Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the emperor's birthday.
Early in the morning, Wang Qi was dressed neatly.
His robe today is a black robe. Because the Zhou Dynasty advocated black, the robes of officials were mainly black. In addition, ordinary people's formal robes are of this color.
Wang Qi was dressed in a black robe, a turban on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and his hair was combed meticulously.
His whole person was extremely handsome.
Wang Qi left the mansion in a carriage and headed for the imperial city. When Wang Qi arrived outside the imperial city, hundreds of civil and military officials had gathered.
The number of officials gathered this time was extremely large.
They are all for the emperor¡¯s birthday.
In addition, there were also envoys from various countries, all gathered outside the imperial city.
Wang Qi got off the carriage and stood at the end of the team. After all, he is a commoner and has no class. While Wang Qi was standing, Cui Dongshan and Lin Yuanchong also arrived, and they came hand in hand.
Wang Qi saw Cui Dongshan and Lin Yuanchong, stepped forward and saluted: "Teacher, uncle!"
Cui Dongshan said: "You kid, it has only been a short time since we arrived in Chang'an. Only a few days have passed and there has been a big commotion again."
Wang Qidao: "This disciple has no choice but to do so."
Cui Dongshan stroked his beard and smiled.
Cui Dongshan is extremely satisfied with Wang Qi, a closed disciple.
Lin Yuanchong said: "Be upright and do things well. Chang'an is a fame and fortune fair, and it's easy to get caught up in it. Don't lose your heart."
Wang Qidao: "Remember Master's teachings."
The three of them were chatting, unaware of the passage of time. As they approached, the palace door opened wide, and a eunuch shouted for all the officials to come in for the pilgrimage. Lin Yuanchong and Cui Dongshan each returned to the queue and entered the court along the procession.
Wang Qi was at the end, walking forward together. When they entered the main hall, the chiefs of the three provinces and six ministries of the DPRK, as well as the other officials, took their seats. Wang Qi sat at the end of the table and stood in the corner of the entrance to the main hall.
Wang Qi¡¯s position is very inconspicuous.
As for the envoys from various countries who came to the court, a separate area was set aside for the envoys of each country to sit.
Not long after, Zhao Zhen entered the court.
After Zhao Zhen took his seat, everyone stood up and saluted before taking their seats.
Zhao Zhen glanced at the military officer Chao Zhongwen, with a faint smile on his face. He was in a good mood these days, because he felt that he had gained a lot from refining elixirs according to the "Golden Alchemy Record" written by Heavenly Master Zhang Fu, as well as practicing meditation.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Where is Wang Qi?"
Wang Qi stood up from the corner of the hall and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Zhen waved and said: "Come to the front. This time you come to the court to celebrate your birthday, not only on behalf of yourself, but also on behalf of your father, Zhenbei Marquis Wang Zongxi. So, sit in the front. Well, sit down next to your teacher Cui Dongshan. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Qi thanked him and walked straight to Cui Dongshan and sat down.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court looked at Wang Qi. Even the prime ministers of the three provinces also noticed Wang Qi.
Wang Qi has not yet become an official.
Although Wang Qi has gained some fame in Chang'an in the past few days, in the eyes of the prime ministers of the three provinces, Wang Qi is just a child. However, Emperor Zhao Zhen's actions today made no one dare to underestimate Wang Qi.
The reason is simple. Wang Qi is favored by the emperor.
This is the most important.
As Wang Qi sat down, Zhao Zhen withdrew his gaze, and everything was back on track. As Guan Dian presided over the birthday celebration ceremony, first the princes Zhao Yu, Qi Wang Zhao Zhi and Jin Wang presented gifts.
The gifts from Prince Zhao Yu are two gifts prepared by Wei Yuanli. The response to the first birthday gift, the jade unicorn, was mediocre, and Zhao Zhen had no reaction. On the contrary, it was the prayer from Taoist Heavenly Master Yang Sanqian, which made Zhao Zhen very satisfied.
So much so that Zhao Zhen praised Zhao Yu for his thoughtfulness one after another.
Zhao Yu was naturally happy because Wei Yuanli's arrangements had won him the emperor's praise.
The gift presented by King Zhao Zhijin of Qi was a strange stone. This stone, when viewed as a whole, shows the character Tao. The plan of King Zhao Zhi of Qi was to do what he wanted, hoping to suit the emperor's wishes. But compared to the gift prepared by Zhao Yu, the emperor preferred the gift from the prince, but Zhao Zhen also praised Zhao Zhi.
When it was the turn of Jin Wang Zhao Qian and other princes, the gifts they prepared were very ordinary, and Zhao Zhen also praised them one by one.
Immediately afterwards, all civil and military officials participated.
When the civil and military officials presented their contributions, although Wang Qi was sitting in front, heI introduced commoners, so I was not in a hurry to give gifts.
Wang Qi did not come forward, but Zhao Zhi did not let Wang Qi go.
Zhao Zhi was extremely dissatisfied with Wang Qi in his heart. This time Ye Yonglin and others fell into prison. Sun Lang returned to Prince Qi's Mansion. After discussing countermeasures with him, Zhao Zhi decided to silence him to prevent Ye Yonglin from spreading the news.
However, when the people from Prince Qi¡¯s palace went to the Chang¡¯an County government office to silence him, they failed to kill Ye Yonglin. Because before they took action, Ye Yonglin was instigated by Zhao Yan and had already turned to the East Palace, telling everyone about the many things he had done for Zhao Zhi over the years.
Although Ye Yonglin did not have many secrets, once the news fell into the hands of the East Palace, Zhao Zhi was caught off guard, making the situation of Prince Qi's palace even more unfavorable.
Thanks to Zhao Zhi¡¯s strong strength, the impact of the Ye Yonglin incident was suppressed.
Even so, the situation in the court was also unfavorable to Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi knew that this matter was arranged by Wang Qi. If it weren't for Wang Qi, he wouldn't be so passive.
??Previously, Fu Yanqing did not deal with Wang Qi; later Dong Cheng also did not deal with Wang Qi; and now Ye Yonglin is the same. Every time Prince Qi's mansion was in an unfavorable situation, it had something to do with Wang Qi.
Zhao Zhi wanted to kill Wang Qi quickly.
Zhao Zhi stood up in one step and said with a smile: "Father, Wang Qi is here on behalf of the Marquis of Zhenbei. He is sitting next to Cui Gong now. Since he has participated in Father's birthday celebration, it is expected that he has also prepared a gift. Wang Qi is here. My son has heard of Qi's reputation. Wang Qi is extremely smart and resourceful. I guess the gifts he prepared must be unique."
As soon as these words came out, everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Wang Qi.
Zhao Zhen stroked the beard under his chin and chuckled: "Wang Qi, what gift have you prepared this time?"
When everyone heard this title, they were all shocked.
Wang Qi only met the emperor once, that is, he presented a book of golden elixirs. How could he be so favored by the emperor?
It¡¯s so shocking.
This scene even fell in the eyes of Uwei, the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu who was observing the ceremony and congratulating his birthday in the area of ??the Fanbang mission. He frowned. Originally, when Uwe attended the emperor's birthday celebration, he was planning to make trouble in the court and ask the emperor to deal with Wang Qi's beating of Punu.
Now it seems that the emperor will most likely not deal with Wang Qi.
Because Wang Qi is favored by the Holy Spirit.
Wang Qi stood up, walked out, and bowed to Zhao Zhen. With a smile on his face, he said: "Your Majesty, although the gifts prepared by the common people are prepared with great care, they are relatively ordinary. Please forgive me."
Zhao Zhen said: "It doesn't matter!"
Zhao Zhi chuckled and said: "Wang Qi, my father gave you the Chihu Sword, which shows how good my father is to you. You know, we princes and grandsons don't have this kind of treatment, we can only envy it. Not at all. To put it politely, my father treats you better than any of his royal descendants. He already treats you as a grandson. Is this how you repay His Majesty?"
Although the tone was light and airy, it was laced with a hint of questioning.
This is Zhao Zhi making trouble, deliberately applying eye drops in front of Zhao Zhen, sowing discord, intending to make Zhao Zhen dissatisfied with Wang Qi.
What does Wang Qi have?
They are the emperor's holy family.
As long as the emperor was dissatisfied with Wang Qi, Wang Qi's support would be gone.
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as it is done with care, I like it. Wang Qi, tell me, what gift have you prepared for me?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
