Chapter 53: Plain Mansion Banquet

After refusing King Zhao's retention, Li Yu went to the military camp for inspection, had lunch in the guard camp, and it was already in the morning when he returned to the mansion.

"General, Pingyuan Jun's mansion sent an invitation." The doorman Chunyuli sent a gold invitation and respectfully returned to his post.

Looking at the invitation made entirely of gold in his hand, Li Yu once again sighed at Pingyuan Jun's wealth. He gave him a casual invitation with dozens of stones of corn, which made Li Yu so envious.

When I opened the invitation, there were only a few numbers, which were nothing more than asking Li Yu to attend the dinner at the mansion. Li Yu looked at it and handed the invitation to Huan'er: "Huan'er, use this thing to exchange for golden cakes."

"General, but this is the invitation from the Lord."

"It's okay, I think Pingyuan Jun wouldn't mind this." Li Yu wouldn't miss any opportunity if he could make a little money. If he sent more than a hundred such invitations every day, he wouldn't have to worry about money.

"No." A little speechless by the actions of his own general, Huan'er slowly retreated, thinking to put the invitation quietly, and at worst, she could replace it with her own month.

After enjoying the massage from Huan'er and Lan'er, Li Yu went out and went to the banquet as early as possible, let alone going to the powerful Pingyuan Jun Mansion in Zhao State.

For this reason, Li Yu brought two hundred personal guards, and their dinner was naturally also served at Pingyuan Jun Mansion. Now there were a few hundred dollars left, money, money.

Li Yu's general's mansion is on the west side of the Zhao Palace, and Pingyuanjun's mansion is on the east side of the Zhao Palace. Although there are no distinction between civil and military officials and generals in this era, there are still boundaries between civil and military officials. Just like in the Zhao State, the three radius around the Zhao Palace are the mansions of nobles and ministers. Most of the mansions of military officials are on the west side of the Zhao Palace, the mansions of civil and ministers are on the east side of the Zhao Palace, the south side of the Zhao Palace are on the residences of Zhao Royal nobles, and the north side of the Zhao Palace are on the residences of big merchants and small nobles. Although these areas are not really clearly marked, the upper class of Zhao State has agreed to this plan.

He took two hundred personal guards to show off the market, and passed by the nobles' mansions. The horse's hooves were loud but they did not affect ordinary people.

The quiet Pingyuanjun Mansion was restored to the fun after the war. A few dozen meters away from Pingyuanjun Mansion, Li Yu heard the sound of drinking and music coming from the mansion. It was thought that Pingyuanjun's disciples were drinking and having fun.

To be honest, the disciples of this era were quite useful. The nobles spent money to support them. They gave advice to the nobles, and even went to difficulties with their own needs. When Qin surrounded Handan, the disciples of Pingyuan Jun’s mansion contributed a lot, the most famous of which was Mao Sui, who was now appointed as the Supreme Court by King Zhao.

"Please report to the Lord, Li Yu comes to the banquet." After dismounting, Li Yu personally went to the guard to speak.

"The emperor has given an order, General, please follow the people."

I had known Li Yu for a long time, but the guard didn't look for an invitation at all, so he took Li Yu straight to the inner mansion.

After passing through the rockery, the pavilions and towers, the sound of drinking became smaller and smaller, until it was inaudible, which made Li Yu sigh at the vastness of Pingyuan Jun Mansion, and the rich people were different.

"Yu has met my uncle." When he arrived outside the inner hall, the guard stepped back. Li Yu walked in alone and saw Pingyuan Jun with a thin face on the main seat, and two middle-aged men in gorgeous clothes.

"Yu'er, you're here. Come quickly, I'll introduce it to you."

He went up to him and took Li Yu's hand intimately. Ping Yuanjun took him to the other two and introduced: "Yu'er, this is my brother-in-law Zhao Yu, and this is the inner rank Gongsun Jiao."

"I have met Doctor Zhao and Neiguan Gongsun."

Li Yu is familiar with these two people. Although Zhao Yu's title was only a doctor, as a close subordinate of the royal family, he directly controlled the land tax and palace finance of Zhao State, and was also a former palace magistrate. The current position of censor also has the right to manage the royal nobles of Zhao State and has a considerable influence in the court. Gongsun Cai was even more famous. As an internal official, he took charge of the finances of Zhao State, and his position among civil officials was second only to the prime minister Pingyuanjun. Even Li Yu's monthly salary was paid by him.

"General Li is so young, it is really my blessing for Zhao." Faced with such a young general, Zhao Yu and Gongsun Cai treated him with courtesy. With the support of Pingyuan Jun, the general's future can be imagined.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Hahaha, you are not outsiders, just be more casual. Come on, let's go to the table together." Pingyuan Jun laughed and pulled everyone into the table.

While sitting down, Li Yu paid attention to Zhao Yu's expression opposite and found that the smile on his face was quite sincere, which made him a little confused. It seemed that he had knocked out Dr. Zhao's precious son a few days ago.

"General Li, I apologize for my child's offense to the general the day before yesterday. I hope the general will not worry about it." After three rounds of wine, Zhao Yu picked up the wine bottle and said to Li Yu.

"The doctor's words are serious, and the last general knows that something was wrong last time, and he is about to go to the mansion to apologize. Taking this opportunity, I will punish myself three cups. I hope the doctor will forgive me." People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. Li Yu is still very kind, and he will not lose anything if he is not encountered by him and has the authority of the city guards, Li Yu would not have been in charge of this matter.

"This is a child's fault. What is the general's fault? I'll drink it first." After saying that, Zhao Yu continued to dry out.

Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, Li Yu also dried the wine in the bottle and drank three more glasses in a row. Then he looked at Zhao Yu on the opposite side and smiled.

"Yu'er and Brother Yu are both victorious relatives, so don't be polite. If you do this, you will be fine without any fault in the past." Seeing the two close people who valued to eliminate their grudges, Zhao Sheng laughed happily. With the help of the two, he believed that his power would be consolidated more and more.

After dispelling the concerns that had been around for several days, Li Yu was relieved. If it was not necessary, he would not offend the royal family of Zhao. He was one of the top people in Zhao.

Since the beginning of Zhao Wangdan's ascension, the Zhao noble group had mastered the Zhao government. When making major decisions, officials in the Zhao court were often excluded. Even if they participated in the decisions, their opinions were no longer taken seriously, and they were no longer trusted by the supreme rulers of Zhao. In the fourth year of Zhao Wangdan, whether he accepted the party land donated by South Korea, Zhao Wangdan only solicited the opinions of Pingyuanjun and Pingyangjun, ignored Lin Xiangru, Lian Po and others, and directly adopted Pingyuanjun's opinions, resulting in the early outbreak of the Qin-Zhao war.

Although Li Yu, who has such an influence, is not afraid of the Zhao royal family, who is deeply favored by the King of Zhao, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be taken advantage of the situation in the future. This result is the best. However, he did not see another suffering master, Pingyang. It seems that the two kings are not incompatible, and they have already had different opinions on whether they accept the opinions of Shangdang.
