Chapter 73 Birthday (1)
On the day of his birthday, envoys from various countries entered the palace one after another to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Yu. Although Yu was not a superior state, among the six countries, whenever the emperor's birthday, the new emperor ascended the throne, or the emperor died, all countries would send their envoys to attend the national ceremony.
Two months ago, the two countries of Yu and Liang fought such a tragic battle on the border. Liang would not come to celebrate his birthday because of this, and Yu would not neglect the Liang envoy because of this. Just like the two countries are at war, no matter
It is the same as beheading envoys. This has been a rule for many years and has never been abolished among the six countries. The Liang State envoy was the first to arrive and has been in Yu State for more than two months. A few days ago, Yan State, Nan
The envoys from the Tang, Shu and Rong Di kingdoms also arrived one after another. Today, they all entered the palace to pay their respects. The Wuying Hall of the Youshi Palace was brightly lit, with hundreds of tables and tables already set up in the hall. The maids and eunuchs filed in, holding hands.
The meals, fruits and vegetables, snacks and congratulatory gifts should all be properly arranged. The Emperor of Yu sat high on the dragon throne, and the Queen Mother sat beside the Emperor. The Queen, concubines, envoys from various countries, relatives of the Emperor and officials of third rank or above took the lead.
The family members were sitting in the hall. All around the hall, drums and music were playing, and singing and dancing were peaceful. At this time, no one would think of the tragic battlefield in Gray Wolf Mountain, and no one would talk about the 30,000 soldiers who died in the battle. Even in that battle
The tragic battle only ended two months ago. Ye Ningyu followed the Duan family into the palace, but now everyone in the capital knows that the wedding of the eldest daughter of the Ye family to King Yong is scheduled for April next year, so today Ye Ningyu
She also appeared here as a quasi-royal daughter-in-law. So Duan and Ye Yongde sat together with Ye Ningxi and Ye Anshu, while Ye Ningyu sat on the side of King Yong. On both sides of King Yong were King Cheng and King Jing respectively.
Ye Ningyu looked around. Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view in the second row opposite. Why is he here? The moment Ye Ningyu's eyes fell on Bai Chengzhi, Bai Chengzhi seemed to have noticed it.
Their eyes met, the two of them were far apart and did not speak. At this time, Bai Chengzhi did not notice at all that in front of him on the right, a gaze never moved away from him since he entered the hall. Ye Ningyu's heart
She secretly thought that Bai Chengzhi should have been invited by King Cheng. But she still asked King Yong who was standing aside, "Your Highness, the two people over there look at each other, they are..." She glanced in the direction of the Yong Dynasty, turned around and said
"One of them is a miracle doctor who treated my father, and the other seems to be a friend of my fourth brother."
After saying that, King Yong turned to look at King Cheng, as if he was trying to verify Bai Chengzhi's identity. King Cheng did not hide it, and told King Yong and Ye Ningyu about his experience of meeting and interacting with Bai Chengzhi during their travels.
Afterwards, the two brothers exchanged pleasantries, but Ye Ningyu stopped listening to what they said. After talking to King Cheng, King Yong looked at King Jing again. "Second brother, how are you doing lately?" King Jing was always not good at words.
, his presence among the princes is extremely low, even more so than that of King Cheng who has not shown his face for a year or two. He nodded slightly and smiled. "Thank you for your concern, third brother. I have always been good. But third brother has been busy with many things recently.
, you have to pay attention to rest and don’t exhaust yourself.”
King Yong smiled warmly and greeted the two brothers. Looking from a distance, it was really a harmonious and friendly situation, where brothers, friends and brothers were respectful. After everyone bowed and sat down, they drank for three rounds. First, envoys from various countries presented congratulatory gifts, and then,
The concubines of the harem and the princes, King Jing and King Yong all presented gifts and said birthday wishes. Emperor Yu was very happy. "Although my three sons have no great talents, they never let me worry."
The emperor smiled and looked at the three Yong brothers. "Your Majesty, you are humble. I think all of your highnesses are extraordinary in appearance and heroic, and they will all be great talents in the future."
The third prince of Liang Guo cupped his hands and said. The emperor smiled and looked in the direction of the third prince, "The third prince is too complimentary. Are you satisfied with King Yong's arrangements these days?"
"His Royal Highness King Yong is very thoughtful, well-arranged and thoughtful."
The emperor's smile grew stronger. He looked at the envoys from other countries and said, "In that case, after today, King Yong will be in charge and the Ministry of Rites will be the assistant. You all can experience the customs and customs of our Yu Kingdom in Dadu."
King Yong and the Minister of Rites immediately stood up and agreed, and the envoys from various countries also bowed to express their thanks. Seeing that the emperor was talking about state affairs again, Concubine Xuan couldn't help but smile and reminded her. "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Cheng has not presented the gift yet!"
Only then did the emperor react. He looked at King Cheng. As for his son, who had been gone for a year, he actually didn't put much thought into him. However, they were father and son after all, and they would still miss him after not seeing each other for a year. Again
In addition, this time he brought back a miracle doctor to treat his illness. In the past few days, the emperor re-examined his son, and suddenly felt that the relationship between father and son was not like that between him and the prince or King Yong, who always thought about the relationship between monarch and minister.
There was more of a pure father-son relationship between him and his son who was preoccupied with other things. Thinking about it this way, the emperor's expression when he saw Cheng Wang became a little softer, like a simple father waiting for his child to prepare a surprise for him.
King Cheng stood up and saluted, and said with a smile, "Thank you so much, Concubine Xuan! Father, your son's gift is not as luxurious and valuable as everyone else's. It is just a small thought from your son. Let's save it for the last time and present it to our father."
The queen looked a little embarrassed. She looked at King Cheng and scolded him softly. "You don't understand the rules."
The emperor waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. Since the third child said so, I'm looking forward to it. By the way, will Divine Doctor Liu be here today?"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a figure stood up leisurely in the palace and saluted the person on the high seat. "Liu Yiping, a common man, pays homage to your majesty."
"I am very lucky to have such a wonderful doctor with excellent medical skills."
The emperor nodded and smiled. "Your Majesty, why not let Divine Doctor Liu join the Imperial Medical Office?"
The queen looked down at Liu Yiping with a smile. The emperor shook his head and said, "I asked you a few days ago. Doctor Liu has ambitions in all directions, but I can't persuade him. But I promise that if you open a clinic to practice medicine in Yu State, I will
I’ll inscribe a plaque for you myself!”
Liu Yiping knelt down and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The emperor's eyes fell on the young man next to Liu Yiping. He looked at the man inquiringly and spoke slowly. "Is he the one who once saved the third child?"
King Cheng and Bai Chengzhi stood up at the same time. "Bai Chengzhi, a common man, comes to see Your Majesty."
A few years ago, King Cheng was traveling abroad and encountered bandits and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was saved by Bai Chengzhi and was treated by Liu Yiping. Therefore, Bai Chengzhi was not only a friend but also a benefactor to King Cheng. "Father, Brother Bai is not only a friend, but also a benefactor."
After saving his son's life, he is still Lan Lao's personal disciple."
"oh?"
The emperor was also a little surprised, "Which Lan Lao?"
"Who else in the world can be called Mr. Lan? Naturally it is Mr. Lan, the great scholar from the Six Nations."
King Cheng said respectfully. As soon as he said these words, everyone turned their eyes to Bai Chengzhi, with admiration and surprise in their eyes. The emperor laughed and turned his eyes to someone in the palace. "Wei Jijiu, no wine."
I thought I could meet your fellow disciples here, do you two know each other?"
