Elegant Feather

The Shangyuan night banquet held the banner of the emperor and his ministers having fun together, and Emperor Chengtian was not a strict and alienated king, so the banquet was not like the endless prostration and boring emperor's banquet in the Qing Dynasty that Jun Yiyu imagined.The sound of silk and bamboo is endless, and the officials and relatives are not restrained. The neighbors often whisper to each other and comment on the singing and dancing in the palace.Even if the emperor invites someone to drink, that person only needs to cup their fists and bow to pay respects, which greatly subverts Jun Yiyu's understanding of palace banquets.

Jun Yiyu had enough to eat and drink, and leaned against Princess Xiangxi to watch the singing and dancing comfortably.Well, long sleeves happen to be extremely classic, very good.Oh, no, this is ancient times.

Noticing that Princess Xiangxi ate less and only picked up some vegetarian dishes, Jun Yiyu was a little bit disgusted, she was so thin, could she still lose weight?She pushed Princess Xiangxi's chopsticks onto a piece of meat that looked rather bland, "Eat."

"Huh? This is shredded chicken, Yu'er wants to eat?" Princess Xiangxi asked in doubt and already held a chopstick and handed it to Jun Yiyu's mouth, and she was already feeding it with ease.

Huh?This is shredded chicken?I really didn't eat it.The imperial chef is so skilled, she thought it was some kind of rare meat that only existed in ancient times.Jun Yiyu shook his head and pushed the chopsticks to Princess Xiangxi's mouth, "Yu'er is full, you eat."

Princess Xiangxi's eyes lit up, the child was really spiritual, and he did not follow Jun Yiyu's kindness, so he ate it as he said.

Jun Yiyu is satisfied, little princess, that's right.From time to time, she finds a meat that looks bland and pleasing to the eye and is suitable for Jun Yuanxi, and pushes it into Princess Xiangxi's mouth.

"This child will love others, he has a conscience. I'm afraid Xiangxi ate more meat today than usual in a month." Princess Yanping also came to joke, "I should eat more."

"Yes, yes." Emperor Chengtian's voice came from above, full of joy, he couldn't help nodding his beard, for Jun Yuanxi to eat, he didn't know how many tricks the imperial chef had changed, but Xi'er just doesn't like to eat meat, seeing him grow into a skeleton, it breaks his heart as a father, and he still has nothing to do with her, but Xiao Yu'er has something to do with her.

The court music and dancing in the Dahua Palace is beautiful, but after watching it for a long time, it is too monotonous for Jun Yiyu, who is used to watching various forms of performances in her previous life. In addition, she ran for an hour before, It took a lot of energy for her small body to lean softly in Princess Xiangxi's arms, and it didn't take long before she squinted her eyes and fell asleep.

Princess Xiangxi didn't feel Jun Yiyu's movements in her arms for a long time, and when she looked down, she realized that he was peacefully asleep in her arms. She gestured to her close maid, Mu Qing, to bring a piece of clothing, and gently covered him.

The warmth of the red furnace in the Dahua Palace does not make people feel cold, but the sudden warmth still makes Jun Yiyu comfortably rub against Princess Xiangxi, making Emperor Chengtian, who has been paying attention to the place, smile happily.

"Your Majesty, the old minister respects Your Majesty for a cup, and wishes His Majesty a long life."

"It's Tang Qing? Tang Qing is toasting, I want to drink it." Emperor Chengtian covered his face and drank it down, his eyes flashed, Wei Guogong, I have been waiting for you for a long time, you can count it.

After finishing his drink, Emperor Chengtian glanced at Duke Wei's seat again, "Tang Qing, is that your fourth child?"

"It's hard for Your Majesty to remember, that is Tang Zhao, the fourth son of the old minister."

"If I remember correctly, he is also the son of Tang Qing's wife, and he is Tang Hui's younger brother." A trace of sadness appeared in Emperor Chengtian's eyes, "When Tang Hui was here, he did his duty to protect Dahua Palace for me. Thinking about it now is like what happened yesterday, who would have thought that he would... Alas!"

Tang Shao felt sad for his beloved son who died young, but he persuaded: "Hui'er often expresses gratitude to the old minister for His Majesty's kindness, but it is a pity that he is not blessed enough. This is also his fate. Your Majesty does not need to be too sad for him. He If Quan Xia knows, he certainly doesn't want to see His Majesty hurting the dragon's body because of him."

Emperor Chengtian waved his hand, "Thinking back when Duke Wei Wulie and Taizu started together at the end of the century, they saved the country and fell immediately, and recovered the broken Central Plains. What's more, during the battle, Duke Wei Wulie saved Taizu's life many times. In Sejong and Renzong's two dynasties, Empress Wende was in power, widowed and orphaned, and Wei Wulie was also relied on. Gonghe Wei Zhongding presided over military affairs so that the Hu people would not have the opportunity to take advantage of it, and Dahua was able to be stable. When the first emperor Gaozong went to the north, it was Wei Zhongding who fought to protect him, so that the late emperor could retreat safely. Tang Qing As a general of the two dynasties, he has fought for our Dahua for more than 20 years. I have always been grateful for his hard work, so I don’t need to say more. Thinking that Tang Hui is your eldest son, he studied the martial arts and warfare methods of his ancestors. The pillars of Hua's army died so early! How can I not feel sad about this? Could it be that I am not virtuous enough to retain talents?"

Emperor Chengtian spoke so emotionally that Tang Shao's face blushed. This is the glory of the family!When Emperor Chengtian talked step by step about his eldest son who died early before he had time to make contributions to the country and win glory for his family, this comparison made Tang Shao couldn't help but feel sad.Your Majesty is a person who values ​​friendship. With Hui'er's talent, it is needless to say that he has won this master and continued the glory of the Tang family. It is a pity that the heavens are not blessed!Soldiers are honest and upright men who value love and righteousness. Tang Shao thought of his son, thought of His Majesty's regret for his son between the lines, and waited until Emperor Chengtian's last words caught his ears. He finally couldn't help kneeling and weeping, and kowtowed: " Your Majesty's holiness, Huier is not blessed, old minister, please don't underestimate yourself like this again."

Emperor Chengtian was surprised by Tang Shao's performance, is he too sensational?It's better to be a soldier with a straight gut!He walked around the table and walked in front of Tang Shao, making gestures with both hands to help him up, "Tang Qing please get up quickly, it's my fault, I shouldn't bring up sad things on the Lantern Festival and make Tang Qing sad."

Tang Shao wiped his tears and knocked loudly on the ground, "It's the old minister who lost his temper. Your Majesty's holiness, caring and sympathy for your ministers is a blessing for you. Even if you die, you can't report to your majesty. Don't say that Hui'er died of illness. Yes, with the Holy Son of Heaven above, everyone in Duke Wei’s mansion should be smashed to pieces for Dahua. Please also take care of the dragon’s body, Your Majesty, and don’t feel sorry for him.”

"Please, Tang Qing." Emperor Chengtian patted Tang Shao's shoulder gratefully, and this time he really helped, "The Duke of Wei is loyal to Dahua, Taizu, and me. I always know that .”

Tang Zhao saw his old father going to toast the emperor, but suddenly fell to the ground and cried bitterly. He stood up in shock, but he didn't want to go forward rashly because the king was in front of him.Emperor Chengtian waved to him, "Tang Zhao, come here."

Tang Zhao was surprised. He was born in a family of military generals but had no military achievements. It was a great grace to attend this kind of banquet with his father. He never expected to be summoned by His Majesty.Your Majesty still knows my name?He was full of joy in his heart, and he didn't dare to step forward lightly, because he was excited, he almost dropped his hand when saluting.

Emperor Chengtian turned back to the throne, and said in a harmonious voice: "Tang Zhao, I heard that you joined the Forbidden Army last year and did a good job under King Yi, and you were praised during the Grand Competition, right?"

"Yes." One word made Tang Zhao's voice tremble when he answered.

Emperor Chengtian had a smile on his face, but he was a little displeased in his heart. Duke Wei's child looks decent, so why is it so useless.Immediately, he felt slightly relieved, after all, he was still young, only eighteen.

Evil son!Seeing His Majesty being so cowardly, and not knowing that he was modest, Tang Shao secretly glared at Tang Zhao, and saluted: "Your Majesty, the dog is young and incompetent, and it is His Highness King Yi's favor."

Emperor Chengtian shook his head with a smile, "Why should Tang Qing be overly modest, the child from Duke Wei's mansion must be an elite in our Dahua Army." He also joked: "The army is the most capable place to stand out with real knives, guns, and real skills. Tang Qing It is said that King Yi loves your son, could it be that King Yi is favoritism and cannot rule the army according to the law? That is impossible, if it is true, even my brother, I will never forgive him."

The emperor could joke, but Tang Shao didn't dare to be sloppy at all, "Your Majesty, forgive me, His Highness King Yi uses soldiers like a god, and manages the army well. The veteran has absolutely no intention of slandering His Highness King Yi." Tang Shao's words were a bit exaggerated, But it's not too much. Yiwang and Jinshang have been on the grassland for 30 years, which is equivalent to staying on horseback for 30 years. The riding and archery skills are not one of the best, but they are also one of the best players in the Dahua Army, otherwise they would not be so fast. Get ahead in the military.You know, the military camp is no different than other places. No matter how high your status is, if you don't have any real skills, you will never be able to suppress those arrogant soldiers. At most, you will be convinced.Besides, King Yi's method of using troops, saying "like a god" is an exaggeration, but after so many years of study and honing, it is quite advisable. The victory of Xiwu in command is the best affirmation of his general talent.Tang Shao was still a soldier who had inherited the blood of his ancestors in his heart, and he would say anything, especially when it comes to military and political affairs, he would never close his eyes and brag for the King of Wings in order to praise Cheng Tiandi's stinky feet.

"Tang Qing, don't be nervous, it's just a joke." Emperor Chengtian smiled more heartily. From Tang Shao's words, he could hear the approval of King Yi. Over the years, he wanted to let Prince Yi's mansion get the fairness of the Dahua wealthy family as soon as possible. Face it squarely, but you have put in a lot of effort, and you've finally achieved something.

"Tang Zhao, I think you are a good seedling, and you will do well in the army. If you give it to the Duke of Wei, your father, or your eldest brother, it would be embarrassing. I won't spare you."

"Yes" Hearing the words of encouragement and encouragement from Emperor Chengtian, Tang Zhao's face flushed red with joy, and he was extremely excited. His Majesty actually said that he was optimistic about me and that I was a good seedling!

"En." Emperor Chengtian nodded in satisfaction, but he was really dissatisfied in his heart. This child is not bad, but can he be assigned to Xi'er?He originally wanted to create an opportunity to give a marriage tonight, but at this time, Tang Zhao couldn't help but find excuses because he thought he was not good enough for his daughter.Today's gift of marriage is too much of a mark, let's talk about it another day after contacting Tang Shao.

Emperor Chengtian made up his mind and only continued to encourage him: "Good boy, you are about to get ahead in the army. I will reserve the position of your eldest brother for you. Your eldest brother is good, but it is a pity that you left early. You have to show yourself in the army." Now, come to take up the position of your elder brother and guard the Dahua Palace for me."

Tang Hui was the deputy commander of the Yulin Army before his death. Emperor Chengtian promised Tang Zhao the position of commander of the Son of Heaven's army.

Tang Shao's military family has worked in the army for many years, and those who know how to do other things may have to think about it, but when it comes to the army, they know the elegance from listening to string songs, so they will pull Tang Zhao to thank him immediately.

But Tang Zhao was not happy.After the death of the eldest brother, my father took care to train me and sent me into the army. He whispered in my ears every day that he should learn more from the dead elder brother. Now His Majesty also said that he should keep his mouth shut. Hua Gong, is Your Majesty really looking after me, or is it just because of my brother's love for me?With this in mind, young Tang Zhao became angry and forgot to respect the emperor. Although he was dragged to the ground by his father, he didn't thank him and said with a straight neck: "Your Majesty, the general doesn't want to guard the Dahua Palace. , I just want to use my true skills to fight the enemy, make meritorious deeds, follow the example of my ancestors, open up the territory for Dahua, and pacify the Quartet for Your Majesty."

Tang Shao was almost pissed off by this son, his own son naturally knew why he was like this all of a sudden, how did I give birth to such a ignorant thing!

Emperor Chengtian's mention of Tang Hui in his words was just a way to win over Duke Wei's mansion, without showing any signs of intimacy, or to show that he valued Tang Zhao in a targeted manner so that he could be recruited as a son-in-law. Who would have thought that it would trigger Tang Zhao's rebellion?He was thinking of seeing his son-in-law. Before Tang Zhao met the king for the first time, he had been a little cowering in fear of Tianwei, which made him feel a little displeased. On the contrary, it made him feel better at this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay , it is only with a young man with drive and energy like you that I, Dahua, can have a powerful army. If you do a good job, I will let you be the general who will calm the world."

Tang Shao heaved a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the son of heaven has a heart, and he doesn't have the same knowledge as his son.He didn't dare to let Tang Zhao talk to His Majesty again, so he hurriedly pulled him to Xie En and retreated to his seat.

Ever since Tang Zhao was summoned to the palace by Emperor Chengtian, Princess Xiangxi had already frowned indistinctly. After some conversations between monarchs and ministers, Princess Xiangxi looked on coldly and saw Tang Zhao's shortcomings more thoroughly than Emperor Chengtian.This is the son-in-law my father chose for me?Forget it, the relatives and noble children are not all virtuous, so he is not bad.Rao is so self-consoling, she still relaxes when she didn't hear that Emperor Chengtian bestowed the marriage in court, maybe one day later is one day later.

How can a daughter's family in this era really not care about her marriage at all?It turned out that Princess Xiangxi had already become stiff before she knew it.

In fact, Jun Yiyu was not in a deep sleep. Princess Xiangxi's body froze, and she felt uncomfortable in holding her, so she naturally woke up slowly.Sensing Princess Xiangxi's strangeness, she followed her gaze and saw the half-aged old man in purple Guo Gong's clothes in front of Emperor Chengtian.Oh, it's another toast to the emperor's grandfather, it seems that there is no problem, what's wrong with the little princess?Puzzled, she saw Tang Zhao.Huh?There is also a young man on his knees, and he also comes to toast?No way, it seems that he is not in good clothes to attend, he should be a child of some family, he is not qualified to toast the emperor.

After listening to a few answers, Jun Yiyu realized that the old man in purple robe was the current Duke of Wei, and the young man was the son of Duke Wei.The Duke of Wei's Mansion is the pillar of Dahua's army, and Jun Yiyu has also heard of its name at home.It turned out to be from Duke Wei's Tang family, so it's no wonder.

Seeing that young man's brows were beaming with joy, his face excited, and he couldn't control his hands and feet, Jun Yiyu was amazed, didn't he just meet the emperor and hear the emperor say something nice, why is he like this?Then I let the emperor and princess feed me, and I am still sleeping on the princess, shouldn't I be so excited?Jun Yiyu's modern free soul naturally cannot understand the reverence that people in the era of imperial power have for the emperor and the heavenly family.To him, the domineering aura of the emperor was just a legend, and at most he thought it was majestic, but to the people of that era, it was a real soul oppression that he dared not ignore.

It's weird, it's okay for Grandpa Huang to rely heavily on that old Mr. Tang, but this Mr. Tang's behavior is not very good. Why is Grandpa still rewarding him?Thinking of Princess Xiangxi's abnormal performance and Duke Wei's mansion's pivotal position in Dahua, Jun Yiyu had a vague suspicion in his heart, could it be... No way, the little princess is only 14 years old.ah!The eldest Sun Rong was only fifteen when she married her uncle, the ancients are really not sure about it.Seeing the little princess like this, could it be that she knew about the grandpa's plan before?She seemed to despise Xiao Tang.The damn ancient marriage system, what parents ordered and matchmaker's words, two people who have never met before can be made into a family by them, and I don't know how many people have been cheated.Grandpa Huang only has a daughter like the little princess. He is very kind to the little princess, so he should respect her opinion.

It was at this moment that Kung Fu saw Tang Xie'en retreated, the emperor didn't say anything about the marriage, the little princess under him also relaxed, and Jun Yiyu let go of his worries.Maybe I think too much.In other words, although I sympathize with her very much, but my small body won't help her even if I worry about her.Alas, what a pity to be born in the emperor's family!
