Chapter 386: I, Li Shimin, also want to be the emperor

Li Shimin looked at these pieces in front of his desk, and he didn't know why, Li Shimin suddenly felt a little headache, hey, he must have not rested well.

"Chang Lin, you send these pieces to various departments in the three provinces, let them recount some of the data in them, and then send them back to me after the New Year's holiday, about Chang'an County's return to the homeless person, you stay first, I have nothing to do in the past few days." Li Shimin thought for a while.

"Yes!" Chang Lin nodded, and immediately called a group of little eunuchs in, held all the pieces on the table, and then sent them to the respective yamen of the three provinces.

"Tomorrow is the New Year, you will count the situation of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and implement them according to the practice of previous years."

"Your Majesty."

Chang Lin went to send the chapter here, Li Shimin looked at the rest of the things on the table about the return of the homeless people, and glanced at it a few times.

Oops, my head hurts, forget it, go to Guanyin to sit there, call Wei Guifei, Concubine Yin and a few of them come over to play mahjong, this mahjong is still good, this is about to take a break for the New Year, you should rest, you have to rest, this is not what Sun Zhenren said!

Li Shimin also simply left the Liangyi Hall and went to the Lizheng Palace. Hey, this year's New Year must be very interesting, everyone plays mahjong!

Whoever wants to deal with this government affairs will deal with it, hey, speaking of which, if it is possible, Li Shimin will not be too lazy to attend the Yuan Zheng Dynasty, otherwise let Li Tai forget it.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Ke was woken up by the sound of firecrackers in the morning, and it was Tian Meng in the mansion who asked people to start setting off firecrackers.

Firecrackers have already been invented, and even some fireworks are available, but the real fireworks were invented in history and prevailed in the Song Dynasty, and now there are only firecrackers in the Tang Dynasty. For example, the Spring Festival couplets also originated in the Song Dynasty and prevailed in the Ming Dynasty.

The New Year's Eve or Chinese New Year's Eve of the Tang Dynasty is still very lively, and the people of the Tang Dynasty today will put up lanterns in every household, and the candles bought within a year will be lit in today's lanterns, and today's Chang'an City and even the entire Tang Dynasty will become a city that never sleeps, a country that never sleeps.

Even in some remote places, where people do not have candles, they are willing to prepare enough wood in advance to light a fire in the yard.

Tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve, there will be a variety of puppet dramas in different places in Chang'an City of the Great Tang Dynasty, which are derived from the gradual evolution of the sacrificial dances of ancient times, and these puppets will be all over Chang'an City, including folk and official, of course, various aristocratic families will also have them, and similarly, there will naturally be in the palace.

In addition to these, there are also various other performances, such as puppet shows from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions of later generations, which were called puppet shows in later generations, and will be staged in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty.

Today's night, there will be a vigil in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the people will guard the time, until dawn, from the emperor to the princes and nobles to the common people, it is the case, and in addition to this day, hang New Year's paintings, Limen God, etc., but the Spring Festival couplets will not become popular until the Great Song Dynasty.

And the door gods Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, who are familiar to everyone in later generations, are actually not popular in this era.

After all, these two people are still alive, they flourished in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and the door god of the Tang Dynasty because of the rise of the Sui Dynasty to worship Guan Erye, and now the popular first brother of the Tang Dynasty door god is Guan Erye, and Zhang Fei is the second brother.

There is no curfew in Chang'an City today, and all kinds of lanterns will be hung up in various locations in Chang'an City, and the entire Chang'an City is brightly lit today.

Although because of the candles, there will definitely be a lot of small fires in Chang'an City today, but the big fire will not happen, one is that today is the focus of Jin Wuwei's focus time, and almost all of Jin Wuwei on the street are patrolling.

The second is that everyone keeps a New Year's Eve and almost no one sleeps, everyone is awake, and even if some candles fall and burn something, the fire will not be too big, and it will be extinguished soon.

And the first day of the tenth year of Zhenguan, that is, the Yuan Zheng of the Tang Dynasty, is the beginning of the year, the Yuan Zheng day is the largest annual court meeting, very grand, the officials in the Beijing division must not be absent for no reason, and many officials who have returned to the Beijing division from the place also have to go to the court today. In addition, the envoys of various countries must pay their respects and enter the palace to congratulate His Majesty the Tang Emperor on his long life.

Similarly, tomorrow's Yuanzheng Li Shimin will have to have the first meal with the ministers, and then these officials can go home to reunite with their families, while officials like Li Daozong, who are stationed in the frontier or in the Tang Dynasty, are not allowed to return to Beijing or return to their hometowns without permission, and they will either take their families to their territories for the New Year, or they can only go to different places.

Therefore, the Spring Festival has been around since ancient times.

On the day of Yuanzheng, almost all the people of the Tang Dynasty will prepare food, and then greet each other for the New Year, all the guests have food to eat no matter where they go, of course, the folk and the nobility are naturally not the same, but in the same way, the folk will also come up with the best things of the year to entertain guests.

It can be said that the New Year of the Tang Dynasty is very festive, Li Ke has passed several New Year's Days, he is naturally very touched, of course, Li Ke is very sure that this year's New Year will inevitably be more lively.

As for why he said that, of course, it was because of the fun he prepared for Li Ke! Hehe, fireworks, according to the development of history, it was developed in the Song Dynasty, but Li Ke came, and he still has books, so the development speed of this thing is naturally not the same.

Therefore, Li Ke has already made fireworks that can only appear in the Song Dynasty and can fly into the sky.

Of course, what degree of splendor is not comparable to that of later generations, and it can't be compared, but in this era, it is naturally colorful, and tonight, it is definitely the brightest cub in Chang'an City! Hey, hey, hey!

However, today is the last day of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Ke still has to enter the palace for his father, and the queen mother first visited in advance to say that they can't keep vigil with them today, and then they will pay New Year's greetings tomorrow.

The New Year's greetings of the Tang Dynasty are not the same as those of later generations, the men of the Tang Dynasty are in Yuanzheng, and the descendants of the descendants will kneel and bow to the elders, and kneel on the ground to buckle their heads, but the women of the Tang Dynasty do not need to kneel on the ground, they only need to stand and bend forward and bow their hands.

So from a certain point of view, women in the early and middle Tang Dynasty were one of the dynasties with the highest status of women in the feudal era, and there was nothing wrong with it.

In the morning, Li Ke came out of Qin Wangzhuang and went straight to the palace, because he still had arrangements in the afternoon and evening today, so Li Ke also went to the palace in advance to sue his father and the emperor.

When he arrived at Changle Gate, looking at the vehicle in front of him on the left, Li Ke couldn't help but be happy, yo, it's still such a coincidence, isn't this the eldest grandson Dalang! Of course, not only the eldest grandson Dalang, the eldest grandson of Erlang, the eldest grandson of Sanlang, the eldest grandson of Shilang, etc., all came, and they naturally came to visit the eldest grandson queen and Li Shimin as juniors.

In addition to the eldest grandson Wuji's wife is Xingyang Zheng, one of the eldest grandson Wuji's younger sisters married the Taiyuan Wang family, and the other sister married the Hedong Liu family, like his elder brothers married the daughters of various gate valve families.

So...... Hey, the more you understand this era, the more you can understand Li Shimin's powerlessness, the gate valve family, it is really not so easy to cut off their influence on the entire Tang Dynasty. Except for the root-digging behavior that Li Ke was about to carry out, no other behavior could destroy their true strength at all.

Seeing Li Ke, Changsun Chong's face turned green, although he kept praying on the way not to meet Li Ke, not to meet Li Ke, but he still met it.

Seeing the eldest grandson rushing at them, Li Ke didn't leave, so he waited here at Changle Gate with a smile, waiting for them to come over.

Li Ke's appearance, Changsun Chong could only come over with a wry smile, forget it, I've been used to it for so many years.

Don't say that Changsun Chong is used to it, these younger brothers behind him are extremely helpless at the moment, and they are obviously used to it, otherwise what else can they do?

When they came over, Changsun Chong and the others directly bent down and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin." ”

"No courtesy." Li Ke smiled and waved his hand.

Looking at the smile on Li Ke's face, the corners of Changsun Chong's mouth twitched, and then he simply took the initiative to walk in front of Li Ke, and then stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist and gently hammered Li Ke's shoulder on Li Ke's shoulder, and then he took a step back skillfully, ready to squat down with his head in his hands.

Eldest Sun Chong's behavior made Li Ke stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but be happy, hey, I'm quite conscious this year, but I wasn't so conscious in previous years.

"Haha, eldest grandson Dalang, why haven't you seen me for a long time, missed me?" Li Ke laughed twice, he suddenly felt that the eldest grandson Chong was very cute, and he didn't want to beat people today.

So Li Ke simply walked over, directly reached out and grabbed Changsun Chong's shoulder, and then dragged him shoulder to shoulder, and said while walking towards the palace: "Look, what do you mean by this?" Do you think I'm going to hit you? ”

"Won't it?" Eldest Sun Chong looked at Li Ke a little blankly.

"I'm fine, what am I beating you for, am I Li Ke such an unreasonable person? Come on, let's chat, are you here to pay New Year's greetings to my father and queen mother? Li Ke said with a smile.

Eldest Sun Chong: "......" has been in Zhenguan for ten years soon, do you know how I have lived for more than nine years? Are you embarrassed to say that?

Eldest Sun Chong's younger brothers: "......"
