"Master, His Royal Highness King Wei. The emperor's herald is here, and let the two of you go out to receive the decree. Cheng Yanjin's housekeeper walked into the study and said to Cheng Yanjin and Li Tai.

"Didn't my father go to the Protector's Mansion to see Uncle Qin? Why do you know that this king is here with Uncle Cheng? Li Tai said a little suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter how he knows, just go out and take orders." Cheng Yanjin said to Li Tai. Then he got up and walked out of the study.

At this time, Li Shimin's eunuch had already come to the living room. Seeing Cheng Biting Jin and Li Tai coming, he said: "Spread the emperor's decree, declare Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Cheng Biting Jin of Lu Guo went to Jinluan Palace to discuss matters." ”

"This father-in-law, I don't know that I just got off the early court. Why summon us again? Cheng Yanjin said to the herald with a smile.

"What Lu Guogong asked, the miscellaneous family really couldn't answer. After all, the miscellaneous family is an errand runner. The eunuch who delivered the decree said to Cheng Yan Jin Shili.

……

Throne room.

"Wait a minute, you two, just do what we just agreed. I don't believe that King Wei can not be fooled. Xu Maogong said to Qin Qiong with a smile.

"We have to do it like the real thing, if there's the slightest bit of a loophole. It's possible to be discovered by that bear child. Li Shimin said uneasily.

"To tell the truth, fooling this kid, in my Wei Chi Jingde's heart, there is really no bottom. After all, he was too shrewd. Now even my two sons are learning from him in a strange way. Wei Chigong said without confidence.

Just when Li Shimin and the four of them were in a nervous mood, the eunuch who went to the Luguo Mansion to deliver the decree came back. came to the Jinluan Palace and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, King Wei and Lu Guogong have come. ”

"Then let them in." Li Shimin said to the eunuch.

Not long after, Li Tai and Cheng Yanjin went to the Jinluan Palace. At this time, the Jinluan Hall is very different from the usual Jinluan Palace.

In the past, on the Jinluan Palace, there were three provinces, six ministries and four major courtiers, and the civil and military officials were divided around. Li Shimin sat in the middle, and Qianniuwei was in charge of guarding.

But today, in the Jinluan Palace, there are only four people including Li Shimin and Qin Qiong. Even the Qianniu Guard, who was usually in charge of guarding, was not in the Jinluan Palace. And the eunuch who passed the decree just now has also withdrawn from the Jinluan Palace.

Li Tai and Cheng bit the gold, came to Li Shimin and knelt on the ground, and made a great salute to Li Shimin. Then Li Tai opened his mouth and asked Li Shimin: "I don't know what is important for my father to find his sons." ”

"I asked you and Brother Cheng to come here today so that you can be a judge. Let's see if Brother Qin is suitable for being in charge, or Brother Wei Chi is more suitable. Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Qiong. I don't know which place Qin Qiong is singing.

Li Tai secretly said in his heart: "Uncle Qin has already promised me that he will not participate in this expedition to the east again. How can it be reversed. ”

While Li Tai was thinking, Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "I like this excitement in my old Cheng." I don't know how the second brother and the big black will compare. ”

"Today, I'm going to compete with Second Brother Qin to see whose body is tough enough." Wei Chigong rolled his arms and rolled up his sleeves and said.

"Don't look at me Qin Qiong, who is infected with the cold, but compared to you, a defeated general. There is still not the slightest pressure to speak of. Qin Qiong said with an unconvinced look.

"That was back then, Second Brother Qin back then, you were on both sides of the Yellow River, beating the 36 prefectures of Kyushu in Shandong, 100 Dan 8 counties, and half of the sky in Xiongzhen Shandong. But today's Second Brother Qin is already old. Wei Chigong said to Qin Qiong with a smile.

Wei Chigong's words couldn't help but make Qin Qiongyuan's eyes widen, glared at Yu Chigong angrily and said, "There is a pair of golden lions outside this Jinluan Palace, and you and I will each raise one. Lift up the golden lion and go around three times in front of the temple, and walk nine times. I don't know if you dare to compete. ”

Hearing Qin Qiong's words, Li Tai, who had been silent, finally couldn't sit still. I saw Li Tai get up and say, "Uncle Qin, Uncle Wei Chi, now you have passed the age of blood and strength. Why be so excited? ”

"His Royal Highness King Wei doesn't have to worry, if you think about that mere golden lion, it can't help me Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao." Qin Qiong said after waving his hand to Li Tai.

"Uncle Qin, have you forgotten what your nephew once said?" Li Tai said as he came to Qin Qiong's face.

At this time, Xu Maogong, who was standing beside Li Shimin, couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart. Because Li Tai has already begun to scheme.

"Second Brother Qin, what Li Tai said is right, now you are Lian Po old. How can there be the majesty of the year, why don't you just hand over this twisted lion golden handsome seal to my lieutenant Chi Jingde. Wei Chigong on the side said with a smile.

"Uncle Wei Chi, you don't have to say a word, Uncle Qin has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty all his life, and the secret injuries on his body are not one hundred but eighty."

"Now that you are infected with the wind and cold, you are more powerful than Uncle Qin at this time. Isn't there a little bit of victory? Li Tai said to Wei Chigong.

"How do you kid know, if you think that I was Wei Chi Gong back then, that was also a hero who grabbed three levels in the day and Bazhai at night. But since he voted for Tang Ying, he has been pressed by Second Brother Qin. ”

"Now that I finally have a chance, how can I give up this twisted lion golden handsome seal." Wei Chigong said to Li Tai with a smile.

"Li Tai, Xiu is talking nonsense there. King Qin's brother Rong Ma has been a horse all his life, and now he is also old and strong. and will he be intimidated by a golden lion? At this time, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, spoke.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, now the Generalissimo Gai Suwen of the Eastern Liao Kingdom Gao Jianwang. A war letter has been sent to me. If you want to cross the sea to conquer the east, you can't do without a marshal. ”

"Both of them want to take command of the army, and they don't obey each other and don't give in to each other. If you can't convince them, how can you be willing to obey the dictates of others? Xu Maogong said to Li Tai.

Although Li Tai felt that there was something wrong here. After all, Qin Qiong had personally promised himself that he would not compete with Yu Chigong Jin Luan Palace again.

But now Qin Qiong suddenly reversed. And he knows Qin Qiong, Xu Maogong, who is infected with the cold. Not only did they not help to persuade them, but they were fanning the flames.

Although many doubts made Li Tai suspicious, Li Tai did not dare to take risks. If Li Tai wants to expose their tricks, I can only let Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong compete.

If they find that they can't do anything, they can stop talking. If they insist on going their own way, they will play the whole play. That's going to be a really hard thing to handle.

Just when Li Tai didn't know what to do, Yu Chigong had already walked outside the Jinluan Palace. And he stretched out his hand and grabbed the golden lion on his left.

Then, with heavy and steady steps, he walked into the Jinluan Palace. Seeing this scene, Li Tai thought to himself, it seems that this is going to be real.
