Xiang Yu had never expected that so many civil and military officials and nobles would come today.
He didn't expect that these people would bring their families to attend the banquet.
The original 600 tables were far from enough.
Fortunately, the old butler had already prepared for this. When he saw the powerful people rushing over, he immediately ordered the servants to set up the tables and chairs.
It was also fortunate that this mansion was once the Qi King's mansion. Otherwise, it would be difficult to accommodate so many guests.
Of course, Xiang Yu did not need to worry about these trivial matters at all.
His main task was to receive the more important guests. As for the ordinary civil and military officials and dignitaries, there would be stewards to receive them.
While receiving the guests, Xiang Yu also saw many famous people from high school textbooks.
Chu Suiliang, Yan Liben, Ouyang Xun, these big shots were all present. These scholars had always had their eyes on the top of their heads. They would never give those worldly things.
They were similar to Wei Zheng. They gave their own paintings and calligraphy works.
If it was a rough guy like Cheng Yaojin, he would definitely scold these stingy scholars. However, Xiang Yu knew that whether it was their calligraphy or paintings, they were all done with great care.
Moreover, its value was not something that ordinary gifts could compare to.
Xiang Yu warmly received these few scholars and came to the inner hall.
The guests in the Inner Hall were clearly divided. First, they were seated according to their factions, then they were seated according to their scholars and generals.
For example, Li Shimin's former subordinates were all sitting on the west side of the inner hall. The people who had joined the Wa Gang Village sat in the east.
As for Ouyang Xun, Yan Liben, and Chu Suiliang, they were invited to their table by Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng.
The entire Inner Hall basically belonged to the Heavenly Policy Manor.
The other nobles were led to other courtyards or the east and west halls.
"The Prince of Hejian has arrived. He gave Gou Jian, King of Yue, a bronze sword and ten Xiang Concubine fans…"
"Minister of War Li Jing has arrived with the Book of War and Six Military Mirrors.”
When they heard these two names, everyone in the Heavenly Policy Manor had different expressions.
"Hehe, these two fellows actually came. I say, Xiang brat, don't bring them in.”Cheng Yaojin snorted and then said to the other generals,""Everyone, what do you think?"
Other than Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, everyone in the Inner Hall nodded in agreement."Old Cheng is right. Hehe, we don't dare to stay in the same room with such a noble person.”
"Hehe, Marquis Champion, you'd better bring them to the east hall. They are all His Majesty's trusted subordinates.”
"Haha, right, bring them to the east hall.”
Xiang Yu frowned, but she instantly understood something.
Li Xiaogong was the closest nephew of Emperor Li Yuan and had always held the power of the army.
When Li Er, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji were fighting each other, although Li Xiaogong did not participate in the struggle between the two sides, he was still very biased towards his childhood friend Li Jiancheng.
Li Jing was the same. Although he was a famous general who had been recruited by Li Shimin, he had stayed out of the fight with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in the Heavenly Policy Manor.
After the incident at the Black Tortoise Sect, although these two tried their best to ease the relationship between them and the Heavenly Policy Manor, they were humiliated by the generals of the Heavenly Policy Manor.
Now, these two people had come together and even gave such a heavy gift. Their intentions were self-evident. It seemed that he was sincere and wanted to ease the relationship with the future emperor.
Unfortunately, Tian Ce's generals didn't seem to appreciate it.
Looking at the unfriendly expressions of the Inner Hall generals, Wei Zheng wanted to speak up to stop them, but he remembered that he had just surrendered to the King of Qin. How could he have the qualifications to criticize the generals of Heavenly Policy?
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were the ones who understood justice. The two of them looked at each other and said,"Everyone, the Hejian Commandery Prince is a relative of the Imperial Family, the cousin of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and has made great contributions to the Great Tang. How can we humiliate him like this?”
"The Minister of War, Li Jing, is awe-inspiring and revered by the soldiers of the Great Tang. We should not neglect him.”
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were the military advisors of the Heavenly Policy Manor and were respected by the generals. Now that he heard the two of them speak up for Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, he didn't say anything more. However, his expression wasn't very good.
Xiang Yu could not help but admire Fang and Du's foresight. Although Li Er was now the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and held great power, he still had to rope in Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, who had outstanding military achievements and extraordinary military abilities.
Moreover, Li Jing had a high prestige among the millions of Tang soldiers, and he was known as the War God.
He had fought more than a hundred battles and had rarely lost. He was best at defeating many with fewer people and was strong with the weak. How could Li Er not rope in such a powerful military genius?
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu made a decision.
"Since Mr. Du and Mr. Fang have said so, then I will invite them to the inner hall.”
No matter how unhappy the generals of Heavenly Policy were, they could only shut their mouths helplessly.
