Although the Imperial Dining Hall is slightly smaller than the main hall, it is more suitable for receiving guests than the main hall in terms of purpose, setting up banquets, and setting up a wide platform between the emperor's high position and the guest seats. Narrow passages on both sides of the platform are two people wide to bypass the hidden dark chamber beneath the high platform of the Imperial Seat.

It's a lot like a stage, with the right height, the emperor lowers his eyes, and the guests can look up and watch the performance on the stage.

Therefore, in addition to the food and drink, and the service etiquette, the most important thing is how to use the stage.

Regular liturgists can be set up on both sides of the lobby, behind the guest seats, and this platform is usually either a dancer in a feather coat or a teenager dancing with a sword, and Xuan Cang is actually very bad at these.

The night country is good at music and singing, the dancer's dance posture is recognized by the Three Kingdoms, and Di Heng is good at the sword dance of beautiful young people, which is also recognized by the Three Kingdoms.

Ten years ago, Xuancang also had a good reputation in the Three Kingdoms in terms of entertainment - chanting.

It is a chorus, singing the scriptures of prayer to the spiritual wood, and it is often a red-clothed choir of 100 people, with a solemn expression and red ears wrapped in their hands, each of whom is watching the nose and nose and watching the heart, accompanied by the solemn drum music of the tune, singing the scriptures.

The new waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Ang, was promoted by Du Changyan, and he is from Xuancang. Since he took office, this Xuancang centuries-old traditional choir has recruited him again.

Before Lei Jue came, I specially asked Pei Ang to bring the choir to sing to me, and after listening to it, I felt a lot of emotion.

Shocking, powerful, and reverent, but the performance as a guest is so oppressive that I can't imagine what it would be like to eat and chat while listening to the soul-stirring sound of the morning bell and dusk drums, and it is so torturous to perform with this chant.

Therefore, this choir only did the opening chorus and the finale chorus of the dinner on the day of Lei Duan's visit. The finale was still sung with the scriptures selected by Pei Ang, and the opening was replaced by me with a magnificent and inspiring chorus of the sons of a hundred schools.

For this reason, I also went to the Supreme Pavilion of the National Library, which had been newly renovated and opened, and found that the poems, books, rituals, and mediocrities of the hundreds of schools of thought in my concept can also be compared one by one, and the name can be changed. So I happily plagiarized the lyrics and then plagiarized the composition, and asked Yanyu to help me revise the final draft, so I handed it over to Pei Ang to let the choir group practice.

So at the beginning of the table, the guests were seated, and after I gave a welcome speech, the red-clad choir walked neatly from the outside, standing in front of the musicians and behind the guests, with thunderous drums and music.

[The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, 90,000 miles of sky, who is the leader of the rivers and mountains, and the sons of a hundred schools are magnificent. Poetry, books, rituals, music, edicts, filial piety, and loyalty, spectrum righteousness, Taoism, and dreams, and the praise of the five gardens, and the laughter and laughter in the troubled times......]

The envoys of the night below were all stunned when they heard the sentence "Ode to the Five Gardens", and then they took the initiative to raise their wine glasses and salute me in the air, and salute my ministers, and drank the wine happily on both sides, and this friendly atmosphere was set at the beginning.

I've had a lot of sycophants here.

The upper, middle, and lower parts of "Duan Shuo" were compiled by Lei Jue from the age of twelve, and roughly wrote down what he had learned and summarized by himself as a scholar of governing the country, and it was not until he ascended the throne that it was officially written into the library.

"Five Gardens" is a five-part book, and it is also written by Lei Jie's night ghost, which is a collection of today's directors, and then annotated and revised from the perspective of Lei Du, and has both idealism and materialism.

"Virtuous Strategy" is a 35-volume extremely thick book, which is compiled by Lei Nian by integrating the strategic art of war, actual combat records, and experience summary he has learned. This is also the one that Yanyu is now carefully studying.

I didn't pay attention to these three books before, and I didn't have time to pay attention to them, but this time Lei decided to come, and Yanyu also found these books for me, and then I used them for reference, and I found that this pair of brothers is really not simple. But how simple is it?

Hahahaha, well, to be honest, I didn't read it much, but I just felt that I started writing books at a young age, and I am afraid that it was not simple because I was forced by my parents and teachers. However, my empress has not had any works and deeds that have been praised at all except for some evil preaching and cult songs, and I should also lower my body and praise the two of them.

Lei Jieben listened with his eyes down, and after hearing this, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the choir, and then raised his glass to me and said, "The female monarch is too famous." ”

I also replied, "The lord is too humble, and this is well deserved." ”

After drinking it all, Lei Jue continued to look at me with a smile and said, "Who did the lyrics and songs?" ”

I was embarrassed for a while and said, "I changed it." ”

"Who's the original?"

I lowered my voice and said, "I don't know, I forgot." Even if I remember, no one knows anyone here. ”

Lei Jue slightly raised the eyebrow on the right, as if he understood what I meant, and then bowed slightly: "The momentum is magnificent, and the change is good." Can you give me a copy of the score? ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to Liuguang Pavilion after the banquet is over."

Lei Jue smiled: "Let's go to the next party, I also want to go to your place to sit." ”

The alarm bell shook loudly, and I thought my smile might have stiffened, and Lei Jue smiled: "Just go to your study." ”

"Ah, yes, yes, welcome." I picked up my glass again and took a sip to suppress it.

In the blink of an eye, the chanting has ended, and the next regular singing and dancing is not a feature of Xuancang, but it is still quite good.

During the singing and dancing intervals, I heard that the envoys of the night and my ministers had begun to comment on Di Heng's book "The Record of the Heaven-shattering Gods" in a few words, and I heard that one of the envoys of the night you sneered at this book, and Gong Chi and Pei Ang on my side also echoed it, saying that this is a rotten book that has no brains to praise the royal family surnamed Hao, and it is a big joke in the world.

I burst out laughing, and Lei Jue looked sideways and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Wiping off the wine squirting from the corner of my mouth, I waved my hand and said, "I think the story in "Shocking Divine Record" is quite interesting, such as Lu Zhishen uprooting the weeping willows. ”

"Lu Zhishen?"

"Ah no, Hao Zhishen, it's Hao Zhishen's other uncle, the one who was suppressed by Hao Yuan and couldn't turn over."

Lei decided: "Han Wang Haozhishen, the half-brother of Chen Wang Haoyuan, has been living in a simple house all the year round, and he is powerless to uproot the weeping willows." ”

"Hmm." I nodded, "That Haoyuan is not a concubine, I heard that Haozhishen is a serious prince, but unfortunately he was born late, and he was stunned by a concubine's brother Haoyuan, and he couldn't get up anymore." ”

Lei Jue toasted to me again and said, "Haoyuan's background and talent are not good, and it is quite strange that he can be a regent. I have sent someone to trace the source, and when I got the news, I sent someone to report it to you. ”

"Then thank you, the more news of this kind, the better, and it's good to listen to it and have fun." I toasted with both hands in return.

I saw that the opening atmosphere was good, and now that the people below were eating, drinking and chatting, I raised my glass again and toasted with Lei Duel and toasted to the ministers.

Look at Lei Jue again, he always smiled lightly, and the courtiers are separated from us on the stage of the performance, since they can't hear us talking, then I still have to settle the account with Lei Duan.
