Chapter 1710 Hongmen Banquet

capital.

On the street, after the sword fairy in white and Li Ziye had a big fight, everything was devastated.

The Imperial Army and the officers and soldiers of the Jing Mu Mansion all arrived. Ironically, the two culprits all ran away.

Lu Wentian, who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the world, almost no one can stop him.

And Li Ziye, with the Queen's edict in hand, no one dared to stop him.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army and Jingmu Mansion are all temporary workers cleaning up the mess at this moment.

"What is this!"

A Forbidden Army soldier looked at the messy streets and couldn't help but complain.

They are the forbidden army of Dashan. They are responsible for fighting, not sweeping the streets. Isn’t this overkill!

"Stop nagging and get to work quickly!"

Changsun Fengyu reprimanded and directed the imperial army to clean up the scene.

Even though he is here, he cannot be caught, so he has to do something.

Brother Li will cause trouble for him.

While the soldiers of the Forbidden Army and the officers and soldiers of Jingmu Mansion were busy sweeping the streets.

Outside Zanglu Garden, Li Ziye, who had been late for more than an hour, finally arrived.

"Brother Li."

In front of the Canglu Garden, Mu Bai saw the person coming, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and asked, "Are you not hurt?"

"What do you think?"

Li Ziye pointed to his burnt hair and said with a half-smile, "Your Highness, you shouldn't be waiting here."

"Brother Li said that there are many things in this world that should not be done."

Mu Bai said calmly, "Let's go, Queen Mother and the others are waiting impatiently."

"Your Highness, you are now the supervisor of Dashang, so you must understand your position clearly."

Li Ziye reminded, "Now, there is only one last step left before you reach that position. Don't make a mistake at this time."

"What do you mean?" Mu Bai stopped and asked in confusion.

"The Li family is so powerful that it must be restricted."

Li Ziye replied seriously, "This is the attitude that His Highness must show. Otherwise, the royal family will not trust His Highness to take that position. Supervising the country is a big test for His Highness."

"I don't like it," Mu Bai responded.

"There are many things you don't like."

Li Ziye said calmly, "How can everything go as planned? Wherever you are, what you do, this is your responsibility."

"Master told me that I have to follow my own heart so that I won't regret it," Mu Bai retorted.

"Intentions?"

Li Ziye mocked unceremoniously, "Your Highness, you can ask the common people outside the palace who don't have enough to eat. What is the true intention? Having enough food is the true intention. Responsibility and ideals do not conflict. The choice of the Three-foot Sword

I have always felt that joining the royal family was not a mistake. None of the martial kings in Dashang were working for the court. The fault of the Three-foot Sword was not that he made the wrong choice, but that he was afraid, looked forward and backward, and lost his former vigor."

After hearing the former's words, Mu Bai frowned slightly, then smiled softly for a long time and said, "If I follow what Brother Li said and deal with the Li family from the position of the royal family, wouldn't it be even more troublesome for the Li family?"

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Are you not awake?"

Li Ziye responded with a shocked look on his face, "I dare not say anything else. I will give you eight hundred thoughts about conspiracy and calculation."

"Oh."

Mu Bai smiled lightly, said nothing more, and continued walking towards the Hidden Heron Garden.

Li Ziye stepped forward to follow. On the way, he adjusted his clothes and hair a little to make himself look less embarrassed.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the banquet together.

Queen Changsun and others saw the two coming together, and their expressions were different.

"The Queen."

Between the two rows of seats, Li Ziye bowed his hands in a respectful salute and apologized, "I was blocked by the Sword Immortal in White on the way, which delayed me for a long time. I hope you will forgive me."

"Professor Li, there is no need to blame yourself. Everything happened for a reason, and I can understand it."

Empress Changsun said in a gentle tone, "Master Li, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Queen."

Li Ziye responded and immediately walked to a seat next to him and sat down.

There was only one person sitting in the huge row of seats, which seemed so abrupt.

No one expected that only one person from the Li family would come to such an important negotiation.

In the seats opposite, the members of the royal family headed by King Wu'an didn't look very good when they saw the Li family's legitimate son coming alone in front of them.

With so many people from the royal family coming, it was supposed to be a tit-for-tat war of words, but I didn't expect that the Li family would pay such little attention.

It was like a punch that had been stored for a long time and hit cotton, making people feel indescribably uncomfortable.

"Mother."

Next to the main seat, Mu Bai walked back, bowed respectfully, and then returned to his seat.

"Brother."

On the side, Murong lowered his voice and said, "Are you planning to make the princes angry to death? As a prince, you go to greet the son of a merchant. You see, the faces of the emperor and the others are almost turning green."

"Brother Li is a national scholar and should be treated with courtesy." Mu Bai responded calmly.

When Murong heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

There are many scholars in the country, but few can really be treated with courtesy by the royal family.

If you say it sounds good, you are a national scholar; if you say it doesn't sound good, it is just an illusory hope and name given by the royal family to scholars all over the world.

"Professor Li, are you not injured?"

At the main seat, Queen Changsun saw that the atmosphere of the banquet was a bit solemn, so she took the initiative to speak and asked with concern.

"Replying to your Majesty, it's just some minor injuries."

Li Ziye sat in the banquet and responded, "Thanks to the crown prince arriving in time with the imperial army, otherwise, the common people would not only be slightly injured this time."

"The swordsman in white has violated the laws of the Great Shang Dynasty by using force to break the ban."

Empress Changsun said sternly, "The imperial court will definitely seek justice for Li Jiaoxi in this matter."

"Thank you, Queen." Li Ziye cupped his fists and thanked her.

"Professor Li."

Opposite the seats, Mu Wuan looked at the legitimate son of the Li family sitting in the opposite seat. He couldn't bear it any longer. He was the first to attack and asked, "Today's banquet is so important. Only Professor Li from the Li family is attending. Isn't it too rude?"

"I don't understand what King Wu'an said."

Li Ziye responded with a smile on his face, "Whether you take it seriously or not has nothing to do with how many people come. To put it bluntly, if the Queen and the Fourth Highness do not attend today, even if King Wu'an and all the princes come here at once.

There are many people, who can make the decision?"

"presumptuous!"

Mu Wu'an's expression changed and he started to slap the case, his anger uncontrollable.

"Uncle Sixth Emperor!"

Mu Bai's eyes turned cold and he said, "Don't be rude."

After finishing speaking, Mu Bai looked at his friends in the seat and reminded him calmly, "Li Jiaoxi, before you made a request for the imperial court to confer the title of Imperial Merchant to the Li family, I can agree on behalf of the royal family. However, in exchange, from now on

From now on, the Li family must hand over 30% of the profits from all businesses to the royal family."

"Thirty percent?"

Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly, this grandson is really good at speaking like a lion, why don't you give up ten percent?

However, this is what it looks like to supervise the country.

At the main seat, Queen Changsun showed a look of relief on her face when she heard the conditions proposed by her son.

Cruel enough.
