Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The largest tent in the middle is for the men to fight for wine.

Satisfied, Li Yuan went to work, and handed over the remaining sporadic tasks to Xue Wanche, who was rushing to help.

It has basically been decided that Princess Danyang will marry the Xue family.

The old guy's eyes were vicious, and he could tell at a glance that Xue Wanche was here to curry favor with his father-in-law.

At this moment, Li Yuan was holding the glazed cup and shaking it gently.

He likes grape wine the most, the dark red wine is the most pleasing to the eye only when it is placed in a glass cup.

Fang Xuanling and others sat aside, talking with the Supreme Emperor.

Wang Ji and Li Yuan are of the same generation, and they had a good relationship in the early years, and they are the closest to him.

"That guy Liu Bai doesn't know the rules, and the Supreme Emperor is here, and he doesn't even know he's here to entertain him!"

It is rare for Li Yuan to say a few good words for others.

"With such a big family, there are many things that need to be busy. I am a lonely old man, what can I entertain?"

Wang Ji and the others looked at each other.

When did the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and Liu Bai become so good?

It turned out that he wasn't mean, but he had always shown no good looks towards Li Er's close ministers.

While talking, large and small plates of appetizers and snacks were served.

Among this group of people, Dai Zhou was the youngest, so he could only pick up the tray and run to the long table outside to get food for everyone.

They are clear about the rules of the Liu family.

At the private banquet, no one called the servants and maids.

It's fun to do it yourself.

Seeing that the hour of You had arrived, the servants set up the grills and ingredients and left the venue one after another.

Li Ke became the master cook in the tent in the middle. A whole piece of marinated lamb chop was placed on the barbecue rack and soaked in a layer of oil.

With a sound of 'stab la la', the fragrance wafted out immediately.

In the tent where the women lived, Changle regarded herself as a half-hostess and "cooked" herself, which attracted a lot of applause.

Han Tong and the others had a low status, so there was no one to serve them.

However, they were not out of sight.

Yan Lide used the posture of holding a paintbrush, holding a big brush, and brushing the sauce on the meat skewers layer by layer.

The atmosphere was very good and harmonious, the only thing that made people feel awkward was, why didn't Master Liu come out?

It's fine if Li Chengqian and Chai Lingwu are not here, why don't Xu Chu, Wang Shouren, and Shen Wansan show up?

Li Ke was curious.

In the afternoon, when Liu Bai called Shen Wansan away, he felt that something had happened.

After he grilled the lamb chops, he called Li Fengjie over, took his place as the chef, and walked towards Liu Bai's study.

When passing the porch, I found a few young people putting their heads together, chatting furtively.

Seeing Li Ke coming, they separated instantly!

"His Royal Highness King Wu!"

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Wu!"

Li Ke was puzzled.

They don't go to barbecue, what are they doing here?

In the porch, the wind is blowing, isn't it too cold?

Among these people are Fang Xuanling's eldest son Fang Yizhi, the Du family's eldest son Du Gou, the Xiao family's eldest son Xiao Rui, and Dai Zhou's eldest son Dai Zhide.

Fang Xuanling and his six elder brothers, including the eldest son of the family, are all there!

Li Ke is not a fool, he can see that there is something hidden here at a glance.

But he didn't ask either.

Definitely won't get an answer if you ask.

"The lamb chops have been grilled, and the brothers can take them at will"

Li Ke cupped his hands with a smile, and passed through the crowd.

Seeing Li Ke's back disappear, Xiao Rui, the oldest among the group, shivered suddenly.

"Do you think His Highness King Wu has seen our plan?"

Fang Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "I guess I can see it."

Du Gou shook his head and said: "It may not be a bad thing if you see it. In short, when Mr. Liu comes out later, we must behave well!"

Everyone responded in unison, looking extremely nervous.

Li Ke came to the courtyard where the study was located.

Xu Chu was closing his eyes and guarding the gate.

Li Ke understood it at a glance!

Something must have happened!

None of the core members of the Liu family were left behind, and they were all in the yard.

The standard of this meeting was very high, otherwise, Xu Chu would not have personally guarded the gate!

"Big Brother Xu"

Li Ke said softly.

Xu Chu opened his eyes and waved his finger at Li Ke.

"Master and the others are talking about something, you can go in later!"

Li Ke nodded, his mind was full of swords, guns and halberds flying around.

Could it be that the aristocratic family is making trouble again?

After waiting for less than half a moment, there was a sound of answering from inside.

Soon, people all came out hula la.

Seeing Li Ke standing at the door, Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Those people outside didn't say hello, what are they doing here?"

Li Ke leaned forward and whispered, "Is there something wrong again?"

Li Chengqian glared at him and said, "It has nothing to do with you, don't guess!"

After speaking, he frowned and left.

Even a fool can see that something big must have happened!

Liu Bai was the last one to come out and locked the gate of the yard himself.

There are a lot of people in the house today, and it's full of secrets, so don't let them see it!

Li Ke asked Liu Bai again.

Liu Bai shook his head, "Let's get the banquet done first, there are some things that can't be rushed for a while."

Of course, they are discussing how to speed up the matter of dealing with the family.

Judging from the current situation, it is inevitable for the Lu family to raise troops!

It's just that Liu Bai still hasn't figured out how to tell Li Er the matter.

If Li Er had been told in advance, the Chang'an military would definitely take action.

But in this way, the situation in Goguryeo will be greatly affected.

The credit for capturing Goguryeo must never be missed.

According to this line of thinking, it is really impossible to tell Li Er the truth in a short time.

Moreover, no one knows what Li, Zheng, and Cui's family are planning.

If they raise troops at the same time, it will all be messed up.

It is safer to start with the economy.

In this way, it is possible to seize the opportunity, and it is even possible to completely eliminate the possibility of these few rising troops in the bud!

Li Ke didn't ask any more questions, and followed Liu Bai to the atrium.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered what happened just now.

"Brother Liu, Fang Yi went straight to them"

Liu Bai was startled when he heard this.

After meeting Fang Yizhi, Liu Bai discovered that the behavior of these eldest sons was completely different from what was recorded in history.

Not only are they not useless, but they are more refined than each other.

When they got together, they must have some kind of plan.

Reminiscent of some time ago, when Chai ordered Wu to be named Marquis, the changes caused by the second child of the major families.

Liu Bai had some guesses in his heart.

"Go! Go and see what they want to do!"

Chapter 522 Carry it out to the end, Li Ke is a teachable child

As Liu Bai expected, Fang Yizhi and others had been waiting for him in the porch leading to the atrium.

At the beginning, when Chai ordered Wu to be named Marquis, he stimulated all the second sons of the major families.

Liu Bai still remembered that they seemed to have formed some kind of alliance, the purpose was to seek more power for themselves, in case the family property and title were all taken away by the eldest son.

Even Li Tai was fooled into it.

Later, it was the Patriarchs who took action in person and gave them a hard lesson, and the alliance disappeared in smoke.

Thinking of what Fang Yizhi said in the morning, their plans are not difficult to guess.

It's nothing more than wanting to make some merits to show their father that as the eldest son, he is not just for nothing.

At present, in Chang'an City, all forces, large and small, are forced to dare not move by the two behemoths of the Liu family and the four great families.

If they wanted to do something big, they had no other choice other than the Liu family.

Among the six people, Liu Bai only met half of them.

Fang Yi only saw it in the morning.

Dai Zhide was once ordered by Dai Zhou to deliver money to Jingyang.

Xiao Rui is the oldest, and will marry the Princess of Xiangcheng in the spring of next year. He also has the official position of a servant and young minister, and he has met several times in the palace.

It's just that his official position is a false title, and it's all for fame.

There are many people like him in the court.

Just like Li Jing, Li Ji and others, they all have the title of minister of the Ministry of War on their heads.

But they can't even enter the Ministry of War, let alone manage the government affairs of the Ministry of War, even if they show the slightest idea, it is a serious crime!

"I've seen Young Master Liu!"

"Master Liu is well!"

Several people were so polite that when they saluted, their heads almost dropped to the crotch.

Fang Yi accompanied Xinxin all the time, and said, "Young Master Liu, what have you thought about this morning?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bai's thoughts were completely confirmed.

Moreover, he can basically conclude that the secret that Fang Yi told directly is not false.

Now that the purpose has been determined, it would be too unreasonable not to control them.
