The depression in his heart made him almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Li Wangyou was actually still throwing stones at the side: "Sure enough, the prince is the important minister of the country, the minister of his majesty. Without the guidance of the prince, and with the heart of the people, I really can't think of donating this [-] shi of grain. I am ashamed. "

Wang Renyou's face turned darker, and he didn't know what to say, so he simply stepped aside without saying a word.

There was a smile in the corner of Li Er's eyes. Being disturbed by Li Wangyou, Mi Tuo roughly calculated that, including the Huxian land rent donated by Li Wangyou, a total of nearly 20 shi of grain had been collected from hundreds of officials.

This is not a small amount. In this way, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is raising some funds to settle the millions of disaster-stricken people in Guanzhong Road, and there is no problem.

Thinking of this, Li Er was also in a good mood, and he couldn't help but joked with Li Wangyou: "Ziyou, since you are bleeding so much, you don't need to send any more congratulatory gifts when it's my birthday. I will take the one hundred thousand shi of grain as a gift." A congratulatory gift from you, haha."

However, Li Wangyou waved his hand in a feeling: "Uncle, hehe, I have already prepared the congratulatory gift. How can I not accept it? This congratulatory gift was made by my nephew racking my brains and spending countless manpower and material resources. It is guaranteed to surprise my uncle." .”

Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, so he nodded with a smile: "In that case, then I will wait for Ziyou's congratulatory gift."

"But..." Li Wangyou twitched a bit, planning to take advantage of Li Er's good mood today to explain the matter of "detaining" the 73 court ladies.

He donated [-] shi of food, and only wanted some maids from Li Er, so Li Er wouldn't be reluctant to come, would he?

"But what?" Seeing Li Wangyou faltering suddenly, Li Er felt that something was wrong, this kid might be up to something.

"Hey, uncle, but the 73 maids my nephew brought back to the mansion for rehearsal, hey, [-] of them were punished by my nephew because they made a mistake. Uncle won't blame my nephew, right?"

Hearing this, Li Er felt that it was no big deal, so he waved his hands casually: "This matter is worrying, you can handle it as you see fit, as I said before, those court ladies are disobedient, let you dispose of them."

However, Li Wangyou's next sentence almost made Li Er's nose crooked.

Li Wangyou lowered his voice, and said with a sneer: "Yes, yes, since my uncle said this, my nephew is relieved. My nephew has already punished the 73 court ladies who made mistakes, and punished them to marry me. You are not allowed to return to the palace."

"What?" Li Er couldn't help raising his voice, pointing at Li Wangyou who had an innocent expression on his face: "You, what did you say?"

"What? Uncle? But my nephew didn't deal with it properly? The 73 court ladies were so vulgar. My nephew felt that they would be an eyesore when they returned to the palace, so he simply punished them to get married so that they would not be sent back to the palace. Go, uncle is disgusting."

Li Er took a few deep breaths, stabilized his mood, and slapped the little bastard in front of him to death.

No wonder he borrowed three hundred court ladies from the palace under the pretext of rehearsing for his birthday, and his feelings lay in ambush for him here.

This bastard is planning to learn from his "Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, and he did not repay it!

I'm ashamed to say that my court lady is vulgar!Want to face or not?

Li Er really didn't want to grind his teeth with Li Wangyou anymore, so he snorted coldly, didn't speak, turned around and left: "Mi Tuo, drive back to the palace!"

"No!" Mi Tuo didn't hear the conversation between the uncle and nephew, and didn't understand why.Wasn't His Majesty still in a good mood just now?Why did you have to go back to Chang'an?

But when Li Er said he wanted to go back, he naturally didn't dare to say anything, so he could only order someone to bring the horse over immediately, and helped Li Er get on the horse's back.

Riding on the back of the horse, Li Er pointed at Li Wangyou with the whip in his hand, and said angrily: "In a few days, if I don't see the surprise you mentioned, you can go to Yushitai Prison to report by yourself!"

After Li Er finished speaking, he rode his horse and left, and Mi Tuo and a group of imperial guards naturally quickly followed.

When the officials saw this, although they didn't understand why Li Er left suddenly, they also returned to Chang'an City.

But Cheng Yaojin didn't rush to follow him, but moved to Li Wangyou's side: "Ziyou, what did you say to His Majesty? Are you so mad at him?"

Li Wangyou smiled and rubbed his nose: "Hey, Uncle Cheng, no, nothing?"

Cheng Yaojin raised his palm-sized hand threateningly: "Will you tell me, kid?"

"Hey, it's really nothing, it's just, hey, it's just that I detained dozens of court ladies from His Majesty."

Photo taken by Cheng Yaojin's threats, Li Wangyou whispered that he privately told Cheng Yaojin about the marriage of 73 court ladies, but Cheng Yaojin raised his head and laughed.

"Wahhahaha, you are amazing! It's okay, I have wanted to do this for a long time, but I am not as bold as you. Tsk tsk, others say that I am a hob meat. Now it seems that this title should be given to you. Don't worry, kid, when I go back to the prison, I will ask Chu Mo and the others to visit you, hahahahaha."

Cheng Yaojin satisfied his curiosity, laughed and jumped on the horse, and chased Li Er.Li Wangyou was speechless, and raised two middle fingers to show his admiration towards the figure who was walking away from the old hooligan.

The Harvest Festival did not end because Li Er and the others left, so Li Wangyou didn't bother to pay attention to what Li Er thought. Anyway, the raw rice had already been cooked, so he liked it.

Li Wangyou chuckled, put the matter behind him, led Niu Wu and the others, turned to look for Yang Zuan, and joined the celebrating crowd in Hu County, it was very lively.

Time flies by, and it is the end of the second year of Zhenguan, December 22nd, the birthday of the great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er...

604 Mocking Xiao Yu Shooting

Li Er's birthday was a day that all officials in the court, Chinese and military were looking forward to. There was no other reason, and it was a three-day holiday.

Datang civil servants are still very hard-working. They take a bath once every ten days. The working hours are still very inhumane.

Therefore, Li Ersheng's birthday is celebrated by the whole country, and there is a three-day holiday, which is the favorite of ordinary officials.

Speaking of Li Er's birthday, it is quite simple.It is nothing more than entertaining hundreds of officials, meeting with envoys from various countries, and sending people from various governments to present various gifts, that's all.

On the contrary, Li Er's descendants are more good at playing. Not only did they celebrate their own birthday, but they shamelessly made their birthday a national holiday.For example, Tang Xuanzong's birthday was set as the Qianqiu Festival, Tang Suzong's was set as the Tiancheng Diping Festival, Tang Xianzong's birthday was set, and there were other festivals such as Shengsheng Festival and Yingtian Festival.

In short, the descendants of Li Er's descendants are not as good as his ancestors in terms of Wentao and Wushu, but they are far superior in terms of smell and shame.The emperor's birthday was regarded as a birthday, and the regulations for celebrating ceremonies in the ritual ceremony also began in the Tang Dynasty.

On Li Er's birthday, there will be a grand banquet in the Taiji Hall, and all officials in the court above the fourth and fifth ranks can participate.

Unlike ordinary people celebrating their birthdays, the gifts that Li Er can receive on his birthday are very simple. There are only two gifts, the golden mirror and the Chenglu pouch.

There is a record in the "Old Tang Book", "Below the kings and princes, the golden mirror and the bag of dew will be presented, and the states of the world will feast and have fun for three days..."

The golden mirror is naturally not a mirror made of gold, but a bronze mirror.As for the bag of dew, it is just an accessory, which is used to wear some small objects around the waist. In fact, it is a metaphor for the officials to bathe in the grace of the king.

In other words, for Li Er's birthday, the gift he received was just a few hundred bronze mirrors, plus hundreds of sachets and purses, which was very pitiful.

Not only did Li Er not earn "red envelope gifts" for his birthday, but he also had to lose money.

In addition to hosting a banquet, Li Er had to have a "shooting ceremony" with his officials, that is, an archery competition. If he won, he would be rewarded and rewarded, and if he lost, he would be fined with wine.

After Li Wangyou learned about this "shooting ceremony", he couldn't help but feel very depressed. Didn't this idiot deliberately oppose him?

Is it something that a jade-faced young man like him should be able to do things like archery?

The place where the shooting ceremony is held is in front of Wude Hall.An archery target is set up ninety steps away from the gate of the hall for Li Er and his ministers to shoot arrows.

However, the archery targets in the Tang Dynasty were not circular archery targets, but made of various animal furs, which were called "Hou".

Li Er shoots bear skin, called "Xionghou", Baiguan shoots deer skin, called "Luhou".

On the left and right sides of the archery target, there are also barriers to block the arrows. This is naturally because a minister like Li Wangyou, who is so handy, may accidentally injure others with the arrows he shoots.

It was the first time for Li Wangyou to participate in such an event, and everything felt very novel.

Li Er and all the officials sat down in front of Wude Hall, Taichang Temple began to play music, and everyone drank and had fun.After drinking twice, Mi Tuo bowed to Li Erzuo and said, "Everyone, you Si Jinju, please shoot!"

"Can!"
