Chapter 256: Birthday Banquet

At noon, the sun's rays dyed the entire city of Chang'an gold.

At this time, in the palace, all the ministers rushed to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and each of them carried a beautiful gift box in their hands.

Su Wei and Li Dezhao entered the palace side by side, both sides looked at each other's gifts, Su Wei quietly raised his arm and touched Li Dezhao, and said:

"Today is the birthday of the saint, I don't know what gift Li Xianggong will give? Can you give me a palm? ”

Su Wei was very curious and wanted to know what Li Dezhao sent this time?

Since his accession to the throne, the saint has been diligent and thrifty, and has never held such a banquet, which can not help but make the ministers talk a lot.

"This is a birthday gift for the saint, how can you let others see it casually, you will naturally know when the time comes, but it is you, what gift did you give?"

After Li Dezhao glanced at him, his tone was quite disdainful, and he actually wanted to inquire about my details, but there was no door!

Su Wei was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and went directly to the side to chat with fellow practitioners, and being with this old fox was really boring, and he would be pitted if he didn't do it.

Want to find out what gift I give? Only a fool would tell!

As more and more people sat down, soon the whole hall became lively, and the people who could appear in the banquet this time were all dignitaries, relatives of the emperor, and important ministers of the court.

In the whispers of everyone, Ximen Yang was the first to appear in their sight.

When everyone saw Wang De, all the people stood up and stood up respectfully.

As a celebrity next to the Son of Heaven, Ximen Yang appeared here, which means that the Son of Heaven is about to appear.

"The saint has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! His Majesty the Emperor has arrived! ”

As the ceremonial officer shouted loudly, Li Jing walked in with the queen who was pregnant with Liujia.

Then the Emperor Li Sujie appeared.

"Ministers, meet Your Majesty, meet the Queen Mother! Meet Your Majesty!"

After the Emperor Taishang, Li Jing, and the Empress came to the main seat and sat down, the ministers bowed their hands.

"Although today is my birthday, it shouldn't have been, but over the years, everything you Aiqing has done for my Datang has been remembered by me, so I take this birthday banquet to invite you to enjoy together."

Li Er smiled with a smile on his face, waved his hand gently, and signaled that you don't need to be polite.

"Thank you, saint!"

The crowd saluted again.

After everyone sat down, Li Ying, the king of Xu, was the first to stand up and salute Li Jing: "Brother Congratulations to the saint, longevity is better than Nanshan, and blessing is like the East China Sea!" Datang will last for generations!"

"Good!"

After hearing the words of King Xu Li Ying, Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, the second child's birthday speech made him very satisfied, who doesn't want to be eternal and pass on to thousands of generations.

During the Tang Dynasty, the rules were strict and the principle of orderliness was emphasized.

After Li Ying finished delivering things, it was the turn of the other younger brothers.

After the emperor's relatives have sent it, it is the turn of the civil and military officials to give birthday gifts.

"Congratulations to the saints, long live the thousand autumns! This is a birthday gift specially prepared for the saint, please see the saint. ”

Li Dezhao stood up, pointed to the box held by the waiter on the side, and everyone looked to see what gift Li Dezhao had given.

"Li Aiqing has a heart, I don't know what gift Li Aiqing gave me?"

Li Jing was very curious and asked the waiter to open the box.

There are no treasures in the box, only rice, wheat, corn and other grains.

Everyone was very puzzled, what did Li Dezhao do with these grains?

"Congratulations to the saint again, the Tang Dynasty has a bumper harvest......"

Li Dezhao crossed his hands and saluted, and began to take the opportunity of offering grains to begin to sing praises to Li Jing.

Alas! Li Jing sighed, it's a pity! Li Dezhao, a person who can speak well, can't stay in the end.

"Li Aiqing has a heart, and I am very satisfied with your birthday gift."

Hearing Li Jing's satisfied words, Li Dezhao suddenly smiled, feeling that his position had been preserved.

What is the use of others giving gifts, no matter how good it is, it is not as good as his good harvest of grains, plus he wishes the Tang Dynasty a bumper harvest every year.

"Saint, the minister also has a salute, and please smile at the saint."

Not to be outdone, Su Wei didn't want the light to be snatched away by Li Dezhao, so he immediately stood up and offered a gift!

The guards brought in a few things that Su Wei had prepared, which were sugar and a bucket of ginger.

"Su Wei, what do you mean by using these as gifts to the saint?"

Without waiting for Su Wei to speak, Li Dezhao first asked Su Weilai, when this is a vegetable market, do you want to sell ginger?

Everyone also had a lot of discussions about the birthday gift given by Su Wei, and they all felt that Su Wei was messing around, how could he send these things at the birthday banquet of the Son of Heaven?

Li Jing waved his hand, and everyone stopped talking.

"Aiqing sent this thing to me, what do you want to say?"

Li Jing looked at the sugar and a bucket of ginger in front of him, and probably could guess the meaning, it was nothing more than a bucket of rivers and mountains or something.

It can be said that there is no new idea, but it is very effective, the emperor does not want his country to be unified, and he does not want his mountain to last forever.

Except, of course, faint kings, tyrants, etc.

Everyone's eyes focused on Su Wei, but they didn't put the slightest pressure on Su Wei.

"I wish Datang and Jiangshan a bucket for thousands of years! I wish the Tang Dynasty eternal solidity like an iron bucket and will be passed on forever!"

Su Wei saluted and said.

All the ministers gasped.

This damn Su flavor is so good at licking it, even the country and mountains are used forever, it is really shameless!

In particular, the word "one bucket" is used wonderfully, implying that the Tang Dynasty is like an iron barrel and will be passed down forever!

Why didn't they think that sending such a meaningful thing would make the saint happy and happy.

The Su flavor of the country has been unified for thousands of years, and it instantly overshadowed Li Dezhao's bumper harvest!

It has become the finale of this birthday banquet, and the treasures offered at the back are naturally not as good as the Su flavor of the country for thousands of years in terms of meaning!

"Good! Su Aiqing has a heart, a good country has been unified for thousands of years, Dalang, Su Aiqing should be rewarded. ”

Li Jing hadn't spoken yet, but Li Sujie on the side clapped his hands and applauded.

"Father thinks something should be rewarded?"

Li Jing glanced at Su Wei, looked back at Li Sujie and asked.

"You are the Son of Heaven, what should you reward, you can watch for yourself!"

Li Sujie said with a smile.

He is not the emperor, and it is his turn to worry about rewarding his courtiers.

Li Jing didn't speak, and gave Su Wei some valuables at will, and everyone continued to offer the gifts to be given, and after reading it, the birthday banquet officially began.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that the birthday banquet ended!

After a thorough investigation, Li Dezhao did commit a lot of crimes, and Li Jing issued an edict, seeing that he had also served the imperial court, so that Li Dezhao retired early.

Su Wei and the others were attached to Li Dezhao, and they were all relegated to other places to be officials, and whether they could come back or not depended on their own creation.

Some people died, but not completely......
