Chapter 656: Banquet
"The Eastern and Western Turks will do it together, tsk, it's a little interesting now, then Yuwen Chongdao probably didn't expect that the person he wanted to rely on would fall so soon!" Li Xin smiled and threw the information aside and said.
"Prime Minister, can Jieli Khan really annex the Western Turks?" Shen Qianqiu asked curiously. You must know the current comparison of the strength of the Eastern and Western Turks, and the Western Turks obviously have the upper hand.
"A thriving Eastern Turk versus a Western Turk at sunset, who do you say will win? I heard that the Khan of Tongyehu was now busy selecting beautiful concubines on the steppe, and handed over all his power to his uncle; Look at the Eastern Turks again, Jieli Khan is ambitious, bent on going south to the Central Plains, and is sharpening his sword! In this comparison, who will win? Li Xin shook his head and said.
Li Xinzhong also sighed slightly, his own coming, so that history has changed a lot, I want to be the same on the grassland, the grassland is not like the Central Plains, the Central Plains has various restrictions, the Turks are not good at attacking cities, so in the past, the Central Plains people were not afraid of the Turks at all, but in the grassland is different, the fight on the grassland, pay attention to the cavalry match, if it is on weekdays, Jieli Khan will naturally not do anything to the Eastern Turks, after all, it is a brother, but now it is different, Jieli Khan must find a new point of development, except for the Central Plains, there is only the grassland, and he can only attack his own compatriots.
"Xu Yi, where are they? Have you already entered Gaochang Kingdom? Li Xin thought of Xu Yi.
"They are disguised as business travelers to Gaochang, according to the itinerary, at this time, even if it is not enough, but it is almost there." Shen Qianqiu calculated the time, thought about it and said.
"Then let the serious ones move, and let Yuwen Chongdao focus their eyes on the border, not on the country. This will give Xu Yi more opportunities. Li Xin thought for a while and said.
"Yes, my subordinates will go and send a message to Yan Houye." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said.
"Subordinate Wei Yuancheng pays a visit to the prime minister." At this time, there was Wei Yuancheng's voice outside.
"Go, please come in!" Li Xin waved his hand, but he was standing in front of the portrait of Wei Nizi, carefully looking at the beauty in front of him, I have to say that Yan Liben's painting skills have reached the point of being superb, and everything in front of him looks like the real thing.
"Prime Minister." Wei Yuancheng entered the main hall and soon found that Li Xin was looking at the portrait in front of him. The portrait was his niece Venison, and his heart suddenly became much more proud.
"This Yan Liben's painting technique has surprised this king a lot." Li Xin said with a smile: "However, although Yan Liben's painting skills are good, the other party's posture must also be superior!" Master Wei, what do you think? ”
"The prime minister has won the award, and Nizi is only a little beautiful, and his subordinates are sincerely afraid, for fear that the prime minister will think that he is ugly, lest he offend Tianyan. It's just that the queen mother has a will, and her subordinates took the liberty to send her to the palace, expecting her to serve the prime minister. Wei Yuancheng was happy in his heart, knowing that Li Xin had taken a fancy to Wei Nizi. The thought that was brought up was also put down, and this one was enough to ensure the safety of the Wei family for decades.
"Well, Wei Qing's intentions are understood." Li Xin nodded. said: "Today, the imperial chef got a few Yellow River carp, and the king likes it very much, and it just so happens that you are also there." Let's eat in the palace and leave! Let's go to Concubine Wei. What does Wei Qing think? ”
"Subordinate Xie Cheng is gracious." Wei Yuancheng was even more happy, Li Xin rarely left others alone to eat, in the Manchu Dynasty, only Pei Shiju, Du Ruhui, and Li Jing had such treatment, but I didn't expect it to be my turn today, which made me happy at the same time, but also a little worried, Li Xin met himself, what was it for?
In the Wude Palace, Xiao Yu and Cen Wen were dealing with state affairs, there were a few small snacks and a few dishes next to them, and there was a hint of tempting rice fragrance, the two of them were eating food while watching the music, at this time, suddenly a burst of bamboo sounds came in, Xiao Yu frowned.
"The prime minister is holding a banquet?" Xiao Yu beckoned an attendant and asked, Li Xin never gave up the sound of silk and bamboo when eating, unless it was a banquet, or a family banquet, or when entertaining foreign ministers, Xiao Yu thought about it carefully, and did not find any foreign guests today, nor was it a festival, let alone a family banquet.
"Master Wei of Wude Hall University has entered the palace, and the prime minister will hold a banquet to entertain him." The waiter didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said.
"Wei Yuancheng has entered the palace? The prime minister is hosting a banquet to entertain? Xiao Yu's beard twitched for a while, and his heart suddenly felt a little bad, he didn't expect this Wei Yuancheng to enter the palace, not to mention, but also to set up a banquet to entertain, he Xiao Yu had never enjoyed such treatment!
"Hey! I'm afraid Lord Wei won't be able to stay in the Martial Arts Hall for long. Cen Wenwen thought for a while, then sighed: "The prime minister is thanking Lord Wei for his assistance and support, I heard that the queen mother is preparing to choose a concubine for the prime minister, and the Wei family is also in it, if nothing else, the Wei family will have another concubine." ”
"Are you saying that Wei Yuancheng is leaving the Martial Arts Palace?" After Xiao Yu heard this, the worry on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace, which was a very good news, and Xiao Yu suddenly became happy.
Cen Wenwen sighed, in fact, there was a sentence he didn't say, in his opinion, Wei Yuancheng's departure from the Wude Hall had become a fact, but Xiao Yu was not necessarily much better. If it weren't for Xiao Yu, even if Li Xin knew about the workshop, he would just let it go gently, at least, at this stage, Li Xin was still focused on business, and he needed money to fight, but Xiao Yu exposed this matter, forcing Li Xin to dispose of Wei Yuancheng, and the situation in the imperial court would be disrupted. Xiao Yu did this, obviously it was not in his interests. For the sake of the stability of the court, Xiao Yu will definitely leave the court. It's also about balance.
"Okay, okay, no matter what, Wei Yuancheng is gone, the next step is to push you into the Wude Palace, your qualifications are less, but if you can recruit the army in Hebei, it is also a great achievement, the prime minister will still reward you, and I will let the princess talk more in front of the prime minister." The prime minister will definitely agree. Xiao Yu didn't see Cen Wenwen's thoughts, but said happily.
"Boss, this? I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate! Cen Wenwen shook his head and said. He never imagined that this would be how he obtained his official position.
"What is this, you can think more about their children in the future." Xiao Yu waved his hand indifferently and said, "Text! Remember, the three princesses in the palace are our foundation, and she helps you as well as herself, understand? Xiao Yu said seriously.
"Yes." Cen Wenwen sighed in his heart. (To be continued......)
