reincarnated as king

Time flies by like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, it is April [-], which is the Tianshou Festival this year.Tianshou Festival is the birthday of the emperor, and April [-] is the birthday of Bei Gongdi, the current emperor of Qianning.

Ordinary people have a birthday, but they invite relatives and friends to join in the party.However, when meritorious relatives celebrate their birthdays, it is unavoidable to set up a large table banquet, distribute invitations to the officials of the same court and people in the same way, and gather together. Those holy relatives and grand relatives will occasionally receive rewards from the palace.

And if today's birthday is over, it will be very different.Not only civil and military officials brought gifts to celebrate, but also foreign envoys came to worship, and people in the clan came to celebrate birthdays, and they all came one after another, bringing the joy of universal celebration.There is also particularity in giving gifts, one must not surpass the superiors, one must not lose taste, and one must cater to the emperor's preferences - there is another article on the importance of this.

The sky dimmed slightly, and the entire imperial city was decorated with lights and festoons, full of joy. Outside the Longevity Garden where the guests were entertained, horses and carriages were parked, and rich and noble men and women stepped down from the luxuriously decorated carriages from time to time.The guests had a tacit understanding that they were not wearing court clothes, but the beautiful silk and silk on their bodies and the exquisite jade pendants that symbolized their status were enough to point out their status as dignitaries.

"Oh, this is not Lord Wan! This way please!"

"Haha, so it's Princess Hexiu and Concubine Gong, please!"

The heavy traffic in front of the door did not make people feel busy, but instead highlighted the importance of this dinner. Everyone had a smile on their faces, whether it was true or false, they all showed great joy.

Surrounding Heqing's stage in the courtyard, there are rows of desks and low tables. On each low table are several cold dishes, a pot of decorated flowers, a jug of wine and jade cups.The cups and plates are surrounded by patterns, and the celadon glaze is stacked, which is obviously a treasure, which makes people look forward to it but cannot help but cherish it.The seats for military commanders and the seats for civil servants are set separately, and the dishes in the two places are also slightly different: the seats for military commanders are mostly wine and meat.On the side of the emperor's seat, there is a prince's seat.The members of the clan had to leave Pingjiang, and the clan who came to the capital to congratulate the students ordered the King of Qin to hold a banquet by the side.The princess and prince in the capital set up seats with everyone in the palace and separated from the outer dynasty, and the rest of the kings were ordered to live in the vassal land.

There are also a few seats beside the emperor's seat, but they are set up for the emperor's close ministers and court officials.

Not long after, an eunuch stepped into the banquet hall and struck the golden bell in his hand. Under the crisp sound, everyone returned to their seats and sat down slowly.

"The emperor is here! The queen is here! The prince is here!"

Accompanied by the announcement from Zuo Chang, the head of the eunuch three times in succession, all the people sitting down left the seat and knelt down. After three kneelings and nine kowtows, they said in unison: "Long live the Holy One! Long live! Long live!"

Bei Gongdi sat on the god's seat during their salute, and only after the queen and prince sat down did he say: "Your honor is flat."

Then, it was time for birthday celebrations and presents, which attracted the attention of everyone.First, the governors of the sixteen prefectures came to congratulate, and then the censors from various departments of the court, the Sixth Division, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate came forward to offer congratulatory gifts to the chiefs involved.Then there are five temples, headed by Dali Temple Minister, to worship birthday.Then came the Tongzhengyuan and the Hanlinyuan with calligraphy and paintings to celebrate, then the generals in the army, the officials from the six departments of the Ministry of Education, and finally the palace.And the foreign envoys congratulate the six ministries.

Bei Gongdi looked at the things they submitted with relish——Different from the last generation who was all in favor of wealth, magnificence and force, under Bei Gongdi's intentional or unintentional performance and deliberate promotion of "benevolent monarch", many people submitted some calligraphy and painting, Rare antiques, and even some calligraphy treasures, Bei Gongdi couldn't laugh or cry, recognized him as a clean and honest official, and thought that this person's calligraphy and painting skills are still praised by people after 500 years, so he was in a good mood and joked After a few words, let him go.

"I present a unicorn, a divine beast. I wish your Majesty a long life!" A person bowed his head respectfully and said, Bei Gongdi raised his head and glanced, and said in surprise, "Giraffe?"

The man was slightly startled, and then said: "Your Majesty is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, I can't wait."

Bei Gongdi was noncommittal to his behavior of flattering and slapping the horse's leg, nodded, and said, "Very good. Put it in Linyuan and raise it."

It turns out that there is no giraffe at this time, Bei Gongdi thought, but he gave it a name.

As time went by, it was time for the six congratulatory gifts.Among the crowd, Fang Jingxuan smiled slightly at him.Bei Gongdi met his deep eyes, and there was some anticipation in his calm heart.

"The minister presents the seven stars of the treasured sword, and may your Majesty's martial arts and virtues be clear!"

In Fang Jingxuan's smiling eyes, Bei Gongdi looked at the knife in surprise: "Come here, bring it up!" He took the knife, the cold light cut the iron like mud, and he was in a good mood after playing with it carefully: "God!" A sharp weapon! Haha! It is worthy of being the famous sword of the Warring States Period, the Seven Stars!" The Seven Stars Saber was handed down from the hand of Yue Wang, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. The two characters of seven stars in the ancient seal script can't help but stir up the mind.

Everyone once again congratulated Bei Gongdi for obtaining the legendary treasure, which is the image of a prosperous Mingjun.

"It's no problem relying on Aiqing's sword for this martial art. I don't know where is the rule of martial arts?" Bei Gongdi laughed.

Fang Jingxuan smiled slightly: "The ministers and other officials, I invite your majesty for your kindness, and if you dare to repay yourselves, you will be willing to do so."

Bei Gongdi scolded with a smile: "Forget it, I'm so relieved."

Everyone has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for a long time, and suddenly they understood, they all looked at each other, and said in unison: "Wen Zhiwugong, life and heaven!"

Seeing this, Bei Gongdi smiled and waved his hands.Signal the birthday banquet to continue.There were also many foreign envoys from the southern land king, the west sea island owner, and the northern tribes. Their costumes and customs were different from those of the middle land, which opened the eyes of everyone present.Wait for the people in the palace to celebrate.The seven-year-old prince Beigong Yuming stood up from the table and held a glass of wine: "I congratulate my father on his birthday! Please drink this to my father!"

Bei Gongdi immediately smiled: "Okay! Ming'er has a heart! I'll have a toast with you!"

Then, it was the toast of the courtiers and Chinese officials.Fang Jingxuan, Yang Zirong, and Chen Xiayang led the ceremony. The congratulatory speech was written by Liu Zhen, who was on business in Yanjing, and Fang Jingxuan recited it in class.Everyone drank a toast together.The military ministers toasted, led by Bei Gongdi's former general Changping Hou Bai Feng and Wu'an Hou Weisong. Although the congratulations were not as exciting as the civil servants, they were more easy to understand, but Bei Gongdi was extremely happy.

After three cups of wine, the elder brother of the queen, uncle An Guogong Chen Kan, went forward to invite Bei Gongdi to a banquet.Bei Gongdi nodded, and immediately, amidst the ups and downs of the Tianzi Nine Music, the dance began to be performed vividly.

"I'm very happy today—haha——" Zuo Chang carefully helped Bei Gongdi from the imperial palace to the Jingyang Palace. Fang Jingxuan reached out and hugged him who was staggering, and heard him mutter Said in the ear.

Zuo Chang closed the door of the main hall of Jingyang Palace behind him.Fang Jingxuan said helplessly to the person in his arms: "Your Majesty, you are drunk." And he was helped to come here, so drunk that he was not clear.

"I'm not drunk!" Bei Gongdi turned his head when he heard the words, and looked at Fang Jingxuan with bright eyes: "How could I be drunk with such a little wine. But, Jingxuan, don't shake it. Hey, why are there two Jingxuans? "He hung on Fang Jingxuan and was brought into the hall by him.

Seeing his ignorant appearance, crystal clear eyebrows, and rosy lips within reach, Fang Jingxuan's eyes suddenly darkened: "Your Majesty—it seems that I have another congratulatory gift, and His Majesty has to accept it tomorrow."

"Courtesy? What kind of ceremony?" Bei Gongdi heard a certain word, and then let Fang Jingxuan manipulate him, and said to himself: "Oh, by the way, I am very satisfied with Jingxuan's gift, and I will return it."

"Oh?" Fang Jingxuan, who was struggling with the buckle on Bei Gongdi's body, smiled when she heard this, and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek: "What's your gift in return?"

"I am dedicated to political affairs every day, but I am afraid that I cannot fully understand the public opinion, and I have failed the people's eager expectations. Today, we specially set up the Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholars, and call Shangshu Fang Jingxuan and Dr. Yang Zirong to enter Wenyuan Pavilion and arrange maintenance." Beigong. But Di turned his head, and his words seemed to be reciting the content of a part of the imperial edict.

Fang Jingxuan paused, and slightly closed her eyes, as if she was enduring something. "Your Majesty—" he called out, and the man rubbed against his arms impatiently, muttering: "Good wine...have another glass...you won't go back if you're not drunk haha..." Obviously those words were unintentional , Only revealed after drunk.

Fang Jingxuan had mixed feelings for a moment.He stretched out his hand and stroked Bei Gongdi's eyebrows slowly, the long eyelashes were extraordinarily soft in the palm of his hand.Does Bei Gongdi know what he did?Wenyuange University Bachelor—from this moment on, Fang Jingxuan's real power is in the hands of the government and the public, and his status is the same as his illusory appearance.He has the post of a bachelor, participates in maintenance, and even has the right to prepare a ticket for approval. Although he does not have the name of a prime minister, he has the reality of a prime minister.

In this dynasty, the Jin Taizu abolished the prime minister, and the struggle between the prime minister and the royal power ended in the defeat of the prime minister, but Bei Gongdi racked his brains to find such a suitable position for him.Since there is no phase, I will create a new position.Does Bei Gongdi know what kind of weight he handed over with that part of the imperial power?

"Your Majesty, I—" He De He Neng.Fang Jingxuan couldn't say a word, but the drunken Bei Gongdi stretched out his hand and waved away Fang Jingxuan's hand on his face, and suddenly smiled evilly and leaned forward, hooking Fang Jingxuan's neck: "Beauty, come, have a sweet one." Fang Jingxuan Facing Bei Gong Di, she reached out to lift his chin, and kissed his lips lightly.

"There is an edict from the sage, today is the day of worship." The next day, Bu Ning, chief supervisor and eunuch, came to the gate of Wenhua Hall early and announced to most of the missing courtiers.Whenever Bei Gongdi invited Bei Gongdi to a dinner party, the military officers would always drink too much and never return, and the next day they would ask for leave and not go to court.But yesterday, Bei Gongdi himself was rarely drunk, and Zuo often served in Jingyang Palace, so he rarely came here to convey oral instructions.Everyone greeted each other and left outside the Wenhua Hall.

As the sky brightened, the courtiers got busy according to their errands.But today, in the scripts and memorials submitted to the Tongzhengyuan, apart from a few words explaining that "there is no big deal in the court", there are many praises and greetings in oblique ways, or implying that the Holy One should not drink and indulge in lust (drinking is equal to indulgence, ministers I don’t have the guts to talk about the affairs of the palace), or ask whether the Tianshou Festival should be extended to three days—in view of today’s "benevolence and reverence for the ancients", I always like to choose a traditional festival from time to time for a day off.

At this time, Bei Gongdi, the protagonist mentioned by the ministers, was leaving the imperial city with Fang Jingxuan, going to the East Mansion, and met the "second gift" Fang Jingxuan said.Bei Gongdi and him came outside the empty East Mansion with the middle door wide open. If they hadn't looked up and saw the plaque with the words "Chizao" written on it, they would not have thought that this was the location of the famous East Mansion.Seeing this, Bei Gongdi raised his eyebrows slightly, and wanted to say something, but finally waved his sleeves and stepped into the mansion.

Fang Jingxuan was in the second half of the step, stretching out his hand to ask him to show him the way.Bei Gongdi's expression gradually changed from surprise to thoughtfulness, and soon the two came to a backyard where the flowers and plants were quite delicately manicured.Bei Gongdi tilted his head and jokingly said: "Is Mr. Jinwu Zangjiao?"

Fang Jingxuan glanced at Bei Gongdi when he heard the words: "Why don't your majesty go in and have a look in person."

Bei Gongdi chuckled, raised the bamboo curtain and walked into the hall, only to see a man in white shirt sitting in front of a table with his back to him, wiping something carefully.Bei Gongdi suddenly had the intention of probing, and said loudly: "Jade is born in the mountains, but it is buried and unknown; when it is produced, it can be carved by human tools, but it is not complete. What's the explanation, what's the explanation?"

The man turned around slowly when he heard the words: "Although the jade is buried in its original form, how do you know that the jade is not intended to be a weapon? It is only through tempering that it will show its pride, but it is true, isn't it?"

He was in his early twenties, with a delicate appearance, wearing a scarf on his head, but holding a sword in his hand. Although he looked like a man and a woman, he did not lose his aura at all.He smiled faintly, put away his sword and stood up, and saluted like flowing clouds and flowing water: "Late births are polite."

When Bei Gongdi saw his outstanding appearance, he was also slightly absent-minded for a moment, and then he returned to his usual smile and said: "It is my fault for trespassing without the master's permission. I hope the master will not blame you!"

The two chatted very happily, and after three quarters of the hour, Bei Gongdi came out of the small courtyard, and exclaimed with great interest: "This man is really a genius in the army!"

Fang Jingxuan was admiring the flowers, and replied casually: "Your Majesty is happy to see Liexin?"

Bei Gongdi immediately leaned forward, jokingly said: "Jingxuan is not afraid, I have new people and forget the old ones?"

Fang Jingxuan glanced at him, and said softly, "As Your Majesty likes." The corners of Bei Gongdi's eyes twitched, the man said something nice, but his hand pinched his waist fiercely.

"His Majesty is going to hold a martial arts exam in August, and the minister will recommend him." Fang Jingxuan and Bei Gongdi said as they walked.

"Oh, by the way, what is this person's name?" Bei Gongdi suddenly remembered.

"Murongde," Fang Jingxuan said, Bei Gongdi was taken aback.Fang Jingxuan then slowly said: "His surname is Murong." Hearing this, Bei Gongdi was shocked, and was in a trance for a while, as if in a dream.Murong De, a famous general of the Jin Dynasty, won the position of junior general in the army at the age of 50, but since then he has begun to show his talents and become a generation of military legends. He was even about to include southern Xinjiang in the territory of the Jin Dynasty.Bei Gongdi remembered the portrait of the veteran in the materials of his previous life, which was a bit horrible in Dan Qing's writing. How could he know that a real person has such an outstanding demeanor.

But he really forgot about this person, but where did Fang Jingxuan find it...it couldn't be...

Wait, his surname is Murong—could it be Wenxi's former general, the same clan of Murong Yu who died in the prison?If so, it's no wonder that in the last life he was not reused, but in this life he was recommended by Fang Jingxuan.
