Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

The grand scene of New Year's Day.

In Chang'an City, the New Year atmosphere has completely risen.

The streets and alleys are filled with bustle and joy, with lights and decorations and loud gongs and drums.

It was as if he wanted to release all the pain that had accumulated over the year at this moment.

In the streets and alleys, the shouts of vendors selling snacks can be heard one after another.

The most popular product is glutinous rice cake, which is made from maltose.

It has a warm color and a soft texture. It is said in ancient times that eating gum glutinous rice cake can strengthen teeth.

Therefore, every New Year's Day, it becomes a favorite for people of all ages. While enjoying the sweetness, people also express their good wishes for good health.

Every household carefully prepares the five-spice dish, which is a traditional custom.

Five kinds of spicy vegetables - garlic, shallot, leek, scallion, and coriander, are put together to welcome the new year, bring good luck, and pray for good health.

The people of the Tang Dynasty mainly drank Tusu wine during the New Year.

Tu Su wine has a plain taste but can warm the body, and most importantly, it is cheap.

The whole family gathers together and drinks in order from youngest to oldest, allowing the new year to slowly begin in peace and tranquility.

Inside the palace walls, people were also immersed in the festive atmosphere of New Year's Day.

With the strong support of Lin Dafu of Qianyu Chamber of Commerce, many precious items were presented to the palace.

Needless to say, tea, salt, and sugar are also necessary.

One hundred thousand pots of Xiaobai Gan are the biggest focus today.

The name of this wine will resound throughout the Tang Dynasty from the end of tonight.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to advertise Xiao Baigan.

Lin Dafu has already thought of the advertising slogan.

National liquor - Xiaobai Gan!

In addition, quilts, scarves, gloves and other winter warm items were carefully made by Qianyu Chamber of Commerce under the instruction of Li Chengqian.

These were given as New Year's Day rewards to meritorious officials, important officials, and some elderly officials.

If I don't do anything, I'll probably just end up with a pair of gloves tonight.

The New Year's Day celebrations were held in the Daming Palace.

The palace is so large that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

In the Liangyi Hall, Fang Xuanling, dressed in a green brocade robe, sat upright in the hall, holding a cup of steaming hot tea in his hand.

He squinted his eyes slightly, sniffed the fragrance of tea, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Yuchi Jingde and other veteran generals were summoned into the palace in advance by Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian did this for Old Li's sake.

The main purpose was to allow Li Shimin to sneak in naturally.

Otherwise everyone would be in the palace attending the annual meeting.

Li Chengqian couldn't bear to leave Li Shimin, an old man, alone outside to celebrate the New Year.

In order to prevent Li Shimin from attracting too much attention.

Li Chengqian specially arranged him to sit next to Chen Fusheng.

Chen Fusheng is young and efficient.

As a rising star in the Tang Dynasty, he is now Fang Xuanling's number one right-hand man.

As long as Lao Li wears a half-face mask, Yuchi Jingde can be arranged to sit next to them.

Basically foolproof.

Li Chengqian's Liangyi Hall was filled with many newly made quilts, cotton clothes, brocade robes and other items.

This is no ordinary thing. His noodles are made of silk.

It may not be a big deal in the future, but it is a dimensionality reduction attack now.

As soon as Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others looked at these objects, a hint of heat involuntarily flashed in their eyes.

Li Shimin's previous reward was only twenty pieces of cloth, and only important officials in the court were fortunate enough to receive it. Not everyone could enjoy this honor.

This time, in order to show his kindness to his ministers and to reduce corruption in the future, Li Chengqian carefully prepared an extremely generous New Year's Day gift.

Important officials like Fang Xuanling could receive an annual allowance of ten thousand coins, as well as a full range of daily necessities, from silk quilts and brocade robes to daily necessities such as salt, sugar, and oil.

Every gift is filled with Li Chengqian's care and fully demonstrates the royal grace and honor.

This will definitely make these important ministers and backbone officials the most attractive people at the New Year's Day party in the evening.

Li Shimin sat upright in a chair, the teacup in his hand slightly steaming.

His eyes would occasionally look towards Li Chengqian, and from time to time he would look towards the New Year's Day people in the corner of Liangyi Hall.

After a long while, Li Shimin finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Chengqian, don't forget to prepare a portion for your father as well."

After saying this, he even emphasized the three words "Ni Aye" very much, fearing that Li Chengqian would regret it.

Li Chengqian raised his eyes and glanced at Li Shimin, only to see that he was drinking tea non-stop.

That look was concealing a certain expectation.

Li Chengqian laughed inwardly, but remained expressionless as he replied, "Don't worry, Father. I've prepared everything for you and will send it to Xianyang when the time comes."

Li Shimin didn't know that these New Year's Day ceremonies in Liangyi Hall were specially prepared for him by Li Chengqian.

Otherwise, why put it in Liangyi Hall? It also takes up space.

When Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian say this, he nodded repeatedly with satisfaction, his face full of smiles, and praised: "My son Chengqian is generous!"

Then, he seemed to remember something and asked Li Chengqian with great interest, "Chengqian, do you know what Aye's hobby is?"

Fang Xuanling was drinking tea leisurely, looking behind Li Chengqian from time to time.

Hearing Li Shimin's sudden question, his brows twitched slightly inadvertently.

He had followed Li Shimin for many years and guessed Li Shimin's intention almost instantly.

His eyes subconsciously turned back to the calligraphy that was newly hung in Liangyi Hall today - "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie".

He knew what Li Shimin was talking about, but he didn't dare to interrupt, so he could only helplessly hold his forehead with his hand.

Sit quietly aside and watch the changes.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with a puzzled expression. He tilted his head and thought for a moment before asking tentatively, "Father, what do you like? Do you like beautiful women or money?"

Hearing Li Chengqian say this.

Li Shimin was choked by the tea.

I couldn't help but cough twice.

"What are you talking about! Cheng Qian, Aye never likes that kind of thing, it's disrespectful!"

"Your father likes calligraphy and painting! When your father first ascended the throne, Yuchi Jingde and I bought back the Lanting Preface."

"You know, right?"

Li Chengqian nodded, not quite understanding.

"It seems that's the case."

Hearing Li Chengqian say this.

Li Shimin's face was full of smiles.

"Cheng Qian, look at the calligraphy hanging behind you. Is it the calligraphy of Kuaixue Shiqing? It doesn't look real to me. Take it down and let Aye take a look at it."

"You are the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty now. Liangyi Hall is where government affairs are handled! How can you hang a fake calligraphy?"

Hearing Li Shimin say this.

Li Chengqian understood it immediately.

Everything before the relationship is just preparation.

This calligraphy was given to him by Lin Dafu, and it is said that it was hung in the Liangyi Hall for display.

Li Chengqian died.

He doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting.

But when Li Shimin said the name of this calligraphy.

No matter how dumb Li Chengqian was, he understood it.

It turns out that it was a gift from Lin Dafu to himself.

It is Wang Xizhi’s famous “Kuaixue Shiqing Tie”!

No wonder he was still wondering why Lao Li and Fang Xuanling kept looking at him today. It turned out that it was because of the calligraphy behind.

Li Er is Wang Xizhi's number one fan.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with expectant eyes.

Still nodded.

"It's no use hanging it on me, you can take it and taste it!"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words.

Li Shimin immediately smiled happily.

"Okay, okay! My good eldest son Cheng Qian!"

"Let Aye appraise it for you! Aye doesn't want your things! He's just doing it for your face! Aye definitely won't take the real thing!"

Yuchi Jingde was just about to stand up to help Li Shimin get the painting.

He was stopped directly by Li Shimin.

"Lao Hei, don't move. You broke the Lanting Preface last time."

"I haven't slept for days, let me do it!"

Looking at Li Shimin's cautious look.

Yuchi Jingde also spread out his hands helplessly.

Fang Xuanling stood up and followed Li Shimin closely.

His eyes never left the calligraphy.

Cheng Yaojin watched the two men's actions.

He picked his nose, not caring at all.
