The originally lively hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone hurriedly returned to their places, but the meal was cold early. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing everyone like this, Li Shimin suddenly smiled: "Don't be nervous, I just came over to take a look, you can play how you want, by the way, write down these chess games and tell me." ”

Saying that, Li Shimin looked at Tang Zhou, the meaning couldn't be clearer, what he said just now was said to Tang Zhou, Tang Zhou dared to say a word, and hurriedly responded.

And at this moment, suddenly there was a bell outside, followed by the crowing of chickens.

Hearing the sound of the bell and the rooster, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then realized that they were only playing chess just now, and they didn't pay attention to the time at all, and it was already the New Year.

The New Year is coming, everyone is very excited, and Li Shimin also nodded: "It's time to set off firecrackers, to expel the plague god." ”

This is equivalent to an order, after Li Shimin finished speaking, a eunuch immediately ran out to order, and after a while, the sound of firecrackers was remembered outside.

During the Tang Dynasty, firecrackers were different from those after the Song Dynasty, when there was no gunpowder, and firecrackers were burned with saltpeter in bamboo tubes, and then used to make a sound.

Therefore, the sound outside the main hall is not continuous, and it will only suddenly bang after a while.

However, in addition to the sound of firecrackers in the palace, there are firecrackers everywhere in Chang'an City, but all large families will order people to set off firecrackers after the New Year, after all, it is to get rid of the plague god and take a good omen.

Therefore, the sound of firecrackers comes and goes, although it is incoherent, but it also gives people a sense of coherence, bang......

The New Year is here, the New Year is over, and it's time for everyone to leave, this year's palace banquet is very different from other years, everyone has a lot of fun, but just when everyone is about to leave, Li Shimin suddenly said: "New Year, new atmosphere, when there is a poem, Tang Aiqing, you are my Tang Dynasty talent, how about you write the first poem of the new year?" ”

Everyone looked at Tang Zhou, Tang Zhou was not easy to refuse, and said, "Oh! ”

After a moment of contemplation, he then chanted:

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

After Tang Zhou finished chanting, everyone applauded, and Li Shimin also applauded, so after talking for a while, everyone dispersed one after another.

Tang Zhou, Princess Danyang, and Lin Qingsu took the carriage home, the snow had stopped at this time, and there was a thick layer of snow on Chang'an Street, and there was no one around, which made people feel cold.

The city gate has been closed, and they are afraid that they will not be able to go back, so the three of them drove the carriage directly to the Tanghou Mansion, although the Tanghou Mansion was abandoned by them because it was stained with too much blood, but there are still people here who often clean it, and Tang Zhou sometimes lives here, so as not to need to get up early in the early dynasty.

The three of them lived in the Tanghou Mansion, because they were already very tired in the palace, so they slept after going back, and they slept peacefully this night, but what they didn't know was that when they were sleeping peacefully, a major event happened in the palace, and it was almost messed up.

----------------------------

When the night is deep.

After many royal relatives left, Li Shimin also felt sleepy, and after he returned to the palace, he fell asleep not long after.

But after Li Shimin fell asleep, he had a dream, he dreamed that he came to the Xuanwu Gate.

However, the Xuanwu Gate is not the current Xuanwu Gate, but the Xuanwu Gate when he killed Li Jiancheng.

Li Shimin was very strange, how did he come to this place?

The area around the Xuanwu Gate was very empty, and he was about to enter the city with his eyebrows condensed, but at this time, the picture suddenly changed, and then, the front of the Xuanwu Gate was full of corpses and bloodstains.

There were corpses everywhere, and the city gate was stained with blood, Li Shimin was frightened by this sudden scene, and then saw a person suddenly floating.

The man's hair was disheveled, and at first he couldn't see his face clearly, but a cold wind with the smell of blood blew the man's hair open, and then a bloody face.

But although his face was bloody, Li Shimin still recognized him.

Li ...... Li Jiancheng......"

The floating man laughed: "Li Shimin, you killed your brother and forced your father, and you returned my life......"

Li Jiancheng suddenly rushed towards Li Shimin, Li Shimin panicked and slashed with a knife, but it was useless, he slashed again and again, but for Li Jiancheng, his knife could not cut him at all.

The smell of blood became heavier and heavier, and Li Shimin was crazy and had to chop ......

In the palace, in the imperial study, the eunuch in charge of Li Shimin's sleep saw Li Shimin constantly waving his hands and shouting Li Jiancheng's name, and he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly pushed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a nightmare again?" ”

The eunuch pushed several times but did not wake up, which frightened him, so he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and ask Doctor Sun, please ask Doctor Sun ......"

Since Sun Simiao returned to Chang'an, he lived in the Tai Hospital, the Tai Hospital is very close to the palace, and Sun Simiao came after a while, he glanced at Li Shimin's situation, frowned slightly, and then immediately pierced Li Shimin's acupoint with a silver needle, not long after the silver needle entered the acupoint, Li Shimin slowly quieted down.

After Li Shimin was quiet, Sun Simiao pulled out the silver needle, and as soon as the silver needle was pulled out, Li Shimin woke up, he slowly opened his eyes, and his forehead was full of sweat.

"Holy Lord, you have a nightmare."

Li Shimin nodded, but he didn't want to say a word at this time.

After that, he never fell asleep again.

The New Year is coming, and Chang'an is full of festivities, but since that night, the palace has been depressed everywhere, as if there are many unjust souls in this palace.

Li Shimin rarely sleeps, because as soon as he falls asleep, he dreams of Li Jiancheng, and as time goes by, Li Jiancheng's face will become clearer and clearer, and he is very scared, very afraid.

In the New Year of the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin suddenly aged a lot.

There are dirty things in the palace, Li Shimin's spirit is getting worse and worse, even the soothing medicine prescribed to him by Sun Simiao doesn't work very well, he doesn't dare to sleep, he really doesn't dare to sleep.

The situation was very bad, on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Shimin, who had not slept all night, looked much haggard, he no longer let Sun Simiao see a doctor for himself, at least he stopped drinking Sun Simiao's tranquilizer, because it had no effect.

He hurriedly ordered someone to invite Li Chunfeng, and now he hopes that Li Chunfeng, a Taoist priest, can do something for him to exorcise evil spirits.

Li Chunfeng came, after he saw Li Shimin's situation, his expression was solemn, and after a few hesitations, he shook his head: "Holy Lord, the evil qi in you is too heavy, I am afraid that the exorcism can only be controlled for a while, and it cannot be eradicated." ”

Hearing that it can only be controlled for a while, and cannot be eradicated, Li Shimin suddenly became nervous, but soon he still said: "If you can control it for a while, you can control it for a while, you can give me a quick way, I ...... I want to rest, I want to sleep, I don't want to dream like that anymore......"

The high-spirited Tian Khan suddenly became pitiful.
