Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Practice Feast

Lin Renzhao's fierce main battle rhetoric spread far and wide. Jiangning City gradually divided into two groups of people, one is now on Lin Renzhao's side, supporting his views and taking the opportunity to attack the Song State, and the other is against it, resolutely demanding that such a dangerous idea of provoking war be resisted and must be dealt with severely.

In the end, the news that Qingjiang County had a huge salt field and that the Zhennan Army was in charge of sitting in the town came out, and the transfer of Lin Renzhao also came out. For a while, it was difficult to say whether the lord of the country transferred him out because he was afraid of Lin Renzhao, or in order to appease Lin Renzhao, so he was transferred to the post of fat cha.

In any case, there are still people who can understand Lin Renzhao's true use, his ambition is unpaid, and the fat difference tastes like chewing wax for him.

Lin Renzhao received an order to prepare to leave for Nandu on November 28. In Jiangning City, the banquet for Lin Renzhao was arranged on the evening of the twenty-seventh day, and the organizer turned out to be Xu Yanhua of Huajian Building.

The people who received the invitation to the banquet were all ministers of the Tang State, and they were on Lin Renzhao's side, or they appreciated and sympathized with Lin Renzhao. Xu You, Xu Liao, Chen Qiao, Xu Xuan, Xu Kai, Pan You, Li Ping, Lu Jiang and so on are all guests.

The invitation to this banquet spread widely on the night of the twenty-fifth day, and the faces of Yin Chongyi, Feng Yanlu, Zhang Xun, Huangfu Jixun, Zhu Lingyun, Zhu Miao, Chen Zhiyong, and so on were white or black, and they were ugly.

Since Xu Yanhua amazed the whole city at the poetry meeting in the middle of the month, there has been an endless stream of people in Jiangning City who want to visit and invite Xu Yanhua, but they have all been refused, no matter how high the other party's official position is. The water kept rising, and some people were even speculating about when Xu Yanhua's next appearance would be, but they didn't expect it to be for Lin Renzhao.

Originally, the political disagreement was only private, and it was not said that it was seen through, but the banquet list was circulated in private, and this discord was debunked in another way and exposed to the cold air. As if to say: you are all weak chickens, and you can't get on the stage.

Everyone was waiting for this feast on the night of the twenty-seventh day. The banquet is chosen to be on the painting boat of the Flower Building, and it starts at the end of the day. From the Flower Building and the other side of the river, you can faintly hear the movement of the painting boat, and those who were not invited have booked places in these two places.

At the end of the twenty-seventh day, the guests on the painting boat of the Flower Building arrived, staggered, and told each other about their parting feelings, waiting for Xu Yanhua to attend, and once again experienced a stunning and wonderful feeling like a fairyland on earth. Everyone speculated whether Xu Yanhua would fall from the sky this time, or whether it was another way to appear, what clothes she was wearing, what it would be like to watch it up close, and so on.

Suddenly, a waiter sang from the mouth of the third floor of the painting boat: "His Royal Highness King Zheng has arrived." ”

The crowd in the painting boat looked at each other, unexpectedly King Zheng would come uninvited. Everyone knows who King Zheng is, especially Xu You. King Zheng's name is Li Congshan, the seventh son of Yuanzong and the younger brother of Li Yu. When Yuanzong passed away, he moved to seize the throne and asked Xu You for a testament, but Xu You refused sharply and told Li Yu after returning to Beijing, but Li Yu was very affectionate, and after ascending the throne, he showed kindness to Li Congshan, changed his title from King Deng to King Zheng, and never took political revenge on him.

However, Li Congshan is still like a mouse encountering a cat to Xu You, and he generally does not go into direct contact, after all, he has a black history in the hands of others, and Xu You is still his elder, and the title of King Zheng can't suppress the other party, the prince of Wen'an. I didn't expect Li Congshan to come today.

"All of you are here, the two Duke Xu, Chen Shumi is here, I can't imagine that General Lin has been on the border for a long time, and he is still so popular in the capital, if the Lone King is not here to see it in person, he can't believe it."

Everyone was a little vigilant when they heard it, the most taboo in the officialdom was collusion between inside and outside, and the civil and military forces formed a party, and Li Congshan led the direction to this possibility as soon as he opened his mouth to say hello, which shows that the comer is not good.

Lin Renzhao laughed, bowed his hand, and said, "Your Highness is here to give you a gift, I am very grateful." I didn't believe that I was so popular, and even His Royal Highness King Zheng came, which shows that I have always been good friends with His Royal Highness, regardless of the border of the capital. ”

Lin Renzhao inadvertently resolved the embarrassment caused by Li Congshan with a sentence and brought back the atmosphere in the painting boat. When Li Congshan heard this, he had no choice but to show a smile, motioned for everyone to sit down, and started chatting casually.

Chen Qiao poured wine and sighed: "If Lin Renzhao is allowed to lead troops outside, and I, Chen Qiao, are in charge of the government in the central government, then although my country is small, it will be difficult for the Song State to plot." The straightforward words made some people feel the same way, and also made a small number of people secretly uncomfortable.

After half a pillar of incense kung fu, I still didn't see Xu Yanhua coming, there are so many princes and nobles here in front of me, ordinary people don't dare to make too many mistakes even if they play big names, Xu Yanhua's actions are a little excessive.

Just when everyone was about to get angry, Mother Liu came, her face was full of apology and embarrassment, as if she had a needle under her feet, and slowly moved in.

"Your Highness, the concubine doesn't know how to speak, please forgive your Highness for the sake of past friendship."

As soon as these words came out, the painting boat was quiet, and when he listened attentively, it was obvious that the news brought by Liu's mother was not good for Li Congshan.

Li Congshan smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay, you can tell me about it." ”

"Yanhua was just changing clothes and dressing up, and she was going to come, but when she heard His Royal Highness coming, she felt that she was not well prepared and the etiquette was not in line with her, so she didn't dare to come forward." Mother Liu raised her head slightly and glanced at Li Congshan, whose face was blue, and said, "Hope, I hope that next time I will make sufficient preparations in advance and make a special trip to dance for His Highness." ”

- Li Congshan, you are an uninvited guest, I am not happy, so you will not attend with me. Either you go or I hide.

They are all old loaches who don't speak human words, and Mother Liu's words are basically received at the correct frequency. Li Congshan was a little embarrassed, the other party didn't give him any face, he was still a prince, but he only gave Lin Renzhao and a group of courtiers.

Li Congshan gritted his teeth, looked at these people, and counted all the people he lost in the party to the people in front of him, especially Lin Huzi. After that, he squeezed out a little smile and said: "Since this is the case, the lonely king will wait for Yanhua to prepare a song for the lonely king." ”

Li Congshan walked out of the painting boat hatefully, his footsteps pounding, knocking heavily on the hearts of some people. Xu You and some other old foxes already faintly felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't detect the specific problem.

As soon as Li Congshan left, Xu Yanhua came, as if he deliberately couldn't get along with Li Congshan. She is still wearing a scarf on her face, an ordinary wooden hairpin on her head gently pulls her hair, and a piece of silk is tied at will on her waist. At a closer look, the looming white skin can be broken by blowing.

Some people can't stop feeling the surging in the nasal cavity, of course, more people have this feeling below, as if practicing internal strength, three inches below the umbilicus, and the dantian breath is turbulent.

As soon as Xu Yanhua spoke, these people were even more like they were in the heavenly realm, and the voice was so good that it made people want to get closer, and it was best to call by the pillow......

"A song of the first emperor "Breaking the Huanxi Sand", practiced by General Lin."

Xu Yanhua did not dance, but sat behind the piano casually, played, and sang: "The incense of the lotus disappears the green leaves, and the west wind worries about the green waves." is also haggard with Shaoguang, unbearable! The drizzle dreams back to the chicken, and the small building blows through the Yusheng cold. How many tears of infinite hatred, leaning on the dry. ”

Xu Yanhua's voice interprets Yuanzong's lyrics delicately and sensually, long and long, such as crying and complaining, such as resentment, and I don't know if the hero is Lin Huzi and whether the heroine is Xu Yanhua.

Just when everyone was immersed in the gentle township woven by Xu Yanhua, and couldn't extricate themselves, a burst of elegant and bright, mellow and timeless, melodious and subtle, and tearful music suddenly sounded outside the window, which was made by an instrument that had never been heard before, so it was very unique, everyone was awakened from the gentle township, and even Xu Yanhua's eyes changed from lazy to bright and suspicious.
