Chapter 1663 The Old Fox Is Making a Show
When Song Yan heard that the emperor invited him to the banquet, he immediately guessed that the other party wanted to win over him further, so he asked, "Who are the people attending the banquet?"
Seeing that Song Yan was showing signs of agreeing, Xin Wang Lingxuan quickly explained: "Two days from now, it will be the birthday of Emperor Zu, our enemy of the Central Empire. Every year on this day, a banquet will be held in the palace to celebrate Emperor Zu. Of course, not everyone can participate in this banquet. Yes, only officials above fifth rank will be invited!"
"Since all the people invited are officials, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me, a white man, to go?" Song Yan said again.
King Xin Lingxuan said again: "In addition to officials, the empire will also invite some outstanding geniuses to the banquet. The top ten geniuses on the young dragon list have all been invited. This time, my father also invited geniuses from all races. For Yes, you will bring your family to this banquet. You can bring one of the other geniuses, no more than ten people, so you can bring whatever you want!"
"Okay, I agree!"
"In two days, I will pick you up and bring you into the palace together!"
"Okay!" Song Yan nodded.
After leaving a golden invitation, King Xin said goodbye and left. Not long after, Liu Long also received an invitation.
Two days flew by.
In the evening of that day, Xin Wang Lingxuan came to the mansion where Song Yan lived and took him into the palace with him.
Song Yan brought Chu Xue, Wei Le, Hua Nu, Wang Ying, Ning Qiangwei, Wei Suo, Gao Hongying, Shi Shi, Zhou Yan'er, and Xiao Bai into the palace. There were exactly ten people. As for Muse and Winnie, they were He is the genius of the Blood Demon Clan and has also received an invitation from the Emperor of the Empire.
But now they have become Song Yan's maids.
There was also Song Yan's follower Wu Yuntong, and Song Yan asked him to follow Liu Long. Anyway, he, the third prince of the Dragon Tribe, had three carrying quotas.
Xin Wang Lingxuan's carriage doesn't look too big, but the space inside is comparable to a small mansion.
Because he had given up his intention to recruit Song Yan, King Xin acted very casually, and Song Yan had no so-called respect for the imperial power, so the two of them were like a pair of old friends who talked about everything.
"King Xin, are you not afraid that the Ji family will be dissatisfied by your friendship with me?"
Song Yan suddenly changed the topic and asked with a smile.
Xin Wang Lingxuan smiled disapprovingly: "Brother Chu is a smart man. The power of the Ji family has reached its peak in the empire. As the saying goes, great achievements overshadow the master. My father is already on guard against them. Anyone who gets involved with the Ji family will be punished." He will be jealous of his father, and if he goes against the Ji family, he will be favored by his father."
King Xin spoke very frankly and did not hide anything at all.
"Haha, you are a sensible person!"
After being the emperor for so many years, Song Yan is also a person who is proficient in the imperial power. When he was in the Great Qin world, because his contribution and influence were so great, even the little emperor who didn't have much ability wanted to get rid of him, let alone The current emperor of the empire is countless times more powerful than that puppet-like little emperor. How could he not be wary of and taboo against the Ji family?
You know, when the previous dynasty was overthrown, the Ji family put in a lot of effort.
Who knows, they might do it again.
Therefore, every emperor was wary of the Ji family while reusing them.
But in this dynasty, the power of the Ji family reached its peak, and Ji Bo was in the high position of left prime minister and the head of all officials in the Central Region. If he had other ideas, even if he could not overthrow the Central Empire, it would still cause harm to the Empire. A lot of damage.
A few days ago, the Ji family sent soul guards to capture Song Yan. They caused such a big commotion and destroyed buildings within a hundred miles. Logically speaking, the empire should have responded.
But the empire has been pretending to be deaf and mute, as if nothing happened.
Are there no hands or feet of the emperor in this? I wouldn't believe it even if I beat Song Yan to death.
Moreover, the Ji family had not made any extra moves in the past few days, most likely because they were concerned about the emperor's opinion.
This is also the reason why Song Yan agreed to attend this banquet and brought everyone to the banquet. Since the emperor gave him face so much, he naturally had to give him face. Although it meant borrowing a knife to kill people, Song Yan did not intend to borrow the emperor's favor. Get rid of the Ji family with the knife.
Although Song Yan doesn't like to use tactics, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to do it. After all, using tactics to plot others is too tedious and not as satisfying as slapping the opponent to death with one palm.
Less than half an hour later.
King Xin's carriage has already passed the entrance of the palace.
The road in front of the palace was extremely wide, enough to accommodate dozens of carriages traveling in parallel. Even so, it seemed a bit crowded.
It is said that at least tens of thousands of people entered the palace for the dinner today.
The banquet was held in a small world inside the palace.
The signboard "King Youxin" was naturally unobstructed, and a quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived in front of a large hall.
This hall has a very awesome reputation - Putian Hall.
Taking the meaning of universal celebration, it will only be opened on the birthday of the emperor.
"Brother Chu, let's get off the car!" King Xin said.
The group got out of the car, and King Xin put the carriage into the storage ring.
at this time.
Song Yan felt an unkind gaze staring at him. He looked up and found a middle-aged man in official robes looking at him with unkind eyes.
"It's Zuo Xiangji Bo!"
King Xin sent a message to remind Song Yan, then he stepped forward with a smile and took the initiative to salute: "Xiao Wang has met the left prime minister."
"King Xin is so polite!"
Ji Bo responded lightly, and then walked up to Song Yan.
For a moment, the eyes of everyone in front of the hall fell on them.
"Are you Chu Fan?"
Uncle Ji stared at Song Yan and asked coldly.
"Yes, what does this uncle have to say?"
"Be impudent, this is the left prime minister of the dynasty, so you must not be rude!" An official following Ji Bo scolded Song Yan.
Hearing this, Song Yan narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "What a good dog leg. The owner didn't say anything, so you jumped out. It's a pity that there are no bones to feed you!"
"Bastard, who are you calling a bitch!" The official was furious and pointed at Song Yan, his whole body trembling.
"Young man, being too sharp is not necessarily a good thing. Haven't you heard that a tree that is as beautiful as the forest wind will destroy it!"
Ji Bo spoke, his tone was very meaningful.
"hehe!"
Song Yan smiled disapprovingly: "There is a saying that if you don't go crazy, you will get old. Young people naturally do a few crazy things to be considered young. Don't you think so, Mr. Zuo Xiang?"
"Okay, then the truth depends on how long you can still be arrogant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Bo threw up his sleeves and walked towards Putian Hall. The official glared at Song Yan fiercely and followed him quickly.
"Old fox!"
Looking at Uncle Ji's back, a playful smile appeared on Song Yan's lips. Uncle Ji threatened him in front of so many people. He was probably putting on a show. As for who he was showing off to?
Needless to say!
After all, if you can become the left prime minister, how can you have such little power?
However, whether he was just acting or a real threat, Song Yan would not coddle him. He would just fight back when it was time to fight, and maybe he could take the opportunity to stimulate Uncle Ji later.
