Chapter 29
Chang'an Daming Palace Qifeng Pavilion
"Sir to the Ministry of Rites!!! Your Majesty, I have very little experience and may not be able to take responsibility for this matter." Cui Po, a former Guangzhou Assassin, said in surprise to Li Shi, who was sitting in the imperial seat, in a crimson official uniform.
At this time, Li Shi was wearing a full body wardrobe, and his face was filled with heavy joy. He felt a lot of fatigue. Obviously, the meeting with the 76 countries in front of Chengtian Gate today made the young and strong emperor very tired.
"This time, my family did a great job in Lingnan. The four million moat agreements in the imperial court were resolved as expected. What's even more rare is that this time attracted 76 foreign countries to come to the court. This has not happened since Tianbao, which greatly increased the hearts and morale of the court. In terms of reason, I should have rewarded my family very much. However, on that day, my family killed Huang Siwen in Lingnan and later recruited pirates and established a navy, and attracted discussions on the court. The impeachment voices are endless, which made me very embarrassed! In this way, if the merits and demerits are offset, Cui Qing was changed to the Minister of Rites! In other words, this position is the same as the Guangzhou Assassination Envoy!
The rank is not for promotion, and it is not for the sake of promotion, so it is not enough to save the noise of the censors. Moreover, the Ministry of Rites has caused criticism from the current affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and it is necessary for the Qing family to go to the east of Shannan to be the Minister of Rites. The position of Minister of Rites has been vacant. The Ministry of Rites has been less restrained when he goes to the Ministry of Rites. I am very proud of you!” After saying this, Li Shi was still waiting to speak again, but he saw the inner official Huo Xianming quietly entering the pavilion and bowed down: "Your Majesty, the Linde Hall has been prepared, and the foreign envoys from all countries have also been invited, so please start your journey!"
Hearing this, Li Shi showed a strange look on his face, and immediately stood up and said, "That's right, let's go! Cui Qing, come with me!"
He bowed and followed the way, but Cui Po was confused about the short half-incense stick of the car. This morning, when the team of the foreign envoys led by him arrived in Beijing, and was still in the Changting Pavilion of Baqiao, there were already hundreds of officials to welcome the marquis. However, Yang Yan, the current Minister of Rites, was sent to the position of the Minister of Rites, because of the corruption case in the imperial examination, the ceremony was actually held by the second-rank prince Yan Qingchen himself. This was a last resort, but it also showed that his attention to this matter today.
As expected, from Changting Pavilion, Baqiao to Mingde Gate, Chang'an, to welcome the arrival of this troop envoy, it was actually restored with the Pure Land, and the walking forward was guided by fragrant flowers. As soon as we entered Chang'an, there were crowds of people on both sides, cheering and watching, which surprised many troop envoys who were still shocking Chang'an, the world's mighty city.
Since the Anshi Rebellion in Tianbao, although foreign envoys have arrived in Beijing every year, it is unprecedented in this scale. Without waiting for Chang'an, the two counties in Wannian, the people have already helped the elderly and young, and come out together to see the lively scene that has not been seen for decades. They only saw the crowds with strange skin and strange clothes. Everyone was calling Lianlian. When the "black" country, the "jin" country's "gold" country's appearance actually caused the audience to lose voice for a moment, and then there was a tsunami sigh like a mountain collapse.
Flowers are like seas and sounds are like tides. The envoys slowly walked to Chengtian Gate in this noisy atmosphere and were given a visit by the Emperor of Tang. After a tedious program, Li Shi gave the order and held a banquet in Chengde Hall, he returned to the palace by himself, and Cui Po was also named by him.
But what Cui Po didn't expect was that without a single extra greeting, during this short brief meeting like a needle, Li Shi actually said such a big thing to him. "Ministry of Rites" walked all the way, and these two words were rumbling in his mind.
Linde Hall, the largest hall in the history of the Chinese dynasty, was built by the Tang Dynasty for palace banquets and vassal states. It is also located at the top of the Dragon Shou Yuan, located at the highest point of Chang'an City. It has a magnificent and magnificent aura of dominance. Especially after being ordered by the emperor to renovate and embellish, it exudes a powerful and prosperous aura of wealth beyond its boundless power.
Still far away, I heard the sound of the extremely rapid and majestic "Qin King Breaking the Formation Music" coming. A little closer, several crisp sounds of the whip in the quiet palace sounded, and with a sharp sing of "Your Majesty is here!", the sound of praise and shouting "Long live" throughout the palace city was echoed.
When I walked into Linde Hall, even though Cui Po had entered and exited this hall many times, I couldn't help but be surprised. This was the hall from the former "Great Court Meeting". It was clearly the palace trunk that was moved over. In the huge hall, gold satin was used as curtains and pearls and jade decorations, which was really magnificent.
"Cui Qing, how could such a person be born in the world?" Li Shi slowly walked onto the imperial bed with a smile. He quietly signaled Cui Po to step forward and asked in surprise. Obviously, he had not seen the true appearance of the envoy on the city tower just now because he was far away. He was also surprised to see him in person at this time.
"It's not surprising that the world is so great that it's strange! Your Majesty, let's give them a seat!" After explaining in a low voice, Cui Po reminded in a low voice.
"The family members and the ministers' families were flattened, and they gave them seats and delivered a banquet!" With a loud chant, and with a thank-you voice, countless beautiful palace maids followed the delicacies like butterflies and held the delicacies in their hands. The feast officially began.
"It's been a long time since there was such a grand event. This show actually has the aura of nouveau riche!" On the other hand, responding to the emperor's red face, Cui Po said to himself with a sigh.
After three cups, the envoys offered prescriptions in turn and offered wine to reward them. At this moment, the hall suddenly became lively. Many gold and jade objects, but most of them were rare flowers, trees, and beasts. It was like the parrot with red and well-behaved flowers, but it was quite popular, but the huge sea clams offered by the envoy of the Naked Kingdom were acceptable. But when he heard that the black man was actually going to offer a living lion to His Majesty. Cui Po, who was in charge of introducing the matters for the emperor, suddenly burst into a cold sweat. Thank you for your time!
This feast that greatly increased the face of the Zhenyuan Dynasty lasted until sunset and dusk. The happy emperor couldn't help drinking too much, leaving a sentence: "Tonight, Jinwu can't help but have fun together in the city", he dazed onto the imperial chariot and returned to the bedroom, which only made Lord Cui, who was trying to make a knee, feel depressed.
"Old Guo, hurry up and go home!" After the song ended, Cui Po Changshou, who had walked out of the imperial city, sniffed a sip of alcohol, climbed the carriage of Lao Guo who was coming to welcome him, and said loudly with anticipation.
The sound of the car was so loud that even though Lao Guo had been doing it for many years, he had no choice but to walk on the street market, and it was difficult to go. With the help of drinking, Cui Po was eager to stay home and was impatient and so he got off the car, took the horse, and rode the first, and left the aerial vehicle and left the house.
"Pomegranate, didn't Cui Lang enter the city this morning? Why is it now and it's not home yet!"
"Okay, my sister Jinhua, you've asked for it for the sixth time! Didn't Mr. Guo come back from the letter before, saying that it was a banquet given by the emperor, and it would end so soon? Maybe! There's still a night!" At the intersection of the street in front of the Cui Mansion, Najia Jinhua and the pomegranate who came to wait for her were chatting in a mess, suffering from the pain of separation and longing for several years. Now when he heard that his husband returned to Beijing, the third wife of the Cui Mansion could not wait for a moment. She was still not able to wait at the gate of the mansion. She actually went all the way to the intersection of the street and looked at each other, making her weak and thin-skinned clothes unable to stand the gaze of the pedestrians. She first avoided herself and left the pomegranate with a quick mouth and several strong family members to accompany her.
"Shiyilang! Is it you?" A rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar. I couldn't see the face of the knight. Naja Jinhua was already telepathically, and she shouted loudly with a tremolo. As the horses got closer, the familiar face appeared. She could no longer help but run forward. Her eyes were full of lovesickness, her beautiful face, and her flying skirt. At this moment, Mrs. Jinhua became more and more beautiful.
Looking at the figure running towards him, Cui Po was also in a state of ups and downs. He slapped the horse and pulled the hands of the two stretched out hands. Naja Jinhua skillfully turned over and took a step on the horse, hugging Lang Jun's body tightly. The next moment, tears that were not sure how delicious it was, were rolling down. The pedestrians in the streets and alleys could not help but burst into a burst of colorful sounds when they saw such a wonderful "air relay".
"Hey! Young Master, Sister Jinhua, wait for me!" Looking at the Mercedes-Benz horse without any pause, Pomegranate stomped his feet and said angrily: "Okay! I've been waiting for so long, both of them are heartless!"
When he rushed to the mansion, Cui Po turned over and dismounted, carefully helped Najia Jinhua, who was still crying, and turned around and saw the two pretty figures at the mansion. They were seventy-six-six-six-six-pointed and three-pointed drunkenness. The fourth-rank master Cui was even more scrupled. He hugged the two tightly in his arms in a few quick steps.
The boy was loving and separated for three years. This hug was powerful. Even though he had always been dignified and moderate, Jingruo, who was a master of style, couldn't help but feel a little bit sore, let alone the delicate mind, the delicate clothes that were suffering from lovesickness all day long, and Naga Jinhua who followed him was tearful! This gathering and embracing in full view became more and more enthusiastic and heartwarming.
"Shiyilang, let me go, the servants are watching!" The first person to wake up from this excitement was Jingruo, the eldest wife of the head of the family. After the initial excitement, she felt the faint smile and gaze coming from around her. At that moment, love temporarily retreated, and shame surged, adding a little more bright color to a cream-like pink face.
"Aruo, it is not difficult to let me let you go, but you need to call me 'good man'!" The joy of returning home for several years, the constant intoxication, and the shy beauty in front of you made Cui Po very unusual tonight, and at this moment, he still teased.
After a slight struggle, he couldn't get rid of his body. Jingruo's face turned three more points. After a gentle "scoundrel", he was half happy and half unwilling to let go and whispered: "Good man, let Aruo go!" Even the eldest lady had already spoken. What else would you say in a weak clothes?
The soft voice in his ears and the fragrant nose was in his nose. Cui Po was in a good mood and then tightened his hands tightly. He let the two of them leave their arms, turned around and dragged Naja Jinhua's hand, and then went to the inner courtyard to pay tribute to the old lady.
The foreign official returned to Beijing and had several days of vacation. He was tired from traveling for several days. In addition, the rain and wind were so violent that last night, it was already bright when Cui Po woke up the next day. He got up to wash up and quit his body. Master Cui was about to go to the weak-clothed one, but he saw the pomegranate hurried forward and said with a cold face: "Young Master, Mr. Guo passed on a message, saying that Mr. Cui's mansion in Tongyifang, someone came to visit Mr. Cui's mansion."
"You little girl! I haven't seen you for a few years, so I'll show you the young master's face!", smiled and shaved pomegranate's nose, Cui Po turned around and went back to the room to change his clothes.
"Sister Pima is a good-nature, but she is still angry with the young master and she is crying every day." Pomegranate's low muttering caused Cui Po to move his heart, and he didn't respond. After changing his clothes, he took Di Shi, who had a slightly exposed moustache, and rode his horse to Tongyifang.
"My nephew paid homage to my uncle. I have been away from him for several years. I cannot serve my filial piety around me. Please do not blame me!" It was still the quiet study room. As soon as Cui Po entered the door, he bowed to worship and said.
"Get up! You and my uncle are still making trouble for these empty words!" Cui Youfu said casually, "In the past month, everything happened frequently. The voice of this priest and grandpa who had always been solemn and solemn, all the words were filled with fatigue.
"Do you know everything about Gongnan?" After Cui Sishu left for tea, Cui Youfu asked indifferently.
"Since the Emperor Wu of Tang Dynasty established the imperial examination as a custom, this has always been a parallel election and examination. It has been like this for decades. How could the teacher have been wrong this time? The child was framed by the children. Fortunately, this time he did not delay the crime and his uncle, otherwise the court would be really..." When talking about this, Cui Po was also angry and said in a rumor.
But before he could continue to say something, Cui Zhongshu, who had already frowned when he heard this, said, "Rareless, thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the Lord! How can we and my ministers comment? Besides, Gongnan's rank will not decrease, and he will be transferred to Shannan to take charge of the side. This is exactly what the court said just now. Don't mention it in the future, but remember it!"
