The guests exchanged drinks and cheers.
The entire city of Luoyang was shrouded in joy. The victorious Tang Dynasty courtiers were honored to attend this banquet hosted by King Qin.
They haven't had a drink for many days, so today, it seems that most of Luoyang City is immersed in the aroma of wine.
It was not until late at night that Li Jing, who pretended to be drunk, returned to the palace under the service of everyone.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the palace walls and bluestone slabs, full of hazy beauty, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music came over, making Li Jing feel even more happy.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Kui Mu and Zhong Xiaokui led a team of royal guards to protect Li Jing. After entering the palace, only Zhong Xiaokui continued to accompany Li Jing, while Kui Mu dispersed with the others.
At this moment, Li Jing was walking steadily and did not look like he was drunk. He was just avoiding the bowls of toasts from the reckless Qiu Ba below. It was already late at night, so he had to take the opportunity to leave the banquet.
The largest restaurant in Luoyang was taken over, and countless courtiers and military officers from the entire Tang Dynasty were invited there to celebrate in the name of King Qin.
After all, Li Jing is not the emperor yet, so he cannot hold a grand banquet in the palace, so he can only arrange one outside the palace.
Zhong Xiaokui had just reported to him everything she had seen and heard over the past few days. At this moment, by Li Jing's side, she could see a figure in red clothes standing in front of the palace in the distance, and quietly retreated.
Li Jing dissipated the smell of alcohol from her body before striding forward and asking aloud from a few meters away.
"Why are you waiting for me here? Didn't you agree that I will come to you tonight..."
His tone was teasing and slightly inappropriate, but the empress just smiled, and when Li Jing came over, she twisted Li Jing's waist with her hands.
Li Jing was unprepared. He frowned and a look of pain appeared on his face.
But after all, he was in the wrong. It was indeed outrageous to go out and bring a woman back, and he should reflect on it.
Fortunately, the empress also knew what happened when Li Jing entered Taiyuan, so she just let out a light hum and let go.
"What are your plans to bring Li Xingyun back? He is not an ordinary person who can be manipulated. Just the bad commander behind him can make him invincible."
When Li Jing went to Taiyuan this time, the things that happened during it were naturally made clear to the empress. Fortunately, Bago was there. Otherwise, if Li Xingyun really ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan and took charge of the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, the world would be in an uproar.
By that time, the morale of the officers and soldiers under his command will naturally be damaged and the people's hearts will be scattered. Although they will inevitably support Li Jing, they will never reach such a high level.
Fighting desperately on the battlefield, only to be picked off by others in the end. If an army breaks out and causes chaos, everyone will feel aggrieved by being called a traitor.
Moreover, if the situation of two Li and Tang orthodoxies in the world really emerges, the disputes will probably become more intense and the suffering of the people will become more severe.
Therefore, this is also an important reason why the empress can accept Bago.
Li Jing is not a person who is greedy for beauty.
"Since he is really willing to recognize me as his brother, it is natural for him to be respectful to his brothers... Yuan Tiangang is certainly stubborn, but the general situation is such that he may have been planning Li Keyong's action, but no one is as good as God. .Li Xingyun is not a person who covets power and position. If he does this forcefully, he will not be able to get what he wants..."
Li Jing put his hands on the white marble railing, and his green python robe shone under the moonlight, making him look even more heroic.
On that day, Li Xingyun asked him about the cause of Uncle Yang's death, but in fact he did not answer directly. Li Xingyun had already figured out the reason just by thinking about the steelyard in his mind.
Although Li Jing was his enemy, in the face of justice, Li Xingyun finally put aside his personal grudges and agreed with Li Jing in an unexpected way.
I don’t know what Yuan Tiangang thought after knowing it...
The empress frowned and looked at Li Jing's profile, slightly stunned.
But in just two years, the immature young man who talked so much in Fengxiang really achieved this step.
Although without her support, all this would be nothing. But without Li Jing, perhaps she would only have the opportunity to climb to the top of the city of Luoyang many years later and take a look at this magnificent palace that surpasses both ancient and modern times.
Or, it will be difficult for life.
In short, it's all a blessing. Perhaps Yuan Tiangang would not have expected that Li Jing could do this.
"If he can really rely on you, it would be great... I'm afraid he has other intentions... Is he really as free of desires and demands as you say?"
Speaking of which, there are still too few men like Li Xingyun, and it can be said that he is a little smarter.
Li Xingyun is more self-aware. He knows that he cannot be an emperor well. Perhaps he is tired of this kind of intrigues and can only guard against his ministers all his life. He can only live a lonely life, so he wants to be a person who only needs idle clouds and wild cranes.
Li Jing laughed, turned to look at the empress, put her hand on the empress' shoulder, and said with a smile: "Actually, as long as he can do better than me, it doesn't matter if I give up this seat to him."
"The world has been suffering from wars for a long time. Since Xuanzong, there has been constant turmoil in various places. It is really too difficult for the people today... As long as we can unify, implement benevolent government, and grasp the hearts and minds of the people, there is no need to worry about the instability of the country. However, this The pressure may be just a grain of sand, but when it falls on a person's shoulders, it is like a huge mountain..."
At the end of the sentence, Li Jing paused, his eyes showing thoughts.
He is a person from later generations, so of course he can clearly understand how miserable the current people are. He had no ability before, so naturally he could only protect himself wisely. But now that we have this kind of power that can change the world, how can we tolerate Li Keyong and his like to continue such strife and chaos?
For an era to be able to continue and be stable, the first prerequisite is true unification, and only then can the will to make decisions be derived.
Li Jing's sudden emotion made the empress stunned for a moment, and all worries in her heart were instantly gone.
If Li Jing is like this, why worry about someone being able to seize his power.
"However, this Yelu Abaoji... I originally intended to kill him to avoid future troubles, but now, I will keep him in Luoyang. The Yelu Lage I told you about has some abilities, but he is short-sighted. Some, let him control the Khitan, the grasslands will not be unified in the next few years."
Speaking of this, Li Jing remembered that Yelu Abaojilai, who had been brought to Luoyang by chance, was now placed in the inn and treated as a foreign envoy of the country.
Now that he has completely revealed his identity, he also wants to discuss asking Li Jing to send someone to send him back to the grassland. He will be an ally of the Tang Dynasty for generations to come and is willing to be dispatched by the Tang Dynasty.
But historically, Jin was stabbed in the back by him.
