Xiao Ye said: "Fourteen years old, less than fifteen years old."
Li Xun's face was full of doubts: "You have to worship at the age of fourteen?"
Xiao Ye said, "Anyway, the person involved is here."
Li Xun looked at Xu Qing with the eyes of an animal: "Brother Xu, is this really the case?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "I was kidnapped."
Xiao Ye waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter what the process is, as long as you go through it."
Li Xun: "Is there any order from the parents or the words from the matchmaker?"
Xiao Ye: "Anyway, it's good to pay my respects."
Li Xun: "..."
The New Year's Eve dinner was quite enjoyable amidst the quarrels and quarrels. Tributes had arrived here and there. There was also a court meeting tomorrow. Li Xun couldn't stay up all night, otherwise he wouldn't be energetic when he woke up the next day.
So Xu Qingbian took Li Mingyue out of the palace to watch the fireworks.
He can stay up all night tonight as he pleases.
Xiao Ye returned to the mission's residence and did not follow Xu Qing to watch the fireworks and lanterns. The feeling of the pearl that night was not pleasant.
…
The court meeting on the second day was not easy.
Li Xun sat there from dawn until half past morning.
Officials from all parties had to come and report on their duties, which took most of the day.
It is not a new thing that a few young old men are sent away every time a great court meeting is held.
After working hard for a long time, Li Xun looked at the mountains of excerpts piled up in the royal study, and then looked at the nearly ten sacrifices that he would have time to hold next...
Li Xun instantly felt his head grow bigger.
Why does Zhongshu Province send so many discounts every day?
If you keep doing this, you will be exhausted sooner or later!
However, the excerpts sent by the Zhongshu Ministry must not be decided by the left and right ministers, otherwise they would approve them themselves, but this would be a big problem for the new emperor Li Xun.
Li Xun thought for a while and called some Yu Linwei over: "Come here, pick up all these folds! Follow me."
Several Yulin guards who were called over didn't know why, so they picked it up and followed Li Xun out. No one knew what kind of medicine was sold in His Majesty's gourd.
Mingheyuan
At this time, the Minghe Garden has become a retirement place for the emperor and the imperial master. Even the childlike Li Zong and the imperial master even built a big snowman in the square of the Minghe Garden.
Although the weather is still cold today, Li Zong's head was covered with sweat. The imperial master handed over a handkerchief, and Li Zong took it and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Li Zong looked at his work and was obviously very satisfied. He smiled and said: "When the new year just passed, all the princes and heirs in the capital rushed to come to pay New Year's greetings. Unexpectedly, it is almost noon now.
No one has come, it’s really a miserable world.”
The Imperial Master smiled and said, "Back then, Your Majesty often said that a tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Wouldn't it be better now that no one disturbs it?"
Li Zong nodded and said: "That's true, but although I think they are annoying in my heart, I still like to be lively after losing them."
As the saying goes, what you can't get is always the best. Li Zong was annoyed at first, but now he misses it again...
At this moment, a maid came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, is here."
Li Zong and the Imperial Master couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief when they heard the maid's words.
The royal family owed them a lot back then, and they never expected that he would be the first to come to pay their respects on the first day of the new year. It was surprising.
Li Zong looked at Li Xun who walked in, with a smile on his face: "You actually came here?"
Li Xun opened his mouth and said, "As a junior, it is etiquette to pay New Year's greetings to our elders."
Li Zong smiled and said, "It's a shame you still have such a heart."
After saying that, Li Zong looked at Li Xun's hands and said displeased: "How did your teacher teach you etiquette in the first place? In the past hundred years, they didn't even take anything from them.
But they rushed to pay tribute to me."
The Imperial Master coughed and said, "I did teach you."
Li Xun smiled and said, "Of course the teacher taught me, so this time I brought a lot of things to honor my father."
Li Zongdao: "This is pretty much it. What did you bring? Bring it up quickly and let me see."
Li Xun waved his hand and there were two Yulin guards behind him, each holding a big bundle.
Li Zong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the two big burdens. So many?
Is this guy really so kind?
But immediately, Li Zong lectured Li Xun again: "Tell me what you are like as an emperor. As a wise emperor, you are naturally diligent and frugal, but you actually sent so many things here? It's outrageous! It's outrageous!"
Li Xun said, "No, no, no, this gift is not expensive. On the contrary, it is very meaningful to my father. He can use it to relieve his boredom in his spare time."
Li Zong suddenly became interested: "Oh? Plaything?"
It has to be said that it is difficult for a person to change the routine he has maintained for more than 20 years all at once. At least Li Zong hasn't changed it yet and gets up as soon as the o'clock comes.
Although he was relaxed and happy every day, what greeted him when he was done relaxing was endless emptiness. He and the Imperial Master were the only ones in Minghe Garden, and all the former concubines stayed in the palace and they forgot to bring them over.
It's really sloppy.
I play chess and drink tea with the Imperial Master every day. It’s okay to relax like this for a day or two, but after a month of continuous relaxation, I started to feel uncomfortable. I wanted to find something new and exciting to play, but all the things from the folk...
It was too vulgar to enter the eyes of a former emperor.
Unexpectedly, Li Xun actually brought him a toy today, which was exactly what he wanted.
After saying that, the group of people came to a palace in Minghe Garden, placed two large bundles on the table, and opened them.
Wow!
The memorials inside were immediately scattered all over the table.
Li Zong looked at the memorials, which were piled up like a hill, and then at Li Xun: "Is this the plaything you are talking about?"
Li Xun nodded and said, "No, no, my father said so himself about the playthings. I just said that these are for my father to relieve his boredom in his spare time. I think my father is very free now, so why don't I get two explanations?"
To relieve your boredom? I promise to give you one book to refresh your mind and another one to enlighten you. Teacher, would you like to give two books a try?"
Li Zong: "I don't want to relieve this boredom, you take it away!"
Just kidding, he has been approving this stuff for twenty years and is already tired of it.
Li Xun said: "Since my father doesn't approve, I will leave."
Li Zong: "Go quickly! Take the memorial and leave together!"
Li Xun nodded and looked at Yu Linwei who was standing aside; "Hurry and pack up my gifts..."
Li Zong was shocked; "What are you going to do?"
Li Xun said, "If my father doesn't approve, then I will probably quit my job as emperor and go to live with my sister in Chu State. Anyway, your Zhou State owes me, and then I will get millions of taels of silver from the treasury."
The expense is not excessive.”
With that said, Li Xun was about to leave.
Li Zong couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the shameless Li Xun, and then looked at the imperial master: "Is this how you taught him in the beginning?"
