Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 171 Another Failed Hongmen Banquet
Chen Wang Yu Wenchun was sitting in Qizhou. Yang Jian was afraid that he would rebel, so he sent Cui Peng and two followers to summon Yu Wenchun to Beijing.

Cui Peng came to a place thirty miles away from Qizhou, pretended to be sick, stopped at the post station, and sent someone to deliver a message to Yu Wenchun: "The emperor has an edict to deliver to the residence of King Chen. Cui Peng is suffering from illness and cannot be forced to walk. , May King Chen come to Chuanshe in person.”

Yu Wenchun suspected that Cui Peng's letter was tricky, so he brought a large number of cavalry to Cui Peng's residence.

Cui Peng walked out of the post station to greet him, seeing that Yu Wenchun was suspicious of him, and worried that he would not return to Beijing with him, so he said: "Whether Chen Wang can withdraw the part, someone has a secret letter to tell you."

Yu Wenchun didn't know there was any deceit, and he had many followers on his own, not afraid of Cui Peng's tricks, so he waved Buqu to stay away.

Cui Peng said again: "King Chen, a certain edict is about to be read out, please dismount and listen."

Yu Wenchun dismounted obediently, and Cui Peng immediately said to the two attendants: "Chen Wang refused to listen to the emperor's call, so arrest him."

Two attendants immediately grabbed Yu Wenchun and locked him up.

Cui Peng drew out his sword and put it on Yu Wenchun's neck, and said loudly: "King Chen is guilty, the emperor has been conscripted into the court, and the rest are not allowed to move."

King Chen panicked and said, "Don't come up, be careful with the sword."

Yu Wenchun's trilogy watched helplessly as his master was caught, but there was nothing he could do.

The other three princes were also tricked or captured into Chang'an City.

The situation was not stable, Yang Jian didn't dare to go too far, but showed respect to the five princes, not only let the little emperor reward them with many treasures, but also let them go to the palace with swords, giving them enough face.

But after a period of time, Yang Jian had controlled most of the officials in the court, and with the military power in his hands, he was not as respectful to the five kings as before, and the government did not notify the five kings to participate.

The five kings got together and studied for a long time, preparing to give Yang Jian a grand banquet.

Xiao Chuan heard that Yang Jian was going to Zhao Wang's mansion for a banquet, so he hurried to the prime minister's mansion.

Xiao Chuan dissuaded him: "Uncle, there is no such thing as a good banquet, so you'd better not go."

Yang Jian said: "It's okay, now the more than [-] forbidden troops in Chang'an City are under the control of someone, and the little King Zhao can't make big waves."

Seeing that Yang Jian insisted on going to the banquet, Xiao Chuan had no choice but to say: "Then go with uncle."

Yang Jian said: "Someone is escorted by Yuanwei and Yuantong, so nothing will go wrong."

Xiao Chuan said: "If I don't go, I will always worry about it."

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Okay, then you can follow."

Lined with soft armor and wearing a long robe, Yang Jian swaggered to Prince Zhao's mansion.

Before arriving at King Zhao's Mansion, Wubaiqu was fully armed and guarded the mansion.

Seeing Yang Jian's arrival, a staff member of the palace came forward to greet him, and said with a smile on his face, "Your prime minister is here, my mansion is really full of splendor."

Yang Jian also smiled and said: "Hahaha, the nobles of King Zhao's family, the truth is that I have long wanted to visit the mansion."

After a few words of politeness, Yang Jian stepped forward, and the guards behind him also wanted to go in, but was stopped by the leader of the palace, and his sword was on the verge of breaking out.

Yang Jian turned his head and said: "Yuanzhou, Duguchuan went to the banquet with the real minister, Li Yuantong, you and other guards are waiting outside the gate of the mansion."

Yang Jian swaggered into Zhao Wang's mansion, followed closely by Yuan Zhou and Xiao Chuan. Both of them put their right hands on the handles of their swords at their waists, and looked around vigilantly.

Yuan Zhou didn't see anything, Xiao Chuan turned on the "Time and Space Live Broadcast", but on the screen he could clearly see many knives ambushing outside the banquet hall of the palace in the distance.

Zhao Wang Yuwenzhao was waiting at the second gate. When he saw Yang Jian approaching, he stepped down to greet him with a smile.

The two exchanged a few hypocritical greetings, and walked into the banquet hall arm in arm.

Yu Wenzhao is less than 40 years old, handsome, unrestrained and suave, no wonder she can give birth to a beautiful girl like Yu Wenyan.

Entering the banquet hall, Yang Jian and Yu Wenzhao sat on the floor facing each other, Yuan Zhou and Xiao Chuan stood behind Yang Jian, but there was no one behind Yu Wenzhao, only the aide was accompanied by the prime minister.

Xiao Chuan secretly thought: "Isn't it the Hongmen Banquet? Why didn't Xiang Zhuang arrange a sword dance?"

Yu Wenzhao is also depressed now: "Guanghe has set up knives and axes outside the banquet hall, why did he forget to arrange a few guards with strong martial arts inside, and let someone do it himself later?"

Yu Wenzhao couldn't help but turned his head to look at the staff, glared at him fiercely, and said in his heart: "What an idiot, I have to personally consider the arrangement of assassins, what's the use of you?"

The staff would have misunderstood him, thinking that the prince was praising him, so he slapped the fan in his hand with a smile, looking confident.

Delicacies from mountains and seas came up like flowing water, Yu Wenzhao and Yang Jian toasted frequently, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Yu Wenzhao stood up, picked up the wine glass, came to Yang Jian, and said: "Prime Minister, you are His Majesty's grandfather. He helps His Majesty deal with the government affairs every day, takes care of all kinds of affairs, and works hard for the country. It is really hard work. Every day, I offer you a glass."

Yang Jian didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly stood up, speaking politely, he raised his wine glass and wanted to clink with Yu Wenzhao.

Unexpectedly, Yuwen waved his hand and trembled, and the wine glass slipped down.

"Smash the cup to win!"

A thought flashed across Xiao Chuan's mind, and he immediately used his ninja skills, came to Yuwenzhao in a "shua", leaned over, reached out to catch the falling wine glass firmly, handed it to Yuwenzhao with both hands with a smile, and said, "Zhao King, not a single drop of your wine has been spilled."

Yu Wenzhao's cheek muscles twitched a few times, took the wine glass, touched Yang Jian, then threw his neck back and finished.

It's just that the wine that I usually think is delicious is as bitter as medicine this time.

My heart is bitter.

Yu Wen made a quick decision, picked up the mutton dagger on Yang Jian's table, tied a piece of mutton, and said, "Prime Minister, let's eat another piece of meat after drinking."

After speaking, Yu Wenzhao held the dagger and stabbed Yang Jian in the mouth.

Yang Jian is both civil and military. He has forged courage throughout his many years of military service. When he saw the dagger that was stabbing him, he opened his mouth and bit the dagger.

Yuan Zhou reacted very quickly, stretched out two fingers of his right hand to pinch the side of the dagger, and said with a smile: "King Zhao is being polite, let the general cut the meat for the prime minister."

Yuwen used all his strength, but seeing that he couldn't shake the dagger even an inch, he stepped down from the donkey, let go of his hand, laughed dryly, and said, "Okay, then General Yuan will have to work hard."

Yang Jian moved his head back, the dagger left his mouth, a large piece of mutton fell into his mouth, he chewed and swallowed it, and said: "The meat cut by King Zhao is still delicious."

Yuwen Zhaogan said with a smile: "Prime Minister likes to eat more."

Yang Jian said with a smile: "Okay, I will not return today if I am not drunk with King Zhao."

After speaking, Yang Jian picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Xiao Chuan and Yuan Zhou were worried, "Prime Minister, why don't you know what's going on? Zhao Wang's mansion is now a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, just drink and eat, and you still want to drink until you lose consciousness?"

Xiao Chuan winked at Yuan Zhou, Yuan Zhou understood, helped Yang Jian up and said, "Prime Minister, are you going to change clothes? I will help you there."

Yang Jian waved his hand and said: "Someone is not drunk, but one can still drink. Come, King Zhao, let's drink three more cups in a row!"

Yuan Zhou didn't care about that, he supported Yang Jian and walked out, while walking, he said: "Brother Dugu, you have two drinks with Zhao Wang, and the prime minister is going to change clothes."
