Chapter 678: The Change of the Birthday Banquet

"Taibao, the last general knows that he is wrong, thank you Taibao for forgiving the last general!" In the mansion of Li Changjie in Shenglong Mansion, Nong Zongjian confessed his mistake to Li Changjie in front of him with a guilty face, before he broke into the palace because of drunkenness and raped Li Rizun's queen and several princesses, which made Li Changjie angry, beat him hard, and raised him for more than a month before he could get out of bed, and today he specially came to see Li Changjie to apologize and confess!

"Well, it's good to know that it's wrong, I've already talked to the queen and several princesses about this matter, and they don't want outsiders to know, and I also blocked the news, and the outside world doesn't know about it, so it's your fate, otherwise I can only hand you over to the king to deal with!" Li Changjie said lightly, he can only deal with this matter like this, after all, he really can't bear to kill the subordinate in front of him who has followed him for many years.

"Taibao's kindness will be remembered forever, and in the next life, even if you are a cow or a horse, you will repay Taibao's great kindness!" Nong Zongjia said with a grateful expression again when he heard this, and even a few tears did not overflow in his eyes, and he was almost about to cry bitterly, which made Li Changjie sigh, and his heart softened to let Nong Zongjia stand up, and then said a few words of advice, which made Nong Zongjia even more grateful, and knelt down again and kowtowed a few times before getting up.

After chatting about business, Li Changjie was about to let Nong Zonggan go back to rest, after all, although he could already go to the ground, his injury was not completely healed, but Nong Zongjian suddenly said at this time: "Taibao, if I remember well, it will be your 70th birthday in half a month, this is an important day, do you want to do it?" ”

Hear Nong Zong's reminder. Li Changjie then remembered that his 70th birthday was indeed approaching, and he used to be unparalleled in Jiaozhi, so his birthday was very lively every year. But since he fell out with Li Rizun, his birthday has been much colder, and then he simply stopped doing it, but this year is different, he not only won the control of Thang Long Mansion, but also his seventieth birthday, and he is not young. God knows how many more birthdays we can have.

Thinking of the above, Li Changjie couldn't help but be a little moved, after all, people are old. I like to be lively, especially since he has no children and no daughters, and he is usually very lonely, but now he can take the opportunity of his birthday to gather a group of people to have a lively time.

But the intention is to move. Li Changjie finally shook his head and said, "Forget it." I have already made the king very angry when I took the Thang Long Mansion, and if I make a big deal about it, it will definitely make him even more angry when it reaches the ears of the king, and maybe there will be no possibility of reconciliation in the future, so it is better to keep a low profile. ”

Hearing that Li Changjie was unwilling to do longevity, Nong Zongjia persuaded him bitterly, and it was not easy for Li Changjie to say that he had been suppressed by Li Rizun over the years. I haven't had a birthday for several years, and secondly, I said that the soldiers followed Li Changhui to life and death during this time. It's rare to relax, just take this opportunity to get together, and at the same time be able to connect with feelings and so on.

Li Changjie didn't want to do longevity, but in the end he couldn't stand Nong Zongji's persuasion, and finally agreed to do Shou, but he still asked not to do a big job, just notify a few important generals in the army, as for the nobles in the city, they don't need to be notified, Nong Zongjian also agreed, and the entire birthday matter was completely handled by him.

Half a month later, Li Changjie's mansion was full of lights, although he repeatedly asked not to do a big deal, but with his current identity, it is impossible to do it too simply, plus Nong Zongjie has always insisted on doing it lively, so Li Changjie is not good at brushing off his kindness, so today's Taibao Mansion is also very lively, many generals who have received invitations come to Li Changjie with gifts to pay homage to Li Changjie, and people come and go.

Li Changjie just started talking to the people who came to congratulate him in the hall, today they are all generals in the army, and they are also Li Changjie's most trusted people, it was with their support that he was able to leave Thang Long Mansion and create a career in Nanding City again, and at the same time, Li Rizun did not dare to act rashly against him, so for these subordinates who can share weal and woe with him, Li Changjie also showed great enthusiasm, and after chatting for a while, the birthday banquet was also ready, so a group of people came to another hall to eat and chat.

"Zong Yan, this birthday banquet has worked hard for you, I'll toast you!" Li Changjie picked up his wine glass and said to Nong Zonggang at this time, almost all of this birthday banquet was prepared by Nong Zonggan, and Li Changjie has been watching him busy during this time, and he was quite moved in his heart, so he didn't forget to toast Nong Zonggan at this time.

"Haha~, Taibao, you are too polite, the last general wishes you every year today, every year has today!" Nong Zongyan also stood up at this time and toasted with a smile, but the others didn't notice it, but there was a bit of coldness in the depths of his eyes.

Li Changjie drank a few more glasses, and at this time he had already lost his usual acumen, and naturally he didn't notice Nong Zongji's abnormality, especially when someone just stood up to persuade him to drink, but he had to hold the wine glass again, and for a while, the whole birthday banquet was very lively, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The birthday banquet lasted from the afternoon to the evening, and when the second watch was over, the people at the birthday banquet were almost drunk, even Li Changjie was drunk and hazy at this time, and it seemed that he would get drunk at any time, as for the others, they were staggering one by one, most of them were drunk, and only a few people remained sober.

"Hah...... Haha~, a group of people are still planning to get me drunk, and they don't want to think about how drunk Ben Taipo is? At this time, I saw Li Changjie burping, and after scanning the people below with a pair of drunken eyes, he said to himself, and then he saw Nong Zonggan sitting there drinking alone and a few sober generals, and immediately raised his glass again and said, "Zongjiao, come, let's have another drink!" ”

"No need!" What Li Changjie never expected was that Nong Zonggan sat there and refused motionlessly, not even looking at him at all, and the other sober generals also did not raise their glasses

If it was placed in normal times, Li Changjie would definitely be very keenly aware of the abnormality of Nong Zongjia and others, but today he drank a little too much, and he didn't feel angry when he saw Nong Zongjia and them refusing to drink, but smiled with a drunken smile: "It seems that Zongjia you can't do it anymore, then this glass of wine will be drunk by Ben Taibao himself!" ”

Li Changjie said that he was about to drink the wine glass, but at this moment, he saw Nong Zonggan suddenly stand up with a sneer, and at the same time ordered loudly: "Come on!" ”

With Nong Zonggan's order, there was a rush of running sound outside the hall, which was accompanied by the sound of the collision of armor leaves and weapons, and then a group of hundreds of elite soldiers ran into the hall, and those few generals who were awake also stood up and stood with Nong Zonggan, and those soldiers who broke in began to arrest all the drunk generals in the hall, some of whom were relatively drunk seemed to know that something was wrong, and just wanted to stand up and resist, but unfortunately they drank too much, and secondly, they did not bring weapons, So he was quickly knocked to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, only Li Changjie and Nong Zongjia were left in the entire hall and the people behind them were not arrested.

Seeing this kind of change, the wine in Li Changjie's stomach suddenly turned into a cold sweat and flowed out, and the whole person finally came to his senses, and immediately stared at Nong Zongjia and a few people behind him with a pair of tiger eyes, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, and after a long time, he finally said in a deep voice: "Zongjia, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Hehe, the wisdom of the Taibao, can't you guess what the last general means?" Nong Zonggan smiled proudly, when he saw that all the generals in the hall were arrested and did not escape from anyone, he was also happy in his heart, he had been preparing for this day for a long time, as long as he controlled these generals, plus the assistance of a few people behind him, then the army in Li Changjie's hands was more than ninety percent controlled by him.

"Why are you doing this, is it just because I punished you for trespassing into the palace without permission?" Although Li Changjie came to his senses, he still somewhat understood why Nong Zongjie did this?

"Why?" Nong Zonggan suddenly sneered when he heard Li Changjie's words, and then looked Li Changjie up and down a few times with a complicated gaze, and then finally spoke, "Breaking into the palace is just a trivial matter, although I was punished, but I don't hold much grudge against Taibao, it's just that Taibao, you have always wanted to be a loyal minister of Jiaozhi, and even hope to reconcile with Li Rizun in the future, but you only think about your reputation, but you don't think about us who follow you, you don't have children who can not care about the future, but what about us, We all have a lot of family brothers behind us, if you have to reconcile with Li Rizun, maybe he may be pretentious at the beginning, but when you die, do you think with Li Rizun's temper, he will let us go? ”

Hearing Nong Zongjiao's questioning, Li Changjie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, opened his mouth to defend himself, but he didn't know what to say, this matter was indeed his negligence, he wanted to be a loyal minister of Jiaozhi, but he didn't think about whether these people under him also thought like him, and neglected their interests.

After a long while, I saw Li Changjie slowly speak: "Zong Yan, after the incident in the palace, it is impossible for you to reconcile with the king, although I have tried my best to block the news, but there will definitely be some rumors to spread to the king, this matter is my negligence, but have you thought about it, even if you kill me, what can you do if you control the Thang Long Mansion, do you have the confidence to defend here under the king's attack?" ”

"Hehe, this matter is not too much to worry about, the last general has secretly sent a letter to the Great Song Dynasty, willing to offer the Shenglong Mansion, and fight Li Rizun with them, do you think if the Great Song Dynasty does it, does Li Rizun have any hope?" Nong Zonggan said very proudly again, and the people standing with him behind him also showed a little smile, they had already been persuaded by Nong Zonggan, and secretly decided to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty had already sent a letter and promised them a good reward.
