Chang'an continued to chat with people at the banquet, and Li Kuan asked the palace maids to get a few side dishes for themselves, and brought a pot of wine to find a pavilion to enjoy alone.

"Your Majesty, this is a complete release after stepping down from the throne."

The sound of laughter suddenly sounded, and a majestic figure sat down opposite Li Kuan.

Chai Zhewei.

Li Kuan looked at Chai Zhewei, who suddenly arrived, with an unhappy expression.

This guy quit the Datang stage five years earlier than him.

Before quitting, it was basically a beggar bone a year.

It can be called a strange thing in the Tang Dynasty political arena.

"Why don't you go and chat with Chang'an and talk about relationships."

"You know, the future is her world, you have to flatter it well, so that your feudal kingdom can live better in the next few decades."

Li Kuan also laughed.

In his opinion, he can quit, but Chai Zhewei can't quit.

Chai Zhewei can withdraw from the Tang Dynasty politics, but he cannot withdraw from his own family's feudal state.

As the lord of the feudal kingdom, he is responsible for his people.

Chai Zhewei naturally knew the meaning of Li Kuan's words, but he didn't care.

After laughing a few times, Chai Zhewei said naturally: "Emperor Taishang, you are also the emperor, and the connections in your hands are still all over the court, and it is good for me to come to you to talk to you." ”

"What's more, my son is settling with Your Majesty, and I'm here to slap with the Emperor, so don't delay."

Chai Zhewei's words are really shameless, at least, Li Kuan didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only shake his head and sigh The times are changing, and I can't keep up with it more and more.

The two fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and others also came one after another.

Looking at the white-haired Xu Jingzong, Li Kuan's heart was touched by a softness.

Lao Xu has really followed him for many years, and this time he even risked his life to come from the Americas.

"It's too noisy inside, we don't want to continue to participate, so we leave all the places to the young people."

Li Yifu grinned.

He also wants to stay in the court for a period of time and be a loyal dog for Chang'an for a while.

But he felt that he had to express his intention to retreat appropriately, so that he would not be attacked by all the crowd.

So it was right to come out to find Li Kuan.

It can not only tell the new courtiers that he is retiring, but also show Li Kuan his loyalty.

Kill two birds with one stone, it was perfect.

To say that you are not moved is false, and it is nonsense.

Li Kuan felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

"I asked the imperial dining room to make a few more dishes, and it should be delivered later."

Xu Jingzong is as sleek as ever.

Li Kuan swept over this group of old ministers who had struggled under him.

They all followed themselves from Zhenguan Nian and supported themselves to ascend to the throne.

Everyone gathered together to reminisce about the eventful old days.

Xu Jingzong said a word about the depression of following Li Kuan to Lingnan, and Li Yifu said a word about the hard years of the grassland.

In the end, the two sighed together that they were fortunate to persevere, and always believed in Li Kuan.

Li Kuan smiled and didn't say anything.

In life, there will always be something that you insist on inexplicably.

At that time, Li Yifu was not treated well by them in the grassland.

No, it should even be said that it is not well received by everyone.

Back then, everyone thought that Li Yifu would leave if he had enough credit under Li Kuan.

After all, at that time, no one would have thought that Li Kuan would ascend the throne.

But what they didn't expect was that Li Yifu would stay forever.

I have been living a life of receiving tasks, doing projects, and working diligently.

For a period of time, Li Ke wooed him, and Li Shimin also promoted him, thinking that he was a good young man, but he refused.

Everyone at that time was really shocked.

At that time, everyone began to accept Li Yifu one after another.

Recalling the climax of the past, Chai Zhewei said silently: "I think you are all too bitter, not like me at all, relying on my father's connections to win directly." ”

"Back then, I was a thief."

In a word, the atmosphere of reminiscing about the past disappeared in an instant.

Li Kuan was speechless.

This Chai Zhewei didn't seem to come to drink with him, but more like he came to make trouble.

Oh, come to think of it, this guy is really mad at him.

Then it's not so angry.

"Good reincarnation technology and good personal ability are indeed a strong combination."

Li Kuan was a little embarrassed to see the atmosphere, so he took Chai Zhewei to pick it up.

No matter how angry you are, this is also your own relative.

There is no way, a reality that cannot be changed.

Chai Zhewei smiled and continued: "Actually, I also have my own troubles, such as I don't want to work, I fail every time I resign, and I am forced to work extra for more than ten years. ”

Hey, Li Kuan said that he really couldn't save Chai Zhewei.

In the end, Chai Zhewei was poured a few sips of wine by Xu Jingzong and others.

It wasn't until Chai Zhewei's face turned ugly that Xu Jingzong and the others were in a good mood.

This guy is really annoying.

Li Kuan smiled and didn't say anything.

He also felt that Chai Zhewei owed a beating.

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu and others are not very good.

Li Yifu is a small family.

Xu Jingzong is a broken family, belonging to the type of person who has been brilliant and has not received brilliant benefits.

The fiefdom, title, power, and connections that the two of them now have are all made by themselves.

Chai Zhewei is different.

Chai Zhewei belongs to the second generation series.

In this life, when he stepped onto the stage of history, Chai Shao was not dead.

Chai Shao invested in Li Kuan early, and Chai Zhewei only needed to inherit this relationship.

Coupled with the identity of his relatives, whether it is Li Shimin or any prince of the Zhenguan Dynasty, he will not target him, and he can be promoted and raised step by step.

The sealing of the country was also exchanged by his father Chai Shao with his own merits.

He just needs to operate.

When operating the feudal country, he was able to obtain channels for some material output by virtue of his status as a relative.

The same is to sell spices, some big businessmen sometimes can't sell to Li Chengqian's processing factory, Chai Zhewei only needs to ensure the quality, and there is enough share every year.

This is a channel for drought and flood to ensure a bumper harvest.

It can be said that Chai Zhewei's life is smooth sailing.

Of course, there is also a relationship between his good temper and strong ability.

Everyone made a fuss, and they didn't blast Chai Zhewei out, on the contrary, because of such a fuss, everyone left Chai Zhewei behind.

The relationship goes one step further.

If the relationship is not good, how can it be troublesome.

It was late at night when eating, drinking, and playing, and everyone retreated.

Seeing the monarchs leave, Li Kuan got into the carriage back to the palace of Chu and left the palace to Chang'an.

The Chu Palace, which is still his original residence.

Now it's Li Chen's.

When Li Kuanhe was the prince, it was called the prince's mansion, and now that Li Chen has become the king of Chu again, he has changed it back.

Li Chen's backyard is cleaner, with only one wife and one concubine.

His wife was born in the Li family of Longxi and was Li Jing's great-granddaughter.

The concubines were Slavs.

When Li Kuan and the others came back, the Li family had already packed everything.

The imperial palace was completely left to Chang'an.

Li Chen couldn't help but say to Li Kuan: "Dad, you have completely regarded the emperor as a profession." ”

Li Kuan pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Otherwise, it will be difficult to tie me up for the rest of my life, how tiring I am." ”
