Xue Pan opened his mouth and closed it, closed it and opened it again, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

Eventually, he snorted angrily, turned back to his place, and said no more.

Heavenly Sin arched his hand at the Lord of Nanming Kingdom, and he also wanted to go to his position.

The lord of Nanming was still silent in what he had just said and couldn't extricate himself, what the tax exemption decree would bring to Nanmingguo, this lord couldn't be clearer, but now he had encountered many difficulties at the beginning, but he couldn't come up with a solution after thinking about it.

Seeing that the heavenly sin was about to run, he hurriedly shouted: "A family Hou stops!" ”

Heavenly Sin looked back in amazement and said, "This ...... What else does Majesty command? ”

Nan Mingguo said: "I don't know if there is any specific strategy for this tax exemption?" ”

Heavenly Sin pursed his lips and said with a look of disdain: "That...... I want to tell you a story. ”

"Say."

"Once upon a time, there was a very nice and nice person, he was very kind. One night as he walked through the forest, a little rabbit came and said, "Have pity on me, my hair is too short to survive this winter, can you give me the clothes on my body?" The man agreed, took off all his clothes, and continued naked in the cold wind of the forest. Another snake came and said have mercy on me, I can't see at night, which makes it impossible for me to catch small animals to feed my children, can you give me your eyes? The man agreed again and gave his eyes to the snake. Now he was blind, and listened to the insects and birds in the forest and continued to walk. Then another bat came, and said "Pity me, have mercy on me, my ear is hurt, I can no longer hear an echo, if I don't have an ear I will die, can you give me your own ear?" The man agreed. As a result, he had nothing left, and was about to freeze to death in the forest, when a bird flew past him, saw his miserable appearance, threw down a note, and left. The man opened it, and the note read, 'Fool! ', Majesty, guess what that person would say? ”

His Majesty was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a while before he said, "That person should regret giving away those things before." ”

Heavenly Sin shook his head and said, "No, that person said thank you, he said that he had given so much, and finally received a gift from someone else for the first time. ”

After speaking, he tilted his head and looked at His Majesty, his eyes were a little strange.

His Majesty didn't react at first, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

He could hear it, it turned out that this family was blaming him for the reward he promised last time had not been fulfilled, and now he began to ask him for ideas and solutions, and directly described His Majesty as those selfish animals. There is nothing wrong with their demands, they are all for themselves or for their families, just like Your Majesty, all your demands are for your own country.

But they gave nothing back to the man who gave them a new lease of life.

His Majesty was a little embarrassed, looked at the ministers below, and waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, you can go back and stand." ”

"Thank you."

Heavenly Sin is now simply waiting for the next dynasty, and he came to see the lord of Nanming by himself, which can be regarded as reconfirming the relationship between the two, fortunately, although it is weak, it will not be a big fight.

However, His Majesty's next words made the wishful thinking of heavenly sin come to naught.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow is the Nanming Torch Festival, which should be celebrated by the whole world tomorrow, but tomorrow I promised my mother that she would accompany her to celebrate her fiftieth birthday, and this annual party will be held today."

In a word, no one in the next hundred officials had any doubts, obviously this matter was decided earlier, and everyone was completely prepared.

But...... There is no sin! I don't know!

He blinked twice, then realized that he had been trapped.

Whether it is today's party or tomorrow's Torch Festival and the Queen Mother's birthday, as an official, I must bring gifts.

And the gifts prepared by everyone are directly to be written in the annals of history, and even the people of the whole world will know what a certain official has sent, which is also a gimmick of the Nanming Torch Festival.

If you don't prepare, won't this shame be thrown to your grandmother's house?

Next, the civil and military officials first went to the side hall to wait, and about half an hour were summoned back, and found that the main hall had been covered with a layer of clean mats, and each person had a small table, which was full of wine and food, and everyone sat down according to their official positions.

Tiansin searched for a long time before he found the seat with his name written on it, and it turned out to be the closest one to the throne, still in front of the general, the captain and the kings, and the opposite to him was the chilling King Huainan.

The two little children looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and after laughing, King Huainan hurriedly lowered his head, his eyes did not make contact with anyone, giving people a very cowardly feeling.

It stands to reason that the banquet should first be given by the host of Nan Mingguo, talk about what is good, commend the people who have made outstanding contributions in this year, and then beat some people, and then after a period of singing and dancing, the banquet will begin.

Nanming's rules are not as big as the other three countries, and they are not as many as them, so in general, they are relatively casual, and hundreds of officials can even walk around each other to toast.

But this year, the lord of Nanming did not stand up and speak, but just raised the wine glass in his hand, slapped his face, and the graceful woman came out from both sides and staged a beautiful song and dance, and the banquet was the beginning.

The civil and military officials originally felt a little strange, and secretly looked at His Majesty, but found that he was smiling at the heavenly sin as if he was angry, and everyone understood at once.

If it is commended, it is definitely to commend this sudden rise of a family, his exploits are actually relatively obscure to many people, but everyone has the same mirror in their hearts, what refined salt, what taxes, what trade routes...... These are the merits of a family of marquis, if you really want to talk about meritorious deeds, it is not surprising that he is crowned king, after all, he is already a marquis.

But His Majesty just skipped this link, obviously because he was angry about what happened before and just now, and everyone held back a smile in their hearts, all with a good look of watching the show.

Xue Pan's face was gloomy, and he whispered to Yuwen Changqing beside him: "This stinky boy has lost Lao Tzu's face before, Lao Tzu has to teach him a good lesson!" ”

Yuwen Changqing is a petty official, but he is Yuwen Changxin's younger brother, and Yuwen Changxin is the captain of the dynasty! Yuwen's family is extremely powerful, and it is Yuwen Changxin's young eldest son, Yuwen Xin, who is now the 'right general', leading millions of officers and soldiers.

This in itself proves the strength of the Yuwen family, because if you are a civil official, then you will never be allowed to touch the martial arts, if you become a military attaché, your family will have nothing to do with the civil officials, this is the way of imperial power and balance, but it is broken in the Yuwen family.

Yuwen Changqing smiled: "I don't know what the little grandfather has to plan?" ”

Xue Pan sneered: "It's not simple? Our Xue family is rich, although the Queen Mother's birthday is tomorrow, but today everyone has brought gifts, as long as our gifts are better than that of the Hou, and then in front of everyone greatly cut his face, within an hour this matter can spread throughout the entire Dawan City, so that the whole world will laugh at him! ”

Yuwen Changqing smiled: "The little grandfather is really a clever plan! ”

said this on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart, he only felt that this Xue Pan was really a piece of mud that couldn't be attached to the wall, if it wasn't for the love of the old lady of the Xue family, how could he sit in such an important official position as Dasi Nong?

However, such an idiot also has his own unique use, and it is perfect to use him as a gunman and stand behind his back to manipulate him.

Yuwen Changqing said again: "This household Hou Shangchao also brought a woman with him, although His Majesty didn't say anything, turned a blind eye, but this is always an extremely ridiculous thing, then the little grandfather can mention yì let the woman dance for His Majesty, if His Majesty took a fancy to her, but snatched the woman from the hands of a family Hou, wouldn't he want to give a big green hat to a family Hou?" ”

Xue Pan's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Clever plan!" The thing that this man hates the most is that he has been cuckolded, especially this family marquis who has always protected his shortcomings, I am afraid that it will be...... Hey, hey, I'm going to cry to death! ”

Yuwen Changqing scolded the idiot again in his heart.

In fact, his purpose is not this, how can His Majesty be so absurd?

He used Xue Pan's identity to brush up on the conspiracy again!

Before, on top of the court, His Majesty asked a family of Hou to stand up, in fact, it was to cut Xue Pan's face, which is difficult to explain to the Xue family, if Xue Pan stood up and let the woman dance, if His Majesty disagreed, it would be to cut Xue Pan's face twice, then the Xue family's old woman would not have to blow up the temple?

But if His Majesty agrees, can the Hou of the family agree to his woman coming out and being stared at by these stinky men?

One lets, one doesn't let it, this contradiction comes, the relationship between His Majesty and a family is in jeopardy, if this matter becomes the fuse, the two families pinch each other, hehe, then it is another opportunity for the Yuwen family to rise again!

And whether His Majesty disagrees or not, he always has to offend one party, whether he offends the Xue family or offends a marquis, this is a happy thing.

The banquet is still going on, and the little ladies who dance are really beautiful, most of them are about fourteen years old, one by one, and their bodies are even more graceful.

He subconsciously picked up a chicken leg to eat, took a bite, and then spit it out again.

Looking down at the seemingly sumptuous wine and food on this table, he couldn't help but slander His Majesty again.

This majesty xià is too fucking picking!

Even the worst wine and food in Ning Xianglou are hundreds of times stronger than this. It's also a state banquet anyway, how can you be so foolish? And this wine ...... What is this wine called? When I used to smell it on my nose, it was a sour smell, not so much wine as 'bean juice'!

On the other hand, there were fine wine and food on the table of His Majesty, although he deliberately covered it up, but who couldn't see the foam in the wine glass? It's obviously the beer of Ningxiang Building!

This damn old slammer.

At this moment, a dancing girl broke her foot and suddenly fell in a neat formation, which looked so abrupt.

The dancing girl didn't even feel pain anymore, her heart was full of horror, cold sweat and tears flowed down together, and she fell to her knees with a thud, and didn't speak, just kowtowed violently.

Heavenly Sin snorted, to say that this woman was still too nervous.

If she can take the opportunity to change her movements, make this fall fall out of a kind of beauty, and let the dance continue as much as possible, everyone will turn a blind eye even if she finds out, but now that she kowtows like this, the other dancers will not dance, and they will kneel down and shudder.

The audience fell silent suddenly, and His Majesty's face turned blue.
