Chapter 910: Cultural Center
Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, and the weather is getting colder.
And the wedding day of Xue Rengui and Princess Changle is also coming.
The entire Chang'an City was filled with joy.
A large number of foreigners poured into the city of Chang'an.
Chang'an City became a cultural gathering place.
But this time, Chang'an has long been prepared. It is no longer affected by the overpopulation of immigrants.
The law and order is very good now.
No foreigner dares to cause trouble.
Wu Zetian's belly is also slowly getting bigger, and Zheng Liwan will give birth in three months.
I'm afraid that when she is born, Li Chengqian will go to Tibet.
For the happiness of his family, Datang is strong, this is what he should do.
On this day, in the Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin listened to Li Chengqian's report.
The color of joy on his face became more intense.
"What you said is true?"
"Father, all this is true!"
"In this way, I, Tang Chang'an, will lead the whole world!"
At this time, the cultural atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was very strong.
For example, the commercial culture of Chang'an City is not only unprecedentedly developed in urban planning and construction, but also the economy has developed rapidly, and the commercial culture has become more and more mature. Tang Chang'an City set up two markets in the east and west in the south of the imperial city, and the industrial and commercial trade in the city revolved around the two cities. Compared with the two cities, the West Market is larger in scale, richer in goods, and has a wider range of business. At the same time, the West Market gathers many foreign merchants and is the most famous foreign trade market. Basically, all foreign transactions will be completed in Chang'an City.
And the second is religious culture
Chang'an as a religious center. Due to the country's close foreign exchanges, many religions were introduced to Chang'an from the West, and the rulers of the Tang Dynasty were inclusive of foreign cultures, so there were many religions in the Tang Dynasty at the same time, and religious activities were extremely prosperous, such as Buddhism, Taoism, Manichaeism, etc. Among them, Buddhist culture is one of the important factors influencing the planning and design of Tang Chang'an City. The previous Xuanzang envoy was also influenced by religious studies.
The last one is the Hajj culture.
This is something that Li Shimin is proud of.
In the surrounding area, because of the admiration of the highly developed economic civilization of the Tang Dynasty, there are countless areas that come to Chang'an for pilgrimage, study, academic exchanges, and economic and trade.
Coupled with the princess's wedding, the relationship is even closer.
The father and son laughed.
And Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, the more he watched, the more refreshing he became.
After all, it was Li Chengqian who advanced the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty by more than a hundred years.
Datang became so powerful, which he didn't expect.
There are legends about him among the people.
said that he is Mingjun, leading the people to a better future.
He's really comfortable as an emperor.
It only took three years for Li Chengqian to raise Datang's strength to the first position in the world. This is something that it will take him Li Shimin for decades or even longer to get started, and then he will have to rely on his son to help him achieve it, and he, Li Chengqian, will help him achieve it at one time.
Not only these, but also military strength, hundreds of years in advance, even thousands of years, all these things, but Li Shimin couldn't think of it.
"Gao Ming, Gao Ming, with your help, my Datang will be even stronger!"
"All this is because my father made a good start! and your constant support, which would not have been possible otherwise. ”
Li Chengqian said.
Without a good emperor, Li Chengqian could not be supported.
How can it be done well?
This reform is not wishful thinking.
The eldest grandson queen on the side said angrily: "You two fathers and sons, don't compliment each other." This Datang can't do without you! ”
Empress Eldest Sun calculated it and said a fair word.
"Hahaha!"
provoked Li Shimin to laugh.
"Then, it's indispensable."
"That's right, Father! Do you need to do anything about the wedding? ”
Li Chengqian asked.
"Well, I thought about it, there seems to be nothing to do, all this, I and your queen mother have dealt with it."
Li Shimin said.
The eldest grandson queen was unimpressed.
"Your Majesty, I don't think so!"
"Oh? Not necessarily? So what's left undone? ”
Li Shimin asked puzzled.
"Isn't there still an arrangement for foreign envoys?"
Empress Eldest Sun said.
Li Shimin patted his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, yes, if you don't say it, I forgot it!" Regarding the recent disposition of the envoys to my Datang, it is better for Gao Ming to deal with this, because I don't know which people should be treated with kindness and where they should be casual. ”
Regarding the matter of foreign envoys, Li Shimin really couldn't see clearly.
Some people, Li Chengqian knows very well whether they are helpful to the future of Datang, and some people are white-eyed wolves, and Li Shimin can't tell at all.
Li Chengqian classified and dealt with them according to everything he knew, and he came forward to solve them.
Therefore, all this has to be handled by Li Chengqian, and that is the best.
"It is incumbent upon the sons and daughters!"
Li Chengqian said.
He likes to do this kind of thing, too.
Because he's very good at it.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to report it.
"Your Majesty, there is a messenger outside the door asking to see you!"
Li Shimin was shocked in his heart, this is coming.
And just now there was also a saying that Li Chengqian would deal with it.
So he faced Li Chengqian.
"Envoy of a neighboring country, this is the first one to come to the court, what should I do?"
"The theory is that Your Majesty can't be seen, and the officials below can come."
Li Shimin didn't just want to see it.
That's why Empress Changsun said so.
"Then I want to let someone come."
"Let the sons take care of it!"
Li Chengqian understood and said.
"Your mother and I are waiting in the rear!"
Li Shimin is not right, he is a little lazy. But fortunately, Li Chengqian is very willing to do this kind of thing.
"Please!"
Li Chengqian made a gesture of invitation.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun went to the rear.
Li Chengqian asked: "Who is coming?" ”
"Messenger of the Murwei Kingdom!"
Murwei and Khitan come from the same source, bounded by the Xing'an Mountains, the south is Khitan, and the north is called Murwei.
After the Turks unified the Turks, they did not march towards Murwe.
After all, there is still a Khitan in the middle.
The Khitan has long been a part of the Tang Dynasty.
And Tuli also did not have the right to send troops to the Khitan to take Murwei, so Murwei stayed.
It is bordered by the Turquoise in the east, and Goguryeo below.
In the next three hundred years, in the Five Dynasties period, the Khitan people called the Heishui Tardrel as the Jurchen, and since then, the name Jurchen has replaced the Jurchen.
It is still a small country dominated by tribes, and there are no particularly strong places, not much different from Murwei.
At this time, Mu Wei came over to meet Li Shimin alone, and there must be something to ask Li Shimin for.
Since Li Shimin has given himself power, Li Chengqian will naturally not be polite.
