On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Emperor Yuanwu was born.

One hundred years after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, Emperor Yuan Wu was the fifth emperor. In terms of age, compared to the first four ancestors, he is already considered to be a high life.

Although Chang Runzhi has a lot of opinions about Emperor Yuanwu's partiality with the crown prince, he has to admit that in addition to being a little confused and partial to Emperor Yuanwu in the matter of the prince, he is very insightful in other state affairs.

Judging from the fact that Emperor Yuanwu was only in his forties, but he looked like a fifty-year-old man, it is not too much to say that he was a diligent emperor.

If it weren't for Emperor Yuanwu's conscientiousness, Great Wei would not have the grand scene of all countries coming to court and thousands of weather.

These merits are enough for Emperor Yuanwu to remain in the annals of history, and future generations will probably talk about the prosperity of Yuanwu.

Chang Runzhi followed Chang Muzhi into the palace as usual.

The liveliness in the palace is no less than that of the night of the New Year, and Emperor Yuanwu, as the birthday star, is also dressed up today, looking radiant, and talking to the prince and several princes.

Chang Muzhi lowered his head slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Chang Runzhi looked at their father and son for a while, and carefully observed the expressions of the next few people.

Emperor Yuanwu was really happy to see it, but the smile on the prince's face was a little fake.

The King of Rites, who had seen him when he went to the Ministry of Rites, stood aside with a smile, unable to see his emotions for the time being.

King Zhu's face froze, probably because he had such a serious, non-angry and arrogant face, and no one expressed surprise.

King Qi, who has always made people feel like a spring breeze, talked and laughed with Emperor Yuanwu.

There was only one King Cen left, standing boredly to the side, as if listening to Emperor Yuanwu and his brothers.

At first glance, nothing seems wrong.

But Chang Runzhi was keenly aware that King Zhu would glance at the prince from time to time, and the prince would occasionally look back at him.

It's kind of weird.

As far as Chang Runzhi knows, the crown prince and all his brothers who have been crowned kings are just face-to-face.

Liu Tong once said that although King Rui said that although King Li looked at the face, he was a two-faced and three-faced person. Chang Runzhi can also see that King Li is not as simple as he seems, but it is true that he is low-key, and he is well versed in the way of Taoguang and obscurity.

It can be seen that King Li is not a simple person.

As for King Qi, as the crown prince, the second son of Emperor Yuanwu, he lost in the words "嫡" and "Chang". But he is talented, and his mother's family is powerful, if you want to say that he is willing to succumb to the prince, Chang Runzhi doesn't believe it very much.

Liu Tong talked to her when he was gossiping, and when the incident of the embankment in Langxi happened, the first person to stand up and ask Emperor Yuanwu to thoroughly investigate the cause of the embankment failure, and the prince was "innocent", which was the king of Qi.

The calculation is clear, just think about it.

Let's talk about wishing the king. Zhu Wang has a simple mind and a reckless temperament, but in fact, he is the most easy to offend people. Chang Runzhi felt that he was a little stupid and bold, after all, he had been in the matter of wishing the king in person and the prince several times. The prince is a small and suspicious person, and it is estimated that he still holds a grudge, and he can see that it is strange to wish the king.

There is only one King Cen left......

Chang Runzhi thought about it, but he really didn't have any impression of King Cen.

Putting aside King Qi, King Li, and King Cen, the eye interaction between the prince and King Zhu is really suspicious.

Chang Runzhi was secretly speculating, Chang Muzhi suddenly pulled her, and said softly: "Go to the mother's side and sit down, and you will start offering birthday gifts to the saint in a while." ”

Chang Runzhi nodded, and followed Chang Muzhi to Concubine Xian.

The concubines have been promoted from the position of concubines to the position of the fourth concubine, and now they are on an equal footing with the three concubines of Gui, De, and Shu, and they are still a little unable to adapt.

After all, when she saw these three before, she had to salute and say goodbye.

Seeing the two of them coming, Concubine Xian was very happy, and after the two of them were blessed, she asked them with a smile: "Is the birthday gift for the saint ready?" ”

"Don't worry, mother." Chang Muzhi and Chang Runzhi both nodded, and Chang Muzhi said again: "I haven't congratulated my mother yet, my daughter-in-law congratulates my mother on her promotion to the concubine position." ”

Chang Runzhi also followed and congratulated.

"One sentence of congratulations is enough, so as not to let people look at me and say that I am crazy and so on." Concubine Xian waved her hand, and couldn't help but ask them, "Xiao Wu hasn't heard from him yet?" ”

Chang Muzhi slowly shook his head.

"What about Xiao Jiu? What about the people you sent out? Concubine Xian asked.

Chang Muzhi still shook his head.

"Hey." Concubine Xian sighed: "It's the fifth day of the first month...... I also talked to Your Majesty about this, and Your Majesty told me not to worry too much...... How can a mother not worry about her children? ”

Chang Runzhi's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, let the concubine not worry too much about King Rui and Ah Tong?" ”

"yes." Concubine Xian bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty said that they are not three-year-old children, they are all adults who have started a family, what can they ......do?"

Concubine Xian said helplessly: "What men think is always different from us women. ”

Chang Runzhi was thoughtful.

The sisters said goodbye and sat back in their places.

The ceremony of offering a birthday gift to Emperor Yuanwu began.

The small countries in the Western Regions and overseas friends all gave birthday gifts, and the magistrates of the Great Wei prefectures and prefectures also tried their best to offer some gifts of unique significance to congratulate Emperor Yuanwu on his birthday.

All the gifts will be carried up to the main hall for display.

Emperor Yuanwu had a gentle smile on his face all the time, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was also very good.

The birthday gifts offered by all non-related people have come to an end for the time being, and then it is time for the crown prince, several princes and princes to offer birthday gifts.

Although Chang Runzhi didn't know what the situation was like in previous years, he could imagine it, and whenever he was at this time, he might not be able to escape the words "open and secret fighting".

As the prince, the crown prince entered the birthday gift to coincide with his finale.

Starting from the youngest prince, birthday gifts were presented one after another.

When it was the turn of the Nine Emperor Princes, Chang Runzhi put up the ancient jade carvings of the general election.

The concubine joked to Emperor Yuanwu on the side: "The Nine Emperor Princes have married a wife, and the gift-giving is not so rigid. If the concubine remembers correctly, in previous years, the Nine Emperors chose some calligraphy and paintings, but this year they sent such a carving. ”

Chang Runzhi sent the ancient jade carvings, the selection is the Western Regions Cheshi produced Hetian white jade jade, the overall carving is only the size of a newborn baby, the pattern is a longevity peach with a bat falling on it, take the longevity of the peach of the "longevity" and the "blessing" of the bat meaning. The carving of this carving piece is very skillful, and the longevity peach and the bat are lifelike.

Emperor Yuanwu nodded, looking quite satisfied: "The Nine Emperors have a heart, reward." ”

Every time he offered a birthday gift, Emperor Yuanwu would call for a reward, and Chang Runzhi received the reward without any psychological pressure.

After thanking the reward, Chang Runzhi stepped aside.

After the eighth prince and the seventh prince also offered birthday gifts, it began to be the turn of several princes.

Chang Runzhi glanced at the crown prince and several princes who were standing closest to Emperor Yuanwu, and secretly speculated about what birthday gifts they would give. (To be continued.) )
