In the morning, the royal ceremonial guards finally arrived at Handan Garden slowly. There were guards in and outside the imperial garden. In addition to the princes and nobles who entered the inner garden to attend the banquet and the court officials welcomed each other, even the new candidates, who were one of the protagonists of the banquet, gathered elsewhere in the imperial garden to be called.

After ascending the throne, Li Tong had a rare opportunity to travel with his family. This time, he took advantage of this festival to bring all his family. As for a few young children who are still in their infancy, they just stay in the home to eat and sleep with peace of mind.

After arriving outside the gate of Handan Garden to receive the greetings of the ministers, Li Tong got off the chariot and rode a horse, and continued to protect the Empress Dowager, Concubine Fang and the Empress and the other concubines drove into the Imperial Garden.

The garden area is surrounded by Qujiang in the south, and to the north, it is nearly a fang area wide. Since Li Tong entered Chang'an, he has not taken time to invest manpower and build it again. Therefore, in addition to some of the inherent buildings and halls, there are still many free places left in the garden. The staff of the inner palace, the guards, and the court officials and family members, although thousands of people entered the garden, the scene did not seem narrow and cramped.

Since there were not many palaces for a short rest, many curtain tents were also set up on the hollowed-out ground in the garden. When he arrived at the imperial tent, Li Tong dismounted first, walked to the edge of the Empress Dowager's chariot, and helped the Empress Dowager down with his own hands. He said apologetically: "Since returning to the capital, he has been frugal, and has caused his grandmother to drink the wind and dust when he goes out, which is really ashamed!"

After returning to the capital, the Empress Dowager lived in seclusion. This was the first time he went out of the Daming Palace. Although his head was full of silver silk, he still looked quite energetic. After entering the garden, he looked much more cheerful and even the wrinkles on the corners of his forehead were stretched out.

Hearing the saint say this, the Empress Dowager smiled and raised her hand to pat Li Tong, who was holding her back and said with a smile: "The scenery is not beautiful, nor is it luxurious, but if someone can appreciate it together, it is the love of the world and will live up to the spring breeze. The emperor has great ambitions and is disdainful to waste people and waste people on trivial entertainment. This is the blessing of the country. What shame can you say? Your grandmother has a long journey, and what kind of glamorous beauty has never seen? Only my destiny and simple behavior can comfort people's old worries!"

A person's situation can really change his personality. When Li Tong heard Wu Zetian's tone of contentment and joy, he couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, in history, his grandmother was a complete secret of power in her life, and she never woke up until she was old. In addition to her persistence in power, her enjoyment in material desires did not weaken with age. Fortunately, the first thing she did was to build a palace, such as the famous Songshan Palace Sanyang Palace, which was built at this age.

Whether Wu Zetian is now submissive or has such thoughts in her heart, Li Tong was quite pleased when he heard this, so he solemnly said to his grandmother: "The advocacy of thrift is not an excuse to neglect her elders. Before, major events were carried out, and there was little leisure to be done inside and outside to supervise and create. This spring, I have been very calm and ordered the establishment of various agencies to investigate the land and prepare materials. It is higher than the eastern mainland and specially builds the Wanshou Palace for my grandmother, so that my grandmother can live and live for a long time."

"No need, no need... You need to do it within your ability, and you don't have to make too extravagant!"

When Wu Zetian heard this, his smile appeared even more cheerful. As for the joy in her heart, it was not just because there was a new palace to live in. After all, as she said herself, she had never enjoyed anything in her life? All the majestic buildings in the eastern capital Luoyang were all caused by her rule.

What she felt even more gratified was the respect and care shown by the emperor to her. Although the sentence "Life only by love" caused her to suffer the most painful fall in her life, even if she regretted her, she would only torture herself.

Although the emperor had a contrary opinion before he gained power, he was able to fulfill his preface when he was in power. If he was a little relaxed, he would be kind to his relatives. He would not even modify his living room and plan to build a palace for his grandmother, which also comforted Wu Zetian. As for the beauty of the palace construction, it was second.

Li Tong first sent the Empress Dowager into the imperial tent, and then the concubine, the queen and others also entered one after another. After a short rest here, Li Tong got up and headed south to the imperial tent, leaving this imperial tent for the outsiders to visit and greet.

The most magnificent in Handan Garden is the Water Palace located near Qujiangchi. This palace is built by the water, half of which extend into the water. There are plank roads connected between the pavilions. There is a kind of free and easy walking through the waves.

When Li Tong came here, his elder brother Li Guangshun, who arrived first, had already arranged everything. In addition to the new decoration of the palace itself, a high observation deck was also created between the water pavilions. When the emperor took the stage, he could see the lively scene of the people's entertainment on the south.

When the emperor arrived, the musicians of Yunshao Mansion, who had already been well arranged here, immediately began to ring bells and drums and play music to welcome him. After hearing the ritual music, various welcome sounds sounded everywhere inside and outside the imperial garden. Although the sound was chaotic, it merged into a torrent of sound, which made the willow branches beside the embankment tremble, and the birds dared not lie on the branches.

Amid the sound of this mountain, Li Tongkuo walked up to the hall. At the same time, the princes, nobles, court officials and officials also entered one after another, and then kowtowed and congratulated the hall and presented gifts.

At the grand ceremony before the festival, the ministers received gifts, and the king and his ministers also paid attention to the exchange of etiquette. Therefore, today we should not come empty-handed when we celebrate the festival today. However, compared with the value of gifts given by the court, the gifts presented by the ministers were a bit flashy, just a few bunches of orchids and charcuteries. Soon, Li Tong was surrounded by various herbs.

Although the smell of these vanilla alone smells fragrant and elegant, the smell becomes a bit pungent after so many of them gathered together. Li Tong sneezes several times and seriously suspected that these vanillas might have been picked by the nearby Qushui River.

When he covered his nose and sneezed, the old minister Wang Heshan came forward to offer congratulations and gifts. After hearing the sound of sneezing in full swing, Wang Heshan smiled, bowed and danced, and sang happily: "Fanglan is evil, and the spirit is strong. I am grateful to the saint, and I will be brave and healthy, and enjoy this country forever!"

Li Tong hadn't finished complaining about the old man's plays yet, and was thinking about whether to bury him in this pile of herbs to get rid of the disease. Other officials also heard the sound and danced to the dance: "He Sheng, I will always enjoy this country!"

Seeing that everyone was so supportive, Li Tong simply stood up from the table, jumped out of the pile of herbs, danced a tap dance in the hall with his ministers, and said with a smile: "God gives you blessings, share with you. The Yuansi cultivates the sacred spirit, and the auspicious energy is a leisurely and leisurely..."

Such dance steps and such lyrics are really shameful, but if you don’t do this, you will not seem sociable enough. So Li Tong just forced himself to follow the shyness in his heart and danced continuously with Wang Jishan, who was always fond of acting.

Seeing that the saint was in high spirits and was full of affection, although Wang Jishan had already seen sweat on his forehead, he could only continue to jump down. In the end, the old legs could not be lifted, and could only rub against the carpet. Li Tong then stopped with satisfaction and signaled the official to help Wang Jishan back to the class seat to sit down, and he also returned to sit down with great pride.

Look at your little thing, you dare to play and fight with me. You don’t know how awesome your head is, and you won’t be exhausted!

After the ministers came to congratulate, the time came to noon. A group of old people was not as happy as the new people, so Li Tong also raised his hand to summon the new people who had been waiting for a long time.

However, when the servants entered the front, Li Tong found that the people in Jiying Pavilion looked a little uncomfortable, and they looked around in the mat of the hall, looking around, looking so irritable that they were not calm, as if they were young people who had never seen the world.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong was naturally a little unhappy. Jiyingguan was his confidant team. He also planned to ask these guys to give the new people a sample, so that he could continue to select reserve forces from these new people in the future. But now that his demeanor is not well-educated, he can't feel any respect at first sight. It's really a bit inappropriate.

Today is not a formal ceremony, and there is no need to pay too much attention to the ceremony. So Li Tong raised his hand and pointed to Pei Guangting and others in the hall, signaling them to come in and scold them.

Pei Guangting and others were eager to be seen. When the ministers were dancing, they were invisible behind the pillars and did not dare to go forward. However, they did not expect that they were noticed by the saint. They couldn't help but sigh for a moment, so they shrank their heads and planned to vaguely pass. After looking at the gaze, they saw the saint making a move. They could only hurry up and move in, bypass the screen of the main hall, approach the imperial mat from the side, and bowed down to the front and said respectfully: "What order does the saint have?"

"You guys... look up and don't move, what's going on?"

Li Tong was about to scold him, but found that there was a black green corner of Pei Guangting's eyes. Although there were a few bright red pomegranate flowers on his head between his hair, they could not hide it. So he frowned and asked in a low voice. He was already vaguely wondering whether these guys were beaten up by their parents because of their young and high-ranking girl who played with Qu Jiangpan.

"No, nothing is wrong..."

Pei Guangting was still waiting to get out of the way, and then he heard the saint snorting coldly, and then hesitated: "There are a group of Qiu Ba in Yingyuan, relying on his courage to insult people. Several members of the library were experienced by our old boxing, but Gong Pingyang could not stop him even when he arrived..."

"There is such a thing? Let's tell you the truth!"

After hearing this, Li Tong frowned and shouted coldly. Until Pei Guangting intermittently told the whole story, he couldn't help but scold him: "It should! Where is Yaoqing?"

"Xiao and others are trying to trap Yaoqing, saying that he has a job in the organization and has been promoted by the same department. The ministers and other officials are in the sacrificial position and dare not be neglected, so they can only be punished after the banquet..."

When Li Tong heard Pei Yaoqing being locked up with Xiao Song and others, he was happy again. After a while, he said again: "Please go to the hospital to inform me, try not to distort the situation." The implication is that you don't slap in the face, and teach you any other casual lessons.
