The door of the Datong Hall slowly opened, the flags were waved under the stone steps, and the armor of the Praetorian Guards was shining.

Ranks and rows of officers and men of different branches of the armed forces were neatly aligned. I am a Tang Dynasty soldier, and I am a mighty Chinese man!

The spearmen sharpened the spears in their hands and shiny with the red tassels on their heads as if to show off the glory of the former battlefield.

The iron shield in the shieldman's hand is hard and strong, blocking the enemy's arrows and guns.

The cavalry's horses sang loudly, and the Tang swords in their hands made a sonorous sound.

The soldiers on the chariot looked down at everything in front of them, and they unabashedly flaunted their superiority.

Good poetry, good poetry, Li Ji thought to himself. He really wanted to share this heartfelt sigh with everyone.

The envoys of the feudal town were all stunned, and they all stood up involuntarily. I didn't expect that in a short period of time, the imperial court would be so powerful.

Just looking at these mighty divisions, who is the opponent in the world.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! ......" The soldiers, under the command of Linghu Yunlong, let out a cry that made the heavens and the earth change color.

Prime Minister Dugu couldn't help but sigh: "Strong! Great! ”

The reason why Li Ji chose the banquet of the Datong Hall was because he came here to eat for himself. Moreover, the gate of the Datong Hall is huge, and there is a square that can accommodate 10,000 people under the nine steps outside the hall.

The door of the temple opened, and from the inside of the hall, there was a scene of Jin Ge Iron Horse outside the hall.

For the empress dowager's birthday, Li Ji had already instructed Linghu Yunlong to put him in charge of the training of the forbidden army.

Similar to today's military parades, in order to show off their strength to outsiders.

Sure enough, the envoys of the feudal town were all suppressed, and Zhao Kuangning was secretly shocked in his heart, but fortunately he made a wise choice to take refuge in the imperial court. No one can do this formation.

Li Cunmiao was even more secretly frightened: No wonder his father has always kept a low profile and not to show his edge. The forbidden army of this court is too terrible, although there is no fight, from the morale of these soldiers alone, they have no certainty of victory, it seems that Zhu Wen's defeat to the Son of Heaven is fate.

Wang Zongyan, the second son of Wang Jianpai, was also taken aback, his father betrayed Zhaozong back then. It seems that this new emperor is even more difficult to deal with, but fortunately, the Xichuan he occupies is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the imperial court will not start a war against him first even if he cuts the domain, and he will just adapt to the situation when the time comes.

The rest of the envoys sent by Yang Xingmi, Luo Shaowei, Ma Yin, Zhong Chuan and others were also taken aback, the purpose of their trip was to spy on the truth of the imperial court, and by the way, to show off their strength on the occasion of their birthday. I never thought that as soon as I came, the Son of Heaven came to dismount, and the King of Jin and the King of Qi were disgraced, and it seems that the life of the feudal towns will not be easy in the future.

Li Ji was very satisfied, even the Empress Dowager He was taken aback, she whispered in Li Ji's ear: "Ji'er, when did you get such a big formation?"

Li Ji smiled slightly: "Auntie, the child is amazing, right?"

Every child wants to be praised by their parents, and Li Ji is no different. It seems that the past few months have not been in vain, and he ordered the Empress Dowager Linghu Yunlong to give the feudal towns a dismount outside the Datong Hall on the day of her birthday, and it seems that the effect is good.

Empress Dowager He nodded: "You are stronger than your father."

This is a heartfelt admiration, and Li Ji is even more ecstatic.

What surprised him even more was that Ling Hu Yunlong also practiced a set of formations, and he saw a wave of the Ling Qi in his hand. The Praetorian Guard soldiers, swordsmen, axemen, spearmen, archers, cavalry shieldmen, and others immediately moved. They crossed and quickly changed formations. Slogans are shouted on the lips, and there is no confusion under the feet.

Originally, the spearmen were in front, but after such a change, the spearmen were in the back and the cavalry was in front. Behind the cavalry were chariots, axemen, shieldmen, etc.

Linghu Yunlong Lingqi waved again, and rows of archers stood in front of him.

The Datong Hall sits in the north and faces south, the east side is the drum tower, and the west side is a row of wooden walls that are temporarily built with wooden planks.

Linghu Yunlong pointed the flag to the west, and the archers took the feather arrows from the quiver on their backs, and bent their bows and arrows to the wooden wall on the west side.

Ling Fox Yunlong shouted: "Attack!"

"Whoosh! ......", countless arrows rose into the sky, dense like a rain of arrows.

"Huh!" Almost simultaneously shot at that row of wooden walls, and the wooden walls immediately became hedgehogs.

Linghu Yunlong continued to command, and the archers flew with arrows. Anyway, you don't need to be on the head, there is such a big wooden wall opposite, you can shoot with your eyes closed.

After a while, the entire wooden wall was densely packed with feathered arrows. It was like carpet archery, and everyone in the audience had a change of color on their faces.

The formation changes back and forth, which is dazzling. However, all branches of the armed forces are neatly aligned and there is no confusion at all.

What everyone admires is not how powerful these forbidden troops are, but the ability to train this new army so neatly in such a short period of time and do the order and prohibit it shows the ability of the commander.

The capital is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the Son of Heaven has his own divine blessing. The envoys of the feudal towns were devastated, and it seemed that the heavens would not die.

The last dish of the banquet was this cake dessert, and everyone here had tasted such a fluffy, delicious, melt-in-your-mouth fragrant cake, and the taste was really like the children next door crying.

There are a lot of gifts paid tribute by the feudal towns, all of which are local products, and there are countless ancient treasures and famous paintings and calligraphy.

As the feast drew to a close, the messengers dispersed. There are also smart people, such as Yang Wei, the second son of Yang Xingmi, who came to Li Jidian and bowed: "Minister Yang Wei has seen Your Majesty."

Next to him, the Empress Dowager He knew him, so she introduced to Li Ji: "Emperor, this is Yang Wei, the second son of King Wu." Full of poetry and books, quite intelligent, King Wu is very happy to have this good child. ”

Yang Wei hurriedly humbled: "The queen mother praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed."

Li Ji didn't give him a good face: "Well, your name is Yang Wei, I remember."

Yang Wei respectfully made another big salute: "Your Majesty, the minister heard His Majesty's heroic posture in Luzhou, and exterminated the traitor Zhu Quanzhong." I admire it in my heart, and it is a great blessing to see the face of heaven today. ”

Li Ji smiled coldly: "It's just Zhu Quanzhong, what a way."

Yang Wei was shocked in his heart, this emperor is really powerful, a Zhu Wen is not in his eyes at all, so his goal is to eliminate the feudal town and seize the world sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of rice in Jianghuai. The minister is willing to send rice from the land of Jianghuai to the capital to trade with Beijing, and ask His Majesty for permission. ”

Li Ji was slightly surprised, this Yang Wei is amazing, he is the first feudal town willing to trade with the imperial court.

Fearing that the imperial court would become bigger, the feudal towns in various regions issued orders prohibiting the outflow of grain and other commodities, and those big grain merchants often risked killing their heads to smuggle grain to the capital to trade. It is a good thing that King Wu was willing to propose trade.

However, Li Ji also knows that he has nothing to do, and he is either a traitor or a thief. The other party must have a purpose: "I can agree to this, what do you want?"

"Your Majesty," Yang Wei arched his hand: "The minister is fortunate to have a taste of fairy corn at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and he fell for it." The minister asked His Majesty to give the minister corn seeds, and the minister wanted to try planting them in the Jianghuai region. ”

Yang Wei, who is so powerful, can he see that this corn yield is huge. Want to open up the circulation of grain in exchange for corn seeds, hehe.

Li Ji nodded: "Yes, it's just that this corn is difficult to plant, I don't know if Jianghuai is suitable." If Aiqing says so, I will give you a car. ”

Yang Wei was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"

In fact, once this plant seed is popularized in the capital, you can't stop it from flowing out. It was only a matter of time before it spread to the feudal town, but by the time it spread all over the world, Li Ji would already have the ability to cut the feudal domain.

Didn't this Yang Wei want seeds, I will give them to you. Anyway, you don't know how to plant it, and Lao Tzu won't give you ripe cornseeds, so I'll give you this kind of immature tender corn seeds.

Young corn is not yet ripe, and it is delicious when used for steaming, but it cannot be used for seeding at all. Anyway, he doesn't understand, and he can't grow it if he gives it to him. Even if it is barely planted, the growth will not be very good, and it will not be a year or two for it to spread.

In fact, where did Yang Wei know what kind of high-yield crop this corn was, he heard Li Ji say at the banquet that this thing came from overseas Xianshan, and taking it could prolong life. He believed it to be true, thinking that if this thing was brought to Jianghuai for trial, it would be able to eat every day.

Longevity, this is a baby. Of course, the reason why Yang Wei agreed to open up trade was not for the sake of these grains of corn, he was one of the few things that could not be done at all to prohibit the outflow of grain.

Driven by profits, countless people will take risks. Who doesn't know how to sell grain to the capital to make money, no matter how you forbid it, someone will smuggle it.

Rather than banning the circulation of grain like other feudal towns, it is better to open up the grain market. The Jianghuai occupied by Yang Xingmi is the richest land of fish and rice, and there is a lot of grain.

Transporting grain to the capital can also stimulate one's own economy, such as iron smelting, weapons, coins, and so on.

He was willing to trade with the imperial court, and Li Ji's face was much better for him: "Well, Yang Wei, you go back and tell your father." As long as you treat me faithfully, I won't forget you. ”

Yang Wei was overjoyed, and bowed to the ground: "The minister thanked His Majesty for his father, and he didn't dare to forget the Son of Heaven Longen!"

Li Ji waved his hand: "Go down."

The Queen Mother's birthday came to a perfect end, and the feudal towns finally knew that the court was not easy to mess with, and the Son of Heaven was not easy to mess with. Zhu Wen's defeat to Li Ji was no accident, even Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, was not an opponent, and they were even more difficult to match.

Among them, the most worried are the most powerful Jin King Li Keyong and Xichuan Wang Jian, these big vassal kings, these people are all ambitious emperors, and now the court is so strong, they must find a way.

So, Li Cunmiao, who returned to the post station, met several messengers.

It was a top-secret meeting, with the soldiers guarding the outside, and the envoys of the feudal towns discussing how to deal with each other's court.

Guangwangfu, the prodigal son Zhu Youneng is holding a pair of reading glasses.

"Dad, you put this on and take a look."

Zhu Quanyu looked at the transparent object: "What is this?"

"Dad, do you have dazzling eyes? Put it on and you'll see it clearly. ”

"Get out! My eyes are good. ”

Zhu Youneng was a little depressed, and the first glasses failed to sell. Not every old man has presbyopia, Zhu Quanyu is in good spirits.
