Origin Story

大唐盛世，国泰民安，百姓安居乐业。一日，唐玄宗在皇宫中举办盛大的宴会，宴请文武百官，以庆祝国家太平。宴会结束后，玄宗皇帝心情大好，便命人将皇宫里的金银财宝，分发给前来参加宴会的官员们。官员们一个个喜笑颜开，纷纷向玄宗皇帝表示感谢。这时，一位老臣却迟迟没有上前领赏，玄宗皇帝便问他：“为何不领赏？”老臣答道：“陛下，天下百姓如今都过着安居乐业的生活，这才是最大的赏赐啊！我们这些做臣子的，能为陛下分忧，也是我们的荣幸。所以，臣等不敢贪图这些金银财宝。”玄宗皇帝听了老臣的话，十分感动，便将金银财宝全部收了起来，并下令将这些钱财用来救济灾民。此后，唐玄宗便更加勤政爱民，励精图治，大唐盛世也因此更加繁荣昌盛。
