Chapter 409 [After tonight's family dinner, I will be called the emperor soon]

Gu Tianya rarely drinks, but tonight he was a bit greedy!

This is another family dinner for the whole family, and it has become an annual tradition. Originally it was just a family gathering, but for some reason it gradually became more formal.

Youzhou has been developing for three years, and there have been exactly three family banquets, and each family banquet seems to be accompanied by something.

For example, the first time the whole family ate hot pot together, it was because Gu Tianya wanted to let the children of each family gather with the adults on a whim, but he inadvertently changed some of the rules. From then on, Li

Girls from the royal family can also sit at the main table.

Since ancient times, princesses have not been happy. Most of them were used by the royal family for marriage, but they were worried that their marriage would give rise to ambitions.

Therefore, when the royal family educates the princess, they always subconsciously want to impose various rules.

At that family dinner, Gu Tianya talked a lot with Li Shimin, and he deliberately made a gesture to let a little princess ride on his neck. Amidst the laughter and laughter of the little princesses, the Li family learned another lesson.

a way of education.

Another example is the second family dinner, when Youzhou began to build a new city. In order to auction the land that night, Gu Tianya and Li Shimin worked together to entertain guests from all over the world, while Li Jiancheng stayed at home and organized the whole family to have Jiao Er wrapped.

At that time, the city was full of lights, and the night darkness that humans had experienced for thousands of years was driven away by something called electric light. From that day on, Youzhou was called the city that never sleeps.

After almost all foreign merchants arrive in Youzhou, the first thing they do is to run to the street.

They squatted on the roadside stupidly, looking stupidly at the tall lampposts.

They squatted until nightfall, until their backs ached and their legs were numb and cramped...

When the lanterns bloomed at night, the screams of the merchants rang through the night sky.

As a result, the name of Youzhou was spread far and wide by them.

"In the ancient East, there was an ancient nation, and there was a city there that shone light at night..."

This is a bard, and it is said that it has spread to the west of the Western Regions. Whenever the bard plays the harp, there is always a dense crowd around it.

Those people kept marveling, looking forward to the city in the ancient east.

So the second family dinner was accompanied by the spread of Youzhou City’s reputation...



And tonight is the third time.

Under the witness of the whole family, Gu Tianya accepted another disciple.

He rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, but he was a bit greedy tonight.

Mainly because there were too many people toasting, and every glass of wine seemed impossible to refuse.

For example, the first glass of wine was from Li Jiancheng. The eldest brother of the royal family is already a bit old and he always happily likes to be with the juniors every day. So when he learned that Gu Tianya was accepting a disciple again, he immediately

Organized this family dinner for the whole family.

He personally picked up the wine glass and brought it to Gu Tianya, with a smile on his face and a sense of satisfaction.

He said cheerfully: "Brother-in-law Gu, let's have a drink. Since ancient times, recruiting true disciples has been like adding more seeds... Brother, I'm really happy. Congratulations on your Gu family's success."

Naturally, Gu Tianya couldn't refuse such rhetoric.

So I drank my first glass of wine.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin came over with a wine glass.

In terms of seniority, he is Gu Tianya's uncle.

In terms of status, he was the emperor of the entire Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Shimin neither showed his seniority nor his identity. Instead, he touched Gu Tianya's wine glass directly and said with deep meaning: "You, the new disciple, should belong to me."

Gu Tianya smiled, raised his glass and drank it down his neck, and said with the same profound meaning: "We are a family, we don't speak two different languages, no matter you are in the remote cloud states, or the white mountains and black waters, Liaodong, or the grassland, as long as we are two

Brother, if you ask me, I can give it to you..."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, pointed at him and scolded him with a smile, and said: "You should keep it for yourself. Only with you guarding these places can I feel at ease. Not only do I feel at ease, but the people of the entire Central Plains can also feel at ease. Just as you just said

Yes, our family does not speak the same language. Even if it is thousands of years later, I hope this will still be the case."

Gu Tianya nodded heavily and said, "It must be so."

Li Shimin reached out and patted his shoulder, then walked back to his seat holding the empty wine glass.



The Li brothers all toasted, but Li Jiancheng seemed a little dissatisfied.

The eldest brother of the royal family really had an old mentality. He suddenly looked at the west and sighed, saying: "It's a pity that Yuanji is not here, otherwise he should have a drink."

Li Shimin was startled for a moment, then whispered: "Brother, we have an impromptu family dinner tonight. It is impossible to cover everything, there are always some people who have no time to notify..."

The emperor paused as he spoke, and then said: "Even if we can notify him, he won't be able to come back in time. Yunzhou is a full eight hundred miles away from here, and there is no mount in the world that can run eight hundred miles in two hours."

Li Jiancheng nodded, but still sighed, as if mumbling to himself: "Yes, we made it last minute. I only started preparing for the family dinner two hours ago, and I really can't let the fourth child come back at this time."

Gu Tianya suddenly took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, pointed it far to the northwest, and said solemnly: "Brother Yuanji is guarding Yunzhou for my Gu family. I have to drink this glass of wine no matter what."

Li Jiancheng was then satisfied and nodded happily.

However, he saw that Gu Tianya did not drink the glass of wine immediately. Instead, he turned his eyes to the little guy at the table. He waved to the little guy and said warmly: "Li Chengdu, come here and drink this glass of wine with your uncle."

The little guy whose name was called by him was stunned for a moment, and then said dullly: "Aunt...Uncle, I am a child and cannot drink. If I drink, I will be punished by my mother..."

Before the little guy could finish speaking, someone had already pulled him up with his hands. Concubine Qi Wang Yang had a look of surprise on her face. She dragged the little guy directly to Gu Tianya and said, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, thank you, thank you."

Gu Tianya smiled warmly and said, "You're welcome. That's right. Li Chengdu is Yuanji's eldest son. He is qualified to drink with me."

"Yes, yes!" Concubine Yang nodded repeatedly and pushed the little guy forward.

So, Gu Tianya drank his third glass of wine.



Zhao Ning suddenly stood up, holding a glass in his hand.

She looked at Gu Tianya with a faint look, her brows and eyes were full of warmth, and she asked softly: "Husband, congratulations on the addition of a new family to our family. As the head wife of the Gu family, shouldn't I also have a drink with you?"

Gu Tianya didn't hesitate, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhao Ning.

He, who doesn't usually drink much, had already drank four glasses of wine.



Li Shimin seemed to be causing trouble and began to encourage the juniors to toast.

So Cheng Chumo was the first to stand up and said with an honest face: "Master, my disciples respect you!"

Gu Tianya burped, smiled, shook his head and said, "Master is almost drunk."

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin suddenly spoke, sitting on the table and said leisurely: "He is the first disciple of the Gu family, so he cannot help but drink a toast. Since ancient times, a teacher is like a father, and a disciple is like a parent and son. Brother-in-law Gu, this is the wine that the child proposes to you."

The emperor's words seemed casual, but they seemed to be full of profound meaning.

Gu Tianya was startled for a moment, then his face became thoughtful. Suddenly he laughed, nodded heavily and said, "Forget it, I'll get very drunk tonight..."

He picked up the wine that had been offered to him silently at the beginning, and drank it all with one tilt of his neck.

This is the fifth cup,



The second disciple, Li Chongyi, stood up and obviously wanted to offer him a glass of wine.

At this time, little Wang Bo was unhappy. The little guy suddenly stood up from the table and said crisply: "There are so many of us, we can't engage in wheel fighting."

After saying that, he hurried to Gu Tianya, looked at the brothers with a stern face, and said crisply: "Elder brother can pay tribute alone because he is the true disciple, but we can't be ridiculous. Let's toast a glass of wine together.

That’s it.”

I have to say, this little guy is really cute.

Li Chongyi nodded quickly and said humbly: "Wang Bo is right, let's respect him together."

Gu Tianya drank the sixth cup.



The seventh glass of wine was also served by the disciples.

This is the Mohe girl's apprenticeship ceremony. Logically speaking, she cannot come together with her disciples to worship her. After all, it is her first day of entry and she needs to be given special treatment.



After seven glasses of wine in a row, Gu Tianya was already drunk.

Suddenly, like a madman from the Jin Dynasty, he took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and chant loudly, saying: "Peach plums, spring breeze, a glass of wine, clouds and night rain, ten years of light. I started in the mud village, and I hope to stay in China for the rest of my life. I originally thought

, it will take ten years to do it, but only three years have passed, and it seems that everyone is no longer in a hurry. In this case, let’s start..."

While chanting loudly, he tilted his neck and drank the eighth cup. Suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed, saying: "After tonight's family banquet, I will be the emperor from now on."

This is the declaration of founding the country and proclaiming himself emperor.

Posted at the third family dinner.
