Chapter 12 Preparations for the Games
"Nine days open the palace, and all the nations are crowned." The Daming Palace written by the great poet Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty is so majestic and majestic: the layers of palace gates are like nine heavenly gates, which are open and magnificent; The envoys of all countries worship the Danqi, see the Son of Heaven, majestic and solemn, this is to describe the magnificent scene of the Wu Zetian era decades later, at this time the Tang Dynasty in the early years of Zhenguan, but there is also a ceremony that is not inferior to the slightest, that is, Xu Yang initiated the Wanbang Pilgrimage.
Feudal rulers are always happy with their achievements, which has nothing to do with class, has nothing to do with morality, only has to do with human nature, everyone in a high position, want to have a reputation for eternity, although sometimes they can't do it, but this simple desire and yearning will not be transferred because of human will.
Linyi paid tribute to two parrots that chirped long live and made Li Er happy, so Xu Yang launched the Wanguo Pilgrimage to congratulate this building, which made Li Er's blood surge and it was difficult to control himself.
In the final analysis, Li Er's force value is too high now, and the entire Datang Dynasty is like half of it, killing gods when encountering gods, killing Buddhas when encountering Buddhas, and resisting the enemies in front of this empire will eventually turn into a handful of loess, no one understands the opponents who fell at the feet of Datang, and no one remembers them, so they can only leave a sigh.
The high-yield crops have fundamentally changed the status quo of the entire Datang poverty and weakness, and the five-year development has gradually improved the Datang, which was originally a patient with great confidence, and has even begun to take off.
It took five years for the Tang Dynasty to completely digest the land of Goryeo, north of the Yalu River. Now the people there speak Tang. Wear Hanfu. has become a complete Tang people, only south of the Yalu River, there is still a small Pyongyang, which is the future of Korea.
In the past five years, the Tang people have been constantly exploring overseas and the black slave trade, and the Tang Dynasty has been constantly pumping fresh blood, and the tubes for drawing blood are inserted in South America and North America.
"There is dirty blood in every pore of capital." This is a well-known phrase in later generations, but no one can understand its true meaning. Only Xu Yang, with his own eyes, really discovered what the dirty blood was, all of which were the black slaves who were transported back to Datang and Australia to open mines in South America, they lived a dark life, and they used the blood they left in the dark and dirty mines to build up a prosperous world.
Li Er, the prosperous name of "Tian Khan", has been wearing for a long time, so he also plans to see what kind of appeal his Tian Khan has, and ordered envoys from all over the country to announce that "His Majesty Tian Khan" has invited the leaders of the world to gather in Chang'an. At the same time, it is allowed to bring the most elite warriors of their respective tribes, and a special sports meeting will be held in Chang'an.
Li Er's face is very big. At least there are not many people in the world who dare to disobey, the deterrent power of the 'Son of Heaven Xingxi' is not like the late Tang Dynasty, at this time, for the more than 800 prefectures of the Tang State, the words of the Heavenly Khan are holy decrees and must not be violated.
Goryeo, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Western Turks, these countries that have been conquered by the Tang Dynasty city management and garrison, or have the heart to conspire with the Tang Dynasty, sent important ministers to Chang'an as soon as they learned of Li Er's convocation, wearing envoys and elites, only by seeing the strength of the Tang army, can they fear such a powerful empire from the heart.
The second batch of envoys were sent to Shule, Yanqi, Yutian, and Qiuzi, these small countries were generally afraid of the Tang State, but because of the difference in comprehensive national strength, they did not want to annoy the big man of the Tang Dynasty, so they naturally took the warriors and envoys to Chang'an for the pilgrimage together in accordance with the instructions of the Tang Dynasty.
As for the third batch of envoys, there are countries that are somewhat hostile to the Tang State, one is Gaochang, and the other is Xue Yantuo, and what is a little surprising is that among the third batch of tributary missions, there is also Japan.
Gaochang country, originally occupied the Silk Road, but since the Tang people began to bypass the desert, the business on the Silk Road is getting worse and worse, Gaochang people have been looting the Silk Road for a living, but now, the business has been cut off, which has been collecting tolls Gaochang is very unhappy, and later Gaochang people found after investigation that it turned out to be some Tang businessmen, united with Yiwu and Yanqi, in these two countries to open the door of convenience, only a small amount of tolls.
After learning the news, Gaochang hated these three opportunistic countries, especially Yanqi and Yiwu, because these two countries were relatively weak.
As for Xue Yantuo, he was originally a nomadic who advocated force, when the Eastern Turks were strong, he brazenly came to the Tang Dynasty to ask for help, and after winning over the powerful ally of the Tang Dynasty, he pinned all his hopes on the Tang Dynasty, and finally after the Tang State won the war, Xue Yantuo's leader Dadu set up all the Eastern Turkic territories that were included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, thinking that one day he would be able to recapture these lands, and later Li Er set up the Eastern Turkic tribes in Baidaochuan, which caused him to hold a grudge, always thinking about occupying those lands, naturally I don't have a good impression of Datang......
As for Japan, even Xu Yang did not expect that the self-esteem of this country could be so low, Xu Yang once said that he would cut off a relationship with Japan, Li Er, out of trust in Xu Yang, also agreed to this construction, and ordered all the Japanese people in the Tang Dynasty to be sent back to China, and refused to accept the tribute of the Japanese State.
However, such a country sends merchants and tributary envoys to the Tang Dynasty every year to express its country's apologies, and humbly begging Li Er to forgive what the Wa Kingdom did in the first place.
Li Er had no hatred for the Wa State, and when he heard Xu Yang's Jianyì, he didn't think it was a big deal, so he agreed, but at this time, seeing the envoy of the Wa State kneeling under the Great Palace, Li Er's heart of compassion was moved, and he announced the holy decree, thanking the Wa State regime for knowing its mistakes and changing it, and hereby accepting it as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, of course, Li Er did not tell Xu Yang about this news......
"Yes, yes, that's it, you have to be careful not to step on this line when you jump long." Xu Yang excitedly pointed to a horizontal line and said to Han Yanxuan, "It is worthy of a person who has learned martial arts, it is incredible that he can jump such a result in the long jump." Xu Yang kept pouting, and compared with Han Yanxuan, Xu Yang suddenly felt that the athletes in later generations were weak...... (To be continued......)
