"Temple。。。。。 Seventh Young Master, please inside, according to the requirements of the Seventh Young Master, you have chosen a private room facing the river, and when you open the window, you will see the river. ”

On the night of Shangyuan, Li Ye took his women, a few maids, and eunuchs, under the protection of the plain clothes of the royal army, to a restaurant located not far from the riverside street. The name of the restaurant is Tianxiangju, and it is the Qiao'er girl who followed He Dong to Shannan West Road to greet Li Ye and his party at the door, and the other party is still dressed in red.

"What about He Dong?" Li Ye got out of the carriage and looked at Tianxiangju, which was still relatively lively, and asked curiously.

"Second Young Master, he is greeting guests inside, and Rong Nuwen will send someone to inform him." Qiao'er, who was smiling like a flower, hurriedly instructed Xiao Er next to her, and then after a while, He Dong, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, ran over and saluted Li Ye.

"Qiao'er, you go and greet the other guests, I'll come here from the Seventh Young Master."

So Li Ye and his entourage, under the leadership of He Dong, walked towards the upper floor of Tianxiangju. This Tianxiangju has a total of three floors, which is not repaired, but from the previous owner of the restaurant, and then after almost a month of decoration and modification, it officially opened for business on Shangyuan Night.

Because He Dong brought over a lot of cooks and handymen from several Tianxiangju in Chengdu Prefecture, and then recruited a few cooks and some handymen locally, he was able to open on the Shangyuan night.

I have to pass He Dong does have a business mind, and the brand-new Tianxiangju has become the largest and best restaurant in Lizhou. In addition, the curfew is canceled tonight, and many people in the city come out to play, and when they see the beautifully decorated Tianxiangju, they will naturally walk in with curiosity to find out.

With a total population of only 170,000 and a total population of six counties, Lizhou was established in Miangu County, which was built close to the Jialing River.

Miangu County has a large population because it is the seat of the state, but it is less than 80,000 people, which is the population of the whole county. Of course, with the arrival of the Shouwang Mansion and the Tiance Army, the population increased by more than 10,000. At this time, Lizhou City, plus the increase in population in the last one or two months, is less than 40,000 people, even if there will be many people outside the city tonight, but the liveliness can not be compared with Chengdu.

In this era, the city is like this, and there are basically not many people. Let's just say that in the other five counties under the jurisdiction of Lizhou, there are still people with a population of less than 10,000, and the county seat may be the size of a small township in later generations, and it will be done in one street. It's not a joke, it's just what it is.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Chenyan's daughters have been in poor interest. Even if you sit on the third floor of Tianxiangju and look at the lights outside, it is only a few dozen feet nearby, and you can visit the most lively place in Lizhou City in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Zhang Wei, is Chengye ready?" Seeing that the girls were not in good spirits, Li Ye asked Zhang Wei on the side in a low voice.

"Back to Your Highness, it's ready, I've tried it before, and it's all right. As long as the time said by His Royal Highness comes, that thing will definitely make several princesses happy. Zhang Wei assured.

"That's good, if Yan'er and they are happy tonight, they will be rewarded." Li Ye said.

"The old slave has thanked His Highness for the reward." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go down!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei said a few words to Li Ye and went downstairs, Li Xianglan, who was sitting on Liu Chenyan's right, asked curiously, "What is Your Highness whispering to Gonggong Zhang?" It doesn't matter how many concubines there are. ”

Li Ye smiled and said, "Lan'er won't eat Zhang Wei's vinegar, right?" This king has prepared a gift for you, let Zhang Wei urge you. ”

"What gift?" Li Xianglan said curiously.

"I can't say it now, and there will be no surprises if I say it." Li Ye said.

"Hmph, I shouldn't have come out if I knew it, this Shangyuan Festival in Lizhou is not fun at all." Although Liu Chenyan, who was taught a good lesson by Li Ye in bed last night, the scar was healed at this time and the pain was forgotten.

"Don't worry, princess, I have prepared some fun for His Royal Highness and the princesses."

He Dong on the side immediately clapped his hands, and everyone saw that several dancers suddenly walked to the open space in the middle of the hall in the hall on the first floor, and the guzheng next to them danced as soon as the guzheng sounded. For singing and dancing, Liu Chenyan and the girls have also seen a lot, and they are women, and they are repulsive of the same sex, so they don't have a good attitude towards the dancers below, let alone mention their interest.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Accustomed to seeing the Shangyuan night of Chengdu Mansion, when they came to the remote place of Lizhou, the girls naturally did not adapt to it, looking at the sky outside, it was already dark, and it was almost time away.

For tonight's Shangyuan Night, Li Ye also spent a lot, just to win the hearts of several girls, and I don't know if he becomes the emperor, will he be scolded as a faint king?

。。。。。。

Lizhou City is on the east bank of the Jialing River, Tianxiangju is close to a street on the east bank of the Jialing River, dozens of zhang away is the ferry, so the location is excellent. On the west bank of the Jialing River, there are basically farmlands and villages, but there is also a temple on the opposite side of the river in Tianxiangju, called Huangze Temple.

Huangze Temple was originally called the Sichuan Temple, Wu Zetian period, because it was born in the Sichuan Temple, so it was renamed Huangze Temple, there is "the emperor's grace is vast, Ze and the hometown" meaning. Different from other temples, this temple does not worship monks, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, but enshrines Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, there are special Zetian Temple, there are also two temples, among which the Tiandian has Wu Zetian Zhenrong stone carving.

In addition to these two, there were other ministers of the Wu Zetian period, such as Di Renjie and Shangguan Wan'er.

However, after the restoration of Li Tang, this official temple has been in a semi-deserted state, after all, who dares to repair and usurp the Wu Zetian temple in Li Tang's world. However, there are some nuns in the temple, but the incense is not in full bloom.

At this time, on the riverside under Huangze Temple, a group of soldiers were standing on the periphery with torches, and near the river, there were rows of square cardboard boxes. As the newly established Ordnance Division, Zhang Chengye and Shaocheng Qingyangzi.

"Be careful, don't knock it down, it's all gunpowder, hold the torches farther away, and keep them away from each other."

Qingyangzi was directing a group of Taoist priests and miscellaneous servants dressed up to set up the scene, and Zhang Chengye, who was not far away, was talking to a little eunuch.

"Uncle, the father-in-law called the child over to urge, saying that His Highness asked how the preparations were, and the princesses were in a hurry." The little eunuch said anxiously.

"Zhang Cheng, you go back and tell His Highness, just say that everything is ready, and when the time comes, you can start." Zhang Chengye assured.

"Okay, then I'll go back. His Royal Highness said that as long as the princesses are happy, everyone will be rewarded tonight. Although he was curious about what the square box was, Zhang Cheng knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he didn't ask, but came to the dock and took a boat to report to the other side.

Zhang Cheng's name is Wang Cheng, one of the two eunuchs who fled to Chengdu Mansion with Li Ye a few years ago, and the other is naturally Zhang Wei. Wang Chengcheng was the little eunuch who drove the carriage at that time, and soon after he came to Chengdu Mansion, he was accepted by Zhang Wei as his righteous son, so he changed his name to Zhang Cheng.

Li Ye is very nostalgic, and naturally remembers the little eunuch who drove a carriage for him for a month, so he also attaches great importance to him, although he does not hold any official position, but he has been following Zhang Wei to serve Li Ye, and he has won Li Ye's trust.

Although Li Ye didn't want eunuchs to interfere in politics, and he didn't like eunuchs, as a product of the entire feudal society, it was impossible for him not to use it. The eunuchs who followed him to Lizhou added up to hundreds of people, most of them were in the palace, and the others were in the Ordnance Department and other workshops.

"Your Excellency, the hour has come!" A eunuch next to him reminded.

Zhang Chengye took a fire fold and looked at Qingyangzi on the side, "Dao Chief, do you order first, or do we order first?" ”

Qingyangzi said with a smile, "Naturally, Lord Si Cheng is the first, and the poor Dao is second." ”

"Then you're welcome!"

Zhang Chengye was naturally polite just now, and as he spoke, he opened the fire fold and blew the fire fold, and flames appeared in the fire fold. Then Zhang Chengye took the fire fold, came to the first cardboard box, and lit the long lead.

Although it is not the first time to order this, Zhang Chengye is still nervous, you must know that the box contains gunpowder. Although he didn't know how to make gunpowder, he had seen the power of gunpowder, and his heart was a little weak.

In the dark night of the torches, the lead began to burn rapidly with sparks and smoke, while the surrounding workers and Taoist priests quickly retreated to the side, including Zhang Chengye.

Soon, the lead burned out, and there was a brief silence on the scene, and just when many people thought it was a failure, suddenly there was a 'tom', and a small fireball flew straight into the sky with a string of sparks and smoke from the cardboard box.

The thrust generated by the gunpowder pushed the fireball into the sky more than ten feet and then exploded with a 'bang', hearing this sound, everyone at the scene couldn't help but tremble.

Then they looked up and saw an unforgettable image, a brilliant firework blooming in the sky!
