On this day, at the turn of Shen You, the sky is before it darkens.

In the military tent of the garrison of the palace, Lang Zhong ordered Lord Tuhong to sit in the position of the commander of the garrison, and all his subordinates stood respectfully at the head of the army.

The lieutenant could not be present for some reason, and the lord of the lord, the dignified lieutenant commander Tu personally sat in charge, which made these subordinates all surprised, and also saw that the Lord Tu attached great importance to the safety of the palace tonight.

The king's feast was held all over the world, and the envoys of various countries came to congratulate him, and as the most important guardian force of the palace, they shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the palace.

Master Tu ordered that from the time of the change of guards, the guards around the palace were further strengthened, and the patrol team was divided into four groups, and each group of guards was changed from a group of three to a group of five.

In order to strengthen the defense force, Master Tu specially recruited eight people to supplement them, and each group added two people.

After the arrangement was completed, Master Tu told everyone to step back and prepare for the change of guards, leaving only the four patrol group commanders.

Seeing that everyone retreated, Master Tu slapped his palms, and a full twelve swordsmen in strong suits flashed in, intentionally or unintentionally, dividing the four small commanders.

Poof! poof......

In an instant, without waiting for the four people to react, the twelve men in strong suits made their moves in unison, and the four six-rank commanders were killed instantly.

"Meet Master Tu!"

Twelve swordsmen bowed.

"Prepare. ”

Master Tu stared at everything that was happening in front of him expressionlessly and waved his hand.

The four swordsmen changed into the armor of the four corpses and pretended to be four small commanders, and the remaining eight swordsmen also changed into the patrol guard outfits that had been prepared for a long time.

When they were ready, the twelve people gave up their hands again and withdrew.

Master Tu glanced at the sky that was about to darken, the corners of his mouth flashed with an imperceptible arc, slowly got up, and walked in the direction of the palace Ruixiang Palace.

......

When unitary, Ruixiang Palace, music.

The sound starts first. The long, five-tone long, is the beginning of court ritual music, its sound is clear and varied, and it is also the benchmark tone for playing tunes.

When the sound of the flute began, percussion instruments such as drums, bells, and chimes followed, and the sound of gold and stone instantly resounded throughout the hall. Next, the singer began to sing to the sound of the golden stone, and the rest of the music was played in harmony with the song.

The tune takes the elegance of the wind and the elegance of the song, "Zhongping" and "solemn". For a time, above the main hall, the drum is like the sky, the bell is like the ground, the chime is like water, and the pipe, sheng, and flute are like the stars, the sun and the moon, and the magnificent ritual music on the temple is good.

Who is the most shocked in the audience, the little boy with a wooden sword.

But it was said that the Ruixiang Hall was full of guests at this time. On top of the empty lobby, there are two columns of desks on the left and right sides. The central ministers of the Kaiming Dynasty were headed by Prime Minister Muzi, each of whom had a case, and sat in front of the case in turn on the right. The representatives of the various missions, headed by the Qin State, still had one case per person, sitting in the order of the left.

In front of the middle of the hall, King Lu, the king of a country, also sat in front of the desk.

The most surprising thing is that there is also a case in the lower position of King Lu. It's just that this case is much shorter than the others, because sitting in front of the desk is a baby-old boy.

That's right, this little bit is naturally Du Xuan, and in the eyes of others, he has already shocked Gongzi Pan inside and outside the palace.

The little boy accompanied the king to the side? I didn't see the king say it in advance. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys of various countries had seen a big scene, but the king's move still amazed everyone.

knows that this king has an unruly style, and this time he has seen it.

Just when the hall was full of surprise, Du Xuan was shocked by the court etiquette.

As a knowledgeable, cultured and tasteful traveler, Du Xuan still has a little appreciation, the court band composed of these musicians and singers is of a high standard, the level of a proper modern national song and dance troupe, and it is only high, not low.

At this time, the song ended, announcing the official start of the night feast.

"Congratulations to the king, for all generations!"

Then the ministers and envoys stood up and bowed to the king.

"All the messengers, all the love is flat. ”

The king paused for a while, and then stroked his sleeve.

Everyone thanked them before sitting cross-legged.

Next, the envoys of various countries presented their credentials and congratulatory gifts.

There have already been pawns to greet them, and read out the national letter in the hall, which is nothing more than some beautiful words such as congratulating the king for thousands of generations, wishing to be friendly with the enlightened generation, and lasting friendship.

After the reading, the pawn presented the national letter and the gift list to the king with both hands.

"Feast!"

The king swept over the crowd again and waved his hand.

The chef who specializes in the king led a group of maids to hurry forward and put six kinds of food utensils with different shapes, such as ding, pot, gong, and francium, on the king's case, and the six kinds of utensils represent the six animals of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens, which also means that the night banquet given by the king is of a very high standard.

Next, bottles, bowls, basins, chopsticks and other drinking utensils, dishes and chopsticks are also put on the table.

After the deed, it was the other maids who arranged the envoys and ministers of the DPRK and China in turn.

According to the etiquette system of the time, the meat is first and then the soup, and then the five dishes are fruitless. Six animals on the first case of food, after the end of the meal and then change to the next case, and with wine to accompany it, each case of cooking techniques are different, moxibustion, roasting, baking, simmering each show their powers.

When the first meat dish is on the table, the wine and meat feast will officially begin.

Du Xuan also got a single share, but the portion was very small and the symbolism was greater.

The first thing that came up was horse meat, and at a glance, Du Xuan was even more shocked by the superb knife work, the meat was square, the thickness was uniform, and it was quite a bit measured with vernier calipers.

Confucius once said, "If you don't eat properly, what does it mean?" The knife work is not good, and the meat is not square enough, so you don't eat. The so-called food is not tired of its essence, and the Confucian saints are so particular, what about the king's feast?

This style once again refreshed Du Xuan's cognition.

It is similar to all the banquets in the world, when the meat is in the stomach and the wine is in the throat, the atmosphere above the hall will be warm, and the monarchs and ministers, and the guests of honor will be more happy.

At this time, Clarion returned.

This time it was changed to a new tune. Most of the musical instruments played are mainly sheng, zhu, zheng, and zhu, which are the sounds of silk and bamboo. Different from the previous elegant and solemn sound of Jinshi, this kind of tune is called Xinsheng, and it is also called the sound of erosion by some saints, who believe that it can confuse the ears and hearts, and hurt the face of the court etiquette, and should not be in the hall of elegance.

However, in this great era of world strife and bad etiquette, it seems not difficult to understand that when you meet an enlightened king like King Lu of the enlightened country who likes to take the sword and go sideways, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded above the night banquet.

To tell the truth, to Du Xuan's ears, the sound of this silk bamboo is much more clever than the previous tall and elegant tune, the tune is tactful and tortuous, and the singer sings in harmony, fresh and natural, beautiful and beautiful. To put it simply, it is the old - hundred - surname likes songs.

When the wine and meat are in full swing, there is the sound of silk and bamboo, and this night banquet can't stop developing in the direction of high tide.

At the same time, a huge crisis is brewing inside and outside the palace.
