Xuan Shijing and Wei Zheng walked into the palace side by side, all the way into the Taiji Palace, and from a distance, Xuan Shijing saw Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong, two princes, wearing purple round-necked official uniforms and goldfish bags hanging around their waists, standing and talking with Wei Chigong, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, and General Niu Jinda.

Xuan Shijing walked among the five people and said hello one by one.

"Xiao Shijing, are you alone today?" Qin Qiong looked around, but did not find anyone else in the Hou Mansion.

"Yes, this year, Shi Jing is alone, Gao Jun sent me to the gate of the palace, and I asked him to go back first, and I came with Lord Wei along the way." Xuan Shijing said: "Anyway, I'm just here to make soy sauce." ”

"Jing'er, what is soy sauce, this palace is big, there is no soy sauce for you to buy, you have to go to the Shangshi Bureau." Cheng Yanjin said with a big grin.

"Uncle Cheng, what the little nephew said about playing soy sauce means coming over and going through the motions, which doesn't have much effect." Xuan Shijing hurriedly explained.

"Little rabbit cub, just say some new words that your Uncle Cheng doesn't understand, and don't mix with those sour Confucians in the future, you are also from a family of half military generals." Cheng Biting Jin was annoyed and ashamed, and slapped Xuan Shijing on the head lightly.

"Hey, Lao Cheng, don't break the child, you don't have a serious hand." Qin Qiong grabbed Cheng Jin's arm and said.

"Hey, hey." Xuan Shijing smiled innocently: "What are you uncles discussing, just now the little nephew saw that you were chatting so hotly." ”

"What else can there be, this year's Turkic war, after the Turkic battle, my northern Tang Dynasty has temporarily settled down." Cheng Yanjin said, with a slight regret in his tone.

It is a pity that if it is certain in the north, there are very few opportunities for military generals to lead troops to go out again

Of course, Xuan Shijing could guess what Cheng Yanjin was thinking, and said: "Uncle Cheng's bravery, the little nephew has seen it with his own eyes, a good general like Uncle Cheng, are you afraid that there will be no fight?" Surrounded by Goguryeo, the Wa Kingdom, the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the west, and the Tubo nested on the plateau, there are still so many fierce beasts lurking around the Tang Dynasty for Uncle Cheng to hunt. ”

The five people around were all military generals, and after listening to Xuan Shijing's words, they laughed for a moment.

"Xiao Shijing, the war between countries is not just about fighting, first, once the war starts, the people who suffer the most are the people, and my Tang Erlang's life is precious; Second, the most important thing in fighting a war is that the teacher is famous, and wherever he can say that he is fighting, he will fight, if this is the case, the world will not be chaotic. ”

Xuan Shijing stuck out his tongue, can you tell this group of people now, our Datang is surrounded by a group of white-eyed wolves that are not well raised? Even if the military generals want to happily go out to lead the troops to fight and transfer the credit, how can the Wenchen side agree, the dispute between the civil and military has been going on for a long time, and throughout the history books, Li Shimin is really just right for the balance between the civil and the military.

At this time, a waiter walked out of the Taiji Palace, stood at the door of the main hall, and shouted loudly: "The Great Dynasty Meeting begins, and all the ministers will meet ~~~"

"Let's go, we're going to get started." Qin Qiong led Xuan Shijing's little hand and walked towards the Taiji Palace.

Entered the Tai Chi Palace, the civil and military are separated, kneeling in the hall, the officials below the five grades of the Great Dynasty will not be qualified to enter the palace, even so, there is a sense of overcrowding in the Tai Chi Palace, because most of the nobles in Chang'an City always have so many loose posts on their heads, and although these loose nobles do not need to go to the court on weekdays, but when it comes to such an important occasion as the Great Dynasty Meeting, it is necessary to attend, the entire Taiji Palace, only Xuan Shijing is a child, in the crowd of people in purple official uniforms, Xuan Shijing is dressed in moon white clothes, It's very eye-catching.

In itself, Xuan Shijing is the founding marquis of Li Shimin, who belongs to the third grade, but has no official position, so Xuan Shijing does not participate in the court meeting, it is a very tangled matter, two years ago, Cheng Yanjin personally went to the Hou Mansion to pick up Xuan Shijing into the palace to participate, and sent someone to pass the word before this year.

Just go, Xuan Shijing didn't feel at ease, anyway, as he said, if you go, just go through the motions and make soy sauce.

Cheng Yanjin wants Xuan Shijing to participate in the court meeting also has his thoughts, Xuan Shijing is still young after all, this family is in Chang'an, and His Majesty must pay attention to them all the time, and he can't lose the emperor's favor, if there is no His Majesty to take care of him, a noble can bully them casually in Chang'an City, and it is not easy to interfere in the Lu Guogong Mansion and the Yiguo Mansion, with His Majesty's grace, those dishonest people in Chang'an City can honestly not reach out to the Hou Mansion.

Cheng Biting Jin is also afraid, afraid of the Xuan family's connections in the rivers and lakes, although it is said that Xuan Mingde is dead, but the prestige in the rivers and lakes is still there, the Wang family has been operating openly and secretly over the years, and the people on the rivers and lakes are the most righteous.

Li Chengqian, who was standing at the top, was dressed in a pale yellow four-clawed dragon robe, and when he saw Xuan Shijing, he smiled at him with eyebrows, and after Li Tai found out, he looked like he gave you a look of your own experience.

Xuan Shijing only felt a little funny, he didn't seem to provoke Li Tai, right?

Li Shimin was dressed in a crown and sat at the head of the hall.

"The ministers have seen Your Majesty, long live our emperor." All the servants bowed their heads and bowed.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty did not prostrate to bow down to the ceremony, only in major festivals, only the ceremonial symbolic worship of the emperor, on weekdays or when the court, the courtiers only need to bow to the emperor, unlike the later generations, at every turn to "ask the emperor for peace" posture, which makes Xuan Shijing a little impressed.

"All love is exempt." Li Shimin said.

The next big court meeting, to put it bluntly, is a meeting, and then the emperor invites guests to dinner, bringing the relationship between the monarch and the minister closer, in fact, it is nothing more than counting some of the things that happened in the three years of Zhenguan, and the auspicious gifts from all over the country are also presented to the court.

The eldest grandson Wuji's recital is full of praises, complex and long, listening to Xuan Shijing drowsy, originally slept late yesterday, and got up so early this morning, even if he is an adult, he will feel tired, not to mention a child, it feels like taking a high school political class

It has to be said that the Tang Dynasty guarded by Li Shimin's ministers in the third year of Zhenguan has indeed been difficult all the way, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was very weak at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the previous war consumed ten rooms and nine empty in the Central Plains, even in the Wude years, the country was also spent in large and small counterinsurgency, and the internal friction was not stopped, and the northern Turks were eyeing each other, until His Royal Highness Li Er succeeded to the throne and took over this mess, a locust plague shook the land of Kyushu, and the folk rumors about the improper way of His Majesty Li Er's throne were boiling, forced Li Er to stand on the gate tower of Chang'an City and swallow locusts raw. After a period of recuperation, he was able to send troops to fight against the Turks.

In August of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Jingguan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, visited the head of the march, Zhang Gongjin was the deputy commander, led the troops to conquer the Turks, and the first battle was broken, and the Turks led three thousand cavalry to the Tang Dynasty, and since then, the biggest threat to the north, the Turks, have fallen apart. Subsequently, the chieftains such as Bayegu, Fugu, and Xi also led their troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Li Jing's name as the god of the Tang Dynasty is well deserved,

When he heard the military mention of the war against the Turks, Xuan Shijing cheered up, and sure enough, the military or something can make people's blood boil, and for the internal affairs that the eldest grandson Wuji said, Xuan Shijing is really not interested.

From early morning to now, the sun has risen higher and higher, and judging from the sunlight shining into the main hall, it is close to noon at this time, that is to say, at the great court meeting, the courtiers made speeches and talked all morning.

It turned out that the tradition of giving speeches at this conference was also handed down by the ancestors, Xuan Shijing said in his belly, his stomach was already hungry, the thief looked around, moved his small body between Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Qiong, and after confirming that others could not see him, his little hand reached into his arms
