Li Yuan was not polite to Chu Suiliang and others. He raised his hand and said no need to be more polite, and then he was done.
The main reason was that Chu Suiliang and others were not of high rank or title, and their positions in the Tang Dynasty were not important. Otherwise, Li Yuan would definitely treat them as his beloved, and then he would personally go down to the dragon's gate to help them up.
Li Yuan met Chu Suiliang and others, and after accepting their worship, he led a group of royal relatives and nobles under his command and walked towards the palace.
When he arrived at the palace, Li Yuan naturally took the seat of honor, and ignored anyone, teasing his grandson with peace of mind.
Li Shimin brought Li Chengqian to greet him, but he just glanced at Li Shimin lightly, then waved to Li Chengqian enthusiastically, asking Li Chengqian to sit next to him.
In comparison, Li Jiancheng seemed a little stretched. When he brought Zheng Guanyin and his son to pay tribute to Li Yuan, Li Yuan just said yes and had his son taken over and placed on the table with Li Chengde.
He didn't pay any attention to the couple.
The couple could only find a place to sit down in embarrassment.
When the royal family members and elderly officials saw this, they immediately understood what Li Yuan was thinking.
It's not that Li Yuan didn't love his eldest son and his second son. If he didn't love his eldest son and his second son, he wouldn't have called his eldest son to his side. The reason why he did this was purely for his sake.
My fourth son watched it.
He was using this to tell his fourth son that he had completely given up on his eldest and second sons, and would no longer love his eldest and second sons, so he reassured his fourth son.
But, he was just flirting with a blind man.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin can understand his style, Zheng Guanyin and Zhangsun can understand it, Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong can understand it, Li Gang and Pei Ju can understand it, but Li Yuanji finds it funny.
Li Yuan's look of "I will only pass the throne to you, not to any of your brothers" is really funny.
Because Li Yuan was too cautious and underestimated his broad-mindedness, he never thought about becoming emperor from the beginning to the end, let alone actually killed Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and other brothers and nephews.
In his opinion, both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are capable.
Isn't it a pure waste to leave such a capable person unused and to kill him instead?
As long as he could guard Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he really didn't mind giving Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin some authority. He didn't even mind granting them kingships in foreign lands, drawing borders for them, and establishing another empire for them.
So Li Yuan obviously looked down upon him.
"I am waiting to see His Highness King Yong!"
After watching Li Yuan's performance, Li Yuanji shook his head and entered the cabin. He was also the last one to enter the cabin, followed by Chen Shanyi.
The moment Li Yuan walked in, he glanced meaningfully at everyone in the room.
Yes, that's everyone.
So everyone stood up together and bowed together to salute King Yong.
This includes Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong and other royal relatives.
Their standard of etiquette is not to meet a prince, but to meet the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and others all had their hands on their hands and their heads lowered, Li Yuanji felt both funny and helpless in his heart. Li Yuan was not going to give up until he pushed him up.
Li Shentong and others only followed Li Yuan's lead. Under Li Yuan's instruction, they forgot about their seniority and chose to bow their heads. He could understand.
But Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin also surrendered. It would be strange if Li Yuan didn't lead the way.
However, he was not polite. Many times, when many people are praising you, you cannot be humble. If you are too modest, in others' eyes, it is just mud that cannot hold up the wall. So when faced with this kind of situation where many people are praising you.
In this situation, you have to show your courage and do your best.
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, waved his hands and said, "Everyone, please sit down."
Everyone, headed by Li Jiancheng and Li Shentong, bowed in unison and sat down again.
Li Yuanji walked directly in front of Li Yuan, saluted Li Yuan who was teasing his grandson but kept glancing here, and then ordered someone to put another desk in front of Li Yuan's desk without politeness.
Li Yuan's face was red and he seemed to have something to complain about, and he sat down firmly amid all the weird expressions.
"My dear friends, you have come all the way. It's really hard work. I have already ordered people to prepare a banquet, and I will be there for you in a short while. However, there is one more thing to do before you can wash away the dust..."
Having said this, Li Yuanji did not say any more, but waved to the outside while everyone in the hall looked suspicious.
Then I saw Chu Suiliang, with his eyebrows lowered and ten beautiful girls with slim figures, skin so tender that you could pinch water, and full of exotic amorous feelings, appear in the courtyard.
As soon as Li Yuan saw this, he immediately became energetic and laughed out loud, as if his son still understands me.
But when he saw the ten foreign girls walking towards Li Shentong, his face drooped and he stared at Li Shentong with wide eyes. He needed Li Shentong to give him an explanation.
It is simply unreasonable for Li Shentong to want to monopolize such a good thing without first honoring him as his elder brother.
Li Shentong felt something was wrong when he saw ten foreign girls appearing in the cabin. He kept winking at Li Yuanji. After seeing the ten foreign girls walking in front of him, his expression changed.
The face is full of bitterness, which is uglier than eating Coptis chinensis.
After feeling Li Yuan's gaze, he wanted to die.
He knew why things turned out like this. This was Li Yuanji's revenge on him, for taking advantage of him and failing to get anything done.
So he had no way to explain it now, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
After all, it was he who took the initiative to ask Hou Junji what he wanted, and Li Yuanji agreed on Hou Junji's behalf and put forward corresponding conditions.
Now it was him who failed to accomplish the task, it was not Li Yuanji who failed to accomplish the task, and it was not Hou Junji who failed to benefit him, so he could not explain it.
"Ah Shou, you are so lucky!"
Seeing that Li Shentong was still refusing to explain, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel angry.
Li Shentong's hair stood up when he heard Li Yuan call him "A Shou".
The last time Li Yuan called him "A Shou" was when he chopped his cousin in front of him.
He knew very well what it meant when Li Yuan called him "Ah Shou" at this time, which meant that Li Yuan was really angry.
He quickly forced out a smile and said: "The saint is joking..."
Before Li Shentong finished speaking, Li Yuan shouted with a straight face: "What saint? There are no saints here today, only His Highness King Yong, called eldest brother!"
Li Shentong was trembling all over, and with a grimace on his face, he said pitifully: "Eldest brother is joking, you are really lucky. My brother asked Hou Junji to ask these beauties to come here so that they can serve eldest brother!"
When Li Yuan heard this, his expression did not change. He turned his head and looked at Li Yuanji and asked, "Is that so?"
Li Shentong looked at Li Yuanji with a pleading look, hoping that Li Yuanji would put in a good word for him.
Li Yuanji glanced at him with a smile and said, "Is that really the case?"
Li Shentong almost kowtowed, and kept shouting: "Yes, yes, that's it, my Highness King Yong!"
Li Yuanji gave Li Shentong a look that said, "I won't be able to help you next time." Then he let him go and nodded to Li Yuan: "That's how it should be!"
Li Yuan opened his eyes and shouted: "What do you mean should?!"
Li Yuanji said again: "Is that about it?"
Li Yuan became even more annoyed and asked, "What do you mean roughly?"
Li Shentong now wanted to stand up and call him grandpa, but he wouldn't do it in such a torturous way.
Li Yuanji saw Li Shentong bowing to him with pleading, and felt that the heat was almost over, so he continued to say to Li Yuan: "Father, you know that I take things between men and women very lightly, so I won't
Pay careful attention to this kind of thing.
All I know is a rough idea, and all I can tell you is a rough idea.
If you want to know something more specific, just ask me, Uncle Wang."
When Li Yuan heard this, he calmed down his anger, then stared at Li Shen Passage: "Are you really collecting these women to dedicate them to me?"
Even though Li Shentong was a pig, he knew what to say at this moment, so he kept nodding his head and said: "Yes, yes, it is dedicated to you."
Li Yuan snorted and said with a satisfied but not very satisfied look: "That's pretty much it. This kind of women from the Western Regions are not something you can enjoy."
Li Yuan's words completely killed Li Shentong. With Li Yuan's words, no one would dare to give him a girl from the Western Regions in the future, and he would not dare to find a girl from the Western Regions to enjoy himself.
Because if he found it, it would be against Li Yuan's will.
If Li Yuan insists on dealing with him, he will definitely shed his skin.
However, even so, he nodded quickly and responded: "Yes, yes...
When Li Yuan heard this, he let him go, nodded, waved to the ten girls from the Western Region, and asked the little yellow gatekeeper beside him to take them down.
After the ten girls from the Western Regions left, the banquet officially began.
During the banquet, the people in the palace discussed two resolutions.
One is to take advantage of the fact that winter has entered the prairie, everything is bleak, and there is no way to continue the war, to hold a grand horse racing meeting. Each family will open up a horse farm, select good horses, and hold horse racing, polo, etc.
Various horse-related entertainment competitions.
The second is to allocate a piece of pasture to each family on the grassland, and each family will have people to manage it. The court will collect a certain amount of good horses or high-quality horses as taxes every year according to the size of each family's pasture, and the rest will go to each family.
