Chapter 12: Drinking and Drinking (5)

Liu Bangfang was thinking deeply, and at this time, two people walked in from outside the hall in a hurry, it was the crown prince and the emperor.

The Emperor Taishang was dressed in luxurious clothes, a golden crown could not hide his pale white hair at all, the wrinkles on his face were as deep and dense as ravines, and his eyes, which originally looked like he had seen through the world, had lost any brilliance. Entered the hall and saw a room full of people, everyone looked at the prince and the emperor, the emperor was unwilling to mix with these slightly majestic and solemn court gatherings, the emperor said that taking advantage of this good moment, the princes came to the court is not easy, so he passed his birthday together, the emperor reluctantly came to the Weiyang Palace, if it were not for the first day of October, I am afraid that he himself is still playing cockfighting and Liubo games with those neighbors who moved from Pei County.

The Emperor Taishang was carefully supported by the prince, step by step across the 100-meter red carpet, the prince was heroic, quite royal style, a black mixed with red clothes against the golden and brilliant hall, which added a lot of color.

Ruyi saw his brother coming, his face was overjoyed, and he was about to go down, but Liu Bang pushed him back on his lap. Ruyi pouted and glanced at Liu Bang, and secretly shouted, "Brother." ”

"The three emperors do nothing, and lead the people with the Tao; Five emperors are gracious, and they are virtuous; The three kings are just, and power the people; The five tyrants use wisdom and strength, and rewards and punishments must be believed. The royal road is also, and the people who are subdued are flowing; Emperor Tao also, Yu Shun flow; Wang Dao also, the flow of Shang Tang; Domineering also, five uncles flow. Wang Ji is thousands of miles, but in the end, the incompetent country continues, why not? Heaven does not grant its life also. After Zhao Zheng's title of the first emperor, he opened the Great Qin River and Mountain, praying for immortality, and then the second emperor died, why not? Heaven does not give him his command. At the end of Qin, the turbulent times were stormy, and the Red Emperor rose up to respond to the Quartet, exterminated Qin and then called the emperor only seven years before and after, set the world to settle the people, and the country was sealed and the counties were county, the politics were clear, the law was strict, and the country was sitting on 80,000 miles of rivers and mountains, and the Qin Emperor was diligent inside and outside, and the Qin Emperor was not as good as it, but how could he open the country? Fate, the Red Emperor has a son, and when he is entrusted with the chaos, he is ordered to be in danger, which can be described as an unprecedented emperor. Congratulations to the gods, to the benefit of the people, but the fate of eternity, sincerity should make the river such as a belt, Mount Tai if strong, the country to Yongning, war and Miao descendants, the country is long, hundreds of millions of years. "The crown prince Liu Ying walked forward while helping the emperor to walk forward, and at the same time carefully recited the 'Ode to the Son of Heaven' that Empress Lu asked him to recite word by word. Although he didn't know what Empress Lu meant by asking him to do this, he did as she wanted.

As soon as the prince's voice fell, the ministers began to make noise again, they had never seen the prince's literary and ink kung fu before, and today they saw that it was really extraordinary, so the passionate and surging 'Ode to the Son of Heaven' came from the mouth of the prince, so that the ministers were happy and convinced, and there was a lot of love for the prince's elegant and gentle and kind character, unlike today's emperor who scolded him when he was not satisfied. For a while, there was a bit of an elegant emperor, but in terms of eloquence, he first conquered some ministers who were not very optimistic about him. However, there are also some ministers who immediately showed suspicion, three years ago the crown prince Miyamoto Liang died of illness and never asked the prince to learn from the prince, and now if this 'praise of the son of heaven' really came out of the prince's mouth, it is quite suspicious. But most of the ministers complimented, and those who had doubts followed the crowd with compliments.

"The prince knows so much at a young age, admire and admire."

"Three Emperors, Five Emperors, Three Kings and Five Uncles, discussing the inevitability of the change of dynasties and the change of dynasties."

"The most important thing is the latter sentence, he alludes to the fact that the three emperors and the five emperors are inferior to the emperor, which is unprecedented."

"The prince summed up history, praised the current emperor, and sang the praises of the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, high."

……

The ministers were chattering endlessly, and Liu Bang was also in disbelief at this time, his mouth was open in disbelief, and he looked at the prince with round eyes. I was amazed that I hadn't seen the prince for the past few days, why was his skill so good, and no one told him that the prince was going to enter the palace and perform like this. But the crown prince not only did this, but also helped the emperor to come in gently, which caused the ministers to leave a good impression on him, and he could also listen to the opinions of the ministers below, as if it was more one-sided.

Liu Bang didn't read much, and when he heard the prince reading out these majestic things, he was stunned on the dragon couch, and the appearance of the prince disrupted Liu Bang's plan a little, and he was at a loss for a while, and he was resentful in his heart who helped write such a play. Praise the Son of Heaven', Liu Bang understood that it was impossible for the prince to write such in-depth words, and he didn't dare to show the creaky of his hand with his gritted teeth, and the anger in his heart suddenly rushed straight to his head and didn't dare to send it out easily, desperately holding back his anger, and only after a while suppressed his emotions and forced him to calm down, he just expanded a flat smile from his face and said, "The prince is young and intelligent, and he is a role model for the princes, take a seat." "Neither ruthless praise, but also so bland, a simple dragonfly like a little water, made the ministers suddenly puzzled. When the prince saw Ruyi sitting in his father's arms, his heart suddenly turned a little desolate, his eyes lowered, and his face walked to his place flatly.

Liu Bang asked the eunuch to bring a mat for the crown prince, put Ruyi on the couch, got up and walked over the case in front of him, and personally went down the steps to take the emperor into the seat. Liu Bang first bowed down like an elder and performed a respectful courtesy, the Emperor nodded back, Liu Bang stretched out a hand, and the Emperor put his hand into Liu Bang's hand.

"The Emperor, please take a seat." Liu Bang helped the Emperor Taishang to a high platform mat not far from him, the mat was on the right side of his dragon couch, and the prince was sitting on the left, and arranged for the Emperor Taishang to sit down, and Liu Bang sat back on his dragon couch.

The ministers below are humble and respectful: Emperor Taishang Changle Weiyang, His Majesty the Emperor Changle Weiyang, and the Han Dynasty will last forever for hundreds of millions of years. The sound shook the sky, magnificent and magnificent, like the waves of the sea.

Liu Bang stretched out his hand with a smile and made a gesture in the air, "Flat." ”

After some episodes, the official in charge of the details stood up and shouted a long shout to the hall, "Perform the ritual of seeing the law: pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, worship and worship." ”

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs knelt on the ground again, took out the leather cushion in the long sleeves of the wide robe, and respectfully put out the Biyu in his arms, and then bowed to the chief, "Congratulations on October, at the beginning of the new year, the rain is smooth, and the country is prosperous." ”

Dozens of eunuchs took the big case to collect all the jade placed around the civil and military ministers, and withdrew from the palace to collect other gifts from the princes, the upper hall only brought leather cushions and jade, and other valuable gifts were all supervised by their own internal history or other officials, all of which were received by the eunuchs on this day, and then presented to the Son of Heaven. Liu Bang got up, and the twelve rows of people on the Pingtian crown moved with it, walked on the edge of the stage, straightened up, looked down at His Royal Highness's Wenwu, and said, "The new arrival in October, all the secretaries will work together, and the people will be committed to production and build peace together." ”

Both civil and military said, "Obey the orders of the Son of Heaven." "Then the head of the head, Liu Bang did the momentum of supporting in the air, and the ministers all stood up, and the palace people and eunuchs brought thick mats and put them behind the ministers of civil and military affairs one by one, and the emperor said, 'Sit', everyone knelt down before a few cases, and their hands were naturally squared between the large strands.

The emperor motioned to the court musicians to start the ceremonial music part, and after the musicians received the order, they commanded a court musician of nearly 100 people. Previously, Shusun Tong specially told the music official to order the music of "Wenshi", which was originally called "Da Shao" music, and "Da Shao" was composed by Yu Shun to praise Tang Yao's merits. Chimes, flutes, flutes, xun sounds, and drums follow suit, faint, majestic, mighty, happy, sometimes solemn, sometimes magnificent, the essence of ancient pure music is fully revealed, and there is really the feeling that Confucius said that 'learning it, March does not know the taste of meat'.

The sound of "The Beginning of the Text" stopped, and everyone had not yet had time to break away from the ancient music, and some were still immersed in the greatness of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, and there was still some feeling of lingering sound, and the music suddenly changed, and it was replaced by two articles: "The Book of Songs, Zhou Song, Weitian's Destiny" and "The Book of Songs, Zhou Song, Fengnian":

"The fate of the heavens, Yu Mu is endless. It is not obvious, the virtue of King Wen is pure. If I overflow, I will receive it, and I will benefit my King Wen, and my great-grandson will be Duzhi. ”

……

"There are many crops in good years, and there are also high-rises, trillions and seeds. For the wine for the liquor, the ancestors of the Xuan. To negotiate a hundred gifts, blessings are all. ”

……

The sound of the ancients is majestic and magnificent, as if to see the good deeds of the king of Wen, as if to see the people of the four seas worship and be upright; As if to see its full harvest, as if to see the majesty of its king's sacrifice. The first part praises the virtues of King Wen, and the second part writes an ode to celebrate the good year of sacrifice. These two articles, one symbolizes that the emperor of the Han family is as meritorious as King Wen, he must love the people of the world, take the interests of the people for profit, and the people will repay them with ten thousand times better; Second, the state has always attached great importance to social welfare, and praying for a good harvest of land is the best reward for the people, and it is a relatively important economic matter.

Hearing these two articles, everyone in the main hall, including the emperor, had a solemn face, resonating with the rich sound, praying for the reappearance of King Wen's virtue and praying for a smooth rain in the coming year.

After the more serious songs, the dancers of the eight jade and pure flowers came in from outside the hall, with slender waists and graceful turns, slender postures dancing, pink clothes and green sleeves flying, three thousand green silks hanging chaotically, peach blossoms on the human face, beautiful dance steps circling, changing the formation at all times. The hall immediately changed from a solemn atmosphere to a more harmonious and bright atmosphere, and everyone's faces gradually appeared with a kind face, and gradually there was laughter. The ministers watched the dance under Liu Bang's seat, although the atmosphere was more bright and lively, Liu Bang was preoccupied, and everyone didn't dare to indulge the nonsense they originally hoped for when they saw him frowning absent-mindedly. So all the rules and regulations, I didn't dare to drink like before, there were still clapping hands, watching while eating, nodding and expressing affection to the dancers, silently appreciating, and the flowers in their hearts were not revealed, all the ministers paid attention to the dancers, but a few people with vision sometimes glanced at the emperor.

Although Liu Bang is usually beautiful, he doesn't have the heart to appreciate these at this time. He was thinking about how to let the ministers know his intentions, and he promised Mrs. Qi that he would let Ruyi behave well today. Ruyi didn't learn much about literature and ink, and he knew that he didn't love these, but Liu Bang didn't spare him this time, so he asked his Taifu Lu Jia to teach Ruyi to recite the first part of the Tao Te Ching in order to win the unanimous approval of the ministers, but unexpectedly, the prince came out on top and immediately won the hearts of many ministers. Although Liu Bang praised the prince in his mouth, he hated him in his heart for destroying this opportunity for Ruyi to perform, and suddenly there was an inexplicable anger that did not hit one place, he took a look at the prince, and the prince was also watching the dance, and did not notice his father's cold gaze.

When everyone was intoxicated and appreciating the dance, Liu Bang turned his head sideways to explain Ruyi After a while, he took the initiative to ask to recite the "Tao Te Ching", Ruyi Mingquan's eyes blinked, looked at his father, and nodded paradoxically.

The kung fu dance of the two teas was over, and it was another praise from the princes to the emperor, and some tributes were also recorded by the ceremonial officials. Later, someone was also arranged to perform some good-looking wild face-covering dances, but Liu Bang couldn't watch it after all, and kept thinking about his wishful child.

The hall finally fell silent, and all the ministers focused their eyes on the emperor on the couch. Liu Bang turned his head and signaled Ruyi to take the initiative to ask, Ruyi smiled naughtily, Liu Bang hugged him from the couch affectionately, and took his hand to stand on the edge of the platform. Ruyi Mingquan looked at everyone in the hall, the corners of his mouth curved and smiled cutely, and said immaturely, "Lu Taifu taught this king to learn the Tao Te Ching, but this king really doesn't like these crepe things, this king wants to learn from Lian Po Li Mu the most, and Wu Luo is the most happy on horseback." ”

Ruyi seemed to have something to say, but as soon as he finished saying this, someone whispered below. Liu Bang was about to raise his hand to appease a little, Ruyi stretched out his little hand at this time and patted it, and suddenly the hall was quiet one after another, Ruyi stood on the edge of the platform and continued, "Don't look at this king is weak, but he knows everything." Father often said that the country suffers, need to be good at the people of the world, Lu Taifu to the king of the "Tao Te Ching" is the best description of the great good, Lao Tzu advocates 'to the extreme, keep quiet', in the final analysis, it is nothing more than the most thorough manifestation of pure inaction, to the void and quiet, the heart is empty, the void and quiet return to the truth, you can think that the king is right? ”

All the ministers were amazed by the words, and the eight-year-old acting king was able to draw inferences from such great wisdom in casual learning, which was really extraordinary, and it was indeed the disease of the emperor's mental intelligence. It really made everyone dumbfounded and stayed in place for a while, not knowing how to praise Liu Ruyi, the acting king, and they all looked at each other.

Emperor Liu Bang, who was originally a little worried, saw Ruyi's performance, and saw the reaction of the ministers below, Long Yan gradually became pleasant, and wanted to ask Ruyi to recite according to the original plan, but Ruyi's own performance was unexpectedly good. Smiled and walked to Ruyi's side and took his little hand, and smiled at the affectionate Chong Ruyi, and the strong friendship between father and son was spread in the hall in an instant.

The Emperor Taishang, who was sitting in the lower right corner, straightened up and looked at the prince, the prince's face was gentle, sitting on the side of the desk and drinking tea elegantly, without any wavering expression, the emperor exhaled heavily, hoping in his heart that the prince would not take the emperor's father's behavior to heart. Emperor Taishang's favorite is Liu Ying, the sister-in-law born to the emperor's wife Lu, just like his name, he is more than enough, full but not arrogant.

When everyone was speechless, they heard Liu Ruyi say, "Father, son-in-law asks for sword dance." ”

Liu Bang was pondering Ruyi's words just now, and at this time he took the initiative to ask for sword dance, Liu Bang was even more happy in his surprise, looking at his baby son happily, bending over and pinching his little face, "Do you know how to dance a sword?" You are so young, why doesn't your father usually see you dancing with a sword? Don't get hurt. Every sentence shows his love and worry for Liu Ruyi, worried that he is not much longer than the sword, and he was injured by the sword.

"Erchen doesn't have to pick time to practice, Erchen will learn it as soon as he learns." Ruyi raised his thumb and pouted his mouth in a childish voice, "Isn't the husband afraid of being hurt?" ”

Liu Bang turned to laugh and said mightily to the below, "Acting for the king to dance the sword, the princes and princes will give me some pointers." ”

Liu Ruyi asked the sheer to bring him a sword, the sword was really not much shorter than him, but Ruyi skillfully carried the sword and walked down the steps. Walked to the center of the main hall, first gave the emperor's father a more elegant and formal courtesy, and then turned around and bent down politely, raised his hands and held the sword to the ministers and said, "This king is still young, he doesn't know historical allusions, and he won't be like the prince's brother who has a mind about the past and the present, this king just likes to dance the sword, today is the day of my dynasty's big day, I should have offered a stunt, but I am only more than eight years old, and I can't hold the power of the sword, but this king wants to see my father applaud and cheer for his sons, Let the king and the prince's brother add a modest contribution to the feast of Weiyang Palace. ”

Liu Ruyi said word by word, but he didn't know that his words had made the ministers start to talk again.

"The acting king is also like a king, without stage fright at all."

"Doesn't the emperor just like to dance with knives and sticks, and don't like to read?"

"No wonder it is rumored that the emperor said that the acting king is most like him."

"At such a young age, he actually said such heroic words, which is worth cultivating."

"The crown prince is full of anger, and the overlord of the acting king is full of energy, everything is good."

"At the age of eight, you can guess the emperor's mind, and the acting king is smart."

"What does the emperor mean?"

"These two guys are going to fight each other secretly, right?"

……

When the ministers were still discussing the king, Ruyi had already skillfully picked up the hilt of the sword and danced in the hall, the long sword was longer than his body, but he was stubbornly dancing, sometimes his eyes followed the direction of the sword, sometimes the golden rooster was independent, sometimes he jumped to pick the sun and the moon, and waved the sword respectfully, to make his father happy, although the dance was unsatisfactory, but after all, the ministers were a little moved, and suddenly the ministers could not judge who performed well.
