Chapter 250: Dance

After the ceremony, the courtiers returned. When it comes to today's events, he is silent. Especially Xiao Yu and other people who were named by Princess Yicheng and scolded the traitor for glory, and they couldn't die well, they were even more depressed, Xiao Yu and Qu Tutong were a lot older, and they were even more seriously ill because of this.

When Li Shimin returned to Taiji Palace, his face was still very gloomy, but under the persuasion of Empress Changsun, the indignation in his heart disappeared a lot.

"Guanyin, tell me, Emperor Jinyang raised troops for the sake of this common people, why did he become a chaotic minister and thief in this world? If this woman Yicheng is talking nonsense among the people, it is really reassuring! Speaking of this, Li Shimin's face was a little gloomy again.

The eldest grandson was stunned when he heard this, and persuaded softly: "Erlang, I have also heard about today's affairs, but you don't know Yicheng's temper!" Besides, she is just talking about it, and she is just majestic, so why should Your Majesty be angry with her! ”

Li Shimin snorted and stopped talking, but his face was much better than just now.

The eldest grandson smiled again: "Erlang, Sister Xiao has been here today, and seeing her appearance, the concubine guesses that she may have come to intercede for Yicheng!" ”

The "Sister Xiao" in the mouth of the eldest grandson was in Dingxiang City, and was sent to the Tang Dynasty by Kang Sumi.

When Li Shimin heard this, he turned his head and looked at the eldest grandson with some surprise.

The eldest grandson got up and took Li Shimin's hand, and said softly: "Erlang, since Sister Xiao has spoken, don't dig deeper!" ”

Li Shimin sighed and nodded slightly.

The eldest grandson suddenly smiled, and the room was full of brilliance for a while: "Okay, Erlang!" Since my Datang has won a big battle, don't do this! Come, clean up, and have a big feast in the evening! ”

The lights are on at night.

As night fell, the palace lanterns slowly lit up one after another, gently fluttering in the cold February wind.

When Zhang Yunwen and Chi Jingde and other generals entered the Lingyan Pavilion, the chamberlain, who was already waiting by the door, suddenly shouted: "Here, the generals are here!" ”

At this time, the so-called twenty-four heroes have not been hung in the Lingyan Pavilion, after all, it has only been four years of Zhenguan at this time. When he heard the three words Lingyan Pavilion, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but think, if Li Shimin's portrait of the heroes was hung in this Lingyan Pavilion, would he be among the twenty-four heroes of this Lingyan Pavilion?

When I came downstairs, I saw that the entire Lingyan Pavilion was hung with palace lamps from the corridor to the corner of the eaves, and the bright lights were sprinkled down, like day.

Stepping up to the Lingyan Pavilion, through the narrow but bright corridor, into the lobby of the Lingyan Pavilion.

As soon as I arrived in the lobby, I heard the sound of a silk bamboo orchestra coming slowly, the lyrics were bright, and there was the sound of golden drums, as if I was on the battlefield, I felt that the blood was surging, and I wanted to take out the sword and gun immediately and fight with the enemy.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is playing the breaking array again!" Liu Hongji, who was walking in front, stopped and said to the generals with a smile.

All the generals smiled at the same time, stood outside the door, and listened to the gradually excited voice of silk and bamboo with excited faces.

When the song ended, Li Shimin's hearty laughter came from inside the house: "Everyone, Aiqing is standing at the door, why don't you come in quickly!" ”

The generals pushed the door and entered, only to see that the lobby was as bright as day, and three large bronze mirrors stood behind the three candles, reflecting the light emitted by the candles. In the middle of the field is a thick wool carpet embroidered with large peonies, and a stove emits a trace of heat in each of the four corners.

In the lobby, several cases are placed, and one side is already full of people, and if you take a closer look, it is the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other civil officials, all of whom are today's humerus. On the upper seat, there were Emperor Li Yuan, Emperor Li Shimin, and Prince Li Chengqian.

This was the first time Zhang Yunwen had seen Li Yuan since the Xuanwumen Incident. At this time, Li Yuan already had gray hair and wrinkles on his face. Due to being in the deep palace for a long time, his skin looks very fair, but his physical condition is much worse, and he coughs once or twice from time to time.

Among the courtiers, there was also a person who coughed from time to time, but it was Du Ruhui.

In a corner, there were two rows of musicians and singers, who must have played the breaking music just now.

Everyone was about to salute, but Li Shimin waved his hand again and again and said: "Zhong Aiqing doesn't need to be polite!" Take a seat first! ”

The generals hugged their fists and gradually sat behind a few cases.

As soon as the generals sat down, Wei Zheng got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes in the lobby were focused on Wei Zheng. Zhang Yunwen quietly glanced at Li Shimin's face, and saw that there was a look of insecurity on his face.

I only heard that Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the ministers heard that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift." Your Majesty since the enthronement, all bow to thrift, diligence and frugality, today His Majesty gave a banquet to the Lingyan Pavilion, but the minister saw that there are a lot of lights here, but many palace lamps are unnecessary, can be completely removed. That's a huge savings! ”

Li Shimin let out a "hmm" and smiled faintly: "Wei Qing is serious!" Today is the time to rejoice in the ministers, so I have made people shine with lights and lights! After today, I will be thrifty! ”

Wei Zheng nodded, bowed down and said, "Weichen is also a micro-defense!" ”

At this time, two figures appeared at the door of the hall again, one of them was Jieli Khan, who was captured today, and the other was Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian.

When the two came to the hall, they first met Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Chengqian, and then sat silently behind a few cases.

When Li Yuan saw the Jieli Khan, he immediately showed a look of disbelief.

Li Shimin said with a smile on the side: "The emperor, the child said that he would definitely be in front of him, and the emperor would fall!" Today, the Khan has been executed in front of the emperor, and the emperor is invited to send it down! ”

After Li Yuan heard this, he was silent for a moment, staring at Jieli below, and fell into memories for a while. After a long time, he sighed and said, "In the past, Han Gaozu was trapped in Baideng and could not be reported; Now my son can destroy the Turks, I entrust it to win people, why worry! ”

After sighing, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then ask Jieli Khan to perform a dance for me!" ”

At this point, Jieli's face changed. Although he thought about the possible humiliation when Li Xiaogong came to invite him, he still couldn't help frowning when he heard Li Yuan talk about the dance.

However, just as he frowned, a wave of pressure came. Jieli looked at it, but it was Li Shimin's eyes staring at him, and that gaze seemed to say: "I spared your life today!" ”

Jieli suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Smiled reluctantly, stood up, saluted Li Yuan, and danced to the accompaniment of the musicians. He danced the traditional Turkic dance, although the dance was not very beautiful, but it made Li Yuan and his ministers look at it with relish.

At the end of the song, Jieli stopped, hung his head and returned to the back of the meeting, and then never looked up. However, Zhang Yunwen clearly saw the tear stains on the hem of his clothes.

At this time, Zhang Yunwen suddenly remembered a poem: In the past 40 years, the country has been 3,000 miles of mountains and rivers. Fengge Longlou is even Xiaohan, Yushu Qiongzhi is a smoke, and he has known a few times. Once he was classified as a captive, his waist and temples were consumed. The most is the day of the hasty resignation of the temple, the church still plays a parting song, and weeps to the palace.

After the dance, everyone began to drink one cup after another. Of course, it was not a fairy drunk that was drunk, but a fine wine brewed by the court.

On the side, the musicians played music, the dancing girls in the field were dancing, and the civil and military ministers were drinking wine, eating delicacies, and staggering, so lively.

After drinking, Li Yuan clapped his hands and laughed wildly, and actually snatched the pipa from a musician's hand, and began to twist it lightly and slowly, and began to play. And when Li Shimin saw Li Yuan waving the pipa, he immediately smiled and said: "Father, you want to talk about the pipa!" Dance with your child! After speaking, Li Shimin jumped up, jumped over a few cases, came to the field, twisted his waist, and danced the Hu Xuan dance.

When the dancing girls saw Li Shimin's appearance, they all listened to it, and slowly stepped aside, leaving a large open space for Li Shimin.

Watching Li Shimin turn around again and again, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but laugh secretly, after people get drunk, they just say a few words of nonsense, and they beat people with big movements, and these two fathers and sons, one plays the pipa and the other dances, which is really interesting.

A number of civil and military ministers also accompanied the two, and many ministers were already half-drunk.

The feast lasted until midnight, and the civil and military officials stayed in the palace that night.
