It is said that the prodigal son does not change money when he turns back. When Shu Suntong was very good and satisfied with everyone in his life, he really loved his daughter-in-law after going through a change.

He had no son or daughter in his life, but he adopted Wang Lin once, and regarded Wang Lin as his own, and he treated this daughter-in-law as if he was his own.

In fact, sometimes, it is really easy to make an old man happy. As long as you obey a little, the old man can't help but smile.

Every time he sees Wu Ya, Shusun Tong, the old master who has always admired Zhou Li, always feels that Zhou Li is the most powerful existence at this time.

Just imagine, even a little princess who is so unrestrained and ignorant of the world can change Zhou Li, who else in this world can change.

Therefore, rather than saying that Shusun Tong regards Wu Ya as nothing more than Wu Ya, it is better to say that he regards Shusun Tong as a work of art that has been transformed by Zhou rituals.

Faced with such a work of art, how can the old master who has been pursuing Zhou etiquette all his life not love and love it more?

"Thank you uncle for your concern, daughter-in-law will take good care of herself!"

Wu Ya pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly.

"Okay... okay... let's go..."

Shu Suntong nodded, his face full of pampering.

At this time, everyone had already walked into Xianyang Chenggong, and the voices became louder and louder in all directions.

Ying Shou looked at the lifeless and well-behaved officials behind him, suddenly stopped, turned around and waved to everyone, frowning, "Come here!"

Seeing this, Shusun Tong and the officials hurried forward, gathered around the emperor, bowed and said, "What is your majesty's order?"

Ying Shou was speechless, and said: "My dear family, who can tell me what day is today?"

The ministers looked astonished, full of puzzlement, and said in unison: "It's New Year's Eve!"

Ying Shou spread his hands and said, "Oh, you also know that today is the New Year's Eve. Look, the people around are cheering for you and welcoming you. Let's look at you again, all of you are sour-faced!"

"Oh, all of you are officials, you can't be honored with this group of people, right? Only the state banquet, or the banquet at your house, can make you smile?"

"I know that up to now, you still can't get rid of the idea of ​​the order of superiority and inferiority in your mind, but you have to remember one thing, I don't have eternal nobles in Daqin, so put away your aristocratic ways."

"Chinese New Year should look like Chinese New Year, hurry up and congratulate the people around you!"

While speaking, Ying Shou was speechless.

He really didn't expect that even today, it is still difficult for these people to get rid of their bad habits.

But as soon as his password came out, the officials were immediately forced.

Didn't they say that they have to distinguish between superior and inferior, and look down on the common people.The point is that they are not at the same level, and there is no common topic between them, so how to congratulate them?

On weekdays, they congratulate each other, not to say that you have made great achievements today, or that you have been appreciated by the emperor today, or that you have been promoted today, or that you are so-and-so.

But now let them go to congratulate the people, what are they congratulating?Do you want to go up and say, congratulations, let the emperor miss you?Isn't this a joke?

Seeing the ministers standing there in a daze, Ying Shou's eyes turned cold, and he said, "What are you all doing in a daze? Go!"

"You are all the parents of the people. It's the Chinese New Year. As parents, don't you express it?"

All the ministers looked at Ying Shou with bitter faces, only to hear Xiao He smile bitterly and say: "His Majesty the Emperor, it's not that the ministers are unwilling, the key is that the ministers won't either!"

After Xiao He finished speaking, all the ministers also put on a bitter face and nodded quickly.

Including Shusuntong, although this old man is very strict in his daily life, he treats the people of the world really well, and he never puts on airs.

As long as you are polite, there is no distinction between high and low in front of him. It is true what Confucius said, there is no distinction between teaching and learning.

It's just that he has never done this to congratulate the people, and for a while, he didn't know how to start.

Looking at the appearance of the officials, Ying Shou was completely speechless, feeling that he had misunderstood these people!

But when you think about it, it's really the first time that an official or an emperor is paying New Year's greetings to the people until he comes here.

"Look at you, I usually give you one by one, but now that it's good, this little thing will make you stumped. Look at me!"

Ying Shou looked at the crowd speechlessly, then stretched out his hand to pull his face, and said with a smile, "Look clearly and smile. Confucius said, it's not surprising that there are many people who are polite. Greeting people with a smiling face is the greatest courtesy, understand?"

The officials were stunned for a while, did Confucius say this?Why doesn't it seem to be recorded in the book!

But now they don't have time to think about these things, one by one stared at Ying Shou, only to see Ying Shou walking out of the crowd, and came to an old man covering his ears in the middle of the noise, clasped his fists and bowed He saluted and said with a smile: "This old man, congratulations, happy new year. Dare to ask..."

Ying Shou was looking for someone to demonstrate at random. Seeing that this was an old man who was just right, he immediately stepped forward to pay his respects as a junior.

As a result, before the New Year's greetings were finished, the old man's eyes widened, and he fell straight behind him.

"Hey, this old man..."

Ying Shou was taken aback, and hurried forward to catch the old man, only to see that the old man was trembling all over, rolling his eyes wildly, and even Ying Shou could hardly hear the small voice clearly in this noisy city.

I just heard him shout: "Emperor... Emperor... Emperor... Emperor... Emperor... Emperor worship... worship me..."

Before he finished speaking, the whole person passed out from excitement.

That's right, this is really passed out, and passed out from excitement.

In history, there has never been a lack of kings who respect the virtuous and the corporal, but the king is the virtuous, and it is those great sages who are respected, not the people.

Who has ever heard of this world, there is a king who treats the people with great courtesy?

This old man is also over 60 years old, a man of Jiazi, in this age when people live in ancient times, he is really an old antique, how can he bear such a strong excitement?

This is not to be excited to death, but to pass out from excitement, which is already considered remarkable.

"What's going on, imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor!"

The surrounding officials hurriedly gathered around, seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

Ying Shou looked innocent, feeling ashamed and thrown home.

He tried his best to teach his ministers how to congratulate and pay New Year's greetings, but it never occurred to him that how could this ordinary common people bear his worship?

Now he was really embarrassed to the point of embarrassment. Seeing the gathering of officials, he waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, take this old man to the palace, let him wake up first, and then send him out of the palace gate!"

With that said, Ying Shou handed the old man over to two guards to support him, got up and led the officials, and left with his face covered.

Shame, so shameful.

Chapter 758 The Emperor's New Year Greetings

The officials followed behind the emperor, and they couldn't help but smile knowingly on their faces.

There have been many times when the emperor made jokes, but they were all jokes because of others.

Although it has also become the talk of many people after dinner, compared with today's, it is definitely not worth mentioning.

Now it is deep winter, and after the Chinese New Year, every household has to spend the winter at home. It is not difficult to imagine that the emperor's embarrassing incident today will probably usher in countless jokes.

At this moment, there was a burst of gloating in the hearts of the officials for no reason.

I have to say that sometimes it's not that they are not close enough to the people, it's just that their status is there. The more close they are to the people, the more disturbed the people are.

In addition to anxiety, it is excitement. Sometimes, it is more likely to cause problems. Therefore, everyone can only perform their own duties, and the well water does not violate the river water.

But everyone understands this truth, but today the emperor is happy because of the festival, but he forgot it. This joke, the emperor can't get rid of it all his life.

Ying Shou hurried away with his group of officials, and soon crossed the main street of Xianyang South City, and arrived under the imperial city.

Coming to the top of the city, here, the dinner party has already been prepared, and countless maids interspersed in it.

Standing here and looking around, there are already no defenders in the city of Xianyang. It should be because all the defenders, led by Xu Chu and Li Yuanba, are interspersed in the city, beating gongs and drums, creating excitement.

In the city, the bustle continued, and the new year continued, without any confusion due to the episode just now.

Ying Shou, who was guilty of being a thief, was so ashamed that he straightened his clothes quickly, and stood on the top of the wall, with a smile on his face again, facing the new year with a happy smile.

At this moment, the sky has completely darkened.

However, tonight in Xianyang City, the night is truly as bright as day. On the entire street of Xianyang, bonfires are burning everywhere, and there are many blank spaces.

What's more, a huge fire was burned, one after another, so that there was no dark place in the whole Xianyang.

While Ying Shou was watching the prosperity of Xianyang, the officials behind him had already boarded the imperial city tower with their families.

Ying Shou stretched out his hand and rubbed his throat, coughed twice, and then cleared his throat. Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting, which turned into waves and spread in all directions.

This sound really exhausted all his strength, maybe the sound could not spread throughout Xianyang City, but it could still be heard in half of Xianyang City.

For a moment, all the sounds of gongs and drums disappeared from all directions, and the entire Xianyang City fell into silence for an instant, and everyone looked towards this side.

This time, Ying Shou's voice became clearer, even if it spread throughout Xianyang City, it was possible.

After all, [-] combat power will not only bring about an increase in strength, but also changes in body organs.

Ying Shou's voice is completely better than hundreds of great speakers of later generations.

In later generations, it is said that Zhang Fei was angry and drove back a million soldiers.

This sounds a bit bragging, but if it is placed on Ying Shou's body, it is really possible to do it.

Seeing that the whole of Xianyang had completely calmed down, Ying Shou smiled and said loudly again: "All the subjects of Great Qin, I am Ying Shou, the Emperor of Great Qin!"

"I was enthroned last year. However, last year there was a lot of war and chaos. The people of our Great Qin Dynasty had no means of living, no clothes to cover their bodies, and no food to eat."

"I was tossed around in various battlefields, and I couldn't help the people of Daqin to live a prosperous life. This is my fault!"

"This year is the first year of peace set for my Great Qin since I ascended the throne. From today onwards, my Great Qin will be peaceful and prosperous forever."

"Here, I am very happy to see the lights of thousands of families, the fragrance of the five grains during the New Year's Eve dinner, and the thick smoke of cooking rice."

"This is my Great Qin's blessing, this is my Great Qin's happiness. Here, I congratulate my Great Qin Wannian, congratulate Great Qin Ziming, peace and prosperity every year!"

"It's New Year's Eve, everyone hasn't eaten for a day, right? The New Year's Eve banquet starts now!"

As Ying Shou's voice fell, Xu Chu and Li Yuanba jumped up on both sides of the main street below, shouting loudly: "The new year is starting, beat the gongs and drums!"

"Bang bang bang..."

"Clang clang..."

For a while, the noisy voice sounded again.

Countless people followed suit, pushing the excitement of the New Year's Eve to its peak.

Ying Shou looked at this scene, shook his head and smiled, and turned his head to see that the officials behind him were stunned, as if they didn't expect that the emperor could say such a dignified remark.

"Do you think it's absurd for me, as an emperor, to be so disregarding my status?"

Looking at the appearance of the officials, Ying Shou instantly saw through their thoughts, and immediately smiled and said.

"Don't look at me with such eyes, what is being close to the people, this is called being close to the people. As a human being, sometimes you have to be more down-to-earth."

"It's the New Year's Eve, and the excitement is the right way. Don't look like you have eaten Coptis chinensis, crying all over your face, and doing it like others owe you!"

While speaking, Ying Shou spoke again, preaching to the officials.

"What Your Majesty said is that I am afraid that sometimes it is too enthusiastic, and some people will not be able to stand it!"

As soon as Ying Shou finished speaking, Di Renjie slowly walked out of the crowd and said with a suppressed smile.

In history, Di Renjie dared to be under Wu Zetian's command. While being reused by Wu Zetian, he also tried every means to protect Li's blood. His emotional intelligence is not ordinary, but it is rarely shown on weekdays.

Now when the emperor brought up the topic of being close to the people, in order not to embarrass the officials or the emperor, he immediately thought of the old man who couldn't stand the emperor's bow and passed out just now.

"Hahaha, that's right, I'm afraid that sometimes some people can't bear it!"

"Who says it's not, otherwise, I would have personally gone down to thank the common people and say goodbye, hahaha!"

As Di Renjie opened up the topic, the officials immediately talked to each other, laughing until their stomach hurts.

Ying Shou's face was instantly livid, and he shouted, "Shut up, why are you laughing, what's so funny?"

Tai Fu Shusun Tong is not a fool, how can he fail to see that today the emperor used the New Year's event to tease him many times.

Although he didn't dare to tease the emperor, but at this time, he couldn't help but stand up and use his own way to fight against his own body, saying: "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?"

"Daqin has rules of etiquette, but these rules are rules. When people are happy, even if they hold a knife around their necks, they can't hold back their smiles."

"Besides, the New Year's Eve people want to be lively and happy. How can His Majesty stop everyone from laughing?"

Ying Shou froze, staring at Shusun Tong, looking at the thick smile on the old man's mouth, for some reason, Ying Shou suddenly felt warm, and finally saw the old man smile from the bottom of his heart.

For a moment, it seemed that all the unhappiness in his heart disappeared. Ying Shou laughed loudly and said, "You can laugh whatever you want. Anyway, I can stop you now, but I can't stop you when you go back. If you want to Laugh, just have a good laugh here!"
