Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1647 Fireworks
The ministers took their seats one after another.

Next to each table, there is a small stove, and there is wine on the table. If anyone wants to drink, he can drink it by himself.

And just after everyone sat down like this, a palace official whispered something in Li Shimin's ear. After Li Shimin listened, he turned his gaze to Qin Tian and nodded immediately.

"Fire the cannon, let's start the banquet."

With an order, outside the main hall, someone soon lit a very long string of firecrackers.

After igniting, everyone heard a crackling sound.

After hearing this sound, everyone couldn't help being stunned and a little surprised. Before lighting firecrackers, the sound was very slow and incoherent, but why is it so loud and fast tonight?
Some officials near the door couldn't help blocking their ears. They were shocked and wanted to discuss something, but after opening their mouths, they found that the people next to them couldn't hear what they said, so they had to give up.

This string of firecrackers was a bit long, and it lasted for half a stick of incense before it finally ended.

After the end, there was a faint smell of gunpowder smoke, and after finally calming down, everyone's ears felt better.

It wasn't until this time that they started talking.

"The firecrackers are too loud, aren't they?"

"How did you do it, how can you keep ringing?"

"It's unbelievable, it's just unbelievable."

Sitting on it, Li Shimin's face was a little radiant. He didn't expect that Qin Tian would use gunpowder to make firecrackers, and the firecrackers were loud and fast, and sounded comfortable.

For them, setting off firecrackers during the New Year is to scare away the monster Nian, and of course it also has the meaning of getting rid of bad things, so the louder the firecrackers, the better.

Today's firecrackers are very loud, giving people the feeling that they can scare away all the ghosts.

He nodded very satisfied.

On Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong's side, they were a little lucky that they didn't make a bet with Qin Tian, ​​otherwise, they would have lost some money to Qin Tian.

Of course, in normal times, if you lose a little, you lose a little, but on New Year's Eve, they really don't want to lose.

Everyone was amazed and praised, and after the firecrackers were lit like this, the palace banquet officially started.

The palace banquet started, Li Shimin glanced at the officials, they were drinking or eating, and they were all having a good time.

After drinking for three rounds like this, Li Shimin waved his hand to everyone and said: "My dear friends, today is the [-]th year. I will watch the year together with you dear friends, which can be regarded as praying for my Tang Dynasty, but I know very well that Da Tang It is inseparable from the painstaking efforts of all the lovers that Tang can be today, so today, I want to say one thing."

While eating, everyone was thinking about the story that will be sung in Peking Opera later, and whether the robot is really fun. Suddenly hearing what Li Shimin said, all the officials were stunned.

At this time, what did Li Shimin say about this?
Soon, the officials put down their wine glasses.

"I don't know what the Holy Majesty wants to say?"

Everyone cast their gazes over. In comparison, Qin Tian was very indifferent, giving the impression that he already knew what Li Shimin was going to say.

On Li Shimin's side, he smiled lightly and said: "I am going to build a loft in the palace, named Lingyan Pavilion, to house the ministers who have made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty. You are qualified to enter it, so as to leave something for future generations, and also leave something for me, Great Tang."

What is left for future generations is naturally admiration.

Everyone only listened for a while, and they already understood what it meant to a courtier to be able to enter the Lingyan Pavilion. This is much more compelling than the portraits of Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong pasted on the door.

They also saw that some of them had complaints before, but now, Li Shimin wanted to use this method to eliminate these people's complaints.

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Li Shimin saw that everyone was stunned, so he asked a question, and after he said this, the officials immediately started talking.

"My lord, this is naturally possible."

"The Holy Majesty is really kind to my courtiers, and I am very honored to be my courtiers."

"Yes, yes, this is our blessing."

"........."

Lingyan Pavilion may become the most top existence that future generations will worship them. As officials of the Tang Dynasty, no one would want to enter it.

The officials were muttering non-stop, and no one objected, even those who knew they were not qualified to enter, did not dare to object.

Isn't it courting death to cut off the road to glory?
Seeing that all the officials agreed, Li Shimin nodded: "Okay, if this is the case, we will select the people who will live in Lingyan Pavilion in the past few days, and the construction can start on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Make arrangements."

After the words fell, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry immediately stood up: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements tomorrow."

Li Shimin nodded, and then continued to drink with everyone. At this time, the Peking Opera performance really started.

They sang one play after another, and everyone listened very comfortably. They did not expect that this new play would have such a charm.

If it weren't for the Beijing opera singers in the capital of the Kingdom of Jin to be in Goulan Washe, they would all want to keep a few actors in the house, and listen to them sing a few words when they are free.

After the Peking Opera performance, the robots came on stage. These robots kept waving their arms and dancing on the stage. They didn’t dance very well, but the wood could rotate so flexibly. Everyone watched it. It was even more surprising than the previous Peking Opera. .

The shows were performed one after another, and in a blink of an eye, it was already midnight.

Everyone didn't realize that the time passed so quickly. They might have been attracted by Beijing opera. After all, it takes an hour for them to sing a play.

The palace banquet was originally only a little more than two hours. They talked about Lingyan Pavilion before, and they used up a lot of drinking. After watching Peking Opera and robots, the time really passed quickly.

As midnight approached, everyone felt that the palace banquet was coming to an end.

Some people outside have started to set off firecrackers, but the sound of these firecrackers is incomparable to the firecrackers in the palace.

However, at this moment, Li Shimin looked at the officials and said with a smile: "The palace banquet is over, but a ceremony is still needed to welcome the New Year. Qin Aiqing made some fireworks with gunpowder. Let's all enjoy it. It’s also my first time, so I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.”

After the palace banquet, there will be a fireworks display. After hearing this, the officials were very curious.

"Fireworks, what are fireworks?"

"Does it look good, or is it loud like firecrackers?"
