"Wechen see the saint, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

In the Taiji Hall, the voices of all civil and military officials came out of the air neatly and uniformly, and at the same time, they bowed respectfully and saluted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin smiled and nodded all the way, until he sat on the Jinluan Palace, then he looked at the civil and military officials in the Taiji Palace, waved his hand and said, "All Aiqing are exempt, all sit down." ”

"Thank you, Holy Lord." After the civil and military officials thanked one after another, they sat down.

Li Shimin didn't say much, at this time, there was already a father-in-law who had instructed the female officials to let thousands of song and dance palace ladies of the Royal Song and Dance Troupe appear in heavy makeup and powder, and performed the "Wu Dance" in the Taiji Palace.

The music is melodious and festive, and the dance is lively and joyful.

The annual and unprecedented grand "farewell to the old and welcome the new" banquet kicked off in the Taiji Hall.

"Brother Boan, come, let's go." At this moment, Cheng Chumo, while enjoying the joyful singing and dancing, had already forgotten the previous unhappiness in his heart, and touched Li Yi's wine cup with a face full of enjoyment.

"Brother Chumo, please." Li Yi smiled and nodded in response, and then drank it all together with Cheng Chumo.

It's just that the moment the pepper and cypress wine was in his mouth, Li Yi felt that his throat was spicy, and the smell of pepper and cypress wine was so thick and smoky that he almost didn't let Li Yi spit out the entrance of the mouth.

"How can this be considered wine?" Li Yi frowned slightly, and quickly put down the wine cup, completely in no mood to drink it anymore.

Li Yi, who was already accustomed to the taste of Wuliangye, drank pepper and cypress wine again at this time, but he couldn't swallow it and lost the mood to taste it.

But fortunately, some of the desserts on the table tasted barely okay.

Not long after the time passed, some officials had already stepped forward and congratulated Li Shimin one after another.

From time to time, there are many voices of "gold, silver, jewelry, jade and jade", coming from the mouth of the father-in-law, although everyone does not give much, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty add up, and each person has a lot of quantity.

"Brother Bo'an, what gift do you plan to give to the saint to celebrate the New Year?" Cheng Chumo suddenly turned his head and asked Li Yi casually with a smile.

Li Yi was slightly stunned, stared at Cheng Chumo with a puzzled expression, and said, "I am not prepared." ”

"What do you say? You're not ready to give a gift? Cheng Chumo was taken aback on the spot.

But seeing that because of his voice, which attracted the attention of the surrounding officials, Cheng Chumo hurriedly lowered his voice, leaned close to Li Yi's ear, and asked softly, "Brother Bo'an, are you really ...... Not prepared at all? ”

"Not really." Li Yi shook his head, glanced at Li Jing's location, and then came back to his senses and said puzzledly, "Isn't my father ready to have a share?" ”

"......" Cheng Chumo looked at Li Yi with a dumbfounded face and a speechless expression on his face.

"Brother Bo'an, you are this." While speaking, Cheng Chumo gave Li Yi a thumbs up, grinned the corners of his mouth several times, and then suddenly said, "The gift from the father-in-law, it is a gift from the father-in-law, and I ask you, what official position are you now?" ”

"Physician of the Tai Hospital?" Li Yi blinked, and continued, "Or ...... The secretary of the secretary of the province? ”

"Isn't that the end of it!"

Cheng Chumo glanced at Li Yi angrily, and then explained to Li Yi seriously: "The gift from the father-in-law, it is the gift from the father-in-law, and the gift you give is your gift." Now, you are a dignified five-grade official, if you don't give gifts to the saint to celebrate the New Year, won't you be laughed at by the officials of the Manchu Dynasty? ”

"......" Li Yi felt that Cheng Chumo's explanation was not unreasonable.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yi suddenly asked, "Brother Chu Mo, what gift did you prepare for the saint?" ”

"Brother Bo'an, do you think so-and-so is lying to you? What about trust between people? Cheng Chumo looked at Li Yi, decisively took out a brocade box from his sleeve, placed it in front of Li Yi, and said casually, "Look for yourself." ”

Li Yi glanced at Cheng Chumo with a smile, and then opened the brocade box and found a pair of jasper jade horses lying inside.

And this pair of jade horses still presents a majestic momentum of "galloping and flying, drunk and lying on the battlefield".

At a glance, it is clear that this pair of jade and jade horses represents the beautiful implication of Cheng Chumo's willingness to gallop on the battlefield for the saint and protect the Tang Dynasty.

The gift of giving the saint in the New Year is completely handy, and it looks atmospheric, and it will definitely be favored by the saint.

"Good stuff!" Li Yi nodded and said with a smile.

"Hey, huh? I think so, too! Cheng Chu grinned silently and raised his eyebrows happily.

However, when he turned to think that Li Yi had not prepared a gift for the saint, Cheng Chumo's mood suddenly became a little unhappy.

"Brother Boan." After two seconds of silence, Cheng Chu whispered softly in Li Yi's ear and suggested, "Or...... You go to your father-in-law first to see if your father-in-law has prepared it for you? Otherwise, what will you do later? ”

"That's right!" Li Yi nodded, then got up and walked towards Li Jing.

At the same time, the officials who had been scheming and deliberately sitting next to Li Yi and Cheng Chumo, several of whom were officials of the big families, were suddenly overjoyed when they heard that Li Yi had not prepared a gift for the saint.

They were worried that they couldn't find an excuse to deal with Li Yi, but they didn't expect that in such a short period of time, they would successfully catch Li Yi's 'handle'.

"Okay, Li Bo'an, this kid, is really too young to understand the affairs of officialdom, and he entered the palace to celebrate the New Year to the saint, but he didn't bring gifts to the saint?"

"It's a great sin!"

"We have to report this to the head of the family quickly!"

"Yes, today is a good opportunity for revenge!"

Thinking about it, those officials quickly got up, hurriedly walked towards the Zheng family and other officials of the family, and immediately told them all about the matter.

Zheng Mingshu, an official of the Zheng family, was full of surprise when he heard the news, and looked at the official who looked at the return, and asked solemnly: "Is this serious?" ”

"Seriously!" The official who returned nodded with an honest smile, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where Li Yi was walking, and said, "Look, the head of the family, that kid Li Bo'an, is going to ask his father at the moment to see if he has prepared a gift for him." ”

Zheng Mingshu turned his head to look, and sure enough, as he said, his face immediately showed a look of great joy.

Although before this, his old friend Wang Yan of the Wang family had already proposed a great idea to deal with Li Yi with him, but it would be necessary to wait until the beginning of spring next year before he could deal with Li Yi.

Right now, now that such a great opportunity has appeared, he can't wait.

"Brother Wang, let's play a play together, how about it?" Zheng Mingshu stared at Wang Yan with a smile and proposed.

"That's fine." Wang Yan grinned, raised his lamp and drank with Zheng Mingshu.

Due to the distance between the seats between Li Yi and Li Jing, they are far apart, after all, one is the prince of the country, and the other is the secretary of the province, just when Li Yi came to Li Jing's side, Zheng Mingshu immediately stood up from his seat.

"Colleagues, we have already sent gifts to the saint to celebrate, I don't know if you colleagues, do you want to open your eyes and see what gifts they give to the saint to celebrate?" Zheng Mingshu said loudly, and the voice spread to the ears of the surrounding officials in an instant.

Almost everyone around Zheng Mingshu was from a big family, and as soon as this remark came out, it immediately received a response from everyone.

"That's great!" The officials of the rest of the family immediately smiled and said in unison, but their eyes invariably looked at Li Yi.

There is no need for anyone to remind them, they also know who Zheng Mingshu is referring to by this remark.

After all, at this moment, Li Yi has become a big trouble in the hearts of their "big families"!

But seeing that Li Yi was standing up at the moment, and almost all of them were sitting on their seats, Wang Yan smiled slightly, and suddenly said, "Isn't this Li Micheng?" Could it be ...... Li Micheng is planning to give gifts to the saint to celebrate the beginning of the new year? ”

"Haha!" Zheng Mingshu immediately laughed and said, "It seems that Li Micheng can't wait to give gifts to the saint, I don't know Li Micheng, but what gift do you plan to give to the saint?" Why don't you take it out and let someone open their eyes by the way? ”

"That's it!" Another official of the big family also made a noise, and asked with a smile, "Li Micheng, why don't you take it out and let someone take a look?" ”

Li Yi, who had not yet walked to Li Jing's side, suddenly heard this harsh voice, all of which were coming towards him, and his face couldn't help but be slightly angry.

You don't have to think about it to know that at this time, someone is either angry with him, or someone who has an enemy and wants to retaliate against him.

"Huh." Li Yi sneered, turned around slowly, glanced at the group of family officials who were coaxing, and suddenly found that it was indeed as he had guessed in his heart.

These so-called family officials are all waiting to see his good show.

"What gift does a certain saint give to celebrate, it has nothing to do with your fart! It's your turn to bite your tongue and chew the roots? Eating wine and drinking meat, can't stop your stinky mouth? Li Yi sneered coldly, then turned around and walked directly towards Li Jing, completely ignoring them.

Since they hate themselves so much, and they are so crowded in public, it is only a matter of time before they fall out with the big family anyway, and Li Yi has no need to show mercy to them.

What's more, now Li Yi is completely on Li Shimin's side, hostile to the family, which is unavoidable.

But as soon as Li Yi's words came out, the faces of all the officials of the family immediately turned cold as if they had been beaten by a large bucket of shaved ice, and their faces were very dark and ugly, like ink.

They never expected that Li Yi would dare to fight back in public, completely tearing his face.

"Li Micheng!" Zheng Mingshu shouted, this cold voice immediately attracted Li Shimin's attention, and his eyes condensed with a 'whoosh'.

In the Taiji Hall, the eyes of almost all the officials were also attracted by Zheng Mingshu's shout, and they all looked at Li Yi, Zheng Mingshu and the others.

"Li Micheng." Zheng Mingshu stood up, although the anger in his heart was spreading like fire, his face was still smiling, and he said with a knife hidden in his smile, "Should you be...... Didn't prepare a gift for the saints? Is this planning to find Guogong now and get a New Year's gift now? ”

Zheng Mingshu's voice coaxed into Li Yi's ears.

At the same time, the eyes of the people in the entire hall also fell on Li Yi, making it difficult for Li Yi to ride a horse for a while.
