Chapter 496

There is no winter in the south of the Yangtze River. Flowers bloom all the year round. Even the imperial capital Chang'an City has warmed up in February. Willows are green in March and flowers are red in April. But in the northwest, the wind became less bleak in March, the grass drilled out of the land in April, and the thick cotton padded clothes were barely taken off in May.

The grain of Jiangnan and Jiangbei is two seasons a year, and that of Northwest China is one season a year. In June, the wheat in the Central Plains is ripe, and the sowing season has just arrived in the northwest.

It was early June, when it was rainy in Jiangnan.

The northwest is also under this year. It's also interesting to imagine that his majesty, the founding emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty, held a city brick and carefully and solemnly covered it again and again on the so-called imperial edict.

As for those officials who were enfeoffed, it doesn't matter if they don't have appropriate crown clothes. Anyway, no one cares. Even the emperor's Dragon robes can make do with it. What else can't they make do with it?

That night, the emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty was in the prefectural yamen... No, it was a big banquet for officials in the imperial palace of the great Zhou Dynasty. Because the food and grass in the city were limited, there were only two meat dishes on each table. A bowl of pork and cabbage and a local chicken stewed mushroom were the most luxurious main dishes. A group of grand masters of Guogong County sat at the table, looked at the food, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Of course, this was not the most frustrating thing for them. During the meal, Emperor Da Zhou asked people to read dozens of decrees, and installed an emperor title for Li Xiao from his father to Li Xiao. In particular, Li Xiao had a posthumous title of 64 words, and he didn't know how much hair the person who wanted these words had collected before he came up with it. Then the will was given to the descendants of the Li family. Li Yuanshan sealed more than a dozen princes and more than thirty princes at one breath. For a moment, the princes of the state and county in the prefectural yamen immediately eclipsed.

Everyone hung their heads and had no joy on their faces.

but

Li Yuanshan did not seem to be affected.

He sat on a makeshift platform, raised his glass and made an impassioned speech, recalling the past and looking forward to the future. After speaking for half an hour, he had not finished when the pork and cabbage were completely cold, and the hands of the officials holding the wine glass were numb.

Li Yuanshan has been laughing and looks really happy.

It was not until after midnight that the banquet ended. The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, who had enjoyed himself, was helped back to his "bedroom" to rest. Prince Li Xiaoche followed and walked with his head down. It seemed that he didn't want people to see the embarrassed look on his face.

Back at his residence, Li Xiaoche served Li Yuanshan, took off his clothes and covered him with a quilt. Looking at the drunken man who was unconscious, who used to be regarded as the father of the whole sky, Li Xiaoche's mouth and heart were bitter. He knew how absurd his father's decision was and how ridiculous the so-called accession ceremony was. But from beginning to end, he tried to make himself look solemn, just to comfort his father's broken heart.

Emperor

Father finally became emperor. That's enough, isn't it?

Li Xiaozong stood by the bed and stared at Li Yuanshan for a long time. His heart was as painful as gouging out with a knife.

I don't know how long he stood like this. Li Xiaoche sighed long and was ready to leave. When he came to the door, he suddenly heard a low sob from behind. He looked back fiercely, but found his father lying in bed. Although he still closed his eyes, his tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Li Xiaoche hurried back and opened his mouth, but he couldn't find language comfort.

"Cher..."

"Father"

"My father owes you a prince's canonization ceremony, and my father will give it back to you."

Li Yuanshan murmured. Li Xiaoche couldn't tell whether he was awake or drunk.

"Li people... Li people never admit defeat!"

Li Yuanshan suddenly stretched out his arm and waved it with his fist clenched as tight as that: "this is just the beginning... Just the beginning! Sooner or later, I will sit on the Kowloon Golden chair in the Tai Chi Hall of Chang'an City and see who... Who dares to ridicule! Who dares to laugh at me, who dares to block me, I kill! I kill! I kill!"
