fake prince

Chapter 637 Thousand Blessings

It's not that Duan Yanxing has never met Daihou, but looking at the young man in front of him wearing the royal uniform and hanging five beams from far to near, Duan Yanxing was speechless for a moment.

"Daihou really has the rite of a king."

It wasn't just him, anyone who had seen Daihou before or who hadn't, all of them were astonished when they saw this Daihou coming.

This is Daihou!
This is the son of the prince!
As expected of the grandson of the emperor, his bearing far exceeds that of the kings!

It's not about to enter the palace right away, it's not the time to whisper to each other at this moment, I'm afraid that the officials who are familiar with each other will be unable to hold back, and they will sigh with emotion with their good colleagues.

"Master Hou, please come this way." Duan Yanxing restrained his mind, greeted him from the entrance of the main hall, and guided Su Ziji who came up to the hall.

Because Su Ziji came here for the first time, he didn't know where to stand, and Duan Yanxing needed to guide him to the position. Duan Yanxing directly led Su Ziji to the upper position, where he was at the head of the kings.

Many officials entered the hall and stood in order according to their official positions, but they still couldn't help but peek at Su Ziji in front of him.

"The Emperor is here—"

The door of the West Pavilion was opened, three silent whips were heard, drums and chimes were struck, Huang Zhong Da Lu, the music was loud, and the emperor slowly walked towards the throne.

With a smile on his face, the emperor stood in front of the throne for a moment, and then Fang Duan sat down.

"Le Zhi, salute!"

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

After Shan shouted, he almost stopped breathing, and the whole hall fell silent, and a needle could be heard.

Although it has been used for 20 years, the emperor still blushed a little today, his eyes swept over the kings, and then glanced at the Daihou.

This is the great position, who can control people's honor, disgrace, life and death with a single word, nothing can replace it.

The emperor stretched out his hands to show that he was exempt from courtesy, and the eunuch sang: "Give the king of Qi, the king of Shu, the king of Lu, and the princes to sit on their behalf."

"My son (grandson) minister, thank you!"

The four thanked each other, and there was a commotion among the officials. It seems that the Daihou has a high status in the emperor's mind.

"All the ministers!" The emperor withdrew his smile and sat firmly on the throne, his breath was calm, his face was rosy, and he didn't look seriously ill at all.

Eunuch Zhao knew in his heart that this was the effect of the small redemption pill, but the officials and lords standing below didn't know it, and they peeked at it, all of them were full of thoughts.

Just listen to the sonorous voice of the emperor: "Emperor Taizu was born and died to create a foundation. This is well known, and I won't say much about it."

"Taizu is not only about martial arts. He reigned for 11 years, revived the decadence of hundreds of years, worked hard all day long, pursued governance diligently, and worked tirelessly all night. I have witnessed these with my own eyes. It is very hard and tiring, and I have lost a lot, but I dare not say that it has created a generation of prosperity, reformed the bureaucracy, and equalized taxation. So far, it has finally achieved some small achievements."

"Ask yourself if you can be right with Taizu, and right with Sheji."

The emperor turned his eyes on his sons, and saw that they all looked dumb, and couldn't help but feel discouraged. What he wanted to say stopped in his mouth, and changed the subject: "These are not only the achievements of me alone, but also the achievements of all of you. The hard work of the servants."

"It's been a year of hard work, and a banquet is given this year. I think it's okay to not stick to the usual etiquette."

After a while, the bells, Lu Xin, and the clang sounded together. In the sound of the music, all the officials thanked each other, and the ceremony officials shouted: "Stop the music - enjoy the banquet and pay the tribute!"

According to the rules, on the first day of the new year's celebration, the officials will reward the nobles, that is to say, all the officials will be rewarded, and the lords and royal families will pay the tribute.

The emperor first rewarded the hundreds of officials according to the merits of this year. There was a weird atmosphere at first, but it suddenly became lively. There should be atmosphere in the New Year.

When all the officials have been rewarded, it's time for the lords and the royal family to pay tribute.

Needless to say, the meritorious lord advanced to pay tribute, it was just a roll call, and no gifts were actually placed on the hall, but it was different when it was the turn of the royal family.

"The king of Shu paid tribute to a Linlang jade screen! It uses the almost lost double-sided embroidery of Linlang. It required nine virgin embroiderers, and it took a year to embroider. There is a picture of the fairy girl's birthday..."

"The king of Qi paid tribute to a pearl shirt for prolonging life and longevity! It is made of tens of thousands of pearls with similar skin..."

"King Lu pays tribute..."

The kings presented their New Year’s presents one by one, at least three of them. The eunuchs not only called the names, but also showed the gifts to the emperor and the people present one by one. Each one was hard to find. Give a good face.

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

Qi Wang's heart fell into his stomach immediately, and he had time to listen to other people's tribute gifts, especially staring at Daihou.

When it was the turn of the Marquis, when he heard that the tribute was a pair of pearls, a pair of auspicious coral ornaments, and a picture of a thousand blessings, he immediately curled his lips secretly.

"Although this picture of thousand blessings has won him a reputation of filial piety, this gift is also a bit shabby."

"After the new year, Daihou is no longer a newcomer, can you ask the censor to give him some eye drops?"

Don't look at everyone saying that filial piety is not filial piety, the emperor is rich all over the world, what is there?All the credible people are dead, not to mention the former Wei Dynasty, but the Taizu. A Hou Ye was deprived of [-] households and demoted to be an uncle because the gold he paid as a tribute was a little bad.

This is still Taizu thinking about his merits. If it was the previous dynasty, it would be normal to completely seize the title.

So who dares to be gifted?

The king of Qi was thinking about it, but the emperor was obviously more interested in the gift that was presented as a tribute to the marquis. After the eunuch shouted the gift, he said: "Bring me the picture of thousand blessings. This is my emperor's grandson's painting. I want to take a good look at it." See it."

Eunuch Zhao went down in person, took the picture of thousand blessings from the young eunuch, and held it in front of the emperor, and the eunuch helped to unfold it. Now, not only the emperor could see it, but also those who were a few ranks closer were able to watch it.

"Okay!" The emperor looked at it, and his eyes lit up.

This claim does not take the slightest water, because in this painting of thousands of blessings, each character of blessing is different from other characters of blessing, and it forms a landscape painting with a vast artistic conception, which is clearly the work of everyone.

It took a lot of hard work to achieve this level with such a thousand blessing characters.

With the emperor's praise, the several ministers onlookers naturally followed suit. Usually they might be flattering the emperor, but this time the praise was all sincerely convinced.

"The space in this picture of the Marquis Dai is scattered and the density is appropriate. Not only is it of a very high level, but from the perspective of a minister, it is at least as good as Wang Ke of the previous dynasty, and his filial piety is even more important. It can be called an unworldly work."

Wang Ke, father and son, are well-known for their paintings, and Wang Ke has the highest level. It can be said that he is the first in history to be awarded a baron for his paintings.

This is extremely high praise.

King Qi couldn't help but change his face when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, the banquet is ready." At this moment, a eunuch ran over and reported.

The emperor coughed and signaled Eunuch Zhao to put away the thousand blessings. Facing the present officer Lord, he said, "All the ministers have worked hard. After the banquet, everyone can go home to celebrate the New Year."

As she said that, her expression turned cold: "However, I have one joy and one worry, and it's better to settle it before the Chinese New Year."

"Or else, I'm afraid my food won't taste good."
