Tens of thousands of birds circled around the big bird and whispered, refusing to disperse, this scene was extremely spectacular, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Ling Jing took the opportunity to speak: "Lord, five phoenixes descended on Jincheng Palace and attracted thousands of birds to worship, which is not only a good omen, but also an oracle from heaven. ”

Everyone looked at it and waited for the following.

"The advent of the phoenix means that the Lord is the son of destiny, and he should obey the destiny of heaven and save the common people.

"The Lord is benevolent and benevolent, and the people wholeheartedly support it, which is no different from Xia Yu, and it should be called Xia Guo, and the year name should be changed to Wufeng."

As soon as these words came out, everyone seconded them.

Dou Jiande was very happy, adopted Ling Jing's suggestion, and immediately ordered to change the year name to Wufeng and the country name to Xia.

Everyone paid homage together: "Meet King Xia." ”

Dou Jiande raised his hands majestically: "No courtesy, the banquet continues." ”

Since then, Dou Jiande is no longer the King of Changle, but the King of Xia.

----------

At the same time, Luoyang, Chang'an, Luokou, Qinzhou and other centers of influence held banquets to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve, and people temporarily forgot the pain caused by the war.

The eldest grandson sat dignified and knelt, watching the singing and dancing in the hall with a smile on his face, glanced up at Yang Yu on the throne, and quickly swept over Li Yuan, who was second only to Yang Yu in the seat, and couldn't help but feel melancholy in his heart.

Yesterday, she accidentally met Yang Yu, and he said to her: "I envy Xiao Yu'er, Tang Wang treats her like his own daughter." ”

But she didn't think so, if Li Yuan really treated Wang Yu like his own daughter, how could he send her to such a dangerous place?

Li Shimin told her the truth of the matter, but told her not to divulge the matter.

"Alas~"

Li Shimin looked over, "What's wrong with you?" Why the sudden sigh? But isn't this song and dance beautiful? ”

The eldest grandson shook his head gently: "No, I just think of Xiao Yu'er, and I don't know how she is now?" Is it good ...... health?"

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red and she choked.

When Li Shimin heard this, his mood also became melancholy.

Sang Zhong immediately stepped forward and reminded in a low voice by pouring wine: "Lady, today is a festive day, don't be sad." ”

The eldest grandson's expression froze, then he took a deep breath, forced back his tears, and reappeared with a smiling face.

She picked up her wine glass and said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, concubine toasts you." ”

After speaking, cover it with your sleeve and drink it all.

Li Shimin wanted to comfort her, but in this scene, he didn't say much, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing that the eldest grandson picked up the wine jug and poured the wine, Li Shimin hurriedly stopped: "This wine is strong, it is not suitable to drink more." ”

"Get the wine down."

Sang Zhong immediately took the flask away, and the eldest grandson gave up.

Li Shimin leaned over and comforted the eldest grandson in a low voice: "Don't worry, the lady doesn't have to worry, the little Yu'er will come back soon." ”

The eldest grandson just smiled gently, but did not answer.

Zheng Guanyin, who was on the other side, saw it, and said with a smile: "Look at Erlang and the eldest grandson, the relationship is really good." ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he looked to the other side, but saw Li Shimin's personal guards hurriedly walking to Li Shimin's side, and without knowing what to say, Li Shimin left the banquet.

Soon, Li Shimin came back, but instead of returning to his seat, he walked to Li Yuan's side, leaned over and said something.

Immediately, Li Yuan followed Li Shimin and left the table.

When some ministers saw this, they could not help but talk about it, while others did not see it and continued to drink and have fun.

Li Jiancheng's face sank, and he didn't know what Erlang said to his father? Where did they go?

At this time, Li Yuan was hurrying to the Wude Palace: "It's your person who came back?" ”

Li Shimin followed behind Li Yuan and replied respectfully: "Yes, when I left Hedong, I left two people to protect Xiao Yu'er, and they also followed Xiao Yu'er to Hebei, and this time it was one of them who came back, named Zuo San."

"Zuo San said that Xiao Yu'er asked him to bring things back, and instructed him to hand them over to Aya in person."

While speaking, the two of them had already come to the outside of the Wude Palace.

Zuo San saw them and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen King Tang, Duke Qin." ”

"Come in with me." Li Yuan was the first to enter the main hall.

Li Shimin made a gesture, and the attendants in the hall hurriedly retreated, leaving only Li Yuan's father and son, as well as the third from the left.

"What did Xiao Yu'er let you bring back?" Li Yuan sat down, his eyes falling on the back of the third left.

The third from the left took off the baggage and offered the contents with both hands, it was a box, and the outside was locked.

Li Shimin took the box and handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at it and asked, "This box is locked, what about the key?" ”

Zuo San was stunned for a moment, and quickly found it in the baggage, who knew that there was only this one box in the baggage, and there was no key.

"King Tang, when Xiao Yu'er gave me the baggage, I didn't open it, and I don't know what was inside. This one...... There was only a box in the baggage, no keys. ”

Li Yuan: "......"

How can he open this box without a key?

Li Shimin walked over and turned over the baggage cloth, and sure enough, there was nothing.

Looking at the box, Li Shimin suddenly took out a dagger and walked towards Li Yuan: "Aye, let me split this lock." ”

Li Yuan put the box on the side of the case and told him: "Be careful, don't destroy the contents inside." ”

"Yes, Aya."

Li Shimin raised the dagger, fell quickly, and slammed it into the copper lock.

With a "snap", the copper lock fell.

Good knives!

Li Yuan glanced at the dagger in Li Shimin's hand, and then opened the box.

It was full of a pile of paper, and lying on top was a letter, and Li Yuan opened the letter first and read it.

"Father's knees, Xiao Yu'er can't come back to accompany you for the New Year, I am deeply sorry, I give a New Year's gift, I hope my father will smile and accept ......"

After reading the letter, Li Yuan casually handed the letter to Li Shimin, and then looked through the contents of the box.

When the first sheet of paper was unfolded, Li Yuan was fascinated by the objects on it.

That's what it is...... The lightweight three-bow bed crossbow that Xiao Yu'er mentioned last time?

It's exquisite.

After reading the first construction drawing, Li Yuan couldn't wait to continue to look at the next one, and there was no surprise that the pile of paper in the box was all equipment construction drawings.

There were different types of bed crossbows, all of which were lighter and smaller than their current bed crossbows, with the largest bed crossbow requiring ten people to activate, and the smallest requiring only one person to activate.

In addition to bed crossbows, there are also improved bows, hard crossbows, light crossbows, and catapults......

The more he looked down, the more excited Li Yuan became, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden: "Haha, the New Year's gift given by Xiao Yu'er is always joyful." ”

Li Shimin remembered the "four dislike" puppets, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

That New Year's gift, not at all joyful.

"Go, call Su Shilang to me." Li Yuan commanded.

The third left looked at the hall, except for King Tang and Qin Guogong, there was only him, turned around and walked outside the hall.

"Wait."

Li Shimin stopped Zuo San and said to Li Yuan: "Aya, did Xiao Yu'er draw some pictures?" ”

"That's right." Li Yuan looked up from the drawing.

Li Shimin took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "Aye, are you planning to call Su Shilang over and take the drawings to develop them immediately?" ”
