Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 688 Linde Hosts a Banquet
Li Canghai glanced at Song Kun, although he didn't have much contact with Song Kun, but when he was in Luoyang, he already knew that he was Yang Guozhong's supporter.

"Master Song is just joking. I am just a vulgar person who can only solve cases, but I am not as good as Master Song in managing all kinds of affairs. If Master Song hadn't frequented Yingchun Building, the income of the whole brothel industry would have dropped to a freezing point! Say it like this Come on, Mr. Song has devoted himself to the economic development of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Canghai said with a half-smile.

Song Kun had never heard of terms like economic development, but he could understand what Li Canghai said, especially when he heard the words 'Yingchun Tower', his face changed instantly.

"Master Li, what do you mean?" Song Kun pretended to be confused, staring at Li Canghai and asked angrily.

Li Canghai shrugged his shoulders, and said casually: "I'm just reminding my lord that although this brothel is good, don't be too greedy, otherwise it will not only hurt your spirit, but also hurt your body!"

Which of the people in the court is not a shrewd person, they immediately understood, and burst into laughter.

"You... hum!"

After being exposed by Li Canghai, Song Kun's old face immediately turned red.

But when it comes to talking, he knew he was not Li Canghai's opponent, so he shook off his sleeves angrily, and gave Li Canghai a hard look.

Li Canghai was too lazy to look at him, and walked directly towards Cui Huan and the others.

"Sir, it's really you! You don't even use dirty words when swearing. If I had the eloquence of Mr., I would have to say that he vomited three liters of blood!" Li Yu said excitedly.

Li Canghai and Li Tan looked at each other and nodded.

After many things, there is a tacit understanding between him and Li Tan.

There is no need to say much about this kind of tacit understanding, as long as the two sides look at each other, they can understand each other, which even Li Canghai finds it a little inconceivable.

"Sir, how do you know that Song Kun often visits 'Yingchun Tower'?" Li Yu asked like a curious baby, scratching his ears and cheeks.

Li Canghai glanced at Song Kun, and Yang Guozhong, who had no expression on his face and never glanced at him from the beginning to the end, smiled slightly and said, "I'm just guessing casually."

Li Yu couldn't help being stunned, even Cui Huan and the others looked at Li Canghai in surprise.

"Just a random guess?" Li Yu obviously didn't believe it. It's a bit too miraculous that a random guess can guess other people's minds.

Li Canghai smiled calmly, and said: "Last night, when I passed the 'Yingchun Building', I vaguely saw him coming out of it, so I made this assertion."

"Eh... But what if the master guesses wrong?" Li Yu rolled his eyes.

Li Canghai said disapprovingly: "Nine times out of ten, civil and military men in the dynasty have been to brothels. Even if my guess is wrong, it doesn't matter. They will still think that Song Kun has been to brothels, but they can't escape the ridicule of him." of."

"Haha, I see. It turns out that the master has already made a plan to make him look bad!" Li Yu said happily.

Li Canghai did not speak, but turned his attention to Yang Guozhong.

From the beginning to the end, Yang Guozhong never glanced at him, which made Li Canghai a little strange and made him a little uneasy.

"The Holy Majesty is here!" With a clear shout, Li Longji stepped onto the dragon chair with the support of Gao Lishi.

"Your Majesty, my ministers, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Everyone loves you!" Li Longji seemed to be in good spirits and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Today is New Year's Eve. In the past year, thanks to all of you, the Tang Dynasty was able to be so stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is peaceful. Qing, you don't have to stick to your love, just enjoy it!" Li Longji said.

"I wait and thank Your Majesty Long En!"

After bowing down to Li Longji repeatedly, the ministers walked to the tables on both sides of the main hall and sat down.

Soon, some palace ladies came up with all kinds of delicacies.

On the Zhang Xu long table, there are all kinds of delicacies, some of which have never been seen before.

Linde Hall was the place where the emperor held important banquets during the season when he entertained foreign countries. The whole hall was very grand and spacious, and nearly a hundred people attended the banquet at the same time without feeling crowded at all.

The emperor first said some polite words, and then the emperor and his ministers drank and raised their glasses to enjoy themselves.

Although Li Canghai had participated in several imperial banquets, he still felt somewhat repulsed by such occasions.

It's not that he doesn't like excitement, it's that he can't understand the people who are clearly opposed, but pretends to be close relatives and friends, and when they are drinking and drinking, they are even more tit-for-tat.

The banquet started at Chen hour and lasted until night fell. During this period, An Lushan sent a special envoy to greet Li Longji with dozens of rare treasures. This made Li Longji very happy. In front of the officials, Great praise for Anlu Mountain.

While Li Longji was entertaining the officials, Yang Yuhuan was also entertaining the wives of the officials in the harem.

Originally, it was the job of the queen to entertain the wives of the officials, but since Li Longji accepted Yang Yuhuan as his concubine, his whole mind has been put on her alone.

Although Yang Yuhuan is not a queen, she is more like a queen.

In the Royal Concubine Garden of the Harem, Yang Yuhuan hosted a banquet in honor of the imperial wives, the wives who protect the country, and the daughters of various important ministers.

Di Qing, as the imperial concubine princess, is naturally included in this list.

Different from the official banquet, this harem banquet is more about discussing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as poetry, singing and dancing.

Of course, most of these are not for their own pleasure, but to cater to the preferences of the imperial concubine.

No one in the world knows that noble concubines are good at dancing and joy, if they can become friends with noble concubines, then their husband will not be prosperous?

Among them, only Di Qing has no interest in these things.

She was sitting on the warming bed, with her chin propped on her hands, and almost dozed off. If Li Canghai hadn't told her to hold back her temper before entering the palace, she probably would have gone home long ago.

In this harem, she couldn't stay for a moment, she was so bored, so she ran to the eaves to build a snowman.

Although Yang Yuhuan likes singing and dancing, she also knows that the ladies in front of her don't like singing and dancing.

Accustomed to seeing too much flattery, Yang Yuhuan was somewhat disappointed. Besides the emperor, is there no other person to talk to in this world?

Yang Yuhuan, who was somewhat lost, walked out slowly with grape wine in hand, but inadvertently saw Di Qing who was building a snowman.

Different from the mutual compliments and flattery of all the ladies and ladies, Di Qing is like a snow lotus blooming in the desert.

Yang Yuhuan stared at Di Qing for a long time, and suddenly said with great interest: "My sister, why do I feel a little familiar with you? Have we met somewhere?"
