Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

The birthday gifts prepared by the Crown Prince and King Zhao are both valuable and meaningful.

If the gifts prepared by the King of Han were careless, it would be fun.

Seeing that the King of Han was standing there indifferently, Yao Guangxiao hurriedly reminded him: "Your Highness, King of Han, don't you have anything to say?"

"Uh, I..."

The King of Han scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "My son, I wish my father a long life, may the pine trees and cranes prolong life, and may he be evergreen forever."

"As for the birthday gift, I have asked Yuan'er to prepare it and will present it later."

The Crown Prince and King Zhao stood at the back, discussing in low voices.

"Brother, I heard that the second child has only been focusing on hunting with eagles these past few days and has not taken Wanshou Festival to heart at all."

"I'm afraid it's a birthday gift, so there's no preparation at all, right?"

The prince smiled and said, "Third brother, you can't say that."

"As far as I know, Yuan'er has been out on the streets a lot these days and bought a lot of things."

"But what he bought were just ordinary things."

"There is no comparison with the birthday gifts carefully prepared by you and me."

"This time, the second child is probably going to fall over."

Emperor Yongle looked at King Han's embarrassment and said with relief, "Xu'er, it's okay."

"You can congratulate me on my birthday by my side, which is already the best gift."

"As for the treasure of money, it doesn't matter whether you are prepared or not."

"Come on, let's have a party!"

Emperor Yongle winked at Yao Guangxiao and signaled him to announce the opening of the banquet.

Yao Guangxiao stepped forward, cleared his throat and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a high-pitched shout came from outside the hall, "Wait a minute!"

All the ministers unanimously turned their heads and took a closer look.

It was Lu Yuan who showed up, striding in with Gu Qingwan arm in arm.

"The prince is here!"

The ministers couldn't help but whisper, "Could it be that the King of Han really prepared a generous gift for His Majesty?"

"Well, I think it's very possible."

"The prince's brain is one of the geniuses in this world."

"Any one of his inventions would make His Majesty very fond of it."

"I wonder what inventions the prince has prepared for today's Wanshou Festival?"

"Perhaps, we can create quite a storm in the imperial city again!"

"and many more……"

"Isn't this gift a bit too much?"

Lu Yuan was followed by Lingju, Xiling, Siren and other women.

Each woman carried two poles on her shoulders, carrying about a dozen gift boxes.

Altogether, more than 60 kinds of gifts were piled up into a small mountain in front of Emperor Yongle.

Lu Yuan took a step forward, knelt down coolly and said, "My grandson, Lu Yuan, I wish you long happiness and good health!"

"Yuan'er, you..."

Emperor Yongle was a little overwhelmed by this mountain-like gift.

After being stunned for a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "What are you doing?"

"Isn't the battle a bit too loud?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, this is the birthday gift specially prepared for Your Majesty by your grandson."

Lu Yuan solemnly said: "Over the years, for the sake of all the officials performing their duties, for the happiness of all the people in the world, and for the longevity of Liegan's career, the emperor has never taken his own affairs to heart."

"Almost in the blink of an eye, this year has already been the emperor's 62nd birthday..."

"So my grandson took the courage to prepare a birthday gift for the emperor from one year old to 62 years old."

After hearing this, the officials were suddenly shocked.

Have you prepared a birthday gift for everyone from your first birthday to your 62nd birthday?
This is simply unheard of and unprecedented.

Emperor Yongle was also stunned for a long time, unable to recover for a long time.

Before he could speak, Lu Yuan took the first gift from Gu Qingwan and stepped forward.

"This is my grandson's first gift for the Emperor."

"When the emperor was born, the world was in chaos and war was raging."

"Master Hongwu was busy fighting with Chen Tuzi, and the military situation was so fierce that he didn't even have time to name the emperor."

"My grandson has specially prepared a Pan Yuan gold lock for the emperor."

"Don't forget the meaning, and the immortal life will be prosperous!"

Immediately, under the shocked eyes of the ministers and officials.

Lu Yuan began to open each gift and presented it to the emperor.

When presenting the gift, he also specifically told the experiences and deeds of Emperor Yongle that year.

And the gifts offered are closely related to these experiences.

Starting from the No. 12 gift, Emperor Yongle was deeply moved.

He couldn't say any more words, he just nodded his head blankly.

While listening to Lu Yuan's birthday gift, he recalled his life.

When they were young, most of them joined vassals and conquered the Tartars in the north.

When he was middle-aged, he was forced to raise an army, and Jing Nan was unable to seize the throne.

After he ascended the throne, he conquered Mobei from all directions and established Yongle.

In his later years, he managed the border and strengthened the country and enriched the people.

From Lu Yuan's words, Emperor Yongle watched his life's achievements as if on a horse.

When it comes to the moving parts, all the officials could not help but shed tears and sobs could be heard everywhere.

"My grandson's last birthday gift to the Emperor."

"This is the year the emperor celebrates his 62nd birthday."

Lu Yuan said solemnly, "The emperor moved his own capital to Yanjing to conquer the Tartars externally and to appease the people internally, laying a solid foundation for Liegan's eternal empire."

"My grandson would like to express his congratulations by presenting the emperor's ten greatest achievements since he ascended the throne."

"First, 380 million hectares of new farmland were added across the country. This is so many acres that it has not been seen in a thousand years!"

"Second, taxes are given as gifts. Since the third year of Yongle, a total of 160 million shi of rice, grains, and beans have been imported!"

"Thirdly, Taicang is rich and has mountains of grain. There are as many as 390 million shi of grain stored in various warehouses!"

"Fourth, the number of people increases and the prefectures and counties are upgraded..."

Listen to Lu Yuan's various achievements read out loud and listen to these shocking figures.

The officials below were all deeply shocked, and then felt extremely honored.

These achievements were not accomplished by the emperor alone.

Rather, there is the power of each of their ministers in it.

The prince's words were not only for congratulations on his birthday.

How could it not be to commend them for their life-long contribution?
"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and the Liegan Dynasty will last forever!"

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

Seeing all the ministers kneeling on the ground in excitement.

Emperor Yongle couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Yuan'er, come..."

Lu Yuan put down his merit book and stepped forward respectfully.

Emperor Yongle directly waved his hand and hugged him into his arms.

"Yuan'er, you've taken the trouble."

"This is the best gift I have ever received in my life!"

"In this life, I will definitely take your gift today as a warning."

"As long as I am alive, I will never do anything to let down the people of Liegan!"

Seeing Emperor Yongle giving Lu Yuan a hug that symbolized the highest honor directly in front of the ministers.

The King of Han was so happy that his chin almost rose to the sky.

The Crown Prince and King Zhao on the side were so angry that they almost broke their teeth.

The total value of Lu Yuan's more than 60 gifts was not even one-tenth of the heavy gifts prepared by the two of them.

However, it happened to be delivered to the heart of my father, and he was so moved that he cried.

Both of them felt strong jealousy in their hearts.

Of course, I'm not jealous of Lu Yuan's intelligence.But he was jealous of the King of Han, why he had 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 leave, just sit next to the emperor!"

"Today, your Majesty will get drunk with you!"

This is the first time since Lu Yuan traveled to this world that he saw Emperor Yongle so happy.

Seeing Emperor Yongle moved to tears and unable to put down the gift he had prepared.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

This kind of trick is not uncommon in modern times.

In order to impress their girlfriends, many men prepare the same gifts for each other from one year old to those in their twenties.

But even if this is the case, girls may not be very satisfied.

Not to mention that the emperor was so moved that he cried and laughed at the same time.

From this, the conclusion can be drawn.

The spoiled little girls in modern times are more difficult to coax than the emperor.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Emperor Yongle drank several glasses of wine, and suddenly stood up in a moment of great pride.

"Dear ladies, I have something to announce!"

"Everyone should be aware of the recent war between North Korea and China."

"The Tatar tribe led their troops to invade Kaiping, but were defeated by my troops from the Fifth Capital Division."

"In order to completely eradicate the remnant Tartars, I have decided that after the spring of next year, I will personally conduct a five-point expedition to Mobei and capture and kill the bandit chief Alutai in one fell swoop!"

As soon as these words came out, the civil servants hurriedly knelt down to congratulate him.

"I wish your majesty a prosperous military fortune and success!"

The military generals generously asked for battle one after another, vying to be the vanguard.

Among them, the most excited ones were naturally the King of Han and King Zhao.

They can't wait to go out with him and sweep across their old enemy Arutai.

Lu Yuan, who was beside Emperor Yongle, felt his heart suddenly tighten.

Is it finally coming?

According to parallel time and space, Emperor Yongle's five expeditions to Mobei were unsuccessful.

As a result, when Banshi returned to the court, he died of illness in Yumuchuan.

It seems that some things are already destined and irreversible.

No matter how hard I try, it's all in vain.

Just as Lu Yuan was sighing and drinking wine.

Yao Guangxiao suddenly stepped forward, bowed and said, "I dare you, Your Majesty, please think again."

"I have been observing the sky at night recently and saw that the emperor's energy is moving southward and the Beidou is dark. This omen is not conducive to our army's northern expedition."

"Your Majesty, please consider it. It is better to recuperate first, strengthen the border, and wait for God's blessing in the future before setting off again."

Emperor Yongle was originally full of ambition and joy.

Yao Guangxiao poured cold water on him in public, and his face immediately showed displeasure.

"Hirotaka, what did you say?"

"I will suppress thieves and drive out the Tartars for the sake of the country. I will obey the law of Heaven and the will of the people."

"Are you talking like this to shake the morale of the army?"

"Wei Chen dare not."

Yao Guangxiao did not waver at all, and said solemnly, "Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have conquered the desert from all directions, sealed the wolf in Xu, and drank from the vast sea of ​​horses."

"But this time, it is indeed God's will that is not in his favor, and God is not willing to bless him."

"If your Majesty insists on sending troops, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

Emperor Yongle said angrily, "If I insist on sending troops, will I be defeated by the Tartars?!"

"No, Wei Chen didn't mean that."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head hastily and fearfully, "It's just..."

"Monk Yao, stop talking!"

The prince angrily shouted, "Quickly retreat!"

Yao Guangxiao was still worried and unwavering.

Emperor Yongle snorted coldly and dropped the wine cup on the table with a bang.

"My dear friends, I'm drunk, please leave."

After that, without waiting for the ministers to say goodbye, they turned around coldly and walked away.

This longevity banquet ended unhappy due to Yao Guangxiao's advice.

Lu Yuan returned to the mansion, always thoughtful.

It was because I was familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty in parallel time and space that I knew that the emperor's expedition would never come back.

But he knew the emperor's temper, so he did not choose to persuade him.

Unexpectedly, Monk Yao actually spoke to dissuade him on his behalf.

He was really just watching the sky at night and saw that God's will was not going his way.

Or is it true that he is as capable as the legend says and can predict the future?

And using the art of divination, he saw the emperor's future?

Just as Lu Yuan was thinking deeply, a servant knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yao came to visit me and said he wanted to see you."

"Oh?"

Lu Yuan was slightly startled and said hurriedly, "Hurry up and serve tea!"

He immediately set off and headed straight to the lobby.

Yao Guangxiao sat on the Taishi chair, his heart closed and his eyes closed, motionless.

Lu Yuan walked into the hall and said with a smile, "Yao Xiangguo, what kind of wind brings you here?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here to beg you."

Yao Guangxiao said solemnly, "Just now at the Wanshou Banquet, His Majesty said that he would conquer Mobei five times."

"All the ministers flattered me and asked for a fight. Only you, like me, look worried and unhappy."

"Yao wanted to ask, does the prince have any feelings?"

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and said with a slight smile, "Yao Xiangguo, I don't like to beat around the bush."

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Okay, then Yao will speak out."

Yao Guangxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "A few days ago, I watched the sky at night and divined the Big Dipper."

"The hexagram shows that your Majesty will have a hurdle in your life next year. If you can't get over it, you are likely to die."

"It just so happens that at this time, His Majesty has decided to personally conduct an expedition to Mobei."

"Your Majesty is already in his sixties this year. Although he is in good health, he has suffered many battle injuries over the years."

"Yao is worried that if His Majesty really goes on an expedition, the prophecy of the Big Dipper may very well come true."

Lu Yuan felt a hint of admiration in his heart.

It is rumored in later generations that the prime minister in black, Monk Yao, was able to do calculations and was proficient in divination.

Now it seems that this rumor is indeed true.

Even the emperor's life and death can be predicted so accurately.

Apart from himself, he is probably the only one in the entire Liegan Dynasty.

"Yao Xiangguo, to tell you the truth, I feel the same way."

Lu Yuan said solemnly, "I'm afraid that not only will your Majesty be unable to make any achievements this time on the expedition, he will also be very likely to fall into disgrace."

"But, you know the emperor, no one can change what he decides."

"Even if I try to persuade him, I may not be able to persuade the emperor to change his mind."

Yao Guangxiao sighed heavily and said bitterly, "What should we do?"

"Could it be that God doesn't bless your majesty, and God doesn't bless me Lie Gan?"

"Don't be anxious, Prime Minister Yao."

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously, "Although I am powerless, it does not mean that there is no room for mediation in this matter."

After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.

The entire lobby was suddenly filled with strong dragon power.

After a moment, a ray of green light fell from the sky and transformed into a human form.

It was Lingju who showed up gracefully and sat next to Lu Yuan with an expressionless face. (End of chapter)
