Chapter 394 Not Simple
The wedding is arranged by the etiquette department, let alone he can't intervene, even if he can intervene, the process of the wedding is not something he can change.
Since he couldn't do anything about the wedding steps, Lin Xuan could only think of other ways.
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he thought of something - fireworks and firecrackers.
The earliest fireworks and firecrackers were invented during the Zhenguan period. Lin Xuan didn't know the exact year, but he hadn't seen it now anyway.
There is also a myth about firecrackers: Wei Zheng is very powerful, "the day governs the world, and the night governs the underworld."Once, a man named Jinghe Dragon King, the general manager of the Eight Rivers, violated the rules of heaven and was sentenced to death.The Jade Emperor ordered Wei Zheng to execute the beheading.It was the middle of the night in the hot summer, and after Wei Zheng fell asleep, he suddenly drenched in sweat. It turned out that he was sweating from exhaustion while beheading the sinful dragon who had violated the rules of heaven.At this moment, Li Shimin slapped Wei Zheng three times with his fan.With such a fan, the wind helped Wei Zheng, and finally helped him slay the sin dragon.
Therefore, the ghost of the sinful dragon blamed Li Shimin, and often committed crimes, disturbing Li Shimin restless and restless at night.The imperial court had to send generals Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong to guard Li Shimin's bedroom, so that nothing happened.However, 365 nights a year, every night to guard, it is really hard for Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong.
When he was in trouble, a man named Li Tian came up with a way: put some nitrate in a small bamboo tube, ignite it and make a loud noise, and the mountain called Guming, scaring away all the ghosts and evil spirits.In this way, the ghosts and evil spirits were scared away, but the loud firecrackers still prevented Li Shimin from sleeping well.Later, someone figured out a way to paste the portraits of the generals Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong on the door of Li Shimin's bedroom, to suppress ghosts and evil spirits.Therefore, Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong later became door gods.In addition to guarding Li Shimin's bedroom with firecrackers, Li Tian also used firecrackers to drive away haze and miasma.Because the Tang Dynasty had frequent battles at that time, epidemics were prevalent, and the poor suffered.After Li Tian used this method, it really worked.Therefore, firecrackers were widely used to ward off evil spirits and miasma later.
This is the earliest firecrackers, and fireworks were invented by Li Tian's grandson on the basis of firecrackers.
After the invention of fireworks and firecrackers, fireworks and firecrackers will be set off in traditional festivals, wedding celebrations, various celebrations, and temple fairs.
Lin Xuan believed that the wedding between him and Li Lizhi would be unforgettable and passed down through the ages after he made the fireworks.
It is not difficult to make fireworks and firecrackers. Colorful fireworks are nothing more than adding various metal powders inside, which is not difficult for him.
For the next period of time, Lin Xuan made fireworks at home every day, and asked someone to make a dressing table.
He promised Cheng Chumo and the others, if he didn't do it, they probably would have stayed at his house.
Time passed unknowingly like this, and it was time for the members of the horse club organized by Li Tai.
Under the guard of Zhang Dayong and Cao Hu, Lin Xuan brought his own soldiers to the racetrack in the western suburbs of Chang'an.
When Lin Xuan came to the gate of the racecourse, Cheng Chumo and others were already waiting for him.
"Why don't you go in?" Lin Xuan dismounted and asked.
Cheng Chumo said: "Prince Wei Wang and the others haven't arrived yet, so it's pointless to go in. We'll just wait for you here."
"Zi Chu, where's your Lion Cong?" Yuchi Baolin asked strangely when he saw that Lin Xuan was not riding a Lion Cong.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "If you ride a lion, you will definitely be the first. What's the point?"
Li Tai's plan to do something to Li Chengqian was just his guess, he could only find an excuse.
Cheng Chumo and the others looked at Lin Xuan speechlessly. There was indeed nothing wrong with what Lin Xuan said, but they felt that Lin Xuan was showing off.
"Let's go in first, it's not a problem to stand here all the time." Qin Huaidao said.
Several people entered the racecourse, handed over the horses to the attendants, came to the stands, and found a place to sit down.
"Are you going to end soon?" Lin Xuan asked.
Cheng Chumo smiled: "If you come riding a lion, we don't plan to participate, but now, we will definitely end and show our talents."
"That's right, although the horse you ride is good, our horses are not bad either, so we must compete." Yuchi Baolin echoed.
They all knew how powerful Lion Cong was, and it could be called the most powerful horse in Datang. If Lin Xuan rode Lion Cong to participate in the competition, they would naturally not make fun of themselves.
"The rewards for this horse race are not small. What does King Wei think about organizing such a horse race?" Li Deju said with some doubts.
Naturally, there are rewards in the competition. For this horse meeting, Li Tai also spent all his money and took out a lot of treasures.
Just as Lin Xuan was about to say something, he suddenly noticed a venomous look. Following the look, he saw Chai Zhewei looking at him venomously.
Lin Xuan didn't care about Chai Zhewei's gaze. Chai Lingwu was still grounded at home, so the Chai family naturally hated them.
Cheng Chumo and the others noticed Lin Xuan's strangeness, and looked in the direction Lin Xuan was looking at.
"The grandson of Chai Zhewei looked at us with malicious intent. Be careful for a while, who knows what they will do." Yuchi Baolin said.
Chai Lingwu almost made him crippled, so he naturally didn't like the Chai family.
Cheng Chumo said in a low voice: "Keep your voice down, he is His Majesty's nephew, if you scold his grandson, it will be a big trouble if others hear it."
"Uh." Yuchi Baolin shook his head in embarrassment.
Chai Zhewei didn't know what Yuchi Baolin and the others were going to say, so he gave them a bitter look and then looked away.
"His Royal Highness Prince, His Royal Highness King Wei, and His Royal Highness King Shu are here."
Just then, Li Chengqian and the others arrived.
"I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu." Everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Li Chengqian took the lead, and Li Taihe made a young man half a body behind and came to the main stand.
Lin Xuan looked curiously at the young man he had never seen before. This should be Li Ke, King of Shu.
Li Ke is only one year older than Li Chengqian, but he looks very mature.
There is an unspeakable nobility about him.
When Li Chengqian was born, although Li Yuan had established the Tang Dynasty, the world had not yet settled down.
As the daughter of Yang Guang, Concubine Yang has received a good education since she was a child, and she is very attentive to Li Ke's education.
Empress Changsun was kicked out of the house by her eldest brother since she was a child, and her eldest grandson Wuji was taken in by her uncle.
Li Chengqian also began to learn royal etiquette after Li Shimin ascended the throne.
Usually Li Chengqian is not used to being impeccable in bearing and etiquette, but standing with Li Ke, you can see the difference.
The demeanor shown on Li Ke seems to be innate, but there is a trace of intentional demeanor on Li Chengqian.
Lin Xuanfa's Li Ke's eyebrows are very similar to Li Shimin's, and the shape of his face is not much different from Li Shimin's. The whole person's appearance is [-] to [-]% similar to Li Shimin's.
Li Ke raised his hands and feet, and there was a faint shadow of Li Shimin. No wonder Li Shimin would say "courageously like me".
Lin Xuan felt that Li Ke was very unusual. The resemblance between father and son was normal, but even the behavior was similar, so there was a problem.
It is very likely that Li Ke is deliberately imitating Li Shimin.
Li Chengqian waved his hands and said, "Everyone, sit down."
"Qingque, you organized it this time, so I won't overwhelm you alone." Li Chengqian sat down after finishing speaking.
