This is a weird thing in the world, 400,000 people died on the same day.
The white bones are higher than the snow in Taihang, and the blood bursts into Fenliu purple.
What's the point of saying that you have a sharp head and a straight head? Ru Cao committed suicide, Lord Pingyuan.
The crows are full and the ghost carriages are weeping. Even now this place is full of sorrow and clouds.
Farmers often praise the relics, saying that the flowers and flowers are green after thousands of years of war.
Even if Fang Shuo pours water, there will always be Wu Xian who can't move him.
If you don’t see me, the Qin people in Xin’an will be worried all night, and two hundred thousand ghosts will chirp.

…
Recently, the Tang army achieved great victories in Duji Road and Henan Road. Suzong Longyan was delighted and held a banquet for his ministers in the Linde Hall.
Linde Hall is majestic. In the majestic square in front of the hall, a royal road is paved with large bluestone slabs and gray bricks, leading directly to the gate of the hall.
Bai Fu got off the bus at the palace gate and walked towards the square in front of the palace.
At this time, hundreds of guests had gathered in the square, mainly court officials and family members, but also foreign envoys.
Whether they are courtiers, or palace maids dancing, all of them are in bloom, with rich and colorful clothes, covered with pearls and fragrant temples, adding infinite beauty to the night banquet.
Everyone was in groups, each looking for people they knew well to chat.
Two teams of Liyuan musicians in the square played melodious Qiuci music, with the flutes and flutes ringing in unison, and the bells and drums ringing in unison, adding to the festive atmosphere of the night banquet.
When Bai Fu walked into the square, he realized how popular he was in the court. Senior officials and ministers from the three provinces and six ministries, whether they knew him or not, rushed to greet him and make friends with him.
Bai Fu was very busy. He had just greeted General Zuo Qianniu Guard Li Fu, King of Jiyin County, and General General Li Hao, King of Gaoyi, who were on duty tonight, when he was taken away by Wei Zhi, Li Ruoyou and other courtiers and introduced them to him.
The family members were introduced to Bai Fu.

After finally breaking free and chatting with Mr. Yan Zhenqing, Liu Yan and others came over again and gathered around Bai Fu to discuss political affairs.
Brother Li Qiu, King of Siqing, passed by and was overjoyed to see Bai Fu. Liu Yan did not allow him to argue, so he pulled Bai Fu to his side and said, "We brothers will have a carnival tonight. We will never come back unless we get drunk."
Thinking of the physical discomfort after being drunk, Bai Fu felt a headache, but he couldn't refuse Li Qiu's warm invitation.
about.
Bai Fu asked: "What are the arrangements and programs for tonight's banquet?"
Xinping County Prince Li Yan pretended to be mysterious and said: "Tonight's banquet is very interesting, and there will be a wonderful competition in front of the palace."
Bai Fu said in astonishment: "How can fighting with weapons be allowed in the Forbidden Palace?"
Li Yandao: "During festive seasons, it was a tradition of the Li and Tang royal family to compete in martial arts before the court.
Of course, the martial arts contestants are only on point, and there will be no death from serious injuries. It is precisely because of the strong martial arts in the Tang Dynasty that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can be invincible in the world.
After Wu Zhao ascended the throne, he was worried that the knights would violate the ban by using force, so he abolished the martial arts competition ceremony in front of the court and changed it to Cuju or polo competitions.
During this period, under the management of Jingzhao Mansion and Jinwu Guard, the Chang'an Gladiator Arena was transformed from underground to public. Gladiator combat changed from a cruel killing game to a arena for warriors to compete, and the gladiators also changed from the bloodthirsty barbarity of the past.
The husband's image became a Kung Fu hero sought after and worshiped by the people, and martial arts practice became popular again in the Tang Dynasty.
Nowadays, wars are ongoing, and it is the time when iron-blooded warriors are needed.
Your Majesty decrees that the competition in front of the palace will be resumed."
Bai Fu suddenly realized.
The King of Yue, Li Xi, was the first prince to arrive. Immediately, groups of ministers came to congratulate him. Just looking at the momentum, one knew that the King of Yue, Li Xi, was highly supported by the courtiers.
King Li Xi of Yue was very friendly and greeted each of his important ministers politely.
When passing by Bai Fu, Yue King Li Xi greeted Bai Fu with a smile on his face. However, whether to avoid suspicion or for other reasons, Li Xi did not exchange too many greetings with Bai Fu. On the contrary, he was not as close as before.
Bai Fu was very sensitive and vaguely felt that there must be a reason for this.
There was a sudden commotion in the procession entering the palace. It turned out to be the arrival of Fuso Saint Rika Fujiwara. Her exotic attire made the courtiers compete to see her.
Fujiwara Rika is indeed a fusion of an angel and a devil. Her innocent face, graceful waist like a mermaid, coupled with the mysterious identity of the saint of Yinse Shrine, are tempting to find out.
…
The princes and princesses arrived one after another.
Princess Qingluan arrived, accompanied by Princess Changle and Princess Ningguo.
Today, Princess Qingluan is dressed extraordinarily beautifully, and her every move and smile captivates all sentient beings.
Princess Qingluan moved lightly towards Bai Fu, attracting many envious and jealous eyes.
When she came to Bai Fu, everyone, including brothers Li Qiu and Li Yan, were overwhelmed by her elegant and noble beauty.
Princess Qingluan ignored everyone and looked at Bai Fu lovingly with her sharp eyes.
Everyone resigned knowingly, leaving their time to the first lovers of the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Qingluan gently held Bai Fu's arm and said as she walked: "Brother Fu, I know you have some quarrel with the prince brother, but he is my biological brother after all. If you continue to have a stalemate like this, it makes me very embarrassed."
Bai Fu was stunned for a moment and said, "Luan'er, why are you talking about this?"
Princess Qingluan said: "Tonight's competition in front of the palace, according to the royal family's tradition of martial arts, two adult princes will be randomly selected to fight for fun. However, the prince himself does not need to play, he only needs to send his warriors to play.
Now, in addition to the prince, King Li Xi of Yue, King Peng Li Ji, King Yan Li Xu, King Jiang Li Quan, and King Jing Li Qian are all adults, and they all have the possibility of being drawn.
Brother Xie Huang wanted you to fight on his behalf, but I sternly refused.
You hold military power and have a special status. If you go out on his behalf, it will be like telling the world that you support Brother Huang..."
Only then did Bai Fu understand why Yue King Li Xi had some subtle changes in his attitude towards him.
Bai Fu nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, we can't help each other."
Princess Qingluan said: "The imperial brother is the general marshal of the world's troops. Just like the King of Qin back then, he is becoming more and more disrespectful to the prince brother, and the threat is getting bigger and bigger. The competition between the two royal brothers is getting more and more fierce. I am worried that they will make the same mistake again.
Let the Xuanwumen incident happen again.
Bai Fu shook his head and said: "Luan'er, if this day comes, none of us will support it, okay?"
Qingluan sighed and said: "Brother Fu, we members of the royal family have seen this kind of thing a lot. Other princes and princesses may be neutral and not choose sides. But I am different. There is a difference between closeness and distance. I can only side with the prince."
Brother’s side.”
After saying that, Princess Qingluan stopped, stared into Bai Fu's eyes, and begged sincerely: "Brother Fu, can you reconcile with the prince brother?"
I have never begged you, but I will beg you once this time. If there really is a fight for the throne, I hope you can support the prince brother."
Bai Fu remained silent.
Princess Qingluan bit her jade lips tightly, let go of Bai Fu's arms in disappointment, and left.
…
Bai Fu's mood suddenly hit rock bottom.
Walking into the hall, the hall was already 80% full. Although it was full of distinguished guests, it was a palace banquet. Everyone was solemn and self-possessed, sitting upright and not daring to make any noise.
Bai Fu knelt down and sat on the couch, not in the mood to chat with the officials around him.
Suddenly, everyone around him stood up one after another. Bai Fuzheng didn't know what was going on, but he saw Fuso Saint Fujiwara Rika, led by the eunuch in charge of the court banquet, walking towards him and sitting at the same table with Bai Fu. Everyone at the nearby seats showed envy.
look.
The chamberlain eunuch personally opened the table for Saint Fuso and invited her to take a seat.
Fujiwara Rika smiled slyly and said: "I fought for this seat from Your Majesty. Of all of you here, only General Bai has ridden the wind and waves with me. Naturally, we have more common topics, so the banquet will not be too boring."
Bai Fu knew that this woman was cunning and cunning, and she was not as simple as she said.
Bai Fu smiled coldly and said: "I would like to see how long your fox tail can be hidden. Be careful and you will die in Chang'an."
Fujiwara Rika narrowed her eyes, and the enchanting twins smiled like a crescent moon, and said: "General Bai is such a powerful official! To tell you the truth, since I dared to come to Chang'an, I have never been afraid of you.
Let's see who wins."
Others could not hear the content of the conversation between the two, and they only felt that the two were like a bickering couple. One was aggressive, the other was angry and willful.
Princess Qingluan kept looking here and saw the two of them flirting and looking intimate, and she was very angry. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she hid in Princess Ningguo's arms, wiping her tears.
When Fujiwara Rika saw that Bai Fu ignored her, she was not angry. She left Bai Fu alone and talked with the surrounding courtiers and Numaki. Fujiwara Rika was generous and decent, chatting and laughing, and instantly became the focus of the group.
Bai Fu was already sulky, and now he was even more uncomfortable. He drank alone without waiting for the banquet.
