"Your Majesty, I am returning to my seat!"

Liu Fu continued, sounding weak.

"Quick, help Prince Anping back!"

Liu Yan hurriedly asked Zhang Hong to help Prince Anping back to his seat.

I unconsciously feel a sense of desolation in my heart.

Prince Anping is so weak that he can probably only survive one day at a time!

Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction. At least on the surface, the overt struggle between the two had come to a temporary end.

When the ministers heard the conversation between Liu Fu and Liu Heng, they understood everything even more clearly!

Liu Yan was determined to let Liu Zhao succeed to the throne, otherwise he would not have brought him to the banquet so openly.

This was unimaginable before.

But in the capital, almost everyone knew that the prince would become smart in the future if he recited Buddhist scriptures.

What's more, there is a legend that the Buddha possessed the prince, etc.

But almost no one believed it!

Everyone is more inclined to believe that this was just a rumor spread by the emperor to ensure Liu Zhao's smooth succession to the throne.

"Prince, today is Tianzhong Festival. How about you offer your respects to all the nobles on behalf of your father?"

Liu Yan intended to push Liu Zhao to the forefront.

Liu Zhi's expression changed slightly, but in this situation, she would not say a word without Liu Yan's permission.

But Liu Zhao is not good at speaking, so what should he say?

Did he teach it?

"Yes, Father!"

After Liu Zhao finished speaking, he picked up the cup.

This cup is really too small, only about two cents.

And the alcohol content is not high. With Liu Zhao's alcohol tolerance, he could easily drink a pound of 53-proof Laobaigan when he was young.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhao’s current health doesn’t allow him to know how much he can drink.

But since he is so strong, one kilogram should be no problem!

Since Liu Yan wanted to behave normally in front of his ministers, he could say more.

It would not only give Liu Yanchang face, but also gradually change his image of being stupid and foolish in the eyes of his ministers.

Seeing Liu Zhao stand up, except for the old Liu Fu, all the ministers stood up for Liu Yan's sake.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the prince toast on TV!

Then use the popular rhetoric in modern society.

"I did it. I wish you good health and all the best!"

Liu Zhao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

I almost said that my work is going well and my family is happy!

"Your Highness, everything is fine!"

"Hello, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness Chitose!"

The ministers responded randomly and drank the wine in their cups.

"Mr. He, you taught me these words, didn't you?"

Situ Shizeng, who was sitting next to He Zhi, asked softly as he just sat down.

He Zhi just shook his head without saying a word.

He had the same suspicion in his heart, but he just didn't say it out loud.

Shi Zeng sighed softly and said, "It's really hard for the prince to say this complete sentence! It must be Sima Bei's doing! After all, he is his brother-in-law!"

"Have you forgotten what Prince Anping said to Prince Song just now?"

He Zhi didn't even look at Shi Zeng to remind him.

Be careful of being beheaded!

"Ugh!"

Shi Zeng didn't say anything else and looked at Sima Bei not far away.

Sima Bei sat in his seat like an old monk in meditation.

Liu Fu had previously warned himself, and then asked his two sons to warn the Prince of Zhenbei. Today, he came to warn his eldest brother-in-law, the Prince of Song, Liu Heng.

In addition, his daughter was sent to the cold palace, and an unprecedented fear filled his mind.

He was silent as a cicada at this moment, not even daring to breathe.

The other ministers were also whispering to each other, perhaps the emperor had already asked the prince to memorize this sentence.

I don’t know how long I took to memorize it.

Otherwise, how could the prince speak so fluently?

Liu Zhao watched everyone talking and guessed what they were thinking.

Indeed, it takes a certain amount of time and methods to make them accept that they have become normal.

There was a smile on Liu Yan's lips. What Liu Zhao said just now sounded like something a normal person would say.

I definitely haven't been taught this before, and I was just improvising.

Tang Dan probably never taught it either.

That was something he came up with on his own.

Liu Zhi smiled slightly and looked at her father.

Liu Jun sat next to Sima Bei, but the two did not have a good relationship, so they did not talk.

He happened to look at his daughter, and of course there was doubt in his eyes.

Maybe this was taught by my daughter!

Good thing!

He’s my grandson anyway!

If Sima Bei doesn't stand up, then Liu Jun will stand up and toast first!

He immediately picked up the wine glass, walked over, knelt on the ground and said:

"Your Majesty, I respect your Majesty and wish our emperor a long life!"

"Father-in-law, no need to be so polite!" Liu Yan raised his hand and drank half a cup.

Liu Jun finished his work, stood up and returned to his seat.

By the way, he also looked at Sima Bei with disdain.

"Your Majesty, this old minister salutes you!"

He Zhidi was very high, and when he attended court meetings, he would wear a sword and shoes.

But now that the father-in-law had knelt, he had to kneel too, otherwise he would be slapping Liu Jun in the face.

Upon seeing this, the ministers lined up to toast.

"Mr. He, how about you listen to me first?"

"I obey!"

Liu Yan raised his voice and said, "My lords, today is a good day. I will not leave until we are drunk with you all. However, the etiquette of toasting does not need to be complicated. You can just stand where you are!"

Liu Yan seemed to be in a good mood. It would be a bit of a letdown if every minister knelt down like Liu Jun when toasting.

So just set the rule and just stand in your original seat.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is against etiquette!"

He Zhi spoke hurriedly.

"Haha! It's okay, it's okay!"

Liu Yan smiled.

"The etiquette at court meetings can be flexible, so there's no need to be so rigid at banquets!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

He Zhi was just saying it casually to test the emperor's true intention. Since the emperor really doesn't care, then it doesn't matter!

"Then this old minister respectfully wishes the Great Jing Dynasty peace and prosperity, and long live His Majesty!"

Although He Zhi is old, he can drink quite well.

I drank from such a small cup in one gulp.

Liu Yan nodded and said, "I wish you good health and all the best!"

These two words were just said by Liu Zhao, and Liu Yan deliberately repeated them.

He Zhi certainly understood the meaning of this.

As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, Liu Heng stood up with a wine glass in his hand.

Liu Heng was Liu Yan's younger brother. Although he was adopted by Liu Shuo, he was a one-character king after all, the only one in this dynasty.

I have already sworn a solemn oath, so I cannot show any dissatisfaction at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I offer a toast. May Your Majesty be in good health and live long and long!"

Liu Yan simply raised his glass and said, "You and I are brothers. There's no need to be so reserved. Relax. Drink up and eat more!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Heng then respectfully raised the cup with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.

Next, the ministers took turns to toast Liu Yan, and for a while, the hall was very lively.

Liu Yan also ordered the palace maids to come and sing and dance to liven up the atmosphere, making it look like a modern disco!

Then they came up one by one to toast Liu Yan.

He paid his respects to Liu Zhao verbally, but in fact he was very disdainful of him.

Liu Zhao smiled in his heart, this attitude was quite normal.

Who would look down on a mentally retarded prince?
