"Salute the people!" A eunuch stood on top of the dragon ladder and shouted loudly.

Lin Yuan and everyone saluted Zhao Gou and Empress Wu.

"Sit down!"

After a brief etiquette, everyone sat down again.

The whole palace was silent, no one dared to speak, and even a needle could be heard.

Zhao Gou overlooked all the civil and military ministers in a circle and raised his glass directly.

"My first cup of wine today is the wine of abundance, to celebrate the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country and the people are safe! It is the work of your servants who drank this cup with me! ”

"Congratulations to our dynasty, prosperity, and peace and security!"

All the ministers of civil and military affairs also immediately raised their glasses and echoed Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou nodded, drank the first glass of wine, and immediately a eunuch filled it for him.

"This second cup of wine is a celebratory wine, to celebrate my Great Song Dynasty for capturing Zhang Bangchang alive and crushing the treacherous plan of the Jin people, it is really God bless the Great Song Dynasty!"

"God bless the Great Song, Your Majesty is blessed!"

Zhao Gou and the ministers drank this second glass of wine.

After drinking, Zhao Gou immediately toasted the third glass of wine.

"This third cup of wine is the wine of my expectation, drink this cup of wine, I hope that from now on, I, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, will work together to create a peaceful and prosperous world!"

"May I serve the king and serve the country!"

Three glasses of wine before the banquet are directly eaten.

Only then did the old eunuch shout in a sharp voice: "The banquet begins, serve the food!" ”

With his shout, a group of palace maids outside Deshou Palace rushed in from outside the palace.

In each of them, they were holding a white jade plate, which was filled with delicacies.

"Let's have fun!" The old eunuch squealed again.

In the palace, the court music was played directly, the chimes rang, and the silk and bamboo entered the ears, like a small river trickling, flowing into the heart.

The first course was served, the golden charcoal-grilled duck.

The rich fragrance was fragrant, and the roundworms in Lin Yuan's stomach were hooked out.

He just picked up the duck and tore it apart regardless of any etiquette.

"Chu Jianghou eats a duck, why is he so eager that he doesn't even care about etiquette?"

In the civil official seat opposite, Zhao Zhen, the king of Pingjiang County, suddenly shouted loudly.

Lin Yuan's movements froze, and he saw that everyone was looking at him, even Zhao Gou and Empress Wu above.

He hurriedly stood up, and when he stood up, he immediately drew a whisper from a group of people around him.

"Oh my God, this is Chu Jianghou? So young! ”

"Really, so handsome!"

"If only I could marry the Marquis of Chu Jiang......"

……

Lin Yuan ignored the gazes of the others and saluted Zhao Gou and Empress Wu.

"Your Majesty, Mother forgive your sins! The minister's crude appearance has defiled the eyes of His Majesty and Niangniang! ”

Zhao Gou smiled and said, "It's okay, the Marquis of Chu Jiang was born in the army, so there is no need to be taboo about eating appearances." When I was the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, I was also like you! ”

Lin Yuan had a cold sweat on his forehead, this old boy, who seemed to be defending him, was actually digging a pit for him.

His mind moved, and he immediately replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!" However, how can Wei Chen be compared with His Majesty? ”

"Your Majesty was the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, but in fact, he was a real dragon dormant, and he ate a dragon, swallowing the sun and the moon in his mouth, and spitting mountains and rivers in his mouth, while Weichen was a tiger, panicked, and hungry and didn't choose to eat."

"Hahaha!" Above, Zhao Gou was very happy when he heard Lin Yuan's analogy, and laughed.

The surrounding ministers also immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zhen saw that Lin Yuan replied wittily and escaped a catastrophe, and he was very unwilling in his heart, and his eyes rolled and he had another plan.

"Marquis Chu Jiang, Your Majesty is a real dragon, and the people of the whole world know it, but what explanation do you make by comparing yourself to a fierce tiger? Don't know that there is an allusion to the dragon and tiger fighting? Do you want to plot against me and overthrow my Great Song Dynasty? ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire Deoksugung Palace fell silent.

Even Zhao Gou above looked stunned and put down his wine glass.

The air was terrible all at once.

Zhao Zhen stared at Lin Yuan closely, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Lin Yuan smiled lightly, leaned over and drank all the wine in the cup.

"King Pingjiang, I want to ask you a question."

"Just ask." Zhao Zhenzhi was complacent, feeling that he was sure of victory, forcing Lin Yuan into a desperate situation.

"I want to ask, the dragon is high above the nine heavens, and the tiger can only run on the ground, how can the two fight?"

"Hmph, can't the dragon come down?"

"Presumptuous!"

Before Zhao Zhen's words were finished, Zhao Gou directly became angry.

Zhao Zhen immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, his face turned pale, and he knelt down directly in panic.

Lin Yuan smiled lightly, at this critical moment, how could he forget to add fire.

"Zhao Zhen, you just said that you want the real dragon to come down from the sky? Your words insinuate that you want Your Majesty to abdicate! ”

All the ministers were completely shocked by Lin Yuan's words.

For a time, many people looked at the nose and the nose and the heart, looking out of the world.

"I ...... I didn't! Zhao Zhen felt Zhao Gou's cold gaze, trembled in his heart, and tried his best to refute.

"According to the Book of Changes, the dragon is ever-changing, or dwells in the sky, or dives into the abyss, or incarnates the avenue, or sees the dragon in the field, the dragon is the embodiment of the avenue, everywhere."

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this kid's reaction to be okay,

Zhao Gou above, his face also softened a lot.

Empress Wu only stood up at this time, "The ability of the two Qing families to discern is understood by the mourning family today, but today is always a night banquet and a happy day, and everyone should use their tongues to taste wine and food, not to argue and quarrel." ”

"Yes, yes!" A group of ministers around him all chimed in.

Lin Yuan looked at Zhao Zhen, and there was a chill in his eyes.

This dog thing suddenly put forward a set of *** theories, which made Zhao Gou deepen his jealousy of Lin Yuan in his heart.

This can't just be the end of it!

Zhao Zhengang escaped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Lin Yuan again.

"I didn't expect that in addition to being good at leading troops to fight, Chu Jianghou is also very sharp-toothed."

"The king of Pingjiang is polite, no matter how powerful I am, I can't compare to you, I only rely on one mouth to become the king of the county!" Lin Yuan looked at Zhao Zhen, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in his eyes.

"You...... You fart! Zhao Zhen's face turned red, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes, "I am a royal bloodline, this has been tested by His Majesty himself, do you say this, are you doubting Your Majesty?" ”

"How dare I doubt Your Majesty!" Lin Yuan smiled lightly, "What kind of character you are, no one knows better than me." ”

"Chu Jianghou, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Gou also became suspicious of Lin Yuan's question.

Lin Yuan immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers and this Zhao Zhen are all aliens. I'm pretty sure that this person could never be of royal blood, but a fake! ”
