Chapter 51
That night, the square of the Victory Palace was brightly lit, and under the command of Li Shimin, hundreds of civil and military officials sat at the golden silk nanmu dining table with sumptuous wine and food, celebrating the victory together. The interest arose, the laughter and laughter were endless, and the sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp continued.
Although he was new to the palace, he had no political achievements before. But Shan Zhuokun still sat at the same table as an immortal with Yu Chi Gong and others, at this moment, his left hand side was Han King Li Yuanchang, and his right hand was Major General Wei Chi Baolin.
"The reason why I want to gather you here today is because I have three important things to say." After drinking for a while, Li Shimin got up with the wine bowl and said, "First, it is to congratulate the Duke of Hu and the King of Han for leading our army to successfully fight against the Xiongnu and return smoothly. You also know that the north of the desert is a very bitter place where the weather is cold and the earth is frozen, and the Hun soldiers are extremely brave and good at fighting. For this reason, the Duke of Eguo and the King of Han waited there with a large army for more than a year, and experienced many dangers. But no matter what, now the enemy finally knows the power of my Datang, and the prestige is inviolable. ”
With that, he raised his head and drank the wine from the bowl in one gulp.
"Come, let us bless the four seas from now on, congratulate from all directions, and my Tang Guowei will continue to prosper."
When the ministers of civil and military affairs heard this, they all stood up and drank the wine together.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."
Li Shimin smiled and nodded at everyone, "This second thing is that I am happy to receive another good talent." Shangxian ......"
In the crowd, Shan Zhuokun did not get up with others, but sat at the table alone to drink and eat. As a modern person, he originally had a lot of opinions about the red tape of ancient times, but it was the elixir in front of him that attracted him even more.
As a senior foodie, Shan Zhuokun can already judge that even if this dish is put in a thousand years, it is only possible for a senior chef in a five-star hotel to make it.
Therefore, out of greed for wine and food, he had no idea of standing up at all.
Anyway, one day I still have to return to that world that belongs to me, so why bother accommodating others so hard for the sake of face?
"Shangxian, the emperor called you." Wei Chigong saw that Shan Zhuokun was still carefree, and hurriedly urged.
Shan Zhuokun slowly put the chopsticks on the table, and after stretching his waist, he stood up with the wine bowl and said with a smile on his face:
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
"Bold."
Lu Yi, who was following Li Shimin, saw that Shan Zhuokun was so powerless, and immediately stepped forward angrily to punish the other party.
Although Shan Zhuokun didn't know why the other party was angry, when he saw that the people around him were also angry at him, he stuck out his tongue and stopped talking, just staring at Li Shimin with his eyes.
"General Lu, don't be impatient. Shangxian was originally a person outside of Hongchen, and he had just come to the palace, so it was understandable that he didn't understand the rules, so there was no need for this. Li Shimin did not take this matter to heart, but smiled and played a round.
When the civil and military officials saw the emperor say this, their anger instantly subsided, and their faces eased again.
"Shangxian, thank you Emperor yet." Although Wei Chigong is a rough person, he also knows how to observe words and feelings. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly reminded.
Shan Zhuokun glanced at him, followed the appearance of others, leaned over and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you to the emperor." ”
Li Shimin smiled and bowed slightly to him, but he was quite puzzled in his heart. Although the young man in front of him was also an immortal cultivator, his demeanor was completely different from that of the mortal immortal Yuan Tiangang.
If the latter is Qinggao, then the former is reckless, no matter from which point of view, it is like a monkey who does not understand the world.
However, after experiencing the vicissitudes of right and wrong, Li Shimin also became more and more convinced of fate. In his opinion, no matter what the other party's behavior, words and deeds are, as long as it can be helpful to Datang, it is a blessing sent by God.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book."
Not far from where Shan Zhuokun was sitting, a middle-aged man in a cyan robe, with a thin figure and about forty years old, said respectfully.
"Oh? I don't know what Fang Xiang has to say? Li Shimin asked with interest.
...... the room?
Shan Zhuokun secretly exclaimed in his heart, he really couldn't imagine that the thin bamboo pole standing in front of him turned out to be the first phase of Fang Xuanling, which has been praised through the ages, and has been compiled into different versions by later generations.
Sure enough, people cannot be disguised, and the sea water cannot be measured.
"Since Yuan Fanxian went into hiding, the position of the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor has always been vacant. Before, the Duke of E also told his ministers about this immortal. Although this person is still young, his means are extremely good, and the minister wants to recommend him to serve as the Imperial Supervisor, but I don't know if the emperor agrees? Fang Xuanling said earnestly.
He and Wei Chigong have always been good friends, and the other party is a character who can't hide his words. Therefore, on the way here, he had already heard a lot of rumors about this immortal, and felt that he was indeed a talent, so he sponsored him in front of everyone.
"Fang Xiang is right, I think the same way." Li Shimin smiled slightly, "And when we met in the city tower just now, I had already made a promise to the immortals." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling arched his hand, then lowered his head and stopped talking.
This incident was originally very common, but unexpectedly, it was quickly met with different opinions.
"Wait." A medium-sized man in a dark purple robe pushed through the crowd and walked out, "Fang Xiang has always been cautious, how can he rashly recommend it without checking it out this time." ”
When Wei Chigong heard this, he was suddenly ten thousand unhappy in his heart. Although the person who spoke didn't even look at him, it was clear that he was saying it to himself. In that case, then he doesn't have to be too polite.
"Lord Wei, what do you mean by that? What does it mean to make a rash recommendation? Tell you, although my father is a rough person, he is also coarse and fine, especially if he can't fool people. It's you, what's it to sow discord? Wei Chigong stared at the boss and shouted with his neck straight, looking indignant.
Lord Wei......?!
Shan Zhuokun's eyes suddenly lit up, it seemed that this person in a purple robe was the legendary 'scared' Wei Zheng. It is said that he was extremely upright, never beat around the bush when he spoke, and always liked to be straight. It is precisely because of this that he became the counselor of Tang Taizong.
However, it is precisely because of his small steel cannon-like personality that the chance of being beheaded in this life is higher than eating. A cultivated person like Tang Taizong would talk about killing him at every turn.
It seems that from now on, there is really going to be a good show.
When Shan Zhuokun thought of this, he suddenly showed schadenfreude and an expression of waiting to watch the play.
