Drunken Drama Colliers Chapter 15
Wine is the most beautiful expression of poetry, and I only show you the best side, that is the poetry of the wine fairy.
As Li Bai and the others hurried from the outskirts of Chang'an, a splendid castle gradually stood in the capital of Chang'an......
Chang'an, the capital ......
After arriving in the capital, Tang Xuanzong went to the horse, and instantly returned to the appearance of the emperor, and said more interestingly: "I have to review the chapter again, it's really boring." ”
Gao Lishi ordered the people to put the good horses away, and the guards at the door welcomed Tang Xuanzong's return in the style of a military general, and the young man in white saw that the wine on his waist was almost drunk, so he opened his mouth and asked Tang Xuanzong: "Shengshang, where is there a wine shop near here?" ”
Tang Xuanzong smiled awkwardly and said, "Taibai has no wine to drink?" There is no need for a winery, there is a lot of wine in the Imperial City, you can have as much as you want. ”
Li Bai happily replied: "It's so good, let's have a dozen first." ”
Tang Xuanzong returned to Xingqing Palace, Li Bai paced to follow, and Gao Lishi followed along.
Suddenly, Tang Xuanzong instructed a little eunuch to preach: "Help me go to the wine shop and get a few jars of century-old wine for Li Hanlin to enjoy." ”
The little eunuch responded politely when he heard the command, and then ran away quickly with small steps.
Li Bai said indifferently: "Shengshang, there is too much wine, too much." ”
After hearing this, Tang Xuanzong laughed and said: "Eh, I heard Brother Chen say that your last Yueyang Lou wine banquet was to use wine to play, which can be described as dripping!" ”
Li Bai touched his nose and sighed, "I didn't expect the news of the Holy Lord to be better than me." ”
Tang Xuanzong turned around and said to Gao Lishi: "Yuan Yi, you go and take care of the affairs first." ”
When Colliers heard the command, he bowed his hand and said goodbye......
Suddenly, a few little eunuchs came over with a few jars of fine wine, put it down in a sway, and then with a tom sound, it can be seen that the weight of the wine is heavy enough.
After Li Bai saw it, he hurriedly walked over, opened the cork, and sniffed a few sips gently, the aroma of sake that came to his nose was intoxicating, and there was a hint of strength in this aroma.
Then Li Bai opened the other wine jars, and found that they were of different colors, and their tastes seemed to be light, strong, and tasteless, but they were undulating, and Li Bai sighed deeply: "This ...... This is really good wine, it is really different from what I saw outside, not bad, yes, all say that the treasures of the world are in the Imperial City of Chang'an, and when I saw it today, it was so! ”
Tang Xuanzong politely greeted and introduced: "It's good if Taibai likes it, these wines are Jiannan's Shochu Wine, Lingnan's Lingxi Wine, Boluo's Nine Wine, and Persia's Sanle Pulp, as well as Dashi's Malang Wine, wine, are all the best wines in my imperial city, I am in a happy mood today, Taibai drinks as much as I want, I pay." ”
Li Bai rubbed his hands and smiled unceremoniously: "That...... Is it really good? ”
Tang Xuanzong replied easily: "Well, drink as much as you like." ”
Li Bai thought to himself: I'm a good girl, labor and management have never seen so much wine in their lives, this wine is much better than the last time Du Fu's brother brought his daughter red Wow, well, no, I have to save some for Brother Yu......
Then Li Bai put some elixir in a small jade bottle and carefully put it into his arms.
Then he picked up the wine and drank it heartily, immediately opened the Jiannan Shochu Spring Wine and drank it, completely ignoring his personal image, and opened his mouth to Tang Xuanzong and said: "Holy Lord, you are also troubled to give a little meat, just drinking is not enough to enjoy it!" ”
Tang Xuanzong smiled happily: "Taibai is so casual, he deserves to be a talented artist, quasi!" ”
Then a few little eunuchs brought a large pile of cooked meat over and put it on Li Bai's table.
Li Bai glanced at it, and then said indifferently: "Then I'm not welcome." ”
Then Li Bai began to eat and drink, holding the cooked pig's trotters in one hand, holding the beef on the other hand, drinking wine, he had long forgotten the identity of the fairy in the wine, everything was left behind, without any distractions, he just ate and drank and had fun, the clouds in the imperial city gradually began to swim, from snow white to crimson, Tang Xuanzong saw this, and clapped his hands gently, and then a group of palace maids danced in the palace, Tang Xuanzong also silently drank a glass of Lingxi wine, the mellow aroma of the wine slowly spread out, slowly floating in the palace, The clouds of the imperial city also began to turn into the most beautiful fiery red sunset, and Li Bai shook his wine glass, gradually feeling a little drunk.
Suddenly, a guard rushed into the Xingqing Palace, and the courtiers saluted: "Report! Your Majesty, the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom asks to see you. ”
Tang Xuanzong wondered: "This envoy of the Bohai Kingdom will not come sooner or later, but he will come at this time, but the King of Bohai is not bad, and he can also have a good relationship with my Tang Dynasty, and he also enters the court every year to worship, at least give him a little thin noodles." ”
I saw Tang Xuanzong smile indifferently and said, "Xuan! ”
"The envoy of the Xuan Bohai Sea Kingdom enters the hall!" The guard shouted to the soldier at the door.
Then a well-dressed, short man, but with good facial features walked in and exercised etiquette, Tang Xuanzong saw this and asked, "You are the envoy sent by the Bohai Kingdom?" ”
The short man replied: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty has the aura of an emperor, and when I saw it today, it was really unusual. ”
Li Bai was quietly drinking wine next to him, tasting it lightly, his face was flushed, and he was slightly drunk, but he listened to the conversation between the two very carefully.
The envoy of the Bohai Kingdom continued: "Here are two boxes of night pearls, ten ivory sticks, and ten boxes of golden jewelry to show my country's respect for the Tang Dynasty. ”
Tang Xuanzong replied politely: "You will come this time, what kind of gifts do you bring, it really is." ”
The envoy of the Bohai Kingdom smiled indifferently and said, "It should be." ”
Tang Xuanzong smiled happily: "Come on, take it!" ”
Then a group of guards came up and removed the treasures in the chest.
Tang Xuanzong waved his hand and said, "You go on." ”
The envoy of the Bohai Kingdom stood up and said: "This letter represents my country's admiration for the Tang Dynasty, and I also invite the Son of Heaven to look at it. ”
Tang Xuanzong instructed the guards: "Submit it." ”
Then the guards took the book of the envoy of the Bohai State and handed it to Tang Xuanzong, only to see Tang Xuanzong open the book and take a look, only to see that the font was not cursive or official, and the strange-shaped symbols could not be understood at all.
Seeing that Tang Xuanzong looked anxious, the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
Tang Xuanzong instructed: "The civil officials of the six departments will come to know this font." ”
After a while, the civil officials of the six departments gathered here, and I saw that all the people opened the book and saw that none of them knew this script.
Xuanzong said angrily: "I am a dignified Tang Dynasty, many talented civil officials, how can I be stumped by a letter, no one recognizes one of these words, I don't know what words to say, this is spread, what do others think of my Datang, isn't it going to be laughed at by neighboring countries?" ”
I saw that many civil officials in the six ministries were frightened and didn't dare to speak out, and they didn't dare to respond for a long time, and their backs were cold and hot.
Suddenly, Tang Xuanzong looked at Li Bai on the side, and asked with a smile: "Can Taibai know this book?" ”
Li Bai seemed to be half drunk and half awake, looked at Tang Xuanzong in the hall and said: "I once saw Fanwen when I was in the Western Regions, I don't know if this is it, you can pass it to me." ”
After that, the civil servants handed over the book.
Li Bai looked at it, smiled and replied: "The Bohai Kingdom has always had close contacts with the Tang Dynasty, and is known as the country of the eastern part of the Haidong. ”
The envoy of the Bohai Kingdom replied: "Exactly. ”
Tang Xuanzong praised happily: "Or Taibai has a way, if you know this article, can you help me write a reply edict?" ”
Li Bai thought for a moment, and thought in his heart: "Reply? Bohai State? Wasn't Brother Gao named the Duke of Bohai County? Haha, looks like I'm going to have to tease him. ”
Then Li Bai said: "Yes, but there is a request below!" ”
Tang Xuanzong said politely: "You say, what request? ”
Li Bai took advantage of his drunkenness and smiled indifferently: "I have a little foot pain recently, and I want to ask my senior brother to help me take off my boots, is it okay?" ”
After hearing this, Tang Xuanzong replied easily: "It's okay, I didn't expect Taibai to have such a hobby!" I promised you and immediately asked Yuan Yi to help you. ”
Tang Xuanzong beckoned his hand and ordered: "Pass Gaolishi to Xingqing Palace!" I have something to tell him. ”
Seeing the beckoning, Gao Lishi rushed to the palace and hurriedly asked, "Holy Lord, what do you command?" ”
Tang Xuanzong said unhurriedly: "Yuan Yi, I promised Taibai to let you help him take off his boots, and he helped me write a reply edict, what do you think?" ”
Gao Lishi's face was cold and hot for a while, his face was pale, and he responded: "Holy Lord, won't Li Hanlin take it off himself?" ”
Li Bai looked at the two people who were talking, and said with a smile: "Ouch, my feet hurt a little today, so I'm in trouble with Brother Gao." ”
Gao Lishi looked at the person in front of him helplessly, and swallowed his anger in response to Xuanzong: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Then he helped Li Bai take off his stinky boots, and Gao Lishi covered his nose to show respect.
Li Bai stretched his waist and began to write back the edict in Fanwen.
In less than a while, it has been written, and the handwriting is stunningly beautiful, elegant and free.
Then he handed over the edict to the envoy of the Bohai State, and Xuanzong sent soldiers to escort the envoy of the Bohai State to the outside of Chang'an City.
Xuanzong looked at the sullen Gao Lishi on the side, and said with a soothing smile: "Okay, you have been wronged." ”
Gao Lishi responded: "No, I know that Li Hanlin is just drunk, it's okay." ”
Tang Xuanzong laughed and said, "That's good, that's good." ”
The autumn of Chang'an passed slowly, and the Central Plains was also clothed in silver......
