When Lin Yuan came to Qujiang Garden, there were already many people in the hall, and the sound of silk and bamboo coming from inside was very beautiful. After straightening his clothes, Lin Yuan walked into the hall and saluted the emperor who was sitting on the upper seat, Li Yuan saw that his face was full of joy, and beckoned him to take a seat quickly.

"The Yasukuni Gong who has three arrows is here, hurry up and take a seat."

Everyone in the hall, whether they were sincere or not, praised Lin Yuan a lot, and seeing such a scene, Lin Yuan blushed a little, and hurriedly said, "It's too good." Then he hurried towards the vacant seat. Who knew that he had just walked halfway and was pulled by Yan Guogong Wujie.

"Running around what, that's where you go?" Hearing this, Lin Yuan realized that he had run to the seat of a civil official in a panic. Da Zhou Xungui is not cold to each other with civil officials, and it is enough to give the other party enough to meet and not fight on weekdays. Arching his hand towards Wu Jie, he returned to the place where he was noble, and sat down next to Yang Zhao. There is no way, among the nobles, he is most familiar with Yang Zhao.

took a breath and was about to drink saliva, but when he saw that the case was full of alcohol, he frowned slightly. Seeing this, Yang Zhao summoned the little eunuch standing on the side: "Get some tea for the Duke of Yasuko." ”

Thanking Yang Zhao, Wu Jie said when he saw this: "People in the army are still afraid of drinking? You've been in the North for so many years, don't you drink? ”

This old man is really annoying, what does it matter to you whether I drink or not, I was about to speak, but I heard Yang Zhao beside me scolding: "Yan Guogong, don't be strong, Lin Yuan's injury is just better, and drinking is not good for him." ”

Hearing this, Wu Jie picked up the wine glass and drank it himself, without saying a word. Lin Yuan looked at it at this time, could this be what Xun'er said about Uncle Wu? This beard is indeed quite a lot.

"What are you looking at?" Glaring at Lin Yuan, the other party was not annoyed, Lin Yuan smiled: "I just suddenly remembered that someone praised Yan Guogong's beautiful beard." ”

Proudly brushing his beard, Yan Guogong laughed: "That's it, who can compare the old man's beautiful beard in Da Zhou, I don't know if it's the one who praised it." The corners of Yang Zhao's eyes twitched with the surrounding nobles, this old man was still so shameless.

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Lin Yuan said with a smile. Who knew that Wu Jie's laughter stopped abruptly, but the surrounding nobles snickered. It seemed that sensing the change in the surrounding atmosphere, Lin Yuan was a little strange, did he say something wrong?

"The eldest princess is overrated." Wu Jie turned his head in embarrassment, his beard had been cut off by the eldest princess a lot, and he had palpitations when he thought of that incident.

The second monk was puzzled, and although Lin Yuan had doubts, he still pressed it in his heart. From entering the city to now, I was really hungry, so I concentrated on dealing with the food on the table.

The banquet was mainly composed of singing and dancing, but the military nobles who had a bold personality in the past really couldn't enjoy this set that the literati liked. Therefore, most of the banquet was carried out, and the civil officials were still smiling and smiling, pushing cups and changing lamps, and the environment was very elegant. On the other hand, on the side of the generals, it was already in a mess, all kinds of wine cups were flying all over the sky, and Lin Yuan even saw a few people gambling with their fists. It's really drunk high.

Removing the wine glass that had fallen into the plate, Lin Yuan sighed helplessly. Looking at the emperor who was still smiling, Lin Yuan complained: "I don't know how to take care of it, it's your face that you lose." ”

The back of his neck tightened, Lin Yuan was lifted up all of a sudden, and he was furious at the moment, who is so bold, did the Duke of China let you mention it? glared at the rear, but saw Wu Jie's 'hiccup' make a wine burp, and the smoked forest source was dizzy. Lin Yuan lowered his head weakly and sighed: "Uncle Wu, let me down, so many people are watching." ”

"Yan Guogong can't mess around, Yasukuni's injury is not healed yet." Yang Zhao said urgently. He knows Wu Jie too well, every time he drinks too much, he doesn't take it seriously.

"Boring." Put Lin Yuan down, burping and looking for a new target. Lin Yuan reluctantly straightened his clothes, these nobles were too dangerous.

"What kind of song and dance to watch, I will win a big victory, and it's good to watch the old man dance the sword!" It seems that he can't find a target to start, and Wu Jie is really irritable with the civil official, so he simply jumped out by himself. When everyone heard this, the honorable side immediately applauded, and on the other hand, the civil officials all glared angrily.

"On top of the imperial banquet, Yan Guogong should not mess around." Xia Lindao frowned and looked at Wu Jie.

"How can the sound of the beautiful voice be worthy of my Great Zhou Junwei, if you don't listen, bring a sword!" This is a group ridicule, Lin Yuan looked at Yan Guogong in the field, only to see that he ridiculed the civil official in just a few words, and from time to time there were several angry scoldings, but Wu Jie was still not afraid of danger, looking at everyone calmly, and looking at the civil official with contempt in his eyes.

"This old man's face, I can't reach it."

"What? Want to give it a try? Yang Zhao said with a smile.

"How's that going?" Seeing that the audience was scolding angrily, but Li Yuan, who was sitting on the top seat, did not start to speak out to stop him, and only then did he slowly speak: "Since Yan Guogong is interested, I am approved." ”

The hall was instantly quiet, and Wu Jie smiled: "Bring the sword!" ”

"I'll be with you." Liu Kun, the British duke, stepped forward and threw the sword to Wu Jie, and the two first looked at each other and saluted, and then stepped forward with their swords. Lin Yuan watched with interest as the two of them staggered in the sword light, and the unique sound of gold and stone staggering when the sword bodies collided was very good.

Xungui came from time to time with a burst of applause, but the civil management had a cold face, Xia Lindao sighed helplessly when he saw this, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and this year's war has completely put the civil and military sides on the opposite side. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of time to come.

Putting away his sword and turning around, Wu Jie took a few breaths, and so did Liu Kun. The two of them are older, and they are not as strong as they were when they were younger. "Be happy, and you will definitely be divided in the future."

"I'm afraid you won't make it." The British public was dismissive.

Then the two thanked the emperor, and Li Yuan laughed: "Aiqing should be old and strong, but you still have to pay attention to your body." Come on, reward! ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Wu Jie and Liu Kun slowly retreated.

At this point, the banquet has come to an end. Li Yuan nodded at Wang Wei, who was standing on the side, and Wang Wei took the holy decree from the little eunuch behind him, walked to the front of the stage, and said in a loud voice: "Yang Zhao, the prince of Huaiyang County, receives the decree." ”

"The minister is here." Yang Zhao came out of the column and fell to the ground.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Yang Zhao, the prince of Huaiyang County, attacked the Golden Horde in the north and drove the enemy for thousands of miles. The restoration of the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou is in the contemporary era and blesses all the people in the north. Deeply satisfied, he was crowned the Duke of Jin, and he was hereditary. Don't forget your grace and encourage you. ”

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen." Yang Zhao received the holy decree in his hand, and everyone was full of envy. The Great Zhou Dynasty has not rewarded the Duke of the Kingdom for decades, but the war in the north is indeed a thousand years old, and Yang Zhao has no objection to this reward, and everyone has no words after seeing the prince read the holy decree. I can't help but be a little strange, why didn't Yasukuni Gong have a reward?

Lin Yuan didn't care, he was already among the founding princes, what would he be rewarded? Is it a king with a different surname? His own merits are not enough to receive such a reward. At the moment, he is not rewarding, but he trusts and protects himself, and he still knows the truth of Mu Xiu Yulin.

He is too young, he is in charge of the entire Great Zhou, not to mention the rank of the national duke, which is the lowest title, who is inherited at his age. In the future, there will be time to reward it, and it is not always good to stand on the top of the mountain too young.

"Congratulations to General Yang." Lin Yuan saluted Yang Zhao, and Yang Zhao nodded with a smile. Although he is the founding prince of the country, he is not as good as the current title. In addition to the excitement, the people who came to congratulate and toast did not refuse. After a while, a jar of wine was poured into it. The whole person was dizzy.

Lin Yuan, who was not good at drinking, still did not escape the fate of being drunk, and after Yang Zhao was rewarded, everyone toasted. It's okay when he's sober, and he can help Lin Yuan become one or two, but when everyone is drunk, it's hard to say that he is the only one who is sober. In the end, the drunken Yang Zhao joined in.

After drinking a lot of wine in a row, Lin Yuan only felt that he had drunk the wine of his two lifetimes. His head was dizzy, he really couldn't bear it, and he took advantage of the gap to get out of the hall, and the breeze blew across the water, so Lin Yuan felt better.

"Who would have thought that the fierce general Yasukuni Gong in the dignified army would be invincible." The voice from behind him made Lin Yuan frown slightly.

"Who?" Lin Yuan turned around, but saw a young man standing not far away. I haven't seen it before, so I think it's from the civilian side.

"In the Lower Hanlin Academy, Cui Ming, my father is Cui Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. It's bothering the national government. Cui Ming said with a smile.

"Cui Yan?" I have heard this name in Jinju, he is the head of the Cui family, the contemporary Wenzong, but he has never dealt with them, what is the purpose of Cui Ming coming here.

"I don't know what's going on here?" Lin Yuan asked.

"I yearn for it, it's not a big deal, I just want to see what a heroic appearance the Yasukuni Gong is." Cui Ming smiled faintly.

Lin Yuan always felt that the person in front of him was speaking in a weird way, and said lightly: "Since I've seen it, then I'll leave." Arching his hand towards Cui Ming, Lin Yuan turned to leave, he didn't know if he was a little sensitive, but he always felt that this person was a little dangerous.

Looking at the background of Lin Yuan's departure, Cui Ming whispered with interest: "It's vigilant, but there is really no malice today." With a chuckle, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction, today's banquet was really boring and tight.
