Datang: Li Shimin eavesdropped on my heart

Chapter 170 The bustling Chang’an City on New Year’s Eve
into the night.

In Chang'an City, there are lights and festoons everywhere.

You can see fireworks exploding in the sky everywhere.

This night is very beautiful.

Since the implementation of the New Deal, Datang has canceled the curfew in Chang'an City.

The reason why Chang'an City is so lively tonight.

It's because tonight is New Year's Eve.

Royal Palace.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Emperor Li Shimin, sitting on the dragon chair.

Eunuch Xu stood in the hall, reporting something.

"Your Majesty, that's all the dishes that will be sent to the prefectures this year."

"If His Majesty feels that there is nothing to change, then this old slave will go down and arrange to send New Year's food to various prefectures."

"It's okay to send dishes to other provinces, just follow the menu you read just now."

"However, Kuan'er made great contributions this year."

"Let Jiangnan's officialdom change over again."

"Slapping five surnames, seven Wang, and one Duo Guang severely, made me feel a lot better."

"In this way, let's double the original menu for the New Year's dishes sent to Chu Palace this year!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, that's it!"

"Eunuch Xu, go down and arrange for people to send New Year's food to each government!"

After receiving a nod from Emperor Li Shimin, Eunuch Xu withdrew.

Under Xu Gonggong's arrangement.

One hundred dragon guards were divided into twenty teams.

Each team has five dragon guards.

Headed towards the various prefectures.

Eunuch Xu brought five dragon guards to the Chu Palace in person.

"Your Highness, what you are wearing looks really good."

In Chu Wangfu.

Li Kuan and the others did not have dinner.

Instead, they were all in the yard, waiting for the emperor to send the New Year's food.

This is the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

It's not that everyone can get the New Year's food given by the emperor.

Anyone who has identity and status.

Or someone who has made contributions to Datang.

Only then can you be eligible to get the New Year's food given by the emperor.

And before the emperor gave New Year's food.

They will greet each government in advance.

On the day when the emperor presents the New Year's dishes, it is not possible to eat in advance.

All of them must wait in the mansion, waiting for the emperor to arrange the Longwei to deliver the New Year's food.

Soon.

Eunuch Xu came to Chu Palace with five dragon guards.

Behind Eunuch Xu, five dragon guards, each holding a basket in both hands.

There are five or six dishes in each basket.

Every time a dish is delivered, Eunuch Xu will read the name of the dish.

At the same time when Eunuch Xu was delivering New Year’s food to the Prince Chu’s Mansion, all the mansions in Chang’an City.

They also vaguely received the New Year's dishes presented by the emperor.

……

"Mr. Huang, look over there, there is a lantern riddle game."

"Why don't we go and have a look!"

"Fine!"

"Guanyin maid."

This time is the time for New Year's Eve dinner.

however.

Datang, the most powerful couple.

But I ate the New Year's Eve dinner early.

They came to Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an City.

Li Shimin, with his arms around Empress Changsun, walked towards the fan-like game in front of him.

And not far from the couple.

There are eight dragon guards in plain clothes closely following him, responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor and empress.

This Longwei is the Ouchi guard before the New Deal.

It is under the control of the Dragon Department.

Now the boss of Longbu is not Hu Junlang.

Originally, Li Kuan was thinking of recommending Hu Junlang beside him to his father, and let Hu Junlang take up the position of Dragon King.

but.

The world is unpredictable!
There are many things, no matter how well you plan.

Nothing can be changed.

Li Kuan still has some things that need to be done by Hu Junlang.

Only Hu Junlang can do it.

This is not to say that Li Kuan has no one who can reuse him except Hu Junlang.

There are still many people who Li Kuan can reuse.

Not to mention his status as a prince, some people want to work for him.

Li Kuan himself created a Jianghu power.

That is the Jiangzuo League.

He still doesn't want his power in the rivers and lakes to surface.

So for some things, it is better to let the Jiangzuo League less face, let the Jiangzuo League less face out.

Since Li Kuan didn't want Hu Junlang to be the Dragon King, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and other important court officials, after discussion.

It was decided to let Xu An, the acting dragon king, become a regular.

Remove the word "generation" in front of it.

From now on, Xu An no longer has to bear the word "generation" in front of him.

Instead, he directly became the official acting king.

When Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came to the lamp fan stage.

I saw lanterns of various colors with various lantern fans written on them.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at the lanterns one by one, thinking about the fans on them.

"A bird without feathers is blown in the air."

"Hit a toy."

"Cold cold, type an idiom."

"Festive fireworks."

"Well, the answer is..."

"A bird without feathers is blown in the air."

"The answer to this riddle is the kite."

"Cold cold, type an idiom."

"If my guess is correct, this should be the bottom of the puzzle."

"Indecent."

……

The bustling Chang'an City seemed to be going crazy.

Very lively.

And the emperor and queen.

They had fun with the people and had a great time.

I don't know how long it has been.

Under the reminder of Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin was playing games with several children.

Only then did he remember that he had to return to the palace.

According to the palace rules of previous years.

When the child arrives.

His princes and princesses.

They will all go to the palace to pay New Year greetings to him and the eldest grandson empress.

So Li Shimin took out a few taels of silver from a dragon guard.

After giving it to the children in front of me.

Only then did he return to the palace with Empress Changsun.

And when the emperor and empress returned to the palace.

Long Wei, who was in charge of delivering last year's dishes to the various prefectures, had already delivered the dishes to the various prefectures.

The dragon guards have also returned to their respective posts.

This year is the first year of the New Deal.

So the Dragon Guards did not have annual leave this year.

Because they need to be responsible for the security of Chang'an City.

Of course, the Chang'an Criminal and Arrest Division and the Chang'an Patrol Division did not rest.

They are also on duty.

Royal Palace.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

"My sons and daughters give New Year's greetings to father and queen."

"My sons and daughters are paying New Year's greetings to their father and queen."

"My sons and daughters give New Year's greetings to father and queen."

"To my father and queen, New Year's greetings..."

"..."

""

Li Shimin.

Looking at the princes and princesses who came to pay him New Year's greetings.

I couldn't close my mouth with a smile.

I don't know how long it took.

The princes and princesses who came to pay New Year's greetings all retreated.

And after these princes and princesses paid their respects.

Both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun gave them big red envelopes.

"Eunuch Xu, my prince and princesses have all finished their New Year greetings!"

"Is there anyone else who hasn't come to give me New Year's greetings?"

"I'm a little sleepy."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are still three princes who have not come to pay New Year's greetings."

"His Royal Highness King Chu, His Royal Highness King Wei, and King Jin."

Eunuch Xu just named the names of the three Highnesses.

Didn't think so.

At this moment, Li Tai's figure appeared.

"The son and minister came to pay New Year's greetings to the father and the queen."

"I wish the royal father and the queen mother a smooth sailing in their year of marriage."

"The two dragons soar, the three goats prosper, the four seasons are safe, the five blessings come to the door, and the six and six are smooth."

"Seven stars shine brightly, wealth comes from all directions, ninety-nine are of the same heart."

"Perfect, everything is prosperous, everything is auspicious and everything goes well!"

"Happy New Year in the Year of the Horse!"
