In the capital of the Li Dynasty, a grand banquet was being held in the imperial city, because Li Foma, who had personally fought for Champa for some time ago, finally returned. After returning, he immediately ordered a grand banquet for three days to reward the meritorious people who sent troops this time. Today is the last day of the banquet and the most lively day. He even let people fill the streets with food and let the people get food.

In a hall in the middle of the imperial city, Li Foma and the ministers were drinking and enjoying the dance. In the middle, a group of dancers in gauze dress were dancing to the music. It is worth mentioning that these dancers were the wives and concubines of the King of Cham City before. Although there was a concubine of the King of Cham City rather than follow Li Foma, not everyone had such courage.

Li Foma looked about thirty or forty years old, with dark skin and strong figure, but not tall, with a beard under his jaw, which looked quite majestic. However, he looked lustfully at the group of dancers in the hall, and the other ministers were similar, because Li Foma had ordered the group of dancers to be enjoyed by the people in the hall. After all, they were the wives and concubines of the King of Chameng. The more humiliated they were, the more they felt happy.

Speaking of which, Li Foma is not a simple person. Although he was young, he led troops to fight westwards and northwards many times when his father Li Gongyun was alive. Later, his father passed away, and his three brothers rebelled one after another. However, he used thunder to quell the rebellion in a short time and rebuilt the bureaucratic system of the Li Dynasty. This time he defeated the Li Dynasty's old enemy, Chameng, and pushed his prestige to an incomparable dispatch.

As the banquet slowly reached its climax, the ministers around him could not control themselves. The dancer who had pulled Xinyi sat in his arms and teased him. Li Foma didn't care about this situation. After all, their Nanyue was not the Central Plains, and they did not have so much etiquette. Moreover, he had already ordered them just now. Today, they only enjoy themselves, regardless of the monarch and minister.

But at this moment, Li Foma found that everyone else was enjoying themselves, but Guo Shengyi, the Grand Marshal who was sitting in his right hand, sat there motionless, as if these women from Chameng were not interested at all.

"Taiwei, are these women not what you like? Do you want me to have another group of them?" Li Foma immediately asked Guo Shengyi with a smile. Guo Shengyi was his most powerful minister. When he was attacking Cham City, if he hadn't personally led an army to kill the King of Cham City, which made the Cham City army lose its head, he might have taken a lot of time to capture Cham City.

"Your Majesty, I am not uninterested in these women. I just think that although Your Majesty defeated Cham City, I still can't go too far. After all, our Li Dynasty is not the only enemy Cham City!" Guo Shengyi stood up respectfully at this time and said.

Li Foma is indeed a promising monarch, but he is also a very happy person who is very luxurious, especially he is very lustful. He thinks there are thirteen queens, thirteen concubines, eighteen women, and hundreds of prostitutes. His daily life is also very luxurious. For example, when he returns from this great victory, he spends countless financial resources and material resources just for celebration, which also puts great pressure on the Li Dynasty's finances.

"I know what you are talking about, but the power of Zhenla in the west is not worth worrying about. As for the Song Dynasty in the north, it is just a huge flesh worm in my eyes. If we bite it, it will not react much. If we have the chance in the future, maybe I will raise troops to the Song Dynasty and seize the throne of the Central Plains to sit down!" Li Foma said arrogantly.

"The Zhenla in the west is indeed not worth worrying, but Your Majesty must not underestimate the Song Dynasty. In the past, there were enemies everywhere in the north of the Song Dynasty, which made them have no energy to look south at all. But now I heard that the Song Dynasty defeated the Dangxiang and Liao Kingdom in the north, making the troops extremely strong. Therefore, Your Majesty must not provoke the Song Dynasty as before, otherwise it might cause a big disaster!" Guo Shengyi's expression changed when he heard Li Foma's words and immediately advised.

"Okay, okay, I already know that although the State of Song is powerful, their capital is in the north. The south is too far away from them, and the army has long been corrupt. Even if they really send troops from the north, I am not afraid. After all, the climate here is different from that in the north. By then, their army may have died of illness before they can fight!" Li Foma waved indifferently.

In fact, Li Foma also knew that Guo Shengyi was loyal, but in his opinion, Guo Shengyi was thinking too much. No matter how powerful the Song Dynasty was, its focus was still in the north, while the Song Dynasty's rule over the south was very weak, and there were even no decent troops in the southern states. This was simply a big fat sheep for them, so Li Foma never took the Song Dynasty to heart.

Seeing that Li Foma did not listen to his words, Guo Shengyi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then said nothing, but his concerns did not diminish at all.

In fact, what Guo Shengyi is most worried about is not external threats, but internal problems of the Li Dynasty. Although the Li Dynasty is extremely strong after defeating Champa, he found that Li Foma, the promising monarch, is also undergoing huge changes. Now Li Foma is becoming more and more addicted to pleasure, and his life is even more luxurious.

As the saying goes, if the superiors have something to like, the subordinates will be even more serious. Li Foma's changes are also affecting the Li Dynasty. Even many ministers in the court like to flatter Li Foma more and more, which has also made more and more lucky ministers in the court. Although it has not made the court messy, in Guo Shengyi's opinion, there are already bad signs.

Although Guo Shengyi was from Nanyue, he went to the Song Dynasty to study when he was young and was quite familiar with the history of the Central Plains. Now he has seen some of the shadows of Li Longji and Zhao Heng from Li Foma. Both of them were wise in the first half of their lives, but in the end they destroyed their wisdom in the once-in-one emperor. He did not want Li Foma to follow the old path of these two people.

Thinking of the above, Guo Shengyi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Then he looked up at the Lord and Minister of the Li Dynasty in the hall. At this time, the entire hall was already a little unsightly, which made Guo Shengyi, who had always regarded himself as a Confucian child, also had the urge to leave. However, considering that doing so would ruin Li Foma's interest, the Emperor of the Li Dynasty was becoming increasingly unspeakable, which made him force himself to sit down and drink.

However, at this moment, suddenly there was a burst of rapid footsteps coming from outside, and then an eunuch rushed over and reported loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, the State of Song has sent an envoy to come and ask Your Majesty to welcome you!"
