Chapter 218

Not to mention that Luo Yan went to take a bath in his room under the strange eyes of the servants in the mansion, but at this moment in the court hall it was a different scene.

The chiefs from all over the Great Court gathered in the capital, and at this moment, the main hall was full.Arranged in order according to official position and rank, two long dragons are lined up on both sides of the hall, and you can't see the side at a glance.When Li Shimin came in to sit on the dragon bed, he heard a shout of long live from below, and the voice echoed in the Tai Chi Palace more than ten times before it stopped, which made him very happy.

Compared to last year when I was very depressed because of the Turkic incident, this year is much better.Turkic civil strife, domestic stability, and there are still many former rebels who surrendered.Although bad things such as the famine in Guanzhong and the severe drought in SD also occurred in the middle, but with the full cooperation of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, it was also passed smoothly.

Coupled with the fact that the Western Turks came to ask for peace a few days ago, the situation is getting better day by day, and Li Shimin is also a little bit complacent.

Of course, this is not the time for him to be completely satisfied.It is still far away from the grand plan in his heart.

The first item of the Great Court Meeting is for the ministers to report on the situation of their errands this year.Li Shimin naturally did not hesitate to praise and reward those who did well, and he also gave comfort to those who did poorly.But Li Shimin also used tricks for those who made a mess of his subordinates for years, and Dan Chixia also whipped many officials today.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.Li Shimin is becoming more and more like an emperor.

After a report that made many people tremble with fear, it was noon in the blink of an eye.Serving the meals that had been prepared earlier, Li Shimin and his courtiers began to eat the first meal of the new year.

During the meal, there were also songs and dances prepared by Taichang Temple.It was so lively, but it also dissipated the cold.Without the pressure of duties, the monarch and his ministers are enjoying themselves at this moment.After the banquet was over, the next step was to present a congratulatory message to Li Shimin in singing and dancing, wishing the country a prosperous and strong year ahead.

For such an important matter, how could one forget the Turkic mission that came to ask for peace.

This Abs failure is also well versed in the culture of the Central Plains. Although the official words are really not good, the due etiquette is not lost at all.

With the help of Honglusi, Arbus Shili also took the lead in writing a colorful congratulatory speech.Seeing that it was his turn at this moment, he went forward with a congratulatory message and gift list, bowed to Li Shimin, and said: "Abusi, a subordinate of Yehu Khan, the Western Turkic Commander, has lost his strength. On behalf of my Khan, I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty The body of the dragon is safe and secure, and the Tang Dynasty will flourish for thousands of years."

After finishing speaking, he bowed and presented the congratulatory speech and gift list over his head.

This is a full gesture, except for the awkward Chinese, there is nothing wrong with etiquette.The ministers were also accustomed to the Turkic man's words, but they were quite interested in his congratulatory speech and gift list.So his eyes were all fixed on the two documents hanging in the air.

With a smile on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth, he said excuses, and indeed ordered his servants to go down to fetch the congratulatory message and gift list.After all, it was sent by Fan Guo, and Li Shimin also felt that it was special, so he asked the servant to read the two documents one by one.

I don't know if I don't read it, but I am shocked when I read it.Unexpectedly, Tong Yehu Khan paid such a large sum of money for this marriage.

"One hundred famous horses in Dawan, one hundred catties of beautiful jade, and one big silver tripod." Just these three items are worth more than one million guan.After hearing these three things, some ministers were stunned. When did the Turkic people have such a big hand.But on the other hand, it also confirmed the sincerity of Tong Yehu Khan.

Many people nodded and listened to what happened next with smiles.

Then the servant only read one sentence, but it was this sentence that made everyone in the hall feel a little crazy.

"A bloody horse." The six words, ranging from Li Shimin to Le Ji singing and dancing, were all in a state of sluggishness at the moment.That is a bloody horse, the most precious treasure of the people on the grassland.Since the Han Dynasty, Jishan has never heard of the Western Regions offering this kind of BMW to the Central Plains.Unexpectedly, Li Shimin got a horse in this way.

Looking at the sluggish ministers, Abs said proudly, "My Khan heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the emperor of horses. He must have a special love for good horses. Therefore, he collected hundreds of horses from the western Turks. Tens of thousands of hectares of land, and finally found this BMW in a wild horse colony. I hope His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not dislike it."

dislike?Dislike a ghost.

This is a hard-earned horse, not an ordinary Beidi horse, even the so-called hundreds of famous Dawan horses before, it is not as good as this one.

Li Shimin put away the shock in his heart, and said kindly: "I have received the sincerity of Tong Yehu Khan. When I go back this time, please convey my thanks to Tong Yehu Khan. Only this gift will let me Very satisfied. Not to mention beautiful jade and good horses. As for the marriage, the officials who want to come to Honglu Temple have already told you. But today I still want to tell you solemnly again that I, Tang Dynasty, agreed to marry the princess of the clan to the western Turks. The matter is already being prepared. Let your Khan know when the time comes, and I will send the princess there."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Abs was finally relieved when he lost his strength.He knew that there was a golden saying in the Central Plains that described the emperor. He thought that Li Shimin said this in front of so many ministers today, which meant that the matter had been settled.Therefore, I was very happy to pay my respects to Li Shimin, and kept expressing my gratitude.

A wedding came to fruition in such a happy situation.As for what to do next, that will be after the New Year's Eve, and there is no rush.

But when the whole world was celebrating, the people in Luo Yan's residence were not so happy.

Early in the morning, the servants in the mansion found out in a panic that their master's temples turned gray overnight.Although I don't know the reason, but according to a servant who knew about it, Luo Yan drank five jars of wine in the study last night.The Jiannan Shaochun rewarded by the emperor a while ago was drunk by him overnight.

That's a whole fifty catties of wine. Compared with the ordinary Lanling Xinfeng, it not only tastes sweet, but also makes it easier to get drunk.Although I know that my master has an unusual drinking capacity, but this is the first time I have seen him drunk like this.What's more, after waking up drunk, he looked prematurely decrepit, which made the servants feel a little strange.

But it's not good to say this in front of the owner, it can only be whispered.

When Luo Yan found out that he was different, he had already bathed.After putting on his clothes, Ah Quan suddenly put a mirror in front of him very strangely.

For such a disrespectful behavior, Luo Yan originally wanted to scold him, but when he glanced at the mirror, he suddenly found that the hair on his temples in the mirror was actually white.

It can't be a prank. After all, there is no thing that can dye a person's hair white, but it will not fade after washing.And when I put my fingers on the graying hair, I didn't feel any abnormality in the hair quality.That means it's natural.

Seeing this, Luo Yan smiled wryly.Unexpectedly, Ah Quan was wrongly blamed at that time.Saying sorry to Ah Quan, I put aside my thoughts and went back to the middle hall to eat.

During the New Year's Eve, Feng Chang's family naturally came to eat with Luo Yan.It happened that there were many people, which also added a lot of joy.When Luo Yan walked to the middle hall, the family who were still laughing suddenly stopped talking.Feng Chang rushed forward, took Luo Yan's hand and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you become like this overnight."

After finishing speaking, the tears kept streaming down.

It was just one night, and Feng Chang didn't know Luo Yan's inner distress, he just thought it was some kind of sickness in his body.He usually has little knowledge, he only knows that his brother's life may be in danger.

Pulling Feng Chang back, Luo Yan said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, the younger brother is just worrying too much, and he was too drunk last night, and the camp was out of control for a while, so his hair turned gray. Not to mention that when Wu Zixu passed the test, his head turned gray overnight because of this reason. Brother also knows from the storyteller that Wu Zixu lived for many years later, not only alive, but also very well."

Hearing what Luo Yan said, Feng Chang stopped crying, but still asked worriedly: "Brother, there is really nothing wrong with it. If it doesn't work, then I'll go to the imperial doctor to show you. Don't worry." Don't leave any hidden dangers. You are still young, and it is always ugly to have such a gray hair."

Knowing Feng Chang's kind intentions, Luo Yan did not refuse, took Feng Chang's hand and replied: "Brother, don't worry, I will send someone to find a doctor after breakfast. The royal doctor in the palace After all, it’s special, and I can’t just invite it if I want it now. Let the doctor in the city take a look. If there is no problem, I will raise it first. If there is any problem, I can take some medicine first to stabilize it until the New Year’s Eve It’s not too late to find an imperial doctor after that.”

Hearing Luo Yan's words in such an orderly manner, Feng Chang didn't say anything more, just pulled Luo Yan to sit down, and kept handing the dishes on the table to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan couldn't resist Feng Chang's kindness, so he ate with the family with a smile on his face.

Luo Yan thought that he had settled down with his relatives, but he didn't know that the news about him had already spread in the market.Thinking of this kind of anecdote of white hair overnight, it has only happened once or twice in the past few decades.It was Luo Yan, who was in a big fire recently, who had the gray hair this time, which is quite remarkable.

Since a family member of the Luo Mansion spread the news as an anecdote, it took only a short while for people in several nearby markets to know the news.As a result, there have been all kinds of Luo Yan's white-headed speculations, why the sky is jealous of the talents, and why the fate is not long.In short, all the bad news that could be put on came out at this time.

In the Lu Mansion, Lu Deming, who heard the rumor, put down the tea in his hand, and sighed softly: "Idiot."

 Forgive the Xiaodao this time, it is said that piracy is rampant in my street recently, so I reposted the chapter once, and I hope you will forgive me.In addition, the weather is turning cold, everyone remember to keep warm.In the winter, it is finally the season to eat hot pot wantonly.Anyone want a popsicle?
