After dealing with the problem of the cool officials, and returning all the victim's family property to the victim's family, Li Jing's reputation has risen and soared, and his wisdom has been praised in Chang'an City!

Such a happy thing, naturally have to celebrate well, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, Li Jing decided to hold a family banquet to entertain his uncle and brother.

Even Li Dan, who was recuperating in Tai'an Palace, was included in the list of invitations by Li Jing! Anyway, Li Dan is also his own uncle, and there is no reason why the family banquet should not be called.

It just so happens that a large number of poultry and livestock and other ingredients have been imported into Honglu Temple, which is the most suitable for family banquets!

It takes time to prepare, and Li Jing plans to hold a family banquet tomorrow to give the people of Guanglu Temple time to prepare.

……

The next day, Li Jing held a banquet in the palace, and his uncle, uncle, aunt, cousin and other relatives in Chang'an came to the palace in advance to wait for the meal.

Acquaintances of their own family members in groups of three or five, before Li Jing appeared, got together to chat about gossip, as well as what they had seen and heard recently.

Li Jing personally went to Tai'an Palace, picked up Li Dan, asked him to ride in the same car with him, and rushed to the Lin De Hall of Daming Palace.

"The Lord Regent has arrived! The saint has arrived! ”

Just when everyone was waiting a little anxiously, in the singing of the ceremonial officials, Li Jing and Li Dan walked into the Lin De Hall together.

All the relatives, clansmen, princes, princesses, etc., immediately returned to their respective positions and crouched on both sides of the hall.

Li Jing and Li Dan walked up to the main seat and sat down, looking at the respectful relatives below.

This made Li Jing suddenly feel like he was dominating the world, but he didn't expect that such a scene could actually let him experience it once!

"See His Royal Highness the Regent! See the saints!"

Everyone saluted Li Jing first, and then saluted Emperor Li Dan!

"You don't have to be polite! Today is a family banquet, where everyone is a family, today we don't talk about monarchs and ministers, only about the family affection between family members!"

Li Jing looked at everyone and said with a smile.

Although Li Jing asks everyone not to be formal, who dares to take it seriously?

Don't you know how the emperors of the Tang Dynasty came to power?

What kind of brotherhood is deep in Datang, brothers, friends and brothers, that is a derogatory term, how many brothers fell in the struggle for power, when the hand rose and fell, how could you ever think about the weight of the word family affection? Have you ever thought of brotherhood?

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Regent!"

Everyone only agreed, and then got up and sat down, as for the emperor Li Dan, he was directly ignored by most people, and only a small part bowed to Li Dan!

Among them, in addition to Li Dan's wife and concubines and children, Li Sujie is the only one, and he also gives Li Dan a little bit of thin face.

Seeing this, Li Dan's eyes immediately moistened, how could the fourth brother give birth to such a disobedient and rude son as Li Jing?

"Why is my father's seat underneath that?"

Li Jing looked at Li Sujie, who was sitting in the first position on the right, and raised his eyebrows, what is the person in charge of today's banquet doing, I don't know if King Xu Li Sujie is his father?

In this era of filial piety, arranging his father below, isn't this a change of way to scold him for being unfilial?

This is a very serious political accusation, and above the temple, the Son of Heaven should set an example, which is a major issue of right and wrong related to political correctness.

Even if you are not filial to your father, you can't show it, otherwise, you will set a bad example for the next generation, even if it is a person like Emperor Taizong, when he treats his father, he also tries to show his filial piety!

Emperor Gaozong is one of the best, but with the reputation of benevolence and filial piety was set up as the prince, and finally ascended to the position, Emperor Taizong gave birth to a big poisonous sore, Emperor Gaozong personally sucked out the poisonous pus with his mouth, and followed on foot with the car for many days.

The officials of Guanglu Temple trembled with fright, and Li Sujie said: "This is none of their business, I asked for this!"

Since it was requested by Li Sujie, Li Jing was helpless, persuaded a few words, and gave up after seeing that the persuasion could not be moved!

"Today is a family banquet, I asked Guanglu Temple to prepare a sumptuous meal, everyone does not have to be formal, open to eat!"

Li Jing got up and toasted everyone with a wine glass.

"Thank you, Regent!"

When Li Jing raised his glass, a group of relatives raised their glasses and drank a cup together!

The dining etiquette of Datang is a separate meal system, each person has an independent small table, a futon, the dishes are divided and placed on each person's table, the wine is added by a special maid, and no one is allowed to move around at will.

As Li Jing served, the maid who had been waiting outside the door walked in, carrying the food box in her hand, and walked in front of everyone, and the maid who was waiting for these people stepped forward, opened the food box, and brought out the delicious food inside and placed them on the table in turn.

Smelling the tempting fragrance, everyone was moved by their fingers, and tears flowed out of the corners of their mouths!

Oops! It's so fragrant, I'm almost crying!

At present, everyone doesn't care about so many etiquettes, just start eating, pick up chopsticks, and a meal will be eaten in less than a minute!

"Is this pork? Can pork be so good? ”

At this family banquet, Li Jing specially sent people to Guanglu Temple to guide and improve their cooking methods, no longer a single steaming, boiling, roasting, frying, frying and other methods, not only making the style of the dish diverse, but also greatly improving the taste of the dish, which is simply delicious!

Where have these royal relatives ever eaten such a delicacy, the pork that they disliked in the past has become a delicacy that they have an endless aftertaste at this moment!

It would be nice to be able to eat these delicacies every day, this is what most people say, but they are too embarrassed to speak, they can't let the imperial chef cook for them!

Some people even thought that after the family banquet was over, they would take their family cooks to Guanglu Temple to learn the arts, and strive to learn all these dishes!

"Brother Wang, I don't know if I can allow the cooks of the Ten Kings' Mansion to go to Guanglu Temple to study for a period of time, such delicious food, my brother also wants my father to eat it every day!"

Others didn't dare to speak, for fear that Li Jing would blame, but Li Jing's brother had no concerns about this, and pushed his father out by the way, using it as a shield to attract Li Jing's firepower!

Li Sujie was almost not angry to death, you are greedy for this appetite, how did you move your father out, and you don't know what sins you created in your previous life, and you haven't had much success in this life.

But, let's be honest, these delicacies are really delicious, and with good wine, this little day is also moisturizing!

Li Jing looked at the fifth brother Li Zan who stood up, and said with a smile: "You want to eat it yourself!" ”

After Li Jing debunked the purpose, Li Zan blushed a little and said, "I want to honor my father, and I also want to eat delicious food every day!" Brother Wang, the courtier has nothing else to ask for! I beg you for this one thing today, I wonder if the royal brother can agree? ”

Li Sujie was a little moved after hearing this, the fifth child can still think of his father when he has a place to eat, which can be regarded as a bit of filial piety!

"Since you all like these delicacies, it's not impossible, just go to Guanglu Temple to study!"

Li Jing's words shattered everyone's hope in an instant, they didn't expect Li Jing to be so stingy, he couldn't even learn to cook!

Aren't they some kind of clique for personal gain, as for so guarded? What else do you say that everyone is a family, and a family can do such a thing?

But Li Jing's next sentence made everyone happy, and they almost jumped with joy!

"I will ask the imperial chef to go to the Ten Kings' Mansion and teach the cooks in the Ten Kings' Mansion to cook these delicious dishes!"

"Brother Chen, on behalf of all uncles and brothers, thank you, Brother Wang!"

Li Zan is overjoyed and thanks to Li Jing!

"Old Five! Last year, you got a good result in the imperial examination! Do you plan to serve the imperial court? ”

Li Jing asked with a smile.

Li Zan is sixteen years old this year, and he is already familiar with books such as the Analects and the Book of Poetry.

Just give him something to do, and I can also exercise him, and I hope he will become a big help for me in the future!

Fight tiger brothers, father and son soldiers!

Li Jing hopes that his brothers can be of the same mind as him, and the second, third, and fourth children are not young, and they have not yet been crowned kings and married.

Li Jing, who is the eldest brother, should also worry about their big things!

"The ministers and brothers all listen to the king!"

Li Zan has no opinion, he participated in the imperial examination in order to serve the imperial court and do his best for the Tang Dynasty!

Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, very pleased!

The banquet continued until midnight, when the feast was over, and everyone returned to the palace.

Li Jing ordered Jin Wuwei to escort Li Dan back to Tai'an Palace to rest!

Li Jing returned to the harem and fell asleep, he drank a lot of wine, and the whole person was drunk and confused!

Early the next morning, Li Jing's head was still a little painful, so an internal servant came to report, and the waiter of the ministry asked to see him!

Li Jing frowned after hearing this, these guys are really good at picking the time, and now he still has a headache, but he came to him, it's really annoying!

Li Jing finally asked people to invite the servant of the ministry in, Li Jing wanted to see what was important about this servant, he couldn't wait for him to wake up completely, he had to come to see him now!

"Wang Song, the servant of the minister's department, see the regent!"

"What do you have to tell me when you come to see me?"

Li Jing asked.

"Regent, the minister is guilty! The minister has come to plead guilty to the regent!"

"Aiqing, what did you do?"

Li Jing was very puzzled, what crime did this Wang Song commit, he didn't go to the criminal department to surrender, but came to him to ask for the crime, this is treating him here as a yamen!

"Since Lai Junchen came to power, he has forced his ministers to give hundreds of people the rank of ......"

Wang Song told Li Jing all the things that Lai Junchen forced him to do over the years.

Li Jing's face changed greatly after hearing this, accusing Wang Song of how could he ignore the laws of the imperial court, if he played favoritism and cheated and let some people who had no ability be promoted, how harmful it would be to Datang!

Wang Song can only say that he has failed the court and should be punished with death! If he commits a crime alone, at most he will be dealt with, and if he didn't listen to Junchen at the beginning, he would have been exterminated.

After listening to his cry, Li Jing also knew his difficulties, and he was also forced to be helpless, but it was also a fact that he disturbed the law of the court, so Li Jing removed him from his position as a servant of the ministry and demoted him to other places.
