Chapter 133: The Hongmen Banquet
"The crown prince and the king of Qi feasted the king of Qin, what kind of routine is this?" Yun Hao and Li Shentong looked at each other, not understanding that people's heads were about to hit the dog's head, and they actually wanted to drink together. When you are really in Taiyuan, brother and brother Gong?
The prince said that this was a family banquet, and only Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie followed King Qin. The princess said that let me invite the king of Huainan, since it is a family banquet, it must be okay for you to go. ”
"There's evil aura in this, Yun boy, do you see something in your mind?" Li Shentong couldn't figure it out and asked Yun Hao.
There is no good wine and no good banquet, and Xiang Yu's Hongmen banquet back then is a representative. Could it be that Li Jiancheng dared to ambush the axe man and kill Li Er? There is no such possibility, although Li Yuan is old, he is not confused. The fight between sons must have a degree, and when such a thing happens, Li Yuan will not hesitate to kill Li Jiancheng. That would ...... Is it going to be poisoned?
Yun Hao's mind flashed, yes! Li Jiancheng wanted to poison Li Er, which was not fundamentally different from ambushing the knife and axe. But the method is relatively hidden, even if Li Yuan has a pimple in his heart. Li Jiancheng is also very likely to have a way to get by!
"Lord Wang, hurry up and go to the East Palace. I'm afraid things have changed, and when you get to the East Palace, you must not let King Qin drink. Otherwise, there will be a fear for your life. ”
"The prince dares to poison?" Li Shentong's eyes widened, he didn't believe that Li Jiancheng dared to do this. In the current court situation, Li Jiancheng still occupies the position of the prince. Compared with Li Er, he still has an advantage, and if he really poisons Li Er, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"It's hard to say now, anyway, just hurry up and go to the East Palace."
Li Er's heart was also pondering, Li Jiancheng, who had no warning today, took Li Yuanji to invite him personally. These days, there is constant friction between Admiral's Mansion and the subordinates of the East Palace, and Li Jiancheng said that it was caused by the division between brothers, and he must invite Li Er to have a meal today. Show your brothers, friends and brothers to the next people, don't guess nonsense all day.
This reason is too far-fetched, and the ghost believes it! But Li Er couldn't refuse, after all, there was still a brother. By the way, I have to put on a brotherly posture with my father.
Riding on the horse, Li Er deliberately slowed the horse very slowly. He even hoped that it would take 10,000 years to walk this road. But Admiral Tiance's mansion was not far from the East Palace, and the war horse under his crotch still stubbornly brought him to the gate of the East Palace.
"Second brother, we won't invite any of our brothers today. I want those who chew their tongues to see, our brothers are fine. There is absolutely nothing they say, and it also makes my father see that the brothers of our Li family are united, as long as our brothers are here, the country of Datang is as solid as a rock. As soon as Li Er got off the horse, Li Jiancheng immediately grabbed Li Er's sleeve. The words were beautiful, and Li Yuanlai was faintly brought out. Li Er had to nod yes!
"Second brother, my brother has offended a lot before, so I have to give my second brother a cup for a while. Anyway, the younger brother and the second brother haven't been drinking together for a long time. Li Yuanji also came over, and after being imprisoned for a month, he actually gained some weight. But his face was a little rounder, and he listened a lot when he spoke.
"What the fourth brother said is that our brothers will have a good drink in a while." Li Jiancheng said as he and Li Yuanji left and right, holding Li Er in the middle and walking towards the East Palace.
Along the way, there was a burst of drums, and the singers dressed in cool clothes sang and danced along the way. From time to time, he also threw flattering eyes at Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin and others behind Li Er, and Qin Qiong and Lao Cheng did not squint. Liu Hongji saw that the harazi was about to flow down, and it was estimated that his soul would be taken away after a while.
When I came to the main hall of the East Palace, there were only three seats in the hall.
"Second brother, let's drink together today. No one else is waiting to see me, and there is no one left in my East Palace guards. The fourth brother brought two permanent entourages today, and one of us can leave one palace person to wait. The rest of the people all went to the side hall to eat and drink, so as not to block our brother's Yaxing. How is it? Walking to the door of the main hall, Li Jiancheng said with a smile.
Li Er looked inside the main hall, as if to reassure Li Er. The screens in the main hall have been removed, and you can see everything in the hall clearly when you stand at the entrance of the hall.
In the huge hall, there is only one round table, and a palace maid sits kneeling next to the round table. Even in the entire hall, there is not even a single chamberlain. Qin Qiong originally wanted to go in and check it, but when she saw this situation, she still checked her fart, and everything was exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
"Uh......!"
"What? The second brother still can't believe the eldest brother? Li Jiancheng saw Li Er's hesitation, and his face suddenly darkened.
"You go to the side hall to eat and drink!" Things have come to this point, and Li Er can't help it. However, with their own martial arts, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji combined may not be opponents.
"Your Highness, the last general is afraid that there will be irrelevant people who will disturb a few highnesses to eat and drink. Please allow a certain family to guard the door for the three highnesses! "The Prince's East Palace is a wolf's den for Li Er, how could Qin Qiong be willing to leave Li Er here alone.
"Oh, it's rare for you to have this heart. Second brother, let Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie guard the door. Whoever dares to spoil this feast of our brothers will let them break that man's leg. Before Li Er could speak, Li Yuanji spoke happily. This time, Qin Qiong was a little confused. Could it be that today's feast is really as simple as eating wine?
"Then do as King Qi wants!" Li Er had no choice but to agree with Li Yuanji's words. But my heart is getting more and more nervous, and if something is abnormal, it will be a demon. Today's meal is full of evil.
When the subordinate officials of the East Palace heard this, they immediately dragged Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan and others to the side hall. Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie stood at the door of the hall on the left and right, holding a horizontal knife to kill the gods. Cheng Yanjin's face was hideous, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Qin Qiong was even more angry and arrogant, not to mention that people and ghosts trembled when they saw it. With these two guards, even if there are thirty or fifty people, Li Er is not afraid.
Everyone left, and Li Jiancheng took Li Er's arm and dragged Li Er into the main hall.
Sitting down on Li Er's shoulder, Li Jiancheng said: "Today, our brothers use the Yun family's way of eating, and they are all our own brothers, so don't share this or that seat." We were eating and drinking at the same table, and we seemed close. ”
Li Er was stunned again, he originally thought that Li Jiancheng would do something in the meal. But now they are all eating at the same table, and Li Jiancheng, who eats by himself, also eats. Could it be that they take the antidote first and then take the poison?
"What are you doing in a daze, don't pour wine." When Li Yuanji saw Li Er sitting still, he immediately ordered the only palace person in the hall to pour wine.
A scene that made Li Er even more confused appeared, and the wine in the big altar opened the mud. Instead of pouring into a flask, into a huge gold bottle. The crisp Yunjia steamed wine was poured in, and the aroma of the wine was immediately overflowing.
"The ancestors of our Guanlong Li family are grassland people, and today our brothers will use the grassland drinking method. Stir a spoon in a gold bottle, regardless of you and me. Li Jiancheng said with a big grin, and the palace people used a spoon to scoop wine into everyone's wine bowl.
The doubts in Li Er's heart were even stronger, and he couldn't figure out what Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were going to do today. Everyone eats the dish together, and it is impossible to poison it. The wine was placed in a golden bottle and spooned into the bowl. If he is poisoned, then Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji will not be able to escape.
The wine is poured into the bowl, and the wine is clear and strong. At first glance, it is the best Yunjia steamed wine!
"Second brother, this first bowl of wine is quiet for you. Family and all things prosper, may our brothers be as harmonious in the future as they are today. This is not only the blessing of our brothers, but also the blessing of Datang. Come on, do it! Li Jiancheng picked up the wine bowl and drank it all!
No matter how Li Er looks, the bowl in front of him doesn't look like a bowl of poisonous wine. Even if it was poisonous wine, Li Jiancheng poured it into his stomach first.
"Second brother,!" Li Yuanji saw that Li Er did not move, and also poured down the steamed wine in front of him.
Now Li Er had no choice but to follow the brothers and drink the wine. A bowl of wine went down to the stomach, and from the throat to the stomach, it seemed to be on fire. He spat out a mouthful of wine and drank "Good wine." ”
"The second brother didn't know, this was the wine that the eldest brother buried in the Taiyuan Hidden Mansion in his early years. There are only these three jars in the world, and today my brother is also blessed by you. Li Yuanji said with a smile.
"Hey......! At that time, Yun Hao had just come to our house and made the first batch of steamed wine and sent it to the house. I heard that this wine is getting more and more mellow, so I thought that when I buried a few jars and waited for the inheritance of the clan to get married, our brothers could get drunk and rest. What a pity! ”
"Big brother, Chengzong ......!" Speaking of this nephew who died early, Li Er's mood was not very good.
"I don't know what's wrong, I buried more than a dozen jars. The only ones that can be retrieved in their entirety are these jars. The rest, somehow, is broken. Perhaps, God only let our brothers drink these three jars. Come, don't get drunk today, don't go home. Li Jiancheng was aroused by the sadness, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
Li Er had no choice but to drink another bowl.
"Big brother, Chengzong is gone. Isn't there still a way to believe, don't be sad. Today is a happy day for our brothers, don't patronize drinking and eating some food. Second brother, this leg of lamb is good today. The eldest brother specially borrowed the imperial kitchen from his father, you can try it! After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he used his silver chopsticks to clip a piece of mutton leg for Li Jiancheng and Li Er.
"The cooks of the imperial kitchen are all from the Yun family. The craftsmanship is still a little worse than that of the Yun family, but it is much better than the chefs in the East Palace. Second brother, eat! Li Jiancheng picked up the leg of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, nodding frequently while eating, as if it wasn't him who was sad just now.
Li Er didn't know what tricks the two of them were playing, but he made up his mind. After they had clamped everything, Li Er stretched out his chopsticks to clip them. Everyone used silver chopsticks, and when I looked at the chopsticks, they were shiny and shiny, and there was no trace of obscurity at all.
Could it be that I really came here today just to eat?
"You boys, you don't think about the old man when you eat, it's extremely hateful!" A voice came from outside the hall abruptly!
