If it were placed in the past or elsewhere, those responsible for recording the gift list would definitely have announced the congratulatory gifts on the gift list loudly.

It's just that today is the birthday of King Jin, so some rules still need to be followed.

The clerk in charge of recording took a look at the gift list sent by the Li family, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He couldn't help but look up at Chang Shi.

Prince Jin's Palace Chief Shi just glanced at the document, and then looked at Li Wenxiang with a smile on his face: "Mr. Li's family has worked hard on the border for so many years and contributed a lot to the taxation of Taiyuan Prefecture. It is the prince who should reward Mr. Li. Hurry up.

Please come in, please come in."

Chang Shi nodded sideways, led Li Wenxiang into the side door of the palace, and then turned back to the door.

But the clerk in charge of recording already had some uneasiness on his face, and his eyes never left Chang Shi for even a moment.

Shi, the chief minister of the Jin Dynasty, was puzzled. When he arrived, he whispered: "What's wrong?"

There was some embarrassment in the text, so after thinking about it, he pushed the gift list from the Li family in front of Chang Shi.

Prince Palace Chief Shi looked down, with a look of surprise on his face as well.

I saw that the gift list Li Wenxiang brought did not contain the dazzling array of congratulatory gifts, but only a few paragraphs.

There are Fu Lu Shou rice cakes worth not much, a Shoushan stone sculpture ornament, eighteen pieces of Sichuan brocade, and eighteen pieces of Suzhou embroidery.

If it were someone else, this kind of gift bill might be considered a big deal.

But if you put it over the Li family, it's just a drop in the bucket.

In other words, it can be said that the Li family did not take it to heart at all when it came to King Jin's birthday this year and just dealt with it.

"His heart is so clear!"

Palace Chief Shi whispered twice, then calmed down and looked at the document: "Put the gift list away, don't let it be passed around!"

The clerk didn't dare to say anything, nodded repeatedly and carefully stuffed the Li family's gift list into his arms.

Only then did Prince Palace Chief Shi return to the door.

It was precisely at this time that the car and sedan of the chief officer of Shanxi Province's Sansi Yamen appeared in front of the Jin Palace at the same time.

Changsun Gong, Zhou Yunkun, Liu Liang, and Guo Yuchuang appeared in front of the palace at the same time as they had agreed.

The four of them climbed the steps together and arrived in front of Chang Shi.

"Today is a happy day. Prince Jin is born, and the whole city of Taiyuan is congratulating him. I'm waiting to come here tonight to ask for a few drinks."

As a vassal in Shanxi Province, Changsun Gong was the first to speak and spoke politely.

The Chief of the Palace, Shi, bowed down and said: "The feudal lord is very polite. The Prince is waiting for a few of you to come over now. I will lead you into the palace now, and we will welcome the grandson into the city together later."

Changsun Gong nodded.

In previous years, on King Jin's birthday, the banquet could begin after a few of them arrived.

But this year is different.

Zhu Yunxi was the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. After leaving the capital, he had the authority of the emperor himself. Tonight, as long as Zhu Yunxi entered Taiyuan City, everyone including the Jin Dynasty had to walk out of the palace and open the main gate of the palace to welcome Zhu Yunxi into the palace.

, and then the seats can be opened.

Several people entered the palace.

The palace has already been bustling with excitement and drumming.

Even the Taiyuan gongs and drums prepared outside Taiyuan City a few days ago in order to welcome Zhu Yunxi on his way north, several sets of Taiyuan gongs and drums were prepared in the Jin Palace today.

Not to mention the troupe that is a must-have for any palace banquet in Yingtian Emperor's city.

The Prince of Jin's Mansion did not have a theater troupe, but among the Shanxi merchants in Taiyuan City, none of them had a theater troupe.

In the square in front of the main hall of the palace, several theater troupes were showing on the same stage.

Tables of Eight Immortals were lined up from the palace gate to the steps in front of the main hall.

The main hall of the palace.

Today, Jin King Zhu Fan, who has changed into a bright red dress, is inserting one hand on the jade belt around his waist and using the other hand, he is constantly greeting those who come to congratulate him.

When Changsun Gong and others walked into the hall, greeted by the royal palace chief, everyone looked at them with concern.

Zhu Fan opened his hands and laughed loudly: "I've been waiting for you guys! Come here quickly, I will make sure you don't get drunk tonight."

Changsun Gong and others hurried forward.

Liu Liang glanced at the environment in the hall and said from the side: "No one in Shanxi knows about the prince's huge amount. Even if I and several other people put together, they can't even compare to the prince's."

Zhou Yunkun laughed out loud at the side, pointed at Liu Liang and joked: "I still remember last year, you were the first to be defeated by the prince in the army."

Liu Liang's face turned red: "I was not prepared."

Changsun Gong smiled and said nothing.

Zhu Fan grabbed Liu Liang and said, "Let's compete again today. Let's defeat our brother first."

Liu Liang immediately echoed: "Xia Guan is determined to be the forerunner of the prince, and he will overthrow Zhou Jitai!"

Zhou Yunkun's face was stunned: "Didn't I agree to knock the prince down today? How come you, Liu Liang, have rebelled against the enemy now?"

"Who asked you to settle old scores?"

Liu Liang moved his mouth and rolled his eyes at Zhou Yunkun.

The atmosphere was extremely good at this moment.

Changsun Gong turned his head and looked outside the palace: "I think His Highness Taisun should be coming soon."

Zhu Fan immediately laughed and said: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about the business. Let's go outside and wait together."

Having said that, he took the first step.

In the palace, there were officials from the Taiyuan City Si Yamen, and leading Shanxi merchants and Jin gentry followed them one after another.

Outside Taiyuan City, under Zhenyuan Gate.

Zhu Yunxi, dressed in bright yellow uniforms, rode his horse slowly and was guarded by soldiers and horses on the left and right.

The officers and soldiers of the camp guarding outside the city gate, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Taiyuan garrison station inside the city gate, have already cleared the road.

"The general will respectfully welcome His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun into the city!"

Officer Qianhu of the Yuanmen Guard Station in Taiyuan Town, leading a group of his subordinates, stood under the Zhenyuan Gate, shouting loudly.

Zhu Yunxi remained silent and walked past these people without changing his expression.

Go through the city gate.

My eyes suddenly brightened up, and there were bright red lanterns everywhere.

On the street ahead, some government servants and royal guards saw Zhu Yunxi's team entering the city from a distance, and immediately turned around and rushed towards the Jin Palace to report the news.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Taiyuan City with a smile.

"Your Highness, the officers and soldiers in the camp have begun to enter the tunnel one after another at this moment. The first ones will be waiting in the small courtyard where the crippled people are.

As long as you give an order, the army can rush into the city and go to capture the rebels according to the list and location given by the cripple."

Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen was wearing heavy armor and a sword on his waist. He glanced at the alleys in the surrounding corners with gloomy eyes.

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

"Then let's take advantage of Third Uncle Wang's birthday to put on a good show for Taiyuan City."
