Chapter 244: On the way to the banquet, I met the two kings.

According to history, Li Zhi was the only prince who was personally raised by Li Shimin, and until Li Zhi became the prince, he always lived in the Lizheng Palace.

It's just that because of a rat feces Li Shen, he disrupted the trajectory of history and saved the eldest grandson queen at the node.

Because the eldest grandson queen did not die, Li Zhi was not raised by Li Shimin in the Lizheng Palace like history, but Li Shimin's love for Li Zhi was no less than Li Tai.

The Jin Palace, which Li Shimin placed for Li Zhi, is located in Chang'an Ningfang, covering an area of nearly 300 acres.

You must know that the entire Baoning Fang is only more than 400 acres in total, and Li Zhi's Jin Wangfu almost occupies a square of land.

Because in addition to his Jin Palace, the rest is the temple and Taoism.

And Li Tai's palace is only half a square.

As for Li Shen's fifty acres, he didn't mention it, and he bought the land by himself. Or sometimes the more Li Shen thinks about it, the more angry he becomes.

This time, Li Zhi added a new ding to the royal family, which was quite happy for Li Shimin.

What he is most afraid of is that his branch is not prosperous, Li Chengqian has only given birth to two sons until now, and Li Tai has only one son.

The rest are in the fiefdom, and it can be said that he has never seen what his grandson looks like.

And this year is indeed a bad year for Li Shimin, Wei Zheng is dead, and his son has rebelled. Finally, there was a happy event, can Li Shimin not be happy?

Li Zhi sent someone to send an invitation, and he was going to have a banquet in a few days. Li Shimin said that he would be present in person, but in fact, this is to support his son.

Li Shimin has gone, please whoever dares not to go.

And another thing is that Li Zhi borrowed the chef of the flavor restaurant from Li Shen, saying that Li Shen's chef cooks well and can satisfy everyone.

Li Shen happily agreed, and asked the chef of the flavor hall to go to the Jin Wangfu early.

In fact, the most puzzling thing for Li Shen was why Li Zhi had to do such a big job this time.

Li Zhi's son is called Li Zhong, who is only the eldest son but not the eldest son, and belongs to the concubine. It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case in this era.

But thinking about it, the gift still has to be prepared, Li Shen ordered people to create ten longevity locks, and whoever has a child in the future will have to prepare it specially.

A few days later, it was the day of Li Zhi's banquet, and today's Jin Wangfu was very lively, with colorful lights and joy.

The officials above the fifth grade in Chang'an City all received Li Zhi's invitation, so from the morning onwards, some lower-grade officials arrived one after another.

They must come early and send congratulatory gifts, although Li Zhi got a concubine this time, but Li Shimin attaches great importance to it, so the other ministers will not dare to slack off.

There are not many princes left in Chang'an, and Li Shen is young (not counting in the palace), so seeing that the time is almost up, he also got up and went to the Jin Palace.

Coincidentally, I met Li Chengqian and Li Tai's team.

"I've seen the eldest brother, the fourth brother."

Li Shen sat in the carriage and saluted the two from the window of the carriage.

"Old ten, you're late this time." Li Tai replied,

Recently, Li Tai has been very peaceful, which makes Li Shen a little unaccustomed.

"The fourth brother laughed, I have something to do in this house, and I have just finished busy, but the fourth brother is you, why didn't you go to help the ninth brother receive guests earlier?" Li Shen replied with a smile.

"He also uses me to help, and there are twice as many people in his house as there are in my house. We don't have to worry about it. Li Tai's words were somewhat jealous.

Li Shimin's mansion for Li Zhi was half larger than his, and his subordinates were twice as large as him. He has always felt that he is Li Shimin's little baby, but he was suddenly favored, and he felt envious, jealous and hateful.

"Qingque, the pheasant slave is still young, and he needs to be taken care of, don't worry about these as a brother." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he got out of the carriage.

"It's not far away, let's go over with our three brothers."

After hearing this, Li Shen also got out of the carriage, Li Tai was too fat, he actually didn't want to walk, but Li Chengqian got off the car, and it was a bit rude for him to take the car, so he reluctantly got out of the car.

"Fourth brother, you are good, your house is more than 200 acres, and there are many maidservant eunuchs, you look at my Ji Wang's Mansion, which covers an area of only fifty acres, or I bought it with my own money, and there are only twenty or thirty people in total. Be content with that. ”

Li Shen looked at the jealous little fat man, and his heart was even more unbalanced, you are all not satisfied with what you give for nothing.

"Old ten, what you said is not right, you are already good, except for the eldest brother, have you ever seen a prince who can go out with more than a hundred well-equipped guards and run around Chang'an City casually. Behind them are crossbows.

And the 3,000 well-equipped palace guards, crossbowmen, cavalry, swords and shields you raised outside the city. What prince have you ever seen that can have three thousand elites outside the capital.

Are you a guard? You are an army, I think the combat power of your guards should be stronger than the eldest brother's crown prince. What are you still wronged here? Li Tai expressed dissatisfaction with Li Shen's grievances.

This person can't see others as better than himself, but he is willing to listen to others' bad lives.

Li Tai's words made Li Shen's mood a lot better, and he was also interested in which prince could feed three thousand elite soldiers outside the capital.

Li Shen is the only one, but when he thinks that these 3,000 people need hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, he feels distressed.

"Okay, don't compare with each other, which of you is not better than the eldest brother. In the past few years, if it weren't for Lao Shi's occasional help, the East Palace would be about to eat. Li Chengqian on the side was even more depressed.

In the past, there was nothing to say about the internal treasury when there was no money, but now the internal treasury is richer than the national treasury, and Li Shimin still let him live a tight life.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shen and Li Tai's expressions immediately became less depressed, and they sighed at the same time, expressing their sympathy for Li Chengqian.

This made Li Chengqian extremely depressed, it was better to let these two guys compare miserably.

The three brothers just walked and talked, which made outsiders seem very warm and harmonious.

The steward of the Jin Palace, who was far away, saw the third brother coming over, and hurriedly sent someone inside to report the news, and the ordinary officials didn't need Li Zhi to greet him personally.

"Big brother, fourth brother, tenth brother, how did you meet together, did you come together?" Li Zhi was puzzled when their brothers were so harmonious.

"Hehe, pheasant slave, we also met halfway, someone came" Li Chengqian said, and a eunuch took out a gift later.

"Thank you, big brother," Li Zhi said with a smile, and the housekeeper next to him hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

"Pheasant slave, you have grown up, now you have a queen, you are no longer the little doll who runs behind the eldest brother, the eldest brother is very happy." Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhi with emotion.

The little kid who used to be has grown up and is married and has children.

"Yes, the crying doll at the beginning is now married and has children, and life flies so fast." Li Tai also sighed beside him.

"Fourth brother, don't say it." Li Zhi was a little embarrassed.

"The fourth brother is poor, unlike some people, it's a little interesting, take it." After Li Tai finished speaking, the subordinates behind him also came up with gifts.
