Previously, the court was extremely busy with laws and wars, but now that they have this good opportunity to gather together, it seems that they have been relieved of all their pressure.
"Grand Commandant." Suddenly, a voice called to him from the side. He turned around and saw Ying Zheng waving at him, signaling him to come forward.
Knowing that the king had something to ask, the wicked man stepped forward, bowed, and whispered, "Brother, Happy New Year! Hahaha!"

"Is that all?" Ying Zheng lightly touched his sleeve, a hint of dissatisfaction appearing on his face. "You're always pragmatic, kid. I don't believe you set off these firecrackers just for good luck and celebration."
