Chapter 728 Banquet at the Palace of the Han Dynasty
After entering the Han Palace, there are bell towers and drum towers on the left and right, and in front is the majestic Han Palace, which is located in the center of the Han Palace. In the square covered with gray bricks, large stone slabs are used to pave an avenue in front of the main hall.
, straight to the palace gate.
The Hanwang Palace is the most majestic building in the Hanwang Palace, with twelve rooms in width and fifteen rooms in depth. The most impressive thing is that the roof of the palace has a single eaves and four slopes, with four-story brackets protruding from the eaves. The structure is simple yet complex.
The combination of aesthetics and mechanics shows that Yang Liang spent a lot of thought on the Han Palace.
There are six chairs at the north end of the spacious hall. Those who can sit in these six seats are members of the Wang family. There are guest seats on the east, west and south sides. Everything is in order.
Although the hall was full of people at this time, due to the presence of these three heavyweights, Wang Long, Yang Su and Yu Wenhua, everyone was solemn and self-possessed, not daring to make any noise, and the atmosphere was restrained and solemn.
The people sitting on the main seat in the north are all members of the Wang family, the seats in the east are occupied by Yang Su and his generals, and his close guard masters, while in the west are Yu Wenhuaji and his generals and bodyguard masters, and in the south are
Local officials and nobles in Taiyuan City.
Although Yang Su and Yu Wenshu were fighting overtly and covertly, and Yang Su and Yu Wenhua were too cruel to kill each other at this time, on the surface the two were still chatting and laughing.
It's just that Yu Wenji is much different from Yang Su in terms of status and official seniority. Logically speaking, he is not qualified to sit with him at the same table. However, because he represents the Yuwen family, Wang's arrangement makes sense.
Wang Long took the lead and gave three toasts to Yang Su, making the atmosphere in the hall immediately lively.
More than a hundred kabuki dancers, led by Wang Yingying, a famous Taiyuan dancer, floated out like butterflies from the apse doors on both sides, singing and dancing to the melodious sound of drums.
Among the dancers, Wang Yingying is particularly charming, and her outstanding graceful posture is especially highlighted by the many kabuki plays. With the girls singing in harmony, she sings and dances softly, and her voice is sweet. Although she is not as elegant as a famous prostitute in the capital, she is also different.
With such a charming charm, it is no wonder that she has become the most popular actress in Taiyuan.
I saw the skirt of her skirt billowing, her long sleeves fluttering, Wang Yingying's melodious singing voice, and her gorgeous dancing posture that could turn her eyes from the city to the country. Even Yang Su temporarily set his sights on her.
At this time, I only heard Wang Yingying singing in the lead: "The rain and dew are fresh in front of the calyx building, and the people of Taiyuan City are peaceful. The dragon carries a thousand flames from the fire tree, and the chicken steps on the lotus. Long live the spring. The palace is playing on the spring platform, and the rain and wind are flowing. Don't be jealous."
In the north of the state, there are lanterns and trees with thousands of shadows, and in the east of China there are thousands of golden towers."
When Yang Su heard this, his expression changed. The words used in this poem were a bit bold! But he didn't think much about it.
After the song ended, the lights dimmed, and suddenly a colored lantern appeared in the hands of the girls like a magic trick. Hundreds of lanterns danced in the rays of light, and thousands of patterns woven by the dancing paths of the lights were transformed in the space of the hall.
, everyone was dazzled and amazed.
When the lights in the hall came back on, all the dancers had already exited the hall the way they came.
At this time, there were maids serving delicacies to the table like a stream of water, and it was another bustle.
It was Yang Su's turn to toast Wang Long, creating a harmonious atmosphere where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After three rounds of drinking, three hundred heroes escorted the Imperial Guards in battle armor, marched in from the main hall door, lined up in various formations, held knives and grabbed swords and shields, performing a "military formation" full of aesthetics.
, this has been a must-have performance at the celebration banquet after the victory of the army since the Qin and Han Dynasties. Compared with the beautiful dance just now, it is another performance full of masculinity and equally exciting.
After the "military dance" was over, Yu Wenhuaji and his generals toasted to Wang Long, which was another lively event.
After a group of nobles and officials from Bingzhou came forward to toast Wang Long, Yang Su and Yu Wenhuaji, Yu Wenhuaji suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Marshal Yang led the army all the way north, and successfully killed the traitor Gao Ying one after another. I Yu Yu
With the strong cooperation of the Wang family, the culture and the surprise troops sent out from Youzhou captured Taiyuan City. Of course, it is up to your Majesty to decide who has greater merit between me and Marshal Yang."
Although Yang Su had heard about Yu Wenhua and this junior's behavior for a long time, after hearing Yu Wenhua's shameless words, his eyebrows were still beating with anger. Fortunately, he was deep enough in the city, and he was not
I don’t appreciate military success, so I pretended not to hear.
When Yu Wenhuaji saw that Yang Su remained silent, he became even more proud and continued to speak loudly: "Tonight is a grand event. According to our Sui tradition, martial arts examinations are indispensable. I will use this to attract others and send my bodyguards to accept the challenge.
Immediately, regardless of the winner or loser, both sides will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold to add to the fun."
There was a burst of colorful cheers in the hall.
Under the attention of everyone, Yu Wenhua and a young guard behind him who looked a little thin stood up holding a sword and came to the front of the hall proudly. They looked at Yang Su's side coldly, obviously pointing the finger at Yang Su.
.
In Yu Wenhua's words, it seemed that anyone could challenge his expressionless guard. In fact, only Yang Su's side was qualified and dared to fight. In other words, Yu Wenhua's move itself was a provocation to Yang Su's side.
Yu Wenhuaji's repeated provocations had really aroused Yang Su's heart. If he hadn't been deeply suspected by Yang Guang, he would have taken down Yu Wenhuaji and taught him a lesson directly as the commander-in-chief of counter-rebellion and Bingzhou.
Yang Su snorted coldly and whispered to a soldier behind him: "Du Feng, go up and kill him directly."
The guard named Du Feng nodded, immediately stood up and strode into the open space in the middle. He looked coldly at Yu Wenhuaji's personal guard, his face was calm, and he had an unfathomable calm attitude.
At this time, the hall was so quiet that there was no sound.
Yes, the soldier sent by Yu Wenhuaji was dressed as Nie Xiaoyu. When Du Feng saw Nie Xiaoyu standing there motionless, he cupped his fists in salute and said, "Please feel free to teach me."
Nie Xiaoyu returned the gift.
Then the two of them separated to the left and right.
Du Feng held the sheath with his left hand and raised it straight in front of him. With Nie Xiaoyu on his back, he pulled out the thick-backed sword from the sheath, and made a loud noise that took the lead and shocked the entire audience.
His feet were slightly apart, and combined with his majestic figure as tall and straight as a pine or cypress, he truly had an aura that was as immovable as a mountain and towering over the mountains. He immediately aroused a burst of cheers, adding to his majesty.
Nie Xiaoyu's expression was expressionless as he slowly pulled the sword out of its sheath.
Everyone in the palace who knew about weapons shook their heads, because Nie Xiaoyu's sword was just an ordinary stainless steel sword, which was far inferior to Du Feng's thick-backed sword.
Yu Wenhua and the people on the other side were also shocked when they saw it. They didn't expect that he was using such an ordinary sword blade. I was afraid that it would not be able to block Du Feng's sword for many times, and it would be broken by force.
Nie Xiaoyu didn't pay any attention to the sighs made by others towards his long sword. He stared at Du Feng strangely, then wiped the edge of the sword with his fingertips. When he moved to the end of the sword, he said in a very strange tone:
