Chapter Ninety-Seven: General Huwei
The carriage turned around the Suzaku Gate and drove along the spacious Yujie Avenue until it reached the northernmost point of the street, the Jinshui River, where you saw the Fan Tower towering in the brilliant lights.
Fan Lou was built in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, has a history of nearly 200 years, and is the first of the 72 most luxurious restaurants in Bianliang, Tokyo during the reign of Emperor Huizong.
Most of the restaurants in Bianliang there are two-storey buildings, and Dudufan Tower is composed of five buildings in the east, west, south, north and middle, each of which is three floors high, which is a high-rise building in that period.
Ascend the Fan Tower, you can see the Royal Street and the Dragon Pavilion Garden below, and you can also overlook the beautiful landscape of the Qingming Shanghe Garden.
It is said that Liu Yong's popular butterfly love flower in the Renzong period was written in Fan Lou:
Leaning on the dangerous building, the wind is fine. Looking forward to the extreme spring sorrow, gloomy sky. In the afterglow of grass-colored smoke. Speechless, who will rely on will.
I plan to get drunk with a crazy picture. When it comes to wine, strong music is still tasteless. The belt gradually widened, and I never regretted it. For the sake of Iraq, the people are haggard.
Because today is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, people are still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, hundreds of various kinds of flashing and charming lights are placed on the bricks on the roof of the building, and the Fan Lou at this time is decorated like a palace in the sky, and it is like a mirage in the choppy sea.
At night, it is also the most lively time period of Fanlou, and only at this time the quaint historical style of Fanlou and the charming shadow under the night, everything makes people forget to return.
There is always a lot of emotion in the night, and when you raise a glass of joy, there may be sadness in your heart. When you look at the night sky, you don't necessarily think about tomorrow. When you look into the distance, there is not only the beauty in the memory, but also the sigh of the passage of time.
The three southeastern and northeastern buildings of the Fan Building are places for ordinary wealthy businessmen to gather, and the middle building is limited to the places where dignitaries and nobles can enter and exit, and it is a happy town.
The highest building, the West Building, is not allowed to be stepped into by anyone. There is only one guest who can enter and exit there, and this guest is the most bullish person in the world, and the most bullish guest is surnamed Zhao Mingji, that is, Emperor Huizong, who is the Son of Heaven.
The carriage in which Luda and Master Li were riding stopped in the courtyard surrounded by high-rise buildings on all sides, and Master Li took Ruda's hand. Jumped out of the carriage and walked into the courtyard.
Although it is not yet the first month of the new year, and it has just begun spring, there are bonsai with red flowers and green leaves in the courtyard of Fanlou. The golden spring flowers are blooming on the branches, and the green leaves are also flashing with natural style, as if nodding to people, spring is coming, spring is coming!
The low plum blossoms sprouted pink stamens on the branches. seems to be smiling and ashamed, just like the girl who is pregnant with spring.
Master Li pulled Luda, took small steps in the bonsai of various colors, and walked around the trees like a happy little bird running towards the west building.
Although Luda has been in the capital for half a year, he has never been to Fanlou, let alone knows the attention of the east, west, north, south, and middle buildings, but he is dizzying and follows Master Li.
The West Building is the main building of the Fan Tower, and it is the largest of the five floors. Carved beams and painted buildings, simple and elegant. It can really be described as a carved fence and jade, shaped like heaven.
Master Li held the skirt in his left hand, and pulled Luda with his right hand step by step to the third floor, if there is only one room on the big floor, and when he pushed the room, he was faced with eight jasper screens, carved on them
The image of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Going around the screen is a round table that is also jasper, and the cups and pots on the table are all jasper, and even the four stools next to the table are jasper of several colors.
On the wall facing the table hangs an ink painting of a peacock climbing a branch, with banners on each side.
The banner on the right reads: Spring breeze is proud; The banner on the left reads: Heaven and Earth. On the painting and on the banner are printed with the seal of the Wei tablet: Hui Miao Dao Monarch Sect Master.
After Master Li pulled Luda to sit down, he gently stretched out his hand under the table and pressed it gently. After a while, a dignified-looking girl walked in with a tray with four delicate side dishes on it, and lightly placed the plate on the table, and then said a deep blessing and withdrew.
Master Li picked up the jade pot on the table and poured the jade cup into the hotel, and the room was immediately filled with an intoxicating aroma of wine.
Ruda looked into the cup, and the wine poured into the jade cup turned out to be a faint cyan color, a kind that he had never drunk before.
Master Li stretched out his slender finger and nodded at the wine glass and said, "Brother Lu, this is our hometown Guanxi specialty, indeed Bamboo Leaf Green Wine, which is a new type of wine brewed this year." Come and have a toast, I wish the eldest brother a victory, and defeat the wild donkey of the Liao State who covets our Great Song Dynasty land in one fell swoop. β
This banquet of only two people was drunk until the rooster crowed.
Looking up at the window, the night has long since faded, and the beautiful morning light seems to tell people,
I hope everyone can see a more beautiful scenery after turning around!
Luda returned to his residence, washed up, found a clean set of clothes to change into, and walked to the Kaifeng Mansion on the residual snow on the ground.
As soon as Luda turned the corner, he saw his top boss Kaifeng Mansion Soldiers and Horses Prison Station looking around, and when he saw Luda coming, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said: "Lu Yuhou, you are here, you are about to kill me." β
Luda said: "I don't know if Lord Metropolitan Prison has any important arrangements for Luda in a hurry early in the morning." β
Lord Soldier and Horse Eunuch laughed dryly and said: "Hehe, Lu Yuhou, you really know how to joke, I dare to arrange something for you, it was Long Live that the old man summoned you to enter the palace immediately." Go, go. β
Luda said: "Then please go with the Metropolitan Eunuch!" β
The eunuch said: "I'm such a small prefect of Kaifeng, I can have the qualifications to enter the palace and face the king, you better go by yourself." β
Luda said: "My lord, I will go by myself, can the soldiers guarding the Jinluan Hall let me in." β
The Metropolitan Eunuch said: "Don't worry, yesterday's chief commander, General Long Wei, was waiting for you at the gate of the palace." β
Luda said: "Okay, then I'll rush over immediately." β
Lord Metropolitan Eunuch said to Lu Da: "Lu Yuhou, when you come to Banzai, you have to speak more good words for your own officials." β
Luda nodded to Lord Metropolitan Supervisor and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I won't let you down." β
The Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion and the inner city of the palace are only three streets away, and Lu Da only used a pillar of incense to get there, and far away from the palace gate, he saw Qiu Xiang, the commander of the forbidden army's horse army, the general of Longwei, greeted him, and asked: "Lu Yuhou, why did you run away yesterday, causing me to be scolded by the emperor." β
Ruda said: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." I was in a hurry yesterday to run. β
Qiu Xiang laughed and said, "You are in a hurry, and you really know how to find time." Let's go, let's go, I'll have to be scolded if I'm late. β
I heard a shout from the Jinluan Palace: "Spread the Longwei General Qiu Xiang, and wait for Luda to enter the hall." β
Luda followed the Longwei general Qiu Xiang into the Jinluan Palace,
Luda originally thought that the Jinluan Hall should be splendid, but he knew that it was like this at first glance.
The so-called Jinluan Hall is just a very spacious hall, on the north side of the hall is a Taishi chair covered with yellow satin, on the top of the Taishi chair sits a slender tall man, with a long melon face, thick eyebrows and thin eyes, and wearing a large and wide robe embroidered with yellow satin of the dragon with teeth and claws. Looking further on both sides, there are no less than 200 civil and military officials lined up, with civil officials on the left and military attachΓ©s on the right, with a red carpet in the middle.
At this time, I heard someone shouting in a shrill voice: "Qiu Xiang and Luda stepped forward to listen to the order." β
Qiu Xiang hurriedly pulled Ruda forward two steps, knelt on the red carpet and said, "Qiu Xiang and Luda are here to listen to the order." β
Luda knelt down on the carpet, and then heard Huizong sitting on the dragon chair say, "Luda raised his head. β
Ruda raised his head and knelt straight there,
Huizong took a look, He! A burly strong man, kneeling there like an iron tower, just like King Kong.
Emperor Huizong exclaimed: "Good, good, good!" Sure enough, the image of a hero is worthy of beating the wild donkey from Liao to run back to his hometown. Ha ha! I will reward him more. β
Luda said: "Long live, the villain just wants to fight for our Great Song Kingdom, and he doesn't need any reward." β
Huizong said: "Good Luda, don't you reward it for your high wind and bright festival, but I must make the rewards and punishments clear, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the people in the world." Tell me what kind of reward you want. β
Luda said: "How dare the villain be arrogant, everything depends on long live." β
Emperor Huizong nodded again and again: "Okay, Luda listens to the seal!" β
Luda said: "The villain is here. β
Emperor Huizong said: "I have appointed you as the commander of the infantry of the Zhengwupin Forbidden Army, and the general Huwei." and a thousand taels of gold. β
Luda said: "Long live Longen." β
Emperor Huizong waved his hand and said, "Flat." β
Then Emperor Huizong said to Qiu Xiang again: "General Longwei Qiu Xiang listens to the order!" β
Qiu Xiang hurriedly said: "Weichen takes the order!" β
Emperor Huizong said: "I ordered you to go to the Jinshui River to choose a good site, build a general's mansion for Luda, and complete it one day." β
Qiu Xiang said: "The minister's order! β
He, at this moment, all the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace were stunned, and some upright officials secretly cheered for Luda. Yes, if such a person is not rewarded, then who else will be rewarded, if there is no Luda, our Great Song Kingdom will lose the old man, and this person will be lost to foreign countries.
There are people who are not convinced, and secretly said in their hearts, this year may be to worship the Buddha and worship diligently, the auspicious stars are shining, and the **** luck is gone, why didn't such a good thing let my son or grandson stand up, and let my son-in-law stand it no matter how bad it is, and I will be a cow B shining old Taishan.
Haha, such a person doesn't want to think about it, did that Tarzan come up with it!
Just when everyone was thinking wildly, they heard the eunuch shouting: "There is a ministry book, and there is nothing to do." β
Luda walked out of the Jinluan Hall and looked up at the sky, and then patted his head again,
Depend on! I Ruda never dreamed that I would be able to come to this Jinluan Palace and walk back, and I didn't expect to get a Huwei general, hehe, just be it, let's be a man from Kansai and taste what it is like to be a general.
It really feels like a world away. (To be continued.) )
