Li Ke rubbed his temples with a headache, sighed and said seriously.
"Brother Chu Bi, I think this is too inappropriate. After all, the Cheng family restaurant is the property of your old Cheng family.
After all, it seems inappropriate to mix it into our Han and Tang trading houses. By the way, don’t our Luzhou Liquor Industry have three of the most famous wines?”
"The Han and Tang Commercial Banks were relegated to Immortals and Druid Bridge. Wouldn't it be named this way to make it more stylish and better able to promote the products of our Han and Tang Commercial Banks?"
Cheng Chubi glanced at Li Ke somewhat unhappily, but what Li Ke said was somewhat true. The Cheng family restaurant was the property of the old Cheng family.
In line with the principle of fairness, justice and openness, Cheng Sanlang, the bottom-line CEO of Hantang Commercial Bank, angrily agreed to Li Ke's suggestion.
Li Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Brother Chu Bi's lazy and lifeless appearance, he thought of a good way to inspire Brother Chu Bi's fighting spirit.
"By the way, brother Chu Bi, it won't be long before it's my seventeenth sister's birthday."
After hearing Li Ke's words, Cheng Chubi suddenly became energetic, rubbed his hands uncontrollably, and turned to look at the palace behind him.
When I think about how many years have passed since I traveled to the present day, I have never even had the opportunity to lie side by side on the bed with a woman.
If you practice boy kung fu by yourself, you will definitely become a master.
"Yes, your sister is finally getting haircut, and as a brother, I am finally getting a wife."
"Then I will first congratulate Brother Chu Bi in advance. From now on, I will call you brother-in-law."
Seeing His Highness the King of Wu smiling cheaply and taking advantage of his words, Cheng Chubi slapped this pretty boy on the shoulder who would surely have many children in the future.
"That's no problem. Anyway, we two brothers can work on our own things."
After hearing what Brother Chu Bi said, Li Ke was really unhappy.
"What do you mean, everyone has his own agenda? If you marry my sister, you are naturally my brother-in-law. Can you still be my brother-in-law?"
"Haha, if your sister hears this, you will suffer..."
A group of warriors from the Tang Dynasty who were guarding the entrance of the palace looked at these two famous young talents from the Tang Dynasty who were spitting at each other with dark expressions on their faces.
It wasn't until they were getting further and further away that they secretly shook their heads and thought that His Highness King Wu would forget about it. Cheng Sanlang simply regarded the palace as his own backyard, going in and out all day long.
If anyone else wants to see His Majesty, they must report first. If they have urgent business, they can go in directly accompanied by the eunuch in the palace.
And Cheng Sanlang has already broken such rules. You don't know whether he is okay all day long, and others just get in.
At the beginning, the imperial guards and eunuchs who guarded the gate all followed the procedures honestly. As time went by, everyone became more and more numb.
When he arrived, he could at most check to see if he had brought any dangerous items, such as the square bamboo firecrackers that this guy always liked to carry with him. Other than that, he could only go as he pleased.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Li Simo that spies from Huihe, Beyegu, Adi, Tongluo and other tribes have been patrolling the north bank of the Yellow River.
The spies he sent out came back with news that the coalition forces led by Dadu She did not leave, but moved to Dingxiang City.
It seems that this time Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Yinan really wants to wipe out all the Eastern Turks before they give up."
Li Shimin looked at the huge sand table in the side hall of Wu'an Palace with a gloomy face. At this moment, it was on top of the huge sand table.
The large territory that originally belonged to the Eastern Turks has now been occupied by Xue Yantuo, and a large number of tribes have submitted to Xue Yantuo's command.
The remnants of the Eastern Turks represented by Li Simo could only huddle on the south bank of the Yellow River and around Shuozhou, waiting for reinforcements.
Fortunately, there were frequent heavy snowfalls this year, and Dadu Shi had no plans to forcibly cross the Yellow River. This allowed the remnants of the East Turks to survive.
Li Shimin had already sent envoys to mediate the war between the two sides, and sent envoys to find Dadu She and ask the other party to return to the grassland area designated by the Tang Dynasty.
However, Dadu She not only ignored it, but even drove the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty out of Dingxiang City.
And the envoy brought back the answer from Zhenzhu Yinan, the leader of Xue Yantuo.
Zhenzhu Yinan is still willing to respect Datang as his suzerain, and Xue Yantuo is still a vassal of Datang. However, on the grassland, strength is respected.
The Turks no longer have the ability to occupy that fertile grassland, so that huge grassland should belong to the grassland tribes.
Although Zhenzhu Yinan's tone was very respectful, the toughness and ambition revealed there made Li Shimin feel extremely evil.
Li Daozong, the famous general of the Tang clan, was standing in front of the sand table with a very heavy expression on his face.
"As spring warms and flowers bloom, the ice and snow on the northern plains have begun to thaw. Xue Yantuo will inevitably continue to invade the south. If we, the Tang Dynasty, do not send troops to help.
It is very possible that Li Simo and other Turkic remnants may not be able to survive even this year."
"Your Majesty, if Xue Yantuo is allowed to attack the remnants of the Turks, the remaining Turks will be pacified by Xue Yantuo.
Then Xue Yantuo will really replace the Turks. At that time, the unified grassland will not be a good thing for our Tang Dynasty.
I am willing to lead the army to attack Xue Yantuo..."
"Your Majesty, I think it is better for the King of Jiangxia to take action to deal with those unscrupulous people in Xue Yanyuan. It is better for me to lead the army..."
"His Majesty……"
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw these people's eyes gleaming one by one and the impatient military officials.
"Stop, stop for a moment, let me think about it carefully..."
After a group of military officials gradually settled down, Li Shimin glanced at a group of famous generals, glanced at the King of Jiangxia, thought for a while, and then glanced at brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun.
There was also Cheng Yaojin, whose eyes finally fell on Li Ji, who had been summoned back to Luoyang, the eastern capital, from Chang'an to discuss matters.
"Please tell me what you think."
Li Ji stepped out from the crowd, bowed to Li Shimin, twirled his long beard, and his eyes were shining brightly, speaking confidently.
"Your Majesty, I believe that our country, the Tang Dynasty, must win a great victory in this battle in order to end the troubles in the north."
"Because Guanzhong is increasingly short of food, it is best to win this battle quickly and defeat the enemy outside the country..."
"Furthermore, Xue Yantuo's main force this time is still in the north, and those who attacked the Eastern Turkic tribes were mainly the Uighur, Beyegu, Adi, Tongluo, Pugu, and Ping tribes."
"So I thought that I should divide my troops and attack them, so that the people of all the grassland tribes are panicked, and they can't work together..."
Li Ji is indeed an old and sinister man. His idea is that it is best for the Tang Dynasty to send troops in multiple directions, and each route does not need too many troops.
And what they want to do is not to go to a meeting place and confront the enemy's main force face to face.
