In the Daming Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were busy early in the morning.

Today is the 24th anniversary of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the first time that the founding day has been established, and a military parade has been specially arranged.

Whether it is Li Shimin or Empress Changsun, there are a number of people in the palace, all of whom will participate in today's founding day celebration and watch the military parade on the tower of the Suzaku Gate.

"Brother Jiu, do you think I'm not pretty in this dress?"

The son got dressed and went to find Li Zhi.

She is ten years old this year, and she already has her own judgment on good and evil, beauty and ugliness.

When she was going to participate in such a major ceremony, she naturally wanted to dress beautifully.

Today, all the people in Chang'an City who can get on the stage will watch the military parade at the Suzaku Gate.

In a way, today is also a time for everyone to be in a good mood.

"Son, you are beautiful, and you are beautiful in everything you wear."

Li Zhi replied perfunctorily without looking at it.

"Brother Jiu, you raise your head! If you do this again, I will tell my second brother not to leave the palace with me in the future, and Aya will arrange for the master to teach you. ”

The son felt that he had worked hard to dress up all morning, but he did not hear the praise that made him comfortable, and he was very unhappy.

"Your clothes are improved from the latest style of the clothing shop of Chu Wangfu, and the silk used is the best, with your clothes rack, it is naturally gorgeous."

Li Zhidang didn't hear anything, and circled around his son twice in a serious way before expressing his opinion.

As he grew older, Li Shimin's requirements for Li Zhi gradually became higher.

Like before, when I went out of the palace every day to go to the palace of the Chu King's Mansion, I basically didn't have to think about it.

Although the teacher assigned to Li Zhi is not as perverted as Li Chengqian's, it is not much better.

This made Li Zhi depressed in his heart.

So for the opportunity to leave the palace only a few times a month, he cherishes it very much.

"Count you as acquaintances, let's go, let's go to Suzaku Gate first. I heard that the parade began walking on Suzaku Street at 7 a.m. We took a new type of telescope and stood on the castle tower above the Suzaku Gate, and maybe we could see the scene of the parade troops slowly walking towards us. I've heard that this military parade was held according to the idea of the second brother, and it must be very exciting. ”

The son has extraordinary confidence in Li Kuan.

Of course, these confidences are also based on Li Kuan's brilliant achievements in the past.

"Huh? You're a good idea, I was still thinking of stepping on the passage of time, because there is nothing to do if it passes early, and it is better to stay in the palace while standing there and watching the group of people around me chatting boringly. But if you can look at the parade through a telescope, it's different. ”

After Li Zhi heard this, he immediately quickly dressed under the service of the palace maid, and then ate some breakfast casually, and left the palace with his son-in-law first.

……

"Stand in your place and don't move around. Now that the Suzaku Gate is surrounded by Jin Wuwei and Qianniu Wei, don't have any misunderstandings, and delay the performance when the time comes. ”

Zixia is going to take the stage today to play the march with a military band.

After a month of rehearsals, Zixia had a deeper understanding of the importance of this piece.

Especially at the Tang Royal Military Academy, when the 10,000 troops were rehearsed accompanied by the march, she still vividly remembered the scene that made people's blood boil.

"Miss Zixia, someone from the Hundred Horsemen Division will come over in a while to inform Your Majesty when he will come out, and then we will immediately start playing when we hear the instructions. His Majesty had never heard this march before, but this was a surprise prepared by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

Liu Jie was arranged by Xu Jingzong to come over today to help the military band assist in various communication matters.

"Liu Langjun, don't worry, we are already very familiar with this song. And each role in our band is configured according to double the staff, even if a few people are nervous, it will not affect the overall effect. ”

At this time, although Zixia was also nervous in her heart, she showed a kind of self-confidence.

She was actually very excited to be able to participate in such a grand occasion.

Liu Jie: "Well, it's already past eight o'clock, there are already a lot of people in the stands, and soon Your Majesty and the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government will also ascend to the Suzaku Gate, you can relax a little, and it will be the hardest time to wait." ”

……

"Jiujo-kun, this military parade in the Tang Dynasty seems to be on a large scale."

In the stands in front of Suzakumon, the envoys of various feudal states, such as Hideki Konoe and Nobuichi Kujo, were already waiting in the stands.

As a good opportunity to show the military might of the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites naturally invited all the foreign envoys in Beijing.

Of course, even if they are not invited, such a good opportunity to understand the military power of the Tang Dynasty, these people will think of ways to watch.

"Today is the founding day of the Tang Dynasty, the first time to set up a celebration of the founding of the country, and the first time to hold a military parade, the Tang Dynasty naturally attaches great importance to it. When you didn't look at it, there were already countless people on both sides of Suzaku Street ready to watch? ”

Feeling the solemnity in front of Suzaku's door, Kujo Shinichi was even more convinced to hold the elephant-thick thigh of Datang.

The longer he stayed in Chang'an Castle, the more he didn't want to go back to Nara.

Sometimes, he felt that the air in Chang'an City was fresher, and the moon was rounder than that of the Wa Kingdom.

"I don't know if these troops have been trained in the Tang Royal Military Academy for a month, and they will show everyone something different, I am looking forward to today's parade more and more."

During this time, although Hideki Konoe inquired many times, he almost didn't hear anything about the information in the Tang Royal Military Academy.

"Looks like they're already on their way this way."

Kujo Shinichi squinted, and vaguely saw a black team coming towards Suzaku Gate in the distance on Suzaku Street.

"If only we had a pair of binoculars!"

With the increase in the production of telescopes, all the generals of Datang have a telescope.

Even some key commanders can get a telescope.

However, as a military item, the telescope is still not for sale.

Each telescope has its own number, and there are people in the glass workshop of the Chu Wangfu who specifically record whose hands each telescope is.

The Datang Army has carried out strict management of the telescope, and regularly confirms the maintenance status and whether it is lost.

So although Hideki Konoe had heard of such a telescope, he had never had the opportunity to own one.

I have to say that this is something that he regrets a lot.

Especially near the lookout, there are already some Tang people holding binoculars and looking into the distance with relish.

Hideki Konoe's heart itched even more.

"Unless you join the Tang Dynasty and become a Tang person, like those Turks like Qibi He Li. Otherwise, you won't have the chance to own a telescope. I heard that the people of Datang call the telescope 'clairvoyance', as long as they hold the telescope, ordinary people can see the situation clearly from a few hundred meters away;

Even some good telescopes can see the situation very clearly from a few miles away. Think about it, on the battlefield, if the scouts are equipped with such clairvoyance, then what secrets does the other side have? ”

Kujo Shin's knowledge of a bunch of binoculars is much deeper than that of Hideki Konoe.

Even when he returned to China for the first time, he vaguely knew that there was a special artifact in the hands of the lookout of the fishing industry in the East China Sea.

"There are not 1,000 but 800 people in Chang'an City, so I don't believe that we can't get one after spending a lot of money."

Hideki Konoe has obviously not been beaten by reality, thinking that all the Tang people are the same as the Japanese people, and they will do anything for gold and silver.

……

"Brother Jiu, look! Isn't it Uncle Qin who is riding the big white horse at the head? ”

In the Suzaku Gate Tower, the son held a pair of binoculars and excitedly pulled Li Zhi to look at it together.

"Uncle Qin is the governor of the Tang Royal Military Academy, and it is normal for him to lead the troops under review."

Li Zhi picked up the telescope as he spoke.

After a simple adjustment of the focal length, a clear scene appeared in the lens.

As a frequent visitor to the Chu Palace, the telescope in the hands of his son and Li Zhi is naturally the latest style.

Under the leadership of Chen Dali, the glass workshop is now more and more handy in the production of lenses.

Not only has the production of microscopes and magnifying glasses increased dramatically, but the production of telescopes and various myopia glasses and reading glasses has also soared.

"It's so spectacular to have 10,000 people gathered together. It's hard to imagine hundreds of thousands of people on the battlefield during a war. ”

The son looked at the slowly advancing phalanx in the camera, and his heart was full of shock.

When watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", for the battle of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, everyone watched it, and there was no special feeling.

But now that 10,000 flesh-and-blood sergeants appeared in front of him, the feeling was completely different.

"Although there were dozens of phalanxes marching side by side, the ranks were not chaotic at all. Son, I'm looking forward to the military parade for a while. ”

……

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With the sharp voice of the little eunuch, on the tower of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Li Shimin appeared in front of everyone.

And the military band under the Suzaku Gate also began to play the march.

As if it was just the right time, the parade troops who were already waiting nearby, after Qin Qiong Pegasus came to the city wall and reported to Li Shimin, they waited for Li Shimin to go down to the city tower and follow him to patrol the phalanx that was about to participate in the parade.

Originally, Li Zhong and Li Junxian were opposed to this link.

Although Qin Qiong's martial arts are very strong, there is no one else around Li Shimin to guard him, and if someone makes trouble, Qianniuwei and Baiqi Si will not be able to rescue them immediately.

However, after all, Li Shimin is the emperor who will win the world immediately, and after thinking about it for a while, he knows that this simple tour can greatly enhance his prestige in the army.

Let the soldiers of Datang feel their importance and trust in them.

Therefore, today he appeared in front of the parade troops with Qin Qiong.

"The soldiers have worked hard!"

Li Shimin followed the process of explaining Li Kuan's matter to himself, stretched out his hand and waved, and then shouted loudly.

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"

Unexpectedly, the response to him was not "I have seen Your Majesty" or "Long live Your Majesty" or anything like that, but such a sentence that made people's blood boil.

Li Kuan didn't tell him this sentence beforehand.

"The soldiers have worked hard!"

When Li Shimin said this again, the feelings were different.

Looking at the rows of phalanxes in front of him standing there like green pines waiting for his review, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a burst of heroism in his heart.

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"

In front of Suzaku Gate, no one was whispering there, and everyone felt the momentum of giving up who else.

Especially the generals of the Twelve Guards, although many of them know that the troops under review are trained in the Tang Royal Military Academy, some of them have even gone in to see it.

However, no one could have imagined that the training results would be like this.

Although these 10,000 people are basically the elite of the 12 guards, it is not for nothing that the 12 guards are on par with them, or even better.

But now this momentum, even if Qianniuwei pulls it out, it is not as good.

What really happened this month?

Many people can't help but be curious.

"The soldiers have worked hard!"

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"

Li Shimin rode his horse slowly through one phalanx after another, and it took almost ten minutes to return to the top of the tower.

At this time, Li Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, announced the official start of the military parade.

The dragon flag of Datang is rising.

The soldiers in charge of raising the flag strode forward with neat steps.

"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north~".

The majestic "Loyal to the Country" rippled in everyone's ears, and at that moment, all the Tang people were proud of being Tang people!

And the envoys of the vassal kingdom such as Hideki Konoe were in a complicated mood.

However, at this moment, there is a feeling in everyone's hearts that the Tang Dynasty is invincible and can only be friends.

Soon, the sergeants of the first phalanx walked in unison, evenly, vigorously, and powerfully, and every movement was so precise that it seemed that there was no error.

When the troops under review walked, the people in each phalanx were like a person, all of them looked solemn, high-spirited, and high-spirited.

It makes people can't help but rush to the blood boiling.

After a while, the time came for even more exciting.

I saw an order in the phalanx, and all the people switched to the mode of walking at the same time.

Don't look at the training, everyone thinks that this kind of positive step practice is meaningless, but at this moment, the first-class spiritual outlook, first-class work style and discipline, and first-class training quality of the troops under review are vividly displayed in front of Li Shimin, in front of all the generals, and in front of all the people.

The Tang army is mighty and majestic!

Even Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji, who are usually not fake colors, are now leaning on the top of the city tower with excited faces, staring at the team below without turning their eyes.

With the cooperation of the unique march, the shocking scene brought to everyone by the parade troops will remain in everyone's hearts forever.
