ps: Thank you Yangyk, the monthly pass of the Killing God Jing Ke Brothers, and the urging of the Killing God Jing Ke Brothers, tomorrow's 12,000 updates!――

In the next few days, Liu Yi spent most of his time in the Youwuwei military camp, leading the training of more than 6,000 sergeants, using the training methods taught in the military book donated by Pei Xingjian, coupled with the training methods summarized by his own experience, in the ice and snow, these sergeants were trained with high-intensity and targeted surnames. This is a helpless move, these sergeants were not Liu Yi's subordinates originally, and it is not very realistic to greatly increase their combat power in a short period of time, but this kind of assault training method, Liu Yi feels that it should still be adopted, at least to a certain extent, it can make these sergeants feel a different discipline constraint, and some skills will also be improved to a certain extent.

These newly assembled sergeants were also bitter in the face of Liu Yi's high-intensity training, but Liu Yi also participated in the training in person every time, and the guards around him were also trained together, and the sergeants did not dare to disobey orders. Several of Liu Yi's main generals, because Liu Yi had been reprimanded when he first arrived, were a little afraid of Liu Yi, and they didn't dare to go against his will, so they led their subordinates to train desperately.

After this heavy snowfall, although the weather was cold, it was all fine weather, and there was no more snow, and the accumulated snow melted away after a few days, and the snow on the training ground melted earlier.

About half a month after the snow, December 26, the year has passed, the emperor's royal return finally arrived in Chang'an, this is only a few days away from the New Year, this is also the emperor's trip or return to Beijing in the most hasty one, because of the weather, the trip of the royal car went for twenty-seven or eight days, if there is another snow or other factors, the more than 10,000 people in the royal driving team, to celebrate the New Year on the way, some of the sacrifices before the New Year, have to be carried out on the way, that must be a violation of etiquette, The officials who stayed in Chang'an made a lot of worries about this incident, but fortunately nothing happened, and the royal car arrived in Chang'an safely.

When the emperor arrived in Chang'an, Liu Yi was also ordered to go out of the city to meet the emperor with other courtiers in Chang'an.

In the process of going out of the city to greet him, Liu Yi saw Shangguan Wan'er, who was following Wu Zetian's side with a good complexion, and Liu Yi was also greatly relieved to see that this beauty was unharmed. And Princess Taiping, who was as lively as usual, after seeing Liu Yi, ignored the side eyes of other people on the side, and even ignored etiquette, stuck to Liu Yi's side, and squirmed and said what she missed these days, so that Liu Yi was not embarrassed, and he was afraid that Shangguan Wan'er, who had seen all this in his eyes, would be jealous and angry-

In the blink of an eye, it is the first day of the new year, the first day of the first month is the beginning of the year, the month, and the three, according to the convention, the imperial court will hold a big court meeting on this day, and the emperor Li Zhi and the empress Wu Zetian accept the congratulations of the ministers in the Hanyuan Palace.

Officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing, officials from various localities who have returned to Beijing to report on their work, envoys from various localities who have come to Beijing, and envoys from foreign vassals in Chang'an must all attend this grand court meeting, which can be said to be the largest in a year.

The court meeting said that Liu Yi, who was dressed in a military general's uniform, also entered the Han Palace with the ministers early in the morning.

As far as the eye can see, the magnificent and tall Hanyuan Hall is full of people, and most of the elites of the Tang Empire are concentrated here.

Liu Yi stood in the queue of military generals, standing with Liu Jingtong, the general of the Left Guard, and He Jiami, the general of the Right Guard, who were about to go out together, quietly discussing the things that were about to go on the expedition, saying words of encouragement to each other, and wishing the other party another meritorious service in this expedition.

After the ministers arrived at Qi for a while, with the shouting of the eunuchs, a large number of soldiers of Qianniuwei came out from the side of the hall, stood in front of the hall and on both sides of the hall, and then the emperor Li Zhi and the empress Wu Zetian walked in from outside the hall, and walked on the throne in the salute and bow of the ministers.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat," Li Zhi pressed his hand, motioned for all the ministers to get up, and then sat on the throne, Wu Zetian was still sitting behind the curtain.

After the ministers got up, they stood on both sides of the ministers, the civil officials on the left, the military generals in name, and the envoys of the foreign vassals stood in another column.

Liu Yi looked at the scene of today's day with some curiosity, it was the first time for him to participate in the court meeting of Yuan Yue, and he also wanted to know what the scene would be like for such an unprecedented court.

After some courtesy, Liu Yi saw that Liu Renliang, who had just been reinstated and had been appointed as the left servant of Shangshu, stood up.

Every year, the Yuan Dynasty will be held by one of the most respected ministers in the court, leading the ministers to congratulate the emperor on the New Year.

I saw this old minister, who can be said to be the oldest in the court, stepped forward a few steps, walked to the front of the hall, held a wat board, and congratulated the emperor on the New Year on behalf of the civil and military officials: "The first work of the Yuan Heaven, the Jingfu Restoration, the Emperor of Heaven and the Great Sage and the Emperor of the Great Hongxiao Emperor are resting with the sky..."

After Liu Renliang finished speaking, the other ministers and envoys of the foreign vassals in the hall also followed to congratulate, and for a while, a very loud voice sounded in the hall, echoing in this relatively closed space, making people feel that their eardrums were shaken a lot.

New Year's greetings, only the emperor can get the congratulations of hundreds of officials, even if people like Wu Zetian have already held most of the authority, they are not eligible to enjoy, this feeling of being congratulated by hundreds of officials, is still very respectable, but also very attractive.

Then there was a cumbersome etiquette, after a period of etiquette, Emperor Li Zhi spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first day of the first lunar month, the beginning of the new year, I and the Queen of Heaven Niangniang held a New Year's party here, and Zhu Aiqing celebrated the New Year, I hope that in the new year, I will be peaceful in the Tang Dynasty, and the four seas will be peaceful..."

After Li Zhi said that he was looking forward to good expectations, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the ceremony came out and announced the next fixed procedure, that is, the officials of the various ministries reported on the achievements made in the past year. The first to be listed is the household officials, who report the harvest of the past year by the household department, followed by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and other relevant departments, and the comprehensive reports of the ministries, in the first year of Yonglong, the achievements of the Tang Dynasty are still gratifying, the rebellion of the Turks has been quelled, the grain and taxes have also increased to varying degrees, and the people are happy... After the officials of various ministries reported on the achievements of the Tang Dynasty in the first year of Yonglong, Li Zhi took over and said: "I hope that in the new year, God will bless the Tang Dynasty and keep the Tang Quartet safe... The wind and rain are smooth, and the people are happy!"

After Li Zhi's remarks, some courtiers immediately stood up and praised the correctness of the policies implemented by the emperor and empress in the past year, boasting that the emperor and empress's achievements in governing the country were unprecedented and unprecedented.

After receiving the praise of the ministers and the envoys from Waifan, Li Zhi continued to speak: "In the first year of the Lu, the Turkic Ashina was familiar with the mud, Ashide was in office, and Asdwen Fu rebelled against my Tang Dynasty, and I and the empress, with the support of Zhu Aiqing, decisively sent a large army to quell the rebellion, and under the leadership of Pei Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, my hundreds of thousands of troops effortlessly put down the rebellion of the Turks in only a few months, and were able to return to the court, and at the same time sent envoys to appease the ministries, and they were not to blame, but there were Turkic tribes, who regarded the tolerance of my Tang Dynasty as cowardice, once again raised an army against our Tang Dynasty, I and the Empress had to decide to raise a large army again to crusade against the rebellious Turkic tribes!"

These were extraordinarily ceremonial words that surprised many unprepared officials.

Li Zhi paused for a moment, and said in an accentuated tone: "I hereby send a message to the rebellious Ashina Funian and Ashina Wen Fu Department, immediately stop all rebellions, and reattach themselves to my Tang Dynasty, I can not blame the past." If they are obstinate and insist on confronting the imperial court, I will not tolerate it, and our Tang Dynasty Hundred Battles Heroes will definitely bring them the blow of destroying the surname, and I hereby warn the Turks and other tribes not to act rashly, and if anyone dares to cling to the rebels, our army will give the blow of destroying the surname..."

"The hundreds of thousands of horses of my Tang Dynasty Dingxiang Road will enter Anbei after the year to exterminate the rebels, and I hereby once again edict the tribes of Anxi, Anbei and Andong that we must help my Tang Dynasty to quell the rebellion of the Turkic Ashina Funian and Ashdwin Fubu, after the rebellion is extinguished, the court will have its own reward!"

After Li Zhi's very tough words, some foreign envoys who were attending the court meeting in the palace hurriedly stood up and said that their tribe would never be attached to the rebellious Turkic tribes, nor would they support them explicitly or covertly.

The Tang Emperor openly expressed such a tough position at the Yuan Dynasty meeting, which was almost to announce to the world again that the Tang Dynasty army would enter the grasslands of Anbei to strike at the rebellious Turks, and the tribes to which some envoys belonged in the palace were originally inextricably linked with the rebellious ones. This time, the edict of the expedition and the warning was delivered to the tribes, and this time the announcement of the matter at the Yuan Dynasty meeting was unusual, and some envoys felt a chill from the heart.

After many envoys expressed their support for our Tang Dynasty to quell the rebellion of the Turks, Pei Xingjian, as the commander of this expedition, led some major generals to stand up and perform an oath to the emperor and his ministers in a very firm tone, saying that they would definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy and strive to restore the peace of our northern Tang Dynasty as soon as possible.

The momentum of the generals is unusual, and many people were trembling and shocked by the roar of the generals who led the army out in unison.

Emperor Li Zhi seemed to be very satisfied with such a situation in the palace, and some of them laughed so much that they couldn't close their mouths, stood up, pressed his hand to signal the courtiers to be quiet, and then said: "As far as I know, the Tubo people want to attack our border pass when my Tang Dynasty goes out to quell the rebellion, and I also warn the Tubo people here, if they have bad behavior, the hundreds of thousands of border troops of our Tang Dynasty will definitely give them a head-on blow..."

When the Tibetan envoy who had not stood up just now heard this separate warning from the Tang Emperor, he was very surprised and had to stand up, saying that Tubo would definitely not take the opportunity to send troops to attack the Tang border pass when the Tang army sent troops to the north to quell the rebellion.

The Tang Emperor has never been so tough, this is something that the Tibetan envoy did not expect at all, from the emperor's confident expression, and such a different and usual tone, but also let the Tibetan envoy feel that the Tang Dynasty in the plain at the same time, but also to strengthen the military defense in the northwest, strictly prevent their attack, this is an abnormal phenomenon, must be reported to the army stationed in the Qinghai area.

Hearing the expression of the Tibetan envoy, Li Zhi's face burst into a smile again, and he sat back on the throne.

Then there was a very important ceremony of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the envoys of Zhufan presented their respective gifts to the Tang Emperor.

This is also a very interesting thing, the list of gifts of the vassal countries is read out by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the envoys with expensive gifts and a large number of gifts are proud, while those who are light are full of shame and feel very ashamed.

This is also a symbol of the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and these envoys in the Tang Dynasty are proud to be recognized by the Tang Emperor.

Also, after the end of the Yuan Dynasty meeting, the emperor will hold a grand banquet in the Lin De Palace, and the order of the banquet is likely to be related to the level of the gifts. The arrangement of the envoys' positions is the most face-saving issue, Liu Yi also heard that the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Silla had fought in the hall because of the ranking problem, and finally Li Zhi in order to calm the contradictions between the envoys of the two countries, let them sit in the same row, in no particular order, from this very ridiculous matter, it also reflects that the vassal states of Tibet still care about the status of their respective tribes or vassal states in the eyes of the Tang Emperor.

However, the gift list has been formulated, and it cannot be changed, and those who earn face have also earned, and those who have lost face have also lost their face, such a grand court meeting, as well as the banquet behind, no one dares to quarrel for ranking, in that case, they will be held accountable in court!

After the envoys finished the gifts, the New Year's banquet was held immediately, but this banquet of the same grand scale, Liu Yi, who had not passed the filial piety period, could not participate, and when the ministers went to the Lin De Hall to go to the banquet, he had to walk out of the Hanyuan Hall in a gloomy manner, ready to go out of the palace.

After Liu Yi greeted other colleagues standing in the queue, he also went against the flow of people, walked out of the front door of Hanyuan Hall alone, walked through the side corridor, and went down Hanyuan Hall along the Longwei Road on the left, preparing to go out of the hall and return home.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Mai and Liu Yuan, who were originally guarding filial piety in front of their father's grave, returned home, and Liu Yi also wanted to go home to spend the New Year with his family.

Last year, Liu Yi was still on the way to the expedition, and he didn't experience the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival at all, this year, Liu Yi hoped to take advantage of the time before the expedition to spend a few days with his mother and other family members.

When Liu Yi had just gotten off Longwei Road, he was stopped by a eunuch, who was familiar with the eunuch known as the "Nine Princes", and saluted Liu Yi and said: "General Liu, the princess has asked the general to go over to talk, please let the general go with the slave family!"
