After entering the palace, there was naturally a complicated set of etiquette waiting for Liu Deng.
The emperor had not worn the dragon robe for many days. Today, in order to see Liu Deng, he specially put on a brand new robe.
"Your Majesty, on behalf of the King Liu Deng, I would like to see your Majesty!"
Before Liu Deng finished his ceremony, the emperor stepped forward and helped him up.
"Good boy, good boy! Thanks to you this time, if it hadn't been for your bloody fight, I'm afraid there would have been a river of blood in the pass again this time!"
In any case, Liu Deng's establishment made great achievements. Although the emperor also used many tricks behind his back, on an occasion like today, the drama that should be done must still be done.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
Liu Deng hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said.
"Get up, get up quickly! Tonight, your Imperial Grandma has prepared a family banquet for you in the harem. Today we don't care about the king and his ministers, we only talk about family ties!"
Although he knew that the emperor was acting, Liu Deng had to cooperate with the emperor at this time.
Now that the sun is approaching, the emperor will naturally give a banquet. Those who are qualified to go to the palace are in a good mood today.
In any case, it is a great honor for the emperor to give a banquet to these people. If it were not for following Liu Deng, there would be no chance to come to such an occasion.
Luan Bu was doing better, but Su Jian was already shaking with excitement.
Not to mention those captains, tough men like He Junan, now feel that their hands are not their own.
Seeing their excited expressions, Liu Deng was secretly amused. He estimated that even if he gave them a piece of raw pork at this time, they would still be able to chew it with relish.
After all the dishes were served and the emperor made a toast, he was finally able to enjoy the royal banquet.
On an occasion like today, those who can sit aside as guests are naturally the powerful figures in the court.
Basically, Liu Deng knew all the nobles in this court, but today he really saw a new face.
"Who is that? Why does it look so strange? Could it be that someone hit him on the face?"
Taking advantage of the toast, Liu Deng quietly came to Tang Yihou and asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean? That's a bitch. This old boy wants to be the prime minister. You should have heard of his name, Kaifeng Hou Tao Qing!"
Chen Wu said in a low voice.
Even though he is just a laid-back prince, he usually has no sense of presence in the court, but in terms of closeness, perhaps he and Liu Deng are the only ones closest to them in the whole court.
"Is he the Marquis of Kaifeng?"
Liu Deng looked at Tao Qinghe meaningfully. This guy was really interesting.
Although Liu Deng knew in his heart that basically all the things Tao Qing said were the emperor's heart problems, Liu Deng still felt that this guy was really annoying.
"Then the injury on his face..."
Liu Deng asked in a low voice while drinking.
"The injuries on his face were caused by your brother-in-law, and I also had a small hand in it. Hey hey hey, you kid, don't you think I hit too hard?"
Chen Wu said quite proudly.
"No! If it were my nephew, the attack would only be more severe!"
There was a smile on Liu Deng's face. This sentence was truly the truth. If it had been Liu Deng's place, it is estimated that if Tao Qing had lost an arm or a leg, this matter would never be over!
To put it mildly, this guy is jealous of his talents, but to put it more seriously, isn't this trying to deceive you?
Bastards like this should be beaten to death!
"But you'd better be careful, kid. Recently, this guy has been planning on you. Now it's said that all three candidates for the position of Prime Minister are his!"
The two were talking, and Chen Wu suddenly spoke.
"Just him? He also wants to become the prime minister of a powerful man?"
Although Tao Qing did serve as a prime minister in history, Liu Deng didn't like him now, but he didn't take him seriously at all.
Since this guy is secretly stumbling upon me, if I don't retaliate, then everyone in the world will think that I am easy to bully.
As Liu Deng spoke, he smiled sinisterly at Tao Qing, then raised his glass to signal.
Tao Qing was originally in a daze, but after being poked by someone next to him, he finally realized what he was doing and quickly raised his glass to signal Liu Deng.
Liu Deng smiled and drank the wine glass in his hand, then dropped the wine glass and strode to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, on such a happy day today, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter. However, this country has just experienced war and chaos. I am really worried about the situation in the country and want to tell Your Majesty something. Report!"
After hearing what Liu Deng said, the warm atmosphere in the hall suddenly became deserted, and soon became silent.
"If you have anything to say, I won't deny it!"
Liu Deng had accomplished such a rare feat, so if he had any small request at this time, the emperor would naturally not refuse.
"Your Majesty, I heard a few days ago that Mr. Taifu has been promoted to Taibao. If this happens, Dai's country will be in short supply of a Prime Minister. The wedding is approaching and I won't be able to go back for a while. Today, all the sages in the court will be gone. Here, I would like to recommend someone, please Your Majesty, please do it!"
Liu Deng's words were so powerful that everyone in the hall suddenly showed a strange expression.
Especially Shen Tujia's originally cloudy eyes suddenly became gleaming.
Seeing Liu Deng's serious look, Shen Tujia suddenly had a hunch that Tao Qing was going to be in bad luck this time.
"oh?"
The emperor hesitated for a moment. He did not expect that Liu Deng would ask for this.
Logically speaking, the prime minister of a country should naturally be appointed by the court.
No matter who the court appoints, the princes and kings can only accept the conditions.
But this time Liu Deng not only made a great contribution, but he also specifically pointed out that he would not be able to go back for a while.
These words really touched the emperor's mind. The emperor was still hesitating in his heart as to what excuse he should use to let Liu Deng stay in Chang'an City so that the new Prime Minister could quickly stabilize the situation.
Unexpectedly, this kid actually threw himself into the trap now...
Speaking of the ministers present today, a large part of them hold important positions in the court. The remaining people are either not of high enough rank or have too noble status to be suitable for acting as the prime minister of the country. Just a handful of people.
"Tell me what you think about it!"
After a moment of silence, Liu Heng spoke.
Seeing the emperor speak, Liu Deng suddenly turned his head and smiled evilly at Tao Qing.
Don’t you want the position of Prime Minister of this generation?
I give it to you!
