Xingqing Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Night is approaching, the bright moon hangs high above the dome of Xingqing Palace, and this palace in the south that has been silent for a hundred years finally ushered in its own hustle and bustle again.

Recalling the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the past, the Long Live Festival of August Qianqiu, Xuanzong was on this calyx Xianghui building to feast the ministers and accept the congratulations of all countries, and this three-story building with a height of 120 feet is known as "the first floor in the world".

In the heyday, this calyx Xianghui building represents the capital Chang'an, and Chang'an represents the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty represents the whole world!

The vermilion lantern between the eaves and arches is like a star, dazzling; Outside the cloister pavilion, the flow of people is like a river, and the river flows endlessly. Although the palace maids were in a hurry, they all smiled, this is the festival of the courtiers and the festival of the people of the world.

"It's been a long time since it's been this lively!" Li Chen stood at the window of the calyx building and looked out, full of flowers.

"Yes, seeing this scene can't help but remind the old slave of the prosperity of Kaiyuan!" Two lines of turbid tears overflowed from the corners of Wang Guichang's eyes.

"Kaiyuan Shengshi...... Li Chen muttered, a different look faintly flashed in his eyes, "This world has been sinking for too long, this is not the Tang Dynasty I want, let alone the Tang Dynasty in my mind, it's time to change my appearance!" ”

"The reason why I chose here is for Li Zhen's convenience, but the more important reason is that I want to put an attitude, an attitude to revitalize the Tang Dynasty, this calyx building was once the representative of the most glorious period of my Tang Dynasty, I want to start from here and rebuild the prosperous world!" Li Chen said word by word, sonorous and powerful, but his eyes were slightly moist.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have arrived!"

At this time, an attendant approached to report.

"Well, Li Zhenke is here?" Li Chen asked.

"The slave hasn't seen it yet!"

"Xingqing Palace is not far from Li's house, it stands to reason that it should have arrived a long time ago!" Wang Guichang was surprised.

"This kid is good at everything, but he has no rules, don't wait for him, let's go!" Li Chen turned around and left, and when Wang Guichang saw this, he whispered to the chamberlain: "You hurry up and go to Li's house to have a look, and be sure to bring Li Zhen!" ”

......

In the calyx building, all the officials above the eight grades of the dynasty have arrived, plus the princess of the sixteen houses and the officials from all over the country who stayed in Beijing, there are hundreds of people in total, even so the calyx building is still not cramped, so its grand trend can be seen.

The courtiers of the civil and military classes sat down in order of rank, and the low table in front of each person was already full of delicacies and wines, and Princess Wangsun was at the head of the ministers, and on the side of Bai Minzhong were several envoys with braided hair and wearing vertical collar and arrow sleeves.

Li Chen looked around at the ministers, but he didn't see Li Zhen coming, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and was about to raise his glass, but saw Li Zhen arrive in a hurry, "Grass people Li Zhen greets Your Majesty!" ”

Li Chen's heart was calm when he saw this, but he still said with a gloomy face: "This time, I don't know how to be polite when I think you are young, so I will spare you for the time being, don't take an example, take a seat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Zhen said and grinned, just as he saw Princess Yanqing looking at him, he immediately bowed his head and saluted from afar, but saw Princess Yanqing also showing a meaningful smile.

Li Zhen looked away at the main hall, although most of the courtiers did not know each other, but there were also some familiar faces, the civil officials had Jing Zhaoyin and the criminal department attendant Lu Shang, the superintendent of the imperial history Li Jingzhuang, and the criminal department member Pei Tian, and the military generals on the side of only Gao Biao Li Zhen still knew him.

Among these people, only Lu Shang and Li Jingzhuang nodded and smiled at themselves, and the others always turned a blind eye.

But there are still some people who set their sights on this young man who has already shocked the imperial court, at first glance, it is just a handsome young man, relying on his father Li Chengye to save his Majesty's life and get all kinds of favor from the Son of Heaven, that's all, most of the ministers are this kind of mind, so no one will pay too much attention to Li Zhen.

Of course, except for Lu Shang, who already knew Li Zhen's true identity after receiving Li Chen's instructions.

The chamberlain then led Li Zhen to the last empty seat in the Wenchen column, and it was Li Jingzhuang who was sitting next to this empty seat.

Speaking of which, the two of them are barely old friends, plus the relationship between Li Jingzhuang and Li Deyu, so Li Jingzhuang, who has always been stubborn, also nodded slightly to Li Zhen.

The banquet officially began, dozens of gorgeously dressed Western Regions dancers walked in lightly, and then the sound of the orchestra suddenly rose, accompanied by the music and dance of the Western Regions, the ministers inevitably pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and Li Zhen seemed a little lonely between the staggered fundraising.

During the banquet, Li Chen raised his glass several times, and the ministers also got up one after another, and their mouths were full of beautiful words, which made Li Jingzhuang's face look disgusted.

"Hehe, it seems that Imperial Envoy Li doesn't like such occasions either!" Li Zhen chuckled in a low voice.

Li Jingzhuang sighed lightly after hearing this, and said, "What if you don't like it?" The world is like this! ”

"The younger generation has always admired loyal and upright ministers like you, I have heard my father say before, the Li family and three ministers, all of them are loyal people, loyal and upright ministers, and I hope you will teach the younger generations more in the future!"

Li Jingzhuang showed a wry smile and said, "Nowadays, the more loyal and upright ministers are, the more they are left out in the cold!" ”

Li Zhen knew that he was referring to the fact that the Li Party was all demoted, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, no one knew the hardships of his emperor's father, the Li Party was already powerful and powerful after the Wuzong Dynasty, and the monarch was most afraid of the dominance of one party, and the current party struggle was inevitable, so he could only suppress Li Deyu's party in order to balance the situation.

Thinking of this, the music and dance had already ended, and Li Chen immediately smiled and said: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is full, and the wine and food are almost eaten, it's time to start the show!" ”

The ministers naturally understood what Li Chen's "main play" meant, and immediately expressed their approval, and the Son of Heaven spoke, but in fact, they could only agree.

"Last year, I remembered that Yanqing won this leader, since this is the case, then this year's law will naturally start by you!" Li Chen turned to Princess Yanqing and smiled.

I saw that Princess Yanqing immediately got up and said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty has opened Chrysostom, then Yanqing dares to disobey her fate!" ”

Speaking of this, I saw Yanqing looking around at the ministers, and then said with a smile: "This year's law is still based on the month, but it is no longer a sentence-by-sentence order, you all show your talents, the one with the best quality of poetry wins, and the winner designates the next one, if you can't do it, you will lose!" Yanqing will be ugly first! ”

After saying that, Princess Yanqing blurted out almost without any thought: "Tired of leaning on the south window, the moonlight is dark, and sandalwood is like water." This time, I don't see the shadow of Auntie, and I shine alone in the dream. ”

"Well, this poem is quite good, it is really a masterpiece, it seems that this next one will definitely take some brains! I wonder who you appointed? Li Chen said with a smile.

Yanqing smiled slightly, and looked at Li Zhen, who was hiding behind Li Jingzhuang.
