Chapter 400 09 Mid-Autumn Festival (Part II)

Liu Bing heard Gao Ming say that he would not go to the palace, and immediately knelt in front of Gao Ming with a "poof".

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gracious!"

"Uh......"

Li Shimin sent someone to invite, Gao Ming naturally couldn't go, the reason why he just said not to go, in fact, was just a joke with Liu Bing.

Now seeing that everyone is kneeling down for him, Gao Ming also knows that the joke is too much, so he quickly helped him up.

"Okay, Lao Liu, don't worry, I'm talking to you, come on, eat a piece of watermelon!"

As he spoke, Gao Ming took a piece of cut watermelon from the table and stuffed it into Liu Bing's hand, and then put his arm around his shoulder.

"That old Liu, who did my old man call during the Mid-Autumn Festival this time?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this time His Majesty is holding a banquet in Guanglu Temple, in addition to you, the other princes and princesses, as well as the ministers above the third rank in the court have arrived, the sedan chair has been prepared, Your Highness, let's leave quickly!"

Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming finally understood, it is estimated that Li Shimin waited left and right or did not see his figure, so he asked Liu Bing to pick him up.

Seeing Liu Bing's anxious appearance, Gao Ming had no choice but to nod, and then turned around and shrugged his shoulders towards Su Wan'er and the daughters.

"I was going to celebrate the festival with you, but now the old man calls me, so there's no way, you can play by yourself, I'm leaving!"

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Looking at the women who saluted to him, Gao Ming waved his hand at them, and then went towards Guanglu Temple with Liu Bing.

Guanglu Temple is one of the five temples, it is the place where the royal sacrifice and the emperor set up a banquet to entertain the ministers, and the status is equivalent to the Great Hall of the People or the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in later generations, and it is not a place where ordinary people can go.

Therefore, the people who were invited by Li Shimin to Guanglu Temple came with a proud face, and the four big words "I am very good" were almost written on their faces.

If there is anyone who is not interested in coming, then only Gao Ming.

Isn't it just a meal? Where to eat differently?

Gao Ming has always hated socializing, in his opinion, the Mid-Autumn Festival and his family have just passed, quiet, refreshing, why recruit a lot of people to stir it?

However, Gao Ming also knew that Li Shimin must have his thoughts, and for the sake of not forcing himself to go to the early dynasty, Gao Ming decided to entertain him once.

When Gao Ming and Liu Bing came to Guanglu Temple, the banquet had already begun.

The moon is bright in the sky, the lights in Guanglu Temple are brilliant, and the tables on the left and right sides are lined up like two long snakes, and they are full of fruits and wine.

There was a spacious open space in the middle of the table, where a group of beautiful women in long-sleeved skirts were dancing in fluttering clothes, and the officials sitting behind the table were all talking and laughing, looking very happy.

Seeing Gao Ming come in, many officials immediately stood up and saluted him, and Gao Ming also smiled and saluted them one by one.

As the No. 2 person in Datang, Gao Ming naturally couldn't sit casually, because even if he wanted to, others wouldn't dare to sit in front of him.

Gao Ming also knew this, so he walked straight to the front, bowed to Li Shimin, and sat down in the first position on his right.

Seeing Gao Ming sit down, the eldest grandson Wuji on the side immediately stood up with a smile on his face, and then bowed to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't you let your colleagues write a poem with the title of 'Looking at the Moon'?"

Banquet poems, this is not a rare thing in the Tang Dynasty, and it can even be said to be the norm, so after hearing the proposal of the eldest grandson Wuji, many ministers nodded one after another, saying that this proposal is very good, and many people have begun to frown and ponder, planning to think of a good poem to show off.

At this time, Gao Ming's heart also blossomed.

"Writing poems on the theme of Mochizuki? It's too simple, okay? I came directly to the sentence 'When is the bright moon, ask the wine to Qingtian', I must have shocked this group of Datang's soil buns, wahahaha, this is so cool! ”

Thinking of this, Gao Ming's eyebrows suddenly danced.

And after Li Shimin heard the proposal of the eldest grandson Wuji, he was already ready to agree, but as soon as he saw Gao Ming's excited face, Gao Ming's sentence "The cannon opened up and bombarded his mother" inexplicably appeared in his heart......

So he immediately changed his mind for fear of losing face.

"Ahem...... Today, everyone just drink happily, compose poems or forget it, come, I drink with all of you! ”

After speaking, Li Shimin raised his wine glass, and when he saw this scene, everyone present stood up, and then raised his wine glass with both hands and drank in unison.

"Xie Shengshang, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

With Li Shimin taking the lead, the scene suddenly became lively, everyone drank together, laughed, ate fruits, watched beautiful women dance, and the scene was very happy.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Shimin was also a little drunk, he immediately stood up, and then waved his hand to the palace maids who were dancing.

"Stand down, all of you!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the palace maids who were dancing hurriedly saluted him, and then they all retreated.

Seeing this scene, the ministers showed puzzlement, they really couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Li Shimin's gourd.

Looking at the puzzled looks of the ministers, Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a song, and I am willing to enjoy it with all of you!"

After speaking, Li Shimin began to sing.

"There is a kind of sea spirit in my life, the years are ruthlessly turned over page by page, and the moment I leave the universe in my heart, I am already destined to be unwilling to be lonely......"

Li Shimin's voice is thick and low, and he sings with a sense of heaviness, and as a man standing at the top of the power of the Tang Dynasty, as soon as he speaks, his confidence and courage are sung by him through singing, which is very shocking.

This can be seen from the stunned faces of the ministers present.

From the time Li Shimin sang the first sentence, there was no other sound in the entire banquet, only Li Shimin's singing echoed around.

“…… It's not easy for a big man to do, he is still persistent in the risk, and his children are hidden in his heart, let it be bumpy along the way......"

After singing the song "Big Man", Li Shimin looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, with no sadness or joy on his face.

Seeing this scene, all the ministers stood up and rushed to bow to Li Shimin.

"Today, I have to hear the last song of the saint, although I have no regrets in death!"

"Chaowen said, Xi Ke can die!"

"Holy true temperament, please accept the worship of Weichen!"

Looking at the ministers who were scrambling to pat on the back, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth suddenly twitched several times.

"Damn, is "Big Man" Lao Tzu's song? Isn't piracy illegal these days? ”

However, Gao Ming didn't dare to say this to Li Shimin, so he could only comfort himself in his heart.

"It's okay, isn't it just a song? Lao Tzu still has a lot of songs in his head! ”

As soon as Gao Ming thought of this, Li Shimin's voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Gao Ming, I heard that you know a lot about rhyme, why don't you also have a song?"

"Uh......"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand Li Shimin's intentions, but when he saw Li Shimin's smiling face, he was immediately angry.

Damn, you dare to provoke me with my song, the tiger doesn't threaten you and treat me as a ragdoll cat?

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately stood up, and then looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees with his hands behind his back, with no sadness or joy on his face.

"In that case, I'll have a song "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years"!"

Li Shimin: "......"

Ministers: "......"
