Zhang Zhongwu came, the original seat changed slightly, Zheng Hao, who was originally sitting on the right head of King Yun, sat next to Ling Huji, and the position of the right head was given to the newly arrived general.

After the generals sat down, Zhang Wei whispered to Ling Huxuan beside him, "Eldest son, who is this general?" "People are curious, Zhang Wei is younger and more curious, and he can't help but ask Ling Hudao.

"This person is Zhang Zhongwu, the envoy of Fan Yangjiedu, and the two people around him are his subordinates." Ling Hu said to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Zhongwu is a person Zhang Wei doesn't know.

But I have heard of this place in Fanyang, because during the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan was Fanyang's festival envoy. From this, he knew that the place of Fanyang was today's northern Hebei and part of Liaoning.

Although the territory of the Tang Dynasty is not small, but by this time it was already the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and the territory had decreased significantly, so Fanyang, which was originally a good place, was already facing the enemy, and the northern ethnic minorities such as the Uighurs, the Ya, and the Shanxi continued to invade the south, stirring up Fanyang, which was located in the north of the Tang Dynasty, to be uneasy.

As soon as he heard that Zhang Zhongwu was the envoy of Fan Yangjie, Zhang Wei's interest came, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhongwu not far away, only to see that this person was about sixty years old, although he was in the palace, the old man's face was not so submissive, but calm.

King Yun's banquet can be so calm, his psychology should be very strong.

Waiting for Zhang Zhongwu and the others to sit down, Li Yi, the king of Yun, looked around and said, "Everyone, everything that should come today has come, and our banquet should also begin." Before our feast begins, let the maids of my house dance to cheer everyone up. ”

Then the singing and dancing began, although it was winter, but the singers in the palace of King Yun all wore very little, and danced to the melodious music.

After all, all the people present here are from the Central Plains, and the songs are of course also songs and dances with local characteristics in the Central Plains.

Perhaps it is because these songs and dances are performed here many times, although the dancers dance very hard, but they do not arouse much interest in the audience. All of their faces are as calm as water, unable to stir up waves and arouse interest.

The only thing that interested them was the two subordinates brought by Zhang Zhongwu, from the moment the dancers entered the hall, their eyes had been staring at the graceful figures of the dancers, and they were about to flow down.

When the soldiers are fighting all year round, most of the eyes are seen by the enemy's hideous appearance, and the sound of war drums and thunder is heard in the ears. Can you not salivate?

Looking at the eyes of the two subordinates that were about to pop out, Zhang Wei wanted to laugh, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that the range was just a little bigger, was it worth laughing?

While the dancers were singing and dancing hard, all the adults present were not idle, drinking when they should be drinking, and talking when they should be talking.

I saw that Zhang Zhongwu, the envoy of the Fanyang Festival who had just arrived, said to Li Yi, the king of Yun: "Lord, in addition to participating in the Layue feast when the minister returns to Beijing today, he has important things to report to the prince. ”

Li Yi, the king of Yun, who was originally appreciating singing and dancing, turned his head to look at Zhang Zhongwu, "Lord Zhang has something to say, this king listens." ”

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the northern Shanxi invaded my Datang territory many times, and the most recent one, the Shanxi thieves actually crossed Yanshan to my Youzhou territory, burning, killing and looting, and did all kinds of evil. The last general felt a great responsibility as the envoy of the Fanyang Festival, and this time he wanted to report to the saint about this matter, and asked the deputy general of the saint to lead the army to recruit Shanxi and send troops to reinforce it at the same time. Although the singing and dancing are good, Zhang Zhongwu, as the envoy of the festival, does not seem to have much interest in watching the singing and dancing, but said to King Yun worriedly.

Although the hall was noisy, it couldn't stop Zhang Wei's interest in this matter at all. As long as you are interested, you will take the initiative to listen to it from any distance.

What's more, the distance between the two is not too long, and Zhang Wei is a young man, with good hearing, and he can hear the conversation between the two quite clearly.

Shanxi attacks Datang?

Who is Shanxi?

Although he was sitting on the opposite side, Zhang Wei was very interested in Zhang Zhongwu's words.

As long as it is a boy, who doesn't have the idea of joining the army to fight and make contributions from childhood to adulthood? Although Zhang Wei has no experience in the army in the real society, but after coming to this Datang society, his first career is to join the army, and now when he heard that Shanxi invaded the Tang Dynasty, the sense of professional honor suddenly came up, and his heart was surging and eager to try.

It is a good thing to be excited, which shows that your mentality is still young and passionate, and you can still stand up and be loyal to the country at critical moments.

However, what surprised Zhang Wei was such an important national matter, how could Zhang Zhongwu say it on such an occasion?

Could it be that this Shanxi attacking Datang is already a common thing, and he is used to it?

In general, the things that can be said in public are either things that happen regularly or things that are not very important. But the matter of Shanxi's attack on the border should be a very important matter, how could Zhang Zhongwu talk about it to King Yun here?

Don't say that Zhang Wei felt strange, even Li Yi, the king of Yun, felt that it was an accident for Zhang Zhongwu to suddenly say this fact at this time, so he waved his hand and motioned him not to say any more.

Although Zhang Wei didn't know much about this Jiedu envoy named Zhang Zhongwu, he was very interested in what he said, and he also understood why he mentioned this matter to King Yun at this time. There are two reasons, one is that this Shanxi attacked the Tang Dynasty not once or twice, and the imperial court is accustomed to it after many times, and neither sends troops to clean it up nor takes your suggestion seriously. But Zhang Zhongwu, as the envoy of the festival, couldn't take it seriously, so he deliberately brought it up in this place, so that King Yun had to pay attention to it.

This is another reason is to show loyalty to King Yun, as soon as I came to Chang'an, I was the first to report the situation in Youzhou to you King Yun, can you still not support me?

It's hard to be a courtier! When others were eating, drinking, and having fun, when this party and that banquet were held, he shouldered the safety of tens of thousands of people at the border of the Tang Dynasty, and he had to bow his head and smile at these princes and magnates in order to gain the support of others.

Seeing King Yun's signal, Zhang Zhongwu stopped talking, raised his eyes to look at the dancing girls, and smiled from time to time.

Zhang Wei knew that Zhang Zhongwu's mind was definitely not on these songs and dances at this time, but was still worried about the suffering people and officers and soldiers in Fan Yang.

The dancing girls' performance project is over, and it's the turn of the magnates to perform on their own.

King Yun asked with a smile on his face, "Who started the show first?" ”

Everyone in the audience smiled embarrassedly, not wanting to be the first to perform on stage.

After waiting for a while, King Yun smiled and said to Zheng Hao: "Zheng Shilang, I think this year's Layue feast should start with you first, this king believes that as long as you get off to a good start, everyone will rush to play." ”

Since King Yun has said it, Zheng Hao did not shirk, tidied up his clothes a little and came to the center of the hall, bowed to King Yun and turned to everyone, "Since King Yun is so trusted, then how about I give you a piece of Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing"?" ”

Pipa line?

It is a very famous song in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, not to mention the number of words, and it is even more difficult to sing with music.

Zheng Hao wants to give you a piece of "Pipa Xing", it seems that he has not been idle at all these days, and he has made full preparations.
