Chapter 18 Chinese New Year Event Ambassadors

Pei Min looked at the Siming maniac He Zhizhang looked at Li Bai's excited expression, knowing that history had once again turned back a little bit.

It is because of the Yuefu poem "Shu Dao Difficulty" that He Zhizhang in history excitedly called Li Bai an immortal, thinking that only immortals can write such poems.

Pei Min couldn't have imagined that after this historical overhaul, the title of the immortal once again fell on Li Bai's head, but this time it was not "Shu Dao Difficulty", but an equal quality "Ask the Wine to the Moon".

After thinking about it carefully, Pei Min took it for granted, except for Li Bai, there was really no one in the world who deserved the title of "Immortal".

At the invitation of He Zhizhang, the two entered the He Mansion.

He Zhizhang, Pei Min, and Li Bai are all talkative people, and a few cups of yellow soup are in the stomach, which is a set of nonsense in the south and the north.

What comes to mind and what to say, whether it is to talk about the past or the present, or to talk about the future, whether it is right or wrong, there is nothing to talk about.

Even when it comes to poetry, Pei Min is not afraid.

He himself has no poetic talent, but he is also a liberal arts student, with thousands of years of famous sayings and famous sentences hidden in his chest, and his ability to appreciate ancient poetry is not inferior to He Zhizhang and Li Bai, the two great poets, and he can also boast and not fall behind.

This drink is very popular, Li Bai is a poetry again, and he casually made an impassioned poem to serve the country.

When talking about the future of the Tang Dynasty, this future poet immortal was proud, and said: "Now there are Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers in the court, and there are handsome and good generals outside, and the prosperous era has reappeared." This time Wanbang came to congratulate, which is a precursor. It is just around the corner to reproduce the grand scene of the Taizong and Gaozong periods in the past. He is not stingy with praise for the motherland and is optimistic about the prospects of Datang. Bohemian and uninhibited, with contempt for etiquette, there is a patriotic fervor.

He Zhizhang said: "The words of the immortals are true, and now the situation in my Datang is very good." With this situation, Brother Min has made a lot of contributions, and he can't help but respect Brother Min for three cups. ”

Li Bai also raised his wine glass without hesitation.

In the past, there was a Yao Chong who could compare with Pei Min, but with the resignation of Yao Chong, his achievements stagnated, and Pei Min successively set up three great feats of disaster resistance, Dingliuhu Prefecture, and Kailong Mountain to repair Wusheling Ridge.

This is also a well-known thing.

Pei Min responded seriously: "In fact, there are many things that I am not doing alone, but I am lucky to have the support of many nobles and the help of talented people." Your Majesty, Taigong, two Guo Gongs, as well as Feng Changqing, Jiang Yue, Li Yide, Li Siye, Sun Zhou, Zhang Jiuling, Yuan Luqian, these capable people, without them, there would be no me today...... I'm here with them and drink them together! ”

Everyone in the world praises him Pei Min as the Optimus Jade Pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Tang Dynasty. But he himself knows that today's achievements are inseparable from the support of many people, and he does not dare or want to claim credit alone.

He Zhizhang pointed his finger and praised: "Brother Min is not proud of his achievements, and he has the demeanor of a general of Dashu...... The Ministry of Rites has recently encountered a difficult matter, and I have not been able to know how to choose. Brother Min is slightly better than a brother, please advise. ”

Pei Min smiled: "Old brother, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

He Zhizhang said solemnly: "This matter is related to this year's New Year's celebration, in the past, the New Year's celebration of our dynasty was mainly solemn, tracing back to the weekly ceremony, sacrificing to the heavens and ancestors, in order to seek peace and security for the country and the people." This year is different, many envoys from other ethnic groups participated together, Your Majesty hopes to show the power of my Datang, so that other countries can feel the strength of my Datang. Especially the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, now the undercurrent of the Western Regions is surging, the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms are not chaotic, and the Western Regions are not chaotic. Once something goes wrong in the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, the Western Regions will be unstable. This is honest, the solemnity pursued by worshipping the heavens and ancestors. Only our own people can grasp the meaning. People in other countries do not know the rules handed down by my ancestors, and the cumbersome rituals will only make them bored and disgusted. ”

"Hey!" Pei Min said with empathy: "It's not just them, even I can't stand it very much." Guo Gong's prisoner sacrifice ceremony was directly tired, which can be seen. If you really want them to participate in the whole process, there is no change, but I am afraid that it will not work. ”

He Zhizhang said worriedly: "This point is also in our concerns, but we don't know where to start." ”

Pei Min pondered for a moment and said: "Use the military formation to strengthen the momentum, cheer with artillery fire, and use fireworks to cheer up the banquet." Deleting the rituals of the ancestors is disrespectful to the ancestors and inappropriate. We can add an opening ceremony ...... while keeping the ceremony"

Opening ceremony?

Gunfire?

Pyrotechnics?

All kinds of fresh words made He Zhizhang look ignorant.

Pei Min was full of thoughts, China has always been a country that values face, and the opening ceremony of these various activities, in his time, almost no country did it better than China, better and more luxurious.

There were countless examples to refer to, and the various ritual processes flashed in his mind one by one.

Although the current technology is not as gorgeous as the later generations, the artifacts of fireworks and artillery fire are the latest research and development of Li Zhiying based on gunpowder. It's the first time in history that it has appeared in the public's field of vision, how can a group of dirt buns hold it?

"Brother Min, my brother is really lonely and weak, I don't know what you say?" He Zhizhang was a little complaining.

Li Bai also said: "Fireworks, what the master said was the shiny thing last night?" ”

Although he lives in Pei's mansion, the inner courtyard of Pei's mansion is forbidden to enter and exit at will.

However, the effect of fireworks has already spread throughout Pei's Mansion through the mouths of the servants in the house, and Li Bai has also heard about it.

Pei Min explained: "Artillery fire and pyrotechnics are products derived from black powder, and the power is much smaller, but the momentum is more than enough. ”

Saying that, he said his thoughts one by one, and all kinds of activities were detailed.

He Zhizhang couldn't help but nod his head, and when he heard the end, he was even more amazed, and said: "In this way, from the beginning of the military formation, to the subsequent salute and drum sound, and then to the end of the banquet, the fireworks in the middle of the night are wonderful, which is much more clever than the preparation of our Ministry of Rites!" Brother Min's talent is shocking. Is there anything in this world that is difficult for you? In this way, Brother Min, you write down your thoughts, give them to your brother, report them to Lord Shangshu for your brother, and then he will consult with His Majesty to see if there is a need for major changes. If you get your Majesty's consent, I hope Brother Min will help you. Of course, if His Majesty handed over this matter to Brother Min to be responsible, it would be even better. ”

"It's good!" Pei Min also knows the importance of this face project, Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, if there is too much movement, the Western Regions will be unstable, deterring those who have two sides and three swords, uprooting those who have already surrendered to the enemy, and appeasing those who are really willing to occupy the same front with Datang, a three-pronged approach is the best policy.

asked for pen and paper, Pei Min put all the thoughts in his heart into a book, sorted them out, and handed them to He Zhizhang.

There was almost no extra consideration, Li Longji looked at the process designed by Pei Min, and directly issued an appointment, ordering Pei Min to be the ambassador of the New Year activities, fully responsible for all activities in the New Year......
