After the throne ceremony, the Taiyuan Palace was always busy, with the palace maids and eunuchs dressing up on lights and preparing for the night banquet.

The two brothers Liu Chengxun and Liu Chengyou were also very busy. Liu Chengxun was added as an envoy of the Palace and temporarily handled the duty in the Taiyuan Palace. As for Liu Chengyou, after welcoming Li into the palace, he was temporarily appointed as the Imperial City Envoy and was ordered to select elite troops from the Jinyang army, enter the Taiyuan Palace, and guard the palace.

From Liu Zhiyuan's arrangement, we can see that what Liu Zhiyuan trusts most now must be his two sons. However, the selection of the imperial guards of the palace was unable to be completed in a short period of time. Liu Chengyou directly transferred elite troops from Xingjie and the second army of Wujie to the fourth battalion and the original personal guard capital to enter the imperial palace.

After Liu Chengyou finished the arrangements and the inspection was over, night was approaching. Unhurriedly, he left the palace and changed into a new regular dress, picked up Geng, and entered the palace for a banquet.

In the Taiyuan Palace, with the main hall as the center, there were already bright lights and crowds of people.

"Second brother, you are finally here!" Among the civil and military officials, Liu Chengxun looked red and looked at Liu Chengyou. When he saw him, he immediately came forward.

"Yeah!" Nodded to Liu Chengxun. Liu Chengyou wanted to smile, but maybe he had been autistic for a long time and couldn't laugh. However, Geng, for the first time, saluted Liu Chengxun nervously.

There was a seat for civil and military women, Liu Chengyou signaled to him, and Geng went there very obediently.

"Have the palace guards arranged all the way?" Liu Chengxun asked.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Chengxun. Liu Chengyou replied: "All of them are Xingjie, the elites in the Wujie two armies, please rest assured!"

After a haha, Liu Chengxun smiled and said, "Erlang has always been reassuring to do things..."

The two brothers said a few words and each took their seats. Liu Chengyou's emotions were extremely stable, but he couldn't help but feel something strange in his heart. His elder brother seemed to be interested in the "army".

The atmosphere in the hall seemed very lively, noisy, like a vegetable market. Shi Hongzhao and other military generals had already started eating at the table and the wine was drunk. Yang Bin and other civil officials were a little more reserved, but they were limited, but they all seemed quite excited.

When the new dynasty was first established, the economic structure was not yet perfect, especially the Hedong generals who occupied most of the main hall did not know how to abide by any etiquette. Like Shi Hongzhao, this guy probably had the merit of supporting him, and he could no longer restrain his arrogance. He drank wine but ignored his image.

Liu Chengyou was quiet and frowned in the face of such a noisy scene.

Until Liu Zhiyuan and Li appeared together, the hall quieted down and worshiped the two of them together.

Liu Zhiyuan was wearing a purple dragon robe. At this moment, his face was no longer as serious as usual, and he was full of energy, as if he was several years younger. Li also changed into a phoenix skirt and smiled slightly on his lips, which made him look even more elegant and luxurious.

Liu Zhiyuan seemed very tolerant of the wanton and rudeness of the ministers in the hall, probably because the joy of becoming emperor was enough to make him ignore these details. He waved his hand and let everyone stay calm and speak out and continue the banquet.

The atmosphere in the hall reached a climax from the beginning, and the civil and military people kept changing.

"Donalds!" Liu Zhiyuan stood up at the right time, held the wine glass, walked a few steps in the hall, and said, "I have been given a throne because I am so innocent. I will treat each other sincerely and support me. I would like to pay my respects to you here! I will all take up the wine glasses in your hands and drink this glass with me! Please!"

"Your Majesty, please!" The crowd was very proud and responded in a neat way.

After drinking a cup, a waiter immediately presented another glass of wine. Liu Zhiyuan became more excited. He looked around and said loudly: "Today, the Khitan still occupies the two capitals, the barbarians are rampant, and bandits are rampant. Just as we are determined to make progress, rectify the chaos and make achievements, I hope that all the officials will work together to help the world with their sincere desire to govern!"

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. With your leadership, you will definitely expel the captives, clear the world, and return the Chinese people to peace!" After Liu Zhiyuan finished speaking, Yang Bing immediately stood up to agree.

Liu Zhiyuan's face turned red: "I, I will respect you first!"

The king and his ministers drank warmly and harmoniously. Liu Zhiyuan did not continue to say some righteous words, but with the alcohol, he also expressed that the merits of the ministers were remembered in their hearts and would not disappoint each other. He also led everyone to look forward to the prospect of expelling the Khitan and pacifying the Central Plains, and so on.

Liu Zhiyuan is not good at speaking on weekdays and does not speak much. He improvised and said more, so he went back to his seat to drink briefly, and then ordered Liu Chengxun to toast the civil and military officials on behalf of him.

Liu Chengxun was a positive response and communicated enthusiastically with the civil and military officials of the New Dynasty. With the status of the eldest son of the emperor and the friendship during the period of the Bafu, he looked "like a fish in water".

In contrast, Liu Chengyou sat silently, pouring and drinking on his own.

Looking at the brother's smile and the noise of a banquet was filled with the noise of a banquet, Liu Chengyou's eyes suddenly became a little confused. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was very sure that he was just jealous.

He is low-key and high-profile. He has been working hard in front of Liu Zhiyuan and Hedong civil and military officials for a long time, but as a result, the one who is cared about and flattered to others is still the eldest brother Liu Chengxun.

A sour taste spreads in my heart...

However, not everyone ignored Liu Chengyou. There were not many people who toasted him, but their status was not as high as Yang Bin, Wang Zhang and others. However, there were not many people who were remembered by Liu Chengyou.

In addition to Zhang Yanwei, there were one Su Fengji, one Wang Jun, and two others who surprised him a little. Needless to say, Guo Wei was the other one, Liu Zhiyuan's confidant, Su Yugui, judge of Hedong Observation.

Su Yugui is not young, and he is a good man, and he looks like a pure and rich elder. This man comes from a scholarly family, has a family background, and is well-versed in Confucianism and etiquette. If there are a few outstanding people under Liu Zhiyuan's command, Su Yugui should be the leader.

Before, Liu Chengyou and Su Yugui had no friendship, but tonight took the initiative to toast and said some compliments. Zhang Ru and his slightly flattering expression on his face could not be hidden from Liu Chengyou's eyes. Liu Chengyou was naturally calm, but the elder took the initiative to show his kindness, but it was inconvenient to disobey his wishes.

"Your Highness, you don't seem to be very interested, why are you feeling unhappy?" Guo Wei drank all his glass and stayed for a while, and took the initiative to speak to Liu Chengyou. The change in his name was also very natural.

This behavior made Liu Chengyou surprised. He looked up at Guo Wei, and saw that his face was flushed and his eyes were divided into clear light, but he glanced at Liu Chengxun and his ministers in a subtle way.

"The emperor's father ascended the throne, the new dynasty was established, and the monarch, ministers, military and civilians were having fun together. I was so happy that I couldn't help myself..." After cheering up, Liu Chengyou raised his glass to invite him and said lightly.

Guo Wei responded naturally and chuckled: "Your Highness is right, but he is so confused that he is so drunk that he is confused and said the wrong thing."

After drinking the last sip of the wine in the glass, Liu Chengyou stared at Guo Wei and said seriously: "This Hedong civil and military man, who has insight into the world and is clear-headed, maybe you, General Guo!"

Liu Chengyou said "drunk words", but Guo Wei was stunned and shook his head quickly: "Your Highness has praised you, and you will not be able to treat me."

"By the way!" After a few words, the negative emotions in Liu Chengyou's heart were completely suppressed, and he suddenly stared at Guo Wei: "I heard that General Guo has three sons?"

"That's right." Guo Wei was a little puzzled.

"I lack talents under my command. I heard that the general's adopted son Guo Rong is cautious and honest, both civil and military, and is willing to give up and be transferred to my command?" Liu Chengyou said softly.

His eyebrows suddenly locked up, but looking at Liu Chengyou's face that was already calm, he was suspicious and hesitated less. Guo Wei still bowed: "It is a blessing for the dog to be able to do things under His Highness."

"Okay!" Liu Chengyou's voice was a little higher and he raised his glass again: "General Guo, please."

"Please, Your Highness."
