As Duke Wei, it is really unreasonable to not be here at such a major moment as Chinese New Year's Eve.

At the very least, he has to go through the motions and show it.

Otherwise, what do others think?

What does the emperor think?

With Wei Zhongxian's shrewdness, Li Yuanqing believes that even if he is now under one person and above tens of thousands of people, even in terms of government affairs, he dares to play tricks on the little emperor of the Apocalypse, but in this kind of face-saving matter, he will never dare to act recklessly.

Could it be because of the Hakka ......

But in a moment, Li Yuanqing gave up this idea.

Although the Ke family has a very slippery run-in with him, quite smooth, silky smooth, but both of them are mature men and women, and it is difficult to be like young boys and girls who are just beginning to fall in love.

If the Hakka clan wants to maintain the position of the first person in the inner palace, Gonggong Wei is definitely her strongest and most suitable ally.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanqing secretly glanced around and found that it was not only Gonggong Wei, but also the current master of ceremonies, Bingbi Wang Tiqian, and the henchman Li Chaoqin of the Hakka family.

Including Empress Zhang's side, except for the middle-aged eunuch who grabbed the hairy belly with Li Yuanqing just now, there was no purple-robed eunuch to serve.

None of them are there, which suggests that this may not be an accident.

Perhaps, they have other arrangements?

Just thinking about it, here, the wine and dishes are almost all ready, and the little emperor of the Apocalypse picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone has worked hard this year." Come, this glass of wine, I salute you. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and picked up his glass and gestured to the people around him.

The Hakka family, Empress Zhang, King Xin, and other concubines all smiled and raised their wine glasses, saying compliments to the little emperor of the apocalypse.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse took the lead in drinking the wine in the cup, and his mood seemed to be very happy, he poured another full glass, and said to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "General Li, the second glass of wine, I respect you." Without you generals who are guarding their homes and defending the country on the front line, there would be no Chengping in the world now. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect that on such an occasion, the little emperor of the Apocalypse would actually toast him.

At this time, there was already a little eunuch beside him who handed over a wine glass.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor is very loving, and it is difficult to repay the lowly position. Today, he won the emperor's favor for his humble position, so he had the courage to kowtow to the emperor here for the front-line generals and sons of Dongjiang and Liaodi. ”

After Li Yuanqing finished speaking, he drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, and respectfully kowtowed to the little emperor of the apocalypse, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

The little emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but be happy, "General Li, please hurry up." ”

"Your Majesty." Li Yuanqing smiled and kowtowed to the little emperor of the Apocalypse, then stood up and went to prepare the barbecue.

Next to him, Keshi had just finished his stomach with a glass of wine, and his smile couldn't help but become brighter.

Tonight is a royal family banquet, and to put it more bluntly, this is the family banquet of the little emperor of the Apocalypse.

The first glass of wine is reasonable, but the second glass of wine, it is obvious that the little emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Li Yuanqing.

If Li Yuanqing responds directly, it doesn't seem to be inappropriate, but if this matter spreads, it will definitely be a 'big tree'.

And Li Yuanqing's words connected with the generals of Dongjiang and Liaodi for a while, which became his representative of the sons of Liaodi and accepted the emperor's toast.

It's this simple sentence, which seems to be a millimeter, but in fact it is a thousand miles away.

The Hakka family knows, maybe it won't be tomorrow, and this response will definitely reach the ears of those who need to know.

This dead ghost, it's really ......

Ke Shi thought, his big eyes became more and more moist, and he looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile.

Next to her, Empress Zhang was also thoughtful.

As the ancients said, 'If you take a look, you can know the whole leopard.' ’

This General Li is really clever.

If she could be so clever, how could she be so crushed by the Hakka family that she couldn't hold her head up?

The smile on the face of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was even worse, this General Li was really ......

He didn't know how to describe it.

Anyway, his mood is very happy at this time, and later, he must find General Li to have a drink alone, so that he can talk to him about the affairs of the Northland.

Although Li Yuanqing's words were simple, he was talking about the heart of the little emperor of the Apocalypse, he couldn't help but feel more happy, a hearty smile kept hanging on his face, and he smiled and raised a glass with everyone around him.

At this time, Li Yuanqing's barbecue was almost done, and he hurriedly whispered to the little eunuchs around him to put the vegetables on the plate first, and then carefully cut the meat and put it on the plate, so that the little eunuchs could send it to the little emperor of the Apocalypse and the concubines to enjoy.

In this regard, Li Yuanqing is very experienced.

If you eat meat first, you will only eat more and more greasy, especially if you drink alcohol, the more you drink, the more drunk you become, but on the contrary, eat some vegetables first, clear your stomach, and then eat meat, not only can you better appreciate the deliciousness of barbecue, but the wine will not be immediately intoxicating, to some extent, it can even effectively increase the amount of alcohol.

The little eunuchs got Li Yuanqing's instructions, and hurriedly served the barbecue and vegetables to everyone present, and carefully recounted Li Yuanqing's instructions.

Everyone can't help but be a little curious, why is there such a delicacy?

Li Yuanqing explained this reason with a smile, and everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Ke Shi smiled: "General Li, is there really such a statement?" How did Hongu not know? ”

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Mrs. Hui, tonight is a big day, according to the humble practice, you can try it, will you drink more than usual." ”

Hakka couldn't help but giggle, "Really? General Li, is this palace really going to try? ”

As she spoke, she looked at the little emperor of the Apocalypse with a smile, "Come, your majesty, let's try it." ”

The little emperor of the Apocalypse also laughed, "Naturally. I'm going to try it too. But, General Lee, you have to take the lead. ”

The hot pot has been prepared here, and in the end, it was used to clear the mouth, the emperor said so, how could Li Yuanqing dare to refuse?

Hurriedly came to his seat and drank with them.

Perhaps in order to take care of many concubines, the degree of this wine is not high, with Li Yuanqing's mass, it is almost like drinking water.

There are many, and the atmosphere in the hall is getting more and more enthusiastic.

After going through the formal process here, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, couldn't sit still in his seat, and came directly to Li Yuanqing's side, sat with Li Yuanqing, and asked Li Yuanqing about the affairs of the north.

Li Yuanqing carefully narrated them one by one, which made Zhu Youzhen, a little kid, fascinated.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse was also busy with his wife at this time, and Xing Chongchong also came to Li Yuanqing and Zhu Youzhen's side, and the three of them talked and laughed and drank together, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Although this is a bit unruly, but in this dynasty, there seem to be a lot of unruly things, at this time, in this deep palace, who dares to say more?

Li Yuanqing also deliberately showed off, not only explained the Houjin Jurchen in detail to the current emperor and the future emperor, but even the old Maozi further north also stayed a little longer, which made the two of them more interested.

Emperors, especially young emperors, who don't want to expand their territory?

At this time, in the vast Siberian region, Lao Maozi's claws have not yet reached too deep here, and everyone still has a chance.

And the geographical advantage, the Ming side is also more convenient than Moscow.

The more the three of them talked, the more excited they became, the more they drank the wine, and the little emperor of the apocalypse also forgot about the hangover and headache the day before yesterday, just for today's pleasure.

At this time, Li Chaoqin walked in from the outside quickly, and when he saw the three of them like this, he couldn't help but be stunned, but after a while, he also reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward to report to the little emperor of the Apocalypse: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid over there have walked again, and there is no big problem." But Father-in-law Wei and Father-in-law Wang seem to be in some trouble. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly lowered his head and carefully examined the face of the little emperor of the Apocalypse.

The little emperor's smile suddenly startled, and he waved his hand a little impatiently: "Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, what needs do they have, try to meet them, don't be too harsh." You send someone to tell Wei Zhongxian and them, here, it doesn't matter if they come over later. ”

"Yes. The slave obeys. Li Chaoqin hurriedly retreated cautiously.

The Little Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled, "General Li, where did we just go?" ”

Li Yuanqing also smiled busily, "Your Majesty, we just talked about the winter in Siberia. ”

"Yes, General Li, tell me and my brother how terrible the Siberian winter is?"

Zhu Youzhen's eyes also widened, his ears pricked up, and he looked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled and came casually.

While speaking, Li Yuanqing's mind was spinning rapidly, Gonggong Wei did not fall out of favor, but his task tonight did not seem to be pleasing to him, and there were definitely a lot of things to appease the old ladies left by Master Wanli and Grandmaster Guang.

But at this time, there seemed to be no more suitable person in the palace than him.

Time passed quietly, and soon, it was almost 10 o'clock, and the wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier.

At this time, Li Chaoqin and a middle-aged eunuch walked over from outside, and Li Chaoqin hurriedly smiled: "Your Majesty, the fireworks are ready, do you want to release them now, or wait a while?" ”

The Chinese nation, every New Year's festival, has the tradition of setting off fireworks and firecrackers.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, gunpowder technology was already quite developed, especially in this regard.

At this time, the three of them drank a lot of wine, and the Hakka family, Empress Zhang, and the concubines also drank some.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse was obviously very interested in this, and said with a smile: "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, stay for a while, but it will be difficult to deal with, let's go, let's go and see the fireworks now." ”

"Yes."

The middle-aged eunuch hurriedly went out to prepare, while Li Chaoqin went to inform the concubines behind.

After a short time, the group walked together to the entrance of the temple.

A lot of fireworks and firecrackers have been prepared outside, including a few made by the little emperor of the Apocalypse.

He was in high spirits, and when he gave an order, a little eunuch suddenly went to light the fireworks.

In a moment, 'popping', accompanied by rows of firelight rushed into the sky, and after a while, the 'crackling' fireworks burst into the sky against the wind and snow, colorful, various shapes, quite gorgeous and wonderful.

There are many female dependents around, and many concubines clapped their hands happily.

At this time, Li Yuanqing's status is low, so naturally he can't squeeze forward, which affects the sight of the emperor and the concubines, he hid in the back side with interest, anyway, with his height, these people in front of him can't make an obstacle to him at all, and he can see it very clearly.

Seeing the light in the sky constantly changing, and even changing shapes, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Gunpowder, this kind of big killing weapon, has actually become a plaything in the hands of the Chinese nation, but in the hands of the white-haired ghosts of the same era at this time, it is gradually evolving into an advanced killing weapon.

I have to say, this is really a tragedy.

At this time, there was a familiar fragrant wind around Li Yuanqing, and he hurriedly looked up, but saw the Ke family looking at him with a smile.

Li Yuanqing's pupils were stunned, a little frightened, he couldn't imagine that the Hakka family was so bold and so many people dared to face him.

At this time, although the sound of fireworks and firecrackers was very loud, and everyone's eyes were on it, it was impossible for others not to notice when the Hakka came over.

But the Hakka family didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Why is General Li secretly hiding behind here?" Can you see fireworks here? ”

Looking at the Hakka family's calmness, Li Yuanqing also reacted at once, at this time, he was secretive, but fell into the inferiority, which made people pay more attention, and couldn't help but admire the Hakka family's thoughtfulness, and said with a busy smile: "Mrs. Hui, she is tall and lowly, and she can also see it here." ”

Ke Shi smiled, and suddenly said a few words to Li Yuanqing with his mouth.

Li Yuanqing's scalp couldn't help but feel numb, but then, he couldn't help but praise the Hakka family's wit, and gestured to her with his eyes, he understood, and said with a smile: "Madam, it's windy here, you better go over there to see it more clearly." ”

With a smile, Shi Shiran walked to the side of the little emperor of the apocalypse, and no one around noticed this detail.

Li Yuanqing also took advantage of the situation to lean forward and looked at the fireworks in the sky.

The fireworks are gorgeous and colorful, the level is already quite superb, and at this time there is a foil of wind and snow, which is more colorful and gorgeous.

Suddenly, Li Yuanqing found that his angle was just at the same level as Empress Zhang who was not far away.

Empress Zhang was raising her head and looking at the sky, revealing a swan's version of her white and smooth neck.

Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he hurriedly staggered his gaze.

But at this moment, maybe the little eunuch was careless, or maybe the quality of the fireworks did not pass, I saw a flash of fire in front of me, and a fireball the size of an egg rushed towards the crowd.
