On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the wine banquet in the palace opened, beaming with joy, the palace maids and chamberlains shuttled back and forth, the emperor, the concubine, the prince, the prince, the princess, and the relatives sat down in turn, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, next to Li Shimin's table, as a concubine, Li Tai also sat close, and the other princes were far away. After all, the royal father-son relationship is a little weaker, and the emperor has many children, how can they all be close. Therefore, the other princes and princesses were several feet away from Li Shimin's position, Li Shimin did not raise his glass, and everyone did not speak, just waiting for the chopsticks to take the initiative, and the banquet officially began.

Li Chengqian's gaze wandered, as if he was looking for something, like a scanner, and finally, his gaze must have landed on a corner, where the dancers were waiting to be present. Satisfaction is naturally there, and today I want to dance for the royal family, and I pay special attention to dressing, and my makeup is also extremely beautiful. His eyebrows and eyes were watery, showing his softness, and he glanced at Li Chengqian's place as if he was not suspicious, not daring to look at him. The end of the black hair, a bun, a white jade hairpin on the bun, with tassels hanging from it, when secretly talking to the musician next to him, the tassels are swaying. White and clean face, soft and delicate skin. The eyebrows are slender and picturesque, the eyes are shining like stars, the corners of the lips are soft, and the corners of the mouth are slightly curved upwards when speaking, with a little sad smile. The whole person looks unworldly, without the slightest smell of fireworks in the world. She wore a white pleated palace dress, and stood there, dignified and noble, quiet and elegant; It is so pure, tender, like a budding hibiscus, and it is not clean.

The others hadn't noticed it yet, but Li Tai saw it, he was next to Li Chengqian, and seeing that he was out of shape, he secretly reached out and gently pinched him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Huang, what are you looking at?" ”

Li Chengqian withdrew his gaze, smiled awkwardly, and said softly: "Just take a look, just take a look-"

Li Tai blinked his eyes and said in a suppressed voice: "The eyeballs are going to be pasted, so let's just take a look?" He approached Li Chengqian and said with a low smile: "Didn't the imperial brother move his mind?" Didn't my father say that he would arrange family affairs for you? The eldest daughter of Qizhou Thorn Shi Su Yan, I heard that she is a talented girl. ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know where you got the news, is it true?" ”

"What the queen mother said, you want to think about it yourself," Li Tai smiled, his eyes blinked, glanced towards the place where his heart was, and said: "This Le Ling is born well, if the royal brother likes it, just stay in the palace, it's a little thing, why bother sneaking around?" ”

This is not Li Tai's profligacy, but for his identity, a Le Ling is really nothing. He was too young to be exposed to it. But he has seen that, for example, when a literary meeting is held, where literati from all walks of life gather together, and when the wine is drunk, there are those who drink and gamble on concubines. In this era, the value of a concubine, or a woman, is probably no more valuable than a good horse.

When Li Tai said this, Li Chengqian was a little moved. But between the eyebrows, there is no stretch. Because of one thing, he didn't dare to confess to Li Tai.

If he were her, it would be fine. But he is him, how can there be a man in the East Palace? What's more, he is the crown prince, and neither etiquette nor human ethics allow him to mess with a man.

Li Chengqian said with a sullen face: "You don't understand. ”

Li Tai disagreed, and said: "Brother Huang, although I haven't practiced it, I have seen a lot more than you, you are embarrassed to say, I will help you." ”

Li Chengqian said that he was suffering, but he said: "You don't understand, forget it, don't mention it." ”

Li Tai smiled, just thinking that he was embarrassed, and didn't say anything.

The banquet officially began, drank a few glasses of wine, after the opening dance, the atmosphere was finally warmer, Li Shimin was afraid that everyone would not be happy, so he specially instructed him not to be stubborn, a few bold princes over there had already moved around, Li Tai also stood up, holding a glass of wine, and said, "I'll go talk to Na Le Ling." ”

Li Chengqian pinched a handful of sweat in his palms, quickly grabbed Li Tai, and said, "Don't mess around." ”

Li Tai shook off Li Chengqian's hand and said, "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I have a sense of proportion." ”

After that, Li Tai walked towards satisfaction, Li Chengqian's heart was weak, he didn't dare to stop him, he lowered his head and drank without speaking, and his eyes were locked on Li Tai. Over there, after the heartfelt performance, he was about to leave the stage, when he saw a person who looked like a prince coming over, he was also a little nervous, and his steps were faster. When Li Tai saw that he was going to run, he wondered in his heart, why was this Le Ling so afraid of life? In previous years, after the performance, Le Ling walked slowly, counting on which noble person fell in love, or gave something reward, why is she an exception? Thinking of this, Li Tai also quickened his pace and trotted to catch up.

Li Chengqian's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and his neck stretched out, when Li Shimin talked to him, Li Chengqian hurriedly withdrew his gaze and toasted Li Shimin to hide his embarrassment.

After drinking the wine, Li Taihe could no longer be seen there, and Li Chengqian suddenly felt empty in his heart, and his whole person was depressed.

The banquet continued, and after about a cup of tea, Li Tai came back, with a happy face, and said to Li Chengqian: "Brother Huang, it's all right, I found the official of Taichang Temple, and told him that I took a fancy to this musician, and asked him to send it to my house." ”

Li Chengqian was stupid and said hurriedly: "That's the person I like!" ”

"Oops, what's the hurry!" Li Tai glanced at him and said, "Can I still rob you?" Didn't you say it was sent to my house for you? I'll go back to Luoyang in a few days, and then you can pick people up." ”

When Li Chengqian heard him say this, his heart was a little calmer, he looked at Li Tai's expression, and asked tentatively, "Nothing else?" ”

Li Tai was stunned: "What else?" ”

Li Chengqian said in his heart that he didn't know that he was a man. Since I don't know, I don't need to explain it, it's best to mix it up. He hurriedly raised his glass and said to Li Tai: "Then thank you for your help." ”

"Thank you," Li Tai waved his hand, and the brothers took a drink.

When the banquet finally ended, when the people dispersed, the father-in-law over there bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Chengtianmen side has been arranged, and when the people heard the news, they all poured out of the city and came to watch the ceremony." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head a little excitedly, and said: "Very good, the wine banquet is here, let's go to Chengtianmen to watch the ceremony, and have fun with the people." Li Mu, the gimmick you came up with, don't let me down and let the people see the joke. ”

Li Mu stood up with a red face, bowed in response, and the group arrived at Chengtianmen in a majestic manner. After the alleyway of Chang'an City was repaired for dinner, Chengtianmen has also been renovated and a viewing platform has been erected. The viewing platform is divided into three layers, the first floor is some princes and ministers, the second floor is the prince, princess, relatives, and the top floor is the position of Li Shimin and the concubines.

Li Shimin called Li Mu to his side and asked in a low voice how to arrange it, Li Mu explained in a low voice: "Later, first put the ceremonial flowers, the ceremonial flowers are big firecrackers, which have been improved by the ministers, and they are very good-looking, and Your Majesty will know when you see them." Then His Majesty delivered a New Year's speech, isn't the speech ready, just read it, the people can hear the voice, and they can't see Your Majesty taking the draft, rest assured. Finally, the highlight is that the captain of the martial arts hall is reviewed by His Majesty. ”

Li Shimin worried: "Proofreading? In this good year, there is something wrong with the sword and sword, I am afraid that it will scare the people. ”

Li Mu was about to explain, but the eldest grandson queen next to him said: "My Datang relies on swords and swords to save the people from fire and water. ”

Li Shimin nodded: "That's what I said, I'm a Tang Dynasty man who is martial arts." ”

Li Mu said: "That's right, although the world is peaceful now, but this peace is not easy to come by." The so-called "Jun to eliminate the weapon, do not worry." Husbands and soldiers can't play, and they can't play; The soldiers cannot be abolished, and if they are abolished, they will summon the Kou", the former Wu Wangfu died in a warlike manner, and the king of Xu Yan was destroyed without martial arts. Therefore, the rule of the Ming King is also, the upper does not play with soldiers, and the lower does not abolish the military. I, Datang, do not make a living for the dawn, and I can't start the war lightly, but I can't forget the war, and forgetting the war will be dangerous. This kind of thinking must penetrate the people from the top down, so that they can be united, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly the truth." Okay, you can arrange to go, I want to see what the martial arts hall can proofread, it's only been a few days! ”

Li Shimin appeared from the city tower, and the people outside the moat who were bustling with no end in sight instantly burst into bursts of praise, such a scene made Li Shimin forget about Fang's heavy concerns, and he couldn't help but wave to the crowd. Now there are countless Kong Ming lanterns lit here, suspended in mid-air, bright as day, after a short time, the fireworks are everywhere, with a burst of roar, colorful fireworks explode in the air, gorgeous. Everyone was stunned, and they didn't care about anything else, and they all looked up to see the flowers.

This is the first celebration in the history of the Tang Dynasty, although many rules are not yet mature, but there are also appearances, fortunately, there are many people in Bianjing, with the experience of rushing to the temple fair, this grand celebration will not go wrong, there are forbidden troops everywhere to maintain the order, not afraid of trampling, chaos.

Li Shimin overlooked the crowd of people downstairs, and suddenly gave birth to a sense of pride, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, it turned out to be not just an empty word, seeing those enthusiastic but somewhat blurry faces, the crowded place everywhere praised, Li Shimin stomped on the wall, looked into the distance, and became calm and abnormal in his eyes.

Li Mu glanced at Li Shimin on the side, and suddenly felt that the emperor in front of him was a little unfamiliar, how to say it, as if he was a different person, in the past, Li Shimin was a relatively down-to-earth person, and when he treated him, it was more like an uncle and nephew.

Just now...... Now Li Shimin is calm and determined, and he has a heroic attitude that the world is under control.

The cold wind was blowing, standing on this tuyere, his face was blown by the cold wind, and the father-in-law on the side reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's cold here, it's better to go inside and rest." ”

Li Shimin looked back, and said calmly in his eyes: "I am standing here, come, read the will." Li Mu, you stand by my side. ”

Li Mu stood by Li Shimin's side, but his mind was different from Li Shimin's, and the height was unbearable, which was his intuitive experience.

Li Shimin pointed to the city tower: "Li Mu, have you seen it?" ”

"Wechen saw it."

"What do you think?"

"What Weichen thinks of is the anger of the common people, the two corpses, blood splashed five steps, the wrath of the sky, millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting, and the life and death of all the people are honored and disgraced to maintain Your Majesty."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "That's right, it turns out that I still have such a big stake!" ”

It was at this moment that Mingjin sounded, and Gonggong Gao raised his voice, stood up with a holy decree, and said loudly: "The system said: ......"

As soon as the holy decree was recited, the crowd knelt down one after another, and no one could hear what the holy decree was reciting, and it had already been blown away by the wind, and when the holy decree was recited, it was still the voice of the mountain calling long live. The voices of hundreds of thousands of people are connected, and although they are messy, they are still imposing.

Next, it is the appearance of the martial arts hall, Li Mu stomped on the wall, all slightly moved and uneasy, the heavy axis is here, there must be no mistakes.

There was a rumbling cannon sound in the distance, which was the signal of the review, and then the drum roared, as if even the earth could not help trembling, and on the city tower, the huge drum sound accompanied by the trilling became more and more rapid, and even Li Mu's heartbeat couldn't help jumping with it.

Everyone held their breath, and in the sound of drums, a pair of eyes looked motionless at the end of the royal road, and at the end was darkness, in the darkness, but there seemed to be a force ready to move, they ...... It's coming! "Wechen saw it."

"What do you think?"

"What Weichen thinks of is the anger of the common people, the two corpses, blood splashed five steps, the wrath of the sky, millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting, and the life and death of all the people are honored and disgraced to maintain Your Majesty."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "That's right, it turns out that I still have such a big stake!" ”
