A prelude made Gongsun Yu dumbfounded.

This magnificent Qin King's breaking array music is a prelude, so what is the real ending?

Gongsun You couldn't judge, so he could only look forward to it.

As the last note of King Qin's Breaking Array Music sounded, the banquet finally ended with the end of the "King Qin Breaking Array Music", announcing the end of the banquet.

"All of you go out of the temple with me! Let's feel the celebration of the Tang New Year! ”

Li Longji was the first to get up and led the ministers of civil and military affairs and a group of envoys out of the main hall.

The outside of the Chengqian Hall is dark, and the winter night is particularly dark, even if the bright moon is in the sky, the visual distance is not more than a foot apart. The huge palace seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and it seemed extremely dead.

The envoys didn't think it was right, but the ministers of civil and military affairs were full of surprise.

The palace is the power center of the Tang Dynasty, even at night, the halls will be lit up, so that it will not be so dark and invisible.

Just when everyone was hesitating, a sudden change occurred!

In the darkness in front of them, a little open flame suddenly flashed. Immediately, the flames rose into the air and spread in all directions, and the seven-colored fireworks were drawn into a soaring dragon that was more than ten feet long......

At the same time, four colorful fireworks appeared on the city tower in the distance, and the big character "Datang Wansheng" appeared!

Seeing this scene, everyone held their breath and stared at the fireworks.

Prime Minister Zhang Shuo took the opportunity to kneel on the ground and shouted: "The dragon is in the east, and the Tang Dynasty is victorious!" ”

Everyone came back to their senses and shouted in unison: "The dragon is in the east, and the Tang Dynasty is victorious!" The trembling sound rose and fell like a tide, the mountains and valleys responded, and the thousand white people boiled, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The ministers and foreign envoys of the palace were all shocked and shocked, and at the same time faced Li Longji, and shouted long live.

Even Mosley Massa, Long Langchi, and others were infected by the fierce atmosphere of the scene.

Li Longji returned the salute with a smile and greeted the officials and dancers, and glanced at Pei Min, showing that he was extremely satisfied with this arrangement.

Kneeling on the ground, Mosley Massa, Long Langchi, Justinian, and the kings of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu looked at each other and stared at each other, not knowing for a moment what to do with the thrilling strange thing in front of them. The superstitious ones even thought that it was the real dragon in the world, thinking of the inexplicable loud noise in the sacrifice, and they couldn't help but feel related.

Strike while the iron is hot, and in the next few days, the people from the Ministry of Rites will lead the envoys of all ethnic groups to tour Chang'an to prosper, lead them to watch the surging Yellow River, experience the majesty of Luoyang, and show everything in the Tang Dynasty.

Mosley Massa and Justinian also signed contracts with the Tang Dynasty on behalf of their own countries to consolidate the Silk Road and ensure the smooth flow of trade routes in the Western Regions. Long Langchi also proposed to reopen the Tangbo Ancient Road, which after some debate, the Tang Dynasty finally agreed to the plan of Tubo to reopen the Tangbo Ancient Road.

Pei Min cast a decisive vote in this.

The opening of the Tangbo Ancient Road will restore the disadvantages of the Tibetan economy and stimulate the prosperity of the Tibetan economy. Although Datang is profitable, it is far less profitable than the windfall profits of the Western Regions Trade Road, which is dispensable.

For some reason, the Tang Dynasty did not pay much attention to the Tangbo Ancient Road.

The reason why Pei Min agreed was also because of the benefits brought by the Tangbo Ancient Road. But once the Tangbo Ancient Road is opened, Tubo will definitely spend time to repair and govern the Tangbo Ancient Road, and it will be like the Marquis of Shu welcoming the Golden Bull. It will bring certain convenience to the Tang Dynasty in the future.

In the face of the power displayed by the Tang Dynasty, the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu re-signed an annexation agreement with the Tang Dynasty. The agreement also added many powerful clauses for the Tang Dynasty, including even regulations that in order to obtain the approval of the Tang Dynasty, the Nine Kingdoms shall not establish their own princes, and shall not send troops to attack without authorization, which means that the future military affairs of the Western Regions will be decided by the Tang Dynasty, and the future crown prince of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu will not have the right to succeed to the throne without the support of the Tang Dynasty, which further strengthens the control of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu.

The canonization of the crown prince was the purpose of Li Longji's invitation to the original Chang'an of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, and now that he has more control over the military affairs, he has obviously achieved his goal beyond expectations.

The Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu did not show much dissatisfaction in the face of the loss of power in their hands.

The law of survival in the Western Regions is the law of survival in the Western Regions, and the current Datang has enough strength to deter the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms.

Pei Min also got the corresponding benefits, and he was able to deter the countries so smoothly. What he did was indispensable, using the novelty of the Shence Army, gunpowder, and pyrotechnics to help the Tang Dynasty pretend to be a big force, and at the banquet, he defeated the lion king Mosley Massa of the Western Regions, and cooperated with Gongsun You to block Arabia, so that the diplomatic affairs went smoothly.

Such a feat is no less than waging a campaign.

Can Li Longji not be rewarded?

On the first day of the New Year's Day ten days later, Li Longji immediately issued Pei Min's commendation, crowned him as an auxiliary general, and rewarded him with all kinds of gold and silver utensils, of course, fine wine.

The most solemn of the Spring Festival is undoubtedly New Year's Day, but the real grandeur is the Shangyuan Festival.

As the first important festival after the Spring Festival, the Shangyuan Festival in the Tang Dynasty, which was unprecedentedly powerful, has developed from a one-day carnival in the Han Dynasty to a three-day celebration.

During these three days, the imperial court will cancel the curfew, and there will even be no distinction between rank and dignity, and the monarch and the people will rejoice, the monarch and the ministers will rejoice, and the subjects will celebrate together, and everyone will revel.

For this kind of day, Pei Min and Jiao Chen have long been used to it, but Xiaoqi Xiaoba is full of expectations, and after learning that there is a big carnival of Shangyuan Festival, as early as after New Year's Day, they are pestering to see Shangyuan lanterns.

Pei Min had no reason to refuse the request of his beloved son and daughter, and made an appointment with Pei's mother and Jiao Chen, and called Li Bai, Wang Zhongsi and the queen mother, and went to the street together.

Siyikan!

In an exquisite courtyard, the two sat on their knees opposite each other, discussing unspeakable things in a low voice.

The man in white asked, "Are you sure?" ”

The man in Tsing Yi replied with a little respect: "It's been decided!" It's not a miracle at all, we all let the Tang people play tricks. The giant dragon and the words 'Tang Wansheng' are made of fireworks, and the loud noise in the ritual of sacrificing to the sky is something called 'firecrackers', which were invented by Princess Yuzhen. I also heard that the princess was also involved in the research and development of the earth-shattering thunder......"

"In other words, as long as we get Princess Yuzhen, it is equivalent to getting the formula of the earth-shaking thunder?"

"So to speak! It's just that Princess Yuzhen is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not easy to make a move on her. Even if she is lucky for a while, how to resettle her, and how to take her away from Chang'an are all problems. ”

"It's okay!" The man in white chuckled: "You didn't attend the New Year's Day banquet, you don't understand the situation." When something happened to this princess, the first thing to suspect was the Great Food Country. It has nothing to do with us, we don't need to take the princess out alive, and we don't have the ability to do that. But as long as we can get the earth-shattering formula from her mouth and memorize the formula in our heads, who can stop us? She is a princess, with golden branches and jade leaves, delicate and expensive, I really don't believe it, she can withstand torture to extract confessions...... Shangyuan Festival is the most chaotic and unordered time in Chang'an, and it is the most appropriate time to do it at that time. You arrange manpower and act carefully, I guess it's not just us who are peeking at the earth-shattering thunder. We can find out, there's no reason they can't find out! ”
