Crown Tang emperor

Although most of the Li and Tang clans withered, there were exceptions. Apart from the Li Tong family who went upstream, there was another family that had finally waited for their spring, that is, the descendants of Wu Wang Li Ke.

During the Yonghui period, Changsun Wuji exercised power and killed Li Ke. Although after Changsun Wuji fell, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi pursued Li Ke, but he still did not pardon Li Ke's sons. Ke's title.

It was not until Gaozong died and Empress Wu came to court that Li Ke's children and grandchildren were pardoned and returned to the current situation to do their own work.It can also be seen from this that Wu Zetian did not have a natural enmity with the Li family, the key is that you have to remember to eat and fight.

For example, Li Ke's eldest son, Li Ren, took office as governor of another state. The honor was given to Li Qianli.

Li Yi is the son of Li Kun, the third son of Li Ke, who is about the same age as Li Tong. His father served as the governor in another state, while he stayed in Chongwenguan to study.

Originally, Li Tong watched the streams for a long time, and he didn't catch a cold with those historical celebrities, but after seeing Li Wei in Chongwen Museum, his heart throbbed again. After chatting, he brought Li Yi to his palace to replace him. Wang Renjiao is the Sima of the palace, and he wants to train this little pony.

Such days are busy and fulfilling, and there are small surprises from time to time, which is also comfortable.

But after retiring from the imperial court one day in late September, when he was having dinner with his grandma, Wu Zetian's words made Li Tong feel uneasy again. His grandma actually asked him to meet his fourth uncle Li Dan and ask if there was any Dragon Gate Ceremony in October. What are the special requirements for rituals of cultural relics.

Chapter 0208 Mud sells Yushu, the tragedy of humanity

"My lord, where are you going to file a case today?"

Li Tong withdrew from the palace, and Yang Sixu who was waiting outside hurried forward to ask for instructions.

"Not going anywhere!"

Li Tong replied in a muffled voice, really unable to lift his emotions.He resisted from the bottom of his heart to see his fourth uncle Li Dan, but there was no other complicated reason, it was just a guilty conscience.

During this period of time, he has been presenting the scriptures of auspiciousness and compiling the books of rites, and it can be said that he has enjoyed selling his ancestral property.Under such circumstances, if they went to see his fourth uncle, the nominal parent, they would not be very happy. It would be embarrassing if his fourth uncle was so angry that he would spit on him face to face.

But since his grandma has explained it, it's not easy to refuse.Li Tong stood outside the palace for a while, and Wei Tuan'er, the palace maid, had already hurried out with a special pass order.Although Wei Tuan'er has taken charge of some palace affairs now, he still doesn't have any clear official duties.

"Keep the king waiting for a long time."

Wei Tuan'er is wearing a light yellow skirt today, with a thick brocade drape wrapped around his upper body. The dignified snail bun is still gorgeous, but it is a little less coquettish.

She held the palace talisman in the brocade bag in her hand, pulled her skirt as a salute, and signaled the young king to go first, while she followed behind, and said with a smile as she walked: "This concubine is in charge of all things in the palace. I often hear sages praising your majesty's talent and elegance, if you know that your majesty is going to pay homage to your Majesty today, you must be happy."

Li Tong smiled wryly after hearing the words, then subconsciously glanced at Wei Tuan'er, his mood was somewhat complicated.

People always get to know better through contact. He didn't have a good impression of Wei Tuan'er at the beginning, he only thought that Wei Tuan'er was a crazy maid who relied on her favor and lost her sense of proportion, and he had the idea of ​​keeping her at a respectful distance.

But since we met, Wei Tuan'er's kindness to him has also complicated his feelings towards Wei Tuan'er, at least he won't have the idea of ​​pushing him to his fourth uncle.It's not that he is greedy for beauty or the convenience the other party gives him, it's just that he treats someone with good intentions, so it's hard to have any frivolous flirting thoughts.

Right now, he couldn't bear to sit back and watch the other party repeat the same mistakes, and he couldn't help wanting to persuade him. If Wei Tuan'er still refused to listen, he would have nothing to say.

After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and said softly: "Why don't I want to play tricks in front of His Majesty the Sage for a long time, but the Sage lives in a quiet palace, and if there is a wrong reward from afar, he may not like my rambunctious voice. Poor ability, respectful to walk under the emperor's imperial lord, keeping this kindness and using it is afraid of disappointment, trembling, and only seeks one. Human affairs cannot be perfect, and love is difficult to be smooth. Walking in two palaces, favor one and treat the other, feel ashamed whether you can take care of both .The purpose of today's prostration is to plead guilty, and I really dare not covet the reward of the sage."

My own grandson and my own nephew feel embarrassed between their embarrassing mother and son, you better stop thinking so much, little maid, and doing such saucy operations.

After hearing this, Wei Tuan'er just lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was thinking about the meaning of the words, but as he walked, his pretty face flushed.Li Tong didn't know how much she could understand, but it was really hard to say this kind of thing too bluntly.

When a group of people turned around the palace corridor and walked to Quxiang, Wei Tuan'er stepped up a little bit, until the tail of the silk drape was wiped on the belt of Li Tong's robe, and then he whispered like a mosquito: "I know I can't go wild. The qualifications of the wild cattail, even if it is transplanted to the imperial garden by grace, cannot be exempted from humbleness. In the past life, it is obsessed with vanity, and it is ignorant to know its level. Even if wild cattail is humble, it also has tough silk all over its body, but there is a eucalyptus tree that can reward a branch to cling to, even if the root is pinched. Cut off the stem, even if it is broken, the silk will not let go of this branch!"

Hearing this, Li Tong paused and stopped.And Wei Tuan'er just stared at the young king's side face, caught off guard, half of his body bumped into the young king's back shoulder, passed by, staggered forward, dived and fell.

Li Tong hastily raised his hand to grab Wei Tuan'er's raised arm in panic, and pulled his soft and tender body back into his arms. After the charming thoughts were born, he was startled suddenly, and he missed it a few feet away, and then turned to Wei Tuan. Er said: "Miss Wei, be careful on the way forward."

Wei Tuan'er was still in shock, panting for a few breaths, and after a while, it was Xiafei's cheeks, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Walk like a fool, you can't take care of yourself, let the king laugh at you."

When they walked again, they deliberately distanced themselves from each other, but Li Tong could still feel Wei Tuan'er's brilliant eyes falling on him frequently, and felt a little speechless in his heart.

A passage of his painstaking persuasion seemed to be misunderstood by the other party as jealousy with his fourth uncle, and he didn't want Wei Tuan'er to get too close.And the other party's soft but somewhat firm words, although he felt a little unbearable, but it can't be said that he didn't feel any gratitude at all.

Forget it, let's take a step at a time.Although there is no famous horse drunk and whipped, but there are so many beauties with affection, this damn beauty and talent that can't be concealed is really helpless.

Emperor Li Dan's family lived in Zhuangjingyuan in the north of the forbidden area. There was Taoguang Garden open channel with flowing water flowing around, and there were many precious flowers and trees on the banks. It is late autumn now. The distribution and the environment are very gorgeous, far from what they could compare to the Renzhi Yuan where they lived in the forbidden center earlier.

Of course, there is nothing to compare with, not to mention that Li Tong had nowhere to lick at that time, even now, with his fourth uncle's status, no matter how mean Wu Zetian was, he wouldn't even neglect the basic living expenses of this little boy. son.

Around Zhuangjingyuan, there are bright and dark sentries of the Forbidden Army widely distributed, and the general of the Forbidden Army on duty here is Zuo Qianniuwei Zhonglang General Wu Sizong, which also shows Wu Zetian's vigilant attitude.

When Li Tong and his party came here, Wu Yizong interrogated him. He was wearing armor and standing at the head of the Qushui pontoon bridge with his sword in hand. He seemed to be trying to put on a majestic posture, but his legs were stubby. , the height is not even comparable to that of Li Tong, who is still in the developmental stage, so it's a bit of a shame.

Wei Tuan'er stepped forward to present the palace talisman, and while Wu Sizong was inspecting the talisman, Li Tong looked him up and down, and couldn't help feeling that the genes of the Wu family were really not easy to evaluate. I mean respect.

This is not a small problem in ancient times when people were accustomed to judging people by their appearance.In fact, the previous generation of the samurai family had nothing to boast about other than the samurai Xun.Samurai Xun was able to mix from a merchant to the founding Yuan, which shows his intelligence.With such a calculation, his grandmother Wu Zetian was also lucky, inheriting the genetic advantages of her parents.

"Although it's the God Emperor's password, please remember, Your Majesty, the life of a saint is still elegant, so don't stay for too long."

Wu Sizong naturally didn't have a good face towards the young king. After checking the amulet, he smiled at Wei Tuan'er, then glanced at Li Tong, and then retreated to one side while holding his sword.

Li Tong walked to the end of the bridge, looked down with sideways eyes, and then walked onto the pontoon bridge with a chuckle.

The Zhongguan went in first to report the news, and when Li Tongxing arrived at the door, several people from the courtyard came out to welcome him. The first one was Cao Wei, the Zhongguan who had been to the Academy of Renzhi during the New Year's Eve.

It's just that when we met this time, the eunuch Cao Wei didn't have the good face of the last time. Although he was not rude, he only had a stern face and rarely smiled.

Li Tong also knew that he was not likable, so he didn't care about such a small matter, he walked into the courtyard under the guidance of the palace staff of Zhuang Jingyuan, and heard the sound of silk and bamboo outside the hall, it seems that his fourth uncle has a rich life and entertainment.

He first stood outside the corridor, waited until the middle official passed the message, and then went up to the hall, raised his eyes and glanced hurriedly, and saw a middle-aged man in a yellow robe sitting upright in the hall, looking down, knowing that it was the emperor Li Dan went to the hall and bowed down: "I see the saint."

Generally, when meeting the emperor, the courtiers had to call themselves "the minister so-and-so official so-and-so". If they were close to the courtiers, they could also directly call the emperor everyone.However, Li Tong's official position, including his name, was obtained by selling his ancestors and property. He was really embarrassed to call himself in front of his fourth uncle, so he simply kept it simple.

Emperor Li Dan, as the youngest son of the Ersheng, was only 27 or [-] years old, but due to his special status and situation, he was not as vigorous as he was in his prime, but he was not depressed.

After the young king ascended the palace, Li Dan kept looking at him. When he heard the name of the salute, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes. He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment before raising his hand and saying: "We meet in the inner palace, you don't need to be polite. , get up."

After Li Tong heard the words, he still kowtowed and then bowed his body and took small steps back to the side seat and knelt down.The reason why he is so polite is also to imply that his fourth uncle can't help himself in the scene. I am here this time on the order of my grandma and your mother. Even if you want to have a fit or hit the dog, you still have to look at the master.

However, he was a bit of a villain. Although Li Dan didn't have any joy on his face, he didn't show obvious dislike for this nephew. He looked at Li Tong for a moment, and then said: "The sun and the moon are fleeting, and the spring and autumn are not the same. It's different, seeing Erlang's outstanding posture now, I feel even more that the deceased never showed mercy to others, and he has already surpassed his generation in a daze."

Li Tong heard that his fourth uncle's tone was not excited, so he raised his head and looked up.In his previous life, he had seen the emperor when his family returned to Luoyang a few years ago, but it was already blurred and he didn't have much memory.

Looking up at this moment, I was a little surprised.Li Dan has a wide forehead, a high nose, slightly thick lips, and a fat but elegant appearance. Except for the slightly heavy bags under the eyes, there is no obvious sense of anger. Apart from other things, he looks a bit kind and mature at first glance. .

"The little minister is long, he doesn't know beauty or ugliness, he is respectful and cautious, he only peeps and seeks favor, he is afraid of being frustrated, and dare not pretend to be outstanding."

He hastily cupped his hands and said.

After Li Dan heard this, his eyes became dark again, and then he looked at Li Tong seriously, and after a while he sighed: "It's not a barren name. No wonder, your aunt came to see you a few days ago. Much praise for Saburo. Saburo is talented. I have heard about it before. I saw it a long time ago, and I didn’t read it in detail. Today, I am in love with you. Let me remember the old man. No wonder there is a reason for praising Rixuan."

"Reminiscing about old feelings, heavy burdens and wrong rewards. Apart from being sad, the minister is even more frightened."

Li Tong heard people say that he looked like his late father Li Xian more than once. He lowered his head and blinked vigorously, and the eye sockets were sour and astringent, and water vapor gathered.

Seeing his tearful eyes, Li Dan also raised his hand to cover his face, took a few breaths before letting go, and looked at Li Tong with kindness in his eyes: "Even if there is lingering reminiscence, there is little benefit at this time." Saburo can present his talent skillfully, so that my family will not be silent. At this time, how can we bear the harsh teaching when the family is vain. Let the talents be in harmony with the beauty, and don't need to disturb the miscellaneous feelings. It is a tragedy of human nature to destroy the jade tree with mud. How can a few sighs benefit the time?"

Hearing this, Li Tong felt that compared with the fourth uncle, he was really a bit of a villain. He avoided the table and bowed again and said in a concentrated voice: "Thank you, everyone, for forgiving me."

Chapter 0209 Peach and plum on the branch

Li Dan's patience and self-cultivation, not only did not fight against the aggressive mother, but even comforted Li Tong, a scum of the younger generation, Li Tong really thought he was inferior.

Only when people have great hopes can they be tolerant. It is not appropriate for Li Dan to say this.At least, no matter whether he is frustrated or proud, his behavior has not changed much.

Regarding this, Li Tong could only sigh with emotion that it was really strange that people like his grandfather and grandmother could give birth to such a calm and indisputable son.

Because Li Dan had a gentle attitude and did not scold Li Tong for what he had done, the atmosphere in the hall did not have the initial embarrassment.

However, when Li Tong talked about his intentions, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, the Dragon Gate Ceremony was the highlight of usurping the Tang Dynasty, similar to last year's Luo Dian.

Li Dan was quite open to this, and after hearing the words, he just sighed and said: "All the elders of the family, but the youngest is the worst, and he is forced by good things, so he is in this position. His Majesty the God Emperor is imitating the Emperor, but it is a pity that the younger generation is not good enough." , I have to take on the heavy responsibility bravely, so that I can maintain my health in peace. Please ask Sanlang to tell the Emperor, if you have a ride, you can follow the etiquette, and there is no other request."

After hearing this, Li Tong had mixed feelings for a while.He also understands that his fourth uncle is in the current state, and there is really no room for trouble, but with such a willing attitude of resignation, it really makes people have to feel that Tang Guozuo is really a successor to this generation. no one means.

"I respectfully accept the emperor's order, and I must present it to the emperor."

Li Tong responded first, and then said curiously: "In the past, I was ashamed to hide myself, and I didn't dare to disturb Shengzai lightly. Or I was in the ritual, but it was inevitable that I would alienate the relationship. Today, I am ordered to come in, and after passing the edict, I also I should ask for favors again. Otherwise, the empress will know that I am lacking in courtesy and relatives, and she will angrily reprimand my children for being cold."

"Under the high wall, there is a gap in human relationship. This is not the disrespect of the younger generation, but the simplicity of the family. Saburo has such affection, which shows that the sister-in-law is really good at education."

Hearing this, Li Dan also showed a gentle smile on his face, but after a while it was slightly dimmed: "The queen is in trouble, and I don't want your children to be ugly. But your brothers and sisters, even if Saburo doesn't say anything, , I also want to introduce you, let them know that my family is handsome and decent, so that they will not let themselves be self-willed."

Li Tong also knew that the Empress Liu's family had not been punished for a long time, so he must be extremely sad, so he didn't want to harass him, so he took the initiative to bring up this topic, mainly because he wanted to meet the little Saburo in his fourth uncle's house.

But he still got up from the banquet, and retreated outside the hall to pay respects to the queen's dormitory. When he got up after the ceremony, he saw the middle official leading several young men and women along the corridor hall to this line.

The second sage and the fourth son, when it comes to the prosperity of the population, is still the youngest Li Dan.Although the emperor is not very happy, his daily life is very rich. Up to now, he has five sons and seven daughters, three of whom were born this year alone.

But even so, Wu Zetian's branch is still not much compared with Gaozong's other two sons.There are more than a dozen sons of Li Sujie born by Concubine Xiao Shu.Another Li Shangjin also had as many as nine sons.It can be seen that if you are not happy in politics, you can only concentrate on farming and production.With such a huge difference in numbers, how could Wu Zetian accommodate these two people.

As for Li Tong and his team's corner overtaking, they had to wait until his second brother Li Shouli's small motor was fully activated.But now Li Shouli doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, and he doesn't seem to care too much about it. Whether he can achieve such glory in the future is hard to judge.

Although Li Dan has many children, they are not very old. Even Li Chengqi, the eldest son of the crown prince, is only in his early ten years old, several years younger than Li Tong.

The middle official led a few people into the hall, and a five or six-year-old boy with a thick head and a tiger head grabbed the child who was a few points taller than him in front of him and said loudly: "Aye, hurry up, what kind of distinguished guest do you want to see? I and the two Brother playing chess, you are only close to winning!"

Li Tong had just returned to the banquet, followed the sound and turned his eyes, and saw that the little guy was less than three feet tall, wearing a tiger-striped hat and a thick woven brocade robe with double breasts, he should have been imposing , but because it is scaled down, it looks small and exquisite.

The little guy's legs are not too long, but his steps are fast. His face is also white and red, and his big black eyes look very energetic.Judging by his age, Li Tong had already guessed that this little fellow should be the third son of his fourth uncle, King Li Longji of Chu.

"The naughty boy is in a bad manner, and he is in the dormitory. If you make brother come to the door, you still don't restrain yourself!"

Li Dan reprimanded slightly, but there was a smile on his face. He turned to Li Tong who was standing up in the middle of the table, pointed at the quiet young man in the front and said with a smile: "This is San Lang, your little brother who doesn't deserve his name." .”

"Where did Saburo come from? Why is there another Saburo?"

Li Longji was young, but he was active. Hearing what his father said, he jumped out from behind his two elder brothers and raised his head to look at Li Tong.

"My servant, King Baoyu of Hedong, has met His Highness the Crown Prince and all the great kings."

Although Li Tong was old, his title was lower than those of the princes and princes in front of him, so he took a step forward and saluted first.

When the boys and girls saw the tall and straight Li Tong walking in, they were all stunned for a moment, looking curiously at him.And Li Dan also walked down from the hall, frowned and said: "This is your uncle's sect, brother executive three, why don't you hurry up and make a ceremony."

Few people or few strangers, and then listened to the harsh tone of the father, and the few who were still young moved back timidly and did not dare to speak.

On the other hand, Crown Prince Li Chengqi and Hengwang Li Chengyi, the two older ones, raised their hands subconsciously after hearing the words, but Li Chengqi raised his hand halfway, as if he had awakened, and lowered his hand again, quite gracefully His eyebrows frowned, and he looked at Li Tong with a hint of unhappiness.

"I've heard of this name before. My aunt came to see me the day before yesterday and praised my young master Wang Baoyu, so my empress left the table angrily!"

The little guy Li Longji spoke quickly, pointing at Li Tong with surprise: "The beautiful tune "Xiaoyaowang" that the empress is not allowed to play, was it you who wrote it? It turns out that it is my relative!"

There was a faint smile on the corner of Li Tong's mouth, and he told himself over and over again in his heart that the brat doesn't need to be common sense, but from the Tong's words, he could tell that he had a really bad reputation in his fourth uncle's house.

His fourth uncle, Li Dan, might not blame him, but Empress Liu clearly did not have such a measure. If you think about his father Liu Yanjing's unkind attitude towards him earlier, you can think of Empress Liu's disgust for him, the scum of his family.

Li Dan's face was a bit embarrassed when his own child made a slip of the tongue. He stepped forward and said to Li Tong: "Women and children are narrow-minded, and you are less likely to worry about others. Sanlang, you are talented and handsome, so don't take it to heart."

Li Tong turned his head and smiled at Li Dan: "I don't need everyone's consolation. Since I have lived so far, I can always hide my emotions. Those who hurt my heart envy this innocence. Parents don't wait for me. I leave this lonely soul behind. Surviving carelessly, I no longer dare to ask for favor from others.”

Li Dan's face became more serious when he heard this, he looked at his eldest son with a straight face and said in a concentrated voice: "Greetings to your third brother!"

Li Chengqi raised his eyes to look at his father, then glanced at Li Tong, but lowered his head and looked at the toe of his boot.Then there was a crisp slap, and Li Dan was so angry that he slapped his hands and knocked him down to the ground.

"What kind of prominent person is your son? Your father is the real thief, my brother, I..."

Li Dan was so angry that his face turned red, and when he turned his head to look at Li Tong, before he could speak, Li Tong had already knelt down: "Vulgar eyes don't dare to see luck, please don't lose your interest because of the small minister. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Tuan'er, who was standing far outside the hall, had rushed in. She didn't know the cause and effect, she only thought that the emperor was making things difficult for the young king, and she stepped forward to stop the young king and the emperor, looking at Li Dan. Said: "I don't know why the sage is angry? The concubine asked about the cause and effect, and played back to the emperor. The king's talents are excellent, and he is not an envoy in the palace. The emperor often praises him. If he takes this talent, it doesn't mean that there is no one in the court. The intention is to be solemn, because the king is asked to ask the sage, who is famous and respectful, so I am afraid that he will not be able to discuss privately!"

Hearing these words, Li Dan's face turned pale again.When Li Tong saw this, he didn't care about etiquette, got up and pulled Wei Tuan'er, and said in a concentrated voice: "The emperor sent me, it was the benefactor who passed on the message, worshiping the relatives and respecting the elders, not the status. Thank you, Mrs. Wei The good words and the warning made me feel that this trip was not an ordinary one."

Wei Tuan'er saw that the young king frowned slightly, and then restrained his publicity. Thinking that there was some misunderstanding, he lowered his skirt and bowed his head to Li Dan: "The king is very meticulous, but the concubine is self-conscious. Let the saints come down."

Li Dan just snorted coldly, turned to look at Li Tong again, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Li Tong didn't expect that the occasional desire to see Li Longji, a brat, would lead to this disturbance. Li Dan's wife and children didn't want to see him, but he didn't have any ill feelings towards this uncle. After a moment of thought, he raised his hand and said: " Is it because Meng Lang lost his way in the old year. Everyone is elegant and quiet, teaching by precepts and deeds, and there is no worry about the short-term. The children in the court have a long age, even if they have ardent thoughts, there is no need to express them at that time.

The peaches and plums on the branches go back to the original source.The five fingers may be uneven, and the flesh and blood are connected by themselves.Today, I have heard all kinds of words and teachings, and it is already the blessing of rain, which greatly comforts the hunger and thirst of dry crops.But one or two of my ministers can be known and read by everyone, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart, and I can't say it.Ethics is a snare, if you can stand sideways in it and not be an orphan in the world, the minister has already..."

"Sanlang doesn't need to say anything more, your uncle is really too ashamed to hear it. His Majesty the God Emperor appreciates it deeply, and it doesn't mean that there is no one, but good words!"

Li Dan stepped forward and patted this nephew on the shoulder, with admiration and loneliness in his eyes.

When he left the Zhuang Jingyuan, Li Tong just bowed his head and walked silently. This time when he saw his fourth uncle, the atmosphere was not very good, and it made him feel a lot of emotion.

Of course, the main reason for this feeling is because of his fourth uncle. What the emperor did was really aggrieved, and he was suppressed by his mother, so that Li Dan didn't feel that he was the master of the Great Tang Sheji from the bottom of his heart. .Otherwise, no matter how open-minded people are, they will not show closeness to him.

Wei Tuan'er followed behind, saw that the king was silent, finally couldn't hold back and said in a low voice: "I know it's impolite to talk nonsense, but seeing the king, I really can't bear it!"

Li Tong turned his head and saw that her face was soft and timid, and she no longer had the arrogance she had in the Zhuangjing Hall before. She smiled and said, "Miss Wei has spoken to help me, and Xiao Wang is very grateful. But the world is complicated, not just on the surface. Many times, Don't force yourself to be arrogant for a while. Qi is in your arms, and there is still a world around, and it is hard to get back when it explodes. You must know that human relationships are like cobwebs, strangers never walk alone, and the morals of the world are definitely not for me alone. If you can't stop It’s all about the moment, so we should think carefully before acting.”

Wei Tuan'er listened carefully, murmured softly, then grinned after a while: "If I didn't follow King Xing, where would I learn these principles?"

Li Tong didn't dare to ask her why she heard the truth, but when he thought about the scene in the hall just now, he couldn't help laughing, you have a brat, I have a brat, let's fight to see who loses face.

Chapter 0210 Laughing into the Orchid Restaurant

The time soon came to the beginning of October, and preparations for the Longmen Ceremony were in full swing.

As one of the instigators of this ceremony, Li Tong certainly couldn't stay out of it.

Not only did he have to prepare for the relevant ceremony, but the two elder brothers also did not stay out of it. The eldest brother Li Guangshun moved into the Zuowei's residence and became a general of the forbidden army in charge of guiding the guard of honor.The second elder brother, Li Shouli, was transferred from Prince Xima to the first official position conferred by Li Tong before, that is, as a chariot envoy, in charge of chariots and cultural relics used in the ceremony.Even the concubine Fang Shi had to participate in the ceremony as a married woman.
