Chapter 158 Banquet
Today, Gu Lei also specially washed and dressed up. He was dressed in a moon-white tunic with narrow sleeves. He was tall and leggy, with a silver hair crown.
Grandpa Li and Grandpa Gu also attended together, and today both important figures made an appearance.
Grandpa Li looked around the children, nodded in satisfaction, "Cheer up, there is a tough battle to fight today, don't let the clansmen look down on us, we are not homeless dogs."
"Here."
The two families agreed in unison.
Master Li and Grandpa Gu deliberately chose to ride a horse instead of a carriage today, which is a sign of power.
The old man has been a soldier all his life, and he is very good at riding horses. Regardless of his age, he is better than many young people. He doesn’t need a stool to get on a horse.
Grandpa Gu also got on the horse and waved.
The carriage started, Gu Lin was present today, she is the wife of the Hou Mansion, no matter whether she is competent or not, she is a first-class wife.
Third Aunt Gu can't even go to such an occasion, let alone Second Aunt Gu, who is not eligible to enter the banquet gate.
Everyone entered the banquet hall, according to the rules, to attend the banquet one and a half hours in advance to wait and adjust the seats.
The seats given by the Night King to the Li family are all at the front, and the family members must be ranked behind the two of them.
This is based on the official position. It is true that the family has deep roots, but the official position is not as high as the Li family, and the credit is not as much as the two families.
Everyone sat in the seats one by one. Li Yu sat next to his mother, his father and brother sat opposite, and the two old people sat in the first row closest to the Night King. When they looked up, they could see the Night King and Princess Night.
"There are quite a lot of people here today. I heard that they will rehabilitate us in public. This is the result of negotiations between the Night King and the new emperor."
Wang said with a serious face.
"Does it make sense, the second uncle and the second aunt can't come back, and the third brother died in vain?"
Li Yu had a smile on his face, but his heart was pierced when he asked.
"It is useful, proving that the Gu and Li families have a clean reputation."
Mrs. Xie turned her head and answered her seriously.
Xie Jia sat next to her and could hear clearly.
Li Yu took a deep breath and remained silent.
"Son, I understand your pain. My husband left early, leaving us orphans and widowed mothers... Reputation is very important. It proves their innocence, loyalty and patriotism. Think about Brother Xu, his future future..."
Mrs. Xie is now in-laws with the Li family.
"What you said is that the younger generation is narrow-minded."
"It hurts too much..."
Madam Xie sighed and shook her head.
During the talk, everyone came one after another.
Soon the time came, Geng Li and other talents arrived late, followed by the Night King and Princess Night.
The banquet just started, and the Night King raised a glass to invite everyone to have a drink together, and said a few words of congratulations.
After drinking a glass of wine, King Ye changed the topic, "Today, General Geng not only came to collect the annual offering, but also specially brought an imperial decree."
Night King glanced at Geng Li, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.
Geng Li stood up, glanced at the Li family, with contempt and contempt in his eyes.
Slowly asked the palace man to take out the imperial decree, "I didn't expect you to wait until today, but what's the use?"
"Aren't you like a bereaved dog, waiting for me to issue a rehabilitative decree for you, hahahahaha!"
Geng Li laughed at the Li family in front of the full court guests, laughed at Mr. Li and Mr. Li and his son.
Li Yu stared at him with fire in his eyes, and clenched his fists, wishing he could punch him twice and wrench his head off.
"Geng Li, you are here to ruin the king's place. I thought the emperor was sensible, but he was deceived by the villain."
The Night King stood up and pointed at him angrily.
"The last general dare not."
"There are also things you, General Geng, dare not do. This is a big joke."
Li Rui stood up and raised his wine glass, "When we left the city that day, General Geng gave the Li family a big gift. My second aunt was shot by General Geng with more than a dozen arrows, and my second uncle, third brother, fifth brother and seventh brother rushed to rescue him. People were shot and killed, but my second uncle and aunt survived, General Geng was kind and righteous, and my Li family remembers your great kindness!"
Thalang claimed to praise his great achievements.
The guests present were in an uproar, insulted women and children, and shot and killed Li Jiaerlang with women as bait. This is something only animals can do.
It's men who should fight with real swords and guns, each of them is his master and shrouded in horse leather. It's not shameful, but you are definitely not a gentleman when you threaten a woman's life.
General Geng's face changed suddenly, "Nonsense, the emperor has a decree that day..."
"What is the purpose? Read it aloud and let us know."
Li Yu also stood up and roared.
There is no will at all, everything happened too suddenly on the night of seizing the throne, so where is the will.
The new emperor is usurping power and taking the throne. He has no great seal and did not inherit the imperial decree of the great unification. He had to **** the throne by rebellion, so he wanted to kill the family members of Gu and Li. Without their approval, the two families have military power to fear that they will rebel.
Those who disobeyed him, such as Zaifu and other high-ranking officials, were all killed by him, so that there would be no voice of opposition.
"You, you are still a child, how can you speak?"
Geng Li stared at Li Yu viciously, like the core of a poisonous snake, his whole body was cold.
"I am the sufferer, why can't I say it. If you don't dare to say it, I will say it for you. The people you want to kill are me and my brother. My brother is less than nine years old this year. It is my second aunt who protects us with her life. You ordered to shoot him privately." An important minister of the imperial court, the crime deserves to be punished!"
Li Yu gritted his teeth and roared loudly, the veins on his forehead burst out, and his eyes were fierce.
One hand was behind his back, tightly clenched into a fist, creaking, wishing he could rush up and crush him to death.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other. At this time, Li Yu and Li Rui try their best to restrain their emotions, and the scenes of the past reappear in their minds.
It seems that the second uncle is holding the second aunt, and the two are full of arrows, cuddling each other.
"Today's wine is good, just one glass of wine will make you all drunk, and you are all talking nonsense. Geng Li, don't you read the imperial decree, do you read it or not?"
Old man Gu spoke lightly, without any emotion in his voice. This technique of nourishing qi is enough for Li Yu and his sister to learn for half a lifetime.
"yes."
Geng Li took a deep breath and didn't hold back his breath, flicked his sleeves and began to read the imperial decree.
The imperial decree is to restore the official positions and all treatment of the Gu and Li families, and to clarify that it was the villain's slander. Now that the truth has been found out, the two lovers are still loyal and patriotic, and they were first transferred to protect the land in front of the Night King.
Li Yu sat down slowly, and hummed softly, which was very clear in the hall.
Restore all official positions and treatment, shit, it’s just a gimmick, there is no money, no people, the official position is given by the Night King, in fact, it is to put money on one’s face, and to make up for it back.
"Let Li Qi accept the order."
Boss Li glanced at him, hooked his hands at him, "Send it to me."
Geng Li froze for a moment, but didn't react.
"Why, you still want me to kneel down for you. Believe it or not, if I twist your neck off now, do you think the emperor will make another decree to kill me for you?"
Boss Li chuckled, his eyes extremely contemptuous.
