Tang's dining table

When Li Hong and Yun Chu set off to Da Nei to attend the royal banquet, Guo Daifeng was already drunk. Li Hong sent someone to place Guo Daifeng in the East Palace. He did not have a princess yet, so he could keep his foreign husband. Accommodation in the East Palace.

Xiao Siye, the imperial guard of the East Palace, watched eagerly as the prince and Yun Chu rode to the Tai Chi Palace together, with a total of two hundred people guarding them.

Yunchu also saw Xiao Siye.

It was Li Hong who specifically pointed it out to him. He hoped to recruit him into the Prince's Six Rates at a suitable time.

Li Hong did not take the car. After hearing that Li Ji's car was blown up, Li Hong decided to give up driving.

"Master, the feeling of suspecting that there is a bomb underneath as soon as you get in the car is really terrible.

I was still young and it was such a loss to die without doing anything. "

Yun Chu looked at the people around Li Hong, then looked at their positions, and said to Li Hong, "Do you want to feel the feeling of being assassinated?"

Li Hong shook his head and said: "No, it's best that this never happens."

Yun Chu said: "Don't think that you are very safe if you have two hundred people around you to protect you. Don't think that you will be safe if you don't ride in a car in the future. Don't even think that you can protect your safety just by relying on others."

Li Hong said: "But, I am the prince, so there is no need to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, right?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Do you know why my martial arts are so high?"

"I heard from Naha that it's because you are extremely talented, master."

"Shit is so talented. The reason why my martial arts skills are so high is entirely because I am afraid of death.

When we were in the Western Region, Naha and I were helpless. We had to become stronger if we wanted to survive.

Therefore, I never miss an opportunity to become stronger, and I will do anything to become stronger.

When I was weak, I couldn't defeat adults, so I used poison, then I took advantage of the terrain, and then I took advantage of agencies. Relying on force has been my thing since I became an adult.

So, tell me now, how can a sheep not be eaten by a wolf? "

"Grind your horns sharply and make your limbs strong. If that doesn't work, just turn into a wolf. If that doesn't work, give the other sheep to the wolf."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Look, your current strength lies in your mouth, and it is not yet ready to be implemented. Now that you have these ideas, you should try them when you have the chance to see which one has better effects."

Li Hong smiled and said: "If Chang'an County is also under the stewardship of the master, will the master be happy or unhappy?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "I will be very happy."

"Father doesn't seem to like ambitious people very much."

"My ambition for the city of Chang'an has never changed. Your master, my ambition started in Chang'an and will also end in Chang'an.

Being ambitious is not necessarily a bad thing, but we need to put shackles on our ambitions. If ambitions are not shackles, there will be a huge fire. "

Li Hong nodded. This was the court banquet he needed, instead of listening to Guo Daifeng's aimless boasting.

There is only one wall between the East Palace and the Tai Chi Palace. A long time ago, Li Chengqian entered the Tai Chi Palace through this Changle Gate.

Unfortunately, he only came in, and then all his men died here. Of the four thousand princes and six soldiers, not a single one survived.

When entering Taiji Palace through Changle Gate, Yunchu looked around at the terrain here, and then said to Li Hong: "This is a dead land."

Li Hong nodded but did not answer.

Tonight is a royal banquet. Yu Xiurong and Li Si were not invited originally. Later, for some reason, Yu Xiurong, Naha, and Li Si suddenly appeared on the banquet list.

Li Si's hair was sparse and her head was big. Some of the girl's decorations couldn't be inserted into it. She originally wanted to give the child a wig, but Li Si didn't like it because it was stuffy, hot and uncomfortable after wearing it. It was itchy, especially the large number of wigs in Yu Xiurong's hands, most of which were made of monkey hair, and Li Si couldn't wear them at all.

Tonight's occasion was different from the past. Li Si had to dress up in a noble manner so as not to attract ridicule from other royal women.

"No one dares to laugh at Sisi." Naha picked up a matchstick, bit it lightly and said to Yu Xiurong.

Yu Xiurong raised his head and glanced at Naha who had just bitten the matchstick. He immediately grabbed her ears and wiped the color off her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Your lips are pink and moist, and they are the prettiest. Why are you biting these things?" As Yu Xiurong spoke, she put a thick gold necklace on Naha's neck, and then put another one on Li Si. .

Naha wanted to take off the gold necklace with the jade lock. She thought it was heavy, silly, and ugly.

She wants to wear the East China Sea beads string given by her brother.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiurong put two beaded flowers on her and Li Si's heads. Naha's was a peach blossom branch, and Li Si's head was topped with a budding lotus. This thing was very big and could set off Li Si's big head. It's smaller, and best of all, this thing has straps on it that you can tie around your chin.

After the two little girls put on their elegant and quiet skirts, three maids immediately came over to help Yu Xiurong tidy up her bun.

This thing needs the help of wigs. After using a full two kilograms of wigs, Yu Xiurong's dangerous bun was ready.

Naha and Li Si were very envious of Yu Xiurong's makeup. It was really rich and colorful, not counting the two kilograms of wigs on her head, and she also had a golden hairpin, a phoenix hairpin, a pearl flower, and a golden side on the back of her head. fan screen.

After everything was packed up, the three people took the carriage of the Marquis Mansion and drove slowly to Tai Chi Palace amid the cries of the two children of the Yun family.

The lights in the Tai Chi Palace were brightly lit. Yun Chu followed Li Hong into the Tai Chi Palace and glanced casually, holding the horizontal knife on his waist, and found that the scene had become quiet.

Because in the entire hall, he was the only one fully armed, Yun Chu.

The petite Li Hong stood in front of him, so Yunchu, wearing armor, looked extremely strong.

The emperor and the queen haven't come yet, so Li Hong is naturally the biggest here, but Li Hong doesn't seem to be in the mood to deal with the royal people here. He coughs softly and sits on the first seat on the left hand side.

There were not many kings in the capital. King Ji Li Shen was considered the most noble prince under Li Hong, so his position was under Li Hong.

Yunchu didn't see the deposed prince Li Zhong, and he probably wouldn't see him again in the future. The then-prominent King Yong was now the little-known Poyang King Li Sujie. He seemed to be in very bad health, and he started to cough in a short period of time. Several times.

It seems that since Concubine Xiao Shu, the mother, died of illness, Li Sujie, the son, is also about to die of illness.

King Qi Li Shangjin was very sensible. When he saw the prince coming, he hurriedly left his seat and paid his respects to his younger brother Li Hong.

Li Hong also greeted Li Shangjin in a very graceful manner. After the two brothers said some words that even an outsider like Yun Chu found embarrassing, they returned to their seats.

Looking at Li Shangjin's back, Yunchu felt that he would never have the chance to deal with this person in the future.

Wu Mei had no good feelings for any son who was not born to her and wanted to get rid of him quickly.

Yun Chu took another look at the Li clan members present. He still felt that there was no need to deal with these people. Wu Mei would clean up the people in this hall in the future anyway.

When Xue Rengui and other ten warriors entered the Tai Chi Palace wearing armor, the hall became extremely quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.

Yun Chu keenly discovered that some people still started to cry, but they didn't dare to make a sound and just cried silently, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

More people's bodies were shaking like chaff.

Therefore, being a member of the royal family in the Tang Dynasty is not an enviable thing. During the two years of the army's expedition to Liaodong, Wu Mei led Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong did many things, among which the most important thing was The Li family genealogy was re-edited and Yuan Gui of the family was re-entered.

During the process of revising the Li family tree, many royal families disappeared from the genealogy. When the family tree was re-entered into the Yuangui family tree, many nobles also disappeared from it.

It's not just the names that have disappeared, for those who are unlucky, even the physical bodies have disappeared.

As the golden bell on the desk rang, Li Zhi entered the Tai Chi Palace surrounded by palace officials and eunuchs.

Li Zhi, who had just sat down, naturally looked at the first position on his right hand. That position was originally the untouchable position of Changsun Wuji. Today, sitting in that seat was the Prince Consort Captain Sun Chong.

"Is uncle feeling ill?"

Changsun Chong quickly raised his kneeling buttocks, cupped his hands and said: "I felt cold the day before yesterday, and this morning my body felt chilly. I originally wanted to come to Tai Chi Palace to talk about family ties with His Majesty, but unexpectedly, I felt heavy and fainted in the afternoon. I am drowsy, so in order not to bring my illness to Your Majesty, I sent a few ministers to accept Your Majesty's kindness."

Li Zhi raised his hand and said: "Come here, please order the Imperial Medical Office to go to the uncle's house to inquire about the illness. If necessary, the palace medicine storehouse can be used."

Changsun Chong bowed his hands and thanked him, then knelt down and sat on the first position on his right hand again, with his head lowered and nothing unusual could be seen.

Li Zhi then said to the eleven military generals surrounding the Taiji Hall who were wearing armor and guarding: "I call you dear friends here just for precaution, not for guarding. Come on, please show me your seats. "

Immediately, the palace eunuchs brought eleven sets of tables and chairs and placed them behind the seats of the royal family members. Because they were all wearing armor, it was not easy for them to kneel down, so they sat in the back and looked down at these royal family members who were pretending to smile. them.

Eleven warriors, that is, eleven bloodthirsty tigers. When these people sit in their positions and place the horizontal knives at their waists on the table, ready to explode at any time, it makes the timid among the royal relatives turn pale. .

In front of Yunchu is Prince Li Hong, and they are only one foot away from each other. If there is a change, Yunchu is confident that Li Hong will be placed within his protective circle.

Yunchu had seen a copycat painting called "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" before. The night banquet in that picture was obviously different from today's high-level banquet.

One is indulging in joy, the other is terrified.

It's a pity that Yan Liben can't be seen in this scene tonight. If he were here, he should be able to draw a better picture of the night banquet.

Chapter 2, see you tomorrow,
