After talking for half an hour, Guo Hao also felt dry and tired.

However, his speaking skills are better than that of Mr., and many people like him and don’t want him to leave.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry. Guo still has something to do today. I'll accompany you all the lords upstairs. If you have the chance another day, Guo will be on stage. I hope everyone will support you more!"

After Guo Hao said this, they had no reason to stop Guo Hao. Guo Hao gave the husband an encouraging look and asked him to continue talking.

Back upstairs, Guo Hao apologized to everyone and said, "I am unable to accompany you, so please forgive me."

King Qi waved his hand and said, "What's the matter? If you are tired, let him take a break. This is also human nature. If you can tell him, it means you are kind and generous."

"Thank you for your praise from King Qi. I dare not take it for a long time. I have sat there for a whole morning. I believe that all the adults are hungry. I have prepared a banquet, so I will bring it up."

Everyone was indeed a little hungry after hearing this. They stayed here all morning and drank a stomach full of water, which really helped to cleanse the stomach and intestines.

Guo Hao clapped his hands and immediately Xiao Si ran to the opposite side, removing the refreshments and fruits here, and the prepared food was continuously served, very rich.

When the wine and food were served, Guo Hao asked someone to pour wine for you, and then raised his glass and said, "You can come today. First of all, I would like to thank the King of Qi. Guo Hao will give you a cup of Qi first!"

As he said that, he drank it all, King Qi smiled and took a sip. Guo Hao poured the second glass of wine and said to Song Qiqiu: "Song Xiang can come today, so I really want to make the shop famous. I will do this first!"

Next were Feng Yansi, Feng Yanlu, Wei Cen, Cha Wenhui, Li Zhenggu and Guo Hao toasted one by one, and everyone was very satisfied with his attitude.

The gentleman downstairs talked for a while before going to rest. The literati were arranged opposite him, and only the people upstairs were left in Juxian Pavilion.

"You are a young man, but this teahouse is interesting."

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, everyone was a little drunk and their true colors gradually revealed.

Guo Hao responded with a smile and said, "Thank you all for your appreciation today. I don't have any other abilities. If you like to drink tea, you will cover it all in the future."

The King of Qi and the adults smiled and nodded. In their opinion, these teas were not worth much money. What was rare was Guo Hao's heart. Guo Hao was also under pressure when he had sex with so many ministers at once, but he rushed together and had to go there even if he had to bite the bullet.

After finally serving everyone away, it was already afternoon. Seeing everyone leaving, Guo Hao's drunkenness disappeared and he collapsed on the chair. Qiu Nan quickly brought him a bowl of quenching soup.

When I drank the wine soup, I saw that Chen Lin was carried back. Several great figures led by King Qi supported him. Those literati did not dare to underestimate him. Chen Lin was once glorious.

Although I was drinking Jiangnan sweet wine, the momentum was still quite large. Guo Hao felt a little headache. Thinking about what happened today carefully, it was still too smooth, and he always felt that he had ignored something.

So Guo Hao called Shen Feng and asked, "After you all come, are there anyone else coming outside?"

"Yes, there are two carriages, one parked at the door and no one got off, and the other walked halfway and went back."

Guo Hao felt a little moved, as if he knew what the problem was, and said, "Send someone to inquire immediately, who the two carriages are, and tell me immediately if there is any news."

"yes!"

Shen Feng asked someone to go and ask, there were still people in the teahouse, and there were no big shots, the atmosphere became lively, and the husband's condition improved a lot.

Guo Hao felt a little noisy, so he returned to the backyard. Qiunan saw him frowning, so he helped him massage his temples.

Half an hour later, Chen Feng came back.

"Mr. Guo, I found out that the two carriages were from Xiao Yan and Xiao, and the other was from Han Xizai and Han!"

When Guo Hao heard these two names, he felt a little unfamiliar, but he had already remembered something, that was, when Li Jing, the middle-level king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there was a dispute over the crown prince!

The battle between the crown prince has always been very dangerous, and Li Jingsui happened to be one of the protagonists, and the other is King Li Hongji of Wu!

In addition to Li Jing's wishes, this struggle was naturally inevitable with the help of the ministers. Li Jingsui was actually unwilling to enter the Eastern Palace, but he was still the crown prince for thirteen years.

Brothers and brothers, such things rarely happen, and even if there is one, there are few good endings, and they are usually bloody.

As Li Hongji's son, the throne was originally his, but he didn't want him to be the crown prince, and there are many reasons.

Li Hongji was taciturn and had military talents. The Southern Tang Dynasty is still very powerful now. If he had become the emperor, he might have the chance to win the Central Plains.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Li Jing did not want him to be the emperor, and later the Later Zhou Dynasty did not want to see a strong monarch, otherwise Li Yu would not have had anything to do.

Before he knew it, Guo Hao had been wrapped in the vortex, and he had been branded as King Qi, but this result was not what Guo Hao wanted, nor what King Qi wanted.

Feng Yansi and others are called "Five Ghosts". Historical evaluation is treacherous ministers, but Guo Hao thinks they are not necessarily treacherous ministers, but they have different positions.

Xiao Yan and the others supported Li Hongji, which seemed to be upholding orthodoxy. Later, Li Hongji killed Li Jingsui, and he was sentenced to death by Li Jing. Both capable monarchs died, leaving only one poet Li Yu.

But is this result they want, maybe, maybe not.

But no matter who becomes the emperor, they actually bet again. If they win the bet, the price will double, and if they lose the bet, they may not necessarily suffer much loss, because they know Li Jingsui's character.

In this struggle, the biggest victim was not Li Jingsui or Li Hongji, but the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was their struggle that ruined the country's luck.

Guo Hao is now involved in this whirlpool. It is too late for him to withdraw, unless he can give up the tea business and give up this big cake.

After thinking about it, Guo Hao felt that he had to do something. Originally, he didn't want to become an official in the court, but now it seems that it is not impossible to be an official, because only by becoming an official can he have the opportunity to meet Li Jing.

...

The next morning, Li Jing sat upright in the hall, and the civil officials and military generals were arranged. The civil officials were mainly Song Qiqiu, and the military generals were Li Jingsui, but several generals were inclined toward Li Hongji.

"My dear friends, can you have this memorial?"

Li Jing asked, and then Li Hongji walked out and bowed, "Is there any foundation for my son?"

When Li Jing saw this, he raised his hand and said, "Hongji, what's wrong with you?"

"I have reported to my father and son, and I have received news that the Khitan went south, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, and the Central Plains were empty. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Our Tang Dynasty can lead our troops north, compete for the Central Plains, and achieve a foundation for thousands of years!"

When he heard that Li Hongji was going to send troops north, some military officers were eager to try. It was too easy to be an emperor in the Central Plains since the end of the Tang Dynasty. As long as he had some strength, he could feel the taste of the emperor.

But Li Jing didn't think so, and he just heard him say, "Although Jin State is king, the governors of all parties are still there, and they will not let us pass by easily.

Besides, the Khitan Lord is still in Daliang. At this time, our troops are equivalent to being an enemy of the Khitan. Even if we become the lord of the Central Plains, we must always be wary of the Khitan. Military soldiers are everywhere, and the people will suffer!”

After Li Jing finished speaking, some ministers who were in charge of peace nodded and said that the proportion was greater than that of the main battle. Li Hongji had no choice but to retreat to his position.

"Although we do not send troops, we still need to defend. The Qinghuai Army, Dingyuan Army and other border vassal states must defend well to prevent the invasion of the north!"

"I will obey the order!"

After talking about external matters, it was time to discuss internal matters. Li Jing said: "My dear friends, what else can I do? Come quickly."

When Li Jing saw the big news, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have recently visited the people and found a scholar from the North who is quite talented.

I think this person is used by our dynasty to win people's hearts, set an example for the scholars who fled from the northern country, select good talents for our Tang Dynasty, and enrich the strength of the Tang Dynasty."

Since ancient times, Li Jingsui only wanted to choose some talents for the country, but he didn't think so much about it.

But when Li Jing saw his younger brother, he smiled and said, "The King of Qi is intent. The person you think is definitely not wrong. Then let him go to the Hanlin Academy to be an intern!"

The Hanlin Academy here was not the later Hanlin Academy, but the Hanlin Academy that was passed down from the Tang Dynasty. The so-called worship was just a ninth-rank small official, equivalent to a royal literati and had no rights.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, who is kind, wise, lenient, and polite, and polite. He is a wise monarch."
