Volume 2 The Imperial City Chapter 55 The Feast

"Brother Li, you still haven't changed."

Taishi's original plan was indeed to have a direct showdown with the emperor.

But after seeing Wei Changming and his party, Taishi changed his mind.

I really adhered to the fate of meeting in Pingshui, and I didn't make enemies with everyone, nor did I deliberately make friends.

This is naturally the best.

But Taishi knew that his good brother would not be like this.

So by night, the Taishi rushed back to the imperial city in advance.

In order to tell him about it.

If he knew about this, he would definitely make a different decision from himself.

The matter of the Hua family gave Taishi a wake-up call.

Let the Taishi understand that going against the sky is doomed to failure.

But Emperor Li didn't think so.

He still thinks self-righteously that he is the center of Sangzhou's luck and cannot tolerate the influence of others.

And the decisions he made, the actions he took, and the attitude he showed about the Hua family.

also made himself pay a painful price for the Li family.

Half of Sangzhou, in just a few decades, fell into his hands.

He worked hard and went to the battlefield in person, and only recently recovered half of the original territory.

I don't want to go on like this now.

Now this matter has seriously affected my cultivation process.

And the foreshadowing planted tonight, if his brother can wake up, it will be a win-win.

If you still insist on going your own way, you will be damned.

It's just that now it seems that his good brother still doesn't understand this.

The Taishi was deep in the depths, quietly staring at the palace, and then turned his head to look at the city outside the imperial palace, which was still a little bright.

A moment later, it vanished into the night.

······

After dawn.

At the west city gate, a lot of people gathered in a mighty way.

"It's strange, why are there so many people at the city gate today."

The vendors who set up their stalls in the morning whispered to the people around them.

"I don't know." The vendor next to him suddenly pointed to the back.

"Hey, you see, the royal family is also here, today is a big day."

Today, of course, is the day of the triumphant return of the Li army.

Early in the morning.

Several princes, followed by the ministers, came to the west gate and waited on the road at the city gate.

At this time, the defenders on both sides blew their horns.

"Whew-"

The guards at the gates of the city opened the gates.

"Knock knock."

Outside the city, rows of troops, walking in neat steps, led by the flag-bearers in the army, walked into the city.

Rarely, the eldest prince was also in the crowd waiting on both sides.

At this moment, he speaks on behalf of the royal family.

"Welcome all the soldiers and return triumphantly."

"We are in the palace to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the generals. At the same time, we have prepared a sufficient number of feasts for the soldiers in the barracks to welcome you there. ”

The Great Prince looked around the army.

"Everyone, welcome home."

At this time, the people in the city also understood what day it was, and they were cheering and applauding to welcome the return of the army.

In this way, the soldiers of the army slowly advanced under the cheers of the people on both sides of the road.

In the palace, in the palace.

The royal family sat at the front of the hall, while at the back were several generals and meritorious ministers.

The Emperor sat on the dragon chair in the forefront, holding a wine glass.

"Generals, I am very happy. Come, you're welcome, pour you wine. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

In the hall, the staggered plans are staggered, and there is a scene of celebration.

"Your Majesty, the greatest hero of this expedition is none other than the Grand Master."

As everyone raised their glasses, a general spoke.

"It is the Taishi who has resisted the strong man in the infancy stage for us, so that all our soldiers can be like a broken bamboo and move forward."

"The general is right, how can we forget the Taishi."

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, raising his glass to the old man in the Taoist robe.

"Come, let's thank the Taishi, come, for the Taishi, cheers."

"Cheers."

The Taoist robe Lao Tzu was also holding a wine glass at this moment.

"Don't be humble, you guys are the ones who charge at the front, it's still you, I'm just helping you and doing my part."

"Come, for the sake of the soldiers, cheers."

"Cheers."

The four princes smiled and clinked glasses with everyone to congratulate, while secretly observing the emperor and the prince.

It's strange, don't you want to increase the dose a little, how do you feel that the symptoms haven't deepened.

This Taishi is too, what is the intention of the content of his letter, why is there no performance at all.

Thinking of this, the four princes raised their glasses and stood up.

"The master and all the soldiers have worked very hard. Come and we've made this drink. ”

"Here, cheers."

"Today, we have made dozens of delicious dishes in the Imperial Dining Room, and please don't dislike it."

"Come, father, this jade monrose grass soup is specially boiled in the kitchen, you can taste it."

"Well, you have a heart."

The emperor on the throne scooped a spoonful of soup.

"The taste is well done. Guys, try it too. ”

"Hmm." The eldest prince took a sip of the soup.

"The level of this kitchen is getting better and better, and I want to praise them another day."

The fourth prince smiled as he watched his father swallow the vegetable soup.

In the eyes of others, this is a filial prince who cares about his father's body.

Only he knows what laughter is.

He is the fourth son of the current Li dynasty.

Although he is talented, he has achieved nearly the same achievement by virtue of being a few years younger than the other three imperial brothers.

However, in this environment, the eldest prince is in charge of political affairs, and the second prince and the third prince also have their own responsibilities, and when it comes to themselves, it seems that they can't get a piece of the pie.

Whether it is a contribution to the royal family or seniority, he has no chance of inheriting the throne at all.

If his father's health is still healthy, he may still be able to rely on his natural advantage, and as time goes by, as long as his great realm is higher than others, the throne will naturally be his own.

After all, in this world, cultivation is still respected.

But there was a sudden accident, and in the grudge with the Hua family, his father was injured.

Although the outside world may not know about this matter, as a prince, can you still not understand?

If my father can recover, then there will be nothing to do, and with his talent, he can still compete for the throne in the future.

If you can't recover.

Then I can only think of some other means.

Monroe grass is one's first means, and the slow neurotoxin takes time to kill, and it can also give oneself time to practice.

And the letter to the Taishi is his second means.

The fourth prince believed that the Taishi would not expose himself.

Because he still has a back hand.

······

The banquet was a great success.

It's late at night.

"All the soldiers still ask the good students to rest, they have worked hard."

The emperor on the main seat had already gotten up to bid farewell to the soldiers who had left the table.

"Your Majesty takes her leave." The soldiers saluted and departed.

The banquet has ended.

The Taishi was also preparing to leave.

"Master, is it convenient to talk?"
