Chapter 628 The First Emperor's Remnants
The emperor personally conquered Tuyuhun and intimidated the countries in the Western Regions. Such achievements were enough to make the emperor confident in front of the court officials, so he naturally couldn't wait to hold a banquet first.
The clouds turned red. In the dim room, Lu Liangsheng came out from behind the screen, changed into the unicorn cloak, floated towards the bronze mirror, and sorted out his clothes. The scholar smiled and turned his head to look at the toad Taoist who was still lying on the small shop.
"Master, come with me to the palace. This banquet will definitely give you a great treat."
On the edge of the bed, Taoist Toad rubbed his eyes and sat up, nodded in confusion, yawned, walked to the small wardrobe at the end of the bed, turned out a wide-sleeved black robe, tied a belt, kicked his flippers, and jumped out of his apprentice's hand.
"Let's go, let's go, my teacher has had enough sleep and just happened to be out for a walk."
The imperial palace official family was so arrogant that Hong Lian could not get close to him, so he had to lean on the window frame with his chin on his back, watching the young man walking out of the eaves turn around and wave to her and whisper.
"What does it look like in the palace..."
Lu Liangsheng naturally couldn't hear the woman's murmur. After leaving the mountain gate, there was a carriage waiting for him. When he sat inside, the shaft slowly turned, and the body of the car swayed slightly toward the long street.
"Give it! The peddler in front of you please put your bamboo basket!"
The soldiers driving shouted in front of him, and the street was clamoring. He shouted for a while. The peddler walking in front of the carriage then realized and carried the carriage load to the street.
In the stroking curtain of the car, I watched the noisy scholars on the street put down the curtains, put the master in their sleeves away, and looked as if the toad Taoist drooped his eyes, and looked drowsy, and frowned slightly.
"Master is still eating that dream pill recently?"
“I don’t eat it often.”
Taoist Toad yawned, patted the toad's mouth, straightened his two short legs, and his flippers stretched out one by one when their legs were stretched straight.
"...How long will it take to arrive? Let's take a nap for the teacher first, and call me when I arrive."
Lu Liangsheng didn't let him continue to sleep? Not to mention the strange way of taking the elixir, he still wanted to know the dream that Taoist Toad said that day.
He hurriedly reached out and pulled the master's eyelid, causing the toad Taoist to slap his fingers open and his eyes bulged: "What are you doing?! What kind of practice is it to do when you are sleepy as your teacher!"
"Master, I just don't want you to sleep." Lu Liangsheng thought about it, and it would be better to ask directly. He held the master on his leg and asked about the Toad Taoist's dream that day. The latter waved the frog web with some impatientness, "Didn't you tell you last time? That dream is dark and boundless. Many pairs of eyes are shining. Peeping in the dark, it makes me feel embarrassed to see the master."
Lu Liangsheng pursed his lips and remembered what his master said word by word in his heart, and then asked, "Master, do you remember what he was wearing in his dream?"
"I don't remember." The toad Taoist blew the membrane connected to the frog's web.
While speaking, the shaking body of the car slowly stopped, and the voice of a soldier driving outside sounded: "National Master, we are here."
"Master, get off the bus."
Lu Liangsheng put the toad Taoist off his sleeve bag and lifted the curtain. It was already dark in his sight. The warm red lanterns extended along the palace eaves and corridors, climbed the white rock steps, and an eunuch came up diligently. [Literature Museum www.wxguan.info] smiled flatteringly and walked to the side to lead the way.
"National Master, please come here. Your Majesty invites the soldiers who went on this expedition in the Wude Hall. Be careful at your feet..."
The eunuch said a lot of flattering words, walked through the palace eaves and rows of lanterns, and extended to the end. It was a Wude Hall, which was often used to invite Chinese civil and military officials in the court, or to conquer the meritorious generals outside. Before he could pass, the guards guarded at the door quickly straightened their backs. The eunuch on duty on the side quickly retreated to the door of the hall, loudly clamoring.
"The national teacher is here!"
Lu Liangsheng raised his robe and stepped into the hall gate. There were noisy inside. Many drunk generals pulled others to laugh and scold and persuade them to drink. Some of them also picked up their glasses to toast the first emperor. When they heard the high noise of the eunuchs outside the door, they stopped and bowed to Lu Liangsheng who was entering the door.
He said in unison: "Meet the National Master!"
Generals leading other fronts more or less heard about the war in Dadou Bagu. In the past, when they fought with the three kingdoms in the palace and sent the late emperor to the underworld, they dared not be negligent and had a good relationship with the national teacher. If they leave one day in the future, they would not be able to treat the late emperor like the late emperor. They would say goodbye to their family, joke with relatives and friends, and leave happily, which would be a perfection.
Lu Liangsheng shook his wide sleeves and bowed and turned around. When he saw Qu Yuanfeng in the crowd, he smiled at him and signaled that he would not have to come over to see the ceremony. He then walked to the front of the golden stairs and bowed.
"I have seen Your Majesty."
"National Master, there is no need to be too polite." Yang Guang's face turned red and he came out of the dragon case with alcohol. He walked down the imperial stairs and helped Lu Liangsheng with his own hands. "The banquet is open first. I haven't waited for the national master. Don't blame me."
Lu Liangsheng chuckled twice. He naturally would not care about these subtle points. He exchanged a few greetings with the emperor and was invited to the side of the golden stairs to sit down. The palace maids served food and poured wine. His eyes swept across the huge palace and did not see the old man.
"Your Majesty, did Duke Yue come?"
Behind the Dragon Case, Yang Guang, who was signaling to the future, stopped the wine glass on his lips, his face darkened, and he whispered: "I have sent someone to invite him, but I have not entered the palace at this time. I think I don't want to celebrate with me and my generals."
Perhaps he was angry, Yang Guang didn't want to say more about it. Seeing the civil and military officials in the hall stunned, he swept away his previous low, and laughed, "Stop drinking, and then make trouble!"
Then, he brought the drinks and walked over there, got into a group with the generous generals, and talked about some interesting things in the Northwest War, and even more laughing.
During the meal, there was a warm atmosphere. Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting there, could not help but come and get close to the officials. During this period, Qu Yuanfeng also came over and drank a few drinks with his master. He was sent back by the scholar to toast with everyone.
"It's different from the past. In the future, you have to walk with Your Majesty more and other officials. You can't be as arrogant as the Taoist practitioners there. The battle to defeat the valley is the last time my teacher can help you. You have to walk the road ahead yourself."
"Disciple notes!"
"Work with them!"
Seeing Qu Yuanfeng turning around and walking over there, Lu Liangsheng sighed, picked up a bite of the dish and chewed it slowly, and occasionally picked up a piece and stretched it into his sleeve to shake it a few times. The toad Taoist poked out his long tongue and rolled it into his mouth and slowly grinded it. The toad eyes as big as beans looked at the palace outside the cuff, and a hint of redness appeared in the bottom of his eyes.
Not long after, the banquet dispersed, and the generals in the army who had been making a fuss for a night said goodbye to the emperor in groups of three or three. Lu Liangsheng also bowed to them and was about to walk out of the Golden Palace. Yang Guang was also drunk and staggered and held the stone sculpture on the stone railing. He looked at the Wenwu who was leaving and said with a smile: "Sir, look at them, are you different from before when I saw me?"
Lu Liangsheng, who was standing next to him, was poured out all the words he said, but he didn't know whether he had been holding them in his heart.
"Sir... I didn't disappoint you... I didn't disappoint my father either... Today's achievements, I can finally stand up straight and speak... Finally, there is no need to worry about those ministers... those subjects said behind my back that I was sitting on this treasure on my brother's shoulders..."
Lu Liangsheng sighed. He knew that the emperor in front of him ascended the throne, the burden on his shoulders, and the rare hero in Yang Jian, as his son, Yang Guang faced the pressure and the rumors he ascended to the throne after abolishing Yang Yong. He did not dare to reveal the rumors that the emperor had any grudges in his heart.
"Mr. Lu... do you think...and that Yang Su is still dependent on her seniority, and see how I deal with him in the future...and also see him scolding me in front of me, treating me as a child..."
Lu Liangsheng supported Yang Guang who was stumbled, attracting two eunuchs who dared not come forward, "Your Majesty is drunk, take him to rest in the bedroom."
"Yes, the national teacher."
The two eunuchs rushed forward and carefully supported the emperor one by one. When they walked to the palace gate, Yang Guang struggled a few times and turned around and shouted, "I... are not afraid anymore! In the future, I will make drastic moves... and no one can stop me--"
After shouting a few times, the eunuch helped him into the palace gate. Lu Liangsheng swept his body and smelled alcohol. He walked straight to the square when he came, and took a carriage to the direction of the palace gate.
"Master, are you satisfied with the banquet in the palace today?"
In the shaking carriage, Lu Liangsheng poured a cup of tea to relieve the smell of wine. After a while, no sound came out of his sleeve, nor did he hear the master's snoring. He reached out and touched his broad sleeve. It was empty inside, and there was no body of a toad Taoist.
"Is the master still in the palace?"
............
Wude Hall.
The drunken emperor broke away from the two eunuchs who were supporting him, and with his wine-red face, he no longer had the drunken look he had before. He waved his dragon sleeves and sent the people around him out.
Sitting alone to the dragon chaise, holding up the wine glass on the table, the corners of his mouth opened, and a chuckling gradually increased, and laughing loudly.
"Sweep away Tuyuhun...The next one is you, Duke of Yue Yang Su, no one can stop me. Emperor Shin-Emperor built the Great Wall, blocked the Huns, I built the Grand Canal, benefit the people of the world, and could still achieve success for thousands of years... Leave a name forever!"
Outside the hall, the lanterns swayed creakingly, and the moonlight dragged the hall master's shadow slowly stretched on the ground. While the emperor behind the dragon table picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth, a sound suddenly sounded in the empty hall.
"You want to learn from me? I want to be the emperor of all ages..."
who?!
Yang Guang's cup hovered at the edge of his mouth, woke up suddenly with a sound, and stood up and looked around. The dishes were in a mess during the meal, and the lamp posts in the hall were lit with flames shaking in the wind.
The sound was still echoing for a long time.
"You want to learn from me and want to be the emperor of all ages, then have you ever asked me if I..."
"Who are you?!"
Yang Guang smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground and shouted loudly to the palace guards, but no one responded. With a clang, he pulled out the long sword placed on the sword stand, stumbled into the hall and looked around, shouting sternly: "Who is coming out!"
"who?"
The voice laughed and resounded between the palaces.
