Great Zhou Tianzi

There was an invitation card on Ji Jie's desk, the content was: Grand Sima Xiongsen's [-]th birthday, right minister Ji Jie must be present.

"What kind of person is Xiong Sen?" Ji Jie asked. Although he went to the palace to meet the King of Chu several times, he didn't know much about these ministers. From his surname, it can be seen that he belongs to the royal family.

"Xiong Sen, 60 years old, blood of the royal family of Chu!" Sima Xueran revealed his information: "This person is cowardly and has no opinions in dealing with things, but he is smooth and has played the role of peacemaker many times. As a descendant, he has a high prestige among the ministers of the Chu State. It is precisely because of his cowardice and never participating in court battles that he has won the trust of successive kings of Chu, and the officials have become bigger and bigger, until he was promoted to Da Sima ten years ago , but he never asked about the military affairs. After investigation, this person has a relatively close relationship with Li Yuan recently."

Da Sima is the chief military officer of a country. When the country did not have the post of general or generalissimo, Da Sima was the highest official in the army.

Xiong Sen knows how to be a man. Da Sima, who has been working for more than ten years, has never been in charge of the army. Give orders.

"How could such a person go with Li Yuan?" Ji Jie felt very strange, and said, "Didn't he never participate in power struggles? energy of?"

Sima Xueran said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is the old man's helpless choice. His sons are all sticks, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun but don't know how to be an official. The few grandchildren are even worse. In order to keep the family rich forever, he has to do it." Don't seek a position for the eldest grandson. Pave the way quickly while I am still alive, so I have to turn to Li Yuan for help."

Moreover, Xiong Sen is a very low-key person. He never made a fuss when celebrating his birthday before, but this time he is uncharacteristically.

Xiong Sen said to the outside world that the [-]th birthday is more important, and he feels that time is running out, so he specially entertained the ministers of the court and China, and at the same time, he also became an official for his eldest grandson.

"So that's how it is!" Ji Jie said with a smile, "That means it was Li Yuan's idea to invite me!"

"Why are you so sure?" Chen Yao asked.

Ji Jie explained with a smile: "If Xiong Sen's purpose is to find a way out for his grandson under the guise of longevity, he will not say this clearly, but let the guests guess, which is interesting! Since longevity and this matter If I say it clearly, it means I have other plans. And the reason for doing this is that I am afraid that I will associate it with other aspects, and it is obvious that I want to cover it up!"

To be honest, if Xiong Sen hadn't stated the second reason clearly, Ji Jie wouldn't have thought so much. It was obvious that Li Yuan was playing tricks behind his back.

But with Li Yuan's wisdom, he would never think so deeply, needless to say, those gang of disciples gave him the idea, but these people were too conceited, they underestimated Ji Jie's intelligence.

"Since it's a trap, then don't go!" Sima Xueran said: "Anyway, the relationship with that Xiong Sen is very ordinary. If you don't go, at most people will say that you have lost your manners. It doesn't matter. Anyway, we don't plan to stay in Chu. The President looks forward to it."

"Yes!" Chen Yao nodded, expressing her support for Sima Xueran's opinion.

Ji Jie shook his head and said, "I would like to see what kind of trap Li Yuan set for me! It's not appropriate to turn against him now, the best way to deal with it is to see what he does. He was unkind to me first, and then I was unrighteous to him! Don't worry, I have my own measure, since I have already guessed this, how can Li Yuan be my opponent!"

"What if they kill you?" Chen Yao asked.

"He doesn't dare!" Ji Jie said with certainty: "In such a big scene, even without the presence of all the officials, he wouldn't dare!"

……

A doorman approached Li Yuan cheerfully, and said with a smile, "My lord, after the invitation was sent to Ji Jie, he made it clear that he would come to the appointment on time. Our first step is going well!"

Li Yuan slapped his forehead happily, and said, "Great, Ji Jie must be ruined this time. Are the people who will be framed ready?"

"Ready!" The doorman said with a lascivious expression on his face, "To be honest, I'm not willing to let her go. If it wasn't for the important mission of the lord, I would definitely stay and enjoy it for myself!"

Li Yuan patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you three rewards after it's done! Hahaha!"

"Then thank you, my lord!"

"You go and arrange it again, this time it's not a trivial matter, there must be no mistakes!" Li Yuan confessed.

"Don't worry, my lord, nothing will go wrong!"

……

Sima Xueran's intelligence personnel carried out carpet bombing, but they still failed to find out the clues just before the banquet started.

"As expected! Li Yuan attaches great importance to this mission, so he will be very cautious and will never allow anyone to reveal a single word!" Ji Jie said a word of reassurance to her before sending out: "Don't worry, I will Handle it carefully, no one is my opponent when it comes to fighting with the eyes!"

"That's right, who can be more sinister than you!" Sima Xueran gave a more "pertinent" evaluation.

Ji Jie shrugged his shoulders and got into the carriage. The coachman waved his whip, and the three Xiong brothers accompanied him as guards.

In Xiong Sen Mansion, red lanterns were hung in front of the door, and more than a dozen servants dressed in red and green greeted the guests at the door. Every time one entered, they would shout out the honor of the visitor and the gifts they brought.

Ji Jie also brought a gift, an old mountain ginseng, but I don't know if Xiong Sen's old bones can withstand such a mending thing.

"Great Zhou Jianguo, Zhao Wenjun, Great Chu Right Prime Minister Ji Jie is here, and I will offer you a piece of thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, please."

The thousand-year-old ginseng is less than 300 years old. I really don't know if it's for Xiong Sen's face or Ji Jie's face, he pouted and walked in.

Many guests were already seated in their seats. Just as Ji Jie was seated, a voice sounded in a much higher tone than before: "Marshal of the Great Chu Bingma, Zuo Xiangguo Li Yuan is here!"

"Li Xiangguo is here, I'm not far away to welcome you!" Xiong Sen appeared at the gate with a smile. Many guests came, and Li Yuan was the only one who could receive this kind of treatment.

"Hahaha, Da Sima looks good!" Li Yuan stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "I wish Da Sima a blessing like Donghai and longevity, come here and give me a gift!"

Four servants came carrying a big box, Li Yuan said in a low voice, "Don't tell the guests what's inside, Da Sima, you just need to know it yourself!"

"Hehe, that is, that is!" Xiong Sen showed a respectful look in front of Li Yuan.

Ji Jie raised his head and looked in the direction of the gate, the master is finally here, I want to see how you perform in the next scene!
