Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne.
Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the authenticity of his life?
——Excerpt from "Five Poems Part Three" by Bai Juyi
…
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The bells rang and drums sounded, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty arrived. Nearly a thousand guests stood in the hall to greet him.
Suzong led the harem concubines and princes filed into the hall, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became boiling.
After Suzong and the concubines were seated, Prince Li Chu and other princes also led their concubines and took their seats in order of precedence. After Li Chu was King Li Xi of Yue, followed by King Peng Li Ji, King Yan Li Xu and other royal members.
Fujiwara Rika looked at the concubines and said to herself: "It turns out that there are many concubines who like to wear flowers on their hair. I thought that the noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty only wore gold steps."
Fujiwara Rika turned her head, smiled slightly at Bai Fu and said: "General Bai, please do me a favor. Could you please pick a bouquet of flowers from the vase next to you and give it to me?"
Bai Fu glanced at Fujiwara Rika, took out a flower from the vase, and handed it to Fujiwara Rika.
The branches of this bouquet of flowers had thorns, but Bai Fu didn't notice that the branches pricked the tip of his finger, causing a small drop of blood to appear.
Fujiwara Rika smiled brightly and said softly: "General Bai, there is no bronze mirror here, please help me put the flowers on the corners of my hair."
Bai Fu ignored her and drank alone.
Fujiwara Rika didn't care, cut off the flower branches, put the bouquet on her hair, and said: "It is said that the Tang Dynasty has many romantic talents. I think our General Bai is also a man who doesn't understand the charm. I don't know how the princess fell in love with him in the first place.
you."
After saying that, he smiled provocatively at Bai Fu.
After the Li Tang royal family took their seats, all the ministers and guests in the palace, led by the prince, made three toasts to Suzong, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.
Suzong raised the wine bottle high and announced the start of the court banquet.
More than a hundred palace maids danced their long sleeves and floated into the arena. In the melodious sound of drums, they danced like colorful butterflies. Their skirts were billowing, dancing and flying, and their songs were melodious.
After the song ended, the lights dimmed, and a glazed eight-treasure colored lantern appeared in the hands of the palace maids like a magic trick. The light and shadow intertwined, creating thousands of fireflies in the hall. The guests were dazzled, amazed, and cheered one after another.
.
The eunuchs and maids served the delicious food to the banquet like a flowing stream, and the hall became bustling again.
It was Suzong's turn to toast everyone, creating a harmonious atmosphere where the emperor and his subjects were enjoying themselves.
After drinking for three rounds, two hundred mighty Qianniu Guards soldiers wearing bright light armor marched in from the main palace gate. They were holding swords, guns, swords and shields, practicing various formations, and their movements were uniform. They were the ones that made the Tang Dynasty famous all over the world.
Soldier Dance - "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation"!
Compared with the graceful and charming maids singing and dancing just now, the military dance is full of masculinity and has a different flavor, which is equally exciting.
"The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" is complete, and there is also a three-way toast:
First, Prince Li Chu led the princes and princesses to toast to Su Zong and Queen Zhang; then, Prince Li Chu led all the officials to toast to Su Zong and Queen Zhang; finally, Prince Li Chu led the princes to leave on behalf of Su Zong.
At the banquet, toast to the important ministers of the court.
Santong gave a toast, bringing the court banquet to a climax again.
After this round of toasts, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively, and all the courtiers left the banquet, in small groups, blessing each other.
Although Princess Qingluan was not very happy, she still followed the etiquette and took Baifu, her consort-to-be, to toast Suzong and Empress Zhang.
Suzong was greatly relieved and drank a bottle with Princess Qingluan and Bai Fuman.
Empress Zhang also made an exception to return the favor to Princess Qingluan and Bai Fu. Empress Zhang was so eloquent and witty that she made Suzong laugh heartily, and made Princess Qingluan's mood instantly improve and her smile was as bright as a flower.
Bai Fu couldn't help but admire her. Bai Fu thought to himself: "Queen Zhang is mediocre in appearance and not outstanding, but she is able to dominate the Sixth Palace with favor and favor. It seems that she is indeed extraordinary.

If I didn't know about her relationship with Caiyi Club, I would definitely think that the Empress of the Tang Dynasty was a virtuous and virtuous person...
It can be seen from this that people who are extremely evil often show kindness to others.
As the saying goes: Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows whether it will be true or false in his life?"
After toasting with Suzong, the next step is to toast to the prince.
This was originally a formality, but Princess Qingluan hoped to take this opportunity to promote reconciliation between Bai Fu and the prince. Princess Qingluan took Bai Fu's hand and forced Bai Fu to express his stance.
Seeing Princess Qingluan's eyes full of tears, Bai Fu suddenly softened his heart. Bai Fu reluctantly agreed, and Princess Qingluan just broke down in tears and smiled.
The two came to the prince's side and toasted to Li Chu and Princess Dugu.
Princess Qingluan smiled at Li Chu and said, "Brother Prince, he has agreed to Bai Fu and will stand with me to support the East Palace."
Li Chu's eyes were as bright as a torch and he stared at Bai Fu intently.
Bai Fu took a deep breath and said: "I will do it if I promise Luan'er. As long as His Highness does not embarrass me, I will never go against Dong Palace."
Li Chu remained calm and said with a gloomy face: "Being loyal to the East Palace is not just about words. I hope you can do what you say."
After that, without further words, he walked away.
When Bai Fure's face met the cold buttocks, he was left hanging aside, as if he had eaten a fly, which was extremely embarrassing.
Dugu Xiao smiled apologetically at Bai Fu and said, "The prince's mouth is as sharp as a knife but his heart is full of heart. Mr. Bai, please don't take it to heart."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dugu Xiao couldn't help but stay for a long time, moved his jade steps lightly, and followed the prince away.
Seeing the arrogant Bai Fu being humiliated in public, Princess Qingluan had a sore nose and covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief. Tears were about to fall. She murmured: "Brother Fu, Luan'er can't help you, I've made you feel wronged."
…”
Bai Fu was quite moved and sighed in his heart: "That's all, that's all. Why should I care about Luan'er?"
Bai Fu held Princess Qingluan's crotch and said softly: "As long as we can be together, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little grievance. It doesn't matter."
…
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The bell rang and the second half of the banquet began.
Prince Li Chu stood up and said loudly: "We, the Tang Dynasty, established our own country, pacified the world, destroyed the Turks, conquered the east and west, subdued the barbarians, and conquered all the battles, all because we established the country with force and governed the country with culture.
Tonight is such a grand event. According to the martial arts tradition of the Tang Dynasty, martial arts competitions in front of the court are indispensable.
Now we invite the generals of the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya to go out to fight and accept the challenge of the imperial army of Beiya. The contest will end at the end of the contest. Regardless of the winner or loser, both sides will be rewarded with ten taels of gold to help them enjoy the wine."
A burst of cheers immediately erupted in the hall.
Under the attention of everyone, a tiger general walked into the center of the hall with his head held high and saluted Suzong with military salute.
This man was wearing a lotus leaf helmet and chain armor. He stood in the hall. He was handsome and dignified in appearance. He was none other than Bai Fu's old subordinate—Li Xiang, the seventh son of King Rong Li Wan.
After the Daming Palace suppressed the rebellion, Li Xiang was promoted as an officer and is now the Zhonglang General of You Qianniu Guard.
Bai Fu smiled happily. Li Xiang's martial arts was taught by Bai Fu himself, and he was obviously the best master of You Qian Niu Guard.
Suzong was obviously very familiar with the son of King Rong Li Wan. He smiled happily and said with a kind face: "It turns out that it's Xiang'er. Ai Qing's life.
Please remember that this is just a test of martial arts, not a life and death fight.
I personally supervise the battle. Once the bell rings, no matter what the situation, you must immediately stop and retreat."
"The general will obey the order!" Li Xiang answered loudly, clasping his fists.
