Chapter 369: Grand Ceremony
Saying Long Aotianwen's words, the room was quiet, the argument was Li Zhi, the fierce public follower, with a group of people who watched the excitement, their eyes all looked at Wang Ping'an, wanting to see what kind of expression Wang Ping'an would have after the victory.
Surprisingly, Wang Ping'an did not show an ecstatic expression, his expression was still calm, as if he had been recognized as the number one medical skill in Chang'an. It's a trivial thing!
Wang Ping'an smiled slightly and said, "Where did Brother Long come from, why should I call you Long Xiaoni, you are called Aotian, not Xiaoni." I'll call you Brother Dragon! ”
Although Long Aotian has a strange personality and is extremely difficult to get along with, there is one thing that is good, if you lose, you lose, and there is absolutely no such thing as not being able to lose!
He shook his head and said, "Brother Wang, the people of Chang'an call you the first in medical skills, and I am very unconvinced. That's what I'm going to do with you.
Now I lost the competition, according to the agreement. If you call me Long Xiaoni, I will never be angry, you can call and leave! ”
Li Zhi smiled: "Being the most generous person without illness is the most generous, so he won't call you Long Xiaoni!" ”
Ouyang Li also laughed on the side, and he said, "Don't call you Long Xiaoni, if you want to call you, call you Long Xiaonizi!" As he spoke, he laughed.
Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "Brother Long." When you made a bet, you must have thought that the word Xiaoni was insulting, so you were angry. Make such a bet with me, how can I call you that when I know these two words will make you unhappy? ”
Long Aotian's face turned better, and he said, "It turns out that Brother Wang thinks this is scolding me?" You're so friendly! After a pause, he added: "Actually, in fact, when I was betting, I kept an eye on it, and the word little mud did not mean insulting to me."
Wang Ping'an sighed and turned his head to look at Li Zhi. Li Zhi blinked his eyes, and felt very strange in his heart, what a proud person Long Aotian is, the word Xiaoni is nothing to others, but for him, it is not an insult, what will it be?
Long Aotian took a deep breath and said a little too honestly: "My original name is not Aotian, I changed it myself after I became successful in medicine, my real name when I was a child" The real name is Xiao Mu! ”
Everyone upstairs exclaimed in unison, wouldn't it, the famous Long Aotian, whose real name is actually called Long Xiaoni? How have I never heard of it before!
Li Zhi couldn't close his eyes together, and said with a look of surprise: "How can anyone call Xiaoni on these." Who gave you the name? ”
Long Aotian said unabashedly: "The parents took it, and it was originally called Gou Yu'er, and such a name is easy to feed." The dogs are leftover, the dogs are disgusted, and they all pick the remaining people, and the Lord of Yama will naturally not want it. Later, I met my teacher, and he thought that the dog was not elegant enough, so he named me mud, the word breath earth! ”
Everyone upstairs laughed together, it turned out that his real name was Mud, and he must have been young. Both his parents and Master called him Xiao Ni. This kid seems to be stupid, but he is actually very thoughtful, his bet method is equivalent to losing, and it becomes the same as not losing!
Wang Ping'an shook his head with a smile, he really didn't expect that Long Aotian, such a bullish person, would even call Gou Yu'er! But to put it mildly, the name of the dog leftover is very good, and the meaning of parents caring for their children is fully revealed. It is to let the child live a healthy life. Live a long life!
Li Zhi looked at Long Aotian and suddenly said, "So you're not stupid?" ”
Long Aotian laughed dryly twice and said, "Your Highness, how can you think I'm stupid? ”
Wang Ping'an asked, "Brother Long, presumably you don't have the surname Long, right?" What exactly is your last name? ”
Long Aotian shook his head and said: "We didn't bet on the surname at the beginning, just the name of the bet!" ”
Wang Ping'an shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask. Jiyang Li said: "Long Xiaonizi, I really didn't bet on my surname, but I gambled and ran around the Chang'an city wall!" Well, are you going to run now? ”
Long Aotian smiled. "I didn't say I wouldn't run." But pay attention, just like betting on eating this table, I only say to eat, Wang Ping'an said to eat whenever you want. That's why I said to run bare-chested, but I didn't say when I would run! small
Li Zhi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Come on." No disease, it seems that you are not the only one who planned to cheat. Long Xiaoni is not stupid than you at all. He's already had a plan, and he's going to promise that he's going to plan it sooner than you! ”
Wang Ping'an laughed and reached out to hold Long Aotian's hand. said: "Okay, okay, okay!" Brother Long, little brother admires, you just look a little muna, but in fact, there are a lot more flowers and intestines in your belly than me! ”
"Prizes, prizes!" Long Aotian smiled: "Although I lost the gamble, I have improved my medical skills. I know the usage of radish seeds and croton, and I also see your method of applying inflammation. To tell you the truth, acupuncture is the weakest point of my medical skills. I didn't ask you today, you taught me a trick! ”
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "No." You can't rely on it like this, it's okay to run around the city wall bare-chested, but you have to go bare-chested to order an oil pot, and if you don't want to order it, then Gu will give the order. Let the guards strip you naked, throw you out of the city, and force you to run! ”
When the people upstairs heard such a lively look, they applauded and shouted: "Your Highness is wise, let him run, you have to let him run naked!" ”
Long Aotian was a little scared, how could he be in the mood to care about Zhuo outside these days, he didn't know about the Olympics, I heard that it was such a dangerous thing to ask for an oil pot. Can he not be afraid!
Wang Ping'an glanced out and said, "I've been busy for a long time, it's not early, if you rush to Xuanwu Gate now, it is estimated that when you get to the city gate, it will be almost dark!" ”
He held Long Aotian's hand and said with a smile: "Brother Long, don't worry, Your Highness is joking with you." It's not that big frying pan, it's a big headlight, a big one! He didn't know what the lamp looked like, he didn't see the real thing, so he had to say something vaguely.
Long Aotian nodded at this time, Wang Ping'an's words have always been scored, if he said that there was no danger, then there must be no danger.
It's strange to say, after Long Aotian was stimulated by Wang Ping'an's "wildness", he actually had a sense of closeness to Wang Ping'an, he didn't accept anyone, but once he obeyed anyone, then who would say anything. He listened to something. Like Li Zhi, he trusts Wang Ping'an very much, which may be related to Wang Ping'an's always gentle and polite personality that can think about others!
Looking at the people upstairs, Wang Ping'an said: "Let's be here today, I know that there are a lot of patients who come to seek medical treatment today, but isn't there a running meeting, I can't spare time" or so, it is better to work the first and fifteenth days of the new year of each month, and the colleagues of the Tai Medical Department work harder, and provide free medical treatment for the people, and the consultation fee will not be collected from the people, only prescriptions will be prescribed, and the people can go to the cooked pharmacy to buy a curse, and the business of the cooked pharmacy can also be taken care of. What do you think? ”
He didn't ask the doctors, because there were too many doctors, and the more people there were, the more ideas, maybe someone would have to object. I even have to have a meeting to study it. That's so troublesome, just ask Li Zhi, what do you say anyway. Li Zhi will agree, quite obedient to a child!
Sure enough, Li Zhi nodded and said, "Good idea, it makes sense to say that there is no disease, so let's do it!" ”
The doctors grinned, and everyone thought in their hearts: "I know that you have no opinion, you are right about what Wang Ping'an said, and the free clinic is very hard!" ”
Wang Ping'an grabbed Long Aotian and said, "Come, Brother Long, let's accompany the prince to Xuanwu Gate, there will be a grand gathering there tonight, let's accompany the prince to have a look!" ”
Long Aotian didn't want to go, he said, "I have to go back to do the dialectic."
Li Zhi smiled: "What kind of evidence, let's go!" He also grabbed Long Aotian, and Wang Ping'an left and right, almost holding Long Aotian and carrying him downstairs.
The people upstairs saw the end of the competition. Although the result was not unexpected, the little doctor of peace won a big victory. But no one expected that in the last competition, it was Wang Ping'an who cured Long Aotian's illness. The crowd was talking. While following downstairs, they all rushed to the Xuanwu Gate.
Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an went downstairs, and the people who were watching the excitement outside cheered together. Like the people in the building, they all think that Wang Ping'an can win, this result is not unexpected, and what really excites them is that the grand Olympic Games are about to begin!
Li Zhi let go of Long Aotian and got into the carriage first, Wang Ping'an followed him in the same car, and Li Zhi was more or less not too close to Long Aotian, so Long Aotian had to make the car he hired, followed the prince's car, and rushed to Xuanwu Gate.
It is not possible to reach the Xuanwu Gate directly from the East City, you must walk through the two squares to the north, go out of the Tonghua Gate to the east, and then detour from outside the city, so as to reach the Xuanwu Gate. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's not too far!
When I got out of Tonghua Gate, I saw that there were already countless people outside the city, rushing to Xuanwu Gate. The Olympics is a novelty, and everyone wants to see the excitement, so naturally they help the old and the young to watch the lighting ceremony. What this ritual means, few people understand. But if there is excitement, you have to see it, and you must not miss it!
Waiting for the car to drive to the Xuanwu Gate, Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi got out of the car, and saw that the Xuanwu Gate was lit up with lights, and the sky had just darkened, but countless red lanterns had been lit on the city tower, and they were behind the battlements. Erected a wooden frame, pulled up a long rope, each battlement, are hung with lanterns, countless battlements, countless lanterns, the north city wall of Chang'an illuminated a bright, beautiful landscape!
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a luxury. Even on the day of the founding of the country, the first emperor Li Yuan was never willing to put on such a show, there was no money, and the world was not peaceful at that time! And the day Li Shimin ascended the throne. It was not celebrated so much either, when the Turks invaded the side. It's almost Chang'an, and I have neither the money nor the mood to celebrate!
But the Tang Dynasty came out with a Wang Ping'an, as soon as his idea came out, the court could almost be said to have money immediately, and the court didn't have to buy anything, and countless businessmen scrambled for it, as if they were squeezing their heads. Sending money to the imperial court, such as lanterns and candles, if these are purchased by the imperial court alone, it is a large amount of expenditure, and Li Shimin even repaired the palace for himself. is reluctant to spend money, where is he willing to spend money to buy lanterns and whitewash the peace!
Now it's okay, don't be reluctant, because you don't have to give it up at all, you can get it directly!
On the city.
Li Shimin stood in the city tower, looking down with satisfaction, and behind him stood hundreds of civil and military officials, and the eldest grandson Wuji was the closest to him.
Li Shimin turned his head and said, "Wuji, look." Our Chang'an has never been so lively! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji touched his beard and said with a smile: "Yes, even if Yang Guang of the former Sui Dynasty was extravagant to the point of anger and resentment, he didn't have the time to hang so many lanterns." I am in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. Here we go! ”
"Here we go!" Li Shimin nodded slowly and said softly: "The great rivers and mountains, Lian left Zhi'er, the glory of the prosperous world, it is up to him to create!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, how can you say that? The prosperity is brilliant, why wait for the prince to create, you can too! ”
Li Shimin pressed his heart and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, only said: "It's okay to be connected, it's okay to be connected!" He sighed softly.
The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, looked at Emperor Zhou's hand, and thought: "What's wrong with the emperor, the thug said, Xiao Ting was very happy on a day, why did he suddenly say such things?" ”
Under the city.
Long Aotian got out of the carriage, and saw a sea of people at the gate of Xuanwu Gate, and he couldn't count how many people came, anyway, it was full of people at a glance, it was estimated that there were not 100,000, at least 80,000!
Then on the bank of the moat, a wooden frame was erected high, and this wooden frame was seven or eight feet high. The whole body is painted, the red paint light can be seen, and the shelf is draped in red and green, beaming!
Underneath the wooden frame, there is a large drum. And the outer net extends to both sides, and there are countless drums!
At the top of the wooden frame, there is a large iron pot, "No matter how you look at this big iron pot, it is used to cook people, it definitely does not look like a lamp!" Moreover, this large iron pot was actually cast with brass characters and inlaid on the edge of the iron pot. It seems to be the name of a business name, with yellow characters in the black pot, which is very conspicuous!
According to the appearance, Li Zhi is reliable, but Wang Ping'an is outrageous, how can there be such a big lamp in the world! If you put oil in this pot and light it again, it is estimated that you can see the flames ten miles away!
Long Aotian walked towards Wang Ping'an, pointed to the big iron pin, and said, "Brother Wang, the big lamp you said." It can't be this iron pot, right? ”
Wang Ping'an was also looking up at the pot, he didn't answer Long Aotian's words, but asked Li Zhi: "Your Highness, this lamp is too rough." How do I look like the kind of cauldron in the army that cooks food for more than 100 people! small
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, it's that cauldron." The temporary lamp making time is not enough, so I used this cauldron, the words on it are inlaid on the back, and the lamp merchant said, make up an equally big lamp afterwards, but now I can only use the pot to deal with it! ”
After speaking, Li Zhi waved his hand to the guards. The guards immediately dismounted and ran under the wooden frame. A few words to the soldiers by the drum!
The soldiers, who had been ready for a long time, picked up the drumsticks and beat the drums with a bang!
As soon as the drums sounded, the lively people below slowly quieted down and poured into the wooden frame.
Everyone knows that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the largest grand ceremony is about to begin!
