Chapter 683: Everything is in order
Everything was arranged.
It was close to 10 p.m.
A large number of tables have already been placed inside the Suzaku Gate.
The civil and military officials have come to the Suzaku Gate to wait for Li Shimin's appearance.
They wondered why they had been called here all of a sudden.
It's this kind of battle again.
Shouldn't they be allowed to enjoy the moon with their families at this time?
A large number of people had already gathered outside the Suzaku Gate, and they had come to hear the news.
"Your Majesty has arrived! Her Royal Highness has arrived! ”
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun appeared, followed by the lovely Li Liqing.
"Meet Your Majesty! Her Royal Highness! ”
The ministers said.
"Excuse me!"
Li Shimin looked around, and when he saw that Li Chengqian was also at this time, he was about to ask what this surprise was.
At this time, a small yellow door came to report.
"Your Majesty, a large number of people have gathered outside the Suzaku Gate, and it is very lively, I don't know why?"
On weekdays, Datang has a curfew, but because of a big festival like the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Shimin specially pardoned people who don't have to have a curfew, otherwise how can anyone come to see this lantern festival?
How can this festival be lively? But why did you gather outside the Suzaku Gate?
Isn't it supposed to be held in the East and West Cities?
What do they want to do?
Li Shimin found himself very curious.
The civil and military officials felt even more so.
Someone shouted, "Let them go!" ”
"What do they want to do?"
……
Li Shimin said:
"You go and ask! What's going on? ”
"Yes!"
Xiao Huangmen was about to go out and ask for an explanation.
Li Chengqian called him back.
"No need to ask! Come back! ”
With this question, Li Shimin may also drive them away.
Can't let them go, so what about his points?
Xiao Huangmen paused, is that to go or not to go? He hesitated, so he had to stop first.
Li Chengqian took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, it was the sons and daughters who asked them to come. ”
Li Shimin asked suspiciously:
"Oh? Why? ”
Li Chengqian said:
"It is better to be happy alone, it is better to be happy with everyone, to be able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the people, it is a reflection of Your Majesty's love for the people! At the same time, it can let the people witness the miracle together! ”
Li Shimin thinks about it, it seems to be like this.
"Gao Ming's words are extremely true. You've thought so well! ”
Li Shimin praised.
After Li Chengqian calmed everyone, he said:
"Your Majesty, please be seated! Just watch Erchen's performance in a while. ”
Li Shimin nodded and sat down.
And said, "Let's all sit down." ”
The ministers sat down, and then someone brought fruits, food, and red wine and white wine to eat.
It looks like I'm going to see the moon and watch the show today.
But what is this performance? Didn't know.
Everyone was also attracted by Li Chengqian's words, what surprise? Do you have to be so many people together?
When everything was in order, Li Shimin did not see any reaction from Li Chengqian.
So he asked Li Chengqian again: "Gao Ming, next, what kind of surprise do you want to give me?" ”
"Your Majesty, when I was studying firearms, I suddenly discovered something very gorgeous. It's called fireworks! ”
Li Chengqian said that fireworks are another form of gunpowder.
In ancient history, gunpowder was first used for firecrackers and fireworks, and it was not until later that it was used in the military.
Li Chengqian directly turned it upside down this time, first gunpowder and then fireworks.
But either way, as long as you can earn points, that's enough. Whatever order it is?
"What kind of flower is fireworks? But like a peony azalea? ”
Empress Eldest Sun asked.
This is a woman's understanding of flowers, and when Li Chengqian talks about flowers, that's all she can think of.
This was also the first reaction of the ministers.
"What flowers to see on a big night? Nothing blooms at this time, right? ”
"It's as dark as ink, and you can't see clearly if there are flowers, right?"
Pedanty, how can it be concluded in a literal sense?
"Definitely!"
Li Chengqian said straight.
Empress Eldest Sun asked, "What is that?" ”
Li Lizhi on the side said curiously: "That's a smoking flower?" ”
Li Chengqian smiled, he didn't particularly study the meaning of this firework, but the ancestors called it that, and he called it that.
The saying that fireworks are smoky flowers seems to fit perfectly.
So he smiled and said: "That's right, fireworks are smoking flowers, but they are more beautiful than other flowers, bigger, one can be up to two miles in size, and it will fly to the sky to leave a dazzling brilliance!" If there are many of them, you can also light up a piece of the sky! Like day! ”
One flower is two miles big? Can you still fly? Can it also brighten up the night like day?
That's, isn't it? Are you sure there's no bragging?
This kind of talk is beyond people's cognition, and the gods are nothing more than that
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked.
Du Ruhui said: "Flowers in the air? This kind of existence is like a fairy! If it's true, then it's God! ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't let us go!"
Yu Wenshi said.
As for Liu Hongji, after being punished last time, everything about Li Chengqian seems to have become less talkative.
"When did this king deceive you?"
Li Chengqian asked rhetorically.
Yu Wenshi and speechless.
Li Shimin also asked: "Is there really such a flower in this world that can fly in the sky?" ”
"Your Majesty, ministers, you will find out in a moment."
Li Chengqian doesn't know how to describe it to everyone, because this kind of thing can't be described.
Seeing is believing, and what you say is really hard to describe.
"It's good! Let's see what kind of existence the flowers flying in the sky are! ”
Li Shimin said.
The ministers should be.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute, let the retainer go upstairs and say a few words! Declare His Majesty's love for the people to the people! ”
Li Chengqian will not miss this good opportunity, and he must go up and say a few words when he says anything, otherwise how can people know that he did all this? What about points?
"Accurate!"
Isn't it just two sentences?
And he praised Li Shimin, of course Li Shimin said yes. Li Shimin didn't think too much about it.
And Li Chengqian went to the city tower.
Above the castle tower, a large number of fireworks are lined up.
This time, he prepared each large box of fireworks with hundreds of rounds.
Say whatever you want.
Otherwise, how can he be worthy of the points he has claimed?
Anyway, these things are very cheap things, and he wants as much as he wants.
When he stepped on the tower.
At this time, the people outside the Suzaku Gate were already in a lot of commotion.
They looked at the tower, which seemed to have changed little except for the bright lights. Some people are even leaving, after all, after waiting for so long and nothing has changed, patience has been worn out.
When they found Li Chengqian on the city tower, they cried out.
"Look, it's His Royal Highness the Prince!".
Li Chengqian's appearance caused a sensation.
All eyes were on him.
