Zhu Anhe pointed to Nangong Lingmeng opposite, Yin smiled and said, "If you let that chick accompany me tonight, maybe, I can let Fei Wuchang withdraw the army!"

"Presumptuous!"

Li Chong finally stepped forward.

"The envoy of a country, the brother of the son of heaven, is he not afraid of causing people to laugh when he says such shameless words?"

has been an official for many years, and Li Chong has a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.

Perhaps suppressed by his momentum, Zhu Anhe no longer spoke provocatively.

He shook his head and snorted coldly, "Old thing!"

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With a shout, Liu Ji appeared in front of everyone.

He was followed by Feng Dagger and Li Feibai, as well as a group of eunuchs and palace maids.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Jiang Guo's civil and military officials immediately left the table and knelt on the ground three times.

Feng Dagger and Li Feibai stood on both sides.

The envoys of Wei Zhu and the two countries naturally did not kneel down to worship Liu Ji, they stood up and bowed their hands.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

Liu Ji walked to the main seat, sat on it, and then said: "Today's birthday of the Queen Mother, all Aiqing don't need to be polite."

Then he said to the envoys of the two countries, "You have come from afar, and I am very relieved, please take a seat."

Liu Ji said a few more polite words to the envoys of the two countries, and the eunuch beside him preached loudly:

"The auspicious time has come, please Queen Mother!"

A graceful and luxurious woman, surrounded by a group of palace maids and guards, slowly walked into the welcome hall.

Although he is the queen mother, he is only thirty and six years old, and it is the time of brilliance.

When he came to the center of the main hall, Liu Ji had already left his seat and arrived in front of the Queen Mother.

"The child wishes his mother a long life!"

As he spoke, he fell to his knees.

This was followed by the congratulatory voices of the civil and military ministers.

Subsequently, Li Zhong also spoke on behalf of the country: "Defend the country, I wish the Empress Dowager Jiang Guo a long life like a pine and a cypress, and a blessing like the East China Sea."

Seeing this, Zhu Anhe also stood up.

"I wish the country a long history of the Queen Mother, and the sun and the moon are prosperous."

While speaking, he shook his head and looked extremely perfunctory.

On this occasion, Liu Ji naturally doesn't care about these.

At that moment, after the envoys of the two countries presented congratulatory gifts, they took their seats.

The most conspicuous is the seat under Liu Ji.

Just as Li Zhong guessed what kind of important person the seat was for, Li Feibai strode closer and sat down with a smile on his face.

With a shock in his heart, Li Zhong couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Your Majesty, there is something unknown about the envoy."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"Jiang Guo is a big country, why is the etiquette broken?" Li Zhong did not shy away from it at all, and said directly.

"Bold!"

At this time, one of the hundred officials stepped forward.

Li Feibai looked at it, it was Feng Delong, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"Your Majesty has always advocated the rule of law by courtesy, and the government is based on virtue, so why do you say that etiquette is broken?"

"Humph!" Li Zhong sneered and replied, "Since the rule of law is governed by etiquette, why is a mere guest above us? Doesn't this mean that the status of Wei Zhu and the two countries is not even comparable to that of a mere guest secretary?"

After speaking, Li Zhong pointed at Li Feibai.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu Anhe also stood up at this time and echoed, "Your Majesty, how can this be, you have to give an explanation."

Smiling calmly, Liu Ji didn't answer, he glanced at a handsome man beside him.

The latter understood, and immediately stood up.

"In Xia Liu Chu, he is His Majesty's brother, and he is King Zheng. Let this king answer your questions."

"Say it." Li stroked his beard and closed his eyes.

"Our court stipulates that all those who have made great contributions to the Jiang country can sit next to His Majesty during the banquet. This Bai Keqing is personally sealed by His Majesty, enjoying the honor of being exempt from kneeling in front of the palace, and he sits here on the birthday of his mother

It makes sense, and there is no other intention." Liu Chu replied.

Looking around, Li Feibai couldn't help but sigh when he saw Liu Chu's dignified appearance.

Once upon a time, Liu Chu also chased after him and asked about his knowledge.

Back then, Li Feibai had the best impression of the princes of Jiang State, including Liu Ji and Liu Chu.

The former has the world in mind, and the latter is a gentleman.

"What?" Li was shocked: "Don't kneel in front of the palace? He?"

He pointed at Li Feibai.

"Why Lord Li, don't I, a guest, deserve such an honor?" Li Feibai asked rhetorically.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, as far as I know, Fei Fei Li does not belong to any country, why does he claim that he has done a great service to your country?" Li Zhong asked again in excitement.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Liu Ji was also slightly displeased.

"Your envoy is cautious, what kind of contribution Bai Keqing has made to our country, how can you know?"

Seeing that Liu Ji was a little angry, Li Zhong calmed down.

"It's the old man who talks too much."

He glanced at Li Feibai coldly, and turned his head back to his place.

At the beginning of the banquet, although Liu Ji was frugal, there were foreign envoys, which was related to Jiang Guo's face, and the banquet was naturally indispensable to the delicacies of the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies.

Of course, there are also singers who dance and make music.

For a while, it was not lively.

Full of wine and food, Liu Ji stood up.

"Your honor, I can't drink enough, so I'm out of company first, and King Zheng will greet you on my behalf."

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Li Chong and Zhu Anhe also stood up and bowed their hands.

After another moment, the sun set, and the Queen Mother also got up to say goodbye.

Seeing that the two masters had left, everyone was also in a gloomy mood, and the civil and military officials got up and left one after another.

Zhu Anhe, who was slightly drunk, also stood up, shook his head and said:

"It's boring, it's not fun at all, let's go."

Seeing this, Li Chong also got up and arched his hand and said, "King Zheng, in this case, we will also go back to rest."

"Your Majesty has ordered this king to entertain you, and let me send you off." Liu Chu spoke.

A hint of joy flashed in Li Chong's eyes, and he disappeared in a flash.

Then he replied, "In this way, there will be Lord Lao."

"Everyone, please!" Liu Chu stretched out his hand and gestured towards the door.

"That's right." Li Chong suddenly interjected: "Lord Wang, can you let Feng Delong, the secretary of the military department, accompany me?"

"Why is that?" Liu Chu asked.

"It's no secret, Lao Yu and Feng Delong intersected forty years ago, and they had a feeling of hating each other, but they have been their masters over the years and have broken off contact. Now that I have this opportunity, I want to talk about Fengyue with Elder Feng again, I wonder if His Highness can agree?"

"Oh? Do you know Feng Delong?" Liu Chuhu asked.

Li Feibai, who was on the side, immediately became alert when he heard this conversation.

"Forty years ago." Li Zhong deliberately emphasized the time, so as not to be suspicious in Liu Chu's heart.

"Lord Wang, Elder Li."

At this time, Feng Delong also stood up and saluted the two.

"I said, what are you afraid of?" Zhu Anhe waited a little impatiently: "It's all old friends forty years ago, and there has been no contact over the years, besides, this military department has not brought you any losses in forty years, do you still suspect that he can't collaborate with the enemy?"

Although Zhu Anhe said the central matter, Liu Chu was not arrogant or angry, and replied with a smile: "This king is not suspected of Feng Shangshu collaborating with the enemy, but is worried that Feng Shangshu is old and healthy, and the night is dark, I am afraid that my body will not be able to support it."
