"Dong! Dong! Dong! "
As the bell rang six times.
Over the imperial city, horns sounded one after another.
"Woo!"
As the horns sounded.
The Vermilion Bird Gate slowly opened.
A red carpet spread from the imperial city to the main road of Chang 'an City.
On the main road, rows of tables were neatly arranged. As the gate of the imperial city opened, the firecrackers of Chang 'an City, which had long been spread out, roared like thunder.
"The imperial edict is here!"
At this moment.
A tower-like man in armor appeared at the gate of Vermilion Bird Gate when the firecrackers sounded.
When these three words sounded.
All the people in the city knelt on the ground.
The man's eyes, which were as sharp as swords, slowly swept across the audience. After seeing everyone on their knees, he roared, "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees! Today is the birthday of the Retired Emperor. The whole world is celebrating. I'll hold a banquet for all the people in the city to thank you for what you've done before! "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone choked on their words.
Three days ago, they got the notice from the government that the Emperor would hold a banquet for all the people in Chang 'an City on the birthday of the Retired Emperor. Everyone thought it was impossible. But today, they really saw what was possible!
In just one night, thousands of imperial guards had laid out red carpets and tables in Chang 'an. It was not until the imperial edict was announced that the people woke up from their dreams.
It turned out that all of this was true!
The Emperor really wanted to hold a banquet for them!
After thanking the Emperor for the imperial edict, the strong man waved his hand.
"Start the banquet!"
"…"
Although Chang 'an City was full of jubilation at this time.
But in the imperial city.
At this time, civil and military officials were kneeling outside Li Yuan's palace in fear and trepidation, waiting.
The Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince had been in there for two hours, but they hadn't come out until now. No one knew what had happened.
In Li Yuan's palace.
Li Yuan was leaning against a concubine's chest, watching the singing and dancing in the field, ignoring Li Shimin and his family, who were standing in the hall with their backs bowed.
Little Guizi couldn't stand it anymore.
He wanted to step forward, but Li Shimin stopped him with a look.
However, at this moment.
In Chang 'an City, the sound of firecrackers reverberated to the sky, making Li Yuan slightly frown. He waved his hand to stop the singing and dancing, and asked, "What's going on outside? Is it the Turks? "
"Replying to Retired Emperor, today is your birthday. The firecrackers outside are for your birthday celebration …"
"Oh?"
"It's my birthday?"
At this time, Li Yuan faintly shot a glance at Li Shimin.
"No wonder Your Majesty only had time to come to Zhen's place today. It turns out that you wanted to put on an act for the world to see?"
"Go back and tell them that I'm unwell this year and won't be able to celebrate my birthday!"
"This …"
The old eunuch by Li Yuan's side was instantly embarrassed.
Looking at Li Shimin, he didn't know what to do.
Li Shimin slightly shook his head, indicating the old eunuch to not act. He then took a deep breath and stepped forward, saying, "Father Emperor! This child … "
"You still know that Zhen is your Father Emperor?"
Li Yuan didn't give him any face. With a wave of his sleeve, he didn't even look at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin wanted to say something, but was pulled by Zhangsun Wu Gou, who said, "Father Emperor, don't be angry. I know that you don't feel well, but it's all in the past. Moreover, this daughter-in-law also knows that you can't bear to see the common people suffer. So in this short period of time, I also know that a lot of rumors have reached your ears, but please listen to this daughter-in-law!"
While speaking, Empress Zhangsun nodded at Li Shimin. She stepped forward and whispered in Li Yuan's ear.
Li Yuan's expression changed from disdain at the beginning to surprise at the end, and then there was even some expectation.
Li Shimin was stunned.
Everyone was stunned.
And right at this moment, Li Yuan was like a child, laughing out loud. ,
"Is what you said true?"
Zhangsun Wu Gou nodded gently and elegantly, "Father Emperor, why would this daughter-in-law lie to you about this kind of thing?"
"Good, good, good!"
Li Yuan's excited eyes were burning. ,
"Someone come!"
"Change Zhen's clothes!"
"What are you still standing here for? If you miss the good time, Zhen won't forgive you! "
"Hahaha, daughter-in-law is still the best!"
As Li Yuan laughed loudly, he hurriedly walked out.
As he walked, he shouted, "Daughter-in-law, is there really such good wine in this world?"
"Really, second brother knows that you like to drink, so he prepared 20 jars for you. Moreover, he also prepared a table of delicacies that you've never eaten before for you alone!"
"Really?"
"Would this daughter-in-law lie to you?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
This is also possible?
But this is already not the time to care about this. He hurriedly followed Li Yuan's footsteps and stepped out of the palace gate.
Once out of Li Yuan's palace, the hundreds of officials whose legs were numb from standing instantly saw Li Yuan rushing out of the palace in a hurry and with a face full of joy. All the ministers were stunned.
They hurriedly knelt and said, "Welcome Retired Emperor!"
"…"
