Chapter 698

The noisy, harmonious and happy New Year's day has always been the favorite festival of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is the emperor or the courtiers, or the rich merchants, or the common people, in the first few days of the first day, everyone seems to deliberately maintain a cheerful atmosphere, or really show their inner joy.

In short, walking in the bustling city of Chang'an, you can see the festive atmosphere full of joy. With the expansion of Chang'an City, both the Tang Dynasty and the foreigners are unprepared for the sudden expansion of Chang'an city.

Often in the festival some of the attractions that people forget to return to, naturally, as before, as visitors, bustling.

However, some entertainment activities that only appear in the new year's day and this particular festival have become more and more than in previous years because of the enlargement of Chang'an city. This makes people who do not want to miss every activity have to complain happily because of their "greed". Chang'an city is too big, so big that they are sure to see the activities in Dongshi After that, we must miss the activities in the western market.

If you want to meet in the outer city, you must miss the entertainment items in the inner city or some official ceremonies.

People greedily don't want to miss every wonderful activity in Chang'an City, but because of more and more intensive and dynamic activities, they have to start to be puzzled, tangled, contradictory choice, more colorful festival activities.

However, for children, the quality of entertainment activities can be ignored during the festival. As long as the adults can tolerate their wanton behavior and spend some lucky money annually and independently, they are most looking forward to.

New clothes can make a child excited for a night, but when the next day in a completely selfless play, a new dress has long lost control of children's behavior, less than a day, it will naturally become dirty and run back.

But relatively speaking, girls are much more rational in this respect. They are more rational and emotional than boys in terms of their free money and money spending in the new year's day or their new clothes.

Li Lingyue early sent his close eunuch Feng Shaonian, with his famous sting, to zhongshuling's residence in Zhongshu province to invite her good friend Shangguan Waner to play in the palace.

The whole palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Its lively atmosphere and luxurious decoration cost more money than in previous years.

Even so, the Tang Dynasty still has abundant funds to decorate all the scenic spots of Chang'an city with brilliant lights. Whether it is temples, Taoist temples, municipal workshops and Dayan pagodas, which are inhabited by foreigners, they are all decorated with bright lights and festive events.

The whole city of Chang'an is like a city that never sleeps on the night of the first day. The curfew was cancelled two days in advance. It seems that Chang'an City, which is full of people, seems to have entered into an endless cycle of 12 hours. No matter whether it is day or night, there is no shortage of people wandering among the streets and streets and the city.

What surprised the people of Chang'an city was that the imperial court continued to give the courtiers a holiday until the Lantern Festival, that is, the Lantern Festival, and had never asked for it or even mentioned it.

The evening of Shangyuan festival in the third year of Yifeng is the most solemn, noisy and lively period in the past year. The sound of the evening drum sounds slowly from the bell tower, and its sounds seem to carry the joy of the festival to all sides of Chang'an, the city that never sleeps.

In the whole Imperial City, the lights are bright as the day, and even the corners are full of a peaceful and festive atmosphere.

The evening drum and morning bell sounded for the last time. Suddenly, a armored army stepped on a neat pace from the gate of the city, escorting several heavily protected carriages, and slowly entered the Imperial City under the escort of bright swords, swords and halberds.

Then I saw that these soldiers began to unload boxes and boxes from the carriage in an orderly manner with orders. Everyone's movements were extremely cautious. Everyone's face was tense and dignified, but also revealed a trace of excitement.

No one knows what these people are doing. Because the people of Chang'an have been informed by the imperial court in advance, when chengwuwei starts to clean the first two streets outside the imperial city on red silk covered horses, people naturally cooperate with chengwuwei to retreat outside.

"What's the matter? What's the surprise today? " Outside the two streets behind the Jingjie street, the other streets were filled with a crowd of people, waiting one by one. I don't know what the imperial court is going to do today. It's so mysterious. It's the city's military guards who haven't appeared for many days. It's also the armored soldiers who enter the imperial city. This makes people's curiosity rise to the highest level.

Among the people whispering in the crowd, no one doubts whether there is a coup d'etat or something unexpected happened in the Imperial Palace, because people have already received the message that on the day of Shangyuan Festival, the whole imperial city and the surrounding two streets will be under martial law by the imperial court, but then you will see a scene you have never seen in your life.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei were invited to the sky garden of Daming Palace by Li Hong, Pei WANYING and others. Standing in the warm pavilions, Li Zhi and Wu Mei looked at the various scenic spots in Chang'an City under their feet. Today, none of the scenic spots that used to be bright day and night are lighted by lights.At this time, all the royal family members, including the whole royal family, had already slowly stepped up the stairs and stood behind Li Zhi and Wu Mei, Crown Princess and Bai Chun, Li Lingyue and Guan Wan'er. They all looked happy and curious. They didn't know what medicine Li Hong was selling in this gourd.

Under the air pavilions of Daming Palace, which was originally used for gathering and greeting, all the officials of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, dressed in festive casual clothes, were also whispering, guessing what the prince's highness wanted to do today.

No matter the Royal relatives in the castle in the air or the courtiers in front of the hall below, they slowly sat on the chairs prepared for them after the ceremony officials finished the lengthy memorial ceremony.

Li Zhi holds Li Ye in his arms, and Wu Mei holds Li Ye in his arms. The two little guys are very clever today. They are held in the arms of the emperor's grandfather and his grandmother. They do not cry or make noise. They are very quiet.

"What about Li Hong?" Wu Mei frowns and looks sideways at Pei WANYING and Bai Chun. Now in her eyes, Donggong seems to have two hostesses. Sometimes Bai Chun doesn't know something, Pei WANYING knows it, and sometimes it's the opposite.

Even in the East Palace, Bai Chun can make decisions on things that need to be decided by the crown prince. Pei WANYING can naturally make decisions on things that need to be decided by Bai Chun in the palace of PU.

This makes Wu Mei have to admire Li Hong's method of regulating the imperial palace. Seeing Bai Chun get along with PEI WANYING, she finds that when she is exploring, the question mark is more and more.

"Empress mother, your highness should be busy in the imperial city at this time. It is estimated that he will come up soon." Pei WANYING cleverly gets up, smiles at Wu Mei and replies softly.

"What's the matter? Jin Wuwei has been transferred, the central army has been transferred, the Chengwu guard has been transferred, and the Shenji camp has also been transferred. If I hadn't told me earlier, I would have thought that Li Hong was going to rebel." Li Zhi said carelessly.

After the first day of the new year, Lizhi was just over 50 years old. So now, he talks more and more freely. He doesn't care about his face. Li Shen, the king of Ji, and several other princes who look a little puffy at his side, also ignore that Lanling, Xincheng and Chengyang roll their eyes at him, and still say without any scruple.

Pei WANYING listened to Lizhi's speech on the Shangyuan Festival. She was so scared that she almost sat on the ground. If Bai Chun was not beside her, she would probably make a fool of herself in front of the whole royal family.

"Princess your highness, the lucky hour has arrived." Li Lingyue's close eunuch Feng Shao walks quietly to Li Lingyue, who is chatting with Shangguan Waner, and whispers.

"Ah? So fast? Get ready to pass it on. " Li Lingyue turned her head and was stunned and said.

Feng Shao bowed to answer, then bowed back, and then silently counted the numbers in his heart, and then stood at the gate of the main hall of the sky garden.

Li Lingyue looked at Shangguan Wan'er, and then she grew more and more "disastrous to the country and the people". She came to Li Zhi to salute, and said in a voice like a yellow warbler: "my son's minister, Li Lingyue, wish your father a good fortune overseas and live in the age of your life. I wish you a healthy dragon body and a long life in the Tang Dynasty."

Later, Li Lingyue didn't wait for Li Zhi and Wu Mei to react. After a eunuch opened the glass window, Li Lingyue yelled to the outside: "the auspicious time has come."

"The good time has come..." As Feng Shao heard Li Lingyue's clear voice at the gate of the hall, he began to shout loudly to the night sky.

What followed was the sound of the arrival of the auspicious time, from the castle in the air to the Imperial City ahead.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei look at each other in awe. Even Pei WANYING, Bai Chun, Lanling and Ji Wang don't know what Li Lingyue is up to.

But at the last sound of breaking their voice, Wu Mei and Li Zhi almost lost their noses. The rest of the people in the air were also surprised.

It was because, as expected, it should be Li Dan's voice. It was like a wolf howling, more like being trampled on the tail.

However, when the people were stunned and the officials were shocked, a sharp arrow suddenly sounded in the high altitude of the Imperial City, but different from that in the night, only the sound could be heard, and the ordinary sharp arrow could not be seen.

The sound of a sharp arrow, even with a trace of brilliant flowers and fire, like the meteor general straight into the night sky.

"What is this?" Wu Mei and Li Zhi stood up at the same time, some unbelievable from the glass window of the castle in the air, looking at the Chang'an City under their feet.

Originally, in the whole city of Chang'an, a dark scenic spot disappeared in the night sky with bright arrows and brilliant flowers. In an instant, they were lit by bright lights from east to west, one by one.

With the lighting of each scenic spot, all the people standing in the castle in the air, including the officials at the gate of the hall, naturally have a panoramic view of this magical scene.

The whole Chang'an City, in an instant, has become a more brilliant city that never sleeps.
