My country, you can pinch it

Emperor Shun actually didn't intend to come, but Liu Ke hit the snake with a stick. He just said that he felt sorry for him, so how could he slap his mouth and not give his son a face, so he had to come if he didn't come.

So I procrastinated, and only came in person when the banquet was almost ready.

The emperor's grace is so great!Seeing the emperor approaching with strides, everyone left the table to salute, and respectfully greet Sheng An!

"Father, you are finally here!"

Liu Ke had a delighted smile on his face. This was the first time that Emperor Shun saw him smiling at himself undisguised, which made his original reluctance disappear immediately.

Seeing this, Qin Hai hurriedly explained: "His Royal Highness Ning Wang, there are a lot of papers today, and the emperor finally finished the approval, so he came here in a hurry, but he is very worried about it."

Emperor Shun said, not as a reprimand, "Talk too much."

Liu Ke sneered at his pretentiousness in his heart, but turned his head with a little awkwardness on his face, "Thank you, father, if this is the case, I must ask my son to toast you two more glasses, and invite father to the table!" He turned sideways, handsome With the support of his father, his eyebrows and eyes became more confident and calm, and even the alienation faded a lot.

Emperor Shun smiled slightly when he saw this, he had no father-son affection for Liu Ke, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and he had to contradict him when they met, it was the first time that the brat who exploded his heart and lungs relied on him so much, Emperor Shun also It feels fresh, but I don't reject this short-lived fatherly kindness and filial piety, and Liu Ke led him to the main position.

Standing behind the minister, Shang Jinling saw the current emperor for the first time. Long Wei is very powerful, dressed in bright yellow, and looks extremely dignified. stand up.

When Yu Jia came to Prince Ning's mansion in person, the honorable ministers who had already been to the banquet for a round of food and drink immediately put their hearts back into their stomachs, and there was excitement in each other's eyes.And those who are still on the sidelines and vacillating, regret it.

As for Prince Duan's mansion, Prince Duan felt that he was hallucinating, "Father actually went too?"

The confidant showed difficulty, "Yes, the emperor is here."

Duan Wang murmured: "Is the father really going to make Liu Ke the crown prince?" He was not in the mood to drink, instead he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, "My king guessed wrong?"

King Duan is over half a hundred years old, and he knows Emperor Shun better than his two younger brothers.For no reason, the maid from more than 20 years ago sued the imperial concubine with unknown evidence. Not only did she win, but she even forced the imperial concubine to hang herself. If there was no emperor's order, it would be impossible.

But why did the emperor do this? Combined with Liu Ke's three pushes and four requests, and the phrase "being a son, Fang Xiaoti", it is not difficult to guess that this is Liu Ke's request to return to Beijing. The emperor was forced to avenge the queen's injustice .

With Emperor Shun's temperament, he did not want to, but acted forcefully. Liu Ke has violated the emperor's taboo, so even if it seems to be in the limelight now, King Duan is not afraid.

But today's move made King Duan puzzled.

"As soon as the father's wind blows, Lao Qi can stand firmly in the capital. It's only three days. It's a good job."

Emperor Shun's visit in person already gave Liu Ke a lot of face, so after toasting two glasses of wine, he headed back to the palace.

"Father, there are still many dishes not served, why don't you sit down for a while." Liu Ke earnestly begged to stay.

If Emperor Shun sat at the banquet, the whole capital would know that the Prince Ning had already confirmed was an honor given to him by himself without the Prince Ning's mansion making publicity.

Of course this is not possible, so the emperor stood up, "It's not easy to go out of the palace, so I won't stay any longer, so that you don't have a good meal." He casually said, "Ke'er, I will give you all the conveniences of the court, let go of your hands and feet, I just hope that you will wholeheartedly serve the country and the people, and share the worries of the court for me. Don't let me be like you two imperial brothers. Disappointed!"

Liu Ke bowed his head, bowed his hands and said: "I understand, I will send my father off respectfully."

Everyone got up together, and waited for Yujia to leave before looking eagerly at King Ning.

The latter just raised his eyebrows and sat down again, "Let's continue."

The ancient music silk and bamboo sounded again, the dancer's tender waist swayed gracefully, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Zhong Qi excitedly said to Shang Jinling: "Originally, my grandfather was worried that the emperor didn't love King Ning that much. Today, it seems that he is even worse than the King Jing back then. Those who hesitated and didn't come, I guess they didn't even come. My intestines are green with regret."

Shang Jinling smiled and nodded slightly.

The eldest grandson of Chang Guanhou couldn't help asking: "It sounds like the meaning, is the emperor going to hand over the power to King Ning?"

"Originally, they were called back for the New Deal. Don't look at the peace in our capital, but there are turmoil in the local area."

"This kind of mess, my father said it's not easy to clean up."

……

The sons who can be brought here for the banquet today are almost all the sons and daughters of the family who have devoted all their efforts to cultivating them. They are either the eldest son or the eldest grandson, and this is also to express their sincerity.

Shang Jinling listened for a while, and looked at Liu Ke involuntarily. The latter happened to pass through the table and met him, and then they nodded together.

So "pa pa pa pa", Liu Ke clapped three times, all the music and music stopped, and the dancers also lowered their eyes respectfully. After Xiao Tuanzi waved his hands, irrelevant people left one after another.

It is already late at night, and everyone has been sitting for almost two hours. Even the emperor came and left. He was really curious about the medicine in King Ning's gourd, and he couldn't wait any longer. Finally... the main show was about to start, and he felt refreshed , subconsciously set their eyes on the main seat.

Liu Ke put down the wine glass in his hand, "Today's dishes can be eaten by everyone, can you eat and drink well?"

Duke Ding laughed and said, "Tomorrow's New Year's Eve banquet may not have such dishes. It's really a real treat."

"Today's dance is also quite exotic, which is eye-opening." Yue Tinghou followed suit and praised.

Then everyone below agreed, everyone praised.

Liu Ke smiled, "That's good. If you neglect everyone, I will take the blame here first. It's getting late, so I will make a long story short for the next important thing."

Everyone sat upright, with an appearance of listening attentively.

"The news of all of you is comparable to this king in Yongliang. I must know the reason why my father called me back. Although I am sitting here today watching songs and dances and drinking fine wine, my heart has always been restless. Shengen, it's difficult to take on a big job, and I have failed everyone's expectations." Although Liu Ke said he was uneasy, the expression on his face was very calm, with an ambitious look.

As soon as this remark came out, there was naturally a lot of consolation underneath.

"His Royal Highness Ning is humble, even His Royal Highness can manage the chaotic place in Yongliang in an orderly manner, presumably the court is no problem."

"Exactly, speaking of the chaos in Yunzhou, if His Royal Highness Prince Ning hadn't rescued the siege, the New Deal would not have been dragged on by Yang Shenxing for so many years. I'm afraid it would have died a long time ago and ended without a problem."

"The Sansi Division has a bad reputation and everyone despises it, but it is a new law under the command of King Ning. I heard that it is full of praise in the northwest. Merchants have to praise it wherever they go. I have also heard about it. Now The common people are waiting for His Highness to bring a new atmosphere to the court and to rectify the name of the New Deal!"

Listening to these good words one after another, Liu Ke felt it was funny, so he couldn't help snorting, and said curiously, "Oh, so you are actually in favor of the New Deal?"

As soon as this remark came out, the surroundings immediately stagnated.

Most of them are honorable families here. When King Jing was under his command, they rushed to the front line of opposing the New Deal, because the New Deal hurt their interests the most.

"This king thinks that from your standpoint, you are the most opposed to the New Deal." Liu Ke looked at Ding Guogong with a half-smile, "But listening to me now, it doesn't seem to be the case?"

As a veteran lord, Ding Guogong has always been the vane of this circle. When asked by Liu Ke, he didn't know how to answer.

Do they want the New Deal to continue?Of course not, but King Ning is different from King Jing. The former made it clear that he wanted to implement the New Deal to the end. What else could they do?

It is better to damage some interests than to directly dissociate from the new king. They are sitting here today and have already prepared in their hearts.

Thinking of this, Duke Ding raised his hand and said, "His Royal Highness Ning Wang, this new policy was originally advocated by Mr. Gao Zixiu. What is Yang Shenxing, who thinks it is his own? Who can obey him? He was coerced by King Duan, and the new policy is under him It is impossible to succeed in the hands, so I naturally object."

This is a very high-sounding and righteous statement, but there is nothing wrong with it.

"Mr. Dingguo is very right. Although Gao Zixiu is gone now, his son is under your Highness's command. The director of the new law sees that the new law in Yunzhou is quite orderly. It can be seen that the tiger father has no dogs. We are naturally willing to support such a person who has the ambition of his father."

"Okay!" Liu Ke clapped his hands, "Do you all think so?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, "I will wait for His Highness to order."

Listening to this, Shang Jinling took a sip from the soup cup, thinking that the first thing was done.

Liu Ke smiled, "Since that's the case, I won't be polite, but I still have one concern."

"Your Highness, it's okay to say."

"In Yongliang, my king has always said one thing and no one objected to it. Only in this way can the new policy be unimpeded and the law be effective. But in the capital, after all, it is not so smooth..." He paused, and laughed, "This is also true. The reason why this king has repeatedly hesitated to return to Beijing!"

What he said was a bit out of the question, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what it meant, after all, the emperor had said it just before he left, and the court would let King Ning do whatever he wanted, so why worry?

Looking inquisitively at King Ning, the latter raised his glass and pretended to be tasting wine.

"Ling'er, what is the meaning of King Ning?" Zhong Qi couldn't help asking Shang Jinling. Someone is blocking it."

"But who will obstruct and not obey the holy order?"

"In the past, Master Yang was ordered by the emperor to carry out the New Deal, so he was struggling in the court?"

Why, King Jing made troubles in the open and in the dark, and there was some handwriting in it.

As soon as Shang Jinling finished speaking, the other end had already figured it out, but when King Ning said it today, it meant...

Suddenly, everyone present couldn't help being startled, this is to deal with Duan Wang!

"Your Highness..."

Liu Ke brushed off his clothes and stood up, retracting all his humility just now, raised his chin slightly, and said arrogantly: "Since this king is here in the capital, he is going to take over this business, so he won't allow anyone to get in the way. Since everyone is willing to share my worries , Then go back today and think about it, tomorrow night is the New Year’s Eve feast..." His eyes were sharp and aggressive, "I still remember that after the New Year’s Eve banquet six years ago, I got a good piece of money. The fiefdom, your help is indispensable in this!"

These words couldn't be more clear, King Ning couldn't even wait for the Spring Festival, and he was going to drive the only threatening prince out of the capital!

"Won't this anger the emperor?" Zhong Qi couldn't help asking, speechless.

Shang Jinling smiled and said: "Some things, if you don't fight for them yourself, you will never be able to wait for them in your life. The emperor must have to make some choices."
