Chapter 957 (1/2)
Pass the Danfeng gate, walk along the imperial Road, climb up the steps, climb the Hanyuan hall, look back and see the whole city.
With thousands of lights, Chang'an is as prosperous as a dream at night.
Officials of the Tang Dynasty stood on both sides of the royal road of Hanyuan hall, with civil officials on the left and military officials on the right. Hundreds of people extended from the door of the hall to the square platform where the Dragon chairs were placed. The scene was quite spectacular.
The emperor is in the middle, sitting on the Dragon chair, Dragon Robe and crown. He is a real big man in formal clothes.
When Ning Tao walked into the gate of Hanyuan hall with the hand of looking for immortals at the south gate, all civil and military officials bowed with their hands together under the sound of the eunuch on duty. Even Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty got up from the Dragon chair and walked down. He stood at the end of the imperial road and bowed deeply to Ning Tao and the couple looking for immortals at the south gate.
Fortunately, I didn't kneel down.
Or it'll be embarrassing.
After all, this is the Tang Dynasty, and the official is also Tang Xuanzong. He is a famous wise king in Chinese history.
The Chinese have a complex of worshipping their ancestors. I'm afraid the big man in formal clothes has more fans than any traffic star. Although Ning Tao is not a fan, he respects the eternal emperor in his heart. Therefore, when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty bowed to him, he immediately bowed and saluted back.
Looking for immortals in the south gate stood beside Ning Tao and made a ten thousand blessing ceremony.
Tang Xuanzong politely said, ”please take your seat, immortal.”
Ning Tao said politely, ”thank you, your majesty.”
Then he took the hand of the South Gate immortal to the square platform.
There are two tables on the square table. One is from Tang Xuanzong and the other is from Ning Tao. The two tables are placed in parallel, regardless of height. This is the highest standard of courtesy. Given the world status of the Tang Dynasty in this historical period, I'm afraid that the monarchs of the Arab Empire in the same period can only install a table under the square stage, which is not qualified to be on an equal footing with Tang Xuanzong.
Everyone's attention focused on Ning Tao and Nanmen looking for immortals, especially those looking for immortals at Nanmen. Each one looked a little ugly, and several old ministers were still trying to stop talking.
In ancient times, women could not eat at the same table as men. Even couples can't eat at the same table before their children are seven years old, let alone eat with Tang Xuanzong?
Those old ministers who wanted to stop talking obviously wanted to remind Ning Tao that he could not take the south gate to find an immortal and sit with Tang Zixian, but they feared the identity of the great immortal for fear of offending the great immortal. After all, Wu? Millions of troops have not gone far. In case of a comeback, we have to rely on the help of the immortal to resolve the crisis of Chang'an.
Tang Xuanzong was also embarrassed, but he didn't say it.
Ning Tao felt the change in the atmosphere in Kaiyuan hall. He smiled and said, ”let me introduce you. This is my mother. I am one with her. I don't talk about secular etiquette. I always eat at the same table and sleep in the same bed. I love her very much. I don't want to separate for a moment. Please forgive me.”
No one said a word.
Ning Tao doesn't want to eat anymore, these circuitous teachers.
But he understood these people. They regarded rules and etiquette as more important than life. How could he change their deep-rooted concepts and customs with a simple and casual sentence?
”Ning Lang, I'll go to the harem to see empress Mei Fei. I'm here tonight to say goodbye to her.” Looking for immortals in the South Gate said in Ning Tao's ear.
Ning Tao said, ”well, go find Mei Fei first. I'll come to you later.”
Looking for an immortal in the South Gate nodded his head, gave a ten thousand blessing gift to Tang Xuanzong, and left alone.
Tang Xuanzong said, ”immortal, please take your seat.”
Ning Tao said politely, ”thank you, your majesty.”
He took his seat.
The eunuch on duty shouted, ”have a banquet”
Civil and military officials stepped back and knelt behind the tables placed on both sides of the imperial road.
A group of Kabuki came into the hall and danced to the music.
These Kabuki are young women, not only from the Central Plains, but also from the western regions. They have blond hair, blue eyes, big waves and long legs. They are very pleasing to the eye. What's more exaggerated is that they are only wearing gauze. Under the light, they have a special sense of transparency. The secret scenery is looming, tempting reverie and tempting.
Datang is so open.
Li Baidu once PI á o.ji. He was not ashamed, but proud. That song ”chanting of the East Mountain” was played with Ji in the upper reaches of the mountain.
Carrying Ji Dongtu mountain, I feel sad and thankful for Ann. I Ji am like a flower and a moon today. He Ji has ancient tombs and barren grass. At the age of 300 after the white chicken dream, sprinkle wine on you and enjoy it with you. The sound comes from Qinghai dance, and the autumn wind blows down the purple crown. That is also a moment, this is also a moment, why should we be surprised by the chant of the vast torrent.
I don't know what he and that Ji did on that mountain.
Poetry immortals are like this, not to mention these mortals?
”Immortal, I'll give you that woman if you like.” Tang Xuanzong smiled and said that he didn't use the word ”gift”, but still kept a low attitude.
No way. He wants to make a high profile, but his strength doesn't allow it.
Ning Tao smiled calmly: ”thank you, sir, but my wife is the only one in my heart.”
”Immortal...” Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty stopped talking and looked melancholy.
Ning Tao smiled and said, ”I know your majesty is worried about the army outside the city. It doesn't matter. I'll talk to their king tomorrow morning and let them leave.”
”Are they willing to leave?”
”If you don't want to, you have to, or I'll kill them.” Ning Tao said, the clouds are light and the wind is light.
Tang Xuanzong raised the wine lamp and raised his eyebrow: ”to the immortal!”
There was an echoing voice in the hall: ”to the immortal!”
Ning Tao picked up the wine and said, ”I'll do it. Feel free.”
He drank it all in one gulp.
The wine is muddy and low alcohol.
There was a stagnant atmosphere in the hall.
I'll do it. You're free.
