Chapter 325 Li Dan gladly accepted the invitation of the coalition forces and officially stayed in the palace of King Zhen.
Although King Zhen's palace has been sacked by the wind army, the wind army is quite polite and has not carried out large-scale destruction, and the inside and outside of King Zhen's palace are basically the same, but the ornaments are lost a lot.
For the large loss of gold, silver and jewelry in the palace, Li Dan is acceptable, in his opinion, this is also one of the punishments for the loser, now he does not have too many requirements, only hopes that the coalition army can retain Zhenguo, and withdraw from Zhenguo as soon as possible.
On the second day after Li Dan stayed in the palace, the monarchs of the four kingdoms of Feng, Yu, An, and Huan sent envoys to let Li Dan hold a banquet in the palace, invite the kings to gather together, and discuss Li Dan's inheritance of the throne of King Zhen by the way.
Of course Li Dan will not refuse, and he does not have the qualifications and ability to refuse, now he is like a fish and meat, how the kings of Tang Yin arrange, how he has to accept it.
There was nothing to say during the day, and that night, a large feast was held in the main hall of King Zhen's palace and a sumptuous banquet was arranged.
This is King Zhen's Palace, but most of the guards from the inside to the outside are soldiers of the coalition army, so it can be said that the control of the palace is still in the hands of the coalition army.
At the appointed time, the four kings of Tang Yin, Lingshuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin arrived one after another.
Outside the gate of the palace, the four kings met, Li Xin looked around, and said in a low voice: "The palace is inside and out, it is all our people, even if Li Dan has great ability, it is difficult to fly this time." ” Tang Yin did not participate in the specific details of the eradication of Li Dan, he asked casually: "Where are the soldiers under Li Dan now?"
"It's all in the barracks east of the city."
Li Xin replied.
"Will you send our men to the east of the city?"
Yue Ze smiled and said confidently: "Wang Mei and I have each sent five corps to ambush near the barracks in the east of the city, as long as the action in the palace begins, my Anyu and the two armies will surround the barracks and wipe out all the Zhen troops inside."
Tang Yin nodded, feeling that they had arranged it quite safely, so he didn't continue to ask, and walked into the palace side by side with Lingshuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin.
The palace was heavily guarded, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and groups of patrol soldiers could be seen everywhere.
The only thing that makes people feel awkward is that there are so many guards, but the military uniforms are very messy, that is, there are An troops with exquisite armor and well-armed weapons, and there are also Huan troops with relatively rough equipment, that is, there are decent jade troops, and there are also brave and good fighting wind troops, among the guards, you can still see one or two Zhen soldiers from time to time.
Now the guards of King Zhen's palace are a hodgepodge, Zhenren, Fengren, Yuren, Anren, Huanren, all of them are not lacking.
When the four kings walked outside the main hall of the palace, before they went up the steps, Li Dan had already taken a group of Zhenguo ministers and military generals to meet them quickly, and everyone bowed to the four of them and said: "The ministers have seen the four highnesses of King Feng, King An, King Huan, and King Jade."
Among the four kings, Yue Ze was the oldest, he was the first to speak, and said: "You don't have to be polite in the ranks, let's be flat" As he spoke, he took two steps forward and came to Li Dan, pretending to be close to him and asked with a smile: "Is the prince still used to living in the palace?"
Li Dan hurriedly replied: "Since I was named the crown prince, I moved out of the palace, and I have not lived in the palace for more than ten years, and I have just moved in, so there are still many places that I am not suitable for." ” "Haha" Yue Ze looked up and smiled, patted Li Dan's shoulder, and said: "The virtuous nephew will be King Zhen in the future, and the palace will be his home, so it's better to get used to it as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, that's what His Royal Highness King An said."
Li Dan nodded again and again flattered, looking very teachable.
The ministers of Zhenguo looked at each other, and their faces all showed joy, this is the king of Anwang Yueze personally said that he wanted the prince to ascend the throne, and it seems that the many disasters and hardships of Zhenguo are finally over.
"This is not a place to speak, and the four highnesses invite the palace to sit down" Li Dan turned sideways and led the way in front, Tang Yin, Lingshuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin slowly walked up the steps, and behind them, there were the ministers and generals of the five kingdoms of Feng, Yu, An, Huan, and Zhen who were on the black side.
Entering the main hall, everyone sat down, because there is no monarch in Zhenguo for the time being, the main seat in the center of the hall is empty, Tang Yin and other four kings sit on both sides, and then Li Dan and the ministers and generals of the countries.
The area of the main hall of the palace is not small, but there are too many people to participate in the banquet, there are no less than 100 generals of the four countries of wind, jade, An, and Huan alone, for a time, the hall is crowded, lively and extraordinary, laughter and laughter continue, the atmosphere is harmonious, as if a celebration.
Not for a long time, a large number of palace maids entered the hall, and sent the wine and food one by one, at this time, the atmosphere in the hall was more enthusiastic, on the side of the coalition army, some of the generals of their own countries toasted each other, and some were toasting to the generals of other countries, and the deafening laughter was wave after wave.
On the contrary, the ministers and generals of Zhenguo are unusually quiet, and the coalition forces can take this banquet as their celebration banquet, but Zhenguo cannot, and the dignified palace of the king of a country, the highest palace of the country, actually makes the generals of other countries talk and laugh unscrupulously, and all Zhenren, how can they not feel blush in the face of this situation Seeing that the forgetful coalition generals regarded the main hall of the palace as a tavern, Li Dan's face was also extremely ugly without any rules.
In the end, he finally couldn't hold his breath, coughed in a deep voice, and then picked up the wine glass and said to Tang Yin and the other four kings: "The four highnesses are kind-hearted, although they led the army to invade my Zhenguo, but they did not hurt the innocent people, Zhenren is grateful, I give a glass to the four highnesses for all Zhenren."
He toasted Tang Yin, Lingshuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin, and if the soldiers of the coalition army talked and laughed on the sidelines, it would be disrespectful to the monarch of their own country.
Li Dan's trick really worked, and for a while, the generals of the coalition army stopped talking one after another, returned to their respective foreshadows, and sat upright, not daring to show the slightest casualness and neglect.
Seeing this, Tang Yin nodded secretly, Li Dan is still a little clever, but that's all, it can't be atmospheric.
The four kings picked up the cups one after another, and Yue Ze smiled and said: "The virtuous nephew is polite, the reason why this battle can end so quickly is that the virtuous nephew is also indispensable, so I waited for the prince to decide to help you ascend to the throne of the Zhen king."
Li Dan's body was shocked, he hurriedly put down his wine glass, stood up, bowed respectfully to the four kings, and said, "Li Dan, thank you for your kindness. ” Yue Ze waved his hand and said with a smile: "I hope that in the future, the virtuous nephew can lead Zhenguo on the right path, and he will not follow in the footsteps of his father."
"It's Li Dan who will definitely take this as a warning," he said, he sat back on the mat and had a toast with each of the four kings.
Li Dan seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "There is one more thing, I hope that the four highnesses can agree." ” "If you have something to say, please speak" "Now, the garrisons of the four armies of Feng, An, Huan, and Yu are no less than 20,000 in the palace, and there are many female dependents in the palace, and there are many concubines, and there are troops from other countries stationed, which is really inconvenient."
Li Dan now hopes that the coalition forces can evacuate the palace immediately, otherwise, he will not have the slightest sense of security even if he lives in the palace, not to mention, his own palace is stationed in the army of other countries, which is a great shame in itself.
Hey, this Li Dan, there are quite a lot of requests, doesn't he know who is the master of Zhenguo Yue Ze didn't answer immediately, and turned his head to look at Tang Yin and the others.
Li Xin pursed his lips, his face full of disapproval, Tang Yin nodded slightly, hinting that Yue Ze could agree to Li Dan's request, anyway, tonight will kill Li Dan and his party, no matter what he promises, it doesn't matter.
Yue Ze is also a cunning old fox, how could he not understand what Tang Yin meant.
He smiled at Li Dan and said, "If the virtuous nephew doesn't mention it, this king will soon forget about it."
The virtuous nephew is right, the coalition army is stationed in the palace, it is indeed very inconvenient, and it is easy to cause trouble, so let's tell the truth, so tomorrow, all the coalition soldiers stationed in the palace will be evacuated, what does the virtuous nephew think" Li Dan thought that he was going to have to talk a lot about this matter, but he didn't expect Yue Ze to agree so happily, which made him feel very surprised.
After being stunned for a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King An" After a pause, he immediately added: "Thank you, His Royal Highness King Feng, His Royal Highness King Huan, and His Royal Highness King Jade."
After talking about the garrison of the palace, Li Dan took the initiative to lead the topic to Li Hong, he toasted to the four kings again, and after a drink, he asked: "I don't know what the situation of my father is in the coalition camp now, my father is very old, and his health has been poor recently, can I put my father under house arrest in the palace, and I can take care of it nearby." ” "No" Without waiting for Yue Ze to speak, Li Xin preemptively said: "In a few days, our army will escort Li Hong to Yancheng and meet the Son of Heaven." ” Li Dan gasped, frowned and said: "Now that my father is no longer King Zhen, and I will inherit the throne, I am willing to go to the Son of Heaven to ask for guilt on behalf of my father." ” Li Xin sneered and said coldly: "Supporting the army and respecting yourself, openly rebelling, and establishing yourself as the emperor, such a great crime of rebellion, which one you want to replace can be replaced, there is no need to say more, and the matter of escorting Li Hong to meet the Son of Heaven will never be changed." ” Hearing his tough tone, Li Dan subconsciously looked at Tang Yin, hoping that he could help him speak, but the latter was bowing his head and chewing slowly, and he didn't look at him at all.
Li Dan was helpless, and wanted to speak, at this time, Yue Ze opened his mouth and smiled: "Today's banquet, just to be happy, not to talk about government affairs and nephews, I heard that General Lin Ning of Zhenguo has outstanding archery skills, known as the reputation of chasing the wind and setting sun, and General Jiang Fan of Fengguo is also good at archery, it is rare for everyone to gather together today, it is better to let the two of them try it to see whose archery skills are more exquisite, how" Li Dan was stunned for a moment, and did not answer immediately, Tang Yin, who had been eating, raised his head rarely, wiped the corners of his mouth slowly, and said with a smile: "It's just archery, and it's not hard, why not" As he spoke, he raised his head to look down at Jiang Fan at hand, and asked, "Jiang Fan, are you willing":
