Red Tang

Updated: 2013-01-02

In the music and songs of the three thousand worlds, in the splendid scenery of the twelve capitals.

Win the bright sun and moon in the deep palace, and the silver zither and sandalwood board have a new tune.

Surrounded by light mist, inside Chang'an City, the moonlight is thickening.

In the Mingde Hall of the Daming Palace, Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was holding a banquet to celebrate the birthday of the imperial concubine Yuhuan.

The regulation of this banquet is a family banquet, and the guests attending the banquet are either princes and grandchildren, or princesses and princesses.Except for a very small number of dignitaries who have received the favor of the emperor, few foreign ministers can step on the stone steps of Mingde Hall at this time of the moonlight.

Of course, except for the Yang family.

Regardless of Yang Zhao, the imperial censor Zhong Cheng of Shengju Zhenglong, all the five Yangs in the capital have arrived.

Mrs. Guo, Mrs. South Korea, and Mrs. Qin have fluttering sleeves, wearing clothes and dragging the floor, envious of many princes and grandchildren; Yang Kai, Minister of Sinonong Temple, and Yang Yu'e, Minister of Taipu Temple, have crowns and bodice belts, and they have captured countless princesses heart.

The power of the Yang family has reached such a height that even Li Linfu, the Right Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, did not dare to speak directly to him.

In the main hall, there are light dances with sleeves and palace merchants intertwined, creating a scene of auspiciousness and beauty. (Note 1)

But Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was not even half-interested.These days, he was very depressed. The battle reports from Longyou came one after another, but none of them made him feel at ease!Ge Shuhan either poured bitter water on him in the memorial, talked about the shortage of food and grass supply, or asked for a little more time, so that Tang Jun could give full play to the advantage of numbers.Little did he know that the rice grain in Taicang was already beyond his means. In order to calm down the price of rice in Beijing, he had ordered Li Linfu to collect grain from wealthy families.In this way, the price of food has come down, but it has also offended the wealthy and aristocratic families in Guanlong all over the place!For the battle in Longyou, he, Li Longji, tightened his belt and took out all the money from his private treasury, but his brother Shu Han still felt wronged!

Hmph, if his elder brother Shu Han has a grievance, he can go to the table to ask for it, but to whom can he tell his own difficulties?

Of course, the battle reports from the front line also pleased him.In a secret report sent on the fifth day of May, the military supervisor Wang Xianzhong specifically praised a low-ranking officer.Hmm, what seems to be Li Kuo's name?This kid actually led more than 500 Tang soldiers across Qinghai, and burned down the grain depot in Fucheng City!This made him very excited for several days. You must know that Fuqi City has hoarded a large amount of military rations on the eastern front of Tubo. In this way, if the food is not transferred from Luoxie City and Wuhai in time, the Tubo people will not even have enough to eat. I can't even eat it!

However, what made Li Longji dissatisfied was that Ge Shuhan did not state this matter in the official commendation.The date written in Wang Xianzhong's secret memorial to himself is the fifth day of May. It is impossible for Ge Shuhan to get the news later than Wang Xianzhong.It would take at most three days for the urgent military report in Longyou five hundred miles. Ge Shuhan has not mentioned this matter until now. Could it be that he wants to suppress this young man's military exploits?

snort!He, Li Longji, hates Jiang Jiedu playing tricks on him the most, the examples of Wang Zhongsi and Huangfu Weiming are right in front of him, does his brother Shu Han think he is smarter than these two?

It seems that it is time for me to beat him up, just now I have been serving as Longyou Jiedu to deceive myself like this, if in a few more years Longyou's army will not become his brother Shuhan's private soldiers?

"Sanlang, I see you are frowning, what are you unhappy about?" Yang Yuhuan was wearing a light yellow palace dress skirt today, and her breasts were half exposed, which is really charming.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I'm just worrying about Longyou's affairs." Seeing Yang Yuhuan's suet-like face, Li Longji felt his heart tremble, and the sadness on his face dissipated instantly.

"Didn't Saburo just receive a good report a few days ago, why aren't you happy?" Yang Yuhuan picked up a Gaochang grape and handed it to Li Longji's mouth.

Li Longji swallowed the grapes in one gulp and said: "Well, there is indeed a good news. A Longyou military officer led a crowd to the west bank of Qinghai, and set fire to the barn of the Tubo people."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Yang Yuhuan usually never asks about the political affairs of foreign courts, so although she knew through Gao Lishi's relationship that Sanlang had received a Longyou victory report, she didn't know what it was about.

"Then Saburo should reward him well." Yang Yuhuan half-closed her eyes and leaned on Li Longji's chest.

"Well, of course. I have always been very clear about rewards and punishments, and I will never let a hero feel disappointed. I will reward him as Yuhuan said to reward him." Li Longji felt very comfortable in his chest, and he agreed casually. .

"I heard that the general is very young, Fang and seventeen?" Yang Yuhuan handed Li Longji a cup of fine wine, and Shi Shiran smiled. "In this way, the slave family wants this young man to be a master to teach the slave family kung fu. I wonder if the house family will allow it?" (Note 2)

Li Longji waved his hand and said: "What's so difficult about this, if he knows that he can become the master of Aifei, he will laugh secretly. Even I, I have never had the opportunity to teach Yuhuan shooting skills."

Hearing the jealousy in his words, Yang Yuhuan said coquettishly: "Look at you, your heart is as small as that needle nose."

Knowing that Concubine Yang was teasing on purpose, Li Longji didn't think it was annoyed: "Well, yes, my heart is so small because of Yuhuan."

"Your Majesty, this piece of "The King of Qin Breaking the Battle" made the blood of the ministers boil. I wish I could raise my sword to Longyou immediately, and recover the old land of Hehuang for Your Majesty." (Note 3)

Yushi Zhongcheng Yang Zhao saw that Li Longji was in a good mood, so he quickly stood up and walked to the imperial case, bowed down and bowed.

"Well, Datang has such a pillar of talent as Yang Qing, and I have such a loyal minister with humerus, why should I be unhappy in Datang?"

Li Longji nodded towards Yang Zhao in satisfaction, and sent out his compliments without hesitation.Yang Zhao is very good at being a human being, and his timing is very appropriate.Every time I talk about it, I feel very comfortable in my heart.

"I don't dare to be a minister. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is all due to your majesty. If it weren't for your majesty's double pupils, how could all the officials be able to make the best use of them, and how could scholars serve the court? If it weren't for your majesty's broad mind, How did the barbarians submit to my Tang Dynasty, and how did the barbarians admire my Chinese culture. Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live. God Khan, long live, long live, long live."

Boom, boom, boom!

Yang Zhao bowed down and kowtowed three times.

"Hehe, Yang Qing is really my Zhang Zifang and Xun Wenruo. Come on, let's continue to play music. Jinguang.

Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, only felt that he was full of pride, and the neon clothes and feather clothes played the peace, as if he had returned to the lush years decades ago.
