"I've kept you waiting for so long, so I'll punish myself with three glasses of wine." Su Chen raised his glass and said.
After saying that, Su Chen drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then drank two more glasses of wine in one gulp.
Seeing this, the ministers couldn't help but be a little stunned.
But soon, some of their reactions came back.
The Protector is trying to eliminate the direct barrier between him and them.
Su Chen's bold behavior also received unanimous praise from the generals present, and they all raised their glasses and drank in one gulp to express their respect.
Immediately afterwards, even the civil servants joined in the toast.
After such a simple table etiquette, Su Chen instantly became closer to the ministers.
It turns out that the majestic Protector of the Country at the canonization ceremony was not as serious as imagined, and was somewhat down-to-earth anyway.
For a moment, the ministers in the Manna Hall softened their facial expressions and smiled.
Seeing the change in the atmosphere in the hall, Su Chen nodded secretly in his heart.
It seems that the ministers no longer have any hostility towards me.
In this case, it will be easier to handle the wine next.
"Lord Protector, let me toast you!" A minister who was well-liked in the court took the initiative to propose a toast to Su Chen, becoming the first person to eat crabs.
"Okay!" Su Chen smiled slightly and drank the wine in one gulp.
Seeing such a kind side of Su Chen again, the ministers' impression of Su Chen changed somewhat.
Gradually, after the previous minister, people began to toast to Su Chen again, and Su Chen did not refuse, responded to them one by one, and even chatted with them.
As a result, the unfamiliarity between Su Chen and the ministers has completely disappeared, and everyone has a good impression of this young Lord Protector.
Although he became a supreme minister at a young age and became one person in the Tang Dynasty and more than ten thousand people, he did not have a trace of pride because of it. Instead, he acted approachable. I don’t know, maybe I thought Su Chen was just a Mingxiao.
The younger generation of affairs.
And Su Chen was also very emotional about these ministers.
Today he not only met the twenty-four famous heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in history, but also met many capable ministers and generals.
…
Seeing Su Chen chatting happily with the ministers, His Majesty Li Er felt very emotional.
Originally, he thought that Su Chen would come up with his own tricks to fool the ministers, but he didn't expect that Su Chen would liven up the atmosphere in the entire hall just by making a simple toast. It was really surprising.
…
The banquet continued for another hour, and the ministers became more and more interested, and each of the generals began to wield swords.
On a cold day, Cheng Yaojin was naked with his upper body exposed, and he was waving a long halberd in the open space with a majestic manner, attracting bursts of cheers.
Su Chen was amazed when he saw it.
This passionate way of adding to the fun is indeed in line with the style of the Tang Dynasty.
But after watching it for a while, Su Chen felt a little boring.
What's the point of a man dancing with a sword? It's better for a beautiful woman to do it.
Just when Su Chen was lost in thought, he heard a burst of cheers. When he looked up, Su Chen was instantly happy.
Isn't this an old acquaintance?
What a coincidence!
"Not bad, I arranged this specially for you." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and said with a smile.
I saw two faces from different races appearing in the Manna Hall, one of whom Su Chen was too familiar with.
Isn’t that the somewhat rich-looking one the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks?
But the bearded man next to Jie Li was very unfamiliar to Su Chen, as if he had never seen him before.
Seeing Su Chenfa's doubts, His Majesty Li Er smiled and explained: "That man is the son of the King of Goguryeo. After they broke through the Goguryeo Imperial City, only one member of his royal family was captured, and the others were all dead."
"I heard that this man, like Jie Li, is also good at singing and dancing, so I kept an eye on him and brought him back, just so that he could compete with Jie Li."
Hearing this, Su Chen laughed and said, "I don't like grown men, why are you doing this?"
His Majesty Li Er smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, there will be a dancer soon, just wait."
With the appearance of Jieli and the Goguryeo prince, the atmosphere in the Ganlu Hall reached its peak.
The reason why His Majesty Li Er made such an arrangement was actually for a hidden reason.
Jieli was the first time Su Chen made a contribution. On this day when Su Chen made his official debut, it was even more meaningful to bring Jieli out for a spin.
The ministers had obviously thought of this, and their fear of Su Chen had diminished a lot, and they couldn't help but start to respect Su Chen from the bottom of their hearts.
Today's Tang Dynasty is so powerful, it is absolutely inseparable from Su Chen's contribution.
After thinking of this, everyone no longer feared Su Chen, but instead looked forward to the future of Datang.
In today's Tang Dynasty, not only is the monarch enlightened, but even the Lord Protector has shown his true form. How prosperous will it be then?
However, it was obviously impossible for Jieli Khan, who was a prisoner of war, to treat Su Chen like the ministers.
When he entered the Manna Hall and saw Su Chen, he was so frightened that his legs trembled and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He had such a vivid memory of this "noble man"!
When he was in Sujiazhuang, he almost died dancing on the stage because of one of his words!
time, and now that he suddenly saw Su Chen, he instantly remembered those not-so-good memories.
It has been almost two years since he came to Chang'an City. Instead of being abused during his childhood, he was somewhat nourished...
Although the current Jieli Khan is not as superior as in history, it is still very good. He has no worries about food and clothing, and has a small house to live in. He is only occasionally called over to perform Turkic dances for others...
At first, Jieli was naturally unhappy!
who is he?!
Although the mighty Khan of the Eastern Turks was reduced to a prisoner, how could he be subjected to such humiliation?!
It’s really too much of a lie!
But soon, Jieli adapted to this kind of life...
After all, it is better to live than to die, so it is better to live first. The green hills left behind will be there, and you will not be afraid of running out of firewood.
And as the success stories of Datang came one after another, Jieli's thoughts took another 180-degree turn.
All the leaders of the foreign countries who were once equal to him have died under the sword of the Tang Dynasty. But he is the only one who is still alive in the world. It is really the greatest blessing among the blessings.
At this point, Jie Li had completely sunk in. He no longer had any thoughts of resistance, but began to enjoy it...
Even, does he feel any resistance to being called to dance for the Lord Protector this time?
My heart is filled with joy!
His ears were already calloused by the reputation and deeds of the Protector.
Not only was he not aggrieved that he could dance for such a big shot, he was actually very proud!
However, when he saw that the legendary Lord Protector was the noble man who almost died from exhaustion last time, he was frightened!
