Wu Mei believed in Li Lingyue's vision. Since Li Lingyue said that "The Legend of White Snake" lacked some atmosphere, she also felt that it lacked some atmosphere.
But when she heard Li Lingyue talk about the twists and turns of the story and the sad characters, Wu Mei's curiosity was aroused again.
"That's no wonder. Since it happened in the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, it's understandable that it's more graceful and less grand. But... is it really as beautiful as you said?" Wu Mei looked at a glass of juice unconsciously. , Li Lingyue had already drank it into her stomach, and she asked with a slight frown.
Seeing Long Ma's frown, Li Lingyue naturally knew how to observe people's emotions. In this advantage, she was much better than her imperial brother Li Hong.
"No more. I won't drink any more juice tonight. Anyway, I think it looks pretty good. You will know after a while that what I said is true." Li Lingyue tilted her head and looked outside. The fireworks she had been looking forward to were gone. Don't know when it will start.
This year the Imperial Brother is going to surprise people again. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Bell and Drum Tower, etc. were lit up early, which lacked some of the mysterious atmosphere last year. However, in order not to disappoint the people, this year we specially chose to visit the Imperial City and Qujiang. Fireworks were set off at both places in the pool, which gave the people of Chang'an City who were torn between going to Qujiang Pool to play or watching the fireworks in the Imperial City, a way to get the best of both worlds.
There are still people coming and going around Qujiang Pool, but at dusk, the area around the Royal Inner Garden is blocked, and then on the newly opened grassland of Qujiang Pool, tourists are also prohibited from visiting for some reason. .
This makes some women who are waiting for marriage lose an excellent place to go when they meet their lovers. Originally, it was the most suitable place for people like them to be in love with each other, where they can cuddle up and whisper the love in their hearts.
But apart from there, the entire Qujiang Pool is a lively and noisy scene. On the brightly lit winding bridges, some open spaces on both sides where Jingzhao Mansion once again made an exception and allowed people to enjoy food, set up stalls, and trade have been designated again. come out.
This allows people to not only enjoy the beautiful scenery when visiting Qujiang Pool, but also buy their favorite gadgets and even eat delicious delicacies.
The envoys from various countries were placed on the other side of the main hall of the inner garden, because the main hall had no other space to accommodate the royal family members and others.
What's more, now Li Zhi and Wu Mei, Li Hong does not intend to let them have more contact with envoys from various countries. Who knows whether the old man will casually promise others any benefits when he is happy.
Finally, after Yuan Day, Li Hong had to urgently summon the ministers to the court to reprimand him.
Therefore, the palaces on both sides of the left and right envoys were naturally occupied by envoys from various countries in addition to the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
There is a passage in the middle of the three palaces, which does not prevent them from coming in groups to meet Li Zhi and Wu Mei. Moreover, walking in the corridors made entirely of glass also gives them a new experience and jealousy. .
Glass, which is as expensive as gold in their country, was so wasteful and extravagant when used by the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. An ordinary corridor must use a large area of glass to block wind and rain. Can't other things be used? !
On the water surface of Qujiang Pond, a small boat was sitting on the water surface at this time. I don’t know what was on the water surface. Just looking at their careful and careful movements, I knew that it was obviously not a simple matter.
At this time, Li Zhe was standing on the shore not far away, looking at the small boat on the water from time to time, looking worriedly at the small boat from this end of the embankment, slowly pulling a few rope-like ropes. Things were placed on the water.
The reason why the royal family and others did not choose to spend the Lantern Festival on the water on a cruise ship converted from a five-tooth battleship was because of the fire dragons that were now lowered into the water.
When the Bell and Drum Tower closest to Qujiang Pool rang out the melodious drumbeats, the entire city of Chang'an seemed to suddenly fall into silence.
The drums of Youshi continued to beat, and people listened attentively. It seemed to Li Hong that people behaved the same way when the national anthem was played in the previous life.
As people silently counted the drums of Youshi in their hearts, noisy cheers suddenly erupted from inside and outside the imperial city, the east and west cities, Qujiang Pond and other places.
Even Wu Mei and others who were in the inner garden of Qujiang Pond could hear bursts of lively cheers coming from afar after they were invited to come out and stand not far from the water.
Regarding the tranquility when the drums sounded just now, people felt as if they were performing a ritual, with expectations and pride for the Tang Dynasty in their hearts.
Whether it was the ministers standing on the left side of the royal family or the envoys from various countries standing on the other side, they were all vaguely shocked by the atmosphere just now. They never thought that after the drums sounded just now, people actually Being able to remain silent spontaneously, quietly waiting for the drum beat to end before letting out deafening cheers.
Li Zhi and Wu Mei were also deeply shocked by the situation just now. Even now, their hearts could not calm down for a long time.
They understand very well that this requires very strong cohesion. Without strong strength or belief, it will be difficult to control people's emotions so appropriately with the sound of drums.
It seems that they are just waiting for the fireworks that will come at any time, but there are many things hidden behind them. This is an absolutely good strategy that can be used in the future to stabilize the country and the country!
While people were still immersed in the shock of the silent atmosphere just now, Li Zhe and some Jinwu guards stood in front of everyone, guarding against any accidents when those fire dragons burned on the water, in case it affected them. Behind him were his father, mother, and brother, but he and his brother couldn't bear it and left.
"Father and Queen, you are looking at the castles in the sky of Daming Palace from a distance." Li Lingyue's voice is particularly expected by people at this time, because it was her voice last year that opened up the beautiful scenery like a fairyland on earth for people.
So when people heard Li Lingyue's clear voice speaking to them before the drums had just fallen and the deafening cheers sounded, they all immediately looked to the north of Chang'an City.
The castle in the sky, which was originally brightly lit, had all the lights extinguished at some point. In addition, it was separated by Chang'an City, so people could not see anything.
But just when people were about to turn their heads, they saw the dark sky suddenly shining brightly.
Viewed from a distance, it looks like a meteor, dragging a long tail, slowing down and gliding.
As the downward meteors slowly fell from the dark night sky like tongues of fire, incredible sighs erupted from the crowd again.
And just when people's eyes vaguely felt that it was the castle in the sky in the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, neat lights suddenly lit up in front of the huge glass window in the castle in the sky, and they saw a " The word "big" appears in people's field of vision.
The palace maids and eunuchs in Qujiang Pool, just when people were about to complain that the distant effects were too blurry, handed them telescopes one by one.
Li Zhi and Wu Mei had already raised the pure gold telescopes that Li Lingyue gave them.
However, only Li Lingyue knew about these telescopes. This was the emperor's brother tricking his father and mother. In fact, they were all made of copper plated with gold. As for the gold given by their father and mother to build pure gold telescopes, they had long since been used by them. People have appropriated it.
As the big character appeared, some people couldn't help but read it out. When the big character appeared in front of people's eyes, the 'Tang' on the lower floor of the tower in the sky lit up.
Datang? Li Zhi and Wu Mei blurted out, and so did everyone else. Looking at those two words, how could they not understand the truth!
The appearance of the word "ten thousand" immediately reminded people of what the next word would be, so when the word "sui" lit up, the surrounding areas of Qujiang Pool, especially the tourists closest to the Daming Palace in the imperial city, instantly let out deafening shouts. : "Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
"Long live the Tang Dynasty..."
Like a relay, it first came from the nearest shops in the imperial city, and then was picked up by the nearby shops. Finally, the cry of Long Live the Tang Dynasty, like the rolling thunder in the sky, moved towards Qu. came from Jiang Chi.
Not long after, roaring cheers of "Long Live the Tang Dynasty" rang out outside the inner garden of Qujiang Pond.
"Long live the Tang Dynasty!" Li Zhi held up the telescope and still looked at the four words on the castle in the sky. He murmured, and in his ears were the voices of the ministers congratulating him and Wu Mei: "Long live the Tang Dynasty" '.
Wu Mei was also deeply shocked by everything planned by Li Hong. She also did not expect that Li Hong could actually do such a deed of heaven and man!
Use this method to unite the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty, use this method to intimidate Xiaoxiao, and use this method to convey the prestige and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to envoys from various countries.
But when she put down the telescope and turned around, she heard Li Lingyue whispering to Li Dan: "Hey, the poor students of Chongwen Hall, the poor Imperial College, Hongwen Hall, and those soldiers of the Central Army and Jinwu Guard, I guess My voice is already mute by this time.”
"You know the most, right?" Wu Mei patted Li Lingyue's forehead, which was freezing cold, and scolded her softly.
But when Li Lingyue spoke, Wu Mei instantly understood that all of this was obviously man-made, otherwise how could it be so neat and create such a shocking effect!
Fortunately, when Wu Mei's eyes wandered over the faces of the ministers and royal family members who were full of pride and emotion, including the faces of envoys from various countries who were in a daze, full of envy or shock, she still felt in her heart I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everyone seemed to be immersed in this shocking sight, and no one had the time to figure out the mystery.
