A vicissitudes and powerful voice sounded.
The guests watching the play were all shocked.
The sound of singing followed closely.
"King Qi, I present you with two Ferghana horses from the Western Regions!"
The King of Qi is coming?!
Everyone was in an uproar.
King of Qi, Tian Zhongxun!
Owning the three richest eastern counties!
Thanks to sea salt, people live a prosperous life.
Therefore, the King of Qi was well-known in the local area.
They even only knew the King of Qi but not the Emperor!
Tian Zhongxun was once a strong rival of Prince Ning.
He was always suppressed by Prince Ning.
There are rumors that he was the one who secretly leaked the information to the people of Xiliang, which led to the death of the old King Ning at Yumen Pass. However, this is all speculation and there is no substantial evidence, just like some people speculate that it was Emperor Feng who did it.
Tian Zhongxun is over 60 years old.
His temples are gray and his face is wrinkled like ravines.
He looks a little ugly, but he is intimidating without even getting angry.
He wore a black dragon robe and a jade crown on his head.
He wore a black sash around his waist with a gold-inlaid jade seal hanging on it.
Every gesture exudes nobility.
His appearance immediately caused an uproar.
The King of Qi has been keeping a low profile these years.
Expand power secretly and stealthily.
But he never interfered in state affairs openly.
He declined all invitations from court ministers.
This time attending the Gu family banquet, he gave them enough face.
At the same time, it is also a disguised statement.
The Gu family belongs to the King of Qi!
He is not worried about the emperor's suspicion now.
The Gu family has grown.
Gu Yuan had made great military achievements and was ranked as a first-rank general.
This time we defeated the main force of Xiliang and made a great contribution!
Even if the emperor is unhappy, he has to use it with a pinch of his nose.
"We greet the prince!"
"Haha, no need to be polite." Tian Zhongxun waved his hand with a smile. After glancing at Ning Que, he teased, "Today is the Gu family's banquet. I can't take over the main event. What do you think, Crown Prince?"
"It's just that someone is bothering me."
Ning Que narrowed his eyes.
It's the same fake smile.
The old fox King Qi is not easy to deal with.
Having been in the court for many years, he has always been cautious.
He is extremely cunning and secretly recruits soldiers.
There is a subtle tendency to compete with Dafeng.
Among the four kings of different surnames, he is the most powerful.
When Prince Ning died in battle, he led three thousand personal guards to offer condolences.
They were wearing armor and carrying swords, armed to the teeth.
On the grounds that Ning Que had not yet reached adulthood, he was appointed to take charge of the Jingyang fiefdom!
This incident made Emperor Feng extremely angry.
Jingyang is the heroic county of Dafeng!
It is also a famous fertile land.
It is the fief of the Ning King of all generations.
What does the King of Qi mean?
Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate? !
But Emperor Feng had no choice.
I could only suppress my anger and agree.
"The Gu family is hosting a banquet, what's the meaning of the prince sending these?"
"What's the meaning of the Gu family holding a banquet to celebrate the anniversary of my father and brother's death?"
Ning Que refused to give in and fought back sharply.
The two of them were at loggerheads.
The atmosphere was full of tension for a while.
Gu Mingzhi hurried over.
He nodded and bowed to Ning Que.
"Sir, I have neglected this matter."
"I forgot that today is the anniversary of the death of the old King Ning."
"I hope the prince will calm down!"
Ning Que just looked at them.
Obviously, this is a step forward.
If we continue to pursue the matter, it will be his fault.
"Heh...then Master Gu should be careful."
"If I neglect this in the future, Master Gu, please don't get angry."
Gu Mingzhi frowned.
Is this a challenge?
But they are not afraid of Ning Que now!
Ning Que has no real power now.
And they have the King of Qi as their backer!
Are you afraid of him, an orphan with only a title?
"Your Highness is not in Jingyang to provide disaster relief, but has come to Chang'an for a banquet." Tian Zhongxun sneered and took the initiative to challenge: "If Your Highness can't manage it well, you can just say so. I don't mind continuing to help you manage Jingyang and ensure that the people will not suffer."
"If Your Majesty does less work, I can relax more."
"The prince is young, but he speaks so arrogantly."
"You're quite old, and you still don't take a bath."
“…”
“Puff…”
Some guests couldn't help laughing out loud.
After all, the King of Qi has never suffered any loss in his life.
But he was frustrated in front of the junior Ning Que.
The key point is that King Qi really overestimates his own abilities!
Ning Que is famous for his eloquence!
All the storytellers on Chang'an Street were his disciples.
Wouldn't it be humiliating to argue with him?
“You…you…you…”
"Your Highness, please don't be angry." Ning Que smiled faintly and said jokingly, "After all, you are so old, don't die without catching your breath, or you will blame me when the time comes."
“…”
Tian Zhongxun covered his chest.
His face was ashen and he was breathing heavily.
He pointed at Ning Que, but was speechless.
Is that not enough?
It's really boring.
He's here to cause trouble!
The Gu family chose to hold the banquet today just to make things difficult for him.
If you don't let him live a good life, then forget it!
"How could you be so rude?!" Lin Xianhong bit her lip lightly. "I know you've always been obsessed with me, even following me to the Gu family banquet. I'm really sorry about the child. But why are you so mad? Can't you think about me?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about you."
Ning Que looked at the other guests and said calmly, "I was blind to marry the second daughter of the Lin family. I always follow through on what I start. We engaged and married openly, so I can't hide my divorce."
"Divorce...divorce your wife?"
