Chapter 16: The Family Feast

At night, Zhenlong Mansion is particularly lively, after all, the family banquet in Zhenlong Mansion can only be held once a year.

This time, he even invited the prince, the national teacher, and the three high-level officials, just to prove that there are only these six princes and three princesses in Zhenlong Mansion.

Wow......

Of the six sons of the Li family, there is only one civil official, that is, the squire of the Criminal Department, and the eldest son of the Li family, Li Jianghuai, at this time, the six men led by him entered the Zhenlong Mansion.

Li Chen, the second eldest of the Li family, Li Qianzhao, the third Li Qianzhao, the fourth Li Kun, the fifth Li Mufeng, and the sixth Li Qingyuan, these five people are all thousands of commanders and even ten thousand commanders in the army, controlling the three iron-blooded elite armies in the army.

The six of them rushed in, all of them were like rainbows, they didn't seem to be mortals, they must have practiced powerful secret techniques, and they were all secret techniques of Wangxian Gate, obviously except for Li Qianqiu, Li Pilgrim handed over his life's mastery to his six sons.

Li Pilgrim's idea is very simple, Li Qianqiu is here to repay his debts, and he wants to cultivate better secret arts, and in the future, he will walk out of Beigong Xing, step into the universe and find true immortality.

Prince Longdi, National Teacher Yun Zhongxiao, Guogong Zhang Zhiming, the three of them also entered the Zhenlong Mansion under the protection of a large number of masters, although His Majesty now suspected that Li Pilgrim would control the military power and play with the imperial power, but now there is no way.

The three bigwigs participated in the family banquet, not only did not feel condescending, but felt more face-saving.

There are not many people who can get Li Pilgrimage's approval, Long Di is one, as for the two national teachers and Guogong, one is His Majesty's own brother, and the other is Long Di's uncle, it can't be done if they don't make friends, not to mention that tonight is not only to prove that Li Qianqiu is not his son, but also to discuss the matter of the northern demon cultivators harassing the border of the Kowloon Empire.

Soon, everyone gathered together, and the three county lords of the Li family also sat down.

The crown prince is the first on the left, the first on the right is the national teacher, the second on the left is the national prince, and the six sons sit separately.

The main seat is Li Pilgrimage, even if His Majesty is here, he is qualified to sit on an equal footing with him, let alone the crown prince Longdi.

Li Zhaosheng got straight to the point and said in a deep voice, "This time the old man invited you to attend the family banquet, on the one hand, it is to talk about the feelings, and on the other hand, I want to talk about the turmoil in the northern demon cultivation and the instigation of the herdsmen to make a rebellion, but they have not yet attacked with great fanfare, so it is not good to directly inform Your Majesty in front of the hundred officials, Prince Longdi, this time you can give Your Majesty a breath after you go back, and see what Your Majesty means, you can also give me an idea." ”

Yun Zhongxiao and Zhang Zhiming were silent for a long time and did not speak, both of them were treacherous and cunning people, and they knew that Li Zhaosheng also wanted to probe their tone, and wanted to determine whether the two were the main battle faction or the peace faction.

Yun Zhongxiao and Zhang Zhiming are both Li Chaosheng's in-laws, the eldest and second county lords of the Li family are married to Fang Zhongxiao and Zhang Zhiming's youngest sons respectively, and the third county lord is the wife of the crown prince Long Di, which is one of the reasons why the three of them are invited to the family banquet.

However, most of Yun Zhongxiao and Zhang Zhiming's political views are different from Li Pilgrimage, and they will even fight in the court, the reason why they dare is because His Majesty will suppress Li Pilgrimage, but at the family banquet, the two dare not talk nonsense.

"It's all a family, there's no need to be restrained, and if I don't want to listen to your true thoughts, there's no need to invite you. Li Pilgrim stared at everyone and said in a deep voice.

At this time, Long Di got up and said, "Father-in-law, the child said bluntly, this battle, His Majesty the Father and Emperor are not willing to fight, the last big war was fought all over the world, and the blood flowed like a river, the Kowloon Empire has not slowed down until now, and if it continues to fight, the people will not be able to make a living, and the empire will even fall apart, please think twice." ”

Long Di thinks about all living beings in the world, and does not want to fight, he himself is also gentle and kind, not a great achievement, but hopes to be able to cultivate for a hundred years, cultivate and recuperate, and fight for the time for the people of Li to settle down.

"Li Shuai, the old man thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince's idea is not wrong, Your Majesty should think the same way, now the enemies of the Nine Dragons Empire are not those hateful herdsmen, but those ghost cultivators, demon cultivators and demon cultivators, they all want to occupy the orthodox blessed land of Beigong Xing, they are cultivators, they are subject to the laws of heaven, they can't directly make trouble, otherwise they will be punished by heaven, but they can support the herdsmen and the following cannon fodder attacks, even so, our Kowloon Empire can't bear it. The national teacher Fang Zhongxiao reminded in a deep voice.

Li Pilgrim leaned back in a chair, closed his eyes to recuperate, his eyebrows tightened, and his heart was very bored.

"War, I don't want to fight, and I don't want to see my people, soldiers and other heavy casualties, but sometimes if you don't beat the enemy, they won't stop harassing the border, my Kowloon Empire has lost a lot of territory over the years, and if it goes on like this, within a hundred years, the eighteen cities of Beiyou will have to be handed over!"

Li Zhaosheng saw that the three bigwigs in the DPRK and China were unwilling to go to war, and couldn't help but sigh loudly.

Ay......

Long Di sighed, his face was majestic, and the dragon power on his body was strong, he must be the emperor of the next generation, the heavenly power gathered, there was no coercion, and the momentum of the true dragon shook slightly, which actually shocked the six sons of the Li family, who were also cultivators.

"Father-in-law, what you said is not what a child thinks, but those cannon fodder and herdsmen can't control their own will at all, they may have a way to survive when they attack, and if they don't attack, they are a dead end, and our counterattack is a dead end, but there is a way to survive in defense and deterrence, so at this time I suggest focusing on deterrence, rather than a decisive battle. Long Di said in a condensed voice.

The eldest son, Li Jianghuai, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, looks like he is twenty-eight or nineteen years old, not like a person in the army at all, but more like a cultivator, wearing a green shirt, luxurious and delicate, at this time slowly raised his hand and said, "Dad, I agree with the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, and you have been focusing on mundane affairs in the army for many years, and you do not understand the internal situation of the empire. ”

Li Chen, Li Qianzhao, Li Kun and others all served in the army, they only knew how to fight and fight, but they didn't know anything about the interior.

Li Pilgrim lay on his chair without saying a word, constantly exhaling turbidity.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to fight, on the one hand, the financial situation is urgent, and on the other hand, the military and government are dominated by my family, hey, ......," Li Pilgrim said to himself.

There was a dead silence in the hall, but outside the hall, Lin Shaoping's henchmen hid in the void and secretly wrote down the discussions in the hall one by one.

"In my life, all dedicated to the Kowloon Empire, for the sake of the people of Li, even did not hesitate to rebel from Wangxianmen, gave up the easy life, six sons and three daughters in my life are also dedicated to the country, please go back and discuss with Your Majesty, the old man always feels that it should be stronger, so as to deter, otherwise they will only gain an inch, thinking that we have no strength to fight again, and at that time they will be dispatched with the whole army, and we will be more passive. Li Pilgrim said in a condensed voice.

Long Di immediately got up and replied, "Father-in-law's loyalty, heaven and earth can be learned, no one doubts, and my father has no doubt about it, and I ask my father-in-law not to worry too much, we focus more on the people being able to live and work in peace and contentment, and recuperate." ”
