Lu Guogong Cheng finally invited a treat, this is a rare thing - Comrade Lao Cheng was born in Wagangzhai, he didn't have much money earlier, he was tight, but he was quite bold, and he would always invite his brother to have a drink from time to time, but since he voted for Datang, high-ranking officials are in front of him, Houlu takes it, and there are a lot of very profitable businesses outside, and there is no shortage of money at hand. It is very willing to build a gatehouse or something, and it will be difficult for him to invite a guest - counting the nearly 30 years that Comrade Cheng has been in Chang'an, the number of treats can be counted with two hands, and he himself often runs to other people's houses to drink wine, and at this time he abruptly sprinkled invitations, saying that he was going to celebrate the birthday of Xinna's concubine, although he was not good, but the big guys still came, not to mention anything else, he still wanted to drink the wine that he had invited this to drink before, so he wanted most of the invitations to come, no, not only Wu, Wei, Shu, King Ji came, and even the crown prince Li Zhen also came to join in the excitement, as for other high-ranking officials and dignitaries such as Zhu Suiliang and Cui Renshi, they were even more old and young, and the whole Cheng Mansion was very lively, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

There are too many guests, and they are all dignitaries of the dynasty, Cheng Biting Jin feels that he has face, but also for how to arrange the seats, and the original plan to make a fuss in the flower hall has come to naught, in desperation, he simply arranged everyone and others to the back garden, and opened an open-air wine feast, fortunately, the weather is hot at this time, and it is cool to drink in the back garden, that is, there are more mosquitoes, but it is rare for Cheng Biting Jin to be refreshing once, and the VIPs did not care too much, and the guests are as they go. The wine and food were served smoothly and quickly, and as soon as the wine was drunk, the excitement soon became lively.

"Come, drink, drink, if you don't drink, it doesn't count, come, it's full, it's full." Cheng Biting Jin is a person to go crazy, this wine has not drunk a few sips, he first shouted blindly, this table shouted, that table chattered for a while, and then turned back to the chief, a look of refreshment with a big bowl, insisted on fighting with Wei King Li Tai, poor Li Tai Although he is tall and big, but he is not good at drinking, a glance at the huge sea bowl in Cheng Biting Jin's hand, his heart has long been empty, and he desperately pushed it up, Li Tai didn't cry or laugh, and then he was coaxed by the brothers at the same table, and before he drank the wine, he made a big red face, which was really embarrassing.

Comrade Lao Cheng is a little tired, but it is worthy of being a living treasure in the wine field, with him, the atmosphere is very lively, don't look at his gray hair, but he is very active, after pouring the King of Wei and the King of Wu, after the King of Shu and the King of Ji, Li Zhen was also given a trick by this living treasure, accompanied by a large bowl of wine, the atmosphere of the whole wine feast is really active, the wine is drunk, people are refreshed, what is the wine order, the shooting pot and other things will come up, and the garden is full of laughter, More than 100 high-ranking officials and dignitaries also got rid of the formality due to the presence of the prince before, and they all drank happily.

Comrade Cheng's house is lively, and Zhang's mansion opposite is not idle - although Zhang Liang and Cheng Yanjin are neighbors, they have never been at odds, and they have heard each other's voices, but they don't get along with each other, and Comrade Cheng's hospitality will naturally not be counted as Zhang Liang's share, of course, even if Comrade Cheng puts the invitation, Zhang Liang will not go, because Zhang Liang is worried about tomorrow's Yin Mansion Patch, how can he have the leisure to drink a lot of wine, since his eldest son Zhang Mingxi and Wang Taizhong went to buy heavy armor together, Zhang Liang was anxious and impatient to run around in his own house, The monkey was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but fortunately, Wang Taizhong and the two had strong work ability, and after going for half a day, they finally lived up to their mission, sold the heavy armor, and hurriedly moved into Zhang's mansion while it was dark.

"Immortal Master, Immortal Master, the armor has arrived, I implore the Immortal Master to show a charter, Zhang Mou is allowed to do it, and one is allowed to do it." Zhang Liang ran in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived under the windowsill, he was already out of breath, but he couldn't even take a breath of air, so he hurriedly asked for advice.

There was a quiet moment in the quiet room for a while, and then, Zixiao Zhenren's clear voice sounded leisurely: "It's good to come, Old Donor Zhang can order five hundred fake sons to change their clothes and practice on the martial arts arena once, so as to increase their blood and bravery, and the rest of the mountain people have their own clever calculations, go." ”

"Ah......" It was dark at this time, and it was really difficult for people and horses to practice, Zhang Liang couldn't help but snort when he heard it, but he didn't dare to say anything against Zixiao Zhenren, and in desperation, he could only promise respectfully: "Okay, so good, Zhang will go here, this will go, the immortal master will wait." As soon as the words fell, he hurriedly rushed to the front yard to gather his five hundred fake sons to arrange the drill, but he didn't realize that he had just left, and Zixiao Zhenren, who was originally sitting in the quiet room, suddenly bent the corners of his mouth, revealing a mysterious smile, and then flashed, the person had already gone out of the door, jumped up, and disappeared into the night in a few ups and downs.

Five hundred people say not much, but it can be said that there is a lot of less, under this lantern exercise, its movement is very big, booming and noisy, not to mention that the whole Zhangjiazhuang is turning the sky, that is, the Cheng family across the road heard the sound, but at this time the wine feast is in full swing, but it is not very real, but I know that there seems to be a commotion outside, among the guests, there are extraordinary military generals, since some people heard that something is wrong, but when they see the prince and other kings are drinking, no one dares to come forward to destroy the harmony of such kings and ministers, The wine was still drunk in a hurry, but the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and the wine still couldn't continue at the end - just at the moment when the song and dance had just stopped, Cheng Huaimo, the eldest son of Lao Chengtou, hurriedly rushed to the chief, and shouted blindly in his mouth: "Oh no, something's wrong, something's wrong." ”

Cheng Huaimo is burly, his clothes are dark, and he is almost like his father printed out of a mold, even with a loud voice, he is shouting like this at this time, since the whole audience is full of vibrations, and the wine naturally can't be drunk, everyone looked at Cheng Huaimo with a look of surprise, and they couldn't understand what earth-shattering things this guy had discovered.

"Bastard, do you want to die with such a fuss? Don't get out of the way yet! "Comrade Cheng was next to Li Zhen and had fun, begging to pour Li Zhen's wine in vain, and suddenly Cheng Huaimo came to him so suddenly, his face couldn't hang up, he jumped up, waved his arms, and was about to give Cheng Huaimo a hard blow, fortunately, Li Zhen, who was sitting on the side, was quick and grabbed Cheng Yanjin's arm, which was considered to have allowed Cheng Huaimo to escape a pain of flesh and skin.

"If you have something to say, how can you act like this?" After Li Zhenshu said Cheng Biting Jin, he turned his head to look at Cheng Huaimo with a worried face, and said very kindly: "Huaimo, what is the matter, let's take it slowly, everything is decided by the palace." ”

As soon as Li Zhen said this, Cheng Huaimo gasped a few breaths, and before he could answer, the princes sitting next to him couldn't help but feel a bad feeling, and the three kings of Wu, Wei, and Shu quickly exchanged glances, and they all saw an uneasy look in their eyes, and they all had some speculation in their hearts.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is an occasion for drinking and having fun, wine is the first thing in everything, it is rare for General Cheng to invite a guest, you have to be happy, and it is not too late to talk about it tomorrow." Wu Wang Li Ke interjected with a smile, his words were witty, and all the guests laughed, and the originally serious atmosphere became a lot more lively.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, you were always busy with government affairs in the past, and it was not easy for the ministers to get together with His Royal Highness. As soon as Li Ke, the king of Wu, finished speaking, while everyone was laughing, Li Ke, the king of Shu, stood up with a wine bottle, pretending to be drunk, and leaned towards Li Zhen crookedly, trying to interrupt Li Zhen's question with a toast.

"The sixth brother is so right, drinking, drinking, don't care about him, as long as the sky doesn't fall, I have to drink first, come, the minister also followed the sixth brother to respect the prince's Royal Highness, and the minister did it first as a respect!" The two kings of Wu and Shu spoke out, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, was not to be left behind, stood up with a breath, and drank with a wine bottle on his head, with a cheerful attitude.

Among the kings, only King Ji Li Shen was ignorant, and he didn't know what was going on in front of him at all, besides, this little guy was shallow, and he was grabbed by Cheng Biting Jin and poured a few bottles before, and he was already drunk at this time, dizzy, and when he saw that all the brothers were clamoring to toast Li Zhen, he also came to the strength, staggered to his feet, held the empty wine bottle that had long been out of wine, and shouted upside down: "Drink, drink, drink, the prince's brother drinks......"

Several princes were so gagg, and they burst into laughter, and everyone laughed, but Li Zhen didn't laugh, and didn't pay attention to the performances of the brothers, and waved his hand: "Huaimo, say, what's going on?" ”

Seeing that Li Zhen was so serious, everyone didn't dare to laugh anymore, and they all looked at Cheng Huaimo, who was cramped and uneasy, although poor Cheng Huaimo was a big man, how could he have experienced such a scene, the sweat on his forehead flowed down like a waterfall, and he hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a person from outside the village, claiming to be a guest of the Xunguo Gong Zhang Shilang's mansion, saying that he wants to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and wants to report Zhang Shilang for gathering five hundred fake sons in an attempt to rebel, and Weichen does not dare to hide it and not report it." ”

Uproar, uproar! As soon as the ministers heard that someone had reported that Zhang Liang was plotting rebellion, they were in an uproar, forgetting that Li Zhen was still sitting on the seat, as for the three kings of Wu, Wei, and Shu, they were deeply heartbroken by such news, and then they woke up and made trouble for a long time.

"Ouch, it's bad, it's bad, it's Zhang's Mansion near the left, how can this be good? Brother Prince, go quickly, brother, brother...... The subordinate brother voluntarily broke off. While everyone was talking nonsense, Li Shen, the king of Ji, who was originally not strong enough to drink and was a little upside down, was suddenly awakened, jumped to Li Zhen's side, and shouted with an anxious face.

After the break? Ha, look at what this kid said! Li Zhen knew the ins and outs of the whole thing in her heart, and even more clearly knew that Li Shen didn't know anything at all, at this time, seeing that although he was already trembling with fear, he still insisted on breaking the queen for himself, his heart was suddenly moved, he smiled faintly, reached out and patted Li Shen's thin shoulder, and said gently: "The tenth brother can have this heart, my brother has suffered it, and now the matter is unclear, it is better to ask clearly before discussing." Speaking of which, no matter what the other brothers thought, he raised his voice and said: "Huai Mo, go, announce that person, this palace wants to ask for clarification in person, go quickly!" ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys." As soon as he saw Li Zhen speak, Cheng Huaimo was already determined in his heart, hurriedly answered, and rushed to the front yard in stride.

Cheng Huaimo left, Wei King Li Taike was in a hurry, not to mention that Zhang Liang was one of the pillars on his side, but said that the key to the kings joining forces to give Li Zhen eye medicine at this time was also tied to Zhang Liang, if Zhang Liang had an accident, then his Li Tai's loss would be great, seeing Li Zhen's posture, even if Zhang Liang was fine, he would have to be rectified, if he didn't try to control the situation at this time, he Li Tai could only end up losing his wife and breaking his army.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that although I don't know whether this matter is true or not, after all, it is about the important ministers of the court, and it is difficult for us to ask, and it should be decided by my father, so I will report to my father and the emperor first." Li Tai stood up, and suggested in a slightly hurried tone.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that what the fourth brother said is reasonable, this matter is empty, I am afraid that there is something strange, and the father and the emperor can only decide, if it is too late today, I might as well disperse, and wait for the father and emperor to deal with it tomorrow." Although Li Ke, the king of Wu, didn't care about Zhang Liang's life or death, but it took a lot of effort to create an opportunity to take advantage of the old man's strength to cut Li Zhen's strength, and he didn't want to see Zhang Liang fall into Li Zhen's net.

Li Su, the king of Shu, rolled his eyes, peeked at Li Zhen's face, and then stood up, looking for Li Zhen's safety, and persuaded earnestly with a full face: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the sage has a cloud: the son of a daughter can't sit down, you are the prince of the country, and your identity is not the same, whether Zhang Liang is or not, your safety is the most important, and the minister implores His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move back to the palace first, and this matter can be handled by my brothers." ”

Uh-huh? Are you in a hurry? It's a pity it's too late! Li Zhen watched the performance of the brothers quietly, and when the kings were done, he pressed down his hand unhurriedly and said: "All the brothers, please sit down, you have the intention of this palace in your heart, today is a good time for our brothers to get together, there are people who dare to do bad things, how can this palace be indifferent, this matter does not need to be discussed, and listen to what the door guest of the Zhang Mansion said, if he dares to talk nonsense and frame the important ministers of the court, the palace will take down his head to thank Zhang Shilang." ”

Li Zhen has already said this, the kings are extremely uneasy in their hearts, but they don't dare to be entangled with the dragon and the enemy, so they have to sit down, waiting for Cheng Huaimo's turnaround in a hurry, and after a while, they saw Cheng Huaimo striding into the back garden, and several healthy servants behind him carried lanterns and escorted a middle-aged man into the garden, and came to the chairman where Li Zhen and others were sitting.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highnesses, people have been brought." Cheng Huaimo took a few steps, rushed forward, and bowed respectfully.

"Okay, Huai Mo has worked hard, bring someone over." Li Zhen waved his hand and commanded expressionlessly.

"Yes, Wechen obeys." After Cheng Huaimo answered, he turned around and walked in front of the middle-aged man, waved his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, all the kings are here, if you don't come forward to salute, when will you wait?" ”

"Ah, good, good, good, the villain will go, this will go." The man is also an ordinary person, there is nothing unusual, as soon as he heard Cheng Huaimo's words, he responded incoherently, and then rushed to the chief in a few steps, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed without raising his head: "The villain Chang Dexuan knocked to see His Royal Highness the Prince, knocked to see His Royal Highnesses the princes, and the little ones are greeting you." ”

"That's it." Li Zhen kowtowed to Chang Dexuan for a while, then waved his hand with a calm face, and asked in a steady voice: "Is that Chang Dexuan, a guest of Zhangfu?" Why are you so anxious to see this palace? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiyu, the villain is Chang Dexuan, is the Jingzhao Lantian people, since childhood, full of poetry and books, Zhang Shilang fancied, Xi is a guest, dedicated to the clerical exchange has been eight years, deeply favored by Zhang Shilang, really should not be revenge, however, the villain is the people of the Tang Dynasty, dare not sit on the profit and forget the righteousness, as soon as I learned that Zhang Shilang was rebellious, the villain was worried, for the sake of the Tang Society, I dare not not write the dragon enemy without risking death to reach the heavens." Chang Dexuan kowtowed and talked freely, with a very elegant style in his words.

"Bold, you dare to spew blood, openly slander the important ministers of the court, is it tolerable or unbearable, come on, pull this guy down and cut it down!" As soon as Li Tai, the king of Wei, heard that things were really as he had expected, he was in a hurry, and he didn't care that Li Zhen hadn't opened his mouth, so he jumped up and shouted loudly.

Li Tai didn't expect anything big to happen when he came to Chengfu for a banquet this time, although the pomp and circumstance here was not small, but he didn't bring all the guards, only brought more than 200 soldiers and horses, and at this moment he entered the back garden to accompany only a few close masters such as Wan Chongshan, he shouted like this, Wan Chongshan and the others planned to rush forward to do it, but they didn't wait for Wan Chongshan and others to take action, but they saw that Ying Da, Yan Eighteen, Tie Rulong, Tie Ruhu and other masters of the East Palace had already issued a threatening breath, In an instant, the figure of Wan Chongshan and the others was locked, as long as Wan Chongshan and the others dared to make a move, they would definitely be greeted by a stormy attack.

Wan Chongshan and the others were also masters, seeing that they couldn't get rid of the clamps of Yan Shibai and the others, they could only contend with the other party, and in an instant, the qi of the two sides was entangled together, and the murderous aura that rushed to the sky burst out in all directions, and the smell of gunpowder in the field immediately became strong......
