After receiving Li Xian's advice, brothers Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun naturally became enlightened. After discussing this, the two brothers decided to hold a banquet the next night and invite Gaozong, Empress Wu, Prince Li Hong, and King Pei Li Xian.
King Li Xian of Zhou, King Li Xulun of Yin, Lady Wu Shun of South Korea, Lady He Lan Minyue of Wei and others went to the house where their two brothers lived for a banquet.
Being able to invite so many dignitaries of the court, especially those in power in the empire such as Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu, was definitely a great honor for them. Therefore, the entire house was already decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy.
As the masters, brothers Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun led all the men in the house to stand outside the house, respectfully waiting for the driver to arrive. Although the wind was biting, they could not hide the joy on their faces.
Emperor Gaozong, Empress Wu and others did not keep them waiting. After about half an hour of waiting, they heard the sound of horse hooves in front of them. There were only a hundred knights on the horse, but they were all very heroic, carrying horses and carrying horses on their shoulders.
Bows and arrows, full of murderous intent, this team is naturally the most elite royal guard in the entire Tang Dynasty, and is also the emperor's exclusive guard - Baiqi.
There was only one person in the entire Tang Dynasty who could be worthy of riding hundreds of horses to clear the way, and that was the supreme emperor Gaozong.
I saw Emperor Gaozong slowly getting out of the carriage with the support of his chamberlain Cheng Lishi and the guidance of Empress Wu, and then came to the side of Brother Wu Weiliang and said with a smile: "Thanks to the kind invitation of my two uncles, today I will lead my wife and relatives to visit
Come and make trouble, I hope you won’t be offended.”
Although Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun were royal relatives, it was their first time to see the Holy Emperor. Now seeing Gaozong's kind smile and full of energy, they were all moved to tears and worshiped again: "Thanks to the Holy Emperor for not giving up, Jade Toe is here in person.
, I and others are extremely frightened. I hope that Your Majesty can show off his beauty at today's dinner, and I and others will be flattered."
But I saw Gaozong saying kindly: "You two don't need to be polite. This is a family banquet. We only talk about family affairs. Regardless of whether you are a king or a minister, you are both my wife and brother, and you are the master of this place. You are hosting a banquet and I am here to thank you for your hospitality."
, two nobles, please."
"Your Majesty's words make the ministers panic. Although your Majesty and I are relatives, we are also monarchs and ministers. Even though it is a family banquet, how can we dare to abandon the etiquette of monarchs and ministers? Your Majesty should invite you first, otherwise, even though the ministers all know this.
The emperor's kindness is so great that future generations may think that I am relying on the emperor's relatives to invite favors indiscriminately and have no regard for the emperor."
"Haha, my dear, you are being polite. In that case, I will be disrespectful." Gaozong was very satisfied with what Wu Weiliang said. He laughed and entered the palace gate accompanied by Empress Wu, and then entered the hall.
Originally, as governors, Yiwu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun could not own a house at this time and place. However, the envoy Lu Dunxin, who was responsible for allocating the house, gave them a spacious house because they were royal relatives.
Just in time to use it to entertain the emperor, empress and others.
After some humility, everyone sat down. Gaozong, as the supreme leader, was of course assigned to the chief position, followed by Empress Wu and Prince Li Hong, then Mrs. Korea, Mrs. Wei, Li Xian, Li Xian, Li Xulun and others.
.
As soon as the banquet started, Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun clapped their hands, and then they heard the sound of music, and a group of orchids with tall noses and deep eyes twisted their soft waists and danced gracefully, making people applaud and praise them endlessly.
After the dance was over, the Wu Weiliang brothers stood up together, bowed their hands to Emperor Gaozong and said, "Your Majesty, I have prepared a dish today, specially presented to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Queen."
"Oh, I wonder what kind of dish it is?" Gaozong was immediately interested when he heard this and said with a smile.
But Wu Weiliang smiled mysteriously, then clapped his hands gently, and then saw several servants carrying a huge wooden tray into the hall, and on the wooden tray was a complete roasted lamb.
"It's just a roasted sheep. Is there anything new about it?" Gaozong couldn't help but asked, feeling very strange.
But Wu Weiliang smiled mysteriously, and then said: "Your Majesty, please be patient for a moment, there will be a good show soon."
Then he saw a man waiting nearby took out a short knife and cut open the belly of the roasted lamb. Only then did Emperor Gaozong see that the belly of the roasted lamb had been sewn shut.
After the bullies cut open the belly of the sheep, Gaozong saw that there was actually a fragrant roast goose hidden inside!
I saw Wu Weiliang smiling as he personally brought the roast goose meat cut by Bu Ren to Gaozong, Empress Wu and others, and then said with a smile: "This dish is called Hun Yang Shihu, and it is a famous dish from the Western Regions.
The method is very particular. Wash the goose, put the five-flavored meat and glutinous rice into the goose belly. Then kill the sheep, peel the skin, remove the internal organs, put the goose into the sheep belly and sew it up properly, roast it over high heat, and wait until it is done.
After it is cooked, take the goose from the belly of the sheep and eat it. As for the sheep, it is only used for flavor and can be discarded at this time."
"The Hun Yang is dead? I have never eaten this dish before, and today I will try my new dish." After saying this, Gaozong picked up the ivory chopsticks and prepared to taste the fragrant roast goose.
Unexpectedly, Empress Wu suddenly stretched out her hand to stop her and said: "Your Majesty, wait a minute. Although this dish is novel, I don't know if it is delicious without trying it. Your Majesty is the supreme king in the world, how can you try it yourself? If the taste is not good, your Majesty's spleen and stomach will be lost."
It is my concubine's and my brother's fault. According to my concubine, it is better to find a close confidant to give your Majesty a try. If it is really delicious, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to eat it again."
"Well, what the queen said makes sense." Gaozong nodded after hearing this, then stopped his chopsticks and asked, "I just don't know who should try it on my behalf this time?"
"Haha, naturally I will do this for you. As your Majesty's wife, I should be responsible for the food and daily life. How can anyone in this world replace me?" Empress Wu smiled at the corner of her eyes, and then glanced around casually,
He glanced provocatively at Helan Minyue, the wife of Wei State not far away, and then stretched out his ivory chopsticks to get food.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, Helan Minyue stood up, and then slowly saluted Gaozong and Empress Wu: "The queen just said that your majesty is worth a thousand pieces of gold. This is true, but the queen has forgotten that she herself is also
She is a daughter of a daughter, and many important matters in the court are waiting for the queen's assistance. If something goes wrong because of this roast goose, wouldn't it be a missed event? I am the niece of the queen, your majesty is my uncle, the queen is my aunt, and I am a concubine.
I grew up in the palace and was favored by Your Majesty and the Queen, treating her as my own daughter. Today is the time for me to fulfill my filial piety, so I am bold and request to try this dish for Your Majesty. I wonder what the Queen’s wishes are?”
Helan Minyue had been competing with the queen for favor since she was in the palace, and she made the emperor fascinated by her youth. She couldn't control herself. How could she give up this opportunity to "take care of the emperor's food and daily life" to others? So after Empress Wu proposed it,
He stood up without hesitation and said without hesitation.
"Haha, Yue'er, it's better for my aunt to come to this matter. My aunt is older than you and has more experience in this area. After all, you are young. If you feel a little unwell, how do you know how to deal with it?"
Although Empress Wu's words were ostensibly about tasting the food for Gaozong, in Helan Minyue's ears, it had a different taste, that is, she was laughing at herself for being too young and inexperienced in serving Gaozong, and was not worthy of competing with him.
Helan Minyue had always thought that her beauty was better than that of Empress Wu, and she was even planning to use it as capital to instigate Gaozong to depose Empress Wu and establish herself. Now that she saw the provocation from the other party, how could she endure it? She quickly refuted: "What my aunt said is wrong.
Well, although Yue'er is young, she knows the way of doing it very well, and her accumulated experience is not inferior to that of my aunt. My aunt is busy with affairs and diligent in political affairs. Let Yue'er do the work of serving the Holy Lord."
After finishing speaking, Helan Minyue ignored what Empress Wu said, stretched out her ivory chopsticks to hold a piece of goose meat, and took a hard bite. Then a look of aftertaste and admiration suddenly appeared on her face, and she laughed loudly: "It's really delicious.
, Delicate and refreshing, it makes one's fingers twitch. This kind of deliciousness is truly unique in the world. Haha, to be the first one to taste such a delicacy in the world, Yue'er is really worthy of his trip. Ah..."
"Yue'er, Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" Wu Shun, the Korean lady on the side, saw her daughter suddenly sweating profusely, clutching her abdomen in pain, and almost lying on her back. She quickly supported her daughter and asked with concern.
"This, this dish is poisonous." It was very difficult for Helan Minyue to speak at this time. By the time she finished speaking, her orifices were bleeding and her whole body was turning purple.
"Yue'er, Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, mother." Wu Shun hugged his daughter, gently wiped away the black blood flowing out of Helan Minyue, and cried loudly.
"This, this, Yue'er, you were fine just now, why are you like this now?" Emperor Gaozong saw that Helan Minyue had already been poisoned in just a moment, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and shouted quickly: "
Go and ask the Taiyuan Hospital to worship her. Go and ask the Taiyuan Hospital to worship her. You must save my Yue'er at any cost."
As Gaozong said this, he was about to walk towards Helan Minyue.
Unexpectedly, Empress Wu suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said loudly: "Your Majesty, no, Yue'er's body is highly poisoned, it must be due to the conspiracy of thieves. If Your Majesty comes, I am afraid that some young people will take the opportunity to assassinate him. Please, Your Majesty."
Jiangshan Sheji is..."
"Go away." Before Empress Wu could say the word "heavy", Gaozong yelled, tore off her sleeves, and then continued to go to Helan Minyue.
"Baiqi, escort." Without anyone seeing it, Empress Wu glared at Gaozong bitterly, and then shouted loudly, asking Baiqi to stand in front of Gaozong, cutting off Gaozong's last attempt to see Helan Minyue.
One side passage.
"Yue'er, Yue'er." Gaozong cried bitterly. In the end, he couldn't help but his eyes went black and he fell straight to the ground...
