The magnificent and solemn Guangming Hall stands majestically in the middle of the Weiyang Palace Square, and the fiery red morning sun spreads all over the roof of the hall, reflecting the entire hall into a golden yellow. Carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and arches, intrigues and angles, layer by layer, make the core hall of this Weiyang Palace more majestic and abrupt.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, under the Flying Dragon Hall of white marble, the civil and military ministers dressed in grand costumes were divided into two compartments, and the ministers were quietly waiting for the announcement.

"Dang, dang, dang", Jingyang Zhong's long and deep voice rang. This was followed by the earth-shattering roar of the trombone. With the sound of the bell chime and the music playing, a Huangmen attendant walked out of the hall quickly and praised in a long voice: "The celebration banquet of the Sheng Dynasty begins!" Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, enter the palace according to the order! ”

Under the leadership of Dongfang Shuo and other Zaifu, the ministers lifted their purple robes and walked slowly towards the main hall on the stone steps. In the hall, the sonorous and powerful court music reverberates. The ministers rushed in, and stood according to the order of the feast, facing His Majesty.

For a while, the sound of Zhong Qi was loud, and Emperor Wu, with the support of the chamberlain and the officer on duty, slowly ascended to the dragon majesty and sat on the dragon chair. It can be seen that he is in a very good mood today, and under his solemn expression, he still can't hide the joy in his heart. The ministers knelt down and sang in unison: "The ministers congratulate Your Majesty on the return of the four seas, the surrender of the people, and the eternal glory of the emperor!" Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

A smile appeared on Emperor Wu of Han's face: "Zhongqing is flat." The ministers stood up. Emperor Wu said, "Since I ascended the throne, I have been covered with love in the sky, the sea is peaceful, the world is happy, the Silk Road is chiseled, and the purple gas comes from the east. However, the ministers of the guards in the Lai Dynasty are unremitting inside, and the loyal people forget themselves outside, and they are happy to be able to fight the Czech enemy, which is really my luck and the world's luck! ”

All the ministers praised in unison: "The battle of the Son of Heaven is really Your Majesty's martial arts!" Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "This is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it coincides with the front line to play Kai, the West Pole Tianma will arrive soon, it is really a double happiness, I am very relieved, because this celebration banquet is set up, one is to reward military merits, and the other is to celebrate with the whole world!" ”

The ministers fell down on the mountain again and shouted long live. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave a seat as a ceremony, and the salute official sang: "All Aiqing is flat, take a seat!" ”

The ministers stood up and took their seats. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Pass the meal!" At the sound of the order, the ceremony was played, and the chefs of the imperial dining room brought the delicacies and wines that had been prepared to the table like water.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised the wine bottle in front of him and smiled: "This first bottle of wine is a tribute to the soldiers who fought bloodily in front, and the second division general Li Guangli and the pioneer officer Li Ling who greeted the sweaty and bloody horses!" The squire of the military department, Wei Qing, and all the people sitting here Aiqing! ”

All the ministers raised their wine bottles: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Wei Qing stood up, knelt down on his knees, and held up the wine bottle: "The minister is terrified!" ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised the bottle and drank it all. The ministers also drank all the wine in the bottle.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised the second bottle: "This second bottle of wine, I spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the secretaries." With that, he drank the wine. The ministers complied.

Emperor Wu of Han picked up the third bottle of wine and said with a smile: "This third bottle...... His gaze looked at the ministers. The ministers watched him silently. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said with a smile: "Just wait for the sweaty BMW ahead, as soon as the good news arrives, I will drink this bottle of wine with Zhongqing!" ”

The ministers let out a heartfelt laughter, and the atmosphere was relaxed, and everyone exchanged their heads and whispered laughter. Emperor Wu of Han looked at the hour and said to Wei Qing: "Wei Qing, it should be almost there, right?" ”

Wei Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, it will be there immediately." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a loud singing outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Luntai is eight hundred miles away from the urgent pond newspaper, waiting outside the hall!" ”

The temple fell silent. A smile bloomed on Emperor Wu of Han's face: "Xuan! ”

The Yellow Gate Squire rushed into the hall and raised the Tang Bao with both hands. An attendant took it and quickly presented it to Emperor Wu of Han.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the Tang Newspaper. All eyes were on his face. Su Wu looked at him quietly, Wei Qing looked at him, Dongfang Shuo looked at him, and Sang Hongyang looked at him.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty quickly read the Tang Bao, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Su Wu took a deep breath and clenched the wine bottle tightly with his hand. Dongfang Shuo's inquiring gaze on the side fell on him, and Su Wu slowly shook his head.

Emperor Wu of Han's face changed, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, the muscles of his face twitched, and the shaking of his hands became more and more violent, and gradually, it seemed that he could no longer control it............

"Smack"! There was a crisp sound in the silence, and Tang Bao fell to the ground.

The ministers let out a low cry and stood up one after another. Dongfang Shuo opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but was stopped by Su Wu with his eyes.

For a moment, the temple was so quiet that the sound of breathing could be heard.

The muscles of Emperor Wu of Han's face changed in various ways, as if he was crying or laughing, and that expression was simply difficult to describe. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the wine bottle in front of him, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and he could see that he was desperately trying to suppress his emotions. The hand holding the bottle shook more and more, so much so that the wine in the bottle was shaken out and spilled on the hand. The faces of the ministers changed from worry to fear, and from fear to panic, they had never seen this domineering and confident Emperor Wu of Han look like this. The hall was so quiet that it seemed that even the sound of breathing had stopped.

Suddenly, Emperor Wu of Han let out a burst of laughter, so that the bodies of the ministers couldn't help but shake the moment the laughter came out.

When all eyes were once again focused on the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty on Danhan, the ministers were surprised to find that the haze on his face had been swept away, and the color of joy filled his cheeks, and he raised the wine bottle and said loudly: "This third bottle of wine, to the soldiers who died on the front line!" ”

The ministers were stunned, looking at the face of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the wine bottle in his hand, those ministers who were usually good at speculating on the holy will finally understood that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had made a joke with everyone, and the atmosphere in the hall was relaxed.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised the bottle and drank it in one gulp.

The ministers let out a long sigh, and after thanking him, he raised his wine bottle and drank it down. Suddenly, laughter and joy resumed in the hall, except for one person, and that was Su Wu, who quietly looked at Emperor Wu of Han.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled, put down the wine bottle and said: "Zhongqing is happy, I can't drink enough, and I will go and rest for a while." ”

The ministers stood up and sang, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Su Wu slowly picked up the wine bottle, and his hands trembled a little. Dongfang Shuo walked up to him: "Counselor Su, something is wrong!" ”

Su Wu raised his head: "It was expected!" ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned: "What?" ”

Su Wu shrugged lightly and did not speak. He rushed forward and pouted, Dongfang Shuo turned his head and saw Wei Qing standing in front of the two with a frightened face: "Two adults, this, this thing is not right......

Su Wu slowly stood up: "Lord Wei, what's going on with this Tang Bao?" ”

Wei Qing stammered: "I haven't seen the lowly position, the lowly position just sent a letter to Li Guangli of Luntai, ordering him to offer victory in the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Su Wu sighed: "Xianjie...... Originally, this pond retribution first went through the military department, then reached the cabinet department, and finally went to the saint, but ...... Your Majesty is too anxious and needs this victory too much! ”

Wei Qing said uneasily: "Master Su, can you please go inside to find out what is going on." ”

Su Wu shook his head. At this time, a rush of footsteps sounded behind him, and an attendant rushed over: "Lord Su, the Holy Lord has summoned." ”

Su Wu nodded. Wei Qing said in a low voice: "Please, Lord Su!" Su Wu walked inward quickly.

In the apse of Weiyang Palace, the cigarette smoke is thick and the purple gas is fluttering. Emperor Wu of Han stood quietly in front of the window, with his back to the temple door, hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, his body moved slightly, but he did not look back.

Su Wu walked slowly behind him and called softly, "Your Majesty!" ”。 Emperor Wu of Han turned around suddenly, and Su Wuden was stunned. Tears had already covered the cheeks of Emperor Wu of Han.

Su Wu took a deep breath, he didn't ask, and he didn't speak.

Emperor Wu of Han's lips trembled, letting the old tears on his face run rampant.

Su Wu nodded: "It seems that the victory that His Majesty was looking forward to has not come." ”

Emperor Wu of Han let out a bitter smile: "Victory?!" Tears welled up in his eyes again, he took a deep breath, and said word by word: "The 70,000 troops under the command of the second division returned triumphantly from the 3,000 horses of Tianma in the country of Dawan, and by means of Wusun, they were chased and intercepted by the Huns Maotun, and they were burned by Maodun in the Black Oil Mountain, shame!" ”

Su Wu trembled and blurted out, "What? Burn down the company camp! ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded: "The deputy generals of the second division, Che Ji and Wu Daniu, were killed, and the general Li Guangli had more than 10,000 remnants of the army, and retreated to Heiyou Mountain!" ”

Su Wu gasped.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned around: "A few days ago, I also received a report from the vanguard officer Li Ling, saying that he had successfully detoured behind the Xiongnu Maodun through Wusun, and was ready to launch a general attack with Li Guangli's army in front of him, but today ......"

Su Wu said softly: "Your Majesty, what else did the Tang newspaper say?" ”

Emperor Wu of Han walked to the table and picked up the Tang newspaper: "Read it for yourself." ”

Su Wu hurriedly took the Tang Bao and read it carefully, and then slowly raised his head: "The Tang Bao only said that Li Guangli's main force was ambushed, and was burned to the company camp in the Black Oil Mountain, the whole army was annihilated, and three thousand heavenly horses were robbed. But the cause and effect, the ins and outs are not clear, it seems, it seems to be ......"

Emperor Wu of Han said: "What does it seem? ”

Su Wudao: "It seems that this Tang newspaper is the last one. ”

Emperor Wu of Han listened inexplicably: "What? What is the last portion? ”

Su Wu smiled: "That is to say, before this Tang report, there should be many reports on the emergency military situation sent back to the court." ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "But, but the military department didn't receive it!" ”

Su Wu took a deep breath: "There is something strange in this matter! ”

Emperor Wu of Han raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?" ”

Su Wu said: "Your Majesty, please bear with me for a while, don't spread this matter for the time being, within two days, the minister will definitely be rewarded." ”

Emperor Wu of Han looked at him for a long time and nodded slowly.
