Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

The so-called Chongxi is a superstitious custom of the Han people.When someone in the family is critically ill, they try to get rid of the illness by holding weddings in order to turn the crisis into peace: you should marry him/her (or his son or brother) as soon as possible, and the illness will be cured.

This kind of marriage often causes the woman to be a widow for life.

However, marrying a princess of a country for the sake of exorcising illness is really appalling.Even Guo Ye, a modern person from later generations who is used to seeing incidents of destroying the Three Views, has never heard of it.

What's more, the princess who was going to marry Chongxi came from the Great Tang Empire, which was very prosperous for a time and made the Chinese descendants proud.

"Too much deceit, the Tubo people are simply the biggest joke in the world!"

Guo Ye turned pale with anger, looked at Zhu Hongyu with wide eyes, and shouted: "Could it be that your majesty will let the Tubo people mess around and watch our Princess of the Tang Dynasty marry and become a widow? Into the annals of history, those of us will be infamous forever!!"

"Your Majesty of Yizhou, this statement is wrong! Your Majesty was furious when he heard about this matter. How could he agree to such an outrageous and unreasonable request from the Tubo people?"

Hongyu shook his head and sighed: "However, now I am taking a break when I return to the imperial court, and His Majesty does not want to fight the Tubo people for the time being, nor does he want to receive the Tubo envoys, so he handed over this matter to our Ministry of Rites. Let us send the Tubo envoys away. But the Tubo envoys are determined to marry our princess away this time, so they simply refuse to leave. The task of receiving the foreign envoys will naturally fall on the head of our host and guest Qingli. No, the Tubo envoys have been living in Hongbinlou for nearly ten days, clamoring every day to see the emperor, but they just refuse to leave Chang'an and return to Tubo."

Guo Ye knew His Majesty Li Er's attitude from Zhu Hongyu's mouth, and his expression eased a lot, and then he asked: "You mean, the Tubo envoys have been making trouble for no reason in the past ten days, deliberately making things difficult for your host and guest to clean up officials. Is it because of the Tubo envoy that you sent that evil fire at Yuanwailang just now?"

Zhu Hongyu hummed, nodded, and sighed rather dispiritedly: "That's right, the servant Guo laughed at me for not being able to do my job well. Don't be afraid of your lord's jokes. I'm really worried about how to send this Tubo envoy away." , I have not slept well in the past ten days, but I have not slept well in one day, I am so worried, I am so worried."

"Oh……"

Guo Ye showed a look of sudden realization on his face, and muttered: "So, I know why Cui Henian is so generous, and he wants to hand over the official affairs department to me. The grandson of Qingqinger made this idea, let me Come clean up this mess, shit!"

"Ah? What did the servant minister say? Why can't the servant understand?"

Zhu Hongyu's face was in a daze, and he didn't hear what Guo Ye said clearly, but he didn't understand it.

Guo Ye smiled, shook his head and said, "It's nothing to do with you, hehe, it's just being played around, I will return it sooner or later. Let's go..."

Zhu Hongyu was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Master Minister, where are we going?"

Guo Ye joked: "Where else can you go? Since you can't do this, I, the immediate boss, have to come forward and clean up the mess for you. The subordinate is in trouble. As the boss, naturally he has to come out to top the tank, so that he can be convinced." Everyone. Right? Let’s go, go to Hongbin Building..."

Zhu Hongyu was overjoyed immediately, and said excitedly in his heart, this is a good boss, Zhu has been in the Ministry of Rites for so many years, and he is looking forward to a great savior.

After saying that, he jumped up and opened the door, respectfully led Guo Ye out of the house, and headed for Hongbin Building.

……

……

At the same time, Zhao Feixuan also took the same car with Cui Henian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and they left the imperial city and quickly entered the East City.

Because the luncheon that Cui Henian was going to today was held in an orchid restaurant in Dongshi.

Zhao Feixuan followed Cui Henian into the private room on the second floor of Hu Ji's restaurant. As soon as he entered the private room, he was stunned and stunned, and his whole person immediately became panicked and cautious.

Because he saw Li Tai, King of Wei, and Lu Chengqing, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, present there as well as a few officials he didn't know, all of them were all officials in scarlet robes, obviously they were important figures.

He stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do with himself, he was secretly horrified, didn't Cui Shangshu say he would introduce me to a few officials from the Tiance Mansion?How could it be His Royal Highness King Wei, and Lu Chengqing, a scumbag?Obviously, the other officials here are not officials from the Tiance Mansion.

Cui Henian probably saw Zhao Feixuan's worries and concerns, and immediately pulled him to an empty seat with a pleasant smile, pushed him down and sat down, and laughed: "Master Zhao, don't be nervous, today's banquet is Private banquet. I brought you here today to let you get to know everyone here. Hehe, you should know His Royal Highness Wei Wang and Lu Shilang. As for the others here, they are all officials from the Six Ministries. At the foot of the emperor In Chang'an City, hehe, it might be a good thing for you Zhao Shilang to know more people."

Lu Chengqing sat beside Wei Wang Li Tai, stood up a little, picked up the jug on the table, leaned over to pour a glass of wine for Zhao Feixuan, laughed and said: "Yes, what Cui Shangshu said is true, although we people They don't belong to the old ministers of Tiance Mansion, and they don't get mixed up with Wei Zheng and Wei Ting's outdated old things, and they don't belong to the Shilin Qingliu clan of shit, but at any rate, everyone is an official of the same dynasty. See you when you look up, see you when you look down It turned out that Lu and Zhao Shilang had some misunderstandings in Ruzhou, didn't you just talk about it? Our Royal Highness Wei Wang has a big heart, so naturally he won't take it to heart."

Zhao Feixuan looked at Wei Wang Li Tai who was sitting opposite with some trepidation, feeling a little guilty, knowing that he had offended Li Tai when he was demoted to Yizhou.Although someone exposed this Liangzi for him after he invested in the Tiance Mansion, but facing Li Tai, he was still a little terrified.

Li Tai on the opposite side showed a smile that he thought he was very approachable, raised his wine glass generously, and congratulated Zhao Feixuan from a distance: "Mr. Well. Although you are now a servant of the old ministers of Tiance Mansion, Changsun Wuji is also my uncle, isn’t he? Hehe, it’s still a family after all. Haha, I’m here to offer you a toast.”

"Ah? Don't dare!"

Zhao Feixuan was flattered and raised his wine glass, leaned over to touch the glass in Li Tai's hand slightly, and gulped down the wine in the glass.

Maybe it was because of the excitement in his heart, maybe it was the excitement of Li Tai's courteous reception, Zhao Feixuan's face was extremely rosy at this time, his lips trembling and he said intermittently: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang has a big heart, when I think of the mistakes I made back then, I am really ashamed! "

Li Tai waved his hand generously, and said with a smile: "Don't mention the past, today I only have friends here, no enemies, haha, everyone agree?"

"Extremely so."

"I'm waiting for His Royal Highness the King of Wei to look forward to it."

"Today, there are only equals and only friends. His Royal Highness King Wei is worthy of being a virtuous king."

All the people present applauded one after another, and there was another sound of horses.

After some warming up, Zhao Feixuan was no longer restrained, and became familiar with all the officials present under the introduction of Lu Chengqing.

The scene was lively and cheerful.

At this time, Li Tai suddenly raised his hand to signal the crowd to be silent, then asked Cui Henian who was eating, and said, "Cui Shangshu, I heard that Guo Ye has been appointed as the left servant of the Ministry of Rites today, have you seen this person? Hehe, how is it?"

"What else can I do? His Royal Highness King Wei, do you think Guo Ye can still make big waves in my hands?"

Cui Henian put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said with a sneer, "Your Highness should have heard about the Tubo envoys coming to Chang'an to propose marriage these days, right? Hehe, I put the host-guest-clearing department under Guo Ye's jurisdiction, and this matter gave him a headache." Well. I'd like to see how he, the newly appointed Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, will solve this problem. If he can't get rid of the Tubo envoys, I will have enough reasons to drive him out of the Ministry of Rites and let him Get out of here!"

Hearing this, Li Tai clapped his hands and laughed, his handsome cheeks became slightly ferocious, and he returned to his original shape after laughing, but there was a smile on his face from the beginning to the end, and he was in a very happy mood.

clap~

He suddenly clapped his palms twice, and shouted towards the outside of the private room: "Come on, let the shopkeeper call in all the best and most beautiful orchids in this wine shop, and drink with us, haha, all the expenses today are counted." This king's."

After a "yes" came from afar outside, there was the sound of going downstairs.

At this time, when they heard that Orchid was accompanying the drink, everyone's eyes lit up at that time, and they all applauded:

"Haha, I want one with big breasts and big butt."

"Orchid with blue eyes and blond hair, tsk tsk, I really don't know how it feels to feed wine to your mouth."

"His Royal Highness Wei Wang is so generous, I am really blessed to wait today."

Immediately, lewd voices were repeated over and over again, Zhao Feixuan blushed and stood up uncomfortably, and said with prevarication: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang, so what, this orchid concubine will be dismissed as an accomplice?"

"Ok?"

Li Tai was a little disappointed when he heard this, and his expression darkened immediately, and he said displeasedly: "What's the matter? Does Zhao Shilang want to reject this king's kindness?"

Lu Chengqing persuaded him from the side: "Zhao Shilang, we all know that you have a beautiful girl, tsk tsk, but where does this family have such a wild flower fragrance? You will know the taste once you taste it, hahaha..."

In an instant, all the people present were amused by Lu Chengqing's lewd words again, and all laughed obscenely, and continued to echo and applaud.

Cui Henian, who was sitting next to Zhao Feixuan, suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhao Feixuan's arm, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Mr. , You have to learn to adapt. Haha, don’t be ashamed, just get used to it, sit down, sit down quickly, don’t let His Royal Highness Wei and the big guy’s elegance be swept away.”

Hearing Cui Henian's reminder, Zhao Feixuan thought about how hard it was for him to have today, and immediately put his wife Hui Niang, who was in his heart, behind him, and sat down slowly.

Then he raised his cup and apologized to Li Tai: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang Haihan, it's because I have seen the world, so I made you laugh. Well, I have an unfeeling request for you. I also want a big breasts and a butt in a while." Big Orchid, okay?"

When he said these words, Zhao Feixuan realized that it was actually very simple, and it was indeed a pleasure that he didn't know much about before.
