13. The feast of the Lin De Palace
Daming Palace Linde Palace, in the Tang Dynasty is also called "three halls", it is in the right Yintai gate, the west side of the corridor connects the Hanlin Academy, the east side of the small hill is the treasury left and right hidden, the back is the Longshou Mountain, the hall is only three sides, so it is referred to as the "three halls". The Linde Hall is magnificent and the courtyard is large, so it is an ideal place for the royal banquet.
On the sixth day of the fourth month, it is the birthday of Li Shi, the Holy Spirit Wenwu Emperor, according to the custom, a big feast was set up in the Jingyun Pavilion of this hall, and the edict was issued to the ministers, the envoys of the festival, the six Shangshu, and the salt and iron, and ordered the courtiers to be more than five grades, the imperial history platform was more than five grades, and the officials of the southern province were Cao four grades or more, and the princes, princesses, county lords, high-grade women in Beijing, high-grade female officials in the palace, and the five hundred selected Shenwei and Shence meritorious soldiers, together they would gather in the Lin De Palace, the scale was at its peak for a while, and it was unique since the Great Calendar Year.
On that day, the entire hall of Jingyun Pavilion was full of people dressed in vermilion and purple, rhino with goldfish, and the princesses and female officials were crowned with a broad belt and towering clouds, and thousands of people were standing in the courtyard according to the shift, and as for the Shenwei and Shence soldiers, they could only sit around the corridor and pond outside the hall, they were all beaming, wearing the colorful brocade clothes given by the emperor, holding their hands, stretching their necks, hoping to see the emperor who appeared in the pavilion immediately, what kind of appearance it was.
Originally, Gao Yue, as the dual envoy of Xingyuan and Fengxiang, should have stood in the ranks of the envoys, but the emperor specially requested that Gao Yue have the position of envoy to participate in political affairs, which is equivalent to being in power, so he stood side by side with Li Yu, Jia Tan, and Li Mian, the three prime ministers, and happened to be in the fourth place in the shift.
Standing next to them were the elders of the court, Xiao Xin, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Yan, Cui Ning, etc., all came, and when they saw Gao Yue, they all sighed for years - Xiao Xin's body bones are still hard, and Yan Zhenqing has just suffered from foot disease, and he was carried in with his shoulder, Liu Yan's face is still clear, but he is also old, and he is old. And his father-in-law, Cui Ning, was even more obese at this time, it was still spring, and he was wearing a chapter uniform, his head was full of sweat beads on his neck, and his legs seemed to be unable to support his body.
Between the columns of the jasper corridor on the opposite side, standing is the shift of the princesses, Lingxu is of course listed first, today she did not wear a feather coat, but painted the palace makeup, wearing colorful dresses, hairpin and nine trees on her hair, full of treasure, looking at it like a goddess with a cloud head, Lingxu lowered her eyebrows, but from time to time she would stare at Gao Yue, which made Yiyang on the side laugh more than once, and Princess Deyang obviously grew taller, and there was confusion in her eyes, she didn't know what kind of fate she would face when she married back to the desert two years later- As for Princess Yun'an, she is only three years old, led by female bachelors Song Ruohua and Song Ruozhao, but she also wears flowers and dresses, looking very cute.
Soon, with the shout of Meng Guangcheng from the palm fan in the palace, the door of Jingyun Pavilion was opened, and the high seat on the steps was collected by the imperial fan, and the emperor sat on it, the crown prince Li Yu sat on his left seat, and the imperial grandson Li Chun sat on his right seat.
"This day is my birthday, so I set up a banquet in the three halls, entertain all the courtiers and foreign guests, perform songs and dances, a hundred operas, and the three religions and balances, and then hundreds of officials and soldiers have their own rewards, enjoy three days!"
"Long live my emperor." All the people in the hall turned around and shouted in unison.
After the tidal wave of praise subsided, the emperor raised his hand again and said on the spot: "First of all, news came to the palace, Yanqingzhou Dongshan Party Qiangfan Luo was in turmoil, and I gave the gift of Tuoba Zhaohui (Pingxia Party), the envoy of the Tianzhu Army, was robbed in the upper reaches of the Maling River, and some envoys and sergeants were killed. ”
"Please choose a minister after the banquet, and hang the seal to calm down." At this time, there was another neat sound in the hall.
"Inspect the school, the imperial historian, Xingyuan Yin, and judge Feng Xiang, the matter of the righteous doctor, go to the army to protect the founding of Qi County, Bo Gaoyue, and go out of class." At this time, the emperor directly called the name in front of hundreds of officials.
Gao Yue held the wat board in his hand and turned out of the train.
"I set up the five armies of the imperial camp, as the support of the Qing, first grant the commander of the imperial camp of the Qing Imperial Battalion, the military envoy of the right battalion, the envoy of the Dangqiang Zhufan of Gyeongzhou, and the vanguard envoy of the imperial camp, supervise the departments of the Wu, Yining, Suining, and Shence decisive armies, and go to Gyeongju after May to pacify the Dangqiang departments in the place, and make sure that the tribes of the Tianzhu Army are quiet."
"Chenyue, immediately follow the edict and gallop away." Gao Yue immediately received the order.
All the ministers were envious, and at this time, Li Chun, the ten-year-old imperial grandson in Jingyun Pavilion, looked at Gao Yue, who bowed his head, and suddenly asked: "Doctor Gao, although Xiao Wang lives in the palace, he has heard that there is a vision in the doctor's house. ”
Gao Yue, who asked this, was stunned, and replied that the minister really didn't know what the vision was.
Li Chun said: "There is a small cocoon in the doctor's house, and there are horns on his head recently, is there any such thing?" ”
This is who is slandering me behind my back!
It also came to the Daming Palace!
Gao Yue was a little frightened in his heart, when did Bao Bao have horns on his head? There must be a thief spreading rumors, and the dog raised in this family has horns on his head, doesn't it imply that I have the opposite?
At this moment, Gao Yue hurriedly said: "This little cocoon was given to the inner person many years ago by the minister's father-in-law when he guarded Xishu, it has always been docile and lovely, the most reasonable, the top of the heavenly court is round like a goose egg, there is no strange thing with long horns, if there is a vision in the minister's family, it is not this cocoon." ”
For a while, Gao Yue skillfully changed the topic, and the crown prince Li Yu glared at his son, and asked Gao Yue (after all, the prince is grateful to him): "What is the real vision?" ”
"Since the marriage between the minister and the insider, the family house has moved everywhere, but everywhere he goes, there will be a flock of magpies flying and building a nest on the beam of the minister's house, which is the only vision that the minister knows."
After these words were spoken, the emperor and the crown prince on the high seat all laughed, and the courtiers and concubines present also laughed.
The emperor said, "I once heard that Cui Yuan's (705-768) wife was playing with her sisters in the garden, and saw two magpies holding a piece of wood with a pen tube and flying into the nest, but the sisters could not see it. Today's Gao Qing's wife, isn't it Cui Yuan's wife? ”
"Your Majesty Shengcong." When all the ministers shouted this sentence, they all understood in their hearts that after pacifying the party, Gao Yue was bound to pay homage to the prime minister, and about Li Mi and Jia Tanhou, it was he and Lu Zhen who shared the palm of the book.
Only Princess Lingxu looked at Gao Yue with resentment after hearing this vision, thinking that fate had given the fifth little lady of the Cui family the first opportunity, otherwise I could also serve you and give birth to children for you, but now I can only cultivate in the female crown alone.
Then the emperor waved his hand and announced the start of the banquet, and the outfield of the Lin De Hall took the lead in performing my Tang Dynasty's "Breaking Array Music"!
