Chapter 9 "Evergreen" soup and
Before dawn, there was already a long queue in front of the Korean government, today is Li Shan's birthday, and the people who came to give gifts were even more crowded, almost blocking the entire street.
Li Jie and his parents came to the front of the mansion in a carriage, and they almost couldn't even get close to the gate, but fortunately, Li Jie's fifth uncle was careful and had already sent someone to wait for them at the corner of the street, and then led Li Jie and their carriage into the mansion through the door next to them, and Li Qi also came to greet them in person.
"Third brother, there are a lot of guests here today, let's go to the main hall to welcome the guests, and the third sister-in-law will go to the inner hall to talk to the princess!" Li Qi saw Li Jie's family of three, and immediately stepped forward with a smile.
There are too many guests here today, and Li Shanchang's children and grandchildren are all distributed in various places in the mansion to receive guests, among which the location of the main hall is the most important, because only important guests are qualified to enter the main hall, so it is personally received by Li Qi, the concubine.
"Okay, husband, you and the fifth brother should go and get busy, I'll go to the inner hall, and I'll celebrate my father's birthday later!" Mrs. Li was a cheerful person, so she turned around and left after agreeing immediately.
"Fifth brother, father he ......" Li Zhu was a little hesitant at this time, because he didn't know Li Shanchang's attitude yet.
"Don't worry, my father's anger has long been gone, and when the guests arrive, our brothers will offer their birthday gifts again, and the family will have a meal with harmony, and the past will be over!" Li Qi persuaded again easily, of course he wouldn't tell Li Zhu that in the past few days, in order to let his father Li Shanchang lose his anger, he has helped Li Zhu's father and son say good things.
"That's good! That's good! Li Zhu was also relieved when he heard this, he had been nervous on the way here, mainly because he was worried that Li Shanchang would be angry when he saw their family, and both sides would not be able to get off the stage at that time.
Li Jie next to him saw Li Zhu's appearance but secretly pouted, it was obviously Li Shanchang's fault, but Li Zhu suffered from gains and losses, and being a son in this era really has no human rights!
"Jie'er, you are also an adult, wait a minute, you will also follow us to welcome guests, don't run around!" Li Qi suddenly said to Li Jie again, last year's incident was because of Li Jie, although Li Jie was not at fault, but he was still worried that Li Jie would cause trouble again, so he simply tied him to his side.
"Yes!" Li Jie can also guess Li Qi's thoughts, but it's not bad to receive guests in the past, Li Shan has a long life, I don't know if Zhu Yuanzhang will come in person, if he can meet this beggar emperor, it's not bad, even if his plan fails in the future, he can know who he died in!
It's still early, although there are already crowds of people in front of the house, but most of the people who come to give gifts at this time are not enough, some people send gifts in at most, but they don't even have the qualifications to enter the door to drink tea, some of them have a higher status, and they can only invite them to sit in the side halls on both sides, as for the main hall, there is no one here.
It wasn't until nearly half of the morning that the guests in the main hall came one after another, Li Zhu and Li Qi brothers personally stepped forward to greet them, Li Jie laughed in the back, and the guests who could come to the main hall to sit down were almost all officials above the fifth grade, and there were also various princes, such as what Ji'an Hou, Yan'an Hou, Pingliang Hou, Nanxiong Hou, etc., just listening to the name thought that this was Huaguo Mountain.
However, compared with the large number of Hou Ye, the number of Guogong is much less, when Zhu Yuanzhang just founded the country, only six Guogong, except for Li Shanchang, the other five are military generals, such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, etc., but unfortunately most of these people died early, and later Zhu Yuanzhang successively sealed some Guogong, but the number is also limited, some are still stationed outside, and there are fewer people who can come.
"The letter has arrived!" With a shout from the deacon, another prince came.
And Li Jie heard the three words Xinguo Gong was also refreshed, Xinguo Gong's name is Tang He, although this person is not as famous as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, but it is also quite awesome, he and Zhu Yuanzhang are brothers who grew up with a bare ass, and later followed Zhu Yuanzhang is also loyal and has made countless contributions.
The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang was very suspicious of the heroes around him in the later period of his reign, Hu Weiyong was killed, Li Shanchang was killed, Lan Yu was killed, and tens of thousands of people were implicated, but no matter how many people Zhu Yuanzhang killed, he never suspected Tang He, who can be called an evergreen tree among the founding heroes, and even after Tang He's death, he was posthumously named the king of Dongou City, this kind of treatment can be compared with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.
Li Jie was also very curious about this Xinguo Gong, and when he looked around, he saw an old man of medium stature and not striking appearance walking forward, his hands were thick and wrinkled, and his dark face had a kind smile.
"Yo~, you're here too!" What Li Jie never expected was that Tang He took the initiative to speak when he saw Li Zhu, and it seemed that he and Li Zhu seemed to be very familiar.
"Meet Uncle Tang!" Li Zhu seemed a little embarrassed when he saw Tang He, but he still stepped forward and saluted.
"You're welcome, you're too old-fashioned, my little seventeen hasn't forgotten you, go to my house more when you have time!" I saw Tang He come over and pat Li Zhu's shoulder and said.
Who is Little Seventeen? Li Jie looked at his father curiously, but found that Li Zhu's face was flushed, and there seemed to be a little shyness in the embarrassment, fortunately, Li Qi stepped forward at this time and said: "Uncle Tang, you are a distinguished guest, my father has been talking about you, please go inside!" ”
Tang He seemed to be able to talk to anyone, and when he saw Li Qi asking about Li Shanchang's physical condition again, he was about to enter the main hall, but he saw Li Jie, which made him pause and said, "You should be the son of the junior family, right?" ”
"Li Jie meets Grandpa Tang!" Li Jie also stepped forward and saluted very knowingly, this Xinguo Gong is a big thick leg, even if he can't hold it now, at least he will be familiar with his face first.
"Yes, yes, the little guy is very energetic, but the amount of gas is a little smaller, remember it in the future, there is no threshold in this world that cannot be passed!" After Tang He finished speaking, he smiled at Li Jie again, and then stepped into the hall.
Li Jie also showed a surprised expression when he heard this, this soup and really not simple, he even knew his family affairs so clearly, no wonder he could have the last laugh among the many founding heroes!
After a while, I suddenly heard the deacon shout again: "Yihuihou has arrived!" ”
Hearing that his uncle was coming, Li Jie immediately followed his father to greet him, and soon saw Liu Ying and Liu Yi, father and son, coming over.
Liu Ying is tall and fat, and his skin is relatively white, although he is in his fifties, he does not even have a wrinkle on his face, and he is also stable when he walks, and he knows at a glance that he is from a rich and noble family.
Li Jie saluted Liu Ying with his father, and Liu Yi in the back winked at him, his face was also a little anxious, as if he wanted to say something, but he looked at Liu Ying in front of him but didn't dare to speak.
I saw that after Liu Ying chatted with Li Zhu for a few words, he cared about Li Jie's body again, he had personally visited Li Jie two days ago, so Li Jie was quite familiar with his uncle.
However, after Liu Ying chatted with Li Zhu, he suddenly pulled Li Jie to the corner, and lowered his voice with a serious expression: "Yi'er has already confessed everything, what are you kid going to do, and you still won't let me interfere?" ”
"Now that my uncle already knows, then I won't hide it from you, under the nest, there are no eggs, I just want to survive in death now!" Li Jie was not surprised when he heard this, with Liu Ying's shrewdness, as long as Liu Yi had a little bit of tone, he would definitely notice that something was wrong, and under repeated questioning, Liu Yi would definitely not be able to keep the secret, and he blinked to himself just now to give him a wake-up call.
"Do you really think that the huge Korean government is in danger of overturning?" Liu Ying asked in disbelief, although he felt that Li Shanchang would be unlucky sooner or later, he never dared to think that Zhu Yuanzhang would really kill Li Shanchang.
Li Jie smiled helplessly at this time, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the guests in the main hall and said in a low voice: "Uncle, look, this full of guests is not the same group of civil officials and officials at the court meeting?" ”
Liu Ying also glanced at the guests in the hall when he heard this, and then he also gasped, although it can't be said that all the civil and military officials at the court meeting came, but at least seven or eight out of ten came, and this is only the main hall, there are more officials in the two side halls on the left and right, it can be said that almost half of the officials in the capital came, if he is Zhu Yuanzhang, I'm afraid ......
Thinking of the above, Liu Ying also suddenly felt a cool air coming out of the cracks in his bones, he is ten years younger than Zhu Yuanzhang, although it can't be said that he is small, but he is also familiar, and later he has been Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guard, it can be said that he knows Zhu Yuanzhang's character better than anyone else, with Li Shanchang's current performance, Zhu Yuanzhang is probably only a matter of time before he moves to kill.
"Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on the flow of water, the only thing I can rely on now is myself, uncle, don't interfere, I have my own plans!" Li Jie also solemnly told him again at this time, Li Shanchang will be unlucky if anyone interferes in this kind of thing.
Liu Ying also showed a tangled look when she heard this, and after a long while, she asked in a low voice again, "How sure are you?" ”
"I don't know!" Li Jie replied with a wry smile, still the same sentence, the initiative in this matter is not in his hands, but in the hands of his grandfather, so he can only act at the opportunity!
