Chapter 238 Ming Zhao
?The flowers bloom and fall for another season, and summer is coming in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the entire history of the Tang Dynasty, the first day of April of the seventh year of Wude was considered an extremely important day.
On that day, the court further revised and formally promulgated the "Lease and Ordinary Regulation Law" established by the second year of Wude. At the same time, it also immigrated the world and promulgated the "Wude Law". The new law added 53 more articles than the "Kaihuang Law" used by the former Sui Dynasty before the Tang Dynasty.
After another tenth, the court introduced a new system of enthronement and fief system based on the "Wudelu" and the "Lease and Independence Law".
Immediately the next day, Emperor Li Yuan issued an imperial edict, which was named Li Mingzhen, a master of Zong Shengguan Cihang as "Princess Mingzhao", and according to the standard treatment of the princess of the dynasty of "three thousand households, and three hundred households were actually granted "Huayin County" as Li Mingzhen as "Tang Muyi" to show his favor.
Although most royal court officials had long known that the emperor's adopted daughter Li Mingzhen would be awarded the title of Princess, once this news came out, it still caused a huge sensation in the world.
The most intuitive impact it has caused is that the Heng Street in front of Mingyuan, Pingkangfang has become the most congested place in Chang'an City.
Because it is widely rumored that Princess Mingzhao is unparalleled in the world and has the appearance of an immortal. Every day, a large number of scholars and common people come to visit each other, often surrounding Mingyuan, just to see her charm.
Although Li Mingzhen still adhered to a low-key, simplicity and simplicity after being named Princess, the officials of Wannian County soon could not resist the enthusiasm of the people.
In order to alleviate this situation, Li Qianyou, who was the magistrate of Wannian County at that time, considered that there were two princesses living in Pingkangfang, so he submitted a report to the court to ask for the "Fudao" leading to Tai Chi Palace on Pingkangfang for the princess to travel.
As the name suggests, this so-called "re-road" is actually a kind of road that is parallel to the streets and can pass at the same time.
Because its elevated roof is mid-air, with a roof above and walls on both sides, it is almost completely closed, and its appearance is quite similar to a pavilion, so it is often called "gedao" by literati and scholars.
In this era, countries around the world that have the ability to build such three-dimensional transportation facilities have no other family except the Tang Dynasty in the East.
The main reason for building pavilions in the Sui and Tang dynasties actually originated from the feudal ritual system with distinct pride and inferiority.
Because, in places with pavilions, the superiors and the common people can go their separate ways without disturbing each other, and no longer have to clear the streets and close the roads with great fanfare.
After reading Li Qianyou's memorial, Li Yuan waved his pen and immediately agreed. After the relevant plan formulated by the Secretariat Province passed the review of the Ministry of Education, Li Yuan loved his daughter for a while and ordered people to pay more money, urging the Ministry of Works to rush to work day and night.
Although the transportation facilities in Chang'an City will not be fully developed until the Kaiyuan prosperous period a hundred years later, thanks to the foundation laid by the previous dynasty, there is already a pavilion connecting the east and west streets north of Pingkangfang, which is less than 150 steps away from the main entrance of the Jiujiang Princess Mansion. Therefore, it took only half a month for the craftsmen and servants to successfully complete this small project.
The second day of the building of the pavilion between Pingkangfang and Dongshi was the Dragon Boat Festival. Early in the morning, the emperor sent envoys to welcome Princess Mingzhao and Princess Jiujiang to attend the palace banquet, and set up an altar in the Taiji Hall, asking them to hold fasting and worship, praying for the Tang Dynasty to be good weather and peace and prosperity.
Li Yao and Princess Jiujiang obeyed the emperor's orders, sat on the phoenix chariot that came with the eunuchs of the edict, turned left from the main entrance of the street facing the Jiujiang Princess's Mansion, and drove into the entrance of the newly built pavilion.
When Li Yao came to the inside of the pavilion for the first time, he felt quite curious. He couldn't help but lift the curtain of the chariot and looked around along the way.
This pavilion is about 20% wide as the street below, which is just enough to allow the Emperor's Royal Driving and the ceremonial guard to pass through. Although the construction period is short, it is related to the decentness of the Tian family and is not careless at all. There are a row of exquisitely carved flower windows on both sides. Through the window edges, you can enjoy the street view outside.
Li Yao was having a lot of fun watching. He accidentally caught a familiar figure on the street. He hurriedly called the phoenix chariot and looked down. He saw that this man was of medium height, wearing a round neck robe of true colors, holding a stool in his hand, and his skinny appearance, and the pair of small mung bean eyes. He was vaguely the first person Li Yao met in this world - Yuan Er!
Li Yao approached the window of the pavilion and was about to observe it carefully, when he saw Yuan Er walking quickly in the direction of Mingyuan, he suddenly tripped and fell down on the edge of the street. He couldn't help laughing, but he sighed in his heart: "Yuan Er has free time to join in the fun in front of my house. It seems that he will not be doing too badly."
Princess Jiujiang couldn't help but wonder: "Why did Sister Mingzhen laugh?"
While sitting back to the phoenix chariot, Li Yao explained with a smile: "It's nothing, I just met a funny person."
...
...
Li Yao and Princess Jiujiang came to Tai Chi Palace, and each took a shower and changed into the robes and crowns prepared in the palace. Then they went to the temple in front of Tai Chi Hall. With the accompaniment of the Dharma song, they waved the magic sword, stepped on the gang and fought, played the calligraphy talisman with solemn expressions and solemn movements.
In fact, Li Yao is a serious atheist. Even if she travels through time as a soul, she doesn't think there will be gods in this world.
However, what Li Yao knew more clearly was that since the history of China, no emperor of a feudal dynasty would not ignore prayers and sacrificial activities.
With Li Yao's status and status today, there must be no mistakes in performing such a performance of great significance to the country, so she has long been familiar with all Taoist rituals.
When the entire fasting ceremony ended, Li Yao and Princess Jiujiang both received a set of palace outfits with their cuffs embroidered with their names as princesses, as well as accessories that matched them.
The two women thanked each other for a few weeks, and then they heard Li Yuan smiled brightly: "Mingzhao, Jiujiang, this is the latest summer clothes this year. You can try to wear them for me now!"
After fulfilling the promise, Li Yao couldn't help but look at the clothes held by the palace maid beside him, and the corners of his lips were twitching.
As a poet said: "The fine kala contains soft wind, fragrant kala is filled with light snow, and the sky is wet, and the summer comes to clear."
This summer clothes are made of fine kudzu and saro, and she has never worn such a thin and transparent dress since she traveled through time.
However, the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and Li Yao had to scream in his heart. Under the fiddling of the palace maids, he could not help but change into a full outfit.
Perhaps it was because Li Yao's image of being plain and conservative in the past was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When she appeared in the sight of everyone again as a real princess, she actually caused a breath of breath.
But Li Yao was wearing a gorgeous purple silk skirt, plain brocade veil, silver mud silhouette with his waist, a shining silver clay, a bright crown with plum blossoms on his forehead, a bright and green verdant on his forehead, his eyes were clear, his eyebrows were clear, and a smile was hung on the corner of his lips. Although he did not have a delicate and charming look, he could not hide his charming posture. Most of the men present could not take their eyes away, as if they had completely forgotten that there was a little princess with similar dress behind her.
