After the seat allocation has been decided, it is time to pass the meal and sing the ceremony.

The two links were carried out at the same time, and the people below passed the meal normally, and the ceremonial officials stood beside the emperor, chanting the list of gifts presented by the vassal kings and civil and military nobles.

If the emperor heard that he was interested, he would have someone bring it up to him and take a look. If it is the emperor's dragon face and great joy, he will give a reward on the spot.

Even if you don't give a reward, even just a few comments about the gift from the storeroom, it is enough to make the giver happy.

After all, how many people gave gifts, but they didn't even leave an impression in the emperor's heart?

As the ceremonial officials chanted, the ears of all the officials pricked up.

Even if Gong E and eunuchs brought dishes and drinks one after another, everyone had no intention of tasting them, and they all peeked at the emperor's face to see what kind of gifts he was interested in.

"Song Guogong presents a bronze tripod of the Western Zhou Dynasty!"

"Ying Guogong presents a pair of Ru porcelain vases of the Song Dynasty!"

"The founding prince of the country presents a piece of luminous strange stone with the word "longevity!"

"Bring it on!"

"No!"

Not long after, the gifts of the three were brought up by the ceremonial officer, causing everyone's amazement.

"It's rare to see such a regular bronze tripod, it seems that Song Guogong has not broken the bank this time!"

"The Ru porcelain presented by Ying Guogong is also good, and the Ru porcelain of this kind is rare in the world!"

"The Founding Father, this strange stone...... Tsk, let's make a living. ”

Compared with the praise of the generals, the civilian officials are a little pantothenic.

Lao Zhu is a person who strictly adheres to the rules of the poor and the rich, and for the military generals and nobles, as long as you fight bravely and do not always think about rebellion, you will turn a blind eye to the greedy points. But for the civilian officials, they will find one and punish the other, and they will not tolerate it.

As a result, civil servants are generally poor and cannot afford too good gifts.

"The patina on this bronze tripod is really bright, just like it was just made......"

"This Ru porcelain is really good, but it's a pity that it's not the most noble azure after the rain, and I always feel a little bit worse."

"As for this longevity-shaped strange stone...... It's really too ordinary, and it doesn't deserve this honor from Your Majesty......"

After Zhu Yunxi's "Yiwu Small Commodities Wholesale", everyone is immune to stones.

At first, everyone was quite happy, thinking that they could buy such a miraculous thing at such a low price.

But as more and more people buy it, this thing is not worth much, and the price is a straight jump.

So much so that many people buy strange stones but do not dare to offer them, but only use them as spare parts.

However, this kind of person is generally a big man in the dynasty and wants to win His Majesty's favor by offering a birthday gift.

For the ordinary officials of the Jingshi, they will not pay attention to these. When they gave gifts to the emperor, they originally had the mentality of making up the numbers.

I don't want the emperor to remember, just ask the emperor not to hate himself.

Lao Zhu saw that everyone was chattering and said that it was almost over, so he personally commented on it.

"Lao Song Guogong broke the bank!"

Feng Sheng heard His Majesty's praise, hurriedly got up and left the table to thank him, and recited the lines that Fu Youde had prepared for him.

"Your Majesty is gracious!"

"Weichen received the grace of His Majesty's knowledge, although the minister was full of liver and brain, he couldn't repay it in case!"

Lao Zhu bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and then looked at Fu Youde on the side.

"Ying Guogong also has a heart."

Fu Youde was also like Feng Sheng, and left the table to thank His Majesty for his praise.

"Weichen is grateful for the emperor's grace, and often remembers the five feelings, and can't sleep at night. Accidentally obtained two porcelain vases, deeply felt that their fortune was not enough, fear of violence and destruction of heavenly things, it was His Majesty's Spring and Autumn Festival, just dedicated to His Majesty, and it was also a pity to avoid the pearl secretly cast! ”

Fu Youde's words of gratitude did not seem to be more than Erer on the civilian side, but on the military general's side, he was secretly speechless, and began to make up congratulatory messages one by one, starting a new round of involution.

When Fu Youde returned to his seat, Feng Sheng stretched out his head again.

"Old man, you're not kind!"

"Why are there only a few words made up for me, and it's such a tirade when I come to you!"

Fu Youde glanced at Feng Sheng, full of disdain. @精华\/Shuge·Error-free debut~~ (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 238: The Gift of the Kings

"If I make up too much for you, will your brain remember it?"

"You...... You wait with us, see what we do with you in a while! ”

While the two were chattering, His Majesty the Emperor commented on Chang Sheng's birthday gift.

"This thing is very rare, it's hard for you to think about us!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words came out, all the courtiers were shocked, and the two bigwigs who had just sent the bronze tripod and the Ru porcelain vase exclaimed in their hearts, "!" ”

The two of them sent such valuable things, His Majesty the Emperor just broke the money and had the heart to send it away, and when he came to Chang Sheng's broken stone, he said so many words for the first time, it was almost like saying "I want to raise the founding father"!

When the military generals saw that the founding prince had won His Majesty's praise, except for a few people who felt a little pantothenic acid in their hearts, they were generally sincerely happy for him.

As for Wen Chen, he was silent, secretly thinking about His Majesty's intentions.

Is it an excuse to promote the founding father's family, or do you have the heart to cultivate "orphans" and important ministers?

If it is the latter, then the status of the founding prince will inevitably rise, and I am afraid that the governor's office of the five armies may not be enough, and it is not good that the military department will be handed over to Changsheng for management.

But in this way, the national policy of the imperial court to control military force with literature will be destroyed, and the generals and nobles will no longer be able to be suppressed......

Next came the gifts of the three "high-ranking officials" on the side of the civil officials.

Compared with the luxury on the side of the nobles, the civil officials are much shabby.

Qin Kui and Chen Zongli, each of whom offered a piece of "non-luminous longevity shaped strange stone", the wholesale market shipping price was thirty taels of silver.

Qi Tai was even more shabby, just offering a birthday picture, counting the money for framing, the total cost did not exceed 300 Wen.

Of course, this is only the cost of materials, if you count his reputation as Qitai, it can be worth thirty taels on the market.

Because of the explosion of the Golden Bottle Plum, the price of Qi Tai's calligraphy and calligraphy and painting has skyrocketed several times.

The literati and artists of Jingshi are all proud of collecting Qi Tai's works.

Lao Zhu also commented on the birthday gifts of the three people, especially praising Qi Tai's "style and bones", praising him for being subtle and introverted, and being a model for Wenchen.

The military generals were not touched when they heard this, but Wen Chen secretly exclaimed in his heart, Your Majesty is going to raise Qi Tai, and intends to move his seat up again!

Zhao Mian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is even more like sitting on pins and needles, because Qi Tai is already a waiter, and if he is promoted to another level, he can only be a scholar, which just corresponds to his own position!

It seems that I want to readjust my relationship with Qi Tai, I heard that this guy has a younger brother who is weak and has not yet married, is it to marry a daughter in the past?

When everyone was thinking differently, the ceremonial officials began to sing salutes to the vassal kings.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin offers a large porcelain bowl with a gap!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin presents a piece of the Luminous Hongwu Divine Stone!"

"His Royal Highness King Yan is offering a bloody horse in the Western Regions!"

"His Royal Highness King Zhou offers a good word divine bird Qingluan!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu presents strange stones......"

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi presents strange stones......"

Since His Royal Highness the King of Chu, all the birthday gifts offered by the vassal kings are strange stones of various shapes, and the old Zhu's face is green when he hears it.

Did these guys make an appointment, how did they all use stones to make up the numbers?

Besides, where did they scavenge so many strange stones, and all of them could glow?

However, what interested her the most was the large porcelain bowl offered by Zhu Zhang, the second king of Qin, and he was very curious about who gave this product the courage to dare to sacrifice such a "divine object".

"Bring it all!"

After a while, all the vassal kings presented all the birthday gifts, and Lao Zhu walked down the dragon chair and looked at them in turn, especially focusing on the "big porcelain bowl with a gap" offered by the king of Qin. Error-free updates @

After looking at it, it was determined that this was really just an ordinary coarse porcelain bowl, and Lao Zhu called Zhu Fan out on the spot.

"Second brother, get out of here!"

"We have a big birthday, I didn't expect you to break the bank, but you are making such a big bowl of cold water, do you want to insinuate that we are called Huazi and are not worthy of being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

When Zhu Fan heard this, he fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed to plead guilty.

"Father's anger!"

。 (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 238: The Gift of the Kings

"Erchen swears to the sky, absolutely no such heart!"

"Erchen just didn't have the money to buy a birthday gift, before entering the palace, he snatched this bowl from the beggar on the side of the road, and planned to go out of the palace for a while to ask for food, woo woo woo ......"

Lao Zhu was even more angry when he heard this, he dared to love such a coarse porcelain bowl, or this guy snatched it from someone else!

When Lao Zhu thought of this, he couldn't wait to kick this guy to death. However, when he looked down and saw that this guy was dressed in tatters, like a beggar with flowers, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Emperor, why are you dressed so badly?"

When Zhu Fan heard his father ask, he hurriedly crawled to Lao Zhu's feet, hugged Lao Zhu's thighs and cried.

"Daddy, my son is bitter in his heart, wow woo woo woo ......"

"My son was cheated of more than 200,000 taels of silver, and the family is so poor that he can't even open the pot!"

"Hiss......"

Lao Zhu gasped when he heard this, the prince counted Lu rice and various folded colors but 10,000 taels of silver a year, and this goods were cheated out of more than 20 years at one time?

"Who is so bold as to defraud you of so much money?"

"Erchen...... Erchen doesn't know ......"

"What?"

Lao Zhu was completely furious when he heard this, broke free from King Qin's claws, and kicked out violently. _o_m

"Idiot!"

"I was cheated of so much money, and I didn't even know who I was cheated by, it's a loss of royal face!"

"Second Tiger, the swift Jinyi guard will do his best to investigate this matter, and be sure to arrest all the gangsters!"

The second tiger received the order and promised, but his body did not move.

Because he knows this very clearly, it is indeed as Zhu Fan said, there is no so-called villain at all.

If there is, it is also the greed of King Qin, and it is really no wonder that others.

Zhu Fan saw that his father was angry, and hurriedly defended himself.

"Father, it's not that the son is stupid, it's really that group of demon women who cheated it!"

"They first said that there was a gold mine underground, and fooled Erchen into buying hundreds of ancestral tombs of Diao Min's family, which cost Erchen tens of thousands of taels of silver......"

"Then they fooled their sons, saying that they would build a mountain temple at the foot of the mountain and worship the mountain gods, so that the gold mine could be revealed."

"In order to catch up with the construction period, Erchen bought house beams, bricks and other things from nearby villagers, and spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on Erchen......"

Later, they said that they would put money in the pockets of the gold miners, and each of them would carry a hundred taels of silver, so as to arouse the spirit of gold. However, the workers all ran away the next day, and there was not a single one left......"

"In the end, they said that if you bury gold in the earth, you can draw out the gold veins in the ground......

When Lao Zhu heard this, he basically understood that his stupid son was completely tricked.

It's just that what puzzles him is that the second child is usually a very shrewd person, how can he even be on this kind of believing?

"And then you buried the gold in the ground?"

"Back to my father, my son doesn't want to. But they told their son that if he didn't, all the money he had spent would be wasted! ”

In order not to fall short, the son raised and dismantled in many ways, and scraped together 20,000 taels of gold and buried it in the soil. However, after only one night, the gold was gone, and the mysterious Taoist priest disappeared! ”

"My son is now not only cheated out of all the money in the family, but also owes a lot of foreign debts, my son is bitter, wow, woo woo woo ......"

Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting on the edge of the dragon chair eating and drinking, heard what happened to his stupid second uncle, and immediately understood what was going on.

This guy is trapped, if he can break his wrist as a strong man, he will admit it after buying the cemetery.

But if you have the idea of getting back your capital, you will only fall deeper and deeper until all your family resources are cheated out.

It's just that this gang of liars is interesting, and they have wasted so much energy, not for personal gain, but for the benefit of the surrounding people?

Lao Zhu also understood what was going on, his stupid son was counted to death, one by one, until he was eaten and wiped clean.

It's just that the mysterious Taoist priest mentioned at the end is what's going on, could it be that a certain master is teasing King Qin?

"Second Tiger, bring King Qin to Jinyiwei for detailed questioning, be sure to ask. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 238: The Gift of the Kings

The mysterious Taoist priest was arrested! ”

"No!"

After Lao Zhu sent the Queen of Qin away, he was not in the mood to comment on other gifts, and waved his hand at the ceremonial official.

"We have already seen the intentions of the emperors, so let's send them back to the treasury!"

The others had an indifferent attitude when they heard this, after all, King Jin was not there, except for King Yan and King Zhou, who spent a little money, the rest of them were cheap goods bought for hundreds of taels of silver at the "Yiwu Small Commodities".

But King Zhou was not happy when he heard this, he spent 20,000 taels of silver, if he couldn't even get a compliment from his father, wouldn't he spend so much money in vain?

"Father, you haven't seen the bird!"

"Birds?"

When the civil and military officials sitting below heard this, they all laughed secretly, and said in their hearts His Royal Highness King Zhou was really arrogant when he spoke, and he dared to let His Majesty the Emperor look at the "bird".

King Zhou also reacted quickly, blushing in embarrassment and explained.

"It's the Qingluan Divine Bird that Erchen bought with a huge amount of money, this bird not only has colorful feathers, but it is even more rare to be able to speak!"

"Oh?"

Lao Zhu had already seen the big bird standing on the shelf, but he was not very interested in such a rare thing, and even the sweaty BMW only glanced at it lightly.

It's just because of King Zhou's filial piety that he said patiently.

"In that case, let's show it to us!"

"No!"

King Zhou got up and left the table, came to his own Qingluan Divine Bird and said.

"Congratulations ......"

"Congratulations ......"

"Congratulations!"

Under King Zhou's repeated prompts, the stupid bird finally reacted.

"Congratulations to the bad old man!"

When King Zhou heard this, he was so frightened that he came down in a cold sweat. Error-free update @ The other officials sitting next to him also widened their eyes when they heard this.

If they heard it right, did this mythical bird say "Congratulations to the bad old man?" ”。

Lao Zhu was also surprised and inexplicable, looked at the stupid bird in a daze, looked at King Zhou again, and finally locked his eyes on Zhu Yunxi, who was eating and drinking on the side.

If he's not mistaken, it seems that this guy is the only one who secretly scolded himself for being a bad old man!.
