Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Really? That's really my honor."

"Father, His Royal Highness is here." Walking into the main hall, Li Zhen saw an old man wearing a birthday suit and a birthday hat, with a ruddy complexion and white beard and hair—this was naturally Yan Zhitui, but he didn't know who he was. How is it maintained? It looks younger than Yan Silu.

"I have congratulated the birthday star Weng Nian, Gao Dezhao, Songhe Yannian..." Li Zhen came up with a burst of auspicious words, squinting Yan Zhikua's eyes and saying hello.

"Come, come, let the old man take a look." Yan Zhitui's eyes were not good, and after Li Zhen finished speaking, he immediately beckoned for Li Zhen to pass.

"Yes." Li Zhen hurried forward with Wu Meiniang.

"Well, handsome, heroic, resolute and resolute, he really is a young hero, he can be called the reincarnation of Yan Huang, and he should be the master of the world." Yan Zhitui praised Li Zhen after watching him.

Seeing Wu Meiniang again, she admired Lianlian even more: "Longyi and phoenix are so precious, you have the appearance of a mother who respects the world, and with you in the Tang Dynasty, at least it can last for a hundred years of peace... Wonderful, wonderful."

"Thank you for the praise from the birthday man, Li Zhen is ashamed to accept it." Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, it's over, today's biggest delivery has arrived, and with Mr. Yan's comment, Li Zhen is no longer afraid of other people's criticism, which is a big deal Tang's first birthday star personally commented, who would dare to criticize his behavior in the future.

Li Zhen never imagined that the goods she received today were far more than what she imagined...

After Yan Zhitui finished evaluating Li Zhen and Wu Meiniang, he turned his attention to the cute baby in their arms.

"Well, good, it's another gift of heaven and man, and this is a ruler who keeps things going." Looking at Li Huang, Yan Zhitui was even more satisfied, and fumbled to take out a book from his sleeve: "This is the book." The "Analects of Confucius" compiled by the old man for 15 years has just been completed recently, so let's give it to the children as a gift today."

"No, no, this gift is too expensive. Huang'er is still young. A comment from you is enough. Let's forget about the book. It's better to pass it on to your descendants." Li Zhen quickly refused, What are you kidding?This is 15 years of hard work, how many 15 years can there be in life?Didn't you see that the eyeballs of the Yan family disciples next to him were turning red?

Yan Zhitui waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, as long as the crown prince publishes it and spreads it to the world, he will be worthy of the old man's hard work of more than ten years."

"That's it...then Li Zhen has the audacity to accept it." Knowing what Yan Zhitui meant, Li Zhen no longer refused, but assured: "Don't worry, the birthday star, I personally arrange this matter, and it must be done in the palace." In the shortest possible time, this book will be published in the world."

"I can rest assured that."

"Well, it's also the gift of heaven and man, and it's a lifetime of glory." After Yan Zhi pushed the gift, he looked at Li Zhao again, and also gave his own comments and gift - a string of red sandalwood that has been played around for an unknown number of years Wooden beads.

"..."

Saying goodbye to Yan Zhitui, Li Zhen and Wu Meiniang parted ways—Wu Meiniang needed to go to the female seats.

"Your Highness is down."

"Quick, make room for Your Highness."

"Your Highness, come to our side..."

"His Royal Highness, look here..."

"..."

Amidst the greetings of the crowd, Li Zhen chose the table of Xue Rengui's Yiai, and then the banquet began. First, the music was played, then the host gave thanks, and then the old birthday star came out to thank... Wait, a lot of things, waiting for the banquet It's over, it's already night, and fortunately the chosen city of Chang'an has lifted the curfew, otherwise everyone will have to stay at Yan's house for the night.

However, before leaving, I faintly heard that in a nearby other courtyard, the lights were still brightly lit, and the sound of shouting and drinking could be heard endlessly—this is a banquet for ordinary people, and there is a running water mat here, and it will be open for seven days and seven nights, but , this has nothing to do with me.

"Your Highness, this concubine heard something today." Back at the palace, after the two of them washed up, Wu Meiniang suddenly mentioned something.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhen asked casually.

"That's what Mrs. Dingyang Hou said." Wu Meiniang's face turned serious: "This is what she complained casually. According to her, when she went to Sanqing Temple outside the city to offer incense a few days ago, it was said that the Taoist priests there Each of them has a sword and a stern face, and he likes to ignore pilgrims, and some places in the Taoist temple are blocked, even she cannot enter, and those Taoist priests are still pushing people away, which makes her very angry."

"Taoist? Saber? Repelling people?" Li Zhen savored Wu Meiniang's words carefully, and understood her meaning: "Do you think there is a problem here?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Wu Meiniang asked back: "Which Taoist priest knows how to wear a sword in a Taoist temple? Besides, the pilgrims are their parents. How could you throw people away? How could you have such an attitude? Are you not afraid of offending the pilgrims, and no one will offer incense in the future? Then what do they eat? There must be a problem."

"It's not that simple." Li Zhen said with a smile: "If the other party was really so easy to expose, then we would have caught them long ago."

"That……"

"However, there is indeed something wrong with this Taoist temple, so I'll ask someone to check it out."

"Ah."

……

The Yan family's birthday banquet was over, but after it was over, Yan Zhitui took the main members of the Yan family to the palace to express his thanks - Li Shimin was not present for some reason, but they couldn't help but know what was going on.

Li Shimin granted Yan Zhitui a Marquis of Langya, and the matter passed, but the turmoil in Chang'an City did not calm down, because after Yan Zhitui's birthday, it was the most anticipated prisoner offering ceremony that everyone was looking forward to.

In the whole year of last year plus a few and a half years, in a total of one and a half years, Datang destroyed a total of more than 50 countries (plus those countries that became self-reliant due to the demise of the Japanese Empire), and the king alone captured More than 50 people, plus their domestic nobles and generals, this time there are at least nearly [-] nobles with status in the prisoner offering ceremony. Li Shimin is going to gather all these people together to offer prisoners to the Taimiao—— It was the biggest event of the year, and its excitement was not even comparable to that of the Queen and Prince Canonization Ceremony that followed.

The days passed quickly, and before I knew it, the time was approaching the [-]th of August—that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Originally, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. From the civil and military officials to the common people, as long as they have the ability, they usually choose to go home on this day to reunite with their families, eat moon cakes, enjoy the moon, and go out alive. Stroll around the lantern market, buy some gifts for each other, connect with each other, and have a warm reunion. You don’t have to do anything, and you don’t have to think about anything. The usual bad things are put aside, and it’s enough to be with your family.

Except for the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival, this day is a rare time to relax in a year.

But the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 17th year of Zhenguan is destined to be different from usual, because this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival is the day that Li Shimin chose for the ceremony of presenting the captives. The reason why Li Shimin chose this time is not only because this day is indeed a good day, but also More importantly, because there are the most people in Chang'an City on this day, Li Shimin feels that this can better promote the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.

As for whether the people will only care about the reunion and not give him face - it is impossible to think about it, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated every year, but such a grand ceremony of offering prisoners, looking at thousands of years, it is possible in history This is the only time. If you miss such a grand event, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

The people kept looking forward to it, but the government was so busy that they were dizzy. As the leader of the preparation team for the ceremony of presenting prisoners, Fang Xuanling was so tired that he couldn't even drink a sip of water. He had to personally intervene in every matter. Do everything yourself.

The so-called greater power comes with greater responsibility. This is a grand ceremony of offering prisoners. Not only will people from all over the world pay attention, but almost all envoys from all countries will be present. He was ashamed in front of the people of the world, and the shame would be thrown abroad. Even if Li Shimin killed him, he would not be able to recover the lost face.

Just as everyone was nervous and looking forward to it, the Mid-Autumn Festival finally arrived...

Chapter 717 Prisoner Presentation Ceremony (1)

Chapter 80 Prisoner Presentation Ceremony (1)

The Prisoner Presentation Ceremony is said to be a Prisoner Presentation Ceremony, but to be more precise, it should be a grand ceremony of exaggerating merits. The real purpose is actually a ceremony to show off the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty—not only to show the people of the Tang Dynasty what they have gained, but also to show off their achievements. Show off the power of Datang to the aliens, and frighten them severely.

In the last year plus the first half of this year, Datang did really well. Lien battles and victories are no longer enough to describe the strength of Datang's army. If you have to use one word to describe it, it should be-invincible.

Don't think that this adjective is an exaggeration. Today's Datang definitely deserves this title.

If you don’t believe me, you can go to countries other than Datang and ask if they dare to conflict with Datang at this time?

I am afraid that the answer should be the same - that is not dare.

Datang's current aura is too full, and the national self-confidence is unprecedentedly inflated. Even if they are enemies with the whole world at this time, I am afraid they will not be afraid.

Even the Dashi Empire, which has been brainwashed by religion, does not have the courage to challenge the majesty of Datang at this time-you must know that the war in Datang has basically stopped, and the only battlefield is Tianzhu, but it has already gained the upper hand , even if King Chaluqi could unify South Tianzhu, he would definitely not be the opponent of Datang Firearms.

That is to say, at this time, Datang can have at least 50 troops to spare, and it is still an elite army with excellent equipment, well-trained, and high morale.

If the Dashi Empire provokes Datang at this time.

There is no doubt that Datang will definitely send all its troops to the Dashi Empire, and there will only be one end for those who face the Dashi Empire-destroy the country.
