The Second Storm Rises in Chang'an Chapter 328 "Yuan Ri"
Lu Chen rolled his eyes directly, looking at the several princes who were stealing food there, originally Lu Chen bowed his head and secretly ate alone, but these people bowed their heads and secretly ate together, and it was difficult not to be discovered.
Suddenly, the civil officials on the other side all turned their eyes to Lu Chen's side, and those princes still bowed their heads and made a fierce attack! In the main hall, there are various officials who offer to Li Yuan!
Li Yuan, who was sitting behind the dragon book case, was still happily looking at the tributes, his eyes swept over the ministers, and he was a little proud in his heart, but when he found that those civil officials actually didn't look at themselves, but looked at the other side, Li Yuan chuckled in his heart and felt that something was wrong.
When Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen's side, he immediately understood what was going on, and Li Yuan couldn't help but secretly make a decision in his heart: "In the future, as long as there is no need, you must not let Lu Chen come to the court, this guy will be a moth once he comes!" ”
Li Yuan wasn't angry about Lu Chen's stealing of food, mainly because he saw those guys eating, he didn't have to eat, after such a long ceremony, he was still the king of a country, and he still had to hold the shelf, but he was also a human being, and he was also hungry!
Those civil officials looked at Lu Chen and they were secretly eating there, and they couldn't help but lick their lips.
Li Yuan didn't even hear the tribute official say what he was paying tribute to, and when Li Yuan withdrew his gaze to look at the official, there was already some embarrassment on the official's face.
"Palm Lamp!" Li Yuan gave Chang Bao a look, and Chang Bao directly announced in a loud voice.
The word "palm lamp" means that the dinner has begun, and the ceremony of paying tribute in front of it has ended, and many officials feel disappointed because they have not been able to make offerings.
As Chang Bao's voice came out, there were suddenly attendants and palace maids who lit candles and lanterns, and suddenly the entire Taiji Hall lit up.
"Feast!" Chang Bao shouted again, and suddenly palace maids began to come in one after another, placing dishes and wine jugs on the small table in front of everyone.
Before the dinner began, it was natural that Li Yuan wanted to say something first, in Lu Chen's opinion, this was no different from the leadership lectures of later generations, so Lu Chen directly belonged to the kind of left ear listening to the right ear.
After Li Yuan finished speaking, it was naturally the beginning of the banquet, after Li Yuan brought a few cups, it was the ministers who drank the banquet by themselves, and Li Yuan invited the ministers to the banquet on Yuan Zhengri, which naturally needed to be accompanied by singing and dancing.
In Lu Chen's view, this dance is similar to a ritual of exorcism, in which a boy wearing a ghost mask dances and sings with the instrument in his hand.
At first, Lu Chen thought it was these boys performing, but these boys jumped and jumped, and Li Zhongwen, who was too Changqing, directly joined the ranks with some family officials, and directly saw Lu Chen's eyes widen, Lu Chen never thought that these family officials still have such a "cute" side, and the "bewitching" posture directly made Lu Chen's appetite for food disappear.
"Brother Cheng, are they like this every year?" Lu Chen, who was wiping his mouth with a brocade hand, looked at Cheng Yanjin with a speechless expression and asked.
"It's a custom all year round!" Cheng Biting Jin chewed the meat in his mouth, turned his head to look at Lu Chen, and explained very casually.
"These guys are really arrogant!" Looking at the dancing posture of those civil officials, Lu Chen nodded and said.
The dance ended after a while, and the rest was naturally that those literati began to "show off", and all kinds of poems were opposed, of course, many of them were singing praises of virtue, and Lu Chen had goosebumps on his body when he heard it directly.
It's okay to pat yourself on the back! It's okay to shoot the emperor's horses! But it was so explicit and made others applaud it, it was really a little unacceptable, Lu Chen couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.
"Lu Xiangong, why sigh?" Lu Chen's shaking of his head was directly seen by the official who had just made a poem, and he immediately looked at Lu Chen with some displeasure and asked.
"I'm a little tired! Move the neck and just move! Lu Chen looked at the official, Lu Chen didn't understand what his shaking had to do with him, so he said it nonchalantly.
"Oh!" The official directly said a meaningful "oh", the meaning of which was self-evident, and at this time, many civil officials suddenly stopped the chopsticks in their hands, yes
He put down his wine glass and looked at the official one after another, with only one meaning in his eyes, "head iron".
"Pei Qi, don't be presumptuous!" And the scene of the confrontation between this official and Lu Chen naturally fell into the eyes of Pei Lian, who was talking and laughing with Xiao Yu and others, as soon as Pei Lin saw the official, his heart suddenly burst out, this official was none other than his nephew Puzhou Sima Pei Qi.
"Pei Qi?!" Originally, Lu Chen didn't want to worry about the official in front of him, but as soon as he heard this person's name, Lu Chen immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Qi with interest.
This Pei Qi's name, he didn't forget, Xu Gaofeng and the others left their hometown at the beginning, but it was thanks to him, as for the back, Lu Chen didn't trouble him, but he sent Xu Gaofeng and the others' family gifts out of the country, I didn't expect that at the Taiji Hall banquet on this Yuan Zhengri, he would actually see him, according to his official position, he should not be qualified to come in, so Lu Chen couldn't help but set his eyes on Pei Lian, obviously if there was no leader from this uncle, I'm afraid this Pei Qi wouldn't be able to get in, right?
"You are Pei Qi?" Lu Chen looked up at Pei Qi who was standing in front of him and asked.
"The next official is Pei Qi!" Originally, he dared to run out to offer a poem just now, but because he drank a few more cups of Tusu wine, and saw Lu Chen shaking his head after chanting his poems, he directly questioned Lu Chen, but when Lu Chen asked like this just now, Pei Qi woke up seven points with this wine, and directly regretted that he had talked to Lu Chen.
After all, he knows his own family affairs, but there is a big and small holiday between him and Lu Chen! Lu Chen never bothered him, and even made him forget about it.
"Hmm!" Lu Chen nodded, "Be a good official!" "Today is Yuan Zhengri, Lu Chen doesn't want to spoil Li Yuan's interest here, and at the same time, Lu Chen doesn't want to block himself on this year's big day, so he directly told Pei Qi indifferently, and there is no follow-up.
"Thank you Lu County Gong for mentioning it!" After Pei Qi respectfully saluted Lu Chen, he walked back to his position and sat down, only then did he realize that just by making eye contact with Lu Chen just now, his back was sweating.
Pei Lin saw that Lu Chen did not embarrass his nephew, and nodded directly at Lu Chen, which was regarded as thanking Lu Chen, but Lu Chen smiled and nodded with Pei Lian.
"Lu Aiqing!" Li Yuan, who was sitting behind the Long Shu case and talking to Concubine Wan Guifei, saw all these things just now, so when Pei Qi returned to his position, Li Yuan directly called Lu Chen.
As soon as Li Yuan spoke, the Taiji Hall suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at Lu Chen.
"The minister is here!" Hearing Li Yuan shouting to himself, Lu Chen got up and saluted Li Yuan.
"I heard that your Lu County Gong is known as 'Poetry and Words', didn't you think of anything on today's happy day?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen with a smile and asked.
"'Poetry and words'?!" Hearing the nickname Li Yuan gave him, Lu Chen was directly stunned, some said that he was "loss", some said that he was "clean street tiger", but I had never heard of someone calling himself "poetry and words", this thing Lu Chen felt that he was scolding him, at his level, where did he come from's "poetry and words", according to Lu Chen's own definition of himself, that is just a "little handling expert".
But now Lu Chen can't refute anything, this is what Li Yuan said, when the emperor of the dynasty, the emperor said that he was "unique in poetry and words", then even if he is not, he has to be!
Li Yuan's words obviously wanted him to behave.
'Ahem!' The title of 'Poetry and Words', the minister does not dare to take it, but if it is a poem, the minister really thought of one! Lu Chen said to Li Yuan with a smile.
"Oh? It seems that if I hadn't named you, I'm afraid you would have to hide it! As soon as he heard Lu Chen say that there was a poem, Li Yuan said with a smile.
"Then the minister will be ugly!" Lu Chen saluted Li Yuan, and at the same time looked around at the ministers in the Taiji Palace, "The poem is called "Yuan Ri"!" Lu Chen saluted Li Yuan again, and in his heart he accused Wang Anshi of a crime.
"The sound of firecrackers in the year old except,
The spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.
Thousands of households,
Always replace the new peach with the old charm. ”
"Ugly! Ugly! After Lu Chen finished reciting this poem "Yuan Ri", he smiled directly at Li Yuan and those civil and military ministers again.
As Lu Chen's song "Yuan Ri" came out, the hall suddenly fell silent for a while, and then many people recited it.
"Good poetry! Good poetry! Reward! Li Yuan directly stroked his beard and laughed, "Come on!" Give Lu County three horses of silk and satin, and reward a thousand gold! Li Yuan immediately announced the reward to Lu Chen loudly, and the officials who had recited poems in front of him all looked at Lu Chen with envious eyes, they were struggling to sing praises of virtue, and the most was only a hundred gold, but when they arrived at Lu Chen, it was silk and a thousand gold, it was really better than a human being!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Chen bowed to Li Yuan and thanked him for the reward.
"Lu Xiangong!" Just as Lu Chen was about to return to his position, a delicate voice stopped Lu Chen, Lu Chen stopped, turned to look, and saw Wan Guifei sitting next to Li Yuan looking at him with a smile.
"I don't know what the mother commands?" Lu Chen asked at Concubine Wan Shili.
"I just heard the word 'firecracker' mentioned in your poem "Yuan Ri", I don't know what this firecracker is?" Wan Guifei looked at Lu Chen and asked with a smile.
When Lu Chen heard Wan Guifei's culture, he was suddenly shocked, he just thought about the situation, but he forgot that this "firecracker" had not yet appeared at this time! Suddenly, Lu Chen began to think about countermeasures!
