Chapter 111: Calyx Tower!

"Of course it's more than that, you don't know how ruthless this person is. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoA few years ago, a doctor in the court played a copy of him in the court because he was not used to his style of acting. As a result, the Imperial Historian was mysteriously murdered at his home that night. Although everyone knew it, because no evidence was found, coupled with the deliberate maintenance of the royal family, the matter passed like this. However, since then, no one has dared to provoke this blood boy! ā€

After listening to Zhao Long's words, Lu Chen's eyes were even more surprised when he looked at the blood boy, and he secretly said in his heart: What is the identity of this person? Let the royal family protect him! Could it be the illegitimate son of Tang Xuanzong?

And just when Lu Chen was thinking nonsense, he saw this young man walking to the corner of this white jade square, standing there quietly, not even bothering to look at everyone, even more arrogant than this Li Lingfeng beside Lu Chen!

Seeing this, Lu Chen shook his head and sighed secretly in his heart: Could it be that powerful people are so withdrawn? Or is this the loneliness of the so-called masters?

Seeing this blood boy standing quietly in place, the others took their eyes back. Zhao Long said with regret on his face, "Since the blood prince has come to participate in this martial arts fight this time, it seems that we have no hope!" ā€œ

"Even if he doesn't come, you have no hope!" A calm voice came from the side, and the two looked back, but saw that it was Li Lingfeng who spoke.

Hearing this, Zhao Long said angrily, "Don't underestimate people!" Young Master Ben is no longer the same gentleman he used to be! ā€

"Hehe, then let's fight now?" Li Lingfeng sneered and said.

Hearing this, Zhao Long immediately stared at Li Lingfeng vigilantly, and said, "Don't mess around, this is not a place for martial arts competitions, if something happens here, you and I can't afford to be responsible!" ā€

Li Lingfeng shook his head, obviously ignoring Zhao Long's words directly, at this time Li Lingfeng turned his eyes to the blood boy in the corner of the square, and said to himself, "Blood boy, you should be my biggest opponent in this competition, I hope you are as you name me, otherwise, this game will be really boring!" ā€

Obviously, Li Lingfeng didn't even pay attention to Lu Chen, although Lu Chen showed amazing talent in the battle of Minzhou City, but it was only a combat command ability. Therefore, the vast majority of people are not very clear about Lu Chen's personal strength.

At this time, thousands of people had gathered in the entire square, and the wealthy families of Chang'an City, and even some famous businessmen had also followed. is qualified to celebrate Tang Xuanzong's birthday, which is a very proud thing!

Although thousands of people gathered here, the factions were very clear. Lu Chen glanced at these factions roughly. It can be seen that the strongest should be those headed by the crown prince, the third duke, etc., and their faction alone accounts for a quarter of the entire imperial court.

The only one who can be compared here is the second prince Li Heng. Although the other princes have more or less their own forces, they cannot be compared with these two.

These are just the forces between the princes, for example, there are some more complex forces in the court. For example, Taiwei and others not far away are also a force that should not be underestimated in the DPRK and China. Although these people did not choose which prince to support, no one dared to offend them. Because once these people choose which prince to support, the situation in the imperial court will change dramatically. Therefore, several princes are now trying to win over these neutral ministers.

Compared to these people, the forces of several military forces on Lu Chen's side are a little weak, after all, there are only a few generals stationed in Chang'an City, and most of the generals are sitting outside the frontier or expanding their territory.

Just as Lu Chen was observing these forces around him, he heard a sharp male duck voice suddenly coming from in the distance, "Today, Your Majesty's birthday, I specially invite you to a banquet in the Calyx Building to thank the civil and military officials for their contributions to the Tang Dynasty!" ā€

Although this is not a holy decree, but after all, it is Tang Xuanzong's edict, and everyone still respectfully saluted this male duck father-in-law, and said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty, we will do our best for the Tang Dynasty!" ā€

"Then it's time for you to go to Calyx Tower!" As soon as the father-in-law finished speaking, he led the way in front and walked into the distance. In fact, even if you don't use this father-in-law to lead the way, it is impossible for anyone to get lost, with the reputation of Calyx Tower, as long as you are from Chang'an, you may have heard of it.

Calyx Tower, which was built by Tang Xuanzong more than ten years ago, although Lu Chen has never been there, it does not hinder Lu Chen's understanding of this building. And the reason for the establishment of this pavilion is also a story of love between Tang Xuanzong and his brother.

At that time, Li Longji, that is, the current Tang Xuanzong, was not the eldest son, and there was a brother named Li Xian on it. However, in his old age, their father was thinking about passing on the throne to Li Longji, after all, compared with his brother Li Xian, Li Longji was more talented and suitable for the throne.

However, according to the imperial succession system at that time, the successor should be Li Xian, not Li Longji.

Just when Tang Ruizong was hesitating, Li Xian understood the righteousness and reason, and decisively asked Tang Ruizong to resign, voluntarily giving up the succession to the throne, Tang Ruizong also persuaded several times, but Li Xian's heart to resign was very firm. Therefore, Li Longji inherited the throne logically.

After Li Longji ascended the throne, he was grateful for Li Xian's righteous deeds in that year, and built this famous calyx tower for him in Xingqing Palace. Usually the two brothers would eat together, drink or play chess for fun.

As soon as this calyx tower was completed, it was immediately called "the world's five famous buildings" with Tengwang Pavilion, Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower and Stork Tower, and it was because Tang Xuanzong held various activities here all the year round, enjoying the reputation of "the world's first building"!

After flashing all kinds of things about this Calyx Tower in his mind, Lu Chen also had a little interest in this famous Calyx Tower.

Each family did not bring their own convoys, after all, the Calyx House could not fit so many people. All the civil and military officials walked towards Xingqing Palace on foot, fortunately, the White Jade Square was not far from Xingqing Palace, otherwise an old Wenchen like Taifu would probably be a little unbearable.

When they turned a street, Lu Chen saw the vermilion pavilion in the distance at a glance. Probably because Tang Xuanzong wanted to entertain hundreds of officials today, the decoration around the pavilion was very luxurious, and even the walls were full of all kinds of lanterns.

The floor was covered with a blue carpet, and the carpet was painted with landscapes, birds, and beasts. However, when Lu Chen looked up at the civil and military officials around him, he found that no one paid attention to these things at all, and he was the only one who stayed here to enjoy these landscape paintings.

Seeing this, Lu Chen could only sigh in his heart: Why don't these people know how to appreciate art?
