I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 502 Birthday
"I am indeed good at it, but how to employ me is up to Your Highness. As long as I can serve the Tang Dynasty, I will go anywhere." Zheng Xuan replied respectfully.

"Now you're back."

"I will work in the Ministry of War, but as an assistant minister."

"As for the future, there will be more important appointments."

"Master Zhu."

"You will go to the Ministry of Personnel and serve as an assistant minister."

"As for Master Chu Suiliang, you will go to the Ministry of Works as a minister."

Li Zheng smiled and made arrangements for the three people directly.

Hear the words.

The three of them immediately stood up and bowed to Li Zheng: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace."

The three of them are all capable ministers of the Tang Dynasty, with excellent abilities and emotional intelligence. Li Zheng's arrangement of them naturally has a deep meaning.

Li Jing from the Ministry of War.

Minister of Personnel Sun Wuji.

The Ministry of Industry opened up the economy.

They are all old and will have to retire soon. No matter how much they crave power, they will eventually step down.

As assistant ministers of various ministries, they would obviously get the opportunity to become ministers.

This is Li Zheng training them, and also to recruit new people for the future new dynasty.

"Well, you just came back, I will allow you five days to rest."

"Five days later, come to the East Palace to receive your appointment documents and take up your posts in various departments." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The three of them expressed their gratitude.

Many people returned to Chang'an today to report on their work.

In addition to coming to the court to argue their case, these high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty had to first enter the palace to meet Li Shimin.

This is a rule and even more of a etiquette, which cannot be violated.

In addition to these transferred back officials, there are also royal family members.

There were also elderly people of advanced age selected from all over the country by the Ministry of Rites, all of whom were there to celebrate Li Shimin’s birthday.

"In five days, Father will celebrate his birthday."

"this day."

"It is also the day when our Tang Dynasty truly changes."

"Medicine, martial arts."

"All these will come out." Li Zheng muttered to himself.

Time flies.

Soon, five days passed.

This day.

It was the fiftieth birthday of Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Early in the morning.

The entire palace was extremely lively.

There were red carpets everywhere, and eunuchs and palace maids were busy everywhere. The guards were very strict today, and there were imperial guards everywhere. Outside the palace, there were the Yulin Army.

Such a grand event.

All the officials gathered.

The level of alert was also directly increased.

If something chaotic happens on this day, it would not be a good thing.

Outside Tai Chi Hall.

On the square.

The table is already full.

Many people came to the banquet today, including the families of court officials, the royal family, and old masters from all over the Tang Dynasty. The number of these old masters was more than two hundred.

So all aspects must be done well.

This time it was organized by the Ministry of Rites, so as the Shangshu he had been busy, fearing that there would be any omissions. Besides the birthday celebration, there would be something more solemn today.

"Are all the dishes prepared?" Chen Shubao asked his subordinates.

"Return to my lord."

"The imperial kitchen is preparing it. There are two hundred chefs and more than five hundred attendants helping." The subordinate official replied immediately.

"On the emperor's birthday, no mistakes are allowed."

"It's not just the dishes, but also the seating and rules. I will personally monitor all of these."

"You must remember to keep a close eye on it and no mistakes can be made." Chen Shubao said in a very serious manner.

If something went wrong in this birthday party, even the smallest mistake, it would be a big deal for Chen Shubao and the Ministry of Rites.

He absolutely would not allow this to happen.

"Please rest assured, sir." All the officials from the Ministry of Rites said in unison, each of them was very serious.

"There is less than an hour left until the birthday auspicious time. Hurry and prepare."

"There is only half an hour left. Arrange for the guests to be seated immediately."

"All kinds of fruit dishes are also served. Go ahead."

Chen Shubao said seriously.

"Your Majesty, take your orders."

A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites dispersed and went to do it.

"As long as today's work goes smoothly, my position as Shangshu will be completely secure."

"If there is any omission, it will be over." Chen Shubao said to himself.

He was able to ascend to the position of Shangshu because of Li Zheng's favor. After Chen Jing retired and returned to his hometown, he took over many affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and later took over the Ministry of Rites as a matter of course.

In the Council Hall,

Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne, and today there was a rare solemnity in his expression.

Li Zheng sat in front of him with a smile.

"Father, this birthday celebration is different. You have to wear the crown and robes." Li Zheng teased his father.

Today Li Shimin was so majestic and solemn.

Different from the usual dragon robes.

Hearing his son's teasing, Li Shimin smiled, "My son is celebrating my birthday, can't I dress a little more formally?"

"Get it."

"It's rare for the emperor to be so solemn. It's a good opportunity for our subjects to see the style of the emperor on his 50th birthday." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"You are just a good talker." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Look at the time, it should be almost ready."

"Eunuch Wang."

"What's going on?" Li Zheng turned his head and looked at Wang De who was serving at the entrance of the hall.

"Return to your highness."

"The Minister of Rites just sent someone to report that Hao You should be able to go to the Taiji Hall in about an incense stick of time." Wang De bowed.

"Let me see. The Ministry of Rites has made very thorough preparations this time. I hope it will satisfy you, Father."

"Your 50th birthday must be celebrated beautifully." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"I don't care whether it's my birthday or not. I'm just wondering what gift you're going to give me."

"It's been hidden for so long."

"You just didn't say it." Li Shimin looked very helpless.

Hear this.

"Hahaha."

"You'll know at the birthday party." Li Zheng laughed.

The father and son continued chatting.

About an incense stick of time passed.

Chen Shubao walked quickly into the council hall.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, His Majesty. Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

Chen Shubao entered the hall and bowed respectfully.

"Are you ready?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. All guests should be seated. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince may move to the Taiji Hall Square." Chen Shubao said respectfully.

"Let's go." Li Shimin stood up slowly.

Li Zheng also stood up.

The father and son walked out of the Council Hall, one in front and one behind.

Outside the temple.

A royal carriage is ready.

In the palace.

Only the emperor and Li Zheng can ride in a royal carriage, but today, father and son ride together.

On the Fengtian Temple Square.

All guests have been seated.

Princes from all over the Tang Dynasty, their families, and elders from all over the country.

of course.

There were also civil and military officials, those who had retired at home, and married princesses and counties with their families.

The entire square was filled with tables and people, at least a few thousand people.
