"I respectfully wish my father!" All the princes seized the opportunity to say at the same time.
Li Shimin was full of smiles, he had never been so happy as today, so he said: "Come here, come here, everyone take a firework and light it, so that the common people can also look at the auspicious photos of the Tai Chi Palace for a while."
After hearing the rumors, everyone flocked to the big box to pick out the fireworks. Sizi struggled to pick up a sky cannon, and Sa Huan ran down the steps. Li Yin jumped and quickly snatched the fireworks from her hand. The thing can't let her mess around, it's not a happy event if she gets hurt.
When the fireworks were taken down, Sizi immediately became unhappy, so Li Hua took the rain to complain to Li Shimin, saying that Li Yin bullied her and didn't take her to play.
Although Li Shimin is just new to fireworks, he also understands that fireworks are dangerous to a certain extent. It must be because of safety considerations that Li Yin does not let his son play with them, but he is in high spirits, so he asked the older prince to bring the smaller ones. The prince and princess are playing, so Li Yin is relieved, otherwise, if extreme joy turns into sorrow, this year will not be over.
Many princes and princesses joined the battle, and suddenly the front of Baifu Hall was brightly lit, the light of the fireworks illuminated the place like daytime, and the fireworks that exploded from the sky from time to time covered the entire square in front of the hall, like blooming flowers, colorful, like It was like a fairyland, beautiful in an instant, those concubines did not participate in the fireworks display, but just stood in front of the hall to appreciate all this, their faces were full of bewilderment, and Empress Changsun couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth as she watched the joyful scene.
"Min'er can surprise every time, the emperor hasn't been so happy for a long time." Empress Changsun said looking at Li Shimin who was playing with the princes and princesses.
Concubine Yang, who was standing beside her, had a bright look in her eyes, "This kid can make some strange and ancient things." Although the words were blamed, anyone could tell that they were proud.
After a box of fireworks was set off, the princes and princesses still couldn’t get enough of it. They had never seen such a fun thing before, especially when Li Zhi hugged Li Yin and didn’t let go. Give me some more!" The Seventh Prince Li Yun and the Eighth Prince Li Zhen also looked forward to Li Yun.
Li Yin spread his hands, he really didn't bring so many fireworks. I only brought such a box, which is thousands of miles away, and I brought too many fireworks, so I can’t bring other things, “I really don’t have any more.”
"Don't bother your sixth brother. Tomorrow, my father will ask Zhuo Zhuo to supervise and make some." Now that he has understood the principle of fireworks, Li Shimin made up his mind to ask Zhu Zao to supervise the production. These fireworks are really good when celebrating festivals.
A few naughty princes heard the words, and then let Li Yin go, and started pestering Li Shimin again.
The family dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Li Yin and Cui Yingying bid farewell to the princes and returned to the hotel. On the way, she checked the time, and it was already eleven o'clock. Cui Yingying was still intoxicated by the fireworks just now, and said: "There is such a good thing. Your Highness Why don't you take it out earlier, we can play it when we are in Yizhou."
Li Yin said: "If you celebrate the New Year in Yizhou next year, then I will let you have enough."
Cui Yingying was a bit overwhelmed by the long-distance fatigue this time. At night, she shouted that she would not come back next year for the Chinese New Year. Anyway, she can come back anytime on weekdays. There is no need to come back at the end of the year. Visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year made her very tired. Nodding her head, Cui Yingying remembered something and said, "Is the relationship between your Highness and the fifth prince not good? I don't think you two said a word during the family dinner."
"I have fought with him before, and we have never dealt with each other." During the family banquet, Li Chengqian and Li Tai greeted Li Yin politely, and Li Yin responded politely and thoughtfully. On the other hand, Li You had a really cold look, and had no interaction with the other princes at all.
"So it is!"
The two chatted about some interesting things, and returned to the hotel in a short while. Li Yin fell asleep after washing up, and there were still many things to do tomorrow. He is now a vassal king, and this vassal king came to Beijing to offer tribute at the Great Court Meeting tomorrow morning.
In the King Qi’s residence three lanes away from Li Yin’s residence, Li You hadn’t rested yet, and his uncle Yin Hongzhi, Zan Junmo, and Liang Mengbiao were all in his room.
But in just a few months, he was severely slapped. Li Yin was named the king of Chengdu, with military and political power in his hands, but he could accept it. After all, Li Yin had to guard the border and pay taxes. The status of Ziwang is still one level lower than that of Yiziwang, but within a year, Li Min changed back to Yiziwang, and won the Songzhou victory, which shook the government and the public, and Yizhou's business is also booming gold.
"You all think of a way, how can I make this king the same as that Li Yin to become the vassal king guarding one side, hmph, seeing how proud he is today, this king is angry."
Li Youben is a cruel-faced and dark rascal. As the saying goes, people divide like flocks, and those who can get his favor are naturally not good birds.
"Don't be impatient, Li Yin, no matter how capable you are, you are nothing more than a vassal. What we are fighting for is the throne. As long as the throne is in hand, can't you take him down as a vassal?" Yin Hongzhi said slowly.
Yin Hongzhi is Li You's uncle, and his father, Yin Shishi, was a former minister of the Sui Dynasty. After Li Yuan captured Daxing City in Xijing, he rewarded Yin Yue'e, the youngest daughter of Yin Shishi, to Li Shimin as his concubine. The favored concubine Yin, and before the Xuanwumen Incident, Yin Shishi exposed Li Jiancheng's conspiracy of the Kunming Lake Incident, thereby saving Li Shimin from being killed. Concubine Yin was favored by Li Shimin. It can be said that Concubine Yin was the most favored under Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang. Yin Shishi also gained power and Changsun Wuji could stand against each other. Otherwise, Li You would not have received such a superior entrustment.
"The throne! The throne! If there is still hope for the crown prince as before, the throne is even more impractical than the vassal king now. Can't you see that Li Tai and Li Ke are a little bit flinching?" When it comes to the throne, Li Yu was even more impatient.
Zan Junmo continued: "His Royal Highness, Yin Changshi is right. Compared with the vassal king, the throne is more important. Now His Royal Highness can learn from the old Qi Wang Li Yuanji and get closer to the prince. The power of the prince suppresses the other princes, and when the time comes, there will be a mantis catching cicadas and an oriole."
"That's right, if His Majesty can kill his brother to win the throne, His Highness can also follow suit, get rid of other princes, and kill the prince to force the palace." Liang Mengbiao said fiercely. Both he and Zan Junmo were favored by Li You because they were good at riding and shooting. One is not a ruthless person.
Li You was silent when he heard the words, recalling the public humiliation by Li Yin back then, he said: "Back then, Li Yin humiliated me in public because of an actor. Now that I think about it, this king still can't swallow this breath."
Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao glanced at each other, thinking that this was an opportunity to curry favor with Li You, so he said: "If Your Highness can't swallow this breath, the two of us can bring the dead soldiers of the Qi Palace to vent this bad breath to Your Highness."
"No!" Hearing the words, Yin Hongzhi stopped him: "Now that Li Yin is in favor, and it's the New Year, if something happens to Li Yin, His Majesty will be furious, and no one can afford to be held accountable."
"Yin Changshi, you are too timid. The mouths of these dead men are stronger than the mouths of dead people, and we didn't kill Li Yin, we just made him look ugly." Zan Junmo said.
What the two of them said was exactly what Li You wanted, he was a person who would retaliate, so he said: "Uncle, don't worry, just teach him a little bit, treat it as an elder brother to teach a younger brother, and let him know how to behave in the future. Respect brother."
Yin Hongzhi wanted to persuade him again, but Li You waved his hand and said, "It's all over, I'm tired and want to rest."
"Hey!" Yin Hongzhi sighed and flung his sleeves away, while Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao looked at each other and smiled. In the Qi Palace, one of them and Yin Hongzhi was Li You's left arm and the other was Li You's right arm, but the two Sometimes conflicts inevitably arise between the parties for their own interests, so they are friendly on the surface, but they are also playing games with each other in secret, but Yin Hongzhi is also King Qi's uncle, and he has advantages in himself, so the two can only grasp each other. Take every opportunity to win Li You's trust, so that if Li You becomes the emperor, they will also contribute a lot.
Li You's conspiracy Li Yin certainly didn't know about it, and he would never have thought that Li You was such a small-minded person.
The next morning Li Yin got up early in the morning, and today he was going to gather in the Hall of Taiji like the courtiers, and as a vassal king, he had to send congratulatory messages and tributes after the courtiers congratulated him.
When he came to the Tai Chi Hall, Li Yin first exchanged New Year greetings with the courtiers and said auspicious words. After Li Shimin arrived, he stood in the back row, and Li You stood in the same row with him. It was much better than during the family banquet, and from time to time he glanced at Li Yin with an inexplicable smile, which made Li Yin also baffled.
The Great Court Meeting is actually a very boring process, that is, the ministers read the congratulatory messages one by one and presented gifts. Li Yin stood behind and almost fell asleep listening to it. After waiting for an hour, Li You read the New Year's greetings before Li Yin, and then presented After receiving the gift, Li Yin glanced at a golden dragon twenty centimeters long and more than ten centimeters high. This Shandong is rich in gold, and Li You is indeed rich.
Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li You's gift, and then he set his sights on Li Yin. At this time last year, Li Yin gave him "Great Tang Jiangshan". I don't know what Li Yin can give him this year. Early towards what he was most looking forward to.
