Text 358 Great Pilgrimage
Li Zhi, who kicked someone to another sofa, sat down happily next to the queen of the Tang Dynasty, and after listening carefully to the dozen or so political opinions that Wu Mei put forward to Li Hong, he was even more satisfied and praised again and again, and he kept hitting someone with his queen's political opinions.
Li Hong helplessly listened to the instructions of the dragon father, ignored Li Lingyue, who was lying on his ear next to him and asked him to take him out of the palace to play, and when he was about to get up and leave, he heard his dragon father open his mouth: "Wait a minute, I still have something to tell you." ”
"You don't have to open your mouth, your sons won't agree." Li Hong didn't wait for Li Zhi to speak, so he directly refused.
"Huh? The little bunny turned against you? Before I could say anything, you just rejected me? Believe it or not, I rule you, this Shangshu makes a big disrespect! Li Zhi blew his beard and glared at Li Hong and said.
"Don't you just want to say that now that my Datang is far richer than the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty can fully bear all the expenses of foreign envoys during the Yuanri Dynasty, how can I, Datang, be stingy?" Li Hong said disdainfully.
"What? You disagree? Wu Mei asked curiously.
"Of course Erchen disagreed, they came to my Tang Dynasty to congratulate, it would be good not to slaughter them ruthlessly, and pay for them? Erchen didn't dare to be stupid and have a lot of money. ”
"Who do you think is stupid and has a lot of money? Who is stupid and has more money? Queen, give me a feather duster, and see how I teach this unfilial son ....... Li Zhi snatched the feather duster from Wu Mei's hand, and got up to beat His Royal Highness the Prince, who had already run away.
"How dare Erchen say you, Erchen is talking about himself, talking about himself, is this okay?" Li Hong cautiously looked at Daddy Long, who sat down again, and had to walk up to him again, and said patiently: "Father, Emperor, Mother, now my Datang seems to have a lot of money, but now there are more places to use money, and there is still a tail left for old money for new money, and when these foreign envoys come, they will have to pay hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to pay out, after all, when they come, they must have used the old money that my Datang is short of catties and taels, so ah, Erchen thinks it's better to leave them alone, and let them pay the bills by themselves is the most correct." ”
In the eyes of Li Zhi and Wu Mei, Li Hong, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, is good everywhere, but it is the narrow-mindedness of this person who faces the foreign lands of Fanbang that makes them unbearable the most, but it makes the two unable to refute.
As foreign envoys arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, one after another, before the first day of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang, which was already lively, suddenly became more prosperous.
Whether it is a foreign envoy, or a prince, a prince or a princess, they have rushed to Luoyang to participate in the court meeting in the past few days, and Li Xian and Li Zhe, who had been confined to Chang'an, finally arrived in Luoyang when the first day was approaching.
Luoshui has already been artificially thawed at this time, imitating some flower shops in the south, and docked at Luoshui in Luoyang City, and the endless flow of passengers makes the bustards grin every day, and a lot of silver is drilled into their pockets.
Standing by the river, you can hear some verdant laughter and singing from the painting boat, and the heroic poet's poetry is endowed with it, and the music is heard on the long Luoshui embankment.
Along the river bank from west to east, the painting boats were one after another, whether it was prostitutes, painting boat guys, or scholars, scholars, dignitaries and nobles who came to paint the boats for fun, all of them were full of smiles and kind attitudes.
Since the beginning of the first emperor, because some local governors, assassins, and chiefs still need to rent people's houses or live with merchants after coming to Chang'an or Luoyang, they have long been ordered by Taizong to prepare 300 residences for their local officials in Chang'an City.
By the time Li Hong's defeated father held a grand pilgrimage in Luoyang at this time, his official residence had been shaped, and after each official fortune arrived in Luoyang, reported his official position, etc., he could find a residence that matched his official rank in a few squares east of Luoyang, and no longer had to rent a house or inn like at the beginning.
At this time, the busiest are the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, which need to provide all the necessary arrangements for local officials and foreign envoys.
As for other officials, the three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five supervisors, as big as the post of Shangshu, as small as the squire or even the lower rank, in these days, they will contact other local officials to increase their feelings, or plot some of their own little Jiujiu, whether to be promoted or to change places to continue to earn qualifications.
In short, whether it is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, or the Ministry of Households, at this time, even Li Hong is difficult to find them in his residence, and they are all busy entertaining at this time, lingering among the painting boats, restaurants, and inns.
According to Li Hong's words, if you really have something to look for them, you might as well stand on the bank of the Luoshui River and shout a few times, so that you may be able to yell out the official you are looking for.
Li Sujie and Li Shangjin naturally rushed over from their fiefdoms, compared to the officials, they are much better than the princes of His Majesty the Emperor today, although there is no palace like Chang'an, but compared to others, their mansion is also a mansion, and they brought their families into battle together, after arriving in Luoyang, the first thing they did was naturally to enter the palace to greet their dragon father.
Now, except for Li Zhong, who is still alone in Loulan for the first day, the heirs of His Majesty the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty are left Li Shangjin, Li Sujie, Li Xian, Li Zhe, Li Dan and His Royal Highness the Prince, as well as three princesses.
Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Hong felt that there were fewer heirs for Daddy Long, but he didn't dare to tell Daddy Long at will, as long as he said it, it would definitely reach the ears of Mother Long, and he would inevitably be beaten up when the time came.
Li Sujie frequently wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Li Hong alone, but Li Hong gently refused, and now all the officials are busy with the Yuan Day Pilgrimage, don't make a mess at this time, as for the Yuan Day Celebration to keep up with the Yuan Festival, then it can be another matter.
All the princes and princesses, who can live in Luoyang Palace in the overcrowded Luoyang Palace, only the crown prince Li Hong is still like in Chang'an, and he is in the East Palace to the east of the palace, and the architectural design and luxury here are simply shabby compared with Luoyang Palace.
Even Li Lingyue, who has always liked to follow Li Hong's ass as a tail, chose to live in Luoyang Palace because the East Palace was not as good as Luoyang Palace, abandoning the prince and brother who could tell stories.
Asahi set up futon, foot seat (case), smoker, incense case on the palace, everything here is set up according to the old system, if you put in the table and chairs, the Qianyuan Hall of Nuoda is not enough for the hundred officials, so it still follows the futon and the case, the province and the place.
The imperial historian led the subordinate officials to the west of the palace, paging from the official Zhu Yi, urging hundreds of officials to be in place, and the civil and military were listed in two views. The two supervising imperial historians stood in the east and west courts to pay homage.
Pingming, the pass point is completed, the inner door is opened, the supervision of the imperial history leads hundreds of officials to enter, the sandwich steps, and the two captains of the prison gate are in charge of the door.
Zhongshu, Menxia, Shangshu three provincial officials in front of the incense case, the hundred official classes in the palace around, the first class, the second class, the third class, the fourth class, the fifth class. In each class, the provincial official of Shangshu is the head.
The officials of the East Palace are the second to the officials, and the officials of the royal palace and the relatives of the emperor are second.
"Foreign Affairs Office."
The emperor and the empress stepped out of the west preface door, the rope fan, the fan closed, the emperor ascended to the throne, and the fan opened. Then leave three fans on the left and right.
The officials of the three provinces bowed to the emperor and empress of the Tang Dynasty and ascended to the palace. The inner confessor undertook to call for the battle, and the left and right Yulin troops surveyed the wooden deed and entered from the east and west pavilions. One person above the fifth grade of the Inner Servant Province will lead it, and one general and one general will be on the left and right.
During the whole ceremony, the crown prince Li Hong first offered a birthday ceremony, and then the princes and others offered gifts. The congratulatory table of the place where the Zhongshu order is played, the Huangmen Shilang plays the auspicious auspicious signs, the Hubu Shangshu plays the contribution of the states, and the Ministry of Rites plays the contribution of the Zhufan, etc.
In this way, it has been nearly two hours in a hurry, someone sitting in the center of the hall is already drowsy, although last night because of today's Yuan Day Dachao He did not toss Bai Chun, but got up early, and it was to bathe and burn incense, and to do various sacrifices in the East Palace first.
Shangguan Yi, Li Yifu and other old immortals were like robots at this time, with solemn faces, so that Li Hong didn't have the opportunity to discuss with them about simplifying the ceremony, but was like a puppet being carried around, and let him do whatever he wanted.
In Li Hong's opinion, such a toss is more tiring than going to the battlefield, but there is really no other way, these officials of the East Palace at this time, there is no slightest affection to talk about, and if they say a few more words, they will attract the imperial history to prepare for impeachment, so they simply follow it sullenly.
However, what made Li Hong feel a little relieved was that other princes such as Li Xian, Li Zhe, and Li Dan were even worse than him, and they were gathered outside the palace gate by the imperial historian early in the morning, standing with other officials, shivering in the cold wind of dawn, but they also had to wait patiently.
Because Li Sujie and Li Shangjin have families, they also need to carry out rituals such as worshipping the heavens and praying for blessings in the temporary palace, and they can only run to the ranks of the hundred officials when they are busy.
As for whether it is the local governor, the assassin, the chief, or the prince or the prince, everyone's auspiciousness is a stomach cramp that makes Li Hong laugh, but looking at everyone's solemn face, as well as his father's smile and beard, with a satisfied expression, Li Hong had no choice but to hold back his smile and lower his head under Wu Meifeng's angry gaze, trying not to let himself laugh out loud on such an occasion.
Most of them are some gold, silver and jade and the like, but there are also strange people, Fuzhou Thorn Shi Pei Zhiyuan, after knowing that the kelp can be eaten now, he carried a large string of dried kelp, and presented it to the dragon father with a serious and solemn face, so Li Hong couldn't wait to give Pei Zhiyuan a few slaps.
But in addition to kelp, Pei Jiyuan still made a poem to confess his loyalty and encourage all the ministers, Li Hong, who listened to it, naturally shook his head disdainfully, but he had to endure it.
In short, no matter which local officials or royal relatives offer auspicious rui, they will say auspicious words or show loyalty, and after everyone has offered auspicious rui, Li Hong found that only he seems to be the most insincere when offering birthday ceremonies, because his dragon father is looking at him dissatisfied.
