Chapter one hundred and ninety

Chapter 190

Banquets in the Tang Dynasty were very conscious, usually arranged in a relatively open place, and then curtains would be hung on all sides, so that no matter day or night, lights would be lit inside, so that people could not feel the passage of time.

Li Xiangling's brothers and sisters came forward to greet each other one by one, and they looked respectful and orderly. However, the intimacy always made Li Zao feel that there was something wrong, a bit deliberate and alienated.

It's not so much brothers and sisters, it's better to say it's the kind of politeness between colleagues in the officialdom, but she doesn't know what brothers and sisters in the world look like, so it can only be regarded as this, right?

And Li Xiangling instinctively felt uncomfortable. Compared with Li Zao and sisters' way of getting along, it was too weird, but the attitude of the father was much more normal.

Compared with the previous indifference, it is a little more intimate, but not too affectionate. It is more like the taste of an old father who wants to be close but can't hold back his face after his daughter left home when he was young.

This fully reflects the difference in acting skills between Huang Fu and the prince. Of course, it may not be all acting skills. After all, a truly brilliant acting skill is seven parts of truth and three parts of falsehood. Happy, but it's not that there is no family affection.

If Li Xiangling had been in the palace for a long time, with so many children, he would not have paid much attention to it, but this distance left a deep impression on the contrary, and there would still be some parental reactions in it.

It's just that how much weight this family affection can occupy in an emperor's heart, and whether it can influence his judgment is hard to say. Anyway, Li Xiangling's status is different.

He had to treat her as a political object, not as an insignificant concubine's daughter.

This means that you can't ignore it regardless of the importance, and you must consider the relationship between the two parties, the pros and cons of the two parties, and conflicts. Once you have to pay attention, it is difficult to say that there will not be so much truth in it. It's just acting skills, even if [-]% of it is true, it will be false after all.

Since it is a formal banquet, it also represents a certain kind of statement. Naturally, not only Li Xiangling's own brothers and sisters are there, but also officials from the court and various scholars. As an emperor, he naturally regards this daughter as a heavyweight prize at the first time. Chess pieces on the board

The power of the clan and nobles is still on the rise, and the problem of new feudal towns has begun to emerge again. As an emperor who is not in the right position (coup to power), he must rely on the power of the clan behind him to a certain extent, or he can take the position itself. The reason for this is inside.

Without military power, and my grandmother's reform of the military system proved to be a failure in the end, in this case, it is naturally difficult to play the game of throwing ten balls with one hand, and even so, the country is indeed declining day by day.

Grandmother and grandfather spent two generations of hard work, and the family members who died of envy showed signs of resurgence. Great-grandfather and grandfather used the imperial examination method to successfully snatch away part of the talents. Most of the underprivileged families have to rely on the powerful families to be promoted.

The imperial examinations in the early Tang Dynasty were not as perfect as later ones, and it was not in some historical texts that the introduction of the imperial examinations with a half-knowledge could hit the elites, because the test papers, that is, in addition to the official test papers, there is also a small paper to vote for those wealthy families Nobles, only in this way can you win the election.

White body reference definitely does not have any fame. Although it did limit the expansion of the family to a certain extent, the effect was not good. It was not until Wu Zhou that Wu Zetian implemented the earliest obfuscation system, which further really hit the face of the family. superior.

However, at this time, academics are indeed monopolized by the elites, even if they are not famous, if the reference scholars are all funded and backgrounded by the elites, what is the point?

9

So, Wu Zetian got a copper box again, not only to receive reports, but also to receive all kinds of policy theories and poems sent by real poor scholars. Deal with these whistleblowers and nonsense articles.

【So, after reading what King Luo Bin wrote, he said that the prime minister should be chopped off—what did you review? 】

But here comes the problem, these measures are now abolished, because of political correctness, relying on the downfall of the military to come to power, the grandmother's policies, whether good or bad, can only be abolished without discrimination. Isn't the purpose of supporting him to come to power is these policies Is it too threatening?

With no talents, no military strength, no military power, the only way to play the balance game is by political means, so it is only a matter of time before one day it is played off, and at this time, Li Xiangling, who seems to have a successful immortal cultivator, comes back. A heavyweight chess piece.

Ordinary immortal cultivators would not participate in government affairs and this kind of infighting between rich and powerful families, because it is meaningless and tainted with karma, and the most important thing is that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But if the immortal cultivator is a member of the royal family, then this question is a bit serious. No one can guarantee that if he has gone too far, will a flying sword come to cut his head and invite other high-level people, let alone whether the other party will If you join in for a little money, even if you do—a mercenary for money and a daughter who fights for her father, how can that be compared?

■

What's even more embarrassing is that this is still a princess. If you support her, it will be the biggest political incorrectness of this dynasty. If you dare to do it, the emperor will dare to bring out his grandmother's set of things that dig everyone's roots—— In terms of political skills, he is better than his grandmother!

The most frightening thing is that when the time comes, the emperor will tell Li Xiangling that the copper chamber will be under your control—letting an orthodox monk successfully escape the dangers of the inner palace, resulting in pure nature

Good, and maybe even a cultivator who hates evil to manage letters and visits—what kind of black joke is this! ?

In other words, this is an exchange condition thrown out by the emperor, either we play normally, or we don't play at all. However, the three people who actually attended the banquet were completely unaware of the intrigue at the dinner table.

The two foxes were going to eat at someone else's house, so naturally they didn't want to participate in other people's family affairs, but Li Xiangling didn't see it at all. After all, this wasn't her siblings' immature ensemble acting skills. She is a fine showman, she can tell that these people don't have to hang out in the court.

As a pure rice cooker, I am concerned about the noodles themselves. First of all, cold dishes, Wu Xing and fresh, sashimi made of high-quality local carp in Wu Xing, which is different from the pure sashimi dipped in soy sauce in Japan. It is divided into two types, one is the type that uses black rice and rice bran as fermented materials for canning and fermentation, and the other is the type that is not fermented in cans.

Also known as "Linglong Peony Su", it is made of fish slices in the shape of leaves and buckets in the shape of peonies. It is placed in a cup, and its color is reddish like that of newly bloomed peonies. It is a dish that can be viewed and eaten. Good food.

It tastes tender and smooth, with a slightly fermented sweet and sour taste, no need for dipping sauce, and no earthy smell at all.

"Junior Sister Susu's craftsmanship is indeed far behind that of a court chef." Li Xiangling said with a smile. After all, she is a girl. Under the circumstances of the difference between men and women, there are not many officials who take the initiative to toast, and brothers and sisters are almost done. No matter how courteous the old man is, he will wonder if he has other ideas.

Therefore, Li Xiangling naturally relaxed, drinking and eating meat at ease. The emperor sitting in the upper position saw this and nodded slightly. It seems that this daughter is indeed the same. This is the best, don't stay in the court And in the court, this innocence can always be maintained.

No one understands better than the emperor how rare the heart of a child is, although he himself does not

He disdained to be this kind of person, but he was happy to see such people around him, as if bad people also like to make friends with good people.

"This is really delicious! Little Twelve" "Well, yes, the fish eaten on the mountain have a lot of fishy smell?"

"Sixth sister, don't you want to eat so fast?"

"But it's really delicious, isn't it?"

"Huh? 0? 0"

“嗯？”X3,"0-0?0A0?0?0?”青发的小女孩伸

She just grabbed a piece of fish on the plate and stuffed it into her mouth, completely ignoring other people's gazes, and other people, including those maids who came and went, didn't notice her appearance.

"Don't look at it, just pretend you didn't see it." Li Zao stopped Li Xiangling from reaching out her hand in time. She asked the head teacher this question. What should I do if I see a girl who looks like the statue on the mountain?The teacher's answer is: I don't think I saw it.

There are hundreds of dishes in the whole banquet, and the Tang Dynasty adopts a meal-sharing system, that is, it is not eaten on a big table, and some dishes are only for members of the royal family, so the actual number of dishes will be more.

Since Li Zao and the others were actually eating, the green stuff turned around and left in distaste. Anyway, those officials don’t eat much. Two-legged beasts are so strange. Why are there so many of them if they don’t eat? 0- 0?

Except for the pure noodles that Huihui doesn't eat, such as the vegetarian steamed and sound part in the center and various pancakes, wontons and porridge soup, there are more than 30 meat dishes left.

Among them, the one that Huihui ate up the fastest was the water-refined calf, which stewed a half-year-old calf in clear water, and asked to "burn all the firepower" to stew the beef thoroughly, and then Huihui ate it all, so that The maid who came to lick the soup was surprised.

Fortunately, Li Zao smoothed things over in time: he said that because he had practiced Niu Sishu's skills, he ate a lot, so he was relieved. Anyway, can the royal family still starve to death?

In addition, there are some meat dishes, which were also eaten by Huihui, more than

For example, it is said that concentric knots (cut beef into long thin slices to form concentric knots, and then air-dry) and the like.

As for other meat dishes, the "Tonghua soft beef intestines" filled with sheep bone marrow and auxiliary ingredients are poured with cloves, and the clove oil is poured on the marinated fish, which is quickly eaten by Huihui.

As a result, when many officials came to their senses, there was nothing in front of the table, and some kind of strange memory disorder even occurred for a while, and they ate so much food without realizing it.

■

Because Li Zao said that the three of them needed more food because of their practice, so they didn't need the emperor's call, the eunuch next to them automatically ordered the kitchen to cook more hard dishes.

So, they ate Bailongyao (mandarin fish tenderloin hammered into a white dragon shape soup), Qingliangsu (civet cat broth), green onion vinegar chicken (steamed chicken), Xianrenyu (stewed chicken in milk soup), and even There are stir-fried dishes, yes, there are really stir-fried dishes-one-one-dunpao sauce (quickly stir-fried lamb and fish), sheepskin filaments (quickly stir-fried shredded lamb, the shredded pork is as thin as a dragon's beard and is two feet long), Xiaotiansu (venison and Chicken Quick Stir-Fry)O

However, there are some meat dishes that Huihui doesn’t eat. If Xiaoxiao is here, you will be surprised—the main ones are Xuebai (fried frogs), Zantouchun (roasted crane quail) and the like, because “Huihui doesn’t eat Xiaoxiao Minced meat o_o?".

But since most of them were eaten by Hui Hui, in fact, Li Zao and the others can only choose pastry foods with meat, such as gold and silver sandwiches (crab meat and crab roe sandwiched in burritos) cut open), crystal dragon and phoenix cake (made of glutinous rice, red dates and meat, and finally steamed until it blooms), and the staple food is Royal Yellow Queen Mother Rice—a rice bowl made of meat, eggs, and crab roe.

Because the people of the Tang Dynasty used to feast all night long, so this time, even the green things were eaten very well. From the noon of the previous day to the noon of the next day, there was naturally a break in the middle. I performed a show about what it means to wake up and continue to eat, and continue to eat when you are full. Sleep wonderfully.

Well, only Liuniang does this. In fact, most of them just

Close your eyes to keep healthy, take a short nap, really eating, drinking and having fun, Li Zao and the others are the only three in the audience, and there are blue things that only focus on eating.

Other people's minds are concentrated on all kinds of open and dark arrows, intrigues, and testing each other through banquets. On the contrary, the three pure pawns live carefree, just concentrate on eating—especially Liu Niang,—for the rest of their lives. Never had such good food

O

"OvO?" The cyan thing held a brush and carefully brushed the dipping sauce on the lambs in the hall. She disliked that eunuch's brushing skills were not up to standard, and the dipping sauce was not good enough due to the relationship of the times. , took out his secret sauce, and started brushing

Well, the common sauce without some poisonous salt, this dish is the so-called "Red Lamb Stick" (roasted whole lamb), the blue thing moved several grills over and occupied it for himself to roast, eat by yourself.

Due to the effect of some mysterious force, no one realized that something was wrong, and even the maids took the initiative to step aside, allowing her to fan the flames, smear the sauce, and use her claws as hand-pulled mutton to eat.

Next is a dish that must be experienced in banquets in the Tang Dynasty—Guotang sheep, the waiter will lead the live sheep over, the guests choose to eat and take a part, and then the waiter will make a mark, pull it down, take the meat and wrap it in silk The pot is steamed.

It seems a bit cruel, but people in this era do not have small animal protection, and this dish is not about eating, but about choosing—which part to choose is a kind of hidden benefit exchange and a status symbol of the guest and the host.” Even if it is not good to eat.

"0?0, I'm full, let's go!" The cyan thing left with a flick of its tail, and took away two sheep to pack.

Then, except for Li Zao, no one had enough to eat—because they didn’t realize that they didn’t eat their own food, they just thought that this kind of high-intensity political struggle was extremely exhausting. I ate two more

Only the cake can sleep.

Chapter 190 Two

Chapter 190 Two

Of course they will not stay overnight in the imperial palace. Although they intend to win over, they cannot stay in the forbidden palace overnight. Instead, they find a mansion outside.

"Do you want to learn swordsmanship?" The emperor frowned slightly, but he let go when he heard that it was some kind of experience required by the head teacher, "It's so easy to handle.

"Why don't you learn from the masters of the inner palace first?" Li Xiangling said.

"A master in the inner palace?" The emperor was startled, but he relaxed after a while, "Okay, you can find it yourself, this swordsmanship...forget it."

I wanted to ask if this is just ordinary swordsmanship, does it really have the possibility of longevity, but after thinking about it carefully, it is for the disciples to practice, probably just to experience it

O

If another prince and grandson ask him to learn martial arts from the inner palace master, Huo, then the end will not be like that of Li Xiangling. Acts of force by the palace or foreign court.

This usually happens, because Li Laoer has a good start, is he a Niu Temple in the capital of the Tang Dynasty? If he wants to think of Xuanwumen, he will be better to become the emperor, but he will almost lose it.

However, it is better for him to come here, because his grandfather and grandmother's generation was really kind and filial. Unfortunately, the prince did not live long enough to become emperor, and was pursued by Gaozong as emperor after his death. To be honest, Zhongzong and Ruizong were just like Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. If the elder brother Li Hong hadn't died of illness, they would not have been able to turn to them at all, and they had not been included in the consideration of successors from the beginning.

However, in the generation of his grandmother and father, the Tang Dynasty's consistent "

Father loving son filial piety" model, he himself launched a congenital coup to come to power, wiped out the aunt's party, and finally Ruizong could not return to power.

In fact, Li Longji was almost abolished. At that time, he was about to be thrown by Ruizong to patrol the border. Although Ruizong was Zen, he still held the power, but because of the weather, he gave a little buffer time [temporarily postponed to August].

At this point in time, he resolutely launched a congenital coup to regain power. From this point of view, Xuanzong was still very resourceful and decisive when he was young. It's just that... it makes people think that he was crossed halfway.

As a person who has participated in two coups and forced the emperor's uncle and father to abdicate successively, one can imagine how guarded he is against his prince. Looking forward, it was Li Laoer who started it; Look at Tang Long's coup d'etat with his father at one point, and look down at the congenital coup d'etat he staged.

Moreover, he personally led the troops in the two coups, and led the forbidden army to break the palace twice. No matter who it is, the first reaction is to hear that one of his sons and daughters wants to collude with the masters of the inner palace or the generals of the outer court to learn martial arts. That is: what?Do you want to learn from me too? [By the way, is this person really transmigrated?Looking at the process of his ascension, this buddy is also half an emperor on horseback]

However, Li Xiangling is different. She has already connected with a powerful military unit, and she sent it there by herself, so she will not have any problems contacting inner palace masters and generals.

This is a classic joke, why beware of the prince, because the prince may cut off his dog's head, why not guard against Li Xiangling, because Li Xiangling can really cut off his dog's head and take his bird position.

However, for the emperor, this kind of risk is worth taking. After all, the overseas fairy mountain is there. If you don’t send people to contact it, it won’t disappear by itself. Drive your own nails in.

As for outsiders and my own family, my own daughter is obviously more reliable, and there is another

The key consideration is that even if it is accidentally played off, the outsiders will be the ruin of the dynasty, and the family is just one more father who is kind and filial.

Penglai Palace, "Clang!" The sword hilt fell to the ground, and the strong man in front of him cupped his hands, "The princess has accepted."

"Are you releasing water?" Li Xiangling frowned, joking, the favored princess was looking for someone to compete with, that inner palace guard really dared to use the slashing method on the battlefield?What?What if you say you are not favored?Look, there are so many princes and grandchildren in the inner palace, which one is allowed to learn martial arts from the imperial guards?The prince didn't dare to say anything.

And this one actually went to ask the emperor, and the emperor really agreed. The result of this nonsense is that a weathervane the size of the palace gate has been stuck on Suzaku Avenue. It was already dead and hard inside.
