Xuanyuan Aoyi glanced at the gift list briefly. Just when he was about to close the gift list, he caught sight of the gift from Nangong Wuming from the corner of his eye.
After carefully looking at the gift from Nangong Wuming, Xuanyuan Aoyi raised the corners of his mouth, and the smile on his face was very obvious.
It should be said that the gifts given by Nangong Wuming were not rude and were very worthy of his status as a first-rank official - but the problem was that the gifts given by Nangong Wuming in the past were five times his status.
For aristocratic families, gifts should be given according to festivals; gifts should be given according to objects; gifts should be given according to close and distant relationships... These all have rules and weights.
Giving gifts is a science, too much is not good, and too little is not good, so we usually act according to the rules. In the past, when Nangong Wuming gave gifts, he always gave five times the amount of gifts he should give - Nangong Wuming was rich and powerful.
On the other hand, it shows the strong strength of the Nangong clan, the first family under the royal family.
However, Nangong Wuming followed the rules when giving gifts today. It seems that the more than 10 million taels of silver that Nangong Yexue took away did have a major economic impact on Nangong Wuming... Thinking about it, Xuanyuan Aoyi glanced at
Nangong Wuming glanced at it.
Even he was jealous of ten million taels of silver. Nangong Wuming was probably so heartbroken that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night...
Xuanyuan Aoyi closed the gift list, placed it on the table, and said to everyone in the lobby: "Thank you all for coming and allowing you to spend money!"
"Where, where..."
"The eldest prince is serious. This is what the subordinates should do..."
Xuanyuan Aoyi's falsely polite words made half the people in the room stand up and salute him.
Xuanyuan Aoyi waved his hand and asked them to sit down. Then he quickly looked at the people in the room and pretended to be surprised: "Why don't you see your second brother?"
After saying that, Xuanyuan Aoyi turned to Nangong Wuming and asked: "General Nangong, why didn't this prince see the second emperor's brother? Isn't he not here?"
Nangong Wuming stood up from his seat and said: "As for the eldest prince, the second prince lives in the palace and I am just a foreign minister. How could I know about the second prince? But the eldest prince asked the wrong person."
Xuanyuan Aoyi smiled and said: "General Nangong is too modest. You are my second brother's biological uncle. He is also close to you on weekdays. But this prince asked you the right question..."
Su Guogong stood up and said: "Your Highness, I am afraid you have forgotten that the relationship between General Nangong and the Second Prince does not seem to be very good recently..."
Xuanyuan Aoyi pretended to suddenly realize it and said: "Oh, but I forgot."
Xuanyuan Aoyi said to Nangong Wuming: "General Nangong, you said that you had such a good relationship with the second emperor brother in the past, why is the relationship so stiff now? I still remember that some time ago, the two of you almost ended up in court because of different political opinions.
There was a quarrel. Hey, they are uncle and nephew after all, so how come the relationship is worse than that of strangers..."
Xuanyuan Aoyi was ridiculing every word Nangong Wuming and Xuanyuan Aochu who had fallen out because of their interests, but Nangong Wuming was by no means a person who would change his face after just a few words.
Nangong Wu Ming said: "I only serve your Majesty, and I discuss matters as they arise, and have nothing to do with others. Moreover, I and the second prince have always had a pure relationship between monarch and minister. Since ancient times, foreign ministers are not allowed to have close contact with the prince. The eldest prince should not think that just because he has close contact with Duke Su,
Everyone is the same as you..."
After hearing what Nangong Wuming said, Xuanyuan Aoyi slapped the table angrily, "Nangong Wuming, you really think you are nothing, and you dare to make fun of this prince..."
