When Xie Tong woke up the next day, the beautiful woman around him had long been gone, and Xie Tong recalled all the absurdities of last night and sighed.

Xie Tong got up and got dressed, ordered his subordinates to prepare breakfast, and after hurriedly eating, he rushed to find Li Jun.

Li Jun surprisingly didn't go out to play, probably because there was an important dinner today, and stayed quietly in the palace.

When Xie Tong saw him, he was sitting on the Taishi chair depressed, and it seemed that he was in a rather unpleasant mood.

Xie Tong said, "Why is Brother Li so sad, isn't there a dinner party today, how can you still have time to stay here."

Li Jun sighed and said, "I don't need to worry about the dinner party, what can go wrong with the arrangement of my father and eldest brother?"

Xie Tong thought that he had been reprimanded by King Huai, and said, "Sometimes, Xie is very envious of Brother Li, Brother Li was born in the royal family, and he has been rich and noble for generations, not only the prince is wise and martial, but also has a brother like Li Xiao to take care of him. Even if you are occasionally scolded by the prince and brother, it is just a love for you. I don't know why Brother Li can't think about it. “

Li Junzai sighed and said, "Brother Xie thinks crookedly, the younger brother is not because of his father and brother, not Brother Xie, the younger brother is worried about the nightingale girl, I only saw her from that day, I was restless every day, and my mind was full of her shadows, hey, the little brother has lovesickness!"

Xie Tong suddenly felt that Li Jun was very interesting, but he didn't expect that this kid was still thinking about the nightingale at this moment, and it was time to burn his eyebrows, and he was still thinking about women, this kid could be single-minded, but with the mystery of the nightingale, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept him.

Xie Tong smiled and said, "Brother Li is really an amorous seed?"

Li Jun looked at Xie Tong and said, "The little brother is serious this time, since he is sensible, it is the first time that he has been sad for a girl." Hey, does Brother Xie understand my feelings?" Without waiting for Xie Tong to answer, he said again, "Xie Tong is a master among the flowers, and he is surrounded by beautiful women, can you give me some advice to the younger brother, the younger brother is grateful."

Xie Tong said, "Let's wait for the dinner! If Xie Tong is still alive, he will teach Brother Li everything!"

Li Jun changed the decadence just now, and said, "Thank you Brother Xie first, and the junior brother wishes Brother Xie a successful dinner."

Xie Tong said in his heart What kind of thing is this, he is going to kill people at night, not to ask for money, if one is not good, his life will be explained.

Li Jun was overjoyed, and then he thought of the important task of Xie Tong's dinner, and knew that he had just said something confused, so he smiled embarrassedly.

Xie Tong likes this young man with royal blood from the bottom of his heart, although he has a noble status, he does not have the innate nobility and arrogance of the royal family, on the contrary, he is very close to the people, although his behavior is more exaggerated and weird, but in general, he is still a young man with flesh and blood.

Xie Tong said, "I haven't consulted Brother Li yet, I don't know where the dinner is?"

Li Jun said happily, "I heard my father say before, it should be in the Lama Temple in Xicheng."

Lama Temple is a dormitory outside the palace city, which was originally built according to the scale of the emperor, but it is rumored that this palace has poor feng shui, which is not conducive to the Tang Empire, so it has not been put into use after completion. But it was not deserted, and there were always guards stationed and responsible for cleaning the palace.

The two chatted in the palace every sentence, and they didn't rush to the Lama Temple until the dinner came.

The scale of the Lama Temple is very large, far stronger than the Wenhua Hall in Yangzhou. By the time they arrived, most of the guests had already arrived.

At this moment, Xie Tong knew that the people who went to the banquet were not only the envoys of the festival and the officials in Beijing, but also the more prominent clan celebrities, obviously this was all Sima Xuan's trick.

Due to Xie Tong's humble status, it was not enough to have a seat on this occasion. had to stand behind Li Jun. But he didn't care, he looked at the people attending the dinner, and suddenly, a person waved his hand at him, and it was Wang Daoxun, the envoy of Hebei Jiedu.

Xie Tong hurriedly walked over, he really wanted to say a lot of things, and even hoped to drag out all the things that had happened in the past few days, including the insidious and vicious of the prince, as well as all kinds of evil deeds against him. But when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed it back, after all, King Huai was the helmsman in Wang Daoxun's heart, and Wang Daoxun's trust in him reached a blind level, otherwise he would not have told so many things before entering the post house. Xie Tong resisted the urge to speak, after all, what he said may not have a good effect, and it may also arouse the vigilance of King Huai. so that it backfires.

Xie Tong tightened his mind and said, "Lord Wang",

Wang Daoxun is still full of energy, obviously the life in the post house these days is not boring.

Wang Daoxun said in a low voice: "Look at your red face." Things should be going very well, and there is no good news. ”

Xie Tong choked his eyebrows and said, "Things are progressing very slowly, and the prince has not assigned me a task."

Wang Daoxun let out an "oh" and said no more.

As more and more people attended, the scene became lively.

Xie Tong looked at the crowd of people coming and going, his heart was full of discomfort, although he had participated in many high-end dinners, he was still not used to this kind of extravagant life. He sighed and said, "Lord Wang, look at the people who attended the dinner, they were either rich or expensive, and the whole banquet was very luxurious, I don't know how much silver it would cost." ”

Wang Daoxun knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Xie Tong, this is the biggest difference between the image of the Hanmen and the clan, it is absolutely impossible for you to let the people of the Hanmen enter such a life, what you can do is to eliminate this invisible boundary." The old man always felt that this dinner party was full of conspiracy, but he couldn't smell where the conspiracy was? In the same way, this dinner party was also inexplicable, not so much because the teacher was unknown, but because he wanted to cover it up, and the enemy must have some plans, and the old man dared to assert that this dinner party must have been made up by the Taiwei and others, but he couldn't guess what effect such a dinner party could play!

Xie Tong listened to Wang Daoxun's words, and muttered in his heart. These two **** were restless, not only indulged in Hong Shan's gentle township, but also were forced to distract by King Huai's poisonous plan to kill people with a knife, so that their minds were not bright. At this moment, when I heard Wang Daoxun's analysis, I realized how wrong I was.

The dinner must have been a signal deliberately made by the Tai Lieutenant, as for what it was, he didn't dare to assert it, but since the other party was in a hurry Zhang Luo's dinner, there must be some plan. Although King Huai is insidious, he is still not sophisticated enough compared to Sima Xuan, so that he can't see through the other party's intentions, he is led by others, and he pretends to be clever to frame the other party, which is really not incomprehensible.

Wang Daoxun saw Xie Tong pondering and asked, "Did the virtuous nephew think of anything crucial?"

Xie Tong came back to his senses and said, "I haven't thought of anything for the time being." He didn't say that King Huai forced him to assassinate Sima Xuan, even if he said it, it would be useless, with Wang Daoxun's loyalty, he would definitely support the prince's idea, and even destroy Xie Tong's plan to get out of the shell.

Wang Daoxun's expression was erratic, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly said, "The old man has a method, and you need to implement it." ”

Xie Tong's eyes lit up, he really wanted to hear Wang Daoxun's opinion, Wang Daoxun had been in the post house for several days, and there must have been no less contact with the envoys of the festival, and he should have unique ideas. Xie Tong showed an expression of eagerness to know.

Wang Daoxun put a wisp of his beard and said with a smile, "In the past few days, the old man has also had a brief contact with the envoys of the festival, and I have more or less understood everyone's views. The clan on the Taiwei side is strong, but after all, everyone is the courtiers of the Tang Empire, and no one wants to be infamous as a traitor, not to mention that the Son of Heaven is still alive now, and one accidentally leaks the news, which is the situation where the head falls to the ground, no one dares to take this risk, except for Zhang Daoqi, the envoy of the Yong'an Festival, and a few others, most of them are in a wait-and-see state, so to speak, the outcome is still unpredictable. The key point is still the attribution of the marshal of the Southern Expedition, and the attribution of the marshal depends on the meaning of the saint. Although the saint was deceived by traitors, he was still an enlightened emperor who knew how to choose generals, and this matter relied not only on the support of everyone, but also on the prestige of one person. The old man has been thinking a lot about it in the past few days in the post house, and it is even more difficult to improve a person's reputation in the short term, but it is easy to destroy a person's reputation. ”

Xie Tong said in his heart that he was really an old fox, and this plan was so damaging that he almost laughed when he heard it. Xie Tong said, "Please also make it clear."

Wang Daoxun smiled and said, "Sima Xuan is like a ghost, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be fooled, we can design to frame Sima Jinyu, Sima Jinyu hastily wraps one, if he can be tempted to lose his mind at the dinner, so that he can do crazy things, it is equivalent to a great loss of face in front of all the guests, so it can greatly damage his image."

Xie Tong said in his heart, this Wang Daoxun will not make a move, and as soon as he makes a move, it is a trick that is completely damaged, and Sima Jinyu has suffered it.

Wang Daoxun said with a smile, "The goal is here, it depends on how you start." With that, he smiled and walked away.

In addition to the envoys from all over the country, there were also representatives of the Chang'an clan who attended the dinner, obviously all invited by Sima Xuan, and King Huai had no right to stop him in this matter.

Xie Tong followed Wang Daoxun's words and looked, only to see Sima Jinyu walking in from outside the hall, he intended to be in front of everyone today, because he was dressed very exquisitely, he was wearing a light cyan Yunjin coat, deerskin boots, a brown black gold hat on his head, and he walked swaggeringly, looking very majestic, but his figure was too thin, so that the Yunjin coat did not reflect the style of a noble young master in him at all.

Also entering the hall is his brother Sima Xiangru, Sima Xiangru is obviously much more low-key, he is dressed in a strong suit, pedaling long leather boots, and his whole body exudes a sense of straightness of a soldier, although the clothes are not very bright, but the atmosphere is far more than Sima Jinyu's.

Everyone greeted the two young masters one after another, Sima Xiangru greeted everyone with a smile, and then stood at the door of the main hall.
