The emperor was in great funeral and Luoyang implemented a curfew. In the night sky, several knights escorted a carriage with lanterns to drive through the open long street, stopped in front of the Liangwang Mansion, mottled stone lions and big red lanterns hanging high.

Geng Qing got out of the car and walked up the stone steps with Jiuyu. He was greeted by the manager waiting at the door. He must have been advised by the master before.

"Shangshu Ling, please come here." The old manager took a step back and led the way around the Feng Shui wall. From far and near, you could hear the noise of the middle hall meeting in the front yard.

The lanterns swayed under the eaves, and the beautiful maids walked through the light and entered the middle hall with their dishes, putting them on one by one.

"King Liang, Shangshu Ling is here."

The guard at the door saw the figure walking towards the path ahead, turned around and bowed in to give in. The originally noisy central hall gradually became quiet. Zhu Wen, the first person, was talking to the following officials in the middle. When he heard the words, he put down the teacup and waved his hand.

"Go and bring my brother in to the seat."

Over there, the guards came forward to greet him, "Shangshu Ling, please come inside."

Geng Qing nodded to him, and walked straight across the threshold with Jiuyu. The light fell on his dark face for a moment. The next moment, he smiled, raised his sleeves, bowed his hand to congratulate the officials he knew and did not know.

Jiuyu, who was following behind, rolled her eyes and acted in a show. Geng Qing used the perfect way to make a group of Chinese court officials who attended the banquet relieved the embarrassment in just a few words, and they also smiled and bowed to him.

Zhu Wen, the first leader, was most satisfied with this. He asked some Chinese and Chinese military officials to come to the banquet, intending to divide the forces in the court and the opposition of the new king, so that Geng Qing could travel to the mansion together, and also wanted to use the other party's hands to activate the atmosphere.

"Brother!"

Geng Qing came to the front of the first place and bowed respectfully in front of the people around him. He was not a fool and was invited to come over. On the way, he probably guessed what the King of Liang needed him to do, and he had to make enough face for the other party. Anyway, there would be something to ask for it later.

When Geng Qing was a salesperson, he didn't know what face was. As long as he could make enough profit, it would be all about whether the thing was necessary or not.

"I'm waiting for you, is the carriage bad? Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to send you a good one from the house." Zhu Wen's eyes looked at the expressions of the people around him, and he was very comfortable holding Geng Qing's shoulders, walked side by side to the table, and waved his hand to let everyone sit together.

However, everyone did not move. After the Liang King and the Minister of Minister Ling took their seats, they sat down one by one.

The chopsticks were placed next to the bowl, and Zhu Wen didn't want to move. People around him dared not reach out. After a while, Zhu Wen smiled and said, "I asked you to wait here. In fact, there is nothing important. You are tired from Chang'an to Luoyang, and you will sleep in the wind and eat in the open. You will have a banquet to improve your food and contact your relationship."

Geng Qing pursed his lips and just stared at the bowl. When the leader spoke, he had to listen to the opposite side, saying that there was nothing important, so there must be something important to say later.

Sure enough, after saying a few polite words, Zhu Wen asked everyone to pick up the chopsticks to eat and drink, picked up a piece of fat meat and threw it into his mouth, and held the chopsticks and raised it generously.

"The chef was called from a famous restaurant in Luoyang. Everyone let go of their stomachs and eat. If it is not enough, let the kitchen make some."

"Enough is enough." Everyone responded quickly.

"What enough is it, it's all seven-foot-foot men. How can you say this little thing? Alas, Zhu is still worried that there is not enough food to send to the palace. Guards, eunuchs, and queens, she is too sad and has no physical strength. Alas, after all, she is also a woman. Suddenly she has no man to rely on, and it will be very hard in the future."

Zhu Wen said this and his tone paused.

"...... I cried after losing my husband, and the country will have no support in the future. You can say something openly. The country cannot be without a king for a day, especially in the current world. If there is no emperor in charge, how can I pacify the unjust ministers and let Xiaoxiao cause chaos, Jiuzhou will fall apart. Some time ago, Zhu also received a report that after Li Keyong got Youzhou, he colluded with the Khitan, and wanted to be ill-behaved. Although he was the governor of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and the King of Jin in the Tang Dynasty, he was also a Hu person after all. His heart would be different. As a senior official in the court, he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible."

The tables in the hall were quiet, no one dared to express his opinion, and they were all silently picking up food and drinking.

Geng Qing saw it and knew it was time for him to blush. He gently put down his chopsticks, "What King Liang said is wrong!"

A sudden sentence made Zhu Wen stunned for a moment. He looked at Geng Qing, his eyes glared, and he quickly turned, signaled his eyes to him, stammering, as if saying: What a big deal, I asked you to make a comeback!

Geng Qing smiled and ignored him, looked at the officials at the table, then stood up and left.

"I will say that King Liang is not bad, why did Li Keyong collude with the Khitan? It is clear that the Hu people united with the Hu people and formed their own family. What does it have to do with us Han people? It can be seen that the Han people are a bit threatening. For example, the Five Barbarians turmoil in our Central Plains and the Shenzhou has sunk. This situation cannot be reproduced."

Zhu Wen exhaled secretly and praised Geng Qing with a thumbs up under the table.

In the hall, Geng Qing walked among the tables and continued to say:

"...The wise and wise ruler of the King of Liang, who can discover clues, is to make a long-term plan for the Tang Dynasty. It is indeed necessary to establish a new king at present to meet the unexpected situation in the future."

The figure stopped and bowed to King Liang Zhu Wen: "Qing, thank King Liang. I hope King Liang will lead our Chinese civil and military officials to recover the nine states and reign to China."

The following sentence only didn't mention the word "官网" which made Zhu Wen's face almost laugh. He nodded and glanced at everyone. Those who could invite him were mostly able to speak in the court and had some connections.

"Your Majesty is newly destroyed, the country will continue, and the people will still live. No matter how the court argues, you, I and other ministers will agree on the opinions of the new emperor. As for whom, they should be the descendants of the late emperor. However, when the late emperor was defeated and left Huazhou, many of his descendants suffered disasters. Six people have left. Now only the crown prince Li Yu, King Di Li Xu, King Qian Li Xu, King Yi Li Xu..., etc., can you have a favorite choice?"

Geng Qing turned around: "King Liang is in charge of the overall situation, who is the one who King Liang wants?"

"Haha... Zhu is interested in the Ninth King Li Qi. Although he is young, he is very heroic in his eyebrows. He is the appearance of a king. What do you think?"

Zhu Wen smiled and took a sip of wine, said lightly, glanced around, and everyone was silent for a moment in the lights, and they were all together.

"We are in accordance with King Liang's wishes."

"Haha, haha!" Zhu Wen nodded and praised, put the cups on the table. Outside the central hall, there was a faint sound of footsteps, and the sound of weapons colliding quickly dissipated.

"Since you agree with Mr. Zhu, you will make a decision. I will go to the court tomorrow to discuss it. Okay, I will have a banquet tonight. Don't waste it because of the discussion. Keep eating and drinking, and leave after eating!"

Immediately, he waved his hand and called Geng Qing to go outside. When he arrived at a place where there were few people, he pushed Geng Qing with his elbow, "If it weren't for Ji Chang tonight, I would have to let these people see blood. Your trick is really comfortable."

"Just save people from danger, how can Qing not do it with all his heart?"

"Ha ha."

Zhu Wen felt happy today. He was bored in the banquet in the front yard. He pulled Geng Qing to the side wing and quietly called his daughter-in-law to drink and have fun.

Wang and Zhang had actually heard the movement and waited for a long time, and came as soon as they called them. Especially when they knew what happened in the middle hall, Li Xinjun had his father-in-law to make the decision, so he naturally cursed him in every way. However, Wang was beautiful and had a great figure. He was most loved by Zhu Wen. When he was drunk, he took Wang to the back hall.

"Shangshu Ling, today I am in the middle hall and my father-in-law's court... I heard it."

Zhang also served Geng Qing in the past, but there was no relationship. She did this mostly for her husband to do something in the future.

His fingers gently stroked Geng Qing's chest.

"...... My husband is just a soft boy... I am often ridden by Zhu Youwen, and Wang is born beautiful, so I can't compare with her... Only in bed can I compete with her and not be disliked by my father-in-law. Shangshu Ling also knows... My husband is the biological son... But my father-in-law obviously likes an adopted son, more than his own son. How can there be such a truth in the world? Shangshu Ling, do you think so?"

Good guy, one night banquet also involved another emperor's affairs.

Zhu Wen didn't want to be the emperor, so Geng Qing would definitely not believe it... Looking at Zhang, who was almost leaning over, touched the other person's shoulders, and pondered for a moment.

"This is the family affairs of King Liang, and I can't help you."

"Shangshu Ling... If you help, I can go to your house later..." Zhang put his hands on Geng Qing's shoulders, lay in his ears and exhaled like orchids, and then... he was politely pushed back by Geng Qing.

"Let's talk about it... I'm taking care of myself recently, so it's not convenient to have fun."

Holding Zhang's resentful gaze, Geng Qing drank a few glasses of wine, pulled the other party into his arms and kneaded it for a few more times, and whispered: "How can these things be said like this? I'll have time to talk about it later."

Some things cannot be said to die, especially in women. After all, in some stories, women have many bad things. Geng Qing doesn't want to plant the root of the disaster because he refuses a woman.

After teasing the other person for a few times, Zhang's eyebrows and smiled.

.........

Late at night, after Zhu Wen rubbed the hem from the back hall, Geng Qing had almost finished drinking, so he said goodbye to him. He would go back later, but there was still a midnight snack waiting for him.

The two left the mansion all the way, and while Zhu Wen was happy tonight, they took advantage of Zhao Hongjun's uncle Zhao Jing's affairs.

"A small matter, when the new king ascends the throne, he will be given a position in the court. Anyway, it is Ji Chang's people, that is, Zhu's people. When he arrives in the court, the more people his family, the better."

"Then Qing thanked brother!"

Geng Qing bowed his hand to thank him, and was urged by Zhu Wen to get on the carriage. He gradually drove out of the night, walked through the streets, and returned to his residence. He asked Dachun to go back to the mansion first, while he stayed with Zhang Hu and others to go to the next door to ask Zhao Hongjun for midnight snacks.

Soon, the door of the mansion opened and the manager led him in.
