Chapter Twenty-Seven: There Is No Good Feast
I'm going to make an embarrassing cancer.,The last chapter actually typed the name of the chapter.,The background can't be modified.,That's it.,Don't bother editing.,It's anti-piracy.
Lin De Hall is splendid, located on the high ground on the west side of the Taiye Pool, Zhenguan five years before the beginning of the construction, Zhenguan four years of the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, the national strength gradually became rich and strong, the Quartet came to congratulate, in order to highlight the magnanimity of the Tang Dynasty, so as to specially build the Lin De Palace, and then, here has also become a banquet for His Majesty Li Er, an informal meeting with the envoys of Fanbang and a place for entertainment. Each palace in the palace is built very exquisitely, all palaces sit in the north and face south, according to the five elements of the eight trigrams, the east is wood, the south belongs to fire, the west is gold, and the north belongs to water.
The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the embodiment of the true dragon, and he should sit on the water level to suppress the fire, trying to protect the dynasty forever.
Although this kind of attempt is useless, from the perspective of Feng Shui, it is extremely correct to sit in the north and face south.
The Son of Heaven sits in the north and faces south, and the imperial view of the emperor is also a symbol of receiving ministers, listening to the affairs of the world, and symbolizing facing the light and governing the world.
But when this statement comes to Xuan Shijing, he will only say it lazily: It's good to face south, and the sun is comfortable.
His Royal Highness Lin De has a two-layer pedestal, the main hall itself is composed of three main halls in the front, middle and back, the three halls are nine rooms wide, and the main hall is an empty square, there are several teams of knights waiting in the field, and there should be a few polo matches in a while.
When Xuan Shijing and Fang Yiai arrived at the Lin De Palace, there were nearly 1,000 people waiting under the front porch of the hall, including the princes and princes, the royal family, as well as the important members of the court and the envoys from various countries who came to congratulate, as well as the artists waiting to perform the opera.
Although there are many people, under the guidance of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, they are in order, but the number of Yulin troops patrolling outside the Lin De Hall has increased several times Because in this kind of day, there is no room for a little mistake.
"Beloved brother, aren't you sitting with Ling Zun?" Xuan Shijing asked.
Fang Yiai glanced at Xuan Shijing with disdain: "Xuanhou, it's the first time you've participated in this kind of banquet in the palace, right?" ”
Xuan Shijing thought for a while and shook his head: "No, I participated once when I was a child. ”
"Forget it, I don't pay attention to you on this, this level of banquet is generally for young people in the imperial capital to sit together, Your Majesty and the queen mother are at the top, and then the prince and the princess, as well as the princess and the horse, etc., followed by the ministers of the court and the envoys of the Fanbang, if there is a noble person among the envoys of the Fanbang, they are sitting opposite the members of the royal family."
"Oh, so we're sitting together, huh?" Xuan Shijing said.
Fang Yiai shook his head: "Where are you sitting, I don't know, after all, you are also a marquis, different from those of us who are idle." ”
Xuan Shijing inherited the title of Xuan Mingde, because he had no merit, so Xuan Mingde's Duke of Jin came to Xuan Shijing, and he had been demoted to the rank of marquis.
The banquet has not officially begun, so the young people of the imperial capital gathered together in twos and threes, and the most people around them were the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Ke sat quietly on the side, occasionally saying hello to the envoys of Fanbang, and they never lost their manners.
"Let's go, it seems that His Royal Highness King Wu and His Royal Highness King Wei are the purest around." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai, and the most competitive princes are Li Ke and Li Tai, but neither of them has any such thoughts, so the ministers who come and go are all running to Li Chengqian.
Fang Yiai followed Xuan Shijing to Li Ke and Li Tai's side, and the two found a soft couch, pulled it over, and sat down.
Xuan Shijing was in a hurry to enter the palace in the morning, and he hadn't eaten breakfast, so he was really a little hungry at this time.
"You two are idle." Xuan Shijing smiled, then picked up the pastries on the table and ate them, and beckoned to the little eunuch who was waiting next to him: "Go get me some water, I'm a little thirsty." ”
"Yes, Master Hou." The little eunuch bowed and retreated.
"Loneliness is happy to be idle." Li Ke said with a smile: "The banquet in this palace is actually like this, it is nothing more than everyone getting together, chatting about the world, and enhancing their feelings. ”
"That's right, Xiaojing, you eat slowly, no one robs you, why are you so hungry, haven't you eaten in the morning?" Li Tai saw that Xuan Shijing was in a hurry, and the little eunuch hadn't come back yet, so he was afraid that Xuan Shijing would choke, so he poured him a glass of wine with a tea bowl.
"Don't say it, I really didn't eat in the morning, His Royal Highness King Wei, is it difficult for you to participate in this kind of banquet all year round? It's not for you to eat when the banquet is officially opened," Xuan Shijing said, he was not embarrassed to say that he had to eat quickly now, maybe he would have to fight the ministers for a while.
Sure enough, it's the most annoying thing
"By the way, I heard that this time the envoys of Fanbang came to Datang with the intention of making peace with Datang?" Xuan Shijing asked.
Li Tai nodded: "That's right, Lu Dongzan of Tibet, Gao Huanquan of Goguryeo, and the elders of the Six Kingdoms of Nanzhao also gave their new king to marry a princess." ”
"Which princess do they want to be with?" Xuan Shijing put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked with squinted eyes.
"Lu Dongzan asked for a son-in-law for Tubo Songtsen Gampo, Goguryeo's Gao Huanquan also liked his son, as for other states, he didn't say it, but the first goal must be a son." Li Tai sneered: "A bunch of delusional guys. ”
"These bastards" Xuan Shijing raised his eyebrows: "Songtsan Gampo already has a concubine, and he dares to come to the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess?" Let the princess of the Tang Dynasty make a partial house for him? It seems that Wei Guogong didn't beat them. ”
Before Songtsen Gampo sent Lu Dongzan to the Tang Dynasty, in order to consolidate his throne in Tubo, he had already married the princess of Niboro.
As for Gao Huanquan, His Majesty Li Er has already seen Gao Huanquan's pustule temperament, and it is estimated that he already dislikes it, and the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo is very delicate now, and Goguryeo's peace strategy this time is probably going to be stillborn.
Li Ke smiled: "No, it is precisely because Wei Guogong is afraid of beating them that they will come to Datang to ask for peace, the battle between Datang and Tubo has made Tubo understand that the terrain of Tubo is no longer a threat to Datang, as long as they go to the plateau, the army of Datang will defeat them, unless Tubo hides on the plateau for a lifetime and does not come down, otherwise, there is only a share of being beaten." ”
"The terrain in Tubo is indeed a headache, but it is not impossible, if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have not been able to adapt to the climate of the plateau, then no matter how long it takes, when fighting against Tubo, the army of the Tang Dynasty will always suffer."
"What can Jing'er do?" Behind Xuan Shijing, there was an urn and an angry question, and when he turned his head to look, it turned out to be Niu Jinda coming over. (To be continued.) )
