First, a few words about something else. I've seen a lot of dissatisfaction with the Duke of Yansheng. Initially, he was passable, but later on, it really wasn't quite up to par. After all, dynasties changed, and no matter who became emperor, they had to give Confucius face, so the Kong family held a special position. Scholars were highly respected in feudal dynasties, and the officials who governed the country were all scholars. Confucius held a special place in the hearts of scholars. Giving privileges to the Kong family was actually a way to win over scholars, a political tactic used by the emperor to gain their favor, something he certainly wanted to exploit. The decision to appoint a Kong family member as the dean of the academy wasn't a big deal, simply because he felt no one was more suitable. With so many people saying this, there's definitely going to be a patch to limit his role. He doesn't have a big role; the core of the story is still the little princess. He's just a tool, so don't make too much of it.
Li Shimin picked up the little princess and rubbed her, "Okay, okay, this is Sizi's gift to Grandpa!"
"Hmmmm~ little money~"
"Okay, okay, Grandpa likes it very much." Li Shimin took the gift from the little princess. It was all money!
Princess Chengyang was holding a pile of paper cranes, all made from banknotes, which were worth almost ten thousand strings of cash.
"Grandpa, I wish you all the best, longevity and good health!" Princess Chengyang came over.
Li Shimin smiled from ear to ear and hugged Princess Chengyang.
Today's two little princesses rarely leaked anything.
The gifts prepared by Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were relatively large and could not be given to Li Shimin in person.
"Xiao Ran! What surprise do you have for me?" Li Shimin liked what Xiao Ran prepared.
"Uncle, happy birthday!" Xiao Ran took out a box and handed it over.
Li Shimin was startled, put down the two little princesses, and took the box excitedly.
Li Shimin was familiar with this box. This was the Lanting Preface!
[Hahaha! No one could have guessed that when I asked for this gift, I had already planned to give it to Li Shimin on his birthday!]
Li Shimin quickly opened it and found that it was the Lanting Preface he had given to Xiao Ran before. "Did you really give it to me?"
"Uncle, if you don't like it, I'll change it."
"Don't give me that!"
Xiao Ran couldn't appreciate it. There were many corrections and he really couldn't see what was so good about it. Xiao Ran even felt that it was not as good-looking as the regular script copybook.
Before, I just wanted to see what it looked like, and now that I have seen it, I am satisfied.
Li Shimin gave it to Xiao Ran because he felt he owed Xiao Ran too much. Xiao Ran gave it back because the thing didn't mean much in his hands and it couldn't be considered an authentic item, so it would be better to leave it to the Tang Dynasty. It would also be good to give it to Li Shimin.
Xiao Ran also made several copies and kept them, which was enough.
"Okay, okay, I like this gift very much."
Li Shimin handed it to Zhang Ananda.
Li Lizhi also didn't know that Xiao Ran would give the Lanting Preface to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was in high spirits and raised his glass. "I am hosting a banquet today to celebrate with all of you. I hope you will all work together to ensure the long-term stability of our country and share in this peaceful and prosperous era."
"Long live His Majesty! Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
"Long live His Majesty, long live the Tang Dynasty!"
...
Li Yuan felt quite proud when he saw this scene, as Li Shimin had not disgraced the Tang Dynasty.
During Li Yuan's lifetime, he watched the Tang Dynasty wash away the Weishui Alliance, saw all nations come to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and saw the Tang Dynasty become more and more powerful!
Li Shimin also picked up the wine glass and walked to Li Yuan, "Father, I toast you!"
"Okay, Erlang, come and drink!" Li Yuan also picked up the wine glass.
Others began to move around and toast each other.
"Aunt~ Cheers~" The little princess found Li Yuan with a bottle of Wangzai milk and clinked glasses with him.
"Come on, Sizi, cheers!" Li Yuan also cooperated and clinked glasses with the little princess.
"Young master, have a drink!" Li Chengqian took the initiative to find Xiao Ran.
"Your Highness, drink!"
Xiao Ran looked around in the crowd and saw Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang behind him who were also drinking happily.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, a set of speakers was prepared.
Princess Gaoyang now understands these things very well, so just let her let them go.
"Grandpa is ready, you can play the music." Princess Gaoyang ran to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.
"Okay, let it go!"
The little princess on the other side is the Sheniu, holding a bottle of Wangzai milk and toasting with others everywhere.
"Xibo~"
Ever since she played with Cheng Yaojin once, the little princess has always had a good impression of him.
This little cutie took the initiative to toast, and the others also cooperated.
"Okay, let's listen to something different." Li Shimin shouted, and the Taiji Hall suddenly became quiet.
"This song is dedicated to my grandfather!" Princess Gaoyang held the microphone and spoke loudly.
This made the others a little confused, the princess's voice was so loud.
The song played is exclusive to Emperor Wu of Han, and it has the sound of an emperor.
"You burn yourself to warm the earth!"
"Let yourself be reduced to ashes!"
"Let the flames dance..."
Different songs give everyone a different listening experience.
And [Can't Put It Down].
These were all asked by Princess Gaoyang to Xiao Ran, and recommended by Xiao Ran, and they are suitable for Li Shimin.
The excitement in the Taiji Hall continued, and the little princess Sheniu toasted several bottles of Wangzai milk.
Seeing that the two little princesses were not there, Li Lizhi sat next to Xiao Ran.
Picking up the cup, "Young Master!"
"Wu Niang!"
The two of them drank a glass.
This pleasant atmosphere lasted until nightfall.
The party is not over, but it is time to do other things.
There are still a lot of fireworks outside that have not been set off.
Princess Yuzhang drank a cup with Empress Zhangsun and said, "Grandpa, can we set off the fireworks now?"
Li Shimin looked outside and saw that it was already dark. "Yes, let's go and see the fireworks!"
Xiao Ran specially customized several special ones.
"I want to play~" The little princess was excited when she saw the fireworks.
"Si Zi ordered the biggest one." Li Shimin pointed.
"Uncle, that's specially prepared for you, don't you want to order it?"
"Just order it."
The little princess pulled Xiao Ran, "Little Nangjun~ Let's order together~"
The little princess is too small and not as tall as the fireworks.
"Yeah, okay!"
Xiao Ran held the little princess in his arms, lit the cigarette, put her down and ran away.
"Hehe~"
The little princess was a little confused as to how he could let herself go.
He ran after Xiao Ran happily.
After a few people ran away, there was a muffled sound, and a bright spot rushed into the night sky and exploded instantly!
"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
Several large characters appeared in the night sky of Chang'an City, lighting up most of the night sky!
