The first thousand one hundred and seventy-eight chapters are all up to the emperor
The concierge of Prince Jing's Mansion was extremely busy today. Normally, only one person would be required to guard the door. Today, there were five people on duty at the same time.
The people who came to the palace today were either high-ranking officials or dignitaries. His Highness could afford to neglect these people, but they could not afford to neglect them.
Hearing that the visitor reported that his official position was "given to me", a porter immediately cheered up, accepted the name card, stepped forward and said: "My lord, please come in."
For those who came to Prince Jing's Mansion today, some people would hand over name cards and invitations according to the rules, but some people would come in in a swaggering manner, like the veterans just now, and they would not need to check the invitations one by one.
In the entire Kyoto, no one dared to eat or make trouble during the banquet held in Prince Jing's Mansion.
The porter led him through most of the palace, pointed to a courtyard in front, and said: "I will take you here, and this gentleman can go in by himself."
Wei Xian took a deep breath and stepped in.
So he saw such a scene.
General Ma pointed at General Xue's nose and cursed: "Well, you old guy, there are only two chicken legs here, and you, old guy, actually want to monopolize them!"
General Xue had a chicken leg in his mouth, but he was not to be outdone and scolded back: "Old man, you are so embarrassed to accuse me, you just drank all the jar of thirty-year-old wine by yourself, what did I say?
?”
General Xue and General Ma were pointing to the sky and yelling at each other.
Right Prime Minister Dong Wenyun and Minister of Household Affairs Zeng Shichun clinked glasses with each other.
The person lying under the table and being carried into the room is Jing Zhaoyin and Liu Dayou.
Liu Yishou, the Minister of Punishment, was serving dishes to the veteran's table.
The two people at the back should be envoys from the State of Wu and the State of Qi.
If he read it correctly, the person squatting there grilling fish and crying from the fireworks was the dean of the college, Jin Wang Li Han.
From where he stood, he could see the kitchen.
The busy figure in the kitchen is none other than King Jing. Accompanying him are Princess Shouning and the eldest princess.
Wei Xian roughly counted, there are more than half of the twenty members of the State Council, including one prime minister, envoys from the two countries, three ministers, four veterans...
Sitting in this small courtyard, more than half of the backbone of the Jingguo court gathered.
"Hey, Mr. Wei is here too. Why are you here so late? Sit here." Dong Wenyun's voice came from beside him. Wei Xian turned his head and was pulled to the table in a daze.
He opened his mouth: "Dong Xiang..."
Dong Wenyun smiled and said: "There is no Prime Minister here, and we will not talk about state affairs today, drink, drink..."
After saying that, the wine glass in front of Wei Xian was already filled.
…
Li Yi was busy in the kitchen alone, cursing in his mind that these bastards were really unreliable, but his own daughter and Shouning were still considerate.
When the last dish was out of the pot, he washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen.
Li Xuan's figure walked in from outside the hospital in time.
Not only him, but also his queen and concubine.
Li Xuan has always been good at timing, never early or late. He used to eat alone, but now he eats as a family.
Seeing that his daughter has been molested by his own family, I will let him molest her again this time.
"I see your Majesty, the Queen, and the Imperial Concubine!"
At several banquets in the courtyard, even drunk people sobered up instantly and immediately stood up to salute.
Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite today, you eat what you have..."
Although he said so, it was different whether he came or not. No one dared to be presumptuous now, even the quarrel between the two old generals was much lowered.
Li Xuan and his queen and concubine naturally had to sit in the room, and Mingzhu and Shouning were at the same table with them.
Li Han, who had just gotten rid of the task of grilling fish, had no choice but to sigh and squat back to grill another one.
"You entertained guests, but you didn't invite me..." Li Xuan complained quite a bit about this.
Li Yi would rather brag with the two old generals than Li Xuan come over and ruin everyone's fun.
He had a hunch that he would be disappointed by Li Xuan more and more times in the future...
Li Xuan took a bite of food, looked at Li Yi and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"It's been fifteen." Li Yi thought for a while, he didn't want to delay in Kyoto for too long.
Li Xuan sighed and said: "I shouldn't leave so soon, at least until Ze'er is one year old."
Li Yi looked at him warily and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Shuzhou!" Li Xuan said matter-of-factly: "I plan to move the Academy of Sciences there when the time comes. You can build me another base in Ruyi City as it is..."
Li Yi still hasn't figured out why Li Xuan can always say such shameless things so easily.
Did he kidnap his daughter or his sister... Even if he kidnapped his daughter or kidnapped his sister, is his request too much?
Li Yi looked at him and asked: "Are you going to be emperor?"
Li Xuan glanced at him and said, "Isn't there a prince?"
Li Yi looked behind him. Li Xuan's prince was lying on the bed and asleep, with four maids watching beside him.
"Can your prince decide national affairs for you?"
"Isn't there a State Council?"
"What if the State Council can't decide?"
…
"Brother, sir, the fish is here." Li Han brought the grilled fish over.
Li Yi looked at Li Han and stopped talking.
Li Xuan took a piece of fish, looked at Li Yi, and suddenly said: "I plan to make the Dragon Boat Festival girl the princess, what do you think?"
Hearing the name of Dragon Boat Festival, Li Han immediately pricked up his ears.
Li Yi shook his head, "I have no objection."
"Duan Wu and Xiao Han are both talented and handsome. However, once she has the status of a princess, and she marries Xiao Han, no one else will gossip about her."
Li Xuan looked at Li Han and asked: "Xiao Han, you will be eighteen soon. The emperor plans to betroth the Dragon Boat Festival girl to you. The marriage between you and the Wang family should also be fulfilled. Otherwise, just
Let’s get together?”
Li Han was ecstatic in his heart, but he said with a serious look on his face: "It's all up to the emperor brother to make the decision."
Li Xuan nodded and said: "Brother Huang is going to patrol incognito for a while. Ze'er is too young to take on the heavy responsibility of the prince. As his uncle, you should help him. Brother Huang plans to let you temporarily serve as regent."
, what do you think?"
Li Han just picked up a piece of fish and almost dropped it to the ground.
It turns out this is a multiple choice question.
A: Marry Dragon Boat Festival, marry Linger.
B: Regent.
This is not a multiple choice question.
Either A and B choose at the same time, or neither A and B choose.
As expected, there is no free princess in the sky. Li Han took a deep breath and sighed: "It all depends on the emperor brother..."
The officials in the courtyard did not know that their Majesty had overturned the pattern of Jingguo in the next few years or even more than ten years with just one meal.
There are gains and there are losses. The current King Jin and the future Regent will regard this principle as the true meaning of life for a long time.
This banquet ended earlier than Li Yi expected.
Because of Li Xuan's relationship, all the officials present took their leave after eating and drinking.
Li Yi stood in the yard, sighed, and said: "Why do you think the late emperor passed the throne to you..."
Li Xuan looked depressed: "I don't want to either..."
A figure crawled out from under the table, patted the dust on his body, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "I have met your Majesty, I have met King Jing!"
Li Yi looked at him, "This is..."
"Wei Xian, the Ministry of Household Affairs is in trouble." Li Xuan looked at him and said in surprise: "You don't recognize the guest you invited?"
Li Yi really didn't know this Hu Bu Ji Shizhong. Logically speaking, the dignified Hu Bu Ji Shizhong shouldn't be so depressed that he had to wait for dinner. Li Yi looked at him and asked: "Is there something wrong with Wei Gui Shizhong?"
Today Wei Xian ate chicken cooked by King Jing and fish grilled by King Jin.
He also saw so many important ministers and pillars in the court, a completely different side in this small courtyard than standing in the main hall.
He also heard what His Majesty said to King Jing just now.
"The official admires His Highness Prince Jing very much."
He took a step back, bowed to Li Yi, and said: "I heard that Your Highness is leaving, and I came uninvited today to say goodbye to Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will not take offense..."
