Di Yan and Huo Ji left the Liyuan Hall with their front feet, and Huo Ji asked Di Yan with their back feet.

"Your Majesty feels that he is somewhat sure of persuading Concubine Li."

Di Yan laughed lightly after hearing his words.

"Ten percent."

"So sure?" Hearing Di Yan's words with such confidence, Huo Ji was a little surprised.

"Concubine Li is not stupid, she is not only not stupid but also very smart, he knows that what the lonely king just said is the truth."

"Then who does His Majesty plan to teach the Ninth Prince to learn writing?"

Di Yan thought about it.

"What do you think of Pei Qingyang?"

"Lord Pei? Sir Pei is indeed knowledgeable and talented, and he is a good candidate for the emperor's teacher, but isn't the king worried that he is Li Yi's man? You must know that ninety-nine out of ten civil servants in the government and the opposition are closely related to Li Yi." You let him teach the Ninth Prince, don't you put a nail in your side?" Huo Ji was a little worried.

"The Pei family has been an official in the three dynasties of the Di Kingdom, and they are considered veterans. Even if Li Yi intends to win him over, but the Pei family's character, I'm afraid they won't go along with him."

"That's right, all civil and military officials don't know that Mr. Pei is famous for being noble. He usually uses the corners of his eyes to see people. For a person like Li Yi, even using the corners of his eyes may feel dirty." Huo Ji said.

"Besides, Pei Qingyang has been in charge of Shangshuyuan. Shangshuyuan has nothing to gain. Li Yi will not make the Pei family an enemy for such a useless place. The most important point is that the Pei family has had a good personal relationship with the Sima family for generations. If it is said that among the ministers of the Di Kingdom, the one who deserves the word loyalty, it must be the Sima family."

Huo Qi nodded when he heard Di Yan's words, expressing his agreement.He suddenly remembered something, stopped and said to Di Yan.

"After being reminded by the king, I suddenly remembered that it will be the 60th birthday of General Sima in three days."

Di Yan frowned upon hearing his words.

"Oh? This is a good opportunity to ask for directions. Now Sima Zhuo is also in Wangcheng. I think he must celebrate for General Sima. Pei Qingyang will also be there. You go to prepare the gift. On the day of the birthday banquet, the lonely king will go to pay his respects in person. .”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

General Sima's Mansion in Wuyang City is full of people today.On the vermilion and gold plaque hanging high, the three black lacquered characters of Dingguofu dance in dragons and phoenixes, majestic and majestic.The butler in a blue shirt was instructing the servants in the mansion to bring the gifts from the guests into the mansion, and personally lead the guests to the mansion.

Today is Sima Heng's 60th birthday. Although Sima Heng had resigned from office five years ago, Di Zheng named him Ding Guogong because of his contributions to Di Guoli.In addition, Sima Heng's eldest son, Sima Zhuo, now holds an important position in the Yasukuni General, so Sima Heng held a birthday banquet, and almost all civil and military officials came to congratulate him.Everyone in the country of Di knew that Sima Heng and the former king Di Zheng were brothers and sisters. When Di Kai came to power, what he was most worried about was that he would be opposed by Sima Heng.Unexpectedly, the throne suddenly changed, and a will from the former king made the throne change without any suspense.At the beginning of Di Yan's accession to the throne, he and Sima Zhuo worked together to attack He Guobo, who took advantage of the fire and invaded the border of Di Kingdom, to win the favor of the Sima family, so the current Sima family's attitude towards the reigning Di Yan is mostly supportive.

Although Sima Heng held a birthday banquet today to entertain guests and friends from all over the world, most of the civil officials who came to congratulate him just said congratulations, put down their gifts and left.Those who stayed for the birthday banquet were mostly military officers who had good contacts with the Sima family.It has long been no secret that civil and military officials in Di's country are clearly opposed.The civil servants don't make fun of themselves, and if they save enough face, they don't stay to be an eyesore.So when the banquet started, only military officers were left on the banquet seats in Dingguo Mansion.

Among the all military officers, there was a handsome man in a white shirt with a face as white as jade, which was particularly eye-catching.

"I said, Mr. Pei, it's really hard for you to eat at the same table with us rough people. Hahaha..." Liu Shuo's heroic laughter made Pei Qingyang's ears hurt, but he still showed a slight smile.

"General Liu, Mr. Pei is not afraid of rough people, he just hates people's hearts."

As soon as Pei Qingyang finished speaking, everyone at the table heard that he was secretly saying that those civil servants who were in collusion with Li Yi were too dirty.They all smiled at the same time.

"Haha! Although I, Liu Shuo, don't usually like those literary scholars, but I, Liu Shuo, are very willing to make friends with literati like Mr. Pei."

"That's Pei's honor." Pei Qingyang smiled lightly.

While several people were talking, Sima Zhuo walked towards them.

"Qingyang, father asked you to have dinner at the same table." Sima Zhuo said to Pei Qingyang.

"Dingguo's table is full of elders, how can I have the place of a junior like me." Pei Qingyang was unmoved.

"If you don't go, I'll sit at this table too." After Sima Zhuo finished speaking, he picked up the warlord who was sitting on Pei Qingyang's left like a chick, and sat down swaggeringly.

"I told you two children, today is Dingguogong's birthday, if you want to make a fuss, don't choose today." Liu Shuo said how old Sima Zhuo was, and they had similar official positions, so he said in the tone of a senior.

Pei Qingyang cast a sidelong glance at Sima Zhuo, stood up with a cold snort, and walked towards Sima Heng's table.The two sat down at Sima Heng's table when there was a loud noise at the door.Pei Qingyang looked at the door, only to see many people rushing towards the door.He heard the person at the same table whispering.

"It's the king who came, and the king personally came to celebrate the birthday of Duke Ding."

After hearing this, Pei Qingyang glanced at Sima Zhuo, who shook his head at him, expressing that he didn't know either.

After that, everyone rushed to the door to welcome Di Yan who came to celebrate his birthday.Di Yan was only wearing a white uniform today, and Huo Qi and Tong De were with her, who were very low-key, presumably because she didn't want to disturb anyone, so she deliberately waited until the banquet started to come.Sima Heng was very happy to see Di Yan, and warmly greeted him.

"The old minister's mere birthday, why bother the king's relatives to congratulate him, it is really frustrating for the old minister."

"Don't be modest, Duke Ding. Today, the lonely king is not here as a king, but just a junior to congratulate the elder's birthday." Although Di Yan's words were very courteous, it gave Sima Heng great face.Sima Heng knew that this was Di Yan showing his prestige in front of the officials, so he smiled humbly but did not dare to really accept it.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Sima Heng invited Di Yan to the mansion. Di Yan paused, and the voice of the steward of Dingguo Mansion came from outside the door.

"General Xuanhua is here to celebrate his birthday." As soon as the words fell, Xuanhua's figure appeared in front of everyone.

When Xuanhua saw Di Yan, she bowed first, and then congratulated Ding Guogong.Duke Dingguo was born as a general, so he naturally admired people like Xuanhua who became famous through military exploits, and was very kind, so he hurriedly let him into the mansion together.

The author has something to say: welcome to the new world~~

In fact, Gongdou is really not good at it, nor is it particularly cute. The role of Xuanhua is also a general, so the scene will gradually change to the battlefield afterward, making our No.1 in the world a real one.There is some foreshadowing before this, and some people are going to die, so don't worry.
