Li Longji's eyes were fixed on idiot, while Wang Maozhong rolled his eyes.

She now knew that when she was laughing at people, she had to hide it so that no one could see it, wasn't she generous before, and there was a set of words to clear herself, as if she was the most innocent - should he praise her?

If Xiao Jiangyuan really wanted to snicker, she wouldn't let people find out, she did it on purpose this time: "Wang Kaifu is laughing, from the civil and military officials to the peddlers and pawns, who dares to underestimate the opening of the mansion?" ”

One sentence made Wang Maozhong unable to answer at all, but Li Longji woke up, saw Wang Maozhong embarrassed, and said: "I know who the person you are talking about, don't worry, I will personally help you tomorrow." ”

Regarding Li Longji's protection of Xiao Jiangyuan, Wang Maozhong only didn't see it, and pretended to be overjoyed: "That slave thanked Ah Lang for his kindness first!" ”

When Wang Maozhong left, Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly: "Song Kaifu will not go." ”

At this time, although Yao Chong has passed away, Song Jing is still alive, but he is from the first product to open the palace with the three divisions, and when Li Longji went out to seal Zen, he was appointed to preside over the overall situation of Chang'an.

Li Longji once said when he removed Song Jing from the position of prime minister that even if Song Jing was no longer prime minister, he would abide by Song Jing's words as a wise saying. Of course, at that time, he was just polite, but Song Jing didn't fail to be polite to him. Before Feng Chan set off, Song Jing was worried that Li Longji would begin to be complacent and happy, so he really gave Li Longji a letter to regulate Li Longji's words and deeds.

Some people are upright when they are young, and after years of setbacks or tempering by the surrounding environment, they often become sophisticated and sleek when they are old, but Song Jing did not, so after Xiao Jiangyuan heard who Wang Maozhong wanted to invite, he concluded the result in one word.

Li Longji didn't believe in that evil: "Does the general dare to bet with me?" ”

"Dare to ask everyone, what is the bet?"

"Of course it'......"

"The minister didn't dare."

“……”

"Do you really dare to ask Song Kaifu?" Xiao Jiangyuan knows too well the courage of her family's Ah Lang, for a person like Song Jing, whether Li Longji is tolerant or angry, it is a sign of respect and fear. It's usually too late to hide, for the sake of a Wang Maozhong, can he still lick his face and come up to scold?

However, they still made this bet after all, and the bet was on the three most fashionable Shu brocades at the moment.

This bet was put forward by Xiao Jiangyuan, saying that Lu Yunniang looked at it twice when she was shopping, because she was too expensive to buy it.

Li Longji couldn't let her win the bet. Not only did he really lick his face to find Song Jing, and tried his best to persuade Song Jing, but he also deliberately said to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military at the court meeting: "For such a grand event, Zhong Aiqing should also go!" ”

The Son of Heaven has said so, what else can the courtiers do?

Xiao Jiangyuan was quite unconvinced, saying that he would wait until the wedding day to confirm that Song Jing was really there, so that Li Longji would win. Li Longji knew that Song Jing was reluctant, so he didn't know Xiao Jiangyuan like him, just waited, and let her lose convincingly.

The bet has not yet been fulfilled, and Li Longji's birthday has arrived first. He has already passed many simple birthdays, and this time he is unwilling, so he is convenient for the Xingqing Palace Calyx Xianghui Building to feast on the hundred officials of the clan, and vow to celebrate it well.

Before the banquet began, hundreds of officials arrived, in groups of three or five, smiling and smiling, and they were so angry that they seemed to have never quarreled in the court on weekdays - it was just on weekdays, today was the birthday of the Son of Heaven, and if you dare to make the Son of Heaven unhappy today, the next one who is not happy is yourself.

Yu Wenrong was finally transferred back to Chang'an from the place, and he had to pay homage to the prime minister, and when he raised his eyebrows, he was surrounded by a lot of sycophants, but he couldn't look at it, and he had been absentmindedly looking for Li Linfu's whereabouts.

Recalling the past years, he and Cui Yinfu were too anxious, ignoring the old love of the sage, chasing Zhang Shuo that the poor man, and finally getting into trouble. It is precisely because of this that Yuwen Rongshen thinks that if he wants to stand firm this time, in addition to handling the affairs of the saint well, he still has to cooperate with a thoughtful person like Li Linfu to be more secure.

saw that Li Linfu was outside the crowd, chatting happily with a few eunuch palace people.

If you say which courtier the eunuchs and palace people like the most, in addition to Zhang Jiuling, who has good looks and manners, it is Li Linfu who laughs at everyone. These two likes are not quite the same, for them, Zhang Jiuling is the snow lotus on the high mountain, which can only be seen from a distance, while Li Linfu is a wild flower on the side of the road, and there is no distance.

Looking at Li Linfu, in addition to Yu Wenrong, there is also Zhang Jiuling.

Zhang Jiuling was much simpler, but he simply found that there was only Li Linfu who was outside the circle of ministers like him.

Soon after Yu Wenrong returned to Chang'an, Zhang Shuo was also called back by Li Longji, but unfortunately he became depressed and sick in bed, and he was afraid that time was running out, and he couldn't even attend today's banquet. Every time he thought of this, Zhang Jiuling felt embarrassed.

Since Zhang said that he was dismissed, Zhang Jiuling was implicated, first reappointed as an idle Taichang Shaoqing, and then went to the local sacrifice, and also did a local assassin history, this year because Zhang Shuo recommended him many times as a bachelor of Jixian Palace, he was finally able to return to Beijing.

He was actually very tired, and wanted to listen to his mother's words, so he simply resigned from his official position, returned to his hometown to fulfill his filial piety, and wanted to be ordinary and comfortable, but Li Longji did not let him go, and Zhang Shuo refused to let him go.

Let's take it one step at a time.

He was sighing secretly, Li Longji's Son of Heaven honor guard had arrived.

The ministers immediately bowed their hands, and when they looked up after the ceremony, they saw that not only the prince, the adult kings and the married princess were there, but Concubine Wu Hui was also there. Since their saint ascended the throne, he has never brought his concubine to attend the banquet of the hundred officials, it seems that Concubine Wu Hui is really the unshakable master of the harem now.

- So what, without the name of the queen, no matter how much she enjoys the treatment of the queen, it is just a mirror and cannot be counted.

How grand and radiant Concubine Wu Hui's dress is today, how well she knows this in her heart. She was too helpless, so she had to take a long-term view, she looked down at her generous son Shouwang beside her, and only felt that there was still hope in life.

After Li Longji led everyone to sit down, the banquet officially began.

This day is the fifth day of August in the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, the sky is clear, and the wind is smooth.

It was also on this day that the ministers, under the leadership of the chief prime minister Xiao Song, wrote a letter asking Li Longji to set his birthday as the "Thousand Autumn Festival", standing side by side with other traditional festivals, and celebrating every year and then.

Birthday as a festival, this is both a compliment, but also respect, Li Longji consciously by virtue of merit, enough to match it, so he gladly accepted - this is the first festival in history set up by the emperor's birthday, since Li Longji, most of the emperors of later generations have learned the same, but gradually no longer judge the short and long by merit, what kind of emperor can be like this, this is a later story.

Upstairs and downstairs suddenly shouted three times and danced.

Halfway through the banquet, Concubine Wu Hui was a little overwhelmed, so she went downstairs to change her clothes. When she returned, she saw a smiling scarlet-clad official standing on the stairs. She didn't care at first, and walked by, but suddenly her feet slipped, and the scarlet-clad official immediately reached out to support her, and whispered:

"The minister is willing to do his best, follow the work of dogs and horses, and swear to defend King Shou to the death."

This voice was very low, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Wu Hui was a little close to the scarlet-clothed official for a while, I am afraid she would not be able to hear it clearly. She stood up straight thoughtfully, and as she went upstairs, she asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency?" ”

"The minister is Li Linfu in the imperial history, the family is ten, and the small character brother slave."

Concubine Wu Hui had heard this person from Li Longji's mouth more than once, and he was all kind of words, like a delicate mind and a lively brain. Li Longji often talked to her about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and even occasionally consulted her for advice, but she had never heard of an official who had good words and no bad words. When she saw it today, she was a little surprised at first - she thought that such a smart person would be a person with a great demeanor like Zhang Jiuling, but she didn't want to look mediocre, only her eyebrows and eyes looked a little similar to Li Longji.

The mind is really delicate, and the brain is really lively.

Concubine Wu Hui does not judge people by their appearance, only hesitated for a moment, and then bowed her head and said: "Shilang has a heart." ”

After saying that, she gave Li Linfu a look and asked him to stay here, and after she returned upstairs for a while, he would go back. Li Linfu really understood, and even let go of Concubine Wu Hui's hand and sent him away.

Li Linfu raised his eyes and looked at the figure of Concubine Wu Hui leaving, thinking of Fang Cai's "Shilang", and breathed a sigh of relief.

He will do what he says, and he will do his best to defend King Shou, but he is only a five-rank imperial history Zhongcheng at the moment, and his authority is too small. Concubine Wu Hui called him "Shilang" instead of "Brother Nu", thinking that she understood his words, and he had always befriended the eunuchs and palace people, and it was finally not in vain.

It's just that he didn't expect that Concubine Wu Hui had just gone upstairs when Xiao Jiangyuan walked down.

Seeing Li Linfu standing still on the stairs, Xiao Jiangyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say anything, just greeted Li Linfu and walked in front of him.

She was going to change her clothes, but she didn't want to make an accidental discovery.

She didn't plan to tell Li Longji about this, one was unsubstantiated, and the other was that she also wanted to see how far Li Linfu, who was judged by Yuan Qianyao to be unworthy of being an official in the past, could go - of course, this was without any impact on the power and country of her family.

She didn't know how many prosperous crises Li Linfu had left for Datang and her family Ah Lang while being shrewd and capable of ruling state affairs in the future. At this time, she only felt that Li Linfu was a capable and smart person, and she was willing to give him a chance, and also reserve a candidate for the prime minister for her family.

He can think of Concubine Wu Hui's path, in Xiao Jiangyuan's opinion, although the effect is not big, but it can be regarded as a stroke of genius. Sure enough, Li Linfu is much more interesting than Zhang Jiuling.

After Li Longji's birthday, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was an auspicious day for Wang Maozhong's daughter and Ge Fushun's son to conclude a good relationship.

Ge Fushun's mansion was already full of guests, and even Xiao Jiangyuan represented Li Longji and brought his wife to come in person, but he waited and waited, and he didn't see Song Jing coming.
