Chapter 226: His Majesty's Birthday (2)

After eating, everyone walked slowly to the main hall of the Lin De Palace, and at this time, the noon banquet of His Majesty the Emperor and the courtiers had ended. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info eunuch palace maid has already changed to the couch with quick hands and feet.

In the end, the ladies and ladies of the family all looked for their own doors, and then sat down according to their positions, and at each feast, every family, regardless of gender, gathered together to sit together.

Shao Xunmei naturally sat next to Li Rongxi, the king of Ding, and the position of the two was not far from His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and even as soon as she looked up, she could see that His Majesty the Emperor looked extraordinarily majestic and spiritual today, and today was the most solemn ceremony, so he was wearing a twelve-chapter crown dress and a twelve-crown crown on his head, and even she couldn't see what expression the face she was used to seeing under the crown was at this time.

And sitting with him were the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, the three of them sitting on it at the same time, His Majesty the Emperor was in the middle position, the Empress Dowager was on the left, and the Empress Dowager was on the right. The Emperor Taishang was still wearing the black gown worn by the sacrifice, and he did not change his clothes, and he sat there quietly, his solemn face and unresponsive appearance made those ministers excited When they paid homage to the Emperor, it was like a basin of cold water poured directly on their heads, and they were all cold.

And after everyone met the Emperor, the Emperor sometimes didn't even open his eyes, and at most he gave you a word that was your creation! Therefore, in the end, everyone ignored the existence of the Emperor Taishang, and this seems to be what the Emperor Taishang meant.

And Shao Xunmei looked at the sitting Emperor Taishang from time to time, that person is said to be fifty years old this year, but looking at the serious look, some people believe it when they say that they are older than fifty!

And compared with Emperor Kang Ping, Li Rongxu is more imaginary in terms of facial contours, but the facial features are not so similar, oh, and Li Rongxi, the father and son seem to have very tough and deep faces, and in general, Li Rongxi and Kang Ping are more like father and son than Li Rongxu.

And Shao Xunmei looked at the emperor who was obviously a little vicissitudes, the depression in this person's eyes and the loneliness in the depths of his eyes were so empty, it seemed that his whole soul had been taken away, only such an empty shell remained, and his hair was even grayer, all of which undoubtedly did not mean that this person was immersed in the pain of the death of his beloved wife all the time and could not extricate himself.

Sure enough, it's a red-faced love robbery, a hero's mound, and an infatuated lover's grave! Well, her fellow is really charming! is the only pet alive, and death has also made a generation of emperors depressed and decadent, she is more and more curious about that person's methods, and more and more admired!

The main hall of the Lin De Hall is divided into two floors, and the main hall below is particularly wide, almost the widest and largest palace in the entire palace. Therefore, even if there are high-level qualifications in the court to celebrate the emperor's birthday, as well as the hairpin family, those feudal officials and foreign envoys, there is no crowding, but the seats are scattered, and the space is more than enough.

After Li Yongxu made a speech, the next thing was that His Majesty the Emperor accepted gifts from foreign envoys. In the morning, it is the congratulations and gifts of the princes and officials, and the birthday gifts of the princes and officials are very exquisite, which can basically be summarized by the words "fine, precious and strange". Most of the birthday gifts are ruyi, bonsai, clocks, interstitials, lacquerware, weaving and embroidery and other exquisite handicrafts, and the content is based on the theme of blessing, longevity and auspiciousness. Birthday gifts highlight the meaning of blessing and birthday celebrations from both the ornamentation and the shape.

Whether His Majesty the Emperor is young or old, you can't go wrong with these themes and gifts! Because in the past, when His Majesty the Emperor had a birthday banquet, these ministers gave gifts like this, so everyone didn't have any expectations, but they were more looking forward to the congratulatory gifts from the envoys of the other three countries.

You must know that this is the first time that the envoys of the Three Kingdoms have appeared in the Great Wei Dynasty at the same time to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor on his birthday! As we all know, the relationship between southern Xinjiang and the Great Wei Dynasty has always been tense, that is, although the two sides have already had a truce for a long time, Yongzhou and southern Xinjiang, which are adjacent to southern Xinjiang garrisoned by His Royal Highness King Ding, also have friction from time to time, and there is quite a momentum of incompatibility.

The Xiliang country in the northwest was busy with civil strife in the past few years, and had no time to come to the Great Wei Dynasty to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and it was only last year that it stabilized, and then appeared at the birthday banquet of His Majesty the Emperor this year.

And the north of the border with the Great Wei Dynasty in the North of the Northern Mongolia, although it has been because of food and resource problems until the late autumn and winter will have friction with the Great Wei, but basically all of them are petty fights, and since Emperor Kangping opened the mutual market with the Northern Mongolia, the problem of the autumn wind in the Northern Mongolia because of food resources has rarely occurred, so the relationship between the Great Wei and the Northern Mongolia is the most harmonious. And Beimeng will also send an envoy to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor.

And the first to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor and contribute congratulatory gifts is Beimeng, who is driving in a light car, and this time it is still the Prime Minister of Northern Mongolia Su Wen, this person is a mixed-race person, his father is a person from the Great Wei, but his mother is from the Northern Mongolian tribe, and this person in addition to the tall figure and deep facial features with the Northern Mongolia, it seems that he is completely an elegant literati, this person is forty-five or sixteen years old, with a mustache, and over the years, the envoys of the Northern Mongolia to congratulate the Emperor have always been the Northern Mongolian prime minister who is proficient in the Great Wei language.

When the minister of the DPRK and China saw that it was Beimeng, he only glanced at it lightly, and there was no excitement or expectation. It's about the congratulatory gift of the Northern Mongolian court, which is almost the same every year!

Sure enough, Shao Xunmei saw Su Wen kneeling down respectfully for Li Rongxu, and only after meeting the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor said loudly: "On behalf of Beimeng, Su Wen congratulates His Majesty the Emperor of Great Wei on his health and longevity, and his longevity is boundless." In order to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, we in Beimeng specially present a congratulatory gift. ”

Subsequently, a messenger from Beimeng came up and sang: "One hundred war horses, one hundred cattle and sheep, one hundred pearls, one hundred pearls, one hundred taels of gold, one hundred taels of silver, ten boxes of agate, ten boxes of green jade, ten boxes of white jade, ten boxes of jade, ten boxes of various colored crystal stones, ten boxes of various colored gems, one ginseng for five hundred years, ten ginseng trees for two hundred years, one hundred ginseng trees for a hundred years, and ten beauties, extremely dark iron thousand catties, iron birch thousand catties, extremely ......."

The man was still singing the list of congratulatory gifts, but some people were already surprised, those gold, silver, jewelry, medicinal beauties and nothing are unusual, this is every country will congratulate, the most ordinary thing, but this war horse was actually given to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Wei as a congratulatory gift by Beimeng, who doesn't know, Beimeng is a country on horseback, and the most favorite and most precious thing is their war horse! And they would rather lack food and clothing, than wronged their war horses! Even in the past, when Beimeng came to congratulate the Great Wei Emperor, it was not a war horse that was sent, but a very famous ornamental horse in Beimeng, and it was only ten horses at most!

And this time, Beimeng was so bold that he actually gave His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor a hundred war horses! Don't they hurt in the flesh?

Well, if that makes sense, then the dark iron and the iron birch are even more precious! Among them, dark iron is a precious material for forging weapons, and the weapons made from this are extremely sharp, and the attack power is greatly increased, and this kind of dark iron only exists in Beimeng, and a small amount in Xiliang.

And the dark iron used for the forging of weapons in Dawei over the years needs to be purchased from Beimeng, and it is limited! And it's good that Xiliang can keep his own house, where is the surplus to sell?

And the iron birch is the hardest wood in the world, it is three times harder than oak and twice as hard as ordinary steel, and Beimeng uses it as a substitute for metal. In addition, the vehicles made of this are even more sturdy and have strong defensive functions.

Therefore, the war horse, the black iron, and the iron birch are the three national treasures of Beimeng, and they are the most fundamental reason why Beimeng is now strong, and Beimeng is even more stingy, where has it been so generous? Especially the iron birch, even if all countries buy it with silver, Beimeng may not necessarily sell it!

And now, with a wave of his hand, a thousand catties of Xuan Tie and a thousand catties of Tie Hua were given to His Majesty the Emperor as a congratulatory gift!

Therefore, those people who didn't have any illusions about Beimeng only buzzed in their heads when they heard these congratulatory gifts, and the registration of the congratulatory gifts still rang in their ears, proving that this was not fake, not hallucinated by them!

So, now they all have their eyes wide open! The look was so excited and excited, well, to the point where I couldn't speak! Ahem, ahem! This Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, this has never seen the world, but it is really a shame for the Great Wei Dynasty!

Fortunately, there is also His Majesty the Emperor, whose lips have been rising, and His Majesty the Emperor did not smile so much that he couldn't close his mouth after listening to these congratulatory gifts, let alone be so excited that he couldn't speak or was abnormal or anything, and he just smiled so faintly, "I thank Beimeng for such a generous gift, and I also want to maintain friendly relations between our two countries, today, Prime Minister Su Cheng wants to have a drink for your Northern Mongolian Khan!" ”

After Su Wen answered, he sat back. At this time, Beimeng's congratulatory gift was completed, and Shao Xunmei noticed that Li Rongxi's hand holding the wine glass beside him was pinched tightly, and there were green tendons protruding on his hand, Shao Xunmei would be worried that the wine glass would not be able to withstand his strength and shatter into powder in the next second.

Therefore, Shao Xunmei asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Rongxi turned his head and looked at Shao Xunmei, who was looking at him with her eyes, her eyes seemed to be vaguely worried about him, as if because of this look, he smiled lightly with phoenix eyes, put the wine glass in his hand on the desk, held her hand and said softly: "It's okay!" ”

Shao Xunmei was held by his dry and warm hand, and wanted to stretch it out, but when she wanted to make a move, the person seemed to have long been accustomed to her reaction, and firmly shackled her hand in the palm of her hand, so if she wanted to take her hand out, she had to pull it back with all her strength!

You can imagine how indecent it would be to be discovered by someone with such great force! So, her hand was under the desk, and she was held by that person!

It wasn't long before she tried to take it out, but the man held it tightly, like a clumping clasp, and showed no sign of relaxation.

And His Majesty the Emperor Li Rongxu is on it, as long as people are not paying attention, his eyes will glance in the direction of the two of them from time to time, and he is even more high, seeing far away, and what a smart person he is!

So soon, the face was black! Then he picked up the white jade wine cup of the golden dragon on the table of the dragon and phoenix, and drank the longevity wine inside! (To be continued.) )
