Time unconsciously came to the Shangyuan Festival. Eight days have passed since Zhang Zheng returned to Chang'an from Nanpo Village, and Zhang Zheng has stayed in the house and has not gone anywhere in the past eight days.

It's not that Zhang Zheng doesn't want to go out and fool around, but because Zhang Zheng has been grounded since he came back from Nanpo Village.

The reason for the grounding is also very simple, the Guogong Mansion is going to prepare a crown ceremony for Zhang Zheng. Today coincides with the Shangyuan Festival, and it is also the day of Li Chengqian and the crown, and Zhang Zheng's crown ceremony is held the day after Li Chengqian.

Even though the day of Shangyuan Festival is actually Zhang Zheng's birthday, Li Chengqian is the prince, so Zhang Zheng's crown ceremony was justifiably delayed by one day.

Li Chengqian and Guan, Zhang Zheng, who was the prince's attendant, must have gone to watch the ceremony, so Zhang Zheng got up very early today.

When Zhang Zheng led a group of people to the East Palace, the East Palace was already full of people. Li Chengqian, as the heir of the next generation of the Tang Dynasty who is highly praised by both the government and the opposition, is a unique life event in this life, and the scene is naturally impossible to be small.

The honor guards of Emperor Taishang Li Yuan and His Majesty the Tang Emperor Li Shimin alone filled the small East Palace.

Not to mention that there were a lot of ministers who came to pay the ceremony, and even the big families sent people who stayed in Chang'an to congratulate them.

Moreover, there is one more thing that others don't know, but Zhang Zheng knows it very well. That is, today is not only Li Chengqian and the crown, Li Er will also announce on the spot about the marriage between the royal family and the Taiyuan Wang family.

Because the front yard of the East Palace was already full of people, Zhang Zheng came relatively late, so he could only squeeze hard.

Under the sweat, Zhang Zheng finally saw the dawn of hope. It was a moon gate, and after the moon gate was the apse of the East Palace.

At this time, the etiquette had not yet begun, and Li Chengqian was still in the apse and let the palace people dress him up.

"Report, His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has set off from the Manna Palace!"

"Report, His Royal Highness the Prince, the Emperor Taishang has arrived at Chengtianmen."

"Report, His Royal Highness the Prince......" There are constantly palace people who come to report to Li Chengqian the itinerary of the most noble people in the Tang Dynasty.

Waiting for the palace to tie Li Chengqian's belt, Li Chengqian replied lightly: "Lonely knows, the man from Weinan County has arrived?" The palace man replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I have never seen the figure of Zhang Xiannan!" Li Chengqian nodded with the same expression, and said to the palace people in the dormitory: "Well, the Luan drive of the father and grandfather is coming, go with the orphan to meet the car." ”……

"Sorry, excuse me." Zhang Zheng squeezed away an official with his back to him, then said sorry, and smiled at the moon gate not far away.

Just as Zhang Zheng was about to step into the apse of the East Palace, a somewhat familiar voice came: "It's you!" When Zhang Zheng heard the voice, he saw that it was the official who was squeezed out of him by himself, and he had already turned around at this time and looked at Zhang Zheng in surprise.

Zhang Zheng saw that this was not the day of the Renri Dynasty meeting, and he was robbed of his position. But forced by the obscenity of Lao Li Gang, is that Liu Yu Shi who dares to be angry and dare not speak?

His face immediately showed a happy look of meeting his hometown and old acquaintance, and he hugged his fists and replied: "Oh, it turned out to be Liu Yushi, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you eaten?" Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, this greeting method is quite novel, and subconsciously replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't eaten yet." ”

"Oh, then please move the way, I'm going in." Zhang Zheng pointed to the moon gate not far away, with a kind smile on his face.

"Huh? Oh! Hearing this, Liu Xun really moved a position to the side. Zhang Zheng ignored him and entered the moon gate and walked towards Li Chengqian's bedroom.

Looking at Zhang Zheng's back as he walked farther and farther, Liu Xun, who was aware of it, suddenly reacted. He muttered to himself, "Hey, why does the official listen to him? Zhang Zheng couldn't hear Liu Xun's inner monologue, he only felt that this imperial history was stupid.

As soon as he stepped into the moon gate, Zhang Zheng heard Li Chengqian's unique male duck voice in the voice change period.

"Brother Sheng'er, Brother Sheng'er, if you come, I knew you would definitely come." looked up, couldn't it be the crown prince Li Chengqian with a small face.

Zhang Zheng looked at Li Chengqian, who was dressed in full costume, bent down slightly and arched his hand: "Weichen meets His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Chengqian walked quickly to Zhang Zheng, helped Zhang Zheng up, and said with a smile: "Between you and me, you still need these false courtesies, go, go with me to meet the holy car of my father and grandfather." Zhang Zheng got up and said, "Then Weichen is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." "The place where Li Chengqian performed the crown ceremony chose the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, and the Hall of Appearance was also the place where His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne after the Xuanwumen Change.

Many of the civil and military ministers who came to watch the ceremony were not qualified to enter the temple, so the Hall of Xiande at this time seemed very empty.

Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian stood at the door of the main hall, waiting for Li Er and Li Yuan to be driven by the emperors of the Tang Dynasty.

After a while, the shrill voice of His Majesty from the palace people sounded. The officials surrounding the entrance of the Hall of Virtue spontaneously gave way to a passage.

As Li Er's steps moved from far to near, the ministers spontaneously bent down and shouted long live to the Imperial Mountain, which was surrounded by the flying cavalry soldiers.

Li Er's steps reached the gate of the Xiande Palace, and Li Chengqian and Zhang Zheng hurriedly bent down: "Erchen, Weichen greets Your Majesty." Li Shimin got off the royal court with the support of Wang De, and said to the ministers outside the palace: "You love Qing's body." Looking at Li Chengqian, he nodded with some relief and said, "You guys should get up too." ”

"Yes!" The two of them answered and straightened up. Li Shimin stood at the door of the Xiande Hall and did not enter the hall.

This was his residence, the place where he ascended the throne, and the starting point for him to step towards the first emperor of the ages.

He raised his head and looked at the somewhat dilapidated gate and the plaque of the Hall of Virtue. Li Shimin had a reminiscing expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that Li Shimin seemed to recall some of the past, Li Chengqian said cautiously: "Father, it's cold outside, it's better to go into the palace and sit down." Li Shimin shook his head and said with some emotion: "It's just a little cold, I'm here with you to wait for the arrival of the Emperor." Li Chengqian still wanted to persuade, but Zhang Zheng gently pulled his hand, Li Chengqian thought about it, and swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach.

In the biting cold wind, His Majesty Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, stood at the gate of the Xiande Palace. Behind him were two teenagers with very extraordinary temperaments.

In front of the three of them was a silent and silent Tang Dynasty minister.

"Your Majesty has arrived at the ......" a sharp voice came from far and near. Here it comes! The eyes of everyone in the venue suddenly turned to the honor guard that was slowly heading towards the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, which was vaguely one order higher than Li Shimin's imperial specifications.

"Wechen, son, grandson...... Meet Your Majesty! The sound of neat salutes resounded throughout the Xiande Hall of the East Palace.
