After these Tibetan captives got used to this kind of life, Li Kuan would be kind enough to give them freedom.

They were allowed to return to Tibet.

Judging from the experience of Li Kuan's previous life, in the end, they must have dragged their families down because of the miserable life in Tibet.

After ordering all this, Li Kuan's life in Chang'an fell into a certain calm.

Li Tai and Li Ke looked for trouble during this period, but they were easily suppressed.

Such a peaceful life lasted until the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan.

Because before the Mid-Autumn Festival, news of great victories came from Central Asia and South Asia, and Li Shimin decided to make this year's Mid-Autumn Festival more gorgeous.

To put it bluntly, it's a luxury.

Li Shimin generously distributed moon cakes and pastries to the people in the whole Tang Dynasty, including the grassland, and sold ham meat cheaply and cheaply, celebrating with the people to show the strength of the country.

The people were very happy and excited, and they supported Li Shimin's rule more and more.

And this large-scale scene deeply stung Lu Dongzan, who returned to Tubo and returned to the Tang Dynasty.

Because Li Shimin wanted to do a more lively Mid-Autumn Festival, the six ministries of the three provinces decided to play a big game, such as letting officials from all over the country collectively come to Chang'an to read a book, and felt that the newly formulated reward system of the Tang Dynasty would be made public.

Many families in Central Asia also hastily completed the distribution of their own interests and collectively wrote to establish feudal states.

The southern families of South Asia refused to establish a feudal state, and although they held the rights that were not much different from the feudal state, they continued to remain in the Tang Dynasty in the name of feudal officials.

The most important thing is that Li Shimin released many islands in the open sea and rewarded those generals who led the troops.

The real land reward made the officials of Datang very happy.

After the benefits are distributed, everyone is stronger than the original life.

Li Kuan has been quietly watching the changes in Datang.

A week before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the generals who had fought in various places rushed back.

In addition to some specific defenders in the border areas, many government soldiers were also put on leave.

It can be said that the whole of Asia has been quiet during the month of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan.

This made Li Kuan can't help but sigh, now the world is really chaotic, and Datang has the final say.

None of the remaining countries in Asia, including Tibet, provoked trouble.

The reason is that Li Shimin personally gave them a notice, I Datang is going to have a festival, a grand festival, if you make trouble within this month, then we will both be a result at that time, if you don't kill our Datang, then our Datang will kill you.

In the face of naked threats, smart people chose not to speak and silently obeyed.

The only remaining countries such as Wa, Silla, Baekje, and Tibet also sent people to send a gift.

When Li Kuan knew about their arrival, he felt that they were really miserable, obviously they were semi-threatened, and they had to give gifts.

When Li Xiaogong came back, he also gave Li Kuo a gift.

Ten exotic beauties from the Far West.

Li Kuan tactfully told him that he was not a hungry ghost.

But Li Xiaogong said that he didn't know what to send?

Oh, Li Xiaogong also sent one, a piece of land from Sassanid Persia in Central Asia, close to the Caspian Sea, not big, but there are some resources in it.

Li Kuan was very satisfied with this gift.

No one will dislike the land.

From this point, Li Kuan can also feel the nouveau riche degree of the Tang nobles.

One by one, they don't give any jade, gold and jewelry as gifts, and they directly give the land to be knighted.

Hou Junji also came back, and when he saw Hou Junji this time, Li Kuan felt that he had changed a lot.

This guy came back and publicly apologized to Li Jing first, which made everyone very confused.

Everyone has always felt that this is not his character.

Hou Junji said it when he was drinking sometime, and the imperial battles he participated in in Central Asia made him realize his shortcomings.

That is to say, he has a big heart when he fights.

Hou Junji also talked with Li Chengqian once, and no one knew what the two talked about, but after the talk, Hou Junji's son-in-law no longer continued to be an official in the East Palace and was transferred to the army.

Li Kuan felt that Datang had changed a lot.

The only thing that made Li Kuan unhappy was that Lu Dongzan once again proposed to the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess during this Mid-Autumn Festival, and brought the sincerity of Songtsan Gampo.

Songtsen Gampo built a palace for the princess on the plateau, and said that the princess was the only princess in the past, and the child born to the princess was the next generation of Tibetan kings.

Many people don't care about this, and in everyone's opinion, it is impossible.

No matter what you do, we will not agree to marry the princess.

At the same time, as more and more people returned, Chang'an City became more and more chaotic, which was caused by too many powerful people.

In order to solve this problem, Li Shimin canceled the curfew, it is better to block it than to sparse it, everyone plays all night long, and we are happy together.

Well, Li Shimin also took the lead and started playing.

Basically, Li Shimin himself has a banquet every three days.

As long as there is a meritorious person, he must feast again.

This gave Li Kuan, who was temporarily arrested to work in the three provinces and was responsible for the security of Chang'an and Jingzhao regions, a headache.

Those meritorious heroes are just when the spring breeze is proud, and it is not appropriate for you to manage it.

But if you don't care, the streets are full of drunk people.

From time to time, Ping Kangfang would report a fight between two men for a play.

In this regard, Li Kuan really has no choice.

He had to draw manpower from the army to strengthen law and order, and set up a number of temporary sobering stations.

This chaotic life lasted until the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Kuan and officials at all levels came to the palace to attend the banquet.

Li Shimin's banquet is very large, but the process is very simple.

It can basically be divided into several stages, such as gifts from various countries, gifts from various officials, Li Shimin's speech, serving food, and watching songs and dances.

All that's left is the same as before with everyone eating, drinking, wrestling, and placing bets.

The first one is all formalism, and only the last one is everyone's favorite.

It's just that something went wrong this year.

After the end of the gifts of various countries, Lu Dongzan stood up and asked Songtsen Gampo to marry the princess under the watchful eyes of all people.

Everyone, staring at him, their eyes were extremely unkind.

"Your Majesty, please give us a reply today."

Lu Dongzan's timing was very well chosen.

He's done a great job.

In the past, Li Kuan rejected him, but Li Shimin did not explicitly refuse, so this matter can be called inconclusive.

Lu Dongzan can naturally mention it again.

In addition, now in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and many foreign countries, if Li Shimin refuses him, he will be more or less suspicious of not giving face.

Li Shimin looked at Lu Dongzan, and he felt the other party's determination.

He didn't want to reply, though.

Li Kuan slowly got up, came to Lu Dongzan, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Dongzan, I clearly tell you as the head of the royal family that it is impossible to marry a princess. ”

Lu Dongzan raised his head, looked at Li Kuan firmly, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I am asking His Majesty the Tang Emperor, not you, what I hope to get is a reply from His Majesty the Tang Emperor, not you." ”

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu thinks that he can make decisions on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

The words of murder were firmly spit out by Lu Dongzan.

Li Shimin still didn't say a word, watching Li Kuan's performance.

Many of the Tang Dynasty ministers present were a little angry, and they refused to be rude to Lu Dong's praise.

With a sneer, Li Kuan said in a deep voice: "Lu Dongzan, are you sure you want to force me?" ”

Lu Dongzan expressed his unyielding eyes with a firm look.

They must marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
