After Murong Ling, Xiang Xiaoyu and others received the horses and settled the ghost sheep, they returned to the palace for the banquet.

At the banquet, Liu Jian and Xiao Qian were sitting at the main seat. On the left side of the guest seats were Li Xiaofei, Murong Ling, Murong Qing, Zhu Xuehua, Hong Rui, Xiang Xiaoyu, Meng Crow, and Huang Banxian. On the right side of the guest seat were Chen Kuan.

Coming down was Yi Beijiu and six other people.

Liu Jian spread his hands: "You are all my confidants. You are not familiar with each other yet. I am here to introduce you to you."

Liu Jian first introduced Li Xiaofei and others, and everyone on the opposite side bowed their hands and saluted.

Then he reached out to Chen Kuan and said: "This Lord Chen Kuan is the founding father of the Chen family army and the former general of our Daliang army. He is an expert at charging, marching, setting up formations, and raising food and grass."

Chen Kuan waited for Liu Jian to finish speaking, then stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, you have promoted me. I am just a veteran of Daliang. I was promoted by the imperial court and held a high position. I am really ashamed."

Liu Jian motioned Chen Kuan to sit down: "General Chen is too humble", and then pointed to Yi Beijiu: "This is Yi Beijiu, the hero of Shizhou. He is known as a cup of wine in the rivers and lakes. He is currently contacting heroes in the rivers and lakes to help our army.

"

Yi Beijiu clasped his fists and saluted: "Thanks to the grace of the prince, we have been pardoned. Now that we have the opportunity to serve the country, we should do our best."

Liu Jian introduced the next six people together: "These six are all six masters of Nanyang Academy. The master of the cave is Mr. Shen Yuanhao. He once worshiped Mr. Guigu Wang Qinian. Now he is in charge of Nanyang Academy and has disciples all over the country.

The world!"

Shen Yuanhao was dressed in white clothes and wearing a silk scarf, his face was reddish, he had thick eyebrows and he was eight feet tall. He looked like he was only in his forties. He immediately stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Jian Yuanhao, I only lost my life in troubled times. His Highness, the King of Han, raised me high.

Shen went to the prince's service this time just to do something for the people of the world."

Liu Jian came down and returned the greeting: "Master Shendong has recruited all the disciples from the academy to serve in the army, and also donated all his family property. This big beam owes you a lot!"

Shen Yuanhao bowed: "My lord, your words are serious. How can we settle down without a country?"

Next to Shen Yuanhao was the person with slender hair and slender fingers. He was the deputy cave master Tian Yuyin, who was proficient in music and could imitate the sounds of various animals.

Then there was a fat man in a loose robe and shaking a goose-feather fan. This was Xun Gongtai, the academy's main lecturer. He looked unattractive, but he could observe astronomy and geography. He could draw mountains, rivers, arteries and cities.

Next to the Xun Gong Terrace is Chen Zhengnan, the academy's lecturer. This man is thin and short, but he can imitate other people's handwriting, has good hand seals, and the characters in his paintings are lifelike.

The next two speakers were named Huang Chuanting, who was proficient in military strategy, strategy, and medical skills. His hands were above his knees and his face was as heavy as jujubes. The other was named Ma Yuanze, who was short and powerful, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He was proficient in farm techniques and had collected all kinds of medicine from all over the world.

Fruits, vegetables, rice seeds, and woodcrafts to build cars and boats.

After the introduction, the group toasted each other and chatted about world affairs. Li Xiaofei felt a little reserved when he saw that the people opposite him were all prodigies, while Murong Ling just poured his own drink. Meng Wuwu and Xiang Xiaoyu chatted happily with them.

Seeing the state of Li Xiaofei and Murong Ling, Liu Jian raised his glass and said: "Li Xiaofei and Murong Ling have just returned from Tuyuhun and been to Gaochang. Why don't we come and listen to what they have experienced, so as to open my eyes?"

"

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Qing, who had been whispering to Hong Rui, spoke first: "His Royal Highness, the two of them have done a lot in the past two years. Brother Ling led the troops to defeat Lu in Huangshui and Ganzhou.

Banner Khanate army, killed three

More than a dozen enemy generals! My Li Xiaofei led a thousand ghost sheep to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom. By the way, this Li Xiaofei is still our marching general in Tuyuhun? It seems that he is also the national protector general of the Gaochang Kingdom. I heard that he was originally in

Liang Guo

He is also a Taifu. He is really good at taking advantage, working as an official and marrying wives everywhere."

The words made everyone laugh, but Shen Yuanhao stood up and spoke: "Your Majesty, a loyal minister has nothing to do with the two masters. Mr. Li can only have one title. How can he be an official in all countries? Is it possible for Mr. Li?

How many parts should loyalty be divided into?"

Liu Jian smiled: "This Li Xiaofei is from Daliang, so he is naturally loyal to Daliang. In ancient times, Su and Qin were prime ministers of the Six Kingdoms, and it was nothing for Li Xiaofei to be an official in the Three Kingdoms. What's more, Tuyuhun also lent soldiers and horses to Daliang."

However, Shen Yuanhao refused to give up: "Your Majesty, I am not targeting Mr. Li. I have just met Mr. Li, but it is a matter of great righteousness that cannot be ignored. In the future, if we and Tuyuhun encounter each other in war, this Li

Which side are you on, sir?"

Liu Jian continued to smooth things over: "Now we are still working together to regain the mountains and rivers. What will happen after this is still far away. If that day comes, it will be a good thing. After all, we are still separated from Tuyuhun by Guanzhong. Since there will be a day when we meet in arms,

Doesn’t it just mean that we have taken Guanzhong? The Lord of Cave Trial is really good at talking, this is a good sign! Come, let’s drink this cup together.”

Liu Jian said that for this reason, Shen Yuanhao had no choice but to raise his glass and drink without further investigation.

But this name was remembered by Hong Rui and Murong Qing respectively.

The opponent was coming fiercely, so Li Xiaofei was naturally not to be outdone, so he raised his glass and toasted to Shen Yuanhao: "I will always remember the teachings of Cave Master Shen. I have never read any books since I was a child. If I want to invest in Cave Master and the other five now,

If you want to study under a great master, Cave Master Shen won’t refuse, right?”

Shen Yuanhao smiled slightly but did not raise his glass: "The academy's rules are very strict, not to mention that Mr. Li has passed the age of study, and Mr. Li has a high position and authority, so I am afraid that the academy will not dare to teach."

Li Xiaofei drank all the wine in his glass: "Master of the Cave Cave, Sage Confucius said that there is no distinction between religion and distinction. Yan Hui, Zi Lu, and Zeng Shen were all accepted by Sage Confucius, but I, a man from a pariah background, refused to accept the entrance.

Otherwise, I’m afraid it’s not in line with the saint’s ideas.”

Shen Yuanhao didn't take Li Xiaofei seriously at first, thinking he was just a military commander. He didn't expect that he could speak like a sage, so he raised his glass with both hands and drank: "The academy always follows the teachings of the sages, but pays more attention to the word etiquette.

The first time the adults spoke, we agreed wholeheartedly.

, doesn’t it seem that we are too ignorant of etiquette? Your Excellency is both civilized and military, and your Excellency is willing to submit to the Academy. Our Academy is flourishing. But now it coincides with the national crisis. After the world stabilizes, if the Academy is still there, Your Excellency will become famous.

It’s not too late to come back then!”

Liu Jian laughed happily in his seat: "Okay, okay, great. It seems that they are all powerful people, and they are all good at talking. Once the world is stable and successful, I will be successful! I have everyone to help me, so there is no need to worry about the failure of big things!"

Chen Zhengnan hurriedly raised his glass to propose a toast to Liu Jian: "I wish the prince to rule the world and rule all nations!"

"Ahem, Zhengnan, this is inappropriate. After the prince has conquered the world, he should imitate the Duke of Zhou as regent and assist the young master!" Shen Yuanhao interrupted Chen Zhengnan.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. This was what worried Liu Jian the most. Everyone knew that the little emperor was in his palace, and Liu Jian was giving orders on all military and government affairs. But even if they wanted to make this child the emperor, they would not let Liu Jian be called the emperor.

emperor.

Liu Jian had no choice but to force a smile: "Haha, I will assist your majesty to become a wise king as a sage like Duke Zhou!"

At this time, Xiang Xiaoyu stood up: "The world is stable in the hands of the prince, and the lost land will be recovered in the future by the prince. This prince has conquered the country again, what's wrong even if he takes the throne? There is still an inch of land in the world today.

Is it from Daliang? If the prince hadn't been here, I'm afraid Jiangnan Shuzhong would have repaired the watch and sent it to Jinling!"

Everyone was silent for a while, Murong Ling arrived at this time haha

He laughed and everyone looked at him.

Murong Ling stood up and drew a circle on the table with her chopsticks: "As soon as this cake was drawn, you started fighting. If you win this fight, you will be invincible?"

Xun Gongtai also stood up and retorted: "What the grand master said is wrong. If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. We all know that King Han is in charge of the overall situation, otherwise we would not come to join him. But after all, the status of monarch and minister has been decided long ago."

Now that we have established ourselves as emperor, we will first make ourselves look like traitors, and we will lose the morale of the people before we fight!"

Murong Ling still wanted to speak, but Liu Jian stood up and gestured for them to sit down: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. I will only be the Duke of Zhou and will not proclaim the emperor. Besides, the emperor is taken care of by us and my wife, and we have been as close as a family for a long time."

, His being the emperor is only beneficial to me!"

Seeing what Liu Jian said, everyone praised him: "Your Majesty is noble, upright, kind and virtuous. We are willing to follow you to the death!"

"Your Majesty will be the Duke of Zhou, and we will be the virtuous and loyal ministers who will help the world!"

"I hope you all will be included in the list of meritorious officials in Qilin Pavilion in the future!"

The banquet finally ended successfully, Li Xiaofei and Murong Qing followed Hong Rui back home.

The two women sat down together: "Li Xiaofei, get me a glass of water quickly!"

Li Xiaofei quickly went to bring two glasses of water. The two of them took them and put them next to him. Li Xiaofei also sat down: "It's getting late. I packed up for bed earlier today. I'll take Youran to sleep with me today."

Hong Rui coughed, and Li Xiaofei quickly asked: "Did Madam catch a cold due to the wind?"

Murong Qing also leaned on the table with his head in his hands: "Xiao Fei, I have a headache."

Li Xiaofei reached out to touch Murong Qing's forehead again: "It's not hot, maybe it's because you're too tired."

Hongrui covered her chest and lay on her stomach: "My chest hurts so much."

Li Xiaofei twisted his neck and reached out to press Hong Rui's chest: "I'll call the doctor right away!"

Just as Li Xiaofei was about to go out, the two women shouted together: "Li Xiaofei, stop, come back!"

Li Xiaofei had no choice but to turn around: "Don't you have a headache and chest pain? Why doesn't it hurt anymore?"

Hongrui chuckled: "We just want to tease you, a fool, and see how you cope with two wives at home?"

Murong Qing also smiled: "Stop frowning. Youran is the oldest in this family, my sister is second, I am third, and you are last. We sisters will not fight for status like those scholars who have nothing to eat but have nothing to do.

, as long as you are nice to us, it will be fine. My sister and I can both take care of you. You are about to go to war again. Who knows how many years you will be away?"

Hongrui added: "Now that I'm gone, I'm afraid I'll have to be the consort again, and then it will be three women in one drama!"

Li Xiaofei chuckled: "You guys gang up to deal with me, see if I don't deal with you well these days!"

Hong Rui and Murong Qing immediately grabbed Li Xiaofei's ears. Hong Rui said first: "I'll give you some color and I'll think of God. It's a beautiful thought. You can read and read with me at home these days, and I'll give it to you."

Talk about the great road of the world. You come and take Youran to bed at night! If you don’t read well, I’ll slap you on the left cheek. If you don’t handle the child well, I’ll slap you on the right cheek!”

"I will take care of the child. Can you not read the book? Please spare me!" Li Xiaofei begged.

"What a beautiful idea. If my sister doesn't fight me, I will fight. If you don't read, read, and learn how to govern the country, how can you spend your whole life fighting in the border areas?" Murong Qing also wanted Li Xiaofei to study, so Li Xiaofei had no choice but to agree.
Chapter completed!
