Chapter 71: Xiangyang Banquet
A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance!
Outside Xiangyang City, Liu Biao, dressed in a purple costume with a high crown, led officials of all sizes to welcome Liu Qi, who returned triumphantly.
At this time, Liu Biao's face was full of red light, his bearing was graceful, and his bearing as a member of the Han family was undoubted, and the royal family was very strong.
The father is proud of his son, and Liu Biao is supporting his son, and he is also saving face for himself.
Parents all hope that their son will become a dragon, especially in despair, seeing their son who is not a good person leap into a dragon, the excitement and pride in their hearts can be imagined.
Liu Qi retreated 300,000 Cao soldiers, defeated the invincible Cao Cao, became the hero of Jingzhou, and became the pride of Liu Biao.
In the earth-shattering drum music and the cheers of the people, Liu Qi turned over and dismounted, stepped forward with Zhang Fei, Gan Ning and other generals, and bowed down.
Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard and praised: "It's really a general of the bear and tiger!" Wu'er can achieve this great feat, all thanks to the generals. β
Gan Ning also sighed, thinking that when he arrived in Xiangyang, it was rare to even see Liu Biao's face, and today he personally greeted and praised him, which shows how important it is to meet the master.
"Da Lang, good job!" Liu Pan came up from the crowd, grabbed Liu Qi's arm, and now completely believed in Liu Qi's ability, and said in a low voice: "This battle made Cao Jun lose his armor, and your reputation is far better than that of Uncle Huang." β
Liu Qi patted his arm: "The Han family has not yet been revitalized, you and I still need to work hard!" β
Liu Pan laughed and said, "You and my brother, it is incumbent on you!" β
The mansion is full of lights and noisy voices, but the same venue is no longer human, Liu Bei and Cai Mao disappeared in the long river of history.
Liu Biao sat on the main seat, and the officials of the famous places were lined up on both sides, and today it can be said that the elites of Xiangyang are almost all here, and some of them have never even seen Liu Qi.
In addition to the funeral of the Huang family, there were several wealthy families such as the Xi family and the Ma family, and the children of the family came one after another, which was not only a great opportunity for mutual friendship but also for self-expression.
Of course, what caught Liu Qi's attention the most was the white-eyed Ma Liang in the Ma family's five constants, who was in his early twenties and looked tepid, but the little brother next to him, his eyes were looking forward to it, and he swept over the young children from time to time, pouting with disdain.
Liu Qi has long been accustomed to these social things, because the father and son look alike, Liu Biao will take him with him at every event, and it will not be rude to deal with it.
After seeing the ceremony, Liu Biao stood up and praised Liu Qi's merits to everyone, and by the way, Cao Cao was reprimanded, especially for using human flesh for food and grass, and even scolded him for being inhumane and unworthy of serving the Son of Heaven.
In the past, he didn't dare to offend Cao Cao, he always disobeyed the yang and the yin, but now he has his son to support him, and he is full of confidence, and he also took the opportunity to take a bad breath.
After a generous speech, Liu Biao raised his glass and said: "Today, my son returned from a great victory, set up a banquet to celebrate, so far a good day and auspicious day, I should hold a crown ceremony for the dog, Jingzhou's matter, in the future, I will appoint the dog, and I hope that you will help each other, protect Jingzhou, and help the Han room." β
Everyone nodded when they heard this, the crown ceremony is a sign of a person's formal adulthood, Liu Qi fell out of favor because of illness in the past few years, and was suppressed by the Cai family, and at the age of eighteen, he didn't even hold the crown ceremony, and the words were not taken, which is really embarrassing to think about.
Song Zhong and Qi Wuhong presided over the crown ceremony, and Song Zhong praised Liu Qi's conduct as jade, the quality of Qi Wei, outstanding and extraordinary, taking the word Bo Wei, achieving great achievements, and shining through the ages.
Liu Qi also wore a purple ribbon crown and saluted everyone one by one, from now on, we are also people with ID cards!
After the ceremony, Liu Biao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My son's great achievement is deeply worthy of the hope of the people of Jingzhou, and he should also show his heart to his colleagues in charge of the state and county in the future." β
Liu Qi knew that this was for him to take the opportunity to establish his prestige, stood up and looked around at everyone, hugged his fists and said: "Since the eunuch bullied the monarch and Dong Zhuo rebelled, the world has fallen apart, and my father has entered Jingzhou on horseback. Just not talented, willing to inherit the father's will, the joint army will turn to fight thousands of miles away, rebellious to serve all over the world, and now by the emperor's uncle to be lonely, want to rejuvenate the Han family, deeply feel the responsibility and the long way to go, since the effort to serve the country, respect the virtuous and love the people, and uphold the righteousness in the world. β
A bold remark, which not only praised Liu Biao like a spring breeze, but also made everyone present look at Liu Qi with admiration.
In the midst of admiration, only one person said: "The victory of the eldest prince is really the luck of the Han family!" At today's event, only wine is not enough fun, can you write a poem to help the wine? β
Liu Qizheng felt that what he said just now was not in place, and someone actually asked him to compose poems to help the fun, this is simply a divine assist!
I was secretly happy in my heart, but I hugged my fists and said: "Today's group of heroes is gathered, and they are not talented, how dare they get an axe?" β
Someone laughed and said, "Why should the eldest prince be humble? You left a poem in Shuijing Villa, we didn't have a chance to see it, today's event, but also the song to sing the Zhi, we listen to it. β
Liu Qi glanced at Liu Biao and saw that he was smiling, knowing that it was time to show his true strength.
Then he gently tidied up his clothes, raised the wine shackles, left the table and walked to the hall, hugged his fists and said: "In this case, I will be ugly below......
When you sing about wine, life is geometric!
For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past.
Be generous and unforgettable.
How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang. β
I saw Liu Qi singing while walking, his temperament was dusty, and there was a chic and heroic spirit in his weakness, especially the last two sentences, which made people express their hearts and exclaim happily.
Yuefu poetry has been extremely mature in the late Han Dynasty, coupled with the influence of Hongdu Sect Studies, four-word and five-word poems have become the current trend, and Liu Qi uses Cao Cao's works, all of which are amazing.
In the midst of applause and shaking his head, Liu Qi stepped on the unique dance steps of a genius of the Han Dynasty and continued to chant:
"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart.
But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far.
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples.
I have guests, drummers and shengs.
It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done?
Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off.
The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep.
Zhou Gong vomited, and the world returned to the heartββ"
At the end of the song, the hall was full of surprise, not only because it was done in one go, but also because Liu Qi's mind and heart of worrying about the country and the people were touched.
Generous and heroic with sorrow, and comparing himself with Zhou Gong, how can a sincere heart not be moving?
"Good poetry, good poetry......"
Someone applauded, which immediately caused a cheer, with such talent and mind, who would dare to say that Liu Qi was sick and incompetent?
"Ugly, ugly!" Liu Qi returned to his position and raised his glass to everyone: "Throw bricks and lead the jade below, let you laugh." β
The next banquet became more and more lively, some people fought fists and wines, some people fought poems, and even two young children came to a sword competition, which was also quite exciting.
The happiest person today is Liu Biao, who was drunk and carried down early, with a satisfied smile on his face.
At the end of the banquet, it was already dusk, Liu Qi finally finished entertaining, and couldn't wait to rush back to the backyard of the house, and I don't know what the situation is now.
