Chapter 370 Li Shimin has angina pectoris
As soon as the drum sounded below, Li Shimin knew that his son Li Zhi had arrived. Li Zhi went to see Wang Ping'an compete in medical skills today. No matter whether Wang Ping'an wins or loses, he will bring Wang Ping'an here. As soon as they arrive, the ignition ceremony will begin in the Tang Dynasty Olympics.
This ceremony is a bit like a stance before the army set out to war, but now it is igniting fire, and before the war set out, it is chopping the enemy's head and killing the cow to strengthen its momentum!
The drum sounded dong dong, and it sounded for a moment, and suddenly it sounded three times!
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Wang Ping'an won!"
Li Shimin said, "How do you know he won?"
Changsun Wuji said: "The old minister and the prince have discussed it. If Wang Ping'an wins, he will click on the odd number. If he loses, he will click on the even number. It's very simple, and you will know it at first glance!"
Li Shimin laughed and said, "Sure enough, I won. It seems that Long Aotian is still not as good as Wang Ping'an!"
"The key is that his master is not here. Without the support of his master, how can he win steadily without his disciples being too young!" Changsun Wuji said authentically.
Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and understood in his heart that this was Changsun Wuji's sensation. He told himself that Li Zhi was too young and he still needed the support of you, the emperor. If you can help him for a while, just help him for a while!
He thought to himself: "I want to help him more, but life and death are all up to heaven, and my body is getting worse and worse recently!"
With a smile, Li Shimin turned his head and said, "Wuji, you are so bad about this. Wang Ping'an is younger than Long Aotian, and even less famous teacher support. Why can he win?"
Changsun Wuji didn't even think about it and smiled: "Although Wang Ping'an is young, he has good teachers and friends. Isn't the prince his good teacher? The two of them have a good relationship and talk about everything. With the prince instructing him, he will be better than a little Long Aotian, isn't it easy to beat him!"
Li Shimin laughed loudly, turned around and waved his hand, and asked Chu Suiliang to go down. Chu Suiliang was equivalent to the emperor's senior secretary and part-time spokesperson for the Tang Dynasty. Whenever this time, he would stand in front and recite loudly with the imperial edict!
Chu Suiliang understood and took the imperial edict in his hand, got down the city tower, came to the battlement, stood in front of the lantern, cleared his throat, and read out the imperial edict loudly. The imperial edict was still written by him, but he finally did not write it too profoundly anymore!
He exhaled and recited the imperial edict again. It was nothing more than why he held this conference, what purpose was to achieve, and how it was like! He recited the imperial edict, but not many people could hear it, it was just a formality!
After reading it, the drums started again, and the people shouted long live!
Wang Pingan pulled Long Aotian over and said, "Brother Long, it's time for you to go on stage now. The prince and all the ministers have discussed that you will complete the ignition ceremony of this conference!"
He pointed to the wooden rack and said, "Look, you climbed onto this wooden rack and almost reached the iron pan. A small platform was not released? You stand on top, throw the torch above into the pot, and then climb down. Even if you complete the ceremony, how simple it is, can you do it well, right?"
Long Aotian was stunned and stared at the pot in a daze. Suddenly he shook his head and said, "I can't do it well. I have never climbed so high. If I climb halfway through... I, I don't want to make a fool of myself. I've made enough ugly things these days. I really don't want to make another appearance in front of the people of the whole city!"
When Li Zhi heard what he said, he turned around and said angrily: "Didn't you agree to go up and light the fire? Why did you change your mind temporarily?"
Long Aotian looked bitter and said, "But I never thought that this is the ignition method. It's too high and there are no stairs yet. I have to climb up!"
Li Zhi became more and more angry and said angrily: "The father is waiting on the top, and the people of the whole city are watching. Even if you are afraid, you have to climb up. If you don't crawl, you will chop your head!"
No matter what, Long Aotian is also a minister. The king ordered that even if he climbed up and lit the fire, he would have to jump into the oil pan now!
Shiveringly, Long Aotian walked towards the wooden frame. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to have cramped in his calves and his walking was unsteady!
Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll go!" He tightened his belt, strode forward, pushed Long Aotian away, and walked to the wooden frame. With a wave of his hand, a soldier immediately stepped forward and tied a rope around his waist to prevent him from falling off!
Long Aotian wiped his sweat and slowly retreated to the back, thinking to himself: "It seems that I am not only inferior to Wang Ping'an's medical skills, but also not even as brave as him!"
Wang Ping'an began to climb up the wooden ladder, and there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him below!
Never look down, Wang Ping'an kept raising his head, crawling onto the small platform that was being laid out, picked up a torch from the platform, raised his head high, and turned to face the people!
The people clapped and cheered, shouting loudly, asking Wang Ping'an to ignite the fire quickly!
Wang Ping'an shouted loudly: "Long live the god khan!" As he said that, he turned around and threw the torch into the iron pot!
With a bang, the tinder in the iron pot was ignited, and the fire immediately lit up, illuminating the Xuanwu Gate. Wang Ping'an stood next to the iron pot. The people in the city could see clearly, and the cheers were even louder!
Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, Wuyan was still brave! However, this airs were not too high. If I had climbed, there would be no problem, right? Then he thought again, it was not that I didn’t want to climb, but that I didn’t want to climb, and I was too disgusted. Such small things should be left to Wuyan to do. I would like to guide him below, which is the most appropriate way!
Looking at Wang Ping'an under the fire, Long Aotian thought to himself: "It's so majestic..."
Ouyang Li and others also thought: "So majestic..."
Countless people were thinking: "It's true that they are the princes, they are so majestic..."
The majestic Wang Ping'an coughed twice and thought to himself: "What kind of tincture is this? Such a big smoke..."
Under the wooden frame, countless big drums sounded together. With the sound of the drums, a group of soldiers rushed out, holding long swords and shields in their hands, and began to dance, which was the Qin King's formation-breaking dance!
Following the drum sound, the ministers on the city and the people under the city sang in unison: "The Lord is the sage and the Lord is loyal to the great plan; after the Lord sees the rebellion, it will be peaceful autumn..."
The military singing sounded, and soon after, a large merchant in the crowd began to distribute torches. Although the torches were made vulgar, each torch was painted white, and the name of the big merchant was written in black ink. It was the big merchant that sponsored the oil pan!
The people lit torches and shouted long live on the mountain in front of Xuanwu Gate. Then, they treated the torches as lanterns, held them in their hands, and walked towards Fanglin Gate. There is no curfew in Chang'an tonight, and the people can travel to Chang'an at night!
Wang Ping'an climbed down from the wooden frame, held a torch in his hand, and followed Li Zhi, surrounded Chang'an City and began to circle around!
Li Shimin looked at the countless torches below, smiled and said, "Okay, although the ceremony is simple, the people are all happy. As long as the people are happy, I will be satisfied!"
He turned around, took all the civil and military officials down the city tower, and turned back to the Ganlu Hall.
Halfway through the way, I suddenly saw a group of women in front of me laughing and joking, and were walking towards this side. The leader was Princess Gaoyang, and the little princess Li Yiren was among them!
Li Shimin was in a happy mood and waved his hand, "Why are you here? Do you want to go to the city gate to see the people traveling around the city?"
Princess Gaoyang ran over and smiled after seeing the ceremony: "Father, women are allowed to participate in the Olympic Games tomorrow. My son also wants to follow the people and run away!"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "What a joke? As a princess, how can you get off the race? What a moral character!"
Li Yiren said, "Who says women are not as good as men? My sister wants to learn from Mulan, so my father agrees to her!" She spoke in a crisp and fast voice. After saying this, she suddenly said, "But sister, don't take off her clothes, my brother-in-law will be angry!"
Princess Gaoyang spat and said, "In front of your father and ministers, you dare to talk nonsense, there is no rule at all!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Go and have fun, and make a good mess tonight!"
Changsun Wuji was his uncle. He smiled at the two little nieces and said, "Go, go to the palace city to have fun. The prince, Wang Ping'an and the people are going to Fanglin Gate. You can walk west along the palace wall and you can see the bustling for a long time!"
When Li Yiren heard Wang Ping'an's name, his eyes lit up and said, "Wang Ping'an, is he below too?"
Although Li Shimin didn't know much about his younger daughter's feelings, he still knew a little. Which young man didn't fall in love with him, and which girl didn't have a heart, let alone Wang Ping'an is the most outstanding among the younger generation. It is normal for his younger daughter to have a lot of eyes on him!
He smiled at his youngest daughter and said, "Wang Ping'an is accompanying your prince brother and leading the people to parade the streets. It's dark now. You can't see them in the palace city, you can only see countless torches!" As he said that, he waved his hand and asked his daughters to play by themselves. He took all the civil and military officials to turn back to the Ganlu Palace.
Li Yiren and Princess Gaoyang were so happy, and took the palace maids to have fun on their own!
When he returned to Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin talked to the ministers for a while and then asked the ministers to go home. He stayed alone in the hall and looked through the newly sent memorials today.
Shi Zhongchen lit a candle for him, stepped aside a little, and did not dare to disturb the emperor's handling of official duties.
Li Shimin looked through the memorial and suddenly saw a memorial from the border. After only looking at the first half, anger appeared on his face, and he slapped the table with a slammed, shouting: "The bastard is actually getting more and more frustrating!"
The emperor suddenly yelled, which shocked Shi Zhongchen and thought to himself: "Oh no, the emperor is angry again, but don't be sick again like a few days ago!"
Li Shimin's breathing gradually became heavy, as if he was suppressing his anger. He continued to look down at the memorial and saw the last sentence. He was so angry that he could no longer hold back. In anger, the table was overturned, reached out and pressed to his waist, shouted: "Wolf ambition..." He pressed his hand blankly, and he did not wear a sword!
Shi Zhongchen was shocked and thought to himself: "If it's bad, the emperor's heartache is about to have an attack!"
Chapter completed!
