That night, in the main hall of the Daliang Palace, the rows of tables were filled with fine wines and delicacies. All the civil and military officials of Daliang, with their wives and children, sat in their respective seats according to taste.
Chao Gai and He were sitting in the main hall, wearing royal robes sewn by Hou Jian himself. The Liang royal robes were mainly black, looking solemn and solemn.
Chao Yong and Hu Sanniang are sitting on the first table on the left. Today is the day when Chao Gai becomes king. Although Hu Sanniang has some physical inconveniences, she still attended the banquet.
The main hall of the palace was rebuilt from the previous yamen hall. In addition to the expansion, some changes were also made. The positions where Chao Gai and He sat were raised much higher.
Chao Gai was very dissatisfied at first when he saw that his position had been elevated, and he felt that it would distance him from everyone else. But Zhao Mingcheng said that he was already the King of Liang. After he unified the world, he could claim the title of emperor. Naturally, he had to maintain some dignity and no longer have the same rules as before.
Chao Gai agreed to their reconstruction after hearing what Zhao Mingcheng said.
At this time, Chao Gai was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials below, and there was a slight change in his heart. This feeling of being superior turned out to be good.
Chao Yong led everyone to stand up and said: "See the King of Liang."
Chao Gai waved his hand and said: "Without courtesy, everyone, please take your seats. Today is a great celebration, so there is no need to pay too much attention to the etiquette. Mr. Zhao, the right minister, also carefully prepared some words for me, so I won't read them. Everyone works together, Just help me prosper. Okay, let¡¯s have a banquet.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Kui jumped up, holding a wine cup, and said: "I'm so choked. This wine cup is too small. Brother Tianwang, please ask someone to change the bowl for me."
Hearing this, Wu Yong couldn't help but glared at Li Kui and said: "You are still rude. Didn't I tell you that from now on you will be called King Liang, not King of Heaven, and don't yell in the palace."
Li Kui said with a smile: "My brother just said that there is no need to pay attention to etiquette. The military advisor also has to listen to my advice."
Chao Gai smiled and said: "Today is Daqing, everyone should be more casual. Come on, bring a bowl for Tieniu."
Liu Tang also shouted: "There is still me."
Chao Gai saw Wu Song, Lu Zhishen and others shouting, so he also smiled and said: "Everyone put on bowls."
Putting on the wine bowl, Li Kui couldn't wait to fill a bowl himself, stood up and said to Chao Gai: "I respect my brother for a bowl. After today, I have to call my brother Liang Wang. Eat a bowl first."
Chao Gai picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "No matter when, we are still brothers, you can call me whatever you like. I will never call you brother to punish you. Hahaha"
Li Kui shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of my brother. I'm just afraid that the military advisor and those civil servants will be shouting in my ears every day."
Wu Yong couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard what Li Kui said.
Chao Gai smiled and said: "Okay, then let's have a bowl."
Li Kui ate a bowl, filled it himself, and said to Wu Song next to him: "I don't know who came up with this rule. One person has one table. It's not as enjoyable as the previous few people sitting at one table. If you want to find someone to drink with, you have to go around several times." ¡±
Wu Song said with a smile: "When my brother becomes emperor, there will be more rules."
When Li Kui heard this, he couldn't help but said with a grimace: "I can't remember that. Then I will have to drink with my brothers."
After the two of them had eaten a few bowls, Li Kui said: "Let's go find Brother Yong to have a bar. He must not have so many rules."
Seeing that everyone was in his seat, Wu Song didn't want to appear intrusive, but he was dragged up by Li Kui, so he had to come to Chao Yong together.
Chao Yong was eating with Hu Sanniang. When he saw the two coming over, he smiled and said, "Sit down and have a bar with me here."
Li Kui sat down on the ground, pulled off a chicken leg from Chao Yong's desk, and said with a smile: "I know Brother Yong doesn't have so many rules. Come on, let's have a bowl."
Wu Song also felt that he was standing awkwardly, so he also sat down together.
Not long after, Ruan Xiaoqi, Lu Zhishen, Shi Xiu, and Shi Qianbian also came over, and the small desk was filled with people.
I don¡¯t know when, a group of young women entered the hall and danced in the central open space.
Li Kui looked at these women and said blankly: "My brother didn't invite them from the brothel, right?"
Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Is it possible that Brother Tieniu also likes to go to brothels?"
Li Kui hurriedly shook his head and said, "I only have money to buy wine, so why go to a brothel?"
Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said: "There is also flower wine in the brothel. Let Flea take you to eat flower wine another day."
Hearing this, Li Kui said with a smile: "I've also heard them say, aren't we just asking a few women to accompany me for drinks? With their small bodies, how many bowls can they eat with me? It's better to find a few brothers to eat happily."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard what Li Kui said.
Most of the people who drink flower wine are drunkards who don¡¯t care about drinking. If they are really accompanying wine, those drunkards who drink wine every day will probably die of drunkenness.
Shi Qian stared at the dancing women with bright eyes and said: "They are all singers and dancers raised by corrupt officials and evil gentry in the past. It seems that there are some family members of corrupt officials who were demoted to be happy households. I don't know which one." I used to be Miss We."
Li Kui glared at Shi Qian and said, "This guy is greedy for money and lustful, which is not the behavior of a good man."
"hey-hey"
Shi Qian smiled and said, "There are so many good men in Liangshan, but you are the only ones who are not lewd."
Chao Yong looked at the people around him and saw that this was really the case.
Needless to say, Lu Zhishen, although he was a beggar monk, was not a womanizer. Needless to say, Wu Song and Shi Xiu, Pan Jinlian and Pan Qiaoyun failed to take the bait in every possible way, and in the end they both managed to destroy them. Ruan Xiaoqi is playful and doesn't care about women.
Seeing that they were talking about women, Hu Sanniang also blushed shyly and said with a smile: "I feel tired after sitting for a long time, so I will go back first. You guys eat slowly."
Chao Yong quickly got up, helped Hu Sanniang up, and called a maid to take Hu Sanniang back.
Li Kui looked at Hu Sanniang¡¯s big belly and said with a smile: ¡°It¡¯s strange how this woman¡¯s belly can become so big and it can¡¯t burst.¡±
Seeing that there was a place here, Wu Yong also came over. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Tieniu, don't talk nonsense, it is unlucky."
Li Kui curled his lips, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Wu Yong, however, has always felt that Chao Yong was wary of him. He was a little dissatisfied before, thinking that since he was a good friend of Chao Gai and a military advisor of Liangshan, he did not necessarily need to curry favor with Chao Yong, the young leader of the village.
But now that Daliang has been established, Chao Yong has become the prince, and with Chao Yong¡¯s power, there is no doubt that this prince will definitely become the emperor in the future. Then he didn't want to cause trouble in advance, so he wanted to change Chao Yong's view of him.
So when I saw there was an empty seat, I came over.
Wu Yong chatted with Chao Yong for a while, and then went to greet Zhao Mingcheng and others. Although he was the left prime minister and had a higher power than Zhao Mingcheng, he still had a lot to ask Zhao Mingcheng and others for advice on political affairs. (To be continued.
