Chapter 20 Chang'an Meteorology
Autumn goes to winter, the New Year has passed, and the fifteenth day of the first month is on the Yuan Festival.
For the head of the Tang State in Chang'an City, the natural consideration is how to deal with the Xue Yantuo tribe in the north who are attached to the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan - a certain barbarian named Yinan is supported by the Tiele tribes in the north of the Turks, and he is very righteous to carry the banner of rebellion against the Jieli Khan, which makes Li Donglongyan happy and very happy.
The cause and effect of this matter can be traced back to after the Xuanwumen Change, Jieli Khan led 200,000 male soldiers to the south, the iron hooves of the sword soldiers have stepped on the bank of the Weishui River, and Chang'an garrison is empty, there is no power to resist, and the people are panicked.
No matter how those historians and literati whitewashed this incident, a stain is a stain after all, and the peace treaty signed by the blade on the neck is an unequal treaty after all, and Li Dong can't forget the humiliation brought to him by the Jieli Khan in his life, so this time he named Yi Nan as the Zhenzhu Viga Khan, and gave him a drum (that is, war drums and banners).
Of course, Li Dong, who was still in his infancy, was far from reaching the height of the previous sage Khan, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, and the only thing he had the most confidence in was his own youth and the true qi engine in the secret treasury of the craftsman supervisor.
It is a pity that because of the immaturity of cast iron technology, the imitation of the real gas engine is a disposable, and there is a danger of explosion at every turn.
It is said that the great power is heavy, and the magic object with a bright future is a first-class confidential matter, and this year's Shangyuan Festival, Li Shuangyu was hastily walked around Suzaku Avenue by more than a dozen bright or dark internal guards, and was sent back to his address by the guards in a hurry, which made him quite unhappy.
Lamp wheels, lamp trees, lamp posts several zhang high, from everywhere lanterns, fire trees and silver flowers, well-off people step on the street to enjoy the lights, the mother who used to pick and search at this time is quite generous to take out a few pennies from the small pocket to buy Hu cakes to eat for the noisy little baby - this kind of round things called "naan" and "baked cakes" in later generations are not cheap goods, and walnuts are also added very coolly, and along the way, the crumbs of the hu cakes were sprinkled with the father's neck that let his son ride on his shoulder....
As for the West Market, it is even more lively, with an area of one square kilometer full of countless shops, jewelry shops specializing in pearls, agate, and crystals, and wine shops specializing in Persian Sanle pulp (at this time, Sanle pulp is comparable to the top version of Moutai in the hardcover collection of later generations, the value is amazing, and the rich and noble families can't afford to drink it a few times, and Li Dong will only reward so many cups in special scenes),
By the way, this kind of wine shop generally has a special "culture" - the blonde and blue-eyed Hu lady will dance at the door with a wine bottle, Fengyun Oupai is bruised in the cold wind of the Shangyuan Festival, and the nobles of Chang'an are pity and even people bring wine to buy home, and it is no wonder that the poet Li Bai will write "Wuling Youth Jin Shidong" in "Youth Xing", "laughing into the orchid restaurant" poems, it can be seen that Li Taibai is also a person of personality, if he is born in the future life, he will definitely leave something famous in Hamburg, Germany or Amsterdam, the Netherlands....
As the world's most famous "Merry Yazawa", the chief entertainment venue of the Tang Empire, Pingkangfang, refused to lag behind in this year's Shangyuan Festival, and held a dance performance with amazing dance effects, tormenting people's brains Qiuzi music is the latest trendy "modern style" in this era, those young ladies wearing pink skirts and blue shirts shook silk fans and smiled smartly, and were dragged by the Kyoto Kuo Gong who kept pouring wine on the second floor to play drunk madness, and the money cakes that were dropped even hit the pedestrians below, causing a burst of robbery.
At this moment, in the palace, Li Dong met with the courtiers, feasted and toasted happily, and then expressed his blessings for the new year.
By the way, Li Shuangyu, as the youngest county barony holder in the Tang Empire, although he is not the founding county man of Liupin, and the small county town is in a ravine next to Luzhou, he is already a registered "nobleman", even if he returns to Luzhou at this time, he is also a master who does not spend money on food.
And his mother and sister were naturally taken to Chang'an to settle down, becoming the glorious citizens of Chang'an at the feet of the Son of Heaven, this incident caused waves in Luzhou made Li Shuangyu and his childhood friends shout that this is not feudal, regretting that they did not marry their sisters to him.
"Uncle Luo, I want to go to see the Lantern Festival...."
Li Shuangyu looked at the guard on the opposite side of the carriage with a constipated face, "It's been less than a quarter of an hour since I came out to shop, so I'm going home, I can't say it...."
The white-faced young man he called Uncle Luo was named Luo Kedi, who was a member of the Hundred Cavalry Division, who made a simple knife in one hand, splashed water without entering, and was a first-class master.
"That's good, if I want to say that you should be locked in the cellar, it's pitch black, only one window is opened, and it's blocked by an iron railing, except for eating and sleeping all day long, you have to work on the clock at all other times, which is not only efficient but also safe...."
The name of the guard who spoke was Zhong Dajun, a tall man, with thicker arms than normal legs, dark skin, and a look similar to later NBA star Ben Wallace, which at first glance would make people think that he was some kind of silverback gorilla monster.
Li Shuangyu couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, Chang'an followed the Daxing City of the Sui Dynasty, and there were not a few ghost legends of fox and rats and lonely souls and wild ghosts in the city, and all kinds of hunting stories were widely spread.
"Don't scare him. ”
Luo Kedi opened his eyes and said lightly, "Your Majesty instructed us to protect you, we naturally have to be loyal, there are many people on the Shangyuan Festival, there will inevitably be some omissions, let's go back early after watching the Lantern Festival." ”
Li Shuangyu sighed helplessly, he has been really troubled in recent days, it is nothing more than the pestering sons of Guozijian - those noble bear children of the same age as him are in the stage of not being afraid of heaven and earth, and the behavior of fighting and forcibly collecting protection money is endless, which is not something that the teacher of Guozijian can control at all.
Even because Li Shuangyu was promoted to the county barony, a group of jaw-dropping second generations were idolized, and the descendants of the princes who were originally not birds to him also followed him all day long as a horse boy. "Li Pisces will always be my big brother!"
Thinking of this, the corners of Li Shuangyu's mouth couldn't help but raise a honey smile....
The carriage was moving slowly through the downtown when suddenly, something heavy hit the roof.
In an instant, the smoke and fog rose, and the whole carriage disappeared, and Luo Ke secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and he wanted to grab Li Shuangyu's clothes in the carriage where his vision was blocked, but he grabbed it empty.
