The moon goes from the stern to the half-month, and then to the full moon. As everyone's expiration, the Mid-Autumn Festival day finally arrived in August.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in August follows the old Chinese law. The ban and palace ban were opened as early as the evening of the 14th. In order to meet the common celebrations of the whole sky, the sky also came to make fun of this annual festival. The continuous drizzle that lasted for more than ten days ended abruptly on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the next day, it was rare to clear the sun. The warm sun completely dispelled the dark clouds in the sky. When the sun sets, the sky was clear and clear, and it looked like a clear and refreshing autumn.

The sun sets, and with the arrival of the night, a full moon rises from the west. When the moon rises, Chang'an City is also lively. It's okay for adults, but the children can't stand the loneliness and rush onto the streets to laugh and make noises, and occasionally they can hear the sound of firecrackers.

"Jiao'er, it's time to leave!" As the full moon started, Tang Li of the Principal Mansion had already cleaned up. As he shouted, Li Tengjiao, dressed in fifth-grade imperial costumes and dressed in a rich manner, walked out of the house with a sweet smile, and then walked out with his arm in his arms.

Tonight, the emperor had a banquet for the ministers to enjoy the full Mid-Autumn Festival moon. Tang Li, who had been dismissed for half a year, was also here. Although he had lost his actual position at this time, he was still the fifth-rank marquis, so he still wore official clothes. Because this banquet was to enjoy the king and his ministers and show peace, he specially ordered his family to accompany him, which led to Li Tengjiao's outfit.

I can't live such a happy day with my family, and I feel a little guilty when I have fun together, but this opportunity tonight is extremely important to him, so he didn't have too much lingering. After saying goodbye to Zheng Lianqing and others, and told them to be free and happy, he got into the car with Li Tengjiao and went to the palace city.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is the most important thing, family reunion and enjoying the moon, so the streets are not congested except for having fun and more children. After passing the streets, the car went straight to Zhuque Street and headed north towards Zhuque Gate, the imperial city.

Since getting on the car, Tang Li gently stroked Li Tengjiao's hand holding between his arms and fell into deep thought, "Ali, look." He was awakened until a cheer came from his side.

Tang Li looked along the raised curtain and saw that the locust trees not far ahead were hung with various lanterns. Under the lamp, some women in gorgeous dresses were dancing on the festival. At this time, they were dancing the group dance [Chao Tianzi] compiled by Tang Li's teacher in the palace that day. This group dance, derived from the "Sleeve Dance", was simple and the rhythm was bright, and it was most suitable for many people to dance together.

Since there are women dancing in groups, those carefully dressed teenagers are indispensable on the street next to them. When Zhuque Street is traveling to this period, it seems particularly lively.

The neat rhythm was getting closer and closer. Through the curtain, he watched the young girls dancing in the prime of the lanterns and heard the sound of the young people. Facing such a typical scene of peace and prosperity, Tang Li didn't feel any joy, but instead the excitement in front of him was full of excitement. The invisible depression in his heart became more and more heavy, and inexplicably the scene of blood flowing into a river on the city of Lingzhou that day appeared in front of him.

"Ali, this is the dance you ordered! Unfortunately, wearing this dress, or I really want to get out of the car and dance." Looking at the excitement below, Li Tengjiao said with regret. However, she didn't look back and then giggled again: "Ali, I still remember the last time we came to dance the sleek dance, I reached out to pull your daughter's house so many!"

After saying so much but not hearing the response, Li Tengjiao turned around and saw Tang Li's face gloomy. He hurriedly pushed him gently and said, "A Li, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh! Nothing!" Tang Li's smile was very forced.

"Since Your Majesty is allowed to participate in the banquet today, the sisters all think that Ali, you are going to be re-official." Li Tengjiao, who snuggled up softly, shook his arms gently and said, "Ali, aren't you the most tired of being a restraint? Stay in your family living a leisurely and casual life. If so, you can't be an official and what's the point! You must not be worried about this matter!"

Listening to the gentle words of comfort, Tang Li remembered the words he said to Li Tengjiao on the carriage when he quit his prime minister's mansion that day, and felt like he was a different life. He ignored those major affairs of the country and was an idle official position, and kept his family drinking and tea every day. This simple and leisurely life has always been his ideal life state, and he did the same for a time.

Even though he once took the initiative to participate in political affairs due to the deaths of An Lushan and Li Linfu, this kind of participation was more of a purpose in the early days to protect himself, for the safety of one family. Even for the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Li's previous idea was to stop it. If it could not be stopped, or if the Xuanzong avoided Western Shu, or moved his family to Jiangnan, he could escape the disaster of war and protect the safety of the family.

It can be said that his trip to Lingzhou completely changed Tang Li's idea. When he was trapped in the warehouse? Looking at the Tang Dynasty outside the window, when he drew his sword and rushed to the head of Lingzhou City with anger, when he and the people of Lingzhou tried their best to defend the city and faced death directly, his previous ideas naturally changed. At that moment, he completely integrated with this dynasty. Deep in his heart, he no longer regarded himself as a tourist who came for accidental reasons. He was no longer a time traveler, but a Tang Dynasty as real as the people of Lingzhou.

It was in Lingzhou that the word "Tang" had a new meaning for Tang Li. Now he still yearned for a relaxed and leisurely life, but he had a sense of responsibility for the Tang Dynasty because of his integration. Unlike before, he only considered one family. At this time, he could not watch the Tang Dynasty decline, and then decline from prosperity, and suffered bloody attacks. The object of this sense of responsibility was not the Li Tang royal family, nor even the court. It was simply the Tang Dynasty, the extremely glorious Tang Dynasty in Kaiyuan Tianbao. It was this sense of responsibility that drove Tang Li to do his best to successfully survive the Anshi Rebellion, although he knew that everything he did might be futile.

"Jiao'er said! It's nothing if you don't become an official!" Tang Li stroked Li Tengjiao's hand and said with a faint smile. The small window was drunk and ink, and Wenxin Pavilion.

As he turned his head, Tang Li smiled on his face, turned his head and smiled sweetly, no longer watching the excitement outside, he snuggled in Tang Li's arms and heard the carriage rippling towards the Vermilion Bird Gate.

The place where Your Majesty's banquet for the ministers tonight is still chosen at Chengtian City Tower. The purpose of this arrangement is to show the joy of the people, and the other hand, because the Chengtian City Tower is towering and the surroundings are empty, it is more suitable to enjoy the moon.

After getting off the car at Zhuque Gate, Tang Li and Li Tengjiao walked into the imperial city and Xiangchengtian Tower.

Not far from the beginning of the banquet. At this time, there were already many officials carrying their families inside and outside the Zhuque Gate. Tang Li and the other two immediately became the focus of attention as soon as they appeared.

After being dismissed from office for more than half a year, Tang Li lived in seclusion and, as his former favorite minister, had slowly faded out of the imperial city. He also faded out of the vision of officials such as the imperial city. According to the words in the edict that day, many people believed in their hearts that the top scholar would definitely not have the chance to turn things around.

It is precisely for this reason that when Tang Li suddenly appeared here, all the officials were surprised. After watching the two for a while, a quick-witted official came to see him. For these old fried dough sticks who have been scattered in the imperial city for many years, Tang Li, who has been losing power for a long time, appeared here tonight. This phenomenon itself is the most obvious signal. Don’t think about it, the first reaction of these people is that Tang Li is about to turn over.

With the first one, there is a second one, and then a group of people came forward to greet him. These officials were not stupid, and no one wanted to show his goodwill to Tang Li before he could resume his post.

"Looking at the appearance of these people, you will know that being an official is really meaningless!" Li Tengjiao's voice came from a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Tang Li, who was bowing back to the officials, whispered: "No one knows the poor and the downtown area, and the wealthy are in the deep mountains. What's more, the officialdom is even more so. What's so strange about the world and human nature!"

Tang Li, who had been greeted, always bowed back to the gift and did not thank him. He spent nearly three incense sticks when he walked to Chengtian Gate. At this time, the banquet was about to begin.

After going up the city tower, the palace servants led the way to their seats. However, the banquet did not separate the men and women, but adopted a double-team system, that is, the officials and families who came to the banquet were in the same seat as the same as the moon.

The officials who arrived first on the city tower were surprised to see that it was Tang Li. Tang Li didn't care about this, so he led Li Tengjiao to his seat with the palace servant.

"Master!" The two of them had just sat down and heard a slightly childish voice. Tang Li didn't have to look back and knew it was King Liang Li Rui.

Li Rui learned from Tang Li. Although he went to Tang Li's mansion during the day, he still returned to the Wang's house to sleep at night. He came to attend this banquet tonight, which was from the Sixteen Wang's house.

"I had known that you were coming, Master, I wouldn't have to go back to the Sixteenth House in the afternoon." After saluting Tang Li and the other two, Li Rui smiled and said, "It's so lively tonight, but unfortunately Fat Ball can't come!"

"It's not your master who is restrained, and I don't know what he will be like to have fun tonight. Rui'er, you think it's a pity. Peng'er may not be willing to come." Li Tengjiao's words made the three of them laugh. Seeing that everyone was almost there, Tang Li ordered Li Rui to return to the seat by himself.

Watching Li Rui leave, Tang Li turned around and saw an official with joy not far from the right side of his body, about to get up and walk towards him. While smiling and greeting, he bit his head gently.

The official saw Tang Li shook his head, smiled and nodded as a greeting, and then sat down again. Seeing that he was like this, some officials around who had originally intended to step forward could not sit up.

"Ali, who is he?" Seeing this scene, Li Tengjiao asked curiously.

"Cui Nan, the head and guest officer of the Ministry of Rites, is from Boling! During the Spring Festival, Jiao'er, you even sent someone to his house to send red ginseng."

"Oh! Boling Cui!" As soon as Li Tengjiao said this, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of whip entering the palace, and then the Danbi music was played under the Chengtianmen Tower. In the graceful music, Xuanzong and the imperial concubine, dressed in bright yellow and rolling dragon clothes, walked up to the city tower.

Xuanzong was in a very good mood today. After sitting down in front of the imperial case facing north and south, he waved casually and said, "All the Lords!"

After another long time of long live the mountain, Tang Li and others got up and sat down. Then they saw Xuanzong laugh casually and said, "If you talk about watching the moon, winter will be full of frost and cold, summer will be steaming and hot clouds. Clouds cover the moon and frost will invade people. They will inevitably damage the good intentions of watching the moon. Only tonight will the cold and heat are equal, and the toads and rabbits are round, and it is time to appreciate the moon. Today, I will have fun with all the ministers and ministers, but I will be happy at will without restraint. This will not let my original intention down, nor will it be in vain for a full moon." After saying these opening remarks with a smile, the banquet officially began as he raised his bottle to drink.

When he was holding a bottle and drinking, Tang Li's eyes suddenly met Yang Fei's rippling eyes. At this time, there was lovesickness and deep guilt in the eyes that were staring at him.

As soon as the two eyes were paired together, Tang Li immediately lowered his head and avoided Concubine Yang's gaze. He himself didn't know whether this action was because he blamed Concubine Yang for not helping him these days, or because of the words he heard when he saw Yang Guozhong the day before yesterday, or because of the fear that such ambiguous look would be noticed by Li Tengjiao.

After Xuanzong finished drinking, he discussed Concubine Yang. After Tang Li’s eyes had just changed his face and his face changed slightly because of Tang Li’s dodging eyes, he raised his bottle and invited him to drink. Facing the city tower, he smiled faintly and said, “Oh! Tang Qing is here tonight! Come, sit at my palace and explain when I appreciate the singing and dancing later.”

The calm-faced Concubine Yang's understatement immediately made the eyes of the city tower focus on Tang Li, and most of them are envious.

Unpredictably, Concubine Yang suddenly said this. In this public place, Tang Li couldn't refuse, so he helped Li Tengjiao with his hands and walked towards the empty seat on the lower right of the Yu Case under the attention of everyone.

In the court banquets in the Tang Dynasty like tonight, one or two empty seats were left in front of the emperor's throne as usual as a favor and reward for the winners who would later send poems. This trend was first flourished in the Wuhou Dynasty and has continued to this day.

When Tang Li and the others arrived before the imperial case to thank him, Concubine Yang looked at Li Tengjiao carefully, then glanced at Tang Lixu's hand holding Li Tengjiao with vague eyes, and smiled gracefully, "Last time when you entered the palace with Yuzhen, I saw that you were still a child. How long has it been since I got out like this? It's even more rare to marry a good man like Tang Qing. It's such a blessing!" As she spoke, Concubine Yang deliberately sat upright, and even the movement of her hair sweeping seemed to be deliberately showing her charming appearance. Her slightly slanted bun and raised orchid fingers contained a lot of tricks in her seemingly simple movements.

While Li Tengjiao smiled sweetly, Tang Li leaned over and said indirectly: "Jiao'er's face is beautiful and gentle and virtuous. I am really grateful to have His Majesty and the Empress give such a famous beauties to me that day!"

After hearing Tang Li say this, Xuanzong smiled slightly and said, "This is true! Jiao'er is one of the few beautiful women in the younger generation of the royal family. Tang Qing, don't let her down."

"Ah... Husband is very good to me! Thank you Your Majesty and Empress for giving me such a good husband!" Here, Li Tengjiao, who was full of affection, turned his head and looked at Tang Li, and then leaned down to worship Xuanzong and Yang Concubine three times.

Li Tengjiao's performance caused Yang Fei to glance at Tang Li, and he saw Xuanzong smiling and said, "It's rare that you and your wife can do this at a young age. But those who are good at the beginning must be careful at the end. You two must remember, well, go down and sit down!" When talking about the same eyebrows, Xuanzong's eyes unconsciously glanced at Yang Fei beside him.

After such a small episode, the banquet continued, and the bells and chatted, singing and dancing were endless. Seeing that the bright moon became deeper and taller, Xuanzong, who was slightly drunk, waved his hand to stop singing and dancing, and ordered the ministers to write poems on the moon as the title to cheer up.

While speaking, Xuanzong, who had a slightly red face, glanced at Tang Li and said, "Everyone has shown their talents. Tonight, anyone who can win the title of poetry can be allowed to ask for rewards at will. I and my beloved concubine will be allowed to do so!"

Tang Li, who had no intention of participating, suddenly felt aroused when he heard this. Faced with such a good opportunity, he didn't care whether to plagiarize or not. When he finished writing, he used Su Shi's [Shuitu Songtou] to respond to the scroll.

Although there are many talented people in the seats, their talents are sometimes exhausted, and they have to work hard. But when they encounter this famous poem for generations, how can they be competed for? Yang Fei, who is full of intoxication, was murmured and chanted "The moon has its phases, and people have their joys and sorrows, and this matter is difficult to be complete in ancient times. I hope that people will last forever and share the beauty of the moon together from thousands of miles away." I don't know what was touched when I met this famous poem. There was a faint wave of water in my eyes looking at Tang Li.

"What a matter of this is hard to complete. In just five words, I can express the helplessness of life. Good words, which is indeed a good word!" After admiring, Xuanzong smiled and looked at Tang Li with a loud shout from the ministers and said, "Since Tang Qing has won the leader, I want any reward, but I will respond to it!"

Since resigning from Yang Guozhong's mansion the day before yesterday, Tang Li has been waiting for this opportunity all the time in the past three days. After hearing Xuanzong's words, he took a deep breath and stood up, asking himself: "Don't you joke?"

Not afraid that Tang Lihui would say this, Xuanzong held the jar and laughed and said, "You don't have any jokes!"

On the Chengtian City Tower, under the gaze of officials, Tang Li, who had left the seat and walked to the imperial case of Xuanzong, bowed down and said slowly: "The Prince of Dongping, the governor of Fanyang, An Lushan, has already expressed his intention to rebel. I ask Your Majesty to immediately issue an edict to mobilize the troops in the border town to enter Hedong to quell the rebellion!"

Tang Li's words were clear and stable, but as he said this, the Chengtian Gate Tower, which was still laughing and laughing, suddenly became silent. While Yang Fei's appearance was lost, Xuanzong's face became redder and redder.

With a "bang", the wine bottles that fell to the ground shattered. The furious Xuanzong suddenly raised his fingers and said, "Bold!"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Imperial City, Dali Temple.

There are long couches with thick wood, table tables with thick wood, and four treasures of the study on the table table. If the thick wooden fence is not particularly eye-catching, this place is really the same as the study room of a poor scholar.

"Don't love, you're so confused! That day I repeatedly told you not to mention An Lushan again, but you didn't listen and insisted on making yourself here before you were happy! "Yang Guozhong, who was frowning through the wooden fence, kept scolding Tang Li in the cell: "Dali Temple, this is the Dali Temple, which is a retaliated criminal. If it weren't for the imperial concubine's rebellion in the past two days, your tigress kept crying in Li Fu's mansion, don't love you for false accusation of the ministers. "At this point, Yang Guozhong looked angry and said, "Don't love you, who is so smart, how could you do such a fool this time? Your Majesty is angry now. No one can protect you, and even the Empress, so stay here!"

He ignored Yang Guozhong's criticism at all, and Tang Li just smiled faintly and asked: "Can Your Majesty's edict for dispatching troops be issued?"

At this time, when he heard Tang Li ask such a question, Yang Guozhong threw it over and said, "Don't be in love, you're stupid!"

"It's a pity! God's will is so will, and I can't even fight for two days." A bitter smile appeared on his face. After Tang Li walked around the room twice, he walked directly to the Muzha and stared at Yang Guozhong and said, "I will naturally go out when the time comes. You don't have to worry about your worries anymore, so hurry up..."

"Don't love, you are so stupid!" He stopped Tang Li's words. As soon as Yang Guozhong said this, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the cell room, and then a loud voice sounded: "Master, good news, good news," With this shouting, Li Rui, who was wearing a full set of princes, ran in quickly.

At this time, Yang Guozhong did not have any extra politeness and asked directly: "What good news, say it quickly!"

"Eight hundred miles of speed up! On the contrary, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, An Lushan officially rebelled! "Unlike Yang Guozhong, who changed his expression, Li Rui's face was filled with surprise, and his eyes looked at Tang Li were full of admiration," But... but the banner of An Lushan's uprising was "clean the king's side". What he wanted to clear was Yang Xianggong and his master... Master, you..."
