Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen didn't even look at the three people, his eyes were still looking at the sky in the distance, and he said in a calm tone:

"Brothers, let's be clear about the accounts. My fireworks are not ordinary things. You can ask Aye, it is extremely difficult to make them.

Otherwise, do you think I don’t set off fireworks every day? Why do I have to set them off only during holidays?

The materials here all come from all over the country, and after being brought back, they have to be carefully selected and dried in the sun for 49 days.

After ninety-nine eighty-one steps....”

Before Li Shen finished, Li Chengqian interrupted:

"Alright, alright, I understand now. Nothing that comes out of your Prince Ji's Mansion is simple.

They are all treasures that are only found in heaven and not on earth.

Forty-nine days of collecting materials and eighty-one days of production.

Can't you come up with a new way of saying it?"

Li Chengqian really wanted to beat up his younger brother like his father did.

Li Chengqian had heard Li Shen's various comments countless times.

So everything that comes out of your Prince Ji’s Mansion is a divine object, right?

"Of course, if it's not a good thing, why would I use it? One thousand strings of cash each, the price is reasonable, and I won't cheat anyone.

Big brother, if you want a few, I will send them to you tomorrow."

"I can't afford any of them. How about you tell me how much the East Palace is worth and I'll sell it to you."

Li Chengqian shook his head. He was not such a spendthrift as to spend one thousand strings of cash to buy a firework for fun.

Li Shen replied disdainfully:

"I told you last time that your East Palace is worthless and I don't want it." After Li Shen finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Tai and Li Zhi.

"Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother, do you want to come over? Cash on delivery, guaranteed quality and quantity, free door-to-door delivery."

"I can't afford it, you keep it for yourself."

Li Tai shook his head and continued to look at the sky.

Li Zhi didn't say a word and just looked at the sky.

The four brothers stood at the gate of the imperial city, watching the fireworks in the distant sky, and no one spoke.

The gate guards looked at the four people and didn't dare to disturb them. If it were someone else, they would have chased them away long ago.

There is a bright moon in the sky and the whole Chang'an city is bustling with people. Even if you don't go to see it, you can feel the festive atmosphere.

"By the way, Tenth Brother, I heard that you set up a lantern wheel at the entrance of the market?"

At this moment, Li Chengqian suddenly asked.

"Lantern wheel?" Li Tai and Li Zhi also turned their heads to look over.

“Yes, there is one, and there are also lantern riddles, but I entered the palace early, so I haven’t seen it yet.

I'll go back to the mansion and take a look later." Li Shen nodded.

"You are so rich." Li Tai couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, Tenth Brother, it will cost a lot to make a lamp wheel." Li Chengqian also said.

"No, no, it's not that big, I'm just playing with it." Li Shen waved his hand.

"Why don't we go and take a look?" Li Zhi suggested.

"it is good."

"it is good."

Li Chengqian and Li Tai nodded. The Lantern Festival was so lively that they actually didn't want to go back home.

The Lantern Festival only comes once a year.

"Okay. Let's go." Li Shen wanted to refuse, but since the three brothers all wanted to go, he couldn't say anything.

The four of them got on their carriages, and Li Chengqian took a hundred guards and headed towards Qinrenfang.

As soon as I entered the street where Qinrenfang is located, I saw a sea of ​​people.

Looking around, the whole street is shining with various lanterns, and the performance is wonderful.

Li Chengqian ordered that there was no need to show off, and Li Shen's personal guards led the way. When the people saw the nobleman's carriage coming, they all moved to the sides.

In order to avoid trouble, several princes did not open the windows in the carriage.

The carriage passed directly through the gate and entered Qinrenfang.

Li Shen and his companions got off the carriage. There was no one in Qinrenfang. The entire place belonged to Prince Ji's Mansion and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

Lanterns are hung on both sides of the street.

A large group of people, including the families of the other three princes, all stood there staring blankly at a tall lantern wheel outside the gate.

"I say, Old Ten, is this the lantern wheel you mentioned that is not that big?"

Looking up at the lantern wheel not far away, Li Tai wanted to curse.

“I was wondering why there were so many people on this street.

Logically, shouldn't it be people from Pingkangfang and Qujiang? It turns out it's because of your lantern wheel."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.

Logically, there shouldn't be so many people on the street where Li Shen lives. This is a street outside the neighborhood, and it is usually bustling with people.

Especially Qujiang Lake and Pingkangfang in Chang'an.

The reason turned out to be because of the lantern wheel erected in Prince Ji’s Mansion.

In front of me was this lantern wheel, which was estimated to be at least ten feet high, wrapped with colorful silk brocade and decorated with gold and silver.

Colorful lanterns are hung everywhere, just like colorful and brilliant flower trees?6?8.

It is really breathtakingly beautiful.

A group of people walked closer to take a look and once again felt its enormity.

"Tenth brother, how high is your lantern wheel?"

Li Chengqian looked up at the lantern wheel and asked.

"I think it's about 13 or 14 tall, with more than 30,000 lanterns hanging." Li Shen replied calmly.

"More than 30,000 lamps!" Everyone was shocked.

"There are rays of light and golden glow on it. Could it be real gold and silver?" Li Tai asked.

"Of course it's real. With my identity, how could I use a fake one?" Li Shen answered confidently.

Is this doubting one's own taste or doubting one's own financial resources?

Li Tai was speechless, staring at the huge lantern wheel.

There were quite a few people under the lantern wheel, there were juggling performances, and Prince Ji's mansion had people there guessing lantern riddles.

If you guess correctly, there will be rewards such as silk, brocade, money, etc. No wonder it is so lively here.

The crowd did not leave the town, nor did they disturb the people outside. They just stood in the town and watched outside.

They are all nobles, with high status, and rarely see the fireworks of this world, heading towards the tranquility of the broken station.

~~~dividing line~~~~

After the prince and his companions left, Li Shen specially asked his personal guards to escort the prince away. Today was a special day, so it was better to be cautious.

Li Shen's personal guards could at least protect Li Chengqian and ensure his safety.

When Li Shen returned to Prince Ji's Mansion, he was already a little tipsy and drunk.

However, he still ordered people to go to Pingkangfang to find Cheng Chusi and others, and ask them to gather people and go to the Ice and Snow City to play tomorrow.

The subsequent brutal scenes of sleeping together, fighting on horseback, and galloping on the battlefield were all omitted in 18,000 words.

Early the next morning, Li Shen got up early, took a bath, changed clothes, had a meal, and then took his family to the Hehe Manor.

As soon as they entered the manor, Wang Xuance, Wang Hongfu, and Xue Rengui came forward to salute:

"I have met the prince and the princess."

"Well, excuse me. Why are you here so early?"

Li Shen waved his hand and led the three of them into the living room.

"Your Highness, we just arrived not long ago." This was all Wang Xuance could say. He couldn't say that you came too late.

"Old Wang, have you arranged everything I asked you to arrange?" Li Shen looked at Wang Hongfu.

I haven't found out the details, I guess it's like this

(This lantern wheel is based on the lantern wheel established in the second year of the reign of Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty.

I was afraid that some people would think that the light wheel that was several dozen meters high was a bit exaggerated, so I reduced it a bit.

The lantern wheel set up in the second year of Emperor Ruizong's reign was 20 zhang (more than 60 meters) long, as high as a 20-story building.

There are 50,000 hanging lanterns, decorated with silk and equipped with gold and silver.

Wu Zetian's sister also set up an eighty-foot lantern wheel on the mountain, which could be seen from far away.

Many things that the ancients did seem incredible to modern people.)
