Chapter 29 Burning Tail Banquet

The so-called "tail-burning banquet" is a thing that was thought out after the restoration of the previous dynasty Emperor Xiaohe Li Xian. Legend has it that when a carp leaps over the dragon gate, the tails of the fish will be burned, and the fish will turn into a dragon and fly away. Therefore, the emperor issued an order for all court officials to be promoted to offer food to the emperor.

It was nothing at all. Who made the emperor stand up as an eternal empress and was placed under house arrest in Junzhou and Fangzhou, so scared that he couldn't even eat. His mother killed her son like killing an unrelated cat or dog. Naturally, the officials guarding him would not treat this emperor well at that time.

So after Li Xian ascended the throne, he ordered that the ministers would have to invite him to dinner whenever they were promoted. In the end, in order to get the ministers' meals, he often promoted the ministers. As a result, even the prime minister was overcrowded and often had to get out of work in a few months and make a seat for the people below so that the emperor could continue to eat free meals.

The Wei Gong mentioned by Gao Xianzhi was the most famous banquet among the many fried banquets that Emperor Xiaohe and Li Xian ate during his reign. The food list for this fried banquet has also become a feast that is far superior to the palace in the eyes of the world. However, this food list has always been secretly kept by Wei, and rarely revealed in the outside world, and few people can get a glimpse of the whole picture.

Shen Guang didn't expect that Gao Xianzhi was so big that he could even get the food order for this tail-cooked banquet. Although there were only ten dishes, it was probably a must-have.

During the banquet, whispers quickly rang out. When the warriors knew the origin of this food order, they couldn't help but look yearning. Speaking of which, they ate sheep every day in Anxi, and they almost vomited. Who asked Cheng Qianli, the deputy escort, to entertain them in the past, and they still ate "the sheep in the hall".

Even Cheng Qianli himself was shocked by Gao Xianzhi's work. He was from Chang'an. Of course, he knew how precious the food list for the Wei family's tail-burning banquet was, so he didn't bother with Gao Xianzhi, but he couldn't wait to start the banquet.

At this time, only Shen Guang remained calm among the crowd. He had seen the food list for the tail-cooked banquet. In his opinion, many dishes were complicated, and the chef's craftsmanship was the most critical point. Even if Gao Xianzhi was rich, he could not bring the chefs from Chang'an City to Anxi. With the chefs in Gao Mansion, there were a lot of skills, just painting cats, and looking at them.

"Everyone, I have been loved by the Great Hexi Jiedushi and recommended to the court that I know the military affairs of Anxi. In the future, I will ask you to work together with me to protect the peace of Anxi."

Gao Xianzhi raised his glass and said, "This cup is for the Great Hexi Jiedushi!"

"Congratulations to the Great Jiedushi of Hexi!"

Everyone raised their glasses together and headed west far away. Even Cheng Qianli did not dare to act rashly at this time. You should know that Meng Lingcha, the great governor of Hexi, had recommended him, but this person's mind was not very broad, and he didn't want to be cared about.

After a drink, Gao Xianzhi filled the cup again and said, "I wish you all this cup!"

"Thank you, Protector!"

Everyone said in unison again, but this time Cheng Qianli did not raise his glass, so Gao Xianzhi only thought he did not exist, and then signaled Shen Guang to let the music play music to cheer him up.

As Shen Guang thought about it, he naturally let the strongest group of musicians go on stage. When the guqin sounded leisurely, the civil servants and the nobles of the Kucha royal family looked at the platform together, because the musicians played and performed the first new song, which they had never heard of.

This song "Finger on the Moon with Left Hand" reorganized by Chen Guang himself, the guqin, erhu, pipa and flute are complemented by each other. Even if there is no modern mixing equipment, in the hands of those musicians who are attracted by this song, the instrument seems to have a soul, expressing the vastness, melodiousness, coldness and loneliness of this song to the fullest.

Bai Xiaojie, the King of Kucha, had forgotten the tail-burning banquet. His mind was now full of tunes that seemed to penetrate deep into people's hearts. He inexplicably remembered the young lady when he first arrived in Chang'an, and suddenly thought of the sadness and reluctance of the two when they parted.

Cheng Qianli endured the throbbing in his heart. He had to admit that this song he had never heard before was indeed considered elegant music, sad but not hurt, sad but not complaining. It was like a cold moon that suddenly evoked the softness in his heart, making you recall those past events that you thought you could forget.

The musicians below were also fascinated by it. Not only that, even the palace people who should have been busy were obsessed with it, forgetting to pour wine and handing over the dishes.

Of course, there are also people among the people who are not indifferent to this song, but when they look at the expressions of the people around them, they don’t say anything. Although they cannot be tempted, they have to admit that this song is at least not bad.

Outside the woods, the crowd who could only hear the lingering sounds faintly had completely forgotten the warnings of the soldiers, and couldn't help but tiptoe forward quietly just to hear them more clearly.

Finally, after the song was played, the music performed on the stage was still immersed in emotions, and most of the guests at the table were immersed in it and could not extricate themselves. Chen Guang was very satisfied with watching this scene. After all, this song "Finger on the Moon" can even be washed away by purple sweet potato essence. The ancients of this era did not accept too much information like people in later generations, so their brains should be more pure. Once empathy arouses, it will take longer to adjust their emotions.

After a long time, everyone recovered during the meal. Bai Xiaojie sighed directly, "After listening to this song, even Gao Dupu's tail-burning banquet made me feel bored, and I felt lost in my heart, and I was heartbroken and sad."

Cheng Qianli didn't say anything because he also felt that Gao Xianzhi's tail-burning banquet seemed nothing great. It was worth hearing such amazing music. However, what made him shocked was that if the rumors were true, this new song that had never been heard was made by the Chen Lang. Gao Xianzhi had a strong support and could please the saints far away in Chang'an.

He and Gao Xianzhi have similar qualifications and achievements. Who will become the Anxi Protector? To put it bluntly, it depends on someone in the court. Is there a greater backer in the world than a saint?

Thinking of this, Cheng Qianli looked at Chen Guang, who seemed to stand out among the crowd of musicians, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Gao Xianzhi. Feng Er in front and Chen Lang in the back. How lucky is this Gao Liu to be able to get these two people, and his subordinates are all brainless and reckless men. So what if you can fight? Anxi has never lacked powerful generals who can fight!

Although the carefully prepared tail-cooking banquet was stolen by Chen Guang, Gao Xianzhi didn't care at all. No matter how luxurious and exquisite the dishes on the tail-cooking banquet were, outsiders would still only regard him as a local bun in remote places. However, Chen Lang's song will be famous in Anxi and even in the world in the future. Who can laugh at him that Gao Xianzhi is just a martial artist?

Thinking of this, Gao Xianzhi's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes looked at Chen Guang became more and more satisfied. Unfortunately, none of his three daughters could beat him, so they could not hold Chen Lang's heart.

The tail-cooked banquet arrived as scheduled, and the dishes were handed over and over again. It was unclear how others were. He ate comfortably after he got into the table, and he thought of a new way to make money.

It takes some time to make the mud wine, and I don’t know how many times I tried it to succeed.

However, when the concerts performed live, the musicians are all veterans, and he does not lack music. As long as he finds a suitable place to build a concert hall, he can immediately sell tickets and make money.

Thinking of this, Chen Guang couldn't help looking at Gao Xianzhi. The only thing he was worried about now was whether doing this would make Gao Xianzhi unhappy. After all, people are slaves to Gao Xianzhi's mansion, and Gao Xianzhi is not short of money.

"What are Chen Lang thinking?"

Feng Changqing, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. He was not like his master who had heard the new song Chen Lang long ago, so he fell into memories, and at this time he was reminiscent of it.

"I was wondering, if I built a hall on my land that specializes in playing music, letting the musicians play music... 'Artistic Music', how much should I charge, and whether it is a gubernatorial ..."

Chen Guang did not avoid Feng Changqing's taboo. He could not tell Gao Xianzhi directly, but Feng Changqing could, so there was room for maneuver.

"This is the way Chen Lang thought of to make money...haha!"

Feng Changqing looked at Chen Guang, who was serious and not like he was joking, and his face was full of pain, "How can a person like Chen Lang be so romantic and free, you can get into the eyes of money!"

Chen Guang looked at Feng Changqing with a righteous face and said, "It's not appropriate for Chen Lang to come forward. I'll do this villain. I'll make money from you. Then I'll make money. What do Chen Lang think?"

"The Protector there..."

"The Protector is not short of money!"
