Well, the above is pure nonsense, now let’s get down to business.

Since it was a grand event to show off its strength, it was natural to show everything to others, and the first batch of people to enter were naturally not captives—as the main character, they were naturally going to make their final appearance.

The first thing to set off was the display of spoils. These days, the youth army who had been stationed outside the city and had not entered the city sent out 1000 people to escort hundreds of carts, and slowly walked towards the city.

These heavy carts are all four-wheeled carriages, each of which is filled with eight large red-lacquered boxes.

These boxes may be very heavy, and the wheels made of high-quality wood are slightly deformed under the pressure. Fortunately, the cement road outside Chang'an City has been repaired, otherwise these wheels may sink into the ground.But even so, the car was walking very slowly on the road, bloodstains were drawn on the backs of the pack horses pulling the cart, and sweat flowed down like money.

The people along the way were already surrounded. Seeing this scene, how could they still not understand what was being pulled on the car? If I guessed correctly, this must be the harvest of Datang’s Nanyang this time.

What happened next also confirmed their guess. It may be that the cargo was too heavy, and one axle of a carriage was overwhelmed and was broken directly.The car body was tilted at that time, and the two boxes fell down.

"Dong Dong~"

"Whoa."

After the dull sound, the two boxes were smashed to pieces, and the gold beads in the boxes lost their confinement and flowed down the cement road, the thumb-sized gold beads almost covering the road.

"Whoo~"

This scene was really shocking. Seeing this scene, everyone's breathing was tight, and a trace of greed was unconsciously revealed in their eyes. However, after seeing the elite soldiers guarding the side, they seemed to be splashed. With a basin of cold water, I immediately dispelled the thought in my heart-gold is a good thing, but it also has life flowers.

The Boys' Army is not easy to mess with. As early as the time of the surprise attack on Linyi, after several battles, the Boys' Army was known as the strongest army in the world, and the ensuing battles also proved that this title was worthy of its name.

Later, there was a rumor in the Tang Dynasty that every boy army sent down to the ordinary army could become a school lieutenant, which is enough to prove the strength of the boy army.

No one believed that under the care of such a powerful youth army, something would be snatched from them.

As if this kind of situation had already been expected, under the command of a team leader, a spare car was quickly brought over, and then everything was packed in just a quarter of an hour, and the team moved slowly again.

Hundreds of carts walked for more than an hour before they completely entered Chang'an City, and on both sides of the street in Chang'an City, more people surrounded them.

then……

"click~"

"Whoa..."

The axle of another car was overwhelmed, and it leaned on the street. The gold bricks on the car were scattered, and then it caught the attention of the people...

It is estimated that everyone should have noticed that the incident happened here. Yes, all of this was arranged in advance, and the axles were also tampered with, in order to show the people the harvest of the Tang Dynasty, and also to promote Nanyang. The richness of the country attracts more immigrants to develop in the past - after such a long period of joint military and civilian arrests, the capture of slaves in Nanyang has begun for a long time. Although there are still many people who have not been arrested, the number of Nanyang aborigines is also It has dropped sharply to a certain extent. For the people of Tang Dynasty, it is barely possible to immigrate there without guaranteeing that it will not be diluted. The immigration work can already be carried out. This requires a sufficient gimmick, and by showing the richness of Nanyang, Undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, such a thing as a broken axle can be done once and twice. It is enough to use this trick once or twice. If there are too many times, people will notice it.However, there is no need to worry about insufficient publicity, because Li Zhen and Li Shimin have already discussed that after the grand ceremony, the imperial court will display the harvest this time on the square in front of the Taimiao for three days.Then take the amount of gold and silver, cast it into a golden tree fifteen feet high, and stand it in the palace. It is guaranteed that as long as you stand near the palace, you can see this tree. It can not only promote Nanyang, but also win the hearts of the people. , kill two birds with one stone.

After entering the city, the convoy walked even more slowly, and it took another hour to reach the square outside Suzaku Gate.

At this time, Li Shimin, along with the princes and all the civil and military officials, had already been waiting upstairs in the imperial city.

When the convoy arrived at the square, the young army lined up neatly in formation. Li Zhen, dressed in military uniform with a bow and sword, rushed out from the corner on a fast horse and came to the forefront of the team.

Get off your horse and kneel down on one knee: "In the 16th year of Zhenguan, Linyi invaded our frontier, and the young army of the Tang Empire went out to fight... Today, a total of 500 million taels of gold, 1000 million taels of silver, and countless spices have been seized...Specially dedicated to the emperor of the Tang Empire Your Majesty, Long live the Tang Dynasty, Long live His Majesty the Emperor, Long live the Emperor."

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live."

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live."

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live."

"..."

Chapter 81 Prisoner Presentation Ceremony (2)

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"..."

There was a shout of long live like a tsunami in the square. At first, it was only the youth army shouting after Li Zhen, but soon the surrounding people were also infected, and couldn't suppress their emotions anymore, and shouted along.

How many people are there in the entire Chang'an City during the Zhenguan Annual Inspection?

Although it may not reach 100 million, there are still 70 million people. This is only the settled population. If you count the floating population...

Even if some people didn't arrive for some reason, at least 50 million people gathered in front of Suzaku Gate at this time, and even the big square in front of Suzaku Gate couldn't stand anymore. Some people simply stood in Guanglufang and Bindaofang The farthest one is already in Anhuafang.

Three to four million people shouting together, how powerful is it?

It can definitely be called the air rushing to the sky, the mountains and rivers changing colors, the wind and clouds turbulent, and the mighty nine days.

Some foreign envoys who watched the ceremony were even frightened and their faces changed wildly, and they were fighting with each other, almost falling down.

Li Shimin on the upper floor of the imperial city was even more excited. He is a good emperor, and he thinks so, but he has never received the cheers of so many people. He dug hard into the gap between the bricks of the wall, trembling all over, and could hardly stand up. If it wasn't for the little eunuch supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground in disregard of his image.

Even the little eunuch behind him was frightened by this momentum, his complexion turned pale, and he was on the verge of falling. If he hadn't a little sense, he would have been so frightened that he would have collapsed on the ground.

The voice rang for a long time before it gradually faded away, and Li Shimin finally let out his own voice: "Okay, okay, the soldiers have worked hard, the young army defended their homes and the country, opened up territories and expanded land, the sky is unparalleled in the world, invincible in this world, it is really the world The strongest army, I am proud of you..."

"Wansheng~"

"Wansheng~"

"Wansheng~"

"..."

After another period of excited cheers, the scene gradually calmed down. Li Shimin also came down from the tower with the harem concubines and civil and military officials to review the young army and check their harvest.

"Very good, Zhen'er, you did a good job, and the emperor is very satisfied." When he came to Li Zhen, Li Shimin patted Li Zhen's shoulder vigorously and praised him. Feeling his powerful strength, Li Zhen knew Li Shimin was excited at this moment.

"Father, this is the list, please check and accept it." Because she read too much, Li Zhen was very calm, took out a scroll, which recorded the number of spoils she brought back this time, and handed it to Li Shimin.

"No, father trusts you." Li Shimin shook his head and rejected the list: "Besides, this is your spoils of war. It would be too much for father to take it away. Even if you keep a little for yourself, what's the point?"

"Father, don't worry, all the boxes are sealed, and no one has ever opened them."

"Let's not talk about this, let's review your youth army with the emperor."

"Yes." Li Zhen didn't say anything, and after greeting the ministers, concubines, brothers and sisters, she followed Li Shimin to review the youth army.

"Father, let's take a look at our harvest." The first batch of young soldiers only had 1000 people, so the inspection was over quickly. Seeing that Li Shimin seemed a little unfulfilled, Li Zhen suggested.

Li Shimin had nothing to do with it: "Alright, let's do it like this."
