Shangyuan Festival, also known as Yuan Xi and Yuan Night, is the most lively time of the year in Chang'an City. Starting from the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the curfew is open for three consecutive days, and the streets and alleys are decorated with lights, whether it is the princes and nobles or ordinary people, everyone will carry flower lanterns to parade through the streets, beaming with joy.

This year's New Year's Eve is a little more lively than in previous years. Because of a series of happy events, the victory in the river brought a large number of gold and silver coins; Sihai Trading Company recruited 10,000 workers, so that many people who could not eat lived a good life; Emperor Longyan Dayue ordered the reduction of the annual rent of Jingzhao Mansion and 30% of the world, which made the people of Chang'an overjoyed.

On the day of New Year's Eve, many wealthy families bought two kinds of fireworks called Huoshu Honeysuckle and Starry Sky, which made this year's New Year's Eve more lively and festive than in previous years.

In addition, there is a greater happy event that has attracted the attention of all Chang'an people, that is, the sixteenth day of the first month after the Yuan Xi, the wedding of King Lanling.

The wedding began to be prepared intensely from a day ago, because there were too many people to come, and more than 20 neighbors of Qinrenfang, who were neighbors of King Lanling, also moved out temporarily.

Xiao Quai's soldiers, employees of the Sihai Trading Company, neighbors of the Quartet, powerful families of the Manchu Dynasty, officials of all sizes, even if they don't know each other, as long as they say a word of congratulations, they are also welcomed, and the entire northwest direction of Qinrenfang is a lively and festive scene.

The Lanling Palace has become a sea of flowers, and His Majesty the Emperor personally decreed that almost all the flowers in the Furong Garden of Huaqing Palace were moved here. Almost all the high-ranking officials came to congratulate them. Such a grand wedding is the first time in decades that Chang'an City has done so. It's really enviable.

When the welcoming team left Anyefang, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people. There are admiration, how many young men have made a grand wish on this night, hoping that one day they will be able to pay homage to the marquis, and the wedding will be in vain if there is such a beautiful scene;

There are also many young girls and young women who are crazy with envy and jealousy of He Ke'er, and their eyes are bright and watery when they see Xiao Qu's illness, and even scratch their heads and make gestures, frequently throwing flattering eyes. I hope to attract Xiao Quai's attention, the wife is hopeless, and it is a supreme blessing to be able to marry such a young hero as a concubine.

It's a pity that Xiao Quai's eyes swept over the crowd, but he didn't even look at them. Xiao Qubing is very nervous now, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is too strong, and he has to be beaten with a mallet when he goes to the woman's house to pick up the bride.

Poor Xiao Quai, the groom, as well as Li Qi, Li Sheng, Ma Sui, the three ministers, and the four generals who killed countless people on the battlefield, were chased and beaten by a group of women and ran all over the yard. But that's not all. On the way home to welcome relatives, there are also car barriers, begging for rewards and auspiciousness.

Xiao Qu is worried, the ghost knows if there is a master like Nie Xingsoul ambushing in these car barrier clans. Along the way, Xiao Qu was sick and found no less than six or seven masters of martial arts.

Fortunately, they all know each other very well. Just looked at himself from a distance, was glared at by Xiao Quai, and quickly looked away, this was not dangerous, after sending out thousands of silver coins, more than two hundred gold coins, and dozens of brocades, Xiao Quzhi welcomed He Keer home.

The wedding was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and there were no three worships to heaven and earth, but there were ancestral halls, drinking wine, and knotting hair. Gao Xianzhi and Xiao Hua are considered relatives and elders of their husband's family, helping Zhang Luo with various etiquette.

After finishing the hair, Xiao Qu sent He Keer back to the cave room, and when he came out, he was immediately surrounded by a group of people.

"Congratulations to King Lanling on his wedding!" Gu Xiaojun, Li Tianxi, Zhang Xiaogou and other former Anxi Army backbones came to toast with a wine glass.

Li Tianxi had a bad stomach, holding a wine jug, pretending to be an immortal drunk, and a group of people were not afraid of Xiao Qu's illness, and at the same time coaxed everyone to toast a glass, so they had to get Xiao Qu's illness drunk.

Xiao Qu was so angry that he glared at Li Tianxi fiercely, as if he was saying: "Dare to pour me wine, aren't you afraid that Lao Tzu will wear small shoes for you?" ”

Unexpectedly, such a threat didn't work at all, and there was no way for Xiao Qu to get sick and could only dry eight glasses of wine in one go, and everyone was coaxed again: "King Lanling really has a good amount of wine!" ”

Gao Xianzhi sat there and looked at Xiao Qubing with a smile, he felt like he had picked up a treasure, if Xiao Qubing hadn't fallen from the sky and smashed in front of him, how could there be a big victory in the river? I won't be crowned king myself.

This righteous brother really has immortal means, but unfortunately in order to reassure the emperor, Xiao Qubing is too busy at the same time, during this time in Chang'an, the two of them have not moved much, otherwise there are some things I really want to ask his opinion.

Seeing that there was almost a commotion over there, Gao Xianzhi hurriedly smiled and beckoned Xiao Quai: "The auxiliary minister is happy to get married, but you can't be reckless, come and drink a bowl of sobering soup." ”

"Thank you, brother." Xiao Quzhi hurriedly walked over, and when he picked up the bowl of sobering soup and drank it with his neck tilted, Gao Xianzhi asked again: "Fuchen, Brother will return to Anxi in a few days, do you have any good plans on how to fight Tibet?" ”

Throughout the history of the Tang Dynasty's war with Tibet in the time and space before Xiao Qu's illness, except for the defeat of the Tang Dynasty at the foot of the plateau during the Wuhou period, most of the other periods were fought against Tibet.

Tibet is still a slave country, and there are no professional soldiers who are all peasant soldiers, and the brute courage is indeed brute bravery, but the organization and discipline are too far behind the Tang Dynasty, and the plains are fighting head-on, and the Tang army of 10,000 is no problem to fight them 30,000. The reason why this barbarian regime still exists and poses a great threat to the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than the advantage of occupying the plateau terrain.

"Brother just remember one thing, just try to find a way to lure them down the mountain to fight. When Tubo has no vitality and is seriously injured, don't think about hitting the plateau and attacking Luo, just this one, and nothing else. ”

Gao Xianzhi nodded, he thought that during the Gaozong period, Xue Rengui had led his troops to fight Luo, but he was defeated, that is, he suffered a loss of terrain, and his combat effectiveness dropped greatly: "Do you know what the reason is?" ”

Many people leaned over to listen, Xiao Quzhi smiled: "Actually, the reason is very simple, that is, the mountains are too high there, and we people need to have a kind of vitality to breathe, and there is too little vitality in the plateau, and we will have no strength if we don't adapt, and they have long adapted to living there all year round."

When the time comes, I will publish a newspaper on it. ”

"Newspapers?" Xiao Hua asked.

Xiao Quzhi briefly introduced what some newspapers were, and told everyone that it would not be long before Sihai Trading Company would be able to produce paper that was more than ten times cheaper than it is now: "...... When the time comes, I plan to serialize some long stories in the newspaper, don't my brother like to listen to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and I will give my brother a copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in a few days. ”

"Okay." Gao Xianzhi was a little stunned, he had almost heard the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms......

Just when Gao Xianzhi was slightly puzzled, and when the powerful people of the family heard that the paper would also be handed over to everyone for sale, they were happy, and they heard a tsunami outside, and it turned out that it was the emperor and Yang Guifei who came.

There was a commotion in everyone, and the eyes of Xiao Qu's illness were different, the courtier's wedding, and the emperor personally attended the wedding, it was a great honor and grace.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Led by Xiao Quai, a group of people hurriedly greeted him, bowed and saluted, and said long live.

Li Longji was very interested, he was in a very good mood, smiled and calmed everyone down, and then smiled: "King Lanling's wedding, I also came to ask for a cup of wine to drink, the auxiliary ministers won't blame me for coming uninvited, right?" ”

"How dare the minister, Your Majesty came to attend the minister's wedding, it is the supreme glory of the minister, and the minister hates to repay it." Xiao Quai's illness was honestly afraid.

At this time, everyone dared to raise their heads and secretly looked at Li Longji, and they were suddenly stunned.

Surrounded by hundreds of eunuchs, three guards, and the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, there is a man and a woman at the front.

And next to Yang Guifei, the person who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a hood, and his sideburns were as black as ink, and he looked only forty years old, with clear eyebrows, majestic appearance, and flying spirits, was actually the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? When did he become so young at the age of sixty-seven? (To be continued.) )
