Chapter 401: The Court Banquet (Part II)

I don't know when, everyone has already sat down, waved away a group of women dancing in the center of the main hall, Li Longji, who was holding the wine cup, looked at the henchmen and Chang'an magnates in the inner hall with a spring breeze on his face, and said loudly: "In this battle of Songzhou, Mao'er has not asked the court for a single soldier, a stone of grain, and a copper coin, and only with a few thousand soldiers from the south of the sword to repel the 20,000 elite troops of Tubo, greatly increasing the majesty of our royal family.

I have to say that Li Longji is very happy at this moment, looking at the excitement on his face, as if it was not Li Qing but him Li Longji who won the victory in the Battle of Songzhou at this moment.

Facing Li Longji's promotion on the throne, Li Qing naturally didn't dare to show the slightest arrogance, his eyes were slightly condensed, he stood up, and said respectfully: "This great victory in Songzhou is all thanks to the blessing of my father Emperor Tianwei, and the generals of Jiannan fought desperately and bloodily!" "Thousands of clothes are not worn, sycophants are not worn, although Li Longji is proficient in the art of the emperor, but at this moment, because of Li Qing's words, his face is gradually satisfied.

Waving his hand to signal Li Qing to sit down, there is no need to be so restrained. Seeing that there was a well-founded advance and retreat in front of him, and there was no arrogance and arrogance because of his great achievements, Li Longji's satisfaction with Li Qing gradually became stronger.

Seeing that Li Longji, who was on the throne, praised King Shou so much, the faces of the princes sitting next to Li Qing were not very good-looking, and the prince Li Heng, who was sitting in the first place, could still have a kind smile on his face from time to time with his outstanding city government, but compared to the prince's joy and anger, the embarrassed look on the faces of Yongwang Li Lan and Sheng Wang Li Qi, who was sitting next to Li Qing, could not be concealed.

Compared with King Yong's anger, although Li Qi, the younger brother of Li Qing's mother, King Sheng, did not act as unbearable as King Yong, but from his arm that held the wine glass, it was enough to see that King Sheng's mood at this moment was not as light as it appeared on the surface, and the people present were not mortals, so they naturally had a full view of King Sheng's performance at the moment.

Compared with King Yong and King Sheng, King Yan and King Di, who also sit on the seats of the princes, are undoubtedly much lighter, at least as far as the current situation is concerned, Li Qing has no direct conflict of interest with them, and they were originally dissatisfied with King Yong and the prince's party covering the sky with one hand, but now they are naturally very happy to see that King Shou can make the prince's party and King Yong eat one after another.

However, although they were willing, they did not directly show up and make friends with Li Qing, after the early dynasty, everyone knew that the relationship between King Shou and the prince of the dynasty was like fire and water, if he stood beside King Shou at this moment, he was undoubtedly slapping the prince in the face, although after half a year of military experience, this King Shou has grown a lot.

But the two princes of King Yan and King Di still think that with the Shouwang at this time, if they confront the prince's party face to face, they will still be defeated, since a few months ago, somehow there is a lot of power in the court, and King Sheng, who also has the qualifications to compete for the position of the prince, chose to join the prince's party, the two kings and the prince's party are undoubtedly rising, no one dares to try its edge, looking at the current court, I am afraid that except for Li Linfu, the prime minister who has been sitting firmly in the prime minister for more than ten years, can fight head-on, there is no longer any force to resist one or two.

Although the faces of the princes were not good-looking, but seeing the spring breeze on Li Longji's face above the throne, some nimble people in the hall spoke one after another, and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, there is another amazing young commander in my Tang clan!" ”

He also said, "His Royal Highness King Shou is quite capable of military affairs, and with King Shou guarding Jiannan, the southwest border of my Tang Dynasty will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai and protect my century-old foundation of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Such unnutritious words, intermittently, without stopping, at first Li Qing could barely smile at everyone's compliments and nodded in thanks, but later as time passed, Rao Yi Li Qing's character gradually became impatient, and in the face of everyone's compliments, he just nodded and didn't say much.

Just finished dealing with a household waiter, casually picked up the fruit cup on the table and brought it to his mouth, noticed that the beautiful woman next to him was sweating on her forehead, her face was slightly red, she put down the cup in her hand, and asked in a low voice: "Yanyu, but you are not feeling well?" It's better for me to resign from my father and send you home! Saying that, Li Qing was about to stand up.

Even if she was unwell, Wei Yanyu still grabbed Li Qing's sleeve quickly, looked at her husband who was full of worry beside her, and felt a burst of satisfaction in her heart, but she still opened her mouth to persuade her: "Husband, at this moment, my father's holy will is strong, if my husband gets up and suddenly says goodbye at this moment, it will undoubtedly cause my father's dissatisfaction!" Yan Yu is not a big problem, but because it is too noisy here, Yan Yu feels uncomfortable for a while. ”

Hearing the explanation of the beautiful woman next to him, Li Qing naturally knew very well that what the beautiful woman said was also the truth, it was extremely rare to be able to regain the sacred heart at this moment because of his identity, if he missed this opportunity tonight, I am afraid it would be difficult to do it in the future!

Sit down again according to the beauty's request, but Li Qing, who was still not at ease, stretched out his big hand and put it on Wei Yanyu's forehead, and did not feel the burning sensation as imagined, Li Qing put his mind at ease, looking at the beads of sweat on the beauty's forehead at the moment, which has always been caused by the environment in the hall at this moment, and immediately turned to Xuan'er, who was sitting on a relatively small table behind him, and ordered: "Xuan'er, the environment here is hot and dry, you take Yanyu to remove the breath, and this king will go to you later!" ”

Although Li Qing felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart for the compliments and vanity of the ministers, Li Qing understood that although he was disgusted, sometimes he had to suppress the disgust in his heart and do something he didn't want to do.

At this moment, Li Qing is no longer the lonely Li Qing who first arrived in Datang half a year ago, Li Qing at this moment has a wife and children, a group of followers around him, and people he cares about, even if it is not for himself, for the people he cares about, Li Qing will not do things according to his joy and anger.

Hearing Li Qing's order, Xuan'er looked at the delicacies on the table with a reluctant face, and seeing Xuan'er behaving like this, Li Qing smiled lightly, and saw that Xuan'er, who was extremely cute at this moment, said: "Go out with your young lady, and wait until the future, this king will treat you to eat all the food in Chang'an City!" ”

Hearing King Shou's promise, the original reluctance on Xuan'er's petite face was swept away, and a look of successful treachery appeared on her delicate face, and she walked to Li Qing's side, mixed with Wei Yanyu, and walked outside the hall with Qiu's heart.

At the same time, a person came to Li Qing's case, this person was wearing a green shirt, although his appearance was not classy, but the natural sense of perseverance and calmness on his body added a lot to this person, this person was none other than the only son of the Prime Minister's Mansion - Li Xiu.

At this moment, Li Xiu picked up the cup in his hand, looked at Li Qing in front of him and said casually: "I have long admired His Royal Highness's prestige, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary!" It was a very clichΓ© greeting, but looking at the sincerity on Li Xiu's face, Li Qing also stood up, not as casual as dealing with other compliments. (To be continued.) )
