The morning court in Zhongli was as lively as ever. Due to the reform of the Ministry of Revenue in the first year, the treasury benefits were abundant. In addition, the emperor's thirty birthday was met. Because everyone was discussing how grand and luxurious it was to be done. However, due to the disaster in Xiping a few days ago, although the Xiping Bijing situation has been successfully resolved, the Xiping Bijing is still being rebuilt. Because of this, everyone dare not say too much.

However, no matter what, someone has to mention it. As the Minister of Rites, he has no choice but to be the Minister of Rites. Three months ago, the Ministry of Rites had already arranged the emperor's birthday according to the highest standards. However, due to the Xiping incident, the birthday party was put on hold again. At this time, Xiping was steadily rebuilt, and the emperor's birthday was getting closer and closer. He had to ask this question: "I think that it is the emperor's 30th birthday, and the new policy of Zhongli was successfully implemented, so it should be handled in a large manner."

A minister advised the minister immediately opposed "The emperor thought twice, Xiping was in the middle of the disaster, and the treasury was in need of rebuilding the country. Moreover, other countries were eyeing me, Zhongli. If you just copied it in a big way, it would cause harm to our country. Since ancient times, the wise and famous kings have been in the name of diligence and thrift. It is not the way the famous kings do. I want my ancestors to leave the country..." (The following thousand words are omitted)

Zhong Liyu sat upright on the dragon throne, listening to the censor's endless examples, his eyes were full of impatientness, but he had to listen. The censor was a special existence. He remembered to remind the emperor of his words and deeds. Even if the emperor was upset with him, as long as he did not do anything that violated the law or despise the royal family, he could not take any action against those censors, otherwise, the historian would have recorded a lot.

A quarter of an hour later, the minister finally finished speaking, retreated aside, looking forward to everyone's approval. However, except for the old antiques of the Qing sect, the other ministers looked at their noses and their hearts without saying anything. Among them, the snobbery represented by Prime Minister Lin and General Ning were even more silent.

Zhong Liyu stood up again and waved to the counselor, "Thank you for your hard work, I know." Come again, look at Shangshu Lin, "What do you think about Lin, Aiqing."

The tone was gentle and slow, without revealing any emotion. I don’t know if this was true or not with the frugality mentioned by the censor.

Prime Minister Lin took the lead, saluted respectfully, and then lowered his head slightly. After so many years of being in the officialdom, even though the emperor did not say anything or did not say anything, as the prime minister, he was still very good at guessing the superiors. Although the emperor did not express dissatisfaction with the censor's proposal, and even smiled and nodded, Shangshu Lin understood that the emperor felt uncomfortable with the censor's words.

"Report to the Emperor, Lord Wang said very much. At this time, the disaster of Xiping is happening. Although Xiping is being rebuilt steadily and the people are settled down, it is indeed not necessary to be too extravagant and wasteful. But blindly thrifting will lose my reputation as a dignified Zhongli. After all, on the thirty years of the emperor's birthday, envoys from all countries will celebrate their birthdays. If they are too stingy, they will not show their strength." After that, they stood there with their heads down, without moving. As for whether to handle the matter in large quantities, they will not talk about the question of whether to handle it. Later, they have people with smaller official positions than him to come out to support him.

"What Prime Minister Lin said is very much. I am so arrogant that I can't let other countries see it. The emperor's birthday should be handled properly."

“…”

Other officials immediately agreed. After all, except for those old antiques, people are all very smart people. The emperor can guess five points if he can't guess ten points. What's more, the treasury has money this year and can handle it in a big way. How could the emperor not think about it?

"All my dear friends said very well. After all, envoys from all countries are coming. If they don't handle it well, it will indeed damage the national prestige." He was not happy or angry, and was not happy because everyone agreed with his thoughts.

"My emperor is wise." The emperor almost realized that when he said this, several other counselors seemed to think that what they said at the beginning was too much, so they would not mention it more.

"The Minister of Rites is fully responsible for the handling of this birthday, General Ning is responsible for the protection of the imperial city, and Prime Minister Lin is responsible for the reception of envoys with several other ministries."

"I will obey the order."

"Retreat the Court"

The matter of Zhongli Yu's birthday became the biggest thing in Zhongli Country. All ministers performed their duties and strived to do it perfectly.

Half a month later, three days before Zhongliyu's birthday, everyone reported the progress of their work in the palace again.

"Report to the emperor, the emperor's birthday has been prepared according to the highest standards. Envoys from various countries have also handed over gifts. Envoys from various countries have arrived one after another, and are currently arranged in Huibin Tower. Among them: Xuanyuan Dynasty and Tuobao Kingdom are both the crown prince and the princess, and the other small countries are also the princes and the princess, and the Helan Kingdom is personally coming." In the end, the voice of the Minister of Rites increased, and he was obviously frightened by this matter.

"Helanxin comes in person?" Hearing the words of the Minister of Rites, Zhong Liyu's hand moved slightly, and his eyes were slightly cumbersome. Helanxin actually came in person. What is his purpose?
