Seeing that the two sisters were safe and sound, the crown prince Gao Taiming was overflowing with joy, and hurriedly ordered the servants to send them back to the backyard of the palace.

Looking at Li Nan in front of him, Gao Taiming smiled and said: "The righteous man stepped forward to save the sister, and my Gao family is grateful!" ”

Li Nan said modestly: "My Great Song people pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, and the righteous are to help others, so that my sister is harmed by gangsters. ”

Li Nan's attitude of giving great grace without taking credit made Gao Taiming very satisfied, and he said with a smile: "My father and emperor have learned about this, so he specially invited all the ministers to hold a banquet in the palace tonight, in order to celebrate the safe return of his sister, and also to thank the righteous people." ”

This time, Li Nan worked hard to save the Gao sisters, in fact, in order to contact many high-ranking officials in Dali and understand the relationship between them.

In this era, all the countries around the Great Song Dynasty were seriously sinicized, even the Liao State was no exception, not to mention the small country of Dali.

In the evening, after Li Nan followed the crown prince Gao Taiming into the palace where the monarch of Dali lived, the few words that appeared in his mind were ordinary, simple and narrow.

This Dali Imperial Palace is far inferior to the magnificent residence of Song Huizong in Tokyo City, and it is not even as huge and magnificent as the mansions of powerful ministers such as Gao Yu and Cai Jing.

Although the area of this imperial palace is not large, it is also the top in Dali, and it is more than enough to entertain dozens of courtiers.

On the table are fresh melons and fruits, candied fruits, small snacks and the like, there is nothing new.

However, there are dozens of Dali's unique flower teas that are particularly novel, such as Tulip water fragrance, new lotus jade dew, peony spring, Muxi dew, citron soup, etc., dazzling all kinds of patterns, or fresh, or rich, or moist and sweet, which opened Li Nan's eyes.

All the ministers have taken their seats in order, and the emperor Gao Shengtai, who has seized the Dali Kingdom of the Duan family, is sitting in the center, the first seat on the left is the crown prince Gao Taiming, and the first on the right is Duan Zhengchun, the current patriarch of the Duan family.

Today's banquet is mainly to celebrate the safe return of the two princesses, so the protagonist is Li Nan, so he sits in the second seat on the left.

The purpose of Li Nan's visit this time was to observe the head of the enemy country, so after sitting on the seat, he carefully looked at Emperor Gao Shengtai.

It is difficult to estimate the age of the ancients, and Gao Shengtai, who was wearing a yellow robe and had a white beard, was at least sixty miles away.

Li Nan, who is considered a master of martial arts, found that although Gao Shengtai was old, he had a ruddy complexion, a straight sitting posture, broad shoulders and a strong body, thick calluses on the palms of his hands, and a special temperament that only a master has.

Gao Shengtai scanned the whole hall with a majestic and sharp gaze, and after watching all the ministers in the palace sit down, he said loudly: "Today, I summoned you and others, first, to celebrate the safe return of the two princesses, Anping and Anle, and secondly, to thank Nanfeng, the righteous warrior of the Song people who saved them, and third, Taiming!" ”

Gao Taiming stood up in response, clapped his palms gently, and a team of palace guards immediately walked in outside the hall, dragging seven or eight men covered in blood and bound to the middle of the main hall.

Gao Taiming said coldly: "These people are the assassins who assassinated the two princesses, and the other is a partial general who has been bribed in the city guards. ”

The Praetorian guard kicked one of the Assassins who was kneeling on the ground, and he shouted, "Yang Wuchong gave us fifty taels of gold, let me wait to capture and kill the two princesses!" ”

The bribed city guard general also said dejectedly: "Dong Xisai gave me a hundred taels of gold to help them escape, and I hid all the money under the tree in the backyard of my house." ”

Hearing the words spoken by the assassins themselves, the ministers in the palace exclaimed, but their performances were different, Yang Wuchong and Dong Xi, the patriarchs of the two great clans, were pale, and Duan Zhengchun bowed his head and drank without caring about himself.

The four major families of Dali have been entangled for hundreds of years, and none of them has the ability to completely destroy each other, so the situation is more complicated.

Gao Shengtai raised his right hand and made a downward slashing gesture, and several palace guards received the order and immediately drew their swords and stabbed the prisoners to death.

"Hahaha......" Gao Shengtai looked around at everyone and laughed: "These assassins are full of nonsense, trying in vain to sow discord between me and Yang Dong, how can such a clumsy bitter trick be concealed from the world. In my opinion, most of this matter was done by Li Nan of Jiaozhi, or Zhenla, and the two Aiqing don't have to worry too much. ”

Hearing Gao Shengtai say this, Yang Wuchong and Dong Xi breathed a sigh of relief and praised loudly: "Your Majesty Shengming! This must have been done by a villain in a neighboring country! ”

Li Nan, who had been watching the play from the sidelines, never expected that this black cauldron would be detained on his head, and he didn't know if Gao Shengtai, the usurping emperor, was not sure to kill the two major families, or if there was a secret in this matter.

The guards dragged away a few corpses, and the palace people hurriedly came out to wash the bloodstains in the hall, Gao Shengtai faced the ministers, raised his glass and said: "Today, the princess has returned safely, these insidious thieves have been removed, come, I will wait to drink this cup!" ”

After everyone drank the wine in the cup, the palace singers dressed in thin colorful clothes held pipa, flute, sheng flute, gonghou and other silk and bamboo string music, and floated up to the main hall with a melodious music.

After the dance was over, the sound of silk and bamboo gradually stopped, and the hall was quiet again, Gao Shengtai looked at Li Nan and said, "I heard that you are from the Song Dynasty, I don't know if you can read Wenmo?" ”

Li Nan got up and said: "I have read some books since I was a child, and I know a little about poetry, calligraphy and painting. ”

Gao Shengtai heard Li Nan say this, and said happily: "I have practiced articles and martial arts since I was a child. At the age of fourteen, he was known as the No. 1 in Greater China. He also once debated with various Qingping officials and Bu Xie on the Wuhua Tower. It's rare to meet a talented man like you in the Great Song Dynasty, I am excited, if today's banquet comes up with a topic, you and my ministers in the middle of the world rely on this title to do a word, who has the best words, I have my own rich reward, how about it? ”

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they immediately exchanged their heads and ears, and everyone knew that Gao Shengtai had always been rewarded quite richly, so they were all ready to win the championship this time.

Gao Shengtai said loudly: "Limit the use of the word card 'Partridge Day', write a nostalgic word to send away love, there must be an ancient song name embedded in it, at least one word card name in each sentence, you can only use a part of the word card, but there must be more than two words, a total of more than twelve word cards, and at least two star names should be embedded to remember this good night." It is also advisable to write about people or things that have something to do with princesses and kings. Whoever does well can get a mansion in the city, 300 acres of land outside the city, and 100 serf households. ”

Two beautiful maidens hung up a white silk and prepared cinnabar pen and ink, which meant that the applicant wrote words on this white silk for everyone to see.

It's a pity that the white silk hung up for a while, and no one answered, not to mention the younger generation, even those who read poetry and books began to scratch their ears and cheeks.

Gao Shengtai's question is a bit too difficult, not to mention the use of word cards as lyrics, but also to have nostalgia for the past, and more requirements for the number of word cards, whether it is those ministers who want to perform well in front of the emperor,
