When Shi Shi heard this, he was anxious and shouted, "Father! I don't think the fifth brother will do such a foolish thing, there must be some reason for it, my father should listen to Shi Min finish speaking. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Shi Hu glanced at Shi Shi angrily, and then asked Shi Min: "I ask you, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Shi Min was not in a hurry, raised his head, knelt on the ground and said to Shi Hu: "Back to Your Majesty, I have something to say!" ”

"You say! I can't tell one, two, three, four, five! I will not spare you father and son! Shi Hu pointed at Shi Min fiercely and scolded, saliva squirting out.

Shi Min said righteously: "The soil and bowl of water offered by my father are not regarded as child's play at the end of the year, on the contrary, my father attaches great importance to this festival. This piece of soil symbolizes the territory of the world, and a glass of water represents the five lakes and the four seas. There is a way under the world, which is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Today, my father and I can give His Majesty and the ancestors only a handful of soil and a bowl of water, and in other days, my father and I will definitely include the whole world in the territory of Zhao! Let all the people in the world bow down to Your Majesty. Shi Min finished speaking, bowed his head and kowtowed.

Everyone present was stunned, because Shi Min's answer was too perfect and witty.

Shi Hu also stood there motionless, the expression on his face was indescribable.

Finally, the crowd shouted, "Congratulations to the Emperor!" Xihuahou and his son are loyal and commendable! It's really a great fortune for my Zhao country! ”

Shi Min lowered his head and secretly looked back, and sure enough, it was Shi Shi.

"What a Putian, it is not the king's land! What a land coast, it is not the king's minister! Shi Hu praised loudly, helped Shi Min who was kneeling on the ground up, and said, "Good boy, I blamed you just now!" You and your father are well-intentioned and loyal! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment! This is the duty of a courtier! Shi Min finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"The hour has come, take the stage to worship!" The sorcerer shouted from the altar.

The sacrifice lasted until about three quarters. Shi Min's stomach was already "cooing", and when he left the sacrificial place, Shi Min led the horse and was about to leave, when he was suddenly stopped: "Xiao Min! Wait a minute! ”

Shi Min turned around, and when he saw that it was King Ning Shi Jian, he saluted and greeted: "His Royal Highness King Ning." ”

Shi Jian stepped forward and asked, "I heard that your father was injured, I don't know what is happening now?" Are you better? ”

Shi Min replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Xie Ning is concerned, my father suffered a flesh wound, and he can rest at home for a period of time, and he has been getting better recently." ”

"That's fine, you can greet your father on my behalf, and I'll visit him in the New Year." King Ning smiled and gently patted Shi Min's shoulder.

Shi Min saluted again and said, "Your Highness Xie, my nephew will definitely convey His Highness's greetings to my father." ”

Ning Wang Shijian nodded and said, "In a blink of an eye, you have grown so big, you are really the same as your father back then. ”

"Your Royal Highness has won the award, by the way, the day before yesterday, my nephew entered the palace and met Concubine Zheng Niangniang, Niangniang's foot seems to be injured, Your Highness has time to go into the palace to see Niangniang."

When King Ning heard that his mother was injured, he asked anxiously, "How could the mother be injured?" Is it serious? ”

Shi Min regretted that he was too talkative, because Ning Wang Shi Jian was a well-known filial son, and he had no choice but to speak, so he could only say: "It should be fine, it's just that I accidentally sprained it." ”

Shi Jian's face softened slightly, and he said to Shi Min, "Thank you for telling me to my nephew." ”

"Your Highness is polite, the nephew will leave first." Shi Min smiled slightly and saluted to leave.

Shi Jian smiled and nodded.

After the festival, Shi Hu was going to have a family banquet in Shenghe Hall that night, because Shi Zhan was injured and it was inconvenient to participate, Shi Min used the excuse that he needed to go back to accompany his father, and he did not go to the palace to participate in this banquet.

Chinese New Year's Eve is a festival for the Han people, and after the Qiang people entered the Central Plains, some of them also followed the customs of the Han people. Shi Min led the horse through the streets of Yecheng, and at this time, each household was already lit up, which was completely festive.

Shi Min was also asking himself deeply in his heart at this time, if one day, when he was asked to make a choice between the Han and Hu people, how would he choose. Will he really have the courage or ruthlessness to overthrow this court? He didn't know that it was too difficult to choose.

There was a festive atmosphere in Xihuahou's Mansion, Mama Li and Mama Gu had been busy with the evening meals since the morning, and Qin Wan had naturally been helping in the kitchen. Xu San was not idle, and led people to clean up the entire Hou Mansion inside and out, Qin Huaishan naturally accompanied Shi Zhan to chat, and the two of them were not bored at all.

When Shi Min returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already past the time of Shen, and at this time, the sound of firecrackers sounded everywhere in Yecheng.

Shi Min handed over the horse to his subordinates and walked straight to the front hall, because the annual dinner party was in the front hall.

"Yo! Childe, you're back! It's waiting for you! Mama Li walked in with a lot of food, and when she saw the front hall of Shi Min Station, she shouted.

"Mama Li, what did you do delicious today? I'm hungry enough to eat a cow now! Shi Min touched his stomach and asked.

Mama Li was busy putting the dishes in her hand on a few tables, and replied: "Don't worry, what you made today is what you love to eat!" ”

"I knew that Mama Li was the best at cooking! I love what you make! Shi Min said with a smile.

Mama Li stopped what she was doing and said to Shi Min mysteriously: "Childe, this year is different from previous years, half of this year's meal is not made by me." ”

"You didn't do it? That was done by Gu's mother? Shi Min was a little puzzled.

"If your mother Gu could make such a good meal, I would have been able to save some snacks a long time ago, this is the credit of Miss Qin! You stupid boy! Mama Li had already put the dishes on the table, walked to Shi Min's side, and poked Shi Min's head with affection.

Shi Min smirked and said, "That's right! Miss Qin can also cook, and the cakes she made that time were delicious. ”

Li Ma looked at Shi Min, pursed her mouth and smiled, and without speaking, she walked out of the front hall, suddenly turned around, and said to Shi Min: "You go and call the general to come out for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I asked Xu San to inform everyone to come and eat." ”

"Huh!" Shi Min nodded, and also walked out of the front hall, walking towards Shi Zhan's house.

Halfway through, seeing that Qin Huaishan had already helped Shi Zhan out, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Father, sir, the child is trying to go to your father to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together." ”

Shi Zhan smiled and said: "I guess you're coming back soon, so I came out with Mr., I didn't expect you to come over, let's go, let's go to the front hall together." ”

"Childe, what's going on? Today's ritual, the old man's suggestion is right, right? Qin Huaishan asked on the side.

Shi Min replied with some excitement: "At first, Your Majesty's face was dark, and I was very angry, but later according to what my husband taught me, I told Your Majesty again, and sure enough, Your Majesty turned his anger into joy and praised my father and me greatly." ”

"Mr. is like a god, which makes me admire him very much." Shi Zhan said.

Qin Huaishan smiled: "The general has won the award, how can I be regarded as a god, just a little clever, but it is already very good to achieve such an effect." ”

"Thanks to the good plan of the gentleman this time." Shi Min also praised Qin Huaishan on the side.

"The general and the son treat my father and daughter well, I just used my mouth to help you come up with ideas, it's not a big deal, and I can't eat dry food in the house every day." Shi Zhan smiled and patted Qin Huaishan's shoulder.

"By the way, father, today's festival is over, and the child met King Ning."

"Oh? Did he tell you anything? ”

"I didn't say anything, I just greeted you about your physical condition and said that I would come to visit you after the year."

"This King Ning has always been low-key, he has no dealings with me, and he has never been favored by His Majesty, but he is very filial to his mother."

"Speaking of this, the day before yesterday, the child entered the palace and happened to meet Concubine Zheng, but I didn't expect that she was a dignified third-class imperial concubine, and she didn't even take her seriously as the chief eunuch of the inner court in the palace." Shi Min said with some regret.

"Oh? What do you see? Why? Shi Zhan asked.

"It's not a big deal, a palace maid under Concubine Zheng accidentally knocked over the rouge sent to Concubine Liu by Lord Huang, saying that it was something brought by a merchant from the Western Regions, and it was very expensive. Huang Zhusi wanted to pull the palace maid to Huilan Palace to confess the crime, but Concubine Zheng didn't agree, so she pulled up with Huang Zhusi, and Huang Zhusi also pushed down Concubine Zheng's mother, I think that Concubine Zheng's feet must have been twisted. ”

"Then you went to help Concubine Zheng, right?"

Shi Min scratched his head and replied a little embarrassedly: "I was guessed by my father again." ”
