The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 159 The Emperor’s Clothes
Empress Xiao planned to go to Chang'an to find Li Chengdao's biological mother Zheng, and send the daughter of Lanling Xiao into Li Chengdao's harem.

This kind of thing is normal. The reason for the long-term prosperity of the family is that they rely on and support the imperial power, and the emperor also needs their support. The marriage between the two parties is naturally a win-win situation.

But Concubine Yang didn't quite understand why Queen Xiao wanted to take her with her.

Empress Xiao touched her daughter's head and said distressedly: "I have seen you depressed these days, and I want to take you to relax."

"Speaking of which, do you really have no resentment towards His Highness? Even if you do, it's best to bury this thought deeply, otherwise it will cause great trouble to our Xiao family."

Queen Xiao said seriously.

Concubine Yang gave a bitter smile and said quietly: "How can my daughter dare to resent His Highness? My daughter's survival is all due to His Highness's mercy."

"Ke'er's death... was due to his bad fate."

After hearing Concubine Yang's words, Empress Xiao was really relieved.

Concubine Yang put away the sadness in her heart, and then asked seriously: "Concubine, you really don't plan to enter the harem of His Highness, do you?"

"Dead girl!"

Empress Xiao was so embarrassed that she reached out and hit Concubine Yang on the head several times.

"Even if I have this idea, my mother is old and beautiful now. How can His Highness like my mother?"

"Oh, they are really those girls from the cheap clan. If I were a dozen years younger, I would definitely fight for it. That His Highness is really a rare young hero in this world."

Queen Xiao's words were sincere, and her tone was quite regretful.

……

Not only the Xiao family of Lanling, but also the major clans of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes all sent representatives to Chang'an after hearing the news that Li Chengdao was about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

On the one hand, it was to congratulate Li Chengdao on his ascension to the throne, but on the other hand, it was also aimed at the position of concubine in Li Chengdao's harem.

Li Chengdao is now a piece of cake. If they can cling to His Highness, then the prosperity of the family will be a sure thing. In addition, various families, large and small, as well as people from all over the Tang Dynasty will have to go to Chang'an.

Therefore, before the enthronement ceremony has come, the entire city of Chang'an has become lively, with more than double the number of people coming and going.

……

The enthronement ceremony is approaching, and Li Chengdao is extremely troubled by this.

There is no other reason, because in order to create a brand new set of clothes for Li Chengdao and the emperor's crown, the Internal Affairs Bureau took him to various measurements every day.

There is nothing that can be done about it. When the new emperor ascends the throne, all ceremonial costumes need to be fully prepared. Everything belonging to the emperor has its corresponding specifications.

The "Wude Order" promulgated by Li Yuan at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China included clothing regulations, including fourteen uniforms for the emperor.

The fourteen types of clothing worn by the emperor are: Da Qiu Mian, Gun Mian, Xi Mian, Chun Mian, Jie Mian, Xuan Mian, Tongtian Crown, Zhenbu Crown, Wu Bian, Bian Fu, Black Jie Guan, White Gauze Cap, and Plain Turban. , Bai Qia.

In the Tang Dynasty, due to the Sui Dynasty system, the large fur crown was eight inches wide and one foot and two inches long.

Dagon crown gold ornaments, twelve hanging beads, twelve chapters.Eight chapters of clothing, the sun, moon, stars, dragons, mountains, Chinese insects, fire, Zongyi.

There are four chapters of clothes, algae, and rice. When worshiping heaven and earth in the suburbs, the crown is worn, and three chapters are worn in four quarters. Yuanmian is worn when worshiping the sun and moon.

The regulations are very complicated and need to fit Li Chengdao's own body shape. If there is even the slightest mistake, everyone in the Internal Affairs Bureau will be killed.

It was a matter of wealth and life, so the Internal Affairs Bureau, even at the risk of displeasing Li Chengdao, dragged Li Chengdao to try on clothes every day, which made Li Chengdao extremely annoyed.

In the Internal Affairs Bureau. "How can I wear so many costumes? Why don't I just make one or two sets of imperial robes? I still have state affairs to deal with. You can take care of it yourself."

Li Chengdao said impatiently while walking towards the outside of the Internal Affairs Bureau with a dark face.

The eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau fell directly to the ground, hugged Li Chengdao's thigh and cried bitterly: "Your Highness, you can't do this, Your Highness! These are ancestral products, and one month is already very busy. If you don't cooperate, the slaves' heads will be ruined." I can’t keep it anymore——”

"Get out of here! I forgive you for your innocence!"

The veins on Li Chengdao's forehead throbbed faintly.

The eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Bureau refused to let go and cried loudly: "One more measurement! Just one!"

"Let go!!"

Li Chengdao was about to collapse. He would rather lead his troops to fight with an army dozens of times his own than stay here trying on clothes as if it would never end.

But these eunuchs from the Internal Affairs Bureau knelt on the ground and refused to let him leave, and there was nothing he could do.

Just when Li Chengdao was about to escape from the Internal Affairs Bureau, a voice suddenly came over.

"Chengdao, what are you doing?"

Hearing this voice, Li Chengdao froze, and immediately looked up, and then saw his mother-in-law Zheng Guanyin arriving at the Internal Affairs Bureau at some point.

When his eyes swept over the evasive house eunuchs behind Zheng Guanyin, he immediately understood what was going on, and he gritted his teeth in anger.

However, etiquette cannot be discarded. Li Chengdao walked up to Zheng Guanyin honestly, bowed, and said respectfully: "My son, I pay my respects to my mother and concubine."

Zheng Guanyin's face was not very good-looking, and she reprimanded: "Ascension to the throne and proclaiming the emperor is a big deal. As the crown prince, you will soon be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. How can you be so willful?"

Li Chengdao looked embarrassed and argued: "My son, I still have state affairs to deal with, so it's not good to waste time here. Didn't my mother and concubine teach my children to put state affairs first? My son..."

"I asked Mr. Jia and Mr. Changsun. They said that they would be responsible for the government affairs and let you try on the clothes with peace of mind."

"I am with you. You don't want to go anywhere today."

Zheng Guanyin was obviously prepared and immediately overturned Li Chengdao's excuse.

Li Chengdao felt as if he was struck by lightning when he heard this, and then he was ashamed and angry. He cursed Jia Xu and Changsun Wuji in his heart for being unkind and actually selling him out.

"Huitou Gu must let you work for Yue Fei for another month!"

Li Chengdao gritted his teeth and thought, and then he was pulled into the room by a group of palace ladies...

……

"Ah-"

In the Tai Chi Hall, Jia Xu, who was dealing with political affairs with Chang Sun Wuji and others, suddenly sneezed.

"What's wrong, Mr. Jia, is he catching a cold?"

Changsun Wuji raised his head and asked curiously.

Jia Xu rubbed her red nose and muttered: "It's nothing, I just feel like someone is paying attention..."
