Chapter 307: A banquet was prepared in the main hall

"In the past, there were no small opinions, but now they are just a little bigger." Chu Ruoyang thought of Chu Ruoyang's expression just now, and she was helpless.

After the crowd arrived at the prepared hall, Chu Zhuangyan came out to greet him. As the prince, Tuoba Lie should naturally kneel when he saw the emperor, but he only half-bent his body, and straightened up with a simple salute. This action is absolutely disrespectful in the eyes of other ministers, and it can even be regarded as contempt.

Chu Zhuangyan was also very unhappy when he saw Tuoba Lie's action, but he didn't show it on the surface.

"We, the Bright Moon Country, welcome the Lie Prince of the Izumo Country, and there are other princes at the same time, the Bright Moon Country is rich in land and resources, I believe you will like it here." Chu Zhuangyan stood at the front and said to everyone.

After Tuoba Lie heard Chu Zhuangyan, he only had disdain, no matter what kind of land and resources existed in his eyes, the only place he thought was good was Izumo Country, as for other countries, he would never put it in his eyes, naturally including Mingyue Country.

After Chu Zhuangyan finished saying what he had to say, he invited Tuoba Lie to enter the main hall.

"Lord Lie, come with me, I have prepared a banquet in the main hall, and this is specially prepared to welcome you." Although Chu Zhuangyan is said to be the emperor of the Mingyue Kingdom, he does not dare to underestimate Tuoba Lie. This prince has the trust of the Emperor of Yunguo, and he will give him many important tasks on weekdays, and even faintly overshadows others.

It's just that this fierce prince is self-aware, and he knows that he will be very noticeable, and he basically doesn't do anything when he is in the Izumo Kingdom, and the envoy to the Mingyue Kingdom is personally designated by the emperor, so he came here.

"Feast?" After Tuoba Lie walked into the main hall, he looked at the furnishings in the main hall.

"It turns out that the so-called banquet of Mingyue Kingdom is like this, I thought it was the family banquet of which prince!" Tuobalie's obviously disgusted tone immediately attracted everyone's disgust. They have been preparing for this banquet for a long time, but now they are lightly denied by Tuoba Lie, and everyone is very unconvinced.

"What did Prince Lie say, you are the prince of Izumo Kingdom, so naturally you should be treated like this." Chu Ruoyang, who was next to him, shot back directly after hearing this, intending to explain that the specifications of this hospitality were according to the identity of Tuoba Lie. As soon as these words came out, the ministers next to them suddenly felt angry, and Chu Ruoyang's words earned them a lot of face.

"Then the king is here, thank you very much." Tuoba Lie no longer argued, but sat directly on the seat prepared for him.

"Since Lord Lie and the others have arrived, let's start!" Chu Zhuangyan nodded at Chu Ruoyang and sat on the main seat. One by one, the palace maids came to the center of the hall from the back of the hall, twisting their waists and dancing, while Tuoba Lie didn't even look at it, just ate what was in front of him, not only did he not take the palace maids in his eyes, but he didn't even take Chu Zhuangyan in his eyes.

"What? Don't like it? Chu Zhuangyan raised his glass to Tuoba Lie as he spoke.

"Where, it's just that I'm not used to these dances, and the dances of our Izumo country have never been so weak." Tuoba Lie was mercilessly sarcastic, and at the same time raised his wine glass to Chu Zhuangyan Yaoyao, and after seeing Chu Zhuangyan stunned on the spot, he actually drank the wine before Chu Zhuangyan.

Such contempt for Tianzun made everyone unbearable, as for Chu Zhuangyan, he was even more angry in his heart, he didn't go to meet this Tuoba Lie, just to show the dignity of the Mingyue Kingdom, but since he entered the Mingyue Country, this Tuoba Lie is the appearance of the empty eyes, although he can be like that in the Izumo Kingdom, but this is the Mingyue Country, and he is definitely not allowed to look down on it.

Chu Zhuangyan put down the wine glass after thinking of this, and the sound of the wine glass coming into contact with the table attracted everyone's attention, and some people felt that something was going to happen, so they silently put down their wine glasses. Li Luobing also looked over after feeling the solemnity of the atmosphere, and the eyes that surged between Tuoba Lie and Chu Zhuangyan made people shudder.

"Why is that Fierce Lord so confident?" Li Luobing secretly asked in Chu Ruoyao's ear.

"If you don't have enough confidence, you won't send this prince to envoy Mingyue Country, his ruthless methods are well-known in Izumo Country." Chu Ruoyan whispered to Li Luobing to explain this Tuoba Lie, Li Luobing secretly looked at it a few more times, shook his head, and was ready to shake out the familiarity in his mind.

I don't know if it's Li Luobing's illusion, when she shook her head, she always felt that the Lie prince glanced at her, and when she looked up, she found that Tuoba Lie was still making eye contact with the emperor.

"I hope that Lord Lie will not come this time to find fault, but to visit sincerely."

"I'm really here for a heartfelt visit." After Chu Zhuangyan opened his mouth to break the deadlock, Tuoba Lie also followed, but what he said in his mouth that he was sincerely an envoy, and few ministers present believed it.

"It's not right for Lord Lie to say this, from the time you entered the Mingyue Kingdom to the present, you haven't taken our Mingyue Kingdom into account in everything, if this can be called a sincere visit, then it seems that the people of the Izumo Kingdom are just like that." Chu Ruoyang spoke in time, avoiding the situation of Chu Zhuangyan and Tuoba Lie arguing.

One is the emperor of Mingyue Kingdom, and the other is the prince of Izumo Kingdom, the two of them are not equal, and if they quarrel, they can only be Chu Zhuangyan. Seeing that King Qin had resolved this embarrassing situation, Chu Zhuangyan also took back his emotions.

"Say so much what to do, drink." Immediately, some ministers stepped forward to ease the atmosphere, and the tension just now gradually disappeared, and the ministers who thought they would fight were also relieved.

Soon the atmosphere in the main hall became lively again, Chu Zhuangyan and Tuoba Lie had different thoughts, and they were both wary of each other, and after a few rounds of drinking, the dancing palace maids also retreated, and Tuoba Lie began to be restless again.

"Your Majesty, why don't you see the crown prince of your Mingyue Kingdom?" As if he didn't know anything, Tuoba Lie asked this sentence directly to Chu Zhuangyan.

As soon as he heard about Prince Tuoba Retti, the ministers present all looked at him.

"What do you think this king has done? According to my impression, on an occasion like this, shouldn't it be the prince who goes to the door to preside over the overall situation? How is a prince? When Tuoba Lie said this, he not only looked at Chu Zhuangyan, but also vaguely looked at Chu Ruoyang. His words not only offended Chu Zhuangyan, but also offended Chu Ruoyang.

Chu Ruoyang didn't expect that his status in this Tuoba Lie's heart was not as good as a cripple, and he almost yelled at Tuoba Lie, but considering the environment he was in, he still suppressed his temper.

"Who to send to greet the envoys is not fixed in the first place, and it is normal to send King Qin to greet him this time." When Chu Zhuangyan heard him mention the crown prince, he knew his purpose, most likely because he heard the news that the prince was deposed and said that he was going to come to visit, wanting to take advantage of the unstable hearts of the people in Mingyue to get some benefits.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain Tuobari's itinerary. Often, when envoys go out, they will inform them a long time in advance, and the suddenness of Tuoba Lie's envoy this time has to make people suspicious.

"Then I don't know where the prince of your country is now?" Tuoba Lie seemed to be determined to find fault, so he raised such a sensitive issue again and again at such a banquet.

"A prince of Izumo Province came to ask the princes of other countries, didn't the prince think that he was too lenient?" After hearing him ask like this, Chu Ruoyan also stood up.

Tuoba Lie looked at the eyes of the people around him and shook his head nonchalantly: "This is a very normal thing in our Izumo country, there is no need for you to make such a fuss."

"This is not Izumo Country, this is Mingyue Country, since Prince Lie has come to Bright Moon Country, he must abide by the rules of Bright Moon Country, otherwise we don't mind driving Prince Lie out." Chu Ruoyao said with a serious expression. Tuoba Lie was a little stunned when he said this, he thought that there were few courageous people in this Bright Moon Country, but he didn't expect to see it wrong.

When I talked to Chu Ruoyao at the beginning, I only thought he was an ordinary prince, but I didn't expect him to be able to say such a thing.

"Since King Yan said so, then I don't have anything to say. Everyone should still drink and drink! Ha ha! Tuoba Lie is thick-skinned, he has already provoked everyone's anger twice in such a moment, and he has found excuses to appease him twice.

"I don't need to drink this wine, Lord Lie's mind is not very clear, it's better to go back to the inn to rest first, and we'll talk about it in the evening." Chu Zhuangyan stood up and gave the order to evict the guests, and the ministers also had this intention, and the miasma of this good banquet at noon was stirred up by Tuoba Lie, and everyone was on fire in their hearts.

"Since the emperor said so, then the king is respectful and obedient, and he will take the first step." Tuoba Lie did not object, but saluted Chu Zhuangyan and left the hall directly.

Tuoba Lie left the palace directly without doing anything, and the ministers in the hall began to talk about it after seeing Tuoba Lie leave.

"Your Majesty, this fierce prince of Izumo Kingdom is so rude, he even came up to ask us about the affairs of the Mingyue Kingdom court, and he didn't take us seriously at all." Liu Shangshu said indignantly. He was originally a member of the prince's party before, and when Tuoba Lie asked him before, he remembered Chu Ruoyan's matter again, and his heart was even more upset.

"Take us? Lord Liu wants to say that you will be treated, right? Now that Lord Liu is also alone, without the backer of the prince, he must be sad in his heart. There was a minister next to him who whispered in Liu Shangshu's ear. Although Chu Zhuangyan knew that the two were talking, he didn't hear the specific content clearly, he just saw that Liu Shangshu's face changed, and after a while, he returned to normal.
