Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Six hundred and sixty-three, the longing for the Spring Festival


In the East Palace today, whether it is the Third Wife or the Third Young Master, in fact, it has long existed in name only. At the beginning, Li Zhi and Wu Mei were arrogant. Some famous civil servants, Confucian generals, etc. were all taken by Li Zhi and Wu Mei Excuse me.

But regardless of whether it is a veteran or a veteran, when facing the grades of the three young masters who are higher than the three males, they still showed great interest, only when they learned about the character of the prince, and now the prince After the current situation, especially when Dai Zhide’s old past was turned out, these literati and Confucian generals blurted out: "Is this the minister granting the prince or the prince granting the minister?"

What's more, the literary and martial arts of His Royal Highness are widely circulated in the market. The article is comparable to the achievements of the first emperor. Although it ended up making wedding dresses for Li Zhi, these cannot be ignored. If they are appointed and removed In the position of Third Young Master, what can I give to His Royal Highness?

No one dared to slap their chests and said that they could teach the prince what knowledge, because they knew everything about the prince, and the prince they didn't understand, so they could only sigh with excitement.

So until now, the officials in the East Palace, with the exception of the Third Young Master, are still under the normal system. Whether they are guests of the prince, or Zhan Shifu, they are all appointed and removed in accordance with the official system of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, when Li Hong turned his attention to Chongwen Pavilion and was about to turn Chongwen Pavilion into, Li Lingyue and Shangguan Wan'er’s immediate superiors wanted to find someone to supervise, only to find out that San Tai San from Donggong At the position of the division, a thick layer of dust has accumulated, and these six positions have been empty since Shangguanyi, Xu Jingzong and others.

Li Hong, who returned to the East Palace from the Central Military Camp, brought Saleh a tail. This time, Datang’s statistics on the victory and defeat of the two sides have already been calculated, and fewer than 70 casualties have been killed or injured.

On the other hand, the big food is, now that you can find and gather together, no matter whether there is still fighting power, as long as there is a breath, there are only more than seventy people.

Other people, whether in Li Hong's view or Saleh's view, are all bad luck.

Datang’s powerful combat effectiveness left Saleh with nothing to say. This time Li Hong’s initiative to form an alliance and show good, made him have to agree to this time before he could figure out Li Hong’s ultimate goal. Make an alliance and let the two countries truce and fix it.

In this defeat, Saleh naturally lost nothing to say. The fat leg of lamb became tasteless in his mouth, and the glass in his hand was poured into his stomach. Irrigate.

Li Hong slowly and slowly enjoyed the delicious food and wine, and silently accompanied Saleh to drink.

Ye Yue, who served the two of them on the side, had her heart in her throat, and she was afraid that they would fight again regardless of their status because of their drinking.

Fortunately, none of this happened. Only the two of them understood the conversation between the two of them, but at the end, Ye Yue vaguely heard that Brother Wang was inviting Li Hong to go there during his lifetime. A big eclipse.

Unexpectedly by Yeyue's expectations, Li Hong resolutely agreed, and looked at Saleh and said, "I will definitely hold your nephew and go with you."

Salih spit out all the wine that Saleh had just poured into his mouth in one sentence, and he repeatedly scolded someone shamelessly.

In the next few days, the entire Chang'an seemed to be caught in a busy rhythm. With the festive atmosphere of Yuanri, the royal family members came and went in the Daming Palace to congratulate Li Zhi and Wu Mei. .

In the East Palace, under the urging of Yan Lingbin's anxiety and tension, he has been rehearsing "The Legend of the White Snake" without stopping.

Even ordinary people hope to be able to finish their tasks quickly and get ready for what is to come in the first few days before the supreme Yuan Festival. On Yuan Day, there will be an even more exciting Shanghai Yuan Festival.

The envoys of the various countries did not have the intention to leave, even if it was the eater prince Saleh who had just been defeated in the Central Army barracks, he wanted to see how beautiful this amazing firework was circulating in the market.

So the whole city of Chang'an seems to be busy, but the purpose of people's busyness is to get more enjoyment and freedom on the day of the Spring Festival.

No one knows whether this year’s Shangyuan Festival will display so many fireworks like last year. Even now, the court has simply ignored the voices of the people, but everyone believes that this year There must be that beautiful fireworks.

In the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, under the layout of Jingzhao Mansion, the number of festive lanterns has doubled compared with previous years, and the position of each red lantern is much lower than in previous years. It has reached an adult A height that can be easily reached.

It is said that on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, a few red envelopes will be hung under each lower lantern. Each red envelope contains a riddle. As long as you guess it, you can be in Shangyuan. On the second day of the festival, take the riddle and go to each workshop to exchange gifts.

In Datang, people only occasionally played riddles, but it was not popular enough to associate it with festivals.

The custom of guessing lantern riddles on the Shangyuan Festival came into being in the Southern Song Dynasty. In order to show their talents, literati wrote riddles on lanterns to attract passers-by to guess. With the word guessing riddles.

The reason why Li Hong only started to include it in the Shangyuan Festival until today is more or less related to the opposition between Li Zhi and Wu Mei.

When Pei Yan rebelled, he secretly colluded with Xu Jingye. As one of the members assigned by Li Hong to Xu Jingye's command, King Luo Bin wrote "One piece of fire, two pieces of fire, and the scarlet-clothed child sits in the palace". A nursery rhyme, which was very similar to the lantern riddles that Li Hong wanted to launch later, so it was immediately rejected by Li Zhi and Wu Mei, but it was tried on a small scale in the palace last year.

This year, now both Li Hong’s status and Li Zhi and Wu Mei’s stability in Datang’s Jiangshan Sheji have changed, so Li Zhi and Wu Mei let Li Hong toss and make the court a hundred The official and the people have fun.

It is obviously impossible to come up with all the riddles, so the number of riddles is only prepared in a few shops on three sides of the imperial city. After all, there are many literati and noble officials who live here. They can be solved. The probability is naturally greater.

What's more, when it comes to the Shangyuan Festival, apart from the many important places in Chang'an, such as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Ci'en Temple, Qujiang Pond, etc., there are many people gathered. Since last year, the fireworks in the Imperial City have attracted most The people came to watch.

The lantern riddles are now appearing in several places around, also in order to attract more people to come to the outside of the imperial city, and to be able to celebrate the Yuan Festival a little closer to the imperial family.

The large ice sculptures were transported from Taiyi City to the streets around the imperial city by a wide carriage, covered with thick black cloth. Before the arrival of the Shangyuan Festival, no one knew the black cloth. What is wrapped in it.

Every strange and weird appearance is like a huge ornamental stone, so that the pedestrians and literati who pass by can stop and stare, but because of the seal on it, no one dares to go and take a look at the black cloth. Inside, what exactly is wrapped.

In the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, there is no need to worry about those huge ice sculptures being melted in just one day, so every time they approach the black cloth-covered ice sculpture, they feel a chill of coldness.

There are many ice sculptures in the imperial city, in the Daming Palace, and even in the East Palace. They are just the ice sculptures in the Daming Palace and the East Palace. The true face of Lushan Mountain has been revealed from the moment it was shipped in.

At night, under the light of the light, each ice lantern flickers from all angles and reflects the light of different colors. Whether it is Li Zhi or Wu Mei, or preparing for the Yuan Dynasty, she will immediately publish her "Fangjiantianxia" 'Li Lingyue, all smiles openly.

The little fat man Li Dan, after sneaking into the Daming Palace in advance, when Li Zhi and Wu Mei, and Li Lingyue admiring the ice lantern, the guy was threatening Jin Wuwei and asked Jin Wuwei to take Li Zhi’s bedroom in the corner of Zichen Hall. Two of his ice sculptures were moved to his palace.

The back of the head was slapped by Wu Mei who did not know when to arrive~IndoMTL.com~The little fat man Li Dan smiled, and said aggrieved: "I have made this ice sculpture by myself, but no The emperor's brother is so big and not so exquisite, so I want to go back and study it."

"Then you sit here and study hard tonight!" Li Zhi said with a cold face with his hands behind his back and wearing a thick fur.

"Then...then let it go, Erchen will go back and think about it." Li Dan continued to laugh, but his eyes were reluctant, and he still stared at it more than the two of them combined. Tall ice sculptures.

"It's okay, I can bring you two more furs, it's not cold, you see that the ice sculptures are not cold, half of it has not melted." Li Lingyue said at this time without forgetting to get down.

"Only you have a lot of spooky ideas. What about your emperor brother? What are you doing in the East Palace?" Li Zhi reprimanded Li Lingyue, and then pushed Li Dan's thick shoulder, motioning him to follow Li Lingyue and accompany him to continue with the queen Enjoy the lanterns and ice sculptures in the palace.

"I don't know, Jin Wuwei and the Central Army are now running into Chang'an City. It seems that the emperor has gone to Jingzhao Mansion. When the son came through the East Palace, he did not see the emperor." Li Dan and Li Lingyue side by side And yes, following Li Zhi and Wu Mei, scratching his head and said.

"It seems that there will be fireworks to see tomorrow night, I really want to be there tomorrow night! By the way, since the emperor is not in the East Palace, why don't you move his ice sculptures in the East Palace?" Li Lingyue felt wrong. Li Dan didn't take the East Palace, but he boldly wanted to take the Daming Palace. This is not logical.

"The ice sculptures in the east palace of the emperor's brother have been taken away by the seven emperors. If I move a few more, the emperor's wife will probably quit." Li Dan replied dejectedly.

(ps: It’s still three shifts today, but the third shift will be later.)
