Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 725 New Year's Eve

There were two most important festivals during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, one was the Winter Solstice and the other was the Spring Festival.

Today is New Year's Eve. Although many villagers died in battle this year, and although it is still covered with snow, the inside and outside of Zhuangzi is full of festive atmosphere.

Li Shan looked at the empty door with regret. There is no Spring Festival couplets in this era... I even wrote them myself back then, and junior high school relied on this to make a fortune during the Spring Festival.

At this time, crackling firecrackers sounded outside from time to time, and several guards went out to have a look, and they smiled and called their friends to go out together.

Seeing this scene, Li Shan felt even more regretful.

With the sound of firecrackers, the year is gone, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old talismans... Isn't it appropriate to throw them out now.

Forget it, let's think about how I'm setting up people in this area now, it's better not to make any fuss.

Li Shan stood outside the concierge and watched several guards stuff bamboo knots into the fire. This era is not called firecrackers, but "explosive poles".

Several personal guards such as Qu Silang and Zhou Zhoulang were outside, even the limping Zhao Da went out, only Zhang Zhongjian stayed in the gatehouse... After all, there are many children outside.

A few months ago, Zhang Zhongjian had just arrived at Sun Moon Lake. During a night patrol, he frightened a child who had slipped out to play at night and cried loudly.

Li Shan suddenly remembered that it is said that after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was disturbed by ghosts and could not sleep, so Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong were allowed to guard the gate. It is more in line with this standard, which is too evil.

"Sanlang." Li Shan asked casually: "After the beginning of spring, we will perform the crowning ceremony first, then we will arrange Brother Fang to greet the relatives, and then we may go to Tongzhou. Do you stay in Zhuangzi or go to Tongzhou?"

Zhang Zhongjian bowed his head and said, "Everyone is assigned by your lord."

Li Shan pondered for a moment before saying: "Let's talk about it when the time comes."

The situation in Chang'an is a bit weird now, and the succession is fierce, but there is still one thing in Li Shan's heart that is still hard to let go. Why did Su Dingfang suddenly become a noble?
After the next year, I will definitely go to Tongzhou once. It is the first time to plant cotton on a large scale.

The personal guard commander Wang Junhao is actually inferior to Zhang Zhongjian in terms of ability, but he has a close relationship with Ling Jing and Su Dingfang, and if there is any change, he can be contacted immediately... Zhang Zhongjian may not be able to gain Ling Jing's trust at the critical moment.

Zhang Zhongjian didn't say anything more, he was always taciturn and never opened his mouth easily.

Li Shan looked at the bustle and bustle outside, and thought that this time traveler himself was not worthy of the name. In addition to plagiarizing some poems and essays that have been passed down through the ages, he also tossed out Yuhuchun, horseshoes, and other red bricks. Not worth mentioning, the most important gunpowder was not produced.

In fact, Li Shan can make gunpowder. At worst, he will try more and purify it. In fact, he tried it in Daizhou, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up... Once this thing comes out, he will not be able to get much. The benefits, and it is also likely to fall into infinite disputes.

Once gunpowder comes out, although this kind of killer weapon cannot change this era, it will definitely become a killer weapon... But Li Shan himself, his title has already been promoted, so how much benefit will it have?
Whether it's Li Yuan now or Li Shimin after ascending to the throne, even if Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji succeed, they will probably use it while staring at themselves... If Li Shan leaks the formula, it will be a death penalty.

If ten years earlier, Li Tang had not yet established the state, Li Shan might have made a fuss and tried to fight for the male and female, so forget it now, why bother?
At this time, there was a hissing of horses outside the door, followed by a mess of yelling. Li Shan went out to see that his mother Zhu, who had entered the city early this morning, had returned. The horses pulling the carriage were startled by the sound of crackling firecrackers. Lifting it, neighing non-stop, provoking Zhu Wei who rushed over to scold him.

"Mother is back." Li Shan greeted her with a smile, "Is everything going well?"

Mrs. Zhu snorted, looked at the people around her, stepped into the door, and said quietly: "There is a saying in Chang'an that poetry cannot be written in Handan without deliberation, and it will take a long time to deliberate next time."

Li Shan's face froze, and it was because of those two fragmented poems that spread out... Although Zhang Wenguan was beaten up, Cui Xin also had a grudge. Went for a trip.

After entering the backyard, Mrs. Zhu sat down to rest for a while, let the maid go out, and then said: "Eleven Niang and her mother are tolerant, knowing that Da Lang didn't mean it, it was just a misrepresentation, but..."

"But Cui Sheren is quite dissatisfied." Li Shan smacked his lips, "It's expected."

Mrs. Zhu was a little puzzled, "There is some gap between Da Lang and Cui Sheren?"

"Of course not." Li Shan couldn't laugh or cry... To be honest, in the ancient times when heirs were valued, it was very difficult to meet Cui Xin's favorite girl.

Seeing his son's expression, Mrs. Zhu knew that this guy wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't bother to ask any more... In the past two years, his son has grown up very fast, and his thoughts are deep, and he can't see through it.

"This is made by Eleven Niang herself." Zhu took out a box from the box she brought back and handed it over.

"It's so beautiful." Li Shan's eyes lit up, and inside the box was a leather hat, the root hair was soft and suitable, and the whole body was red, like a burning flame.

"The Firefox fur you brought back at the beginning of the year." Zhu explained, "Mother Eleven personally made two fur hats."

Apparently, one hat per person... Li Shan thought for a while, he seemed to have never heard of Eleven Niangs being good at female celebrities, and they were leather hats. If he had just learned it, Cui Xin might feel very sad.

"Oh..." Li Shan drew a long tone and said with a smile, "Mother, son is a good wife, right?"

"Didn't you reject it with all your strength?" Zhu said with a sneer, "If it was intentional, why would you behead Cui's children in Qinghe back then?"

Li Shan's eyes flickered, he smiled dryly and didn't say a word... The marriage between himself and Eleven Niang can be said to be a perfect match, or it can be said to be a mistake.

The earliest mistake was the sentence "I don't know where to go, but the peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze."

After the Furong Garden incident last year, Cui Xin actually wanted to push Li Shan out to stop Luo Yi, the only son of Yanjun Wang who wanted to propose marriage, but Li Shan threw out the song "Ai Lian Shuo" without knowing anything about it.

It is this song "Ai Lian Shuo" that makes the world regard Li Shan and Cui Shiniang as a match made in heaven, and it also makes Cui Xin and his wife helpless... If they want to find another match, they can't find it!
However, I once refused to marry Qinghe Cui, and only Ling Jing, Su Dingfang, and Ma Zhou were present at that time!
That's impossible for Su Dingfang, and there's no need for Ling Jing. Could it be Ma Zhou?
