Chapter 727: Magnificent Chinese New Year's Eve

There are many things he wants to do in this life, Zhang Yang looked at the other end of the banquet, and Yan Liben was supported by Li Tai's people and left.

Lishan's wine is strong, he is most drunk and can't catch up with the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, Lishan's wine has a characteristic, after getting drunk, he will be very dizzy, and he will be very thirsty when he wakes up.

The liquor brewed in the liquor is not good, and the characteristic is that it is easy to get drunk, and it is very uncomfortable when drunk.

On weekdays, like Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong rarely drinks alcohol, and if he drinks too much, he will have a headache and dry mouth.

There is probably no problem with the brewing method, but the texture of the koji must be adjusted well, and if you want to make good sake, the koji must be good, so before the good koji is raised in Lishan, the sake will be like this in the future.

It stands to reason that the liquor in Lishan is sold to the people of the Western Regions, and it has nothing to do with Guanzhong what the people of the Western Regions drink.

also lost Li Shimin's public property for private use, and brought all these drinks to the courtiers who were half-sold and half-rewarded

The emperor is also a person who knows how to do official business for personal purposes.

Li Yue got up and walked home, and her aunt also returned home, she looked at the child in her arms and whispered: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this little grandfather's eyes are so good-looking." ”

The daughter's and son's eyes are like his father's, especially the son's face shape is almost exactly the same as his father's.

When the daughter is upset and angry, it is very similar to when his father is angry.

Li Yue sighed: "Auntie, obviously the children came out of my belly, why are they more like husbands." ”

The aunt smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, she was like her father when she was a child, and she looks like her mother when she grows up." ”

"Really?"

Li Yue glanced back at his son, his eyes were looking around, this child was strong from the moment he was born, every breath he took was hard when he was born, and he is now.

The aunt lifted the child in her arms, "This little marquis's nose is very similar to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Not long after the couple became parents, the first daughter was only three years old, and sometimes it felt wonderful, but anyone who was familiar with it knew whose child it was at a glance.

However, her daughter was brought up by Xiong, and she was very close to Xiong.

Now Her Royal Highness the princess is also in her twenties, and her temperament is more dignified and dignified.

And the county marquis is also twenty-eight, and the husband and wife are growing.

On weekdays, Zhang Yang's life is very casual, but now he has the aura that a Lishan man should have when he dresses up well

Li Yue looked at her husband who was walking aside, "I heard the princess of Qingque say that recently, the court and the central government have begun to discuss the affairs of Daming Palace again." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yanghu said suspiciously: "Isn't there a conclusion to this matter?" ”

Li Yue nodded and said: "When the winter first came, the court did have a conclusion, but when the emperor was resting, he had a long talk with Fang Xiang and Zhao Guogong, even if the construction of Daming Palace is not at the moment, it will still be built when the time comes." ”

The emperor still arranged for people to be stationed in Longshouyuan, which just shows that at least until now, he has not given up the land of Longshouyuan.

Maybe Li Shimin just thinks that the current Chang'an Palace is not suitable for living.

The couple walked into the study, intending to deal with the file in front of them, and Li Yue went to take a nap first.

Aunt Wang coaxed the child to sleep and said, "Today I heard that Xu Jingzong often goes to see His Majesty alone. ”

"Maybe it's because of the Ministry of Rites, the envoys of all countries in the Great Court have come to congratulate, and he is probably very busy."

Zhang Yang replied lightly, but after thinking about it again, he put down the file in his hand, and remembered the words reminded by the teacher at the beginning, the teacher is a person who is good at calculating people's hearts, otherwise he would not have used an almost absurd move at that time, so that Li Shimin had the courage to launch the Xuanwumen Change.

The teacher said at the beginning that he, the Marquis of Lishan County, and Xu Jingzong are not all the way.

Back then, everyone served in the Ministry of Rites together and mingled in the court, and now Xu Jingzong has become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is fully competent in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites with his ability.

However, how Li Shimin arranged him is just two words, and now that I think back on what the teacher said, you and Xu Jingzong are not all the way after all.

Maybe it's really not a person all the way, everyone has their own goals, and at the moment, he and Xu Jingzong still maintain a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

One day, Xu Jingzong will be able to stand on his own feet, and now he has been working hard for this goal.

The king of Hejian County also said that the Ministry of Rites cannot be bullied, so he chose Xu Jingzong.

Zhang Yang let out a sigh of relief and continued to mark the file and map.

After taking a nap for an hour, Li Yue took some of her aunt's hot buns and looked at the file while eating.

After a long time, Li Yue relaxed his back, "There is only the land of Gaoling left." ”

Zhang Yang took a deep breath, "There are only three volumes left." ”

It was the time of the Chinese New Year's Eve celebration, Aunt Yang also came back with Xiao Qingqing, and the two aunts looked at the two masters of Lishan and were also a little distressed, and the couple could not let go of the things in their hands until now, and they had to continue to be busy.

In the afternoon, Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong came to Lishan and saw the two elders, and Zhang Yang also felt warm in his heart.

Lishan has close neighbors and elders to take care of.

Li Xiaogong seemed to have just woken up from drunkenness, he poured a sip of tea: "Chu Mo went to Chang'an City to meet the elders, even if this kid is confused, he has taken his wife to see his family, if he doesn't go to the old man, he will tie him up." ”

"This person is like this, and escaping can only be used for a while."

"Hmm." Li Xiaogong couldn't help nodding, "He is the eldest son of the Cheng Biting Jin family, and he wants to inherit the family business." ”

Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Li Xiaogong grabbed the jerky on the side and whispered: "Qingque said that he would come later, the old man heard that you still have a lot of sauced beef at home, don't hide it, take it out at night and eat together." ”

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, "Did His Royal Highness King Jin say it?" ”

Li Xiaogong was a little proud, "The child's mind is still good, but he is too easy to be bullied." ”

Li Yuan smiled heartily, "The children are gone, and this Lishan looks deserted." ”

After a while, Li Tai and his princess Wei also came, and the family began to arrange the evening meal.

In Li Xiaogong's words, the county marquis and princess of Lishan are not easy to be in front of people, and most of them will not go down the mountain at night, so everyone will go up the mountain together.

Not long after, Li Jing also came with the red whisk girl.

Zhang Yang cleaned up the tables and chairs by the Huaqing pool, and saw that Li Yue and the Red Whisk Girl were discussing something.

At night, the evening meal is also ready, the meal on Lishan is a simple hot pot, three small stoves are placed on the table, and everyone sits around the three hot pots on the table.

The red-whisked girl said in a low voice: "County Marquis, I just told Her Royal Highness the princess that you would be willing to help inquire about the bearded guest." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong, and Li Tai's eyes brushed over.

Since Li Jing and the Red Whisker Girl separated from the bearded guest, there has been no news of this person.

His Majesty also sent someone to investigate, it is said that it is not difficult for the emperor to track down a person, and I don't know if Li Shimin deliberately concealed it, or no one asked at all, and there has been no news about this matter until now.

As soon as they heard that Zhang Yang was going to help the Red Whisk Girl and Li Jing inquire about the bearded guest, everyone's eyes were over.

Zhang Yang took out some spinach from the pot and put it in his bowl, "This pepper and salt are made by ourselves, I don't know if it suits your appetite." ”

The Red Whisk Girl put down the chopsticks in her hand, obviously looking displeased.

Li Jing sighed: "Zhang Yang, the old man heard that you have some power in Liaodong?" ”

"Don't hide it from the general, the soldiers and horses in Liaodong were brought by Wen Ting, the son of Mr. Wen Yanbo, and this army does not belong to the Ministry of War, nor does it belong to the Liaodong Prefecture.

"There are not many soldiers and horses in this army, and now they are all arranged by Da'an, and at present, I have this force in my hands but it is not under my control."

Li Yue calmly ate his meal and didn't say much.

Glancing at General Li Jing's expression, Zhang Yang said discouragedly: "I can try and arrange for someone to find out the news of the bearded guest." ”

After that, the red whisk girl raised the wine bowl and said loudly: "If you can find the bearded guest, a certain Zhang Chuchen owes you a great favor in Lishan." ”

Zhang Yang hurriedly toasted in unison, "You are my daughter's teacher, you don't have to be like this, I can only say do my best." ”

The red-whisked woman nodded heavily.

The dinner table returned to normal, and after Xiao Qingqing woke up, he climbed into Li Yuan's arms and asked the grandfather to give her food.

Li Xiaogong rarely didn't drink alcohol, peeled a salted duck egg, put it in a rice bowl, and mixed it with rice to eat, which was also very fragrant.

I rarely eat rice on weekdays, but last year the weather in Lishan was not good, and the rice harvested was not much.

Rice is scarce and can only be eaten on important festivals.

Li Yuan stroked his beard and said, "It's not early, and I have gone back to rest." ”

Li Xiaogong and Li Tai also got up when they saw the situation, Zhang Yang sent everyone away, and waited for Li Tai, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuan to go away.

Li Jing paused slightly and said, "The matter of the bearded guest is up to you." ”

Zhang Yang replied: "I must do my best." ”

There were many entanglements between the early stage of the Zhenguan Dynasty and the former Sui Dynasty, and these entanglements were like a haze, lingering in the hearts of many people.

The house was quiet, and it was almost time for a meal.

Xiao Qingqing came quickly, "Daddy, my mother said that there are fireworks to watch tonight." ”

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, you go to the roof and wait, and then you come to the west of Lishan by yourself, that is, there will be fireworks when you arrive in the direction of Chang'an City.

Aunt Yang took her to the roof, from where you could see the fireworks in the west.

Li Yue put her hands behind her back, looked up at the moonlight and stars tonight, she looked at the position of the stars and the moon and whispered, "The time has come." ”

Now she can tell the direction, altitude angle and hour by looking at the stars.

When I was a child, I was a scholar, and now my realm of using the star calendar is no worse than Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.

The astrological calendar is not so mysterious, it is a very old mathematics.

Coupled with some knowledge taught to her by later generations, Li Yue mastered it faster, in the simplified algorithm of later generations, in this knowledge-deficient Tang Dynasty, it may take ten years for ordinary people to learn the star calendar, and Li Yue only took three years.

Zhang Yang carried a torch to the foothills of the west of Lishan, which was the place where the princes of the Zhou Youwang Fenghuo played in the past.

There are many legends in the ancient Lishan Mountain, and now the beacon tower is gone, and all that is left is dead wood and loess.

Feeling that the night wind had weakened a lot, Zhang Yang put down a bamboo tube, lit the lead, and watched the lead burn into the bamboo tube, only to hear an explosion, and a huge firework bloomed in the night sky very gorgeously.

Just as he was in the middle of the day, Niu Chuang and a few villagers were still shivering in the cold wind.

"Brother Niu! Lishan is released! ”

After turning his head to look at the fuse, Niu Chuang picked up the torch and lit the fuse.

This is a way of transmitting information, and the first fireworks set off in Lishan means that the time has come.

Five miles outside Chang'an City, a hundred fireworks were placed here, and the flames also ignited the fire oil on the ground, and the flames burned down the fire oil like a fire snake, and all the fuses were ignited.

At this moment, Li Shimin led the crowd and the envoys of various countries in strange costumes to stand in front of the Taiji Palace.

In front of the Taiji Palace, tens of thousands of soldiers were gathered, shouting in unison for the victory of the Tang Dynasty.

Before the chanting stopped, the night sky in the distance exploded, and huge fireworks burst into the night sky.

Seeing this, Li Shimin's expression was finally satisfied, Zhang Yang, this kid, did what he said, his fireworks can bring more people's hearts to the market, and can make the military spirit in the army more stable.

This is the grand scene that Tian Khan wants, and this is the initial stage of the peak national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

Fireworks lit up Chang'an City, and there was still a lot of people in Chang'an City without a curfew.

However, the moment the fireworks exploded, the entire Chang'an City fell silent, and everyone looked up at the vision in the night sky.

The fireworks are very gorgeous, hundreds of fireworks bloom together, and there are fireworks exploding in the south, east, and west of Chang'an City in all directions that people can see.

The magnificent sight is in everyone's eyes, as if only the splendor of the night sky is left in people's eyes.

Li Shimin stood in front of the Taiji Hall and watched the fireworks with his ministers, the fireworks came suddenly and ended quickly.

When the gorgeous fireworks were over, the soldiers in front of the Taiji Hall shouted Datang Wansheng in a louder voice.

At this time, regardless of the civil and military sides in front of the main hall, everyone's spirit and spirit have improved to a new realm, which is a kind of self-confidence that looks at all directions from the heart.

Half a moment later, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the Taiji Hall also ended.

Songtsen Gampo walked out of Chengtianmen step by step along the crowd, he had lived in Chang'an City for a long time for the second year, and he only knew that the Tang Dynasty was strong in Tubo before.

Now that he is in Chang'an City, he has watched again and again how the Tang Dynasty has grown, how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, and how the officials of the Tang Dynasty have ruled.

In the past two years, this is the biggest harvest of Songtsen Gampo in Chang'an City.

When he walked out of the Suzaku Gate, he met the king of Goguryeo.

This Goguryeo king has been demoted to a commoner, and it is said that he was a street sweeper in the Gyeongzhao Mansion, and he wore a shabby cloth robe and constantly saluted in the direction of Suzak Gate.

The king of Goguryeo was a very pitiful person, but there was no one to pity in the Tang Dynasty, everything in Goguryeo was to blame, Goguryeo was destroyed by Yuangai Suwen, and destroyed by Goguryeo's land separation.

Only then did Zhang Da'an justifiably take the royal capital of Goguryeo.

Yuangai Suwen saw the current Western Turkic Little Khan again, when the Western Turks were in civil strife, and the Khan was fighting with the mud.
