Chapter 628: The Longest Wax Moon and New Year's Day

Chapter 628 The longest wax moon and the new day

The Tang was an open dynasty.

Although it is not like Emperor Yang of Sui, he shows the generosity of a loser to foreigners, but, in general, the thriving Tang Dynasty is still welcome to foreigners. There were countless Hu merchants in the east and west markets, and countless foreign envoys were stationed in Chang'an City. The only difference is that there are no official embassies or anything like that.

If the distant envoy has the approval of the king of his country, has money on him, and can indeed find an excuse to stay, then as long as he is not a traitor, it is definitely not difficult to stay in Chang'an City for a year and a half. Of course, the envoy of this year is also one of the institutions for spy ambushes, although it is impossible to sneak into departments such as the general prison or the Ordnance Department, but it is still possible to inquire a little about the information. In the month of Layue, the number of such foreigners reached an unprecedented number.

At the beginning of the New Year's handover, the biggest news is undoubtedly the handover of the old and the new in Datang, although there are countless people who are not optimistic about the handover of the old and the new this time, but no one is qualified to hinder this day, not even the Empress Wu. As for Li Xian, who did not expect this situation at first, in addition to feeling the earth-shaking effect of the butterfly's wings, he also had to "conscientiously" complete his duties.

The Li Jia he brought back made the entire Yongwangdi fall into jubilation, and the enthusiasm of a group of women for their children simply made him, a husband, feel jealous. At the same time, Li Xulun, Li Lingyue, Shangguan Wan'er, and Awei who came together also became the treasures of the women, and while a few little guys were happy, it meant that he, the real master, was completely left out.

In addition to playing prestige when he was a teacher, he became a completely ignored crowd. Moreover, Lao Liu's strong return added the most powerful tightening spell to his head. Because. His title of Zhongshu Ling was given by Lao Liu Tou, and the taste of supervision after being stared at in the ass in the past few days made him bitter.

Liu Renliang's Shangshu Zuo Servant is actually a member of the Political Affairs Hall, however, the old Liu Tou, who has returned this time, seems to have lost interest in government affairs, and seems to care less about his official status as an official in the East Palace, but has taken on the heavy responsibility of supervising Li Xian, and has no awareness of fighting in the ring with the Empress Wu - in fact, there is really no ring to fight now.

Because there are still three days before the New Year's Day, that is, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has actually begun to approach the dynasty again! is not only in the dynasty, but also seems to make up for the previous life of the shopkeeper. Li Zhi actually grasped the military and the government, but not only did he take care of everything. Moreover, several prime ministers in the political hall had to take turns to go together in order to stand up to the emperor's endless problems.

Could it be that after a month of recuperation, Emperor Li was reborn and more shrewd? Some people even whispered behind their backs about the succession ceremony on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. No one can figure out whether such a major event, which has made the officials of the Ministry of Rites work for many days, will fall short at the last moment.

The transition of the throne is always the darkest and most dangerous moment, which is basically an unbreakable truth.

With the high-profile comeback of Emperor Li, Li Hong, the crown prince, also made a low-key comeback, but compared with the previous East Palace Supervisor, his handling intensity has been weakened by more than a star and a half. Many people know this, but those who don't understand it occupy the majority. And after Li Zhen's attempted rebellion. Some people even discovered that the earth-shattering changes that had occurred between Yulin Army and Jin Wuwei.

Li Xian led the left feather forest, and Li Xian led the right feather forest - although nominally the two brothers led the Son of Heaven Janissaries. But considering Li Xian's nature, people have to think that there is only one de facto leader of this Yulin Army.

Meanwhile. The left and right Jinwuwei generals and generals stepped down one after another, Cheng Yanjin's youngest son Cheng Chubi took over as the right Jinwu general, and Zhou Daowu, the eldest princess of Linchuan who was urgently recalled from the northwest, took over as the general of Zuo Jinwu. At the same time, Cheng Bohu was appointed as the prince's left guard, and Xue Dingshan was appointed as the prince's right guard, this strange arrangement made countless people dumbfounded.

Seem...... It seems that these people are inextricably linked to Li Xian, the king of Yong!

For this statement, Li Xian simply scoffed.

The second eldest of the Cheng family married Taizong's daughter, Princess Qinghe, who was a royal relative, not his alone, and Zhou Daowu was also the brother-in-law of the emperor Laozi. As for this staffing arrangement...... It was his emperor Lao Tzu who had a brain fever for a while, what does it have to do with him?

Of course, the personnel arrangement between Cheng Bohu and Xue Dingshan is a little strange, but once the prince becomes the son of heaven, this arrangement will be null and void, so do you need to worry so much?

The last three days of the lunar month passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Day. Although the arrival of this New Year should be lively, but this year has not had the habit of the Spring Festival, not so much that the New Year is a great dynasty, it is better to say that the first day of the month is like this, compared to the fifteenth day of the first month, the first day of the first month is not a big festival, but because of the New Year, the emperor wants to summon a lot of foreign envoys.

From the Tianzhu Great Eclipse in the west, to the Silla Goguryeo Baekje in the east, to the Chenla Gamma Sabo in the south, and to the Tubo Tuyuhun in the west

All the Hui tribes sent envoys to Chang'an. At this time, it is suspected that it is indeed the crown of all nations, and the magnificence of that scene is so magnificent that even Li Xian has seen it many times, and he feels quite complacent when he stands on it.

Of course, he didn't know that his radiant expression had a strange meaning in the eyes of countless officials below.

However, in such a harmonious atmosphere, some people seem to have a heart to get through. Among the envoys who presented congratulatory gifts in turn, among the countless congratulatory messages that sang the praises of virtue, an earth-shattering voice suddenly came out: "My king Mutian is a saint, and I am willing to follow the example of the ancestor and ask to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

These words were like magnets, and for a while, countless eyes focused on that side, and there was a buzzing discussion towards the scald. Li Xian inevitably looked at that guy vulgarly, and immediately remembered that this was from Tubo, and his heart suddenly tightened. Soon, the Empress Wu on the throne raised her hand to signal silence. When the atmosphere calmed down, the envoy took a step forward, bent down very humbly, and re-expressed his "good" intention to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

This matter of marrying the princess has been done by many foreign envoys, which is not surprising, but the problem is that this Tibetan envoy is already the third time. The first two times were fruitless, but this time they relentlessly brought it up again, which shows the strength of the tenacity. Considering that Tubo is becoming stronger and stronger and Tuyuhun is only relying on the help of the Tang Dynasty to survive, many people think that such a thing should be considered.

No princess? There are a lot of county lords in the Tang Dynasty, and it is very easy to seal a princess!

However, as if he had guessed the thoughts of many people, the envoy bowed deeply in front of everyone: "My king is now only married to a little concubine, and I am willing to marry the princess of the Taiping Dynasty of the Heavenly Dynasty and ensure the eternal peace of the Tang Dynasty and Tibet!" ”

The court suddenly fell into an unparalleled silence, and everyone's expressions were frozen at the moment when the four words Princess Taiping just came into their ears, and Li Xian thought that there was something wrong with his ears. Regardless of other messy factors for the time being, his sister Li Lingyue is only seven years old now! Even according to the law of a Tang Dynasty woman who is fifteen years old and married, there will be at least eight years before she gets married, and this Tubo is now coming to propose, is this going to marry a young girl and go back to be Zanmeng?

He couldn't help but secretly glanced sideways at the emperor and his wife, Daddy Li Zhi frowned, that kind of anger couldn't be concealed at all; However, just looking at the two hands tightly held on the dragon robe, he almost laughed in public. Among them, the white and plump hand naturally does not belong to others, and only his calm mother can suppress the anger of Emperor Lao Tzu at such a time.

Although his anger was suppressed by his wife, Li Zhi's tone still showed a little displeasure: "If I am not mistaken, Tubo Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan is already over twenty years old, and my Taiping princess is still young, how can I get married?" ”

The envoy was still not in a hurry: "The Tang Dynasty is a big country in the Celestial Empire, and there are often people who are in the right family to marry each other at a young age. ”

Yes, this answer was obviously prepared for a long time! Li Xian couldn't help but sneer at this moment, you must know that although the marriage contract in these years is solid, it is difficult to say what is going on between countries. Don't say what will happen in eight years, just one year or two years, who can say for sure? In other words, what is the use of such a thing that is not beneficial to Tibet at all?

However, the envoy quickly added another layer of doubt to him, as well as to the vast number of civil and military officials and foreign envoys in the entire court: "My king is willing to take my young sister and ten noble daughters of the Wulu clan as princess servants to show my king's sincerity." ”

Doubts and doubts were added, and Emperor Li finally couldn't bear it anymore. However, looking at the majority of the ministers' blank faces, even the wife beside him, who seemed to be able to solve everything, fell into deep thought, and he could only use extremely skilful official rhetoric to perfunctory the past.

Next, the Tibetan envoys did not retreat, but began to read a lengthy gift list, in which the things given to the Tang Dynasty Emperor were of course a long list, and at the same time, they were also precious to the crown prince Li Hong. Li Xian, who listened carefully, suddenly changed his face after the final calculation-this guy is definitely deliberate, there are more than a dozen gifts for the crown prince than for the emperor, not to mention, and the preciousness is still excessive!

Emperor Li did not seem to notice, or rather, he did not show any other emotions at least except for pleasure. However, after the lengthy Zhengdan Dynasty meeting finally came to an end, the Tang Dynasty Emperor immediately lost the happy mask on his face and lost his temper in annoyance. And this time, Empress Wu personally went up to persuade him, and Li Xian had nothing to do so he took his leave first.

Going back to deal with the well-informed Li Lingyue is secondary, the question is, is the situation in Tubo that the country is stable and ready to move?
