Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 16

"After Li Gong, it is really precious jade!"

After asking about the details of the competition, Pei Sijian expressed her sincere admiration with a happy expression on her face.

This solved a big problem for him, that is how to continue to consume the Tubo envoys in Liangzhou.

For Tubo, Datang has never been very fond of it.

Because the status of the two countries has always been clear.

There are two famous rumors on the Internet in later generations. One is that Princess Wencheng married to Tubo, and her status is very low, not as good as Princess Chizun of Nibro.

One is that in Princess Wencheng's dowry, there are hundreds of skilled craftsmen. Li Shimin spread the advanced technology of the Central Plains to outsiders, and Tubo developed through this.

For the former, the status of Princess Wencheng can be seen from the Tubo historical material "Chronicle of Major Events", which records in detail Songtsan Gampo's marriage to Princess Wencheng, their lives, sacrifices after death, etc.

Even after the war between Tang and Tibet, Tubo still worshiped Princess Wencheng respectfully. As for the other women of Songtsan Gampo, there is no record at all.

As for the miraculous Princess Chizun who is said to be more favored by Songtsan Gampo, there is no such person in history, and it is an invention of religious mythology.

The first rumor is pure nonsense, but the second has some data to support it.

Although there are thousands of craftsmen in the dowry, there is no such thing in ancient Han historical materials, Tubo inscriptions, and Dunhuang Tubo historical documents, but in "Tubo Dynasty Hereditary Mingjian", it is indeed mentioned that Princess Wencheng brought craftsmen and seeds.

However, other records in this book are all exaggerated. The Bodhisattva turned into a princess, Lu Dongzan fooled Li Shimin, and sowed seeds with fried seeds.

In the official history, on the contrary, when Li Zhi ascended the throne, Songtsan Ganbu sent people to congratulate him, and Li Zhi bestowed some craftsmen, all of whom were dedicated to serving the nobles, showing the high-quality life of the Tang Dynasty.

To sum it up, the marriage of Princess Wencheng was the Tang Dynasty’s way of enticing and restraining the vassals. Songtsan Gampo succeeded to the throne in his teens and dominated the plateau. He remained obedient until his death.

It's a pity that in the past [-] years in Hedong and in the past [-] years in Hexi, now Tubo has been dragged up, and the attitude of the envoys has become arrogant.

Although Datang was defeated, he was unwilling to give Tubo a good face, and asked Pei Sijian to leave the envoys in Liangzhou to sharpen the hostility of these Tubo thieves, teach them the rules, and then send them to Chang'an.

It's not easy, Pei Sijian felt quite a headache when he came and went with the Tubo ambassador recently.

He also quietly pushed behind the polo match, and the current result can be said to be the best help.

Pei Sijian was in a happy mood. Seeing the stained ink, she simply put down her pen, stroked her beard and said, "Where is Li Liulang? As an elder, I should see him."

The personal guard replied: "When I came here, there was a carnival inside and outside the venue, and everyone hugged Li Liulang. I heard that I was going to Zuixianglou to celebrate."

"Haha, don't worry, let this young gentleman relax!"

……

Li Yan really felt very relaxed.

At noon, in Zuixiang Building, a group of children from the top aristocratic families in Liangzhou were singing and dancing to celebrate the victory.

This restaurant with a ridiculous name is very popular in Liangzhou.

Because its way of welcoming guests is very direct.

Entering the restaurant, you will be greeted by pretty orchids, graceful in figure, exotic in style and bold in behavior.

After passing through the secluded gallery and entering the hall, the beaded curtains are lowered, and after sitting on the screen, there are rows of beautiful dancers and thousands of musicians, singing and dancing gracefully.

When Li Yan walked in surrounded by crowds, he learned that if he was not satisfied, he could change another batch.

The inheritance of culture runs through the millennium.

Strangely moved.

And amidst the fluttering of colorful sleeves and the intertwining of toasts, he became the center of toasting and making friends without any accident.

"Drink this cup full! Congratulations to Rokuro!!"

"Please sing a song, please dance!"

In front of the school before, everyone kept their distance, because they relied on the honor of their family background and were unwilling to compliment a person whose background had changed suddenly.

But now, what they valued was not only the backgrounds of Duke Wei and the Li family of Longxi, but also Li Yan.

This person is too fierce, the future is uncertain, the future is limitless, if we don't make friends now, when will we wait?
And Li Yan also changed from the solitary way he was when he was in the academy, and became open-minded and open-minded.

I like this kind of communication~
But other things are easy to say, he really has no practice in singing and dancing.

Seeing that he refused to end, everyone expressed their understanding, and then one after another, the big men twisted their bodies and raised their arms, twirling and stepping, beckoning and sending them away...

Seeing the scene of these demons dancing wildly, Li Yan sighed in his heart. He knew very well that he would be one of them in a short time.

Because this is the custom of Datang.

When his grandfather Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks, there was a party in the palace to celebrate. Li Shimin led the dance at the banquet, accompanied by the overlord Li Yuan playing the pipa, and the ministers toasted and danced one by one to celebrate this unprecedented victory.

In the same famous scene, after Li Chengqian was abolished, Li Zhi became the prince, and when he had his first son, even if he was a concubine, the grandfather Li Shimin also ran to the East Palace, happily leading the dance.

If you can't dance, you become a misfit.

Social terror after a thousand years: don't talk when you go out.

Social terror a thousand years ago: Can't sing, dance, maqiu.

Sure enough, seeing Li Yan sitting quietly, Jia Sibo came to the side and said with a smile: "Yuan Fang must study hard, otherwise it would be too impolite for the honored guest to ask for orders (invite you to dance) and not be able to pick up the dance. , In the future, if you get recruited by a sage, you can also dance to thank you."

These words are not only persuasion, but also imply that he has a great future. Li Yan raised his glass and said, "Brother Cheng!"

After An Zhongjing danced, he sat on the other side without blushing or panting, making Kang Meng, who was about to come over, quickly take Kang Da back to the side: "I think Yuan Fang is unwilling to give up the embrace of a beautiful woman, so she doesn't like it." Come dance with us!"

After all, he and Jia Sibo showed men's smiles.

Li Yan also laughed, and deliberately said: "Then you are still crowded here? Beauty, are the two of them a disappointment?"

The orchid serving next to her has exquisite features and a plump figure. Hearing this, she lowered her head and chuckled lightly. Her shy and timid demeanor touched people's hearts.

"Ha ha!"

After the joke, the relationship got closer invisibly, An Zhongjing smiled and said: "Hu Ji is beautiful, but it is hard to be considerate. I just found out that Yuan Fang still has an appointment with Fifth Uncle, and she is going to be a guest at the house. lady!"

The fifth uncle he was talking about was Captain An County, Li Yan couldn't refuse: "Captain An County took good care of me, I will definitely go to the appointment."

Jia Sibo hurriedly said: "You can't treat one more favorably than another, Yuanfang, you also want to come to my Jia residence, I have many good sisters, Lan Zhixin, who are both talented and beautiful~"

"Are you Jia Baoyu, okay sister?"

Li Yanqiang held back his complaints, but he also saw that they were not being polite, but really wanted to introduce the women in the clan to him.

Unlike the Shandong gentry, who like to internalize women with five surnames, the Guanlong aristocratic family is relatively free to marry.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was no saying that one could marry women of the five surnames. The credibility of the wild history novels was doubtful. After the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial power fell, and the women of the five surnames were popular in the wedding market. Gradually, the rich families even looked down on the prince.

Of course, marrying a regular wife requires the elders to make decisions. The young lady here is obviously a concubine, and she should be a concubine.

Sending girls to warm their beds is a normal operation among the aristocratic clans, but these two did it too bluntly.

It really is Liangzhou style.

"The sugar-coated cannonball of the elite, hehe..."

Li Yan was thinking about how to speak, when a shrill woman's voice suddenly sounded outside, startling the singing and dancing boys and girls in the hall:
"Brother Fu didn't commit suicide, it wasn't suicide!"

"Please be the master of my husband!!"

　Thanks to the book friend "Feng Yu Wu Fei" for the reward.
