On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, lanterns were hung at the door of each business, and they were very beautiful.

A high platform has also been set up in the open space along the street, which is a stage built for the evening performance team, and now some people have begun to prepare on it, although the performance has not yet begun, but it has also attracted many onlookers.

Since noon, Chang'an Avenue has been very lively, and the old residents of Chang'an know that Emperor Hui in order to show his image of being close to the people, he will lead his ministers to visit Chang'an Avenue with everyone on this day every year, and watch the lanterns.

As soon as the time of Shen arrived, martial law had begun on Chang'an Avenue. The exit to the civilian area has been blocked by the army, and anyone who wants to enter it will have to go through strict checks.

The two sides of the street were even more heavily guarded, and the soldiers formed two human walls with five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the middle avenue was vacated, and the people could only move within a very narrow range on both sides.

The dark personnel mixed in the crowd to find out the news, as long as they found a suspicious person, they would directly come forward to arrest him, and then secretly take him away, leaving it for later careful identification.

The rich watched the bustle in the inns on both sides, and the poor had to crowd the streets below.

As soon as the time arrived, the sky had already darkened, and the lights on Chang'an Avenue were indeed bright, shining a few points brighter than the day.

At the Penglai Inn in the center of Chang'an Avenue, two young men dressed as scholars hurriedly came in from outside.

"Brother Ji, I heard that the Son of Heaven was patrolling the streets today, and I don't know if we are lucky enough to see the holy face of the Son of Heaven!" A slightly chubby scholar in a moon-white robe, shaking a fan, said with a little excitement.

"Brother Wu, we are too far away from the street here, even if the Son of Heaven passes by here, we can't see clearly!" The scholar surnamed Ji put his hands behind his back, held a fan, and said lightly.

"Let's go, go up to the second floor, where the line of sight is open, you should be able to see a little more clearly!" Wu Shusheng frowned and looked around, and saw that the first floor was basically full, so he proposed to build a yì.

The scholar surnamed Ji nodded indifferently and followed behind Wu Shusheng to the second floor.

The two walked up to the second floor with heavy steps, but the window seat on the second floor was already occupied.

"Brother Ji, there are no more vacancies here, let's go down and squeeze in." Wu Shusheng frowned and said to Ji Shusheng with a bitter face.

"Hmph, it's insulting to be crowded with those peddlers and pawns, and it has lost the face of Sage Kong!" Ji Shusheng's face changed suddenly, and he brushed his sleeves and said unhappily: "If Brother Wu says this again in the future, we will cut off our robes and cut off our righteousness!" ”

The few people in the restaurant who had paid some attention to them all withdrew their gazes, and after scolding in their hearts, they turned around and stopped looking at them.

Wu Shusheng had no choice but to look around, and the first table of the four tables by the window from east to west sat a one-armed man, revealing a posture of not disturbing the living, and was pouring himself a drink; At the second table, there was a thin old man, and there was a smoking gun on the stage, and he drank a little wine happily with a plate of peanuts, and the thin old man saw the two scholars, and nodded to them with a smile; At the third table sat a young man dressed as a rich man, with some delicate refreshments on the table, and two pretty maids standing behind him; At the last table, there were three strong men, drinking with their chests and breasts bare.

Wu Shusheng's eyes lit up, and he took Ji Shusheng to the rich son's table, Shi Li said: "This brother is polite, the surname of the little student is Wu, seeing that the brother is extraordinary, I don't know if I can make friends?" ”

The rich boy didn't raise his head, but just waved his hand to the maid behind him.

The maid nodded, stepped forward, blocked in front of Wu Shusheng, and said, "My son-in-law is not used to talking to strangers, please forgive me!" ”

After speaking, the maidservant took out a silver ticket from her sleeve and said, "If you are shy in your pocket, my princess can sponsor one or two, and there is no need to make friends!" ”

Wu Shusheng made a big red face, stood in place, didn't pick it up, didn't pick it up, and for a while, he couldn't speak.

The three big men behind him laughed together and shouted: "These two boys still want to talk to others, but they don't want to be so embarrassed, haha, this time they are even more worthy of Sage Kong!" But the big men listened to the conversation between them when they just went upstairs, and their hearts were not very happy, and now they found an opportunity to deliberately humiliate them.

The two scholars were so angry that their eyes were on fire, and the surname Wu pointed at the three strong men with trembling hands, unable to hold back a word for a long time.

When the three men saw the appearance of the two scholars, they immediately smiled more happily, and drank more and more freely.
