Chapter 145: Palace Banquet
Hearing Wang Wan say this, Tian Wei thought about it carefully, it was the same, that Li Ji was extremely ignorant, and Li Ji at this time had already broken with Liu Rong.
"Brother, we have to plan carefully these days, and we must not let that Liu Rong get the position of the crown prince!"
"What my sister said is very true."
However, after Li Ji knew about this at this time, her mood was a little complicated, no matter what Liu Rong said, he was his son, but he was also doing his best for him at the beginning.
But he actually went to save Queen Bo in public, and had intimate relations with Liu Ji, so this thorn was inserted in Li Ji's heart for a long time, but he couldn't pull it out for a long time, so Li Ji was so tired of Liu Rong and didn't want to see him.
But at this time, Li Ji Li Ji had a little idea of wanting to forgive Liu Rong, sat alone in the dormitory, and said to herself: "If you come to invite me, I will forgive you!" ”。
But Li Ji waited left and right, and waited for most of the day, but did not wait for Liu Rong to arrive.
The angry Li Ji was furious, and scolded and said: "Shaft, I will make you regret today."
Liu Rong was also thinking about whether to see Li Ji in the end, but if he begged her at this time, he couldn't say what she would do with her temperament, so he also put this idea behind.
Liu Rong has never hosted a dinner party, so he can't help but be a little nervous, but he doesn't dare to ask his father, if he leaves a timid impression on his father, it will not be good.
After thinking about it, Liu Rong finally came up with someone who could help him and make this dinner a good one.
"Wang Sheng, go and prepare the car immediately."
Seeing that His Highness was so resolute, Wang Sheng asked, "I wonder where Your Highness's car is going?" ”。
"Go to the Tangyi Waiting House!".
"No!" After speaking, Wang Sheng turned and left.
When she went to Liu Rong's house, she naturally had to order someone to go to Tongyu first, knowing that Liu Rong was coming, Chen Ajiao was of course smiling, and before the person who reported the news finished speaking, she had to run out of the house to meet Liu Rong.
Seeing Gillian so flustered, Concubine Liu hurriedly shouted: "Gillian don't be in a hurry, run slowly, your cousin will take some time to get here."
However, before she finished speaking, Chen Ajiao had already run away.
Liu Concubine had to sigh at this time: "If I knew this, I wouldn't let Gillian go to Hedong with Liu Rong............."
And when Liu Rong's car drove to the front of Tangyi Houfu, Liu Rong from a distance saw that a small head was looking at himself with a probe.
Liu Rong smiled, got out of the car, and said, "Cousin Gillian is waiting for her cousin?" ”。
"When I went back to Chang'an for a few days, why didn't my cousin come to see me", Gillian said a little arrogantly.
"However, my cousin is busy dealing with things all day, where is there any time to come to see Gillian, today is finally free, so naturally I will come here."
Hearing this, Gillian nodded with some satisfaction.
Before seeing Liu prostitution, Liu Rong was naturally a little puzzled, so he asked, "Gillian, is my aunt at home?" ”。
"Mother is naturally at home, and Mother is still listening to the slave and maid with me, saying that my cousin is coming here."
Hearing this, Liu Rong was relieved, but he was afraid that he would come to find Liu Rong and finally pounce.
Then Liu Rong pulled up Gillian and said, "Gillian, go with my cousin to see my aunt."
As soon as I entered the inner hall of this hall, sure enough, I saw Li Liu Concubine sitting in this inner hall.
"Nephew Liu Rong visits his aunt", saluted Liu Rong, Liu Rong said.
And Liu Concubine was straight to the point: "But what did you say, what did you say about looking for me today?" ”。
"The father ordered the nephew to preside over the palace dinner tonight, and the nephew naturally wanted to come here to invite his aunt and cousin to go with him."
glanced at the respectful Liu Rong, Liu Rong didn't believe it, just for this reason, Liu Rong would come here in person.
However, as Liu Concubine expected, Liu Rong said again: "It is the first time for my nephew to preside over the palace banquet, and I hope my aunt can help him."
Seeing that she finally told the truth, Liu Yan smiled and said: "How can you need my help for such a trivial matter as presiding over the palace banquet."
Seeing Liu Rong's playful face, Liu Rong is also worthy of secretly lamenting that he is unlucky, and he often has to be teased by this aunt.
"I hope my aunt will help me!".
"Since Rong'er said so, I will go to the palace."
Hearing this, Liu Rong finally put it down, "Aunt Xie."
In this way, after a long time, Liu Concubine and Chen Ajiao both followed Liu Rong to the palace.
As soon as she arrived in the Xuan room, Liu Concubine first summoned Shangshi to the palace and asked her to properly arrange today's meal.
After that, it was the turn of the musician, the singer and others, and seeing that Liu Rong was so familiar with the road, Liu Rong naturally put his mind at ease.
……………………………………………………………………
In this way, it didn't take long for it to reach dusk, but at this moment, Chang'an City was not calm because of the darkness at dusk.
But it became even noisier than usual.
From the westward setting of the sun, there is an endless stream of cars coming and going to the palace.
And it was not until this time that Liu Rong ordered Wang Sheng to go to Li Ji's palace and invite Li Ji to come here.
And Li Ji had already been stunned by Liu Rongqi, and when she saw Wang Sheng, she didn't wait for him to speak, and she was reprimanded.
The scolded Wang Sheng even knelt on the ground, and when he heard that Liu Rong had just sent Wang Sheng here to invite him to the Xuan Room, the angry Li Ji scolded his rebel son!!
"Get out! Get out of here! Go back and tell Liu Rong that I won't be here! ”。
After Wang Sheng came back to report, Liu Rong was not surprised, Liu Rong had already guessed such a result.
That night, in the Xuanshu Palace, the courtiers walked into the hall one after another, and when they entered the palace, after seeing Liu Rong, they were all extremely attentive..................
When the dinner began, Liu Rong got up in the front row and said: "Your Majesty is not in good health today, so I will entertain your family on behalf of Your Majesty, and I will drink this wine first to show my respect for your Lords."
After finishing speaking, he drank Liu Rong in the cup.
"Your Royal Highness", the courtiers present, all saluted.
Then Liu Rong said: "Emperor Gao entrusted his dream to me, and he got Zhou Ding in Fenyin, all of which were known for the Son of Heaven Shengming."
At this time, it's just that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, is not here, Liu Rong is holding stinky feet like this, if he is here, he doesn't know how to tout.
Subsequently, the dinner party finally kicked off, and Liu Rong ordered someone to inform Liu De to come here before the dinner began.
However, Liu De is very different from Liu Yan, in Liu De's eyes, the book of sages is far more important than the title of emperor.
But Liu Yan is not like this, when he learned that his father ordered Liu Rong to preside over the dinner on his behalf, Liu Yan was so angry that he was about to lose his words.
This dinner, he originally wanted to ignore it like the old lady Kurihime, and didn't come.
But after all, he still didn't have the courage not to come, but now that he saw the complacent Liu Rong in the palace, Liu Yan's heart could be imagined to be naturally jealous, just thinking that the person standing in front of the father and emperor was not himself!
When Liu Rong ordered people to arrange seats, he ordered people to arrange Liu De and Liu Yanzhi's seats beside him.
"Second brother, third brother, come and drink this wine with your brother."
When Liu De heard this, he naturally smiled with a wine glass: "Brother Xie!" ”。
And Liu Yan squeezed out a smile and said, "Brother Xie."
In this way, the dinner lasted for more than an hour before it ended.

However, after this dinner, the next day was the great court, and as soon as Liu Qi, the son of heaven, arrived in the Xuan room, he asked the ministers: "Yesterday's palace banquet, can you enjoy it?" ”。
What else can the courtiers say, of course, is to immediately salute and say: "Wait for Your Majesty to thank you for the banquet."
Then Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said several things in a row, but the courtiers were a little shocked.
Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said: "I have won the Ding of King Wen, and I should worship it, but at this time it is the end of the year, and it is about to be sacrificed at the end of the year. ”。
It is naturally understandable to use this Wenwang Baoding to worship Emperor Gao's spirit in the sky, so how can the courtiers have any other objections.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" , Chao Wrong Prophet.
The rest of the ministers naturally echoed the voice, "Your Majesty is Shengming, the Son of Heaven is Shengming."
"Where is the servant?".
"Minister, the servant Dou Ying is here!".
"After the court discussion, the servant should immediately order someone to take advantage of the appropriate day,"
Then Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, coughed twice, but said: "I am determined to summon the princes and kings from all over the world to Chang'an this year."
However, since Emperor Gao Liu Bang, the princes of the Han family went to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven once in three years.
These princes and kings only came to Chang'an last year, and if they go again this year, whoever wants to do it or not.
"Your Majesty, my Han law has been determined, the princes and kings should go to Chang'an once every three years, but at this time, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to let them come," said the Taifu doctor without doubt.
"What I said, when did I take it back, this time I ordered them all to enter Chang'an, which is to ask the princes and kings to sacrifice King Wen Baoding with me."
Seeing this, there is nothing to say without doubt.
It seems that it is a little inappropriate for Dad to summon all the princes and kings of the entire Han family to Chang'an just to sacrifice together.
But after Liu Rong thought about it, he thought, Dad did this time, there must be a deep meaning in it.
Since the rebellion of the Five Kingdoms of Wu and Chu was quelled, the pattern of equal strength between the imperial court and the local princes and kings has been shattered.
"It seems that Dad has already thought clearly, whether the Five Kingdoms of Wu and Chu will be established again."
Thinking of this, Liu Rong smiled, this time the princes and kings came to Chang'an to see a good show.
However, after a long time, the edict of the princes and kings was sent by a number of confessors to the princes and kings.
And when most of these princes and kings received the edict of the Son of Heaven, they were also a little helpless, how could His Majesty dare not go after the order.
However, some people are worried, but some people are happy, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was very happy after learning the news that the Son of Heaven had entered the palace at the end of the year, as if he saw the emperor's younger brother beckoning to him.
In the end, whether they wanted to or not, these princes and kings had no choice but to pack their bags and set off for Chang'an............
