Chapter 865: It's Better to Be Cautious

The moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival is twice as usual, so it is also called the moon and the evening, the golden wind is cool, the jade dew is cold, and Zhao Yu, who has reached the top of power, feels deeply desolate. In the past, he said that the heavenly family had no relatives, and he still felt that it was exaggerated, but now he realizes that he is even more serious. Not only are his every move noticed, but even family affairs are frequently snooped on, and there is no privacy at all.

Zhao Hao thought that by accepting the Queen Mother's arrangement for marriage, he would be able to stay out of the matter and avoid this turmoil. But the queen mother may feel that she has been willful since she was a child, and she forced a queen to him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to accept, and she will lose her temper in the future and make the harem uneasy. In this way, the Queen Mother gave herself the right to choose, but her kindness turned into a hot potato, which made him have to be cautious.

As the king of a country, Zhao Yu certainly knows that his words and deeds and every move are regarded as a bellwether of political trends, and the same is true for choosing the latter. This is not only related to the rise and fall of a family, but also to be considered the political inclination of the emperor, after all, the choice of the queen is often used as a means of favoring and appeasing a certain power, so his marriage can also be regarded as a political act.

The show girls selected through the re-election this time are all from famous families, and their ancestors have all served as rulers and are in charge of the center, but there are very few contemporary children, even if they are officials, they are also lower-level officials, but it sends a signal that this dynasty will still maintain the tradition of scholars and doctors governing the country. In the past, because Chen Yizhong rebelled and assassinated the emperor and was given death, and many scholars were involved, and after the fall, many scholars betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, and the courtiers were inevitably worried that they would lose their sacred heart and be suppressed. And choosing the daughter of a scholar's family is just right to appease the scholar.

"Official, the banquet is about to begin, let's get up and take a seat!" Just as Zhao Yu was thinking about how to choose the queen, Wang De came over and wanted to ask.

"Well, are you all set?" Zhao Yu retracted his gaze and nodded.

"It's all arranged according to the will of the official!" Wang De replied with a grin.

"There are people in the inner palace who are eating inside and outside, you have to clean it up." Zhao Yu chuckled when he heard this.

"The official family can rest assured, and the little one understands. It's only been a few months since I left the palace, and they have become kings of monkeys, and they dare to disobey the family rules! Wang De snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Let me see someone colluding with the foreign minister again to reap the benefits of it, so I will break your leg first!" Zhao Yu pointed at Wang De and said hatefully.

"Yes! If the small one can't manage the introspection well, he will cut off his two legs. Wang De immediately agreed.

"Okay, let's go over!" Zhao Yu saw that Wang De was ruthless, so he nodded with satisfaction.

By the time Zhao Yu turned back, the sacrificial table had been removed and rearranged. The first one faces south and back to north, and a low table is placed on the left and right hands, and two columns of low tables are also arranged on the east and west sides, which are surrounded by a month and a half, and it also looks more compact. He sat on the main throne with the undeserved face moon, and the two positions next to him became the focus, knowing that this was the closest position to the little emperor, and it also showed his status.

"Miss Li, sit here!" Zhao Yu sat down and looked at the women standing on both sides, beckoned to Li Sanniang who was standing at the end of the line, and pointed to the position on his left.

"This ......" Li Sanniang looked left and right with some surprise, there were envy, surprise and disbelief in the eyes of the women, and more people could not hide their jealousy, but she was a little hesitant and did not dare to move.

"Miss Li, please take a seat!" At this time, Wang De walked over and saluted. And this time surprised all the women on the field, you must know that although these servants have a low status, they are in control of their fate at this time, and as a provincial servant, they are not only personally invited, but also very respectful, which shows that their status in the palace is determined.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Li Sanniang gritted her teeth and saluted.

"Shu'er, come and sit here!" Zhao Hao smiled again and beckoned to Chen Shu. Everyone was even more surprised, if it was said that Li Sanniang wanted to serve the left and right, there was still a marriage contract with His Majesty, but letting Chen Shu sit in the auxiliary seat made everyone even more puzzled.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Shu did not hesitate like Li Sanniang, and immediately stepped forward like a little rabbit.

"Sister Wu, do you know the origin of this Chen Shu?" Seeing that the emperor also looked at Chen Shu differently, Cheng Su asked.

"Miss Chen's father is Chen Renweng, the squire of the military department and the commander of the inland water army, and her uncle is the new head of the household department, Chen Renweng, who is an important minister of the dynasty." Wu Xi explained in a low voice.

"I see, no wonder Your Majesty will look the other way!" Cheng Su was quite unconvinced.

"No, I think Miss Chen and His Majesty seem to be familiar with each other, and I seem to be a little jealous of her!" Wu Xi shook his head lightly and said.

"Your Majesty will be afraid of him? I'm afraid that I am afraid of his father and uncle! Cheng Su snorted coldly.

"Maybe!" Wu Xi smiled and didn't say anything more.

"The rest, sit down!" Zhao Hao waved his hand and said aloud to everyone.

The women sat down according to this, naturally the five people who passed the re-election sat in front, Wu Xi and Lei Yan sat in the first and second seats on the left, Cheng Su and Wang Yu sat in the first and second seats on the right, but Zhang Ping was a little overwhelmed, Wu Xi beckoned her to sit behind her. The others sat down separately according to the eldest and youngest, and Wang De saw this and asked the attendants to bring wine and pastries first.

"Miss Li, this is osmanthus cake, you can't eat it in Qiongzhou, try it, it tastes!" Zhao Yu saw that Li Sanniang was very restrained, and he didn't dare to move when he knelt there, let alone take food, he pointed to the pastries on the plate and smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Sanniang twisted her face and gave a slight salute when she heard this, and then picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite.

"Isn't it sweet?" Zhao Hao looked at it and asked.

"Well, it's really delicious, it's very fragrant in the mouth, but it's not too sweet." Li Sanniang nodded after tasting the product.

"Miss Li doesn't have to be too restrained, I want you to govern one side in Qiongzhou, which of the hundreds of thousands of slang households dares not to be convinced; In the army, he commanded thousands of elite soldiers to kill decisively, and he was invincible in attacking cities and plundering land, would he still be frightened by this kind of scene, although he was casual, he didn't have to be so careful, so that I didn't know it! Zhao Yu looked at him with a slight smile and said again.

"Oh, it turns out that all the slang in Qiongzhou are my sister's subordinates? I knew that I could go into the mountains to play, but unfortunately I didn't know my sister well at that time! Chen Shu interjected and said regretfully.

"It's not too late to go back in the future, as long as there is the token of my Daning Village, Qiongzhou Thirty-six Tong is in and out of Wuji, let you play!" Li Sanniang said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Chen Shu applauded again and again, and had no scruples about coming to everyone on the field, "Your Majesty, when will we go back to Qiongzhou?" ”

"This ...... Isn't Jiangnan better than Qiongzhou? Zhao Yu didn't know how to answer, so he could only ask instead.

"It's not good, how good Qiongzhou is! Everyone can talk and laugh together, where there are more than one in the heart now. Chen Shu said indignantly.

"Haha, at that time, where was talking and laughing, I was always chased and beaten by you, and everywhere I went, there were chickens and dogs!" Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard it.

"Who made you so fat when you were a child, you can't run fast!" Chen Shu rolled her eyes and said.

"Hehe, the little one still remembers that on the royal boat, Miss Chen led a group of children from the Lu Xiang family, the grandson of the Xu Shangshu family and the little son of Zhang Shushuai, and chased His Majesty to hide everywhere, but was taught a good lesson by Chen Shilang, locked in the cabin and not allowed to go out, and the children of other families were also beaten by the board!" Wang De also joked at this time.

"Alas, the past is unbearable!" Chen Shu sighed and complained when she heard this, "I think that at that time, almost the entire Xing Dynasty was on the imperial boat, and all families lived together and met from time to time, but now when I go to Jiangnan, I can't even meet each other, and it's impossible to talk." ”

"So, Miss Chen has also seen the Battle of Yashan?" Li Sanniang asked.

"Of course, at that time, Zhang Thief Hongfan entered the Kou, and there were battles almost every day, and the sound of killing shook the sky every day, and the sound of artillery continued." Chen Shu said proudly, "By the way, I also saw Zhang Hongfan when he was defeated that day, and His Majesty commanded the imperial boat to sink the enemy ship one after another, crashed into the ship formation, pursued Zhang Hongfan's ship, and intercepted it, Your Majesty was so ashamed that he committed suicide on the bow of the ship in a few words." That's when I realized that this little fat man still has such a great ability! ”

"Nonsense, you must have been hiding in the cabin at that time, how could you see me scolding Zhang Hongfan?" Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"Of course I saw it, and if I didn't believe it, I asked Lu Jiaxiaoqi, and he was so frightened that his legs trembled. I also saw the big man Ni jump over the boat and cut off Zhang Hongfan's head, and the knife he is using now is his, right? Chen Shu retorted unconvinced.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be quite bold!" Zhao Yu nodded, which was an acknowledgement.

"Since then, has Miss Chen been afraid of Your Majesty?" Li Sanniang was aroused by the two of them and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, when was she afraid of me, she still did it, and it has only gotten better in the past few years!" Zhao Hao said with a wry smile......

"It turns out that Chen Shu has such a relationship with His Majesty, no wonder His Majesty cares for him." The three of them were talking and laughing in front of them, and they didn't shy away from everyone, Wu Xi listened and said softly.

"I didn't expect Miss Chen and His Majesty to be childhood sweethearts, and they lived and died together, it's really surprising!" Lei Yan answered.

"No wonder Miss Chen is not afraid of those teachings in the palace, it turns out that she has often been in and out of the palace since she was a child, and she is familiar with all the knowledge!" Zhang Ping was timid and authentic.

"Yes, she even dares to call her nickname if she is handsome in front of the palace, if she doesn't have a deep friendship, how dare she do this!" Lei Yan sighed lightly. She turned her face to see that Wu Xi was also gloomy, obviously no one expected that there would be a sudden change, and such a strong competitor was killed from it, it seems that there are still great variables in the selection of concubines in the future.

"Your Majesty, the slave Cheng Su wants to offer a dance to help today's luck!" At this moment, Cheng Su suddenly stood up and said, attracting everyone's attention.

"Accurate!" Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Cheng Su, nodded and said. He deliberately did it today just to see how everyone behaved, so he chatted with Chen Shu and the others as if no one was around, talking about the relationship between the three of them, and now it seems that Cheng Su couldn't hold his breath first.

"Your Majesty, quasi!" Wang De immediately preached loudly. With permission, Cheng Su whispered a few words to the band next to him, and called a few maiko to come to the middle of the audience together, raising his hand to signal the band to start.

"In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun, who danced with a sword and moved in all directions. The spectators are depressed like mountains, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time. Shining like a dragon shooting nine sunsets, like a group of emperors and dragons. Come like thunder to stop the anger, like the river and the sea condensing the clear light......" As the music came to mind, Cheng Suying's mouth opened slightly, her posture twisted, she sang and danced while holding a sharp sword, and several kabuki also accompanied her.

"It also has some skills...... Zhao Hao looked at the field, and what he danced was "Gongsun Auntie Dancing Sword", and said softly after watching it for a while.

In this era, Zhao Yu had to adapt to the singing and dancing performances during the banquet, although he didn't like it, but he was gradually able to see some ways after a long illness. The court of the Song Dynasty rarely danced solo, but the main team dance, the main brain of the dance group, called the bamboo pole, because he held a colorful bamboo pole, similar to the conductor, the lead dancer five people, called the flower heart, the specific dance, you can refer to the American festival parade drum float parade. As for the Liaoxia Jin dance around the Song Dynasty, it is at best just a hip-hop street dance danced by African-Americans in those slum neighborhoods to keep warm.

The economic development and social harmony of the Song Dynasty were all over the market. If the music and dance of the Han and Tang dynasties are compared to the old European classical music, folk music and dance are just like musicals in the New World. The most popular sword dance is "Hongmen Banquet" adapted from the story of Chu and Han, and the other is "Gongsun Da Niang Sword Dance" adapted from Tang poetry.

This poem shows the poet's recollection of the earth-shattering scene when he watched the outstanding dancer Gongsun Auntie dance the sword dance. She wielded her sword, and suddenly the silver light shone and the shadow of the sword shimmered; She leaped up with arrows, and the tip of her sword slashed into the sky, just like Hou Yi shot down nine suns; She flew and churned, just like the emperor and the fairy soaring in the clouds on the dragon Pegasus; When it is fast, it is thunderous, and when it is closed, the sky and the earth are silent. After the dance, the sword blade is like a calm river, lake and sea, condensing a clear light.

However, in Zhao Su's opinion of Cheng Su's sword dance, although he has dancing skills, and his skillful movements are also quite hard, there is still a difference between dance and martial arts. Her dancing posture tends to be feminine, showing her figure perfectly, but it lacks the sword dance shown in the poem, which alarms all directions, and the heaven and earth also change color with the ups and downs of the sword dance. It can't reach the level of fluttering and flying; The thunder retracts its anger, and the momentum receives; It seems that the river and sea are calm and calm, and the artistic conception of the river and sea is condensed.

Therefore, no matter how good-looking the dance dance that has lost its essence in the eyes of Zhao Yu, it is also tangible and godless, and it falls first, even if it can make up for it with skills, it will eventually make people feel like chewing wax. And here and now, I can't help but let him think more about the dance and the people, all say that the country is easy to change its nature and difficult to change, if it is a vase in the palace, it is okay, but a person who is unwilling to only make a vase is dangerous......
