The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 260
My embarrassing cancer is about to commit. In the last chapter, I mistyped the name of the chapter, and the background cannot be modified. Let it be like this, don’t bother editing, it will be an anti-piracy version.
Linde Hall is resplendent and resplendent, located on the high ground to the west of Taiye Pool. It was built only in the fifth year of Zhenguan. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, and the national power gradually became richer and stronger. Congratulations from all over the world, in order to show the magnanimity of the great Tang Dynasty As a result, the Linde Hall was specially built, and then it became a place for His Majesty Li Er's banquet, informal reception of foreign envoys and entertainment.Every palace in the imperial palace is very particular about its construction. All the palaces sit north and face south. According to the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, the east is wood, the south is fire, the west is gold, and the north is water.

The emperor is the son of heaven, the incarnation of a real dragon, and he should sit on the water level to press the fire level, in an attempt to keep the imperial dynasty forever.

Although this kind of attempt is useless, in terms of Feng Shui, it is extremely correct to sit north and face south.

The emperor sits north facing south, looking at the emperor's pole, which also symbolizes receiving ministers, listening to the world's government affairs, and symbolizing facing the light and governing the world.

But when this kind of statement came to Xuan Shijing, he would just lazily say: It's good to face the south, and the sun is comfortable.

His Highness Linde has a two-story platform. The main hall itself is composed of three main halls at the front, middle and back. The three halls are nine rooms wide, and facing the main hall is an empty square. There should be some polo matches.

When Xuan Shijing and Fang Yiai arrived at Linde Hall, there were already nearly a thousand people waiting quietly in front of the hall, including princes and relatives, royal family members, important officials of the court, and envoys from various countries who came to congratulate them, as well as waiting for them. An entertainer who performs theatrical arts.

Although there were many people, they were organized and orderly under the guidance of the eunuchs and maids in the palace. The number of Habayashi troops patrolling outside the Linde Hall increased several times. of.

"Brother Yi Ai, don't you sit with your father?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Fang Yiai looked at Xuan Shijing contemptuously: "Xuanhou, is this your first time participating in this kind of palace banquet?"

Xuan Shijing thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, I participated once when I was young."

"Forget it, I won't be particular about it with you. For banquets of this level, young people in the imperial capital usually sit together alone. His Majesty and the Queen's Empress are at the top, followed by the prince's family members. There are princess consorts and others, followed by the court ministers and foreign envoys, if there is a noble person among the foreign envoys, they will sit opposite the royal family members."

"Oh, so we are sitting together?" Xuan Shijing said.

Fang Yiai shook her head: "Where are you sitting, I don't know, after all, you are also a marquis, different from us idlers."

Xuan Shijing inherited Xuan Mingde's title, because he had no merits, so Xuan Mingde's Jin Guogong came to Xuan Shijing and was downgraded to a marquis. Even so, His Majesty Li Er never treated Xuan Shijing badly. , One should be treated like a prince and grandson.

The banquet has not officially started yet, so the young people in the imperial capital gathered together in twos and threes. The crown prince Li Chengqian was the most crowded around. Li Tai and Li Ke sat quietly on the side, occasionally chatting with the foreign envoys who came and went. Greetings have never been out of courtesy.

"Let's go, it seems that His Highness Wu Wang and Wei Wang are the cleanest around." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Li Chengqian's crown prince position is as stable as Mount Tai, and the most competitive princes are Li Ke and Li Tai, but they have no such intentions at all, so all the ministers who come and go rush to Li Chengqian.

Fang Yiai followed Xuan Shijing to Li Ke and Li Tai's side. The two found a soft couch, pulled it over, and sat down.

Xuan Shijing entered the palace in a hurry in the morning, and hadn't even eaten breakfast, so she was really hungry at the moment.

"The two of you are free." Xuan Shijing smiled, then picked up the pastry on the table and ate it, and waved to the little eunuch who was waiting beside him: "Go get me some water, I'm a little thirsty .”

"Yes, Lord Hou." The little eunuch bowed and retreated.

"It's a pleasure to be alone." Li Ke said with a smile: "The banquet in this palace is actually like this. It's nothing more than a gathering of people, chatting, and enhancing their relationship. This kind of hypocrisy is really boring."

"That's right, Xiaojing, eat slowly, no one is robbing you, why are you so hungry, didn't you eat in the morning?" Li Tai saw that Xuan Shijing was eating in a hurry, and the little eunuch hadn't come back yet, he was afraid that Xuan Shijing would choke Then, he poured him a glass of wine in a teacup.

"Don't tell me, I really didn't eat in the morning. Your Royal Highness Wei Wang, you attend this kind of banquet all the year round, why don't you invite you to eat? The official opening of the banquet is not for you to eat," Xuan Shijing said, and he was not ashamed to say that he is now If you want to eat quickly, you may have to fight with the officials in a while.

Sure enough, making love with each other is the most annoying thing.
"By the way, I heard that the foreign envoys came to Datang intending to make peace with Datang?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Li Tai nodded: "That's right, Lu Dongzan of Tubo, Gao Huanquan of Goguryeo, and the elders of the six kingdoms of Nanzhao also came to ask their new king to marry a princess."

"Which princess do they want to marry?" Xuan Shijing put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked with narrowed eyes.

"Lu Dongzan asked Sizi for Tubo Songtsan Gampo, and Gao Huanquan of Goguryeo also liked Sizi. As for other foreign countries, I didn't say anything, but the first target must be Sizi." Li Tai sneered Said: "A bunch of delusional guys."

"This group of bastards!" Xuan Shijing raised his eyebrows: "Songtsan Gampo already has a concubine, so he dares to come to Datang to ask for a princess? Will the princess of Datang give him a side room? It seems that Wei Guo You didn’t frighten them.”

Before Songtsan Gampo sent Lu Dongzan to the Tang Dynasty, in order to consolidate his throne in Tubo, he had already married Princess Chizun of Nibora. Xuan Shijing also asked people to find out about this from a Tubo businessman in Chang'an City. Now, I actually want to marry a princess from the Tang Dynasty as my concubine. What are you thinking about?

As for Gao Huanquan, His Majesty Li Er has already seen Gao Huanquan's pussy temperament, and he probably dislikes it in his heart. Moreover, the relationship between Datang and Goguryeo is very delicate now. Goguryeo's marriage strategy this time may also be aborted.

Li Ke smiled: "No, it's because Wei Guogong frightened them that they came to Datang to ask for peace. As far as they are concerned, they are no longer a threat, as long as they step on the plateau, Tang's army will defeat them, unless Tubo hides on the plateau all his life and cannot come down, otherwise, he will only be beaten."

"The terrain in Tubo is indeed a headache, but it is not impossible. If the soldiers of the Great Tang cannot adapt to the plateau climate, then no matter how long it takes, when they face Tubo, the Tang army will always suffer. .”

"What can Jing'er do?" Behind Xuan Shijing came a voiced question, turned his head and saw that it was Niu Jinda who came over.
