Danfeng Gate goes straight in, and the Daxing Palace at night is like day, and the festive atmosphere is strong

Li Jian introduced the layout of Daxing Palace to Zhou Xuan as he walked, and the three main halls - Baoyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Hall and Zichen Palace, Baoyuan Hall is a place to hold large-scale celebrations and meet envoys from various countries; The Xuanzheng Hall is used to convene ministers and officials to worship; Zichen Hall is the palace where the emperor deals with daily government affairs, there is the Taiye Pond in the middle of the palace city, the halls around the Taiye Pond are the places where the emperor's concubines live, that is, the harem, in addition, there are the royal gardens that can be amused, the whole Daxing Palace is large-scale, the palace pavilions, row upon row.

The Baoyuan Hall of black tile red pillar, white wall and green ridge is like a giant eagle falling from the sky, a mountain lamp eight zhang high on the square in front of the palace is brilliant and dazzling, the silk and bamboo orchestra is overflowing, the five colors are fascinating, and the five tones are intoxicating.

Zhou Xuan was dizzy, unconsciously forgetting his injured leg, the bamboo cane in his hand was not touched to the ground, dragging it away, or the crown prince Li Jian gently pushed his arm to remind him, and then he pretended that his left leg did not dare to be forced.

When I was about to arrive at the Zichen Palace, a group of palace maids came to the corridor, one by one carrying glass palace lamps and rosewood palace lamps, singing and swallowing, laughing and noisy, and when I saw Li Jian, I quickly avoided it.

Li Jian recognized that this was the palace maid of Jingxu Palace, and today's Lantern Festival, they all went to Daxing Palace to play, so he asked, "Is Princess Qingle here?" ”

The palace ladies were about to answer, when a sweet voice came first: "Brother Huang, I'm here." ”

I saw a tall palace girl carrying a carp lamp, waist section of the waist, in an instant, the clear moon in the sky, the gorgeous palace lamp on the ground have lost their color. All the drumming orchestra and fireworks *** disappeared in an instant, Zhou Xuan was deaf in both ears, and there was only a slender shadow in his eyes five zhang away, and he felt that lotus flowers would bloom everywhere this girl stepped on-

No rhetoric can describe her beauty!

Zhou Xuan has not seen beautiful women, his two wives can be called beauties, and the little prostitute is even more beautiful in the world, but he has never made him so out of shape!

Isn't it stunning? No, there was no surprise at all. The irresistible beauty grabbed his heart in an instant. I simply forgot to breathe.

Li Jian asked, "Hu Zhu." Have you met your father? ”

Princess Li Huzhu of Qingle glanced at Zhou Xuan and replied, "I've seen it, now go to the queen mother, and the queen mother said that she wanted to show me a few paintings." ”

Zhou Xuan had already come back to his senses at this time, and quickly withdrew his gaze, it was very rude to look at the princess of Tang Kingdom so selflessly.

Li Jian said with a smile: "I know that the queen mother wants to show you whose land is painted, it is definitely not a new work to be painted in Gu Hong." It is a picture of an exotic and novel costume lady painted by Zhou Gongzi in front of him. ”

Princess Qingle glanced at Zhou Xuan again, her clear eyes carried a hint of novelty, her gaze moved downward, and she deliberately looked at Zhou Xuan's legs, as if she was a little sorry.

Zhou Xuan bowed and said, "Zhou Xuan, the grass people, has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Princess Qingle said "um", nodded in greeting, and then said to Li Jian: "Brother Huang, then I will go to the queen mother." ”

A group of palace maids carried colorful palace lanterns and hugged Princess Qingle and walked away. Li Jian saw that Zhou Xuan was a little distracted. smiled with relief, he knew that the beauty of his royal sister would be straight at the first sight of anyone. said: "Brother Zhou, let's go, my father is still waiting." ”

Outside the Zichen Palace, the eunuch on duty went in to report, and this meeting will send a decree to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan followed behind Li Jian, stepped up to the hall, and saw Li Meimu sitting on the dragon chair with a smile and looking at him, so he quickly put down the bamboo cane, pretending to be very difficult to kneel down and bow down.

Li waved his hand and said, "Zhou Qing has an injury on his leg, so he will be spared." ”

Zhou Xuan couldn't wait, when he came to ancient times, the last thing he wanted was to kneel for people, and immediately thanked him with a cane: "Grass people Zhou Xuan thanked Your Majesty." ”

Li Ming's inner servant moved two embroidered piers for Li Jian and Zhou Xuan to sit down, and asked, "Zhou Qing, how about winning or losing chess?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Back to the emperor, the grass people won by luck. ”

Li let out an "oh" and asked, "Who is the opponent?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The grandson of the Zhaowu Army. ”

Li Hua's white silkworm raised her eyebrows, and said with a little surprise: "Sun Xuelu is among the eighteen major chess players, Zhou Qing can win in battle, and his chess power is extraordinary." ”

Li Jian said: "Father, Zhou Xuan not only won the chess title in Fenghua Sanzhou, last year he traveled to Hongzhou with insects, and won the top of the Chongyang Insect War in Hongzhou, and the rest of the tea fights, wine fights, music, and paintings are all excellent, and what is even more rare is that Zhou Xuan also has a loyalty to serve my Tang Kingdom. ”

Li Jian praised too much, and Li couldn't help laughing: "Zhou Qing has the talent of Guan Zhong and Zhuge ? Jian'er, you're so lucky. ”

Zhou Xuan's old face flushed, and he was compared to Zhuge Liang, ashamed, ashamed, ashamed, but at this time, he was frightened, and he had to hold on, and said: "How dare the grass people compare with Guan Zhong and Kong Ming, but the grass people have always cared about the general trend of the world. ”

Li looked at Zhou Xuan with a smile and said, "Today's Lantern Festival, only talk about ***, don't talk about state affairs." ”

Zhou Xuan was stunned, only talking about ***, don't talk about state affairs, Li Xian said it, Li was really dizzy, his mind turned, and he had the idea of lobbying Li, and said: "The grass people know that the emperor is proficient in music and rhythm, and his lyrics and songs are unparalleled. ”

Li Dao: "I summoned you to do local things for the five words, Zhou Qing's words, even I have to admire, three of the five words are masterpieces - 'helpless flowers fall, déjà vu Yan returns' - 'cut and mess up, it's sorrow' - wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Zhou Xuanxin said: "The cut is still messy, this is your Li work, I plagiarized your masterpiece and you still praise me, wonderful, this world is too wonderful!" He said modestly: "Your Majesty has an overreputation, and I occasionally feel it, and it is not worth laughing at." ”

Li asked: "Zhou Qing, that que."

Is it your own music card? ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Exactly. Grass people love long and short sentences, but hate too few songs, small orders are the majority, last night on the shore of Mochou Lake to listen to the prostitute playing the flute, smell the fragrance of plum blossoms, suddenly have a feeling, chant this long and short sentences, and with the prostitute sheep Xiaofeng together to create the tune of "Dark Fragrance". ”

Lee was in high spirits. said: "Then ask Zhou Qing to play this song for me." What instrument does Zhou Qing need? ”

Zhou Xuan's forehead was sweating. He can only play the harmonica, he used to be greedy for Jingyi Fairy to blow the flute, and learned from her for a few days, but then he put things aside as soon as he was busy, and said: "Your Majesty, silk is not as good as bamboo, and bamboo is not as good as meat." Why don't the grass people sing this song to Your Majesty. ”

Li applauded, "Very good." ”

Zhou Xuan sang the familiar "Dark Fragrance" that Yang Xiaofeng taught him to sing:

"In the old days, the moonlight, count a few times to shine on me, and play the flute on the plum side. Evoke the jade people, regardless of the cold and climbing. He Xun is now getting farther and farther away, and he has forgotten and written in the spring breeze. But it's strange, embroidered outside the flowers, fragrant and cold into the Yao seat. Jiangguo is lonely. Sigh and send the road away, the snow at night is accumulating. Cui Zun is easy to cry. The red calyx was speechless. Changji has been hand in hand. Thousands of trees press, West Lake cold blue. When will you see it all in pieces? ”

Li Feng's eyes were half-closed, and his hands pressed the beat. was very intoxicated, and after Zhou Xuan finished singing, he said: "Zhou Qing's song is still not perfect, and I will change it for Qing." ”

Zhou Xuan hurriedly said: "It can be modified by His Majesty, and the grass people are lucky." ”

Li asked: "How much is Zhou Qing expensive this year?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The grass people are four out of twenty this year. ”

Li glanced at Li Jian and said: "Twenty-four, that is Chang Jian'er is one year old, it is when he is young, why Zhou Qing's lyrics often have a sense of desolation, and his deep emotion seems to be inconsistent with Zhou Qing's age - take the words of "Dark Fragrance" as an example, this sentence 'He Xun is getting farther away now, all forget, spring breeze words', if the word 'farther away' is changed to 'getting old', the meaning of the words is good, and non-forty-year-old lyricists can't make such words and sentences when they ponder the past. ”

Now Zhou Xuan is really admired, Emperor Li is really not simple, the comprehension ability in poetry is amazing, the word "dark incense" is the Southern Song Dynasty lyricist Jiang Kui's late masterpiece, the song card is original, Zhou Xuan chose this word when he felt that "He Xun is getting old" This sentence does not match his age, he is very young, how can he say old, so the word "getting old" is changed to "gradually distant", indicating that it is all old things that are far away, I didn't expect to be Li to see this subtle change in the context of the word!

Zhou Xuan changed his face with a smile and said in a deep voice: "The grass people once said to Your Majesty that the grass people are from Australia in the South China Sea, who have experienced the pain of the country's ruin, and are now secretly born in the Tang Kingdom, they are really two generations of people, although the grass people are only twenty-four years old, but the heart is old enough to be sixty years old, the grass people indulge in poetry and wine on weekdays, and seem to be extremely happy, but who knows the pain in their hearts?" Only occasionally revealed in the poems, I didn't expect Your Majesty to see it at a glance! ”

Li Lian nodded: "Zhou Xuanzhen is a sad person through the ages-'The carved fence jade should still be carved, and the jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed." How sad can you be? Just like a river flowing eastward, if it is not sad, it will not be able to make such a masterpiece, the luck of the word, and the misfortune of Zhou Qing. ”

Zhou Xuan looked like he was stupid and recalled, Li asked him twice but he didn't hear it, so anxious that Li Jian pushed him, and then he came to his senses and confessed: "The grass people remembered the past of their homeland, please don't blame Your Majesty for the rudeness." ”

Li asked Zhou Xuan about Australia? Zhou Xuan was careful not to let there be loopholes in his words, and based on the late Ming Dynasty, he virtualized the process of the destruction of a dynasty, which had many similarities with the current Tang State, where the upper-class nobles were focused on pleasure and did not repair armaments, causing the northern barbarians to sit on the throne and then lose the country.

After hearing this, Li raised his white eyebrows and was silent for a long time.

Zhou Xuan said: "Tonight is the Lantern Festival, I really shouldn't say this to Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

Li Xu said: "What Zhou Qing said is quite ironic, so let's discuss it tomorrow and decide whether to send troops to the Song Kingdom." ”

Zhou Xuan hit the railway while it was hot: "Your Majesty is wise, there are some things that Your Majesty can arbitrarily decide, why bother to discuss in the court, there are many people, each insists on one word, and it can't be discussed for a few days, once the Zhao uncle and nephew reconcile, then the Tang Kingdom will inevitably suffer from war." ”

Li Jian said: "Father, what Zhou Xuan said is very true, my Tang State should immediately send an envoy to Chengdu to show favor to Zhao Defang, promise to provide him with money and food, let him see the hope of defeating Zhao Guangyi, and support him to the death, and my Tang army does not have to really start a war with Zhao Guangyi, only tens of thousands of Chen soldiers in Shouzhou, Sizhou, Haozhou, and Chuzhou, and make a posture of attacking Zhao Guangyi, so that Zhao Guangyi can be contained, the siege of Zhao Defang can be relieved, and his uncle and nephew can continue to confront each other, and the northern border of our Tang Kingdom can be safe." ”

Li nodded and said: "It's good that you don't have to fight, what I'm afraid of is setting yourself on fire, let Wei Xuan draw up a decree tomorrow, and send an envoy to Chengdu immediately." ”

Zhou Xuan and Li Jian glanced at each other, and they were both happy.

Coming out of the Zichen Palace, Li Jian held Zhou Xuan's hand and said: "Brother Xuan not only has the talent of Guan Zhong and Zhuge , but also the debate of Zhang Yi and Su Qin. ”

Li Jian personally sent Zhou Xuan back to Mochou Lake, and saw that Judge Fan, Gu Liuquan, Three Idiots, and Four Idiots had all come back first, and only after asking did he know that Gu Liuquan lost to Lan Xueting, and the three idiots defeated Yang Zhao, so that the Fenghua Army defeated the Zhaowu Army 2 to 1, and half a month later, the two main chess players of Fenghua and Zhaowu would meet again and fight again.

Zhou Xuan was in a good mood this night, solved the temporary crisis of the Tang Kingdom, won the chess again, his sexual interest was high, and he was ready to spoil the little prostitute, but when he saw Yang Xiaofeng, he blushed and said: "Pain in the lower abdomen." ”

Zhou Xuan is an experienced person, and when he saw Yang Xiaofeng's shy appearance, he immediately understood what was going on, and told Yang Xiaofeng with a smile to pay attention to keeping warm, and it would be more comfortable to use a thermos to cook a small belly.

Childe is also too knowledgeable, and Yang Xiaofeng is too ashamed to raise his head.

Zhou Xuan returned to his room, and saw that Xiaoxiang, who was completely childless, was still warming his bed, and couldn't help but sigh, they were all fourteen-year-old girls, why was the difference so big?
