Li Zhen was very proud of being able to worship the two famous teachers in one go, and as soon as she returned to the palace, she rushed to see her own Lao Tzu non-stop, and did not hide it, and told the story in detail. Li Shimin was happy, and immediately agreed to Li Zhen's request, planning to pick a good day to preside over the apprenticeship ceremony for Li Zhen as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed.

Money, Li Zhen is a little, as a prince can have a hundred yuan every month, and there can be a thousand yuan all year round, at this time it is worth the total assets of an ordinary rich family, if it is the country in the future, relying on the annual income of the fief is also a piece of cake, but after all, it is far water, and it can't quench the thirst of the near, and God knows if the old man will let himself go to the country by then, if not, he can't just point to the poor month to live.

Li Zhen always hid in the palace in front of the head, and didn't interact with anyone, so naturally he didn't need to spend money, but now he was about to learn from a teacher, and he was afraid that entertainment was inevitable, and Li Zhen didn't plan to spend the Yan family's money unconditionally, so he had no choice but to advance the fortune plan to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Reunion Festival, in the Tang Dynasty is second only to the Spring Festival, the Qingming Festival, every Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole country celebrates not to say, the emperor also has to lead the ministers to hold a moon worship ceremony, the banquet of the ministers, accept the autumn tribute sent from all over the country, it is very lively, this year coincides with the whole number of Li Shimin's accession to the throne for five years, through the hard work of the two generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty, the economy of the Central Plains has been comprehensively improved, sweeping away the poverty situation of the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and at the end of last year, it had just exterminated the Central Plains for a long time, and the people's hearts were stable and thriving. A gratifying scene, this Mid-Autumn Festival naturally has to be celebrated, no, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the tributes sent by the assassins from all over the country filled the entire Taiji Palace, and Li Shimin's heart was overjoyed, and the order was to feast the ministers in the Chengtian Gate Tower, and all the older princes had a share of the table, and this was the opportunity that Li Zhen had to wait.

Chengtian Gate, the main gate of the Tang Imperial Palace, is located in the middle of the south wall of the Taiji Palace, there is a tall building view on the door, there are east and west court halls outside the door, there is a palace square with a wide 300 steps in front of the door, the south is directly facing the Vermilion Bird Gate, Mingde Gate, the north-south straight street is about 150 meters wide, the location is very important, it is the place where the Tang Emperor held the "Outer Dynasty" ceremony, the banquet Chen Le is generally carried out here, the court encounters pardon, or the old cloth is new, or receives the tributary envoys of all countries, the guests of the four Yi, the emperor also wants to listen to the government of the Tianmen, Today's Mid-Autumn Festival moon worship ceremony and night banquet are here.

Although it is a night banquet, but in fact this banquet is from the time of the main card to start, the ministers arrived at the Chengtian Gate early, not only the courtiers, each in Beijing has a title and no official body also came, the officials according to the rank of each in their positions, generally speaking, the king, the prince can have a place on the gate tower near Tianyan, the rest can only sit in the square downstairs, hundreds of banqueters, plus the eunuchs and palace maids who wait back and forth, the square is not too big and immediately crowded, full of laughter, What a hilarious one.

Wow, there are so many fucking people, damn, it's almost time for this hour, where did our old man go, why didn't he show up at this time, fainted! Li Zhen was the first time to participate in such a banquet, and he was very curious about everything, so he arrived at the city gate tower early in the morning, said hello to those brothers, and no longer paid attention to the noise of the brothers together.

"The emperor has arrived!" The shrill eunuch voice of the inner eunuch Deng Yao sounded in a noise, and all the courtiers who were laughing and talking happily immediately quieted down, and everyone bowed down and stood up, waiting for Li Shimin's arrival. The band that had already been prepared on the east and west drum towers immediately drummed loudly, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun stood side by side, stepping on the music, and slowly ascended to the Chengtian Gate Tower, and the courtiers knelt on the ground, and the sound of three shouts of long live resounded in the sky.

"All Aiqing is flat, I am happy to gather with all the Qing today, not drunk and homeless, come to someone, have fun!" Li Shimin waved his hand with a smile on his face and loudly announced the start of the night banquet. The courtiers have finished thanking, each sat down, and the eunuchs and palace maids in charge of wine and food shuttled back and forth to the ground to serve food, and the whole audience gradually cheered, and there was a festive party in all directions.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there was not so much etiquette as in later generations, saying that drinking is drinking, not so much poverty and exquisiteness, not only the courtiers let go of drinking, but even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were the same, look, the boss's bottle of wine, the old man was stunned and didn't even frown, and he did it in one go. In the blink of an eye, after three rounds of wine, it was time for the princes to come forward to toast, the prince took the lead, and the brothers followed, each of them either toasted or told a joke, changing their ways to make the old man happy, as long as the old man drank the wine, it was considered a success, heh, not to mention, all the princes together have two hands, and the old man was so happy that he was drunk, and most of the time it would be Li Zhen's turn to play.

And that's where it begins? Come on! Li Zhen took a deep breath, picked up the wine bottles on a few sons with both hands, walked quickly to the table of Li Shimin and the eldest grandson, and said loudly: "Father, mother, and son-in-law have something to offer, which can be used for toasting." ”

Don't look at Li Zhen's small stature, his voice is not small, and he is very angry, and he immediately suppressed the noise on the city gate, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on him, and the curiosity of the big guy was all hooked - Li Zhen said that there was something to offer, but except for the wine bottle in his hand, there was nothing else, and no one could figure out which play Li Zhen was singing, and the whole scene immediately fell silent.

Li Zhen did not have any outstanding performance in the past, but since he entered school this year, he has repeatedly achieved good results, first the East Palace robbery case showed a calm general demeanor, and then he got Li Jing, who even Li Shimin couldn't handle by himself, and it was especially appreciated by Li Shimin - Li Jing is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Jing is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but he has never been Li Shimin's confidant, when the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin tried to win over Li Jing to follow the incident, but Li Jing, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War at the time, refused, of course, Li Shimin is worthy of being a generation of heroes, and he did not use Li Jing because Li Jing did not follow him into trouble, but trusted him, and since the Zhenguan battle, all foreign wars have been handed over to Li Jing to be the commander, these are all digressions, and they will be skipped for the time being. At this time, Li Shimin heard that Li Zhen had a toast to offer, and immediately laughed and said, "Zhen'er, what kind of surprise do you plan to give me?" ”

Again? No, when did we have it, where did the word "again" come from? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand the truth of the word "again" that her Lao Tzu said, but at this time, Li Zhen was eager to get rich, but she didn't bother to think about it, and hurriedly replied: "Enlighten your father, please ask Rong Erchen to call someone to present the matter, and my father will know it at a glance." ”

Looking at what Li Zhen was selling, everyone who was originally curious was even more appetized at this time, and they each whispered to each other, and a group of brothers also secretly speculated, Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen with interest for a while, waved his hand and said, "Yes." ”

Haha, it's done, let's just wait for your old words! Li Zhen was overjoyed in her heart, bowed to Li Shimin, stepped aside, and gestured to Liu Dequan who followed her to the banquet, Li Dequan hurriedly ran down the city gate, but after a while, he led a group of little eunuchs to carry boards, boxes and other things hurriedly walked up, the group of little eunuchs had been practicing for a long time, and the performance was also very smooth at this time, and after being busy for a while, a wide table was finally assembled neatly, and then a chair carved with the pattern of Nine Dragons and Clouds was placed. A set of Taipan tables and chairs was born.

"Zhen'er, what is this?" Although Li Shimin saw the general function of this table and chair, he didn't know its name, and after pondering for a while, he asked with a smile.

Don't know, right? Hey, that's right! Li Zhen is very proud, this set of tables and chairs is specially built by Li Zhen according to Li Shimin's figure, with golden silk nanmu, and then painted with lacquer, the desktop light can be seen, not to mention, the simple shape and the dragon pattern inlaid with gold wire on the table and chair are extraordinary.

"Enlighten my father, this is a desk and a chair, which is specially made for my father, please try it out." Li Zhen smiled and puffed his palms, and a little eunuch placed pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.

"Oh? Good! Li Shimin is a man of both civil and military affairs, his favorite thing on weekdays is calligraphy, at this time he drank wine, he was even more bold, and he didn't say much, got up, walked to the table, patted the back of the chair, sat down, picked up the wolf pen on the table, and swayed, a big "dragon" word jumped on the paper.

"Good word!"

"Wonderful!"

"Great!"

……

Seeing this, a group of princes and magnates immediately cheered loudly, and for a while the city gate tower was full of applause, and Li Shimin himself was very satisfied with the words he wrote today, holding his long beard and laughing loudly, and the laughter was full of heroic meaning.

Hehe, the old man is happy, and our "money" is guaranteed! Li Zhen grinned happily, and her pupils were about to turn golden with pride—all the Kaiyuan Tongbao was tumbling there.
