Datang Library

Chapter 501
Chang'an in the early morning is still peaceful, and the lights of the entertainment city have been gradually extinguished in the middle of the night. During the day, only the dawn and sunrise are the quietest moments in Chang'an.

When people were still sleeping and enjoying the rare rest and sweetness, the gates of Chang'an city were opened one after another, and a cavalry team was like a sharp arrow, piercing in along Chang'an Zhuque Avenue. The conspicuous flag pierced through the city gates one after another, and the clear and rapid sound of horseshoes awakened one dream after another.

"Eight hundred li urgent, Lingnan urgent report!"

……

The long chant, accompanied by the resounding sound of horseshoes, started from the gate of the city and spread far, far away, even faintly heard inside the palace in the north of the city.

Galloping all the way until the cavalry rushed to the gate of the palace, stopped outside the palace gate, the leading general flashed a banner in his hand, and shouted: "Eight hundred miles, hurry up, the country's important affairs, Lingnan Yueguo urgently report to your majesty."

The guard general at the gate of the palace greeted him personally, and called the messenger team to take a break. He had already gone to report to His Majesty, after all, His Majesty hadn't woken up yet.

The servant Gao quickly ran into the Lizheng Hall of the harem. At this time, His Majesty Li Er was already changing his clothes in a hurry. There was no other noisy Chang'an City.

Hearing that it was Lingnan urgent report, a major event for the country, Li Er was startled, and hurriedly got up to bring someone over, and then he was overjoyed, as if he remembered something, instead of rushing to meet people, he changed his clothes and dressed up first.

"Your Majesty, the eight hundred miles south of the Five Ridges are here urgently..."

"I know. Send someone to see if the Supreme Emperor is in the palace. If he is, please come and meet the Lingnan messenger with me." Li Er said with a smile.

"this……

Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is not in the palace, he lives in the other courtyard of the entertainment city and has not come back.

The urgency of eight hundred miles south of the Five Ridges must be a matter of urgency, Your Majesty why..." Lao Gao quickly covered his mouth, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue. As a servant, he cannot have his own ideas, let alone question the Lord. Asking such a thing is even more taboo.

Fortunately, Li Er was in a good mood at this time, so he didn't care about this matter, but explained with a smile: "How can I not know, but if you count the days, what will happen to Lingnan?

Haha, it's been three years, for three full years, it must be that the fairy food has been found, otherwise Feng An would not have sent someone to say that it is a major national event and it has something to do with the fairy food, so I have to go out in person to show my respect to heaven. "

Half an hour later, Li Er, who was dressed in a dragon robe, came to the gate of the palace with a team of guards. The general who was resting here was surprised. His Majesty personally greets you?Has the court changed the rules?

"Special envoy of Lingnan, what is the urgent report from Duke Yue?" Li Er asked, suppressing his excitement.

The messenger led the people to salute solemnly, and said loudly in public: "Your Majesty, the fairy food returns to the country, and God bless the Tang Dynasty!"

"Sir, let's talk again!"

"Your Majesty, the Immortal Food will return to the country, and God bless the Tang Dynasty!"

"Say more!"

"Your Majesty, the Immortal Food will return to the country, and God bless the Tang Dynasty!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

well……"

What a fairy food to return to the country, what a friend of heaven, Datang!Li Er laughed wildly, and continued to laugh for a stick of incense. In the end, tears were in the corners of his eyes, and he tried to stay calm. He reached out and took the secret letter that the messenger was wearing next to him, opened it carefully, and quickly read it.

Three times in a row, the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, the hand holding the letter trembled more and more, and there seemed to be a lofty passion in my chest that had nowhere to burst out.

"Reward! Lingnan Messenger, a reward of one hundred taels per person, entertain you with a celebration banquet in the army.

Come, beat 36 Jujiang drums and 72 Zhenguo bells!

Open the Tai Chi Hall, and two hours later, there will be a grand court meeting in the Tai Chi Hall. "

The bells and drums are ringing!

This is a big event that may not happen once in a dynasty to be treated with such courtesy. The sound of horseshoes woke up the sleeping people, and the next Jujiang drum beat on the hearts of every general.

36 Jujiang drums, all the generals above the fifth rank in Chang'an must rush to the palace immediately. People have to report to the military headquarters or their own barracks immediately.

All the troops in the military camps in Chang’an need to return to the team within half a day. Whether they are old and unemployed at home, or on vacation at home, there are quite a few of them. The 36 drums will only be played at two times, one is when the country is in danger, and the other is a national event. At that time, at this time, Datang dominates the world, it seems that it is not a bad thing.

The 72 ringing of the town bell means that civil servants are summoned. All officials above the fifth rank will enter the palace to have an audience. Officials below the fifth rank will report to their own yamen and wait for the instructions of the superior.

Bai Fan was awakened by the sound of bells and drums while he was still in his dream, and he was puzzled, what needs the sound of bells and drums?
Li Wanping beside him patted the child who had just been woken up, and asked after the child fell asleep again: "Husband, the bells and drums are ringing together is a major event for the country, why don't you enter the court?"

The Bai family rarely employs servants, and the children are brought up by the wives themselves. Even the nanny Bai Fan insists on not allowing them to use them. Although the aunt and mother-in-law have quarreled a few times over this, they are all useless. Usually at home, children sleep with their mothers. Now that the children are two or three years old, it's better. When they couldn't leave before, the young mothers were really inseparable.

"My husband only has a title but no official position, and I have no part in these important national affairs.

The chiming of bells and drums is either great joy or great sorrow. It is estimated that there is no catastrophe in the current Tang Dynasty. It must be a happy event. " Bai Fan narrowed his eyes and said lazily.

This made Li Wanping speechless for a while, her husband is capable and selfless, but lazy and easygoing, he does not care about himself when he is busy, and does not move when he is free, it is really weird.

But Bai Fan's good dream is destined to be impossible, and the time is not long, there are guards on duty outside to report, people from the palace, and the servant Gao personally came to invite him.

Bai Fan shook his head and smiled wryly, this couldn't be Li Er's prank.

"Old Gao, what made you come here to disturb my sweet dreams? You don't know, I only have a title but no official position, and the sound of bells and drums can't control me."

Looking at Lan Tianhou in loose clothes in front of him, the servant Lao Gao was speechless for a while. The rumor that Lan Tianhou was happy and free and unrestrained was definitely not a lie.

"My lord, to be able to use the bells and drums to sing together is a national event!

Lord Hou has always been devoted to public affairs and disregarded selfishness, and cared most about state affairs, why is he so indifferent today? "

"Hahahaha, stop flattering. I, Bai Fan, am a villain. I have always only dealt with the country's ailments and difficulties. Who would dare to mess with the Tang Dynasty now? The sound of bells and drums must be a good thing. Even if it is a universal celebration, you can do it. I don't like to join in the fun .”

Lao Gao was speechless, and asked with a smile: "Master Hou, you don't want to join in the excitement when Xianliang returns home?"

Bai Fan's lazy expression froze, and he stepped forward and grabbed Lao Gao's collar, "What? Immortal food? The Southern Fleet is back?"

Seeing the success of the trick, Lao Gao laughed and nodded.

"Okay, you old guy, deliberately teasing me!
Come on, let me take you for a ride. "

Bai Fan laughed and cursed, holding Lao Gao's collar in one hand, and holding it in his hand, stomped his feet, jumped up, and strode at least tens of meters in one step. From a distance, it looked like he was flying in the air. And do the same.

Lao Gao is also a person with unique skills, he has no fear in his heart, but sighs secretly, Master Hou's skills have improved again, he said he is going for a ride, but is he impatient and dislikes walking slowly in the city?It must be fast to use the stunt to fly over the wall and walk in the sky.
