First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 449
...

After Li Xiuwan's persuasion, the two finally agreed to go in, but after entering the hall, the atmosphere immediately made Gao Chong shudder, and he looked at Li Xiuwan unconsciously.

I saw Li Yuangao sitting at the head, and Concubine Wan Gui sat beside her with a blank expression.

Li Jiancheng knelt in the middle of the hall, bowed his head and said nothing.

The left and right are full of acquaintances, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuqi, Li Yuanji, Princess Qi Yang, Princess Xiangyang, Dou Dan, Chai Shao, Princess Gaomi, Duan Lun and others.

Gao Chong came late and missed the main event. The husband and wife pulled the three-year-old Gao Yanxing to salute.

Concubine Wan Gui finally showed a smiling face when she saw Gao Chong and his wife, she nodded slightly as a signal, Li Yuan also nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Take a seat."

Gao Yanxing has always been naughty, but now he seems to feel that the atmosphere is not right, he just holds Li Xiuwan's hand tightly and dare not speak.

Seeing this, Li Shimin said directly: "Liu Niang, Cheng Qian and the others are playing in the side hall, let Yan Xing go over and join us."

Li Xiuwan nodded in response when she heard the words, and handed Gao Yanxing to the servant to take him there.

Everyone was silent, Gao Chong just felt very uncomfortable, and was about to speak, but Li Xiuwan pulled his sleeve to signal him to shut up, Gao Chong had to hold back.

Since Li Shimin spoke to break the silence, he was embarrassed to pretend to be stupid, and said directly: "Aye, today is the concubine's birthday, why don't we let this matter go first, how about having a banquet first?"

I don't know whether Li Yuan is waiting for this step, or giving Li Shimin face, after Li Shimin opened his mouth, Li Yuan snorted coldly, "Go down".

After Li Jiancheng came out of the palace in embarrassment, Li Yuan looked at Concubine Wan Gui, "Don't worry, my dear concubine, I will vent your anger on you. Today is a beautiful day, how about not mentioning that rebellious son?" He spoke with great respect to Concubine Wan Gui.

Concubine Wan Gui replied naturally, "Your Majesty can make the decision."

Seeing that Concubine Wan Gui is still so knowledgeable, Li Yuan felt even more indebted.

Concubine Wan Gui was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, unlike Concubine Yin De, who was an ignorant and unreasonable shrew.

Before Yin Ashu committed a murder, Li Yuan issued an order to take back the house and order him to return to his hometown. Concubine Yin De, an ignorant woman who thought she was deeply loved, actually made a big fuss with Li Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan was annoyed by this, and she decreed to deprive her Concubine De of her title, demote her to be a talented person, and put her in the cold palace.

After Li Jiancheng left, the atmosphere became lively, the maids shuttled back and forth, busy, the desks were filled with delicacies, and everyone was dressed up to attend.

Li Yuan nodded his head, singing loudly, "Today we are all from our own family, so there is no need to be formal." The beauties entered one after another, the hall was full of singing and dancing, and the banquet was full of toasts and cups, so happy.

Li Zhiyun is a playful person, and it was just a song and dance, so he came out and said with a smile: "Today is my family, I will not be too polite, these songs and dances are boring, why don't we come to a treasure appreciation meeting how?"

"Oh? Treasure Appreciation Conference? Goro, tell me, what treasure are you rewarding?" Li Shimin said with great interest.

Concubine Wan Gui looked at Li Yuan beside her and covered her mouth with a smile, "Qi Jian is a kid who likes to mess around, what treasure does he have?"

Li Zhiyun, courtesy name Jihong, because he was thin and weak when he was young, his baby name was Qijian, which means praying for health and pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

Seeing Li Zhiyun's escape, Li Yuan smiled with his beard and said: "This kid is still a little precious. I like his carved bow, but that kid just can't bear it hahaha."

Li Yuan's voice was loud, and everyone laughed when they heard these words.
Li Zhiyun blushed a little, and said with his head held high: "Who doesn't know that I, Li Wulang, are known as the three masters in the world, shooting, calligraphy, and chess. These three are my treasures. Aye can't win people's love." .

Seeing Li Zhiyun being so shameless, everyone laughed again. Gao Chong clicked his tongue and praised: "The Ministry of Wengong praised my high-style regular script as King Kong glaring, and a strong man punching. I dare not say that the book is perfect."

Wen Daya first served as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and later as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Daoxingtai, Shaanxi Province, which was called the Ministry of Industry and Engineering at that time.

Li Zhiyun smiled sheepishly when he heard the words, "Compared to Youzhi's brother-in-law, he is naturally inferior."

After finishing speaking, Li Zhiyun hurriedly said: "But this treasure appreciation conference is not to reward my treasure, but to reward your treasure, no, it's my mother's treasure now.

I just read the list of gifts, and I'm very curious about those birthday gifts, what does the fourth brother's coral tree look like, and what does your second brother's white jade deer look like."

After listening to Li Zhiyun's words, Concubine Wan Gui reprimanded her: "Don't be rude to pray for health, no matter what birthday gift, it's a heartfelt gift, and A Niang likes it all."

"Hey", Li Yuan stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, there is a festival of offering gifts, I also want to open my eyes and see what good things these boys have."

Li Zhiyun was even more excited when he heard the words, and clapped his hands.

Although this boy is a concubine, he has no chance to be the crown prince, and has no interest in military affairs, but he has a bright and outgoing personality, is very popular, and loves to play and make trouble. What he said just now is not persuasive bragging. famous.

Now the trajectory has changed, Li Zhiyun has survived, as the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, although he is not as good at fighting as Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, and Li Daoxuan, what is rare is that he maintains the heart of a child, maybe he will really leave a "" The reputation of "Three Great Kings".

Li Zhiyun first presented his birthday gift to his mother like a treasure, it was a pair of birthday characters composed of round white jade, crystal clear, exquisite, very gorgeous and dazzling.

Li Zhiyun said happily: "This is made of white jade chess pieces polished by myself. I made it with my favorite chess piece and dedicated it to my mother. I hope my mother likes it too."

Concubine Wan Gui was very satisfied and nodded, "Okay, okay, my son likes everything I prepared for my mother."

At this time, Li Shimin said with emotion: "Aye, noble concubine, you may not know something. When I went to look for Wulang several times, I saw him polishing these jades, and his hands were worn out. I guess the flags have been polished several times. It's been a month."

Concubine Chu was born in Jingzhao Wei's wife, according to her seniority, she was the younger sister of Gao Chong's concubine Wei Gui.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Chu Princess Wei Shi glanced at Li Zhiyun and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty took four months."

Everyone was very moved when they heard the words, and praised Li Zhiyun for his filial piety, and Concubine Wan Gui burst into tears, "Idiot...".

"Well, it's very good, filial piety is commendable." Li Yuan nodded and praised: "Reward, I want to reward heavily, Wang De passed the decree, Chu Wang Li Zhiyun was appointed the governor of Yangzhou, and the sixteen prefectures including Chang, Run, Hai, Chu, Shu, etc. The military is not an official".

Wang De bowed to accept the order, everyone was surprised and congratulated.

Li Yuanji's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he didn't smile. As a son of the eldest son, he was granted the title of king of Qi, and his fiefdoms in Shandong were only eight states, and his governor of Bingzhou was not as powerful as Li Zhiyun, the governor of Yangzhou. Feng, I'm really envious and jealous.

Next, Li Shimin's white jade deer, Li Yuanji's coral tree, Dou Dan's longevity picture and other items are common birthday gifts. Although deer are rare, they are somewhat clichéd after all.
