After Luoyang was recovered, and An Qingxu fled to Xiangzhou, the connection between the Tang court and Jiangzhou was finally dredged, and in November, one million stone grain and five million salt taxes transported from Jianghuai arrived in Chang'an through the Tianbao Canal.

On this day, the Si Ning Wangfu Zhang Lantern Festival to celebrate the full moon of the eldest grandson, this is the only grandson of Li Lin, the king of Si Ning, and it is the most expensive that Chang Li Zhao got married for ten years, of course, it is not from the wife, and the woman can't lay an egg for ten years.

It is said that the child's mother is a personal maid of Li Zhao, and soon after giving birth, she got puerperal fever and died, but no one cares about this, King Ning is the eldest son of Li Xian, King Ning, and Li Zhao is the eldest grandson, and this baby child is naturally the great-grandson of King Ning, and the bloodline is very noble.

After the king burned incense and changed clothes, washed his hands in the jade basin, he worshipped the ancestors of the Li family, and on the day before his full moon, the child was officially named Yi, and Zongzheng Siqing was also full of thick ink, and personally added a small 'Yi' word to the main book of the Li family tree, and the emperor's reward immediately followed, and Li Yi was named the captain of the light car, Gao Lingbo, and his father, Li Zhao, a scholar, was also promoted several levels, and was promoted to the history of Suzhou Thorn, realizing his long-cherished wish for many years as an official.

It was full of glory for a while, but everyone knew that I am afraid that this is still because Li Lin has an ambiguous son-in-law, and it is ambiguous because of Li Xiang's marriage, and second, Li Jingyan is still a nun in Ganye Temple?

However, Li Yu's other holy decree was also issued in time, respecting Li Dazhai, the father of Li Qing, the right minister, as the prince of Jingyuan County, and made it clear to the world that although Li Qing and Li Jingyan have the same surname, they are not of the same clan, and they can be pardoned for the crime of Li Xiang's marriage, and Li Jingyan is allowed to return to the world from the Ganye Temple, officially marry Li Qing, and in addition to the title of Pingyang County Lord, he was named Mrs. Song Guo and Li Qing's second wife.

The contradictions in all aspects seem to have been resolved, and everyone is happy. This full moon wine is also very grand, from the morning before dawn, the Si Ning Wangfu sent more than a dozen carriages to Chang'an to give porridge, so that the poor people are also touched by his joy, no! It should be to let the child be impoverished, and it is said that it is easy to feed.

As soon as the day dawned, there was an endless stream of officials who came to celebrate, and the carriage stopped on the street in front of the mansion for a long time, the sound of firecrackers and horns shook the sky, and from time to time family members came out to scatter a round of money. Hundreds of children were snatched again and again.

Li Lin was wearing a bright red robe and stood at the door to greet the guests, his face almost smiled like a flower, he was greeting Tai Zhan Shi Li Mi, and suddenly saw another carriage stop, and Yan Zhenqing, the new servant in civilian clothes, bowed his head and came out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Lord Sacrificial Wine is very happy today, Yan Zhenqing is here to congratulate." ”

Li Lin greeted him with a smile. took his hand and said: "Yan Shilang can come in person, make Pengbi shine, today is the full moon of his grandson, Yan Shilang is not allowed to return if he is not drunk!" ”

At this time, a person next to him suddenly interjected: "I heard that Yan Shilang likes to splash ink calligraphy when he is drunk, so I will wait next to me today, and my father-in-law should prepare more good banner paper!" ”

The two turned around and saw Li Qing, the right minister, standing aside with his hands in his hands. Looking at them with a smile, Yan Shilang was startled, and hurriedly went over to salute, at this time Li Mi also stepped forward, he looked Li Qing up and down, and saw that he was wearing a light cyan wide-body Zen robe and a small linen hat, looking very idle. Li Mi couldn't help laughing and said: "Today is also Li Xiangguo's family matter, why does it seem that he is here to drink?" ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "I arrived early in the morning and said that I would welcome guests for my father-in-law, but he said that if I welcome guests, the gate will be blocked, and it seems that it is unseemly to serve tea and water. I had to wait for the banquet to start drinking! ”

Everyone laughed together. "Let the right phase bring tea and water. It's so interesting, but who dares to drink it! ”

Then. Yan Zhenqing went in first, while Li Lin went to welcome the new guests, Li Mi saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered to Li Qing: "Pei Xiangguo is seriously ill, I'm afraid time is running out, has Xiangguo considered the successor of Zuo Xiang?" ”

Li Qing glanced at him, and saw that his gaze was a little unnatural, and he understood that he hoped that he could make a step, needless to say, Li Yu wanted him to succeed him as the left minister.

Li Qing remained silent, and only smiled faintly: "Although the successor of Zuo Xiang is recommended by Li Qing, it still needs to be discussed by the cabinet, and finally the emperor can make a decision, but although Pei Xiangguo is seriously ill, he has not yet resigned, so I am afraid it is inappropriate for us to talk about this matter now." ”

Li Mi heard him say it tactfully, so he had to laugh dryly and said: "Today is the full moon of the eldest grandson of King Xining, it is indeed inappropriate to talk about this matter, Li Mi has not thought it through, so I won't say it!" Do not say! ”

At this time, a few more carriages came, but it was the fifth Qi of the household department and Miao Jinqing and several other household officials who came together, they saw Li Qing at a glance, and hurriedly came forward to greet them, but they ignored Li Mi, and did not even say hello.

The time gradually reached noon, the lobby that can accommodate thousands of people on Li Lin's house was already full of guests, talking and laughing loudly, everyone found their own place to sit down, a team of maids and family members shuttled between the guests, some served food, some poured wine for the guests, and the guests were drinking slowly, while chatting with the people next to them.

There are some clever officials, and they also carefully observe the seating arrangement, King Ning is the father-in-law of the right minister, such a major gathering, how can the seat arrangement not be handed over to him for a look, especially Pei Kuan is seriously ill, the position of the left minister will definitely be given up, maybe you can see a little clue from this seating arrangement.

The banquet is arranged vertically, divided into columns, three columns on the left and right, male guests on the right, female guests on the left, men and women sit opposite each other.

There is a long open space in between, and a group of dancing girls are dancing.

The first arrangement on the right is Pei Kuan's position, Pei Kuan is seriously ill, and his eldest replacement comes, but he doesn't dare to sit in the first place, and the chief is now sitting on the fifth Qi of the Hubu Shangshu, and everyone can't help but wonder about this arrangement, could it be that the fifth Qi is the left minister? A few of the impatient ones had already begun to turn their heads into each other's ears.

At the top there was another row of seats, seated by the host and some guests of high status

Of course, it is the master Li Lin, who is close to his right, who should be the biological father of the child, but sits on the right Li Qing, but everyone is relieved when they think about it, Li Qing is the child's uncle, of course Li Zhao has to give up the position to him, and below Li Qing is not the biological father of the child, but the eternal king Li Lan. Below is Li Yu, the heir of Zong Zhengqing, the king of Lu, and then Li Zhao, the biological father of the child, I saw that his face was calm, and he couldn't see any joy.

However, the appearance of the Yongwang surprised many people, after the new emperor ascended the throne, all the emperor's grandsons who fled with the Emperor Taishang were closely guarded by soldiers, and they were not allowed to go out of the palace one step, almost disappeared, and the sudden appearance of Yongwang Li Lan today does not mean that the political situation will change?

Yongwang Li Xuan remained silent, in fact, his heart was also full of doubts. Since noon the day before yesterday, more than 100 soldiers guarding his place suddenly withdrew, without any warning in advance, everyone did not know what had happened, and it was not until yesterday morning that there were still no soldiers guarding them, and Li Lan finally understood that he was free. He immediately got into a carriage and walked around Chang'an City beautifully, and even the streets and alleys that he usually disdained became so beautiful.

However, when his heart calmed down a little, he suddenly became puzzled, he knew that the soldiers guarding him were sent by Li Qing, and from their usual conversations, he knew only the general and did not know the emperor's Anxi army. And why did Li Qing want to let himself go free, could it be that he had a kind heart? Or guarding himself no longer makes sense, he has never been able to guess.

Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly received an invitation from Li Lin, inviting him to participate in his grandson's full moon party, he had a good relationship with Li Lin, in order to solve the mystery of happiness, he was invited to come. Unexpectedly, he happened to sit next to Li Qing.

"Your Highness's face is ruddy and radiant, it seems that it has been well maintained in the past few months!" Li Qing smiled and picked up a glass of wine and toasted to Li Lan.

Li Lan was resentful, but he didn't dare to offend Li Qing, so he had to pick up the wine glass and reluctantly salute him, and said coldly: "A few months ago, I described it as withered and dead, but it has only gradually recovered since the day before yesterday. Greetings from the country. Li Lan understood it.

Li Qing was not angry. only smiled faintly and said: "It seems that His Highness has misunderstood, Li Qing sent troops to protect His Highness's family from harm." It doesn't mean anything else. ”

Li Lan drank all the wine in his hand, slammed the wine glass on the table and said, "Then why don't you send troops to protect it now?" ”

Li Qing took a sip of wine, and said unhurriedly: "Now that the battle of Xiangzhou is imminent, the supply of troops is tense, so I have to wronged the princes. ”

Li Lan was stunned for a moment, 'Trainer Ding self-protection', this is an extremely obscure sentence, if it is understood in the past, this is to tell him that he can raise some private troops or samurai, but what does Li Qing mean by this sentence now? But it made him feel confused.

At this time, there was a small commotion at the small door next to him, only to see more than a dozen women pouring in from outside, walking in front of Li Zhao's wife Pei Shi, next to her nurse holding a swaddling baby in her hand, according to the rules of the full moon wine, this is today's full moon The little protagonist appeared, Li Lin immediately stood up and walked up quickly, he carefully took the swaddling clothes from the nurse's hand, walked to the first seat and smiled and gave the fifth Qi, Wei Jiansu and others a quick look, although the rules were not broken, But the child's face was covered with a gauze scarf, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but Fifth Qi immediately concluded: "The appearance is delicate and magnificent, and the sex is calm, and he will be able to do great things in the future!" ”

The appearance of the delicate atmosphere is the imagination in his mind, as for the sexual calm, of course, the child is sleeping sweetly, it is strange if he is not calm!

Perhaps because she was afraid that the smell of alcohol in the lobby would spoil the child, without waiting for a few curious female guests to come up to take a look, Li Lin hurriedly handed the child to the nurse and ordered her to take it away quickly.

This full moon wine lasted until the afternoon before it gradually dispersed, Li Lan was a little drunk, hurriedly got into the carriage and drove to the palace, he still lives in the Ten Princes' Mansion, the Ten Princes' Mansion is actually a place name, it is also called Yongfufang, located in the northeast corner of Chang'an, is the first square of Chang'an, and there are more than the Ten Wangfu and Baisunyuan living in it, a large number of ordinary people also live in it.

When the luck is restored, the confidence of the people of Chang'an is regained, the streets of each square are very lively, Yongfu Fang is no exception, the wine shop on the street has already been full of drinking guests, the street is even more lively, the dancing bearded girl, the merchant who sells groceries, the Jianghu people who sell art, the down-and-out samurai, can be seen everywhere, Li Lan is half lying in the carriage, but his eyes are through the bamboo curtain, looking at everything on the street dizzily, it is these happy little people who make the whole street full of vitality.

Just when there were still a hundred steps away from the Yongwang Mansion, there was a burst of applause from the street corner. Li Lan looked through the curtain of the car, but was attracted by a pair of entertaining brothers, he immediately ordered the carriage to stop, and he watched the brothers perform intently.

I saw that the two of them were about twenty-four or five years old, dressed very shabby, and there were no props used in the performance, but they just pulled two ropes between a few trees, and the brothers jumped on the rope at the same time with a somersault, pulled out their swords and fought on the rope.

Even Li Lan was moved, he had also raised samurai, but none of those samurai could compare with these two young people, Li Lan's love for talent suddenly rose, he waved his hand, and said to the guards who were approaching: "You wait for a while, when these two young people are finished performing, ask them if they are willing to be my guards, if you want, you will bring them to me immediately, but if you are unwilling, don't force it."

After a while, two young people were brought over, they knelt down and kowtowed to Li Luan, and said, "Our names are Liu Sanlang and Liu Shilang, and we are willing to serve the prince!" ”
