Chapter 686: Sick Retirement

With three glasses of sake, the atmosphere of the scene became even more enthusiastic. The content of the www.biquge.info Chang'an sake is not low, and it is much stronger than the turbid sake that the people on the market often drink. Chang'an people say: Turbid wine on the face, sake on the head, this is the truth.

The banquet officially opened, located on the platform of the outer fence of the Agarwood Pavilion is also brightly lit, in the sound of silk and bamboo, dozens of dancing girls dance around the pavilion, the fairy music is fluttering, the dancing posture is graceful, it is really beautiful. Singing and dancing is the standard configuration of major banquets in Chang'an, and the officials are not used to seeing it and do not have much appreciation, and their minds are on the way to use this banquet to pull relations and talk about cooperation. For them, the birthday of the concubine is important, but the most important thing is to be able to make more friends and establish more ties of interest at the banquet.

In the Agarwood Pavilion, Xuanzong frequently raised his glass to drink with the ministers, and the laughter was endless. It can be seen that his happiness is from the bottom of his heart. In the midst of laughter, suddenly Li Linfu, who was sitting on the top of his right, suddenly coughed violently, and the servant next to him hurriedly patted his back and bandowed his chest.

Xuanzong held the wine glass and asked, "What's wrong with Xiangguo?" Are you feeling unwell? ”

Li Linfu coughed and waved his hand: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the old minister is an old problem, so you might as well do it." ”

Gao Lishi approached Li Linfu's side, looked at Li Linfu's face, and asked the servant next to him, "Is your family husband sick?" ”

One of the servants said, "Isn't it? When I came, I couldn't breathe, and I was terrible. We all advised him not to come, but he didn't listen and struggled to come. I drank a few glasses just now, and now it's getting worse again. I can't breathe. ”

Li Linfu waved his hand and panted: "Hit the mouth...... I want you to talk a lot! Mother's birthday...... I'm going to crawl and I'm going to crawl. ”

Gao Lishi's white brows furrowed, and he hurriedly returned to Xuanzong's side and reported the matter in a low voice. Xuanzong said: "So serious? ”

Yang Guifei frowned and said: "Then it's better to ask him to leave the table and go back to his house to recuperate, hey, I knew that I would order someone not to let him come, doesn't this aggravate his condition?" ”

Xuanzong nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, what Concubine Ai said is right, hurry up and let him go home to recuperate." ”

Gao Lishi nodded and went to Li Linfu's side to convey the will of Xuanzong and the noble concubine. Li Linfu panted and thanked him, and the two servants helped him to the chair and carried him away. Everyone talked about it, and they all expressed their concern after learning about the situation. However, Li Linfu is an old problem, he has often been sick in recent years, but there is nothing to worry about, just go back to recuperate, it should be fine.

Not long after Li Linfu left, Li Heng got up and raised his wine glass to toast to the concubine and His Majesty, after drinking, Li Heng stood still, Xuanzong frowned and asked, "Why didn't Heng'er return to the table?" Anything to say? ”

Li Heng said: "Father Emperor Shengming, the son does have something to say. Just now, Li Xiangguo suddenly fell ill and left, and he was extremely painful. Erchen felt that his father should send the imperial doctor to his mansion to take a look. Although he was stubbornly ill, he could also feel at ease by the grace of his father, which was beneficial to his condition. ”

Xuanzong was stunned, then nodded with a smile: "What my son said is yes, or you are thoughtful, I should send the imperial doctor to take a look, to show my concern." Although I know that these imperial doctors are incompetent and can't see immediate results, it is also my heart, which makes Xiangguo feel more at ease. By the way, this imperial doctor was sent in the name of Ai Fei, Xiang Guo struggled to come for Ai Fei's birthday banquet, if it was my birthday, I am afraid that he would have handed over his leave a long time ago. Hehe, he doesn't give me face. Aifei, what do you say? ”

Yang Guifei was drunk, waved her hand and said, "San Lang is in charge." ”

Xuanzong turned his head to Li Heng and said, "I know, you can return to the table, I will send an imperial doctor to take a look, and spread the meaning of love to the concubine and me." ”

Li Heng bowed and said, "Father Emperor Shengming, the son of the minister retires." ”

Li Heng turned around and sat down in his place, Xuanzong smiled and said to Gao Lishi beside him: "Heng'er is still good, there are many disputes between him and Li Xiangguo, and the outside world says that he is not in harmony. Look, aren't you still concerned about Xiangguo? This is what the prince looks like. ”

Gao Lishi bowed down and smiled: "Of course, the prince still loves his subordinates." ”

No one noticed this little episode, let alone that not long after Li Heng returned to his seat, Li Fuguo, who was standing behind him, withdrew from the Agarwood Pavilion like a ghost.

The banquet was going on enthusiastically, and soon Xuanzong was also a little drunk, so he got up with a smile, pointed to An Lushan and said: "Lushan, today's Niangniang's birthday, don't you come to perform something to help me and Niangniang?" ”

An Lushan gnawed on a big leg of mutton, his mouth was full of oil, and when he heard this, he put down the leg of mutton, wiped his big hand full of oil on his body, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty wants to see what the minister plays?" ”

Xuanzong smiled: "Why don't you dance a Hu Xuan dance that you are good at?" ”

An Lushan said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you are a strong man's difficulty. You don't want to see what kind of fat the minister has become now. Can the courtier's body still dance the whirlwind dance? It's almost as good as jumping a turtle to crawl. ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Xuanzong also laughed: "Other than that, I don't know what you will do." ”

An Lushan said: "The minister originally wanted to show His Majesty and Niangniang the sword dance, but this kind of occasion is not suitable. The minister wanted to sing a song to His Majesty, but he was afraid that His Majesty and Niangniang would lose their appetite. If you want to dance, you can't dance, if you want to compose poetry, tonight here are all my Tang Dynasty talents, so I won't be ugly. The minister thought about it, and he could only give His Majesty a trick he played when he was a child, and he should have the right to cheer His Majesty. ”

Xuanzong smiled: "You are self-aware, what trick are you going to play?" ”

An Lushan stretched out his hand and took out a leaf from his bosom and said: "This is a blade of grass that the minister picked in the garden. Over time, some tricks have come out, and now the minister blows it to His Majesty and Niangniang. I haven't done it for so many years, and I don't know if I can still blow it? ”

Xuanzong said interestingly: "Give it a try." ”

An Lushan stretched out his sleeve and touched his oily mouth and beard, and put the blade of grass across his mouth. Everyone listened silently, but heard a crisp birdsong, and the sound was vivid. A waiter thought it was a bird in a birdcage under the porch, but he looked out, but found that the bird was standing in a daze, and there was no call at all. After being stunned, he realized that it was General An who blew the sound with blades of grass.

The sound of birdsong was followed by the sound of flowing water, the sound of the wind, the rustle of leaves, and finally the howl of a steppe wolf. More than a dozen voices change each other, and it is very lively. Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect An Lushan to have this set of ventriloquist skills. In the end, the leaves in An Lushan's mouth actually made the sound of a bird talking: I wish Your Majesty the noble concubine a good life and never grow old!

An Lushan took out the blades of grass, Xuanzong nodded and stroked his palms, and the officials were also thunderous. Half of them think it's really good, and the other half think it's a small skill of carving insects, but they also spare no effort to applaud and praise for the occasion. In fact, there are many people who have this kind of ventriloquist ability, and An Lushan's thing is actually not a unique skill, but Xuanzong has been in the palace for a long time and has not been exposed to these.

"It's good, it's coarse and fine, and you can still make this famous." Xuanzong praised.

An Lushan smiled and said, "His Majesty Bo and Niangniang just smiled." ”

Yang Guifei also smiled, but she didn't feel that there was anything to praise, it was just a polite response to An Lushan's deliberate welcome. An Lushan began, and tonight's show also began to appear. Many celebrities in Chang'an City have been summoned to the palace, and although they do not have a place tonight, they have the right to offer poems. Dozens of poems written for the concubine were presented, all of which were works of the princess, and there was nothing new. It is nothing more than praising the beauty of the concubine, sinking fish and geese, and captivating the country and the city, which is admirable. But such a poem has long been preceded by Li Bai's 'Qingping Tune' Zhuyu, how can it enter the eyes of the concubine. However, a few paintings of the concubine painted by several famous painters in Chang'an made the concubine smile.

Finally, Yang Guifei's eyes fell on Wang Yuan, and she said with a smile in her drunken eyes: "Wang Jiedu, you haven't said a word tonight." On my birthday, don't you write a poem to praise it? With such a beautiful day, how can there be no masterpiece of your king's envoy? Isn't it imperfect? ”

Xuanzong smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot that there is a great talent here." I didn't find any trace of Li Taibai, so I wanted to invite him here tonight. Before Taibai arrived, Wang Yuan, who is very similar to Taibai in style, won't be able to run, write poetry. ”

Wang Yuan got up and arched his hand and said, "Niang Niang Fangchen, how can the minister not be ugly." There are so many jewels in front of me, so I don't write poetry. However, I composed a new song for Niangniang, and I dedicate it to Your Majesty and the noble concubine Niangniang today. ”

Yang Guifei's eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Really? It's good, I haven't heard a new song for a long time, and it's just a feast for my ears. The music you composed must be excellent. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Don't dare to be, as long as you don't pollute your audio-visual." Then the minister will be ugly. ”

The musicians stopped playing, and the singing and dancing stopped. According to Wang Yuan's request, a guqin and a hole flute were placed. Wang Yuan left the table and came to the carpet in the banquet, and said with a smile: "Please also ask Your Majesty and the concubine to allow the inner family to come close and play with me, and ...... It's more appropriate for her to sing this song, but my voice can't do it. ”

Xuanzong and Yang Guifei said in unison: "Quasi! ”
