Chapter 20: The Celebration Banquet

The roar resounded in the sky, shaking the sky, and the ground trembled.

All the people who participated in the celebration, including Li Longji, Li Changguo, the crown prince Li Heng, Li Linfu, Chen Xuanli, as well as the ministers and ordinary people, all waved their arms, shook their fists, and shouted loudly.

Look at their hard-working appearances, all of them have green tendons on their foreheads, necks, and hands, like old tree branches.

The face was full of excited tears, and many people were crying while shouting. Of course, it's not sad, but it's too excited to be suppressed.

Even Li Longji waved his right arm fiercely, but his left hand kept wiping his eyes and wiping his tears.

The emperor should be moody and angry, and he should have the majesty of Mu Mu, crying and shouting like this, it is too unworthy of the emperor. However, no one cared, but thought that Li Longji was more cordial.

The reason why they are so excited is not only because of the pacification of Tibet, but also because of the great significance of pacifying Tibet, which is different from any previous annihilation.

The Tang Dynasty was founded for a hundred years, destroyed dozens of countries, and many countries were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, such as the East!! Turkic, Western Turkic, Tuyuhun, Goryeo, Khitan...... Among them, the only big country that can compare with Tibet is the East!! The Turks and the Western Turks are far from being comparable, as for Tuyuhun, Goryeo, and Khitan. In other words, there are only two celebrations in the history of the Tang Dynasty that can make people so excited, and one time is when Li Jing destroyed the East!! Turkic, and the other time was when Su Dingfang exterminated the Western Turks.

Pacify Tibet and destroy the East!! The Turks and the Western Turks are completely different because of the East!! The main territory of the Turks is in the desert, and the main territory of the Western Turks is in the Western Regions, and these two places were incorporated into the territory as early as the Han Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty destroyed the East!! The Turks and the Western Turks are nothing more than the great cause of restoring their ancestors, and they do not have the surname of pioneering.

The land of Tubo is the first time in thousands of years that China has been pacified, this is the development, and its significance is equivalent to the surname of the Han Dynasty to open up the desert and the Western Regions. For the Tang Dynasty, this was a great cause that surpassed the Han Dynasty.

For Li Longji, this is a great feat that surpasses the Qin Emperor and Han Wu!

If Li Longji is not excited, it will not work.

"I know now that the joy of being an emperor is like joy!" Li Longji shouted and wiped his tears while muttering, talking like a chattering old lady.

Time was lost in an earth-shattering roar, which not only did not weaken, but grew louder.

After a full tea hour, Li Longji suddenly thought, there are a lot of things to do today, and he can't just shout, so he can't stop waving his hand and signaling to stop shouting.

Today's celebration can be met once in a lifetime, this life is enough, everyone's interest is extremely high, although Li Longji is the emperor, Jinkou Yuyan, is still a little uneaten. It took a lot of effort to get people to calm down.

"Warriors of the Tang Dynasty, you have overcome thousands of difficulties and dangers, pacified Tibet, and relieved the great trouble of Datang's henchmen, I am very relieved!" Li Longji roared loudly, and the green tendons on his neck burst out angrily: "I accept your sacrifice of prisoners!" Hold on! ”

Chen Xuanli waved his hand, and a team of Longwu soldiers came over and ...... the whole thing These Tibetan ministers were put down.

One after another, the prisoner vans passed by, like a long dragon, slowly driving into the Xuanwu Gate.

The people looked at the departing prisoner car, their emotions were agitated, they could not help themselves, and there was another burst of cheers.

"Warriors of the Tang Dynasty: You have returned triumphantly, I will greet you at the Xuanwu Gate, please enter the palace!" The smile on Li Longji's face was layered layer after layer, and he invited him sideways, as if he was inviting a treat.

The ministers stood behind him, in a row, all with smiles on their faces.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The soldiers, under the leadership of Li Changguo, thanked them in unison.

Then, in a neat queue, they walked in unison, the steps were strong and uniform, and the footsteps were like thunder.

Li Longji stepped forward quickly, grabbed Li Changguo's hand with his left hand, grabbed Guo Ziyi's hand with his right hand, smiled at the two, and quickly stepped into the Xuanwu Gate.

Immediately afterwards, led by the crown prince Li Heng, the ministers rushed forward, took the hands of the soldiers, and quickly entered the Xuanwu Gate.

The most eye-catching thing was Chen Xuanli, he strode in front of Long Wujun and said with a smile: "Little cubs, welcome you back." I rejoice in your great deeds. Go, I invite you into the palace. ”

He is the general of Longwu and the supreme commander of the Longwu Army, and he can be invited like this, and the Longwu Army is very happy, and he is cordial, all of them are happy, surrounded by Chen Xuanli, and poured into the Xuanwu Gate.

Looking at the soldiers who entered the Xuanwu Gate, the people were extremely reluctant, surrounded the generals, stretched their necks, looked ahead, and couldn't bear to leave.

Under the leadership of Li Longji, Li Changguo and the others came to the Lin De Palace.

The Lin De Hall is mainly the place where the emperor rests, and the emperor watches songs and dances, and holds large-scale banquets here. Of course, Li Longji has entered his old age and likes to have fun, and he often deals with government affairs here, and this has become the place where he stays the most.

At this time, the Lin De Hall was decorated with flowers, and the eunuchs, palace maids, and miscellaneous servants were busy.

The Lin De Hall is full of short cases, neat and orderly.

The Tang Dynasty had a lot of weather, and I don't know how many times there were such things as holding large-scale banquets. Of course, it is not entirely for pleasure, many of it is because the Tang Dynasty destroyed dozens of countries and held many celebrations.

"Sit down." With a wave of his hand, Li Longji pulled Li Changguo and Guo Ziyi to stand in front of his throne and said loudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked him in unison.

Li Longji flicked the sleeves of his robe, sat on the throne, and motioned for Li Changguo and Guo Ziyi to sit beside him.

This violated etiquette, Li Changguo and Guo Ziyi hurriedly thanked him: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare." ”

"What dare you dare?" Li Longji waved his hand and said: "Today is a celebration, not a seat according to the rank of the official. I want you to sit here so that you can be questioned. ”

"This ......," Li Changguo and Guo Ziyi muttered.

"The battle against Tibet is very exciting, although I know a lot from the military newspapers, how can you personally participate in it sound beautiful and thrilling." Li Longji pointed to the seat next to him and said, "You sit down." ”

Li Changguo and Guo Ziyi saw that he was serious, so they thanked him and sat down.

"Chen Xuanli, Li Linfu, the crown prince, Yang Zhao, and you...... Sit down. Li Longji kept instructing the ministers, and the ministers were busy sitting over, close to each other, and their eyes were wide open, looking at Li Changguo and Guo Ziyi.

You don't have to think about it to know that the next step will be Li Longji's time to get to the bottom of it, who made this pacification of Tibet so exciting?

"Want to know?" Li Longji glanced at the ministers, smiled slightly, and said, "I also want to know." However, Li Changguo and the others rushed back, a little tired and tired, so they had some snacks and tea first, and then asked if it was not too late. ”

"It's the pole, it's the pole." The ministers thought that this was also the case, so they had to endure their eagerness and agree loudly.

As soon as Li Long's fund was opened, eunuchs, palace maids, and handymen rushed endlessly, sending tea and snacks.

The Tang Dynasty was a dream dynasty, not only because of its great achievements, but also because of the richness of the people's lives, even ordinary people could live well. The food is even more colorful, and the snacks delivered are rich and varied, with more than 20 dishes and full of short tables.

Li Longji picked up a piece of dim sum, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "There is a way that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and today is a celebration banquet, my mood is very good, and my appetite is also good." Don't be formal, eat and drink. ”

As he said, he was in such a good mood that he stuffed the dim sum into his mouth one by one, and ate nearly ten pieces in one go before stopping.

With his leading role, the ministers were not polite, eating snacks and drinking tea.

Of course, Li Changguo and Guo Ziyi will not be polite.

The most unkind thing was the soldiers, as soon as Li Longji spoke, they grabbed them in large pieces and stuffed them into their mouths. I was amazed while eating, it was so delicious, it was the best dim sum I have ever eaten in my life.

Look at them like that, they look like they've gobbled up, as if they haven't eaten in eight lifetimes.

When the ministers saw it in their eyes, they couldn't help but crack the corners of their mouths, and they were very disdainful. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have made a mockery.

"This is the wind of a warrior." Li Longji saw it in his eyes and said to his ministers: "You have never been on the battlefield, you don't know the horror of the battlefield, and sometimes you can't eat for days and nights. Sometimes you can only grab time to eat, which means eating very quickly. For example, if you spend half an hour on a meal, or an hour, you will lose your life a long time ago. ”

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will change, sometimes fighting for days and nights without rest, and sometimes they can only seize the time to stuff things indiscriminately. If you eat slowly, you are likely to have your surname, which requires you to eat quickly. These soldiers are rolling on the battlefield, and they have long practiced the practice of gobbling up.

This is diametrically opposed to the slow chewing and swallowing pursued by the ministers, and it is not enough for them not to despise it.

Li Changguo saw the appearance of the ministers, and originally wanted to earn some face for the soldiers, so he didn't want to look down on them. Before he could speak, Li Longji explained, this was supporting the soldiers, and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. Those of us who roll on the battlefield will only gobble up, not chew slowly, and we don't have the time, let alone the opportunity. ”

Guo Ziyi also thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"It is precisely because of these warriors who even have to grab time to eat that Datang has today's glory!" Li Longji waved his hand and said to the ministers: "You understand, right? ”

The ministers didn't expect their contempt to be defended by Li Longji personally, although they still despised it, but they didn't dare to reveal it, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for Your Majesty's teachings, I understand!" ”

"It's good to understand." Li Longji nodded, made a move at Gao Lishi, and said, "You go and tell the soldiers, let go and eat." Don't think of this place as a palace, just as a battlefield. ”

Colliers responded to the order and was busy passing on his life.

After a while, a commotion sounded, and the soldiers really didn't know what politeness was, so they let go of their snacks and shouted loudly, as if this was the entrance of the vegetable market.

The ministers frowned, but Li Longji was happy, nodded heavily, and was full of praise: "Like a fierce warrior, Datang is enough to gallop the world!" ”
