Chapter 94 The Wedding Banquet
Wen's Wedding Banquet was a large-scale banquet specially held by the imperial court for new scholars. In Song Dynasty, Wen's Wedding Banquet was usually held in Qionglin Garden, so it was also called "Qionglin Banquet".
The filthiness of the past is not worthy of praise, but today the dissolute thoughts are boundless. The spring breeze is so proud that horses are hoofed, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day!
The pre-dinners of the Wen Wedding Banquet were mainly Zhengzou Mingjin Scholars, special Zou Mingjin Scholars and those who took the imperial examination. At this time, the tribute examination was abolished, so there were only Zhengzou Mingjin and Special Zou Mingjin Scholars. Those who knew the tribute examination were responsible for holding the banquet.
In addition to these people, the emperor, prime ministers, and officials almost all participated. Some court officials such as Hanlin bachelors, banquet officials, secretaries, and attendants could also participate, but they needed the emperor's permission.
When conditions permitted, the emperor would participate almost every time to show the greatness of the emperor's grace, and would send poems to the guests at the banquet.
At this time, in Qionglin Garden, the banquet officer was leading hundreds of new scholars into Qionglin Garden. At the same time, someone played the "Music of Zheng'an". After everyone arrived at the atrium, they all stood upright and looked in the direction of the palace. At this time, the music stopped.
, the emperor and the banquet officials came in, and everyone paid homage to the emperor together.
"Your Majesty will be waiting for the wedding banquet..." At this time, a palace official read out the emperor's order and announced that the wedding banquet had officially begun.
"When you ascend to the government, you can present books, and you can be promoted to a good noble and noble family. You have contributed to the affairs of Yao and Shun, and you have been thinking about loyalty and regulations." Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty improvised a five-character quatrain as a tribute to He Changyan, the top candidate in the tribute examination.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness." He Changyan cried and bowed.
At this time, the banquet was played again, and various fine wines and dishes were served like water. Under the leadership of the banquet officer, all the new scholars toasted to the emperor one after another. The atmosphere at the scene was very lively.
However, Li Sanjian and Li Qingzhao, who were sitting in the tree and looking down at the wedding banquet, could only see the lively scene and could hardly hear the sound.
"Who is the emperor?" After a long time, Li Sanjian suddenly asked.
Li Qingzhao glanced at Li Sanjian, looked at it with clairvoyance, and replied: "The one in the middle wearing crimson clothing is the current Holy One, look at it."
After Li Qingzhao finished speaking, he handed the clairvoyant vision to Li Sanjian.
"You're not very old, aren't you?" Li Sanjian said in surprise.
In Li Sanjian's mind, the emperor should be an old man with a white beard, but Li Sanjian did not expect that the current emperor would be so young. He looked less than twenty years old? Or even younger... Could he be only thirteen or fourteen years old?
"It's not that big to begin with." Li Qingzhao heard this and said, "This is the fourth year of Shaosheng... Your Majesty is only in his early twenties. Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, just ask." Li Sanjian replied casually.
Li Sanjian then looked at it carefully with his clairvoyance.
The emperor did not look that big, he was as tall as a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looked sickly. He was huddled on the throne and only drank wine, barely eating.
"Is he Huizong?" Li Sanjian suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Where is Huizong in my court? What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Qingzhao said angrily.
"Then what sect is he?" Li Sanjian asked again.
"What kind of sect? Today's Holy Emperor, where does he... have a temple name?" Li Qingzhao was asked inexplicably.
The temple title was given only after the emperor died. Li Sanjian's question was really out of line.
"His father
What sect is it?" Li Sanjian asked again.
"The late Emperor was the Shenzong Emperor." Li Qingzhao stared at Li Sanjian with his big eyes and replied.
I really don’t know where he came from? Why don’t he know anything? The questions he asked were also baffling. I really don’t know how he got this Jieyuan? Li Qingzhao thought to himself.
Song Shenzong? Song Shenzong, Li Sanjian still knows about Wang Anshi's reform during the Shenzong period. Li Sanjian still has some understanding of this, but the question is which sect is after Song Shenzong? Which sect is after Song Huizong? Li Sanjian is thinking hard, but he just wants to
The only reason he couldn't get up was because he lacked historical knowledge. Li Sanjian thought to himself that it seemed that he would have to supplement his historical knowledge in the future, but the problem came again, that is, history can only go so far.
Li Sanjian can only rely on which sect to judge at present, and the emperor's name is even more difficult for Li Sanjian.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Li Qingzhao saw Li Sanjian looking like he was thinking hard, so he touched Li Sanjian with his elbow and asked.
"Oh...it's nothing." Li Sanjian woke up and looked at his feet and said, "It's such a grand banquet, it's so lively and grand."
"Three...you...don't be discouraged." Li Qingzhao turned to look at Li Sanjian and said: "You...are not yet seventeen years old? At the age of three, you will have many opportunities."
Hearing this, Li Sanjian turned to look at Li Qingzhao and asked in astonishment: "Why am I so discouraged? I am trying to be inspirational. Do you understand motivation?"
When Li Sanjian failed for the first time, he was still a little discouraged. However, Li Sanjian's period of discouragement had long passed. Li Sanjian had already made up his mind to visit his good teachers and prepare for the next tribute.
Generally speaking, the defeated people are not willing to see scenes like the wedding banquet. After seeing it, they will be extremely painful and will be severely hit.
But Li Sanjian knew this, but did the opposite, using these things to experience himself and hone his mind.
This will be a painful process.
In the past, Li Sanjian did not dare to face it and could not withstand setbacks, so...
"Inspirational? What is inspirational?" Li Qingzhao asked and quickly realized what inspiration was.
Li Qingzhao reacted and stared at Li Sanjian's eyes, wanting to see if what he said was true or false? Want to see what he was thinking?
"You are such a strange person." Li Qingzhao suddenly became very curious about Li Sanjian and really wanted to know what kind of person he was.
"Strange?" Li Sanjian smiled slightly after hearing this, drew a circle above Qionglin Garden with his hand and said with a smile: "Sooner or later, I, Li Sanjian, will become the only protagonist here."
"Ah..." As soon as Li Sanjian said this, Li Qingzhao was startled. He leaned back, let go of his hand, let out a scream, and was about to fall off the tree.
Li Sanjian's words leave too much room for imagination. The only protagonist? The person who won the imperial examination can be the protagonist, the new scholars can also be said to be the protagonist, and even the emperor can be said to be the protagonist...
"Sit tight." Li Sanjian reacted quickly and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Li Qingzhao and pinned Li Qingzhao to the tree branch.
"You...let me go, let me go, you bastard..." Although Li Qingzhao was frightened, after being supported by Li Sanjian, his face turned red and he struggled desperately.
Li Sanjian took action in a panic, holding Li Qingzhao's slender waist with one hand and supporting Li Qingzhao's chest with the other...
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm in a hurry. I hope you'll forgive me." Li Sanjian quickly let go of his right hand, but his left hand was still on Li Qingzhao's slender waist, fixing Li Qingzhao on the tree branch.
"Are my words so scary? Stop moving, be careful of falling." Li Sanjian saw that Li Qingzhao was still struggling, so he glared at Li Qingzhao and said.
Not only would it be bad if Li Qingzhao fell, but it would also be very bad if the two of them made too much noise and attracted guards.
When Li Qingzhao heard this, he didn't dare to move. At the same time, he felt that Li Sanjian's hand on his waist was like a coal of fire.
Li Qingzhao blushed, lowered his head, twisted the string of his skirt and whispered: "Don't say treasonous words, you are very dangerous, do you know?"
How could he be so brave and dare to say anything? Li Qingzhao thought to himself.
"What a treasonous and unethical statement? Why did the girl say such a thing?" Li Sanjian asked in surprise when he heard what he said.
"You...this sentence is not...eh?" Li Qingzhao twisted his body uncomfortably, looked at Li Sanjian and said.
"Haha..." Li Sanjian smiled and shook his head when he heard this and said: "My Qing'er, you have misunderstood me. Even if I, Li Sanjian, have the courage, I would not dare to say such rebellious words. My
It means...do you understand?"
"Who... who is your Qing'er, you... don't talk nonsense." Li Qingzhao lowered his head lower and lower, and his face became redder and redder.
Li Sanjian smelled the faint fragrance on Li Qingzhao's body and looked at Li Qingzhao's gentle and cute appearance. His heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but use his left hand to pull Li Qingzhao into his arms.
"Qing'er, do you know?" Li Sanjian gently wiped Li Qingzhao's bun with his left cheek and said: "Since the first time I saw Ganjiang, my heart has been filled with your shadow, and I can't get rid of it.
I have gone and come back, but I am a humble person, how can I dare to climb up to this little lady? I originally thought...I originally thought...but things have actually come to this point, no matter what, no what!"
After Li Sanjian finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.
Li Sanjian immediately fell in love with Li Qingzhao more and more. Not only was he talented and beautiful, he was also kind-hearted. After Li Sanjian arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, Li Qingzhao did not dislike Li Sanjian and always cared for Li Sanjian, which moved Li Sanjian.
At the same time, Li Sanjian could also feel that Li Qingzhao also had a good impression of him. Li Sanjian originally thought that if he passed the imperial examination, then Li Sanjian would have some capital or dare to mention this matter, but under the current situation, how could Li Sanjian have the face to mention it?
It was even said that it was a door-to-door marriage proposal?
"The fragrance of the red lotus root lingers in the jade quilt in autumn. I undress my clothes lightly and get on the orchid boat alone. Who in the clouds sends brocade books? When the wild goose comes back, the moon is full on the west tower. The flowers are floating by themselves and the water flows by themselves. A kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure
I am sad. There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I lower my brows, but it is in my heart." Li Qingzhao leaned in Li Sanjian's arms and chanted softly.
"Ask the world, what is love? It tells us about life and death. Traveling from the south to the north, the old wing has been in the cold and summer several times. It is fun to be happy, but the separation is painful, and there are even more crazy children. Your words should be spoken, the clouds are thousands of miles away, and the mountains are thousands of miles away.
Du Xue, who is the shadow going to?" Li Sanjian asked.
