Datang Fenghua Road

"Brother Chengqian, don't be arrogant, my younger brother has shallow power in the army. I am indeed not as good as you in this regard, but can you compare with him?"

This "he" can be said from King Wei's mouth, and he doesn't need to think about it to know that it refers to Han Yue.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then he shook his robe sleeves fiercely, and said coldly, "Although brother Wei can't compare to him, I can at least compare. Qingque, you are pitiful. There are a group of useless scholars in the house. There is a lotus flower in the mouth, and there is no plan in the chest..."

When he said this, he suddenly possessed himself, and approached Li Tai's ear and said: "If the old events of Xuanwu Sect repeat one day in the future, can you group of scholars be able to go to the battlefield? …”

Li Tai's complexion changed slightly, and he was about to retort, when suddenly more than a dozen horses came running from a distance, and one of them laughed loudly: "The two princes have arrived early? What are you doing standing there, hurry into the palace, I am old tonight Cheng wants to drink to his heart's content."

It was Li Jicheng Yaojin and others who came. A dozen or so princes hula la got off their horses, and the armored soldiers stationed at the gate of the palace stepped forward to check, then bowed and stepped back quickly.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai hummed softly at the same time, and walked straight into the palace.After that, old Cheng kept laughing, hooking shoulders with more than a dozen princes, and soon entered the palace gate...

……

At this time, the night was blurry. It was the beginning of the lanterns. There were red lanterns hanging everywhere in the palace. Countless armoured soldiers patrolled back and forth. There were dozens of great masters hiding in the dark. people.

As time passed, more and more feasters entered the palace, and everyone followed the path all the way across the Jinshui Bridge, then bypassed the Taiji Hall of the previous dynasty, and finally came to the Lizheng Hall on the east side of the palace.

The Tang Palace has four major palace groups, one of which is the Taiji Palace, where the emperor handles political affairs.The second is Li Yuan's Da'an Palace, which was turned into a seclusion place for the Emperor Taishang.The third is the Prince's East Palace. Because Li Chengqian was cut, the East Palace is now vacant.

The last palace group is the Lizheng Palace. This palace group has eight buildings in total, covering an area of ​​670 mu. It is divided into two courtyards, the front and the back.

The courtyard in front of the Lizheng Hall has two halls, where every time the royal family holds a large banquet.

There are six palaces in the back courtyard, but foreign ministers are not allowed to set foot in it at night, because it belongs to the harem category, and the palace of Empress Changsun is there.

At this time, it is the second quarter of the eighth hour, which is eight o'clock in the evening when converted into later generations. The summer breeze is as cool as water, and the flowers and trees in the palace are singing and cicadas are singing. , Li Shimin's figure wrapped around a screen.

The emperor came in a long march, followed by the eldest grandson of the lotus, followed by the four main concubines and four concubines, and three Jieyu with children in their arms.

In fact, Jieyu can no longer be regarded as a concubine. Her position is much lower than that of concubines, and she is only slightly older than a talented person. It is said that Jieyu is not eligible to participate in royal banquets, but these three Jieyu have all given birth to princes. So these three Jieyu dipped in the light of their sons.

Li Shimin's eyes slowly swept away, and he found that the hall was full of people attending the banquet, and countless palace maids were already carrying dishes and cloths, but because he and the queen hadn't arrived, no one used chopsticks to eat and drink.

Han Yue also arrived early. It was the first time he attended this kind of banquet, and he didn't understand all the etiquette. In the end, he sat somewhere under the guidance of a palace maid, looked around for a while, and found that he had a table to himself.

The maid who pointed him was the queen's personal maid. After she arranged for Han Yue to sit down, she asked the eunuch to bring a table and four chairs to the side, and then respectfully invited the four daughters of Doudou to sit in between.

This famous hall is called the matching table. In ancient times, the status of women was not high. When attending a banquet, they could only sit beside her husband. For example, the table of the eldest grandson was next to Li Shimin. Although she was the queen of a country, she also sat at the matching table.

The palace maid was very clever in her work, and specially set up a table of light and delicious dishes for the four women, including ginseng bird's nest and shark fin soup and other valuable supplements, obviously she used her mind.

Doudou's heart is the most kind. Seeing her busy schedule, she couldn't help but want to thank her, but the palace maid suddenly giggled and said in a low voice, "Don't blame the four princesses, we women can't be in the master position, so slaves can only Do some tricks from the dishes..."

She glanced left and right, and continued in a low voice: "These ginseng bird's nests can only be enjoyed by the empress and the concubine. I secretly instructed the imperial kitchen to make an additional copy. It's better for the concubines not to say it..."

This is a gesture of goodwill, and it is also a kind of affection. Han Xiao rolled his eyes a few times, and suddenly took off a bracelet from his wrist and stuffed it to the palace maid: "Sister has been working hard all night, and I will give you this thing to wear. "

The palace maid was taken aback, shook her head repeatedly and rebuffed: "I have seen this bracelet before, it is the empress's favorite thing, the maid rewarded you out of love, how dare I, a little palace maid, dare to wear this."

"If you want to take it, you can take it!" Han Xiao shoved the bracelet with all his might, and hehe said, "If you don't take it, you will look down on me, and if you look down on me, you will look down on my husband."

The palace maid was stunned and turned to take a peek at Han Yue. She didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly her pretty face was rosy and feverish...

……

At this moment, Li Shimin laughed loudly, and raised his voice: "Why are you Aiqing so reluctant to use chopsticks? Come and come, although tonight is a royal dinner for the royal family, it is also a celebration feast in the court. Put up the wine glasses, let's drink a cup together..."

The emperor has orders, who dares not to obey?In the hall, both the royal family and the courtiers stood up respectfully, and took a sip of wine.

After the first glass of wine, the representative banquet officially started.

Tonight is a banquet for the royal family as well as a celebration banquet. The celebration will involve rewards. Cheng Yaojin suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the grasslands have been calmed down now. The Turkic War has shocked the world. One million people were killed and ten million prisoners were captured. It can be called the greatest victory since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and I ask Your Majesty to reward you so as to comfort the hearts of the soldiers."

As soon as these words were said, needles fell in the hall, and many people's eyes flashed quietly, and they secretly said in their hearts: "It's about to start!"

Du Ruhui stroked his beard with a smile on his face, turned his head to Fang Xuanling and said in a low voice: "Cheng Zhijie is best at falsely reporting military exploits, and now he is the number one pawn under King Zhao of the Western Mansion. It's true."

The old man nodded slowly and said lightly, "That's how it should be!"

The two prime ministers glanced at each other, then raised their eyes to see Li Shimin's face, as did everyone in the hall, everyone wanted to see the emperor's reaction.

I saw Li Shimin taking a sip of the wine glass, and kept nodding: "Since ancient times, there will be rewards for meritorious deeds. If you treat those who have meritorious deeds harshly, who will be loyal to the country in the future?"

He slowly pondered for a while, and suddenly asked Cheng Yaojin: "Zhijie, you are not only the founding father of the country, but also come from a family in the military. Why don't you come and give me a suggestion on how to reward me this time."

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone in the audience was astonished. Suddenly a general stood up in the hall and retorted loudly: "Your Majesty must not do this. Cheng Zhijie likes to exaggerate his military achievements. How dare you ask him to suggest rewards? Fang Caichen listened to him He is so angry, he clearly killed 50 people, but he falsely reported that he killed 100 million people, and clearly captured 30 people, but he falsely reported 1000 million prisoners, this is extremely shameless, I beg your Majesty to punish him severely..."

Cheng Yaojin was furious, jumped up and cursed: "Fuck your grandma, we obviously captured 430 million prisoners, how did it become 30 in your mouth? Erase the big head and say nothing, those 400 million prisoners of war Let you eat it?"

The military commander folded his arms and giggled, deliberately seductively said: "Just now you said 1000 million, why is it now 430 million?"

Cheng Yaojin didn't even think about it, pointed to his nose and scolded: "Isn't it okay for me to falsely report military exploits, Your Majesty still won't expose it, how old are you? Who's crotch is not clipped tonight, and you are a grandson leaked out..."

Hob knife meat is hob knife meat, and he doesn't care if the other party lures him to tell the truth.Lao Cheng not only admitted that he had falsely reported his military exploits, but also called the other party an idiot.

The general was furious and shouted sharply, "Crap with the surname Cheng, there is a kind of us going out to the palace to fight, believe it or not, I will kill you."

"Bah!" Cheng Yaojin spit out a mouthful of spit, and said with disdain: "If you want to fight with Lao Tzu, your mother is not qualified..."

"Everyone is a prince, why is this old man not qualified?"

Old Cheng Niu rolled his eyes and said with a hum: "So what if it's all the princes, His Majesty once said that the princes and the princes are actually very different. You have only fought a few victories, and you have a lot of military exploits... "

The general sneered and said loudly: "You have won many battles, do you have a lot of military exploits?"

Old Cheng laughed and said proudly: "You really asked the right person, although we won not many battles, but one battle is worth a hundred battles for you, this time to pacify the Turks in the grasslands, and win the battle in the first battle. Lihan account, I was the vanguard of the left wing at that time..."

The general's face was stunned, and he was suddenly muffled and unable to speak.

Military exploits are combat exploits, this is a real record, and no one can slander it.

Han Yue has been sitting upright, as if he didn't hear the quarrel between Lao Cheng and the general. The maid from earlier quietly came to his table and said in a low voice: "My lord needs to be more careful. This person is called Wushi Xun, who was named Duke Ying of the Tang Dynasty. He is the governor of Lizhou. He is an old man who followed the emperor. In the past, the East Palace had the prince's left and right guards. This warrior Xun served as the commander of the guards, with a total of 3 troops under his command..."

Han Yue didn't seem to hear it. He poured himself a drink with the jug, and suddenly smiled and said, "This wine is not good. It tastes too weak. It is not as strong as the high-quality wine brewed by this king."

The palace maid was stunned and wanted to continue, but Han Yue waved his hand gently, signaling her to stop talking.

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly got up and stood up, holding a cup in his hand and smiling faintly, and said, "Cheng Zhijie doesn't need to fight anymore, Samurai Yu doesn't need to be ashamed, I have been thinking about the award for a long time, you all sit down."

Lao Cheng hurriedly handed over, and Samurai Yu also bowed.

Li Shimin glanced at the hall slowly, and suddenly shouted at Han Yue: "I can't stand up yet, hurry up and listen to the seal!"

Chapter 390

The emperor opened his mouth to drink, obviously wanting to directly announce the reward, Han Yue could only bite the bullet and stand up in front of everyone's eyes, and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin.
