Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 516 The Excited Grandson Wuji

Promotion is a happy event, even though Changsun Huan's promotion this time seems to rely on nepotism, but this does not affect Changsun Wuji's inner joy.

For Changsun Wuji, this promotion of Changsun Huan is really important to the Changsun family!
Therefore, on the afternoon when Changsun Huan was named the governor of Liuqiu, Changsun Wuji began to feast on the guests.

Now it is the 18th year of Zhenguan, and Changsun Wuji is already 50 years old. At this age of "knowing the destiny", besides the Tang Dynasty, he has to consider his own family.

In fact, since the "Naked Lying at Xuanwu Gate" happened last time, what Changsun Wuji was most worried about was not Changsun Chong, but Li Shimin and Gao Ming's attitude towards Changsun's family.

Although Changsun Wuji did not see that scene with his own eyes, he heard people say that Gao Ming and Changsun Chong were lying naked under the Xuanwu Gate at that time. What a shame!
Many poor and rotten scholars in the court were talking behind their backs, saying that if they encountered such a thing, they would definitely bump their heads to death outside Mingde's gate, and use their full name as festival!
Of course, Changsun Wuji didn't believe this, but it was undeniable that the impact of this matter was extremely bad, and the prestige of the prince Gao Ming suffered a lot.

This can be seen from Zuo Qiwei's crazy tongue-twisting person.

Because of this incident, many speech officials have participated in Hegan Chengji, but Changsun Wuji, as the order of Zhongshu, secretly suppressed these impeachment memorials and did not pass them to Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji was not worried about Li Shimin's attitude, because he knew very well that even if Li Shimin was dissatisfied with him, he would not care about him for the sake of the dead Empress Changsun.

Changsun Wuji was worried about Gao Ming!

Gao Ming's vengeance is well-known in the entire court. In the past year or so, he has demonstrated the iron law of "those who offend him will not end well" with his actions!
More importantly, as Gao Ming's ability became more prominent, his power became more and more powerful. Many officials secretly speculated that one day Li Shimin would suddenly give up his position to him.

Under such circumstances, Changsun Wuji became even more worried.

The last time Gao Ming came to visit suddenly, Changsun Wuji's whole heart was raised, fearing that Gao Ming was here to find fault.

But what he didn't expect was that Gao Ming not only didn't come to find fault, but also gave the eldest grandson's family a big "big gift", which moved Changsun Wuji so much that he couldn't help himself.

"His Royal Highness is such a good man, it seems that he has my uncle in his heart!"

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji's smile became even brighter.

While Changsun Wuji was enjoying himself, the housekeeper's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"His Royal Highness and Princess Jinyang are here!"

Hearing this voice, Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly walked out, ready to meet Gao Ming and Li Mingda in person.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a well-dressed Gao Ming walking in holding Li Mingda's hand, followed by two unbelievably strong female wrestlers.

Now there is not a single eunuch in the imperial city, replaced by such a strong female warrior in front of him, so Changsun Wuji is no surprise to the female warrior.

After only glancing at them briefly, Changsun Wuji focused his gaze on Gao Ming and Li Mingda, and then bowed his hands towards them.

"The old minister welcomes His Royal Highness, Princess Jinyang!"

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Changsun Wuji's respectful face, Gao Ming suddenly burst into laughter, and stretched out his hand to help him up while laughing.

"Uncle, you're being polite. We're all from our own family. What are you doing so far away? Sis, are you right?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Mingda who was standing next to him nodded immediately.

"Well, big brother is right, Sizi went to see my sister and Er Gouzi!"

After finishing speaking, she ran in bouncingly.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Wuji and Gao Ming immediately looked at each other again, then walked in together talking and laughing.

After entering, Changsun Wuji announced the start of the banquet, and the scene suddenly became more lively.

As the most distinguished person in this banquet, Gao Ming naturally sat at the main table, and those who sat at the same table with him were naturally "heavyweight" figures in Chang'an.

Needless to say, Changsun Wuji, as the host of the banquet, he must accompany Gao Ming at the same table. Besides, there were Liang Guogong Fang Xuanling, Wei Guogong Li Jing, Baoguo Gong Duan Zhixuan, and Jugong Tang Jian.

This is in line with an old saying that like attracts like and divides into groups. It is an exaggeration to say that the people at this table are all people who can make Chang'an tremble by stomping their feet!

Therefore, Changsun Huan's expression became a little stiff after he came to the table.

"My respect... respect to His Highness the Crown Prince and all your lords..."

Seeing him trembling, even Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Sigh, this child is still somewhat lacking in tolerance!"

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji was ready to come out to smooth things over, but before he could speak, Gao Ming stood up.

"Hahahaha, Cousin Huan, you can't do this!"

Gao Ming put his arms around Changsun Huan's neck while smiling, and then raised his chin towards him.

"Cousin Huan, look at the people here, all of them are ministers of the humerus of my Tang Dynasty, they are all in the Lingyan Pavilion like your father, and they are heroes admired by future generations. Just respect them all, don’t you think they don’t pay much attention?”

Gao Ming's flattery immediately made everyone present feel at ease, even Changsun Wuji stroked his beard with a smile, and then raised his chin towards Changsun Huan.

"Huan'er, what His Highness the Crown Prince said is right. All the colleagues here are colleagues who have worked for my father for decades. You have to toast one by one!"

"This……"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Changsun Huan's face froze.

Looking at the transparent liquid in his glass, a trace of struggle flashed across Changsun Huan's face, but looking at the smiling Changsun Wuji, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Yes, father, the child knows!"

After finishing speaking, Changsun Huan raised the wine glass with both hands again, then nodded slightly towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, I respect you for this glass of wine, thank you for your kindness!"

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming nodded in satisfaction this time.

"That's right, come on, cheers, I'm free!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming picked up the cup and took a sip, then put the cup down.

But Changsun Huan didn't dare to be perfunctory like this, he drank the whole glass of wine, filled it up again, and raised the glass to Changsun Wuji.

"Father, I respect you with this glass of wine!"

"Ok!"

After paying homage to Changsun Wuji, Changsun Huan respected Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Duan Zhixuan and Tang Jian according to the ranking order of Lingyan Pavilion.

The wine for this banquet was highly distilled wine bought by Changsun Wuji from the Royal Clubhouse, so after drinking six consecutive glasses of wine, Changsun Huan began to feel a little dizzy, and even started to drift when walking.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

"Cousin Huan can't hold a lot of alcohol. Let a beautiful man come over. My son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty doesn't know how to drink. Uncle, don't you think so?"

"Uh……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Changsun Wuji was taken aback for a while, but seeing that all the people present were smiling at him, he could only nod his head, and then raised his chin towards the flushed Changsun Huan.

"Huan'er, go and call your brother over, you go down to wake up the bar first!"

"Yes!"
