Chapter 505: Infatuation
Chao Heng looked at the motherland ambassador kneeling in front of him with embarrassment. He never expected that the other party would come to ask him to be the guard in front of the goal for tomorrow's game.
"Abe, tomorrow's game is related to my country's face, you must not refuse."
In today's semi-finals, even the saints will come to watch the game in person. This is the best opportunity for the envoys of Silla, Japan. What's more, the saints have always been generous. Not to mention the rewards for winning the game, if the saints give other rewards, it would be a surprise.
Especially for the Japanese ambassadors, there were no Silla maids in their country to sell them. The cost of the Tang Dynasty was entirely due to saving food and rewards from the court. This time, the delegation misappropriated the tuition fees for the students sent to Tang Dynasty students in the coming year before they hired the Tang Dynasty's Cuju masters to fight in place of their own country. There was absolutely no way to lose money.
Chao Heng wanted to refuse. Now he lived a comfortable life in the Tang Dynasty and had a smooth career. If he was on behalf of Japan, who would know if he would be ridiculed as if he would not leave his hometown and his old country, but asked his superiors and colleagues to treat him as an outsider.
But looking at the mother country ambassador who was sticking to the ground in front of him, Chao Heng could not say anything about this rejection, and finally he could only sigh, "Ambuy, please come on, Chao should do it."
"With Chao Bujue's battle, we will definitely beat those despicable Silla people."
The Japanese ambassador finally stood up and said happily, but he did not call Chao Heng the Japanese name again. The reason why the Tang envoys sent in China to send Tang envoys every few years was that, the country was poor in financial resources and the East China Sea was that the carefully selected talents came to the Tang Dynasty and were reluctant to return to China.
Thinking about the prosperity of Chang'an City and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, even the Japanese ambassador was unwilling to return to China, so he could understand why the Abe court minister Nakamaro (after the Heian era, the Abe family changed to the Abe family) was reluctant, but fortunately, this rare eldest man in the country finally agreed.
...
The news that King Yong was demoted to the public tomb of the imperial tomb did not cause much trouble in Chang'an City. However, after the guests of the royal palace scattered, there were a lot of rumors in the market. When talking about the secret affairs of this royal family king who was originally quite famous, the people of Chang'an City, who loved palace secrets, had a lot of topics to talk about after dinner.
In Shenyuan, the dancer Gongsun, who was once a beautiful woman in the Kaiyuan period, knew from her friend Hu Ji, that her disciple was afraid of escaping Liangzhou, but she did not tell others about this. She just took this opportunity to leave the prosperous city of Chang'an, which was just a prison for her.
Before leaving, famous musicians, such as Li Guinian, Ma Xianqi, He Huaizhi, and Xu Hezi, were very reluctant to leave when they went to see him off. Shenyuan was both good at dancing and music. This dance was supported by Aunt Gongsun and her disciples. Now the two Gongsun clans are not here, and I don’t know who can use dance to fully display the beauty of their music.
"You guys, I'll go to Liangzhou and have been together for many years. I'll see you again in the future."
Aunt Gongsun looked at the friends who came to see him, and was very free and easy. Among them, Xu Hezi, who was faintly the best singer in the world, was the most heroic. "Sister, go, when the poem helps them out of the mountain, I will go to Liangzhou to find my sister. Then follow Shen Lang to Anxi. When the sister dances, I will sing. We will sing whenever we want, and we will dance whenever we want, so as not to see the faces of those rich people all day long."
Xu Hezi's words were bold and direct, but Li Wen, who came to hear the news, was embarrassed. Of course, he knew that those noble families who spent a lot of money in Shenyuan, not only appreciated the dance music and music, but also coveted the colors and appearances of the monkeys of the monkeys in the garden. If Chenyuan had not had a deep background, he was afraid that those good women would become playthings in the noble people's mansions.
Li Guinian and the others were also worried when they heard this, and they were also moved. Even Zhang Changshi and Wu Daozi went to Anxi with Chen Lang. Why couldn't they go? Li Guinian, who had abandoned fame and fortune for half a lifetime in Shenyuan, could not help but speak, "What is Yongxingji saying? Now that Chenyuan has many talents, we old guys can also live in peace, so as not to block the young people's way and be regarded as old thieves who cannot get in love with them!"
During the Ma Xian period, He Huaizhi and others' eyes lit up. Chen Lang was not there, and they always felt that something was missing. Although they had made many new songs, they always felt that something was worse than Chen Lang. Thinking of this, these unrestrained Tang musicians wanted to set off for Liangzhou immediately. But when Chen Lang left, they could only suppress it and decided to say goodbye to the saint after he taught his disciples to come out of the mountain.
"King, it's not too early, please come back!"
Aunt Gongsun looked at King Ruyang who was waiting beside him. Although she understood the feelings of the royal king, she would not say that the two were more than ten years apart. The most important thing was that she longed for freedom. Now she had finally gotten rid of the cage. For the sake of Ali, the saints couldn't force her to stay with her. How could she stay for this king?
"Lan Niang, I know your wishes. I have asked the saint to transfer Anxi to Anxi. I am here today. I am going to Anxi with you, Lan Niang."
Li Feng looked at Aunt Gongsun without any concealing his admiration and passionate emotions, and his actions also moved everyone around him.
"King, the saint has not allowed you to leave Chang'an City like this..."
Aunt Gongsun frowned slightly. There were countless people who pursued her over the years, but the one who had the deepest feelings was the young Prince of Ruyang, and he had never acted rudely.
"Lan Niang, wealth and honor are like clouds. If the saint refuses to let go of this king's title. What's wrong with being a free and carefree commoner!"
While Li Wen was talking, he led a horse pulling an ordinary carriage next to him and said, "The road in Liangzhou is far away, and it is inevitable that the wind and sun are blowing. Li Wen only wants to be a chauffeur for Lan Niang, and ask Lan Niang not to reject me."
"Sister, promise him!"
Xu Hezi, who had always been bold, saw that Mrs. Gongsun was hesitant and shouted at the side. If she had such a man infatuated to her, she would not have hesitated!
"Then I'll thank Li Lang!"
Aunt Gongsun finally softened her heart. She stretched out her hand that was still as white as jade and said to Li Wen. Then the ecstatic royal king took her lover whom he had been missing day and night and carefully helped her onto the inconspicuous ordinary carriage beside him.
"King."
Seeing that his king was actually going to elope with this aunt Gongsun to Liangzhou, the royal family generals who followed him were shocked, but they were already drunk by Li Feng before they could speak. "Don't bother to persuade someone. Who dares to stop him? Don't blame him for being ruthless under the knife!"
The king was looked at by his own king coldly, and those generals had no courage to come forward. This king was one of the children of the royal family today. Don’t look at the saints often call the king’s nickname Huanu and Huanu, but the king also killed the thieves in Qinghai Lake, and the sword technique was so powerful.
"Lan Niang, let's go!"
Putting down the curtains, Li Wen, who was wearing only a gray robe, turned around and looked at Chang'an City under the setting sun, but said loudly, with indescribable pleasure and freedom in the voice.
...
When the lights were just on, in the Daming Palace, Li Longji looked at the letters left by his coquettish nephew and couldn't help but sigh, "Lan Niang is gone, Hua Nu is gone, so is I not as good as Chen Lang!"
"What did Sanlang say? What's wrong with Guan Chenlang? If it weren't for King Yong, how could Lan Niang leave? The wealth and prosperity of Chang'an City had never retained Lan Niang's heart. It was a Huanu. He was such a good man. Sanlang couldn't make things difficult for him!"
Yang Yuhuan looked at Li Longji who was lost and advised softly on the side that even if the person next to him likes music and music, he would not treat Gongsun, Li Guinian and others equally, and those nobles who went to Chenyuan would not, they just wanted to satisfy their own **.
Only by seeking but not getting, will you become more eager, and the more you desire, the more ugly you become!
Yang Yuhuan was able to understand the thoughts of Mrs. Gongsun. If she hadn't been protected by a saint, she would have been the poor people in Yichunyuan.
"How could I make things difficult for Hua Nu!"
Li Longji shook his head. Among the children of the royal family, Li Feng is the best choice for his appearance, martial arts and talent. The most rare thing is his infatuation and freedom. If the title of the prince is not allowed, he is envious, but he cannot do such a move. When he met someone he liked when he was young, he would only use all means to possess it.
People always yearn for things they cannot do, and even Li Longji could not avoid the vulgarity. So he called Gao Lishi, "Send someone to pass the imperial edict, and the prince of Ruyang will be transferred to Anxi and will be given the title of third class. Without a saint's order, he will not be allowed to return to the court."
"Sanlang, didn't you say you wouldn't make things difficult for Huanu?"
Seeing that Li Longji reduced Li Wen's title and ordered him not to return to Chang'an, Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but frown.
"I can help him and Lan Niang, but he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. He left his title and elopement. If I don't punish him, wouldn't everyone follow me? Besides, my decree may be just in line with his wishes."
Li Longji laughed self-deprecatingly, then comforted Yang Yuhuan beside him and said, "At worst, I will miss him later, so I will send an order to let him come back."
"Your Majesty's wiseness."
Yang Yuhuan's brows spread out, his smile was like a flower, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart. In her opinion, although Chang'an City is good, he cannot be free. If one day Sanlang is willing to give up the throne, how good would it be to be an ordinary couple in the market with her? But this thought was like a glance, fleeting.
The saint couldn't bear to give up this supreme imperial power, and she could not be an ordinary woman in ordinary families. She could only hope for others, thinking how good it would be if she had changed herself.
...
On the third day of the third month, the Longshouyuan Stadium converted into the Daming Palace was already crowded with nobles, civil and military officials in the city, and even the luxurious Hu merchants in the west were finally qualified to enter the Daming Palace to watch the game. These Hu merchants who had accumulated a total of 500,000 bets were full of excitement at the moment, so that when they saw the new prime minister who shouted that he would increase the tax by 50%, they forgot the deep hatred of cutting off people's wealth and killing their parents.
The two semi-finals were divided, and the match between Japan and Goryeo became the finale. Although the match between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs, who were the first to play, played extremely excitingly, this game that was destined to be no good bet did not make everyone watching the game excited. When the whole game ended thirteen to one, the only one who bought the Uighurs could score was shouting crazy. The bet of one to one hundred handicap made him earn 100,000 yuan.
