Chapter 1750: Banquet of officials
Days just blinked, and His Majesty's birthday was approaching.
For this reason, Zhu Houzhao issued a special order to ask all officials to enter the palace to celebrate their birthday. Not only that, His Majesty also prepared a banquet to invite all officials to have a big banquet.
There has never been a birthday to His Majesty, and he made wine in the palace. After all, this is a bit unsightly.
However, since Your Majesty has acted like having fun with me, if you object, it seems a bit unkind.
But then again, according to custom, since you make wine, there is no reason not to give gifts.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao issued an order to let the officials at will.
The meaning of casualness is that the Emperor actually doesn't mind this. It doesn't matter whether you give it or not. Your Majesty will not be furious about it, but please rest assured.
but……
Only fools believe it!
Don’t say that this is the birthday of Your Majesty today. Just say that in terms of human relationships and worldly affairs, others have given it. If you don’t, can you make sense? If others have given it, can you still give it a small gift?
Therefore, the imperial edict is the imperial edict, but rumors have been spread in private. Your Majesty will never give up on those who are not loyal enough.
Sometimes the word "loyalty" is not clear. If you say you are loyal, how can you be loyal? If you have to quantify it, anyone with a discerning eye will know whether it is loyal or not, it depends on this ceremony.
For a moment, the officials were worried and could not understand the standard of loyalty. How can loyalty be met? How many will others give?
Although everyone will survey each other, people's hearts are sinister. Who knows that people say that you can give it as you as you wish, and turn your head and prepare a big gift that ends up trampling you down?
This matter really takes some effort for many worldly people.
Zhu Houzhao obviously used all his intelligence here. He specially designed the process. When all the ministers who were going to celebrate their birthdays came in from the Meridian Gate, they had to give gifts first, and then from the Meridian Gate to the Supreme Hall. A long list of eunuchs came along. Which minister came and how many gifts were given. The eunuchs had to roar from the Meridian Gate and spread them all the way to the Supreme Hall.
In other words, how much do you give? Your Majesty can hear clearly in this relay singing.
In a sudden, the ministers who were planning to get away with it completely cut off their thoughts.
You still want to hide in the crowd so that His Majesty will not worry about you?
Don't think about it, Your Majesty clearly wants to settle the accounts clearly.
Now, many people jumped because they had an order again, saying that the Duke of Zhenguo was His Majesty's brother and needed to be the first to enter the palace.
This design is truly unique and finally everyone has seen Zhu Houzhao's intelligence, but... this intelligence is only used here.
Many people's faces turned green.
The Duke of Zhenguo went in first, and then he wanted to sing the name. The Duke of Zhenguo entered the palace to celebrate his birthday. Then he added another sentence, the Duke of Zhenguo gave him a birthday gift, with a million taels of silver.
Who doesn’t know that the Duke of the State has silver. Not to mention one million taels of silver, even ten million taels can be given. This is called a drop in the bucket, but what’s next? Then XXX will enter the palace to celebrate his birthday and offer a birthday gift of fifty taels of silver. Are you embarrassed? You’re just kidding.
Zhu Houzhao thought about every link very clearly. He was never careless at all. It was really a mechanism to calculate.
So early this morning, Ye Chunqiu got up early. He ate breakfast and ate more, because he didn't know when the birthday party at noon would start, so he had to fill his stomach first.
As for the birthday ceremony, he was the most comfortable, because no one in this world costs more money than Ye Chunqiu. This first gift must be his own, and it must be unprecedented.
Ye Chunqiu had already left all the unhappiness of the scholars behind, and then ordered people to prepare the car and slowly entered the palace.
The scholars outside the home seemed to have been persuaded to withdraw, but they heard that these people ran to Shuntian Mansion again.
Ye Chunqiu is naturally happy and comfortable. As long as these people don’t bother with him, Ye Chunqiu doesn’t care at all.
However, some scholars still made him angry. Now the capital is talking about his rebellion and traitors. The so-called three people become tigers. Once these people deliberately slander and spread rumors, it is definitely not a good thing for Ye Chunqiu.
But he still seemed to be fine, sitting in the car, leaning against the sofa, occasionally looking at the crowd on the street through the crystal window, occasionally pressing his chin, and falling into deep thought.
The capital is not a Qinglong. Although it is still under the feet of the emperor, it is naturally magnificent and has a large population, but there is always a stale atmosphere here. Ye Chunqiu does not like such a capital, but he knows that he is unable to change this place.
He sighed in his heart. After staying for a few streets, the coachman suddenly stopped the car and said, "Master, there seem to be some scholars in the distance. Do we... avoid it, turn the street and then walk?"
The coachman was obviously a little scared, and he had too many troubles recently.
Ye Chunqiu said indifferently: "What are you avoiding? You haven't done anything wrong, so keep going."
The coachman nodded and had to continue to move forward with his teeth.
When I walked forward, I heard a faint scolding.
Ye Chunqiu squinted his eyes and was already used to yelling at these yelling and scolding. He still leaned on the sofa casually, not knowing what he was thinking. On the desk, Ye Chunqiu's sword of the Pangluo was horizontal. No matter where he walked, Ye Chunqiu kept his sword away. But now, he no longer had the energy to hold the sword and rush out of the car to argue with the students.
He sighed and couldn't help thinking: "Or, I, Ye Chunqiu, are no longer the Ye Chunqiu we used to be."
He sneered, just shook his head.
When I arrived at the Meridian Gate, I just got off the car and found that many ministers were waiting.
Ye Chunqiu is the first place that His Majesty has long been oral, and of course he is at the closest position to the Meridian Gate.
When Ye Chunqiu walked forward, Jiang Mian, Wang Hua and others also arrived. Ye Chunqiu went over to salute one by one. Wang Hua looked at him and said with a smile: "Chunqiu, don't go too far. If this gift is too much, many people here will jump to the feet today."
It was rare that my father-in-law actually said a joke, and Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Students don't give real money."
"Ah..." Wang Hua was stunned for a moment.
Based on his understanding of His Majesty, His Majesty made Ye Chunqiu the first to enter the palace, which clearly wanted Ye Chunqiu to show his example.
Why, is there no ventilation between Your Majesty and Ye Chunqiu? Otherwise, how could Ye Chunqiu not give away real money? If he didn't give away this, wouldn't this Your Majesty have a vain plan?
Then can Your Majesty have a happy birthday today?
