to celebrate the New Year this year, "My lord, you don't know that we are recruiting soldiers in Mingzhou, and the master of Yongming County will come every now and then." Come once, he was vicious in front of the recruits, and when he saw the little daughter-in-law at home, he was silent like a woman, hahaha."

Di Zhi became angry with embarrassment, his drunken face turned even redder, he quickly pushed him back, and then argued: "What do you know, there is no man in the world who is afraid of his wife, only... only a man who respects his wife."

"Hahaha, whoever said the bullshit, I'm just afraid, so what else to say."

Di Zhi pointed his finger at him, Li Xingzhou almost choked to death from the wine, why did the trouble come to the east!After coughing a few times, he quickly quibbled: "That's not what I said!"

"Then who said that?" Yan Shen came over curiously.

Li Xingzhou said awkwardly: "Ye Ye asked."

Several people shook their heads, with expressions of disbelief.

"Do I need to prove it?" He was very angry, is he that kind of person, how is it possible!

After the new year, until the ninth day of the lunar new year, all kinds of things basically began to recover.

First of all, the emperor entrusted him with the Shibosi. To take over the Shibosi, the affairs of Honglu Temple must be given up. It is inevitable to make mistakes with multiple positions. Too much power is also a bad thing, and he cannot take the lead.Like He Shen back then, who held dozens of important positions, he really did whatever he wanted, and no one could monitor and stop him.

What he suggested to the emperor was Sun He, an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. This man is capable, upright, and has a country in his heart. He is very suitable for diplomatic work.

However, after all, the Shibo Department will not be able to operate normally until the beginning of spring, when merchants start to communicate.

The most important thing right now is Zhao Si, an engineering madman. After crazy work and overtime work even during the Chinese New Year, he brought him a sample of the next generation of breech-loading muskets in the ninth day of the ninth day.
