Chapter 129 The Stain of Treason
The prisoner presenting ceremony lasted for more than an hour. After the prisoner presenting ceremony, there was a big banquet. After the prisoner presenting ceremony, all civil and military officials moved to Linde Hall.

At this time, the wine and delicacies in the Linde Hall were ready, and hundreds of tables lined the two sides of the hall, and in the middle of the banquet, there were two seats for the first time, one belonged to the emperor Li Shimin, and the other belonged to the emperor who had not appeared for a long time. The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan in everyone's eyes.

Since Li Shimin came to the throne after the Xuanwumen Rebellion, apart from Pei Ji and a few veteran officials, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan rarely appeared in the courtiers' sight, and it was the first time since the first year of Zhenguan that he appeared so openly.

This is not only the meaning of the Supreme Emperor himself, this is also the first time that Li Shimin has the confidence to stand side by side with the Supreme Emperor without any fear.

From Chengtianmen to Linde Hall, as the monarchs and ministers took their seats, the feast began.

"The banquet begins, play music!" Chang Tu, who was standing beside Li Shimin, clapped his hands and ordered to the palace actress in the shop.

Just like the big banquet in the court, it is a rule that before the big event, there must be a piece of King Qin's Breaking the Battle.

After the song is played, the feast will really begin, and everyone can hold their glasses.

Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, raised his glass first and said: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks have been a disaster for our northern frontiers. After thirteen years, the Turks are finally at peace today. During this period, it is thanks to the merits of all the ministers. I respect all the ministers."

As Li Shimin said, he picked up his wine glass.

Seeing Li Shimin toasting, everyone also raised their glasses and said: "Today's achievement is the result of His Majesty's day and night planning, how dare I be greedy for the achievements of heaven."

Seeing this, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Without the great efforts of all the ministers, no matter how much I plan, I will still be alone. Come, let us drink this cup together."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he drank it in one gulp, and the officials who sat down did the same.

After the scene was finished, it was time to really enjoy the banquet. Although Li Ke had had enough breakfast in the morning, Li Ke stood for a long time in the morning, and his stomach was already empty. Dine up.

Li Ke has been in Turkic for four years, and his body has been tempered and stronger than ordinary teenagers. In addition, he is young, and he is at the age of strong food, so the food he eats is sweet and sweet, which is a bit different from the polite and slow-eating civil servants in the palace. .

What Li Ke did was seen in the eyes of Changsun Wuji and others, and Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but be contemptuous in their hearts: "Your son has been in Fanbang for a long time, and his words and deeds have lost the appearance of my kingdom of heaven and the state of etiquette. Almost no different from barbarians."

What Li Ke did was seen by Changsun Wuji, and he was also seen by the others in the palace, one of whom was Zhang Xingcheng, the imperial servant in the palace.

The so-called serving the censor in the palace, in charge of court inspections, and impeaching all officials for their misconduct. Although Li Ke is a prince, he is not among the officials, but since he is in the palace, it is his duty.

Zhang Xingcheng came from the Zhang family in Zhongshan, a clan in Hebei, and he was not a partisan of Changsun Wuji, but he was upright and known for his daring to speak out, so he would not care about Li Ke's identity.

Zhang Xingcheng cleared his throat, and said to Li Ke: "This is a state banquet, please pay attention to your manners in the hall."

Li Ke was eating vigorously, but Zhang Xingcheng almost choked on what Zhang Xingcheng said.

Li Ke knew that once the Zhenguan dynasty was politically clear, admonition ministers were the most indispensable. The more famous ones were Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda, and the less famous ones were Quan Wanji and his like. It's just that Li Ke didn't expect that he would be impeached today.

Li Ke was impeached, but before he had time to say anything, Li Shimin opened his mouth to defend his shortcomings. Li Shimin said: "The king of Chu has a young heart and is straightforward in his actions. Zhang Qing doesn't have to be too harsh."

If it were other courtiers, the emperor had already opened his mouth to defend it, so naturally he would not insist on this matter, not to mention that Li Ke's loss of manners was not a big deal, but Zhang Xingcheng was stubborn, and his duty was that even Li Shimin had to speak up. persist in.

Zhang Xingcheng said: "Your Highness is small, but in this hall are my courtiers of the Tang Dynasty. Your Highness has such a demeanor, what should I do if people from other countries see it? I think that His Highness is young and needs to be self-disciplined. "

For these officials, Li Ke has always been respectful and far away, and no matter what is right or wrong, Li Ke is lazy to disturb them, so as not to get deeper and deeper.

Li Ke immediately said seriously: "What Zhang Yushi said is very true. Xiao Wang has been in Turkic for a long time, and sometimes he is used to doing things casually. Recently, he has indeed done a little worse. Fortunately, Zhang Yushi corrected him."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he straightened his clothes and sat up straight.

Zhang Xingcheng is also not a member of Changsun Wuji's party, and has nothing to do with Li Ke. Now that Li Ke has said so, he will not hold on to it. As soon as Li Ke's words fell, Zhang Xingcheng retreated to the side with his hands down.

Seeing Li Ke's suddenly serious appearance, Li Shimin worried about Li Ke's embarrassment, so he said with a smile to Li Ke: "I have heard that Ke'er was a huge number when he was in Turkic. Now that he is back in Chang'an, why don't he have a drink with me?"

Li Ke knew that Li Shimin was trying to smooth things over for him by saying this, so Li Ke immediately raised his glass and said: "With all the generals of the Tang Dynasty here, how dare I dare to say the word "huge". I can also have fun with my father, and I would like to use this cup to wish me a great victory in the Tang Dynasty and congratulate my father on his might."

Li Ke picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Li Ke drank all the wine, his face remained unchanged, and he exhaled as usual, obviously his foundation is still good.

There are many generals in this hall, and there are few generals who do not drink, so there are many old drunkards, and they can tell at a glance whether Li Ke's drinking capacity is real or fake.

Although Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and other generals didn't say anything, they already recognized Li Ke a little bit more in their hearts. At least like other princes, Li Ke was informal and had an excellent capacity for alcohol, so he was very close to them. appetite.

But when Li Shimin mentioned Li Ke's affairs in Turkic, Yan Xiangshi, who was entrusted by Changsun Wuji, seized the opportunity.

Yan Xiangshi suddenly came out and said: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, I will report the fault of His Highness the King of Chu."

As soon as Yan Xiangshi's words came out, everyone in the hall looked at him in unison, their eyes were full of puzzlement, could it be that Yan Xiangshi was still holding on to Li Ke's mere disrespect?
When Li Shimin heard the words, he also pointed at Yan Xiang and said angrily: "The king of Chu is disrespectful, don't you want to keep an eye on this trivial matter?"

Just now when Zhang Xingcheng made a statement, Li Ke had already accepted it sincerely, and Li Shimin still insisted on Li Ke's affairs when he was only acting as a face, and was furious.

However, Yan Xiangshi stood in the hall, looked up at Li Ke, and then at Li Shimin and said, "It's not the king of Chu's disrespect that I impeached just now."

Li Shimin had lost patience with Yan Xiangshi, and said displeasedly: "Then why do you want to impeach the King of Chu? If you are not sure about any evidence, I will never forgive you today."

Although Li Ke was young, but the more dignified the prince of the Tang Dynasty, his ranking was only second to the prince Li Chengqian. In fact, they could criticize them at will.

Yan Xiangshi raised his mouth, stared at Li Ke closely and said: "I impeach the king of Chu for having an affair with the Turkic people. It is a crime to commit private indulgence."

As soon as Yan Xiangshi's words fell, the whole hall was in an uproar.
