Chapter 456: Outside and Inside (3)
Taichu Palace, Jiuzhou Pond, Yaoguang Palace. โ Pineapple & Smallโ said
Empress Wu held a banquet to entertain the foreign vassals who came to congratulate him, and did not invite courtiers to attend, only members of the royal family were accompanied.
On the Li side, only Gaozong's children appeared, according to the order of the year, Princess Yiyang was the first, followed by Princess Gao'an, Li Sujie, Li Dan, Princess Taiping, if Li Xian, the king of Luling, was there, he should be ranked after Li Sujie, before Li Dan, he was not there, Li Chongrun and Li Bao'er brothers and sisters accompanied the last seat.
On the side of the Wu family, it is a little messy, the first is Wu Sansi, the second is Wu Youji, followed by Wu Yanji, he represents the Wei King Wu Chenghei, and there are Wu Youyi and Wu Youxu behind him.
There are not many people who come, so they are all from the family, and from time to time there are a few children frolicking and babies crying, which seems to be quite lively.
The banquet ceremony is in charge of Shangguan Wan'er, the women are meticulous, long-sleeved and good at dancing, every time they stand in front of the stage, they are all smiling, every word and deed, all of them are considerate, whether it is a foreign vassal or a royal family, they are like sitting on the spring breeze, only when they retreat to the side of the throne, when the queen of martial arts dominates the banquet, no one pays attention to her, she will bow her head and be speechless.
"Your Majesty, the minister lives far away in a remote place, has long heard the military power of the Central Plains, invincible, once in the desert, occasionally heard the Han family soldiers and horses playing music, the sound of soldiers and killing, admirable, now see His Majesty's palace, majestic and majestic, dragon and phoenix grandson, such as people in the fairy world, the minister's blood is boiling, I wish to get this song, with a vice heart "high nose and deep eyes, extremely tall, a chestnut curly hair, I want to be an envoy of a small country in the Western Regions, words and demeanor are extremely pious, all the way to kowtow, all the way forward, to the Danqi, but blocked by Yang Siqiao, these miscellaneous bearded people, It's messy and unruly, he knows that there is a etiquette called the ritual of kissing the feet, hugging the feet and kissing them, Your Majesty's jade feet, how can he be allowed to blaspheme?
The envoy of the Western Regions was full of heart, and he fell to the ground and cried.
"Qing and get up, what you heard, I think it should be the general's order, this song is sharp, there is a loss of peace and elegance, it should not be used to entertain envoys, but Qing is sincere, loyal and full of righteousness, how can I be indifferent, just make an exception" Empress Wu flicked the sleeves of his robe and agreed to his request.
The two sides of the row of the teaching workshop musicians, listening to the order to play musical instruments, the rich hall, the sword qi is vertical and horizontal.
After the song was played, there were still many envoys immersed in it, as if they were fascinated, and the envoys of the Western Regions, holding the wine jar, quickly drunk themselves, and shouted in their mouths, "Long live the Celestial Empire", "Long live Your Majesty"......
The envoys of the Western Regions who were in the same area with him were the most good at singing and dancing, and they were also the most dissolute, so they even got up together and gathered around the envoy for a week, accompanied by his shouts, kicking and dancing and dancing, which attracted everyone's attention, and the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, Silla and other countries who were most deeply influenced by the etiquette and religion of the Celestial Empire, frowned.
Empress Wu smiled, but just waved his hand, not disagreeing.
"Giggles" Li Bao'er slapped her face and laughed, and the flowers bloomed for a while, and the hall seemed to be a little brighter.
Quan Luo was also smiling, just covering his mouth, his eyes were rolling around, and his smart eyes were extremely wise.
"Woo wow wow" Xu didn't appreciate the dancing of the people in the Western Regions, Wang Xiao in Li Ji's arms cried loudly, struggling in his mother's arms.
Princess Gao'an and Li Ji comforted for a long time, but there was no effect, and on the throne, the Empress Wu's eyes drooped, and she was a little hesitant.
Quan Ce got up and left the table, squeezed between Princess Gao'an and Li Ji, hugged Wang Xiao in his arms, and shook his arms like rocking a boat a few times, Wang Xiao was honest, smacked his mouth a few times, grabbed a corner of Quan Ce's shirt with his little hand, and his eyelids slowly drooped, and he actually had the intention of falling asleep.
Princess Gao'an breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Quan Ce's shoulder, and chuckled, "This little thing, but it will pick people tightly, and in the future, it will definitely be as capable as Da Lang."
Li Ji listened to it very much, looked at the right policy, and then looked at the child, his eyes were gentle.
Quan Ce's move, many people's eyes immediately chased over, and they were quite uncomfortable when they saw him going to caress a child.
In the eyes of the vassal envoys, Quan Ce should be a Shura figure who holds thousands of troops and horses and crisscrosses the battlefield, and in the eyes of the royal family, he should be the first person who is calm and scheming, and he should not be the kind and unscrupulous appearance in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the minister has heard that this song is composed by the Xin'an County Governor's Office, and the Xin'an County Governor has sung a song in Yunzhou, setting the side plug turmoil, on this good day, you might as well reproduce yesterday, and it is also convenient for all colleagues in the Western Regions to show their dancing posture" On Qinling's proposal, I don't know if I can't stand the group of envoys in the Western Regions surrounding a drunkard, dancing with drunken words and drunken words, or deliberately seeking trouble for power.
Quan Ce didn't have time to speak, the old chief of Murowei and the Hou Hebule of Guiyi had already answered, "Hehe, the prime minister wants to reproduce yesterday, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, at that time, there were 100,000 Chen soldiers in Yunzhou, and the grandfather thought of the common people, so he opened Chrysostom, I don't know where the Tubo Chen soldiers are?" Xiyu Stone Valley, or Anjung City? โ
On Qinling choked, his thick eyebrows were wrinkled, his black and red face couldn't tell if it was red, and the two places that Hebuler said were all the fiascos of Tubo, he snorted coldly and ignored it.
The atmosphere in the hall was slightly discordant, and at this time, Mo Si Khan came out, "Your Majesty, thanks to the love of the Heavenly Empire, the little girl Yunxi got married, and received a lot of grace from Your Majesty.
"Hehe, the khan has a heart, I took it" Empress Wu glanced at Quan Ce and smiled meaningfully.
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Mo Si Khan was a little breathless, thanked him, and then returned to his seat, poured himself a drink, ignoring the strange eyes of the major feudal clans around him, all for his daughter, a little cheeky, not for the time being.
On Qinling squinted his eyes, his luck calmed down, and he jumped out with a smile, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Xin'an County and Princess Yunxi tied the knot, and they felt the same joy, the Heavenly Empire is the parents, the vassals are the children, the rewards and punishments are moderate, and the similarities and differences are not appropriate, the ministers have children, they are over eighteen, and they have reached adulthood, dare to ask Your Majesty for their grace, and refer to the daughter of the clan as a marriage."
"Oh?" Empress Wu smiled slightly, "The Great Ministers think that the prosperity of the Great Zhou is compared to Tubo?" โ
"Tubo is not as good as it" on Qinling has to admit.
"Being a parent, the heart of the fist" Empress Wu sighed, very gentle, "If you have a daughter, you don't want to stay on the plateau and suffer, you might as well marry to the Great Zhou, Zhong Ming Ding food, you can enjoy a lifetime of wealth, and you can also benefit your children and grandchildren"
On Qinling was choked again, coughed violently, and took advantage of the situation to say, "Your Majesty, the minister is unwell, in order to avoid harming the nobles, I dare to ask Your Majesty to forgive me for the crime of leaving the table."
"Hehe, it's okay" Empress Wu agreed with a smile, discussing Qinling's reaction, so that she could roughly guess that the Great Wizard of the Bon Sect who was put back by Quan Ce was afraid that it would become the climate again, and Qinling would want to make peace with Da Zhou, and after being rejected, he had no confidence to exert pressure, "This matter is not urgent, it can be discussed in the long run"
On Qinling withdrew from the main hall slightly embarrassed.
Just mentioned the heart of the children, Empress Wu's mind moved slightly, and she glanced at the royal family on both sides, but suddenly found that the blood on both sides was not thick, and most of the dead and wounded were from her hands, and she killed countless people with the surname Li, including her own sons Li Hong and Li Xian, but there were also many surnamed Wu, Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Yuanqing, Wu Weiliang, and her brothers and cousins of the same generation almost all died in her hands.
A gust of wind blew, and Empress Wu's body suddenly felt a little cold.
Thinking about it carefully, there is only one person who is closest to her position, and who is in harmony with Li Wu's two families at the same time, and who is also an enemy.
"Quan Ce, quickly step forward and sit"
I want to talk about "The Dawn of the Tang Dynasty" with more like-minded people, " ", talk about life, and find a confidant~
