Li Shimin felt that since the purpose of this trip had been achieved, it was time to go back. He stood up and said to Su Chen:
"Boy, we have to go back to Chang'an. Brother Qin's family must be waiting anxiously."
Everyone stood up and prepared to see them off.
"Uncle, it's almost time for dinner. Why don't you eat before leaving!" Su Chen smiled and tried to keep him.
Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and others who had just stood up sat back down without any prior arrangement.
"Okay, let someone prepare lunch! Make it richer so that Brother Qin can replenish his body!"
Li Shimin answered without any consideration.
"Uh... OK."
"Wang Chao, let's start lunch early today. Let someone prepare more wine and food!"
Su Chen was caught off guard by Li Shimin's sudden turn.
...
Only Su Chen and Xue Rengui, two younger generations, were at Li Shimin's table. Others were unwilling to sit at the same table with Li Shimin.
It was too awkward and he couldn't let go.
"Hey, second brother, you have to taste this imperial wine. This wine is brewed by Su Xiaozi."
Cheng Yaojin smiled and filled a cup for Li Shimin and Qin Qiong. Of course, he couldn't leave it behind. As for Lao Hei, what does it have to do with him?
"Oh, then I must taste it!"
Qin Qiong raised the wine cup and gestured to Li Shimin, then took a sip.
Hiss~!
"What a strong wine, this wine looks so clear, very wonderful!"
Qin Qiong has been ill, and he doesn't know what happened in the past six months.
Not to mention some things about Su Chen, he didn't know that Qin Huaiyu came here, Cheng Yaojin and his partners sold wine, and Qin Qiong also counted for it.
Why he called him 'Second Brother Qin' is a respectful title for his loyalty.
Cheng Yaojin didn't drink too much this time, but just clinked a few glasses with Xue Rengui. He and Lao Hei were responsible for protecting the emperor's safety.
Although I haven't seen Xue Rengui's drinking capacity, I have seen his appetite.
However, no one would make fun of him for this, and some even thought it was a sign of ability.
If he didn't have extraordinary abilities, how could an average person eat so much?
Xue Rengui didn't shy away from saying that he wanted to join the army, but was later kicked out because of his big appetite.
This made Cheng Yaojin and several other generals very angry, and they cursed at him.
I really want to beat that fool up.
He almost buried a talent.
...
Not long after the meal, Li Shimin and others prepared to return to Chang'an City.
"Boy, let those guys go home today and come back tomorrow. The mansion has had some tables and chairs made, which will be delivered later."
"Someone will also prepare the food for tomorrow's banquet."
"You don't have to be polite. It doesn't cost much, less than 10,000 strings of cash."
Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Okay, uncle, I will give all the expenses to mother at that time."
He was alone and didn't understand the engagement process or anything like that. He didn't even think about adding tables and chairs. His mother-in-law really took good care of his affairs.
When Li Shimin heard this, it was not good!
"Your mother doesn't care about these financial matters, just give it to me directly."
"Also, since you have accepted the statements of those noble families, you might as well invite them to participate on the day of the engagement. I will arrange it."
After Su Chen thought for a while, he felt that it was right, so he readily agreed.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, uncle."
Li Shimin had his own plans, and he believed that Su Chen should be able to calm those noble families.
Because the two most powerful families have been suppressed by Su Chen.
If these families can run their own family businesses in the future, pay taxes, and not go against the royal family.
Li Shimin didn't want to touch them either, after all, their existence has its reasons.
It is not necessarily a good thing for all the families to be destroyed. If one family is destroyed, there will still be many families.
Li Shimin saw that Su Chen did not intend to give money now, Li Shimin still saved some face and did not let Su Chen take the money.
It's better to have some face.
"Today's matter is over, I will go back to Chang'an."
Li Shimin smiled and patted Su Chen on the shoulder. What a good child, but he just doesn't get it.
Then he turned to look at Xue Rengui and nodded in appreciation.
"You are not bad, you will do great things in the future."
...
After that, Li Shimin got on the carriage first, and the four of them left the manor.
Still an honest man who doesn't talk, Lao Hei drives the carriage.
"Brother Qin, what do you think of Xue Rengui?"
Qin Qiong thought for a moment. Actually, he couldn't say that he knew Xue Rengui very well. He only knew that he was strong and good at martial arts. He had a bold personality and a big appetite!
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, you should wait until Su Chen understands your Majesty's identity before letting him get in touch with the pharmacist."
Thinking of Li Jing, Qin Qiong smiled even more.
"Very good! The pharmacist has been doing nothing for more than half a year,"
Li ShiMin's eyes lit up, this is a good idea!
"Zhijie, tell your second brother about some of Su's situation and some recent events."
Earlier, when they were at the wine table, Su Chen happened to leave for a short time, and Qin Qiong wanted to ask how Su Chen cured him, who was about to die.
But Cheng Yaojin told him that Su Chen would pick the stars from the sky in the future.
Don't ask him how he did it.
Compared with Xue Rengui, he was more curious about Su Chen.
Cheng Yaojin immediately moved to Qin Qiong's side and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Hehe, second brother, I'm telling you..."
Qin Qiong elbowed Cheng Jin in the chest, "You, just talk properly, get out of here!"
"Hehe! It's been a long time since I talked to my second brother."
"Second brother, listen to me..."
Cheng Yaojin's mouth was full of foam, and he kept talking, and what he said was vivid.
Most of it was true.
Li Shimin fell into a dozing state, but he was also listening.
Hearing Cheng Yaojin exaggerating, he was too lazy to say anything.
…
The Imperial Palace.
Taiji Hall.
Soon, the four of them came to the Imperial Study together. Only Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were discussing things.
Du Ruhui was not there.
Seeing Li Shimin coming in, the three of them stood up to greet him.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin waved his hand. He knew that they were going to greet Qin Qiong.
"Shubao, you have recovered. Congratulations!"
"Shubao, it's been a while!"
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji came forward to greet him with a smile, and Wei Zheng just bowed and congratulated him according to the usual etiquette.
"Xuanling, Fuji, Xuancheng, thank you for your concern. Shubao will remember it."
Except for Wei Zheng, they were all old acquaintances of the Qin Palace, and even knew each other earlier. If it were normal, they would not be so polite.
Qin Qiong had been ill for more than a year before, and now he had just recovered from a serious illness, so he was inevitably excited.
Li Shimin sat there and waited for them to finish their greetings, then said to Changsun Wuji:
"Xuanling and Fuji, please prepare a list of ministers to attend the boy's engagement banquet tomorrow, and make it clear that they must not reveal their official ranks and identities."
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and I have not yet settled some accounts with that boy!"
Li Shimin always remembered the nicknames that Su Chen gave him behind his back.
"In addition, prepare thirteen invitations to those noble families, and send them in the name of Su Chen. The engagement that boy mentioned should belong to the six rites of betrothal. You can arrange the others as you see fit, and send one to the Wang family as well."
Li Shimin only planned to invite some people who were truly loyal to him, and Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji knew all of them.
"Minister, obey your order!"
Li Shimin thought for a moment, then looked at Cheng Yaojin, "Given that kid's personality, he will definitely invite the villagers and guards from the manor to attend the banquet. The number of people should be no less than a thousand. Make arrangements tomorrow. Understand?"
Cheng Yaojin bowed and assured, "Hehe, Your Majesty, don't worry, I guarantee it will be foolproof!"
Li Shimin nodded and said no more.
"Kid, let's see how I can get back my position!"
