Chapter 227: Daming Palace Banquet
Chapter 227: The Palace Banquet of the Ming Dynasty Detailed the whole story
As it was getting late, Li Wei ordered to cross the river and return to Beijing. He did this deliberately, and his mother promoted cotton and made many things himself. His father had nothing to do, so he "occupied" the various things in the imperial village. What should I do? His wife has good things that are good for the country and the people, but his son has more, but he doesn't have them.
Is my father unhappy about it?
Outside Yizhou City, Li Wei couldn't help but think about it. Of course, when it comes to promotion, it is not only crops, but also profits. At least eggs and meat will be cheap, and the rich don't care. After eating big fish and meat, they will eat delicacies. The poor are no longer able to do it. The meat is a bit expensive and can't be eaten a few times a year. They even buy some meat and cut it into millet star seeds, eat some star seeds, and eat meat. Li Wei also spent such a life when he was young.
Not only the common people, but even officials are honest, so they have to eat boiled beans.
Although his father "takes" his contribution, it also shows that his vision is a person who does practical things. It also shows that his situation is embarrassing, and most of it is caused by himself. Therefore, he deliberately prepared something in Yizhou. After arriving in Chencang, he deliberately speeded up and did not prepare for the officials and people along the way. He almost passed by, and he deliberately chose to arrive at Chang'an at dusk. This is also a long progress and a military force can be used to calculate some. In this way, there will be no situation where Yizhou is empty. He will not see the common people, so that his father would not rush out of the city to greet him like he welcomed Tang Sanzang back to Beijing, and then he would rush out of the city to greet him, and then shout long live the mountain, and he would have to think randomly.
Some people still had sharp eyes and exclaimed after seeing it: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is back."
The people immediately came out, and Li Wei was so scared that he shouted: "Let's go fast."
Pei Xingjian finally couldn't help it and immediately laughed.
Xue Ne asked strangely: "Shilarious Minister Pei, what are you laughing at?"
"Don't ask," Pei Xingjian waved his hand and continued to laugh. In the end, even Di Renjie and Yao Yuanchong were laughed by him, and the others were all laughed inexplicably by the three of them.
But not long after, a eunuch came over and said, "Your Majesty has an order to hold a banquet in the Daming Palace."
Li Wei deliberately chose this opportunity to enter the city, which does not mean that the court did not know. But holding a banquet means that his father was still very happy. In fact, Li Zhi's heart was mixed with the five senses. His son was getting more and more capable. Seeing his son grow up, he felt relieved, but he felt that half of the chair under his butt was no longer under his butt. So seeing this father and son, although Di Renjie had a headache and didn't know how to arrange it properly, he was also very angry and funny.
He became more and more afraid of his son. As soon as Li Wei left Chang'an, he also left Chang'an and arrived in Luoyang. As soon as he came back, he also came back. Dai Zhide, Liu Rengui and others shook their heads.
But General Li Zhi was still happy. After all, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo people slaughtered a harsh slaughter. Especially the prime minister, who was named Lu Dongzan (Gar Dongzan Yusong, the man in red robe in Buxiantu), was the one who came to Chang'an at the beginning. In order to get Princess Wencheng back, he was as gentle as a pug. But now the father and son have become a major concern for the Tang Dynasty. In the battle of Yaozhou, more than 10,000 Tubo soldiers were killed, and many of them were also the essence of Tubo. Finally, he exhaled a little anger. It seemed that when he met the envoys of foreign countries, he had all faces.
In fact, the morale has increased, but this time I defeated the army of Nei Zanpu. Compared with the results, Lu Dongzan and his son were more famous. This was a blessing or a disaster for the Tang Dynasty, and it was difficult to predict.
He personally welcomed the Daming Palace with several prime ministers, ministers, and Wu Zetian and stood in front of Danfeng Gate. Seeing Li Wei back, Wu Zetian strode over, stroked his head, and said, "Hong'er, you are finally back. I am worried day and night in the palace."
He started sobbing as he said.
Li Wei didn't know how many of the tears were real, and he was guessing, but some of them were probably real. After all, he was still very filial to her, and the flesh fell from her body. He hugged her and said, "My son is missing his mother day and night."
The mother and son were intimate, so the others had to wait. After saying a few words of emotion, Li Wei came to Li Zhi, knelt down on one leg, saluted a military salute, and said aloud: "See your father, my son can finally share the worries for your father."
In one sentence, Dai Zhide gave him a thumbs up. How good it is to say. It is not called making meritorious service, but to share worries.
Li Zhi also smiled and said, "That's not your credit, it's the credit of Mr. Pei, General Hei-Tooth, and General Xue."
Obviously he was still angry at Liang Jishou and deliberately erased his name.
Li Wei felt a little slandered in his heart, as if this time, I had some credit. I didn't dare to argue, anyway, my father knew very well. He stood up and said, "Yes."
Only then did Li Zhi walk to Heichi Changzhi, look at it, and say, "Liu Qing recommended it to you a few years ago, and he is indeed a good man."
"Thank you, I am ashamed of you."
"It's very good, it's good, let's talk about it when you enter the palace." After saying a few words, he looked at the peacock in the car behind him, and did not ask. His son even came out in Nanzhao. I don't know whether it's true or not, these peacocks were not surprised. He brought everyone into the palace.
The banquet was held and there was a reward again. Of course, Li Wei was the prince, so there was no way to entrust him again. Everyone dispersed, but Li Zhi kept Li Wei and asked, "You did a good job this time."
It turns out that those who cannot praise them in front of everyone should at least not compete with the minister for merit. Is that true? Li Wei changed his mind and immediately said, "My son is not afraid, but the son is lucky to have not made any mistakes. There are several tiger generals who help him. Mr. Pei is wise, so he did not let his father down."
"Yes," Li Zhi suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I heard that the Great Alliance..."
If he didn't ask, Li Wei would say it too. After looking around, Li Zhi asked all the eunuchs and palace maids around him to retreat, leaving only Wu Zetian. Li Wei said: "Father, can some small tribes in Nanzhao be able to let Zhuque appear?"
Li Zhi pointed his head straight, and after hearing it, he believed and doubted it, and was puzzled by the matter. Let's listen to his son slowly...
"That's fake. Pangu opened the heaven and earth, the light ones are the heaven, and the turbid ones are the earth. The sky also has weight, but it's light ones, it's yang."
Li Zhi nodded again.
That's all I can say, Ming Chongyan was demoted from the court, and there was no need to open the pot without opening it, so he pretended to be a god and could not raise anything, and he could not raise the density. He had to use myths to make excuses and said, "So my son is thinking, if there is something lighter than the sky, can it make people float in the air?"
"What is it?" Li Zhi and Wu Zetian asked in unison. They were even more curious about the sky, who would not yearn for this time?
"It's still the sky and the qi. The sky is qi and yang, so I made a big ball with cowhide and opened a tube. Charcoal was burned under the tube. The charcoal heated the air and opened it into the balloon. The air in the balloon was hot and yang (in fact, the colder the air is, what should I do? I have to fool it). Therefore, the ball would rise by itself, but the air is still very light, but the person is very heavy, so the ball must be big and very big. I tried it and it was successful. So I used a tree stick to make a living inside.
In the shape of a bird, the paper was placed in copper juice, covered with gold liquid, and crushed. Before the Great Alliance, when he was watching the wind, when Erchen was blowing the trumpet, he asked Zhu Sima and a guard who played the instrument to put on the winch under the balloon. One used the instrument to touch the bird's cry, and the other spread paper scraps. Otherwise, will the alliance succeed. There will be disputes and wars in the future. Doing so will ensure a little peace in the years. But the father, he cannot show off. Once he shows off, his efforts will be wasted."
"You..." Wu Zetian laughed and knocked him hard on the head.
Li Zhi was also stunned at first, then a strange smile appeared on his face.
"I said you shot and killed a brave general in Tubo..." Wu Zetian said again.
"My mother, you don't know how much is a pound of a son? That night, the Tubo people also found something wrong, and they were not stingy with their subordinates. They attacked tightly. Forty or fifty thousand people were attacking, and there were enemies everywhere outside the fence. Maybe their eyes were closed, and they could shoot people. Erchen wanted to drag the morale of the enemy and notify General Xue a little later. Seeing that the attack was tight, he shot an arrow. It was the first time that Erchen saw this scene. He was nervous and happened to shoot an ordinary Tubo cavalry. At that time, Erchen was shocked. Shooting rabbits in Mount Li, nine out of ten arrows was gone. How could this arrow be so coincidental? As for what general, it was a rumor. Mother, do you believe it?"
Wu Zetian bent down and laughed again. After laughing, he said, "You are the prince. Now the court is in charge, not Emperor Taizong, that is the founding of the country. You can go to battle, you can't come to the dangerous city in person. You took a little risk that day. Besides, going to battle has already boosted morale and you don't have to do it yourself."
"Yes. But the son-in-law brought a few more gifts to his father and mother."
"Okay, take a look."
Li Wei went out and ordered the guards to take out the things in the car. Several boxes. In the first box, one or two large gems, an emerald and a ruby were presented to him by a tribal chief. In the second box were two pieces of fabric, and the brocade woven with exquisite feathers and silk, which was very gorgeous. Of course, the price was even more beautiful.
After looking at it, Wu Zetian said, "Yes, you are becoming more and more sensible."
Then stared at the third box.
Li Wei said mysteriously: "Father, Queen Mother, is a good thing. This is the real gift given to Queen Mother."
Originally, I planned to please my mother, but I guessed that my father was too chewy, but in fact I was speechless. Just like I was the prince and I didn’t need to compete for merit with my ministers, you are the emperor, so what kind of merit with your wife and son?
But there is no way. If you continue to be stalemate with me, you will suffer the loss. What should I do with the four women? Yang Sijian and Xu Qidan have to recall them, so they won’t be recalled, and they can’t be placed in Lingnan. This requires my father to nod.
As for such a gift, the father will not care about it in the end, or the mother will not care about it. But I will definitely not give it to myself again.
The first two things are already good. If you can catch up with the tribute, what will be the last thing? Wu Zetian said: "Open it and take a look."
Li Wei slowly opened the box...
***: I read the book review and talk about the Wulu family. I have read a lot of Tubo history, and there are also ministers who are pro-Tang. The reason why Tubo counterattacked the Tang Dynasty was Lu Dongzan and his son. Wulu family was not very disgusted with the Tang Dynasty. After killing Lunqinling, he did not take the initiative to provoke many wars after taking office. Then after her death, the Tang Dynasty counterattacked. (I even doubt that if she joined forces with Mochu, would Wu Zetian and Li Xian have a pot of wine?) After Lunzan Po and Lunqinling's son Lun Gongren joined the Tang Dynasty, especially Lun Gongren's descendants, many famous generals were born in the Tang Dynasty. This account was a bit confused. Wulu family had other arrangements, and important arrangements were prompted. It will be of great help to the Tang Dynasty. Also, as the Li family, we must not say that they are not my race, and their hearts must be different. We can only say that they are on the side of the bed, so how can others snore?
