Tang Chen cupped his hands and lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously. Tang Chen, a common man, has seen Zhongshu Ling."
Zhongshu Ling smiled and supported Tang Chen with both hands: "Don't stick to those etiquettes. You are the protagonist of today's banquet, and I am also blessed by you."
At this time, Eunuch Sun, who went to Liyong Mansion to deliver the emperor's oral instructions, walked out of Yanming Hall. Suddenly all the officials stood there and everyone became quiet: "Announce all ministers to enter the hall!"
Li Yong and Chi Dao walked in front, followed by other officials. Their positions seemed to be very particular. Tang Chen looked around, and Li Yong whispered: "Don't look around, be careful of getting into trouble.
"
Entering the Yanming Hall, it is really a magnificent place. There are an equal number of tables and chairs on both sides of the hall. There are exquisite fruits on the tables and some wine in jade pots. Li Yong sat in front of the second row and still stayed.
An empty seat came out and Tang Chen sat next to him. Li Yong picked up a bunch of grapes from the table and handed it to Tang Chen: "Eat!"
Tang Chen took it and saw that no one else had touched the things on the table. Only Li Yong took the lead in eating. Zhong Shuling sat opposite and stared at Li Yong. There seemed to be something strange in his eyes.
After a long time, a man wearing a dragon robe and his hair disheveled came up. He must be the emperor. As soon as the emperor arrived, everyone stood up, except Li Yong, who pretended to be laborious and held the table with both hands for a long time.
Without standing firm, the emperor glanced this way and said: "General Li, his old illness has relapsed? Sit down quickly!"
Li Yong sat down and said, "Thank you Lord for your kindness."
At this time, the emperor swung his sleeves and sat down with one leg on the dragon-headed gold chair that was long enough for him to lie down half-ly, and then said: "All my dear friends, please sit down too."
After everyone sat down, the emperor's eyes focused on Tang Chen, wiping his beard and saying: "I guess the person next to General Li is Tang Chen who killed General Jiang Liao."
"Exactly!"
Tang Chen stood up knowingly: "Earlier Tang Chen met the emperor."
"Pingshen, sit down." The emperor showed a smile, with a lazy look, holding a wine glass in one hand and resting on the table with the other. He took a sip of wine and said, "Tang Chen, you have meritorious service in killing the enemy. I also heard that
Does it mean that you used your spiritual power to wipe out the evil spirits on the mountain?"
"I did it."
"My dear friends, can you please take a look at how much spiritual power this Tang Chen has?"
Zhongshu ordered Chi Dao to stand up and said: "Young Master Tang has a handsome appearance. Although we cannot tell how much spiritual power he has in his body, we know that he must be a great talent among men and a great talent in our country!"
At this time, another person also stood up and said: "Young Master Tang's spiritual energy is so deep that ordinary people like me can't sense it. Young Master Tang can be regarded as a leader among people. I congratulate the emperor on this talent!"
All kinds of rainbow farts were slapped on Tang Chen's body, making Tang Chen feel a little embarrassed. At this time, the emperor said: "What you are saying is all false. Look at all of you ministers who don't even know what they have."
I don’t know how much spiritual power there is, but in my opinion, there are two levels of spiritual power in Tang Chen’s body, one is good and the other is evil!”
Tang Chen was shocked. Could it be that the emperor saw that there was an evil spirit in him? The emperor said: "However, the righteous one is far better than everyone here. Even I will lose by a few points!"
"Your Majesty is so complimentary!"
"This is not a ridiculous compliment. I think your spiritual power should have reached red or above by now!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone put down their wine glasses. They looked at the young boy in front of them in disbelief. How could his spiritual power be so high? There was no one in the civil and military circles of this dynasty.
The spiritual power can reach above red!
The emperor looked at the expressions of those ministers and smiled: "Oh, I drank a little too much today. Maybe I was drunk and couldn't see. In any case, Tang Chen, you are also the hero who killed General Jiang Liao. I think
You can just say whatever reward you want."
"I...I don't have anything to ask for. It's my honor to kill enemies for my country. How dare I ask for any more rewards."
"For the country? Are you from this country?" At this moment, Yan Mingdian heard the voice before anyone could see him. A man wearing a gold silk python robe walked in. With this outfit, it was no surprise that he was the prince.
"Zheng'er, why are you so late?"
Lu Zheng walked to the front and said, "I have visited my father. When I returned to my father, I was ordered to investigate the disaster in Lingnan. There was an urgent report, so there was a delay."
"Oh?" The emperor put down the wine glass in his hand and pushed his hair behind his back. "Is there any progress in the Lingnan disaster?"
The prince sneered and pretended to say: "Natural disasters are controllable, but man-made disasters are difficult to control!"
Li Yong drank a glass of wine, handed Tang Chen a piece of fruit and said with a smile: "Let's watch the show." After saying that, his expression became serious again: "Watch carefully..."
Tang Chen looked confused when he saw the prince holding up a memorial. The emperor took it and threw it on the table without even looking at it: "Today is the day when General Li returns from a great victory. Let's leave these matters until tomorrow morning, prince."
Take your seat first!”
At this time, Li Yong stood up with some difficulty, attracting the emperor's attention. He walked to the middle and stood beside the prince: "Your Majesty, no. Relieving disasters is like putting out fires. How can I delay my small celebration banquet? His Royal Highness just said
Natural disasters are controllable, but man-made disasters are difficult to control. I think this is justified and my merits are on the battlefield. I don’t want to become an obstacle to disaster management.”
At this time, Zhong Shuling's expression was a bit ugly. Lingnan was the territory of the wise king, and Li Yong had always helped the wise king. Why would he take the initiative to bring it up? It was obviously unreasonable. But there was only one chance. He came to
The person who came from the front looked at Li Yong with somewhat confused eyes: "I also think that the Lingnan natural disaster should be dealt with as soon as possible without delay."
The emperor laughed loudly, poured a glass of wine and pointed at the two of them: "It's rare that you two think of getting together, so let's talk about it." The emperor opened his mouth to swallow the wine and threw the glass to the side. The eunuch next to him threw the glass to the side.
He held up the wine glass, picked up the memorial and opened it: "The prince said that the court's disaster relief food was seized. What is going on? Where is the wise king?"
The prince replied: "Maybe he knew that I was going to say these things today and deliberately didn't come."
"Eunuch Sun!" The emperor turned around and said, "Didn't you inform the wise king about today's banquet?"
Eunuch Sun quickly stepped forward and said, "Xian Wang, you have already set off for Lingnan two days ago."
"He went to Lingnan? Why didn't I know?" The emperor glanced at the prince: "Do you know?"
"I don't know."
At this time, the Minister of Hubu stood up and said: "It is indeed true. The wise king cares about the world and has already personally conquered Lingnan. I also received news today that the disaster in Lingnan has been brought under control."
