In a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is the annual Shangyuan Festival.

At night, Chang'an City is lit up with lights. The Imperial City, the Imperial City, the East and West Markets, the Twelve Gates, and the One Hundred and Eight Squares were all hung with brand-new red lanterns, and the whole city was illuminated red.

Imperial relatives, princes and ministers, ordinary people, pedestrians, merchants, peddlers and pawns, all gathered in this prosperous Chang'an city to celebrate the annual Shangyuan Festival.

In order to celebrate the festival, Li Yuan specially ordered to cancel the night ban in Chang'an City, and only ordered General Jinwu to maintain law and order in Chang'an City.

There are lanterns everywhere, music and dancing in the streets, and colorful fireworks that resound in the sky, and the restaurants in the street market are boiling all night long, boiling the cauldron of Lantern Festival. There are thousands of empty alleys in Chang'an City, and the streets are crowded with people, and they are very lively.

If you want to say that it is lively, you have to count Suzaku Street as the most, Li Yuan specially ordered the musicians and dancers of Taichang Temple to perform on the street, and he wanted to have fun with the people.

Li Yuan served as a palace guard when he was young, and he was very fond of Hu Le. In addition to the nine-part music of Taichang Temple, musicians from the Western Regions Bai Mingda, An Qinu and others have performed on stage one after another.

Joy is like nature, dancing is like a fairy tour. Although the guards of the capital could not leave their posts without permission, their two ears had already spread out to Suzaku Street with the graceful tune.

The common people have never seen the music and dance performances of the palace, and the streets on both sides of the street are crowded with men, women and children, and even the attics, temples and even walls and branches on the streets are crowded with people who are infatuated to watch the excitement......

Royal style, graceful and magnificent. Li Yuan issued an edict, and all members of the royal family, princes and ministers and their relatives came to the Suzaku Gate together.

Li Yuan is now full of children and grandchildren, with more than 100 people in his family, plus his younger brothers, nephews and other princes, the princes of the county, and the relatives of important ministers and subordinates, I am afraid that there will be thousands of people.

With such a large orchestra, even Suzaku Street, which is a few feet wide, seems a little crowded.

Li Yuan was dressed in a gorgeous yellow robe, his hair and beard had just been dyed with black ink, and he looked as if he was ten years younger.

In order to show solemnity, he deliberately wore a crown of heaven. Zhang Jieyu, who lives on the right, is also a phoenix crown in a gorgeous costume, with bright eyes and bright teeth. The royal family and the courtiers were also dressed in new clothes and looked refreshed.

Li Yuan hugged his eldest grandson, Li Chengzong, while tasting the palace food, while enjoying the music and dance, the princes, courtiers, and people present were also happy.

For a time, the fireworks rang out, the dragon danced and tossed, juggled and competed, lit the lamp and guessed the riddle, so happy.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of the Shangyuan Festival, forgetting the passage of time and forgetting that danger was coming!

……

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! "A few powerful crossbows flew in the night sky and flew straight towards Li Yuan and his eldest grandson.

Li Yuan was a person who had experienced a great battle, but his own grandson's crossbow still shocked him.

He hurriedly ordered the forbidden army to step forward to escort him, and the nearby guards and forbidden troops rushed to him, surrounding Li Yuan's face tightly.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng snatched the bow and crossbow from the hands of the forbidden army, and shot a few arrows quickly in the direction of the crossbow, only to hear a miserable scream, someone fell from the attic, and died on the spot.

When the people saw this, they rushed home, and some were trampled to death by the crowd because they couldn't even dodge.

Even the musicians were in a panic and dispersed.

In the blink of an eye, only the guards of the forbidden army and the princes and ministers were left and right on Suzaku Street. When the imperial physician ordered the edict to arrive, he found that the arrows were coated with poison, and it was too late......

Li Yuan hugged the body of his eldest grandson, in pain. This child has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is most loved by Li Yuan. Now only a little more than ten years old, he is both benevolent and brave, and has shown superhuman insight.

Li Yuan deeply felt that there were successors to the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect such a sudden change to happen tonight. White-haired people send black-haired people, how many elders can not be sad?

Even so, Li Yuan, who has experienced too many accidents, is still calm. Zhang Jieyu on the side was already frightened!

After a while, the forbidden army brought the letter found from the assassin - "Tang Gong, I haven't seen you for three years, don't come unharmed!" My father and brother are deeply favored by the Great Sui, and I don't want to see you usurp the Yang family. Tonight's events should be warned. If we withdraw our troops from Luoyang, you and I should be fine. If not, the next autumn will be high and fat, that is, you will wait for the sacrifice day! ”

- The Great Khan of the Turks

Li Yuan read it and was furious.

shouted: "Jieli Qian's donkey skills are poor, use this kind of subordinate means!" The society has its own heaven and the people's heart, how can you change it? ”

It's just that he picked up his grandson's body, and his mood was a little heavier. Li Yuan, who is more than half a hundred years old and has traveled in the sea and fought horses for most of his life, can only hide his pain in his heart at this moment.

The world kisses me with pain, and I will repay it with a song. Datang! It is the society of the people of the world.

He is a banner, the hope of the people of the world, the oath to create peace, and the destination of all the people in the world.

There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and the choice of life and death is no longer a matter of one person.

As the lord of the Tang Dynasty, how easy is it to create a situation of peace in the world?

Only by moving forward bravely can we live up to all the efforts and burdens over the years......
