Chapter XVII

When the drum on the Chengtian Gate sounded, Chang'an City ushered in the first ray of dawn in the east, and also ushered in the first day of the fourteenth year of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Daxing Hall of Daxing Palace, Li Yuanjia also stood at the front of the team.

In fact, the one who is qualified to be more advanced than him is Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the dynasty, and no one else has this ability. Even Li Tai, the emperor's favorite Wei king, and Sun Wuji, the most trusted prince of Zhao State, and Fang Xuanling, the prince of Liang Guo, can only stand behind Li Yuanjia.

All the way to the front, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but be excited again.

If you talk about the momentum alone, let alone the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and the World Cup, I am afraid that a sports meeting in college will be much larger, after all, no matter how big this Daxing Hall is, it can be bigger than a stadium? No matter how many people the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and envoys from various countries are, can they be more than a few grades of students in a university?

Not to mention the level of material supply, even the Tang Dynasty cannot compare with a university in later generations, and the gap in all aspects is too great.

But in terms of momentum, except for super events such as the Olympics, everything else is not at the same level as today's court.

Whatever one may say, this is the center of a country!

So even in Li Yuanjia's eyes, after more than a thousand years, the costumes of any TV series can be taken out, and the court clothes on the princes can be crushed at will, and even the prince's dress on his own body can't be put on the stage, but whenever Li Yuanjia sees the looks of these people, his heart flashes at the same time

The names of these people - eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda......

It's a feeling that can't be compared at all.

What's more, this is still a personal experience, and seeing it on TV in the future are completely two different concepts!

And when Li Shimin, the famous emperor of the ages, appeared, the ministers in the Daxing Hall saluted at the same time, and after the voice spread outside the hall, those officials and envoys who were not qualified to enter the hall chanted together, this feeling reached its peak in an instant......

In the midst of the chorus of shouts, the Tang Dynasty ushered in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, and in the Daxing Hall in the palace, the bigwigs from all parties impassionedly told His Majesty the current emperor about the smooth weather of the past year, as well as the auspiciousness of all parties.

Of course, the tribute of various states is indispensable, expressing respect for the Celestial Empire.

The Tang Dynasty, which has been in Zhenguan for thirteen years, is already powerful!

In addition, Hou Junji recently led a large army to the Western Regions to crusade against Gaochang, which was extremely powerful, which deterred many impure guys, and the surrounding area of Datang instantly stabilized a lot.

At this Yuan-Japan Dynasty Meeting, many vassal states temporarily sent envoys and hurried over to participate.

At dawn, the pilgrimage meeting officially began.

After a series of cumbersome processes, even Li Yuanjia, who was mentally prepared, had to congratulate himself on his foresight - the stinky and long congratulatory messages from all sides, as well as the speeches of the bosses of the officials, officials and other departments, not only made people's brains tired, but also suffered a sin in their stomachs.

Fortunately, it was noon and the meal was finally served.

Although the emperor's banquet is quite common in the Tang Dynasty, especially for Li Shimin, who likes to be lively, it is even more common for many people to be able to eat a bite of food after a tired morning, even if it is a slightly cold meal!

And then......

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

When Emperor Li Shimin raised the wine glass in his hand and excitedly finished the toast, in a burst of cheers, the noon banquet finally began.

Countless palace maids and chamberlains poured in with plates, putting the delicacies that had been prepared long ago on the small tables. And after the emperor laughed and took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, Li Yuanjia glanced at the prince in front of his position, and found that Li Chengqian, the kid, also picked up the chopsticks, so he naturally did it unceremoniously.

In today's China, there is still a traditional meal sharing system.

Although Li Yuanjia let the stir-fry appear in advance, more importantly, the tables and chairs were put out in advance, which has provided soil for the emergence of the joint meal system...... In fact, only the aristocracy, scholars and wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty have a shared meal system, and most of the common people at the bottom also have a shared meal system.

However, the real meal system occupied the mainstream, and it was still until the Song Dynasty.

And even in the Song Dynasty, many times although everyone sat at the same table, the meal was also their own one, and in essence, it was still a separate meal system......

Far from it.

Just like the ripples produced after a stone was cast, before Li Shimin started, the next crown prince Li Chengqian, Han Wang Li Yuanjia, Zhao Guogong, Liang Guogong and others also picked up chopsticks, and soon after, the solemn place immediately changed the atmosphere.

Again, the Tang Dynasty was an era of openness.

Although it is still a heavy salute, there are insistences and requirements that future people cannot understand in many places, but more often it is quite open-minded, such as in the morning hall, when listening to the auspicious scenery played by the Yellow Gate Shilang, some ministers even danced excitedly! And it's not enough to jump by yourself, you have to pull the people around you to jump together!

Anyway, just like last year, Li Yuanjia was stunned again. Sure enough, movies and television are all deceptive, and we really can't understand the brain circuits of the ancients......

But now, of course, it's the biggest meal.

With more than a dozen chopsticks in a row, a small plate of roast mutton went down, and the hunger in Li Yuanjia's stomach was slightly extinguished.

"Come on, bring me another plate!"

I don't know if it's because I'm very hungry, or because I haven't eaten roast mutton for a long time, Li Yuanjia felt that today's portion tasted exceptionally delicious, so after eating, he immediately waved to the waiter not far behind him and gave an order.

“…… Yes, King. ”

His eyes were obviously stunned for a moment, but the waiter nodded immediately and trotted to fetch him mutton.

Hearing his voice, Li Chengqian and Li Tai next to him were stunned at the same time, and then they were happy at the same time. Especially Li Tai's little fat man, while looking at him, he also showed a narrow smile on his face.

This imperial uncle of his own family is really ......

This is the big court meeting of the Yuan Ri!

Although the meaning of the emperor's words just now is that everyone should not be restrained and be casual, but how many can really do it? That's a few old ministers who have been following for a long time, right? Even Li Chengqian and Li Tai, in order to give their father...... In other words, to give the impression of stability to other ministers, you should also be cautious.

But the imperial uncle next to him really did what he wanted.

And just when they secretly thought it was funny, as His Majesty the Emperor stepped down from his throne, the highlight of the day was finally about to begin......

……

Alas, it is completely impossible to write about the feeling.
