When the Turks were pacified and the four realms were peaceful, they were full of karma.

Although the Wu sacrifice is a dance and music, prepared by Taichang Temple, but just like the emperor's gift of hunting fields, Da Da is also a military ceremony, and the military department must participate.

After the Xuanwumen incident, Hou Junji jumped from the general of the chariot and cavalry of the fourth product to the general of the left guard from the third rank, entered the Duke of Luguo, and was given a thousand households to seal the food estate, and was immediately promoted to the general of the right guard of the third grade.

However, he has a pretentious temperament and likes to boast, except for the old generals of the Qin Mansion, who also boast of his martial arts, the rest of the central ministers, including Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were also born in the Qin Mansion, have no particularly positive evaluation of him.

As for Li Shimin, one appreciates Hou Junji's willingness to study, and the other is from various aspects such as region and origin, considering the balance between the ministers and assistants, so he was allowed to enter the cabinet and serve as the secretary of the military department and the government of the government.

This time, the ceremony of Da Da was held, and I also hope that Hou Junji can perform in the grand sacrificial ceremony.

On the day of the sacrifice, the sky is ambiguous, and the guards of honor have been lined up in the temple steps.

At the right time, the flag is fluttering, the golden drum is ringing, the emperor is driving to the Taiji Palace, and the princes and ministers are standing on both sides.

One hundred and forty-four nephews, all wearing masks and red clothes, were divided into six teams, and under the leadership of the deacons who also wore masks and red clothes, they entered the Taiji Palace through the palace gates on both sides.

Fang Xiangshi wore a mask with four golden eyes, a black robe and a red robe, a bear skin, and a shield.

Taibu and Taizhu followed, surrounded by the drummers and musicians, and entered the palace and began the ritual of exorcising ghosts and epidemics.

The main gate of Miyagi and the gates of the Imperial Castle have already prepared roosters and sake.

Fang Xiangshi led the nephew to dance and sing, shouting and cheering.

After Taibu Zhanji and Taizhu sued the sky, Fang Xiangshi led all the nephews to the city gates and raised the animals one by one to drink wine.

The ceremonial process of the ceremony of the Da Da ceremony was shocking and intimidating, and the emperor was very pleased.

He knew very well that behind all this was the cooperation between the military department and Taichang Temple.

And this kind of cooperation is by no means something that Hou Junji can achieve, but must be supported by Pharmacist Li.

The time sequence entered the fifth year of Zhenguan.

On the day of the New Year, the emperor sacrificed to the temple and cultivated in the eastern suburbs; feast the ministers, play "King Qin's Breaking Array Music".

Immediately afterwards, he issued an edict and ordered him to go to Kunming Chichun search.

Only because of the beginning of spring in the twilight of the year, Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, came to Chang'an.

Nearly two years ago, after Xuanzang passed the pass, after several months of asceticism, he went to Gaochang.

Qu Wentai's mother, Concubine Zhang, believed in Buddhism, and her ancestors came from Middle Earth, and she was very happy to see Xuanzang, and ordered Qu Wentai to become brothers with him.

He also left him in Gaochang and spent more than a month.

During this period, in addition to promoting Buddhism, Xuanzang also knew all kinds of prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, saying that Qu Wentai knew.

During the great cause of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Qu Wentai once followed his father Qu Boya into the Sui Dynasty.

In addition to recognizing Qu Boya's position as King Gaochang, Yang Guang also named Yuwen, the daughter of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, as the Huarong princess of the Great Sui and married Qu Boya as the queen.

After Qu Boya's death, Qu Wentai succeeded to the throne.

According to local customs, Yuwen became the queen of Qu Wentai, and this time she also came to Chang'an and asked to join the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, Yuwen made contributions with Qu Wentai, and then collected the movements of the Western Regions and repeatedly played to the Tang Dynasty, which can be called meritorious.

So at this time, Li Shimin responded to Yuwen's request and gave her the surname Li and named Princess Changle.

More than 20 years ago, when Qu Wentai entered the dynasty with his father, it was at the most glorious and prosperous time of the Great Sui.

Yang Guangwei exaggerated the wealth and strength of the Great Sui, and ordered that all officials and people from the Western Regions who entered the Hajj must be responsible for receiving them.

At that time, between the Western Regions and the Eastern Capital, the counties were sent to usher in the usher, and they squandered the money, so that the people were not able to make a living.

This time Qu Wentai entered the court again, and Li Shimin originally wanted to send people to welcome him to show the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, but was blocked by Wei Zheng.

Qu Wentai's entry into the DPRK this time, the background motive is actually not simple.

Just because after the Tang Dynasty pacified the Turks, he fled to Gaochang, took control of Qu Wentai, and ordered him to enter the Tang Dynasty to investigate the truth and truth.

Qu Wentai was not received along the way, and after returning to Gaochang, he said to Desire Valley: "This time I entered the court, but seeing the depression of the northern cities of Qin and Longzhi, I can no longer compare with the prosperity of the Great Sui in the past. ”

Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng's admonition hindered Yingyu, which made it difficult for Desire Valley to clarify the situation between them.

That's a later story, and that's at the time.

Qu Wentai is still in Chang'an, and during his trip to the Tang Imperial Capital, he witnessed the perception with his own eyes, although he did not say it explicitly, but what kind of character Li Shimin is, how can he not be aware of it? At that time, the countries of the Western Regions saw Qu Wentai enter the court, and they sent envoys to pay tribute.

In view of the fact that they did not welcome them when they came, the Heavenly Khan issued an order to search for spring and let the four Yi monarchs participate in the ceremony together.

Like Katian and Dada, the spring search is also a military salute and must be participated in by the military department.

Therefore, this hunting trip, in addition to letting the Siyi monarch see the majesty of the Celestial Empire, the emperor hoped that Hou Junji would be able to show it in front of many envoys from the Western Regions.

The ritual of the spring search is about the same as that of Kakita before March.

It's just that this time it was not for school hunting, and there was no consideration for the selection of the cardinal members, so after Qu Wentai and other Siyi monarchs entered the enclosure with the monarchs and ministers of the Celestial Dynasty, the sergeants drove the beasts three times and galloped in front of the emperor.

When one drives away, the left and right are full of bows and arrows; When it is driven again, the bow and arrow are sent to the left and right.

When the three-drive passed, Li Shimin drew his bow and shot arrows, and the guards all over the mountains and valleys instantly raised the great edict of the Tang Dynasty.

The prey should be on the ground, and the four wild songs shouted "long live", and the sound echoed for a long time.

Secondly, the four Yi monarchs hunted and shot, and the same three times drove away the birds and beasts, and the same drew the bow and shot the arrows in the third drive, and the same instantly raised the heads of the kings of the states.

However, the banner is magnificent, the voice is majestic, and its momentum is far inferior to that of the Heavenly Khan of the Heavenly Empire.

Secondly, it was hunted by the kings and princesses.

Under the stimulation of the paddock, prey, military flags, and mountain calls, Hou Junji seemed to forget that he was no longer just a military general, but the military department Shangshu who was in charge of today's spring search ceremony, and he was the zaifu of the Senate and the government.

After all, he was a student appointed by the emperor to be taught by Pharmacist Li.

So at this time, Li Shimin looked at Pharmacist Li who was accompanying him on the right side of the royal car, and Pharmacist Li could only bow down on the horse to apologize.

The next day, the emperor feasted Qu Wentai and other four Yi monarchs, as well as the accompanying ministers.

On the second day, it was the fifteenth day of the first month, which was the day of the Shangyuan.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the term "Shangyuan" was mostly used in the astronomical calendar, not on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty once visited the god of Taiyi in the temple of Ganquan Palace on the day of the first lunar month, and began to light the lamps at dusk until the end of the day.

Later, the emperors of the two Han Dynasty followed suit and often lit the shrine in the first month of the first month, but they were not scheduled to look at the sun in the first month.
