The second prince Li Shouhehe, who had already lifted the grounding, sneered with a lively expression, while the sixth prince Li Ji had a really good look.

Emperor Qianwu did have such a thought.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to announce Li Changfeng's status to everyone, so that his princes would not fight endlessly for the position of crown prince.

He knew that Li Changfeng had never wanted to be the emperor, and he knew that it was useless to persecute him, so he simply used this way to push him up step by step.

Li Changfeng guessed Emperor Qianwu's thoughts, and he was also quite helpless.

I can't eat even if I eat.

He didn't want to make everyone unhappy with Emperor Qianwu during the New Year, so he sighed secretly and said, "Erchen obeys the order!" ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and sat down in the first place under Emperor Qianwu.

Empress Murong watched all this silently, her eyes a little dim.

As soon as Li Changfeng sat down, Emperor Qianwu looked at Li Jianye and said, "Jianye, you also come forward and sit at the bottom of Changfeng." ”

"This ......"

Li Jianye doesn't like fighting, but he is not a fool and knows what Emperor Qianwu's move means.

He stepped forward, which means that Li Chengye has to step back one more, where does this make Li Chengye's face?

Although he also very much supports Li Changfeng to inherit the unification, he also does not like the thoughtful Li Chengye.

But Li Chengye is the elder brother of his mother's compatriot after all, how will their brothers get along in the future?

For a while, Li Jianye didn't know whether to step forward or not.

Emperor Qianwu glanced at him, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

At this time, Li Chengye had already gotten up and left the second seat, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Eleventh Emperor Brother, please." ”

Li Jianye sighed secretly and stepped forward to sit under Li Changfeng.

Emperor Qianwu glanced at Li Chengye and a few people, and said lightly: "You all see the many achievements of Changfeng, he is qualified to sit in the first place, if any of you have the ability than him, you can also sit in the first place." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Jianye: "Jianye, you followed Changfeng to fight in the south and the north, and you made great achievements, and it is natural to sit in the second place." I have high hopes for you, and I will have to study hard with Changfeng in the future. ”

Hearing that the seats were arranged according to merit, Li Jianye suddenly lost his pimple in his heart, snapped a salute, and said in a sonorous tone with a proud face: "Yes, father!" ”

The southern expedition to the barbarians and the northern expedition to the Hu tribe, if you want to talk about military exploits, except for Li Changfeng, he is the biggest, and he thinks he has this qualification.

From this point of view, Li Chengye and others are indeed not qualified to sit in front of him.

But Li Changfeng felt that Emperor Qianwu's mind was not so simple.

Obviously, there is a meaning to train him in the team.

In fact, this was also Emperor Qianwu's helpless move.

He hoped that Li Changfeng would get closer to the ministers of the DPRK and China, especially the young ministers with potential, and he didn't care if they formed gangs.

But Li Changfeng just didn't, what could he do?

I can only push it.

The first thing he thought of was Li Jianye, who had a very good relationship with Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng was quite helpless about this, and secretly said that the food of the emperor's family is really boring, it is better to eat and drink with a few people in the mansion, and you can still play mahjong after you are done.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Emperor Qianwu laughed dryly and said, "Okay, don't be stunned, sit down." ”

Daqian, men are inferior to women, left and right.

The princes sat on the right, and on the left were the concubines and princesses.

Because of Li Changfeng, his mother Concubine Lin also has a very high status in the harem, and she was originally going to sit in the second place.

Seeing Emperor Qianwu's attitude, Empress Murong sighed secretly in her heart, and said to Concubine Lin, who was about to sit down: "Concubine Lin, sit in the first position below, Mingzhu is still young, so let's go with you." ”

"This ...... Not suitable, right? ”

"If this palace says it's suitable, it's suitable, sit down."

After speaking, Empress Murong glanced at Concubine Yue, who had a gloomy face and was originally sitting in the first place.

Concubine Yue barely squeezed out a smile and took a step back: "Sister, please." ”

Concubine Lin was still a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Emperor Qianwu smiled and said: "The queen is the master of the harem, she has said so, you can just sit." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Concubine Lin sat down a little apprehensively.

Li Shou looked like he was watching a play, and said with a smile: "Father, can you have a banquet?" The sons are hungry! ”

Emperor Qianwu laughed and said, "Okay, open the table!" ”

Then they began to eat.

It's just that after what I experienced, the atmosphere was still a little cold, and I could only hear the crackling sound of the dishes and chopsticks.

Li Changfeng immersed himself in cooking, just thinking about ending this banquet and returning home quickly, very low-key.

However, Li Jianye toasted frequently with a wine glass as if nothing had happened, and drank it so happily, gradually enlivening the atmosphere.

After a while, it was time to offer the treasure.

What Li Chengye gave was a piece of jade carved dragon, lifelike and quite imposing, and it was carefully prepared at a glance, and Emperor Qianwu praised it and accepted it.

Li Shou's family was raided, it can be said that he was poor and white, and he had already broken off the idea of competing for the position of the crown prince, which was quite a bit of a broken jar, and gave Emperor Qianwu a landscape painting painted by himself.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qianwu was very satisfied with this gift that was not expensive at all, and praised Li Shou for his filial piety.

The most special gift of Li Jianye was a short blade, which was carefully polished by killing a strange beast with his own hands and removing its fangs when he followed Li Changfeng on his northern expedition.

Emperor Qianwu couldn't put down this gift, and repeatedly held it and watched it, praising it again and again.

Soon, everyone gave the gifts, but Li Changfeng did not move.

People all turned their attention to Li Changfeng.

The others didn't dare to speak, but Li Jianye didn't have any worries, and said in surprise: "I said Brother Jiu, you won't have prepared gifts for your father and mother, right?" Or are you so rich that you plan to send the silver directly? ”

Li Changfeng said a little helplessly: "If you think of it, how cheesy is it to send silver directly?" Naturally, I prepared a gift, but this gift is more special, and I have to get my father's permission to display it. ”

"Brother Jiu, what the hell is it?" Li Jianye looked puzzled.

"Exactly! I'm going to see what it is. Emperor Qianwu said curiously.

Li Changfeng got up and arched his hand towards Emperor Qianwu.

"Father, the sons and daughters are already waiting outside the palace gate with gifts, please give an order to bring them to the square in front of the palace, and also ask the father and the queen to move to the square in front of the palace."

Emperor Qianwu was even more curious: "What is it?" ”

Li Changfeng smiled mysteriously: "There will be no surprises now, you just follow me to see it." ”

"Stinky boy, you're still selling off with me!"

Emperor Qianwu scolded with a smile, asked people to go to deliver the decree, and then took the same curious people to the square in front of the palace.
