Chapter 193
The little eunuch was helpless, he really couldn't wait any longer, his waist would be broken if he persisted any longer!
He didn't dare to stand up rashly, and he didn't dare to make himself fall to the ground, so he could only remind him aloud.
The Holy Majesty turned around, "I thought of a word, Gongli, you said I thought of this..."
He took the tea soup, but found that it was a young eunuch, not Liang Gongli, who served the tea soup.
He frowned slightly, and then remembered that Liang Gongli refused to share the "fairy medicine" with him, and persuaded him to quit the medicine many times.
It is said that the elder of the Xiao family has completely given up drugs now, and is quite respected.
Impatient with Liang Gongli's advice, he kicked Liang Gongli away from the court.
I don't know where to be on duty right now?
"He Chun, tell me, the king of Yue has come back at this time and has received a lot of praise. Isn't it suspected that he has made great achievements?" The emperor said.
The little eunuch was shocked, "Your Majesty, this slave dare not say that."
"Say, I forgive you for your innocence." The Holy Majesty put the teacup aside and told him to stand up.
"King Ji was demoted and is still in custody. King Yue won, and the voice was loud. The ministers of the court are praising King Yue every day. I'm afraid that next time, they will force the Holy Majesty to establish the East Palace!" said the little eunuch.
The Holy One snorted coldly, "I am still young and strong! What matters when the East Palace is established?"
"Did your Majesty forget why the King of Yue led his troops northward from Wancheng?" said the little eunuch.
As soon as His Majesty said, "Great achievements overwhelm the Lord", he guessed His Majesty's mind.
Every word and every sentence speaks to the heart of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Majesty looked at him more and more pleasingly, "I have not forgotten that I was trapped in Jiuyi Mountain at that time. Is he going north to save me, or is he planning to take advantage of the rebellion of the former prince...Hmph, he knows it, and I know it too!"
"Now that the king of Yue is victorious, his prestige is great, the sage must guard against it!" said the little eunuch.
The Holy One narrowed his eyes.
"Designation, I want to announce to the world—"
The little eunuch looked at the Holy Majesty in astonishment, what is he going to announce now?If you want to release King Ji to fight against King Yue, will this change?
"Let the world know that King Wu is not a king with a different surname, but my son. His surname is not Jing, but Li!"
His Majesty's voice echoed in the hall.
The little eunuch was stunned for a long time before bowing in astonishment.
The imperial decree was announced the next day.
There was an uproar in Chang'an City.
"No wonder General Jing has been favored by His Majesty for many years! It turns out he is His Majesty's son!"
"General Jing looks similar to Shengshang, and his temperament is also similar to Shengshang when he was young!"
"In this way, when the Holy Majesty was still King Xiang, he had the son of General Jing!"
"Now the Holy Majesty prefers the King of Yue? Or the King of Wu?"
Originally, the position of the crown prince seemed to have been settled on the head of Yue Wang, but now something happened again.
King Ji fell, but now King Wu has become his own son.
It is true that the King of Yue won the battle, but in terms of military merit, isn't General Jing better than the King of Yue?
The king of Yue had not yet arrived in Chang'an.
The aristocrats in Chang'an City were moved upon hearing the news, and the Prince Wu's Mansion was crowded with people who came to congratulate him every day.
Xiao Yuzhuo was annoyed, "Don't say it sooner or later, but at this time! What kind of idea is he thinking, Majesty, to treat everyone else as fools!"
"Miss, be careful!" Mei Xiang hastily persuaded.
"Beware of this, beware of that! I've never seen someone who is an old man who takes the initiative to instigate a quarrel with his son!" Xiao Yuzhuo patted the table.
Mei Xiang was in a hurry, "Miss, be careful that your hands hurt!"
"Hmph, when everyone is like him, he is rare for his throne! Tell his sons to fight, and he will be happy if they all fight to death!" Xiao Yuzhuo said angrily.
"Lady!" Mei Xiang exclaimed.
"Okay, okay," Xiao Yuzhuo waved his hand, "Tell me at home, is there any outsider in my own room?"
Mei Xiang patted her chest, "My servant has never seen you speak so freely, I'm afraid that if you really take this to the outside world, it will cause disaster!"
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "Isn't this calamity not big enough now? The King of Yue won the victory, and before he entered Chang'an, there were many congratulators gathered in front of Xiuyuan's gate. Just in the king's favor, Xiuyuan was asked to share the king's limelight , can King Yue feel happy?"
"I don't care if he is happy or not." Someone outside the door suddenly said with a laugh.
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback, "Xiuyuan?"
Jing Yannian lifted the curtain and entered, "I care about whether you are happy or not."
Mei Xiang blushed immediately, and quickly backed away.
Jing Yannian sat down beside Xiao Yuzhuo, brought her tea bowl, and took a sip.
His lips just touched hers.
Xiao Yuzhuo stretched out his hand to stop her, but he gulped down half a bowl with her lips imprinted.
Xiao Yuzhuo's face became slightly hot.
He put down the tea bowl, "Since you are not happy, how can I still dare to meet those congratulators?"
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "Don't think about it too much, it's up to you whether you see it or not."
"When the Holy Majesty didn't announce my identity to the world, I was not in a hurry. It just never occurred to me that I was going to fight for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord." Jing Yannian looked at Xiao Yuzhuo and said, "What is there above ten thousand people?" Okay? You have to worry about the world, and you have to worry about the harem. Even you make me worry, but if you have the whole harem, don’t you worry me to death?”
"Bah, you are so beautiful, you still want a harem?!" Xiao Yuzhuo stared at him.
Jing Yannian's eyebrows were crooked, but his eyes were clear, "Don't dare, dare not."
"The king of Yue has a perverse personality. I'm afraid that he will be jealous of you and be harmful to you." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice.
Jing Yannian immediately held her hand, "With this sentence, even if he wants to kill me, I am satisfied."
Under his scorching gaze, Xiao Yuzhuo blushed a little, "Let go!"
"I won't let you go. I can't let you go until King Yue comes back. Now that he's back, I can't let you go! I can't wait to marry you back to the mansion right away!" Jing Yannian said in her ear.
Xiao Yuzhuo's blushing face, in Jing Yannian's view, was extraordinarily delicate and cute.
He couldn't help reaching out and hugging her in his arms.
How wonderful it would be if this was not the Xiao family, but his Prince Wu's mansion.
Ask someone to guard him outside, he can do whatever he wants without worrying too much!
But now that he is in the Xiao family, he has to pay attention to his words and deeds.
"Yuyu, I miss you so much, do you know?" He held her in his arms and whispered in her ear.
His breath, in her ears, stained her cheeks, dyed half of her face red.
"Let go! You apprentice!" Xiao Yuzhuo pushed him with a blushing face.
"I beg His Highness King Wu!" Someone outside the door suddenly said respectfully.
Xiao Yuzhuo was startled, and immediately broke free from Jing Yannian's arms.
He hugged and hugged her so much that it wrinkled her decent clothes.
She hurriedly arranged her headdress and clothes.
Jing Yannian looked at her with a full smile, seeing the embarrassment and unnaturalness on her face, but the smile in his eyes grew stronger.
After she finished tidying up, Jing Yannian coughed lightly and called someone to come in to report.
"Report to the King of Wu, His Royal Highness the King of Yue did not enter Chang'an with the army, but entered the city quietly this morning." The subordinate reported.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback.
But the guard continued: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue sent an invitation to invite the King of Wu to attend the banquet at the Palace of the King of Wu tonight."
The room fell silent for a while.
Jing Yannian was obviously also a little surprised.
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes widened, he looked at the guard, and then turned to look at Jing Yannian.
Jing Yannian reacted faster, "King Yue invited many people, or just me?"
"The King of Yue entered Chang'an City quietly, and most of the bystanders don't know that the King of Yue has returned. According to my humble inquiry, the King of Yue only invited his highness." The guard said in a deep voice.
Jing Yannian nodded and told people to step back.
Xiao Yuzhuo immediately worried and said: "If he enters the capital with the army, and there are people lining the road to welcome him, the people will sing and dance, and the momentum will be extraordinary. The excitement in your house will not be so conspicuous. But now, he came back quietly, no one went to congratulate him, but Seeing that others are going to Wu Wangfu to support you, what will he think in his heart?"
"He can do whatever he wants." Jing Yannian reached out and took Xiao Yuzhuo's hand.
She has a tough temper, not like a little lady, but like a man.
But her hand was extremely soft, holding it softly, making people nostalgic.
He squinted, his face full of enjoyment.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "He will invite you to the banquet as soon as he comes back, aren't you afraid that it will be a grand banquet?"
Jing Yannian raised his eyebrows, "Thank you Yuyu for caring about me!"
Seeing that he wanted to pull her into his arms again, Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help being annoyed, "Who cares about you! If it wasn't for Chong Wu's sake of having a father, I wouldn't care about you!"
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Jing Yannian quickly coaxed her, "Yuyu, don't be angry, he just came back from victory, his heart is high, even if he sees me threatening his throne, he won't attack me at this time .and rest assured!"
Jing Yannian comforted Xiao Yuzhuo softly.
Seeing that he was tall and long-legged, and striding away, she still couldn't help but worry about him.
She doesn't know how rare Li Tai is about the throne.
But thinking of the way Li Tai looked at her time and time again, she felt nervous.
"Go and prepare a gift!" Xiao Yuzhuo ordered, "It's fine if you don't know about the triumphant return of the King of Yue. Now that you know about it, you should congratulate him!"
Didn't Li Tai invite Jing Yannian to the banquet?
Instead of cranky worries at home, go see for yourself.
This is probably the difference between Xiao Yuzhuo and other little ladies.
The little lady next to her was concerned, and she waited quietly behind, or went to ask for a lottery, pray for a blessing.
Fortunately, she directly prepared the manpower, brought gifts, and rushed to the palace before the dinner.
Jing Yan was born early.
Before Xiao Yuzhuo arrived, the King of Yue had already invited him to the table.
The table is not small, and there are already more than 20 kinds of cold dishes that have been put on the table.
There is a big food table in front of the two of them, and it is full of dazzling arrays.
"The Northwest Army is frugal, and suddenly seeing the extravagance of Chang'an City, I'm really not used to it." Li Tai looked down at the table in front of him and chuckled lightly.
Jing Yannian lowered his eyes slightly, "The king of Yue has worked hard and fought for years, it's time to come back and enjoy the happiness."
Li Tai laughed when he heard this, "I dare not take credit in front of you."
It's not like Jing Yannian has never been to the Northwest.
"When I was in the northwest, after all, it was not as difficult as when the King of Yue was in danger and was ordered to do so." Jing Yannian said slowly.
Li Tai smiled, "I don't care if it's difficult or not, after all, I asked for my order to go."
Jing Yannian squinted his eyes, wondering what he wanted to say when he invited him to the banquet.
Just as he had guessed, this was really not a Hongmen banquet. There were no ambush inside or outside the banquet hall.
If there is an ambush in the distance, with his ability, he can easily leave the Yue Palace without waiting for those people to approach.
The King of Yue fought with him before, so he should be aware of his abilities.
"The only thing that surprises me is that you and I are brothers! What a surprise!" Li Tai raised his glass and respected Jing Yannian, "Should I call you brother?"
Jing Yanqing raised his glass with a young smile, "I dare not be that."
"Everyone in the world thinks that I'm unhappy, and that I'll be jealous of you. But to be honest," Li Tai laughed, "I'm quite happy, from the bottom of my heart."
Jing Yannian narrowed his eyes.
"In this way, it will be more fair between you and me." Li Tai said.
"Fair?" Jing Yannian was slightly taken aback.
Li Tai raised his head and took a sip of wine, "Do you know why I raised troops from Wancheng? Do you know why I volunteered to go to the northwest at the most difficult time?"
Jing Yannian frowned at him, "Do you want to make contributions?"
Li Taiha laughed, but before he could speak, he listened to the boy outside saying:
"The princess came to visit with a gift—"
The two men in the room were slightly taken aback.
Jing Yannian looked out from the side.
He didn't see that Li Tai's face lit up almost instantly.
Xiao Yuzhuo was invited into the banquet hall.
Mei Xiang immediately stepped forward to present the gift list.
"Yuyu has a gift for me. It just so happens that I also have a gift for Yuyu." Li Tai took the gift list and put it in his arms.
With such an intimate name, Jing Yannian's complexion suddenly became ugly.
"His Royal Highness, please respect yourself."
The polite temptation of you coming and going at the banquet just now became tense.
"Why, what does His Highness King Wu call Yuyu?" Li Tai asked with a smile on his face.
Jing Yannian frowned, "I have an unusual relationship with Yuyu, even calling her by her boudoir name is not inappropriate."
"Yuyu is your cousin, so naturally she is also my cousin, why not me?" Li Tai said intentionally.
Jing Yannian's handsome face darkened, "Yuyu is my wife!"
Li Tai pretended to be surprised, "When did you get married?"
Isn't this asking knowingly, poking a knife into someone's heart?
Jing Yannian's face was livid.
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and said: "Although General Jing and I are reconciled, we used to be husband and wife after all. Now we are reunited after a broken mirror, but we just wait for an imperial decree from the Holy Spirit. In my heart, this relationship is naturally different from that of my cousin."
Seeing Xiao Yuzhuo actively speaking for Jing Yannian, Li Tai's eyes were a little sour.
A smile appeared on the corner of Jing Yannian's mouth, and his whole face became moist.
Li Tai immediately changed the subject and said, "I came back from the northwest and brought some gifts for my cousin. I originally planned to send them back to my cousin when I was in the northwest. But I also know that people's words are scary. If I rashly give my cousin gifts There will be those boring people who speculate."
He stood up and signaled Xiao Yuzhuo to follow him.
Jing Yannian was naturally not to be outdone, and walked beside Xiao Yuzhuo.
Li Tai asked someone to open the warehouse.
The cages inside were filled with tanned furs of various animals. Xiao Yuzhuo could only recognize red foxes, wolves, and deer, but she couldn't recognize other kinds of furs.
There is also the defeat of the Turks, which they plundered.
There are all kinds of exquisite gems, jewelry, and countless gold and silver.
"These things should be handed over to the imperial court, I dare not take them." Xiao Yuzhuo said immediately.
"Yuyu..." Li Tai opened his mouth and saw Xiao Yuzhuo frowning, he immediately changed his words, "Cousin misunderstood me, this is all my own, it was not captured during the war, and it was handed over to the court, and it was escorted by the army returning to Beijing , I gave my cousin a gift, how could I borrow flowers to present Buddha?"
Li Tai ordered people to carry all these things into Xiao Yuzhuo's carriage.
What a gift.
There are also two or three cages containing precious medicinal materials in the Northwest, which cannot be bought even if you have money in Chang'an City, or even in Daxia.
Even if it can be bought, it may not have such a quality.
Jing Yan is young and humming, is it bullying him to give his wife something like this in front of him?
Xiao Yuzhuo quickly declined, "Thank you King Yue for his kindness. King Yue fought in the northwest. These things are not easy to come by. Since I am King Yue, I will stay and enjoy them slowly. I don't have any merit, so I dare not accept it."
Li Tai suddenly looked at her with deep eyes, "No one else knows, so don't my cousin know why I am willing to fight in the northwest?"
Say this.
In the courtyard outside the warehouse, there was a sudden silence and the sound of needles dropping could be heard.
The lantern in the porch didn't seem to dare to shake anymore, and he looked at the smiling Li Tai and Jing Yannian who was full of anger.
"Naturally, it's for the current saint." Xiao Yuzhuo was startled for a moment, then said with a smile on his face.
There is no way to refute this, right?
How dare he say that he is not for the Holy One?That is outrageous!
But Xiao Yuzhuo forgot, Li Tai's temperament, when it goes crazy, what is treason?
"There are so many people who are willing to fight for the Holy One, and there is no shortage of me. I only want to protect the peace of my cousin. Even if my cousin wants the stars in the sky, I will ask someone to build a ladder to pick them off for my cousin." Li Tai looked at Xiao Yuzhuo said seriously.
The wind stopped, and the night birds did not dare to sing.
The yard was so quiet that not even the rustling of leaves could be heard.
Li Tai, he's... too blatant, isn't he?
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't know what to say for a while.
Jing Yannian snorted coldly, and shot Li Tai straight in the face.
Hitting people doesn't slap them in the face, Jing Yannian just hits them in the face, which is somewhat insulting.
Li Tai immediately dodged.
During his campaign in the Northwest, he had already developed his reflexes.
But after all, his skill was not as good as Jing Yannian's, and he was a little embarrassed just after the trick.
"I know I can't beat you, I won't do anything with you, can you stop my people, can you also stop my love for my cousin?" Li Tai suddenly stopped avoiding, stood still in the courtyard, smiling Looking at Jing Yannian.
"At the beginning, I concealed the feelings in my heart, and I didn't dare to mention it, because I was afraid that if I said it, it would hurt her."
Li Tai cleared his throat and smiled slightly.
"Now that I have returned from the northwest, today is different from the past. I can finally stand in front of you and everyone, and pour out my heart."
Li Tai's smile looked even more coquettish and handsome in the reflection of the lanterns in the corridor.
The smile on the corner of his mouth was as beautiful and firm as the moonlight.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I will disappoint His Royal Highness Yue Wang. I will never accept your intentions."
Jing Yannian was about to kick Li Tai's chest.
Xiao Yuzhuo's words made him barely stop.
Isn't her heart more important than anything else?
What Li Tai does is his business.
In Yuyu's heart, only he is the most precious.
Jing Yannian held Xiao Yuzhuo in his arms, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Yue, for giving me this opportunity, so that we can see each other clearly."
Li Tai's face froze, he lowered his eyes, hiding the sadness in his eyes, "Put the presents in the car for my cousin."
"Thank you His Royal Highness, but I can't accept this gift..."
"If you don't accept it, I'll send it to Xiao's house tomorrow with gongs and drums." Li Tai insisted.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly.
"It's not the behavior of a gentleman to force people like this." Jing Yannian said in a deep voice.
Li Tai laughed, "When did I say that I am a gentleman?"
His smile is so coquettish that it makes people dazzled.
Jing Yannian immediately turned sideways to block Xiao Yuzhuo's sight, "Don't look at him."
Xiao Yuzhuo rolled his eyes at Jing Yannian, turned around and walked out.
Li Tai still insisted on sending all the expensive gifts he brought back from the northwest to Xiao's house.
"Isn't the lord afraid that the princess will be angry, so he gave all these things to his servants?" the servant beside Li Tai said regretfully.
Li Tai still had a smile on his face, "Even if she was set ablaze to play with, what's the pity?"
The little servant was startled, and looked at His Royal Highness the King of Yue in astonishment.
The triumphant army arrived outside the city of Chang'an.
Generals and a small number of soldiers with outstanding military exploits will be selected and lined up to enter the city.
This battle lasted for a long time, and finally won a complete victory. The people of Chang'an were really happy.
In the city, the little ladies also spontaneously sang and danced in the streets to welcome the returning warriors and heroes.
There are also many little ladies throwing flowers, scented handkerchiefs, sachets, purses into the crowd...
Although the brave warriors lined up majestically, they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes.
What an honor!The people greeted him so grandly.
The royal road, which was wide enough to accommodate several carriages, was completely surrounded by the common people. Except for the road reserved for the warriors to pass by in line, other places followed each other side by side.
Hundreds of officials also came outside the palace, waiting for the grand triumph of the King of Yue and his soldiers.
"Report to Your Majesty—"
Above the golden hall, His Majesty's eyes were heavy and he could not see any emotion.
"His Royal Highness King Yue is not in the army." The guard reported.
Then the Holy Majesty suddenly raised his eyes, "What? He's not there? Then where is he?"
"It is said that the king of Yue has already entered the capital first, and he does not want to show off his power and receive congratulations from all the officials." The guard said.
The Holy Majesty snorted, "He knows how to restrain himself."
"Your Majesty, the King of Yue will see you." The palace servant reported outside the hall.
The Holy One narrowed his eyes, "I really know how to avoid the limelight, Xuan."
When Li Tai met the saint, he had already taken off his majestic armor.
Now that he is standing in the army that has returned in triumph, he might not look as majestic as his lieutenant general.
But there was a smile on the face of the Holy Majesty, "Tai'er is back, you have won the battle for me, you should accept the congratulations from all the officials, why did you enter the palace so low-key and quietly?"
"It is the duty of a son to fight for his father. It is not the son's credit to be able to win. The soldiers are the generals of the Holy One, the food and grass are the food and grass of the treasury, and even the firearms and chariots that defeated the enemy in the end were sent by the Holy One." Send it away. My servant dare not take credit for it." Li Tai cupped his hands and said slowly.
His face was clear and light, and there seemed to be no trace of arrogance.
Even the eunuchs around the Holy Majesty felt that King Yue was really humble.
In the past, not to mention being a prince, even ordinary generals would put on a show when they came back from victory.
His majestic prince, even a prince who has been named a prince, is so neither arrogant nor impetuous, which is really rare.
The Holy Majesty lowered his eyes and smiled, "You fought on the front line, no matter what, it was hard work. I will host a banquet in the palace for you and a few generals tonight. You should be congratulated by all the officials, so don't shirk it. "
Thank you Li Tai.
He also reported that the Turks were willing to submit to the contract of paying the old coins.
He also listed the meritorious deeds of several generals, and begged His Majesty to reward the generals waiting outside the hall for their merits. After these rituals were completed, he resigned and left.
Ordinarily speaking, Li Tai has done enough.
Even if the Holy One is picky, this son is enough to make him speechless.
The eunuchs all think so, King Yue is now more low-key than King Ji back then.
The merits are all given to the people who follow him, and he is not greedy for merits or aggressive.
I never thought about it, but the Holy One was different from what they thought.
As soon as King Yue left, the Holy Majesty's face darkened, "What is he trying to do? I am not greedy for merit, and I don't even show up to congratulate officials!"
The little eunuchs are not right when they hear His Majesty's tone?They all hold their breath and dare not make a sound.
"He himself is a marshal, he doesn't receive any credit, but he treats his generals kindly! This is using my grace to win people's hearts!" The Holy One said with a cold snort.
The little eunuchs exchanged looks secretly, knowing each other, and didn't interrupt much.
"People don't seek small gains, they must have bigger schemes! He is not satisfied with being a prince, what he seeks is greater power, a higher status!" Sheng Shang angrily patted his dragon chair.
On the golden dragon chair, engraved winding and rising auspicious clouds, in the auspicious clouds, a golden dragon is half hidden, and the red gold dragon claws are sharp and vigorous.
The Holy Majesty narrowed his eyes, "I am still young and strong, so how can others covet my chair?"
The banquet that night had already been arranged by the Holy One.
All the officials knew that King Yue avoided the court congratulations at the gate of the palace that day, so they should congratulate him at the dinner party.
The atmosphere at the banquet was relaxed, and it was good to take this opportunity to make friends with Yue Wang Panpan.
The Holy One arrives.
All the officials at the banquet were excited, the Holy Majesty was going to announce the gift to the King of Yue.
They were all ready to congratulate King Yue.
The Holy One is high above, and his smile has a deep meaning, "King Xuanyue, King Wu enters the palace."
The little eunuch immediately sang.
Announcing the two princes to enter the palace together at the same time?
The expressions of the officials were a little confused.
Seeing that King Yue and King Wu were both dressed in fine clothes prescribed by princes, they seemed to share honor and favor equally, and they were evenly matched.
"Tonight, I have two happy events, and I want to announce them grandly in public." The Holy Majesty got up and looked down at the courtiers and the two princes.
"My lovers should know these two things. First, the king of Yue won the victory and ordered the Turks to surrender. The Turks, who had been enemies with Daxia for many years, finally became the vassal state of Daxia. I am so happy! Northwest finally It's safe for the country and the people!
Second, when I was young, I lost a beloved son.But thanks to God's blessing, I was told to meet his mother again and recognize this child as my child from back then.No wonder I felt speculative when I saw this child for the first time!This is a blood relationship! "
After the Holy Majesty finished speaking, the little eunuch sang to invite Concubine De to the palace.
The officials were dumbfounded.
It was supposed to congratulate the King of Yue alone, and this dinner should also be held for the King of Yue and the victorious generals.
Now I have to congratulate Empress Defei and His Highness Wu Wang first.
Amidst the congratulations, the generals following King Yue changed their colors slightly.
Li Tai looked at Jing Yannian with a faint smile.
"Since I have recognized this son, I will change the surname back to another country and record it in the genealogy in front of all the officials today." The Holy Majesty announced.
Jing Yannian suddenly raised his robe and knelt down, "Whether I am the son of the Holy Majesty or a subject of the Holy Majesty, I am equally loyal to the Holy Majesty. When I was loyal to the Holy Majesty, I did not know that I have the honor of the emperor's surname. I would like to maintain a loyal heart and not ask for the honor and favor that a courtier should not ask for extravagantly."
What he said was euphemistic.
But the meaning of rejecting Li's surname is expressed so that everyone here can understand.
There was an uproar at the banquet.
General Jing, is this foolish, loyal, and stupid?
Don't even want the royal surname?Can a prince with a royal surname be the same as a king with a different surname?
To refuse to be included in the genealogy is to refuse the right of inheritance!
Was he missing a last name?What is missing is the throne!
Li Tai frowned and glanced at Jing Yannian, "Are you avoiding my limelight?"
He asked in a low voice, but in the uproar of the hall, Jing Yannian was close enough to hear clearly.
Jing Yannian smiled slightly, "You don't want me to be like this. I gave up the imperial power just to get closer to her."
Li Tai's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I have made up my mind, so there is no need for King Wu to shirk it! The supervisor of ceremonies is preparing for the etiquette of enshrining the king. There will be no Jing Yannian in the future, only my beloved son, Li Shuo."
The Holy Majesty seemed to have made up his mind to ask Jing Yannian to share Li Tai's limelight.
After the imperial decree, the congratulations of the officials were like the tide surging.
Jing Yannian, oh, it's Li Shuo now, so he can only kneel down to thank him.
Li Tai squinted and smiled at him, "It doesn't seem like you can do whatever you want? Power is a good thing, it can help others, but it can also harm others."
After congratulating Jing Yannian, it is the congratulations to King Yue.
Amidst the congratulations from everyone, Li Tai sat in his seat with a calm face.
Jing Yannian sat opposite him.
After talking about the two princes, congratulations to the rest of the generals.
These things have been decided during the day, and now it is just another formality to ask the ministers to congratulate the generals.
Yuan Jiangtao and Zhou Yanwu, who followed Li Tai, were both named rank three generals.
After Yuan Jiangtao was awarded the title of General Huaihua, he also gave him a mansion.
Zhou Yanwu's mansion is still under renovation and construction, and he has not yet gone to Xiao's house to pick up Zhou Changkang.
Yuan Jiangtao couldn't sit still, and immediately invited a matchmaker to Xiao's house to propose marriage.
Many little maids pushed the bamboo incense and hid outside the hall, excitedly eavesdropping on what was said inside.
"General Yuan means to marry from Xiao's house. The lights and festoons at the general's mansion are the regulations for marrying the general's wife." Maid. If you marry her back, she will be the first wife of the general's mansion!"
The maid who was eavesdropping outside the door had a look of envy on her face, and her eyes almost popped out when she stared at Zhuxiang.
"To tell the truth, in General Yuan's eyes, I'm afraid this little lady born in Chang'an is not as good as Miss Zhuxiang alone!" The matchmaker laughed.
(End of this chapter)
The little eunuch was helpless, he really couldn't wait any longer, his waist would be broken if he persisted any longer!
He didn't dare to stand up rashly, and he didn't dare to make himself fall to the ground, so he could only remind him aloud.
The Holy Majesty turned around, "I thought of a word, Gongli, you said I thought of this..."
He took the tea soup, but found that it was a young eunuch, not Liang Gongli, who served the tea soup.
He frowned slightly, and then remembered that Liang Gongli refused to share the "fairy medicine" with him, and persuaded him to quit the medicine many times.
It is said that the elder of the Xiao family has completely given up drugs now, and is quite respected.
Impatient with Liang Gongli's advice, he kicked Liang Gongli away from the court.
I don't know where to be on duty right now?
"He Chun, tell me, the king of Yue has come back at this time and has received a lot of praise. Isn't it suspected that he has made great achievements?" The emperor said.
The little eunuch was shocked, "Your Majesty, this slave dare not say that."
"Say, I forgive you for your innocence." The Holy Majesty put the teacup aside and told him to stand up.
"King Ji was demoted and is still in custody. King Yue won, and the voice was loud. The ministers of the court are praising King Yue every day. I'm afraid that next time, they will force the Holy Majesty to establish the East Palace!" said the little eunuch.
The Holy One snorted coldly, "I am still young and strong! What matters when the East Palace is established?"
"Did your Majesty forget why the King of Yue led his troops northward from Wancheng?" said the little eunuch.
As soon as His Majesty said, "Great achievements overwhelm the Lord", he guessed His Majesty's mind.
Every word and every sentence speaks to the heart of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Majesty looked at him more and more pleasingly, "I have not forgotten that I was trapped in Jiuyi Mountain at that time. Is he going north to save me, or is he planning to take advantage of the rebellion of the former prince...Hmph, he knows it, and I know it too!"
"Now that the king of Yue is victorious, his prestige is great, the sage must guard against it!" said the little eunuch.
The Holy One narrowed his eyes.
"Designation, I want to announce to the world—"
The little eunuch looked at the Holy Majesty in astonishment, what is he going to announce now?If you want to release King Ji to fight against King Yue, will this change?
"Let the world know that King Wu is not a king with a different surname, but my son. His surname is not Jing, but Li!"
His Majesty's voice echoed in the hall.
The little eunuch was stunned for a long time before bowing in astonishment.
The imperial decree was announced the next day.
There was an uproar in Chang'an City.
"No wonder General Jing has been favored by His Majesty for many years! It turns out he is His Majesty's son!"
"General Jing looks similar to Shengshang, and his temperament is also similar to Shengshang when he was young!"
"In this way, when the Holy Majesty was still King Xiang, he had the son of General Jing!"
"Now the Holy Majesty prefers the King of Yue? Or the King of Wu?"
Originally, the position of the crown prince seemed to have been settled on the head of Yue Wang, but now something happened again.
King Ji fell, but now King Wu has become his own son.
It is true that the King of Yue won the battle, but in terms of military merit, isn't General Jing better than the King of Yue?
The king of Yue had not yet arrived in Chang'an.
The aristocrats in Chang'an City were moved upon hearing the news, and the Prince Wu's Mansion was crowded with people who came to congratulate him every day.
Xiao Yuzhuo was annoyed, "Don't say it sooner or later, but at this time! What kind of idea is he thinking, Majesty, to treat everyone else as fools!"
"Miss, be careful!" Mei Xiang hastily persuaded.
"Beware of this, beware of that! I've never seen someone who is an old man who takes the initiative to instigate a quarrel with his son!" Xiao Yuzhuo patted the table.
Mei Xiang was in a hurry, "Miss, be careful that your hands hurt!"
"Hmph, when everyone is like him, he is rare for his throne! Tell his sons to fight, and he will be happy if they all fight to death!" Xiao Yuzhuo said angrily.
"Lady!" Mei Xiang exclaimed.
"Okay, okay," Xiao Yuzhuo waved his hand, "Tell me at home, is there any outsider in my own room?"
Mei Xiang patted her chest, "My servant has never seen you speak so freely, I'm afraid that if you really take this to the outside world, it will cause disaster!"
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "Isn't this calamity not big enough now? The King of Yue won the victory, and before he entered Chang'an, there were many congratulators gathered in front of Xiuyuan's gate. Just in the king's favor, Xiuyuan was asked to share the king's limelight , can King Yue feel happy?"
"I don't care if he is happy or not." Someone outside the door suddenly said with a laugh.
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback, "Xiuyuan?"
Jing Yannian lifted the curtain and entered, "I care about whether you are happy or not."
Mei Xiang blushed immediately, and quickly backed away.
Jing Yannian sat down beside Xiao Yuzhuo, brought her tea bowl, and took a sip.
His lips just touched hers.
Xiao Yuzhuo stretched out his hand to stop her, but he gulped down half a bowl with her lips imprinted.
Xiao Yuzhuo's face became slightly hot.
He put down the tea bowl, "Since you are not happy, how can I still dare to meet those congratulators?"
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "Don't think about it too much, it's up to you whether you see it or not."
"When the Holy Majesty didn't announce my identity to the world, I was not in a hurry. It just never occurred to me that I was going to fight for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord." Jing Yannian looked at Xiao Yuzhuo and said, "What is there above ten thousand people?" Okay? You have to worry about the world, and you have to worry about the harem. Even you make me worry, but if you have the whole harem, don’t you worry me to death?”
"Bah, you are so beautiful, you still want a harem?!" Xiao Yuzhuo stared at him.
Jing Yannian's eyebrows were crooked, but his eyes were clear, "Don't dare, dare not."
"The king of Yue has a perverse personality. I'm afraid that he will be jealous of you and be harmful to you." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice.
Jing Yannian immediately held her hand, "With this sentence, even if he wants to kill me, I am satisfied."
Under his scorching gaze, Xiao Yuzhuo blushed a little, "Let go!"
"I won't let you go. I can't let you go until King Yue comes back. Now that he's back, I can't let you go! I can't wait to marry you back to the mansion right away!" Jing Yannian said in her ear.
Xiao Yuzhuo's blushing face, in Jing Yannian's view, was extraordinarily delicate and cute.
He couldn't help reaching out and hugging her in his arms.
How wonderful it would be if this was not the Xiao family, but his Prince Wu's mansion.
Ask someone to guard him outside, he can do whatever he wants without worrying too much!
But now that he is in the Xiao family, he has to pay attention to his words and deeds.
"Yuyu, I miss you so much, do you know?" He held her in his arms and whispered in her ear.
His breath, in her ears, stained her cheeks, dyed half of her face red.
"Let go! You apprentice!" Xiao Yuzhuo pushed him with a blushing face.
"I beg His Highness King Wu!" Someone outside the door suddenly said respectfully.
Xiao Yuzhuo was startled, and immediately broke free from Jing Yannian's arms.
He hugged and hugged her so much that it wrinkled her decent clothes.
She hurriedly arranged her headdress and clothes.
Jing Yannian looked at her with a full smile, seeing the embarrassment and unnaturalness on her face, but the smile in his eyes grew stronger.
After she finished tidying up, Jing Yannian coughed lightly and called someone to come in to report.
"Report to the King of Wu, His Royal Highness the King of Yue did not enter Chang'an with the army, but entered the city quietly this morning." The subordinate reported.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback.
But the guard continued: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue sent an invitation to invite the King of Wu to attend the banquet at the Palace of the King of Wu tonight."
The room fell silent for a while.
Jing Yannian was obviously also a little surprised.
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes widened, he looked at the guard, and then turned to look at Jing Yannian.
Jing Yannian reacted faster, "King Yue invited many people, or just me?"
"The King of Yue entered Chang'an City quietly, and most of the bystanders don't know that the King of Yue has returned. According to my humble inquiry, the King of Yue only invited his highness." The guard said in a deep voice.
Jing Yannian nodded and told people to step back.
Xiao Yuzhuo immediately worried and said: "If he enters the capital with the army, and there are people lining the road to welcome him, the people will sing and dance, and the momentum will be extraordinary. The excitement in your house will not be so conspicuous. But now, he came back quietly, no one went to congratulate him, but Seeing that others are going to Wu Wangfu to support you, what will he think in his heart?"
"He can do whatever he wants." Jing Yannian reached out and took Xiao Yuzhuo's hand.
She has a tough temper, not like a little lady, but like a man.
But her hand was extremely soft, holding it softly, making people nostalgic.
He squinted, his face full of enjoyment.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "He will invite you to the banquet as soon as he comes back, aren't you afraid that it will be a grand banquet?"
Jing Yannian raised his eyebrows, "Thank you Yuyu for caring about me!"
Seeing that he wanted to pull her into his arms again, Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help being annoyed, "Who cares about you! If it wasn't for Chong Wu's sake of having a father, I wouldn't care about you!"
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Jing Yannian quickly coaxed her, "Yuyu, don't be angry, he just came back from victory, his heart is high, even if he sees me threatening his throne, he won't attack me at this time .and rest assured!"
Jing Yannian comforted Xiao Yuzhuo softly.
Seeing that he was tall and long-legged, and striding away, she still couldn't help but worry about him.
She doesn't know how rare Li Tai is about the throne.
But thinking of the way Li Tai looked at her time and time again, she felt nervous.
"Go and prepare a gift!" Xiao Yuzhuo ordered, "It's fine if you don't know about the triumphant return of the King of Yue. Now that you know about it, you should congratulate him!"
Didn't Li Tai invite Jing Yannian to the banquet?
Instead of cranky worries at home, go see for yourself.
This is probably the difference between Xiao Yuzhuo and other little ladies.
The little lady next to her was concerned, and she waited quietly behind, or went to ask for a lottery, pray for a blessing.
Fortunately, she directly prepared the manpower, brought gifts, and rushed to the palace before the dinner.
Jing Yan was born early.
Before Xiao Yuzhuo arrived, the King of Yue had already invited him to the table.
The table is not small, and there are already more than 20 kinds of cold dishes that have been put on the table.
There is a big food table in front of the two of them, and it is full of dazzling arrays.
"The Northwest Army is frugal, and suddenly seeing the extravagance of Chang'an City, I'm really not used to it." Li Tai looked down at the table in front of him and chuckled lightly.
Jing Yannian lowered his eyes slightly, "The king of Yue has worked hard and fought for years, it's time to come back and enjoy the happiness."
Li Tai laughed when he heard this, "I dare not take credit in front of you."
It's not like Jing Yannian has never been to the Northwest.
"When I was in the northwest, after all, it was not as difficult as when the King of Yue was in danger and was ordered to do so." Jing Yannian said slowly.
Li Tai smiled, "I don't care if it's difficult or not, after all, I asked for my order to go."
Jing Yannian squinted his eyes, wondering what he wanted to say when he invited him to the banquet.
Just as he had guessed, this was really not a Hongmen banquet. There were no ambush inside or outside the banquet hall.
If there is an ambush in the distance, with his ability, he can easily leave the Yue Palace without waiting for those people to approach.
The King of Yue fought with him before, so he should be aware of his abilities.
"The only thing that surprises me is that you and I are brothers! What a surprise!" Li Tai raised his glass and respected Jing Yannian, "Should I call you brother?"
Jing Yanqing raised his glass with a young smile, "I dare not be that."
"Everyone in the world thinks that I'm unhappy, and that I'll be jealous of you. But to be honest," Li Tai laughed, "I'm quite happy, from the bottom of my heart."
Jing Yannian narrowed his eyes.
"In this way, it will be more fair between you and me." Li Tai said.
"Fair?" Jing Yannian was slightly taken aback.
Li Tai raised his head and took a sip of wine, "Do you know why I raised troops from Wancheng? Do you know why I volunteered to go to the northwest at the most difficult time?"
Jing Yannian frowned at him, "Do you want to make contributions?"
Li Taiha laughed, but before he could speak, he listened to the boy outside saying:
"The princess came to visit with a gift—"
The two men in the room were slightly taken aback.
Jing Yannian looked out from the side.
He didn't see that Li Tai's face lit up almost instantly.
Xiao Yuzhuo was invited into the banquet hall.
Mei Xiang immediately stepped forward to present the gift list.
"Yuyu has a gift for me. It just so happens that I also have a gift for Yuyu." Li Tai took the gift list and put it in his arms.
With such an intimate name, Jing Yannian's complexion suddenly became ugly.
"His Royal Highness, please respect yourself."
The polite temptation of you coming and going at the banquet just now became tense.
"Why, what does His Highness King Wu call Yuyu?" Li Tai asked with a smile on his face.
Jing Yannian frowned, "I have an unusual relationship with Yuyu, even calling her by her boudoir name is not inappropriate."
"Yuyu is your cousin, so naturally she is also my cousin, why not me?" Li Tai said intentionally.
Jing Yannian's handsome face darkened, "Yuyu is my wife!"
Li Tai pretended to be surprised, "When did you get married?"
Isn't this asking knowingly, poking a knife into someone's heart?
Jing Yannian's face was livid.
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and said: "Although General Jing and I are reconciled, we used to be husband and wife after all. Now we are reunited after a broken mirror, but we just wait for an imperial decree from the Holy Spirit. In my heart, this relationship is naturally different from that of my cousin."
Seeing Xiao Yuzhuo actively speaking for Jing Yannian, Li Tai's eyes were a little sour.
A smile appeared on the corner of Jing Yannian's mouth, and his whole face became moist.
Li Tai immediately changed the subject and said, "I came back from the northwest and brought some gifts for my cousin. I originally planned to send them back to my cousin when I was in the northwest. But I also know that people's words are scary. If I rashly give my cousin gifts There will be those boring people who speculate."
He stood up and signaled Xiao Yuzhuo to follow him.
Jing Yannian was naturally not to be outdone, and walked beside Xiao Yuzhuo.
Li Tai asked someone to open the warehouse.
The cages inside were filled with tanned furs of various animals. Xiao Yuzhuo could only recognize red foxes, wolves, and deer, but she couldn't recognize other kinds of furs.
There is also the defeat of the Turks, which they plundered.
There are all kinds of exquisite gems, jewelry, and countless gold and silver.
"These things should be handed over to the imperial court, I dare not take them." Xiao Yuzhuo said immediately.
"Yuyu..." Li Tai opened his mouth and saw Xiao Yuzhuo frowning, he immediately changed his words, "Cousin misunderstood me, this is all my own, it was not captured during the war, and it was handed over to the court, and it was escorted by the army returning to Beijing , I gave my cousin a gift, how could I borrow flowers to present Buddha?"
Li Tai ordered people to carry all these things into Xiao Yuzhuo's carriage.
What a gift.
There are also two or three cages containing precious medicinal materials in the Northwest, which cannot be bought even if you have money in Chang'an City, or even in Daxia.
Even if it can be bought, it may not have such a quality.
Jing Yan is young and humming, is it bullying him to give his wife something like this in front of him?
Xiao Yuzhuo quickly declined, "Thank you King Yue for his kindness. King Yue fought in the northwest. These things are not easy to come by. Since I am King Yue, I will stay and enjoy them slowly. I don't have any merit, so I dare not accept it."
Li Tai suddenly looked at her with deep eyes, "No one else knows, so don't my cousin know why I am willing to fight in the northwest?"
Say this.
In the courtyard outside the warehouse, there was a sudden silence and the sound of needles dropping could be heard.
The lantern in the porch didn't seem to dare to shake anymore, and he looked at the smiling Li Tai and Jing Yannian who was full of anger.
"Naturally, it's for the current saint." Xiao Yuzhuo was startled for a moment, then said with a smile on his face.
There is no way to refute this, right?
How dare he say that he is not for the Holy One?That is outrageous!
But Xiao Yuzhuo forgot, Li Tai's temperament, when it goes crazy, what is treason?
"There are so many people who are willing to fight for the Holy One, and there is no shortage of me. I only want to protect the peace of my cousin. Even if my cousin wants the stars in the sky, I will ask someone to build a ladder to pick them off for my cousin." Li Tai looked at Xiao Yuzhuo said seriously.
The wind stopped, and the night birds did not dare to sing.
The yard was so quiet that not even the rustling of leaves could be heard.
Li Tai, he's... too blatant, isn't he?
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't know what to say for a while.
Jing Yannian snorted coldly, and shot Li Tai straight in the face.
Hitting people doesn't slap them in the face, Jing Yannian just hits them in the face, which is somewhat insulting.
Li Tai immediately dodged.
During his campaign in the Northwest, he had already developed his reflexes.
But after all, his skill was not as good as Jing Yannian's, and he was a little embarrassed just after the trick.
"I know I can't beat you, I won't do anything with you, can you stop my people, can you also stop my love for my cousin?" Li Tai suddenly stopped avoiding, stood still in the courtyard, smiling Looking at Jing Yannian.
"At the beginning, I concealed the feelings in my heart, and I didn't dare to mention it, because I was afraid that if I said it, it would hurt her."
Li Tai cleared his throat and smiled slightly.
"Now that I have returned from the northwest, today is different from the past. I can finally stand in front of you and everyone, and pour out my heart."
Li Tai's smile looked even more coquettish and handsome in the reflection of the lanterns in the corridor.
The smile on the corner of his mouth was as beautiful and firm as the moonlight.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I will disappoint His Royal Highness Yue Wang. I will never accept your intentions."
Jing Yannian was about to kick Li Tai's chest.
Xiao Yuzhuo's words made him barely stop.
Isn't her heart more important than anything else?
What Li Tai does is his business.
In Yuyu's heart, only he is the most precious.
Jing Yannian held Xiao Yuzhuo in his arms, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Yue, for giving me this opportunity, so that we can see each other clearly."
Li Tai's face froze, he lowered his eyes, hiding the sadness in his eyes, "Put the presents in the car for my cousin."
"Thank you His Royal Highness, but I can't accept this gift..."
"If you don't accept it, I'll send it to Xiao's house tomorrow with gongs and drums." Li Tai insisted.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly.
"It's not the behavior of a gentleman to force people like this." Jing Yannian said in a deep voice.
Li Tai laughed, "When did I say that I am a gentleman?"
His smile is so coquettish that it makes people dazzled.
Jing Yannian immediately turned sideways to block Xiao Yuzhuo's sight, "Don't look at him."
Xiao Yuzhuo rolled his eyes at Jing Yannian, turned around and walked out.
Li Tai still insisted on sending all the expensive gifts he brought back from the northwest to Xiao's house.
"Isn't the lord afraid that the princess will be angry, so he gave all these things to his servants?" the servant beside Li Tai said regretfully.
Li Tai still had a smile on his face, "Even if she was set ablaze to play with, what's the pity?"
The little servant was startled, and looked at His Royal Highness the King of Yue in astonishment.
The triumphant army arrived outside the city of Chang'an.
Generals and a small number of soldiers with outstanding military exploits will be selected and lined up to enter the city.
This battle lasted for a long time, and finally won a complete victory. The people of Chang'an were really happy.
In the city, the little ladies also spontaneously sang and danced in the streets to welcome the returning warriors and heroes.
There are also many little ladies throwing flowers, scented handkerchiefs, sachets, purses into the crowd...
Although the brave warriors lined up majestically, they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes.
What an honor!The people greeted him so grandly.
The royal road, which was wide enough to accommodate several carriages, was completely surrounded by the common people. Except for the road reserved for the warriors to pass by in line, other places followed each other side by side.
Hundreds of officials also came outside the palace, waiting for the grand triumph of the King of Yue and his soldiers.
"Report to Your Majesty—"
Above the golden hall, His Majesty's eyes were heavy and he could not see any emotion.
"His Royal Highness King Yue is not in the army." The guard reported.
Then the Holy Majesty suddenly raised his eyes, "What? He's not there? Then where is he?"
"It is said that the king of Yue has already entered the capital first, and he does not want to show off his power and receive congratulations from all the officials." The guard said.
The Holy Majesty snorted, "He knows how to restrain himself."
"Your Majesty, the King of Yue will see you." The palace servant reported outside the hall.
The Holy One narrowed his eyes, "I really know how to avoid the limelight, Xuan."
When Li Tai met the saint, he had already taken off his majestic armor.
Now that he is standing in the army that has returned in triumph, he might not look as majestic as his lieutenant general.
But there was a smile on the face of the Holy Majesty, "Tai'er is back, you have won the battle for me, you should accept the congratulations from all the officials, why did you enter the palace so low-key and quietly?"
"It is the duty of a son to fight for his father. It is not the son's credit to be able to win. The soldiers are the generals of the Holy One, the food and grass are the food and grass of the treasury, and even the firearms and chariots that defeated the enemy in the end were sent by the Holy One." Send it away. My servant dare not take credit for it." Li Tai cupped his hands and said slowly.
His face was clear and light, and there seemed to be no trace of arrogance.
Even the eunuchs around the Holy Majesty felt that King Yue was really humble.
In the past, not to mention being a prince, even ordinary generals would put on a show when they came back from victory.
His majestic prince, even a prince who has been named a prince, is so neither arrogant nor impetuous, which is really rare.
The Holy Majesty lowered his eyes and smiled, "You fought on the front line, no matter what, it was hard work. I will host a banquet in the palace for you and a few generals tonight. You should be congratulated by all the officials, so don't shirk it. "
Thank you Li Tai.
He also reported that the Turks were willing to submit to the contract of paying the old coins.
He also listed the meritorious deeds of several generals, and begged His Majesty to reward the generals waiting outside the hall for their merits. After these rituals were completed, he resigned and left.
Ordinarily speaking, Li Tai has done enough.
Even if the Holy One is picky, this son is enough to make him speechless.
The eunuchs all think so, King Yue is now more low-key than King Ji back then.
The merits are all given to the people who follow him, and he is not greedy for merits or aggressive.
I never thought about it, but the Holy One was different from what they thought.
As soon as King Yue left, the Holy Majesty's face darkened, "What is he trying to do? I am not greedy for merit, and I don't even show up to congratulate officials!"
The little eunuchs are not right when they hear His Majesty's tone?They all hold their breath and dare not make a sound.
"He himself is a marshal, he doesn't receive any credit, but he treats his generals kindly! This is using my grace to win people's hearts!" The Holy One said with a cold snort.
The little eunuchs exchanged looks secretly, knowing each other, and didn't interrupt much.
"People don't seek small gains, they must have bigger schemes! He is not satisfied with being a prince, what he seeks is greater power, a higher status!" Sheng Shang angrily patted his dragon chair.
On the golden dragon chair, engraved winding and rising auspicious clouds, in the auspicious clouds, a golden dragon is half hidden, and the red gold dragon claws are sharp and vigorous.
The Holy Majesty narrowed his eyes, "I am still young and strong, so how can others covet my chair?"
The banquet that night had already been arranged by the Holy One.
All the officials knew that King Yue avoided the court congratulations at the gate of the palace that day, so they should congratulate him at the dinner party.
The atmosphere at the banquet was relaxed, and it was good to take this opportunity to make friends with Yue Wang Panpan.
The Holy One arrives.
All the officials at the banquet were excited, the Holy Majesty was going to announce the gift to the King of Yue.
They were all ready to congratulate King Yue.
The Holy One is high above, and his smile has a deep meaning, "King Xuanyue, King Wu enters the palace."
The little eunuch immediately sang.
Announcing the two princes to enter the palace together at the same time?
The expressions of the officials were a little confused.
Seeing that King Yue and King Wu were both dressed in fine clothes prescribed by princes, they seemed to share honor and favor equally, and they were evenly matched.
"Tonight, I have two happy events, and I want to announce them grandly in public." The Holy Majesty got up and looked down at the courtiers and the two princes.
"My lovers should know these two things. First, the king of Yue won the victory and ordered the Turks to surrender. The Turks, who had been enemies with Daxia for many years, finally became the vassal state of Daxia. I am so happy! Northwest finally It's safe for the country and the people!
Second, when I was young, I lost a beloved son.But thanks to God's blessing, I was told to meet his mother again and recognize this child as my child from back then.No wonder I felt speculative when I saw this child for the first time!This is a blood relationship! "
After the Holy Majesty finished speaking, the little eunuch sang to invite Concubine De to the palace.
The officials were dumbfounded.
It was supposed to congratulate the King of Yue alone, and this dinner should also be held for the King of Yue and the victorious generals.
Now I have to congratulate Empress Defei and His Highness Wu Wang first.
Amidst the congratulations, the generals following King Yue changed their colors slightly.
Li Tai looked at Jing Yannian with a faint smile.
"Since I have recognized this son, I will change the surname back to another country and record it in the genealogy in front of all the officials today." The Holy Majesty announced.
Jing Yannian suddenly raised his robe and knelt down, "Whether I am the son of the Holy Majesty or a subject of the Holy Majesty, I am equally loyal to the Holy Majesty. When I was loyal to the Holy Majesty, I did not know that I have the honor of the emperor's surname. I would like to maintain a loyal heart and not ask for the honor and favor that a courtier should not ask for extravagantly."
What he said was euphemistic.
But the meaning of rejecting Li's surname is expressed so that everyone here can understand.
There was an uproar at the banquet.
General Jing, is this foolish, loyal, and stupid?
Don't even want the royal surname?Can a prince with a royal surname be the same as a king with a different surname?
To refuse to be included in the genealogy is to refuse the right of inheritance!
Was he missing a last name?What is missing is the throne!
Li Tai frowned and glanced at Jing Yannian, "Are you avoiding my limelight?"
He asked in a low voice, but in the uproar of the hall, Jing Yannian was close enough to hear clearly.
Jing Yannian smiled slightly, "You don't want me to be like this. I gave up the imperial power just to get closer to her."
Li Tai's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I have made up my mind, so there is no need for King Wu to shirk it! The supervisor of ceremonies is preparing for the etiquette of enshrining the king. There will be no Jing Yannian in the future, only my beloved son, Li Shuo."
The Holy Majesty seemed to have made up his mind to ask Jing Yannian to share Li Tai's limelight.
After the imperial decree, the congratulations of the officials were like the tide surging.
Jing Yannian, oh, it's Li Shuo now, so he can only kneel down to thank him.
Li Tai squinted and smiled at him, "It doesn't seem like you can do whatever you want? Power is a good thing, it can help others, but it can also harm others."
After congratulating Jing Yannian, it is the congratulations to King Yue.
Amidst the congratulations from everyone, Li Tai sat in his seat with a calm face.
Jing Yannian sat opposite him.
After talking about the two princes, congratulations to the rest of the generals.
These things have been decided during the day, and now it is just another formality to ask the ministers to congratulate the generals.
Yuan Jiangtao and Zhou Yanwu, who followed Li Tai, were both named rank three generals.
After Yuan Jiangtao was awarded the title of General Huaihua, he also gave him a mansion.
Zhou Yanwu's mansion is still under renovation and construction, and he has not yet gone to Xiao's house to pick up Zhou Changkang.
Yuan Jiangtao couldn't sit still, and immediately invited a matchmaker to Xiao's house to propose marriage.
Many little maids pushed the bamboo incense and hid outside the hall, excitedly eavesdropping on what was said inside.
"General Yuan means to marry from Xiao's house. The lights and festoons at the general's mansion are the regulations for marrying the general's wife." Maid. If you marry her back, she will be the first wife of the general's mansion!"
The maid who was eavesdropping outside the door had a look of envy on her face, and her eyes almost popped out when she stared at Zhuxiang.
"To tell the truth, in General Yuan's eyes, I'm afraid this little lady born in Chang'an is not as good as Miss Zhuxiang alone!" The matchmaker laughed.
