Zhenguan's prosperity and fame
Chapter 87
Chapter 87
The snow melted and the fog cleared, and the temperature began to rise slightly.
According to the investigation report of the Datang "group" in Fang Chen's mind, in the second year of Zhenguan, Datang made a series of changes under his interference, and even set up a five-year plan for the Turks. As the year begins and spring begins, Li Shimin and the others have to formulate another plan for the second expansion of the Tang Dynasty.
As a participant and witness of all this, Fang Chen felt a little proud.
On New Year's Eve, there are two years old, and the fifth watch is divided into two days.The entire city of Chang'an fell into a strange atmosphere of "festival".
Since a few days ago, the atmosphere in the entire palace has undergone a huge change. You can't cry, you can't make noise, and when the maids of each palace meet, they can't see anything except smiles on their faces.
Li Shimin went to court very early these days, and every day after returning to Kunning Palace, he would run to Fang Chen's side hall, mainly because those novelty equipment attracted his attention.
"Yu'er, tonight is a night banquet in the palace. It stands to reason that you are going to prepare a congratulatory gift. I know you don't understand, so I will let Sancheng go with you to the inner vault later and pick out a suitable one."
All the kings returned to Beijing and gathered in the Taiji Palace. All the royal family members will appear on this night.
On this day in Chang'an, there was no curfew and the lights were brightly lit.
In other words, Fang Chen might have to meet dozens of uncles, hundreds of cousins, etc. on this day.
"Your Majesty, I don't have to go, right? I'm a fake, I picked it up, why should I join in the fun?"
"I told you to go, so you go, don't you want to go out of the palace to have a look in a few days?"
Fang Chen excitedly said, "I can leave the palace now?"
Li Shimin raised two fingers, "In Chang'an City, you can go to two places, one is Duke Yi's mansion, and the other is Duke Huo's mansion!"
Qin Qiong, Chai Shao?What am I going to do with them?Wait, Chai Shao.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Fang Chen ran over to pull Liu Sancheng, "Uncle Liu, go quickly, take me to the inner warehouse to pick."
"Second Highness, please slow down, the old slave's body cannot withstand your toss."
Liu Sancheng laughed and joked with Fang Chen, and they left together.
There is one more thing Li Shimin didn't tell Fang Chen, not everyone is qualified to prepare congratulatory gifts, those vassal kings just come back for a meal, and those who are giving presents by themselves are usually the emperor's favorite princes!
There are quite a lot of treasures in the inner library, Fang Chen planned to pick one at random, but Liu Sancheng refused.
"Second Highness, this is not in line with your status. If you want to choose, you must choose the best!"
"Uncle Liu, why?"
Liu Sancheng also didn't say anything, isn't it a gift for Fang Chen to be aggrieved?
Taking something from the inner library and giving it to Li Shimin, isn't it just acting for others?
But there is going out of the palace as a condition of temptation, Fang Chen can't do it if he doesn't agree.
I was a little strange in my heart why Li Shimin did this. It should have something to do with his mother, right?Well, you can't embarrass your mother!
"Uncle Liu, tell me, which one is the best?"
"Your Highness, please take a look. This is a gift from the former Japanese envoy the year before last. Your Highness can choose from here."
"Jija country? Isn't that India?"
Fang Chen hurriedly took the gift list, and almost forgot that there are many treasures in the palace treasury, and it would be a good thing if he could find something useful.
Gold Buddha statues, ivory carvings, gold and silver utensils.
Fang Chen sighed, well, I thought too much.
But this is also a reminder to myself, "Uncle Liu, are there any gifts from other countries?"
"Yes, Dongwa gave some gifts last year, but because they are not very expensive, they are still in the corner."
"Oh? Show me quickly."
It's better not to look at it, a bunch of gold and silver are crowded together, which didn't arouse Fang Chen's interest at all.
"People from a small country, how can there be any treasures, Second Highness, why don't you look at other things?"
"I remember, Xiaori Keke Dongwo seems to have gold and silver mines!"
"What? Your Highness, what did you say?"
Fang Chen squatted down and randomly picked up a piece of silver, "Look, Uncle Liu, there are bloody holes in it, which cannot be bitten out by teeth. In my opinion, I'm afraid the newly mined silver mine has not been smelted. , cut it into pieces and sent it to Datang.”
"Second Highness, what do you mean?"
"What do you think, Uncle Liu, if you have a treasure mountain and don't take it?"
"The old servant will report to the Holy Majesty."
What gift do you want?This news alone is worth a thousand words.In other words, the silver content of their silver mine is really frighteningly high!
Since ancient times, Dongwo has called the Kingdom of Heaven as its suzerain, and every time it comes to Tang, it will be rewarding. Now that Fang Chen is making such a fuss, I'm afraid Li Shimin will talk to them like a lion next time.
"Yu'er really said that?"
"Your Majesty, this old slave feels that what the Second Highness said is true!"
Annoyance flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. The Eastern Japanese people he had contacted before were all pretending, and they kept saying that their small country was short of clothes and food, and begged for gifts from the suzerain.
Now it seems that the other party is hiding very deeply!
"Sooner or later, I will eat it up!"
In the end, Fang Chen randomly picked a Buddha statue, because his eldest grandson Wugou liked it, as a gift for the evening.
The sky was changing gradually, from bright to dark, but everywhere in Chang'an City was full of joyful scenes. Every household put a basin in front of the door with a fire burning inside.
"Crackling~!"
Bamboos were thrown into the brazier one by one, and after being burned to a certain extent, they exploded, accompanied by the sound, and the festive atmosphere was much stronger.And this is the firecracker of this era.
Standing at the gate of Kunning Palace, Fang Chen was about to attend the banquet in the palace, and felt a little more melancholy in his heart.
"A bowl of dumplings, a plate of vinegar, and the sausages my mother prepared in advance, I'm afraid I can't eat any of them now."
A little disappointed in his heart, he squatted down on his own, and imitating his mother's technique, he pulled up his trousers partly so as not to touch the ground and dirty the new clothes.
Then he asked the maid to find a very ordinary brocade hat for herself, and compared it with the bronze mirror, and put it on for herself.
"Happy New Years, Mom!"
In the space, there seemed to be an echo, "Happy New Year, my little Chen'er!"
Smiling again, Fang Chen looked at Xuan Shi and Xuan Shi beside him, "Let's go."
The two of them were responsible for presenting gifts later, so they held a covered Buddha statue in their arms all the time.
I heard that this was left by the Sui Dynasty, but it has been thrown in the inner library and not taken out.
"Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong ~" The subtle voice kept echoing, and Fang Chen thought it was an auditory hallucination at first.
But after walking for a while, Fang Chen stopped immediately.
"Xuan Shi, put it down."
"Ah? Your Highness, put down the Buddha statue?"
"Yes, you put it down."
Lifting the red cloth directly, Fang Chen tapped lightly, and immediately came to the conclusion that this thing was actually hollow.
Interesting, the treasure of the previous dynasty, or hollow?
Careful observation soon revealed a subtle difference, the belly of the Buddha had been reformed and inlaid with a layer of gold again.
"Go ask Uncle Liu, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver this thing tonight."
"Second Highness, what do you mean?"
"Go!"
"Yes!"
Liu Sancheng came to arrange a seat at the banquet, but was suddenly told that His Highness the Second Highness was looking for him.
"You guys first do what I said just now, and I'll go out for a while."
After walking for a stick of incense, I came to a remote place in the back hall of Taiji Palace, "Second Highness, are you calling me this old slave?"
Fang Chen pointed to the Buddha statue and said, "There's something in it, haven't you checked it before?"
Liu Sancheng smiled wryly, "My lord, now is not the time to compete with this. You are planning to give this as a congratulatory gift. Do you want to dismantle it?"
Looking at Fang Chen, he found that the other party was extremely serious, Liu Sancheng's eyes were full of surprise, "You don't really want to."
Then he saw the smile on the corner of Fang Chen's mouth, and the raised Buddha statue.
"click~"
Throwing it hard, the Buddha statue was broken into several pieces, and there was actually a package in the inner mansion.
"Oh my lord!"
Liu Sancheng's heart is broken, and the gift is gone, isn't this just making trouble?
"what is this?"
But when the package was opened to reveal the treasure box inlaid with jade inside, Liu Sancheng's eyes lit up.
"Your Highness, this box is inlaid with top-quality jade, and it must be a treasure inside!"
"Crack!"
Opening the box again, everyone's eyes lit up.No one thought that there was a tiger talisman inside.
Damn it, the tiger talisman is hidden in the Buddha statue, which wicked idea is this?
Fang Chen couldn't read the characters engraved on the tiger talisman, but he could probably guess that it should be a real treasure, so he put it back into the box and said with a smile, "I got a congratulatory gift tonight, isn't this coming back?"
Liu Sancheng hurriedly ordered someone to clean this place, and at the same time sent someone to change Fang Chen's gift when the roll call was made later.
Otherwise, the Golden Buddha was mentioned during the roll call, but if you actually saw a tiger talisman, wouldn't that be a mess?
"The sage said, let's have a feast!"
"Second Highness, quickly follow this old slave into the palace!"
There are two seats on the top and left, the left is the most respected, occupied by Li Yuan, and the second on the right is Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou.
The first seat on the lower left is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian!
The second seat from the lower left, King Wei of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tai!
But the first seat on the lower right has shocked the eyes of countless people, dozens of princes have a word in their hearts and want to say "Who is he!"
"Second Highness, Xiangchen, come!"
Fang Chen shuddered suddenly, why did he have to use a common name?
Following the example of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, he walked into the hall and bowed down to the first three.
"Sir!" "Your Majesty!" "Mother!"
Those princes and princes were completely dumbfounded, because Fang Chen's name was too confusing.
Li Shimin and the others were very happy, "Yu'er, take your seat quickly. If you are not used to it, you can sit at the same table with the prince."
Fang Chen couldn't help applauding in his heart, and followed Li Chengqian directly, the first place on the lower right, he didn't dare to do it!
Li Tai's eyes rolled around a few times, and he followed suit.
"Qingque, why are you here?"
"Brother, the second brother is here, so I'm the only one missing?"
Li Chengqian sent someone to add another table, otherwise the meal for the three of them would be too crowded.
"My son, Li Ke, I have met the grandfather, the emperor, and the queen!"
"Ke'er is here, sit down."
Li Ke started looking for his own position, but then there was cold sweat on his forehead, what the hell, there is no one on the right and left?
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Li Chengqian and the others, and immediately knew the reason, but he didn't want to go to the second right where he was right now, so he just put his mind on it and strode towards Li Chengqian and the others.
The first two chapters will be released, and the latter will wait a little bit.
