Chapter 57: The Celebration Banquet

In order to show that he would not rebel in the future, Wolf Zhengxuan handed over his five or six thousand men to Li Gesang for command.

Li Gesang knew that the situation in the capital was urgently needed to be cleaned up, nodded in agreement, and returned to the palace with the Tang Dynasty and other heroes.

When he came to Zhengyangmen, Li Gesang sighed: "I can't imagine that Nanzhao has been peaceful for 20 years, and now the war is raging again, I don't know how to take revenge on the Tang Dynasty this time, how to win or lose?" ”

The Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the ancients have a saying that 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse', although the Tang Dynasty is now empty of garrisons, but the land is vast and rich, even if it wins for a while, but it may not be able to protect the victory, if Nanzhao is deep in the war, it may not be easy to extricate himself." ”

Li Gesang smiled and said: "My son-in-law's words make a lot of sense, after this change, Nanzhao will not recover without the strength of three years and five years, it is not easy to recover, this king will not rashly start a war with the Tang Dynasty, it depends on the meaning of the Turks and the Tubo Hui and other countries." ”

When Tang Chao heard this, he and Li Bai looked at each other and smiled, knowing that even if they had to embarrass themselves, it would be at least a few years later.

Wolf Zhengxuan's rebellion this time, the dynasty was sluggish, Li Gesang ordered the army to be controlled by his henchmen Tie Ning, except for the 8,000 forbidden troops, all stationed outside the city, tidying up the palace one by one, and following the old system.

Tang Dynasty and Li Bai were placed in the "Qilin Pavilion" state guesthouse to relieve the fatigue of a long time.

The two of them slept heavily, but they didn't realize that it was already dark, and the moonlight did not wake them up until a eunuch came to call.

As soon as the Tang Dynasty asked, the eunuch said sharply: "The emperor has a big banquet on the inkstone, and the second is invited to the banquet at the beginning of the first hour." ”

Tang Chao was overjoyed: "Got it." ”

Turning his head to Li Bai, he said, "Brother Li Bai, this must be a celebration banquet, let's go quickly!" ”

But the strange thing is that after shouting several times, Li Bai was silent, Tang Chao was shocked, grabbed Li Bai's cover and saw where his figure was, and he went unconsciously.

Suddenly saw a silk paper on the bed is very conspicuous, take a look at it, very surprised, only to see the dragon flying phoenix dance on the paper written six big characters "farewell to the Tang Dynasty my brother", the font below is very small, but the silver hook iron painting, although it is a small silk paper, but it can be seen that the writer chest of the top of the hills, is: this trip to the south, although the matter of the sword soldiers, but in the white is just idle things, fortunately the one has a day to brother, Bai Ping's life is also lucky. I hope to find Princess Qinglian as soon as possible, form a family, Bai is the most disgusted with mundane things, and dare not claim to be a little credit to the prince, and I hope that my brother will tell him on his behalf, borrow the covenant of the soldiers, and please do it together!

There are a few lines of small words below: Thinking about the bright moonlight in front of the bed at night, it is suspected that it is frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown.

There is another line of small words: I am out of custody, I suddenly saw the moonlight in front of the bed tonight, I missed my wife at home, and I left in a hurry.

The inscription is "Li Bai".

The Tang Dynasty liked Li Bai's poems since he was a child, and when he was two or three years old, this poem was already able to be recited. At that moment, he carefully put away Li Bai's silk paper, put it in his arms, and then washed it and went to Li Gesang's state banquet.

The Tang Dynasty was received like a hero, and when it was still dozens of zhang away, Li Gesang said loudly: "Virtuous son-in-law, come here and sit with this king!" ”

In front of countless courtiers, this "virtuous son-in-law" called, Tang Chao's heart was happy, he decided to marry his beautiful Princess Li Lian to himself, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty Father-in-law, the Tang Dynasty has kowtowed to you!" ”

These nine heads, that's a lot of excitement.

The courtiers knew that the Tang Dynasty was Li Gesang's concubine, but they didn't expect good things to come so quickly.

After Tang Dynasty kowtowed, he came to Li Gesang's side, and Li Gesang ordered him to stand with Prince Fuhu to accompany him, which was to treat his own son, and Tang Dynasty was grateful.

At that time, Nanzhao had not yet been fully civilized, except for the emperor, only the position of the three dukes was set up, and under the three dukes, the post of Jiuqing was established in accordance with the Tang Dynasty system. At Li Gesang's table, only Wolf Zhengxuan and King Xinyue had already arrived and sat down, while the other two high-ranking officials of the imperial court, Situ Mengying and Sikong Liu Wenjing, had already arrived, but they did not dare to sit down.

Li Gesang laughed and pressed the two of them against the chair, and the two dared to sit down. Next, Tie Ning made a great contribution to the country, and everyone pushed him to sit down, and then the special letter and so on, according to the amount of credit, arranged the seats one by one, but the position of the most honorable guest next to Li Gesang was empty.

Tang Chao's heart was bright, and that position was for Brother Li Bai.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Gesang began to ask: "Tang Dynasty, didn't you sleep with Li Bai, you came, why hasn't he come yet?" ”

Tang Dynasty respectfully took out a letter written on silk paper from his body and handed it to Li Gesang.

Li Gesang Zhanxin looked at it and stumbled and said: "This king has always wanted to keep Li Daxia as an official in Nanzhao, but I didn't expect him to miss his hometown, so he hurriedly returned to his hometown, it's a pity!" At that moment, Li Bai's poem was read out in public, "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground." Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. Good poetry, really good poetry. ”

After that, he drank all the wine in the cup, and said: "Li Bai has great ambitions, and he will not value the invitation of this king, but Li Daxia is in a hurry, and my emperor has been lost and regained, Li Daxia really has a great merit, he does not want to stay for a long time, this king has to drink a cup by himself, it is considered that Li Daxia drank my celebration wine!" ”

Everyone was moved, reciting "Silent Night Thoughts" together, and remembering Li Bai's heroic bones.

Since then, this poem has been widely circulated in Nanzhao and has been immortalized for thousands of years.

Next, Li Gesang suddenly raised his glass and said to Tang Dynasty: "Tang Dynasty, although you are my son-in-law, but at this time, this king must still count your merits one by one, not to mention anything else, you saved my life in Yi Village, and Yu Wang and Lang'er have the grace of recreation, just this credit, this king will not be able to repay your love for the rest of his life, but, fortunately, this king has a beautiful daughter married to you, which is a small compensation for you." You used a strategy to capture the Yi soldiers, risked your life to go to the Shewa army to plot against Nalong, and saw through the strategy of the wolf Zhengxuan and my brother to attack the west, for our army, it is all a great achievement of survival and survival, and this king has it in mind. Forgive you, you and all the princes should also keep in mind one by one, if you can't make a contribution to the Tang Dynasty, then the throne of Emperor Nanzhao in the future will be the Tang Dynasty! ”

When Tang Dynasty heard this, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, although the Tang Dynasty has a small merit, but its martial arts are inferior, and it is not the heir of His Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will take back his life, and the Tang Dynasty will never inherit the throne of Nanzhao!" ”

This sentence is the heart of the Tang Dynasty, he is not very old, and he doesn't know what his goals are, but he just thinks that if he can spend his life with a beautiful princess like Li Lian, it will be the most wonderful thing in the world, and he never thought that he might inherit the Nanzhao national unity in the future.

In fact, he said this when Li Gesang escaped from Yi Village, but he didn't expect that when he talked about meritorious deeds today, Li Gesang said it again, which made the Tang Dynasty have to believe it, he always knew that what the emperor said was absolutely unchanged, saying that he might be the heir of Nanzhao in the future, that is.

Seeing that Tang Dynasty was so surprised, Li Gesang smiled, gave the cup in his hand to Tang Dynasty, motioned to the master of ceremonies to pour another cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, the king of Japan said this when he first came out of Yi Village, but at that time, although the king's life was gained, it is unknown whether he can regain the throne, you don't pay attention to it, but today the king has been successfully restored, what he said is the holy decree, do you respect the decree?" ”

Tang Chao knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, you treat me like this, I, I really can't stand it!" ”

Li Gesang laughed: "What can't you stand it? If even you can't stand it, no one in the whole world can stand it, this king said, you are my tenth prince of the Tang Dynasty, as long as you attack the Tang Dynasty in the future, you do your best, the throne of the Nanzhao Emperor will definitely be yours! Come, today is a day of celebration, what tears, drink! ”

Tang Chao hurriedly touched him and drank it all.

Then Li Gesang ordered the other nine sons to toast the Tang Dynasty together, affirming that the Tang Dynasty had actually saved their lives, and asked them to agree that they would love each other in the future.

The princes obeyed the orders one by one, knowing that their talents were too far from Prince Fuhu, and they had no idea of seizing the throne. Seeing that Prince Fuhu seems to have been compared to the Tang Dynasty, he feels that the throne is hopeless, and they are all very respectful to the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Dynasty secretly felt interesting, these princes were all good, and some of them were much older than themselves, but they treated themselves like elders.
