Yang Yuhuan straightened the sky-high crown on Li Longji's head, and then put the dragon robe on his body properly. The two of them stood in front of a huge mirror, looking at the white hair and red face in the mirror, and couldn't help but smile.

"I want to learn from Ye Chang, wearing his clothes, which is convenient and heroic." Li Longji nagged: "This guy is too, except for wearing official clothes when he was in the last dynasty, most of them wear his clothes on weekdays, and many people in Chang'an City wear them." ”

"Yes, the people of Chang'an City call it Ye Shang." Yang Yuhuan smiled skillfully: "The saint can also wear it, I want to wear it to the saint, I don't know how handsome it is compared to Ye Chang." ”

"I'm old, how can I compare to Ye Chang in those clothes?" Li Longji was a little sad at this time: "It's the concubine, you are no different from you now......"

"What do you do with this...... But saint, don't you invite Ye Chang tonight? ”

"Summoning Ye Chang to come, he will be able to stir up my good and decent New Year's Celebration, his temper, but it doesn't matter if this is a major event for the New Year." Li Longji shook his head and said: "Yang Xiang and the others will not be happy that he is present, it is better not to come, so as not to spoil everyone's interest." ”

"The concubine thinks that this Ye Chang is also a strange person, whether he likes him or not, but he can't talk about him."

"What you're saying is that whether you like him or not, you have to talk about him......"

Yang Yuhuan's sentence, Li Longji felt that it was really a witty word, which can be described as a word. The Tang Dynasty under his rule entered the most prosperous era, and at the same time, Ye Chang also imprinted his imprint on the social life of the Tang Dynasty. From the charcoal furnace, the well, the kang to the glass mirror, the horse lamp, the rutted train, to the storytelling, newspapers, football, almost all fields related to the people's lives, Ye Chang has led to changes. Some changes are even silent, but they have greatly changed today's Datang.

Even Li Longji, who lives deep in the palace, can clearly feel this change.

"New Year's Day, don't talk about that person, say that we ...... ourselves" After pondering for a while, Li Longji smiled dumbly, even if Ye Chang changed the Tang Dynasty, what could he do, after all, he was just one of his ministers, and he had his own will, wouldn't he just be at home.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw that there were already many people waiting there, and after looking carefully, Li Longji frowned slightly.

There are still some people who haven't arrived.

The crown prince Li Heng has not yet arrived, and Princess Twenty-nine Niang Shou'an has not yet arrived......

"Why hasn't the prince arrived yet?" Li Longji asked.

"The slave has already sent someone to ask." Gao Lishi replied on the side: "It is said that His Highness is occasionally unwell, and he will come later." ”

"Can you send the Imperial Doctor to consult?"

"Your Highness said that there is no big problem, but it is just an occasional cold, and it is good to sweat after drinking medicine."

Hearing this, Li Longji nodded slightly, his eyes turned around the crowd, and when he saw Yongwang Li standing in his position, he smiled and beckoned to him: "Son, come to me." ”

Li strode over, compared to Li Heng, he was much younger, and he was in the prime of life, so he walked like a tiger and looked heroic. In front of Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, he bowed and saluted: "The sons and daughters knock to see their father, their mother, and their father's and mother's mothers." ”

"My son came very early today, and today's banquet will be on the side of the mother." Li Longji commanded.

After saying this, Yang Guozhong's eyes lit up, and the princes and horses present had different expressions

Generally speaking, the position next to Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan is not so easy to sit on, for a long time, on either side of them is the eldest princess Yuzhen, and the other is the crown prince Li Heng. The position where Li lives today is the position of the crown prince Li Heng

Li Longji is sending out a signal

Seeing everyone's different expressions, Li Longji smiled slightly and asked them to guess.

He is indeed a little dissatisfied with Li Heng, but it has not yet reached the point of changing the crown prince, and his order this time is more of a temptation.

In the court, there is an undercurrent, how can he, the emperor, not know but he doesn't have much energy to deal with it now, so he doesn't bother to care. As he grew old and decrepit, many people in the clan and courtiers began to get close to the crown prince Li Heng, and the crown prince Li Heng has gradually become active in recent years, which made him feel that it was necessary to beat these people.

He can tolerate Li Heng, but he can't tolerate Li Heng reaching out to the authority of the world before he dies.

"Father, Mother"

When everyone exchanged their opinions on this location arrangement with each other's eyes, Shou An appeared on the main hall, she came a little later, and the clothes she was wearing were a little thicker, because there were many jewelry on her head, so when she walked, the crisp sound was endless.

Seeing her salute, Li Longji smiled and said, "You just sit next to your Aunt Yuzhen"

Shou An sat beside the eldest princess of Yuzhen, she looked over here, and found that Li Heng's position was now sitting in Li, and her expression was slightly stunned. Li was still immersed in excitement at this time, and he didn't notice the gloom in Shou'an's expression, but just talked to Li Longji by himself.

"Brother Crown Prince is here, where should he live?" Seeing that no one mentioned this, Shou An frowned and asked Yuzhen next to him.

Yu Zhen glanced at her: "The saint has his own idea about this matter, not for you to ask." ”

Shou An shook his head: "Today is a family banquet, and it is not a state affair...... Father, where should the prince and brother sit when they come? ”

Li Longji frowned slightly, this daughter was also unconscious, he looked at Shou'an: "In your opinion?" ”

"The daughter is willing to give way to the prince's brother." Shou An Road.

"Okay, you can go to the side...... You're a respectful brother. ”

Shou An said with a smile: "Kong Rong is seven years old and still knows how to give up pears, why does his daughter not know how to give up her seat?" ”

After saying this, Li Dun felt uneasy, got up and said, "It's better for Erchen to give up his seat for His Royal Highness the Prince."

Everyone present was a little stunned at this time, over the years, the relationship between Li and Li Heng has deteriorated day by day, and the matter of seizing the heir has started again, and Shou An has always not chosen a side in these disputes, whether it is Li Heng or Li, the relationship with Shou An is not very good. But at this moment today, Shou An stood out for Li Heng...... Could it mean that Ye Chang behind Shou'an also made a choice?

When Yang Guozhong saw this scene, he sneered in his heart.

If Ye Chang is in power, if he clearly chooses a side, even Li Longji will have to think about it carefully. But now that Ye Chang has been dismissed, he is an idler at home, as long as he frees up his hands, he will be completely cleaned up, what can he do if he chooses a side?

And Ye Chang is smart, but he is completely confused at this time, with his previous grievances with Li Heng, even if he chooses Li Heng's side, how can Li Heng accept it?

Thinking of this, Yang Guozhong was a little funny: He Li Heng will not accept it, Li Nai was supported by their Yang family to compete with Li Heng for the position, because of the Yang family, he will definitely not really accept Ye Chang. Ye Chang has always been known for his far-reaching strategy, but in the position of the crown prince, he is too short-sighted, and he offends all the possible heirs.

In the same mood as Yang Guozhong, An Lushan also had a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

His relationship with Shou'an was even worse, and the last time Ye Chang beat him in the carriage, it was because of Shou'an. Lee Hyung...... How could you accept Shou An and Ye Chang

Li's "humility" was not allowed by Li Longji, Li Longji still insisted that he sit on Yang Yuhuan's side, Shou'an moved to a more marginal position, and before she sat down, she heard the outside say: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here." ”

Li Heng walked in with a cautious expression, and also saluted Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, and after finding that his position was occupied by Li, his expression suddenly changed. Li Yi instantly felt that his brother's face was hideous and terrifying, like a demon.

This feeling made the last trace of guilt in Li's heart disappear.

Originally, Li and Li Heng had a very close relationship, Li's mother died early, and he was raised by Li Heng and his wife in Li Heng's East Palace for a long time, and grew up with Li Heng's sons. But because of power, because of the golden throne of the Son of Heaven, it is now completely reversed.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Li Heng sat between Yuzhen and Shou'an, his expression was cold, and he never looked at King Yong again. Yuzhen next to him sighed, but didn't say anything, Shou An was also very strange, and spoke for Li Heng when Li Heng was coming, but after Li Heng came, he didn't talk to him.

The atmosphere was quite eerie at first.

Later, when the banquet came up, the atmosphere became lively, and the excellent people of the pear garden came up to perform their skills, and everyone at the banquet also frequently raised their glasses to persuade them to drink, and everything seemed to return to singing and dancing to level up a group of harmony.

Outside the city of Chang'an, groups of people and horses ran silently on the avenue, at first with the help of the twilight that had not completely disappeared, and after the sky was completely dark, they began to raise torches and lanterns. If you can be condescending and look down in the sky, you can see that there are several such people and horses, and they are rapidly approaching Chang'an City from several directions.

In Chang'an City, although there is no curfew on Chinese New Year's Eve, there are no pedestrians on the road for a long time, and the restaurant and song shop that is usually brightly lit at this time has now been dispersed. However, thousands of households have hung lanterns, lit a fire at the door, and prepared firecrackers next to the fire, just waiting for the New Year to come.

There are also large families, the whole family and drink, the family raised the song and the song, silk and bamboo singing, far away, ethereal and light, so that Chang'an City is like a dream.

Only in the shadows of some streets and alleys, there were figures flickering in twos and threes, and they were silent, walking briskly, and running in the direction of various city gates, palaces, and offices. Even around the general meeting of the Anton Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an, some people faintly appeared.

They avoided the gaze of the gentry, and were occasionally seen by the patrolling soldiers, who could also take out their waist cards and arrows to prove that they were on official duty. In a short period of time, they were scattered all over the city, including outside Ye Chang's mansion, and several groups of such characters also came.

Ye Chang lay on the kang and slept soundly.

Li Huaiyu clutched the short lance in his hand tightly, stood in the cold wind, and stared at Ye Chang's mansion.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten years have passed, and Li Huaiyu is already a young man in his twenties. And the hatred for Ye Chang also made him still feel his blood boiling on such a cold night.

He thought of his cousin Hou Xiyi, when he was in Liaodong, Ye Chang killed Hou Xiyi, making him lose his support. Fortunately, An Lushan appreciated him and let him join the army, and after working hard for so many years, he was finally promoted to a general. If his cousin does not die, Li Huaiyu is convinced that his official position at this moment is far more than just a general.

In these years, Li Huaiyu wanted to take revenge more than once, but the enemy was too strong, Ye Chang had more and more soldiers around him, and the officials were getting bigger and bigger, even An Lushan couldn't help him, and was even beaten by him in front of the emperor

Originally, Li Huaiyu thought that he had no hope of revenge in this life, but he never thought that Dr. An would have such a plan

Thinking of this, Li Huaiyu laughed silently.

In the Ye house, Ye Chang, who was asleep, turned over and got up under the urging of Li Yuan: "What time is it?" ”

"When I first arrived."

"Everybody's up?" Ye Chang asked again.

"All up."

Ye Chang put on his clothes and walked unhurriedly to the front of his house, the fire in the courtyard was still very strong, next to the fire, more than 20 teenagers were seated, and each of them was covered with iron armor under their thick cotton clothes.

Liaodong's steel armor made of hydraulic forging hammers is not as beautiful as the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty, but it is light and strong, and the defensive power of the same thickness is more than half of the Mingguang armor. As a cuirass, I am afraid that it is the most outstanding of this era.

"Guys have worked hard." Ye Chang said to everyone.

"It's not hard to keep the New Year." Yang Fan rushed to respond.

"If only there was nothing to do tonight...... If there is anything, I will leave it all to you. Ye Chang said.

"Where Lang Jun is, our lives are Lang Jun's, just take it when you need it," someone replied.

"I don't want you to lose your lives so early, I have spent so much energy, manpower and money, so that you have learned so many things, in the hope that one day you will be of great use. But everyone knows that even the steel knife forged by our Liaodong Iron Mill is only sharp after sharpening the edge...... You just have learned a skill, and you also need to polish it in the middle of things before you can really become a talent. This is the best time to sharpen you," Ye Chang said.

"Yes," everyone replied in unison.

"Cai Chenguo," Ye Chang exclaimed.

"In"

Yang Fan looked at his classmate with some curiosity, when Tianbao was eleventh year, the two of them, plus Yue Xi, who was not present now, represented Lushun Academy and competed with the Guozi Supervision Academy. After that time, the three of them went even further, Yue Xi first served as Ye Chang's staff for a year and a half, and now he is repairing the track. Yang Fan joined the army, and in recent years, he has made many military exploits, and rushed to the middle level in the Liaodong Army. Only Cai Chenguo, after that, seemed to have disappeared, and it wasn't until recently that Yang Fan saw him.

When asked about his experience in the past few years, he just laughed and didn't talk about it, but judging from his momentum, he should have shouldered a heavy responsibility.

"Are you ready?" Ye Chang asked again.

"It's all ready, Lang Jun, please rest assured" Cai Chenguo replied with a little pride: "Me and my subordinates are all ready"
