The inauguration ceremony of the entire Tianshu is cumbersome and lengthy, and everyone who participates in this celebration has a different feeling in their hearts.
For those busy eunuchs and palace maids, what they looked forward to most was the moment when the ceremony ended.
For the countless people of Luoyang who gathered, they looked forward to the spectacular spectacle of countless copper coins pouring down from the city.
The scholars who are familiar with the Zhou rites have been pouting, picking which of the celebration ceremonies is not in line with the ancient rites and where the Zhou system is not.
Some royal relatives will only be interested when they are dedicated to the inner court such as Rumei.
What the empress cares about most is whether she is solemn and meticulous when she climbs the Iron Mountain and reads the edict of amnesty to the world.
Xue Huaiyi has been thinking about how to organize a grand festival, as long as he can invite the empress to come, with his strong physique, he will definitely be able to regain the empress's favor.
Yang Fan was looking up at this Optimus Pillar that had never existed in the past and probably will not exist again in the future.
One hundred and five feet high, ten feet in diameter, eight sides, five feet in diameter, the base is a mountain of iron cast in one piece, the circumference of the iron mountain is one hundred and seventy feet, two feet high, the dragon and the unicorn cast in brass soar over it, this is such a magnificent building, I am afraid that the whole world will not find a giant pillar made of the same steel Behind it, there is the splendid "Ming Hall", "after the Ming Hall", there is the "Heaven" of the high and heavenly Qi, and in the "Heaven", there is a huge wooden Buddha that is unparalleled in the world.
But when it comes to visual impulse, none of them can compare to this giant pillar of clouds.
Such a huge pillar, if it is left for thousands of years, in the eyes of future generations, it must be a precious cultural relic, and future generations will be infinitely proud of it, and will use countless gorgeous chapters to praise the greatness of the ancestors.
However, they would not have remembered how many ancestral tears had been left in this Optimus Pillar.
It took two full years of total steel production in Datang, because it was necessary to set aside a part of the steel to meet the needs of the army, so countless people even used hoes and kitchen knives for cutting vegetables at home were ruthlessly confiscated by the government and integrated into this gorgeous giant pillar.
Yang Fan was a little distracted, and it wasn't until a tsunami-like roar from the mountains reached his ears that he woke him up.
Yang Fan raised his head and saw a handful of copper coins being raised from the city, reflecting a golden light like dragon scales in the sun, and the people cheered and rushed to the city like a tide to pick up the newly minted copper coins.
Wu Zetian laughed loudly and announced loudly: "The curfew will be lifted tonight, and the people of the whole city will have fun with me."
The grand celebration is not over yet, this is just the beginning The emperor opened a curfew, and today's Luoyang City is destined to be a sleepless night.
The civil and military officials were dispersed, and the officials above the third rank and the emperor's relatives were walking to the palace, and the emperor set up a royal banquet to entertain them.
Yang Fan and the others were almost scattered before they found their groom.
His people were all skilled fighters sent from the "Succession Hall" to protect his safety, and these people were not familiar with the buildings in the palace city, nor did they know much about the procedures of court etiquette, so they were dispersed by the crowd.
Yang Fan got on the horse, because he saw that the Tianjin bridgehead in the distance was still crowded, and the carriages and horses of many officials and magnates were still crowded there, so he was not in a hurry, just shook the horsewhip lightly and walked slowly.
Before he knew it, he didn't know how far he could go, and he saw a few slaves in front of him escorting a light car, walking slower than him.
Although the car did not have an official flag, but it was very familiar with its standard appearance, Yang Fan took a closer look, and it was indeed Princess Taiping's carriage.
Princess Taiping leaned on the window with one hand, poked her head out slightly, and smiled at him.
Seeing that Yang Fan had already seen her, Princess Taiping shook her head slightly in the car, lowered the curtains, and took back the cardamom-coated leaflet.
Yang Fan turned his head to see that there were few cars and horses left and right, so he coughed lightly, jumped off the war horse, walked quickly to the side of the car, and got into the car in a flash, his movements were extremely skillful.
Although his men had only been following the suzerain for a short time, they were already familiar with the strange behavior of the suzerain when he saw Princess Taiping, and one of the knights bent down and picked up the reins of the suzerain's horse without surprise, and led the mount to his side.
Yang Fan got into the car, sat next to Princess Taiping, and began to teach earnestly: "What do you have to ask your subordinates to secretly pass on the news, this kind of appearance will inevitably fall into the eyes of people with hearts, especially in this palace city." ” "It's okay, everyone should be careful, but I don't need it, as long as I'm with you, no one will think of serious things, this is the unique ability of this palace."
Princess Taiping said triumphantly, coquettishly hugging one of his arms, ignoring his stinky face.
Yang Fan couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to say: "Things are going according to plan, you just have to wait for the news, now look for me, is there anything else?"
Princess Taiping glanced at him and said, "When I look for you, can I only talk about serious things?"
Yang Fan said helplessly: "Okay, then Her Royal Highness the princess is looking for me, is there anything inconsequential?"
As soon as the words came out, he couldn't help laughing.
Princess Taiping snorted: "I won't tell you now" She kicked the pedal, and the carriage sped forward.
Through the bamboo curtain, Yang Fan saw that the car drove past the Tianjin bridgehead, and did not cross the bridge with the brigade of officials and gentry, but drove sideways towards the street in front of Chengfufang, and couldn't help but wonder: "Where are you going?"
Princess Taiping gently pressed her cheek to his broad shoulder, sniffed his breath contentedly, and then said: "The curfew is lifted today, and the people of Los Angeles will revel all night."
Yang Fan was a little apprehensive: "Ah, you want me to accompany you" He turned his head and was stunned to find that Taiping, who was still smiling and smiling, was now snuggling weakly on his shoulder, and two lines of tears rose up on his cheeks.
"Taiping, you" Princess Taiping closed her eyes lightly and said faintly: "You said yourself, since that year's Qixi Festival, have you been with me for a day?"
Yang Fan was silent, but Princess Taiping still closed her eyes, and tears fell down her clothes.
Yang Fan sighed softly, opened his arms, hugged her softly, and the car continued to move forward, only the sound of wheels rolling on the road in the carriage.
After a long time, Yang Fan let go of her, gently wiped the tears from her cheeks, lifted the corner of the curtain, and shouted to the guards outside: "Tell the family, I won't go back tonight" One of the four guards accompanying the car immediately reined in his mount, bowed his head to him, and turned his horse away.
Yang Fan lowered the curtains, and as soon as he turned around, Princess Taiping cheered, threw herself into his arms, and kissed him with joy and affection.
The car drove through Chengfufang, and when it was almost to Yujifang, it turned right and drove onto the Xinshi Bridge.
In the carriage, the voices of two people talking came out like nothing.
"You touch it, it doesn't look like it."

"Hey, it's really like, what are you stuffing?"
"How can you scare people by stuffing things.
I put something on my stomach first, and then wrapped it with white cloth layer by layer, like fortunately, the weather is not hot now, otherwise, it would be really dead."
"You liar, you really have a hand" "What's the matter, did I lie to you?"
"Let me think" "Hmph" In the sound of the two people's bickering, the car shuttled like a fish in the market, and finally drove out of Jianchun Gate.
The bumps in the road made Yang Fan feel as if he was out of the city, he opened the curtain and looked out, the car was really out of the city, and couldn't help but ask Taiping: "Where are we going?"
Princess Taiping smiled but did not answer, lifted the sedan curtain and walked out, said a few words to the coachman, and the coachman flipped to the ground with a heel, chased Yang Fan's horse and ran two steps, and jumped up with a saddle.
Princess Taiping sat in the coachman's seat, grabbed the whip, shook a crisp whip in the air, and shouted majestically: "Drive" At this time, Taiping, just like when she was fifteen years old, appeared in front of the emperor and queen for the first time in men's clothes, and generously proposed to the two highest rulers of the empire that she wanted a concubine, some playful, some sassy, and some manly.
Yang Fan smiled and shook his head, and simply lay down on the spacious couch.
The three guards of the "Succession Hall" rode their horses to follow, secretly shocked in their hearts.
They knew about the affair between their suzerain and Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, but they never thought that their suzerain could be majestic enough to let Her Royal Highness the princess give him a car, this suzerain compared to their predecessor, it was really majestic Many carriages drove all the way, Yang Fan, who had been lying on the couch for a long time but had no sleep, had already sat up, rolled up the curtains and looked out, the scenery changed all the way, and gradually seemed familiar, Yang Fan thought for a while, and finally suddenly realized, this is Jingu Garden, In late autumn, Xu Houde of Jingu Garden was waiting at the gate of "Zize Garden" early in the morning.
Since he was "assigned" to Zizeyuan to be a steward, he has been a little blessed after a few months of hard work, and he has brought his wife and children here.
In this manor, he lived a quiet day and lived like a hermit.
When he likes to be lively, he will take his family to the city for a walk, anyway, the road is not far.
This autumn there was a bumper harvest in the orchard of the manor, and the fruits were picked and sold to the city, and some money was distributed to his men, and the rest of the money naturally fell into his pocket, which was more generous than the salary he had paid when he used to drive for His Highness.
Today I heard that His Royal Highness is going to "Zize Garden" to play, Xu Houde began to open up early in the morning, he purchased rich and exquisite dishes, the princess's small building was cleaned up and renewed, and the road from the gate to the princess's small building was swept spotlessly, and then he stood at the door until now.
In the distance, more than a dozen knights escorted the princess's carriage and drove quickly, Xu Houde was overjoyed, and hurriedly led a few of his subordinates to meet him, seeing that the carriage arrived in front of him, Xu Houde was just about to bow down and salute, and suddenly opened his mouth in shock: Her Royal Highness the princess was actually driving in person Xu Houde's face was full of surprise, and before he could think about how to speak, the carriage had already passed by him like a gust of wind, leaving only Princess Taiping with a happy word: "Don't follow" Xu Houde looked up blankly, only to see the back of the carriage disappearing at the end of the tree.
Almost at the same time, Lai Junchen returned to Luoyang City in the dust.
Three long-distance carriages entered from Dingmen, and Lai Junchen sat in the first car, with a high curtain.
As soon as the car drove onto Dingding Long Street, Lai Junchen couldn't help but rush out of the carriage, stood at the front of the car and laughed loudly: "I'm coming to Junchen again."
