In the Tang Dynasty, most women married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and fifteen years old was the legal age. Although Zheng Liwan has been legally married for many years, she is actually a girl who is less than twenty years old, and in the eyes of later generations, she is a beautiful girl who has just passed the development period, and has no experience in love at all.

Before August 18 arrives, there is one more holiday to be treated with caution.

"My father sent someone to send a message to let us go to the palace to admire the moon together on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he held a banquet to entertain us. I chose a set of clothes for Lang Jun, you don't think it fits! ”

On this day, when he returned to the house from the Criminal Department, Luo Shixin got the news from his mouth that Li Yuan had invited their family to a banquet.

After hearing about the moon appreciation, Luo Shixin also realized that the Mid-Autumn Festival had arrived, and when he thought of his parents who were still alive in the 21st century, he was sad in vain, and said in his heart: "Mom and Dad should be in good health, your body is so strong, you will definitely be able to live a long life...... Little brother should accompany you for the holiday today, with him, I can feel at ease here. We are brothers of the same mother, regardless of each other. Take my filial piety and salute it together. ”

Seeing that Luo Shi's believers were sad, Pingyang was worried, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" Did you think of something unhappy? ”

Luo Shixin sighed: "This reunion festival, I also miss my father!" ”

A trace of confusion flashed in Pingyang's eyes, and then he smiled: "Lang Jun's hometown is Qizhou Licheng, let's take a look at it together." I have been married to Lang Jun for many years, and I have never worshiped the two old people. ”

Luo Shixin nodded with a smile. Then he thought of something and asked, "You also have the Mid-Autumn Festival?" He remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was a legal holiday in later generations. It is the second largest traditional festival along with the Spring Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is a festive day for a family reunion to eat moon cakes and watch the moon. However, in this era, there is a saying of admiring the moon on August 15, but there is no Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, although as early as the Zhou Dynasty, there have been activities of "Mid-Autumn Festival Night Greeting the Cold" and "Autumn Equinox Worshipping the Moon", but the folk prevalence should be a matter of the Song Dynasty, and the Ming and Qing dynasties have developed into an important festival that can be compared with the Spring Festival.

Luo Shixin has been in the Tang Dynasty for several years, and he has not had a Mid-Autumn Festival. Most of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the moon by oneself, missing his parents thousands of years later.

Binh Duong explained: "August 15 is a memorable day for my father, and every year on August 15, as long as there are no heavy events in the court. Or when everything is busy, the father and the emperor and his old people will celebrate a little in the palace, invite their beloved sons and daughters and a few intimate old friends to gather together for dinner and moon appreciation. That's just a dozen people. The father is very fond of Lang Jun. Naturally, Lang Jun is indispensable. ”

It turned out that Li Yuan Taiyuan raised troops that year, because of the lack of strength, the initial progress was not smooth, and was strongly resisted by the Sui Dynasty. Faced with this situation, Li Yuan's good brother Pei Lin was on the 15th day of August in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause. With the full moon as the idea, the moon cake was invented. And Guangfa military as a military salary to solve the lovesickness, successfully solved a major problem on the road to the rise of the Tang Dynasty.

After ascending the throne and dominating the world, Li Yuan missed the original days very much. Every August 15th, a small banquet is held to reminisce about the past. It is also because of the moon's qiē and qiē, and the moon cake has the meaning of lovesickness. It is with this starting point that there was the Song Dynasty's moon cake eating, so that in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Mid-Autumn Festival developed into a traditional festival with the name of the Spring Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival.

This year, Li Yuan prepared a banquet as always and invited everyone to a small gathering: the number of people is still small, but Luo Shixin is one of them, and he has always been the only one of the Tang Dynasty's concubines.

Faced with Lord Taishan's invitation, Luo Shixin did not hesitate to change into the clothes carefully prepared by Pingyang and went to the banquet together.

Entering the palace, I happened to meet Xiao Yu, who was traveling with him, as the "Xiao Lang" in Li Yuan's heart, this small banquet was indispensable.

Xiao Yu originally didn't have a lot of hope that Luo Shixin would be able to control the Criminal Department, but the result made him lose his glasses and marvel. Especially the cousin in the case of King Lujiang's rebellion, he has the bearing and demeanor of a famous minister, which is far beyond his expectations. The Criminal Department is one of the six departments under his jurisdiction, and Luo Shixin has been so successful in rectifying the Criminal Department, and he, the top boss, also feels very relaxed.

The relationship between the two gets along well.

All the way to the exquisite open-air annex of the West Hall of the Taiji Palace, Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshi and the two were already waiting in the courtyard.

Chen Shuda was a servant, a Yu Wenshi and a Zhongshu Ling, the former was in charge of Menxia Province, and the latter was in charge of Zhongshu Province, both of which were prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Luo Shixin had a high status in the Tang Dynasty, he was still inferior to these slaughterers, so he stepped forward to say hello.

After waiting for a while, Pei Lin also arrived on his hind feet, and not long after Pei Lin arrived, Li Yuan and Li Shimin arrived one after the other. The maidservants also followed the feast and brought the food.

Perhaps because of letting go of the burden of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's spirit is much better than before, although his white beard has grown, his complexion is a little red.

"Come, you're welcome, sit down!" Li Yuan beckoned everyone to sit down, obviously this small banquet was just them.

Luo Shixin glanced at each other around, and his heart was a little panting, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu left and right Shangshu servants, Chen Shuda Shizhong, Yu Wenshi and Zhongshu Ling, the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, the bosses of the three provinces, gathered together, and there was also a crown prince half a month later, the Tang Emperor, and an eldest princess half a month later......

Luo Shixin suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and then he also found a little problem: these people here are all the core figures of the imperial party......

Li Yuan likes to be the shopkeeper, the key is because the boss of the three provinces is a member of the imperial party, even if he distributes power to his son, he can't get out of his control. And although he Luo Shixin is said to be an "anti-bone boy", he has carved the imprint of the Qin Wang Party in the Phoenix Valley, but on the surface, he has always been the first general to resist, which even Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, cannot shake his position.

"It seems that today is not just about admiring the moon!" Roth muttered confidently.

Li Yuan, who is about to become the emperor, has arranged some future affairs before he is about to become the emperor.

**********

The capital of Silla, Geumseong.

King Jinpyeong of Silla convened an emergency meeting late that night and called out his two daughters, Kim Deman and Kim Seungman's confidant, Kim Ye-shin.

"Father, you hurriedly summoned us here, but Baekje called again?" A hint of anger flashed in Jindeman's beautiful eyes, and he had a strong hatred for Baekje, who kept causing trouble for them, and his hostility towards Baekje even exceeded that of the feuding Goguryeo.

Jin Shengman and Jin Yuxin also had the same idea, and their faces and expressions were not good-looking.

These three northeastern kingdoms coexisted, and in terms of strength, Goguryeo was the first, Silla was the second, and Baekje was the third.

Because of the struggle for the Han River valley, the relationship between Goguryeo and Silla was like that between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, and between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

Because Baekje was the weakest, it could not defeat the two countries, but instead enjoyed peace and was spared the scourge of war, and its national strength was increasing day by day.

Goguryeo was greatly damaged due to the rivalry with the Sui Dynasty, so he united with King Muo of Baekje to deal with Silla, so as not to make Silla bigger.

As a result, King Baekjemu destroyed the peace treaty with Silla and launched a campaign against Silla. However, Baekje's strength was inferior to Silla after all, and it was not Silla's opponent, which made Silla's general Kim Ye-shin defeated.

King Jinpyeong's original intention was to take advantage of the situation to counterattack Baekje and destroy Baekje, and the turn back was in Goguryeo. However, just as Kim Yeung-shin was mobilizing troops against Baekje and killing Baekje to enter the country, King Zhenpyeong received a warning letter from the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Emperor Li Yuan strongly reprimanded Silla for being an arrogant soldier and made Silla withdraw his troops in a stern tone.

King Jinpyeong pondered left and right, chose to obey, and ordered Kim Yeshin to withdraw to Silla, return the captured city to Baekje, and make a truce with it. However, the matter did not stop, and the Baekje warrior king Fuyeo Chang was quite resourceful and used a very clever foreign policy, initially maneuvering between Goguryeo and the Sui dynasty of China, seeking the interests of Baekje by fighting each other. Later, he became friendly with the Tang Dynasty and the Yamato Kingdom, saying that Baekje was a vassal of the Tang Dynasty on the one hand, and a vassal of the Yamato King on the other hand.

After the Tang Dynasty intervened to mediate the war in Baekje, Buyeo Chang wanted Yamato Japan to ask for help, and Emperor Shumei sent troops across the sea to help Baekje deal with Silla. Baekje's strength was only slightly inferior to Silla's, and with the strength of Japan, Silla suffered a great loss and was captured by them in one fell swoop.

The Japanese soldiers who crossed the sea were like wild beasts, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil, and the few cities that fell were almost deserted, so that the hostility of the upper and lower levels of Silla towards Baekje even surpassed the enmity with Goguryeo accumulated for hundreds of years.

"No, General Kim's construction has been very effective, and the combined forces of Baekje and Yamato do not dare to act rashly for the time being, and my summoning of you here is another important matter related to the future of Silla." King Zhenping glanced at the three of them with a solemn expression, and said: "Just now, the Han people on Changbai Mountain got a piece of news from the Tang Dynasty, their emperor Li Yuan has decided to abdicate, and in half a month, the new Tang Emperor will ascend the throne. ”

Jindeman, Jin Shengman, and Jin Yuxin glanced at each other, their eyes shining with excitement.

Kim said, "We can't miss this opportunity, we must show our sincerity, and we can't let Baekje take the lead." ”

Silla sits in the Han River basin and can be said to occupy the richest land of the three northeastern countries, but the land they occupy is eastern, and the biggest disadvantage is that they cannot be adjacent to the Tang Dynasty.

It was difficult for Silla and the Tang Dynasty to communicate normally, so that the Tang Dynasty thought that Baekje was more sincere and less friendly to Silla than Baekje, so it was natural to have partial thoughts. (To be continued......)
