In the second year of Yifeng, the first day of the first month.

At three o'clock, the sky was dark.

Peng Wangfu, "squeak", the door opened.

Li Xuan was wearing a purple nine-python and nine-chapter robe, with an eight-sided Han sword hanging obliquely on his waist, and calmly and solemnly led the horse out.

Li Zhu followed to the side, carrying a lantern, cautious.

On the long street, King Han, King Huo, King Jiang and others stood in front of the princes of the Beijing clan, the prince of the county, the prince of the county, and the prince, all dressed in purple court clothes.

Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, stood at the front, and after all the clans had arrived, he waved his hand and turned over on his horse.

All the clans got on their horses, and then lined up in order, silently and solemnly towards the door.

On Suzaku Street, Jin Wu stands, with a sharp blade.

Li Xuan walked slowly with the crowd, but his thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

Today is the first day of the new year, and after the New Year's Day, the holiday will continue.

In addition to the ten-day holiday, Datang has three days off each on the first day and the winter solstice; Cold food and Qingming are connected as a whole, with a total of four days off; The summer solstice and wax day are each three days off.

The first day of the winter solstice is seven days, that is after Xuanzong.

Now, in addition to the above holidays, there is one day off each on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the 2nd day of the Spring and Autumn Festival, the 8th day of February, the 3rd day of March, the 5th day of May, the 3rd day of the dog days, the 7th and 15th days of July, the 9th day of September, the beginning of spring, the spring equinox, the beginning of autumn, the autumn equinox, the beginning of summer, and the beginning of winter.

A total of 67 days off.

If you count the Yuan Day and the winter solstice in the future, it will be changed to a seven-day vacation, and Datang officials will take a 75-day vacation a year.

After all, there are only three days of regular holidays in January, which is not as good as the two days off in the later generations.

……

Retracting his thoughts, Li Xuan looked in all directions, and the number of officials walking out of various squares and streets was gradually increasing.

In the Zhengdan Dynasty, officials and nobles above the nine grades in Beijing must participate.

It's just that the vast majority of people can only stand outside the Taiji Hall.

Only officials above the fifth grade, clans, and a few foreign envoys can enter the Taiji Palace.

Li Xuan's eyes swept over, and many officials had excitement on their faces.

Yes, the emperor's eldest grandson was born, and it was time for the New Year's celebration, and the emperor's amnesty to the world was enough for them to rejoice.

The emperor's eldest grandson was born.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan's expression became solemn.

Although he contributed a lot in this matter, in the end, he withdrew very decisively.

If Li Xian could wait for him to talk last night, maybe Li Xuan would try his best to help him.

But after the night passed, it was too late.

The countless officials of the East Palace had already made preparations for the future after this night.

Li Xuan said it now, and he was powerless to return to the sky.

In fact, for Li Xian, relying on the emperor's eldest grandson, changing the previous aggressive style of acting, changing to a gentle attitude to win people's hearts, slowly infiltrating the court with a grand momentum, and finally gaining irreversible power, this is the right way.

But now, I'm afraid these people will be doing it very aggressively.

In a very short period of time, they will find a way to spread the power of the crown prince.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and sighed lightly, Li Xian still hasn't figured out who his real enemy is?

He always thought it was Empress Wu, but this was simply a mistake.

There will always be only one enemy of the crown prince, and that is the emperor.

If Li Zhi was not sick, he would not have weighed the court through martial arts.

But for many years, Empress Wu has only participated in the court and assisted the emperor in governing the government, but the real final decision is still the emperor.

As long as Empress Wu does not go further, there will not be too many disputes and contradictions between her and the courtiers.

But sometimes, the emperor would take the initiative to provoke conflicts between the Empress Wu and the courtiers.

Even with a word, he was able to do it.

For example, in the early years, he said that he wanted the Zen prince Li Hong, and the Empress Wu was immediately anxious; He said that he wanted to pass on the throne to the queen, and the prime ministers were immediately anxious.

Everyone was toyed with by the emperor and applauded.

Li Xian just couldn't see through this, thinking that his opponent was the Empress Wu, so he caused conflicts with the Empress Wu again and again, but he didn't know that his opponent was the emperor.

An emperor's eldest grandson, if Empress Wu is more ruthless and takes a few steps back on the grounds of the emperor's eldest grandson, then Li Xian will immediately face the emperor.

When the time comes, Li Xian is the emperor himself.

It's a pity that Li Xian can't see through this, and is still striding towards this dead end.

If he was willing to wait for Li Xuan last night, then Li Xuan would have vaguely reminded him of this, but he didn't.

Since then, Li Xuan will not spend more energy on him.

Li Xian has no way to retreat, and the conflict between him, Empress Wu, and the North Gate Scholar will become more and more intense, and even directly confront the emperor in the end.

Li Xuan shook his head, he had put enough energy into Li Xian, and it was time to put everything on himself.

……

The palace gate of Taiji Palace in the distance clearly appeared in the field of vision,

Countless Jinwu stood solemnly, waving flags, and standing with swords and guns.

Fang Xianzhong, the general of Jin Wuwei on the left, Xue Guwu, the general of Jin Wuwei on the right, stood on both sides of the palace gate on the left and on the right.

Outside the palace gate, hundreds of officials stood in awe.

Li Xuan's gaze fell unnaturally on Xue Rengui's body.

Today, he put on a suit of armor and appeared in the court as a general.

The red cloak seemed to be dyed with blood.

The envoys of Fanbang in the back, when they saw Xue Rengui, couldn't help but weaken their feet.

They were all scared to be killed.

Li Xuan smiled with satisfaction in her heart, but then sighed softly.

It's a pity that this time the matter of the commander of the army is not Xue Rengui.

When the emperor's eldest grandson was born, the emperor would give this face to the crown prince, and the position of the commander of the army would be given to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and the Pengcheng County Duke Liu Xianli.

As for Xue Rengui, he may have to return to Daizhou and suppress the Turks.

Now that the Western Turks are in rebellion, the Eastern Turks may also be unstable, and it is not a bad thing not to adjust Xue Rengui's expedition to the west.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, Li Xuan focuses on himself.

Liu Xianli is the commander of the army, so Li Xuan will not be able to enter the main force of the army.

Liu Xianli will either use him to transport grain and grass, or let him be a partial teacher.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly in his heart, Liu Xianli, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has too many talents to call.

The matter of building a grain road does not need Li Xuan at all.

Using him as a partial-side teacher, in addition to attracting the attention of Non Qinling to the greatest extent, perhaps inadvertently, Li Xuan can also create miracles.

In this way, once the forward army is intercepted by the Tubo, Li Xuan can also break through from the side to the greatest extent.

That's not a bad thing.

However, if this matter is to be done well, Li Xuan needs some other help.

Inadvertently, Li Xuan's gaze fell on the body of Li Xiaoyi, the governor of Yizhou, the general of Qianniuwei, and the prince of Liang County.

……

"Knock knock", the five drums sounded.

Suddenly, the palace door opened.

Li Xuan stood in the queue, followed the ministers, dressed in auspicious clothes, and strode forward.

Entering the Taiji Palace, Li Xuan stood calmly in the second row on the right, in the position of the kings.

Today, he is the royal family of the Tang Dynasty and the king of Nanchang County.

Looking around calmly, there was a vacant position in the first row on the left, in front of the ministers.

Li Xuan raised her eyebrows.

There is the location of Hao Chujun, the commander of the middle book.

Why, didn't he come today?

Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, all the ministers in Beijing must participate.

As long as you are not sick and can't walk, or the emperor has a special order and does not need it, you basically have to come.

Is there something else?

Li Xuan quietly kept this matter in mind.

His gaze flickered slightly, falling on the envoys of the countries behind him.

A very conspicuous figure appeared in his sight, the envoy of the Tibetan State, Zabala.

Tall and burly figure, but gloomy and cold face, people can't help but want to stay away.

The battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo has entered its second year.

Last year, Datang won for the time being, and today, what the final result will be, it depends on which of the two sides is harder.

As if sensing Li Xuan's gaze, Zabala looked up at Li Xuan with a hint of coldness and disgust in his expression.

Although the detailed military report did not come out, the news of Qingnan, Qingbei, and Qingxi's big victories came again and again, and the people could see Qianniuwei, who was speeding to report the victory.

The emperor also summoned the whole city to celebrate in a timely manner, and the news would naturally reach Zabala.

Especially Li Xuan, who has made the most meritorious contributions, is thousands of heads every time, even if there is a false report, Zabala also knows that the Tubo soldiers who died at the hands of Li Xuanshou are definitely not a few.

When the two met again, Zabala almost hated Li Xuan.

Li Xuan's eyes swept calmly, and the use value of this Tubo envoy was almost reduced to the extreme.

The envoy of the Silla State, Qin Blunt Jiaogan, and the envoy of the Wa State, the monk Daozhen, all bowed their heads extremely respectfully when they saw Li Xuan's eyes falling.

Especially the envoy of Silla, Qin Dull Jiaogan, he is really glad now that Li Xuan did not go to Silla in the first place.

Otherwise, the current Tubo will be the fate of the original Silla.

Silla is not as good as Tibet.

You can imagine how miserable the end was.

……

In front of the gate of the Taiji Palace, a shout came: "The saint has arrived." ”

Li Xuan held the ivory wat in both hands and bowed his head slightly.

A group of courtiers, clansmen, foreign envoys, as well as Li Xian and Li Dan, all bowed their heads.

Wearing a black gold-edged Nine Dragons Nine Chapters Dragon Robe, wearing a white jade twelve, the gentle Emperor Li Zhi, with a phoenix robe, walked calmly and steadily to the high platform, and then sat down directly.

The Provincial Attendant stood forward and shouted, "The saint is here, and the ministers salute." ”

The ministers in the palace took half a step forward at the same time, knelt on one knee on the ground, took off their shoes, unsheathed their swords, and finally knelt on the ground on both knees, bowed and bowed, and shouted in unison: "The ministers meet Your Majesty and wish Your Majesty a long life." ”

The Provincial Governor of the Inner Chamberlain solemnly shouted: "Xing! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers slowly got up and stood solemnly, their eyes lowered.

Zhao Renben walked out of the ministers, walked into the main hall, bowed and said: "Ministers, waiters, Zhao Renben played, the third year of Shangyuan, the first year of Yifeng......"

Li Xuan lowered her head with a solemn expression, but she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

In the third year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, the Tubo War that the Tang Dynasty had been preparing for many years finally began.

Under the First World War, 30,000 Tubo soldiers and 60,000 Tuyuhun soldiers died or surrendered.

Qingdong, Qingnan, Qingxi, Qingbei, all fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

Now the remaining Wuhai Plateau has not fallen, once the Wuhai is lowered, the entire Tuyuhun hometown will all fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

The focus of this year is to take Wuhai and defend Wuhai.

This is the hardest part.

Li Xuan took a light breath and looked calm.

The rites of the Great Dynasty are carried out in one item at a time.

In the service, the emperor announced the system, the ministers congratulated, the thousand cows danced, the states offered Rui, and the Zhufan tribute.

Everything went smoothly as usual, even the unruly Tubo envoy Zabala last year was respectful like a kitten this year.

Envoys from more than 40 countries, including Turkic, Dashi, Persian, Tianzhu, Tibetan, Silla, Wa, Khotan, Qiuzi, Yanqi, Shule, Ryukyu, Annam, Chenla, Java, Hui, and Tiele, all presented valuable gifts and surrendered sincerely.

……

"Your Majesty, congratulations to Rui, the gift is over!" Zhao Renben knelt down in the center of the hall again, holding a chapter in his hand to record all the details of today's dynasty.

On the throne, Li Zhi nodded slightly, and then said, "Xing!" ”

Zhao Renben stood up, then bowed down and retreated into the crowd.

Li Zhi looked up at the ministers in the palace, and said with a slight smile: "Last year, thanks to the hard work of the ministers, the prosperity of the country, the efforts of the prince, and the arrival of the emperor and grandson.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I want to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and I also ask you to go with me when you are tired, and tell the world! ”

"The ministers obey." The ministers bowed their heads.

"Dangdang, dang, dang!" The bell of Ruibin rang, and the music of Taihe should be played.

"Pilgrimage, the saint comes out, and the ministers of the Liangyi Hall are feasted."

"Ministers and other respectful to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
