originally.
In order to welcome the eldest grandson Pingting.
Li Ke prepared a big scene.
But because of Changsun Pingting's own request.
He finally gave up the idea of making a big deal.
I simply invited Li Chengqian to come over.
As for Changsun Chong, Cheng Huailiang and Li Lizhi.
They heard the news themselves and came here.
Four men and two women sat around the same dining table. Although the scene was not grand, it was very warm.
Especially when they saw Li Ke and their eldest grandson Pingting sitting together again and regaining their previous loving attitude.
Li Chengqian just felt like he was in another world.
It seemed that he and Li Ke had never broken up.
It seems that Li Ke and Changsun Pingting have never had any trouble.
It seems like nothing happened.
It seems like everything happened yesterday.
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "You guys, don't be polite. You should use your chopsticks, use your chopsticks, and talk when you should."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you dare to eat just because I, the prince, am sitting here?"
These people present are all very familiar with Li Chengqian.
Not to mention eating together, even peeing and making mud, they have done it all together.
Therefore, what Li Chengqian said was obviously just a joke.
After hearing this, several people in the venue also picked up their chopsticks.
Li Ke should fill a glass of wine for himself first.
"First glass of wine to you all!"
"Thank you for coming today."
"I, Li Ke, am very grateful!"
After the words fell, Li Ke raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
Then.
He poured himself a second glass.
"This second glass of wine is for my royal brother!"
"If it weren't for you, my dear brother, where would I be today?"
"I'm just afraid that I would have gone astray or died in a pile of yellow sand."
Li Ke reached out and clinked glasses with Li Chengqian.
But just when he was about to finish his second glass of wine.
Li Chengqian reached out and held his wrist.
"We are brothers."
"When I help you, I'm helping myself."
"Besides, you are where you are today because you fought for it yourself."
"If you are not this material, no matter what I do, it will be of no use."
"So, you don't owe me anything."
"I'll drink the second glass of wine with you!"
After speaking, Li Chengqian let go of Li Ke's hand, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Li Ke didn't hesitate at all when he saw this, and immediately imitated Li Chengqian and drank the wine in one gulp.
Then.
He immediately poured himself a third glass.
"This third glass of wine is for my eldest brother."
Li Ke set his sights on Changsun Chong.
He bit his lower lip lightly and said, "I was a bastard before. I didn't know good people, and I offended many people. Please bear with me, brother!"
Changsun Chong smiled slightly.
"be honest."
Changsun Chong looked at Changsun Pingting and said, "If my sister hadn't decided on her own, I would never have looked at you again."
Those things back then.
Changsun Chong still remembers it to this day.
He remembered Xiaojiu crying in front of him.
He remembered the painful look of his eldest grandson Pingting when he came over.
He even remembered what the eldest grandson Pingting said to him: "Brother, take me home..."
But he also knows.
Sooner or later all this will pass.
And today is the day everything ends.
"Now that it's over."
"I can only support my sister."
Changsun Chong stood up and clinked glasses with Li Ke: "Since you call me big brother, I will naturally treat you as my brother-in-law."
"It may seem a bit high-spirited, but after all, you are the King of Shu and I am a minister."
"Besides, there's nothing I can do to help you."
"So from now on, we will work hard and do our best for the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
This sentence is the most high-sounding and impressive thing that Changsun Chong can say.
Of course Li Ke knew it too.
The fact that Changsun Chong could say these words proved that he had completely forgiven himself.
Li Ke was naturally very happy about this.
In fact, he was more afraid of Changsun Chong than Changsun Wuji.
As for why you are afraid of him.
There is only one reason, guilty conscience.
He had said many cruel words to Changsun Chong and even acted like a jerk in front of him.
He really didn't have the face to face Changsun Chong directly.
This was also the reason why, even after making peace with Changsun Pingting, he still could not face Changsun Chong.
But at this moment.
As Chang Sun Chong said these words.
The grudge between the two was completely settled.
Li Ke raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
After that, everyone stopped being polite and started competing with the delicious food on the table.
During the banquet.
Li Chengqian suddenly remembered something.
"Huailiang."
"What's the situation now in Jinyang?"
Cheng Huailiang was stunned.
He swallowed the food in his mouth vigorously, and then said: "What is your Highness asking about?"
"What else could it be?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Of course it's a coal mine!"
Coal mines were discovered in Jinyang.
This is also thanks to Tian Xuan.
Tian Xuan has a restless temper.
From time to time, he would travel to various places to look for materials that could be used to refine metals.
This coal mine was discovered by Tian Xuan and reported to the court.
Li Chengqian pointed at Cheng Huailiang and said with a deliberately cold face: "Don't tell me you didn't go see it!"
"How can it be?"
Cheng Huailiang laughed dryly and said, "How could I, Xiao Cheng, not follow His Highness' instructions?"
"Coal mining and stuff."
Cheng Huailiang said: "Everything is going on in an orderly manner now."
"How's the yield?"
Li Chengqian continued to ask.
"About one or two thousand pounds a day."
Cheng Huailiang paused and asked, "Your Highness is in a hurry?"
He has been with Li Chengqian for many years and has done things for Li Chengqian for many years.
Basically, with just one look from Li Chengqian, he knew what Li Chengqian wanted to do.
Now I heard him ask about the production volume.
Cheng Yaojin immediately realized that Li Chengqian must have another plan.
"It's not like I'm in a hurry to use it."
"I just want to be prepared."
"You don't have to worry about this."
"When I have time later, I will go to Jinyang by myself."
When Li Chengqian said this, his brows were furrowed tightly.
Several people in the venue were all very familiar with him.
Who can't see his thoughts?
Changsun Chong was the first to speak.
"Your Highness."
"Something has been wrong since you came back from Western Turks."
Changsun Chong frowned and said, "Is it possible that you discovered something in the Western Turks?"
"What can I find?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "There is nothing in the ice and snow over there."
"I don't believe what you say."
Li Ke stretched his neck and said: "Zhang Xiao and the others told me before that the Angsa country you are facing also has muskets and artillery, right?"
Originally, Li Chengqian didn't plan to tell them about this.
But Li Ke asked.
He didn't hide it at all, nodded and said: "Not only there, but they are not much inferior to us!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone in the venue was stunned.
They all know what the Tang Dynasty's firearms are like.
There are firearms in the Angsa Empire, and they also know about it.
But they don't know the true strength of the Angsa Empire.
Now I heard that they were on par with the Tang Dynasty's firearms, and everyone was a little surprised.
