June 7th.

Zhou Ming's 20th birthday celebration began grandly.

On this day, the whole world celebrated together, and was very lively, singing and dancing, and the whole country was carnival.

Zhou Ming, dressed in gorgeous costume, also sat in the middle of the Etiquette Hall, accepting gifts from ministers and nobles.

When every official gives a gift, the etiquette officer will make a loud announcement.

"Prime Minister Orusconi, I will give His Majesty ten stones of gold, ten boxes of jewelry, hundreds of rare treasures, and ten peerless beauties. I wish His Majesty a long life and a heaven and a perfect empire forever!"

"The emperor's uncle, Lord Rubost, will give His Majesty ten stones of gold, ten boxes of rare treasures, ten pieces of rare treasures, and ten beauties of the royal family. I wish His Majesty ten years and the empire will be prosperous forever!"

"The Chief Minister of the Court Lord Hagos, I will give His Majesty nine stones of gold, silver, nine boxes of jewelry, fifty treasures, and ten beauties. I wish His Majesty heroic and healthy, and the Empire is prosperous and prosperous!"

"Mr. Weilong Ponder, the second-in-Celebrity minister, will I give you the 10 beauties to His Majesty XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and I wish His Majesty XXXX..."

“…”

Zhou Ming, who was sitting on the main seat, felt even more irritable when he heard these notifications.

Beauty, beauty...

Every minister or nobleman contains the so-called "beauty" in his gift!

The largest number was given away ten.

The one who gave the least was given, and at least two were given... which means good things are in pairs.

The most unconscionable thing is that some ministers use back doors, entrusting relationships, and bribery to make those beauties dressed in etiquette walk through the etiquette hall and wander around under Zhou Ming's nose.

Among them are talent performances, foreign countries, twin sisters, triplet sisters, and extremely rare quadplug sisters.

Anyway, there are all kinds of beauties!

In half an hour, at least three or four hundred beauties passed by Zhou Ming's eyes.

If it weren't for the special day today and it was difficult to have an attack, he might have cursed on the spot!

You even have to punish some of the excessive behaviors!

But he still endured it and did not have an attack.

When the gift ceremony ended and Zhou Ming became extremely impatient, the etiquette officer who had been singing loudly suddenly got stuck and stopped reciting the gift list in his hand.

"Why don't you read it?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, the gifts given by this nobleman are of low value and are extremely rude to Your Majesty. I dare not read them." The etiquette official said with his head down.

"Remember!" Zhou Ming said.

"It's Your Majesty... Lord Elsa, the head of the Lucis family, gave His Majesty 100 boxes of high-quality iron ore, 100 boxes of high-quality sulfur flint (raw materials for making gunpowder), and 100 boxes of light purple wood (ship-making materials)... Your Majesty, these things are ordinary things, and their combined value is not as good as a gem given by other adults. Your Majesty, Lord Elsa of the Lucis family, is despising the emperor's power, is insulting Your Majesty!"

The etiquette officer knelt down and said in great fear: "Your Majesty, the Lucis family is so provocative again, please punish them for their death sentence!"

"Didn't the Lord Elsa give her a beauty?" Zhou Ming asked.

"No! There are beauties on other gift lists, but this list does not! Your Majesty, death penalty, this is death penalty!"

“Hahahaha~”

Zhou Ming suddenly laughed and clapped his hands and said, "The Lord Elsa sent all the things I really need, which is just right! What is the crime of King Elsa?"

The etiquette official was confused.

This is obviously unforgivable. His Majesty is so satisfied with the death penalty of insulting His Majesty?

Your Majesty is so happy for a gift with such a low actual value?

He was a little confused about what the gods like His Majesty were thinking in his mind.

...

After the grand and joyful birthday celebration.

June 8th.

The next day, the court went to the morning court.

Facing the ministers and officials, Zhou Ming was so angry that he scolded the ministers in the hall!

"Ten stones of gold are often used, and ten boxes of treasures are given! I have repeatedly reiterated that this birthday celebration should be handled frugally, and gifts should be given lightly. You are the best. Treasures worth more than one million gold tower shields are like comparing and trying hard to give them. I have completely forgotten that these are all people's wealth and ointment from the lower class. You don't want to improve their treatment or improve their living standards, but just want to please me. Is this unreasonable?"

"There are also those beauties from all over the world. I have asked someone to count them. There are as many as 10,000 people, which is shocking! How did these beauties come from? They bought them for money? They were abducted by kidnapping? Or were they made by other means? I don't know, nor do I want to ask about the specific process. I only know: for this birthday celebration, at least 10,000 families broke down, and more than 10,000 women left their parents and faced an unknown fate!"

"What may be brewing in the end may be tens of thousands of human tragedies!"

"I don't want any of these things, including gold, silver and jewelry, rare treasures, and all beauties, and I will send you all back!"

"In the future, I will not let you do anything like birthday celebrations, as to avoid causing countless tragedies on earth."

Zhou Ming's statement caused an uproar and a wailing sound in the hall.

"Your Majesty, this is all our heart!"

"Your Majesty, we have not used folk fat and paste. All the money is earned through foreign trade!"

"Your Majesty, the ten beauties I gave to Youth Majesty are all willing to enter the palace. Their parents are also very supportive, and they did not cause the family to break down and trigger the tragedy on earth!"

"Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied, we will definitely improve in the future. You said that you will not even hold a birthday celebration in the future. How can your subjects express their love and respect for you in the future? The people need to express their happiness and loyalty in this way. This celebration must not be cancelled!"

The ministers knelt down and tried desperately to dissuade and explain.

"Enough!"

Zhou Ming waved his hand: "Anyway, I will send people to return all the treasures and beauties you gave this time. As for whether or not you will be done after the birthday celebration, I will use other celebration methods to replace them according to the actual situation. In short, I will completely abandon the celebration form yesterday!"

Zhou Ming said again: "In addition, among the hundreds of ministers and nobles in this palace, there is someone who I want to praise!"

"I will accept all the gifts she gave and express my gratitude. I am very satisfied with her gift!"

"She is the King Elsa who has just returned to the emperor. I hope everyone will learn from her!"

Zhou Ming pointed to the noble area on the right and stood in the last corner, Alsa, who was almost invisible to anyone.

Brush!

Everyone in the palace focused on Elsa!

Then there was an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.

"What? His Majesty praised Prince Alsa specifically and accepted the gift she gave?"

"The Lord Elsa, who gave His Majesty two piles of stones and a pile of wood, was not punished?"

"I knew about that yesterday. I thought the Lucis family was dead this time! Unexpectedly, it was us who were scolded, but she who was praised!"

"I'm not convinced. How much energy did I spend to prepare the gift? How much relationship did I support? The result was not as good as the two piles of stones and a pile of wood that others gave me!"

"Hey! Last night, I was discussing with several nobles to jointly request His Majesty to destroy the extremely rude Lucis family, but the result..."

The nobleman was very upset.

"I made a mistake. This time, we all made a mistake!"

Under the complex gaze of the ministers, even though her psychological quality was outstanding, Elsa couldn't help but blush.

She lifted her skirt and said on her knees, "Ersha thanked His Majesty for the praise that Elsha gave His Majesty the three gifts that Elsha gave His Majesty had no intention. She just wanted to say to His Majesty: There are a large amount of iron ore, sulfur flint and wood in my territory. If the empire needs it, I am willing to supply a large amount of goods and guarantee a discount."

"I understand what you mean. I will ask someone to place an order and buy these resources at a suitable price. As for the price, I will never let King Elsa suffer a loss!"

Zhou Ming said: "I also hope that other ministers and nobles can think what the empire thinks and be anxious about what the empire needs, instead of studying evil ways all day long and wasting a lot of people's wealth and cream in vain."

"In addition, in order to encourage everyone to learn from the King Elsa, I have ordered that the King Elsa King Elsa King Golden Tower Shield be rewarded with 100,000 gold tower shield, ten boxes of jewelry, and the official position will be upgraded to one level. She can stand in the noble area and take effect immediately!"

After Zhou Ming's reward continued, Elsa immediately, under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, under the eyes of countless jealous and hatred, she lined up from the end of the noble area to the middle of the queue.

In this way, due to the closer distance and the reduced obstruction, Zhou Ming can see her more easily.

Not only that, Zhou Ming also gave her a relatively difficult task to send the ministers and nobles and give him tens of thousands of beauties.

Because if all these beauties are returned, there is no doubt that during the return process, these beauties will definitely be affected by the ministers and nobles. A considerable number of them will definitely not be sent home, but will be enjoyed by the ministers and nobles... This is equivalent to harming them.

So considering this, Zhou Ming temporarily gathered all the tens of thousands of beauties, and then arranged an official who could control it to properly handle the matter.

Who is better responsible for this?

Looking at the male officials in the hall, Elsa, who stood out as a flock of chickens, as the only woman, it was most appropriate to give her this job.

But considering the complexity of this task and its high difficulty, Zhou Ming still asked Elsa: Can she accept this work and complete it better?

Elsa frowned, thought carefully, then gritted her teeth and nodded, "Your Majesty, I can accept this work!"

"good!"

Zhou Ming praised: "Ersa, I believe you will not let me down. If the mission is completed well, I will give you a great reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chapter completed!
