The sun sets in the west, reflecting the magnificent glow of the clouds, leaving a warm red aftertaste on the top of the yellow tiled palace.
Passed the Wufeng Tower.
The banquet for all officials was held at Fengtian Gate.
"Master Yang, you came early enough today."
"I've met Mr. Yang."
"Master Jin, how are you these days?"
As far as the eye can see, dozens of tables and chairs are neatly arranged left and right.
Officials, old and young, dressed in bright red official robes and black gauze hats, gathered together, each with a smile on their face. Of course, it was obvious that the tall and strong man occupied a lot of space, and the current situation of the court could be seen at a glance.
"The King of Han returned victorious. Not to mention how loud these rough men spoke."
Occasionally, you can hear complaints and dissatisfaction like this.
"Li Kui, we are sitting here."
Li Kui was wearing a red Feiyu suit, and only Chen Hu was with him. The two of them found the arranged table and sat down.
The location here is quite forward, and you can see the Fengtian Temple in the distance as soon as you raise your eyes.
"That is the three Yangs in the court, namely Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu. They are all subordinate officials of the Prince's Mansion and are the Prince's right-hand men."
Chen Hu also looked beaming and kept introducing the important figures in the court to Li Kui: "That's Jin Youzi, Mr. Jin, and next to him is Hu Yan, Mr. Hu."
"Um."
Li Kui responded without interest.
He doesn't like this kind of occasion, it's boring and boring, and with his current reputation, he probably can't avoid being polite.
Time passed little by little.
Bright lights illuminated the entire Fengtianmen.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and melodious music sounded.
The meals for the dinner were finally served one by one, including chicken, duck, fish, fruits and vegetables, and several jars of fine wine. It didn’t have the delicacies expected, but it could be said that it was definitely filling.
"Began to eat!"
Li Kui's eyes lit up, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
The people at the table didn't know Li Kui, and because they were all dressed in Feiyu uniforms, no one took the initiative to talk to him. However, they knew Chen Hu, the personal bodyguard of the emperor's grandson, and they exchanged glasses for a while and had a lively conversation.
Li Kui was spared the time of awkward chatting and had some leisure time.
However, he noticed that there was a thin man at the same table who was in the same situation as him. He glanced at it and then looked away.
Suddenly, a eunuch quietly came to Chen Hu and whispered a few words.
"Li Kui, I have something to do, so I'll leave for a while."
"good."
After a while, the man raised his head, drank the wine in the glass, turned his head to look at Li Kui, looked at it for a moment, picked up the wine bottle, sat down next to Li Kui, and asked with a smile: "Even if you cut it off, why don't you do it first?"
Li Kui with the head?"
'here we go again.'
Li Kui paused while chewing the pig head meat, looked directly at the man with calm eyes, nodded slightly, "I haven't asked for advice yet."
"Xin Chou Ke Jinshi, Yu Qian."
"Jinyiwei, Li Kui."
"I've heard about your name for a long time, Yu Qian would like to toast you."
With that said, Yu Qian raised his wine glass and was about to drink it. Suddenly a hand pressed down on his wrist. The stern face in his eyes was a little playful. He said, "Why do you respect me for no reason?"
The corners of Yu Qian's mouth curled up, his eyes burned brightly, and although his voice was low, it was definitely loud and clear.
"I hope you can contain the warlike heart of a saint."
"I respect you for saving the common people in the fire and water."
The hand pressing on the wrist was withdrawn.
'This is an interesting guy.'
Li Kui looked at the slender Yu Qian, his tone was sincere, and there seemed to be something hotter than flames in his pupils.
in the following chat.
He finally understood the flame in Yu Qian's eyes, it was called ideal;
called ambition;
It can also be called a passion!
Yu Qian was drunk.
He denounced the tyranny of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxi; Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui ignored the law; he also said that the prince paid attention to people's livelihood and cared about the people, so he must be a rare and good monarch, and his last words were enough to make others immediately chop off his head with a knife.
"Isn't it the saint's heart to gain the throne? Because of this, the emperor held the Yongle Ceremony and personally released the evil beast of war."
Li Kui shook his head slightly.
During the chat between the two, he found that Yu Qian was indeed very intelligent and his views on the current situation were quite sharp. However, in his opinion, Yu Qian had not been severely beaten by society and some of his views were still biased.
He is indeed a talented person, I hope he can maintain his innocence in the future!
at this time.
"Your Majesty, here we come!"
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end.
At the end of the line of sight, a majestic figure stood in front of the main hall, raising a glass from a distance and shouting: "Celebrate the Ming Dynasty."
Wow...
"Celebrate the Ming Dynasty!"
"Celebrating the Emperor!"
"Long live the mighty!"
All civil and military officials stood up, raised their wine glasses, and drank.
The rituals and music become more graceful and graceful.
Not much longer.
Chen Hu led a eunuch back in a hurry, came to Li Kui's side, and said softly:
"The Emperor summons you."
"okay, I get it."
Li Kui cleaned off the oil stains on his hands and followed Chen Hu towards the direction of Fengtian Hall.
At this time,
Yu Qian, who was lying on the table drunkenly, suddenly raised his head slightly, glanced at Li Kui's retreating back, muttered a few words, and buried it in his arms again.
…
…
In front of the Fengtian Hall, a long red carpet was laid out, and the ministers, who could be called the bosses of the court, sat down on both sides.
this moment.
Li Kui walked into the power center of the Ming Dynasty, stepped on the red carpet and stepped up the steps, and came to the front of the Ming Empire's leader, Zhu Di.
"Li Kui, the deputy of Qianhu, Jin Yiwei, has met the saint!"
Li Kui cupped his hands and bowed.
"My grandson often mentions you in front of me, saying how heroic you are and how superb your martial arts are."
A calm and heroic voice sounded from above.
Footsteps are approaching.
"Today I want to see what a general who can take the head of Commander O'La from among thousands of armies looks like!"
That is this moment.
Li Kui raised his head slightly.
Dressed in a vermilion dragon robe, with a majestic appearance and a beautiful beard, he stood in front of Li Kui with his hands on his hips and a faint smile on his lips. The years left traces on his face, but the emperor became more and more...
Domineering, not angry but self-defeating.
He is Judy!
"I have seen the saint."
Li Kui replied.
'Zhu Zhanji does look very similar to Zhu Di.' He suddenly thought in his heart.
"Um."
Zhu Di looked at Li Kui and nodded slightly, "You are indeed a talented person. No wonder Taisun values you so much."
"Come and give me a seat in front of the temple."
Zhu Di ordered the eunuch beside him.
Li Kui followed Zhu Di, came to the front of the palace, and glanced at him.
On the left are sitting Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, a tall and straight middle-aged man in official robes with a rather elegant face; and a young man with an extraordinary handsome appearance who can only be seen in the distance.
Around fifteen years old, wearing a green crane cloak.
On the right sat Zhu Gaosui. In front of him was a tall and strong man with a long beard and a smile. Only his eyes concealed ferocity and domineering. If expected, it should be Zhu Gaoxi, King of Han Dynasty.
.
"Li Kui, please sit next to your grandson."
"Thank you saint!"
Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, stroked his beautiful beard, and said with a smile: "Zheng He, tell everyone, what strange things happened to you on your voyage to the West this time, I am also quite curious."
The tall and straight middle-aged 'man', Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, passed by Li Kui and came to the front of the palace.
"Li Kui, come."
Zhu Zhanji waved to Li Kui excitedly and pointed to the seat next to him.
