Crown Sword

On that day, it was hot in July, and the night was dry and windy.

The night banquet was extraordinary, more solemn than the one in the palace, even Gong Yangyue had to take off her sword and change into regular clothes, Zhou Zheng's gown, a jade crown on her head, and her hair was combed meticulously.After Tuoba Xiang burned incense and took a bath, he changed into a palace dress that stretched the ground, a crown of jewels with pearl hairpins, and rouge and flowers on his face.

Call Qiao Min, the three of them ride in the same car, and Shen Shi leaves from the gate of the mansion.

The Shengle Palace is more than double the size of the Yunzhong Palace, and the hierarchy is stricter. After entering the palace wall, people of all kinds will be greeted with naked eyes, and hidden murderous intentions and intentions.Gongyang Yue stepped off the shaft and looked at the majestic palace. He didn't feel relaxed at all, even though the inside and outside were decorated with lights and festoons because of the change of the reign name, Huangshi, it was very festive.

Tuobaxiang is a woman, so she can only go to the private banquet in the harem, and sit with concubines and officials' family members. Gongyangyue is led to the main hall by the servants, and Qiao Min is temporarily outside the hall.

As soon as his feet crossed the threshold, the eyes of the people hugging and chatting all shot over, wishing to stick to him. Gong Yangyue knew that these people might not all be hostile, but they were just cats sniffing fish. Forces must be considered and planned early.

Gong Yangyue smiled, walked to his seat generously and sat down.

The banquet was not yet open, and all the seats went about their own way. From time to time, idlers came to try the depth, but they were all stopped by Gong Yangyue's lukewarm attitude. Gradually, there were fewer people talking and more people watching from the sidelines. stand up.

"Young master."

Gong Yangyue was eating wine when a large shadow suddenly fell on the desk, as if to cover his whole body, when he looked up, it was actually Liu Luochen who had met on the high platform that day.

It was Liu Zhi's business that the southern lord opened his mouth. He only said that the person offended the nobleman and offended him.

"You don't have to." Gong Yangyue offered a cup in return.

"Hey, you can't say that. I see that the teahouses and restaurants in Shengle City keep talking to you all day long, and the young master will soon be the hottest upstart in this magnificent capital. You should have the courtesy." The words seemed to show his goodwill to him, but Yan Feng had a lot of temptations, "That place is next to Dingxiang County, it is my gift to the princess and the young master, and I will ask the same court to take care of each other in the future."

"Where?" Gong Yangyue frowned, pretending to be stupid with him: "Don't say that I am not a knight now, even if I am rewarded, it is just an idle job."

Liu Luochen's eyes turned cold.

Gong Yangyue was not afraid, raised the corner of her mouth to greet him, curbed her arrogance, and bowed to him: "Lord Liu's kindness, I appreciate it, I should ask you to take care of me in the future."

"interesting."

Liu Luochen stopped talking, turned his head to go elsewhere, but hit a nail that was neither soft nor hard, so boring, but seeing Gongyangyue today, it was much better than he imagined, listening to Liu Zhi's subordinates Some people reported that he thought he was a self-reliant and arrogant swordsman, but he never thought that he could bend and stretch, which should not be underestimated.

After the person left, Gong Yangyue pulled the skirt of his clothes, feeling that he was not used to learning Chao Chen's language, if it wasn't for the guy who gave him repeated orders before he left, he would not have bothered to bother so much.

"Would you like to get the cattail fan?"

A young man came to the side, holding a sweet fruit in his mouth, approached, and asked a question tentatively.Gong Yangyue thought it was interesting, she shook her hand pouring the wine, and said, "You have?"

"Really."

As he said that, the man really took a handful from his wide sleeve, and handed the fan over twice. It was a round fan woven with palmetto leaves held by the elders and ladies in the streets and alleys.

Gong Yangyue didn't pick it up, looked up, he was a young man in his teens, with bright eyes and white teeth, looks like a woman, very pretty, if he wasn't wearing Zhilang's official clothes, I'm afraid it would be suspicious The female relatives who went by mistake.

The young man blinked, and sent the cattail fan forward again, then sat down beside him and said with a smile: "I saw that this is the first time you have attended a banquet. I don't know there are many ways here."

"Let's listen to it." Gongyangyue took time off.

"The so-called three do not fall, do not put down the fan, don't put down the towel, and don't put down the mat," the young man said seriously, "you have seen this one, and now the fire is burning in July, and the people are all piled up." In the hall, you will be sweating profusely within a short while, hey, don’t look behind you, those two maids are holding barrier fans, they are used for ceremonial guards, they won’t fan you on the side of the head.”

Gong Yangyue felt that his words were very witty, so he continued: "Aren't you afraid of being caught, and punishing you for being disrespectful?"

"Just hide it well." As he said, he brought the fan and put it in his wide sleeves. When he sat down, he tucked it in his palm to be covered by the robe and the pillar, and only fanned his legs. It was really cool.

Gong Yangyue raised his eyebrows, noncommittal: "What about the other two?"

"Let's see," the young man conjured up a scarf from his sleeve, the color was like moon white, and there seemed to be still mist of cold smoke in this steamer-like treasure hall, "It's been suppressed by Bing Jian, you Touch it, isn't it cool?"

Before Gong Yangyue could make a move, he turned around again and took out a roll of thin mats from under his outer clothes: "There are no mats in the hall, but sheep-woven mats are used to sit on them, so you will get prickly heat from covering them. Here, you put this mat quietly." , if you want to get up, use the instep to turn over the lotus-colored cloth covering outside, so that you can't see it."

As he spoke, the young man stretched out his hands and said generously, "I'll give it all to you."

"How do you know I need it?" Gong Yangyue laughed.

"Brother Yancai asked me, he is not in the hall today," the young man approached and asked in a soft voice with a sly face, "It looks like he owes you a favor?"

Gong Yangyue didn't answer him directly, but sat up straight and squinted his eyes: "Which expert are you?"

"What a superior man, I'm the one," the young man cupped his hands and smiled humbly, "My humble Cui Hao, my father is Cui Hong, the servant of the Huang family."

That Cui Hong is the descendant of the Cui family in Qinghe, Guandong. Since he was a child, he has been talked about as a child prodigy in Jizhou. Dare to underestimate him, so he tried his best to recall how Chao Chen dealt with people on weekdays, imitating that tone: "It's new here, I still need Mr. Cui's advice."

Cui Hao pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.

Just at this moment, a court lady came to call, he turned his head to look into the crowd, Gong Yangyue raised his head, and followed his gaze, the person sitting in front of the food table was a graceful and calm elder, probably his father.

"Ask my sister to tell me, I'll go over there with one more question," he greeted his maidservant with a smile on his face, turned around after he had finished his explanation, turned around, and asked Gong Yangyue seriously: "Little Marquis, what do you think?" How is the hall today?"

"It's full of ghosts and monsters."

Cui Hao didn't hold back, let out a chuckle, and glared at him. Then Gong Yangyue put away his sloppiness, looked at the crowd, and sighed: "There are quite a few Han family clothes."

From the beginning of the Tuoba Shiyiqian Dynasty Zunhan system, although the etiquette and law were copied, the clothing customs have not been completely changed, and they have been slightly integrated, but they are still dressed in Hufu. This clothing does not refer to clothing, but refers to people.

Cui Hao's eyes lit up, and his face showed a bit of energy. After all, smart people love to deal with smart people, and there is no need to be too rigid when talking. "Forgive me for talking too much," he said with bright eyes, very serious, "Many people in the streets and alleys have said about your father. I heard from my father that His Majesty secretly suppressed this with an iron fist, but accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, and the holy will is hard to come by." Don’t take it lightly. If something goes wrong, you just need to remember that the Dai country is not a place where people are not tolerated, and you can just focus on Dai.”

Dedicated to generations?

Gongyangyue tapped her fingers on the table case, staring down at the jade plate: "Didn't Mrs. Cui ever serve as a Hanchen?"

For the last three generations, the Cui family has been serving the northern monarchs. After the Yongjia Rebellion, they never left Jizhou. The family’s continuous efforts for Sinicization are obvious to all. The merits and demerits need not be said with one mouth. Everyone has his own ambitions, but he has his own choices.Hearing this, Cui Hao has the arrogance accumulated by a big family for many generations: "The big man will be Zuo Mingjun himself, and he will soar to the nine heavens, so that he can show his talents to the fullest, isn't it?"

He stood up, straightened his clothes, and continued: "Whether it is Zhang Bin or Wang Meng, if they can become famous, they are inseparable from the king who assisted them. Moreover, if it is not for Xuan Delong's right, Mr. Wolong And how can one flex one's fists and conquer three parts of the country? Monarchs and ministers often complement each other, this is the choice."

After finishing speaking, Cui Hao left the table, Gong Yangyue stared at his receding back with his chin propped up, only felt that this man's ambition was obvious in his steps, but his sleeves were in a breeze, his spine was upright, and he was very calm.

Then, Gong Yangyue quietly stuffed the mat under her legs, saying that there is no right or wrong in this world, and right and wrong are left to future generations, not now.

----

Not long after Cui Hao returned to the banquet, Tuobagui came, and everyone who was chatting around returned to their seats, the ceremony officer sang the lyrics, and the rest of the people shouted long live, worshiping and congratulating.Tuoba Gui said a few high-sounding words, and said that there is no need to be strict with the banquet tonight, and then called the dancer to sing and blow, and declared the banquet to open.

The wine warmed the intestines, and a song was over, and the Kumoxi tribe (note) stepped out of the seat, clapped hands in the hall, and called the warriors waiting outside the hall to the hall.

Everyone looked outward in unison, only to see several burly men with stern faces stepping forward one by one, bowing their heads and kneeling at the bottom of the steps, shouting greetings.

"What do you mean?" Tuobagui said calmly.

Tengjin clasped his fists and laughed loudly: "Pingcheng suffered a tragic battle, Chen Liugong died, and the Yan thief insulted me, so I have to report it! I heard that your majesty intends to cut down Yan, and I, a warrior from the Kumoxi tribe, is willing to serve as your majesty's encouragement! Today's night banquet is really good!" When it's done, let the warriors of our clan perform the dance, and wish Your Majesty the best of luck and return home with great victories!"

"Come on, lift the fou!"

It is said to be dance, but it is actually martial arts.

What kind of dance do these big bastards know how to dance?Gong Yangyue felt bored, she held her head up and didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, she silently ate the delicacies on the plate, felt that this kind of life was really difficult, and suddenly admired Chao Chen, no matter how boring she was, she could bear her temper.

Just when he finished eating a plate of mutton and beckoned the maid to pick up the empty plate for more food, the pottery fou was shattered by a palm, and the pieces flew towards him.

Gong Yangyue pushed the little palace lady away with one palm, put one hand on the table and turned around, picking up the pieces one by one.

"Good work!"

Some people cheered in the hall, and some whispered, talking about Gongyang Qijiangu's identity as a disciple, sowing truth intentionally or unintentionally.It was Tuoba Gui who came forward to appease him and told everyone that the son of Princess Dingxiang had been living in Jianghu before he was found, and learned superb martial arts in Nanjian Valley.

Nanjian Valley is hidden deep in the middle of Shu. It is not known what kind of person it is. The man who went far away to fortify the grasslands does not know. Shocking the north, since it was compared by two people, it is not bad, and immediately a warrior stood up and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the grassroots are bold, and some skills are eager, and I want to ask the young master for advice."

"Dalu, how dare you move a sword in front of the palace!" It was Liu Luochen who reprimanded him.

Daru's words were not intended to be aimed at, but because of itchy hands. Qin Jin knew his temperament like the back of his hand. Before His Majesty spoke, he was scolded by the Dugu Ministry for no reason. "That's right, how can you show shame to the untouchables with the body of a daughter of the young master, Dalu, do you hear me, why don't you back down!"

When Dalu heard it, he was a little unhappy. No matter how low he was, he was at least a genuine Xianbei. To put it bluntly, although Gong Yangyue was the son of the princess, his father didn't know where he came from.But the anger returns to the air, after all, the Son of Heaven does not dare to be presumptuous, so he can only apologize in a muffled voice: "It's my fault, Dalu, and the young master is magnificent, and he was born by the princess, so how can you use force with me, a rough man."

Tuobagui turned his gaze and paused on Gongyangyue for a moment, then waved his hand to signal to back down.

Dalu saluted, and slowly stepped back. When he turned around, he leaned close to Gongyangyue's desk, and muttered intentionally: "Princess Dingxiang is a famous beauty in our dynasty. The son-in-law really had a discerning eye back then, and turned to the bright."

The one who had something good to say gave a strange smile, and then said, "What do you mean by abandoning the dark and turning to the bright? Dalu, with your mouth, don't use southern dialect indiscriminately."

The reckless man scratched his head in embarrassment, but his provocative gaze never left Gong Yangyue. Gong Yangyue clenched his cup tightly, raised his head to compare with him, and said coldly: "I also want to know, what is abandoning darkness and turning to light?"

When the turmoil broke out, all the seats were eagerly looking forward to it as if they had made an appointment.It was only a small-scale quarrel, but with the neat movements and exaggerated ecstasy when talking, Tuobagui couldn't ignore it if he wanted to. .

At that time, Cui Hao was whispering to his father, and when he heard the sound, he kept shaking his head towards Gongyangyue.

Tengjin gave a wink, and Dalu had enough courage to rely on, so he also pretended to bow his hands and said: "Please forgive me, the grassroots also heard rumors in the market that the son-in-law and the princess are in love, but they are married, so they say I broke up with his junior sister, but his junior sister messed around and got in the way, and the son-in-law almost fell for her, but fortunately, that bitch was finally punished and died, can this be regarded as abandoning the dark and turning to the bright?"

As he spoke, he exclaimed loudly: "The princess has a celestial appearance, and she once fought for the country. How dare a commoner bitch be compared to her!"

"Crack-"

Gongyangyue lost strength, and the wine bottle in his hand was shattered.

"It's good to die, it's not a pity for such a bitch to die!"

"I don't have any shame, I'm afraid I want to climb high branches, heh, I'm not even worthy of carrying shoes!"

"This kind of story has existed since ancient times. Didn't Wu Qi also kill his wife to show his determination to seek the general of Lu? Who knows if the son-in-law killed it himself. If it is true, he is also a bloody man. He is really a man who knows the current affairs!"

Bitch?Bitch!

Gong Yangyue's mind is full of only these two words, humiliating his mother, being cowardly and cowardly, is this what a son of man does, or what a man does?This has nothing to do with reason, if he really swallowed this breath, he wouldn't be Gongyangyue, not the devil who is still chic and casual even though he is scolded by the whole world!

The sword guard in front of the hall flickered, reached out to press his waist but couldn't hold it down, only heard the buzzing sound of the sword, the long sword flew into the hall, was grabbed by Gong Yangyue, and pointed his head straight at Dalu.

"What do you want to do?" Qin Jin asked cautiously.

There was a sneer on Gongyangyue's mouth, the sword was in his hand, and the intent to kill was in his heart. With just one move, he could kill this foul-mouthed man on the spot.

At this moment, the young emperor on the throne suddenly got up, pulled out his emperor sword, threw it with his hand, hit the blade of Gong Yangyue holding the long sword horizontally, and stuck it in the hall: "It is really inappropriate to use force in court. , Marquis Dingxiang has a heart, and wants to do a sword dance, so that everyone will open their eyes, and I will give you this sword of heaven!"

"Let's have fun, sword!"

The hall is completely silent, there is no sound of fou, no drums, no sound of Juntian Guangyue, no bells and rings, only a short flute sounds suddenly, like the wind rustling, like a horse's solemnity, but there are broken willows, but no return.

Gongyangyue pulled out the Son of Heaven sword, turned her head and glanced——

Chao Chen was standing outside the hall, dressed in the clothes of a musician, holding a Keting flute, walking towards him slowly.
