Chapter 65: Ascending to the Table

Xue Chongxun originally thought it was Hu Wu again, but today the palace prostitutes changed their tricks. Dou Huaizhen, who was next to each other, explained with a very expert look: "The Moon Palace Feather Dance, the new row, only the best in the Daming Palace. ”

I saw that the dancers on the stage were light, with long sleeves flying, and they were all born as if they were not stained with wind and dust, which was indeed a bit fairy. Xue Chongxun also appreciated it with great interest, compared with Hu dance, he preferred this long-sleeved and soft Han dance, which has more charm and connotation, and will express some artistic conception through guò dancing. Just like the feather dance of the Moon Palace in front of you, you can think of those goddesses and immortals in the fairy palace; And Hu Wu always twists and shakes happily like a sheep's madness, and what is even more depressing is that he likes to turn in circles quickly, making people dizzy and feeling like he is going to get motion sickness. It's just a matter of personal preference, the Chang'an court actually prefers new things from the Western Regions.

However, the atmosphere in the hall affects the fairy spirit of this dance very much, the cups are staggered, laughing, noisy, everything, and the whole lively scene is comparable to the East Market Market. There are also those foreign envoys in strange costumes, who are so excited that they laugh and point fingers, making the fairy dance like a fairy dancing in the Pansi Cave.

Whether it is a fairy or a fairy, the dancers on the stage are indeed very beautiful, especially when dancing, they show the beautiful posture of women, and Xue Chongxun is also very interested.

The purple and dark gold base hall, the walls built of rammed plates, all kinds of antique interior decorations, gorgeous and extravagant but not frivolous, the same is true for the dancing girls on the stage, although they are dressed more revealingly, and they can see that everyone's hormones are high, but their dancing posture is beautiful but not inferior, coupled with the open clothes that are already fashionable in the Tang Dynasty court, they will naturally not give people a sense of frivolity. In fact, women are particularly beautiful when performing dances, and they can show their charm, a woman with a little posture may usually look ordinary, and she can arouse people's love and pity when she stands on the stage and her graceful posture, no wonder Li Shouli likes to choose women at the singing and dancing banquet.

At this time, Brother Fen must be looking at those women with squinting eyes, everyone can know without guessing, but they can't see clearly from too far away. The layout of the main hall of the Lin De Hall is very suitable for banquets, the north is high and the south is low, there is a wooden platform with carved railings on the top for the dancers to perform, the emperor's throne is closer to the top for easier viewing, and the ministers sit under the platform.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's interest was even higher, and then I saw a Tibetan man leaving the table and staggering onto the stage, twisting and turning in front of those courtesans, teasing his palace prostitutes.

Immediately, the ministers burst into laughter, naturally laughing at him for making a fool of himself. Although there are etiquettes on this kind of occasion, it is obviously much more relaxed than in the temple, not to mention that it is the Gentiles who make a fool of themselves, so naturally there is no matter how strict the imperial history comes out to reprimand and affects the atmosphere.

The emperor can scold a few words, but Li Shouli's guy is also a faint gentleman, and he probably won't scold the Tubo man, and he thinks it's fun to laugh along with the dragon chair, because the Tubo man is too fat, and the posture of twisting his ass is too funny.

Finally, another Tubo envoy who was not drunk stood up, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have never seen the court song and dance when I first arrived in the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know the etiquette when I am drunk, please forgive my majesty." ”

Li Shouli laughed and said, "I think he dances very well." ”

There was an uproar in the hall, some laughing, some shaking their heads and sighing.

The Tibetan man who spoke walked up the steps and pulled down his companion who had been carried away with joy, and the group did not care. The Moon Palace Feather Dance was also completed, and a group of courtesans retreated and changed to other general tricks.

Unexpectedly, there was another quarrel below, and a person stood up and pointed at people and scolded. Li Shouli hurriedly asked: "What is the noise, what's the matter?" ”

The menacing man who stood up turned around, clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the Silla (Han) people are so despised that they actually sit on the table of the Japanese envoy, and ask him to sit down but he refuses, how can this be reasonable?" ”

There was a person with an asymmetrical face who touched his face, probably a little inferior, but his mouth was still tough, and he said in very difficult Chinese: "You are shorter than a monkey!" ”

On that day, I stood up straight and glared angrily, saying that I was not short in height, and there were tall people everywhere. He glared angrily and then reprimanded: "The person who can't say anything is unfavorable, he actually sent him to Datang as an envoy, and he laughs at people." ”

At this time, everyone noticed that this foreigner's Chinese was very fluent, and it was still an authentic Chang'an accent, and if he claimed to be a Chang'an outside, he would probably not be suspected by people.

Silla said: "Please be the master, we Silla people have always been at the seat in Japan, what is their intention to provoke them for no reason today?" ”

The envoy said: "There is a difference between the upper and lower officials, the country is divided into large and small education, and Silla is poor and poor, so why is it in the upper seat? ”

Li Shouli said: "Don't fight, you bet on whoever wins and who sits on the table." ”

A minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is a matter of diplomatic relations, and you can't use small insect carving skills to score superiority." ”

Li Shouli said impatiently: "Then you give them a decision, who should sit in what position." ”

The minister was stunned and saluted: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

"Then let them compare themselves...... Break your wrists, come here, carry the case up, everyone is knocking, willing to gamble and lose. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the minister who spoke could only shake his head and retreat.

The two envoys of Himoto and Silla were also surprised, but the emperor's words were holy decrees, and even their king could not openly disobey them, let alone them. As soon as Chrysostom said this, the two had to play a wrist wrench in public.

A swallowtail case was brought to the stage, and the eunuchs placed a futon on each side, and the two messengers knelt facing each other.

Many people below took the opportunity to coax, most of them were envoys from other countries, who were happy to watch the excitement, but the aristocratic ministers of the Tang Dynasty made relatively few coaxing, and most of them felt a little embarrassed to toss like this. The hall was in a commotion, and it was simply swept away.

Suddenly, Li Shouli made a voice, "I ......", and then I heard a woman's scream.

Everyone was too far away from the throne to understand what was happening, and they all looked sideways. However, the envoy who was about to wrench his wrist on the stage could see it more clearly, and he said that day: "His Majesty vomited blood, it seems to be poisoned!" ”

There was an uproar in the main hall, many people stood up, and Xue Chongxun was also shocked when he heard it, and his face changed suddenly. The eunuchs hurried up, and one of them shouted, "Tell the imperial doctor!" ”

At this time, I heard a woman's voice say angrily: "Empress Gao poisoned Her Majesty's wine, come and arrest her." ”G
