It was very lively outside, but inside the Dragon Garden Palace, Zhao Zhi was sitting there, holding a book in his hand, watching there quietly.

"Your Majesty, it's so lively outside, why don't you go out...."

Mu Gong whispered on the side, he is indeed very puzzled, since Zhao Zhi ascended the throne, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, a wine banquet will be set up in the palace, as long as it is royal blood, or has an in-law relationship with the royal family, if you want to come, you can come and spend Chinese New Year's Eve with Zhao Zhi.

Zhao Zhi shook his head, put down the book in his hand, and sighed: "Although Shu was poor in the early years, but every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the happiest day, there were not many people, but it was much more lively than in the palace, and Shu was with those people outside, in fact, there was not the slightest joy." ”

The shepherd was stunned and said, "Then Your Majesty will still have it every year..."

"The human heart."

Zhao Zhi said lightly: "If you think about it carefully, since I ascended the throne, it has been more than twenty years now, and what has changed in the annual Chinese New Year's Eve banquet?" ”

Mu Gong frowned and pondered, after a long time, there was a sudden look of shock on his face, in the years when Zhao Zhi had just ascended the throne, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, very few imperial relatives came, many people were excused, very deserted, although as Zhao Zhi ascended the throne for longer and longer, the annual Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the number of people who came slowly increased, but at most, it was only more than a hundred people, after Zhao Zhi's efforts for nearly ten years, the imperial court finally recovered some vitality from the Hebei fiasco during the Pingzong period.

In the tenth year of Guangyuan, Zhao Zhi has accumulated enough capital to do some big moves, so he rebuilt the Sixteen Guards of the Forbidden Army, recruited nearly 200,000 soldiers, and decisively sent troops to Hedong that year, attacking the unruly Jinyang who has always been disrespectful to the imperial court, and the unruly Jinyang stayed behind to guard Wang Kuichi, the war went extremely smoothly, less than a month, it was successfully exterminated Wang Kuichi, and defeated Sizhou and Jingzhou, which were openly supporting the imperial court, but in fact secretly harboring ghosts, that is, in this year, Li Zhong once again broke the Mobei Hu clan and destroyed more than 100,000 enemies. stabilized the precarious situation in Anbei, and because of this, he was named the prince by Zhao Zhi, and the last time the opposite sex was named a prince, it was back more than 200 years ago.

Guangyuan ten years, is Zhao Zhi's life, the most important year, several major events that happened this year, greatly revitalized the prestige of the central court of the Great Jin Dynasty, the world's major festivals are shocked, the attitude towards the court, is no longer arrogant and rude, but there are many.... Respectful.

That is, from this year, the Chinese New Year's Eve feast in the palace began to become extremely lively.......

The shepherd bowed down and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Zhao Zhi didn't seem to hear Mu Gong's words, but there was a trace of reminiscence on his face, he thought of his childhood, he grew up eating a hundred family meals, he was very poor at that time, but he was very happy, carefree, and between people, he was so sincere and loved each other.

Lezhi County, Puzhou, Jiannan Province, which has raised Zhao Zhi for more than ten years, has given him many good memories, an innocent and inseparable memory, and the first thing Zhao Zhi did after ascending the throne was to issue an edict, saying that there is a generation of me, and if you don't accept a penny or a grain of rice in Lezhi County, you will be exempted from taxes.

Looking back on the decades after Fengjing, along the way, there were deceits, power struggles, and life and death changes, until finally reached the pinnacle of power, and became the biggest winner of this power game, but... At this moment, thinking back on the ups and downs of the past few decades, Zhao Zhi's last thought just turned into a word... Tired.

Waking up from his contemplation, Zhao Zhi leaned back slightly, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and sighed softly: "I, I sit in the world, but how many real relatives are there?" ”

The shepherd said in a low voice: "Under the Putian, it is not the king's land. His Majesty is the father of the world, and all the people in the Great Jin Dynasty are His Majesty's people and relatives. ”

"Don't tell me these polite words."

"Your Majesty at least has Concubine Li, His Royal Highness King Qi, and the child of the dog is also very good, in him, the old slave can't see those hypocrisy and cunning."

Dogs?

Zhao Zhi opened his eyes, sat up straight, and said lightly: "This kid is getting bolder and bolder, and he dares to play tricks with me." ”

Mu Gong lowered his head and stopped talking, although he had a good sense of Li Xun and often said good things to Zhao Zhi in front of him, but at this time, he couldn't say anything, and saying it would only backfire.

"Get out!"

Zhao Zhi stood up and walked outside.

Outside, most people have already found a seat and sat down one by one, Li Xun and Zhao Yue came a little late, from Zhao Yue's smiling face, it can be seen that this encounter with Li Xun made his mood suddenly much better.

Separated from Zhao Yue, Li Xun began to look for his father Li Mancang.

"Old man, you are also a marquis now, what are you doing sitting in such a remote place?"

After looking for a while, I finally found Li Mancang at the outermost part of the banquet, on the edge.

Li Mancang pulled his son to sit down, and then whispered: "I don't have any credit for the country, but I was named a marquis, I don't know how many people are talking behind my back, I'm not low-key, I'm afraid I'm going to be pointed at my nose and scolded." ”

Li Xun said: "Don't worry, old man, with your son, you won't let people bully you." ”

Li Mancang frowned, and scolded: "You kid, don't think that if you make a little contribution, your tail will be able to go to the sky, the higher your official position, the more low-key you must be, and if you stand unsteadily, a gust of wind can blow you down." ”

Li Xun looked at Li Mancang with some surprise: "Old man, I didn't expect you to have this kind of knowledge?" ”

Li Mancang shook his head: "I haven't read a book, and I don't know a few big words, but I still understand some truths." ”

"Old man, don't worry, my son is not such a flamboyant person."

Li Xun nodded and patted Li Mancang on the shoulder.

...........

As the time approached, the Lord finally arrived.

Zhao Zhi arrived, sat down at the top, and everyone stood up, bowed and shouted long live.

Zhao Zhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of the Great Celebration, I am waiting for my own family, there is no need for these ordinary etiquette." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone sat down at this time, talking and laughing, chatting and joking with the left and right, all seemed relaxed, just like Zhao Zhi said, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the people who come here are all relatives of the imperial family, all of them are their own family, there is no need for so much etiquette, you can relax to drink and laugh.

"Your Majesty, the hour has come, can we begin?"

A eunuch approached, bowed and said.

Zhao Zhi nodded: "Let's start!" ”

"Your Majesty has an order, and the banquet has officially begun."

After receiving the order, the eunuch turned around, raised his head slightly, and shouted loudly.

Zhong Lezhi sounded, and a group of dozens of women, dressed in gorgeous costumes, trotted into the center of the banquet and began to dance.... Everyone has a smile on their faces, but who knows what it means?
