Chapter 348: The Exorcism of the Imperial Palace

'Eat slowly, and no one will rob you.' Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info', Xiaohong said angrily, 'Who said no.' Su Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand, took a pair of chopsticks, and put Li Chen in a stack of cold ones, and the hot pot ingredients that had just been scalded were taken away.

'Eat slowly, I'll have to go and say hello to the horns outside.' Laughing at each other, Li Chen ate well, wiped his mouth, got up to go outside the hall, and greeted each other like those horns. He really didn't leave those horns day and night, even on New Year's Eve. It is quite the style of Jingzong back then.

But shouldn't Chinese New Year's Eve be a family reunion? It's too unkind not to let people go back. Or just let those who have families go back? No, no, there is no rule that the reunion is not at home, Li Chen asked them to take their families into the palace, and let them be reunited in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve.

When people are invited, they naturally have to come to greet them. So in order to win people's hearts, Li Chen took a half-full concubine to the square in front of the palace, ready to speak. Dozens of hot pots were set up here, and hundreds of people gathered around the fireplace, and tents were set up around it to block the wind. And since the eunuch announced the arrival of the saint, they all spontaneously fell silent.

'Ladies and gentlemen.... What should I say? Ministers? They are not ministers yet. Commoners? It seems too perfunctory. Originally, he was just going through the motions, planning to say a few words and leave, but Li Chen didn't take it too seriously. As a result, it is now stuck.

It's not that he is perfunctory, although he wants to show that he is close to the people, but the times are different, and they can't be generalized. Although the Tang Dynasty was not formal, the superiority and humility always had to be observed. If he is like those local chiefs in later generations, he still goes to the countryside to talk to the people, ask them about their lives, and even shake hands, which is not appropriate.

Without him, there is just a difference in identity. No one will think that this is close to the people, but will think that you have lost your identity. Be self-defeating.

Not only those who have status, but also those people. You won't feel honored, you'll just feel very scared, and maybe you'll think you're fake. Different times and different identities require different behaviors to show the style of loving the people. What people are precious, the monarch is light, and the community is secondary, I'm afraid that in a hundred years, don't even think about it.

Like Li Chen, coming out to say a few words and then giving some rewards is in line with the identity. You say that if you have any other banquets, it is not impossible to sit at the same table with them, and it is not impossible to have the same banquet, but unless it is an elder, in order to show respect for the old and love for the young, or have a special status, such as a sergeant, it is better not to.

'Ladies and gentlemen. Li Chen was stuck, but fortunately he was reminded by Xiaohong, cleared his throat and said, "All the wrestlers and their relatives..." After saying a few clichés, encouraging everyone to eat and drink well and have fun, and awarded some rewards, Li Chen asked the concubines to return to the palace, and he went to find his mother and son.

In the other corner of the courtyard, a fire was lit and the courtyard was burned. Ordinary people take some old things to burn at home, and the palace has to be burned, of course, it has to be different, how can you take old things, how disrespectful. So all the wood used is cut neatly. Those old things and damaged things that had to be disposed of were burned by the palace maids and eunuchs.

The firelight shines, changing all kinds of images, the heavenly demons and immortals coexist, the emperor and the people rejoice, and all the states in the world seem to be all in this firelight, depending on how you think.

Li Chen was in a trance for a while, laughing at himself that he still had a bit of a young temperament, he thought that he was already past that era. Wandering his eyes and seeing his mother with her grandson and a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs, burning firecrackers, Li Yan picked up a bamboo tube, approached the fire, threw it far away, and ran back to his grandmother, waiting for the bamboo tube to explode.

Li Chen looked dumb and smiled, what fun is there to play like this. Because the bamboo tube has to wait for a while, for the sake of safety, Zheng asked him to throw a few at a time, and he can only throw it again when it is burned. In this way, it feels very similar to watching TV and frequently entering advertisements when it is exciting, and there is a feeling of incoherence and discomfort.

'Mother. Li Chen leaned over, and when Zheng saw him, he smiled and greeted Mimi, "Yi'er, let's play together." Li Yi is the real name of his body. Li Chen is the name of his original body. He deduced that he changed his name in order to take refuge, and he also used this name after ascending the throne, and now he will be called so, and his mother is left.

'Mother, this isn't fun, let's have some fun.' Li Chen smiled dumbly at his mother's replacement, how old am I, I still play this, and this is boring. He wrapped something in red paper and showed it to Zheng.

'Master, how do you play this?' Hearing that there was something fun, Li Yan came over. It's just that he can't understand what the small cylinder wrapped in red paper in front of him is, how to play with it, it won't bounce back when he throws it away.

'Play like this. Li Chen took out a stick of incense stick and let the palace maid light it with the fire in the court. Then he took the incense stick and lit it on a long thread-like object on the top of the red cylinder, and saw that the long thread item was immediately lit and made a loud sound.

Li Chen threw things away, and after a while, there was a 'bump', and the small cylinder in red exploded, startling everyone. It's like a firecracker, but how can it sound if it's not thrown into the fire. Only Li Li, the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, clapping his hands and applauding, 'Great, great, master, what is this, I want to play.' ’

You just call it a firecracker. Li Chen is now the emperor, and he doesn't need to pretend to be a ghost to deceive people, so he decided to promote firecrackers. He recruited that group of Taoist priests, a general outline scripture, it seems that the general outline scripture has not yet been completed, but the level Taoist and the immeasurable Taoist priest at the beginning, as well as a few people who are good at alchemy, have made gunpowder together, and it has been completed.

Li Chen had already completed the gunpowder, and on this basis, they were further preparing for mass production. Li Chen decided to open a firecracker factory first to build an outpost for the army to move towards hot weapons in the future.

It's a fuse, and when it's lit, throw it out. Li Chen demonstrated one more, Li Chen clapped his hands, shouting to try it, and Li Chen gave him one, "Won't it be dangerous?" Zheng walked over worriedly. "Don't worry, it's just a pain in your hand when it's blown up." The amount of gunpowder in this thing is very low, and if it explodes directly in your hand, it just hurts.

'Pay attention to the candles, the palace is burning, remember not to burn the house.' Li Chen commanded two words, and was about to leave, but suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums and various musical instruments was heard in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer to Zichen Palace.

'What's going on?' When the exorcism came, a young little eunuch probed his brain excitedly, wanting to go over and take a look, now serving Li Chen has become a chore, and all the old qualifications are pushed to the rookie, so that the new eunuch can serve.

'Why did the exorcist jump into the palace?' Li Chen was puzzled, but no one cared about these at this time, as soon as Li Chen threw the firecrackers, he was about to run over to see, but he was caught by Li Chen, and he was not allowed to throw things casually.

Someone will take it anyway. Li Chen was unwilling to twist and struggled to pass, but Li Chen pressed his shoulder and asked him to put things away before he was allowed to pass.

This kid was reluctant to bow his head and pack up his things, Zheng hurriedly helped, and was persuaded by Li Chen, this bad habit must be changed.

Finally packed up his things, Li Yan hurriedly ran to the place where the gongs and drums were beating and the sound was loud. A group of palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly followed, and those who followed Li Cheng were fine, and there were older ones, probably because Li Kai had not yet contracted "bad habits" like Li Chen, and he was still good to serve.

Li Chen and Zheng also walked to the side of the driving team, and while walking, Zheng also said, "In the past, I had to see that the driving team had to crowd people, but now it's good, I have come to the door." When I arrived, there were already several people around, a group of womb maids, eunuchs, and those horns and their relatives who were already watching.

The more eye-catching place is a group of concubines, Li Lai looked near his mother, "This year's team is different from previous years." ''That's it, what's that in front of you?'' Monkey? ''Haven't you heard of Journey to the West?'' ''The one who pedals on two wheels should be Nezha.'' ''It has appeared in the list of gods and in Journey to the West. ’

Li Chen according to Yangzhou's plan, but it is much stronger, Yangzhou was still only part of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and now, Fengshen Bang, Journey to the West, Three Kingdoms, these big books have been put on the stage by him, on the one hand, join in the fun, on the other hand, Chang'an's theater is about to open, just to advertise.

In this way, after a while, the team of the expulsors got a reward, and left the palace happily, Li Chen also washed up, tomorrow he has to go to court early, and he is afraid that he will not be able to get up if he sleeps too late.

'It's so boring. Thinking of going to the court, Li Chen was a little annoyed and really didn't want to go up. During this period, he didn't care about anything, which made his heart a little wild. If one day, get rid of the **** and really hold the power, it doesn't matter if the dynasty is in power, he is not an emperor who doesn't care about everything, he really only knows how to play. But this, the Great Dynasty Meeting, there is nothing to do, the power is a ritual, and it is boring to think about it.

It's annoying to think about. The New Year's Day Dynasty will be fine, once a year, and the Chang Dynasty is fine, that is to have something serious to discuss, and the real boredom is still the Shuowang Dynasty, which will be held twice a month. Fortunately, this kind of court meeting does not need to wear real court clothes, otherwise he will never want to open it in the future.

In fact, the two most troublesome pilgrimages of the year are not far apart. One is that the New Year's Day will be held soon. One is that he has just been avoided by the "Winter Solstice Congratulations". On the day of the winter solstice, the emperor has to wear another set of troubles, which is not inferior to the New Year's Day crown dress.

'Once a year, go to sleep, good. Yang Er coaxed Li Chen to sleep like a child.

Li Chen didn't really know the situation, it was just the love between husband and wife, and after a few laughs, he fell asleep in a daze. Soon, he almost didn't feel like he had slept for long, when he was woken up by the little eunuch who was waiting outside the door, "Sage, it's time to go to the morning court." The little eunuch shouted loudly, no way, theoretically it should be close, but ..., it's too dangerous.

Li Chen was very struggling, dragged himself up from the bed, got up, and began his daily work as an emperor under the service of a group of palace maids and eunuchs who worked hard to come over, and went to court. (To be continued.) )
