According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, when the prince of the great family ascends to the branch or is promoted to a court official, he will hold a feast and hold a "roasted tail banquet" to entertain the emperor to express his gratitude. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The banquet after the Dragon Gate Test was also taken from the meaning of the dragon burning the tail and going straight to the clouds.

A sword seal Marquis Xue Duanliu once wrote an inscription at the banquet: "A leap into the dragon gate is a green cloud, and the sea is wide and the sky is high." ”

Slightly different from the past, the cost of this banquet was borne by the students, but the "afraid of his wife like a tiger" Wu Sai Wine Lord, with a hot brain, decided to pay out of his own pocket.

The original team that participated in the Longmen test gathered on the tower of Chengtianmen City, received some instructions, and then at the suggestion of His Majesty the Emperor, went to the Wuxi Restaurant for a banquet.

Of course, the most important condition is also left after the banquet.

In the Tang Dynasty officialdom, Udelu, who has always been known for his stinginess, invited guests, and for the first time in history, all the colleagues who were invited were happy to attend the banquet.

The list of people who went to the banquet before, as well as the recipe of the food tent, had been presented to His Majesty for preview, and Udelu was trembling, lest something go wrong.

The one who is tasked with guarding is Tian Qianfeng, the general of the Divine Marksman, and there are Praetorian Guards ambushed in the streets and alleys around Wufu.

Li Longji came in a light robe and came in a chariot, but the other officials and the four top leaders were in ox carts.

The mansion of Wuxian wine is not very large, but the windows are clean and clean.

Welcoming the emperor into the warm pavilion, Udelu thanked the emperor for his kindness, and greeted his colleagues who came to appreciate the light one by one.

The rest of the people arranged four or five tables in the flower hall connected to the Warm Pavilion, all of which were candidates whom His Majesty the Emperor nodded and agreed.

The people at the same table with His Majesty the Emperor include Yao Changqi and his wife, the head of the Bu family, the great worship of Bai Yunsheng in front of the emperor, the Holy Mother of Starfish and Ten Thousand Flowers, the Marquis Xue Xuanliu with a sword, the dead wood of the national teacher, and the Ye Mufeng of the heavenly master.

Bu Shishu stayed behind his father and served as a guard.

Since there were only four people in the top three in front of the Dragon Gate, Zhang Jinxuan did not attend the banquet because of something, and there were only three people left, and His Majesty the Emperor ordered that the other eighteen students who were playing should be recruited to make up enough for two tables.

The first time Udelu invited a guest, and the person he invited was His Majesty the Emperor, so he was naturally more attentive than usual, and sent the fierce wife who "couldn't get on the stage" back to her parents' house early.

The banquet had just begun, and the eunuch Gao Lishi, who came with him, approached the warm pavilion and saw that His Majesty was in high spirits, and he stopped talking.

Li Longji had already seen that the demeanor of this loyal eunuch leader was wrong, and he tasted the shredded mandarin fish, and then asked slowly, "What's the trouble?"

Gao Lishi bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Lu is still kneeling in front of the gate of Wufu. General Tian advised him not to pay for it. ”

"Then let him kneel, not to mention that I have already told him that the disaster relief property has already been allocated, and Xinyi County is not under his jurisdiction, no matter how obsessed he is, I will investigate him for the crime of leaving his post without permission!"

The emperor spoke loudly, and all the officials in the flower hall were so frightened that they all put down their chopsticks and looked at His Majesty in the warm pavilion carefully.

Gao Lishi rubbed his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Eunyou is the order of Huaide County, and Xinyi County is next to it, and it is said that Lu Eunyou bought the ancestral house, and all the silver obtained was used for disaster relief, and his son also gave up the Longmen test for this reason and went to Xinyi to help the victims." ”

Li Longji listened and was silent.

Lu Eunyou is upright by nature, and he can't rub a little sand in his eyes, last time Li Longji just put him out of death row, and before his official position was restored, he made several outspoken remarks, and counted several major failures of the new emperor, and his mouth was unabashed, which made His Majesty the emperor red-faced.

Just ascended the throne, the young emperor who was strong in blood thought that this was an affront to his imperial power, and sent him to the wild land of Lingnan to make a county order in a fit of anger.

Li Longji suddenly softened his heart, putting this aside, Lu Huanyou was actually a good official, he thought for a moment, and said leisurely: "This Lu Huanyou has never eaten such a rich banquet, since he is here, let him in." ”

"Yes!" Gao Lishi couldn't hide the joy in his words, and hurriedly ran out of Wufu.

Finally knowing Lu Wuxian's whereabouts, Zhuo Zangfeng's hanging heart relaxed, no wonder the last time he went to Lu Mansion, the owner had changed.

After a while, Lu Xianling, who had patches on his clothes, followed Gao Lishi into the flower hall.

Lu Eunyou didn't look around, walked to the warm pavilion, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, the disaster in Lubian County is serious, and the relief money from the imperial court is less than a ......."

"Enough!" Li Longji was furious, "I still have the heart to let you go to the banquet, but you are so ignorant of lifting, since you like to kneel, kneel there!"

The officials in the flower hall saw that Long Yan was furious, and no one dared to intercede for Lu Yanyou.

The gray-haired county commander knelt on the ground, his back straight, and this kneeling posture gave people a sense of iron.

Countless servants of the vegetable passed back and forth between the warm pavilions of the flower hall, and Lu Eun did not move, like a high mountain.

The head of the Bu family didn't hear anything else, and only came for marriage.

The banquet originally also arranged some dance repertoire, which was canceled by order of His Majesty the Emperor, seeing that everyone was full of wine and food, Li Longji ordered Gao Lishi to summon Zhuo Zangfeng, and he was ready to listen to the condition of the top of the Dragon Gate.

Needless to say, His Majesty the Emperor had long known what conditions Zhuo Zangfeng would propose, and staying after the banquet was the result of discussions with Yao Changqi and his wife.

It is worth mentioning that as the most enthusiastic Yue Lao Ning King before, it is strange that he did not attend the banquet this time.

In the words of Li Longji's brother-in-law Yao Caiwei, "My imperial brother, everything that offends people is blamed on his third brother." ”

In fact, after King Ning courted for the Bu family, he remembered the marriage contract between Yao Caiwei and Zhuo Zangfeng, and he also came forward by himself at that time, and then thought about it, and felt that what he did was inconsistent, and he was suspected of being unfair in dealing with the poor and loving the rich, so he simply dismissed the matter.

It is not surprising that King Ning has always been indecisive, but His Majesty the Emperor is determined to complete the Bujia.

In fact, as for the conditions that Zhuo Zangfeng was about to propose, everyone in the warm pavilion knew it.

At this moment, the banquet was canceled because of the appearance of Lu You, Li Longji frowned slightly, and Gao Lishi on the side immediately understood the emperor's intentions, and shouted in a sharp voice:

"Zhuo Zangfeng, the top of the Dragon Gate list, stepped forward to see him!"

Since His Majesty the Emperor is right under his nose, the students who usually have no scruples dare not be presumptuous, and the wine is just quoted casually, but it is too noisy.

Zhuo Zangfeng was not good at drinking, no one persuaded him to drink, and he drank two glasses at random, and when he heard Gao Lishi's call, he got up and sat down, and slowly walked outside the warm pavilion.

There is a beaded curtain in the flower hall and the warm pavilion, which only plays a decorative role and cannot block the view.

"Qifeng Mountain grass people Zhuo Zangfeng has seen His Majesty the Emperor!"

So far, this is the first time to meet the Tang Emperor.

"Excuse me!"

Li Longji's voice was calm, but there was a sense of majesty.

"According to the regulations of the Longmen Great Test, you have the right to put forward a condition to me, as long as you do not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty and do not violate the worldly people, I will satisfy you. ”

Zhuo Zangfeng was silent, his expression was calm, neither as sincere and fearful as others, nor did he have the slightest intention of thanking.

"But before you make any conditions, I want to tell you something. ”

Li Longji looked at the young man behind the bead curtain with burning eyes, ready to let him retreat. (To be continued.) )
