207 [Things are not as simple as they seem]

[Hanyuan Hall was built in 663 A.D., and there was a little flaw]

The majesty of Daming Palace is indescribable. From the perspective of modern people, the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing dynasties is big enough! But the area of the Forbidden City is only a quarter of the size of the Daming Palace.

Compared to foreign palaces, it is just as exaggerated. Daming Palace is three times the size of the French Palace of Versailles and twelve times the size of the Russian Kremlin......

To be specific, it covers an area of 500 standard football fields, which is simply extravagant.

The main hall of Daming Palace contains the Yuan Palace, which is located on the pedestal of three meters high, and the whole hall is four zhang higher than the flat ground. Looking from afar, Hanyuan Hall is backed by the blue sky, tall and majestic, and intimidating.

Standing in Hanyuan Hall and looking down on Chang'an City at his feet, heroic feelings arose, shouting: This is my world, not to mention how cool it is.

However, Shuang Gui Shuang, except for the emperor, if others want to shout this sentence, they will pay more than just the price of losing their heads, and the nine clans are almost the same.

When the court meeting was held, the hundred officials of the upper dynasty stood under the bell and drum tower and waited to enter the court hall under the supervision and examination of the imperial history. While the court meeting was in progress, the supervising imperial historian and the counselor stood on both sides of the railing on the upper level of Longwei Road.

The so-called "thousands of officials look forward to Chang'an, and all countries worship Hanyuan", "Nine days open the palace, and all countries worship the crown", which is to describe the grand occasion of the Hanyuan Palace.

In the main hall, Empress Wu Zetian was receiving envoys from various countries on behalf of the emperor, and when she went to Lunes, the prince of Kang, this guy saw the county lord of Mingyue, who was dressed as a female official, and was entangled in the main hall.

In front of so many foreign envoys below, it can be said that the shame has been thrown all over the world.

Disrupting the court, Wu Zetian was also a little unhappy with him, and said condescendingly: "The dance from the Western Regions orchid is good, and the dance of Prince Kang is also good, let's present a song later!" ”

Of course, there is not much humiliation in this, in the Tang Dynasty, nobles and high-ranking officials with status, singing and dancing in public at the banquet is still a very normal, very elegant, and tasteful activity, and no one will laugh at it at all.

When Li Jing exterminated the Eastern Turks, Li and his son held a banquet to celebrate, and Tang Taizong, who had been the emperor for several years, danced in front of the heavenly demons on the banquet, and the emperor Li played the pipa accompaniment, and the ministers toasted and danced one after another.

Before Lunez danced, the county lord of Mingyue cooperated with the court dance troupe of the Tang Dynasty and performed an extremely wonderful dance, which almost sucked his soul away.

He secretly made up his mind in his heart: he must ask for a marriage and get this county lord in his hands.

It's a pity that Yuan Pengfei can't see such a wonderful dance, he is a little minion of the forbidden army, and he is still guarding the city wall for the royal family!

……

"Did you hear that? A little prince asked the lord of Mingyue County of our Tang Dynasty for marriage, and Her Royal Highness promised him to win the first place in the military competition, so he would give him marriage. ”

"You're behind the news! The sixteen guards of the forbidden army have already spread all over the world, and the brothers are gearing up one by one, ready to find a prince for this one to see! ”

"That's right, let him be a foreigner and achieve the final victory. Where do we put Datang's face? Where will the faces of the brothers of the Sixteenth Guard Praetorian Army be placed? Gotta give him a little color and see. ”

The speed of news spread was particularly fast, and the actions in all aspects were also very fast, the forbidden army competed within the competition to select the contestants, and the gambling houses in the city began to select seeded players, ready to open the carnival, and made a fortune.

Yuan Pengfei returned to the Hou Mansion, and it was not strange to hear about this, but he was more intense in honing his martial arts skills, preparing to stand out in the forbidden army competition, so as to get the opportunity to talk to Her Majesty the Empress.

"Erlang, are you preparing to participate in the forbidden army competition by honing your martial arts skills?"

Hou Ye's eldest son, his cheap eldest brother walked into the courtyard, looked at him with a smile and said very firmly.

It's lice on a bald head, obviously. At this time, honing martial arts skills is to sharpen the gun in battle, and the effect of not being happy is also light.

Otherwise, the son of the dignified marquis, it is enough to practice in the military camp normally, and Xiu Mu should also be teasing the maid at home and enjoying the orchid dance.

"Of course, this is an opportunity to get ahead, Her Majesty the Queen is definitely going to come to watch, if you perform well, it will be easy to be promoted to the next level."

Yuan Pengfei put away his spear, looked at the eldest brother dressed as a scribe, and asked rhetorically: "The eldest brother is very interested today, didn't you go on an outing with your friends and talk about poetry or something?" ”

Hou Ye is a shrewd figure, and he still has a better future as a civil official during the Taiping period. Therefore, there is no shortage of any one in the family, and if it is well operated, the family will prosper for a hundred years.

His cheap eldest brother Yuan Chenming has studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he has taken the road of imperial examinations, and most of the time he plays poetry and articles with those sour literati.

is similar to his younger brother, who has an average performance in dancing guns and sticks, has different views and different qualities, so he naturally can't urinate in a pit. It is common to nod and greet each other, and there is no such thing as taking the initiative to come to the door to greet you.

The sun is coming out in the west today? Of course not.

Yuan Chenming came to pass the word, "Aya let me tell you, you'd better not participate in the forbidden army competition, otherwise you will lose Aye's face if you lose." ”

What is the truth behind this? I don't dare to say that I am the first, but I am still sure of the top ten, how can I lose face to Aye? Yuan Pengfei asked rhetorically with a frown.

That's right, his cheap father was a marquis by virtue of his military merits, and the martial arts inherited by the family are also relatively high-grade.

But there are more generals who are more powerful than him, and the martial arts inherited by their descendants are not bad, Yuan Pengfei won the top ten in the forbidden army competition, which is already a lot of face.

But Yuan Chenming was unmoved, and said with a sneer: "What if you get the top ten, your opponents are all some civilian children, even if you win the third place, no one will think you are glorious." ”

There are a lot of noble children in the forbidden army, how can his opponents be all civilian children. Yuan Pengfei looked at his cheap big brother's expression and waited for the following.

"Let me tell you the truth, this is a game at the top, and no one can afford to offend, so your best choice is to stand by and watch the play, understand!" Yuan Chenming didn't bother to explain to him again, so he nodded a little and turned to leave.

When Yuan Pengfei heard these words, his heart was flooded.

There is no love without a reason, and there is no hate without a reason. The world is never as simple as it seems.

A queen majesty, a prince, a county lord, a prince of a small country, and a noble, there may be more forces, what is the inside game like, not chess players don't know at all.

But no matter what, he still has to participate in this forbidden army competition, and there is no better opportunity to stand out than this.
