Chapter 191 Sixty-two birthday gifts, moved the emperor to tears
The birthday gifts prepared by the crown prince and King Zhao are both precious and meaningful.
If the gift prepared by King Han is more sloppy, then there will be fun to watch.
Seeing that King Han was standing indifferent, Yao Guangxiao hurriedly reminded: "His Royal Highness King Han, don't you have anything to say?" ”
"Uh, I ......"
King Han scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Erchen congratulates my father and emperor on a long life, and the pine crane prolongs its life, and it will last forever." ”
"As for the birthday gift, Erchen has asked Yuan'er to prepare, and it will be served later."
The crown prince and King Zhao stood behind and talked in a low voice.
"Big brother, I heard that the second child has only been hunting with eagles every day these days, and he hasn't taken the Halloween to heart at all."
"I'm afraid it's a birthday gift, so I'm not prepared at all, right?"
The crown prince smiled, "Third child, you can't say that. ”
"As far as I know, Yuan'er has been on the street a lot these days and bought a lot of things."
"But what he buys is just ordinary things."
"It can't be compared to the birthday gift carefully prepared by you and me."
"Well, this time, the second child should be going to make a mistake."
Emperor Yongle looked at the embarrassment of King Han and said with relief, "Xu'er, it's okay. ”
"You can congratulate me on my birthday by my side, it is already the best gift."
"As for the money treasure, it doesn't matter if you have it or not."
"Come, let's have a feast!"
Emperor Yongle glanced at Yao Guangxiao and motioned for him to announce the feast.
Yao Guangxiao stepped forward, cleared his throat and was about to speak.
Outside the hall, a high shout suddenly sounded, "Wait! ”
The ministers agreed, and turned their heads to take a fixed look.
It was Lu Yuan who appeared, held hands with Gu Qingwan, and strode in.
"The prince is here!"
The ministers couldn't help but whisper, "Could it be that King Han really prepared a generous gift for His Majesty?" ”
"Well, I think it's very likely."
"The brains of the prince can be called the genius of the world."
"His inventions, any of them, can make His Majesty like it to death."
"I don't know what inventions the prince has prepared for today's Wanshou Festival?"
"Perhaps, it can set off a lot of waves in the imperial city again!"
"Wait......"
"Isn't this a little too much?"
I saw that behind Lu Yuan, followed by Lingju, Lingling, Kraken and other women.
Each woman carried two flat poles on her shoulders and a dozen gift boxes.
Together, more than sixty kinds of gifts were piled up into a small mountain in front of Emperor Yongle.
Lu Yuan took a step forward and knelt down and said, "Grandson Lu Yuan, I wish the emperor all the best of luck!" ”
"Yuan'er, you ......"
Emperor Yongle was a little overwhelmed by this mountain-like gift.
After being stunned for a long time, he smiled bitterly, "What are you doing here?" ”
"It's a bit too big, isn't it?"
"Back to the emperor, this is a birthday gift specially prepared by my grandson for the emperor."
Lu Yuan said solemnly: "Over the years, the emperor has never taken his own affairs to heart for the sake of hundreds of officials, for the well-being of all the people in the world, and for the everlasting foundation of the martyrs. ”
"Almost in a blink of an eye, this year is the emperor's sixty-second birthday."
"So my grandson dared to prepare a birthday gift for the emperor from one year old to sixty-two years old."
Hearing this, the ministers were shocked.
From the age of one to the age of sixty-two, prepare a copy of all the gifts?
This is simply unheard of and unprecedented.
Emperor Yongle was also stunned for a long time, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Without waiting for him to speak, Lu Yuan took the first gift from Gu Qingwan's hand and stepped forward.
"This is the grandson, the first gift for the emperor."
"When the emperor was born, it was at a time when the world was in turmoil and wars raged."
"Hong Wuye is busy fighting with Chen Baldzi, and the military situation is like fire, so he won't have time to name the emperor."
"My grandson is the emperor, and I have prepared a golden lock."
"The implication is not to be forgotten, immortal longevity Hengchang!"
Immediately, under the shocked gaze of the ministers and officials.
Lu Yuan began to open every gift and present it to the emperor.
At the time of the gift, he also specially told the experience and deeds of Emperor Yongle that year.
And the gifts are all related to these experiences.
From the twelfth gift, Emperor Yongle was deeply moved.
couldn't say another word, only nodded again and again.
While listening to Lu Yuan's birthday gift, he recalled his life.
When he was young, most of them were vassals and conquered the Tartars in the north.
When he was middle-aged, he was forced to raise troops, and it was difficult for Jing to seize the throne.
After ascending the throne, he conquered Mobei four times and cast Yongle.
In his later years, he operated the border passes, strengthened the country and enriched the people.
From Lu Yuan's mouth, Emperor Yongle watched his life's exploits as if he were watching a flower.
Speaking of the touching place, the ministers couldn't help but burst into tears, and whimpering sounded everywhere.
"The last birthday gift from my grandson to the emperor."
"This year, the emperor's sixty-second birthday."
Lu Yuan said solemnly, "The emperor moved the capital to Yanjing, conquered the Tartars abroad, soothed the hearts of the people inside, and laid a solid foundation for the eternal rivers and mountains of Lieqian." ”
"Sun Er specially presents the ten great exploits since the emperor's accession to the throne to show congratulations."
"First, there are 3.84 million acres of new fields in the country, which is as many acres as there are thousands of years!"
"Second, the tax is a gift, since the third year of Yongle, a total of rice, grain, and beans, 91.6 million stones!"
"Third, Taicang is abundant, the grain is like a mountain, and the grain is stored in various places, as much as 53.9 million stones!"
"Fourth, the growth of the people, the county is upgraded to ......"
Listen to the various exploits read out by Lu Yuan, and listen to these astonishing numbers.
The ministers below were deeply shocked, and then felt extremely honored.
These feats were not made by the emperor alone.
Rather, there is the power of each and every one of their servants in it.
The prince said this, in addition to congratulating his birthday.
Isn't it in recognition of their life's work?
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the Lieqian Dynasty will last forever!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Seeing the ministers all kneeling on the ground excitedly.
Emperor Yongle couldn't help but burst into tears, and the old tears were rampant.
"Yuan'er, come ......"
Lu Yuan put down the exercise book and stepped forward respectfully.
Emperor Yongle directly waved his hand and hugged him into his arms.
"Yuan'er, you're bothered."
"This is the best gift I've ever received in my life!"
"In this life and this life, I will take your congratulatory gift today as a commandment."
"As long as I have a breath, I will never do anything to disappoint the people of the martyrs!"
Watching Emperor Yongle directly in front of the ministers, he gave Lu Yuan a hug that symbolized the highest glory.
The king of Han was overjoyed, and his chin was about to rise to the sky.
And the crown prince and King Zhao on the side were so angry that they were about to crush their teeth.
Lu Yuan's more than sixty gifts combined, the value was less than one-tenth of the heavy gifts prepared by the two of them.
However, it was sent to the heart of his father, and his father was so moved that he cried.
Both of them had strong jealousy in their hearts.
Of course, it's not jealousy of Lu Yuan's intelligence.
is jealous of King Han, why does he have such a good son.
"Come on, come on, let's have a feast!"
Emperor Yongle waved his hand and said loudly, "Yuan'er, don't go, just sit next to the emperor!" ”
"Today, the emperor wants to get drunk with you!"
Since Lu Yuan crossed into this world, it was the first time he had seen Emperor Yongle so happy.
Looking at Emperor Yongle who was moved to tears, holding the gift he prepared and couldn't put it down.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
This kind of trick is not uncommon in modern times.
In order to touch their girlfriends, many men prepare gifts from one year old to their twenties.
But Rao is like this, and girls may not be very satisfied.
Not to mention being like the emperor, he was so moved that he cried and laughed.
From this, conclusions can be drawn.
Those little girls who are used to being spoiled in modern times are even more difficult to coax than the emperor.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Emperor Yongle drank several glasses of wine in a row, and for a moment he was arrogant and dry, and stood up suddenly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement!"
"You should all know about the recent war between Korea and China."
"The Tatars led their troops to attack Kaiping, but they were routed by the troops of our five capitals."
"In order to completely eradicate the remnant Yuan Tartars, I have decided to conquer the thief chief Arutai in one fell swoop after the beginning of spring next year, that is, the imperial drive and the five expeditions to Mobei!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers hurriedly knelt down to congratulate.
"The ministers wish Your Majesty prosperity and victory!"
The generals asked for battle one after another, striving to be the vanguard.
Among them, the most excited are naturally King Han and King Zhao.
They can't wait to go out with the car and sweep through the old enemy Arutai.
And Lu Yuan, who was beside Emperor Yongle, was stunned in his heart.
Is it finally coming?
According to parallel time and space, Emperor Yongle was due to the five expeditions to Mobei, and his labor was fruitless.
As a result, when the class teacher returned to the court, he died of illness in the Yumu River.
It seems that some things have long been predestined and irreversible.
No matter how hard you try, it's in vain.
Just as Lu Yuan sighed again and again, drinking stuffy wine.
Yao Guangxiao suddenly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Dare to fight, please think twice, Your Majesty." ”
"Recently, the minister watched the sky at night, and saw that the emperor's qi moved south, and the Beidou was dark, which was not conducive to our army's northern expedition."
"Please consider Your Majesty, it is better to rest and recuperate first, strengthen the border passes, and when the providence blesses you in the future, it is not too late to set out on the expedition."
Emperor Yongle was originally full of ambition and rejoiced.
was poured a basin of cold water by Yao Guangxiao in public, and his face suddenly showed displeasure.
"Guangxiao, what did you say?"
"I will suppress thieves for the country, drive out the Tartars, follow the way of heaven, and respond to the will of the people."
"Aren't you shaking the hearts of the army when you talk like this?"
"Wechen doesn't dare."
Yao Guangxiao did not waver at all, and said solemnly, "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has conquered Mobei four times, sealed the wolf Juxu, and drank Ma Hanhai. ”
"But this time, it is indeed God's will that is not good, and the sky does not bless it."
"If Your Majesty insists on sending troops, I am afraid of ......"
"Afraid of what?"
Emperor Yongle said angrily, "If I insist on sending troops, will I be defeated by the Tartars?!" ”
"No, that's not what Wechen meant."
Yao Guangxiao hurriedly shook his head in fear, "It's just ......"
"Monk Yao, don't say it again!"
The crown prince scolded angrily, "Don't retreat quickly!" ”
Yao Guangxiao was still worried and did not waver in the slightest.
Emperor Yongle snorted coldly and slammed the wine cup on the table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm drunk, let's disperse."
After that, without waiting for the ministers to leave, he turned around coldly and walked away.
This longevity banquet broke up unhappily because of Yao Guangxiao's words.
Lu Yuan returned to the mansion, always thoughtful.
It was because he was familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty in parallel time and space that he knew that the emperor had gone and had no return.
But he knew the emperor's temper, so he didn't choose to persuade him.
Unexpectedly, Monk Yao actually spoke up to dissuade him on his behalf.
He really just watched the sky at night and saw that the heavens were not going well.
Or is he really as capable of calculating as the legend says, an unknown prophet.
And with the skill of divination, you see the future of the emperor?
Just as Lu Yuan was thinking a lot, a subordinate knocked on the door.
"Lord Shizi, Prime Minister Yao Cheng came to visit the house and said he wanted to see you."
"Oh?"
Lu Yuan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and serve tea!" ”
Then he immediately set off and went straight to the lobby.
Yao Guangxiao sat on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes, and remained unmoved.
Lu Yuan walked into the hall and said with a smile, "Yao Xiangguo, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”
"Lord Shizi, I came to beg you."
Yao Guangxiao said solemnly, "At the longevity banquet, when His Majesty said that he wanted to conquer Mobei five times. ”
"The ministers are all flattering and asking for war, but you are the same as me, looking worried and unhappy."
"Yao wants to ask, is the prince of the world, and what is his perception?"
Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and said with a light smile, "Yao Xiangguo, I don't like to beat around the bush. ”
"If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Okay, then Yao will be blunt."
Yao Guangxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "A few days ago, I watched the sky at night and divined against the Big Dipper. ”
"According to the hexagram, Your Majesty will have a hurdle in his life next year, and if he can't cross it, he is likely to die."
"At this time, Your Majesty also decided to drive a personal expedition to Mobei."
"Your Majesty has passed the age of sixteen this year, although the dragon body is healthy, but the horse has suffered a lot of war injuries over the years."
"Yao is worried that if His Majesty really goes on the expedition, the prophecy of the Big Dipper is very likely to come true."
A trace of admiration arose in Lu Yuan's heart.
Later generations were rumored to say that the black-clothed prime minister, Monk Yao, was able to pinch and calculate, and was proficient in divination.
Now it seems that this rumor is true.
Even the emperor's life and death can be divined so accurately.
In the entire Lieqian Dynasty, except for himself, I am afraid that he is the only one.
"Yao Xiangguo, I won't tell you, I feel the same way."
Lu Yuan said solemnly, "The emperor will not only fail to make contributions this time, but is also very likely to sink into the sand." ”
"However, you know the emperor, and no one can change what he decides."
"Even if I open my mouth to persuade me, I may not be able to persuade the emperor to change his mind."
Yao Guangxiao sighed heavily and said bitterly, "What should I do?" ”
"Could it be that God does not bless Your Majesty, God does not bless me?"
"Yao Xiangguo, don't worry."
Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously, "Although I can't do anything, it doesn't mean that there is no room for mediation in this matter." ”
As soon as the words fell, he snapped his fingers.
In the entire hall, a strong dragon power suddenly permeated.
A moment later, a blue light descended from the sky and turned into a human form.
It was Lingju who appeared in a dashing manner, sitting beside Lu Yuan with an expressionless face. (End of chapter)
