Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Shimin looked at these memorials in front of his desk, and for some reason, Li Shimin suddenly felt a headache, hey, he must have not had a good rest.

"Chang Lin, you send these memorials to various departments in the three provinces, and ask them to re-count some of the data in them, and then send them back to me after the New Year's rest is over. Regarding the return of the refugee from Chang'an County Magistrate, you Stay here for now, I'll take some time to see if I have nothing to do these days." Li Shimin thought for a while.

"Yes!" Chang Lin nodded, and immediately called a group of young eunuchs to come in, carried all the memorials on the table, and sent them to the respective yamen of the three provinces.

"Tomorrow is the new year's eve. You should count the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and follow the usual practice."

"It's Your Majesty."

Chang Lin went to deliver the memorial. Li Shimin glanced at the things left on the table about the return of the refugees.

Oops, my head hurts so much, forget it, go sit with the Guanyin servant girl, call Concubine Wei, Concubine Yin and the others come over and play mahjong, this mahjong is still good, and it’s time to rest for the new year, it’s time to rest, it’s time to rest , Isn’t that what Sun Zhenren said!

Li Shimin also simply left Liangyi Hall and went to Lizheng Hall.Hey, it must be very interesting to watch the New Year this year. Let's play mahjong!

Whoever wants to deal with this government affairs can handle it. Hey, speaking of it, if it is possible, Li Shimin would not bother to go to Yuanzheng's great court meeting, or let Li Tai forget it.

On the New Year's Eve of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Ke was woken up by the sound of firecrackers early in the morning. It was Tian Meng from the mansion who ordered the people to start setting off firecrackers.

Firecrackers have already been invented, and even some fireworks are available, but historically, real fireworks were invented and prevailed in the Song Dynasty, and now there are only firecrackers in the Tang Dynasty.For example, posting Spring Festival couplets also originated in the Song Dynasty and became popular in the Ming Dynasty.

The New Year's Eve or New Year's Eve in the Tang Dynasty is still very lively. Today, the people of Tang Dynasty will decorate every household with lanterns and festoons. The candles bought within a year will be lit in today's lanterns. Today's Chang'an City and even the entire Tang Dynasty will become The city that never sleeps, the country that never sleeps.

Even in some remote places, people don't have candles, and they are willing to prepare enough wood in advance to light a fire in the yard.

Tomorrow's New Year's Eve, there will be various Nuo operas in different places in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, which are gradually evolved from sacrificial dances in ancient times. These Nuo operas will be spread all over Chang'an City, there are folk, official, and of course There are also various noble families, and similarly, there are naturally some in the palace.

In addition to these, there are other kinds of performances. For example, puppet shows from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in later generations, called puppet shows in later generations, will be staged in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty.

Today's night, Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty will have a vigil, that is, the common people will watch the time until dawn, from the emperor to the princes and nobles to the common people. New Year pictures, standing door gods, etc., but the Spring Festival couplets will not become popular until the Song Dynasty.

As for the door gods Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, who are familiar to the later generations in the door gods, they have not yet become popular in this era.

After all, these two are still alive, they flourished in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and because of the rise of the door gods of the Tang Dynasty because of the worship of Guan Erye in the Sui Dynasty, the most popular elder brother of the door gods of the Tang Dynasty is Guan Erye, and Zhang Fei is the second brother.

There is no curfew in Chang'an City today, and all kinds of lanterns will be hung up in various places in Chang'an City. The entire Chang'an City is brightly lit today.

Although because of the candles, there will definitely be many small fires in Chang'an City today, but major fires will not happen. One reason is that today is the time for the Jinwu Guards to focus on, and almost all the Jinwu Guards on the street are dispatched On patrol.

The second is that everyone keeps the New Year's Eve, almost no one sleeps, everyone is awake, even if some candles fall down and burn something, the fire will not be too big and will be extinguished soon.

The first day of the tenth year of Zhenguan, that is, Yuanzheng in the Tang Dynasty, is the beginning of the year. Yuanzheng Day is the biggest court meeting every year. It is very grand. Officials who went to the capital had to go to court today.In addition, the envoys of all countries have to pay homage, enter the palace to congratulate, and congratulate His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty on his long life and boundless life.

Similarly, tomorrow's Yuanzheng Li Shimin will also have the first meal with the ministers, and then these officials can go home to reunite with their families. Officials who are allowed are not allowed to return to Beijing or their hometowns. They either take their families to the territory to celebrate the New Year, or they can only go to each other.

Therefore, the Spring Festival transportation has been around since ancient times.

On the day of Yuanzheng, almost all households in the Tang Dynasty will prepare delicious food and pay New Year’s greetings to each other. No matter where the guests go, there will be delicious food to eat. Of course, there is a difference between the folk and the nobles, but the same, The folks will also bring out the best things of the year to entertain guests.

It can be said that the New Year in the Tang Dynasty is very old-fashioned. Li Ke has passed several New Years, and he is naturally very touched. Of course, Li Ke is very sure that this year's New Year will definitely be more lively.

As for why he said that, of course it was because Li Ke prepared it for fun!Hey, fireworks, according to the historical development, it was only developed in the Song Dynasty, but Li Ke came, and he still has books, so the development speed of this thing is naturally not the same.

Therefore, Li Ke has already made fireworks that could only appear in the Song Dynasty and fly into the sky.

Of course, the degree of splendor is not comparable to that of later generations, but in this era, it is naturally colorful. Tonight, it is definitely the brightest cub in Chang'an City!Hey hey hey!

But today is the last day of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Ke still has to enter the palace to see his father, mother and queen, they will visit in advance to say that they cannot watch the night with them today, and then celebrate the new year tomorrow.

The New Year's greetings in Datang are not the same as those of later generations. On the day of Yuanzheng, males in Datang will kneel down and bow their heads to their elders, but females in Datang do not need to kneel. You just need to stand and bend forward.

So from a certain point of view, women in the early and middle Tang Dynasty were one of the dynasties with the highest status of women in the feudal era, and there is nothing wrong with it.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Li Ke came out of Qinwangzhuang and went straight to the palace. Because he had other arrangements in the afternoon and evening today, Li Ke also went to the palace in advance to accuse his father and the others.

When we arrived at Changle Gate, Li Ke couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the vehicle in front of him on the left, hey, it's such a coincidence, isn't this Changsun Dalang!Of course not only Changsun Dalang, Erlang Changsun Huan, Sanlang Changsun Jun, Shiro Changsun Yan, etc., they came here as juniors to visit Empress Changsun and Li Shimin.

In the Changsun family, apart from Changsun Wuji's main wife being the Zheng family in Xingyang, one of Changsun Wuji's younger sisters married to the Wang family in Taiyuan, and the other sister married to the Liu family in Hedong. It seems that his brothers married each other. The first daughter of a powerful family.

So... Hey, the more you understand this era, the more you can understand Li Shimin's powerlessness, the aristocratic family, it is really not so easy to cut off their influence on the entire Tang Dynasty.Except for the root-digging behavior that Li Ke is preparing to carry out, any other behavior can't eliminate their real power at all.

Seeing Li Ke, Chang Sun Chong's face turned green. Although he kept praying on the way here not to meet Li Ke, not to meet Li Ke, he still met him.

Seeing Changsun rushing towards them, Li Ke didn't leave, so he waited at Changle Gate with a smile on his face, waiting for them to come over.

With Li Ke's appearance, Chang Sun Chong could only walk over with a wry smile, forget it, he has been used to it for so many years.

Don't say that Chang Sun Chong is used to it. The younger brothers behind him have extremely helpless faces at the moment, and they are obviously used to it. Otherwise, what else can they do?

When they came over, Chang Sun Chong and the others bowed directly and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Qin."

"Excuse me." Li Ke smiled and waved his hand.

Seeing the smile on Li Ke's face, the corner of Chang Sun Chong's mouth twitched, and then he simply walked up to Li Ke on his own initiative, then reached out his right hand and clenched into a fist, and lightly hammered Li Ke's shoulder on Li Ke's shoulder, and then He took a step back skillfully, ready to squat down with his head in his hands at any time.

Li Ke was taken aback by Chang Sun Chong's behavior, and then he couldn't help but laugh, hey, this year is quite self-conscious, but not so self-conscious in previous years.

"Haha, Changsun Dalang, why haven't you seen me for a long time, and miss me?" Li Ke laughed twice, he suddenly felt that Changsun Chong was cute, and he didn't want to hit anyone today.

So Li Ke simply walked over, put his arms around Chang Sun Chong's shoulders, and dragged him with his arms around his shoulders. He walked towards the palace and said, "Look, what do you mean by this? Do you think I will hit you?"

"No way?" Chang Sun Chong looked at Li Ke in a daze.

"I'm fine, why should I hit you? Am I, Li Ke, such an unreasonable person? Come on, let's chat. Are you here to pay New Year's greetings to my father, queen and queen?" Li Ke said with a smile.

Changsun Chong: "..." It's been ten years of chastity, do you know how I've lived these nine years?Do you have the nerve to say this?

Brothers of Chang Sun Chong: "..."
