Now, Xia Houyuan was in a bad mood, and only Xia Houdun could go up and try to persuade him.
"Even if you laugh, it's just a forced smile. Why bother." Regarding Xiahou Dun's words, although Xia Houyuan could listen to them, he really couldn't laugh, and when he did, it turned out to be a bitter smile.
"Alas. Here's a toast to you for my brother's sake."
Seeing this, Xiahou Dun sighed, raised the wine glass on the table, and said to Xia Houyuan.[
"Thank you, brother." Xia Houyuan thanked him, raised his glass and drank.
Xia Houyuan was unhappy here. On the other side, Dong Cheng and Liu Bei walked in from the outside. The civil and military officials raised their fists to see him, and Liu Bei and Dong Cheng also responded meticulously, which was very decent.
Soon, the greetings were completed. The two sat down separately. In fact, their identities were almost the same, one was a general of cavalry and the other was a general of the left.
The seats are just slightly staggered.
"Long time no see, Xuande looks very good. Here's a toast to you." Seeing Liu Bei come in, Guo Jia raised his glass with a strange look in his eyes.
"How dare you disobey me when I propose a toast to you?" Liu Bei said with a smile and raised his glass.
Immediately, the two drank a drink from a distance.
In fact, this was supposed to be an episode between the two of them. But in this hall, it was no longer an episode.
"Liu Bei."
Cheng Yu felt cold in his heart. Unlike Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng completely fell out with Liu Xie, and he had no ambitions and had never been a prince.
But Liu Bei is different. Although Liu Bei also fell out with Liu Xie, he himself served as the governor of Xuzhou and was a polite and virtuous corporal, which was quite extraordinary.
The knowledgeable people on Cao Cao's side are very wary of Liu Bei. This is why Guo Jia looked strange when he saw Liu Bei just now.
Dong Cheng glanced at Guo Jia, then at Liu Bei, and quickly passed by, because these were not the times he cared about. Dong Cheng raised his head and looked at the civil and military ministers in the hall.
In addition to some prominent dignitaries, such as Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Xiahou Dun and others who are brave and good at fighting, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others are also outstanding people.
Looking at the group of people who congratulated Cao Cao on his birthday today, Dong Cheng sighed in his heart. At this moment, the Cao family was extremely powerful. There were fierce generals like clouds and advisers like a sea.
In the hall, everyone has their own thoughts and opinions, and even their opinions are hidden in the darkness, it is really like the light of swords and shadows.
One wrong step and you'll die on the spot.
At this moment, Cao Cao walked in from the outside. Sikong Mansion is not a palace. There is an inner gate in the palace, which directly allows the emperor to enter the main hall.
There was no such arrangement in Cao Cao's house, so he walked in through the gate.[
Today, Cao Cao was wearing a very festive dress, a bright red robe, and the expression on his face was relatively happy and relaxed. Obviously, what happened during this period made Cao Cao feel comfortable.
"Ming Gong."
Cao Cao is the well-deserved protagonist today. When he walked into the hall, the civil and military officials naturally did not show disrespect and raised their fists to greet him.
"You are so polite." Cao Cao raised his fists and said. Then, he went straight to the upper position and knelt down, his movements were very grand.
"Today is a private matter, but you are all very enthusiastic and have come to congratulate me. Cao Cao would like to thank you." After kneeling down, Cao Cao raised his fist and said.
"Ming Gong is being humble." Someone immediately raised his fist and said, "Ming Gong is the minister of the dynasty. He is responsible for all matters. He is the pillar of the Han Dynasty. The affairs of Ming Gong are the major events of the Han Dynasty. There is no such thing as a small matter."
This is a naked flattery. It is also very explicit, but it is very marketable.
"Exactly, what Mr. Wu said makes sense. If Duke Ming had not come out of nowhere to put an end to the chaos, there would be no peace and tranquility for the country and the people today. We are grateful in our hearts, so we came here to celebrate."
Someone followed suit.
"Exactly, exactly."
Many civil and military ministers were unwilling to be outdone and raised their fists to applaud the horse.
