drank Yuwen Zhiji's tea, and chatted with Yuwen Shu, Yu Wenhua and others for a while. Chen Kefu also got up and said goodbye. Yu Wenshu and the others personally sent them out of the mansion, and Chen Lei had already brought a carriage and was waiting there.

"Thank you Xu Gong for the tea, the tea is good, farewell!" Liao Mo go slowly! ”

Chen Kefu and Yu Wenshu chatted a few more words, stepped into the carriage and left, and rushed to Li Yuan's mansion. Even after drinking tea, they will never return to their former alliances. In the future, they will have to pretend to be honest in front of Yang Guang

Playing his own role sè. Moreover, the conflict of interests between the two sides also makes them only rivals rather than friends in the future. Today's tea is nothing more than a sign that they will give up the most lethal means, this

It is also Yuwenshu's most direct retaliation against Chen Kefu.

Chen Kefu is a heavy general at the border pass, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, although he is far away in Liaodong and Murowei. But Yu Wenshu believes that if the other party is worried that he will be assassinated, then the other party is likely to return the favor

Shi Bi body. At that time, it is very likely that the net will be broken, and both sides will lose, and they are not willing to do so. This is the meaning of this cup of tea, to reach a compromise and no longer use such jī means.

Li Yuan's Tang Guogong Mansion and Chen Kefu and Yuwenshu are not in the same place, there are several square areas apart, and it can be regarded as a good house. However, compared with Chen Kefu's mansion, it is one or two lower

Grade. In the past, although Li Yuan was an imperial relative, he was not the most powerful group of people in the Great Sui. Looking at Li Yuan's Tang State Mansion, Chen Kefu smiled, with Li Yuan's current status, even if it is difficult for him to live in the Eastern Capital for a few days a year, Xiang

Within half a year, I will definitely move to his place.

Originally, it was just a reception banquet for Li Yuan to Chen Kefu, but he didn't expect that after Li Yuan entered the palace once, he was not only promoted to Taiyuan to stay behind, but also worshiped the prime minister. This made the upper and lower parts of the house extremely moving, and directly raised the scale of the banquet to a higher level, and the guests of the banquet increased a lot.

When Chen Kefu arrived, he found that the front of the Tang State Mansion was crowded with people and brilliant lights.

Not only did the princes and nobles of the capital basically arrive, but even the local ministers such as the Taishou who had already arrived in the capital in advance also came. There was a housekeeper in front of the house with a few accounts, and a dozen or so family members were receiving gifts and singing.

Every time a distinguished guest hands over an invitation and a gift, a salute will sing loudly.

Today, there are five phases in a row, but Su Wei and Chen Kefu were already Xiangguo before, and this time they just improved their rankings a little more. And although Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju also worshiped each other, they had already participated before

politics, and there is no banquet today. Therefore, Li Yuan's Mansion, the only one to hold a banquet today, suddenly gathered all the officials. Everyone knows that although Li Yuan will not stay in Kyoto after worshipping the prime minister, he has the power of the fifteen counties of Chen Kefu

The sons-in-law who have more than 100,000 heavy soldiers support Li and Chen, and the two families must be the most noble in the court in the future. Taking advantage of this time to win over the relationship is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

Although martial law is imposed tonight, Li Yuan's mansion has a big banquet and invites hundreds of officials, of course, no one will be embarrassed. Not only that, but the Praetorian Guards also sent many Janissaries to stand guard in front of the door to help maintain order. All at once will

The scale of the banquet has expanded, and many chefs in Fuzhong are not enough, so Li Jiancheng directly sent people to the major restaurants in Xishi to bring their chefs and servants together. There is also a dance hall and music workshop, and many dancing girls are also sent to the Tang State Mansion to help the fun.

There were not many officials who received invitations, but many of the officials and ministers of Beijing who did not receive the invitations, even those nobles, and everyone in Kyoto who was on the table, rushed with a carload of gifts

Come. The entire Tang Mansion has been expelled for more than two miles of people who came to the banquet to give gifts. As a result, Jin Wuwei had to send extra personnel to allow guests to go to the Tang Palace's mansion to travel on the night of martial law.

There were so many people giving gifts that the housekeeper had to open the side door of the Houhuā Garden and let those people go there to give gifts. On the meadow of the Houhuā Garden, countless gifts, all kinds of precious calligraphy and paintings, and even rare treasures, silk and satin, gold and silver treasures, large and small cages, piled up into a small mountain.

"Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Liao Guogong, Shangshu Right Servant, Generalissimo of the Mobei Road March, Temperance of the soldiers and horses of the fifteen counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Murowei, Chen Dashuai has arrived! Send 10,000 gold coins and 1,000 pearls of the East China Sea! ”

In front of the mansion, the master of ceremonies cheered excitedly, as if Chen Kefu's heavy gift was given to him. The other officials in front of the palace were extremely amazed, 10,000 gold coins, that is equivalent to 13,000 yuan. One shot is a grand gift, not counting the 1,000 Dongzhu that are also worth 10,000 yuan.

,

Li Shimin had already come back first, and at this time, he stood in front of the house with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to greet the guests. Seeing that Chen Kefu had arrived, the three of them hurriedly greeted him, and Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Why did the marshal come by himself, we have arranged for carriages and horses to meet him in the Liaoguo Mansion." Li Shimin and Li Yuanji also stepped forward to call their brother-in-law.

Chen Kefu's son patted Li Jiancheng on the shoulder, "We are all a family, why bother to see each other like this." …，

Li Jiancheng also smiled, he was the eldest son, and he was thinking about how to inherit his father's title family in peace. He doesn't need to make a career, as long as he can take over the entire family safely. So at the beginning of him

did not stay in Liaodong, but followed his father. But when Li Shimin returned to the Central Plains, he sensitively saw that the second brother, who was a little naïve in the past, had matured too much, and even his excellence had made him feel a little intimidating and uneasy. whereas

The cause of all this was undoubtedly Chen Kefu, and Chen Kefu's rapid rise shocked him. Although his father also worships the prime minister now, he is still much worse than Chen Kefu, so Li Jiancheng has already made up his mind that he must be with this sister

The husband has a good relationship. He believes that as long as he has the support of this brother-in-law, the future Duke of Tang Kingdom and everything in the Tang State Mansion will be his.

Li Jiancheng personally took Chen Kefu into the mansion, and in the hall, Li Yuan was chatting with Su Wei, Yu Shiji and other guests who arrived first. As soon as everyone saw Chen Kefu coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and Chen Kefu gave Li Yuan a junior salute, "Pojun has seen uncle!" "This is a family banquet, and Li Yuan is his quasi-father-in-law, so Chen Kefu only talks about the younger generation.

"The broken army came just in time, we were talking about you, I don't know when the county prince of Changcheng will arrive in Beijing?" The Duke of Changcheng County is Chen Kefu's father, the former Prince of Southern Chen, he is the Taishou of Qihan County in Hexi, in winter

The Asahi market is also to participate. However, Qihan is nearly 10,000 miles away from the Eastern Capital, and even if you go on the road in advance, it will take several months to reach the Eastern Capital, so you should still be on the road at this time. Li Yuan was anxious for Chen Shen to arrive, not because they had anything

Friendship. On the contrary, Chen Kefu wants to guide Li Xiuning to complete the marriage, and it is impossible for Chen Shen, the man's parent, to be absent. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Shen wouldn't be able to arrive for a while, Li Yuan would have thought that his daughter would get married as soon as possible. Today's Chen Ke is reassigned to high power, who knows

What did he think of the marriage that was set in such a hurry?

Chen Kefu smiled, "I have already received a letter from my father, he left two months ago, and he should be able to arrive in Kyoto in ten or so days." Since I was a child, I have been separated from my father, and I am also looking forward to being able to regain as soon as possible

See you at each other. "It's good to come, you can't miss him for your wedding." Come, Pojun, let me introduce you to some friends, they are all my Li family, you are about to get married, and these will be a family in the future. I can shine it from now on

Take care of everyone. Li Yuan smiled and pulled Chen Kefu to the other corner of the hall, where there were dozens of middle-aged men, most of them were dressed in luxurious clothes, and they were all from noble families.

But last time Li Hunna Although Yang Guang did not move Li Yuan, he also demoted many of their officials.

Seeing so many Li Que members, Chen Kefu was also secretly amazed, no wonder Yang Guang pulled Li Yuan up to be the opponent of Pei Que and Yu Wenque. Because Li Que has a strong foundation and many members, with Li Yuan as the leader, this Li valve can be quickly integrated into a powerful force, which is enough to confront Yuwen Que and Pei Valve, who are now favored by power.

Holding the wine glass, Chen Kefu couldn't help but think of the Chen family, he had never contacted the Chen family in the past. He always felt that those people had nothing to do with him at all, but now, he suddenly felt that if he could also integrate the Chen clan, maybe this would be a powerful force as well.

As far as he knew, the Chen family also had a large number of people, and his father Chen Shen had ten brothers who had been crowned kings, and eleven brothers who had not been crowned kings. Except for these uncles of his,

His grandfather, Hou Chen, also had many brothers and their children and grandchildren. Except for a few who had died young, there were also hundreds of Chen disciples scattered all over the Great Sui. Some of them have done the same as his father, and some are just a small loose official, but this is also a force to be reckoned with, and perhaps, it's time to use them.
