18. The Lord of the Three Drums

A few days later, the three yamen of the Daming Palace in Longshou Mountain: Hanyuan Hall, Xuanzheng Hall, and Zichen Hall rose up in turn along the mountain and went straight into the sky. In the inner courtyard of Zichen Hall, Li Yu was sitting on the couch, watching the dance the King of Han gave him.

The musicians in the Jiaofang each held a zither, lying qin, vertical qin, sheng, flute, pipa, large and large zithers, horizontal flute, waist drum, etc. Amid a melodious music, the King of Han combed his head with a fake bun, inserted a jade hairpin, wore a purple silk coat, and put on black leather boots. The colorful sleeves danced like flowing light. "It's a Khotan dance music!" Li Yu said with a smile, and then clapped his palms and clapped his hands together with the King of Han's dance music.

At this time, the King of Han's dance steps were getting faster and faster with the sound of the pipa and waist drum. The blanket and wool under his boots began to soar under this high-speed rotation, shining brightly in the sunlight, surrounding his body. In a trance, Li Yu looked at the King of Han's rapid passing eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth, as if he had seen Dugu's passing family who had passed away. The Dugu was also good at singing and dancing. She often danced for him alone in the inner hall. The low place was like a lotus waving, and the urgent place was like wind and snow...

As he thought about it, Li Yu's tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes, but at this time he heard the crying next to him - Huo Zhongyi, the ten-monarch lord who was accompanying King Han, came to the service, "Why are you crying?" Li Yu asked slowly.

"I just saw King Han Wu, and I couldn't help but think of Empress Zhenyi's charm when she was alive." Huo Zhongyi sobbed and knelt down and said.

When Li Yu heard this, he was also sad, "I am the same, so I am always reluctant to let her hide under the loess."

Just as Huo Zhongyi took the opportunity to say something, several eunuchs rushed over and reported to the emperor: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is asking for your meeting."

Huh? Huo Zhongyi immediately restrained his tears and his ears shook.

"Oh, the prince actually wants to see me." Li Yu pondered for a while, then looked at King Han who was still dancing, Huo Zhongyi who was still lying on the ground, then stood up tremblingly, and with the help of the eunuchs, he followed the pavilion to the central hall of the inner hall.

At this time, the music in the yard stopped abruptly. King Han stopped, covered in sweat, and spent the powder applied on his face. He looked at Huo Zhongyi without any hesitation. Huo just winked at him and signaled not to act rashly.

Under the middle hall, Li Shi sat on the table. When he saw the emperor, he bowed down and asked for his health.

"What, do you want to adopt Prince Zhaojing's son?" Li Yu was slightly surprised when he heard the purpose of the prince.

Prince Zhaojing was Li Miao, the King of Zheng who died five years ago. He left behind a son named Li Mo, who was always kept by the emperor.

"Yes, Mo'er has been losing his father for five years. Now he is the age to be able to study and understand. Your Majesty is tall and high in spring and autumn, so I hope to adopt Mo'er to continue the Yuanliang of Prince Zhaojing." As Li Shi said, as if he had thought of the feelings between his former brothers, he couldn't help but cry.

However, only he knew in his heart that this "indirect" trick was something that Xiao Yi had asked Gao Yue and offered to him again. After understanding this wonderful plan, Li Shi was overjoyed and showed no expression. When he found out that King Han entered the Zichen Palace to perform a dance, he immediately took action and made this request.

Prince Zhaojing, also known as the King of Zheng Li Miao, who was his father's favorite son and Li Shi's biggest enemy, but now he is dead. Li Shi, who was originally celebrating, had never thought before Gao Yue woke up that the enemy's son could also be used by him!

Li Yu suddenly felt warm in his heart, "Five years after Prince Zhaojing passed away, you are the first to ask for adoption... I am indeed old and I can't take care of Guan Mo'er. Can I rest assured to leave it to you?"

Li Shi immediately burst into tears, walked to the emperor's boots, raised his head and said, "I will definitely regard Mo'er as my own."

The emperor nodded, then stretched out his hand, covered the prince's palm, and whispered: "The father is kind and filial, the brother is friendly and brother is kind. Only in this way can my family be stable and not easy. Mo'er is given to you, and it should be yours. I will give it to you sooner or later, don't worry!"

At this time, Li Shi said, "Actually, I have something else to ask for your Majesty Tianyan this day."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"According to what Your Majesty said in the Ziyun Tower this day, I would like to issue an order to the Yuanqing Lihui Academy to marry Tang An in this year's case, Jixian Zheng's name is Gao Yue."

"Gao Yue, why?"

"I heard that Cui Sheren went to mobilize the family to review, but many high-ranking families in the court were in conflict with His Majesty. You might as well let Tang An marry Gao Yue and set an example, and then he could promote Gao Yue to the crown prince Zhongyun. If Gao Yue was able to be promoted from the ninth rank to the fifth rank, then there would naturally be no one else to disturb him."

This made Emperor Daizong nodded. Nowadays, he was really the "emperor's daughter" and the "prince's daughter" were worried about marrying! This senior high school drum was born in Bohai, and was also a rookie Jinshi, and was famous as a talented man. Princess Tang'an married him as a wife. Li Yu really felt at ease. In addition, the Tang Dynasty's convention was that husbands who became princesses were usually awarded the fourth rank (mostly the young supervisors in the palace and the young supervisors in the secretary), the princess was the fifth rank (later the fourth rank Beijing official of the procuratorate), and the county rank was the sixth rank (for example, Xue Yuanchao, who regretted not being able to marry a woman from the fifth surname, married the daughter of Li Yuanji, the county rank of Jing, the daughter of Prince Chaola Li Yuanji and the county rank of Jing, and was promoted to the sixth rank of prince's servant). It was normal for Gao Yue to get the prince's son to be the third rank of the senior high school drum, but "I still want to use him in this senior high school drum. If I were directly in a position of rich and idle position, wouldn't it be a pity for this young man?"

On this side, Li Shi continued to play himself: "Now he is handsome and domineering, and the tomb priest is not very reliable. Who else can he use without the royal relatives? It is precisely because Gao Yue is talented. If he is allowed to support Tang An, as long as His Majesty agrees, he will never be able to become a general or a prime minister in the future, and he may not be able to hold a free position."

Li Yu also agreed with this, thinking in his heart, "You aristocratic families all disobey my marriage, that's good. I can still let the senior high school drum enter the East Pavilion of the Taiwan Province, and the Fang Yuejie is the leader when he leaves. In addition, the senior high school drum is a lonely and cold person, and I can feel at ease when using it."

Finally, Li Yu said, "Okay, I will immediately ask the Sherenyuan to go to the Sinong Temple!"

When Cui Youfu, who was in charge of the imperial edicts, was stunned when he saw the imperial letter, and a huge question mark suddenly flew in his heart:

"What, Your Majesty wants Gao Yue to Shang Princess Tang'an? But didn't Gao Yue and the fifth youngest lady of the Cui Ning family in Xichuan pass each other's marriage letter? What should I do!"

He hurried to the yard of the Sherenyuan and saw that the door between the Hezhengshi Hall was blocked by Chang Gun with soil. He thought that it was fortunate that Chang Gun did this, otherwise if he had let him know, he would be gloating. He immediately ordered the Secretary of the Central Committee to pass the matter and the deputy signing went up to let Gao Yue "receive a ceremony" with Princess Tang'an immediately!

Because Gao Yue was a very good young man, as long as he was given a marriage, it would be better to "marry" the princess than to marry the princess. After marriage, he would definitely become an appendix of the royal family. After that, he would just live a life of life. In addition, it is difficult to talk about harmony between husband and wife - the princess of the Tang Dynasty was either bold or arrogant.

So Cui Youfu quickly drafted a Taoist edict according to the emperor's imperial letter, and then directly bypassed the Prime Minister's Political Affairs Hall and sent it to the Junxia Provincial Government for deliberation, but secretly connected with Junxia Provincial Government.
