Zhenguan six years.

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There are only two days left to usher in the New Year of the Seventh Year of Zhenguan.

Zhuque Street has been given a new look.

On the street, people from the city government office began to clear the snowflakes along the way.

The bluestone road covered with snow gradually revealed its original appearance as the city department delinquents and Wu Hou cleaned it.

A group of court ministers and senior officials rode horses towards Tianjin Bridge.

Every high-ranking official has gifts in his arms.

It is a great honor to be summoned by Li Shimin to celebrate the New Year in advance.

Therefore, everyone worked hard to collect the best gifts.

Fortunately, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun showed their faces.

"Brother Changsun, what are you holding in your arms? Show me?"Doulu Kuan stroked his beard.

Changsun Wuji said cautiously:"Don't you know when the time comes?"

"Brother Cui, what have you prepared? Doulu Kuan looked at Cui Minqian who was traveling with him again.

Cui Minqian smoothed his beard calmly:"It's just an ordinary gift, I'll just take a look at it when the time comes.""

Although he didn't agree with what he said, others still saw a mysterious look on his face.

It seems that Cui Mingan is planning to do something big this time!

Yes, even though everyone is an official in the same court.

But there is still a gap in financial strength.

For example, Cui Minqian appears to be very wealthy because of the blessing of a wealthy family.

As for the assets of Doulu Kuan and others, in the eyes of Cui Minqian, they are scum!

Of course, having money is only one aspect. On the other hand, there are many things that money cannot buy.

For example, Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Collection.

Well, now it seems that the prodigal daughter of Princess Xiangcheng gave it to Li Yi.

Anyway, throwing money is the cheapest way to give gifts.

Give something that others don't have, which is precious in this world, so that it can make people's eyes shine and impress them.

Doulu Kuan and others looked at Cui Mingan's back and spat fiercely:"Ma Ma, I treat you as a brother, and you are pretending to be cool with me here?"

"It's just so-so, but go to hell!"

Doulu Kuan looked disgusting.

Some people, on the surface, are brothers to you, but behind the scenes... don't mention it!

…… the other side.

Xiuwenfang, Li Mansion.

Li Yi is having breakfast.

After breakfast we will go to Tai Chi Palace.

Someone came to the palace yesterday.

Li Shimin invited him to celebrate the New Year together.

Li Yi always thought that the so-called celebrating the New Year together meant gathering and having dinner together on New Year's Eve.

Unexpectedly, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty celebrated the New Year in two ways.

One is that Li Shimin hosted a banquet for hundreds of officials to celebrate the New Year together and have fun with the people.

The other is that Li Shimin entertained his harem family members at a banquet, which is called cultivating one's morality and harmonizing one's family.

Gan!

It was obvious that Li Yi understood it wrong.

He thought it was strange at first.

Although he claims to be brothers with Li Shimin, they are not a family after all.

He wondered why Li Shimin wanted him to celebrate the New Year with him.

Could it be that I regard you as a brother, but you regard me as... a father?

This is unreasonable!

Only now did Li Yi figure it out.

He understands the splits

"Are the gifts ready?"

Li Yi asked Shangguan Yi casually while eating.

Shangguan Yi squeaked pickled cucumbers and said hurriedly:"Everything is ready. The few worthless calligraphy and paintings sent by Prime Minister Du last time will be given to you later. On the package. Li Yi nodded:"

Let's do it.""

Having a hasty breakfast,

Li Yi prepared to go out.

Shangguan Yi and Di Renjie were naturally not qualified to participate in this kind of banquet.

Watching Li Yi leave the house, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but say something.

He and Di Renjie are also imperial officials. He is not qualified to go to court.

His mentor is nothing, but he can go to the court to have a banquet with His Majesty.

This is very embarrassing!

Just when Li Yi just went out, a few crappy businessmen came.

Li Yi looked at them like a beggar. Yes, I want to send him away

"Is it Li Mansion? I'll wait for the King of Korea to come and give Mr. Li some small gifts."

Li Yi is a relatively upright person.

Looking at the behavior and clothes of these people, he knows how thin the 'poor gift' is.

Regarding the news from Goryeo, Li Yi knows very little because of the lack of information.

He guessed that it should be Li Qing listened to his words and informed the King of Korea about Park Yizu's rebellion. The

King of Korea should have successfully passed this crisis, so he thanked himself.

As for Li Qing's ascension to the throne as the new king of Korea, and Li Qing Of course, Li Yi didn't know anything about Qing's pregnancy.

He said nonchalantly:"Oh, since it's a 'small gift', fine, you can put it behind you immediately!"

Li Yi happened to be entering the palace, so he didn't mind giving more gifts to Li Shimin.

They were all worthless things anyway, so Li Yi didn't mind giving them to Li Shimin.

No matter how he calculated, he couldn't lose anything.

That's it, Li Yi rode a horse and walked towards Tai Chi Palace.

Passing by Jinglong Gate.

Li Yi dismounted and entered the palace carrying Du Ruhui's calligraphy and paintings and the gifts sent by the Koreans.

Haha.

It's a bit heavy.

Obviously, it's garbage.

Otherwise, who cares? Why give so many rare treasures as gifts?

Isn’t this a stupid act?

The Tang Dynasty Palace.

The banquet was set up in the Qianbu Corridor.

When Li Yi arrived, a lot of people had gathered here.

Obviously, Li Yi was the last Come.

Not long after, Li Shimin came.

The ceremony officer also began to sing.

When he read Cui Mingan, the ceremony officer paused for a moment, and then calmly said:"Huangmen Minister Cui Minqian, I will give you two old Korean ginsengs." pellets."

At this time, the officials were a little bit angry.

Doulu Kuan looked at Cui Minqian resentfully.

Cui Minqian looked at the sky lightly, with a calm face.

It's a small scene.

You guys have never seen the world.

"Be good! I am really willing to give it up!"

"Yes, this guy is really good at pretending! Even though he was giving such an expensive gift, he still looked calm and calm!"

A few senior officials on the side were making noises in a low voice.

Doulu Kuan said with a resentful look on his face:"Haha, look at what he can do, maybe he can give his mother a hundred Korean ginseng!"

This is an angry statement.

Everyone smiled one after another.

"Lord Doulu, please be generous!"

"Yes, if you can’t afford it yourself, why don’t you allow others to give it to you?"

"That’s it!"

Doulu Kuan was choked and had a black line on his head.

"Besides, this old Korean ginseng is a hundred years old. Who can give away a hundred ginseng in batches?"

"That’s right, I thought they were bricks on the street, which cost hundreds of dollars just by picking them up?"

At this time,

Cui Minqian also felt a little satisfied with his vanity.

Although he gave Li Shimin two Korean ginseng in pain, just to ease the relationship with Li Shimin.

But he could hear the envious words of these colleagues.

Cui Minqian was still a little bit jealous. Happy.

This wave... is not a loss!

It is at this time.

The singing officer then said:"Li Yi, I will give you three calligraphy and paintings, the original works of Du Xianggong……"

At this moment, everyone's expressions dropped.

I’ve never seen anyone so shameless!

Can you give me a gift and take some snacks?

This is for Your Majesty, please be a little more careful, okay?

At any rate, if you give me a calligraphy and painting from someone from the previous dynasty, it will at least have collection value.

What did you give to Du Ruhui?

He is not proficient in calligraphy and painting!

Besides, if you give it to Yan Liben or Yu Shinan, he is more reliable.

By sending Du Ruhui as a gift, doesn't this also humiliate Du Ruhui?

What a retard!

You, Li Yi, are so unkind for the sake of wealth!

Obviously he is so rich, and it is such a good time to show off.

You're so fucking picky!

Just dig and search!

Do you still want to lose face?
