~~~~~~

Although Li Yuanqing and Huang Liji did not speak, Li Yuanqing clearly understood Huang Liji's intention.

The meaning is very clear, 'My time is indeed short, but I can still be like you, here, under the eyes of the emperor, drinking and eating meat comfortably. And you, I'm afraid it won't take long.

You should be like me and follow in my footsteps'.

"This old dog!"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but spit in his heart.

Even though Li Yuanqing was at the bottom of the city at this time, he was still very unhappy after being so 'tickled' by Huang Liji.

It’s no wonder that some sages in later generations concluded, “Some people are really bad when it comes to doing good things. But when it comes to doing bad things, each one of them is better than the other!”

At this time, it was almost certain that Huang Liji, the backbone of the Eunuch Party, would be dismissed from his post or even be convicted.

But he is a senior official after all, and even the new emperor Zhu Youjian would not dare to mess with him until the matter comes to light.

Therefore, he still enjoys the glory of the elder.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing suddenly laughed.

Huang Liji, this old dog, is worthy of being an immortal who has been immersed in officialdom for decades.

If Li Yuanqing really got his way, something might happen tonight.

At this time, Li Yuanqing also followed Huang Liji's example, sitting upright with a smile on his face, as if he was an eminent monk.

"This hateful mud-legged guy! It's really..."

Opposite Li Yuanqing, not far above, Huang Liji didn't expect~ that Li Yuanqing had reacted so quickly, and even put on such an appearance to 'tick' him, he couldn't help but spit in his heart!

Although he knew that he was no longer able to defeat him in the general situation, Huang Liji had actually resigned himself to his fate.

He understood very well that his once glorious political life had come to an end and there was no room for maneuver.

But at this time, Huang Liji was already a veteran of the Four Dynasties. Not to mention highly respected, at least he was famous all over the world. He had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor, and the court.

Huang Liji will not worry about his safety after losing power.

To put it bluntly, ‘leave a thin line in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future’.

At his level, the new emperor Zhu Youjian, even if he hates him very much, can never do things too badly.

What does the new emperor need most when he ascends the throne?

It’s reputation, it’s people’s support, it’s stability, it’s the overall situation!

If Huang Liji was directly killed and Huang Liji's old life was taken away, how would the people of the world, especially the scholars of the world, view his new emperor?

This is the privilege of readers!

It is an unwritten rule in the world.

It is Huang Liji’s ‘gold medal to avoid death’.

But after all, he is a person standing in the clouds.

From a dignified old man with great power and superiority to tens of millions of people, he suddenly turned into a bad old man who could only work at home. How could Huang Liji accept this psychological gap for a while?

Especially back then, Li Yuanqing was slapped in the face, which made the Huang family lose their face.

If Huang Liji hadn't been so humble, his precious grandson Huang Yujue would have been beaten to death by Li Yuanqing right under his nose.

Huang Liji was powerless against those big-shot political opponents, but~~, he still had sufficient and confident confidence to deal with a lowly bastard like Li Yuanqing.

As long as he can successfully arouse the anger of Li Yuanqing, there will be great things to watch next.

But Huang Liji never dreamed that in a moment, Li Yuanqing would actually react and be still in this state, provoking him like this!

This, this is simply intolerable!

He, Li Yuanqing, is just a bastard. Why, why should he, a disciple of a saint and a dignified elder, challenge him like this?

At this time, although Huang Liji was hiding it well on the surface, his hand holding the wine glass tightly and his slightly trembling wrist showed that this old dog had absolutely nothing in his heart.

The surface is so calm.

How could Li Yuanqing waste this opportunity?

The smile on Ying Ting's face not only grew bigger and bigger, but the movements of his hands were also imitating Huang Liji's, holding the wine glass and trembling slightly.

Especially after Li Yuanqing's deliberate exaggeration, it is simply lifelike!

At this time, others may not understand, but how could Huang Liji not understand?

This~, this is Li Yuanqing, that bastard, living under the emperor's nose, slapping him hard on the old face!

He is mocking!

Laugh at him Huang Liji, he is old and useless!

"Li Yuanqing, you thief, I must cut you to pieces with a thousand knives to relieve my hatred!"

Huang Liji almost jumped up with anger.

He wants to question Li Yuanqing, this bastard, in front of the new emperor. Do you still know about dignity and inferiority? Do you still know the rules of the court?

But at this time, Li Yuanqing poured a bucket of oil on the fire.

In front of him, there seemed to be some kind of flies or mosquitoes, and Li Yuanqing's big hands were constantly flicking them back and forth.

Others, those who don't know, may think that there is some bug in front of Li Yuanqing that makes Li Yuanqing act like this.

But how could Huang Liji, who had been watching Li Yuanqing, not understand? Li Yuanqing had jumped on the table and slapped him in the face in public!

"Old man, old man..."

For a moment, Huang Liji was about to jump up. Even if he had to fight with his old face, he would still seek justice in front of the emperor!

But he is a cunning old fox after all.

I have gone through so many storms in this life.

After a moment, he suddenly came to his senses. Li Yuanqing was deliberately scratching him. He was deliberately provoking his anger and making him look embarrassed!

If he really fell into Li Yuanqing's way, wouldn't it mean that Li Yuanqing was "treating the other person in his own way"?

After a while, Huang Liji's face returned to a calm and calm smile, his hands stopped shaking, and his breath became smoother. It was as if all his problems were cured all of a sudden.

opposite.

Li Yuanqing's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

This old dog is really a good old dog! This energy-raising skill is really...

However, Li Yuanqing is not in a hurry. Since Zhu Youjian asked him to come here tonight, it will not be in vain. He still has plenty of opportunities.

But Huang Liji, an old dog, may not have much say.

A wave of silent small-movement offensive quickly dissipated.

At this time, the banquet officially entered its rhythm. Everyone changed glasses and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Zhu Youjian even stepped down from the throne in person and came to the middle of the ministers. He met several big shots one by one and toasted with honor. He was humble and gentle, and he was simply a handsome gentleman.

Immediately, a group of sycophants around him cheered loudly, calling him ‘The King of Zhongxing Shengming’.

Li Yuanqing could not deny this.

No matter how humble Zhu Youjian is and if he puts on a show, this wine glass will never reach him, Li Yuanqing, at the end.

This is exactly the case.

After putting on a good show in front of the big guys in front, Zhu Youjian returned to the dragon throne reservedly.

He brought another round of wine. At this time, the atmosphere of the banquet was just right. Everyone was half-drunk and in high spirits.

Zhu Youjian stood up at this time and said with a smile: "Dear dear ministers, dear ministers, I ask you to be quiet for a moment."

The design of this hall is very clever, and the position of the dragon chair has a very good amplification effect.

Even though Zhu Youjian's voice was not loud, even Li Yuanqing at the end could hear his words clearly.

The emperor has spoken, who dares to make noise again?

The hall immediately fell silent.

Zhu Youjian was obviously very satisfied with everyone's attitude and smiled calmly: "Everyone, there has been good news in the DPRK recently. I know that many of you already know it. Because the battle report has been reported. But I think,

Dear ministers and dear friends, you may not necessarily know the details. Fortunately, today, Li Yuanqing and Li Shuai from Liaonan are also at the banquet. We have invited Li Yuanqing and Li Shuai to give us a detailed explanation.

How about the exciting details of this Liao-Central-Southern Campaign to help you enjoy it?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"We, the Ming Dynasty, have won successive battles in the Liao region in recent years, especially the emperor's great talents and strategies, who have guided the country. I am afraid that the trouble of the Eastern slaves in the Liao region will come to an end in a few days!"

"That's right! Only with the foresight of a sage like the emperor can Li Shuai achieve such a great victory!"

"..."

The sound of flattery was heard all around, and Zhu Youjian couldn't help but laugh.
