Chapter Sixty-Nine: Four Glasses of Wine

Li Luodi walked to the last row and switched places with 327.

The thin scholar saw that Li Luodi was in the top nineteen positions, and ran over.

"Your dad is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and the dad just now is Taichang Shaoqing, the two seem to be of the same grade!" Li Luodi sat down next to Wang Fatzi.

Hearing this, Wang Jie looked like a bitter melon, and said sullenly, "The grade is the same, so I can't scare people." ”

"Besides, it's normal for people to ignore me if they rank much higher than me."

After speaking, Wang Fatzi looked around, and then mysteriously leaned beside Li Luodi and said strangely, "How do you feel that today's scene doesn't look like a court exam, but like a banquet." ”

Li Luodi stroked his chin, and after thinking for a while, he whispered to Wang Fatzi, "Today's banquet is to receive the envoys of Western Xia. ”

"My dad told me about this."

"I also mentioned that this court examination is very likely to be related to this Western Xia envoy!"

Yes, this is the power of the father, which is like himself, he has to pay the price of two altars of glass fire to get the news.

Just when the two were chatting with each other, a voice as sharp as a duck boy suddenly came.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The noise suddenly stopped, and everyone present, without exception, fell to their knees and bowed their heads deeply.

This damn evil feudal society. Li Luodi scolded in his heart, although he was not convinced, he still honestly followed everyone and knelt on the ground.

In the sound of golden drums, Emperor Xiao Wu, surrounded by the eunuchs and palace maids and several ministers such as Shen Cangbai, strode towards the upper seat.

Dressed in a golden dragon robe, his long body is even taller, and the noble aura makes people dare not look at each other, and the dragon with the clouds on his chest is looking down on everyone with his teeth and claws.

When Emperor Xiao Wu sat on the top of the high platform, everyone present spoke in unison and shouted loudly in worship.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"All the ministers are flat!" Emperor Xiao Wudi's black-gold eyes showed the domineering spirit of the emperor, and he held it with his empty hand.

"Emperor Xie!"

Then everyone got up, and sat down honestly, dressed and dangerous, with their eyes and ears in one.

After getting up, Li Luodi risked great disrespect and secretly glanced at Emperor Xiao Wu. Sure enough, the people who could be emperors in ancient times had different aura, momentum, and spontaneous imperial domineering.

At this time, the great eunuch Li Lianying stepped forward, pinched her throat, and said sharply, "Xuanxi Xia envoy to meet you!" ”

"Xuanxi Xia envoy to meet you!"

"Xuanxi Xia envoy to meet you!"

Voices rose and fell one after another, shouting from the mouths of the eunuchs waiting at each gate.

After a while, Liao Huaiying took Wu Yue'er and his party to the center of the field.

"Liao Huaiying, the envoy of Western Xia!"

"Western Xia envoy Wu Yue'er!"

"The envoy of Western Xia...."

"Participate in the Son of Heaven, long live, long live, long live!"

"The envoys of the Western Xia are flat!"

"Thank you, the Son of Heaven!"

"Come, give me a seat!"

After Liao Huaiying and the others thanked him, he was taken by the two eunuchs to the position of the second few princes on the right to take a seat.

At this time, Zeng Tai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, vaguely got the approval of Emperor Xiao Wu, so he stood up, moistened his throat, and said loudly.

"The emperor's grace is vast, the age is in the middle of the year, he makes great efforts, he is virtuous and innovative, he observes the people's hidden things, and the provincial punishment is reduced ....."

"Our country and Western Xia are willing to form a brotherly alliance, maintain friendly relations, and have a strip of water...."

Zeng Taiyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was sprinkled with words, talked eloquently, and read a big bara.

As a modern person, Li Luodi listens to this kind of as if listening to politics, his eyelids are heavy, and he is full of anger.

After carefully looking around, I noticed that everyone was listening attentively and attentively.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the fat man who sits on three hundred and twenty-eight, the last position.

Their location was remote, except for a few guards in the distance behind them.

At this time, Wang Fatzi was eating the fruits and pastries in front of the table, and the above read him, and Wang Fatzi ate him.

The two cheeks were stuffed slowly, and said vaguely, "Brother Li, why don't you eat?" ”

Hearing this, the corners of Li Luodi's mouth twitched, and after quietly observing the surroundings, he whispered, "The banquet hasn't started yet, so if you eat first, I'm afraid it will be rude to be caught." ”

Wang Jie seemed to have choked on the pastry, and hurriedly searched for water, holding his neck with one hand, and his eyelids rolled up.

Brother Li Luodi was speechless for a moment and handed him a glass of water.

Wang Fatzi took the water, drank it all, and instantly felt that his throat was much more comfortable and his breathing was smooth.

Wang Fatzi gasped and said slowly, "It's okay, my father was afraid that I would be hungry, so he greeted Yu Linwei in the back." ”

"Eat with confidence! Brother Li, you eat too. After that, Wang Fatzi handed Li Luodi a piece of pastry and continued to devote himself to the dry rice.

Hearing this, the corners of Li Luodi's mouth pulled slightly, these two wonderful father and son.

Zeng Tai didn't know how long he had been singing, anyway, the more he talked, the more energetic he became, until he finished speaking, he realized that his throat was slightly sore and his mouth was dry.

Seeing that the process was almost complete, Emperor Xiao Wu immediately picked up a glass of wine on the table, slowly got up, and showed the spirit of the emperor in his gestures.

"This first cup of wine, to the envoys of Western Xia, may the friendship between the two countries last forever!"

"Respect the envoys of the Western Xia, may the friendship between the two countries last forever." Hundreds of civil and military officials, imperial relatives and relatives stood up one after another, facing the direction of the Western Xia envoy, and toasted in the void.

Li Luodi also picked up the wine glass and pretended to be with everyone. By the way, I pulled up the fat man who was still eating Haisai.

"The envoys were afraid, and the envoys had the courage to replace my king, and responded to this glass of wine, and may the friendship between the two countries last forever."

Liao Huaiying was flattered, and hurriedly stood up with the envoys, raising his glass with both hands, bending his body at ninety degrees, and respectfully.

As Emperor Xiao Wu drank it all, everyone hurriedly picked up the wine glass, put it to their lips, and dried it up.

Even if you don't drink, you pinch your nose and bear the spiciness, a sip of stuffiness.

Is it spicy or exaggerated? Li Luodi smelled this wine, and felt that in addition to being a little fragrant, there was nothing special.

After drinking it all, I didn't feel anything, just like adding a little liquor to plain water.

"This second cup of wine, the widow must respect and protect all the border guards of the Ming Dynasty, without your bloody battle."

"Sacrifice life and forget death, brave and good at fighting, there will be no splendid mountains and rivers in the Ming Dynasty, and the people will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment, you should be the first to take the lead!"

"To all the sergeants!"

Emperor Xiao Wudi's words brought tears to the eyes of the soldiers present and their blood boiled. I only felt that a stream of blood was about to break through the Tianling Gai, and I couldn't wait to pick up the knife and get on the horse, kill all the enemies, and serve the court.

After everyone finished their second glass of wine.

Emperor Xiao Wu took the third cup of wine handed by the palace maid, and said loudly, "This third cup of wine, respect the widow's civil and military minister." ”

"It is your hard work, conscientiousness, and day and night that have made my Ming Zhou prosperous, and the country and the people are safe...."

"This glass of wine, the widow respects you!"

"Emperor Xie!"

"It is my duty to share the sorrows of the saints"

The faces of the civil and military officials were slightly red, and they couldn't control the excitement in their hearts, and their breathing suddenly became short, impassioned.

After three cups, everyone thought it was over.

Who knew that Emperor Xiao Wu picked up the fourth glass of wine again, looking at everything proudly, "This fourth cup of wine, to all the scholars on this year's high school list and the students who regret that their names have fallen to Sun Mountain." ”

"It is precisely because of you that the country will be prosperous, the country will be rich and the people will be strong."

"It is also with you that I will be a hundred years old in the Ming Dynasty, and I will be happy for a long time."

"You are the hope of Daming Zhou."

"In the future, as a parent, you must learn to listen more, watch more, learn more, maintain an original heart, and enforce the law impartially."

"Ministers, follow the widows to pay tribute to the pillars of the future of the Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Baiguan got up and raised his glass with both hands, "Respect the future pillars of the country in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

The scholars, seeing the emperor and the ministers toasting themselves, were stunned, followed by ecstasy, their faces were flushed, and the excitement in their hearts was like a torrent rushing straight to their heads, unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and they were in a hurry to find the wine glass.

"Thank you, long live your emperor, long live, long live!" The scholars were ecstatic and impassioned.

"This Emperor Xiao Wu is demagogic and has two brushes!" Not to mention other people, even Li Luodi, a modern person, feels that his brain has been washed with a brush.

All the scholars who were named to toast were surprised and full of energy.

At this time, Emperor Xiao Wu asked them to eat Yoneda Gong, and Li Luodi believed that this group of people would definitely run around, and he would pat himself on the back and say that Yoneda Gong is really fragrant.

Of course, among this group of people, there is one person who is an exception, that is, Wang Fatzi, who has been eating from beginning to end.

Well, by the way, Li Luodi's share was almost wiped out.

After Emperor Xiao Wu finally put down the wine glass, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "Play music, dance, let the envoys of Western Xia and Zhong Aiqing eat to their heart's content." ”

When the words fell, the musicians who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly showed their talents, and the beautiful music set off a beginning for the excitement of the banquet.

Hundreds of graceful dancing girls are like blooming flower buds, spreading out to all sides, and in the rain of flowers, eight beautiful white-clothed women appear like orchids in the hollow valley, and with their light and graceful dancing posture, the banquet is pushed to a climax again.

The fundraising is staggered, the drums are singing, the singing and dancing are leveling, the light songs and dances are full of laughter, and the fragrance of wine is intoxicating to the hearts of several people.
