Volume 1 The Young Man Chapter 53 The Imperial Banquet of His Majesty the Emperor
It's just a lunch for the leaders of the martial arts conference of the two courts, so do you need to invite the generals of the dynasty and the national teachers over?
Thinking of Master Yang Xiudao's explanation in the National Teacher's Mansion in the morning, Chen Linci could think of it with his feet that there must be extremely important things to talk about today, but he didn't know what His Majesty meant by letting him sit here when talking about such state affairs.
"Being able to defeat Shen Haoyuan in the Kaiyang realm, you young man is a bit interesting. His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be very interested in chatting a few words, the wine and food on the table had been prepared, he picked up a few slices of beef and put them in his mouth, chewed and swallowed before continuing: "Old man Ren was in a hurry at the time, for fear that your kid would hurt his precious apprentice without knowing the severity of his attack, and rushed over with a dodge, so many years, it is the first time I have seen him so gaffe." ”
"Your Majesty has won the prize, and the grass people just won half a trick by luck, not as godly as you said. Chen Linci replied respectfully, this sentence came from the bottom of his heart without any lies, if it wasn't for the monstrous attack of swallowing the sea, he really couldn't beat Shen Haoyuan in the Kaiyang realm.
"Since ancient times, heroes have been born of teenagers, you kid don't have to be so modest. Yu Tianxiong Yu said with a smile: "In the past few months, my precious granddaughter has not praised you less, you kid also don't know each other, I Lao Yu invited a few people in this big Chu country who are not competing to come to it, you are good, you refused me three times, if it weren't for the banquet given by Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this old guy will not be blessed to share a table with you in this life." ”
"General Yu's words are tormenting the boy, he is really busy with his homework, and he doesn't want to hear other people's rumors and ruin the reputation of the young lady, please forgive me. "General Yu's words are full of sourness, but anyone with a discerning eye can hear the meaning of cherishing talents, which can make the battle-hardened old general value it so much, although Yu Jun's praise is included, but Chen Linci understands, I am afraid that General Chi will not say a few good words for himself.
The Great Chu military has always admired the strong man who matches martial virtue and force, and Chen Linci's punching of Bai Aya to save Yu Jun that day is undoubtedly in line with these two points perfectly, especially after Xie invited General Yu several times, and erected his image of not admiring Ronghua.
If General Yu knew that Chen Linci deliberately kept a distance from him because he was afraid of death, he was afraid that he would spit out a mouthful of old blood and secretly hate himself for being blind.
"General Yu, don't make fun of this kid, seeing that he hasn't eaten yet, let's let him eat something first, let's talk about business." Master Yang Xiudao, who had not spoken, finally opened his mouth to relieve Chen Linci.
Glancing at Master gratefully, Chen Linci picked up the golden chopsticks and ate some food.
His Majesty the Emperor was like the patriarch of a family at this time, without the slightest shelf of the Ninety-Five Supreme, and Master Yang Xiudao and General Yu Tianxiong seemed to be accustomed to this state, and they did not have the same scruples and etiquette between their words as they did in the main hall.
After a while, the white-haired Emperor Tianxi put down the chopsticks in his hand and finally spoke.
"I summoned you here today, firstly, it is a common practice in the palace to give a banquet for the young men who won the two houses of the martial arts conference, and secondly, there is also a big event to talk about. ”
"Dean Hu has been traveling to China for several months, and everyone knows that his destination this time is Vietnam. ”
"But what everyone doesn't know is that the envoy of the Yue Emperor came to the audience half a year ago, saying that the Western Jin Dynasty was plotting to destroy Yue, and the Mangcang Mountains had been disturbed by the Western Jin Dynasty soldiers, and they came to ask for reinforcements to help. ”
"But yesterday, Dean Hu sent a secret letter that the Western Jin Dynasty had moved troops on a large scale, and I am afraid that this war is inevitable. His Majesty the Emperor sighed and said solemnly: "Not to mention that my Great Chu and Yue are neighboring countries with a strip of water, just talking about the truth of cold lips and teeth, we must also send reinforcements this time." “
"Your Majesty has a point. "Old General Yu is sitting next to the mighty general Xing Weiqi of the current dynasty, General Xing has been fighting horses all his life, and the murderous aura on his body is only a lot more than that of Old General Yu, "I have long seen that the Western Jin Dynasty is unhappy with the eight calves, relying on the fact that there is a retreat immortal palace in charge, so I don't take other countries in my eyes, if we destroy the Yue Kingdom this time, next time this group of straight thieves will have to put their claws into the territory of our Chu State!"
General Yu pondered for a moment and said: "This is definitely to support the Yue country, but how to support, how many troops to support, and to what extent to help is another problem. ”
His Majesty the Emperor Tianxi said with a smile: "I have already discussed with the national teacher, this time to support the Yue Kingdom, on the battlefield of the bright face, led by General Ding Liyi Ding, with 100,000 soldiers and horses, sitting in the Mangcang Mountains. Secretly, I decided to put this year's Six Courtyards Competition in Yue Kingdom, and based on the results of the review of merit and performance, it was determined that the final three people would enter the Heavenly Dao Academy's Enlightenment Divine Stone. ”
"Your Majesty is wise. General Yu stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "General Ding has been sitting on the frontier for many years, and his power is like thunder, compared to the old man, he is also better than the old man back then, with him leading the troops to the Mangcang Mountains, this battle will be nine out of ten." ”
"Destiny is also sixteen years old this year. Emperor Tianxi looked at the little prince beside him kindly, and said slowly: "Grandpa Tai immediately won the world back then, and the descendants of the Zhao family have never produced a single seed since then, I plan to let the Mandate of Heaven follow General Ding's account and go to the Yue Kingdom to hone and hone, so that the world can see how much ability my little genius of the Great Chu Zhao family has." ”
Speaking of this, His Majesty the Emperor's face couldn't help but show a hint of pride.
General Yu and General Xing were silent, His Majesty is already old, the prince has not been established over the years, and the attribution of the throne has always been a string hanging in the hearts of everyone in the court.
Judging from today's imperial banquet, His Majesty is planning to tie the Great Chu military and the little prince together, and this aid to Yue is better to let the little prince go through the experience, in fact, it is to gild, and on the day of returning to China, I am afraid that it will be the time to canonize the crown prince.
Everyone present, except for Zhao Tianming and Chen Linci, are all shrewd old rivers and lakes, where can they not see this bit of His Majesty's thoughts.
"What's the matter, do the two Qing family have any opinions on my arrangement?" His Majesty the Emperor asked casually when he saw that the two generals were silent.
"Weichen didn't mean anything else, but he was afraid that His Highness would go deep into the border of a foreign country, and if he fell into danger, he would be uneasy in the country. General Xing replied.
The little prince Zhao Tianming smiled slightly, stretched out his arm and clenched his fist, looked at General Xing and said: "Old General Xing can't help but look down on the Mandate of Heaven too much, with my current strength, as long as it is not the group of old guys from the Escape Immortal Palace, no one can hurt me on the battlefield, not to mention that there is also General Ding in charge, even if it is from the Escape Immortal Palace, what danger can I have?"
"Since His Royal Highness has made up his mind, Weichen should obey his orders. General Xing didn't say anything more.
"Since the two generals have no objection, the matter is settled. Seeing that the two generals Yu Xing, who represented the military, nodded, His Majesty the Emperor was relieved, raised the golden bottle on the table and said with a smile: "For the future of the Great Chu State, for the war that is about to be faced, Zhu Qing and I drank this cup." ”
Everyone raised the wine glasses in front of them and drank them all, and Chen Linci also drank the wine in front of them.
It's just that he didn't feel flattered at the moment, from the very beginning he felt that this imperial banquet was not simple, and sure enough, he talked about the war of the Three Kingdoms while eating at the table, and he did not shy away from telling all the plans of the Six Courtyards and even the layout of the march in front of him.
Although Chen Linci entered the palace for the first time, he also knew many things that were better than not knowing good truths, because often people would pay the corresponding price for knowing what they shouldn't know.
After drinking all the wine in the cup, His Majesty the Emperor looked at Chen Linci on the last seat with a smile and said, "Chen Xiaoqing's family, do you know why this martial arts meeting of the two courtyards invited the divine soldiers of General Huwei as a reward?"
Chen Linci said that his heart was not good, and he was really afraid of something, but he could only grit his teeth and reply that the grass people didn't know.
"The Twin Academies Martial Arts Conference has been held for hundreds of years, but there has never been a time when a treasure of this weight like the Skywalker Sword has been offered as a reward. His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "This time I gave you the Tianxing Sword, I hope that you will lead the team and lead the students of the Sixth Academy to Yue Kingdom to participate in the training." ”
"The grass people are weak and lack prestige, so I am afraid it will be difficult to compete. Chen Linci hurriedly excused himself and said: "If it is said that the leader of the team goes to the Yue Kingdom, Shen Haoyuan of Qingxu Academy is more suitable than Caomin, even if Shen Haoyuan is not good, there is still the palace family and the palace family is cold, and there is a thousand-year-old cultivation family Gong family as a background, he must be fine." ”
What are you kidding, Chen Linci was unwilling to set foot on the Qingyun Road as a soldier, and now he wants to take a group of guys of the same age to go deep into the dangerous place? Chen Linci thinks that he is not so conscious.
"Gong Lihan was defeated in the hands of Shen Haoyuan, and Shen Haoyuan was defeated in your hands, and now you say that both of them are more suitable than you, I'm afraid it's not right. His Majesty the Emperor said undoubtedly: "Letting you lead the team to Yue Guo is the result of my decision after consultation with the national teacher, and you only have two choices: receiving the decree and resisting the decree." ”
Chen Lin glanced at Yang Xiudao with resentment, and found that the national teacher was closing his eyes and recuperating, ignoring his meaning at all, and secretly scolding the old bastard in his heart, but he could only respond.
It is true that it is dangerous to lead the order to go to Vietnam, but it is a capital crime to resist the order.
Now he finally understood why the little prince would go to the martyr's hall to wait for him in person, and said so softly Chen Linci I want to be friends with you. is about to face the strong soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty together, and they have to hand over their backs to each other, if they are not friends, which one can rest assured?
But General Yu and General Xing Weiqi immediately looked at Chen Linci's eyes, His Majesty's arrangement for the little prince to join the army this time is to pave the way for the future, so what does it mean to arrange Chen Linci with the National Teacher to lead the children of the Six Courtyards to go to Vietnam?
Could it be the position of the future national teacher......
Thinking of this, General Yu sighed, thinking that he knew why Chen Linci refused to go to Yu's mansion for banquets several times before, the national teacher and the military were confused, it has always been a taboo for kings, this Chen Linci is young, it is not simple!
......
......
Master Yang Xiudao closed his eyes, seemingly unwavering, but in fact, his heart was also mixed.
When I was a teenager, I longed to ride a horse and a sword to walk the rivers and lakes, and I also had a group of people who traveled far away to abandon the mountains, but they suffered disasters, my brothers were killed, and the rest of them died of old age and never interacted with each other again.
I just hope that you will quit and don't follow in the footsteps of the old way......
