Chapter 163: The Great Zhou State Banquet

Chang'an was originally the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the palace pavilion was not much worse than Luoyang, and the palace was magnificent and full of traces of history. In particular, Chang'an is less affected by war than Luoyang, and retains a bit of majesty and domineering that looks down on the world. And with Wu Meiniang's promotion to the realm above Jindan and becoming the first person in the world, Chang'an has become a little more lively.

Among them, there are people from all over Kyushu who come to serve the Great Zhou, and there are also Confucian scholars who dream of learning from the dragon. In addition, there are a large number of noble sons who want to ascend to the sky in one step and become Wu Meiniang's concubine and so on.

Changan.

The scorching sun is born, lazily dispelling the chill of deep winter and bringing some warmth to the icy earth. Because of the cold of winter, the moat of Chang'an is like a huge crystal, shining in the sun.

The sky was slightly bright, the city gate had just opened, and a large number of travelers were already waiting behind the gate.

"The majesty of Chang'an is really not comparable to Taiyuan." A noble man with an elegant face rode a tall horse, stood in front of the gate of Chang'an City, looked up at the majestic city wall that was twenty zhang high, like a cliff, and sighed.

"Although Taiyuan is not as majestic as Chang'an, the guardian power of a country has never looked at the height of the capital's walls." A man of about thirty years old with a resolute face had a flat voice, as if he were explaining a trivial matter.

The two of them are richly dressed, and every trace of the thread reveals extraordinary craftsmanship.

They ride on tall horses, and they have a temperament that looks down on the world, which makes people dare not look at them. Behind the two of them, there were dozens of young men in black suits. Their faces were grim, their right hands were always close to the blades, and their eyes looked around and kept vigilant, and they looked at them with extraordinary elite strength.

The two looked at each other quietly, full of vigilance and indifference.

Chang'an, Pawn Bureau.

The two noble sons with dozens of retinues, led by the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, slowly stepped into the Pawn Bureau, which was specially used to receive foreign envoys and guests.

The Pawn Office covers an area of hundreds of acres of land, including dozens of large and small mansions, and there is no shortage of luxurious and elegant small villas. Under the leadership of the officials of the Great Zhou, the two noble sons soon came to a luxurious and exquisite mansion.

"Haha, the two brothers came from a long way, but let Yuanji wait." Before everyone set foot in the mansion, Li Yuanji had already greeted him with a big smile. He stood in front of the door and bowed, showing the harmony of brotherhood and brotherhood.

Li Jiancheng turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "The fourth brother has been in Chang'an for a long time, and I think I have a good understanding of this place. The eldest brother and others have just arrived, and they are not familiar with this place. If you have time, the fourth brother should talk to the eldest brother about the characteristics of Chang'an. ”

"Where is the eldest brother, the younger brother has only been here for a few days longer than several brothers, where do you dare to claim to know Chang'an. If the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, we might as well discuss it when we have time. Li Yuanji was full of smiles, and he was very dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng in his heart.

My good big brother, do you really think that this is Taiyuan, and you are still a stable prince of the Tang Dynasty. You are really kind-hearted, you let the younger brother become the target of the public when you first came, and attract the firepower of the second brother for you. Hmph, and let you be proud for a few days, if his Japanese son marries Mei Niang, he will definitely let you repay it a hundred times.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and glanced at Li Yuanji deeply, which was full of vigilance.

Long before coming to Chang'an, his staff had already comprehensively analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the sons of the Tang Dynasty, and the person who posed the greatest threat was this fourth brother. Even if there is no provocation by Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin will not despise Li Yuanji's existence.

And the other party's prevaricating words made Li Shimin even more sure that Li Yuanji already had the heart to fight!

This is going to be a nuisance!

Several people glanced at each other, and then laughed at the same time, Li Shimin said: "Our brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so the eldest brother has to talk about brotherhood with the fourth brother in front of the door." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go in and talk about it." Li Jiancheng bowed his head slightly and said with a smile.

As they spoke, they stepped into the mansion one after another, testing each other along the way, full of blades and intrigues.

And just after several sons of the Tang Dynasty came to Chang'an, it seemed that a huge curtain had been opened, and the sons of Shu State, Dou Gongzi of Xia Kingdom, and even the little princes of the Turks, as well as the descendants of the sons of major families appeared in Chang'an.

However, in just two days, the huge pawn office was already overcrowded. Before the sons of the Tang Dynasty could stumble on each other, they fell into entanglement and embarrassment because of the changes in Chang'an City. For the first time, they found out that things could be even worse than they had previously anticipated.

"Hey, I thought it would take half a month for these people to arrive at the earliest, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly." Li Shimin knelt in the bedroom and shook his head helplessly.

Although they calculated that the other forces would not be indifferent, they did not expect that their actions would be so swift, far faster than they had predicted.

A middle-aged scribe with an ordinary face said: "Although there are many people, there are only a dozen or so people who deserve His Highness's attention. Wu Meiniang is a rare woman in the sky, and those unsightly goods, even if they come too much, they are useless. ”

Li Shimin's eyes were deep and speechless.

He didn't know much about Wu Meiniang, and he didn't even have time to meet him. With his character, he won't make any comments without a good understanding. But even if he hasn't seen Wu Meiniang, Li Shimin can imagine what a gorgeous woman she is, or a generation of strange women who will not appear in the future.

It's really exciting!

Li Shimin thought of tomorrow's luncheon and showed a gentle smile.

For Wu Meiniang, who is not young and has already become famous all over the world, Li Shimin has long been looking forward to it. Even in his state of mind, he couldn't calm down when he thought that he was going to meet the other party tomorrow.

Perhaps, the key to the great cause is tomorrow!

Da Zhou will feast the world's heroes at tomorrow's state banquet, and Princess Wu Meiniang will make her first public appearance. Thinking that with the wisdom of King Zhou and the purpose of these people's coming, tomorrow's state banquet has a great relationship with Princess Wu Meiniang's choice of son-in-law. It's just that how to stand out from the crowd and attract the attention of Princess Zhou is also a problem.

Li Shimin couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he thought of tomorrow's luncheon. I should be more mature and steady tomorrow, or decisive and heroic, or like an elegant scholar.

already has several children, and the second son of the Tang Dynasty who has never been soft on the battlefield has experienced the entanglement and uneasiness for a long time.

Time passed, and in the expectation of countless people, the most luxurious and grand state banquet of the Great Zhou Dynasty kicked off.

A total of 354 people attended the state banquet, of which more than 30 were the sons of the princely states of the world, and most of the others were the sons of major families and the descendants of the Damen faction. It can be said that more than half of the major forces in the world came to this banquet!

Whether it is for the Great Zhou or the future situation in the world, it plays a vital role.
