Because of Wang Wei's birthday, the Beijing division was unusually lively. Especially after the emperor approved, the number of people who came to congratulate each other was even greater.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the palace is full of friends, jubilant, and the gift box is hung from the door, piled up into a small hill.

The high boys in front of the door shouted one after another, and they were basically dignitaries in the court.

In the past, even if there were some people who had some disagreements, they all had to come this time, after all, the emperor had opened his mouth.

So Zhang Xuan, Wang Qiong, Wang Hua, He Jian, Zhang Zilin, Gu Zuo, Zhao Shen, Xing Guan, Gu Renyi, Jin Gui...... It can be said that almost all the officials in Beijing have arrived.

Wang Wei will be sixty-eight years old after this birthday, which can be regarded as a high life.

In addition, he has four sons and five daughters, and it is a miracle that they can all survive in this era of low fertility.

The five daughters are not mentioned for the time being, it is not good for women to show up after all.

The four sons, Wang Yanzhe, Wang Yansu, Wang Yanling, and Wang Yanzhao, all grew up, and accompanied their father to welcome guests inside and out, and they were very busy.

It's a pity that he is not as good as Yang Tinghe, he doesn't have a son who can read, what about these few, either he is enyin and martial arts, or he is still studying when he is young, in short, he is not so beautiful.

Speaking of Yang Tinghe, Wang Wei felt a little unbeautiful in his heart tonight, and he had been a colleague for many years, and he had assisted himself in the cabinet for a few years, but this scene was missing.

It can only be said that the world cannot be perfect.

However, he always remembered in his heart that he had promised to say that he was invited in front of the emperor, but he had been waiting for this opportunity.

"Elder Wangge, congratulations!"

Wang Wei's hair was all white, and there was some cloudiness in his eyes, which were all signs of old age, but his spirit was not bad, and he replied with a smile: "Uncle Dazong is polite, please inside, please inside." ”

"Elder Wangge!" The so-called great uncle is Wang Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. There was a man behind him, and he was much younger when he shouted.

"Oh, it turned out to be a new uncle."

Wang Shouren thinks that Wang Wei is the foundation, and he has been taught many times over the years, so he naturally does not dare to be high, "Wang Ge Lao calls it like this, the younger generation can't afford it, it's better to call Bo'an." ”

Wang Hua also added, "You and I are the same generation, and he is naturally a junior." ”

"Haha, okay, Bo Anxian's nephew, please."

Tonight, the red carpet in the palace is everywhere, the lanterns are hanging high, and the four princes in the palace are also festive, each of them is seated in front of the guests, and occasionally chatting with someone, it is a loud laugh.

even invited an outside opera troupe to play on stage and sing opera to add to the atmosphere.

When a number of people arrived, three or two of them got together and said something merry.

When the country was prosperous, although the Quartet was small, as soon as the army arrived, it was immediately wiped out, and the national strength was not consumed too much. At this time, the DPRK and China should have a prosperous era.

Wang Wei was dizzy from the noise in the crowd, but when he saw a happy scene, he suddenly woke up a little to why the Son of Heaven, who didn't even care much about his own festival, suddenly took the initiative to mention his birthday 20 days ago.

All this is what he wants.

killed a circle of people in Jiangnan, tied up the princes of Ning Fan to Beijing, originally said that Liu Jin was only used for Jiangnan affairs, but his face changed and he was thrown to Jiangxi, which frightened the officials and gentry in Jiangxi......

In such a turbulent situation,

His mansion, the head of the cabinet, is indeed full of talents and lively.

The officialdom of the Beijing division was harmonious, and when this banquet began, I don't know how many words and even poems praising the prosperity of the Ming monarch were circulated.

Not to mention whitewashing the peace, but this peace does exist.

That's enough.

Moreover, this is still a conspiracy.

He is the first and the emperor, and the people who try their best to climb his lintel can be lined up from here to Nanzhili.

As for the likes of Zhang Xuan and Wang Qiong, they dance completely with the Sacred Heart.

And under the congratulations of the Son of Heaven and the support of the ministers, how could he refuse himself?

Eventually, it's the hot spot.

Not surprisingly, some people began to say that today's joy should not only lie in Wang Ge Lao, but also in the saints, and there is nothing to do in the four seas, so they have such leisure now.

His sons, the most middle-of-the-envelope, saw that others were infinitely touted in his family, and they did not hide their excitement before they were excited, and followed suit.

Wang Wei shook his head and sighed to himself: Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must have been looking at this place, right?

Not long after, looking for a vacancy where no one was around, he called his eldest son over and instructed: "Greeting guests is all joyful words, and they can't be taken seriously, but you all seem to be getting carried away!" ”

The eldest son was also aggrieved, I don't know why his father was still with a straight face at this time, "Father, today is your birthday, and all of you are colleagues...... This is the meaning of saying a few happy words. Besides, children can't always greet guests with a bitter face. ”

"You!" Wang Weixin said that he understood his own thoughts at all, and had previously discussed with him why the emperor took the initiative to let him hold a birthday banquet, "It seems that when your father leaves Beijing, you can only find some idle jobs to do!" ”

Seeing that he was really angry, the eldest son lowered his head.

Wang Wei thought about this occasion or forget it, "Okay, let's get busy!" ”

However, he still thought about it a little shallower, because he thought of all the distinguished guests in the house, but he never expected that a sedan chair would fall before the door before the banquet officially began.

I saw that on the side of the sedan chair, there was a noble celebrant who held the seal of the eunuch You Ji, he bent down and lifted the curtain, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have arrived at the place." ”

"Oh, okay."

The person who came was naturally Zhu Houzhao, and after he came down, he carried his hands on his back, looked up, and read: "Wangfu, it's the first time I've come." Let's go, join in the fun. ”

"Okay."

Speaking of which, it is really worthy of being the seven-rank official in front of the 'Prime Minister', probably knowing what kind of logo or clothing, the stage of welcoming guests has ended, and ordinary people can't get in, but when I look at Zhu Houzhao, I immediately woke up after a period of confusion, and then I was so frightened that I knelt down directly.

Looking directly at the Son of Heaven, this sin is not small!

When the others saw him like this, most of them followed him, anyway, just follow along, only one or two people didn't understand the situation, and they stepped forward to try to be polite, "Dare to ask, where is the honorable guest?" ”

"Get down on your knees!"

The person on the side directly got up and pressed him down, and didn't let him say more.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care either, and walked in by himself.

The courtyard is not small, and there are a lot of people who drive it, but fortunately, there are smart people who trot all the way and make crazy gestures, "Kneel!" Get on your knees! ”

You Ji joked: "The emperor is so angry." ”

After turning two screens, the open space in the palace appeared, and he was at the end of the red carpet, and there were more than a dozen large round tables on both sides of the line, which were already full of guests at this time.

"Your Majesty?!"

I don't know who called it that.

Then there was a succession of exclaims.

When it reached Wang Wei's ears, he had been sitting down, but immediately his white beard shook, and he got up and was about to rush outside.

And younger than him, who had good hearing, reacted faster, and got up and walked out of the door to greet the emperor and began to bow down.

"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled, greeted this group of ministers who were shocked, and said to Wang Wei: "Today's courtesy of the monarch and ministers is secondary, the emperor also has to worship the teacher, and the emperor also has to respect the relationship between teachers and students." Respect for teachers, and the style of a gentleman. Mr. Wang is my mentor, how can I not come on your birthday? How could you not come? Yes? Isn't it? ”

Wang Wei was immediately flattered, "The emperor is so gracious, and the ministers are terrified!" ”

"No, get up." Zhu Houzhao raised it falsely, and then said: "In the eleventh year of Zhengde, the imperial court won two victories in a row, think about it, it can also be said that it has determined the overall situation of Zhongxing, I am the emperor, you are an official, you can't always be bitter and hateful, right?" Your birthday is a timely celebration, so the second meaning of my is also to join in the fun, to congratulate the three words 'peace in the world', you say, okay? ”

The emperor has said so, and someone can still jump out at this time and say no, your majesty, go back! Isn't that a purebred stupidity?

Wang Wei knew in his heart that His Majesty had come for this!

"You Ji, don't be stupid. Since it's to celebrate a birthday, how can there be no congratulatory gifts?! ”

You Ji immediately shouted, "The emperor has a handwritten ink treasure on the 'Gongzhong Country'!" ”

Zhu Houzhao has considered it, giving gold and silver at this time is really cheesy, and giving it to an official position is suspected of public and private use, so he still gives a picture of his writing. Don't spend too much silver,

However, the emperor personally wrote a letter to the public loyal to the country, which was to be brought back to the ancestral house and hung until the family was ruined.

This is a great glory, and people like Wang Wei will not exchange it for his daughter.

"Minister, Wang Wei thank Your Majesty Longen!!"
