Chapter 24 The Banquet at the Palace of the Eighth Year of Zhenguan
These are the leeks of Li Mingda in the future
The Tang Dynasty was not like the later Ming Dynasty, where the Tatar prefect had a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver a year, but most of these guys were richer than them.
Eighty or ninety percent of the people who become high-ranking officials are from big families, and a few are promoted by Old Li through hard work over the years. In order to prevent these new teenagers from being tempted by interests, Old Li also takes great pains to give them small amounts of money.
I have given you fame, fortune and wealth, and if you are dishonest, I will only let you taste the power of the Tang Dynasty's horizontal sword.
Fortunately, at this time in the Tang Dynasty, scholars died for their confidants, learned martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family, and the idea of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic was not bad.
According to later dynasties, especially those of the Tatars, most women go to the palace to find the queen, empress dowager, hello, sister, sister, the Tang Dynasty is more open, and the wife of the king and his family will follow the head of his own family.
They are all here, the only difference is that men and women are seated separately.
According to custom, during the Nianyan Year of the Tang Dynasty, the elders across the country would also be given some gifts of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
The filial sons of China take it very seriously.
Li Mingda lay down beside his eldest grandson very happily.
Everyone is here
The auspicious time has arrived
Lao Li stood up
The family members of officials and officials below stood up one after another.
Lao Li picked up the wine glass: "My dear friends, the eighth year of Zhenguan has passed. You have worked hard and made great contributions to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. I won't say more here. I will drink this glass to the full."
"The Tang Dynasty will last forever"
After Lao Li finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Lao Li was so cheerful that all the officials below, men, women and children, drank the wine in their glasses without hesitation.
The cup is full of wine and shouting
"The Tang Dynasty will last forever"
"The Tang Dynasty will last forever"
"The Tang Dynasty will last forever"
Three calls to end
Lao Li generously composed a poem
Li Mingda said that his literary skills are not enough to understand
The ministers expressed that His Majesty’s poems are excellent
Lao Li was very satisfied and announced: The Eighth Eve Banquet of the Tang Dynasty has officially begun
First dance music
"The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation"
This is a typical manifestation of Lao Li's hard-earned self-absorption. Looking at Lao Li's happy face, I don't know whether he is watching the dancing ladies or feeling proud of how awesome he was back then.
Li Mingda thought of later novels with various styles of painting. Maybe it’s hard to say that Lao Li’s horse was frightened back then, hahaha.
Li Mingda was not interested in these songs and dances, so he directly picked up the meat cake on the seat and started to chew it. This night banquet, Li Mingda was just promoting his own tea.
There is a small bamboo tube on the seat of each official, with two taels of tea in it. The little eunuchs and maids serving next to them have already given orders, telling the officials they are serving that this is their super invincible and cute beast Jin.
A New Year’s gift from Princess Yang, and there’s also a way to drink it.
When cutting leeks, the first thing to do is to let the leeks get some benefits, right?
The meatloaf was good, but I got a little tired of eating it all the time, so I asked Qingfeng to bring me a cup of hot milk and drank it all in one gulp.
readily
It feels like drinking heavily in those days
It's a pity that he is too young to drink alcohol now, otherwise Li Mingda could fuck him ten or eight pounds with the current alcohol content.
King Qin broke the formation month and ended
Next are some popular songs and dances in the Tang Dynasty. The dancers are all girls from the official Jiaofangsi, and they have been rehearsing for a long time.
Each white bun, with a snow-white belly, was shaken and shaken.
Li Mingda felt that he seemed a little hungry again.
Li Mingda felt hungry. As for those old gangsters, fortunately, Lao Li and Changsun didn't do anything like the story in Journey to the West about the big brother Tianpeng getting drunk and molesting Miss Chang'e.
Speaking of Zhu Bajie, when Li Mingda was young, he regarded Journey to the West as a work suitable for all ages. Later, after reading the internal explanation of Journey to the West, he immediately realized that society is actually very complicated.
That was Lao Wu using Journey to the West to mock the party struggle pattern of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
The struggle for power in the Ming Dynasty was actually a continuation of the Tang Dynasty thousands of years later.
aristocratic family
noble
Poor family
imperial power
It's just that they were not as tough as the Tang royal family and Feng Qi, and in the end they fought until a little Tatar who was about to be exterminated usurped the Han family's world.
struggle for rights
I, Li Mingda, will give you a few more years to let you know what it means to be an emperor. Now, let me have another mouthful of milk. Those young ladies dance so well.
It's just that some young ladies didn't look very friendly at Lao Li while dancing.
I feel relieved when I think about it.
Many of them were prisoners and originally lived a small and corrupt life with plenty of food and drink. They dreamed that one day a handsome young brother would marry them off, but one day they knocked on the door and the result was a fierce and brave guard.
My dad was in the wrong team and went the wrong way.
blame others
If you want to think about it, you can think about it. If you can't think about it, you will be full of resentment.
Speaking of young lady, Li Mingda remembered that Wu Meiniang seemed to be not doing well now. Would she like to come over to educate her?
Li Mingda sat next to his eldest grandson and thought about this problem.
Li Mingda's cute and cute appearance has attracted many people's attention.
The apple of Li Shimin's eye and his legitimate daughter, Empress Changsun's eldest daughter Changle, had passed away due to dystocia, so she felt particularly distressed for Li Mingda.
Does Changsun Wuji want Li Mingda to enter their home again?
The answer is to think
But he didn't dare
A man from Changle had already died, and Lao Li's sad look and ferocious eyes at that time were still unforgettable to him. If Li Mingda had another accident, his eldest grandson's family would probably be extinct again.
Even if Li Shimin doesn't say anything, the four masters that Li Mingda worships are enough for him to drink a pot. What's more, Li Mingda has been given the mission of sticking to the Tang River by Li Shimin. Li Mingda's life is destined to be extraordinary, and the eldest grandson's family can no longer
If you get involved, you can only climb on this big ship.
Li Mingda had no idea that he had been clearly arranged by Lao Li. At this time, he was still thinking whether to get Wu Meiniang here early or wait a few years before she enters the palace.
Changsun Wuji didn't move, but naturally others jumped up towards him.
Hou Junji
This unlucky guy was born as a bodyguard of Li Shimin, and later became a general of the state. Finally, he followed Li Chengqian in his failed rebellion, and his entire family died.
Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were unwilling to interact with Hou Junji, mainly because they disliked him for his low IQ and lack of eyesight.
Cheng Yaojin told Li Mingda various situations about Hou Junji, and Cheng Yaojin didn't hide it either.
Taking credit
The son was a little bastard who was famous in Chang'an City for his lax discipline, and was smearing his father, Hou Junji, but Hou Junji didn't know what was going on, but he actually enjoyed it.
Bully men and women
The servants also followed suit and failed to learn well.
Various Cheng Yaojin, his sons Cheng Chusi, Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Chubi
Li Mingda thought about Hou Junji's situation after hearing it. When he thought about following Li Chengqian's rebellion, he realized how stupid he was.
However, Hou Junji's rebellion is still a few years away. After all, Li Chengqian is not lame yet and has not yet been married. Li Chengqian is still a good boy and has high hopes from Li Shimin.
Speaking of Li Chengqian, Li Mingda raised his head and glanced at this unlucky brother. At this time, Li Chengqian was happily drinking with Li Tai, Li Zhi and Li Ke.
As if sensing Li Mingda's gaze, Li Chengqian smiled kindly at his little sister.
Unlucky brother
It's time to eat
It's time to drink
