Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 72 The secret fight between Emperor Cao Shuang and Emperor Cao Shuang during the banquet!
Chapter 72 The secret fight between Emperor Cao Shuang and Emperor Cao Shuang during the banquet!
Zhen Wen picked up the wine cup filled by the maid, stood up and walked to Cao Shuang's desk. He smiled and said: "General, I also come to honor you with a cup of wine to express my condolences to the general for his hard work on the bloody battlefield for the country.
!"
Then he raised the wine baron and had a drink with Cao Shuang at a short distance away. Cao Shuang also stood up and drank the wine barley in front of him in order to show respect to the newly promoted Marquis of Wanhu.
Then an endless stream of ministers from the court picked up the full cups of wine and ran to Cao Shuang's desk to honor Cao Shuang. They all said: "General, I'm here to honor you, too."
Once it’s done, you can do whatever you want!”
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "Let us all wish that the Wei Dynasty will be forever strong!"
Cao Shuang was not as arrogant as before, and did not look at others with a straight face, but happily accepted the toasts from the ministers. Cao Shuang glanced at the aloof young emperor Cao Fang from time to time, and saw that his face became increasingly livid, but he continued to endure it.
Say nothing.
After Cao Shuang waited for most of the ministers to toast him, he said calmly: "Come, gentlemen, let us jointly salute your majesty. Without your majesty's wisdom and prowess, strategizing and decisive victory thousands of miles away, what would we and you soldiers be?"
It is impossible to achieve a great victory!"
Cao Shuang then filled another cup, and when all the ministers had filled up the already empty cup, they raised it together. Seeing Cao Shuang's behavior, Cao Fang immediately put on a smile and signaled the maid to fill up the cup, and also raised the cup and said:
"Come, gentlemen, let me and you all wish the Wei Dynasty to unify the world as soon as possible and realize Emperor Wu's great wish!"
Under the leadership of Cao Shuang, all the officials raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. They raised their hands and said in unison: "Long live your Majesty, long live...!"
Cao Fang asked you, are you sincere? Most of them are just obeying the pretense of my uncle Cao Shuang, a powerful minister. After all, most of them are still willing to listen to Cao Shuang, not to him, the emperor of Wei.
But if the general trend is like this, what can this weak emperor do?
I can only secretly accumulate strength, hoping that I can fight with my uncle Cao Shuang soon, bring him down, and take sole control of the Wei Dynasty.
The weather in Luoyang becomes even hotter in the afternoon, and people can't bear to be directly exposed to the sun's scorching heat. They can only hide under a slightly shady tree, or indoors where ice mirrors and hand-powered windmill fans are placed to enjoy the unique experience.
The cool meaning of different classes.
The Heavenly Palace is the place with the most abundant ice. Today, the civil and military ministers gathered in the Taiji Palace, and it is even more impossible for the palace to be stingy and not part with the hard-earned ice.
After the ice is collected from rivers and lakes near Luoyang in winter, it is stored in ice wells and preserved until it is used in summer.
But this is not something that ordinary people can afford. Only the emperor and a few wealthy families can be so luxurious in summer, using so many ice cubes at one time to cool down, relieve the heat, and chill wine.
Most of the courtiers felt a bit of air-conditioning in the palace that could not be felt in the palace, to relieve the heat of the hot summer...
After all, it was a celebration banquet, and all the officials were chatting happily with acquaintances in this cool hall, waiting for other exciting programs to be performed at the banquet.
After a cup of tea, the Hu dance with masculine beauty was slowly performed by the palace dancers in the center of the hall. After several Hu dances were performed,
After that, the pan dance was performed. In the palace, the civil and military officials saw the posture of the dancer. Although she had already risen, her right leg was about to jump to another pan. This downward movement trend,
It not only converts the upward force into horizontal force, but also enhances the feeling of the center of gravity being downward, making the movements appear more rapid in the lightness and agility, and tension in the stretch.
"Pan drumming" is a unique skill of the Han Dynasty. Especially in the Cao Wei period, pan drumming has become an indispensable classic art form in Tongquetai. Naturally, it has become a traditional song for Cao Wei's celebrations and other banquets, and it has been passed down to this day.
Lasting...
Then came the music and dance of the Qing Dynasty merchants who formed the Qing Dynasty Commercial Office during the Cao and Wei Dynasties in Jian'an. After a few songs and dances, all the officials were briefly intoxicated. Even Cao Fang was not immune. After all, the development and growth of the Qing Dynasty Commercial Office played a big role.
The credit must be recorded on his head.
The last song is the banquet's repertoire "White Band Dance", which is a "fine product" of Qing Shang music and dance. It has been polished by dance music masters of the past generations.
For hundreds of years, it has been a "repertoire" often performed at banquets. A white band dance makes everyone indulge in the dancer's long white sleeves fluttering in the wind. After the song is finished, the meaning is still unfinished...
After all, several emperors in the Cao Wei Dynasty preferred Qing Shang music and dance.
"Three Kingdoms·Wei Zhi·Wudi Ji" annotated "The Biography of Cao Man" and said: "Taizu (Cao Cao) was a man of no prestige. He was good at music and advocated excellence on his side. He often used the sun to reach the evening." Cao Cao also left an order.
After his death, his dancers lived on the Bronze Bird Terrace. "On the first and fifteenth day of every month, from morning to noon, they would often dance in the tent."
When Cao Pi established the Wei State (220), he specially set up the Qing Commercial Department, which was a specialized agency for female musicians and dancers.
"Wei Shu Qi Wang Fang Ji" says: "Whenever the emperor saw a beautiful woman from his nine relatives, he might keep her to pay off the merchants."
Cao's father and son, Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, etc. all wrote many poems to accompany songs and dances based on the music of the Qing and Shang Dynasties.
When Wang Sengqian of the Liu Song Dynasty discussed the Shang Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, he said: "Today's Qing Shang Dynasty is actually the three ancestors of the Tongque Wei Dynasty (Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Rui).
Therefore, the dancers in the Qing Commercial Office in the palace today are all dancers carefully selected by Cao Fang, and their beauty and figure are rare, which naturally makes the civil and military officials more fascinated.
Cao Fang smiled proudly and said: "General, what do you think of the dancers from the Qing Commercial Department that I personally selected?"
Cao Shuang said: "Your Majesty's Qing Commercial Office is naturally the best in the Wei Dynasty, and the dancers you personally selected are also the most beautiful in the world. Naturally, the ones in your palace cannot compare!"
Cao Fang nodded slightly, and the twelve emperor's hair above her head swayed slightly, and said: "If the general likes me, I can also send you a few dancing girls to take back."
Cao Shuang thought to himself that the young emperor was probably planning something bad again. He had impure motives, so he had to be more careful. Cao Shuang said, "Your Majesty, this Qing Commercial Office belongs to your Majesty, and the dancers inside are also your Majesty's.
How can I give it to a minister so easily? I would never dare to accept His Majesty’s kindness.”
Cao Fang sighed: "Well, since the general refuses to accept my kindness, I will no longer embarrass the general. In a few days, I will officially promote the general to a higher rank!"
Cao Shuang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cao Fang smiled and said: "You may drink freely today, but when you get drunk, I will ask the palace servants to take you back home!"
All the ministers thanked them and continued to drink. At night, they left the palace and returned to their homes to have a rest...
