Chapter 197 What a skill to fool people!
After Qi Wushuang arrived, the banquet officially began.
With the first glass of wine, Qi Wushuang thanked all the ministers for their support, especially during the past few months when he personally led the army to the north.
For the second glass of wine, Qi Wushuang toasted Shui Changqing alone.
"Master Shui, welcome to the court."
Shui Changqing holds up his cup:
"I will live up to the trust placed in me by the court and Your Majesty, fulfill my duties within my position, shoulder my responsibilities, and do my best."
At this time, the officials noticed something:
It turns out that the Shui family has formed an alliance with Your Majesty!
After finishing two glasses of wine, Qi Wushuang was about to have a drink alone with Ye Wuwei when someone entered the Liangyi Hall with great fanfare.
The reason why it was so loud was because he used the sound of his footsteps, coughs and exaggerated movements to attract everyone's attention.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the newcomer, and Ye Wuwei was no exception.
The man who came was tall and fat, wearing a crown robe and a crown hat, and walked up to Qi Wushuang with a "dengdengdeng" sound.
Ye Wuwei whispered to Nie Youren: "Who is this person?"
Nie Youren also whispered to Ye Wuwei: "I don't know him."
At this time, Qi Yushen stood up and said, "Father, when did you come to Chamdo?"
Ye Wuwei suddenly realized: It turned out that this person was Qi Wushuang’s elder brother and Qi Yushen’s father, Prince Subei.
Prince Subei ignored Qi Yushen and said to Qi Wushuang:
"Qi Wushuang, your sister-in-law and nephew are still outside, why don't you quickly ask someone to invite them in."
Ye Wuwei thought:
Besides himself, there was another person who called Qi Wushuang by his name.
But he only called Qi Wushuang's name in private, and still called him Your Majesty in public.
Unlike the Prince of Subei, who called Qi Wushuang's name in front of so many officials, how confident is he?
Qi Yushen stepped forward and said to the Prince of Subei:
"Father, everyone present today is a court official. It is not appropriate for the Princess to participate."
Prince Subei glared at Qi Yushen angrily: "How can you interrupt me when I'm talking? Who do you think you are?"
Hearing this, Ye Wuwei felt sorry for Qi Yushen:
How could a father be so disregarding of his son's dignity in public?
Ye Wuwei looked at Qi Yushen, but saw that Qi Yushen remained calm and did not show any embarrassment at all.
It seems that this is not the first time that Prince Subei has humiliated Qi Yushen in front of everyone.
Qi Yushen continued to say to Prince Subei: "Father, I will go back with you now."
Prince Subei swung his wide sleeves vigorously and said, "Why, I don't even have the qualifications to enter Liangyi Palace?"
Seeing that Qi Yushen was unable to deal with the Prince of Subei, Qi Wushuang spoke up:
"Brother Wang, a vassal king cannot enter the capital without an imperial edict. Why did you come to Chamdo without permission?"
"I heard the Ati people were heading south, and I was worried they would take over Lindu and put my life in danger, so I came to Chamdo. Is that wrong?"
It was the first time Ye Wuwei heard someone speak so confidently.
Lindu is the fiefdom of Prince Subei. It is Prince Subei's duty to guard the safety of Lindu and its people. However, not only did he not have this awareness, he also said it openly.
No wonder the former emperor was too lazy to kill him, he was so stupid!
But the Prince of Subei didn't think he was stupid at all, and he continued to say to Qi Wushuang:
"You have risen from a prince to an emperor. I am your elder brother. If I don't ask you to give up the throne, at least your rank should be promoted, right?
I want to be granted the title of prince, and my fiefdom will be changed from Lindu to Lindu.
Furthermore, Lindu will be autonomous. Not only will I appoint Lindu officials myself, but all Lindu's taxes will also belong to me."
Lindu is adjacent to Chamdo and is located northeast of Chamdo.
Because it is close to Chamdo, although Lindu is not as prosperous as Andu, Ledu and Fengdu, its economy is still much better than Yingdu, Lindu and other places.
What Prince Subei said was really outrageous.
Many officials in the hall looked at Qi Wushuang at the same time, wanting to see if Qi Wushuang would get angry. Qi Yushen was no exception.
Ye Wuwei did not look at Qi Wushuang, because he knew that Qi Wushuang would not be angry about such a small matter.
He was observing the Prince of Subei.
Ye Wuwei wanted to see how stupid the Prince of Subei could be?
Qi Yushen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qi Wushuang was not unhappy: It seems that His Majesty is too lazy to bother with his father!
Seeing that Qi Wushuang did not respond to him, Prince Subei became unhappy.
"Qi Wushuang, are you deaf? Why didn't you answer my question?"
General Qi originally didn't want to provoke the fool Prince Subei, but after seeing this situation, he had no choice but to show up.
"Prince, you just arrived in Chamdo and you must have traveled a long way. Why don't you let the Crown Prince take you back to the Prince's Mansion to rest?
After you have rested, the royal family will host a welcoming banquet for you."
General Qi's words were extremely tactful, saving the face of several parties.
Unfortunately, Prince Subei didn't understand:
"Even if we are tired, we still have to eat. Let's go back after we finish eating.
Come, add a seat for me and the princess."
General Qi looked at Qi Wushuang:
Your Majesty, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I’m simply powerless in the face of Prince Subei!
Ye Wuwei originally had no intention of speaking, but seeing that no one in the palace could deal with the Prince of Subei, he had no choice but to take action.
"Prince, what you are doing is bad for the reputation of the Princess.
Look at this hall, there is not even a female mosquito. If the princess sits among a group of men, what will people say?
Imagine the situation of the girls in the brothel."
The officials all looked at Ye Wuwei: Are you sure saying this won’t anger the Prince of Subei?
I didn't expect that Prince Subei would actually think about it.
Ye Wuwei strikes while the iron is hot:
“Why not have someone pack some food and drinks for you and the princess and personally deliver them to the Subei County Prince’s Mansion.
This way, you can show His Majesty's respect for you and also preserve the reputation of the Princess."
Everyone thought that Prince Subei would not agree, but unexpectedly Prince Subei said:
"What you said makes sense. Come, send some food to the Prince of Subei's mansion."
Ye Wuwei also took the opportunity to instruct Xiao Dengzi:
"It's a rare opportunity for the Prince of Subei to come to Chamdo. I'm sending the best wine and food in the palace to the Prince of Subei's mansion."
It's so easy to get rid of the Prince of Subei, so why wouldn't little Dengzi agree?
Qi Yu looked at Ye Wuwei with deep gratitude.
Ye Wuwei smiled at Qi Yushen and shook his head.
Prince Subei looked at Ye Wuwei:
"What's your name? I think you speak very much to my taste."
“My name is Ye Wuwei, and I’m Yu Shen’s friend.
If the prince doesn't mind, I will invite you to have a drink at Yanyuntai some other day.
If drinking isn't enough for you, I can gamble with you."
"I didn't expect Yu Shen to have such a good friend like you. Let's go to Yanyuntai together some other day."
While the two were talking, Xiao Dengzi had already asked someone to pack up the food.
Ye Wuwei personally brought a lunch box: "Prince, I'll see you off."
The Prince of Subei and Ye Wuwei walked out of the Liangyi Hall in a friendly manner, and Qi Yushen followed behind them.
Shui Changqing smiled silently: This brat, his ability to deceive people has improved again!
The officials were stunned: Prince Subei left just like that?
What about conferring the title of prince?
What about changing the fiefdom?
Isn't it better than a meal at Yanyuntai?
