Chapter 1010 East Palace Banquet

That night, the East Palace received a special imperial edict to banquet the ministers.

You must know that this has always been the patent of the emperor. Even if you become the prince, you cannot just summon a group of ministers to your house to drink. This is a very taboo thing. Your father is still sitting on the throne. You Now that you have frequent interactions with these people, do you think the prince's power is not powerful enough?

Therefore, many people who became princes did not dare to interact frequently with ministers, but this time it was different. This was a special edict from the emperor, but these people could not let go after they came. Most of them drank A bowl of water and wine, and then we left in a hurry.

Li Xiang and Li Chengqian also understood what was going on. Although the emperor issued an imperial edict, there were people watching here secretly. If they had a good relationship with the East Palace, they would probably die with the emperor tomorrow. No matter how stable your position is, as long as you don't ascend to that position for a day, you are just a prince.

"Come on, come on, cheers..."

However, most of the people who left were civil servants. These generals didn't have much scruples. They were preparing to drink to their heart's content in the East Palace. After all, this was the highest level Tang Tianjiang. According to their income, they couldn't drink it every day. But now Li Xiang There is an unlimited supply. If they don't go back full of wine, more than half of the generals will feel that they are at a loss.

Among them, Li Xiang’s father-in-law, Cheng Yaojin, is the most exciting. This guy has been drinking from a big bowl from the beginning to now. Not only does he compete with the people at his table, but he also competes with other generals next to him. Here is It seems to be his home court, but that's what he should do. Who wants him to have a good son-in-law?

Cheng Luan and Cheng Ying also saw what their father was doing and wanted to go over and try to persuade them. However, they also knew Cheng Yaojin’s temper. If they tried to persuade them at this time, Cheng Yaojin would probably be unhappy. Fortunately, Li Xiang was a good person. He knows how to coax his father-in-law, so he and Cheng Yaojin had to do three bowls in a row before the matter was over.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the dog thing."

Among all the princes, Qin Qiong can be said to be an alternative. After being granted the title of prince in Chang'an, Qin Qiong has been staying at home. Firstly, because of his poor health, and secondly, because he was afraid of being suspected, so he held various banquets He didn't even come out, but this time he came to the East Palace for his son and raised his wine glass very sincerely.

"What did the general say? When I first went to the battlefield, the general also raided the formation for me. Without the support of the general, how could I be where I am now?"

What Li Xiang said is also true. He had just traveled through time and immediately encountered the Tuyuhun incident, and Li Xiang was still the main war faction at the time. If the war could not be won, it would mean that Li Xiang said goodbye to the monarchy. , so that war was very important at that time.

"His Highness can still remember what happened back then. It's really shameful for me to face it. I didn't give His Highness much support back then. I just let His Highness do his best. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it in the future."

When talking about this matter, Qin Qiong felt his face heat up. Li Xiang did not use other troops and horses at that time. He only brought his own troops and horses. Being able to achieve such a victory was purely due to Li Xiang's luck. , so when Li Xiang said words of gratitude, Qin Shubao felt a little ashamed.

"Although I say that, if the general had not allowed me to lead the troops into the grassland in person, nothing would have happened today. Huaiyu has done well in the south, and he may not be able to return to Chang'an for the time being."

Li Xiang knew that the old Qin family had few heirs. If Qin Huaiyu had been outside, it would have been difficult to continue the family line. General Qin was also injured and there was no way he would have other sons. Currently, he only has two sons. The eldest son has gone to the south, and the second son has not yet grown up.

"A good man has his ambitions in all directions. If he is only tied to Chang'an, he will be a bastard waiting to die in the future. My Qin Shubao's son cannot be like this. Your Highness uses him hard. If he dares to complain, I will interrupt him. legs."

Qin Shubao said very freely and freely, now everyone knows that only by following Li Xiang can there be a future. If his son comes back now, he will definitely be sent back by others. In the future, I am afraid that all the yamen will not want him.

Li Xiang drank several more bowls of wine with Qin Shubao. Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was really drunk and could no longer stand, Li Xiang called Xiao Xiazi over and pulled Cheng Yaojin from left to right. Jin walked out.

After Cheng Luan saw this scene from a distance, he was really grateful in his heart. You must know that his husband is the third person in the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the most beloved person of the people of the Tang Dynasty. On such an occasion, he can Supporting his father and still respecting his father as always, this is not an ordinary meaning.

It's just that this scene fell into Princess Yongning's eyes, and it was as dazzling as it was. Princess Yongning thought of her father. Although he was still the king of Nanzhao, the news had spread throughout the aristocratic circle in the capital. King Nanzhao only He's just a puppet on strings, he can do whatever he's told.

"Sister, there is no need to worry about your father. My husband naturally has arrangements. He is too busy now. He will naturally explain it to you after he is done with his work."

After Cheng Luan saw Princess Yongning's ugly face, he immediately came over and held the girl's cold hand. This girl has grown up during this time. When she was in Nanzhao, she couldn't figure out what was going on here. The situation is like that of a growing girl, now much more mature than before.

If Cheng Yaojin was drunk like this in an ordinary son-in-law's house, he could have fallen asleep here, but this is the palace, and except for some people named Li, no one else can be here, even Li Xiang and Li Chengqian can only stay within the scope of the East Palace. If they want to enter the inner palace, they must have Li Shimin's waist card.

So no matter how drunk Cheng Yaojin became, he had to be sent back to his home. Li Xiang had someone send him back in his own carriage. This also gave Cheng Yaojin enough face. Many people around him were envious. It was a pity that he had None of us had thought of this step, and there was no suitable girl at home, so Cheng Yaojin took the lead. Both of his daughters were married to Li Xiang, and the queen and concubine were all booked...
