Datang New Giants

Chapter 111 Uncle Guo fainted (second update)

Li Yuan held a large-scale banquet on the third day of the Lunar New Year. In addition to entertaining envoys from various countries, he also invited relatives and friends to pass the seat in the palace. Even the royal family must respect customs.

Yin Shiju was counted as Xiaoguo's uncle, and he was also invited even without fame.

As soon as he entered the Suzaku Gate, Yin Shiju was welcomed into the palace by the maids who had been waiting for a long time. Concubine Yin De, who was in charge of the harem, loved this younger brother the most.

The emperor gave rewards every now and then, and the concubines in the palace competed to please Concubine Yin De in order to be superior, and they gave them filial piety every year and festival. Those gifts were piled up like a mountain, and many of them had not been opened yet. Concubine Yin De let Yin Shiju choose by herself.

"Thank you, sister." Yin Shiju said happily.

Concubine Yin De patted Yin Shiju's shoulder lightly, looking at her younger brother who was still wounded, with a murderous look in her eyes, she said with some heartache: "We are sisters and brothers, why are you thanking me, brother, how dare the Du family do this?" Waiting for you, really don't need sister to vent your anger for you?"

The kid from the Du family beat up brother so badly. Concubine Yin De knew that she was about to go berserk and wanted to avenge him. She begged the emperor to put everyone in the Du family in prison. Even Xiao Guo’s uncle dared to beat him. Threatening can't retaliate, so I endured it.

Concubine Yin De didn't understand that brother was sent to the door to be beaten, he didn't fight back the whole time, and signed a life-and-death contract. She couldn't figure it out, and the always shrewd brother suddenly became stupid.

"Sister, it's really unnecessary." Yin Shiju said happily: "I will be able to avenge myself soon, and the pain I suffered will be repaid ten times."

Yin Shiju's heart became hot when he thought that he had practiced the golden bell jar of the peerless magic skill, hanged and beat the four farm slaves in Dachangjin by himself, and the people in Chang'an shouted "Great Ranger" when they saw him.

Concubine Yin De poked her younger brother's forehead lightly, and said helplessly: "All right, all right, you can do whatever you want, if you want Sister to help you vent your anger someday, just say it, if Sister is here, there will be no one in Tang Dynasty." can bully you."

Concubine Yin De really has nothing to do with this younger brother, and she doesn't know what he's up to, as long as he likes it.

While talking, a eunuch trotted in and said flatteringly: "Ms. Defei, the program list for the banquet is out. Please have a look at it."

The banquet held by the emperor is grand and lively, and the performances are in order. Before the start, Concubine De can see the list of performances, so that she can know what programs are on and when the programs she likes will be performed. If she doesn't like it, it's okay. Temporary adjustment.

Concubine Yin De was eating cakes from the palace for her younger brother, without raising her head, she said casually, "Read, let's see what interesting programs this year have."

"Old slave obeys." The eunuch responded, and quickly read aloud: "The list of banquet programs includes Jiaofangsi's song and dance "The Sun and Moon in the Tang Dynasty", the pipa solo "Touching Fish", "Wrestling of Wrestlers", "Jiu-jitsu" Drill Barrel", "Beauty Dances with Swords", and "Fire Breathing", "Oil Pan Extraction"."

Before he finished reading, Yin Shiju suddenly called out: "Wait, take something from the oil pan? What is this?"

The one who spoke was Defei’s younger brother, Xiaoguo’s uncle of Datang. The eunuch didn’t dare to be dissatisfied, and quickly explained: “If you go back to the uncle, getting things from the oil pan is a sideshow. The old slave happened to be present when the program was screened. It’s amazing to fish out the oil pan with bare hands.”

"Get something from the tumbling oil pan with bare hands? There are such strange people in the world?" Concubine Yin De also became curious.

The eunuch smiled, and hurriedly explained: "If you want to go back to your mother, these are all deceptive tricks, and you have tampered with the pot in advance. The oil in the pot seems to be very hot, but it is actually lukewarm. The magic is that it is lukewarm. It can only last for a short period of time, and after this time, the oil in the oil pan will be terribly hot again, as long as you grasp the timing well, even if you try to test it, you will not be able to find any flaws."

With a sound of "pa", something fell on the ground suddenly, Concubine Yin De's eyes flashed a trace of displeasure, thinking that the maid dropped something, she glanced at it, and found that it was the pastry in Brother's hand that fell on the ground, she asked anxiously : "Brother, are you okay? Is it a wound attack, do you want to send it to the imperial doctor?"

Yin Shiju, who was still rosy and energetic just now, seemed to be a different person, his face was pale and his eyes were dull, as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit, which shocked Concubine Yin De.

"Sister, it's okay. It's all right. I just missed it for a while, so I don't need to tell the imperial doctor." Yin Shiju said with a forced smile.

No, no, people who walk in the rivers and lakes are trying to cheat money. The expert I met must have real skills. By the way, he also drank so much wine later, he must have profound martial arts talent Melt down the wine, so that you will not get drunk after a thousand cups. That's right, the expert I met must be an expert, Yin Shiju secretly comforted himself.

Concubine Yin De felt relieved when she saw her younger brother's complexion turned better, and his eyes brightened, "Maybe you stayed here because you were unwell, which hurt your vitality. Sister asked the imperial dining room to make a few cups of tonic soup, and I will give it to you in a while." Make it up."

Sending someone to inquire, saying that brother is not in any serious health condition, afraid that he would be bored, so he invited him into the palace to watch a play to relieve boredom, but he didn't expect that he was still not well, if she knew whether to invite him or not, Concubine Yin De felt a little upset in her heart, It's because the little eunuch who inquired didn't ask clearly, and rewarded him with forty boards later.

Waste, you can't do a little thing well, so what's the use of keeping it.

Yin Shiju responded, thanked Sister again, and sat there with some mixed feelings. For some reason, the uneasiness in his heart was always lingering.

"What else is there, tell me."

The eunuch hurriedly read the rest of the program list.

After listening to the program list, Concubine Yin De became more interested, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of new programs, this time I put my heart into it."

Without waiting for the eunuch to respond, Concubine Yin De said with some concern: "So many people have been invited this time. Those barbarians like to toast His Majesty the most. I'm afraid His Majesty will get drunk again, and he will go to court tomorrow."

These days there were endless feasts in the palace, Li Yuan was drunk several times, every time he vomited and vomited, Concubine Yin De was both helpless and pity.

The eunuch quickly said: "My lady, please don't worry. Doctor Zhang recently got a secret recipe from the folks. He made a small ball of hangover and put it in his mouth. The wine will be dissolved before he spits it out. Drinking is like drinking water. No matter how much you drink, you won't get drunk, no matter how much the emperor drinks, tomorrow's court meeting will definitely not be delayed."

Speaking of this, the eunuch suddenly widened his eyes and shouted in panic: "Uncle Guo has fainted, Madam, Uncle Guo has fainted."

Concubine Yin De turned her head to look, she couldn't help being startled, she saw her younger brother Yin Shiju fainted on the ground with a pale face, and her body was still twitching, she was so frightened that she shouted disregarding her manners: "Hurry up, Chuanyu!" Doctor, send the imperial doctor quickly"

The holiday on Yuan Day is three days before and three days after the festival, a total of seven days including Yuan Day. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, officials have to clean up and return to their original posts. The next holiday will not be until Shangyuan Festival.

Lu Ting was not an official, but on the fourth day of the first lunar month, at three o'clock in the morning, he appeared in front of Prince Qin's mansion on time, ready to accept his first job.

It was useless to come early, Fang Xuanling and the others were going to attend the court meeting, which was explained when the Fang family handed down their seat.

I don't know what kind of position to arrange for myself.

It's better to come early than to come by coincidence. The guard who led the way said that Fang Xuanling and his party had just returned to Qin Palace in less than a quarter of an hour.

After entering Prince Qin's mansion, Lu Ting didn't see Fang Xuanling right away, a principal surnamed Li said that they were having a meeting in a secret room, and asked Lu Ting to wait in a side hall first.

Qin Palace serves Li Er, and all operations revolve around Li Er. Every time the court meeting is over, there will be a small meeting to summarize the gains and losses, and formulate corresponding countermeasures. Now the Turks are retreating, like Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuan The Prince's Mansion will definitely not let Ling, the backbone of Qin Wangfu who was transferred back to Chang'an through the war, now every court meeting is a contest.

Although the cunning rabbit didn't die, it ran away. Whether the running dog should be cooked, released or raised depends mainly on what the people in the Prince's Mansion think.

The best luck is Du Ruhui, stepping on Wei Zheng's position and snatching the servant of the household department, so he doesn't have to worry about being expelled from Chang'an for the time being. It is necessary to clean up and win over a batch, and it also needs a long-term plan.

It is still the fourth day of the first lunar month, and the atmosphere of the New Year is still strong, but the struggle between the Prince's Mansion and Qin Wang's Mansion has never stopped.
