Chapter 11 Marriage on
At night, the red moon and stars appear in the sky forever. The Buddhas at night are silent and quiet because the night of the strict night ban in the Buddha country. However, tonight's imperial garden is not calm. The emperor of Buddhism invited officials and family of the Song Dynasty mission to the honor of being invited.
At this time, the emperor and the empress dowager are already at the top of the top in the imperial garden. On the left, the seventh princes of the Song Dynasty and the accompanying officials are in turn, and on the right are the chief ministers of the Buddhist country, and then the officials from the third grade.
The family members are entertained by the queen in the pavilion not far from the other side of the royal garden, which is the children of the royal family in addition to the officials.
"Today, we only talk about the wind and the moon, not the affairs of the court," the emperor of the Buddha said, looking at the scene in the imperial garden.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said no words. The seventh prince still sat there with the unique elegant atmosphere of the Song Dynasty. As an envoy, she represented not only herself or the Song Dynasty on any occasion. Especially as the prince of the Song Dynasty, she could not be rude to other countries.
In the imperial garden, the emperor talked to the seventh prince, which had nothing to do with the court affairs, but only talked about the wind and the moon, while the empress dowager asked the recent situation of the prime minister and the general with a smile. On the other side of the pavilion, the family members of the government and the children of the royal family pointed out that the seventh prince of the Song Dynasty were all about the elegance and appearance of the seventh prince.
Although the conversation between the Buddha emperor and the seven princes of the Song Dynasty was not loud, the officials sitting in the front row still heard clearly. The words of the Buddha emperor did not lose the spirit of the Buddha monarch, and the words of the seven princes showed the elegance of the Song Dynasty.
The Empress Dowager looked at the Buddha Emperor's eyes and appreciated that although he was not her own parent-child, the growth of the Buddha Emperor was very satisfactory. Perhaps the battle between the emperor and the emperor had turned into jade and silk after the difficulties of the Buddha Kingdom.
In the pavilion, the eldest princess of the royal family and some members of the government are pointing out the seventh prince and the emperor of the Buddha. It is a great honor for them to enter the palace, of course, although there is a good impression on the seven princes of the Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness," a minister got up and said.
The emperor of the Buddha Kingdom looked at the literary minister who got up and said, "It's okay for Jiang Aiqing to say, but I have something to say that tonight I will only talk about the wind and the moon and not the court affairs"
The minister of Jiang Shiwen replied, "Your Majesty, I want to say that the Song Dynasty wants to invite the seventh prince to talk to the literati of our country with Confucianism"
Your Majesty was stunned and then said to the seventh prince slightly, "I don't know what the seventh prince is doing"
After listening to the question of the emperor of the Buddha, although he thought strangely, he did not deny it, but nodded and agreed.
"Well, if our literati win, I will be rewarded," the emperor of the Buddha said with a smile.
The Empress Dowager did not deny this poem, because things in the court had already spread as soon as possible. Before the dinner, the Empress Dowager discussed with the emperor that she must kill the spirit of the Song envoy.
"Then I'll come first," a young man answered.
The seventh princes don't know each other, but the emperor of the Buddha and the empress dowager know that it is the eldest son of the prime minister Zhang Peng, and he has the title of Mr.
"I went north to the gate of the army, and I saw the green forest. Relying on the sword to the wind and dust, Zhang Peng's eldest son got up and said, and heard countless officials clapping their hands.
In the eyes of the emperor of the Buddha and the empress dowager, there are even more praise in the poems that the ideals of the Buddha country and the famous generals of the Buddha country in those years. Naturally, it goes without saying that Liang Wei is the amazing general of the Buddha country in the middle of China.
"How do you feel about the seventh prince?" Zhang Peng's eldest son asked, his tone was full of arrogance.
The seventh prince smiled and then saluted the emperor of the Buddha and said softly, "A hundred years of the Central Plains, fearless of the world, the heroes reject foreign enemies, peerless generals and Confucianism"
After saying that, the seventh prince smiled and continued, "Your Majesty, you have made a fool of yourself."
A poem silences the officials of the Buddha and the empress dowager of the Song Dynasty make the officials of the Song Dynasty envoys smile, and the tone of the seventh prince is just plain as if the meaning of this poem is only Song Qiang should be.
It is true that the Song Dynasty has existed for only 500 years, but over the past 500 years, it has stabilized the Central Plains and resisted the three major forces in the world, and there have been countless famous generals and great scholars.
The royal princess and the officials in the pavilion were also shocked by this poem. Among them, the only eldest princess of the Buddha sat next to the queen and looked at the seventh prince with strange eyes through the curtain.
The queen naturally noticed that the eldest princess's eyes just smiled and didn't say anything.
In the following time, the children of countless officials of the Buddha country wrote poems to praise the Buddha country, and the seventh prince was just a plain poem. The poems that seemed to only talk about the wind and the moon were at this time.
"It's not a loss for the prince of the Song Dynasty, both literary talent and unparalleled in the world," the Empress Dowager whispered a long time later, because she was obviously at a disadvantage to the children of officials in the poem.
"The Queen Mother is right," the emperor of the Buddha said with a smile, but his face was a little cold.
The seventh prince is still so plain, as if it was just an ordinary poetry comparison and said, "Thank you for your praise and the empress dowager"
At the end of the banquet in the imperial garden, the officials and his family left the palace under the leadership of the chamberlain, and the seventh prince, the seventh prince, the prime minister, Zhang Peng, personally accompanied him back to the post hall.
As soon as he arrived at the post hall, the seventh prince, who was still washing up, was disturbed by a monk from the clan palace. After saluting, the monk of the clan mansion took out a letter and gave it to the seventh prince.
After the seventh prince took the letter paper and saw the mark on it, his face changed and asked, "It can be known by others"
The trainee replied "No"
"Well, you retreat first." The seventh prince waved to let the monk leave and look at the letter paper with the Supervision Institute in his hand.
The seventh prince sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea and looked at the believer with a solemn face. The envelope of the Supervisory House has never been good. This is what all the princes and officials of the Song royal family know. After taking a deep breath, the seventh prince tore open the envelope.
The content of the letter is very simple, only a few sentences "Shajin, Gorge Road, Marriage, Taoist Gate"
The first two are very simple for the seventh princes. This mission is to ask the Buddha to give the metal sand gold of the specialties of the Western Desert of the Song Dynasty, and the gorge road is the only passage connecting the Western Desert and the Central Plains, which does not allow the Buddha to station more than 10,000 troops. However, the seven princes of the marriage later do not understand, but the meaning of the Taoist gate is indeed known.
The seventh prince took a deep breath and thought about what was going on with the marriage. After a moment, the seventh prince's face became more and more gloomy because he understood.
"This time, Buddhism must lose his wife and soldiers." After saying that, the seventh prince left the room.
In the Buddha's palace, the empress dowager's hall is brightly lit. In the hall, the Buddha's emperor, the empress dowager and the eldest princess, but the eldest princess's face turned red under the lights. The eldest princess is not the parent-child of the empress dowager, but more than the parent-child of the empress dowager. There are five princes in the Buddha Kingdom, but there is only one princess, so the eldest princess is spoiled in all kinds of ways.
"Xin'er, if you don't agree, forget it." The Empress Dowager looked at the eldest princess kindly and said.
The eldest princess Li Xin did not nod or deny it, but her face was still red and she didn't know what was thinking. Maybe she was still hovering in her mind about the seventh prince at the dinner party.
The emperor of the Buddha Kingdom looked at the blushing eldest princess and smiled and said no words. The marriage with the Song Dynasty proposed by the emperor and the empress dowager was also a bargaining chip in this peace talks.
"Mother, I think Xin'er has agreed," the emperor of the Buddha said with a smile.
Li Xin listened and then looked at her emperor's brother's face as red as an apple. The empress dowager and the emperor smiled and said no words.
....
The red moon shrouded the earth at the main gate of the Buddha's capital and dyed the western desert into a red. The soldiers on the walls of the Buddha's capital did not pay attention to the people in the darkness.
I'm not very good at copying the poem in this article. I'm not in a good state these days, so the article is a little bad.
