Chapter 112 Yueling Taishan, Your Majesty's masterpiece
Chapter 112
On the third day of Yang Qian's stay at Li Yuan's residence, he finally received the news from Brother Zheng.
Zheng Shanyuan led the main force and finally escorted the collection of Emperor's Poems to Yangzhou safely.
After some discussion, the Zheng brothers decided that Zheng Shanyuan, the oldest and most dignified member of the Zheng family, would be the representative to present the donation together with Yang Qian.
During the Double Ninth Festival, when the golden autumn is bringing coolness, the fragrant osmanthus is fragrant, and the wind and frost are noble, it is appropriate to climb high and look far into the distance, appreciate the chrysanthemums and compose poems.
Yangzijin is located at the ferry terminal in the south of Yangzhou. It has beautiful scenery and green mountains, especially the magnificence and elegance of the south of the Yangtze River.
Emperor Yang Guang decided to climb Yuelingtai Mountain not far from Yangzijin to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival.
Yang Guang led hundreds of civil and military officials, concubines and maids, and more than a thousand people, slowly climbing the mountain.
As for the area around Yuelingtai Mountain, it has long been surrounded by tens of thousands of elite Sui warriors.
Not to mention people, even the beasts in the mountains have been driven away or hunted down in advance.
And many sika deer, cranes, storks and other auspicious birds and animals were placed in the mountains.
Yang Qian and Zheng Shanyuan followed Li Yuan to Yangzijin, and were arranged to stay at the foot of Yuelingtai Mountain with the three thousand volumes of the Emperor's poems and poems.
Li Yuan thought carefully and left a few followers behind, setting up a banquet with wine and food so that Yang Qian and Zheng Shanyuan would not sit there until dark.
Although it was late autumn, the sun was still blazing during the day, so we waited until after noon when the temperature gradually cooled down.
The emperor's imperial chariot then began to march towards Yuelingtai Mountain.
Yang Guang slowly climbed the mountain with his hands behind his hands, admiring the beautiful mountains and the clear stream.
The chirping of birds from time to time echoed through the forest.
There are many of these birds and animals singing, and they are all jugglers with ventriloquism talents hiding in the forest.
When Yang Guang was about to pass by, he made a sound to attract birds and beasts to sing in unison.
The clear stream, the fresh air in the mountains, the sweet sounds, and the melodious joy that comes to my ears from time to time.
This put a smile on Yang Guang's face, which had been in a gloomy mood these past few days.
Seeing the change in the emperor's expression, all the ministers naturally relaxed a little.
The retainers and dead men of He Ruobi, Yuwenbi, Gao Jiong and others were attacked.
Although it did not cause any damage, the impact was huge.
This made the courtiers in Yangzhou panic and uneasy, and also made the emperor angry. Nearly half of the officials in Jiangdu County were dismissed from their posts.
As for the eunuchs in the palace, more than five of them were killed because they accidentally made Yang Guang unhappy.
This made all the courtiers more and more worried, fearing that if they accidentally offend the emperor again, they might become a fish in the pond.
Autumn is high and crisp, but autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is different from that in the north. On the mountains, the trees are stacked on top of each other, and the yellow, green, and emerald reds in the forest are mixed in a well-proportioned manner.
Accompanied by the vast river and the misty and rainy mountains in the distance, it is really like an endless autumn scene in the south of the Yangtze River.
It was quite enjoyable to keep walking slowly around the scenery, pointing out the landscape with the ministers, or reciting poems.
When he saw that Yang Guang was slightly tired, the eunuchs hurried forward to lead him, and a group of monarchs and ministers arrived at Yuelingtai in Yuelingtai Mountain.
This is a platform, and after the Imperial Guards came here in advance to repair it, it looks even wider.
The couch screen, melons, fruits and fine wine had been prepared early, and the moment they saw Yang Guang ascending the Yueling Platform.
Following the eunuch's hint, the chimes rang, and elegant and majestic sounds began to play on the Yuoling Platform.
A group of beautiful young women began to dance.
The trained cranes and sika deer wander around the outside, just like a fairyland on earth.
Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction, turned around and held the gorgeous Empress Xiao beside him, and walked towards the imperial case surrounded by a group of concubines and maidens.
Li Yuan took the hand of Li Shimin, the dog, and under the guidance of the eunuch, he came to his own place and sat down.
Li Xiuning, who was sitting behind Li Yuan, was still dressed in Hu Yi, making her look even more heroic.
Especially her height, which even most men need to look up to, makes people look at her.
After dancing and singing, a group of ministers exchanged cups and drank some fine wine and fruits, they finally felt relieved from the boredom of climbing high.
At this time, officials and gentry in the Jiangnan area began to present gifts to Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
The most eye-catching thing is a Taihu stone about one foot and five feet high.
It is winding and rounded, graceful and elegant, like a dancing girl, which attracted the admiration of all the ministers.
Yang Guang happily announced the rewards to the contributors and asked the Imperial Army to keep the Taihu Stone in a good collection.
At that time, it will be placed in the Jiangdu Palace.
When the Jiangnan officials and gentry had finished their contributions, Li Yuan cleared his throat and stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have been entrusted by someone today, and I have something to offer to Your Majesty.
One congratulations on the Double Ninth Festival, two congratulations on the peace and prosperity of the Sui Dynasty and the people, and three congratulations on Your Majesty."
Li Yuan's voice immediately caused the buzzing discussions among the officials to gradually dissipate.
They all looked at the Duke of Tang with curiosity, and Yang Guang, who was whispering to Queen Xiao, also turned his head in surprise.
"It turns out to be Li Qing. Who has entrusted you to do this? What do you want to give me?"
"I have been entrusted by Yang Qian, a tribute from Xingyang, and Zheng from Xingyang to present to Your Majesty a good thing that will inspire the hearts of the world's scholars."
"Yang Qian, why is it that guy again?"
"Isn't that boy in Xingyang?"
"What can he offer? Could it be that this time he is offering silver flowers eggs?"
All the important officials of the Sui Dynasty were whispering to each other, and there was surprise in their tone.
There is still curiosity, but more of it is doubt and ridicule.
It's just that these voices were suppressed very low, for fear that they would be heard by Emperor Yang Guang.
"Yang Qian?" Yang Guang's face couldn't help but look a little more strange, and he looked at Li Yuandao with great interest.
"What does the little Yangqing family ask you to donate?"
"It is a collection of three thousand volumes of the Emperor's poems and poems produced by Yang Qian following his father's idea and using woodblock printing."
Li Yuan respectfully handed the sandalwood box he brought with him to Yang Guang's imperial couch.
The eunuch took it, opened it, examined it, and then placed it on the imperial desk.
Yang Guang looked at the opened sandalwood box and saw several volumes of the Emperor's poems and poems neatly placed inside.
Subconsciously, he noticed the unusualness of these volumes and let out a soft sigh.
Queen Xiao on the side also stretched her jade neck and watched Yang Guang lay out six volumes of the emperor's poems and poems on the imperial desk.
I picked up a volume and opened it in my hand, I couldn't help but have a strange look on my face.
"They are all your majesty's masterpieces. Please take a look, your majesty. There is even Wang Zhongyan's praise and comments on your majesty's masterpieces."
