Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

It seems that this thrilling infighting between princes that happened in one year is finally coming to an end. Although the struggle between princes has been going on for several years, the previous years combined are not as good as the ups and downs of the nine years of Zhenguan. And the twists and turns are so big.

And now Li Chengqian has disappeared, and Li Tai has also been forced to retire. It can be said that the only remaining strongest person is His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and there is no one of the "strongest"!

This is the complete victory of His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

Chapter 679 Heart-to-Heart Talk Between Father and Son

The Spring Festival culture of the people of the Tang Dynasty inherited the ancient customs, and developed greatly on the basis of the Han Dynasty and the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

For example, setting off firecrackers, offering sacrifices to ancestors, sweeping courtyards, closing markets and business, sticking and changing peach talismans, putting up lanterns, and celebrating wine, etc., even the royal family is no exception.

On New Year's Eve, every family in the Tang Dynasty had to eat New Year's Eve dinner, but it was placed in the palace.

And after the New Year's Eve dinner, the whole family sits around the fire to keep the New Year's Eve.

Du Fu once wrote the poem "Keeping the A Rong family at the age of The old age scene.

This New Year's Eve feast, in addition to the incident of Li Tai, which made the atmosphere a little dignified, the food was still very entertaining for the guests and hosts. After all, Li You's theoretical guidance of the chef's level is not covered .

After the banquet, the whole family sat around the brazier until dawn, and began the ancient ceremony of keeping the year old.

All the civil and military people of the whole dynasty retired to go home to keep the year old, leaving only the princes and princesses, and those concubines, sitting around Li Shimin.

The glow of the stove was warm, reflecting the glow of the crimson fire, Li Shimin was silent and didn't know what he was thinking.

If Li Shimin didn't open his mouth, then naturally no one would dare to open his mouth first, which led to the strange atmosphere of this New Year's Eve ceremony.

Everyone looked at him eagerly, and after a long time, Li Shimin suddenly reacted.

"What do you all look at? Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and don't be restrained when it's New Year's Eve."

As soon as Li Shimin's golden mouth opened, everyone cheered and began to eat, drink and play—of course, the main ones cheering were the younger royal clans.

Among the Li royal family, there are still some senior old people who are still alive. Although they are no longer directly related by blood, the direct descendants of those old people, even their married brothers, nephews, married sisters, and nephews are all You can get together and celebrate together.

This is the big family that people in the Tang Dynasty liked to live together. Bai Juyi once wrote about the scene of his family's Chinese New Year, "brothers, sisters, wives, nephews, and nephews, they make fun of me to help love." It can be said that the people of the Tang Dynasty valued family relationships very much. .

Because of this, there were many more children at the scene, many of whom Li You didn't know or had seen before. They looked ignorant and began to run around and play around in the hall.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's eyes became even more gloomy, and he stood up directly.

"His Majesty?"

Yin Shi seemed to be aware of it and looked up at him.

"It's okay, I'm going out for a walk."

Li Shimin waved his hand and walked out of the hall with his back on his back. Standing on the platform in front of the hall, he looked up at the sky silently.

Li You looked at Li Shimin's back hidden in the dark, and after thinking for a while, he also clasped his fists at Yinshi: "Mother, I'll go take a look."

Yin Shi smiled and nodded, and Li You also got out of the lively atmosphere and rushed towards Li Shimin.

Li You certainly knew why Li Shimin had been so reticent just now.

Although the ceremony continued and the year was still to pass, Li Shimin's heart was bound to be unable to calm down.

And although Li You did not leave any clues in the process of blowing up Li Tai this time, after all, there will still be a knot in Li Shimin's heart. If left alone, it may become the source of serious trouble in the future!

Therefore, Li You had to go if he didn't go, which was equivalent to finishing himself.

"Father."

Li You quietly came behind Li Shimin and looked up at the sky as well.

In the Tang Dynasty, the night sky was still very clear. Because there was no pollution, the stars could be clearly seen.

The entire Milky Way is spread on the pitch-black sky, which makes people feel very relaxed and happy, and at the same time, they can feel their own insignificance.

"The starry sky is so beautiful..."

Since Li You crossed over, it was the first time that he looked at the night so seriously, and he couldn't help but sighed subconsciously.

After speaking, Li Youcai suddenly woke up and asked, "Is the royal father also watching this starry night?"

"The reason why the starry sky is beautiful is because it is vast and pure," Li Shimin said suddenly, "If only the human world could be as simple as the starry sky, but it's a pity that although the human world is smaller than the starry sky, human relationships are more complicated. [-] times."

Li You heard the words and looked at Li Shimin quietly, and Li Shimin also turned his head and stared at this son who made him feel mixed feelings, "Although I believe that I treat my family members equally, as long as it is a human being, there is always a preference. Don't look at what people call saints and saints on weekdays, 017 is actually just a person sitting on the throne."

After a pause, Li Shimin sighed: "Therefore, the most beloved lover in my heart has always been the Guanyin maid. But now the Guanyin maid entrusts my son, one is missing, the other is banished, and I don't know where she is. How much will you blame me under Jiuquan?"

In ancient times, the imperial court was accustomed to deifying the emperor infinitely among the people, but Li Shimin now expresses to Li You that he is just a mortal, which is enough to see how emotional Li Shimin is at the moment.

"Father, I believe that Empress Changsun will not blame you." Li You comforted, "Since Empress Changsun has the reputation of being a virtuous queen, she is naturally very sensible, so she can definitely see that this is Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian. Who can blame Tai Zhi?"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say for a while.

After a while, Li Shimin sighed.

"Yang Jie, you really shouldn't do this."

Li Shimin began to call back Li You's words again, which means that this has become a private conversation between father and son. Li You understands that this is the best time for Li Shimin to open his heart for a short time!

Chapter 680 For a Greater Vision!

Since Li Shimin has said so, Li You does not intend to continue to hide it.

After all, this incident is not the same as inducing Li Chengqian to rebel. It is too obvious. It is just equivalent to a thin fig leaf, which can be broken with a single poke. Anyone knows the truth behind it. .
