Chapter 364: Celebrating the Victory Banquet

The sudden good news disrupted all the rhythms of the entire early dynasty.

Holding the good news sent by the herald from thousands of miles in his hand, Li Shimin smiled and won the victory, and it was right.

The Zaisuke, who saw the good news with their own eyes, breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang's battle against Tuyuhun naturally has only one result, but the sooner it ends, the sooner it can relieve the pressure.

The courtiers looked at each other, and then stood up together to congratulate each other.

The Tang Dynasty followed the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and all the ministers had cushions to kneel on, and the inviter needed to get up.

And similar to this kind of good news, according to the ritual system, it is necessary for the Holy Guanhua Gon to come to the Liangyi Hall to accept the congratulations of the civil and military officials.

But since the good news has been announced here at this time, the civil and military officials can only get up in unison, and do not congratulate in unison.

For Li Shimin, this good news has other significance.

For example, according to the records of later generations, Pingtu Guhun is a matter of nine years of Zhenguan.

And Tuyuhun was cunning at that time, running for thousands of miles, and running for Tang Zhi's brave soldiers to seek the enemy more than once, only to defeat the enemy, and there were many lucks during the process.

But at this time, in the good news played by Li Jing, the situation before and after the battle was clearly written in short words:

The troops from Liangzhou attacked Qinghai in four ways, luring the party as a guide, and then formed a situation of encirclement.

Out of the light cavalry negative thunder interception, the sound of the mighty angel thief Hu thought it was a god.

Gather Qinghai to resist stubbornly, and the mighty artillery will break the thief's courage with Tianwei, and calmly capture the Yun Khan.

The artillery was made according to the map of later generations, and the name was ready-made, but in order to distinguish it, it was named Wei Artillery by Li Jing.

Throwing thunder is the five thunder department with a thick clay pot filled with gunpowder and then thickened mud seal, with a net bag or lanyard to throw around to destroy the enemy, so it got its name.

In this battle alone, the power of gunpowder has been vividly realized.

But Li Shimin also knows clearly:

Now the gunpowder of the Tang Dynasty is no less than a child's sword dance in the eyes of later generations, and it is also smiling and generous.

If you want to improve, you need to study the way of science, and the method of calculating will eventually make the principle of gunpowder clearer and create an unprecedented dynasty.

Holding this good news in his hand, Li Shimin was overjoyed, and it was difficult to suppress his excitement after walking back and forth in front of the throne a few times.

So it is logical that some pardons rushed to Li Shimin's lips, and he only needed to open his mouth to coerce the victory to declare Jun's grace, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven may be revealed to the greatest extent.

But as soon as his hand was raised, Li Shimin keenly felt that his eyes were locked on him.

It was Chu Suiliang, who entered the palace with him, and then stood quietly.

The eyes of the newly appointed Julang have been locked on the Tang Dynasty Emperor, and at the same time, he keeps writing and drawing in his hands, and he is too faithful to perform the duties of the Julang.

Although today's Tang Dynasty has Yan Liben's Danqing Holy Hand who can faithfully restore the character's style, every word and deed on weekdays still needs to be glimpsed from this living note.

His goal is the Emperor of the Ages, how can he be overjoyed by this little Tuyuhun?

After coughing and reorganizing his mood, Li Shimin re-ascended to the throne reservedly, and after careful consideration, he re-announced the edict:

"Give a banquet to attend, congratulate the country on behalf of the country, and celebrate Tang."

The solemn morning dynasty turned into a celebratory banquet halfway through, which caught the civil and military officials off guard.

But for the Wupin Wenwu who attended, this banquet was a good opportunity to brush their faces in front of His Majesty, so they lined up one by one holding wine bottles.

Scolding Tuyuhun for not knowing life or death, praising the prince of the country is the pillar of the country, and praising His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts knowledge is the main tone of this banquet.

The Zaifu didn't need to be like this, so they simply gathered together in twos and threes to discuss in low voices.

"The victory in this battle is thanks to the things of the Five Thunder Bureau, since the representative of the country has not returned, why not praise the merits of the Five Mines Agency and reward the officials in the Bureau?"

Wei Zheng bluntly expressed his incomprehension, in his opinion, the work of the Five Thunder Agency is more worthy of special mention.

For example, there are only many people who are known as the god of the army like Li Jing, the acting prince of the country, throughout the ages?

As long as the Five Thunder Offices are successful, the imperial court only needs to send any general, and it can be regarded as a famous general for Na Huyi.

Perhaps it will fundamentally solve the dilemma of "those who are brave enough to shake the master are in danger, and those who have made great achievements in the world are not rewarded".

This possibility was very tempting for Wei Zheng, but the eldest grandson Wuji pondered it for a moment and shook his head:

"Your Majesty has your own considerations...... If the reward is announced here, the Five Mines Department will be placed in plain sight. ”

"Now there are jackal Turks in the Western Regions, and there are Japanese slaves in the east who harbor evil intentions, and the three countries on the Korean Peninsula are also connected."

"If it is said that the five thunders are the work of the Jing Zhong, it is tantamount to showing the jewels to the thief in order to steal."

The eldest grandson Wuji was-for-tat, feeling that it was a good thing that His Majesty did not point out the merits of the Five Thunder Agency, otherwise he could hardly imagine how troublesome it would be after being watched by the barbarians.

"This is inevitably a loss of grandeur and a lack of heroic spirit in China."

"Xuan Cheng means to show the secret of gunpowder to others, so that I, Tang Jian'er, will suffer from this?"

"Zhao Guogong's words are suspected of insinuation!"

Seeing that the two of them were blushing and their necks were thick, Du Ruhui and others on the side also hurriedly pulled the two apart, and persuaded them with tears and laughter:

"Now it's only this good news, why is Xuancheng so anxious?"

"If you talk about the achievements of the Five Thunder Administration, you can wait for the time when the Duke of the Kingdom triumphantly recounts the merits."

In this way, the two were separated, but for the argument between the two, several Zaifu also thought about it in their hearts.

From Du Ruhui's point of view, I feel that what the two said has its own truth.

Such a success as the Five Thunder Department, if you don't reward it, it will inevitably make the craftsman discouraged; But if it is a name for singing, it will inevitably attract Siyi to spy on its secrets, and if one is not good, it will be the same as an enemy.

And among them, it seems that you need to find a way to achieve both with Your Majesty.

However, there is naturally no need to rush this matter, after all, as said before, it is still early for Li Jing to return to Beijing, and there is still plenty of time.

At the end of the celebration banquet, Li Shimin also announced again that he would rest today and discuss everything tomorrow.

Although Wei Zheng had a complaint, he was not good at rebelling against Yaxing, so he could only accept a day off half-willingly and half-reluctantly.

No longer summoned Zaifu, Li Shimin took the guards out of the palace alone and planned to go to the Five Thunder Department to have a look, and of course there was Chu Suiliang who couldn't get rid of him.

Seeing the living man with a normal face, remembering that Chu Suiliang did not drink or attend the banquet at that time, but only started writing, Li Shimin suddenly became a little curious:

"Dengshan's note, can you have a look at me?"

Chu Suiliang shook his head and said:

"The living note is to record the words and deeds of the king outside the annals, and not avoiding good and evil is the only way to let future generations know the gains and losses of His Majesty, and the minister has never heard the Son of Heaven look at his own living note."

Li Shimin didn't think so, after all, as far as he knew now, he could only say that this idea was very beautiful, but even if he remembered it:

"Don't remember what I just said."

"The minister's position should be a pen, and the king's actions must be remembered."

Li Shimin was suddenly angry:

"What Shicai said will be seen in later generations, won't it make future generations think that I am a person with a small amount of energy?"

Chu Suiliang glanced at Li Shimin in surprise, and then calmly said:

"Your Majesty's words, the ministers should also remember them directly."

Li Shimin misses the old Master Zheng even more.
