Chapter 22: Sacrifice to Heaven is rude

At the moment when the crowd was shocked, there were a group of people with blue faces, a shocked face, and a deep annoyance and shame!

This group of people is Wang Maozhong's party.

Wang Maozhong faced Li Longji with a bit of excessive favor, and his pride had already filled his chest.

It is an eternal common sense that water flows to a lower place and people go to a higher place.

At this annual meeting, under Pei Min's proposal, a small military parade will be held to highlight the military strength of the Tang Dynasty.

The Longwu Army and Yulin Army subordinate to the Northern Ya in the Tang Guanzhong, and the Sixteen Guards under the Southern Ya are all forbidden troops of the Son of Heaven, totaling 160,000.

The men and horses who escorted Li Longji to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens should also be selected from these 160,000 soldiers.

What an honor it is to be able to show your face in front of all countries and be the burden of escorting Li Longji to the Temple of Heaven.

Who is not tempted by the Long Wu Army, the Yulin Army and the Sixteen Guards?

Even if Wang Maozhong and Pei Min had a very bad relationship, in the face of this opportunity to be in the limelight, he couldn't help but use his connections to find someone to talk to him in person, and he also asked Li Longji.

Li Longji knew Wang Maozhong's ability, and he was still very measured in this overall situation, and directly told Wang Maozhong that Pei Min was solely responsible for this matter, and even he had no right to ask.

The interests are moving, Wang Maozhong can only use his relationship, licking his face and begging Pei Min to let his Zuo Wuwei have a chance to show his face.

Regarding Wang Maozhong's request, Pei Min did not veto any emotion, and gave a stipulation that he would strive for it with strength, and if his strength was insufficient, he would never have a chance to play.

Rather lack than excess!

Pei Min didn't want a rat feces to ruin a pot of soup, the original quota was three thousand, if he didn't make up for three thousand, he would rather have one thousand or five hundred than add one more waste.

Pei Min originally thought that it should not be difficult to choose 3,000 out of 160,000.

As it turned out, he was a little naïve.

The commander of the 160,000 soldiers, the general, was tempted by the flower world of Chang'an, the capital, and had the feeling of being drunk and dreaming of death.

Commanders and generals slack off on military affairs, and soldiers naturally slack off on training.

Daily exercises are mostly perfunctory.

It seems that he is tall and big, with bright clothes and armor, and it is okay to fool Li Longji, the emperor who does not know about military affairs, and some princes and ministers.

Pei Min, who has Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Pei Xingjian, saw at a glance the fact that they embroidered pillows, and they couldn't use it.

Only a few of them have the feeling of coming out of the mud without staining. But even if they were not assimilated, they were nowhere near as good as the soldiers who received reasonable and careful training.

In the end, it is up to the Divine Army to support this scene.

Looking at the majestic Shence Army, Wang Maozhong, Ge Fushun, Tang Diwen, Li Shoude and others all had a stiff face, and their hearts were extremely jealous.

But they couldn't help Pei Min...... can only hold grudges dryly.

Mosley Massa's eyes are even more fanatical, the strong soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have such a might, not inferior to the lion army under his command, they can fight with such an opponent, even if they die on the battlefield, they have no regrets.

The Byzantine Governor Stinian also made up his mind in his heart that he could not be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty no matter what.

An Arab, they can no longer afford it. With such a strong military strength, how can they resist?

Thinking about the rumors found along the way, if the Tang Dynasty used the "earth-shaking thunder" to deal with the walls of Constantinople, or traded the "earth-shaking thunder" to Arabia, wouldn't Byzantium be destroyed?

"No matter what, we must have a good relationship with Datang, even if we suffer losses, we can't let Arabia have friendly exchanges with Datang!"

The young lord of the Tuqi Shi, Wei Bijia, the deputy minister of Tubo, Long Langchi, the patriarch of Gelulu, Ashina Shiwei and others were also speechless in surprise.

The kings of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu were even more solemn and shocked.

They have seen the strength of the Tang Anxi Army, as a strong soldier guarding the Western Regions. The number of Anxi troops is not large, but its strength is undoubtedly among the best among the coup d'état soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty.

In recent years, the Anxi Army's record has also been very good, and it has suppressed many Xiaoxiao in the Western Regions.

The Arab border armies have suffered losses, although the main reason is that the Arab Empire does not pay attention to the eastern defense line, but it can also prove that the Anxi army is indeed not weak.

In particular, the performance of the rising star Gao Xianzhi is even more eye-catching.

But compared with the army in front of them, the Anxi army has a feeling of being a little bit of a witch, and it is not at the same level at all.

The nine kings couldn't help but think: "If the 30,000 Tang soldiers in the Western Regions are like this, even if they are the same enemy, they will not be able to change the overall situation." ”

Although Kang Shulie, the king of Kangguo, was worried, he was also relieved.

In the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, Kang Shulie is the most loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

In the Western Regions, in the face of the Great Food Country, the Turkic Empire, the Turkic Empire, and the Tibetan Empire, the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu were no longer so united.

The stronger Datang is, the more he can rest assured. Even if he is really forced to remove the prince and become a governor of the Tang Dynasty, he is also a stable governor.

It is true that the title has changed, but the power remains the same.

As for the existence of those two-faced and three-edged beings in the Nine Kingdoms, they all showed a sense of relief.

Some people who have already betrayed the Tang Dynasty have changed color slightly, regretting that they were not at the beginning, and they don't know what to do.

Pei Min paid attention to the expressions of the kings of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, as the king of a country, it was not easy to see what they were thinking from their expressions, but the individual hearts were weak and nervous, but they could also be faintly distinguished.

The first step is deterrence, and the goal is successfully achieved.

"Meet Your Majesty, welcome Your Majesty to the Temple of Heaven!"

Three thousand soldiers shouted in unison, and the three thousand people were like one, their movements were completely consistent, and their voices converged into one place, like a pack of wolves howling.

Li Longji was very excited, and under the escort of three thousand armor soldiers, he went to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens.

Three thousand armor soldiers were divided around the left, Li Longji and hundreds of civil and military officials, and envoys of various ethnic groups were located in the middle of the long street.

Watching the resolute and unyielding soldiers up close, everyone gave a thumbs up and exclaimed.

Arrived at the Temple of Heaven.

The solemn and solemn Yale "Kagura Song" reverberated above the Temple of Heaven under the performance of more than 100 Confucian scholars.

Yale is not as beautiful as folk music, but every note is full of history.

Li Longji solemnly walked into the three-story platform, and each floor has nine steps on each side. The center of the upper layer is a round stone, the outer fan-shaped stone blocks are nine circles, the inner circle is nine, and the multiple of nine is extended outwards in turn, and the railings and pillars are also used in the number of nine or multiples of nine, symbolizing the number of "days".

The sacrifice of the Son of Heaven at the Temple of Heaven is the most solemn activity of the dynasty.

Almost every official guard of the Tang Dynasty was solemn with high respect.

However, the envoys of the nations were impatient.

Silla, Wa, Khitan, and Xi, which are located in the east and northeast, are deeply influenced by Tang culture, and the situation is better, with the same solemn expression. However, many countries in the West, including the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, are extremely rude.

The Western countries, as well as the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, were deeply influenced by Tianzhu Buddhism, Islam of the Great Food Country, and even Christianity.

All three of these sects are unusually xenophobic, believing that their beliefs are the only true God.

For the Tang Dynasty's sacrifice to the sky, I don't approve of it and feel very bored.

The crowd couldn't help it, some of them were haha, some were whispering, and they almost didn't squat down.

Seeing this, Pei Min glanced into the distance.
