Section 289 Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet [Third Update]

The Khitan King, the little king of the wilderness, give him face He is a king, if you don't give him face, the Tang Dynasty can make the Khitan disappear forever with a wave of the army. Li Er didn't like the Khitans, because these people were like wild wolves, running around, and from time to time they would bite Datang.

Compared with the Turkic wolves, the Khitan is like a lone wolf.

Thinking about the rest of the people, even if they didn't arrive, they were not worth welcoming King Qin of the Tang Dynasty at all.

Li Yuanxing looked around, no one paid attention to this, and then approached Li Er: "Brother Huang, Lingnan Feng Ang took his two sisters-in-law and seven concubines. The convoy was several miles long, from Lingnan to thirty miles outside Chang'an. ”

After Li Er heard this, he reached out and grabbed Li Yuanxing's wrist and held it hard.

"Feng An!"

"Yes, more than a month ago, my brother wrote to him. Originally, I just hoped that he could care about Datang and send someone over to talk about it, at least not to engage in the matter of ripping the ground. In the eyes of his younger brothers, Feng Ang will compete for profit and fame......" Before Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Li Er stopped him: "Wulang, no matter what, Feng Ang has come to Chang'an, right!" ”

"Yes!" Li Yuanxing gave an affirmative answer.

Li Er didn't speak immediately, but walked to the side of the city tower, after seeing Li Er's move, those forbidden palace masters and internal guards on the city wall naturally knew that the saint and the king of Qin must have something to say, and soon there were six people who seemed to be casual around, but they were very particular about standing six people, outside of protection, it was to block people who should not approach.

Coming to the quiet place, Li Er asked, "What did you promise Feng An?" ”

Li Yuanxing is thinking, Li Er is waiting. He thinks that a person like Feng Ang, who can tear the earth and seal the king, will not come to Chang'an if he is not for heavy profits. I'm afraid that Gorou promised a lot of profits, and he is sorting out his thoughts at this time.

Who would have thought that the expression on Li Yuanxing's face was really strange, and Li Er was even more nervous.

"Brother Huang, my brother wrote a letter of 8,000 words to Feng An."

Hearing the eight thousand words, Li Er took a deep breath, he had to prepare his mind, I am afraid that this promise will not be less. But in any case, Feng Ang came to Chang'an. This represents surrender. Two thousand miles away, no matter what Li Yuanxing promises, it can be understood.

"The younger brother thought about the letter and thought about it, and it seemed that nothing was promised to him!"

"You ......" Li Er's heart felt like it was about to jump out, and he didn't say anything when he heard Li Yuanxing's words. Li Er didn't know if he should cry. Or should laugh. The expression on the face. It's like crying, and it's like laughing. The tone is also a lot weirder: "You are Feng An's child, you can be coaxed by a few words from you!" ”

"It's not coaxing. Brother is sincere! Li Yuanxing emphasized.

"Okay, good for you. Say, what did you write in your letter? ”

"The younger brother wrote down Feng Ang in his heart, and then listed the four great achievements of his grandmother and Mrs. Xi, these four great achievements, from Liang to Sui, are all great achievements to protect the Han people from being divided."

Li Yuanxing talked about the four exploits one by one.

"Good, good!" Li Er clapped his hands vigorously: "Wulang, you are really smart, you will issue a royal decree for the emperor, and seal Feng Xi's family, which is extremely expensive, a product!" Li Er praised Li Yuanxing in his heart, this wisdom is not something that can be said in a few words, but Feng An's coming to Chang'an is definitely related to Li Yuanxing's praise of Mrs. Xi.

"The minister's brother Zuihou wrote a strategy to double the annual income of the people of Lingnan in five years. According to the strategy, he can't reach the courtier's brother to make up for him. If he doesn't follow the strategy, or if he doesn't do it properly, then he is responsible. This is not a promise, nor is it a benefit. Because Datang got more than him. ”

Li Yuanxing's words, Li Er understood.

In other words, you may think that this is a promise, but in Li Yuanxing's heart, this is really not a promise.

"You go to greet him, take him directly to the Datang Arena, and give him a good seat for the emperor!" Li Er patted Li Yuanxing on the shoulder: "Feng An's matter, Wulang's great merit, great merit!" ”

Great achievement?

Li Yuanxing was even thinking about whether to give a bonus system, how many points can be added to this great achievement. Anyway, I can't reward myself, and I can't seal it, so it's okay to use it to punish him.

Outside Chang'an City, thousands of people are clearing the snow on the road.

Li Yuanxing is wearing a down cloak, which can be the new favorite of the Tang Dynasty nobles, a good product to protect against wind and snow, and to protect against the cold. In particular, the aristocratic ladies are even more fond of it, because the color can choose ordinary rainbow brocade, or you can choose the kind of more expensive ones with exquisite circles. The most important thing is that the price of the ordinary is not expensive, and the gorgeous ones are even more treasures.

Today is a sunny day, and Feng Ang saw the banner of King Qin here from three miles away.

Dismounted a hundred steps away, this is Feng An's respect for the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanxing walked up to greet him, holding a cloak on his arm. Naturally, the official of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to introduce, and after seeing the ceremony, Li Yuanxing put the cloak on Feng An's body: "The prince of the country has worked hard from afar, and it is cold in the north, drink a bowl of ginger tea to get rid of the cold!" Li Yuanxing personally brought a tea bowl.

Feng Ang had thought about countless situations when he entered Chang'an on the road, and he thought that someone would greet him.

But I didn't expect that it was King Qin of the Tang Dynasty who came to see him in person, and he might have seen him within three days in Chang'an.

At this time, Li Yuanxing's personal entourage took many cold cloaks to Feng An's subordinates.

Feng Ang was very moved, these clothes were not worth mentioning at all when they reached their level. But this heart moved Feng An. Just as he wanted to say something, Li Yuanxing pulled his arm: "Although Guogong has worked hard from afar, tonight is extraordinary, the Tang New Year celebration, Guogong is afraid that he will regret if he doesn't look at it!" ”

"I am willing to go with His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" Feng Ang pressed heavily on Li Yuanxing's arm with his other hand.

is worthy of a military general, this arm is really powerful.

When Li Yuanxing and Feng Ang came to the Datang Arena, it was just over five o'clock in the afternoon according to modern time, and there was still an hour left before Li Yuanxing said that it was seven o'clock in the afternoon.

But here, more than 400,000 people have gathered.

If it weren't for King Qin's guard of honor, Li Yuanxing would not have been able to enter the arena, and the surrounding roads would have been crowded with people.

500 shops, 250 different kinds of business, eating, drinking, playing, having fun, dressing, walking, and decorating. But there is everything, every shop is crowded with people, the sound of bargaining, the sound of snatching of fine goods, judging from the color of clothing, at least twenty percent of the customers are exotic.

And the shops, there are also eighty, which are reserved for exotic merchants.

"Chang'an City, it's really prosperous!" Feng Ang said with emotion.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "In Chang'an City, there are now nearly 150,000 foreigners, and there are dozens of foreign envoys, people from small states and large and small tribes. This king wants to let them have a good understanding of what the Celestial Empire is! ”

When Li Yuanxing spoke, he noticed that several young people in fancy clothes were all on the street.

Whether it's a shop or a juggler, the storytelling teahouse attracts them.

"There's still an hour, if you like it, why don't you have fun? As long as you remember the Chang'an decree, when you celebrate, you will be polite for three points, even if the other party is at fault. After Li Yuanxing said this, Feng Ang praised loudly: "Three points of courtesy, Datang demeanor!" Then he said to a few young people: "Go and have fun, remember the instructions of His Royal Highness King Qin, even if the other party is at fault, you must be polite and give three points!" ”

As long as there is courtesy, there will be no conflict.

This is Li Yuanxing's concept, don't dare to mess around during the celebration, there are hundreds of thousands of people here, once there is a mess, it is a trivial matter to transfer and ban the army, but Datang's face is really lost.

The Qin Wangfu sent a team of guards to follow the guests.

The Datang Arena is built according to the Fengqi Plain, and the largest staircase seat is on the original. Then there is a semi-ring, which is an open-air arena built with hollowed out earth fields nearly 100 zhang high, reinforced with stones, and built with bricks. At the highest point, one on the left and one on the right, two huge torches fifteen zhang high are burning.

The firelight illuminated the ten miles of Fang Yuan.

Inside the ring stand, there is a circle of a thousand-step track, then the stadium in the middle, and a track in the circle. Outside, there is hard loess and a makeshift ring of sheds.

Feng An's seat is the second floor on the front, and the highest level has less than twenty seats. And the sub-high-level where Feng Ang is located is only sixty seats, and this seat is like a small box, a room.

Li Er personally greeted Feng Ang at the entrance of your guest room, and after the big salute, Feng Ang was very satisfied with his box.

Because he already knows, left and right. On one side is the box of the director of the Security Department of the Tang Empire, General Qin Qiong, and on the other side is the box of the right servant of the Tang Dynasty and the eldest grandson of the uncle Wuji.

The ancients cared a lot about identity, and Feng Ang thought that it was an honor to sit at the same table with such a person.

Since it was a celebration, it was not the time to talk about business, and Feng Ang could not leave in a few days, his Jihua was to stay in Chang'an City for at least three months, or even half a year.

The position of another guest, the Khitan Khan, is on the sixth floor of the faΓ§ade. This position made him extremely surprised, he also observed the identity of everyone in the breadbox, he thought that he was likely to be on the eighth floor, and it was a great courtesy to be placed on the seventh floor, and the seats on the sixth floor made him happy in his heart.

There is food in the box, except for the mutton and vegetarian snacks that are certainly available.

The pig's ears and pig's trotters with wine, and then the sausages filled by Li Yuanxing, the taste is naturally much lighter than that of modern ones, and both salt and sugar are lacking in Datang.

What's even more precious is that there is a bright green vegetarian dish on each box table, and it is a platter of four dishes.

Of course, the higher the box, the more the portion.

Only on the upper third floor, there are six, eight, and twelve kinds, and in Li Er's box are sixteen kinds of green vegetarian dishes.

In winter, snowy winter, the price of this huge amount of green vegetarian vegetables is higher than that of silver, especially the red, red date-sized fruit, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty recognizes it.

Is Datang rich?

Who in the world can eat these fresh green vegetables in winter! (To be continued......)
