When returning to the palace, Yang Siqiao gave the wooden box presented by Xue Ne, Li Tong opened it and saw that it was some manor deeds, and he couldn't help but cry and laugh. I don't know what Xue Jichang from Xijing said to Xue Ne, so that he figured out his preferences so much.

Li Tong has a pragmatic side, but when it comes to personal enjoyment, there are actually no too high requirements.

Xue Rengui said that the fame is not small, but there are not many famous lords and nobles left to the descendants, including Yu Ze, and even the dukedom of this country was posthumously awarded in the Yongchang period, in order to cover up Xue Huaiyi's parallel military exploits, plus the imperial court really has no generals available, after specially praising these famous generals.

Xue Ne's dedication to these grange properties is enough to break his muscles and bones. Li Tong responded to this matter because he valued Xue Ne, and the rest didn't care too much. But if you return it now, it will make the other party misunderstand that you are unwilling to contribute, so you simply stay first, and then find a chance to return it after things have taken a turn for the better.

Soon after, the time came to the first month of the second year of longevity. It is said to be the first month, but in fact it is just a normal deep winter November, in short, Wu Zetian's ruling skills are that as long as you feel comfortable, I have no sense of existence, what is it that you say, what can you do?

Of course, the people don't care about too many official calendars, how to live or how to live. But because of the imperial court, it was busy with various ceremonies for the New Year.

When Li Tong returned to Yunshao Mansion, regarding the New Year's ceremony regulations, the Spring Official Rites Department had already drawn up and distributed them to various divisions, and the time was in a hurry, even if there was time to expand the new song, there was not enough time to practice it, so the people of Yunshao Mansion were just practicing some old movements, the most important of which was the big song "Shengong Music" personally compiled by his grandmother in the Ruyi year.

As for the expansion, it will be left until the real Spring Festival and his grandmother's birthday in February. Putting aside these problems, Li Tong is holding back his energy, and this year's Shangyuan Festival must take a good feel for the festive atmosphere of the city's curfew.

On the first day of the first month of the first month, the Mingtang Festival. The night before, Li Tong stayed directly in the forbidden middle school and presided over the preparations for the ceremony.

As soon as the sky was dark, he led the voices of Yunshao Mansion to the Vientiane Divine Palace and began various arrangements.

His grandmother is also well versed in the truth that many people are powerful, so this new music compiled by herself, there are more than 900 people who officially participate in the performance, plus all kinds of auxiliary cooperation, there are more than 2,000 people on and off the field, and in terms of scale alone, it has far surpassed Li Tong's old song "Vientiane".

As the chief manager of the entire orchestra, Li Tong is also very busy, and he has to ask about big and small things. Fortunately, his aunt, Princess Taiping, is also from this Dao Fang family now, and she is also in the forbidden area, which has helped a lot.

He was still busy arranging the main hall of the Ming Hall here, and suddenly received an urgent call from Princess Taiping, and hurriedly retreated from the palace to see Princess Taiping with a grim expression in a house in the side hall.

"San Lang, King Wei and King Liang have entered the palace, do you know that they are going to enter the sacrifice today?"

Princess Taiping pulled Li Tong into the table and sat down, her bright face looked a little panicked at this time.

Although Li Tong was not surprised by this, he still shook his head and said: "The ceremony I am doing is just the last section, and I think the spring official of the Ministry of Rites should have known about it earlier." ”

"No wonder, today's ban is particularly tight, and Chen Jia is more than double that of previous years!"

Princess Taiping grabbed Li Tong's hand, her arm trembled faintly, and whispered: "San Lang, will the imperial heir ...... What should we do about it? What can be done? ”

Seeing his aunt's expression like this, he was obviously worried that the empress might attack the imperial heir directly, so he was worried.

Seeing this, Li Tong sighed, patted the back of his aunt's hand and comforted: "The emperor's heir has the hope of being determined, and it is not vulgar and treacherous that can be hurt." The general trend is reversed, and it is not possible for the two or three selfish people to decide. ”

He didn't say this all because of his original memory. After all, the more involved he is in this world, the greater the impact. Compared with the crisis of his fourth uncle now, there is a direct connection with his Dou family in Xijing not long ago.

The reason for this judgment is that the participation of King Wei and King Liang this time happened suddenly, and even people who were close to him and his aunt were not informed in advance, which shows that the participation in this matter is very small, and there will be no long-term follow-up plan, at most it is to take people out for a walk.

Although she was comforted by Li Tong, Princess Taiping still couldn't be completely reassured, got up and said that she would go to the palace to listen to the direction of the wind first, and told Li Tong to be vigilant.

After all, if the imperial heir is passive, then they, the Li clan relatives in the remaining situation, will also be in a worrying situation, and no one can estimate what the kings of the martial arts family who are completely powerful will do.

Li Tong was actually thinking in his heart, although he felt that the subjective initiative of the martial arts family was not so high, but if the situation imagined by Princess Taiping really happened, the danger he would face would undoubtedly be much greater than that of his aunt.

Seeing that Princess Taiping was in a hurry to go to the dormitory, Li Tong's heart moved, and he called his aunt in a loud voice, and whispered, "Can my aunt lead my second brother in?" ”

Princess Taiping was slightly stunned when she heard this, and after she settled down, she suddenly felt a moment, and then nodded and said, "Then your cousins, I will also bring it in." ”

A crying child can have milk to drink, and a proper expression of his weakness and helplessness can also win more attention.

No matter how confident Wu Zetian is in being able to control her nephews, but it is an indisputable fact that the Wu family is too strong in the forbidden army system, if they really dare to take advantage of this to do things, then it is not theoretically impossible to directly cover the people in the forbidden army.

After Princess Taiping left, Li Tong also returned to the main hall of the Ming Hall, and on the way he met the kings of the Wu clan who had ascended the palace. Wei Wang Wu Chenghei took the lead, wearing a solemn dress, his steps were light and agile, all the way to look forward to the left and right, there was a pride swaying, and there were more than 100 forbidden army soldiers in the rear, which was very majestic.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong took the initiative to avoid it, stood in a place where the palace pillars were shadowed, and watched the kings of the Wu clan pass by.

But although he didn't want to attract attention, someone still noticed him, and when he walked here, Liang Wang Wu Sansi, who was also dressed solemnly, paused, and his eyes swept towards the back of the palace pillar as if at random.

Because of its pause, the footsteps of the kings in the rear were slow, and Wu Chenghe, who was walking in front, soon noticed this abnormality, looked back, and looked at Wu Sansi's line of sight, and also saw Li Tong who was hiding in the shade, the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of disdain, and he whispered in his mouth: "Today's big gift, don't be too troublesome." ”

Watching the kings of the Wu clan swaggering by, Li Tong walked out of the shadows, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the so-called Mu Monkey and crown, some things really have to talk about talent. Obviously, he has already gained such a big advantage, and he doesn't hurry up to plan things and make some trends an established fact, but he just cares about blowing up the streets here, and there is really nothing to say.

Although he thought so, he was not easy in his heart, and wherever he went, he took Yang Siqiao and a few other strong eunuchs, and tried his best to order his subordinates to do it for him for some things that needed to be in and out frequently. In many cases, what I am afraid of is what happens in case something happens, and when Xuanwumen does not have an accident, it is also sunny and beautiful.

Princess Taiping went for about half an hour, and another palace official entered the main hall to look for Li Tong and asked him to go to the dormitory and wait for the ceremony.

Li Tong was already a little panicked in his heart, and after hearing this, he immediately didn't care about whether he was derelict in his duty or not, and quickly instructed some follow-up matters, and then followed the palace official to the dormitory to find a little warmth in front of his grandmother.

Here in the dormitory, it is also heavily guarded, and even this section of the palace road between it and the Ming Hall is marked by a soldier with a staff, and the atmosphere is not ordinary and dignified.

When Li Tong came here, everyone was waiting in the side hall, so he also sat on the side of his second brother Li Shouli.

Li Shouli turned his head and smiled at him, his eyes were slightly red, and on the other side, Xue Chongjian leaned over and whispered: "I was in the hall just now, my cousin was crying, saying that I was ......feeling nostalgic when I saw my brother."

Li Tong nodded slightly after hearing this, raised his hand and patted the second brother on the shoulder, No, wait for the twins to grow up for a few more years, and send them to you.

Next, the ceremony was held according to the procedure, and there was no confusion, but when the ceremony was offered, the King of Wei and the King of Liang participated in the sacrifice successively, which caused an uproar in the palace hall, but this time the festival was generally relatively successful. It's just that until the ministers of Zetianmen were treated, the imperial heir's family never showed up.

Although the fact is that Li Tong was too smart with his aunt and scared himself, Li Tong himself understood that this behavior was not useless after all.

At the end of the ceremony, the empress ordered all the prime ministers to send the king of Wei back to the palace, and Li Tong saw Li Zhaode and others, who had been tense since the beginning of the ceremony, and their faces were slightly relaxed.

Wu Chengsi was in the limelight today, as a sub-sacrifice in the Divine Palace, and at the end of the ceremony, he returned to the palace under the arch of the prime ministers, and even the ceremonial guards used were closer to the standard of the crown prince, which can be described as extremely beautiful.

However, Li Tong also knew in his heart that this was probably the closest moment for Wu Chenghei to the throne in his life. Previously, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the official position of Wu Yizong to engage in the sons of his fourth uncle Li Dan, and then affected the legality of the title of "imperial heir", which was really just an unexpected performance at a super level.

I finally slipped around the Shrine, even if you go to the East Palace to soak and then leave, it's better than just swaggering. No matter how gorgeous the house is, no matter how majestic the prime ministers send off on foot, the meaning is wrong, and the taste is not right! After a big show, it turns out that you are just a lady.

But no matter what you say, this time the Mingtang ceremony still brought a great touch to the situation, and many aftertastes are fermenting, just waiting to explode.

At the same time, after the end of the day's ceremony, Wu Zetian summoned the palace officials when he returned to the dormitory, and asked in a condensed voice: "Those two clumsy women, are you guilty?" ”

The palace official saw sweat on his forehead and knelt deep and was silent. Wu Zetian waited for a moment, his eyes flashed, and three words came out of his mouth: "Let's do something." ”
