Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 135 To drink or not to drink, that is the question

In the main hall of Qingshan Palace, sandalwood is used as the beam on the top of the cloud, the crystal jade is used as the lamp, the pearl is used as the curtain, and Fan Jin is used as the pillar foundation.Huge moon beads hang on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining like bright moons.

The ground is covered with white jade, embedded with golden beads, the ground is chiseled into a lotus, and it looks like five lotus flowers. , Just like a jade lotus growing step by step, it can be described as extremely beautiful.

The beauty is extremely beautiful, but every time Li Chengqian saw this palace, his face could not help but cramp, because he paid for the repairs.

"I wish my emperor a long and boundless life." All the ministers and workers attending the banquet raised their wine glasses and looked at the emperor with rare smiles on their faces, because today's banquet was the result of five years of hard work. It can be said that it is hard-won, so we all cherish it.

Seeing the congratulations from His Highness and his ministers, Li Shimin in full attire raised his hand to signal.

"Everyone, don't toast my wine first. I should be the one who should toast. I have to offer three cups of wine first, and I have to respect the sky for the first cup of wine. Without the favor of heaven, the Tang Dynasty would not have the national fortune it is today. ", then spilled the wine in his hand on the ground.

"For the second glass of wine, I want to respect the soldiers who died at the border. Without their sacrifices, Datang's waist would not be able to stand up.", He raised another glass and poured it out.

"For the third glass of wine, I would like to respect all the ministers and workers sitting here today. Without the blood and sweat of you civil servants and generals, this country would not have risen so quickly from the ruins."

Hearing the emperor's words, His Highness' ministers and workers also shouted for your Majesty's ten thousand years. Of course, the emperor's words also reminded them of how they have overcome obstacles in the past few years.

It is a shame for this devastated country to accumulate such profound national power in such a period of time, and defeat the northern power in one fell swoop.

"Please drink to your heart's content, dear friends. If you don't get drunk today, you won't return." After drinking with all the ministers, they looked back at the listless Li Yuan.

Since the ninth year of Wude, Li Yuan has always treated him coldly and never said anything nice.Open your mouth and shut your mouth, as if you are not as good as him.

And today, he has wiped out that powerful country in the north.Isn't this enough to prove that he was right to launch the Xuanwumen Incident?Can't you prove that the emperor himself is even more wise than the founding king of your country?

"Your Majesty, I hereby respectfully offer you a glass." Just as the emperor was thinking, Li Ji raised the wine in his hand and said to His Highness.

Li Shimin came to Li Shimin after a while, pointed to Li Jing who was sitting under Li Chengqian, and said with a smile, "Maogong, today is my reward for the heroes of the Northern Expedition. Don't toast to me first, but to respect your benefactor first. How could it have achieved such great success without the great general's strategizing."

"General, general, the students are here to give you a toast." No matter how Li Ji called, Li Jing just sat there with an old face, motionless as if he was deaf, and Li Ji stood there and entered. , Not even retreat, how embarrassing.

"Duke Wei, General Li is giving you a toast." The eldest grandson Wuji on the opposite side saw that the scene was not good, so he hurriedly said something.

"I drink the wine toasted by anyone, but I dare not drink the wine toasted by him. Who knows if there is poison in it."

This is so embarrassing, Rao Changsun Wuji Jichang Wushuang has nothing to do with this stubborn old man.At this moment, the eyes of the civil and military officials in the palace all followed Li Jing's poisonous words to this place.

"Duke Wei, your majesty gave you good wine today, but you still haven't drunk it well.

Come, come, come, I would like to respect you both.On the one hand, I would like to congratulate the two marshals for their great achievements in the Tang Dynasty; "

Li Jing can not sell the face of the students, but he has to give Li Chengqian the face of the crown prince, especially what Zhang Baoxiang said when he came to the mansion two days ago. up.

"Hey, Mao Gong, Sichang, you all come here, I have something to tell you." Seeing his son successfully resolve this embarrassing situation, Li Shimin smiled and waved to Li Ji and others.

"According to the military system of the imperial court, it should be that the generals will return to the court and the soldiers will be scattered in the mansion. You also know that in this battle of Dingxiang, the elite of the sixteen guards suffered serious losses and their combat power dropped severely.

I plan to select some strong soldiers from the government soldiers who have returned to the court this time, and fill them with other generals and schools who will go to the state capital to serve as captains of Zhechong. decline.

I have studied with the two prime ministers, Fang Du, and have some ideas.You guys go back and prepare carefully, how about we come to the palace in a few days to discuss this matter together. "

The emperor really hates it, we haven't proposed the law of recruiting soldiers yet, he has just set the tone and made you unable to explain the reasons for opposing him.

Taking it for granted that he was the elite in the army, and sending out those low-ranking generals, his wish to recruit soldiers was frustratingly defeated.

"Generals, this is His Majesty's concern for you. As long as it is beneficial to the generals, His Majesty has thought of it for you. This is really a mighty grace."

Du Ruhui put the word "Tian En" very seriously. He hoped that these generals would understand that they should not play tricks with the emperor, otherwise, they would know the consequences.

"You all heard it, Your Majesty has long been thinking about the way out for everyone. What kind of memorials are we going to make, what kind of sentiments are we going to make? Wouldn't it be superfluous to do this." Li Ji reprimanded again in a low voice.

"I have thanked Your Majesty Long En, and the brothers below will be happy to know that Your Majesty considers them so much." After thanking the emperor, Li Ji returned to his seat with the dejected Chai Shao and others.

"Your Majesty, do you think it's time for the King of Qin to break the formation?" The old eunuch Gan Yunbukuai was the emperor's most caring dog, knowing when and what to say.Seeing that there was some silence, he immediately took the drum hammer from the servant's hand.

"Hey, look at my memory. Today is a celebration banquet, why is it being involved in state affairs again, come on, play music."

Seeing the 120 eight Jiashi dancing the familiar dance of the seven virtues to the sound of the emperor himself beating the drum, Yan Lide couldn't help sniffing.

"Your Highness, did you smell something during the banquet?"

"What's the smell? Xiao Wang didn't smell anything." Could it be that my old father-in-law drank too much and had no taste.

"No, this banquet is full of murderous intent." Yan Lide drank the wine in his hand and said solemnly.
