Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 125 Banquet in the Fuchu
Chapter 162 Banquet in the Fuchu
Theoretically speaking, today's banquet should be specially used by Cheng Yaojin to apologize for beating up the dignitaries before.

However, the dignitaries had just let go of the hatred in their hearts, and Cheng Yaojin's casual ridicule instantly ignited the anger in the hearts of the literati.

Cheng Yaojin was not a religious man. When he heard someone scolding him, he didn't care about what kind of apology banquet it was, and started shouting curses at Fang Xuanling and others. Both sides kept chattering.

"Cough cough, stop!"

Gao Shilian, the oldest person with seniority, finally couldn't bear it any longer. They are all dignified figures in the court, but now he is cursing like a shrew in front of a junior, not to mention that this junior is still a prince. If it is spread, wouldn't it be It's ridiculous.

Gao Shilian had a profound influence in the court. As soon as he opened his mouth, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and others all closed their mouths, snorted bitterly, and glared at each other.

Gao Shilian stroked his beard, looked at Li Chengqian meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Chengqian, although your uncles are a bit bold, they are generally regarded as normal people, so don't be surprised."

Everyone: "…"

I suspect you are swearing, and there is evidence.

Literati such as Fang Xuanling had read the books of sages and knew what shame is. After being ridiculed by Gao Shilian, they immediately lowered their heads and dared not say anything more.

On the contrary, Cheng Yaojin's generals carried out the spirit of shamelessness very thoroughly. After hearing Gao Shilian's words, instead of being ashamed, they raised their heads up, as if "I am the best in the world".

Inheritance arched his hands, "Uncle and grandpa were joking."

"Ha ha…"

Gao Shilian looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and there was a bit of inquiry in his eyes, "A few years have passed, and you have indeed grown up. From this point of view, the muddy water in Chang'an is really not suitable for you. Treat yourself well in Qianzhou." Come on, here in Chang'an, there is an old man supporting you."

"Grandpa..."

Li Chengqian's heart moved, and when he was about to speak, Gao Shilian waved his hand and said, "Forget it, drink and drink, today is a banquet organized by Duke Lu to apologize, and we only talk about romantic affairs, not state affairs."

"Drink drink drink..."

As soon as they heard about drinking, Cheng Yaojin and the others didn't care to get angry, and started drinking from the glass directly.

The entire front hall of Cheng Mansion was instantly filled with a happy atmosphere.

Next, taking advantage of his drunkenness, Li Chengqian found that Cheng Yaojin kept bringing the topic to him, but in fact there was nothing to talk about, just a few simple greetings.

At first, except for Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling, the rest didn't pay much attention.

It wasn't until the climax of the drink that Li Ji and the others finally agreed.

Most of them are praising Li Chengqian, saying that he has done too many things in the past two years, and even changed the entire Tang Dynasty.

Although they have been fighting openly and secretly in the court, in general, they still think about the interests of Datang.

So for Li Chengqian, although they didn't say it clearly, they still admired him from the bottom of their hearts, but this kind of admiration could not be stated clearly for various reasons.

Anyway, it is a private banquet now, and the content of the speech will not be spread out, so everyone dares to boast boldly.

And it wasn't until this moment that Li Chengqian suddenly understood, and finally understood Cheng Yaojin's intentions.

The reason why he suddenly entertained all the ministers was an apology, and the other reason was that he wanted Li Chengqian to get involved with these powerful veterans.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but glanced at Cheng Yaojin gratefully. To be honest, he didn't have much contact with Cheng Yaojin, and every time he was in a state of intoxication, so he really didn't have a deep impression of Cheng Yaojin.

But now, he realized that Cheng Yaojin had a reason for doing so many things. At least after a persistent stalking, Li Chengqian's relationship with these powerful people seemed to be getting closer.

Soon, everyone drank the two jars of wine, but Cheng Mansion was definitely not short of wine. Cheng Yaojin clapped his hands, and several servants came in with wine.

"Drink, drink... good wine, it's really comfortable to drink!"

Li Ji held a jug of wine, gulped down two gulps, his expression extremely happy.

After taking a few sips of wine, Li Ji held his breath and his face turned red. After a while, he exhaled and glanced at Cheng Yaojin, "Mr. Willing to take it out."

"This wine was given to me by His Majesty when the Turks were defeated. It has been preserved for so many years, and it is time to take it out."

Cheng Yaojin's face showed a hint of reminiscence, as if he was recalling his life of fighting on horses.

But immediately, he sighed, "Oh, Li Ji, I'm quite envious of you for this expedition. Another great contribution has been made to you."

"Pooh!"

Li Ji curled his lips and ignored him, but handed an extra-large wine bowl to Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness, let me have a drink. This wine is toasted to you by the old man. If it is not for you, I am afraid that my Tang Dynasty will die countless soldiers, and the conquest may not be successful."

"With your good strategy, we will be as good as walking on the ground when our elite soldiers enter the territory of Goguryeo, and those thieves and rebels who killed will throw away their helmets and armor!"

"Come, consider this glass of wine as a toast to you on behalf of the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, and he looked at the big bowl of wine in front of him... If he drank it down, he might die.

"British lord, this... I don't know how to drink..."

Li Chengqian pursed his mouth and refused to drink anything.

"Hi, Your Highness, I watched you grow up, if you don't drink, I will help you..."

Li Ji stroked his beard and said something that left Li Chengqian speechless.

Another guy who watched himself grow up...

A very bad habit. Li Chengqian felt that any powerful veteran would definitely say this in his first sentence.

"I'll drink. Isn't it okay if I drink?"

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and drank the wine bowl in one gulp.

Of course, he also played tricks in this. When drinking, his mouth is like a colander, and he leaks it while drinking. A large bowl of wine will not exceed two taels in his mouth.

For Li Chengqian, he could still yell at this little wine, so his expression didn't change at all.

Seeing his appearance, Li Ji couldn't help but nodded, and said with a big smile, "Okay, he's a straightforward person. I used to want to whip you, so I'll do it for the sake of this bowl of wine, so I won't!"

Li Chengqian: "..."

No wonder, no wonder since the moment I entered the door, I was always restless, so there was still this problem.

Turning his head to look at Niu Jinda and the others, he found that their expressions were similar to Li Ji's, and they must have been eager to twitch towards Li Chengqian.

It's okay, it must be because they are more handsome, so they are reluctant to smoke.

Sure enough, appearance is still very important.

Li Chengqian smiled in his heart, then raised his head and began to look at them.

Hmm... They are all a group of guys who are not good-looking, and I really stand out among the crowd!
