The damn bell kept ringing, Chu Ze was a little irritated by the noise, and he was about to cover his ears, but the bell suddenly froze, and a bell rang.

"What is this for? Announce? What about the hosts? Chu Ze was also happy at this time, he suddenly felt that this set was especially like the process of holding a party in later generations, and he was about to stretch out his head to take a look, but he was glared back by the Great Demon King Cheng who suddenly came from not far away, and hurriedly sat upright, not squinting......

Qi Tian bell rang leisurely, accompanied by the curling bell, host, ......ahh His Majesty Li Er appeared.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to suddenly stop at this time, and the sound that was still buzzing just now disappeared in an instant, and everyone was looking up at the helmsman of the Tang Dynasty, either with reverence or envy.

His Majesty Li Er's dress today is different from the past, the bright yellow dragon robe with gold embroidered golden dragon teeth and claws, far from being comparable to the props and costumes of the crew in later generations, the high crown of heaven on the top of the head hangs down twelve rows of bead curtains, hanging on the bridge of the nose, swaying with the footsteps of His Majesty Li Er, making people unable to see the eyes inside.

As he spoke, His Majesty Li Er was already sitting on the dragon chair, and the princes and princesses who walked in with him sat down at the bottom of the dragon chair and the nearest table.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at the people in the audience, and said, "All the secretaries, please drink this cup, today all the secretaries gather here in me to wish me the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the sun and the moon shine, and the golden ou will be forever!" ”

All the ministers in the hall stood up with their wine glasses and shouted, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

"I wish my father a long life!"

"Weichen, I wish the saint a long life, and the Tang Dynasty will never change!"

Accompanied by the prince and princess, the minister shouted this sentence, and the new year of the Tang Dynasty kicked off.

Speaking of which, in fact, there is nothing new in this dinner, except for the solemn mountain call at the beginning, the others are exactly the same as the usual banquets.

Chu Ze is now only entangled in this party, which is equivalent to the highest state banquet level in this era, and the dishes arranged are so unpalatable!

A white boiled chicken, a piece of roasted half-cooked mutton, and a few green vegetables are fresh, but why don't you put some oil and fry it? What's the matter with boiling water and then sprinkling salt? Three more dishes? Oh, this bowl of porridge is also a dish......

Your uncle, who is this fooling!

Chu Zeqiang couldn't bear to put this bowl of porridge on the head of the eunuch who passed the vegetables, and looked around, but found that everyone's dishes here were exactly the same, if there was a difference, it would be a few more fruits in front of His Majesty Li Er.

After all the dishes were served, they could not start immediately, and His Majesty Li Er led the ministers to conduct a very formal and serious pre-dinner sacrifice.

There are sacrificial words before the meal, and everyone has to recite them, probably praying for the blessings of the ancestors, blessings and many sons, and so on.

After the pre-dinner festival is over, the feast is officially begins.

His Majesty Li Er picked up the chopsticks in front of him, picked up a little chicken and put it in his mouth, and after two or three sips of it were eliminated, he took another sip of wine, then put down the wine glass and chopsticks, and said to the Tang ministers in front of him: "I am full." ”

No one in the hall looked surprised.

Fang Xuanling stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is the king of the ministers, if Your Majesty doesn't eat, how dare the ministers eat?" Your Majesty is also invited to eat. ”

The ministers stood up and saluted: "Please eat, Your Majesty!" ”

His Majesty Li Er stood up, smiled slightly, and said, "I also invite you to eat."

Only then did everyone sit down and start one after another.

Chu Ze stiffly followed everyone in the hall to do a complete set of standard etiquette together, and kept complaining in his heart, "Damn, it takes so much superficial effort to eat, this ancient etiquette is really troublesome." ”

After the etiquette was completed and he sat down, looking at the food in front of him, Chu Ze sighed deeply, "Hey, when the memories are bitter and sweet...... he laboriously tore off a pair of chicken wings, and stuffed them into his mouth without a mouthful.

Cheng Chuliang saw it on the side, and taking advantage of the chaos around, he couldn't help but push Chu Ze with a smile: "It's not delicious, right?" Bear with it, hehe... When the banquet is over, let's go rub it again."

Just poured a glass of wine, before it could be sent to the entrance, a large group of musicians came in from the side hall, holding the pipa and Shi Shiran came to the empty space in the center of the main hall.

Immediately behind them, dozens of male and female dancers, dressed in colorful clothes, floated in.

"What is this for? The opening dance of the Spring Festival Gala? Chu Ze whispered, and then began to stretch his neck.

Cheng Chuliang also stretched his neck to look forward, and a chicken bone was exposed in his mouth.

Among the musicians, the first person bowed down to His Majesty Li Er, who was high above, until His Majesty Li Er nodded, and this person returned to the team, stroked the guqin in his hand, and the sonorous sound suddenly resounded through the hall! The rest of the hall soon vanished without a trace.

"Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty! Congratulations to the saints! King Qin breaks the array, get up! ”

With a deep sound, the drum sounded like a heaven-shattering sound in the main hall!

The male and female dancers in the field are scattered left and right, according to the left circle and the right side, first deviation, then Wu, Yuli, Goose Guan, Kei Zhang, and Yishu, arranging, staggering and stretching, head and tail back and forth, stabbing back and forth, like the shape of a battle array.

The dance changes three times, each becomes four formations, counting twelve formations, which contrasts with the song festival, which is moving, and people can't help but want to follow the dance!

The sound of the drums was breathtaking, and the crisp sound of the piano was supplemented by the surging dancing, which suddenly pushed the atmosphere of this dance music to the top, and the dancers in the middle of the hall became more intense!

The people in the hall were fascinated by it, and many people began to clap their hands and join the beat, and even some of them had already jumped up and swayed and danced!

After King Qin's breaking array music ended, acrobatics began to be performed in the middle of the hall, and Chu Ze watched this different Spring Festival Gala of the Tang Dynasty with great interest. A glass of wine with a chicken leg is a pleasant experience.

The first acrobatic performance was flower bed. One by one, the dancers in colorful clothes take turns carrying the colored porcelain flower beds of different sizes on their heads, and one passes to the other or throws, kicks, arms and rolls, and in the back, they simply hold a large vat or wine porcelain. The end of the performance drew a kind of applause from everyone.

The most wonderful performance of the night was the ventriloquist, Chu Ze admired it, he had seen so many dramas and miscellaneous stories in later generations, and he had never seen such a ventriloquist stunt.

I saw an old man standing in the center of the hall, with nothing in his hands. The first sound, like a whistle in the mountains, has a melodious rhyme. It is like a crane singing in the sky, and the sound is through the sky. Shaoqing, like wind and rain thundering, like thousands of troops and horses, galloping forward, and like two armies fighting, swords striking each other, suddenly the wind howled, the house trees rose from the ground, and the angry sea was raging. The sound of flutes, the wind, the cranes, the swords, or the galloping of thousands of horses all seem to have their own forms, which can create an atmosphere that can be felt.

When the performance was performed, everyone was amazed again and again, and when it was over, His Majesty Li Er was even more long-faced and happy, and he also specially rewarded a hundred taels of gold.
