Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 427 New Year’s Banquet, Change of Year Name

While the banquet was being held in Luoyang City, Jizhou City was also very lively.

Because of the external pressure from the Cao Group, the enemies Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan temporarily put aside their grudges and formed an alliance.

After this alliance was formed, Yuan Shao invited Gongsun Zan to celebrate the New Year in Jizhou.

Gongsun Zan naturally agreed with great joy.

Originally, Gongsun Zan's men thought that Yuan Shao would take the opportunity to cause trouble and harm Gongsun Zan.

But as a result, Yuan Shao's reputation became bad.

There was the Cao Group outside who was eyeing him, so how could he, Yuan Shao, dare to take action against Gongsun Zan?
Gongsun Zan naturally understood this, so he also brought his family to Jizhou for the New Year with great fanfare to show the integrity of his alliance.

Yuan Shao saw it and realized that Gongsun Zan had already done this. Naturally, he would not fall into the trap. Naturally, he would be entertained with good wine and good food.

The two parties were enjoying themselves at this time.

……

In Luoyang City, the Royal Palace.

After Liu Bian made a speech, he announced the start of the banquet.

The ministers did not notice anything wrong with Liu Bian's speech.

After all, Liu Bian's teacher was Cao Cao, and he taught him a few scene words. Isn't this what he should do?

In fact, it wasn't just the civil and military ministers who thought this way, even Cao Ang couldn't help but discuss it in his heart.

"Father, when did he teach His Majesty to speak in such a scene?"

Among everyone present, only Cao Cao was shocked, because the words Liu Bian said at the beginning were not taught by him at all.

Liu Bian occupies a high position, and the leaders on the left and right below him are Cao Ang and Cao Cao, followed by a group of civil and military ministers.

After the banquet started, although everyone was enjoying themselves, except for Cao Ang, everyone else was more or less restrained, even Cao Cao and Liu Bian were no exception.

Liu Bian was restrained because Cao Cao and Cao Ang were there and he couldn't bring his male companion to the banquet, so he felt uncomfortable.

Moreover, he was afraid that the matter would be exposed and make Cao Cao and Cao Ang dissatisfied, so he was a little restrained everywhere.

Cao Cao was restrained because he was an important official in the world, ranking above the three princes and the leader of hundreds of officials, and he had to set an example.

But what he dislikes the most is this kind of scene. What he likes is that everyone is having fun and he can compose poems.

It's just that this is a royal palace banquet. How could Cao Cao be brought to the palace with him? It's against the rules and etiquette.

As for the others, they were restrained because Liu Bian was here.

After all, he is the emperor, so he should have the respect he deserves, especially on such an important occasion, they can't make mistakes.

Only Cao Ang himself was relaxed.

He is a modern person and doesn't care about these secular etiquette at all, so he is very relaxed.

However, Cao Ang saw the restless Liu Bian and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? I see that you seem a little restless, but are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Bian heard Cao Ang's words and nodded quickly: "I am indeed feeling unwell and want to rest."

After hearing the words, Cao Ang pondered for a while and then nodded: "That's fine. After all, the dragon body is important. There is just one thing I want to tell His Majesty."

Liu Bian looked at Cao Ang and his heart skipped a beat.

Did he know about Leer?
Le'er is Liu Bian's male favorite. He is deeply loved by Liu Bian. Even those scenes were taught by Le'er.

Cao Ang looked at Liu Bian's weird expression and couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. I just want to mention to Your Majesty the matter of changing the reign name."

"After all, Your Majesty, when you ascend the throne again, you should say goodbye to those days before."

"What's more, the rebels in Xiliang kidnapped King Chenliu in an attempt to proclaim him emperor. The reign title will still be Zhongping." Cao Cao, who was sitting opposite Cao Ang, nodded in agreement after hearing this. Said: "Now, the new year has come, and it will be a new year soon. The year name should really be changed."

Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Since the teacher and the elder brothers have said so, then naturally I have no objection. I will leave all this matter to you, teacher."

"I'm a little tired, so I won't be here with the teacher, eldest brother, and the ministers in the court. Let the teacher host this banquet."

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded slightly, indicating that it would be no problem to leave it to him.

Liu Bian, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said goodbye to the ministers, and then left eagerly to find his Le'er.

During the Chinese New Year, it is natural to spend it with the people closest to you.

When Liu Bian left, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of wine.

Seeing this, Cao Ang couldn't help but smile and asked: "Father, when did you teach His Majesty those scene words?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, and his body that had relaxed became tense again.

I saw him facing Cao Ang with a tangled expression: "I didn't teach you!"

"Ah?" Cao Ang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "It seems that your Majesty has grown up."

……

After Liu Bian left the banquet, the scene slowly relaxed.

Cheng Yu carried the wine jar and came to sit next to Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, aren't you the best drinker on weekdays? The palace has enough wine today, why don't you drink it?" Cheng Yu asked in surprise after sitting down and looking at the intact wine.

Guo Jia glanced at Cheng Yu with a strange expression.

The most painful thing in the world is to look at the wine and not be able to drink it, right?
Thinking of his previous agreement with Cao Ang, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "I'm not in good health, Zhongde, you can drink it yourself."

"Not in good health?" Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "This wine is really good. It's a pity that you can't enjoy it."

Cheng Yu, like Guo Jia, also likes fine wine, but he is not a womanizer.

If Cao Ang were here, he would definitely shout: "Yes, yes, you are not good at beauty, you just like to study food!"

……

After the banquet was over, Cao Cao left together with all the civil and military officials.

Cao Ang, on the other hand, avoided everyone and went to find Queen Mother He alone.

When Queen Mother He saw Cao Ang coming, she turned away everyone, and then threw herself directly into Cao Ang's arms.

"My little enemy, I thought you wouldn't come today."

"Yingying, what nonsense are you talking about? You are my woman, and today is the Chinese New Year. How could I not come to see you?"

After saying this, the two became tender again.

……

On the first day of the first lunar month, go to court early.

There is only one thing in today's morning meeting, and that is the year name.

From Zhongping to Jian'an!

AD 194 became the first year of Jian'an.

Compared with before, it is two years ahead of schedule.
