Chapter 707
Wu Zhidong and Qian Wanli were in a good mood, and each toasted to the officials under him. Because they were greedy for drinking, they got drunk alone, and because they listened to flattery too much, their hearts were high.

Seeing that they were drunk, Li Yuanhao stepped forward and raised his wine glass, and said to them: "You two princes! Just now you said that you are [-] years old! Aren't you afraid that it will be heard by the emperor and punished?"

This sentence, Li Yuanhao asked very sharply, but the triumphant Wu Zhidong and Qian Wanli took advantage of the alcohol and said, "Your Majesty! What is it? Is our fourth prince and Marshal Li Jun as majestic as he is?"

With one word to tell the truth, Li Yuanhao suppressed the surprise in his heart, pretended to be calm, and said to Wu Zhidong and Qian Wanli:
"I heard that there are only two Marquises in the Jingtian Dynasty. As Marquises, do you have any gifts from the emperor?"

This is a tentative question. Fortunately, Wu Zhidong and Qian Wanli were drunk, so they just pointed their fingers in disdain and said:
"It's just our luck! On the occasion of the Fourth Prince's birthday celebration, we used a family heirloom to present it to the Fourth Prince, and was named Marquis of Ten Thousand Households by Marshal Li Jun! Haha! I have the badges of Marshal Li Jun and the Fourth Prince here !"

Wu Zhidong and Qian Wanli each took out a golden token, made of pure gold, shining golden and eye-catching, which amazed the officials who came to congratulate.

Li Yuanhao was really angry that Grand Marshal Li Jun and the Fourth Prince abused their power during their private visits on microservices while they were not in the capital.

There must be some ulterior secret to enshrine these two greedy and oppressive people as Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.

So, he said to Wu Zhidong and Qian Wanli:
"Second Lords! May I ask what heirlooms you used to dedicate to the Fourth Prince? We want to see it! In the future, if we have similar treasures, we will directly dedicate them to you!

Then, you will present it to the Fourth Prince, Marshal Li Jun! "

After Li Yuanhao finished speaking, in order not to make people suspect that he came to find out the details, he said to the surrounding civil and military officials:

"My lords, are you right? We will always support the two princes! The two princes have been promoted! We will follow suit!"

All the officials responded in unison: "Yes! Yes! We will live and prosper together with the two Marquises! We will be prosperous together!"

The words of flattery made Wu Zhidong and Qian Wanli sound like they were floating in the air even more. As the saying goes, one speaks the truth after drinking.

Because Li Yuanhao led everyone and gained the trust of the two Hou Ye, he simply told the story of his acquisition of the family heirloom - the jade pendant.

Zhang Erwan, who was next to him, finally realized that his family heirloom was presented to the Fourth Prince and Li Jun by Wu Zhidong, and he almost shouted: "Return my family heirloom!"

Fortunately, Liu Yunxiang was present and tightly covered Zhang Erwan's mouth with both hands. Li Yuanhao asked him what was going on.

Taking advantage of the crowd's congratulations, Zhang Erwan told the whole story about his family treasure being taken by Wu Zhidong.

"So that's the case! It's really unreasonable!" Li Yuanhao was indignant.

At this moment, the person in charge of the ceremony announced the list of people who came to congratulate him. Li Yuanhao asked Liu Yunxiang to write down them one by one. After the banquet, Li Yuanhao and his party left the Hou Wang's Mansion for three miles, but found that the three of them had been following him.

Because it was getting late, Li Yuanhao couldn't see the faces of the three people clearly, thinking that the two masters had sent someone to follow them, so he ordered Liu Yunxiang to drive the carriage and move forward at full speed.

No, the three of them also drove to catch up.
