The soldiers in the wooden fence also beat the war drums with all their might, and the passionate drums sounded like a huge thunder that resounded in the sky, which shocked everyone dumbfounded.

Li Shimin couldn't wait to be standing on it, he glared at Lao Cheng fiercely, why didn't you say such an interesting thing earlier? Whatever you say, I have to try it first.

The eldest grandson Wujian grew up with a red little mouth in surprise, Cheng Zhijie said that he could let her fly into the sky one day, but he didn't expect this dream to come true in front of his eyes.

Li Yuan, as well as the ministers of civil and military affairs, as well as the envoys of various countries, as well as the people of Chang'an who participated in the event, raised their heads one by one, and their jaws almost did not fall.

Cheng Zhijie saw everyone's performance and shouted: "Your Majesty Hongfu! Heaven for congratulations! Long live Datang! ”

The people and ministers who were watching the ceremony also shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Blessings! Heaven for congratulations! Long live Datang! Long live Datang! Long live Datang! ”

Those foreign envoys were all pale, not knowing what to do, and the miracle of flying made them wonder if the Tang Dynasty was really favored by heaven. In particular, the Turkic envoys, as the leaders of many foreign envoys, were arrogant, thinking about the flaws in the Tang Dynasty celebration, and ready to see jokes.

I didn't expect that the merger of the Great Demon Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty gave them a blow in the face; Then, before they could react, Datang's flying operation completely silenced them.

"Celebration parade, begin! Please stand up and raise the Tang Dragon Flag! Cheng Zhijie yelled, and then the arranged soldiers followed him and yelled loudly.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and helped the Emperor Li Yuan to stand up. The ministers of civil and military affairs next to him and the spectators who were watching the ceremony also quickly stood up, and the envoys looked at each other and stood up reluctantly.

"Wow! Revile! Revile! "Three soldiers with a height of nine feet walked neatly, even meticulously, and slowly came to the Suzaku Gate. With the sound of King Qin's breaking array music, the soldiers in the middle shook off the dragon flag and slowly raised the dragon flag against the rising sun.

The music stopped, the dragon flag was raised to the top at the same time, and the three soldiers turned around and stood in front of the flag like javelins. They stood there motionless as if they were carved clay sculptures of wood, without even blinking their eyes.

"Good!" Li Shimin couldn't stop applauding excitedly, and there were cheers around him.

Cheng Zhijie rode his fire-like rainbow war horse, and slowly came to the Vermilion Bird Gate, he slammed his chest and roared loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the review troops have been prepared, please review!" ”

Li Shimin nodded heavily and said, "Okay!" Begin! ”

"Yes~" Cheng Zhijie shouted loudly, turned the horse's head and galloped away, "Let's start!" The first queue is forward! ”

A roar was heard in the distance, and then loud footsteps sounded on the east side of Suzaku Street, remembering a huge queue of 50 people slowly approaching.

They were as straight as they were pulled out of rope, and they were exactly the same when they raised their hands and threw their feet.

"Look to the right—" shouted the three soldiers at the front, and the spearman in the lead jerked his spear from their hands, slashing into the sky.

The fast and slow pauses of this series of movements are completely consistent, and the sound of raising guns, raising guns, and stabbing guns shocks the eyes and ears of this crowd.

"Wow! Revile! Revile! While looking up at Li Shimin to the right, the troops also changed to a more imposing and louder pace. Without experiencing it and seeing it with your own eyes, it's impossible to understand what kind of shock it was.

Li Shimin trembled, he let go of the old emperor Li Yuan, and slammed into the battlements of the city wall, wanting to see more clearly.

Li Yuan was also shocked, and he didn't care about his son's faux pas, so he also rushed to the front of the city tower. The ministers, and the people who watched the ceremony were equally excited; The foreign envoys quietly wiped the sweat from their heads.

After the pikemen passed, they were followed by shield soldiers, sword soldiers, crossbowmen, light cavalry, and finally 50 Xuanjia cavalry.

When these soldiers walked through the Suzaku gate little by little in a neat procession, Li Shimin took a deep breath and came back to his senses. The ministers of civil and military affairs next to him, the people watching the ceremony, and the envoys of various countries all took a deep breath and came back to their senses.

In the back was a celebratory procession of people, holding garlands in their hands and wearing bright clothes, they slowly walked in front of the Suzaku Gate and bowed like Li Shimin to show respect.

Li Shimin had regained his usual calmness, and he stood on the city tower and slowly waved to the crowd shuttling below. The celebration lasted until noon.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin held a grand state banquet to entertain civil, military, and military officials and envoys from various countries.

This state banquet lasted until the evening, and Li Shimin invited everyone to the city tower again; Everyone was already full of anticipation for today's celebration, and they had just sat down when colorful fireworks burst into the sky, bursting into the sky with a beautiful fireworks.

Cheng Zhijie has retreated behind the scenes, he quietly accompanies his wife, commentators on the gorgeous fireworks in the sky. Where have the people of Chang'an seen such a grand occasion, they almost didn't kneel on the ground and pray like a god.

These foreign envoys were dumbfounded, secretly wondering if Datang had been protected by the heavens, so he could conjure such beautiful magic.

When the fireworks show was over, everyone was reluctant to leave for a long time, Li Shimin came to Cheng Zhijie's side with his eldest grandson Wuji, and saw that he was reminiscing about today's celebration with several wives.

"Fifth brother, how about we do it again?"

Cheng Zhijie was stunned and said: "Your Majesty, if there are more such celebrations, there will be a suspicion of labor and money; And if there are more, it will no longer be mysterious, no longer fresh; There can no longer be such a powerful deterrent. I think it's better for us to have it once in a while. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Then how often do you think it's better?" Is it okay to come once a year? ”

"Why should Your Majesty be so anxious? It is more appropriate to follow the minister's meaning once every ten years. ”

"Ten years, how many decades are there in life? Isn't it a little too long? ”

"Hahaha, Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the days to come are long, why be in such a hurry?"

"What the fifth brother said also makes sense, by the way, you promised that we would fly into the sky, today this big guy can finally take people to fly, why didn't you tell me earlier, let me try the feeling of flying first."

Cheng Zhijie sweated and said: "Your Majesty, this hot air balloon is not very mature, and it is very restricted by the weather; We are now taking a big risk in ascending to heaven. Today, it is also His Majesty's fortune that succeeded by luck.

If His Majesty rushes up, there is really an accident, and the minister will be to blame. However, His Majesty promised that the hot air balloon would be stabilized within a year; Let Your Majesty be able to overlook the splendid rivers and mountains of my Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. ”

Li Shimin nodded at this time, and returned to the palace with the eldest grandson Wujian with some unfinished looks. Cheng Zhijie also took his wife and children back to the mansion given by Li Shimin in Chang'an.

"Demon King, Your Majesty ordered you to assassinate the history of Youzhou, the military of the six states of Youzhou, Yi, Tan, Ping, Yan, and Fei, when are you going to take office in Youzhou."

Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "I have to discuss this with Your Majesty." However, I guess we'll have to wait until the Great Demon Kingdom is completely merged. The main purpose of my Youzhou assassination history is to attack the Turks in the future, and it doesn't make much sense to take office now. ”

Cui Yu tidied up his clothes for him and said, "Then take a good rest, don't always think of yourself as invincible; The throne has already been relinquished, isn't it just to have a good rest? There's no need to make yourself so tired. You see you've been busier these days than when you were the Demon King? ”

"That's what the lady said! When the Great Demon Kingdom is completely integrated with the Tang Dynasty, I, the Demon King, should slowly withdraw from the stage of history. ”

Sure enough, because there are a lot of things in the Great Demon Kingdom that need to be dealt with. Li Shimin did not rush to let Cheng Zhijie go to Youzhou to take up his post, but handed over the affairs of Youzhou to Cheng Zhijie's deputy Niu Tong.

Cheng Zhijie sat in Chang'an to coordinate the merger of the Great Demon Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty. Because the work done in the early stage is sufficient, there is a buffer time of 3 to 5 years; Therefore, the people of the Great Demon Kingdom did not have much resistance to returning to the Tang Dynasty.

First, Zhang Shigui, the governor of Jilin Prefecture, then Ling Jing, the governor of Yingzhou, and Li Jing, the governor of Lingnan, who had already arrived in Chang'an, spoke out in support of the action of the demon king Chitose. Then the naval marshal Zhang Ding and the army marshal Qin Qiong both ordered their troops to change their numbers and become the Tang Army.

Then the local officials of the Great Demon Kingdom also followed suit, and came out to explain the policy. The propaganda team even went out in all directions, calling on everyone to obey the command and realize national reunification as soon as possible.

After the officials of the Tang Dynasty came, they basically followed Xiao Gui Cao, and did not change the policy of the Great Demon Kingdom, coupled with the appeal of the Demon King Cheng Zhijie, so the people of the Great Demon Kingdom did not have much resistance to this, and the unification proceeded smoothly.

Therefore, Li Shimin divided the world into 12 provinces for management, which are the collective names of Guannei, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Shannan, Longyou, Huainan, Jiangnan, Jiannan, Lingnan, Liaodong, and Yingzhou.

Then Li Shimin moved many people from Guanzhong and the Central Plains to the south, and sent Li Jing as an envoy to Lingnan and Jiangnan Jiedu, responsible for developing Jiangnan and establishing a new grain base.

He also wants to promote the advanced policies of the Great Demon Kingdom to the world, such as free Mongolian education and the gradual popularization of primary education.

However, this incident caused an uproar in society, especially the crazy opposition of those families, and some areas they controlled could not be promoted at all.

Li Shimin: "Smack! He smashed the water cup in his hand and tore the strip in front of him to pieces. Bastards, they only have their own family in their eyes, where is the existence of this country? They're all damned! ”19
