Duan Yanxing hadn't seen the Marquis before, but looking at the young man in front of him wearing the crown of the prince and hanging from far and near, Duan Yanxing couldn't even speak for a moment.

"Daihou really has the honor of a king. ”

Not only him, but also people who had seen or failed to see Daihou, all of them were shocked when they watched this Daihou coming.

This is Daihou!

This is the son of the crown prince!

is worthy of being the grandson of the emperor, and his bearing far surpasses that of the kings!

It's not that I'm about to enter the hall, and it's not the time to talk about it at this moment, I'm afraid that the officials who are familiar with each other will not be able to hold back, and they sigh with their colleagues who have a good relationship.

"Master Hou, please come here. Duan Yanxing pressed his mind, greeted him from the door of the main hall, and led Su Ziji who came up all the way to the hall.

Because Su Ziji came for the first time, he didn't know where to stand, and he needed Duan Yanxing to lead him to the position, so Duan Yanxing directly led Su Ziji to the upper place, which was located at the bottom of the kings.

Many officials walked into the hall and stood in order of official positions, but they still couldn't help but secretly look at Su Ziji in front of them.

"The emperor has arrived—"

The door of the West Pavilion is opened, "Papapa" three silent whips, drums and chimes, Huang Zhong Dalu, the music is loud, and the emperor slowly goes to the throne.

With a smile on his face, the Emperor stood in front of the throne for a moment and sat down upright.

"Stop, salute!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After the mountain shouted, he almost stopped breathing, and the whole hall fell silent.

Although it has been used for twenty years, the emperor's face is still slightly red today, his eyes swept over the kings, and he glanced at the place of the marquis.

This is the great position, which affects the honor and disgrace of people in one word, life and death, and nothing can replace it.

The emperor stretched out his hands to signal that he was exempt, and the eunuch sang: "Give the king of Qi, the king of Shu, the king of Lu, and the marquis to sit." ”

"Sons (grandchildren) are grateful!"

The four of them thanked him, and there was a commotion among the ministers, and it seemed that the acting marquis had a lot of status in the emperor's mind.

"Ministers!" the emperor smiled, sat firmly on the throne, his breath was gentle, his face was ruddy, and he didn't show that he had been seriously ill.

Zhao Gonggong knew in his heart that this was the effect of Xiao Huandan, but the officials and lords standing below didn't know, and they peeked at it, and they were all thinking about it.

I only heard the emperor's sonorous voice: "Emperor Taizu was born and died to create a foundation, this is well known, and I don't say much." ”

"Taizu is not only martial arts, reigned for eleven years, revitalized hundreds of years of decadence, diligent government, diligent governance, tireless nights, these are all I witnessed with my own eyes, I followed the ambition of Taizu, these eighteen years, also very bitter and tired, lost a lot, but I dare not say that to create a generation of extremely prosperous world, but also refresh the rule of officials, equal taxation, so far finally a small achievement. ”

"Ask yourself if you can start Taizu right, and start Sheji right. ”

The emperor's eyes turned on his sons, and when he saw that they all looked indifferent, he couldn't help but be discouraged, and what he wanted to say stopped when he reached his mouth, and changed the topic: "These are not only the work of my own people, but also the hard work of your ministers. ”

"It's been a hard year, and this year's feast is given, and I see that I can be informal. ”

In the middle of the clock, Lu Xin's bell rang in unison, and the hundred officials thanked him in the music, and the ceremonial officials shouted: "Stop the music - enjoy the banquet and pay tribute!"

According to the rules, on the first day of the New Year's greeting, it is the official reward for the tribute, that is, the hundred officials are rewarded, and the lord and the royal family pay tribute.

The emperor first rewarded the officials in turn according to the merits of the officials this year, and there was originally a little weird atmosphere, but it suddenly became warm, and there should be an atmosphere for the New Year.

When the hundred officials were rewarded, it was time for the lord and the royal family to pay tribute.

Needless to say, the meritorious lord paid tribute first, but just called the name, and did not really put gifts on the palace, and it was different when it was the turn of the royal family, one by one entities went to the palace and showed the ministers to show the friendship of the heavenly family.

"The king of Shu paid tribute to Linlang jade screen! It is to use the nearly lost Linlang double-sided embroidery, which requires nine virgin embroiderers, and it takes a year to embroider, and there is a picture ......of the fairy girl on it."

"King Qi pays tribute to a longevity pearl shirt! It is made of tens of thousands of pearls with similar skin......"

"King Lu pays tribute ......"

The kings paid tribute to their New Year's gifts one by one, all of them were at least three, and the eunuchs not only took the roll call, but also showed the gifts to the emperor and the people present one by one, each of which was difficult to find, and the emperor gave a good face.

When it was King Qi's turn, King Qi raised his eyes and peeked, and found that his father saw the pearl shirt and other gifts he offered, and nodded and smiled, and said, "Not bad." ”

King Qi's heart suddenly fell into his stomach, and he also had time to listen to the gifts from others, especially staring at Daihou.

When it was the turn of this Daihou, when he heard that Daihou paid tribute to a pair of pearls, a pair of auspicious coral ornaments, and a pair of Qianfu pictures, he suddenly pouted secretly.

Although this thousand blessings won him a reputation for filial piety, this gift was also shabby. ”

"After the New Year, the Daihou is not a newcomer, can you let Yushi give him some eye medicine?"

Don't look at it and say that filial piety is not filial piety, the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, what is not? Credible people are dead, not to mention the former Wei, that is, Taizu, there is a marquis because of the gold quality of the tribute, a little bad, was taken away 500 households, and decreased to an uncle.

This is still Taizu's contribution, if it is the previous dynasty, it is normal to completely win the title.

So who would dare to give a thin courtesy?

The king of Qi was thinking about it, but the emperor was obviously more interested in the gift of tribute on behalf of the marquis, and after the eunuch shouted the gift, he said: "Give me the Thousand Blessing Diagram, this is painted by my emperor and grandson, I have to take a good look at it." ”

Zhao Gonggong personally went down, took the Qianfu diagram from the little eunuch, and held it in front of the emperor, and there were eunuchs to help unfold it.

"Good!" the emperor saw it, and his eyes lit up.

This praise can not be without the slightest water, because this thousand blessing map, each blessing word, are different from other blessing words, but also composed of a landscape map, the artistic conception is vast, it is clearly everyone's work.

It really took a lot of effort to have such a thousand blessing words to have this level.

With the emperor's praise, several ministers on the lookers naturally followed suit, and they might usually pat the emperor's ass, but this praise was all convincing.

"This picture of the Marquis, the space is scattered, the density is appropriate, not only the level is extremely high, in the view of the ministers, at least there is the level of Wang Ke of the previous dynasty, and its filial piety, but also on it, can be described as an immortal work. ”

Wang Ke's father and son are famous for their paintings, and Wang Ke has the highest level, and he is the first in history to give the baron for his paintings.

That's a lot of praise.

When King Qi heard this, he couldn't help but change color.

"Your Majesty, the banquet is ready. Then a eunuch came running and reported.

The emperor coughed, motioned to Gonggong Zhao to put away the Qianfu Tu, and said to the officials and lords present: "The ministers have worked hard, and after the feast, everyone can go home for the New Year." ”

said, but his expression was cold: "However, I have two things, one joy and one worry, or before the Chinese New Year, it is better to solve it first." ”

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that my rice won't be fragrant. ”
