Chapter 319: The Literati's Banquet

When Chinese New Year's Eve came, Luofu put up lights, prepared for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, seven in and seven out of the big courtyard, inside and outside, there are many family members, slaves, maids, but most of these people are sent from Youzhou after successive training, and there are few local leases, so that the upper and lower levels of the mansion are strictly disciplined, the news is blocked, and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene if they want to inquire about the affairs of Luofu.

Luo Zhaoyun accompanied Ning Muhe and Xiao Yiyi to eat dumplings at home, keeping watch for the New Year, the cold weather, the snow was bright, and the red lights were swaying.

The three of them waited for midnight in the front hall, and the cold wind outside the window blew from the wooden window lattices and templates on all sides, carrying the fragrance of plum blossoms, giving people a feeling of seeing the truth in the prosperous fall.

Because of Luo Zhaoyun's company, the two daughters feel that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve is extraordinarily fulfilling and happy, and they no longer have an empty tent and are alone in the empty room.

The long night was long, the three of them drank some wine to add to the festive atmosphere, Xiao Yiyi played the piano music, melodious and beautiful, Ning Muhe danced a Yue Nu swordsmanship, the hall was full of graceful shadows, and there was a sword light curtain.

Luo Zhaoyun leaned on the bench, wearing a long robe, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a plump posture like jade, experiencing this feeling of having a family.

………..

Gao Yufei stayed alone in the quiet courtyard, with food, wine and food ready, but he was a little lonely, thinking that the life and death of his clan were uncertain, and many strong men had died, and his heart was a little desolate.

However, being able to escape death and reunite with the man she missed more than once made up for the regrets in her heart.

Especially in the past few days, she has been alone with Luo Zhaoyun for a period of time every day, and she feels more and more that he has outstanding character, both civil and military, elegant conversation, and novel words, which is really different from any man she has seen over the years.

……….

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace was a big banquet, and the queens, noble concubines, jieyu, and beauties of the three palaces and six houses of the palace gathered, and the princes, grandchildren, and princesses also arrived to accompany Emperor Sui to have a reunion dinner.

Because Emperor Yang of Sui was young, he wanted to seize power for a show, saying that he was single-minded, so there were few concubines, and the children born were basically born with Queen Xiao, so there were not many of them, and the prince died young, and now the elderly, only Yang Jun, the eldest princess Yang Caihuan, and the little princess Yang Caiyu.

Although after ascending the throne, many concubines were accepted, but in the past four or five years, there have not been many princes and princesses.

Singing and dancing, elegant music, Emperor Yang of Sui watched the song and dance performance a little absent-mindedly, and still thought about how to arrest the rebellious party and attack Goguryeo.

The little princess Yang Caiyu is full of loneliness, and she feels even more bored, she hasn't seen Luo Zhaoyun for many days, that kind of taste in love, once separated, tortured, and suffocated in the palace all day, she is about to go crazy, and there is no excuse to go out of the palace to Luofu, so she can't be happy this day.

Empress Xiao intentionally or unintentionally saw that her little daughter was depressed, and she knew some of the reasons, and sighed lightly, for the sake of her daughter's happiness, would she continue to summon Luo Zhaoyun into the palace, but when she thought of the embarrassment of meeting each other, as the queen of the world, she was unarmed and indulged in bed with no clothes, and he saw it clearly, just thinking about it, she felt blushing and very uncomfortable.

……….

The New Year is better, and it is the eve of the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

In the afternoon of this day, before it was dark, Luo Zhaoyun came back from the duty of the Right Xiaowei Mansion, and the housekeeper told him in the courtyard that a scholar doctor came to the door to ask for a meeting, and waited for tea in the main hall.

This Yu Shinan's elder brother, Yu Shiji, is a secret of the special canon, and he is in charge of the internal history of the government, and he is very favored by Emperor Yang of Sui.

At present, the people of Chang'an City are rumored to be Yuwenshu, Su Wei, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, and Luo Zhaoyun are the six nobles of the imperial court!

"Yu Shinan is a resident of Jiuqing, with a five-grade official position, and he came to me, it shouldn't be a political matter."

Luo Zhaoyun walked to the side hall and went to see Yu Shinan, thinking about the other party's intentions.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Yu Shinan in a light blue robe, dressed as a Confucian scholar, without gorgeous brocade fur and jade pendant decorations, ordinary, but the bookish anger was even stronger.

"General Luo, you're back home."

"Yushe people, why do you have free time today, go to the humble house, I don't know what to see?"

Yu Shinan smiled bitterly: "Actually, I came to look for you because I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"The Lantern Festival is still two days away, some literati doctors in the eastern capital, plan to get together for a get-together, it is a snow appreciation and wine, talk about literature and poetry exchange banquet, when the time comes, many Chang'an talents and literati will go, although General Luo is a military general, but the poems have already been collected, many good articles are admired, many people are still unsatisfied, want to communicate in person, please General Luo must attend tomorrow."

Luo Zhaoyun smiled bitterly, talking about literature, I can listen to it, really write poetry, in addition to memorizing some famous sentences, writing poems by yourself is impossible to be better than these great literati of the Sui Dynasty.

"I don't need to." Luo Zhaoyun didn't want to participate in this kind of poetry banquet, worried that he would make a fool of himself.

Yu Shinan said: "That's not good, before coming, many scholars and officials were asking if General Luo would participate, which shows the expectation of you, in addition, there is a mysterious guest, who also named him, I hope you can go." ”

"Mystery guest? Who is it? Luo Zhaoyun asked.

"This, for the time being, must be kept secret, otherwise, there will be no mystery when you say it, and you won't want to go."

Luo Zhaoyun fell into hesitation, although he didn't like to discuss articles, but this was indeed a good opportunity to get acquainted with literati, if he didn't go, this circle would probably reject him behind his back, saying that he was arrogant, had no one in his eyes, and didn't take literati in his eyes, it would be self-defeating.

After all, a literati has a mouth and a pen, and sometimes, crusading against him alone is enough to make him ruined and stinking for 10,000 years.

For example, Cao Cao, who was an important figure in history, was a hero in the troubled times, in the late Han Dynasty, in the great chaos of the world, with his own strength, gathered heroes, sought the country, at least maintained the stability of the north, so that the areas north of the Yangtze River were stable, the people were able to recuperate, and even made reserve work for the unification of the whole country, and protected the orthodox culture of the Central Plains, all of which had great merits.

However, a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a literati novel, describes him as a thief who steals the country, and he has been infamous through the ages, do you say wronged?

Was it Cao Cao who stole the world of the Han Dynasty? Why the Eastern Han Dynasty was chaotic was because the dynasty had decayed, the social system and contradictions had been seriously damaged, and a new regime had to emerge to replace it.

However, in the specific historical period of the late Yuan and early Qing dynasties, in order to insinuate that the rule of the Yuan Dynasty was not orthodox, and longed for the Han people to be able to support the world and overthrow tyranny, they wrote from the perspective of Shu Han orthodoxy and belittled Cao Cao.

Yu Shinan urged: "You must go, and prepare a banquet, it will be set up in the Yanyu Building of your Luo family!" ”

Luo Zhaoyun smiled bitterly when he heard this, as the host, he really wanted to participate, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go, all the expenses for wine and food that night will be counted on me." (To be continued.) )
