Chapter 194: Happy New Year
Luoyang, the capital of the gods.
Today is the Spring Festival, the Vientiane Shrine was burned down, and the restoration was not completed, and the Zhengdan feast was moved to the Shun Tomb of Wu Zetian's grandfather.
Empress Wu is the main sacrifice, the first sacrifice, but the second sacrifice is not the imperial heir Li Dan, but the Wei King Wu Chenghe, the final sacrifice is the Liang Wang Wu Sansi, the imperial heir Li Dan is not embarrassed or embarrassed in the third place.
The living man on the side of the pen groaned, after a while, sighed continuously, and finally put down the pen, according to the practice of historians, in the three years of the Heavenly Grant Zhengdan feast, the dignified imperial heir, but not even the qualifications to write a pen.
That night, the Empress Wu gave a banquet in the Guanfeng Hall of Shangyang Palace, and invited the emperor's relatives, court nobles, civil and military ministers, foreign envoys, and foreign ministers.
Midwinter solar terms, the cold wind whistling outside, the wind viewing hall burns the earth dragon, the warmth is melting, the special red candles are burned all around, the length is about zhang Xu, there is the thickness of the child's arm, standing through the sky, the palace is surrounded by exquisite rockeries and fake trees, there are strange flowers and plants on the mountain, there are fruits on the trees to like the seal, the flowers and plants are real, the fruit is real, the joy seal is also true, the seal is filled with gold and silver paper, the thickness and weight all depend on the luck, provoke the children and grandchildren of the noble and high-ranking officials, they have to go to pick it, the laughter is endless, the hall is lively and extraordinary, and the joy is jubilant.
Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an didn't feel lively, nor were they in the mood to rejoice, the hearts of their sisters were the best, but they hadn't seen the light of day.
No matter how great the sin is, no matter how big the festival is, there is no reason to detain people in the palace and not to see people.
"Li Li has seen the two mothers, congratulations and happy New Year" Wu'an County Gong Li Li came to the banquet to meet, he has received an errand, in the palace province to be a Fu Baolang, noble and relaxed, very much in line with his heart, in his opinion, entering the palace is far less important than teaching Quan Zhu and Wu Chongxing.
He took the lead here, and successively Lu Zhaoyin, Lu Jiong, father and son, Ge Hui, Tu Qiyou, Xiao Jing, Di Guangyuan, Dou Lu Congchang and other familiar juniors came to greet the New Year, this group of people is either their own green clouds, or their parents are powerful, they are all ambitious generations, a group of young faces are congratulating the New Year, Princess Yiyang's face showed some smiles, and Hou Sizhi's wife Li also came to say hello, Princess Yiyang learned that she was alone, so she left her by her side to talk.
"Second brother, I want a red envelope" Quan Luo is a clever ghost, just saw that his mother and aunt were in a bad mood, so he sat steadily, like a well-behaved New Year's painting baby, and now he saw that he was more relaxed, and immediately shouted.
Quan Zhu couldn't stand the girl's eyes, patted his chest and promised, "Wait for a long time, the second brother will bring you one"
Quan Zhu looked around, he didn't go to a crowded place, he found a tree with fewer people and a shorter, saw a red happy seal, reached over to take it, but took it empty, and was taken away first.
Quan Zhu looked up and saw a chin, the person who came was much taller than him, but it was Wu Yanxiu, the third eldest of Wu Chenghe's family, Quan Ce's old enemy, "The second boy of the Quan family, also want to be happy?" ”
The disdain in Wu Yanxiu's tone, Quan Zhu could hear it, but he still wanted to take one back for his little sister, nodded, blinked, and thought to himself, if it didn't work, he would find another place to get it.
"You kneel down, call father, and I'll give it to you" Wu Yanxiu made a shameless joke.
Quan Zhu immediately pursed his mouth, turned around and walked away, he was small, not tall, walked around, only to see a shorter Xifeng near the entrance of the main hall, Xu because it was too close, no one found it, he was happy on his face, immediately ran over, he learned a lesson, the speed in his hand was much faster, when he caught the Xifeng, he smiled happily.
However, he laughed early.
At the other end of the seal, caught in the hands of another person, it was still Wu Yanxiu, and he seemed to be particularly bored today.
"If you want it, do as I say"
"I don't" Quan Zhu clung to the corner of the happy seal and refused to let go.
Wu Yanxiu pulled twice, but couldn't succeed, so he simply used a lot of strength, Quan Zhu got rid of it, but he couldn't hold it, Xifeng flew out and fell into the wide passage in the center of the main hall.
Quan Zhu spread his legs, trotted, squatted down and was about to pick it up, but Xifeng was trampled on by a jet-black leather boot.
"San Lang, Your Majesty is driving, Hugh has to make a mistake" A clear reprimand came, and everyone in the hall knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty greets, Your Majesty has a good New Year"
"Get up, little doll, why do you want this happy seal?" When Empress Wu saw Wu Yanxiu kneeling on the ground to give a salute, the little doll was a step late, and she took the happy seal into her arms before kneeling down, and couldn't help but be embarrassed.
Quan Zhu knew that his deeds were noticed, and he blushed with shame, "I want it for a long time"
"Delayed?" Empress Wu looked confused, "I seem to have heard of this name?" ”
"Your Majesty, Chi Chi is the little lady in Princess Yiyang's mansion, the princess of Tianshui who was enshrined by His Majesty, and her milk name is taken by Quan Langjun" Shangguan Wan'er whispered beside her, looking at the blushing Quan Zhu, thinking that he was teased by others, and felt pity in her heart.
"Oh, then you are Quan Zhu" A bright smile bloomed on Empress Wu's face, like spring returning to the earth, the hall was a little brighter, and she took his hand and walked forward together, "Good boy, tell me, why don't you ask others to help you?" ”
"I am my brother" The loud children's voice echoed in the hall, and the Empress Wu laughed for it, led him, and passed the seat of Princess Yiyang's mansion without stopping, and actually asked him to accompany him.
Everyone in the hall has different expressions, will this power be the second power to gain divine favor? Tianshui Quan's wind **, it's time to send someone to take a look.
The Empress Wu sat down on the throne, waved her hand to signal the opening of the table, played the opening music, singing and dancing, this is the fixed program of the royal banquet, but the song is no longer played by the teaching department, but the green jade case, as well as the singer's voice, the words sung are the thousands of trees that bloom on the east wind night filled in by the right policy.
Many people's eyes looked at the seat of Princess Yiyang's mansion, but they saw that the heroine who was born in this poem was also there, and the envy in the eyes of the female dependents couldn't hide him, some envied Princess Yiyang for having a good son, and some envied that the Li family had a good husband.
After the opening, the ministers toasted to the Empress Wu, the atmosphere was a little relaxed, Wei Tuan'er beside the Empress Wu, by making a dish for Quan Zhu, glanced at his brother Wei Guanzhi below, in the end, there is someone in the court, Wei Guanzhi is now a spring official waiter, but it is not operated by Wei Tuan'er, Li Dan wants to use this way to push away Wei Tuan'er's entanglement, but unexpectedly it backfired, seeing that he can silently carry his brother, Wei Tuan'er is more enthusiastic about him.
"The minister has a dance, called Chaotianque, I am willing to dedicate it to Your Majesty, chat and smile" Wei Guanzhi left the table, walked quickly to the center of the hall, and asked to dance a song.
Empress Wu hehe, noncommittal, Shangguan Wan'er allowed it on her behalf, and asked if she needed to dance, this is worried about Wei Guanzhi's ugliness, someone covers it up, it's always better, Wei Guanzhi shook his head again and again and refused, he has been practicing for two months, sleepwalking is all dancing, where will he dance wrongly.
Wei Guanzhi got off to a good start, winning a full house, and the unrestrained envoys of the Western Regions had to go down in person, singing and dancing, and the hall was full of singing, singing and dancing, and the singing and dancing were leveled.
"Your Majesty, the minister is rude and unliterate, not good at words, I heard that there is a war in the western Xinjiang of the Great Zhou, I don't know what the situation is? Need support? The post-Turkic envoys deliberately felt uncomfortable, and the envoys of Khitan and Tubo all showed strange smiles.
"Oh?" Empress Wu was slightly stunned, "Hehehe, but it's not me, I haven't shared the good news with all Aiqing, Wan'er ......"
Shangguan Wan'er cleared her throat, "Wuwei Dao is a great victory, destroying more than 86,000 rebels of the Western Turkic Ashina Servants, exterminating more than 50,000 Tibetan rebels, the Turkic Lost Department and the Turkish Cavalry Department are attached, and the Great Zhou army and the Ashina Hu Sero Department are converging, and they are chasing the north and vowing to wipe out the people who dare to speak out in the Western Regions."
"Hehehe" Empress Wu's laughter sounded chilling at this moment, "Zhuqing, it won't be long before you can see the heads of Ashina and Bo Lunzan Blade."
"Tubo envoy, I intend to order the Dongguan Yamen to go to Xiyu Stone Valley to build a city, do you have any suggestions?"
"Your Majesty Wansheng, Da Zhou Wansheng" The Tibetan envoy did not dare to say much, and fell to his knees, trembling.
"Your Majesty is victorious, Great Zhou is victorious" The ministers of the DPRK and the central government shouted together with the envoys of various countries, and the envoys of the Western Regions were full of emotion, and many people cried with joy when they heard that the war in their hometown was peaceful.
"Send a message to Chidusong for me, if you tolerate the chaos of the ministers and Xiaoxiao, I will be shocked by the six divisions, and I am afraid that some cities will not recover, don't say that I am unpredictable" The martial queen rose with her sleeves up, her back straightened, her voice was fierce, and she did not hide her anger and killing intent.
"Your Majesty's holy candles, are all villains, Zan Puding will be ordered to do so, clean up the demonic atmosphere, and also take peace" The forehead of the Tibetan envoy touched the ground, panicked and landless, and the post-Turkic envoy who had just started to coax, his eyes rolled wildly, shrinking into a ball.
"Hehe" Empress Wu sat back on the couch, chuckled, the killing spirit disappeared without a trace, she pulled Quan Zhu and stroked his forehead, "Today's Spring Festival, don't talk about the disappointment, there must be some happy events."
"Quan Zhu is benevolent and intelligent, has filial piety, knows affection and righteousness, and loves him deeply, and he is named the Marquis of Luntai County with grace, and gives Princess Tianshui 10,000 taels of gold and silver"
A grace was sealed, and the envoys of the foreign domain did not know the severity, and heard that the pair of children who were sealed were from the Yiyang Princess Mansion, and they must be the favored royal blood, and they rushed forward to congratulate and congratulate them.
The thinking of the courtiers and nobles will not be so simple, the lord of Ruyang County, the princess of Tianshui, and now the Luntai Marquis of Quanzhu, is nominally entitled, but in fact they are all meritorious titles, and meritorious people are not in this splendid hall.
Thinking of the good news just announced, Quan Zhu's Luntai fiefdom, whether there is a power strategy in Shangqing Guan, these old fritters have a certain number in their hearts.
Princess Yiyang was teary-eyed, outsiders thought she was crying with joy, but Princess Gao'an knew that she was distressed.
They are very different from Princess Taiping after all, where is there any grace, every bit of reward is the birth and death of her most beloved eldest child, Erlang got the marquis, his eldest brother, this time, how much blood was shed?
Thinking about it, Princess Gao'an also burst into tears.
