Chapter 0274 Tao Qian’s celebration banquet, escorted by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!!!
An imperial edict from the court.
It made the princes of the world confused.
But for Tao Qian in Xuzhou.
It was a great joy.
Xuzhou, Tancheng.
The night was as dark as ink.
Tao Qian’s banquet hall was brightly lit and lively.
In the banquet hall, there were many guests, laughter filled the ears, and a festive atmosphere was everywhere.
The sound of zithers and orchestras was endless, and the aroma of delicious food was overflowing.
Tao Qian sat on the main seat.
His face was rosy and he was in high spirits.
It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this reward.
Today, Tao Qian held a banquet to celebrate his being named Sikong, Marquis of Tan, and having a fief of 10,000 households by the court.
At the same time, it was also to celebrate Liu Bei’s appointment as the governor of Xuzhou.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Cao Bao, Zhao Yu, Zang Ba, Sun Qian and other civil officials and generals gathered together.
They were either whispering to each other or drinking.
Everyone’s face was filled with joyful smiles.
Tao Qian sat in the main seat.
He looked around at the counselors and generals gathered together.
A sense of pride surged in his heart.
He raised his glass and said loudly:”Everyone, today I am blessed by the court!”
“It is a great honor to be appointed Sikong, granted the title of Marquis of Tan, and given a fief of 10,000 households.”
“At the same time, Liu Xuande was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, which was also a blessing for the people of Xuzhou!”
“Let us raise our glasses together to toast the wise decision of the court and the future of Xuzhou!”
“”Cheers!”
Everyone responded in unison, and cheers rang out in the banquet hall.
They raised their glasses to celebrate, and for a while, there was constant laughter and joy. Liu Bei was wearing a gorgeous dress, smiling, and drinking from his glass.
Tao Qian picked up the wine glass and came to Liu Bei’s table.
He held Liu Bei’s hand, his eyes full of admiration.
“Lord Xuande, today’s banquet is to celebrate our happy event!”
“We must drink to our heart’s content, and not stop until we are drunk!”
Liu Bei laughed:”The stability of Xuzhou is all due to Mr. Tao’s achievements, and the reward from the court is well deserved!”
Hearing this, Tao Qian laughed:”Xuan De, you are too kind!”
“Xuande, you have now been appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, which is well deserved!!”
“From now on, Xuzhou depends on you, and the expectations of the people of Xuzhou rest on you!”
Liu Bei smiled, his heart was full of gratitude and joy.
He raised his glass to toast Tao Qian:”Mr. Tao, I am very grateful!”
“I will do my best to live up to the high hopes of Mr. Tao and the court!”
Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and others also came forward to toast.
Their words were full of respect for Liu Bei and their expectations for the future of Xuzhou. Cao Bao and Zhao Yu exchanged glances, and they had complicated emotions in their hearts.
Tao Qian’s reward and Liu Bei’s appointment.
Will undoubtedly change the power structure in Xuzhou.
They must reconsider their position.
Zang Ba’s face was full of excitement.
Gu Changan had other arrangements for him, and this arrangement was exactly what he had dreamed of.
Guan Yu sat next to Liu Bei, his phoenix eyes narrowed.
He whispered to Liu Bei:”Brother, you are now appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, which is well deserved!”
“But, Yide and I have been transferred by the general, and I am afraid that we will not be able to help brother in the future!”
Liu Bei smiled slightly, and he said:”Don’t learn to be sentimental!”
“You and Yide are brave enough to fight against ten thousand men, now is the time for you to make achievements!”
Zhang Fei laughed heartily and said in a loud voice:”Second brother, eldest brother is right!”
“We have made great achievements, and Big Brother has more face!”
“Hahaha!”
Liu Bei laughed and said,”Third brother, what you said makes sense!”
The atmosphere of the banquet became more and more heated.
Everyone spoke freely, and the sounds of laughter and the clinking of wine glasses came one after another.
Tao Qian looked at everything in front of him, and his heart was full of satisfaction.
He knew that today’s banquet was not just a celebration.
It was also an important turning point in the future of Xuzhou.
It can even be said to be an important turning point in the future of the court.
I believe that the princes of the world are all uneasy because of this matter.
Tao Qian smiled slightly in his heart.
After a period of time, after Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou, submits a memorial to the court, it will probably be even more lively.
Tao Qian is getting older and weaker.
In addition, his several sons are very untalented.
Originally thought that the family business in Xuzhou would be given to others.
Unexpectedly, there is a bright future after a dark period.
For Sikong, one of the Three Dukes Tao Qian didn’t really care about the official position.
At his age, he wouldn’t be able to stay in this position for long. What really satisfied Tao Qian was that he was named Marquis of Tan and had a fief of 10,000 households.
This was the real family business that could be passed on.
Even if his sons were not good enough, with this family business , future generations would be guaranteed.
Who knows when he will have outstanding children and grandchildren and can revive the Tao family.
Tao Qian thought of something happy, so he went straight to someone to drink and drank.
The night was getting late.
The banquet at Tao Qian’s mansion was gradually coming to an end.
Everyone said goodbye one after another, and Liu Bei and others were also ready to leave.
Tao Qian personally sent them out of the mansion.
He held Liu Bei’s hand tightly and said earnestly:”Xuan De, the future of Xuzhou is in your hands!”
Liu Bei also held Tao Qian’s hand tightly:”Don’t worry, Mr. Tao, I will live up to your trust!”
Then.
Tao Qian looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
He said:”It is an honor to be escorted by Yun Chang and Yi De on this trip to Chang’an City!”
Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled, looking at 5.1 Tao Qian with a smile in his eyes
“Mr. Tao, you don’t have to be so polite. We three brothers have been very grateful for your care in Xuzhou!”
“It just happened to be along the way, so it can’t be considered a special escort!”
Tao Qian smiled and waved his hand:”Yunchang, you are too kind. With you and Yide, I feel at ease on this trip!”
Zhang Fei patted his chest generously:”Don’t worry, Mr. Tao, I will do my best to protect your whole family!”
“”Thank you very much, Generals!”
Tao Qian said, bowing.
Tao Qian stood at the door and watched everyone leave.
He always had a satisfied smile on his face.
