Li Yuanying never thought of inviting His Majesty Li Er and the others to play. After all, this is not a holiday, and they still have a lot of work to do, so why join in the fun! The oldest friend he invited was Li Chengqian, and this was an invitation Li Yuanying sent him for the sake of roasting the whole cow.
It's a pity that the cattle are registered in the government office, and they cannot be slaughtered casually. It is a crime to slaughter the cattle, and the owner of the cattle must be held accountable. Li Chengqian told him that the spring plowing will start in a few days, and there will always be accidents with some cattle. He has already called people's attention. At that time, they can go to the secret base to eat roasted whole cattle!
The whole roasted cow can't be eaten yet, but it doesn't prevent Li Yuanying from thinking that Li Chengqian is a good nephew. He posted a post in advance to invite Li Chengqian to come and see the opening of the library, and see if Li Chengqian can take a vacation to come and have fun! Li Chengqian is here, but it's a pity that he failed to win in the rock scissors, and he has no part in exposing the red silk!
When Li Yuanying heard that the auspicious time had come, he led his son out. The crowds outside are full of people. If the street is not so wide, it cannot accommodate more people, and the crowd outside would be even more spectacular. Li Yuanying asked Sizi: "Look, there are at least a few thousand people outside, right? Aren't you afraid? I'm afraid I'll expose it for you!"
Sizi's eyes are bright, and his voice is clear and bright: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."
The outside was already full of people waiting for the library to open. Seeing a few children carved in pink and jade coming out of it, the oldest one was only in his early twenties, and he couldn't help being a little dazed.
Dong Xiaoyi has always been clever, and introduced Li Yuanying and the princes and daughters to the common people. The first one to introduce was naturally Li Chengqian, the prince. Li Chengqian's nephew.
The people were very supportive. When Dong Xiaoyi mentioned that the prince was coming, the people in the innermost circle exclaimed in unison: "His Royal Highness!" In such a crowded situation, no one asked the people to salute Li Chengqian, so the voice was just It spread out like waves one after another, and finally the whole street was filled with shouts of "His Royal Highness", and those behind who couldn't see the situation ahead were in a hurry, and some even carried the people next to each other check it out.
His Majesty Li Er and others came late, and they couldn't squeeze in, so they could only find a place to eat and go up to the second floor to watch the excitement from afar.
After the people all over the street finished shouting "His Royal Highness", Dong Xiaoyi introduced Li Yuanying, saying that this is the rightful owner of the library and the youngest brother of His Majesty, King Teng. The people began to shout "King Teng", "King Teng" and "King Teng". Li Yuanying was not stage fright at all, he was quite proud of hearing so many people calling his title, proudly puffed out his small chest to receive the attention of the people.
Behind are several little princesses and Wei Shu.
After Dong Xiaoyi’s introduction, news spread that His Royal Highness watched the opening of the library in West Market in person, and more people flocked towards West Market. Stretch your neck and look in like a duck. The Jingzhao Mansion had already asked the guards to line up along the street to maintain order, for fear that an accident would happen and he would lose his head!
Seeing this grand scene, Li Yuanying looked back at the library, which was opened up and remodeled by two large shops, and felt that it was still too small. Brother Huang is right, there are tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, and it is difficult to even feed them and clothe them warmly, let alone get them all to read the book! He bent over to pick up Sizi and said to Sizi, "Come on, the library should be open."
Li Chengqian and the others retreated to the sides of the eaves, so that the people in the front could see the situation inside the hall clearly. Inside the main entrance, there are two long cases for registering identities, and further inside are rows of bookshelves. There are no extra decorations, no carved textures, and only a faint fragrance of books and ink wafts in the air.
Books, all books and nothing else. But it was precisely because of this pure sea of books that the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. In such a place, everyone felt that making loud noises was a huge blasphemy.
Some poor students among the common people even had hot tears welling up in their eyes uncontrollably, sobbing softly under the surprised or understanding gazes of others.
Dong Xiaoyi dropped another bombshell: the plaque in the library was written by His Majesty himself!
All eyes turned to the plaque covered by red silk.
The si was not high enough, and when Li Yuanying lifted it up a little, it could reach the hanging red silk. She stood up vigorously, and the red silk on top slowly fell down, revealing the five words "Datang Library" written by His Majesty Li Er himself. Seeing the strong and powerful handwriting, the common people burst into tears. Someone shouted "Long live my emperor", and the people all over the street shouted again.
His Majesty Li Er stood in front of the window on the second floor, watching the people below shouting long live to the simple five-character mountain on the plaque, standing with his hands behind his back for a long time, and Fang Xuanling beside him said with emotion: "O Xuanling, I don’t think we’ve done enough.” Not enough, and not good enough, otherwise the people under the emperor’s feet wouldn’t be so excited by a simple library.
Fang Xuanling said: "Aren't you still doing it?"
After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, His Majesty Li Er felt that it was reasonable, so he no longer felt sorry for it. He said: "I didn't expect this kid to ask Sizi to uncover the red silk, but I love Sizi very much."
Wei Zheng knew Li Yuanying better, so he guessed the most likely possibility: "It's about guessing and losing." If his granddaughter Wei Shu wins, then his granddaughter can also be the one who reveals the red silk!
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Wei Zheng, the little old man, then at Wei Shu who was standing with Li Yuanying in the corridor watching the common people entering the hall, and said with a smile: "It seems that my son's luck is better, Wei Qing, yours." The granddaughter is slightly inferior."
Fang Xuanling and the others looked at Wei Zheng, a little envious of his granddaughter who joined Li Yuanying's team. No, apart from His Majesty Li Er, the father of the prince and daughter, the only one mentioned was The minister only has Wei Zheng—because his granddaughter Wei Shu and Li Yuanying play well!
Wei Zheng fell silent.
At this time, the first batch of bamboo tokens had been distributed, and those who got bamboo tokens entered the arena one after another. Many of the remaining people were unwilling to disperse, and stayed at the door to see if anyone had returned the bamboo tokens earlier. There are also a group of volunteers in the library, who are responsible for registering the borrowing situation and answering questions for people. A large number of people have poured in, but the order is not chaotic at all!
After the first wave of people had entered, Li Yuanying and Li Chengqian walked back inside together. Many people were lingering in front of the bookshelf, browsing the books on it with bright eyes. I picked up the selected book and went to the reading room and couldn't wait to read it. Li Yuanying liked this kind of atmosphere very much, and felt that this was the energy that a Tang student should have.
Of course, there are also some who don't know a single word, and just snatched the number plate out of curiosity. They walked around the library and found that there was nothing else to look at but books, so they returned their number plates and went out.
On the first day of opening, no one deliberately stole the number plate or stole the collection, and everything went on in an orderly manner. After all, there are volunteers from the Imperial College inside the museum, guards brought by the princes are guarding the door, and there are guards sent by Jing Zhaoyin standing in line outside, no one dares to mess around.
Li Yuanying reckoned that after a few days, fewer people came because of curiosity, and the rest were people who really wanted to read. At first they might need volunteers to guide them, and later they would spontaneously maintain order in the library. If it can continue to operate according to this momentum, the library will be considered successful!
After finishing the lively opening ceremony, Li Yuanying will lead his friends to leave together. Wei Shu didn't want to leave yet, so Li Yuanying gave her the gold medal she had made, saying that she was a lifetime member of this library and could read books anytime!
Wei Shu looked at the golden number plate and didn't know what to say for a while, but finally accepted the golden number plate from Li Yuanying silently. Anyway, she's just holding it, and she won't sell it!
Li Yuanying and Li Chengqian walked out of the library, surrounded by many people, and when they saw that they wanted to leave, they spontaneously made way for them.
Li Chengqian was often avoided by people in awe when he went out on weekdays, but he felt those curious or enthusiastic eyes around him, but he felt that it was quite different from usual. He didn't feel that these people who secretly looked at him were disrespectful, on the contrary, he felt an unspeakable enthusiasm surging in his heart.
Li Yuanying, who was walking beside Li Chengqian, didn't feel so much. He felt that these people had discernment, and they insisted on waiting outside even if they didn't get the number plate! He pretended to be a scholar and cupped his hands to the people around him. He didn't have any airs of a little prince, and he joked with them with a smile: "Come here earlier next time, or you won't be able to get the number plate again."
At first, everyone was in awe of these sons and daughters of the Tian family. Seeing Li Yuanying's cute appearance, they all relaxed and agreed: "I will definitely, I will come early next time!"
Li Yuanying babbled all the way there, but he could figure out the intersection.
Without the crowds of people outside the library, the street looks much brighter!
Li Yuanying saw that it was still early, so he discussed with Li Chengqian and the others whether they should go out of the city for an outing! Of course, this proposal was unanimously approved by the friends, but unfortunately, before they could leave, someone sent by His Majesty Li Er went online to stop them, and politely invited them to talk in the private room of the restaurant next to them.
Li Yuanying was not very happy, but His Majesty Li Er was Li Chengqian's father after all, so he had no choice but to go upstairs with him.
As soon as he arrived in the private room, Li Yuanying was startled. Not only His Majesty Li Er was there, but also Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda, and Changsun Wuji. These people don't care about government affairs, they all sneak out to drink! The younger ones were obviously shocked by the battle, and they all stepped forward to salute like quails.
Li Yuanying was not cowardly, he was not afraid of death and ran over to ask His Majesty Li Er: "Brother Emperor, why are you all neglecting your duties and running out of the palace to watch the fun! The people in the world are all pointing to you for their blessings!"
Wei Zheng and the others: "..."
His Majesty Li Er couldn't hold back all of a sudden, raised his hand and knocked him on the head.
Li Yuanying covered his head, feeling that his elder brother was too small-minded to listen to the truth!
However, since His Majesty Li Er and others skipped work collectively, Li Yuanying had a new idea: "Brother Huang, we are here, why don't we go out of the city to have fun together! Doing things requires a combination of work and rest to be efficient. If you are busy every day If you don’t rest, who can stand it. Brother Huang, let me tell you, Chengqian has a good place to go, where he can roast whole cows and lambs, so many of us are just right to go!”
Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in unison.
Li Chengqian: "..."
When he heard the word "Chengqian" just now, he should have gone up and covered Li Yuanying's mouth.
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: As long as you can't beat me to death, I will kill you!
