Chapter 1825: A Different Chinese New Year's Eve (Middle)

It is worth mentioning that during this visit, the people of Chang'an were fortunate to witness the true face of the imperial study.

This was the first time they felt so close to the Emperor, and looking at the neatly arranged items in the room, they seemed to see His Majesty the Emperor sitting there discussing issues with his ministers, and as if they could see the seriousness of His Majesty the Emperor's review of the folds.

With further visits, as the footsteps of the people walked through various places in the palace little by little, the image of the Tang Emperor became more real in their minds little by little, and it was no longer just a vague concept as before.

In the end, I don't know who may have made him too excited about the process of visiting, and he actually raised his arms and shouted: Datang, Wansheng! My Emperor, Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng!

There was a slight stunned feeling in the crowd, but soon all of them joined the ranks. In an instant, the splendid Tang Palace sounded the sound of 'Wansheng' like a tsunami!

With this sound, a ceremonial flower rose into the night sky, and after a loud bang, a dazzling light bloomed in the night sky, and the Chinese New Year's Eve ceremony officially began at this moment.

……

Li Chengqian's position is directly in front of the Taiji Palace, and on his side are his wives, and in front of him are the Tang generals who have made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, and those civil and military officials.

After nearly ten years of fighting on the battlefield, they were finally able to return to China, which made these generals who fought for the country almost suspicious in their dreams.

Looking back at everything around him, looking at the palace as bright as a galaxy, and looking at the excited faces of the people who entered the palace to visit, a feeling called pride arose.

Just like His Majesty the Emperor said in the hall just now, if they were not fighting abroad, Datang would not have such a prosperous era as it is today; If they hadn't been out on the battlefield, the people wouldn't have the happy smiles they have today; If they had not been in the foreign wars, there would be no kingdoms today.

Oh no, there will be no Wanbang in the future, because Wanbang only existed in the past, and now they are all Tang Dynasty people, there is no distinction between alien race and native race, they all live under the wing of His Majesty the Tang Emperor.

And unlike the young generals below, the veteran ruffians were squeezing their eyebrows and making eye contact at this time.

These old scumbags are old and old, and Li Chengqian has no good way to restrain them, anyway, as long as these old men don't fight in front of the people who are visiting outside.

No way, there are too many people this year, and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet cannot be held at all in the Taiji Hall, so Li Chengqian very simply moved the banquet outside and made it a Western-style buffet situation.

In the entire palace, whether it is civil and military officials or ordinary people, they can all participate in it, and as long as they are hungry, they can come and eat freely.

Of course, the food is not particularly exquisite, there are no delicacies from the mountains and the sea, there are just a few ordinary pastries and some fine wine and drinks, after all, on such a day, few people run to the palace to have a good appetite.

In addition, there is another point that too luxurious life actually does not have a good impact, and it will leave a very bad impression on the people who come to visit, which is contrary to Li Chengqian's original idea and is not advisable.

……

But despite this, it has also opened the eyes of the people.

All kinds of palace pastries have a fatal attraction to those children, and some adults are often more reserved, facing the fruit handed by the children, only a symbolic taste, and then stuffed back into the children's mouths.

The things are actually not very delicious, but when they are related to the royal family, they naturally become delicacies, and in fact, those pastries are not as delicious as the vegetarian buns in the ordinary small restaurant outside the palace.

However, these are no longer important, the important thing is to be happy, looking at the smiling faces of the people around him, Li Chengqian has an indescribable satisfaction.

……

It is worth mentioning here that Li Chengqian also invited all the old people over seventy years old in the entire Chang'an City, regardless of men and women, at this time he had already walked down the high hall, crowded in the middle of a group of old people, and greeted one by one.

When I met someone with inflexible legs and feet, I asked about the condition, and I gave a thumbs up and praised when I met a spirited person, in short, I didn't snub anyone.

In ancient times, there were not many old people who could live past seventy, and the entire Chang'an City was counted, excluding those who really couldn't come, and the number of people who could enter the Taiji Palace was no more than fifty.

This had to make Li Chengqian express serious dissatisfaction with Datang Medical College, looking at the little old man with a sneering face, if it wasn't for the wrong time, he would have to be dragged out to play the board.

Su Mei followed Li Chengqian's side, and naturally saw that his face was a little unpleasant, and his expression was a little worried, and she took advantage of the fact that there was no one around her and said carefully: "Your Majesty, the concubines are not in good health, and they are not doing comprehensive work in medical treatment. ”

"Xiao Mei, you are a noble person in the palace, what you say is Yi Zhi to the people below, but if you want to do a good job, it is best to go down and take a look, don't just listen to some data reported to you by the people below. After all, seeing is believing, hearing is false, are you right? Li Chengqian whispered to Su Mei.

"Yes, the concubine knows!" Su Mei's face was slightly red.

"Remember this time, after the Yuan Festival is over, first pull these old guys to the medical school for a physical examination, and this will form a welfare, everyone who has reached the age of seventy must have a physical examination twice a year, don't be afraid of trouble, understand?"

"Understood, Your Majesty rest assured, the concubine will do this when she goes back." Su Mei nodded heavily.

……

Squeezed out of a group of old men, Li Chengqian squeezed into a group of people despite everyone's opposition.

When I met someone who came in with a child, I went over to tease it, and then took some small snacks from the pile of fruits on the side and stuffed them into the children's hands, laughing in the sweet and tired thanks of the little doll.

The people of Datang are still simple, and in the face of the supreme rule of Datang, the adults are very restrained, and they are all serious as if they are going to be executed.

Although Li Chengqian didn't like this, he was very satisfied with Du Gou, Ma Zhou and the others, because at least they didn't find some forbidden troops to pretend to be ordinary people to fool themselves.

And in order to express his satisfaction, Li Chengqian specially instructed Kong Wen to prepare some paper and pen as gifts for those children, and when these people leave the palace, anyone with children can receive a copy.
