On the eighth day of the lunar month, Taizu's birthday arrived.

Since the founding of the Taisho country, Weijia Hai, Siyi surrendered. Taizu was born from a hard background, knew the suffering of the people, severely punished corruption on the one hand, and lightly punished the meager on the other. In just over 30 years, it has been a scene of prosperity and happiness.

The common people are living a good life, and they are naturally grateful to the new dynasty.

On the birthday of Taizu, every household in Kyoto City took the initiative to put up lanterns, and there was an atmosphere of celebration all over the world.

The palace has been busy for a long time, but Taizu has always been frugal, and he is not allowed to spend a lot of money to get those luxurious things. It is because the palace looks a little bland, not as lively as the street.

As usual, the morning is still the morning court, and after the dispersal of the court, the courtiers return to their homes. After lunch, I rushed to the Taiji Hall with a well-prepared birthday gift and officially congratulated Taizu on his birthday.

An Le Gong had long known about the congratulatory gift from Zhu Ping'an, and he also felt that if this matter could be successful, he would definitely be able to save face in one fell swoop. It's just the first time I went to the birthday banquet empty-handed, and I always felt that I was not very down-to-earth.

On the way to the palace, the sedan chair is like weaving, and when it arrives at Zhengyang Gate, it will fall off the sedan chair one after another. Zhengyang Gate is the main gate to enter the palace, in addition to the emperor and the emperor's grandson, even if it is the old prince of Chengping, you have to walk in and out.

The people who got off the sedan chair here were all dressed in purple and red, and they were all members of the imperial court with more than three grades, all of them with spring breezes on their faces, and they bowed their hands to each other.

The old man and Zhu Ping'an naturally got off the sedan chair here.

"Old man......"

"Greetings to my husband......"

There are people who are familiar with An Legong, and they smile and ask for peace.

An Legong smiled and was about to return the salute, but the audience shouted, "Xiangye is here......" So they greeted Liu Ruchang's green clay sedan chair together.

Liu Ruchang slowly walked out of the sedan chair with a solemn face, but nodded slightly to show his meaning.

An Legong's smile hung on his face, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. However, he also knew that Liu Ruchang was the head of the hundred officials, and under one person, he was naturally much heavier than himself, who had a title and no position. It is natural for the officials to befriend him.

"The little nephew asked the old man to say goodbye...... Hey? Old man, on your birthday in previous years, you were a lot of broken copper and iron, aren't you...... It's gold, silver, and jewelry, and it's sent to the palace, why are you empty-handed today? ”

Liu He got off the sedan chair with his father, and when he saw Zhu Ping'an's father and son, he couldn't wait to laugh.

Most of the officials here have participated in Taizu's birthday, so they naturally know this allusion, and they can't help but smile knowingly. Those new seniors who participated in the birthday for the first time, although they had not seen it with their own eyes, had also heard of this allusion, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and said in their hearts, "This old man is really a nouveau riche face." ”

"Oh, the little nephew understands, the old man must be troublesome with this large pile of things, and he has exchanged the silver tickets in the money number, isn't it?"

Liu He asked with a deliberate smile again.

That day, Zhu Ping'an offended him so badly, he held back the evil fire in his belly, just waiting for today's opportunity to humiliate him.

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

The old man's face was a little unbearable, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he looked at Zhu Ping'an beside him with some embarrassment, and secretly said in his heart, "If I knew this, it would be better to be the same as in previous years, everyone is used to it." It's better than being empty-handed like today and being teased by this junior. ”

Zhu Ping'an knew what his father meant, so he didn't make a sound, pretending to look around like a lively watch.

"Okay, the time has come, you can follow me into the palace......"

Liu Ruchang still had a solemn face, said in a deep voice, and took the lead in walking.

Shoufu spoke, and the officials naturally did what they said, and hurriedly smiled, straightened their clothes, and followed behind Liu Ruchang in turn.

Liu He still had a sarcastic smile on his face, glanced at Zhu Ping'an obliquely, and said in his heart, "You kid just pretend, wait until you get to the main hall, and when you look good." ”

At this time, a group of princes and nobles such as the old prince of Chengping, the prince of Jiyang, and the marquis of Ruyin also arrived, and when they saw Duke An Le, they also had a strange smile on their faces. The old man couldn't help but be even more embarrassed.

Zhu Xin was overjoyed when he saw Zhu Ping'an, and hurriedly came over and gossiped with him. Fu Di, Lan Xian and other juniors naturally gathered around the two of them.

The time has come, and the princes are naturally headed by King Chengping, and Yuguan enters Zhengyang Gate.

…………

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

In the Taiji Palace, under the leadership of Zhu Shouwen, the emperor's grandson, the hundred officials shouted long live and congratulated Taizu on his birthday.

Taizu sat on the dragon chair, and the dragon face, which had always been unsmiling in the past, also showed a rare smile.

After the birthday ceremony, the officials came to offer congratulatory gifts.

"Chen Jin presents a picture of the hundred horses of the previous dynasty, and wishes my emperor long live, long live, long live, long live......"

"His Royal Highness the King of the Valley is offering a side of the Qianshan Seal, wishing the emperor a birthday and a ...... of Tianqi"

"Ministers ...... Dedication"

"Ministers ...... Dedication"

With a burst of congratulatory gifts, a long case in front of the palace was about to be piled up into a hill.

"Sun Chen Zhu Luoyan presented a pair of eight treasure vases for his father Zhu Huajin, wishing the emperor's grandfather a long life......

"The Eight Treasure Vase of the Kiln?"

Hearing this, the important minister looked at the pair of large bottles of celadon on a white background and exclaimed.

The kiln is the official kiln of the 300-year-old Great Wei Dynasty, which is specially customized porcelain for the imperial palace, and very little is produced. Because of the war in the past 300 years, the porcelain of the kiln has very few survivals, and the celadon vase in good condition is a unique product, which can be said to be priceless.

Seeing that there was envy in everyone's eyes, Taizu also nodded frequently, Zhu Luoyan couldn't help but show a smug look on his face, and said in his heart, "Father's thoughts are finally not ......in vain."

"Because of his duties, my father did not dare to leave the territory without permission, but ordered Weichen to offer an auspicious piece, wishing the emperor a long life and Tianqi, and wishing me eternal peace ......in the world."

At this time, Li Tong also knelt down in the main hall, took out a wooden box from his side, and slowly opened it.

Since ancient times, auspiciousness has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, thinking that this is the auspiciousness given by God to the mortal world. In particular, the king of a country, who claims to be the son of heaven, attaches great importance to gifts from heaven.

Although Taizu is wise and martial, he has not been able to get rid of the cliché in this regard.

Hearing that Li Tiangang had an auspicious present, he couldn't help but lean over slightly, wanting to see what it was.

Naturally, all the ministers also looked at it together.

I saw that the wooden box contained an ear of grain more than a foot long, which was different from the ordinary, and it was actually colorful and shining.

This was discovered by the old folk farmers in the south of the Yangtze River and reported to his father. Colorful ears of grain, metaphorically meaning that I have good weather every year, and I have plenty of food and clothing. This is the great merit of our emperor, and the great fortune of my people! ”

After speaking, Li Tong kowtowed to Taizu again and again.

The ministers also knew their own interests, and hurriedly resigned, it was nothing more than the emperor's wisdom and sense of virtue to be able to descend such auspicious and so on.

"Li Qing has a heart......"

Seeing this, Taizu also smiled and nodded again and again.

The suffering of the people in the world is the most concerned thing for Taizu. Regardless of whether this auspicious rui is true or not, it is rare for Li Tiangang to know his mind and think about the people, which also makes him quite gratified.

"This kid is a little cowardly, and a small mouth can speak......"

Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but say in his heart, "It's just that you, Xiangrui, can only fool these people who have never talked about the world." To Ben Hou, it's not bullshit. ”

If modern methods are used, Zhu Ping'an has at least three ways to make such auspicious things.

Liu He was on the side, and every time someone offered a congratulatory gift, he glanced at Zhu Ping'an, and his eyes were full of ridicule. At this time, the auspicious rui that Li Tong took out was full of color, and the smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Zhu Ping'an naturally knew that Liu He was provoking himself, but he was still calm and natural, completely ignoring it.
