Chapter 21: The Banquet

However, knowing Su Yuexin's intentions, his heart was like eating honey again.

Looking at Xia Yu's funny expression, Su Yue's heart let go of Xia Yu, and a trace of the tenderness of a little daughter appeared on her angry face: "Forget it, spare you this time." If there's a next time, then don't blame me for cuckolding you. ”

"You dare!" Xia Yu rolled up his sleeves, with the intention of reviving his husband.

As a result, Su Yuexin grabbed his ears again, gritted her silver teeth and said, "Xia Yu, let me tell you, I have asked Xiaoyu to prepare a few washboards made of cypress, go home and wait to be dealt with by the family law!" ”

Xia Yu's mouth was bitter, I went, it turned out that the tradition of kneeling on the washboard had existed at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

"I'll ask you, to kneel or not to kneel?"

Xia Yu begged for mercy: "Kneel, can't I kneel?" ”

Finally, the iceberg melted, the flowers bloomed, and Su Yuexin's laughter, even if the most beautiful words were superimposed together, it couldn't be described as just in case.

"You want to kneel yourself, I didn't force you."

Xia Yu, who reacted, suddenly felt that he had been deceived, obviously it was Su Yuexin who made him kneel, how could it be turned into himself kneeling.

However, the first time she saw Su Yuexin's really happy smile, Xia Yu was also very happy.

"Ahem......" Li Shimin appeared at the door of the room at some point.

Su Yuexin blushed and let go of Xia Yu's ears.

Xia Yu retorted: "Brother Shimin, if you don't cough, no one will treat you as a dumb person, what's the matter?" ”

Li Shimin had a look that all men understand: "Brother Xia, it's like this, my father invited you to go to the front hall to talk." ”

In fact, he originally came here because he heard that the eldest brother Li Yuanba went to Xiuning's sister's courtyard, for fear that he would have an unpleasant quarrel with Su Yuexin.

As of now, I have seen Xia Yu here, and Li Yuanba has already walked away.

The banquet of the Li family this time was all the big and small officials in Jinyang City, and after the destruction of Gao Junya, it was the united front of the time to rise up.

When Su Lang entered the front hall, Li Shimin found that Xia Yu did not come, he was deeply regretful, he did not expect to meet Xia Yu here, he was very happy, and immediately pulled Xia Yu to the front hall.

Behind a rockery in Li Xiu's courtyard, Li Yuanba's bones turned white, and he cut off a stone and crushed it.

When he was with Su Yuexin, he had never seen Su Yuexin smile so happily, how much he loved Su Yuexin, and then how much he hated her.

"Slut!" He cursed hatefully, and then turned to leave.

Turning the screen set up in the front hall, Li Shimin pulled Xia Yu into the hall.

The hall was already set up in front of two rows of desk chairs, and in the open space there were several singers singing and dancing.

There were two empty seats next to Li Yuan, and one Li Jiancheng was sitting next to him.

Su Lang beckoned to Xia Yu, motioned for him to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "I was going to ask you to come with me, but I didn't find you. ”

After Li Shimin sat down, Li Yuanba sat down, and the people who should arrive at the banquet were already in place.

Li Yuan clapped his hands, and the singers retreated, and then the doors and windows were blocked by thick black velvet, and the candles lit one after another.

The official, who might not have informed the purpose in advance, panicked: "The palace supervisor doesn't know what this move is?" ”

There are even more cowards who are so frightened that they pee their pants and tremble.

"After three rounds of dishes, the wine enters the five flavors. Li Yuan invited you to the banquet today to talk about the government. Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current emperor of the Sui Dynasty is my cousin, and we are close relatives. However, there are traitors and villains Wei Yunqi and others who advocate that the person who represents Sui is the Li family, so that my cousin is quite suspicious of me. Li Yuan's heart can show the sun and the moon! ”

Li Yuan's voice became intense: "Yu Shinan, Zheng Shan and many other adults in the court gave bitter advice to the emperor, but they were impeached. Li Yuan wanted to kill himself to show his innocence, but he was afraid that he would have no face under the Yellow Spring to see his aunt who doted on me like a parent. ”

"In order to show my loyalty, and at the same time get rid of the demonic atmosphere above the court, Li Yuan decided to follow the example of the Han Dynasty to kill Chao Cuo's righteous deeds and eliminate the courtiers around the current emperor. After the matter was completed, Li Yuan should kill himself in front of the Hanyuan Palace. ”

Generous and fierce, he drew his sword from his waist and cut off a corner of the table.

"We are willing to follow Li Gong!"

Everything was as pre-arranged.

The samurai Xun fiercely said: "Ming justice should be like this, we look forward to this day like we hope for Ganlin." ”

The people below chimed in.

Xia Yu looked at their faces and felt a sincere disgust in his heart, but he also understood that this was one thing that Yue Yi had to do, and that was to justify it.

I believe that those officials below also understand that it is actually Li Yuan who wants to replace Sui.

Except for Li Yuan's creation of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that no one can end the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which is the general trend of history.

"Please be seated, everyone!" Li Yuan pressed down with both hands, and the officials returned to their positions.

"Zhang Pan!"

The officials whose names were called were stunned.

Li Yuan said sharply: "You colluded with traitors in the court and passed on the situation of Jinyang City to them, are you guilty?" ”

"I didn't!" Zhang Pan tried to deny it.

Li Yuan threw a letter on the desk and said coldly: "The secret envoy you sent out has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, do you still want to deny it?" ”

Two generals had already escorted Zhang Pan to the middle of the field, and the sword slashed, and Zhang Pan's head fell to the ground.

Li Yuan said sharply: "Kill Zhang Pan, the traitor, today to sacrifice the flag, on the third day of the lunar month, we will participate in the righteous act!" ”

The military attache closest to Li Yuan suddenly drew his long sword and stabbed at Li Yuan. He is Zhang Pan's fellow party member, named Song Yilong.

He also had a part in delivering the news to the DPRK, but Li Yuan didn't know it.

Seeing that the flying sword that turned into a long rainbow crossed the desk and was about to stab at Li Yuan.

Li Shimin drew his sword and was a step slower.

Li Yuanba, who has the best skills, was thinking about something else, and when he reacted, he was a bad move after all.

Li Yuan exclaimed: "Ahhh ”

Like a butterfly with wet wings, Song Yilong fell to the ground with a long sword stuck in his back.

Behind him, stood Xia Yu.

Li Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was glad that he turned back and forth from the ghost gate: "If it weren't for you, I would have almost died in the hands of this dog thief today." ”

Xia Yu arched his hand and returned to his seat.

From the beginning of Liu Wuzhou's attack on Jinyang, Li Yuan regarded Xia Yu as a rare talent.

And they gathered together to discuss all the things that had happened.

Li Yuan appointed each of his three sons as generals, and some of the officials below were each led by his three sons, and when it was Xia Yu's turn, he specially asked Xia Yu's opinion.

Various officials had a new estimate of this little-known young man in their minds.

After the negotiation, Li Yuan asked the officials to record their names one by one, the meaning is obvious, in the future, everyone will be grasshoppers on a rope, and no one will be able to escape, so don't have a heart!
