Chapter 50: The Celebration Banquet

The city of Chang'an, which stands on the dragon's head plain, has now become taller and more magnificent, and the expansion of the outer city wall has more than tripled the size of the entire Chang'an.

Approaching the Spring Festival, although the weather in December is a little cold, but in the lively Chang'an, it seems that there is no chill at all, there are lively businessmen everywhere, there are bustling crowds everywhere, everyone is preparing for the arrival of the New Year, they have to buy New Year's goods on the street, celebrate the old year past, the new year begins.

Chang'an, which has been renovated by Xuyang, accommodates millions of people to gather and live here, and this city is like a strong and powerful heart, constantly beating every second, providing a steady stream of vitality for Datang.

Xu Yang once said in Nanshan Academy, "The history of a city is the history of a nation, and Chang'an is the origin of the awakening history of the Chinese nation." ”

Now, this holy place where all nations come to make pilgrimages, connected to the railway network extending in all directions, has become the transportation hub of Middle-earth, and the world's largest international capital, which has truly become the origin of the awakening of Chinese history......

Chu Yun followed the army into Chang'an City from the Tianyuan Gate, and behind them was the jade bowl of the current emperor, who could open the way for His Majesty, this glory, thinking about it made Chu Yun feel excited.

Suzaku Street has not changed much from when it left, but most of the shops around it have changed, and those small facades that used to be have been replaced by large shops with glass windows.

Both sides of the road were already crowded with people, rows of miscellaneous goods, Linglang's eyes full of goods, and the smell of cooked rice filled the air.

Suzaku Street has been placed under martial law, but there are still many people on both sides of the road. Be able to catch a glimpse of the holy face. This kind of thing has always been something that the people at the bottom feel extremely honored.

Chu Yun rode on a tall horse. From time to time swept to the people kneeling on both sides of the road, his mood was difficult to calm down for a while, when he first set out on the expedition, His Majesty personally saw off, and now he returned triumphantly, admired by all the people, this achievement made his blood boil when he thought about it.

"Brother Chu, wait until you finish eating Your Majesty's celebration wine. How are you going to arrange it. Chen Er, who was riding on a horse on the side, asked with a smile, Chen Er was Chu Yun's comrade-in-arms who got along very well in the army.

"After half a year of expedition, I don't know if my parents are okay, and when the celebration is over, I plan to go home directly to see." Chu Yun replied with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Chu's family and the Yan family have a lot of origins, but I heard that you are not only a distant virtuous nephew of Yan Liben's painter's family, but also a son-in-law who has already been booked, you are in such a hurry to go home, I'm afraid it's to see the little lady early, right? Ha ha. ”

"This fighter. What nonsense. Chu Yun was about to fight, but there were also ripples in his heart. I don't know if Yun'er has been doing well in the Yan family these days after being away for so long......

Finally entered the palace, Xu Yang felt that his numb arm had a little sense, and many officers above the Xiao Cavalry Guard of this expedition had been invited to the Liangyi Palace, and the vast Liangyi Hall was flooded in with hundreds of people at once, but it did not seem empty.

The attendants and maidservants who had already prepared arranged the seats of many sergeants and civil and military officials according to their seats, and in front of each of them was a three-foot square wooden table with silver cutlery on it.

Gong E is adding firewood to the chimney, since the fireplace and chimney appeared in Xujiazhuang, Li Er, who disliked the cold of the Liangyi Palace, also ordered the craftsmen to add four huge fireplaces to the left and right of the Liangyi Palace, and in winter, as long as the charcoal firewood is burned in the fireplace, the originally cold hall will become steaming.

The dry firewood burned and made a slight popping sound, and Li Er was already sitting on the high platform of the Liangyi Hall under the service of Bai Mei, only to see him holding the silver cup in his hand, and said very excitedly: "At the beginning of my ascension to the throne, I was determined to establish immortal achievements and be a model for the emperors of the ages. Now, I look at the whole world, from Australia in the south, to the Turks in the north, to South America in the east, and to destroy the Great Eclipse in the west. Every time I think about it, I will feel excited, these lands are you who fought for me, you are my heroes, and I am also the heroes of my Tang Dynasty, I will not treat you badly, I remember your merits one by one! Now, all of you, please drink! ”

After Li Er's grand declaration, he raised the silver cup in his hand and drank it all, which also brought the atmosphere of the entire hall to a climax, and the soldiers in the audience also had red eyes, yelled and drunk, and then raised their heads and poured a large glass of white wine into their stomachs.

Xu Yang looked at these people in a daze, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forty or fifty degrees of liquor, a large glass, this is almost half a catty, for the ancient people who can't drink enough, Xu Yang is really afraid that someone will pour it directly on the table after drinking.

However, Xu Yang obviously underestimated the amount of alcohol consumed by these ancient soldiers, and after a glass, although many people's faces were red like monkey butts, their eyes were not slackened, and they were still bright.

Li Er looked at everyone with a smile, and then waved his hand and said: "Now there is a dish that is quite popular in my Chang'an, it is the 'hot pot' from Xujiazhuang, this kind of food is especially suitable for winter, it is said that when eating, you will feel hot all over the body, and it is very refreshing. ”

As soon as Li Er's words fell, hundreds of small servants dressed in imperial dining room costumes lined up from the side hall, only to see one of them carrying a large cauldron, and a small iron pot under the pot, which was filled with red-hot charcoal.

Xu Yang was already drooling, he hadn't eaten hot pot for a while, but he didn't expect to meet Li Er's treat today, so he naturally had to eat a big meal in order to be worthy of the cold wind he had suffered all morning.

As the hot pot was served, the rest of the main dishes were also coming one after another, and the efficiency of the imperial dining room was very high, and after a while, the wooden table in front of everyone was already filled with all kinds of fresh food, which made people salivate.

Li Er waved his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen, please!" ”

Hearing His Majesty's order, everyone no longer maintained their image, and they all took big gulps, Xu Yang was naturally no exception, putting the meatballs and vegetables into the pot one after another, seeing the bubbling soup constantly rolling, Xu Yang felt that his taste buds seemed to be about to stop calling himself, raised his head, and glanced at the bald man sitting in the front row under Li Ertai, Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction, and he could hear good news again when he returned to the village...... (To be continued......)
