"The good princes and princesses you have taught!”
Empress Zhangsun finally got rid of Zhangsun Chong and quickly came to Li Shiming's side!
But Li Shiming said to Empress Zhangsun without any hesitation!
"What's going on now? Was he blaming them for not wearing fancy clothes?
This was also a good thing! They know how to be thrifty. Isn't this what you love to teach them?”
Empress Zhangsun patted Li Shiming's back and said with a smile!
However, the anger on Li Shi Min's face didn't decrease at all.
"Forget it if you're not wearing fancy clothes! Go and see them, but none of them gave gifts!
Today is my birthday banquet. All the officials have given gifts, but these princes and princesses haven't!
What was the meaning of this? Are you trying to slap someone's face?!"
As the Emperor, Li Shi Min cared a lot about his reputation!
Because he had killed his brothers, he valued family harmony very much!
However, this scene!
However, he had lost all his face and let the world know that his family had never been harmonious!
No wonder Li Shiming was furious!
"Your Majesty, they are still young. I'm afraid they don't know anything!
After today's birthday banquet, I'll teach him properly!”Empress Zhangsun handled the situation quite appropriately and comforted Li Shimin!
However, Li Shi Min did not appreciate it at all.
"Haha! He was still young! I think they're old, that's why they dare to be so impudent!
When they were young, they were very obedient!
But now that he had grown up? He started to do whatever he wanted!”
Li Shiming was right!
Just like what Princess Chang Le and Princess Gao Yang had said, they were unable to make their own decisions because they were young!
But now?
They had already grown up!
They were already adults!
They could make their own decisions now!
"Qinghe Cui Clan has come to congratulate you! [Congratulations: 100 taels of gold, three sets of jade Buddha beads, and two thousand-year-old ginseng from the northern border!]”
Just as Li Shiming was scolding him, the eunuch at the door shouted loudly!
The eunuch's voice was sharp but loud!
His voice was even louder than the congratulatory gifts he gave to Duke Qi and Duke Lu!
"Qinghe Cui Clan…"
Hearing this, Li Shi Min's angry shout instantly stopped!
"I didn't expect the Cui Corporation to come!"
Empress Zhangsun was also very surprised!
The Cui Family of Qinghe was a thousand-year-old family from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the present. They controlled all the economic, political, and military lifeblood of Qinghe County!
In Qinghe County, Li Shimin's orders were not even as effective as the orders of the head of the Cui family!
During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Cui family of Qinghe entered the four noble families of Lu, Cui, and Zheng!
In the Tang Dynasty, he was ranked among the five surnames and seven Wangs! 12 prime ministers!
Together with the Cui family of Boling and the Lu family of Fanyang, they were known as "Cui Lu" and enjoyed an extremely high reputation in society!
"Your Majesty, it's the head of the Cui family, Cui Guangyuan.”
Empress Zhangsun stood up and was very happy when she saw the person who had come!
The Cui family of Qinghe and the Lu family of Fanyang were all thousand-year-old aristocratic families with extremely high status in the local area!
In the Great Tang, they were considered top-class nobles.
Therefore, they only sent gifts to Li Shiming's birthday banquet the day before. They rarely attended such a banquet in person!
After all, this was a very embarrassing thing for them!
In the eyes of these aristocratic families, their bloodlines were more orthodox.
What kind of bloodline did Li Shi Min have!
Not clean!
Mixed with the blood of the barbarians!
Therefore, they were ashamed to associate with Li Shiming!
But today!
The Cui Family of Qinghe actually came to the banquet of their own accord, and it was their family head who came personally!
This made Li Shi Min proud!
The unhappiness that the princes and princesses had caused him just now also disappeared in an instant!
Li Shimin stood up and walked towards Cui Guangyuan,
"Cui Guangyuan! Greetings, Your Majesty!" Cui Guangyuan stood still and bowed to Li Shimin!
However, before Cui Guangyuan could bow down, Li Shimin immediately helped Cui Guangyuan up!
"Old Master Cui, you actually got up personally today. It really makes me happy!
I knew you were in Chang 'an and had sent an invitation, but I didn't expect you to really come!”
Li Shi Min laughed out loud!
"His Majesty's birthday banquet! Of course, I'm coming! Only by celebrating His Majesty can our Great Tang last for ten thousand years!”
Cui Guangyuan said in a formal manner!
"Come! Please take a seat!"
Originally, the seats here were all arranged.
From Li Shi Min down, it was the Empress, the Crown Prince, the Princes and Princesses, and the Duke!
But now that Cui Guangyuan had brought the Cui family here, some of the positions had to be changed!
But these changes!
Everyone could understand!
After all, the Cui family of Qinghe was really powerful. They were just dukes, or they only had an official position in the imperial court.
They really couldn't be compared to such a powerful family!
"Come, let the palace banquet begin!"
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Li Shiming announced loudly!
"Old Master Cui, we have to drink two glasses today!”
Li Shimin greeted Cui Guangyuan!
"Of course! However, Your Majesty is healthy, but this old man's body can't! Your Majesty, you can't get this old man drunk!"
Cui Guangyuan said humbly.
"Where, where!"
Li Shi Min waved his hands!
Suddenly! Cui Guangyuan asked,"
"Where's the King of Youzhou? Didn't the King of Youzhou come to Chang 'an two days ago to celebrate His Majesty's birthday?”
When Cui Guangyuan said this, the entire banquet froze!
The King of Youzhou was imprisoned!
How could Cui Guangyuan not know about such an important matter?？
How was this possible?
Obviously, Cui Guangyuan was here to mess things up!
Li Shiming's originally happy face instantly lost its happiness!
"F * ck! This old man didn't come today to celebrate my birthday! There are still other moves!" Li Shi Min cursed in his heart!
He had originally thought that these thousand-year-old aristocratic families had changed!
Now, it seemed like…
It was simply bullsh * t!
"Four years ago, I regretted not meeting the King of Youzhou sooner! At that time, they had already considered him a friend of the young and old!
It was a pity that he had never seen her again after he went to Youzhou Province!
I knew he would come today, so I personally attended the birthday banquet to drink three more cups with the King of Youzhou!
Haha, Your Majesty, quickly ask the King of Youzhou to come out!”
Cui Guangyuan looked at Li Shiming and said with a smile!
However, there were only three words in Li Shiming's mind: Old fox!
