Li Hong glanced at Li Zhi, and his whole person was paralyzed, and there were already tears in his eyes.

The eldest grandson of the horse is the son-in-law of Li Zhi's sister, the princess of Xincheng County, and he saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty will create ten thousand generations, and will create ten thousand..."

"Enough is enough," Li Zhi interrupted, "I've heard enough of these compliments, today is my birthday, shut up and drink, otherwise as soon as you open your mouth, I will panic." ”

Li Zhong still didn't give up, and took the opportunity to say again: "My father is humble and honest, and he really admires his sons. ”

Li Zhi's face twitched, why don't you blush when you say this?

It's a good birthday party, you have to make a sycophant contest, don't you?

"Enough, whoever dares to say that nonsense again, I will not be spared."

"Feast."

After that, Li Zhi directly picked up the wine in the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your Majesty has a decree, open a banquet."

One by one, the chamberlains once again took the imperial dining room to prepare delicacies and replace all the original meals, and then the musicians played music and the dancing girls came on the stage.

The atmosphere of the banquet warmed up, and the officials also used their own chopsticks, and the chickens pecked at the same time.

However, Cheng Chubi and a few people began to inhale the storm like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.

Cheng Yanjin and the others couldn't help but turn pale for a while when they saw their son being so unbearable, and after they each glared at their son, several people stopped.

After a few glasses of wine, Li Zhi's face was already slightly red, and Li Zhong also saluted directly after seeing it: "Father, my son is fortunate to find a treasure, and I wish Your Majesty a long life." ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and directly motioned to the other party to bring it quietly.

Immediately, Li Zhong gave the chamberlain in the hall a look, and the chamberlain nodded and left in a hurry.

After a while, I saw a group of eunuchs walking in carrying something covered with a huge red silk.

When the things were put down, Li Zhong smiled forward and lifted the red silk directly.

In an instant, the entire hall shone brightly.

Beneath the red silk was a coral tree nearly three feet tall, with leafy branches and twisted trunks that stretched out in all directions.

As soon as it revealed its form, it became the focus of the main hall, and everyone was taken away from it.

Li Zhi looked at the coral tree and said in surprise: "This kind of coral can only be seen in books, and there is no chance to meet it in the world." ”

Seeing that Li Zhi was interested, Li Zhong hurriedly said: "Yes, father, this is a treasure that no amount of silver can buy." ”

This pillar coral tree is red all over, and red coral is a symbol of power and wealth in the eyes of the ancients, and beads made of coral are priceless, let alone such natural red coral.

The so-called thousand-year-old coral is 10,000-year-old red, more than two feet tall and close to three feet, which is already a peerless treasure and a rare treasure.

Looking at the coral in front of him, Li Zhi was expressionless, and said lightly: "King Liang, you have a heart." ”

After Li Zhong heard this, he seemed to have eaten honey, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "This kind of treasure has never been seen in the world, and the reason why it is present in the world must be an auspicious thing born at the behest of my father."

Therefore, it should be dedicated to the father today, which is the blessing of the father. ”

Li Zhi's face darkened, and he trembled his lips and said, "Is it my blessing?" Hehe. ”

Li Zhong still wanted to speak, so he heard Li Zhi yell: "Come on, smash this coral tree for me." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, especially Li Zhong, who was even more stunned, not knowing what the situation was.

Several Praetorian Guards rushed in, each drawing a steel knife from their sheaths, and smashed the coral tree to pieces.

"Father... Father, why is this so? ”

Li Zhong felt that his whole person was not good, looked at Li Zhi with a black face, and asked.

"Why? This coral tree looks beautiful, but behind it is countless people's fat and ointment.

Today is my birthday, don't you want the wealthy families of the world to take me as an example and let the extravagance prevail in my Tang Dynasty?

And I am the Ninety-Five, but you say that the coral tree symbolizes my blessings, is it worthy? ”

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he stared at Li Zhong with his eyes, as if he was going to eat him raw.

With a pop, Li Zhong knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Li Zhi.

"Father, the son is wrong, and the son also listened to the slander, so he will be like this, and I hope that my father will forgive my sins."

Looking at Li Zhong's appearance, Li Zhi didn't say anything, just swept his gaze to the other princes.

"I advise you to put away your own thoughts, the gifts are in your hearts, not valuable, don't make me angry."

"Obey the will of my father."

"Obey the will of my father."

...

Several princes hurriedly saluted, and so did the ministers of civil and military affairs.

Everyone is now grateful to Li Zhong in their hearts, if he hadn't been the first bird, maybe someone would take Li Zhi's anger.

Li Zhi poured another glass of fine wine and drank it slowly, and at the same time had a question in his mind.

If the second brother knew about my eldest brother's birthday, I don't know what gift I would give, I guess it wouldn't be a coral tree that this fart didn't use.

Shaking his head, Li Zhi regretted it for a while.

I knew that I would give him a will, and let him bring his parents to the court for a banquet.

The matter of the eldest grandson Wuji's going into the wilderness, Li Yanran paid the most, and in the end, the reward was not as good as the criticism of the eldest grandson Yan, which made him feel a little ashamed.

Make up your mind, when your birthday is over, you will send someone to find out Li Yanran's life experience.

Don't you want to take credit, I will give this credit to your father, and you want to be alone, to see if you can escape from the palm of my hand.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi was also in a good mood, and drank a few glasses of wine one after another, and he was also a little drunk.

Wu Zetian whispered a few words to the maid beside him, and then also said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, didn't Mei Niang say that there is a surprise for you." ”

Hearing Wu Zetian's words, Li Zhi was slightly stunned and said: "Yes, I'm still waiting, what kind of surprise, tell me quickly."

"Your Majesty, do you remember that Mei Niang was a monk in Ganye Temple, and there was a period of time when Mei Niang said she was sick and did not see Your Majesty."

Speaking of Ganye Temple, Li Zhi also nodded.

It was true that he went to look for Wu Meiniang for a while, but Wu Zetian avoided it, saying that he was seriously ill, and he was worried for a long time.

"Actually, Mei Niang was not sick at that time, but was pregnant with His Majesty's flesh and blood."

"What? Why didn't you tell me then. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi's whole person collapsed, it was not because he was sick during that time, but because he was pregnant with my flesh and blood.

This really made him a little suspicious of life.

"It's not that I can't but I don't dare, Mei Niang was still mourning for the first emperor at that time, if that would reveal that I was pregnant with His Majesty's flesh and blood, what would the situation be?

What will the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty think of Mei Niang, how will they look at Your Majesty, and how will they look at our flesh and blood.

For the sake of His Majesty, and for His Majesty's flesh and blood, Mei Niang could only bear it alone, and did not dare to say anything to anyone. ”

As he spoke, Wu Zetian actually sobbed quietly.

"Mei Niang, I'm sorry for you, you should have told me earlier."

Hearing this, Li Zhi also understood Wu Zetian's painstaking efforts, and took her into his arms.

At that time, he had just ascended the throne, and if he really broke out that he had an affair with Wu Zetian, it would definitely affect his throne.

Wu Zetian was able to take care of the overall situation and carry everything on his back, which really suffered.

"As long as Your Majesty is well, everything Mei Niang has done will be worth it."

Wu Zetian shook his head, fortunately he survived, otherwise how could there be the current queen Wu.

"Mei Niang, where is our flesh and blood now, is this the surprise you want to give me?"

Li Zhi helped Wu Zetian wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked with excitement in his eyes.

This is indeed a big surprise, what better gift could there be than this for the long-lost flesh and blood.

"Are Your Majesty sure you want to recognize her in front of the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials? Aren't you afraid of any waves? ”

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Zhi, his eyes full of anticipation.

"That's natural, my flesh and blood can recognize me on my birthday, this is one joy to two joys, I can't wait to let the civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and relatives see my long-lost flesh and blood outside.

And this is also what he deserves, because his father is me, the ninety-five honor of the Tang Dynasty.

If anyone dares to make waves, I will surely let him know what the wrath of the Son of Heaven is. ”

Li Zhi looked indifferent.

If it was before, he might have been afraid of the eldest grandson Wuji, but now that the eldest grandson Wuji has become the king of Zhaozhou, there is no longer a threat.

No one in the entire Datang can resist him anymore, as a father, how can he endure the exile of his own flesh and blood.

If anyone dares to oppose his own child, he will silence the other party forever.

"So Mei Niang is relieved, it's not in vain that our child has prepared a big gift for you."

Wu Zetian looked at Li Zhi, who was full of boyfriend, and he also looked like a little daughter.

This is my Wu Zetian's husband, this is Xiao Yanran's father, and this is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"The child also prepared a big gift? Then don't send someone to bring it up. ”
