Volume 3 Chapter 118 Birthday Feast
After listening to the introduction of the three ancestors of the Kong family to the Hu royal family, Kong Ming finally had a certain understanding of the real situation in the Cangnan Empire.
It is no wonder that the great ancestor of the Confucian family and the three ancestors of the Confucian family unanimously agreed that Kong Ming at this stage should be mainly low-key, and he should not be too rebellious! The reason for this is that the overall strength of the Hu royal family is indeed far beyond the Confucian family, if Kong Ming's anti-heaven performance has aroused the jealousy of the Hu royal family, thus causing internal strife, then it must be the Confucian family who suffers, and it is not conducive to Kong Ming's growth!
Only when Kong Ming is truly strong and has the ability to protect himself can he show his talent in front of the world! At that time, even if there are other powerful forces that are jealous of Kong Ming, they will not be able to deal with Kong Ming.
After discussing matters related to the Hu royal family, the three ancestors of the Kong family talked to Kong Ming about matters related to the birthday banquet. The news that Kong Ming has become the youngest junior general in history has been spread, and holding this birthday banquet will also be Kong Ming's last high-profile appearance in front of people. After holding a birthday banquet, Kong Ming has to believe in the principle of keeping a low profile in everything, and basically will not appear in public. At that time, Kong Ming's existence will be like the previous three princes, and no one will be able to figure out how far his strength has reached!
As for holding this birthday banquet now, it is also a last resort. Otherwise, the Kong family has a genius like Kong Ming, and he has to pretend that he has nothing to do, which will make the outside world pay more attention to Kong Ming!
Of course, the birthday banquet was held on the territory of the Confucian manor, and there was no need to worry that someone would dare to go to the banquet to make trouble, because it was no different from sending him to death. Therefore, this birthday banquet is more like a review of the forces of all parties in the imperial capital, and the relationship between the forces of all parties and the Confucian family can be seen clearly!
At this critical moment when the three princes of the Hu royal family made a high-profile appearance and had a great chance of starting the battle for succession, such a birthday banquet is destined to become the focus of attention of the entire imperial capital!
The fourteenth birthday is not a rite of passage. It's not an important birthday for the whole year, but it can attract the attention of the entire imperial capital, and only Kong Ming can do it!
The three ancestors of the Kong family reassured Kong Ming. When the birthday banquet is held, he and Dazu will take care of it in secret, ensuring that there will be no chaos, and Kong Ming is after the birthday banquet. It is necessary to devote oneself to penance, and only by improving one's own strength as soon as possible is the king!
After Kong Ming thanked the three ancestors of the Kong family, he said goodbye and left, before leaving. He deliberately kept the Yuan Rong crossbow that had reached the quality of the Yuan Soldier's spiritual weapon, also so that the three ancestors of the Kong family could have a better understanding of such a sharp divine weapon!
After Kong Ming left, after pondering for a while, the three ancestors of the Kong family grabbed the Yuan Rong crossbow, directly broke through the space, and went to the peak where the ancestor of the Kong family lived in seclusion. Since Kong Ming has brought another surprise, such news. Naturally, I want Dazu to share it. As for the second and fourth ancestors of the four ancestors of the Confucian family. Now they are in a state of life and death, and I believe that when they get out, there will be more surprises waiting for them......

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day of Kong Ming's birthday banquet. Although the birthday feast is set up at noon, it starts in the morning, in front of the main entrance of the Confucian Manor. It was already a busy traffic, but it was the strength of all parties who came to the banquet. I sent a congratulatory gift.
The Kong family is the number one force in the imperial capital except for the Hu royal family, and now it is time for the relationship between the three princes to compete for succession. No matter what position you stand on, you will take this opportunity to get closer to the Kong family, and it is naturally better to be able to explore the rumors of the Kong family. At least, many of the forces that are still shaking will use the behavior of the Kong family as a weather vane, and some of the forces that have made decisions also hope to influence the Kong family and make them stand in their camp. Even if the Kong family is still the same as in the past, they will not participate in the battle for succession, but at least they must confirm it in person before they can put their minds at ease...,
Therefore, although this birthday banquet is nominally to celebrate Kong Ming's fourteenth birthday, in fact, there are a lot of twists and turns inside, and most people have other purposes!
Of course, no matter what the purpose is, on the surface, it is also to congratulate Kong Ming, and the scale of the guests who came to congratulate each other this time, as well as the grade of the congratulatory gifts, even exceeded the time when the Cao and Liu families got married. And this also proves that the influence of the Confucian family in the imperial capital is indeed incomparable to other forces.
Although the Cao family's name is loud, in the territory of the imperial capital, it is not the same as the Kong family!
By close to noon, the guests from all walks of life who came to the banquet had already arrived one after another, but Kong Ming did not hold it up, and after changing into a new dress, he waited at the main gate of the Kong family manor to welcome the guests.
For some guests from small and medium-sized forces, being able to get Kong Ming's personal welcome made them feel flattered.
With Kong Ming's talent, his future achievements must be limitless, and the good relationship with such a person today is enough to become a proud talking point!
With the passage of time, all parties who received the invitation were powerful, and basically all of them had attended, and even Cao Podi came to congratulate him in person on behalf of the Cao family, and even brought a handwritten letter from the four ancestors of the Cao family to show his "appreciation" of Kong Ming!
Although the Kong and Cao families are world enemies, they have not publicly torn their faces after all, and these superficial courtesies, both of them have done a good job, and they will not leave a handle for others!
The guests are almost there, but Kong Ming sent out invitations, including three extremely important ones, and there is no response at this time!
These three invitations were naturally sent to the three princes!
At the beginning, the third prince Hu Hao expressed his intention to recruit Kong Ming, but Kong Ming handed over the three invitations to Hu Hao in a hurry, and Hu Hao promised on the spot that he and the two imperial brothers would go to the banquet on time, as if he could call the shots.
So now, will the three princes really come together?
It was about to be noon, and there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums in the distance, and then a huge group of people appeared at the main gate of the Confucian manor, and an extremely loud voice came from Tongjin: "Your Highness, Second Highness, and Third Highness have arrived!"
The three princes of the Hu royal family really came together!
