Chapter 187: The World Is So Big

Since her last wedding, Princess Liang has been recognized as the first beauty in Chang'an, and her beauty, figure, and life experience have become one of the focuses of people's gossip. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's a great pleasure to see such a beautiful woman. It's a pity that there is no video in this era, and as a princess, idlers can't see other people's faces.

This time, Princess Liang's dark clouds came out again, and everyone's eyes were projected on her at once.

I saw that she was wearing a white dress with crisp breasts and tall breasts. She wears a pair of close-fitting trousers under her gauze skirt and a pair of high-heeled leather shoes on her feet. Accentuate her figure. With fair skin, pretty faces, and upright demeanor, the men of the Tang Dynasty are straight-eyed and the women are red-faced.

Li Ke and Li Tai's eyes were hooked, and now they had forgotten that she was one of their enemies, and they couldn't help but admire in their hearts.

Li Su and Qibi Wuyun stood in the center of the hall and made an appearance, and this moment of solemnity was like a sculpture, engraved in the hearts of everyone.

Moved, they moved. Forward, backward, and spinning, the two gracefully display the beautiful dance steps of the waltz. Pause, move, rotate, spin again, under the guidance of Li Su, the clouds are like a white butterfly, fluttering and fluttering.

The people were all dumbfounded, and the hall of hundreds of people was silent, only the music was wafting, and only the white elves were flying.

At this moment, people are all immersed in a beautiful and holy mood, without a trace of dirty psychology, only beauty and enjoyment.

Unconsciously, the music stopped, and Li Su and Qibi Wuyun made the final appearance. There was still no sound in the hall.

Suddenly, the people came to their senses, and the hall erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

Li Shimin asked: "Everyone watched the dance of King Liang and Princess Liang, and now, do you still think that they behave badly and are immoral?" ”

The people of the Tang Dynasty are simple and simple, most of them are relatively upright, and in the face of such wonderful sensual enjoyment, those impeached are a little ashamed of themselves and no longer speak out.

Even Li Ke and Li Tai were a little embarrassed, and they didn't give a hint to continue attacking.

Empress Changsun and the others were also moved by such a wonderful picture, and they couldn't help but express their admiration.

Next, Li Xiaogong personally took one of his young concubines to perform, Li Dan and Qibi Gaowa, Du He and Tian Zhen, Changsun Chong and Princess An Ning also came on the stage to cooperate, showing the form and effect of a normal ball.

Li Shimin was good at singing and dancing, liked music and rhythm, and immediately set ballroom dancing as one of the court dances.

Ballroom dancing quickly swept Chang'an City, and then spread to the whole country at lightning speed.

The boys and girls were very grateful to King Liang and Princess Liang for providing them with a good opportunity to contact each other. Since then, Datang has also performed more wonderful love stories, and a large number of beautiful love poems have emerged.

Li Ke and Li Tai were also obsessed with ballroom dancing and often held balls in the palace.

Before and after the Spring Festival, Li Shimin often summoned Liang Wang and his wife into the palace to discuss and exchange ballroom dance skills.

There is no perfect thing in the world, and ballroom dancing has won the love of the masses, but it has deeply broken the heart of the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian's leg is disabled, which is naturally inconvenient for ballroom dancing, and the ballroom dancing that swept the Tang Dynasty made him fall into a deeper inferiority complex.

Li Su was originally just joking with Li Xiaogong, but he didn't expect that things would make such a big fuss and affect Li Chengqian's mentality. But it's too late to regret it.

In fact, there are countless things in life that are more important than dancing, Li Chengqian is the prince, if he is broad-minded, a little disability on his leg does not affect people's respect for him at all, but unfortunately, he does not have the mind that an emperor should have.

Since then, there has been a rift in the relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Su.

Happy days go by quickly, and trouble is the eternal existence of life.

On this day, Li Su received news from the merchants of the Tiele tribe that the Western Turkic Khan had attacked his uncle Chilebegu and began his war to unify the Western Regions.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions in a narrow sense refers to the west of Yumen Pass and Yangguan, the east of the present-day Pamir Plateau, the east and south of Lake Balkhash and the vast area of Xinjiang. The Western Regions in a broad sense refers to all areas that can be reached through the Western Regions in a narrow sense, including the central and western regions of Asia.

The Western Regions later evolved into the western region of China, so Qinghai and Tibet also belong to the scope of the Western Regions. The scope of the "Western Regions" of the Qing Dynasty stretched from the west of Dunhuang in the east, to the Balkhash Lake and the Green Mountains in the west, to the Lhasa border in the south, to Russia and the Kazakh border in the north, and to the southwest of Qinghai and northern Tibet.

Since the fall of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains' control over the Western Regions has been virtually non-existent, and in the early years of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty no longer had a political power in the Western Regions.

Later, after a series of wars, the Tang Dynasty gradually took control of most of the Western Regions, and it paid a great price for this.

After inquiring about the information, Li Su found this problem, and he felt that he should start in advance against the Western Regions. So he gave Li Shimin a recital.

After receiving Li Su's report, Li Shimin paid attention to it, and he decided to convene a hearing to discuss the issues raised by Li Su.

Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.

Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng and Hou Junji listened to Li Su's report.

In front of Li Shimin and others, there was a blackboard with a huge world map hanging on it.

Li Su stood at the front of the map, pointed to a place marked with a red line in the center and said, "This is the Tang Dynasty." ”

There were about dozens of countries contemporaneous with the Tang Dynasty, mainly Goguryeo (Silla), Japan (Unu), Tianzhu (Brahmin), Sri Buddha, Keling, Boli, Maoren, Bi, Luzhenla, Shuizhenla, Linyi, Tocharo, Shalan, Duchu, Anguo, Shizi, Tubo, Byzantium (Eastern Roman Empire), Dashi (Arab Empire), etc.

The expressions on the faces of Li Shimin and the others were unbelievable, due to the limitation of knowledge, they originally thought that Datang was already very big, and the surrounding area of Datang was already a wild place, and then outward, especially the sea, was already the end of the world, but they didn't expect the world to be so big, and Datang was so small compared to the whole world.

Li Shimin blinked and said, "There are so many countries outside the Tang Dynasty? How powerful are they? ”

Li Su said: "Most of them are not as good as the Tang Dynasty, but the strength of the Great Food (Arab) Empire and Byzantium is about the same as that of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Next, he introduced the area, population, language and culture, resources and other aspects of these major countries.

Li Jing pointed to the edge of the map and asked, "Then how big is this place outside?" ”
