Lao Li's speech on the throne was roughly divided into two parts. The first part used a tactful tone to enumerate the sins of the previous Emperor Yang. The latter part used a ashamed attitude to express that he did not want to ascend the throne, but because of the recommendation of the ministers, he was willing to take his place temporarily until the future.
A wise man appears and is willing to abdicate in favor of the wise man.
Therefore, in the eyes of smart people, a long series of speeches on the throne are no different from nonsense, they are just rhetoric used to confuse the people.
Li Yuan talked for half an hour, and finally announced that the Tang Dynasty was established!
Then everyone shouted "Ten Thousand Years of the Tang Dynasty".
The enthronement ceremony lasted for nearly three hours, and my back was sore from the official position. However, I couldn't turn a blind eye to the performance that was required, and could only smile the whole time.
Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same, I just think they are noisy.
Yang You looked at Li Yuan, at the officials, at the subjects, and just wanted to find a place where no one was and cry loudly.
Mom, dad, grandparents, how can you bear to let me face this cruel reality alone? I'm just a child!
"That kid is about to cry."
Li Yuanji was having nothing to do. He caught a glimpse of Yang You and said to Li Zhiyun with a smile.
"Fourth brother, we must take this as a warning." Li Zhiyun replied with sincerity.
Li Yuanji didn't care, "It's my turn to be Li Tang Dynasty Sui Dynasty."
At this time, Li Shimin, who had always had a gloomy face, said: "Fourth and fifth brothers, I don't even know who the people's support is. Brothers, you and I must assist my father to achieve great things."
"That's what the emperor said." Li Zhiyun immediately showed a 'taught' expression, which was very useful to Li Shimin.
However, he soon became unhappy again. Because Li Yuanji pulled his face and said coldly: "The people's hearts are naturally in the Tang Dynasty. You don't need to say if you have any doubts about this."
Li Shimin wanted to teach him a lesson, but on this occasion, he suppressed his anger and turned his head away from Li Yuanji.
After everything was completed, Li Yuan opened a running banquet in Wude Hall and entertained all the officials to eat and drink. This was the company's opening ceremony banquet. The only thing that made Li Zhiyun uncomfortable was that no one was playing the suona. This was a bit wrong.
In the Hall of Wude, all the officials were smiling happily and changing cups. From time to time, ministers would toast to the emperor and say auspicious words, which made Old Li Le unable to close his mouth.
When eating, it is better to sit separately, with each person having a table. The person who eats in Wude Hall is either the prime minister or the king, or at the very least, he must be a minister or a minister.
As for the food, it was rich and colorful. Li Zhiyun couldn't tell what the name was, but there was no shortage of chicken, duck, and fish, and the taste was very good. After all, it was made by the palace chef, not ordinary stuff.
It's just uncomfortable to sit on.
There are no chairs, so they can only sit on their knees or lean on the couch.
The palace maids brought Li Zhiyun more wine from a gold bottle and waited carefully at the side. Once the emperor, they were ministers, and now these palace maids also understand that their wealth and life belong to the Li family.
After drinking for three rounds, Lao Li suddenly said: "King Qi."
"Father."
Li Yuanji stood up with a smile.
Li Yuan pointed at Xiao Yu and said: "Xiao Xiangguo has worked hard and made great achievements. I value him deeply. You can toast him with a toast on my behalf."
Every word and deed of the emperor is seen in the eyes of others, and is also considered in the hearts of others. Generally, the person who toasts on behalf of the emperor is the prince, no matter how bad it is, there is also the King of Qin, but how can it be the King of Qi?
What does the emperor want to do?
If the emperor is compared to a goddess, then all the officials are a different kind of licking dogs. They may not want to pursue the emperor, but they must all want to know what the emperor is thinking.
Of course, except Li Yuanji.
Without thinking, he filled himself up with wine and walked up to Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Xiangguo, I would like to propose a toast to you."
Xiao Yu's identity is very secretive, but also very embarrassing. Although he is the Sixth Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, he has many "criminal records" and his identity is also complicated.
Originally, Xiao Yu was a member of the Xiaoliang royal family. Later, when his sister married Yang Guang, he suddenly became a loyal lackey of the Sui Dynasty. Empress Dugu acted as a matchmaker and married him to a daughter of the Dugu family, and he carried a layer of Guanlong influence.
film.
But in fact, he was from the Jiangzuo gentry.
Lao Li smiled and asked: "Song Guogong, what do you think of my son?"
When Li Yuangang invaded Chang'an, Xiao Yu surrendered the county, granted the title of Duke of Song, and served as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After Li Yuan came to the throne, the title did not change, but the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was changed to Dou Jing. Xiao Yu was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Prime Minister.
Lao Li's problem made Xiao Yu very embarrassed.
If Lao Li asked him about the prince or the king of Qin, he would say without hesitation "the dragon and the phoenix among men" and "the son of heaven". Even if he asked the king of Chu, he could also say "heroic".
Only King Qi made Lao Xiao feel very embarrassed.
Against his conscience, he could say that the King of Qi was "extremely talented".
If you don't violate your conscience, well, that would be tantamount to calling King Qi a fool and a scumbag.
"His Royal Highness, King Qi, is a talented young man and is worthy of being a son of the royal family."
There is no way, understand it, if you eat under the hand of others, you have to learn to tell lies. Even if he clearly knows that Li Yuanji is a useless waste, he still has to smile and praise, 'The King of Qi is awesome' and 'The King of Qi is the most handsome'.
Little boss, you can't offend me if you don't lick me.
"Song Guogong is over-reputed." Old Li said with a smile: "Yuanji has been neglected since he was a child and often behaves strangely. I am very worried about him."
"Youth's nature is to act as one pleases." Xiao Yu agreed.
Seeing that the time was almost here, Old Li showed his strong white teeth.
"Song Guogong, since you also think that King Qi is good, I have an idea."
Xiao Yu suddenly had a premonition that the person coming was evil.
Li Yuandao: "My son is not married yet. I heard that your granddaughter happens to be in Chang'an. I want to marry you and make your granddaughter the Princess of Qi. What do you think?"
At this moment, Xiao Yu's mind went blank.
He fell into a pit!
No, he should have pushed his granddaughter into the fire pit!
Anyone who knows a little bit about what kind of person Li Yuanji is knows. To say that he is a dandy is not a deep enough word. We have to use the word ‘bully’ to describe him.
This guy has done every bad thing you can think of.
Isn't it harmful to marry your granddaughter to such a person?
But when he looked at the emperor, the meaning revealed in his eyes was simple and clear.
Either you agree.
Either you get lost.
Xiao Yu had no doubt that once he refused, he would be killed by Li Yuan soon.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage." Xiao Yu burst into tears and agreed with a smile.
Li Yuan laughed, "Okay!"
Li Zhiyun, who was chewing chicken wings, was stunned for a long time. Good guy, he remembered very clearly that Li Yuanji's wife should not be the Yang family. She was the Princess Chaoci who was later occupied by Li Shimin. She was from the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty.
Now, how come she has become Xiao Yu’s granddaughter?
Is this my fault too?
But that's not right. He has never interfered in Li Yuanji's marriage at all. This has something to do with him. How can it be changed?
Something's wrong!
"My dear friends, please have a drink with me to congratulate the King of Qi." Li Yuan held up the golden cup.
"Congratulations to King Qi!"
All the officials took a swig one after another.
Anyway, the one who got married was Xiao Yu's granddaughter, not his own daughter. The one who should cry was Xiao Yu, not the officials.
Li Yuanji doesn't care, it doesn't matter who he marries, it won't hinder his pursuit of sex.
