The Minister of the Ministry of Works mentally greeted the Emperor, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Wen Jiarui's eighteen generations of ancestors.
Who can stand the Chinese New Year without eating meat!
Especially Wen Jiarui, he also sent the account books for Old Man Fang to supervise. What does this mean
Worried that the money they gave you is too little
It’s like judging a gentleman’s heart with a villain’s heart!
Although the minister of the Ministry of Industry was angry, he still said in agreement: "Your Majesty, the border is bitterly cold, and every household is getting together, but the soldiers on the border have to guard the border. It is really hard, and everyone in the family is willing to do so." Fast for two months and use the money saved to provide food for the soldiers on the border."
"The emperor is a wise man, and the humble ministers are in charge of the whole house..."
…
The other officials, no matter how unhappy they were in their hearts, couldn't help but express their feelings at this time!
So everyone said that the whole family would fast for two months, and the money saved would be used to provide food for the soldiers guarding the country on the border.
The emperor was just happy when he heard the words: "Haha... Okay! My dear friends, you are interested! This time the four countries besieged our Nalan Kingdom, and the court was in dire straits. If we are not careful, it will be a disaster for the country! Fortunately, there are My dear friends, from the nobles in the sky, the civil and military officials of the dynasty, to the common people, if we work together as one, we can drive away the foreign enemies, protect our country, and one day restore peace to the world!"
The eldest grandson smiled at this time and said: "What the imperial grandfather said is true. As soon as my father heard about the siege from the Four Kingdoms, he led us to start fasting. Firstly, it was to pray for Nalan Kingdom, and secondly, he also wanted to save some money. Let’s see what we can do for the people and the soldiers.”
The emperor was even more happy: "Haha... Okay! Okay! Your father did a good job this time!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel took the opportunity to say: "The eldest prince actually did this a long time ago! He really meant it! I am ashamed of myself! But the eldest prince cares so much about the court and the people. This is the blessing of the people in the world and the blessing of the court. !”
The Minister of Rites also nodded: "The eldest prince is really serious! The imperial mausoleum is bitterly cold, dark and humid. He actually fasted early. How can his body bear it for many years?"
A doctor from the Ministry of Industry also echoed: "Your Majesty, it is the time for the imperial court to hire people. The eldest prince has been guarding the imperial mausoleum for three years. I beg the emperor to let the eldest prince return to the capital to share the emperor's worries!"
... ...
Then several more officials echoed.
Then the second prince also spoke, also asking the eldest prince to come back.
Concubine Li Guifei, who was sitting next to the emperor, also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has indeed been guarding the imperial mausoleum for a long time. As the saying goes, father and son have no hatred overnight. I think the eldest prince should know that he is wrong. Now the court is in troubled times, and it is a time for employment. , King Jin went on an expedition again, and King Jin is no longer around the emperor to share the emperor’s worries, and he is so busy that he has lost weight!”
When the emperor heard this, he thought about why the eldest prince was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum.
The emperor said calmly: "Today is New Year's Eve, and political affairs will be discussed after the court."
As he spoke, the emperor raised his wine glass: "With this glass, I honor the soldiers who are far away on the border guarding their homes and country!"
After speaking, the emperor raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
Concubine Li lowered her head, hiding the smile in her eyes.
The eldest emperor's grandson glanced at Concubine Li, lowered his head to cover the evil look in his eyes, and hated the demon concubine in his heart.

After the palace banquet
The second prince came to Concubine Li's palace to stay with her.
When the second prince thought about the palace banquet, the eldest emperor's grandson took the opportunity to want the eldest prince to come back. This matter would be brought up every once in a while. He asked: "Mother, concubine, do you think my father will let the eldest prince come back?"
Concubine Li smiled: "Don't worry, he wanted to kill the emperor that day! The emperor was too affectionate to kill him, but he wants to come back? The emperor is not afraid!"
Want to come back
It's not that easy.
Besides, I won’t let him come back!
Now only her son is with the emperor!
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has been abolished. Now you can be said to be the eldest son of the emperor. You were harmed by that witch before! Now you should be filial to your father, be peaceful and peaceful, and don't think about anything. One day, your father will see how good you are! In the past few months, the emperor has obviously aged a lot, and there are a lot more gray hairs on his temples. You should pay more attention to his health! "
For other things, she can just help him plan it!
But we can't lose our son in it.
The second prince nodded: "The state affairs are busy and the borders are in turmoil. The Nalan Kingdom may be divided by the four countries if we are not careful. My father has worked hard and is indeed old."
Concubine Li did not answer his question. The emperor was aging so quickly, but she discovered a secret.
The emperor has not been to the harem for several months. The last time he came to his palace, he seemed to want to do something at first, but then suddenly said he was sleeping.
There must be something wrong with your body, and I don’t know who did it
But it's none of their business!
She didn't plan to tell the second prince, so she just said: "Don't worry about anything now. Whatever the emperor asks you to do, just do it well. Don't do too much, and don't have any contact with the ministers. When someone mentions the eldest prince, just follow him and beg for mercy. Yes, but don't go too far. After all, it was the emperor who he wanted to harm in the first place. If you go too far, your father will feel that you don't care about his life."
The second prince nodded.
Concubine Li felt heartbroken when she looked at her son who had been confined for so long and had a few gray hairs: "When your father comes to my side, I will ask him to ask your father to find another marriage for you." Come on! You can’t be without someone to wait on you.”
The second prince stiffened, then nodded.
He really liked the second princess, but he didn't expect that she would be from Southern Xinjiang.
He thought that everything she planned was for herself...
Concubine Li previously wanted Li Wanwan to be her son's stepmother, but now her eldest brother is no longer the prime minister.
The nephew has no future, so forget it.
You have to find a noble family that the emperor trusts.
She thought of Han Gengyu, the granddaughter of the emperor's master, but the Han family never married the prince.
But if the emperor opens his mouth, it should be different, right
... .
Zichen Palace
The emperor specially left Prince An and Prince Ning to watch the New Year together in the palace.
The three brothers have not stayed together for a long time.
Since he ascended the throne, he and his harem concubines have accompanied the Queen Mother to watch the New Year's Eve.
There was nothing he could do this year. The Queen Mother actually left a letter and ran away. He had already sent people to chase her back.
The emperor thought that at today's palace banquet, everyone said that the eldest prince should come back, and he asked: "Do you think I should let Chengli come back?"
Prince An: "What are you doing here?"
There is no way to cure an unfilial son who sticks to his shoe!
Prince Ning picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and echoed: "Add chaos!"
For the sake of the throne, he even dared to murder his own father. Why did he come back
Of course it’s causing trouble!
Now that the four kingdoms are under siege, the Seventeenth Emperor's younger brother has gone to the border to fight again. Couldn't it be a good time to seek the throne and usurp the throne
Emperor: "..."
