Chapter 322 Celebrate the New Year Together
Yaochi Palace!
This year's palace banquet was held at Yaochi Palace.

Civil servants and military generals, Mrs. Gao Ming, each have their own positions, and the juniors who came to join in the fun were discovered by chance, and no one said much.

In fact, because Wu Zetian was too ruthless, the number of juniors who dared to approach her was close to zero.

In recent years, Wu Zetian saw that if the juniors of the ministers attended the banquet in the palace, if they were relatively smart children, they would basically be rewarded.

If it's unbearably stubborn... no minister would bring a stubborn junior into the palace, if he can bring in, it must be better in some aspects.

In addition to ministers of civil and military affairs, famous Buddhist and Taoist sects such as Quanzhen Wudang Dawenshuyuan Daxiangguo Temple and Baima Temple also sent some Buddhist and Taoist experts to prepare for the blessing ceremony.

Naturally, these people arranged vegetarian banquets, and the craftsmanship of the royal chef was no less than that of the Shaolin bitter gourd master.

Wu Zetian raised the golden cup and said with a big smile: "This year's weather is smooth, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, it all depends on the hard work and diligence of all my lovers. I will have fun with you all!"

Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses.

After drinking a glass of wine, Di Renjie took the lead, and the ministers said all kinds of flattering words one by one, with brilliant writing skills, apparently revised dozens of drafts, and privately rehearsed two to three hundred times.

Li Jinyu found it very interesting, and occasionally learned a few words, preparing to use them to flatter others in the future.

Don't say that only Ding Chunqiu and Ren Woxing like to listen to flattery, there is no one who doesn't like to hear good things, but everyone likes to hear good things differently.

Some people like to listen to straightforward nonsense, some people like literary quotations from scriptures, and some people like more advanced ones and need to understand some Buddhist and Taoist thoughts.

And in terms of sycophancy, how many people attend the dinner party, for example, one hundred people, then they are the top [-] sycophants in the world.

Whether you are a clean official or not, what ability you have, has nothing to do with whether you will flatter or not. Li Bai has written such articles.

——You don't need to be sealed as Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in life, but I hope to know Han Jingzhou once.How admirable is this!
——Wouldn’t it be possible to have the style of Zhou Gong, to make the heroes of the world run and return, and once they climbed the dragon gate, the price would be ten times higher...

Li Jinyu's reward has not yet been officially issued, so there is no need for Li Jinyu to flatter her. Li Jinyu has enough time to study hard and memorize all kinds of vocabulary in her heart.

This is really not easy!

High-ranking officials go to shoot first, and junior officials go to shoot later, and you can’t say repetitive things. There are only so many auspicious words and allusions, but it is not easy to distribute them.

If you catch up with someone who insists on dropping the bookbag, and say more than a dozen allusions in one breath, the people behind will be unlucky.

It is very possible that after working hard on the manuscript, I suddenly found that all the auspicious words and allusions have been used. I need to think about the article temporarily, and I can't scratch my head. I must maintain a calm posture, otherwise I will be misunderstood by others.

——Being an official is not easy!

——Especially in a group of officials, when your official is the youngest, it is even more difficult!

No wonder the generals and the Ministry of War are put first, lest they can’t think of words, and the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy are put at the end. This group of people has the highest level of education.

sharp!sharp!learnt!learnt!
After saying all kinds of auspicious words, the ministers began to give gifts separately. Although the emperor is rich all over the world, at this time of year, he still has to give some gifts.

Of course, in order to show honesty and integrity, those that are too precious must not be given away, but it is okay to write some eulogizing articles.

It can also be miraculous flowers and trees, a few pictures with good calligraphy, and a Taoist copy of the Tao Te Ching.

Speaking of it, it is easiest to be a monk.

The opening verse of the "Diamond Sutra" was created by Wu Zetian, so find a few eminent monks and great virtues to copy a scripture together, which can be applied at any time.

In Wu Zetian's study, there are more than a dozen versions of the "Diamond Sutra", and I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Gongsun Lan, a disciple of the Changge Sect, presents a dance!"

Cao Zhengchun shouted loudly, and the officials suddenly woke up from their daze, ready to enjoy singing and dancing.

Gongsun Lan ranked fourth on the list of beauties, second only to the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect and Fairy Jingzhai. According to the opinions of most of the world, she can already be called the leader.

After all, Momen Jingzhai has dominated the rankings for hundreds of years, and ordinary people can only compete for third place in most cases. Only Gongsun Lan was unlucky. She met two Jingzhai fairies, so she could only rank fourth, not in the top three.

However, compared to other Jianghu sects, the Changge Sect is a Confucian sect with a close relationship with the imperial court. Every generation of outstanding disciples can participate in the imperial court's celebrations.

The rest of the outstanding musicians such as "Qin Xian" and "Zheng Xian" are not qualified to participate in the banquet.

Gongsun Lan was dressed in neon clothes and feathers, which made her already charming appearance even more beautiful. She held a pair of short swords in her hands, and the handles of the swords were tied with long ribbons.

Gongsun Lan had been to the palace before, and she didn't have the slightest stage fright about it. She saluted Wu Zetian, and then danced her two swords amidst the pipes and flutes.

In the old days, there was a beautiful woman, Gongsun, who used a sword to move around.

The viewer is as depressed as a mountain, and the world has been low for a long time.

Like Yi shooting the nine sunsets, like the emperors flying dragons.

Come like a thunderbolt to receive anger, stop like a Jianghai condensing clear light.

Whenever I think of Gongsun Jianwu, I think of the poems of the poet sage, and whenever I think of the poems of the poet sage, I naturally think of that magnificent beauty.

The poetry of the poet sage is immortal, and of course Gongsun Jianwu is also immortal, and it will be immortal for thousands of years.

Now, Jian Wu was right in front of Li Jinyu.

As the colorful feathers change, the magnificent sword energy changes accordingly. Whether it is appreciated as a dance or as a martial skill, it is the best in the world.

Gorgeous!

This was the only thought in Li Jinyu's mind.

fairy dance!

This was the only evaluation in Li Jinyu's mind.

Peerless!

This was the only point of view in Li Jinyu's mind.

Not only Li Jinyu, but also the women Tie Feihua and Su Ying were also obsessed with the sword dance.

"Whoosh!"

A wisp of sword energy arrived in front of Li Jinyu.

Li Jinyu didn't make any reaction, because the sword energy reached half a foot in front of him, and he retracted it naturally.

The two long ribbons are like living things in Gongsun Lan's hands, they can change at will, just like the extension of arms, there is absolutely no stagnation at all.

Of course, there is still some distance from the fine-grained control. Gongsun You and Gongsun Ying can control the sword energy within an inch.

In other words, if it was Gongsunyou and Gongsunying dancing, they could easily retract the sword when the sword energy was an inch away, and the movements were as smooth as ever.

Gongsun Lan said softly: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Li is not only proficient in martial arts, but also proficient in rhythm. Today is a day of celebration. Why don't you come and dance together to present a gift."

Hearing this, Tie Feihua and Su Ying reached out to Li Jinyu's back at the same time, and gently twisted it twice.

However, when Li Jinyu and Yelu Nanxian danced together at the victory dinner held in the Liao Kingdom camp, it was painted exactly by the painters of the Liao Kingdom.

This move was originally to celebrate the victory and to express the friendship between Liao and Wu Zhou, so three copies were specially drawn for this purpose.

Yelu Hongji kept one copy for himself, Madam She of the Left Weiwei Army kept one copy, and gave another copy to Li Jinyu, who was brought back to Luoyang by Li Jinyu.

Originally, this was nothing. After all, these paintings were only kept by Li Jinyu for collection, and they were not displayed for appreciation.

But the wounded soldiers settled in the ranch may be too grateful for Li Jinyu's kindness, and they spared no effort to promote Li Jinyu's reputation, including this matter.

The merchants who did business in the Central Plains spread these things back with embellishment, which has become an anecdote in the world.

There are even rumors in the world that if Li Jinyu wants to hook up with a heroine, he will ask someone to dance. If he agrees, there is no need to elaborate on the rest.

Because there is no saying, only doing!
There are also rumors in the world that if a certain heroine takes a fancy to Li Jinyu, she can ask Li Jinyu to dance. If Li Jinyu agrees, it is Lang Youqing's concubine who wants to.

Again not said, only done!
Seeing Gongsun Lan's invitation to dance together, Tie Feihua and Su Ying subconsciously felt a little jealous, and then thought that all civil and military officials were staring at this place, so she hurriedly put down her hands again.

With such a gesture, how could one hide it from Wu Zetian.

The old lady was very happy today, and felt that Li Jinyu had been back to Beijing for so long and had been on vacation at home, so she was too free, so she insisted on finding something for Li Jinyu to do.

Besides, she had never seen Li Jinyu dance, so she was very curious about it, and immediately said, "Today is the time for the emperor and his ministers to have fun together, so Jinyu might as well dance."

Li Jinyu said helplessly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I need musical instruments for dancing, please allow me to use the iron flute."

Although Wu Zetian is the supreme master, he obviously cannot bring weapons into the palace, not to mention weapons like Changying and Xuanjian, even Shang Yu was detained by the eunuchs.

Hearing Li Jinyu's request, Wu Zetian signaled, and Shangguan Wan'er sent Shang Yu over immediately.

Li Jinyu waved Shang Yu, tapped his toes, gently floated onto the round platform, and said with a smile: "I have never met Jian Wu, if there are any mistakes in my footsteps, please bear with me, please. "

Gongsun Lan said: "The young master invites you."

Before she finished speaking, two ribbons flew over like a long dragon. With the flash of sword light, the colorful streamers on her neon dress also began to dance non-stop, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a brilliant morning glow.

When I looked at it from a distance, I didn't feel it. At this moment, the bright lights were shining, and I was dizzy in panic. How could I tell where she was?where is the sword
Li Jinyu only saw a rosy glow coming with the rainbow light, that kind of beauty like the fairy palace and heaven, even made it difficult to arouse the slightest desire to respond.

The "sword weapon" is not a sword, but a dance.

"Sword Weapon" is not only dance, but also martial arts.

The power of this kind of swordsmanship requires "beauty" to assist in displaying it. Only a peerless beauty who overwhelms the country and city can bring this kind of swordsmanship to the extreme!

As long as the opponent is caught in it, no matter how high the martial arts are, they can only be restrained.

Gongsun Lan would not force Li Jinyu to attack Li Jinyu at this moment, but if Li Jinyu was really addicted to the sword dance, she would definitely make a small embarrassment.

Li Jinyu waved Shang Yu lightly, and slapped the palm of his left hand. His footsteps were scattered and gentle, as if stepping on thousands of flowers, with an indescribable elegance.

Twelve flowers among flowers!
One of the strongest unique skills of Huajian School.

But for Li Jinyu, it's just used to be arty and have some fun with others. Even if he holds a Shangyu to fight with others on weekdays, he will never use it.

The disciples of the Huajian School are the most arty, and most of them are handsome and extraordinary people. They once emphasized that "be among thousands of flowers, and not a single leaf will touch your body".

To put it bluntly, it is the school of scumbags.

If the inheritance of the Huajian School is still there, then Duan Zhengchun, the Southern King of Dali Town, must be the best disciple.

Gongsun Lan's magnificent sword dance is like a hundred flowers in full bloom, like a valley full of flowers.

Li Jinyu's astonishing movement is like returning from stepping on a flower, like the honey of a hundred flowers surrounded by bees and butterflies.

Gongsun Lan practiced dance steps. Although Li Jinyu didn't know dance steps, she matched with her martial arts skills. In addition, when Shang Yu swayed, the accompanying unique artistic conception, the officials were fascinated and applauded.

Gongsun Lan took a step forward, and Li Jinyu took a step back immediately, leaving a further space.

Gongsun Lan took a step back, and Li Jinyu followed closely to prevent the harmonious aura from becoming scattered.

When the court painters saw this beautiful dance, they couldn't help but began to draw it with their brushes. There were also some talented scholars who thought about the rhythm of the poems they should use.

"Isn't it okay to talk about it later? Do you have to let me take action at this time? Do you know how many eyes are staring at this place, you are really courageous!"

At the moment when the figures intersected, Li Jinyu sent a long message through the method of sound transmission.

Gongsun Lan's figure remained unchanged, obviously she had been prepared for this long ago, and replied, "I'm just curious about how much Mr. Liu is what my aunt said."

Li Jinyu said: "To be honest, otherwise I don't mind later, and make you a little embarrassing."

Gongsun Lan said: "It is said that Mr. Liu is the most sympathetic, why is he so rude to me?"

Li Jinyu said: "The reason is very simple, because I am now Li Jinyu, not Liu Sanbian."

Gongsun Lan said: "The matter of Qingyi Building."

Li Jinyu said: "Let's talk about this after a year!"

Gongsun Lan said: "It's not after the year, but after May, can you agree?"

Li Jinyu said: "Conditions! Benefits!"

Gongsun Lan said: "Dance with me..."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Lan's complexion was slightly flushed, and her breathing became a little short.

It's not because of other reasons, but because her skill is not able to perform the sword dance freely and freely while transmitting the sound into the secret, the dance steps have become a little chaotic.

Li Jinyu seemed to be responding, but in fact, she was pressing every step of the way. It seemed that the cooperation was perfect, but in fact it had compressed her space by more than [-]%.

Of course, from the perspective of the outside world, it has changed from Gongsun Lan's dominance to Li Jinyu's dominance, from a heroine's active pursuit of the son to a son's expression of love.

Tie Feihua secretly clenched her fists.

Don't you like watching sword dances?When I go back, I will use the Blood River Excalibur to give you a good dance!
Xu Yeyue was very dissatisfied.

It is said that my fate is that of a vixen. I think that Gongsun Lan is the real vixen. My dad must have made a mistake when he showed me my face!
Su Ying didn't care at all, she just admired it silently, and even prepared to enjoy the "Blood River Excalibur Sword Dance".

He Junqi looked at it curiously, thinking that the land of the Central Plains is very fun, and the dances are so beautiful.

Gongsun Lan said: "What do you want?"

Li Jinyu said: "I don't think about anything before the fifth day of the new year. If you really want to talk, just talk to me on the sixth day of the new year. I won't accompany you any other time!"

Gongsun Lan said: "What about the seventh day?"

Li Jinyu said: "It's all after the sixth grade."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jinyu had already taken the last step of the Twelve Branches of Huajian, blocking Gongsun Lan's footsteps just right, and Gongsun Lan stepped on the air.

Li Jinyu stretched out his hand and pulled gently to support Gongsun Lan's body, then saluted slightly, indicating that the dance was over, and thanked the audience for their applause.

Gongsun Lan has practiced dancing since she was a child, and she has meticulous control over her body. She swayed slightly to stabilize her body, followed Li Jinyu to salute gracefully, and then walked off the round stage.

Wu Zetian said: "Good! Good!"

The ministers immediately applauded upon hearing this.

The bells and drums rang together, and the applause was thunderous.

Li Jinyu returned to her seat, enjoying Tie Feihua and Su Ying's chasing pinch, but the expression on her face did not change at all, it was full of smiles.

Wu Zetian said: "Declare the decree!"

Shangguan Wan'er immediately took out the imperial decree.

In fact, there is nothing else, just a reward for Li Jinyu's achievements. First, he praised Li Jinyu for his "loyalty and bravery", and then said that Wu Zetian was "benevolent". After a long period of meaningless nonsense, he finally came to the topic.

"Conferring Li Jinyu the title of Marquis of Jinling County, inspecting General Qianniuwei and General Yunhui..."

The officials had no doubts about the "junhou".

Those who are eligible to participate in the dinner party basically know about it, so naturally they will not object.

As for the pile of false jobs in the back, they are meaningless except for the high salary, and Li Jinyu has never been short of money, which is equivalent to being useless.

The rest of the official positions with real power are hidden in the "cracks" of the imperial decree. By the time a censor realizes that something is wrong, it will already be a done deal.

Except for Li Jinyu, Yuchi Minglou who made contributions in Huzhou, Yuchi Mingcheng who made contributions in Youzhou, and many generals, all received rewards.

Even Di Guangyuan, who was far away in Youzhou, had changed from a generational governor to a governor, and became an official of the frontier.

Although Youzhou is relatively poor and does not have as many people as those rich and prosperous cities, it is an important defensive town. The power of the governor of Youzhou is no less than that of the governor of Shangzhou in Zhongzhou.

Not to mention that the sky of Youzhou is high and the emperor is far away, and the governor of Youzhou is equivalent to the emperor of Tu. If you think about how happy Fang Qian was back then, you will know how chic this position is.

Another point is that with the alliance with the Liao Kingdom, Li Jinyu will build a horse ranch and open a commercial transfer station. There will be more and more businessmen coming and going, and Youzhou will become richer and richer. All of these will become Di Guangyuan's political achievements.

Perhaps in a few years, the governor of Youzhou can be promoted to the governor of Yangzhou, or even the governor of Luozhou.

Shangguan Wan'er and Cao Zhengchun took turns holding out one imperial decree after another, talking dryly, and finally finished the rewards of civil and military officials. After Wu Zetian announced that the palace dinner was over, they could finally go home to watch the new year.

Of course, the Chinese New Year is to keep the year old. Emperor Taizong once wrote a poem:
The oblique Fang Palace in the evening view, the gorgeous palace in the year.

Cold resigns and winter snows, and warmth brings spring breeze.

Jie Fu Shu Mei Su, in a rosy candle.

Happy New Year's Eve together, welcome and send off a night.

The old year has passed, and the new year is coming. In the new year, of course, we must:
Smooth sailing, two dragons take off, three goats thrive, four seasons are safe, five blessings come to the door, six animals prosper, seven stars shine brightly, wealth comes from all directions, ninety-nine are concentric, and then, there will be a perfect and happy union for a hundred years!
Green willows and eyebrows, peace and happiness every year,

Hearts spit out pistils, people are happy at home and everything is going well.

In the new year, you have to laugh a lot!
　On New Year's Eve, I wish you all smooth sailing, two dragons soaring, three sheep prospering, four seasons of peace, five blessings, six animals prospering, seven stars shining brightly, wealth from all directions, ninety-nine concentric, perfect, a hundred years of harmony, all kinds of satisfaction, everything As one wishes
