Chapter 165: Preparations Before the Birthday Banquet (First Order!!) )

The fifth day of the eighth month.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was sixty-eight years old, and all countries came to congratulate him.

At the beginning of the month, envoys from various countries, foreign officials and generals, princes and nobles have gathered in the capital, and the scale of this birthday banquet is undoubtedly unprecedented.

Mainly because the old emperor personally spoke this time, in the past, Li San would not let foreign officials gather in the capital, but in recent years, perhaps because he felt that there were not many years to live, he put on a banquet, and he was extremely poor and luxurious, and the feudal town would also send some generals to congratulate, so that this year's birthday banquet reached its peak, and those who could come basically came.

Let's use a few lenses to focus on today's Chang'an City.

Scene 1: The Imperial Palace.

In the morning, the palace was already busy, the eunuchs and palace ladies began to set up venues, the birthday banquet was held in the evening, and the palace secretary in the pear orchard had already begun to rehearse the program early in the morning, especially Xie Aman, who took a piece of paper and began to sing after practicing his voice.

The song is "Water Tune Song Head" written by Xu Chen, Yang Yuhuan was idle at this time, so he also went to the pear orchard to find Xie Aman to study the singing of this song, and roughly made some changes, singing such a song in such a grand venue is still very bold, and it is also because Yang Yuhuan likes it very much, and he sang this song with Xie Aman, and she will bear the consequences.

Of course, there will be no consequences, and Xie Aman will not worry at all, this song can already be taken out with his own modifications, the key is that this sentence is too beautifully written. After that, the two rehearsed the dance that was only rushed out yesterday, and with this song, Xie Aman was very confident that he could shock the government and the opposition at the birthday banquet.

Some of the birthday gifts have been sent to the palace, and they are also some of the most old-fashioned things, money. But Li San was very happy, he had squandered a lot of money over the years, and countless palaces had been built, and the construction cost of Huaqing Pond alone had cost nearly a quarter of the national treasury.

If there are any rare treasures in your hands, you will naturally have to wait until the birthday banquet to give them to the old emperor in person, which can make the emperor remember you......

Scene 2: An Lushan Mansion.

An Lushan has been sullen since he came back from the palace the day before yesterday, and his youngest son An Qingze did not dare to come forward to speak, it is rare to see An Lushan in such a state, An Qingze naturally did not dare to touch his father's scales, just stood in front of him and did not speak, waiting for An Lushan's orders.

This son was born too stupid, but An Lushan liked him very much, this time he brought him to the capital mainly for Qingze's marriage, and more importantly, he expressed his heartfelt heart to Emperor Li Sanlao, leaving his son in the capital can relieve the pressure caused by Yang Guozhong's provocation, and when everything is settled, he will get An Qingze back.

The reason why An Lushan is unhappy is because of the relationship between Xu and Ma. The day before yesterday in the palace, An Lushan was very angry, on the one hand, because the concubine didn't save face for him, as a feudal official, the envoy of the tripartite festival was laughed at by a small concubine, and his heart was really panicked, but Yang Yuhuan and the old emperor were very fond of him, and he obviously became a supporting role.

The old emperor has been so good to him over the years, so good that he can't wait to wear a pair of pants, this is also the capital he is proud of, with the support of the biggest person in the world, he feels very honored, Yang Guozhong can't compare to him even if he is in power, so An Lushan and Yang Guozhong openly argued.

But he hates Yang Guozhong very much, and he used to tease Prime Minister Yang in front of the old emperor, Yang Yuhuan always came forward to reconcile, he felt that he was the biggest celebrity around the emperor, and his status was also worthy.

Just being teased by this little colt, I feel very embarrassed, this is a psychological problem, seeing others doing what they have done is extremely repulsive and disgusting in my heart, of course, as a veteran of officialdom, An Lushan will not care too much, but the information reflected by this question makes him tremble a little.

The status of this little colt is undoubtedly as Zhongtian, and he also sees the favor of the old emperor and Yang Yuhuan, and this colt is openly at odds with Yang Guozhong, and he doesn't put himself in his eyes at all, if he offends him, if he soars and reaches the height of Yang Guozhong, will he also make a small report in front of the emperor like Yang Guozhong?

I'm afraid that this colt is a black-bellied character, like Li Linfu, he has won the trust of the old emperor and does whatever he wants, Yang Guozhong said that the emperor doesn't trust him very much, especially when he says that he has a heart of disobedience, and the old emperor laughs at it, but if this colt is trusted by the emperor and frames himself, will the old emperor believe it?

An Lushan is a thoughtful person, and his current status has to consider all possible factors, after all, he is away all the year round, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the main reason why he has a very stiff quarrel with Yang Guozhong is to prevent the small report from playing a role.

At present, An Lushan is indeed building fortresses, building weapons, and emptying up his strength, but the time is not yet ripe, and he doesn't want to cause some trouble at this juncture.

After thinking about it for a while, An Lushan shook his head and smiled bitterly, only sighing that he was too careful, after all, this colt was just a hairy boy, obviously he took him too seriously, but he was afraid that this colt would be used as a member of the prince's faction, which was just a worry.

An Lushan's power has been too strong over the years, so he has some other thoughts, this mind is to lose his head, so he is so sensitive, but he also thinks about it, there is no big deal, it would be good not to have a conflict with the little colt in front of him, if he can show favor to him, it is naturally the best......

Scene 3: Yang's Mansion.

Yang Guozhong already has a great opinion of Xu Yuma, firstly, this kid is too famous, and secondly, he has offended the Yang family.

After all, Yang Tingquan's matter is a young man's consideration, Yang Guozhong doesn't care much about it, and Yang Cai's usury is closed, which undoubtedly annoys Yang Guozhong.

The loan shark has been the dominant family in the capital over the years, and Yang Guozhong has been working in the dark, and this thing comes too quickly, so he vigorously supports Yang Cai to manage it, and protects him everywhere, which brings the business of the whole capital to the Yang family.

Yang Guozhong now needs money to develop his own power, especially in the border towns of Lingnan, if he wants others to work for you, no money is all, this usury has also become a big source of income for the Yang Mansion, Yang Cai's kid actually concealed it when the loan shark was facing such a crisis, and watched the business being robbed by the bank, Yang Guozhong was even more furious. What makes Yang Guozhong most resentful is that usury is obviously the Yang family's industry, but this colt is clearly stealing business.

With a surname like Yang Guozhong, someone wants to challenge his authority, he will never tolerate it, but with the current fame of the concubine, it is really difficult to do something......

Scene 3: The Eldest Princess's Mansion.

There is a distinguished guest in the house today.

It was the old man who was with Wang Wei that Xu Chen met in the restaurant last time.

The old man came to find Tian Yuma, and the two had a conversation in the study, and the person they talked about was Xu Chen.

"Why do you think so sure that the little pony will willingly join the prince's faction?" The old man laughed.

"Do I see people badly? Don't think that this kid only has some strange silver tricks, in his heart, but there is a different world. You know better than I do. Tian Juma motioned for the old man to drink tea and said with a smile.

"I only met him once, Wang Youcheng likes him very much, and this young man has some content when he speaks." The old man remembered what happened in the restaurant, so he asked, "How do you see what this man is capable of?" Writing poetry? Or is it because the emperor Lao'er dotes on him? ”

"Hehe, I've played chess with him a few times, I'm afraid he knows more things than you and me, have you forgotten that he teaches in the East Palace?"

"I've heard about it, what's the matter, how is it taught?"

"You really don't know much about what he taught, and his views on history are quite unique, which is what Li Heng told me. Sooner or later, this boy will understand my good intentions...... "......

The camera switches again, Princess Anyi's mansion.

Li Shuang'er got up early, walked to Xu Chen's room and found that the door had not been opened, it was a little cold in the morning, and she stood at the door and waited for a while.

The main thing is to ask Xu Chen to prepare for tonight's birthday banquet, and more importantly, to ask about the gift.

No matter how wide the heart is, no matter how trusting he is, at this juncture, I still have to remind him, this is a birthday banquet, in case the gift can't be taken out, but it will be a big joke, ask Zi'er about the gift prepared by the horse, Zi'er shook her head and didn't know, this horse is too mysterious, maybe it is forgotten.

The big thing in the big thing, I can't be sloppy, standing at the door is really cold, and there is no one in the yard at the moment, Zi'er doesn't know where to run, hesitated for a while, but I can't bear to be anxious, just say it, so I walked over and knocked on the door.

There was no movement for a long time, and I just wanted to knock again, but before I put my hand on it, the door of the study was opened with a hula.

So the moment Li Shuang'er saw Xu Chen's disheveled clothes, she hurriedly closed her eyes, turned around and said, "You, you, why don't you wear clothes!" ”

I thought it was Zi'er, but I was also very surprised to see Li Shuang'er, but I was a little angry, looked at myself carefully, and said, "Please, I'm wearing clothes." What's the matter with you? ”

It's just that Xu Chen's buttons were not fastened and his chest was exposed, Li Shuang'er panicked for a while, so she said that she was not wearing clothes.

"I'm here to remind you, are the birthday gifts ready?"

"Oh, well, come in and see for yourself."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he went back to the study to get dressed, Li Shuang'er was already blushing at the moment, standing at the door and leaving, not staying, the key is that Li Shuang'er has never entered Xu Chen's room...... (To be continued.) )
