Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Three hundred fifty-eight Dachao congratulations

Li Zhi who kicked someone on another piece of sand, sat down happily next to the Queen of Datang, and after listening carefully to the dozens of political opinions Wu Mei gave to Li Hongti, he was even more satisfied. Praised, and kept hitting someone with his Queen’s political opinions.

After Li Hong listened helplessly to the instructions of Father Dragon, he ignored the Li Lingyue who was lying next to him on his ears and asked him to take Li Lingyue out of the palace. When he was about to get up and leave, he heard his dragon father open his mouth: " Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

"You don't need to open your mouth, the children will not agree." Li Hong refused without waiting for Li Zhi to speak.

"Huh? The little bunny has turned against you? Before I said anything, you refused me directly? Believe it or not that you are a master of disrespect!" Li Zhi said with a beard staring at Li Hong. .

"Don't you just want to say that now my Datang Wealthy Yuan Dynasty, the former Dynasty can fully bear all the expenses of foreign envoys during the Yuanri Dynasty celebrations, how can I be stingy?" Li Hong said disdainfully.

"What? You disagree?" Wu Mei asked curiously.

"Erchen certainly disagrees. They came to my Tang Dynasty to congratulate them. It would be good if they didn't slaughter them ruthlessly, and they would pay for them? Erchen would not dare to be stupid with a lot of money." /

"Who do you say is stupid with more money? Who is stupid with more money? Queen, give me the feather duster and see how I can teach this unfilial son..." Li Zhi grabbed the feather duster from Wu Mei's hand and made a gesture When he got up, he was about to beat His Royal Highness who had already ran far away.

"How dare Erchen say about you? Erchen is talking about himself, saying about himself, is this okay?" Li Hong carefully looked at Father Long who was sitting down again, so he walked to the front and said patiently: "Father and queen, now my Datang seems to have a lot of money, but now there are more places to spend money. There is still a tail left to exchange old money for new money. When these foreign envoys come, there will be dozens of them. Wanguan even lost millions of money. After all, when they came, they must have used the old money that my Datang lacked. So, I think it’s better to leave them alone and let them pay the bills. Is the most correct."

In the eyes of Li Zhi and Wu Mei, Datang Prince Li Hong is good everywhere. It is the narrow-mindedness of this person facing the foreign domain of Fanbang, which is the most unbearable for them, but it makes them unable to refute.

With the continuation of 66 foreign messengers, one after another rushed to the eastern capital of Luoyang before Datang Yuanri, suddenly making Luoyang, which was already bustling, more prosperous.

Whether they are foreign envoys, princes, princes, or princesses, they have all rushed to Luoyang to participate in the Great Court Meeting in the past few days. Li Xian and Li Zhe, who had been confined in Chang'an, were unlucky. As Yuanri was approaching, I finally arrived in Luoyang.

Luoshui has already been artificially frozen at this time. Following the example of some flower workshops in the south, they docked on Luoshui in Luoyang City. The constant flow of passengers made the old bustards grin every day. Drill a lot of silver into your pocket.

The figure of Yingying and Yanyan are occasionally shocked on the ship's side. Standing on the riverside, you can hear some green laughter and singing from the boat from time to time. The heroic poet chants poems to help her. , The sound of music is endless on the long Luoshui River embankment.

Walking along the river bank from west to east, the boats are painted one after another. Whether it is a prostitute, a boat painter, or the scholars, literati, or dignitaries who come to paint the boat for fun, they are all smiling and kind.

The Dachaohe began since the first emperor, because some local governors, governors, and officials had to rent houses for the common people or live together with merchants after they came to Chang'an or Luoyang, so they were ordered by Taizong a long time ago. Chang'an City has prepared 300 residences for its local officials.

Wait until Li Hong’s prodigal Dragon Father is holding a big ceremonial celebration in Luoyang at this time, and his official residence has been shaped. Every official who arrives in Luoyang has to report his official position and other formalities, then he can be in the east of Luoyang. It’s no longer necessary to rent a house or an inn like it used to be when you find a residence that meets its official rank.

At this time, the most busy are the Ministry of Rites and Honghe Temple. They need to provide all necessary arrangements for local officials and foreign envoys.

As for other officials, three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five superintendents, as large as the post of Shangshu, as small as the minister or even lower-level ones, in these few days, they will communicate with other local officials to increase affection or conspiracy. With some of my own little nines, whether to get promoted, or to change places to continue to gain qualifications.

In short, whether it is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, at this time, it is difficult for even Li Hong to find them in his residence. All of them are busy with entertainment and linger at this time. Between painting boats, restaurants and inns.

According to Li Hong's words, if you really have something to find them, you might as well stand on the bank of the Luoshui River and shout a few times, so that you can shout out the official you are looking for if you are not sure.

Li Sujie and Li Shangjin naturally rushed over from their fiefs. Compared with officials, they are the princes of the current emperor's majesty. Although they don’t have a lavish palace like Chang'an, they are better than others. , Their mansion can be regarded as a mansion, they brought their family to the battle together, after arriving in Luoyang, the first thing is naturally to go to the palace to ask their dragon father for peace.

Nowadays, except for Li Zhong who is still alone in Loulan, the sons of His Majesty the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there are only six people left: Li Shangjin, Li Sujie, Li Xian, Li Zhe, Li Dan, and His Royal Highness, and Three princesses.

Li Hong, the prince, felt that there were fewer heirs for the dragon father, but he did not dare to talk to his dragon father casually. As long as he said something, it would definitely be passed to the ears of the dragon mother. He didn't want to make the couple uncomfortable after being beaten up and celebrating the New Year.

Li Sujie frequently wanted to find opportunities to speak with Li Hong alone, but was gently rejected by Li Hong. Now all officials are busy with Yuanri Dachaohe, don’t make trouble at this time, as for Yuanrichaohe After keeping up with the Yuan Festival, it can be another matter.

All the princes and princesses who can live in Luoyang Palace in the overcrowded Luoyang, only the prince Li Hong is still the same as in Chang'an. They are settled in the East Palace on the east side of the palace, and the architectural design and luxury level here , If compared with Luoyang Palace, it is simply shabby and can no longer be shabby.

Even Li Lingyue, who always liked to follow Li Hong's **** as his tail, chose to live in Luoyang Palace because the East Palace was not as good as Luoyang Palace, and abandoned the prince who could tell stories.

Asahi, there are futons, ottomans (tables), smokers, and incense tables in the hall. Everything here is set up according to the old system. If you put in tables and chairs, the Qianyuan Hall of Nuo Da is not enough for hundreds of officials. So the futon and case table are still used to save space.

Doctor Yushi leads the officials to the west of the hall, and calls from the official Zhu Yi to urge all officials to take their positions. Civil and military are listed in the two views. The two supervisors and Yushi stood in the east and west courts to visit them.

Pingming, the transmission point is complete, the inner door is opened, the supervisory historian leads hundreds of officials to enter, the steps are clamped, and the two supervisors and school lieutenants hold the door.

The three provincial officials of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu are in front of the Xiang case, and the Baiguan class is around the palace, first class, second class, second class, second class, second class, second class. For each class, the provincial official of Shangshu.

Eastern Palace officials are the second highest officials, followed by royal officials and relatives.

Shizhong play: "Foreign Affairs Office."

The emperor and the queen stepped out of the Xixu Gate, and the fan and the fan were combined, and the emperor ascended the throne and fanned open. Then leave three fans on each side.

The officials of the three provinces will worship the Emperor and Empress of Tang Dynasty, and then rise to the palace. The insider accepted the decree and called for battle, left and right Yulin army surveyed the wooden contract, and entered from the east and west pavilion. At least one person from the fifth rank of the Ministry of Internal Servant invited him, and one person from the left and right generals and generals escorted him.

In the process of the whole ceremony, the prince Li Hong presented the birthday ceremony first, and then Zhu Gong and others presented gifts. Zhongshu Lingshang played the local congratulatory form, Huangmen ministers played auspicious signs, Hubu Shangshu played the contributions of Zhuzhou, and Ritual Shangshu played the contributions of Zhufan and so on.

It's been nearly two hours after this down, someone sitting in the middle of the hall is already drowsy. Although last night because of today's Yuanri Dachaohe did not toss Baichun, he got up early, and It is to bathe and burn incense, and to do various sacrifices in the East Palace.

Shangguanyi, Li Yifu and other old immortals, at this time, are like robots, with solemn faces, and there is no opportunity for Li Hong to discuss with them to simplify the ceremony. On the contrary, they are mentioned like puppets. Go and do whatever you want.

In Li Hong's view, such a tossing is even more tiring than going on the battlefield, but there is really no other way. At this time, the officials of the Donggong ~IndoMTL.com~ have no feelings to talk about. , I said a few more words, and it attracted Yu Shi to prepare for impeachment, and went on with it simply and unhappy.

However, Li Hong was slightly relieved that other princes such as Li Xian, Li Zhe, and Li Dan were even more miserable than him. They were gathered outside the palace gate by the Yushi doctor in the early morning and joined other hundred officials. We stood together, shaking in the cold wind of dawn, but we had to wait patiently.

Since Li Sujie and Li Shangjin have a family, they also need to perform rituals such as offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings in the temporary palace, and they can run into the ranks of hundreds of officials after they are busy.

As for the local governor, the governor, the chief official, or the prince or the prince, everyone’s auspiciousness is that Li Hong’s stomach cramps, but watching everyone’s solemn face and his father’s smile With a satisfied expression on his face, Li Hong had no choice but to hold back his smile and lower his head under Wu Meifeng's glaring, trying not to let himself laugh at such an occasion.

Most of them are gold, silver, jade, etc., but there are also wonderful people. Fuzhou governor Pei Jiyuan, after knowing that kelp can be eaten now, carried a large bunch of dried kelp with a serious face. It was solemnly presented as auspicious to Father Dragon, so Li Hong couldn't wait to slap Pei Jiyuan a few times.

But apart from the kelp, Pei Jiyuan still made a poem to confess his loyalty to his ministers and workers. Li Hong naturally shook his head disdainfully, but he had to endure it.

In short, no matter which local officials or royal family members offered auspiciousness, they would say auspicious words or show their loyalty, but when everyone had offered auspiciousness, Li Hong only appeared, as if he was the only one who was offering auspiciousness. In etiquette, he seemed the least sincere, because his dragon father was watching him dissatisfied.

However, these are not the main points. The main point is: Thank you for your patience. We will start selling dry goods tomorrow, and the necessary preparations are over.
