The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 129 Public Declaration
In order to reflect the fun with the people, but also to feel the festive atmosphere up close.On the day of Shangyuan Festival, the imperial court will set up a lantern array in front of the imperial city, and make an exception to allow some vendors to come to set up stalls for business.

Similar to the situation on New Year's Eve at Zixiao Temple, those who can come here have been screened, and ordinary people are not qualified to approach at all.

On this day, the emperor will also bring the more favored royal family to the imperial city to enjoy the lanterns. At the same time, the dignitaries in Beijing and their families are also invited.

Chen Jingke and Sun Simiao were naturally also invited, but Sun Simiao declined, Chen Jingke couldn't shirk and had to come here.

After the sun went down at night, the whole Chang'an City became lively.Countless lights are lit up, and it looks like a sky full of stars when viewed from a high altitude.

After finally having the opportunity to play at night, everyone naturally refused to miss it and took to the streets, wandering between various squares and markets, talking to each other about the lanterns in different shapes.

Guessing crossword puzzles is a repertoire of the Shangyuan Festival. If you guess correctly, you will get a lantern for free, but if you fail to guess correctly, you can buy it with money. This is the same rule.

However, in this era of widespread illiteracy, very few dare to guess lantern riddles.Most of the people are wandering back and forth between different squares, looking at different lanterns, buying some snacks and so on.

The busiest one is the West Market, which is a big international market oriented to the masses and civilians, with a large number of foreign merchants.

All kinds of people are mixed, and all kinds of customs blend together, which makes the atmosphere here particularly open.

Foreign merchants are rich, and out of admiration for Chinese culture, they especially like to celebrate Chinese festivals, even more enthusiastic about celebrating festivals than the locals of Datang.

However, they did not simply imitate the customs of the Tang Dynasty, but each celebrated in a way that was in line with the customs of their hometown.

For example, Hu people like to wear various masks on their faces, wear exaggerated and strange clothes, and dance on the street like a great dancer.

Many more characteristic celebration methods will be imitated and learned by the people of Tang Dynasty and eventually become a part of Chinese civilization.

It is rare to lift the curfew, and the business in one place is particularly good. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a retaliatory business all night.

That is the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.

Rich people always like to try something new, and staying out at night is a very good choice.Those little ladies are good at speaking and listening, which makes people linger and forget to return.

Scholars who like to be arty are also the main customers of Qinlou Chuguan. They recite poems and compose beautiful women to accompany their red sleeves, so they are very happy.

The women of the Tang Dynasty were not to be outdone, and naturally they would not go to such a glamorous place.But it is normal for a group of like-minded little sisters to go to a restaurant to book a restaurant to celebrate and go shopping together.

Seeing a handsome man, he would even tease and joke together, and sometimes 'sell out' the little sisters around him for fun.

This is the case in other places, but the night view under the imperial city is even more beautiful, which can be seen from the style and materials of the lanterns.

Relatively speaking, the lantern riddles activities here are the most lively, and people who guess lantern riddles can be seen everywhere.

Some of their companions applauded and applauded if they guessed right, and they regretted making noises when they guessed wrong, but no one started a group of ridicules.

It's just a game, no one will really determine a person's talent and ability by guessing lantern riddles.

Under the leadership of Li Shimin, grandson Wugou, Li Chengqian, Li Lizhi, Li Tai and other relatives of the emperor, as well as Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, grandson Wuji, Yu Chigong and other dignitaries came to the Imperial City Tower together. superior.

The area of ​​the gate tower is very open, and many tables and chairs have been placed on it, as well as drinks, pastries and other things.

However, everyone did not sit down directly, but stood at the top of the city and looked down.I saw that the whole square was brightly lit and crowded with people, accompanied by cries, laughter, and various cheers.

Although it is impossible to know what each person is doing, one can also feel a sense of festiveness from the atmosphere.

Standing at the top of the city, Chen Jingke reflected Chang'an illuminated by countless lights in his eyes, and felt extremely shocked in his heart.

More than 1000 years later, the lights of any city will be countless times brighter than the Chang'an City in front of us, but the impact of that kind of light on people is far less than that of the primitive lanterns in front of us.

The most contagious thing is the festive atmosphere and the special atmosphere of fireworks. In his previous life, he only experienced this feeling when he was a child.Having grown up celebrating the holidays has become a habit, and there is hardly much left of the atmosphere.

When he came to the Tang Dynasty by accident, he felt it again, even deeper than when he was a child in his previous life.

Thinking of how many times Chang'an would be caught in the flames of war in the future, and eventually the central city of the world would be reduced to a regional city, he secretly swore in his heart.

Maybe I can't change this future, but I must find a way to make this grand scene last longer, so that Chinese civilization will never fall into hell.

……

The emperor and all his ministers and workers went up to the city tower to watch the street scene. Such a big movement quickly attracted the attention of the people below the city.Many people began to gather towards the city and shouted long live.

Li Shimin also excitedly waved to the people in the city, but without binoculars, everyone couldn't see his movements at all.

But it doesn't matter, this spontaneous cheer is the best response in itself.

The Qianniu Guards who were in charge of the security work watched their surroundings vigilantly, as if they were afraid that a cold arrow would suddenly shoot out from somewhere.

As the night got darker, the city of Chang'an became more lively, and the sound of beating gongs and drums also began to appear.

Many men and women danced in the street to the rhythm of the drums, and even some people in the city danced their limbs regardless of their status.

Chen Jingke couldn't help but feel that it really deserves to be the Tang Dynasty with an open atmosphere. This kind of situation is rarely seen in the next 1000 years.

Princess Jinyang, who was being held by Li Shimin, blushed with excitement, giggled non-stop, and raised her hands and twisted her body.

Li Shimin also laughed out loud, putting his hands around her ribs as if to throw her out.

She wasn't scared at all, screaming and laughing.

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled and said: "Saint, be careful, come and hug me." As he spoke, he was about to reach out to take his daughter.

The little girl was having fun, struggling not to be hugged by her.

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "To play with your elder brother, do you want to go?"

The little girl immediately calmed down, stretched out her small arms and said, "Go, go."

The eldest grandson Wugou took her over, and said angrily: "People only turn their elbows out when they are married, and you are not married yet, so that's it, you really are a little white-eyed wolf."

The surrounding princes and ministers including Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others were very surprised. What does this mean?What is getting married, what is turning your elbows outward?
The few people who knew something looked at Chen Jingke, such as Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji.

And Chen Jingke, who shrank himself in a corner and looked at the street scene silently, felt very bad. This unreliable mother could not be talking about me, could she?
The next moment, Changsun Wugou told him with practical actions, yes.

She turned around and handed Princess Jinyang to him, and said in a joking tone: "The little girl is calling every day to find her husband, come here, hold her by yourself and enjoy the grand scene of Shangyuan."

The little girl was also very cooperative, she opened her little hand and said, "Brother, give me a hug."

There was a moment of silence around, and everyone looked at the empress and Chen Jingke in shock.

After all, the sound of the wind is just the sound of the wind, and accidents are normal.But right now it is equivalent to a public announcement, and it is only an edict than a certainty.

The empress really wants to give the princess to this little Taoist priest, why?Is it just because he is Sun Simiao's apprentice?
Impossible, there are many ways to win over Sun Simiao, but absolutely not including marrying the first princess to his apprentice.

There is only one possibility for this situation to happen, and that is that the Taoist boy himself has enough capital, so that the empress can feel relieved to tie him up with the first princess.

So what exactly is his capital?Many people are curious.

Chen Jingke squeezed out a stiff smile, and reached out to take Princess Jinyang over.

The little girl giggled excitedly, put her arm around his neck, and pointed to the street scene below with the other: "Brother, look, it's so beautiful."

Chen Jingke said dumbly: "Well, it looks good, do you like it, little si?"

The little girl nodded heavily and said, "I like it."

Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Lizhi walked over with smiles on them, looking at Chen Jingke's smile was meaningful.

Li Chengqian took the lead and said, "Really Chen... Well, this title is too outlandish, so I'll call you Jing Ke from now on."

Chen Jingke said dumbly: "Okay, this is my honor."

Li Chengqian could roughly guess his mood, and smiled even more happily, saying: "It's an honor or not, it's too outlandish."

The eldest grandson Wugou is not dead, his situation is much better than in history.The mentality and the like are maintained well, and there is no sign of going astray for the time being.

For Chen Jingke, who is in charge of the safety of his family, his attitude was more complicated in the past. After all, it is difficult to really treat a stranger as a relative.

There is no obstacle now, my brother-in-law is a proper one of my own.

Li Tai, who had lost a lot of weight, also echoed: "That's right, my brothers don't say such unreasonable things, we brothers should get closer in the future."

After saying this, he immediately added a sentence: "I heard that you are compiling a book. I am also studying knowledge recently. I plan to write a book as a great Confucian. We can just exchange ideas."

Hearing these words, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth, and his gaze softened a lot.

Chen Jingke didn't know this, but just out of the mentality that more things are worse than less things, he said perfunctorily: "Okay, as long as your majesty and aunt allow it, you can come."

Li Tai smiled and said: "Aye and Niang might not allow it before, but now they will definitely agree."

Li Lizhi on the side stood up in a timely manner, stretched out her hands and patted, and said to Princess Jinyang: "Little Si, come and hug me."

Xiao Si hugged Chen Jingke's neck tightly, shaking her head like a rattle: "No."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Seeing this scene, the people around were envious and jealous, and then began to think about how to build a good relationship with Zixiao Temple.

The genius doctor Sun Simiao and the quasi-in-law Duwei are already a force to be reckoned with, not to mention that they have an inseparable relationship with Cheng, Qin, and Yuchi.

The eldest grandson Wugou was also very pleased, wasn't this the result she wanted to see.

Only Li Shimin's heart feels like grass has grown, and his little son has become someone else's family like this?I feel bad and want to hit someone.

Hitting people is not allowed, so I can only order: "Fireworks, let's start setting off."
