After listening to Li Dan's words, Li Longji took a deep breath, closed his eyes, turned around and sat aside.
"Father, today is your birthday, we'd better not talk about other things."
"Why can't you tell me? As a father, I am not an emperor, but it does not delay me from knowing that to govern a country, you must first discipline yourself!"
Li Longji rubbed his brows: "All these sons and ministers know that the Imperial Master has told me many times that my ears are almost calloused. Is there anything wrong with what I did?"
"Being a father is not about you now, but about you in the future!"
"What's going to happen next? I've been working hard for decades, but I can't enjoy it anymore?"
"If you want to enjoy it, why don't you just abdicate like a father?"
"Why should I abdicate? In today's world of great governance, I know that the help of ministers is indispensable, but when it comes to governing the country, who can be better than me in the past and present?"
"Yes! With the help of the Imperial Master and others, it will be much easier for me to govern. But even if the Imperial Master and the others are not here, why should I fear that I will not be able to manage the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Dan was speechless by Li Longji and couldn't say anything. He could only sigh and say nothing.
After all, there is nothing worthy of learning from him as a father, so his speech naturally lacks strength.
Then, as the music continued, Yang Yuyao suddenly turned to Yang Yuhuan and stretched out her jade hand.
Yang Yuhuan glanced at Li Hao beside him. Li Hao chuckled and nodded. Yang Yuhuan put down the gift box and stood up to dance with Yang Yuyao.
"It's really shocking..."
Seeing the two people's enchanting dance, Li Longji couldn't help but speak generously.
After a while, people started to arrive, and they began to offer gifts, such as century-old ginseng and other medicinal materials, or rare treasures.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, which shocked everyone.
A lockdown order has been issued here. Even important ministers have to knock on the door. How can they just push it away?
After the man came in, his eyes glanced around.
"The Emperor celebrates his birthday. After decades of hard work, it is rare for you all to gather together. Wouldn't it be boring without me, Li Yunxiao?"
"Emperor Master!"
"The Imperial Master is back!"
Everyone was surprised and surprised, and the one who was surprised was naturally Yuan Tiangang. He also didn't receive news that Li Yunxiao was coming back today.
The officials were surprised. They felt inexplicably relaxed when Li Yunxiao was not here. When Li Yunxiao appeared, they felt a little depressed.
The main reason is that decades ago, Li Yunxiao's reputation was already known to almost everyone. Who dared to despise such killings?
Everyone saw Li Yunxiao walking in with three things.
A mirror, a seal, and a long sword.
When passing by, the ministers all stood up and saluted.
"I've met the Imperial Master!"
Li Dan also greeted him quickly: "Oh, Imperial Master, you are finally back!"
Looking at Li Dan, who looked a little older, Li Yunxiao smiled lightly and said, "I just went to visit other places and benefited a lot. I'll give you these three things."
"This is?"
"This is a gadget from the Japanese country. This mirror is called the Eight-foot Mirror, this jade is called the Eight-foot Qiong Magatama, and this sword is called the Tiancongyun Sword."
Li Dan had never heard of these names and found them very strange.
"These must cost the Imperial Master a lot of money."
"It didn't cost anything, it was given to me for free."
"Free?"
Li Yunxiao waved his hand: "Okay, I haven't been back for a long time, but there are many strange faces. Don't let me ruin your interest. Let's continue playing music and dancing!"
After the words fell, the elegant music sounded again.
Yuan Tiangang has never looked away since Li Yunxiao came in.
This white hair is really eye-catching. Could it be that his longevity elixir has failed?
Li Yunxiao looked at Yuan Tiangang and gave him a reassuring look, proving that he was in good health. Then he came near Li Longji, leaned close to his ear, and said in a low tone: "I heard that you have been feeling down lately? "
"But because of her?"
Li Yunxiao glanced at Yang Yuhuan, and when he turned his head, he realized that Yang Yuhuan was looking back at Li Yunxiao from time to time while dancing.
Even Yang Yuyao on the side was stunned, and her graceful dancing posture became a little stiff. When she saw Li Yunxiao looking over, she thought he was looking at her, and lowered her head with a red face.
When Li Longji saw Yang Yuhuan look like this when he saw Li Yunxiao, it was very similar to when he saw him for the first time, and his heart suddenly seemed to be blocked.
"Emperor Master, I have worked hard to cure it, but now I can enjoy it, isn't it okay?"
Li Yunxiao nodded: "Yes, of course, you are the greatest in the world, but in everything, too much is never enough. You are the example of the Tang Dynasty, don't go too far."
"So what does the Emperor think is going too far?"
Li Yunxiao stretched out a finger and tapped Li Longji's chest: "You should know better than me."
After the words fell, Li Yunxiao ignored everyone's gaze and came directly to sit next to Yuan Tiangang.
After sitting down, Li Yunxiao poked at Yuan Tiangang and took out a piece of jade under the table.
"I found this night pearl by chance. It's much bigger than mine. I give it to you."
Yuan Tiangang accepted the Night Pearl and asked calmly: "What's wrong with your body?"
"Every gain must come with a loss. Shouldn't Brother Yuan be happy? It affects the number of days and proves that we have won!"
Yuan Tiangang sighed: "Come back this time for Yang Yuhuan?"
Li Yunxiao shook his head: "No more."
"More than that? Who else?"
After a long time, Li Yunxiao remained silent. Yuan Tiangang could not help but frown and said in a low tone: "I don't know how you know more than me."
"But if you want to stop these things yourself, why don't you treat your brother as someone else?"
Li Yunxiao laughed and put his arm around Yuan Tiangang's shoulders: "What did you say? Of course I came back to enjoy myself, and I can't just hang out outside all the time, right?"
"By the way, have you seen the person I asked you to see?"
Yuan Tiangang knew that Li Yunxiao wanted to change the subject, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"Brother Yunxiao, are you talking about that Li Bai?"
"Yes, I met him outside. Isn't he very talented?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded: "You are indeed very talented, but being talented does not mean you can be in a high position, nor does it mean you can join the bad guys."
Speaking of this, Yuan Tiangang changed the topic: "But he is very suitable to join the Taishi Bureau and write the Yongzhen Canon."
Li Yunxiao smiled lightly and said: "If you ask him to be a sixth-grade official, it will probably be quite embarrassing."
"By the way, Brother Yuan, long time no see, how about a competition?"
Yuan Tiangang turned his head to look at Li Yunxiao and shook his head.
"What? Are you afraid of losing?"
“When will I be afraid of losing?”
"Then let's compare?"
"Can't we compare when we go back? Now it's the Emperor's birthday, how can we..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yunxiao took out the turtle from his arms and placed it on the table.
Yuan Tiangang, with quick eyes and quick hands, also took out a turtle from his arms. The two of them lay on the edge of the table and crawled towards the other side...
There was singing and dancing in the house, but many people were looking at Li Yunxiao and Yuan Tiangang.
They all had dull faces at this time. Just now they saw the two of them talking and laughing, and then they suddenly took out two turtles on the table. It looked like they were competing?
After Li Hao glanced at it for a few times, he glanced at Yang Yuhuan who had finished her dance, and saw that she was still looking straight at Li Yunxiao, which made him reach out and pat her.
"How can you be so rude and stare at someone else's Imperial Master?"
Yang Yuhuan seemed to have just calmed down, bit his lip lightly, and lowered his head shyly.
Yang Guozhong was only an eighth-grade official at this time and was not qualified to come in, but because of someone's favor, he also joined in.
He saw Yang Yuyao staring at Li Yunxiao with a smile, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't remind him like Li Hao, and just drank by himself.
The two were originally brothers and sisters, but the reality is unknown.
