Feng Deyi picked up his glass and said to everyone: "Thank you, thank you for coming to participate in the old man's 70th birthday. The old man has reached the age of antiquity this year, he is seventy years old, and he is old and useless. It's rare for people to come to seventy years, and it's rare for everyone to come to praise me, a bad old man. A few days ago, I had already handed over to His Majesty the excerpt of the Zhishi, and I will soon retire and retire for the rest of my life. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, one wave is stronger than the other, and this Datang will be yours in the future, of course, it will be their young people. ”

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Cen Wenwen.

Everyone immediately understood that Cen Wenwen was indeed the next head of the Southern Clan, and in the future, it was this young man who had the final say in the Southern Clan. This is Feng Deyi's statement in front of everyone, he is old and is about to retire, and he is replaced by Cen Wenwen, a young man.

Feng Deyi's speech ended, and soon after, the drums sounded in unison, the gong was staggered, the aroma of wine was overflowing, and the birthday banquet officially began.

Feng Deyi smiled and toasted from table to table, followed by Cen Wenwen, holding the wine cup. Every table, every big man, Feng Deyi introduced and recommended Cen Wen to them, and the big people also said that they would try their best to do it. From noon to Shenshi, two hours passed, and the guests were already a little drunk, without the previous constraints. Those who guess the boxing order, choke five and drink six, pinch their ears and drink alcohol, and those who don't eat, all kinds of things, it's just a ruckus.

Different from the bustle of Feng Deyi's mansion, the gate of Taiji Palace is unusually deserted. Because it was late autumn, the fallen leaves on the trees fell from time to time, which was even more desolate, and the eunuchs of the palace people who were in charge of cleaning outside the Taiji Palace all lowered their heads and cleaned the fallen leaves, not daring to make a trace of other sounds.

Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji have been kneeling quietly outside the Taiji Palace for a day and a night, looking tired and tired, but they are still stubborn and straight, and they dare not slack off.

In the Taiji Palace, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin asked his personal eunuch Wang Fugui: "Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji are still kneeling outside the palace gate?" ”

Wang Fugui hurriedly replied: "Kneel straight." Your Majesty, I think that Lord Gao and Lord Eldest Sun sincerely admit their mistakes to Your Majesty. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin said: "Well, I also know that Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji are also unintentional mistakes, but since I won the victory of the Xuanwumen Change, these courtiers who followed me first have been too arrogant, and they have their own merits, so they do nonsense. I know everything, but I've always connived at them. Especially the eldest grandson Wuji, who unscrupulously borrowed Zhang Liang's hand before to destroy the left servant who shot Pei Lian's full door, and now he has made Feng Deyi, the head of the Shizhong and Southern Clans, so angry that he vomited blood and fell ill, which was inevitably too arrogant. This time they knelt for a day and a night, just to teach them a lesson, don't be too arrogant. But after all, they are my old subordinates, and they assisted me in ascending to the throne. Go tell them, let them go back, I don't blame them. Tell Gao Shilian that there is no hope for him to be a scholar, and he will continue to be his secretary. ”

Wang Fugui bowed down and got up to leave. As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly turned his head and said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, today is the seventieth birthday of Lord Feng De Yi Feng in the service, Your Majesty, look, do you want to congratulate me." ”

Li Shimin was surprised: "Feng Deyi's seventieth birthday? In today's day? Feng Deyi has always supported me, but now he is angry with his eldest grandson, and I can't help but express and comfort me. ”

As he spoke, Li Shimin laid out a piece of paper, took out his pen and ink, and wrote down the four big characters of "Liangfu Liangbi" with a pen. Liang Fu Liangbi, Liang refers to the generation of Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming, who assisted Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty; Liang refers to Zhang Liang, Zhang Zifang, a famous adviser who assisted Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Liang Fu Liangbi refers to Feng Deyi, like Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang, who is both talented and loyal, helping himself, and being his good helper and courtier.

After writing it, Li Shimin looked at these words repeatedly and felt very satisfied. Wang Fugui stood behind Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty's words are really getting better and better. The slave guessed that when Feng Deyi saw this letter, he would definitely order someone to carefully frame it and hang it in the middle of the hall, showing glory and leaving it to future generations. Your Majesty, the slave maid heard that at the birthday banquet of the prime minister today, a major event happened, and it was also an interesting thing: I heard that Feng Deyi unexpectedly highly recommended Lord Cen Wenwen Cen, and said in public that Lord Cen Wenwen Cen is the next head of the southern clan, and in the position, the secretary and supervisor Xiao Yu Xiao are willing to be under Lord Cen Wen. ”

Hearing what Wang Fugui said, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself: "Cen Wenwen? The next head of the Southern Clan? ”

He couldn't help but think of Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji who were still kneeling outside the gate of the Taiji Palace, and secretly pondered: "The eldest grandson Wuji, the new head of the Guanlong aristocracy. ”

Li Shimin fell into deep thought. After a long time, he picked up the pen again and wrote on a piece of paper. After that, he picked up the piece of paper and said to Wang Fugui: "Don't say the previous words to Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji. Go, read the content of this edict to Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

After that, he handed over the congratulatory message he had written earlier to Wang Fugui and said: "After reading it to Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji, I will give this congratulatory message to Feng Deyi and Feng Deyi." ”

After Wang Fugui took it, he turned around and left the Taiji Palace.

Outside the gate of Taiji Palace, Wang Fugui pulled his male duck voice and recited loudly: "Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, has no son of heaven, tries to get involved in the imperial power, acts recklessly, and is no longer suitable for serving in Beijing. Leave Beijing within a time limit and are not allowed to stay. ”

Hearing the edict, Gao Shilian felt as if someone had slapped him from behind, and he fainted all of a sudden. And the eldest grandson Wuji knew that his uncle's career was over, and Shang Shuling didn't have to think about it anymore, and the official department was the highest official position in his uncle's life. Without a son of heaven, he tried to get involved in the imperial power, and this article completely sent Gao Shilian to hell, and he will never be able to turn over. Trying to get involved in the imperial power, that is to have a disobedient heart, trying to rebel, that is a great sin, no emperor will reuse such a person. The eldest grandson Wuji felt very surprised, he couldn't understand how Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had always valued love and righteousness, was so decisive this time, so ruthless, and made such a heavy hand.

In the Taiji Palace, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin stroked Li Xuan's recommendation that Cen text had been re-glued, and said: "Cen text? The next head of the Southern Clan? King Yong'an recommended a great talent for my Tang Dynasty, a talent of Zaifu. Tomorrow, I will ask Xiao Yu, the secretary supervisor, to store this passbook in the collection of the secretary province, so that future generations can see that King Yong'an has the heart to recommend talents for my Tang Dynasty. ”
