CHAPTER XLV

"I see. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" also yawned after eating, and glanced lazily at the little guy.

'Gah? The little guy looked dazed.

What will he know before he speaks?

"Reply to the general, and I will also return to attend the palace banquet on time." Yijiang looked at the little guy's stunned expression, the corners of his mouth twitched, and waved him back.

Until the little guy covered the door with a confused face, he didn't react to how he knew Lin Yao's words.

He shook his head amusedly.

As a meritorious hero, although the general did not want him to appear in the court, this did not mean that he did not want to appear in the palace banquet to celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne. The former affects the division of the current situation; And the latter, that is slapping him in the face, showing that he is jealous of Xian.

Under Tai Changqing's intensive arrangement, the enthronement ceremony, which was supposed to take at least a month later, was completed in ten days along with the enthronement ceremony.

When Xiang Chang walked down the altar in a dark dragon robe, he looked around with a little uneasiness.

However, the whole process of the ceremony was unexpectedly calm. There was neither the chaotic people who suddenly popped out and claimed to overthrow the Chu State, nor did Xiang Ning come out with a kick and make a passionate statement, let alone Yang Jing, who had long disappeared, and the remnants of the Yang family deployed a siege. This process was so smooth that Lin Yao and Chen Ping both went to Yijiang to discuss it again and again, just to analyze what Yang Jing was secretly planning.

What exactly is Yang Jing planning, even if there will be no way to get news of him, but there is some speculation. However, with Yang Jing's current ability, if he wanted to stir up a splash in this surrounded Luoyang, it would only expose his useless work, and he should not be afraid.

In contrast, what made General Rang Yi more concerned was who he was about to 'invite' Ming Xiang at the last moment when he was about to bring General Yang Jing, and left Yang Jing and Xiang Ning in front of his eyes.

This black hand behind the scenes faintly makes it difficult for Yijiang to have a sense of grasping, even if he has been behind closed doors countless times during this time, there is no way to find the clues of the other party.

The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, and it is not appropriate to move first.

*

Unlike the ups and downs of the court, no matter what happened to those in power, for the people of Luoyang, life was still the same.

The princess of the Western Regions arrived in Luoyang not long ago, and moved into the White Tiger Hall due to the fire in the pavilion, and the originally tentative reception banquet was also postponed. Under the discussion of Da Honglu and Tai Changqing, because considering that the princess of the Western Regions could not be put aside for a long time, he simply merged the palace banquet together, and then planned to talk to the private banquet of the envoys alone.

The palace banquet was arranged on the third day after the enthronement ceremony of Xiang Chang.

Originally, the specifications of the palace banquet were always very high, and only officials above the third rank were eligible to participate. But this time, Lin Yao waved his hand, and outside the main hall of the White Tiger Palace, a partial banquet was placed in the garden, and the officials of the five grades were ordered to bring their families to stay.

As a result, the number of people participating in the banquet directly tripled, making Shaofu and Taichang toss, and almost didn't turn Luoyang over, so that they could prepare everything in a few days. However, these things have nothing to do with Yijiang, he only needs to be responsible for attending.

The White Tiger Hall in the inner palace looks exquisite and unusually on the outside, but the details are full of atmosphere. The vermilion walls are covered with emerald and gold tiles, which shine brightly. However, unlike its appearance, the interior space of the White Tiger Hall is actually not small, and it is still slightly empty after accommodating a few hundred people.

He also rode on a tall horse and walked leisurely into the gate of the inner palace, and along the way, the officials of the lower grades took the initiative to make way for him.

The general did not shirk, nodded and rode into the palace, then dismounted and threw the reins to the guards at the gate of the inner palace. He didn't even look at the steps prepared by the palace people, and walked along the road.

By the time he slowly arrived in the White Tiger Palace, basically except for Lin Yao, Princess Xia Qi, Xiang Chang and the two queen mothers, the five leading officials of the court and the central government had already taken their seats, and everyone was talking happily.

Yijiang walked in from the door of the main hall, and after a slight glance, he knew that the vacant seat on the side seat next to Li Cheng was reserved for himself.

Tut...... was actually by Li Cheng's side. He walked straight over.

"Long time no see." When Li Cheng saw him, he got up and bowed his hand to him.

"The eldest prince is as heroic as when he first saw him, and the name of a hero can make people ten years younger." He also raised his hands and bowed back.

"Speaking of young heroes, where can anyone compare to you." Li Cheng laughed, patted Yijiang's back, and pulled him into the seat. "Xiang Lu can be a Confucius teacher when he is seven years old, and Gan Luo is twelve years old to worship the prime minister. Come, I'll toast you three times first! ”

He simply picked up his glass and drank it cleanly as soon as he tilted his head.

"Why is the eldest prince so overrated, isn't it like killing." With an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, he also poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all.

"Those who can't afford this praise are called killing." Li Cheng replied with a smile.

He also poured two more glasses of water and wine, and drank them all, making three glasses with Li Cheng. He raised an eyebrow, and there was no modesty. "It makes sense."

Li Cheng choked for a moment, then burst out laughing. He clapped his hands, drawing the attention of those around him, and said loudly.

"Didn't you all say in the past that you admired General Yi, the first genius in Luoyang in Zhaoshui Tower, for a long time? Why is it that when you see the general himself, he still sits still and doesn't come to toast? ”

As soon as Li Cheng spoke, a group of courtiers around him who were eager to try but did not approach after seeing that he was about to enter the table hurriedly walked over with wine glasses and introduced themselves one after another.

"The general is really talented, and his demeanor is extraordinary!"

"It's over." He also glanced at Li Cheng with a smile, turned his hand leisurely, poured the glass full of wine, and then put it on the table like that.

He nodded slightly, signaling that he had heard the greetings of the people around him, but he didn't mean to pick up the glass.

"What do you mean, General?" This move naturally caused dissatisfaction among the people around him. "Do you think that we are not worthy of giving the general a drink?"

Li Cheng lightly made a color, and there was someone behind him who smiled and 'cleared the siege'. "You guys, don't look at General Yi's age, where can you drink more."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces were clear, and they laughed.

Isn't this ironic and yellow-haired child, who can't even drink.

A bunch of idiots.

The corners of Yijiang's mouth were slightly hooked, "The kid once swore to heaven that there are only three types of people in this world who can make me hold a wine glass, and you just don't happen to be among these three types of people. ”

"Oh, what are the three categories?" Li Cheng asked curiously.

also glanced at him with a smile, flicked his sleeves and replaced them with sitting cross-legged, and the people around him couldn't help frowning.

"One, the one who is loyal and righteous, is the Lord, the brother, and the father. The two are brave to win the boys, such as the general, General Li and others. What about the three......"

Yijiang's face almost had the word 'mockery' written on it. "Of course, it's the one who outwits the kids."

As soon as Yijiang's words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent.

At this time, you can probably hear a needle falling on a thick carpet.

The faces of the officials around him became more and more ugly, and they stood there gritting their teeth and not knowing how to react. Is this kid saying that they are wine bags and rice bags, and they can't even compare to a yellow-haired child......

will also sneer, the truth of feng shui turns, don't these courtiers who say to themselves 'old scheming' not know?

"Call you a general, don't be too arrogant......" said the voice just from the table.

Yijiang's eye knife flew over, and the man who spoke suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by some fierce beast, and a terrifying pressure enveloped him.

But before the man could finish speaking, a warm and calm male voice took over his words, breaking the silence in the hall. "I wonder if I'm also lucky enough to get a glass of wine from the general?"
