"Since today is celebrating the New Year, there is no need to be formal. Let's all sit down."

Li Shimin's words also set the rules for this opera house, which is called the ancestor of Wanyuan by later generations:
There is no need to kneel and salute here, just make a bow.

At the musicians' table, musicians from Jiaofang Division played the majestic and breathtaking "Qin Wang Breaking the Battle" as the opening music.

This song was originally composed by the soldiers of the army when Li Shimin pacified Liu Wuzhou in the third year of Wude.They filled in new lyrics for the old song, and the lyrics said: "Shoulu resigned from the head of state, and the prime minister will punish the traitors. The salty song "Broken Array Music" is for the people of Taiping."

Using the special structure inside the theater, the sound effect is greatly enhanced, even the people sitting in the last row can clearly hear the sound on the stage.

After the song was played, the excited subjects of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help shouting "Long Live the Tang Dynasty, Long Live Your Majesty" together, with great momentum.

Li Shimin quietly took Empress Changsun's hand, pointed down and said: "Guanyin maidservant, this is the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, it is my great fortune to have such a group of loyal and loyal ministers to assist me, the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty! "

Empress Changsun knelt down on the ground: "The concubine congratulates your majesty, congratulates your majesty. But the concubine feels that it is because your majesty has a good son!"

Seeing Li Wenbin who was drinking with Cheng Yaojin and other generals, Li Shimin smiled: "This son of mine can surprise me every time. Although not all good things, but generally speaking, it is still good."

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, I think I can make you proud."

"By the way, Guanyin servant girl. I have an idea to give Wen Bin's biological mother a title. What do you think?"

"The concubine thinks it should be like this."

Li Wenbin was the son of Li Shimin and his maid, and almost the entire Tang court knew this.

Li Wenbin has no embarrassment about this, and has never denied it—for him, the blood lineage theory is simply absurd.

If the emperor's son is better, how can there be so many foolish and tyrants from ancient times to the present?
Just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care either. Before Li Wenbin became the King of Qin, Empress Changsun also found several marriages for him.

Moreover, they were all looking for the daughters of those famous families, but when they heard that they were proposing to Li Wenbin, they all shook their heads like a rattle.

"Can the tiger girl match with an adulterer?"

This is what those aristocratic families replied to Empress Changsun, and they made it very clear: they would never marry their daughter to an adulterer.

The Empress Changsun was so angry that she was half dead, but there was nothing she could do.

On the contrary, after Li Wenbin heard about these things, he comforted her instead, saying that he would never marry a daughter with five surnames and seven Wangs as his wife, even if they kneel in front of him in the future, it would be useless.

These words aroused the dissatisfaction of the children of Qiwang with five surnames who served in the court.

And today happened to be the New Year, so these people tried their best to embarrass Li Wenbin in public.

Cui Zhen, the eldest grandson of the Cui family in Qinghe, pointed to Li Wenbin as the host and said: "Listen well, no matter what King Qin says later, don't make trouble, let's see how he smooths things over!"

A disciple of Fan Yang's Lu family hesitated: "Isn't this bad? The king of Qin obviously has the support of his superiors. Wouldn't we embarrass the emperor by doing this?"

"What are you afraid of? Even if the emperor doesn't have the support of our five surnames and Qiwang, he won't be able to sit firmly in this country! How can a mere liaison make His Majesty turn against us?"

At this time Li Wenbin walked onto the stage, and someone moved a table and a small gavel for him, but I don't know what it was for.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Li Shimin looked like he was waiting to see a good show: "Guanyin maid, how much benefit can Wen Bin get from those aristocratic families and foreign countries this time?"

"This... I don't know about the concubine either. But Wen Bin said that if it is less than 500 million coins, he will come to see him first."

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled.

"My Tang Dynasty's annual tax is only more than four million guan. He can get so much in one night? I don't believe it. As long as I can get another 200 million guan, I will be content."

The couple were chatting, and Li Wenbin tapped the wooden hammer: "Everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet! My first auction in the Tang Dynasty is about to begin."

Originally, the fact that he did such a thing in his capacity was a bit of a price drop, but he couldn't find a suitable talent for a while. With no other choice, Li Wenbin had no choice but to "rob the rich and help the poor" in person as the king of Qin.

auctions?
It was the first time for the people present to hear this term, and they thought it was very fresh.

Li Wenbin first introduced the rules of the auction, and then ordered someone to bring up an item.

This thing was placed on a wooden plate, covered with red silk cloth, no one could see what it was.

Li Wenbin said loudly: "The first auction item is..."

The sound of drums and hammers sounded at the right time, from slow to fast, making everyone tense up involuntarily.

"The first auction item is a glass car. The reserve price is [-] guan, and each bid must not be less than [-] guan!"

Li Wenbin lifted the silk cloth, and a glazed car gleaming all over appeared in front of everyone.

"hiss……"

There was a sound of gasping, and extremely greedy eyes cast on Liuli Che.

"I'll give you [-] guan!"

The person who spoke was a Chang'an merchant sitting in the back row. Li Wenbin didn't know him, but it didn't stop him from being happy: "[-] guan, is there a higher price?"

"Seventy thousand guan!"

"One hundred thousand!"

Empress Changsun in the box covered her face: "Crazy, all crazy! For such a thing that can't be eaten or drunk, you spent a hundred thousand guan? Are these people crazy?"

Li Shimin also felt annoyed and funny: "If those people know that the cost of this so-called treasure is only consistent money, they don't know what kind of expression they will have."

While the husband and wife were talking, the price of this glazed car had already been called to 30 guan.

"30 guan, 30 guan. Is there any higher bid than the Turkic envoy?"

This time the Turks also sent someone, and it was Li Wenbin's old friend, the one who lacked a pair of ears.

To Li Wenbin's surprise, Zhizhi didn't have any grievances towards him, at least he didn't show it.

Originally, he didn't want Zhishi to participate in the auction, but in the end he agreed.

"35 sticks!"

After Li Wenbin's ingenious words, the price was raised again and again.

"60 guan, congratulations, envoy. This treasure is yours now!"

After taking the glazed car from Li Wenbin, Zhi Shi grinned to his ears.

Although he had to pay the equivalent of 65 cows and sheep or male and female slaves, he felt it was worth it.
