Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

The Pingkang Square in Wushi was extraordinarily quiet, but Hanwang Mansion was brightly lit.The banquet of the palace was arranged in the front hall of the Juyi Hall. There were already some people seated in the hall. They were Li Ke's sworn brothers Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Huailiang, Chai Zhewei, Li Zonghao and Yu Chijun.

After hearing that Li Ke had moved to the Palace of the King of Han, they rushed over to congratulate them immediately. Unexpectedly, Yang En stopped them and said that Li Ke was discussing matters with the people in the Palace of Juyi, and they were inconvenient to disturb.No one was not angry, but he often saw Yang En when he was in Prince Qin's Mansion, and knew his old man, so he didn't dare to act presumptuously, so he had to follow Yang En to the side hall and wait.Li Ke sent Chu Suiliang away, and told Yang En to come to the side hall to meet several people immediately after arranging the residence of the three of them.

The brothers haven't seen each other for a long time since they became sworn brothers. When they saw Li Ke coming in, their joy was beyond words. You kept talking, but the theme was the same. It was nothing more than what I thought about him these days.

Li Ke smiled and said to everyone: "Brothers, I have finally moved out of the palace. From now on, we can often gather together, drinking, fighting, and riding outings like before."

Qin Huaiyu reminded Li Ke: "Third brother, now that you are becoming a prince, you must follow the etiquette system in everything. You must not be gossiped, used, or framed by others because of this." We should be compatible, and we must be restrained in what we do in the future, and we can't cause unnecessary troubles for the third brother."

When Qin Huaiyu said this, everyone thought it was right.In the past, Li Ke was only the third son of the King of Qin, and others would turn a blind eye to everything he did.Today, he is the third prince of the Great Tang Emperor and the King of Han in the Great Tang.His every move is related to Datang's image, or Li Shimin's face.Therefore, others will have stricter demands on him, and will not let him act rashly as usual.

Li Ke knew that Qin Huaiyu, as the eldest brother among them, was older and thought farther.Therefore, I humbly accepted his suggestion, and said: "Big brother said, I almost got carried away, and I must abide by my duty in everything I do in the future."

Everyone also felt that Qin Huaiyu's words were right, and they all seriously thought about how not to cause trouble for Li Ke in the future, without making them unhappy.

Li Ke saw that what Qin Huaiyu said just now made everyone feel bad, and it was inevitable that they would become unfamiliar in the future.So, he said loudly: "Brothers, why do you think so much? We are sworn brothers because we have the same ambition, that is to fight and kill, and make achievements. Now that I have left the palace, I should practice martial arts with everyone so that I can be with you. Brothers fight together on the battlefield. Therefore, in the future we can still drink, practice martial arts, ride horses, and shoot arrows. Don’t care what other people say.”

Hearing Li Ke's impassioned words, the five people felt hot in their hearts, looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing loudly.

In this way, the six people began to ask about Li Ke's martial arts, and Li Ke explained to them one by one what he had done recently.The five people couldn't help admiring how much Li Kejinran had improved his martial arts in a short period of time, and even got the Yuanhong sword among the top ten famous swords.Everyone clamored to see Li Ke's sword. At this moment, Yang En, the head of the palace, came in and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, the dinner is ready. Would you please come here?"

Li Ke knew that many people would come to the banquet before the banquet started, so he asked Yang En to lead the crowd to sit down, and he went straight to Dong Boren's residence and invited him to the banquet.Under Yang En's arrangement, Qin Huaiyu and the others sat in the seats on the right side of the hall. The brothers are no strangers to the current King's Mansion of Han and the former King's Mansion of Qin.However, they had never been to the Juyi Hall, the main hall, and they were a little excited to be in the hall this time.

When Li Ke invited Dong Boren to attend the banquet, several people came one after another. They were Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, Su Dingfang and Chen Qi. Knowing that they did not know each other, Yang En introduced a few people to each other.When Ma Zhou and the others saw Qin Huaiyu and the descendants of the aristocratic family, although they were not familiar with them, they still bowed their hands in salute.Qin Huaiyu and the others also knew that they were the royal officials of the Han Palace, so they didn't dare to neglect them, and greeted them one by one.Yang En is worthy of being the steward of the palace, and he arranged the positions of everyone according to the size of the official position.Not long after everyone was seated, Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenwen also came hand in hand.Yang En knew that Chu Suiliang was the head of the palace, but he didn't know Cen Wenwen. However, seeing that he came with Chu Suiliang, he guessed that Cen Wenwen had a special status, so he arranged him with Chu Suiliang.

By the time Li Ke welcomed Dong Boren to the hall of Juyi Hall, everyone had already been seated for a long time.Seeing Li Ke walking in with Dong Boren, everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted.He motioned for everyone to sit down, and helped Dong Boren to the first position on the left.Then he came to Cen Wen himself, saluted Cen Wen and said, "Ke has seen Mr."

Cen Wen cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me for being late." There is a reason for Cen Wenwen to say this. He was arranged by Li Shimin to be Li Ke's teacher, and he should have come here with Chu Suiliang and the others today.But Cen Wenwen himself held an official position, and he had to deal with court affairs, which delayed his coming to the Han Palace.

Li Ke said hastily: "Mr. is busy with business. I am very grateful to be able to come to the banquet. There is no reason for redemption." He invited Cen Wenwen to take his seat, and he sat on the main seat after saluting with everyone.

Li Ke looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Thanks to the love of my father, Ke entered the Han Dynasty and was able to open a government office and build a mansion. I feel very lucky to be able to work with you. Today's dinner is for Mr. Dong and everyone. Serving in the palace is to take over the dust. The second is to let everyone get to know each other and understand each other so that we can work together in the future."

After hearing this, everyone was moved and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness, King of Han."

Li Ke ordered the banquet to open, raised his glass high and said, "The first glass of wine is to respect the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the people's living and working in peace and contentment." After speaking, he drank it all down.Everyone also said like him: "Regard the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the people live and work in peace and contentment." They drank the wine in their glasses.

Li Ke raised his glass again and said: "The second glass of wine, I wish the emperor and mother the holy body and health." After speaking, he drank it down again.Everyone followed suit.

Li Ke raised the third glass of wine and said: "The third wine, Ke Jing each can realize the revenge in his heart in the near future, a grand plan." Then he drank it all, and everyone still followed.

After drinking for three rounds, according to seniority, Li Ke began to toast to everyone one by one, starting with Dong Boren, and he never refused everyone's respect.After paying homage to Dong Boren, Li Ke came to Cen Wenwen first, and said respectfully: "Mr. is now Ke's teacher, please respect Mr. Ke."

Cen Wenwen was deeply moved by Li Ke's respect, nodded and said: "Your Highness treats Wen Wen so favorably, and Wen Wen will definitely teach His Highness how to be an official and live in the world."

Cen Wenwen's words were cryptic, but in Li Ke's ears, there was another meaning, that is, His Highness has treated me so favorably, and I will definitely give you advice on how to snatch the crown prince.

Then, Li Ke walked to Chu Suiliang's table, raised his glass to Chu Suiliang and said: "Respect teacher Ke, you will be a teacher for a day, and you will be a teacher for life. Chu Changshi is Teacher Ke's teacher today, and Ke's teacher forever in the future. Ke must treat him with the courtesy of a disciple."

Chu Suiliang was moved by Li Ke, he didn't expect this prince to be such a caring and caring person.He thought that his modesty and kindness were just a disguise, the nature of Prince Diwang Zhijiang.But seeing Li Ke's behavior and dealing with things today is not as he thought, it is completely an expression of true feelings.He felt that he could get such a disciple who respected him in his life, so why should he regret it?Therefore, he said sincerely to Li Ke: "Your Majesty, I am so grateful to you, I will try my best to repay you in this life." Hearing what Chu Suiliang said, Li Ke knew that he already had the intention to help him, and he was very happy, so he drank Several cups.

When Li Ke walked in front of Ma Zhou, although he had already drunk several glasses of wine, he was not drunk.He looked at Ma Zhou appreciatively. From his eyes, Ma Zhou saw respect and trust. A kind of kindness rose spontaneously, turned into gratitude, and spread to Ma Zhou's eyes. Li Ke understood Ma Zhou's eyes, He said to Ma Zhou: "Prince Bin, you have a great talent, and I have really wronged you by consigning to the palace. Don't worry, I will definitely recommend you to the emperor when I have the opportunity." After finishing speaking, he drank the wine first to show his respect.

Ma Zhou was even more moved, and said: "Your Highness's kindness to you, Ma Zhou will always remember it, and he will spare no effort to share His Highness's worries in the future."

Li Ke then walked up to Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui and said: "Dingfang, Zhengze, this king knows that you have the talents of generals, and you also have the ambition to fight on the battlefield and seal wolves into Xu Xu. Don't worry, this king will definitely give you such a chance. Let you realize the wishes in your hearts." After finishing speaking, he still drank it in one gulp.

Liu Rengui and Su Dingfang were very moved, and hurriedly said "Thank you, Your Highness". Although they didn't say much, they had secretly made up their minds to follow Li Ke.

When Li Ke walked up to Chen Qi, Chen Qi had already stood up and waited for him. Looking at the young man in his twenties, Li Ke smiled approvingly, "Chen Qi, the king's safety is in your hands. .”

Chen Qi was so moved that he knelt down on the ground and said as if expressing his determination: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will swear to serve Your Highness to the end."

In the end, Li Ke walked up to his sworn brothers and said to everyone: "Ke can be sworn brothers and sworn brothers, and I have no regrets in this life." After speaking, he drank the wine proudly.

The six people were touched by Li Ke's pride, and suddenly, their blood boiled, and they said loudly: "Brothers are of the same mind, and their benefits can cut through gold. No matter when, we will always be good brothers!"

In the eyes of the five people, Li Ke saw their expectations for him and their willingness to follow them to the death, so he couldn't help saying: "We live together and die together."

When the five people heard the four words Li Ke said, their hearts were shocked, and they shouted at the same time: "We live together and die together."

The banquet culminated in a toast between Li Ke and the crowd, and it also came to an end because Li Ke was drunk.It's not that Li Ke is not good at drinking, it's just that everyone is respected, even water can hold him up, let alone wine?Li Ke vaguely remembered that everyone said goodbye to him when they left.

Cen Wenwen was the last one to leave. He had something to tell Li Ke, so he left late. He didn't expect Li Ke to drink
