Crown Tang emperor

Before the merits of today's saints are revealed, they are already famous for their Lulu Shengci, so this time Taichang Temple also put all their efforts into preparing the dance music for the celebration, striving to be amazing.

For solemn occasions like the Enthronement Ceremony, there are fixed rules and standards for rituals and music, and there are many frameworks, which are not enough to express the intentions of the people. occasion.Therefore, when the banquet begins, the hall is full of colorful dances and music.

However, compared to the lively and exciting singing and dancing, the atmosphere in the hall is obviously not in place, and even seems a little deserted.Everyone in the hall, including Li Tong, focused on the meals on the food table. Except for some chiefs of the tribe who occasionally left the table to dance and toast, most of the people focused on eating.

This is also a very normal thing. The people in the hall had to fast and bathe the day before the ceremony, and they dared not indulge in food and entertainment.As for Li Tong, the protagonist, and the three envoys including Wang Jishan, they were strictly controlled in diet after returning to Chang'an from the Xianyang Emperor's Mausoleum. So far, no grain of rice has been eaten or a drop of water has been touched during the grand ceremony. It is all due to perseverance. .

Now that the normal grand ceremony has been carried out, it is extremely exhausting for the officials to worship or stand, or to greet and follow.Although Li Tong sat silently most of the time, he was very tired wearing a crown.

Now it's finally time for the delicious food, who the hell is still in the mood to appreciate the beauty of singing and dancing?After all, food is the most important thing for the people, and the emperor is no exception. Only when you are full and warm can you think about other things.

Therefore, the Yanle drama, which was carefully prepared by officials and musicians, was completely reduced to the background sound of the monarch and ministers feasting on it, and it really lacked attention.The dancers and actresses with enchanting dancing postures and melodious singing voices in the main hall are really not as exciting as the hot mutton and venison breast.

If it weren't for the gorgeous setting of the palace, this scene would be as good as the meal in the canteen of the construction site. It really doesn't look like the emperor of the Tang Dynasty feasting on his officials.And when the officials were full and finally had time to pay attention to other things, the banquet was coming to an end.

After all, there are still a series of celebration ceremonies that need to be held. For example, the Ministry of Rites and the officials of the Zongzheng Temple who will preside over the conferment ceremony of the queen did not enter the hall, but only had light meals in the other hall, so it is not yet let go At the time of celebration, after eating and drinking, you should take a rest and recover your strength.

When night fell, the officials who participated in the grand ceremony, under the guidance of the guards and middle officials, exited the palace from Guangshun Gate, and either returned to their residences, or returned to the division to deal with the accumulated affairs.

There was an indescribable excitement before, and Li Tong didn't feel any better. Now that the enthronement ceremony was finally completed, the exhaustion suddenly spread all over the body. Coupled with the food and drink, his mind felt even more groggy.

So after retreating to the palace, he waved his hand to summon the chariot, and ordered to go to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. On the way, he couldn't help feeling tired and fell asleep soundly.

When he woke up again, he found that he was already in the Xianju Palace where the Empress Dowager temporarily lived.Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, the palace people simply carried the chariot directly into the palace room. Wei Tuan'er was snuggling up to his left, and carefully put his arm through his shoulders leaning on the chariot.

Feeling the trembling in his bosom, Wei Tuan'er looked down, immediately apologetic: "The sage is awake... I'm so clumsy, I haven't been served for a long time, and my movements are careless."

Although Li Tong woke up, he was still a little confused. He adjusted his sitting posture, and his entire upper body leaned against his tender body, feeling more comfortable. Then he asked, "What time is it?"

"Just two quarters after entering the first grade, it's not too late, the saint is going to ask the empress dowager? The princess and others are also in the hall..."

Wei Tuan'er opened his arms and embraced the saint's body. Although he felt a little oppressed, he was solid and warm, and he felt very reluctant for a while.

The beauty's posture was fine-tuned, and Li Tong only felt that the touch on the back of his head was more soft and plump, and the smell of alcohol that had not yet dissipated came to his head again, turned his head and buried it, and murmured: "Anyway, it's already rude, so you might as well make a mistake." moment."

"Heh... Saint, ah..."

Wei Tuan'er breathed lightly, her body was already sensitive after giving birth, feeling this moment, her tall and plump delicate body trembled unavoidably, her eyes turned, and the only remaining reason swept across the room to serve everyone , as the palace officials and eunuchs hurriedly withdrew, their bodies had been hugged horizontally, and then they twisted their waists and responded even more enthusiastically.

Li Tong is naturally not a gentleman who can sit still, but he can still be above the average in terms of self-denial and not indulgence.After the former wives and concubines arrived in Chang'an, they lived a ridiculous period of hard work, but as the wives and concubines became pregnant, and since the Turkic invaders began, things have been happening one after another, and there is really no leisure and energy to indulge their lusts .

From the end of last year to now, more than half a year has passed, and he has been busy with various affairs.Even if he returned to Beijing, he would not be allowed to get close to women in various ceremonies such as worshiping ancestors and enthroning.Now that everything has finally come to an end, the heartstrings that have been tense really need to be relaxed.

After relaxing in this way, by the time I get dressed and set out again, it's already the second watch.The beauty in the couch is already delicate and hard to get up, but Li Tong is refreshed and more energetic than before. He turned around and flirted with him a little. Wei Tuan'er just covered his delicate body under the quilt, looking beautiful With blushing on his cheeks, he waved his hand to urge him to go quickly.

When Li Tong turned around and came to the main hall of Xianju Hall, all the female relatives who had gathered here had left, only Princess Zheng Wenyin was still in the hall to accompany the Empress Dowager and gossip about family affairs.

Just now, Li Tong was only indulging in lust, and he couldn't care less about anything else, but now he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw his grandmother and wife, and he walked forward with a dry smile, not knowing what to say.

"Frivolity is unavoidable when you are proud of your youth. Only a saint at this age is in charge of his family and country, and it is rare to show his madness occasionally."

Wu Zetian was not a strict parent. Seeing the sage's attitude, she raised her finger and pointed at him, then turned her head and smiled at the princess.

The concubine stood up and went in, saluted the saint together and returned to the table together. After hearing this, she hastily lowered her head and said: "I am clumsy and weak. Fortunately, I have nothing to do with the family affairs. The saint has toiled away, and the concubine I feel heartbroken. But the saint can live comfortably in the inner room, and the concubine has nothing else to ask for."

Hearing this, Li Tong held the concubine's catkin with his backhand, and said with a smile: "My lady is beautiful and wise. It was my grandmother who picked a good spouse for me. She is naturally blessed in the world. It is my job to run a foreign family business, and evil disasters will not disturb me." The court, and the joy of having a baby, is due to the blessing of the lady."

Wu Zetian looked at the couple with a smile, asked a few words about today's enthronement ceremony, and then waved his hands and said: "You and my wife go, there are still big gifts to be made in the future, don't leave this to disturb the old woman!"

Hearing this, the husband and wife stood up hand in hand, apologized and resigned, and then left the Xianju Hall together.

After the hustle and bustle during the day, the Daming Palace was still quiet at this time, although there was also the cold night wind blowing from the Taiye Pond, but there were palace people on both sides walking frequently and setting up fan curtains.

Lego walked up to the front and asked if he was going to board the chariot. Seeing the brightly colored lights in the corridors, Li Tong turned his hand and put Wang Hao's wrists in his palms. Looking at the quiet and beautiful face, he smiled and said, "I don't know if I'm lucky, please come with me, my lady." Visiting the Imperial Garden at night?"

Zheng Wenyin was a little surprised when she heard this, and her bright eyes opened slightly. After a while, her lips were pursed, and the corners of her mouth were raised. Under the bright lights, a pair of bright eyes were like stars hanging down in them, pure and shining.

She turned around and put her slender fingers between Li Tong's fingers, and walked ahead with a slight swing of her arms. Her yellow dress was rippling and colorful, and even the gait in a bun revealed a trace of joy: "It's not just this night, my concubine looks forward to seeing you." For the rest of my life, I can keep this luck with Saburo every night!"

The husband and wife walked hand in hand, and the moonlight in the sky was shining, blending with the prosperity of the world here, filling the journey home.

Chapter 0803 The Qi family has defenses, and the law of the country is good

Chang'an Hall is located on the west side of Daming Palace, and Zuojin Mingyi, Chenghuan and other halls are the sleeping quarters of the harem concubines.Although Li Tong had just ascended the throne and had not yet completed the canonization of the wives in the inner palace, since the wives and concubines had already moved into the palace, they were naturally placed in the vicinity.

Li Tong and his wife traveled side by side, and soon returned to the bedroom.And the children Tang Lingshu and Yang Li who left the Xianju Palace earlier were already waiting at the gate of the palace, and when they saw the two walking hand in hand, they also walked in to greet them.

"It's cold in the middle of the night, the ladies are in a new calamity, why wait outside!"

Seeing the two of them approaching, Zheng Wenyin took the initiative to let go of Li Tong's hand, and Li Tong also stepped forward, raised her hand and straightened the fur clothes of the two ladies. She was more or less cramped, so she didn't want to show her favor too much. The state of drowning.

Several people did not stay in front of the palace gate for too long, and entered the palace immediately.In Fang Ru's palace, Li Tong heard the sound of a baby crying from the inner room, and couldn't help but smile. He took off his wind-soaked overalls and robes, and walked towards the warm room in the inner room. He said with a smile: "Let me see Take a look, which little disgusting thing is staying up late at night and still disturbing people!"

However, he had just walked to the door of the Nuan Pavilion and before he could enter, the nurse Zheng Jin had come out of the pavilion, pushed him outside, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "A Lang entered the house late at night, covered in dust, Let's go wash and warm up, and come visit again!"

Li Tong laughed dryly after hearing the words, but seeing that Zheng Jin's expression was still serious, he could only suppress his eagerness, and turned to another room where the bath soup had already been prepared.

As soon as she stood still in the room, the lady Tang Lingshu walked in, seeing the playful smile on the man's face, Tang Lingshu blushed, then rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, her beautiful eyes widened and she said quite confidently: "Saint After going to the east, I only heard that there was a serious disturbance in the east capital, which made people panic and uncomfortable. They were upset and mean, and pushed me in, to see if Fulang has any physical damage?"

"Then you have to take a closer look!"

Li Tong smiled when he heard the words, raised his hand and took the little lady into his arms. After groping up and down, he felt that the little lady was still tall and slender, so he couldn't help feeling a little displeased. Remember and lightly reprimanded: "After all, after being conceived, you should take careful rest. Only by gaining fat and nourishing blood can you stay healthy. Don't be greedy for self-cultivation and beauty, and lose your body!"

Tang Lingshu's delicate body was numb from being stroked, and as soon as she lifted her long legs, she wrapped her arms around her husband's waist, hugging her neck deeply and said in annoyance, "My husband wants to scold me like this too! Everyone is talking like this recently, but I It just so happens that I eat too much and don’t gain weight, my aunt supervises me to eat every day, but I dare not give up eating for a day..."

Li Tong was even more delighted to hear this coquettish voice. He didn't think that women should have round waists and fat bodies after giving birth. After all, everyone's physique is different. He was just worried that women would deliberately diet and abuse themselves in order to maintain their figure.

He is not a person who does not pay attention to appearance, but compared to appearance, he pays more attention to feelings.Among other things, if he was really obsessed with delicate skins and indulged in sensuality, he wouldn't have been in Luoyang for more than half a year without getting close to women.Although the affairs of the Yasukuni period were busy, if you really couldn't stop your lust and agitation, there was still time for some entertainment.

Life is always full of various contradictions. Li Tong is not a pure gentleman, of course he also hopes that his wives and concubines can stay young forever, but if it is at the cost of harming the body, it is emotionally unacceptable.

Of course he has desires, but he can restrain himself. Although he is not infatuated and single-minded, he is not indifferent emotionally, especially the woman in his arms is even more extraordinary to him. significance.

At this time, he felt that the lady's slender body was still flexible and enthusiastic, and she didn't have the weakness of lack of energy and blood, so he felt relieved, caressed the lady's back, and said guiltily: "Enjoy the prosperity of the world, and finally have responsibilities that cannot be escaped. The world is perverse, and the two places are separated. My wife and I have endured the biggest test since we were born. Fortunately, we have no faults for each other! I will continue to honor and wealth for my family, and my wife will add a love to my arms."

Hearing this, Tang Lingshu couldn't help being even more moved, and whispered again: "Your husband doesn't blame me for not being able to work hard to have a baby?"

Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh inwardly. When he was still in Luoyang, the eastern capital, his wives and concubines gave birth one after another, giving him three daughters and two sons.

He himself does not have a strong concept of men and women, and under the medical conditions of ancient times, pregnancy itself would have to take a lot of risks. His wives, concubines and children can get through it safely, which has made him very happy, let alone distracting thoughts.

Of course, there is still a big difference between being a man and a woman in such a family.But now Li Tong's wonderful life has just begun, and there is no strong demand for it.Especially thinking of the indescribable relationship of their Li family, on the contrary, they don't really hope to have a son too early, but since they have given birth to each other, they should be redoubled and carefully educated.

Right now, his wives, concubines and children are all in the hall, and with the fact that he had applauded Wei Tuaner for a long time in the Xianju Hall just now, it is not convenient for Li Tong to continue showing off his prestige. Ben Nuange to visit children.

Among the several children, Tang Lingshu's youngest daughter was the oldest. She was nearly four months old. The little lady's eyebrows and eyes were already opened, and she looked pink. There was already a little bit of the look of her parents in her facial features. It's really cute.

The cry that Li Tong heard when he entered the hall just now was from this little daughter. Now that she has had a full drink of milk, the little guy Anshun is curled up in the brocade quilt.Li Tong hugged him carefully and didn't cry. A pair of small black eyes looked at his father with a silly smile, and his brows that hadn't grown eyebrows were secretly frowned, probably also curious about who this guy was. what the hell.

"Rou Niang was born with a very human nature, she seldom cries, but tonight she seems to know that Aye is coming to see her, and she has played so much that she refuses to go to sleep."

Zheng Jin stood at the side, bluffing his arms, with a nervous look worried about Li Tong's sloppy miss, but he also smiled and said, "Look at these eyebrows, it really looks like A Lang when he was young! At that time, A Lang was born, and the entire family was born. Who doesn't praise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Li Tong also felt quite warm when Zheng Jinxu talked about some old things about his infancy.Especially when he heard that the eldest daughter's breast name Rou Niang was taken by his concubine's concubine, she subconsciously glanced at Tang Lingshu who was standing beside her with her hands folded. Said: "This lady is very naughty, she even scratched me the day before yesterday... I think it's hard to live up to her name."

Now all the children are raised together in the Chang'an Palace where the princess lives, and are raised by Zheng Jin, a veteran wet nurse. Each has assigned several wet nurses and more than a dozen palace maids, and their treatment is even higher than that of their respective mothers.

Following the eldest daughter Rouniang was the son born to Princess Zheng Wenyin, who was more than 20 days away from her elder sister. As the eldest daughter of the family, it can be said to touch people's hearts.

Although the concubine did not live with her in the palace, she still visited the palace every day, and personally selected nurses and servants for her. There were as many as 60 to [-] people.The concubine's kindness is hard to refrain from, but the concubine did not want to spoil others because of this, so she took all the children together to raise them together.

Before Li Tong entered the room to visit, the palace people also said that Xiao Lang had not fallen asleep for a long time, but when he poked his head in, he found the little guy staring at him with wide eyes, which almost shocked him.When he raised his index finger and stuffed it into the little guy's half-closed fist, the kid clenched it even tighter and giggled. Afterwards, Li Tong felt the warmth in front of his lapel. A small water column came out.

"That silly boy!"

Rao was worried about getting along with father and son in the future, but when he really saw his blood alive in front of him, Li Tong was still full of fatherly love in his heart. For a while, all the meaningless distracting thoughts in my mind were eliminated.

The palace people carefully changed the quilt before entering, while the princess whispered from one side: "Xiao Lang hasn't given a name yet..."

Li Tong looked at the chubby little guy stretching his white and tender hands and feet between the fingers of the palace man, and his thoughts flowed for a while.He is naturally not as strong as his own father, Li Xian, who sent his sons away with a litter of chicks, and then said after a moment of pondering: "This child is accompanied by good luck, and the country will be stable when he is born. The style is already extremely expensive, and it is even more necessary to be careful with the beauty of Chongying, and the small characters are called slaves."

Princess Zheng Wenyin was overjoyed when she heard this. The name of the youngest son in small characters is next to nothing. The key is that the father's kindness is gratifying.As for that little guy, Li Daonu, of course he didn't have too much adult thought. He was probably a little confused when he woke up after urinating, but now he saw a lot of people standing in his room, so he burst into tears.

After seeing this, everyone hurriedly withdrew and followed the saint to another place in the Nuan Pavilion to visit the little dolls.

Yang Li is like seeing the princess, but she gave birth more than ten days later when she was about to give birth. When the little girl was born, her hair was already faintly black, and there were some twists and turns in the delivery process. Up to now, her body is still a little weak, so that she hates her. I want to give my daughter the baby name Amao.

In any case, of course, Li Tong couldn't let his daughter be named Li Amao. After entering the detective, he couldn't help but change his name to Jinniang, which is also a father's full fatherly love for his daughter.

Yang Li was still a little annoyed, she raised her hand to poke her sleeping daughter's little arm, and said angrily: "I saw Mrs. Tang sitting in the morning and evening, I thought it was just a normal thing, but it was my turn, and I felt the heart-piercing pain! This little womb is like a breed, and it will make people worry about it the most!"

Hearing this complaint, Li Tong couldn't help being happy, hugged his wife and talked softly for a while, and stopped disturbing the little baby's rest, and went to see the little daughter born to Wei Tuan'er after quitting.Wei Tuan'er's new Cheng Enlu, who just returned from the Xianju Palace, named his daughter Cheng En Maid, and she was also full of optimism.

After some sightseeing, half an hour had passed, and Li Tong didn't go anywhere else anymore, and went to sleep in Chang'an Hall that night.Several ladies sat around one place, and after a brief farewell, they dispersed, leaving only the princess to sleep here.

After everyone else had dispersed, the concubine supported Li Tong into the couch, and then whispered: "After entering the palace, I asked the internal officials to inquire. I know that there is still a lot of land in the east of Taiye Pool, and there is no lack of bricks and wood in the internal warehouse. , you can build another industry there. The scenery of Longqingfang may be beautiful, but the blood species in the world should not be raised for a long time..."

Li Tong knew that the other house in Longqingfang could not hide from his wife, so he was not surprised that the princess brought this up on her own initiative.Shangguan Wan'er also gave birth to a son at about the same time as the wives and concubines in the inner palace, the princess said so.Since Li Tong's return, he hasn't taken the time to look at it. Hearing what the princess said at this time, he feels quite ashamed.

"The concubine didn't intend to interfere with the arrangement of the saint, but..."

Seeing that Li Tong was speechless, the princess hurriedly spoke cautiously.

After Li Tong heard the words, he inserted his fingers between the princess's hair, and sighed: "I want to thank my lady for her generosity, for being able to tolerate my willfulness. But her background is different from yours after all, and she may not be willing to return to the imperial concubine... Alas, this time Let's talk about it later, after I go to ask her how she feels, I will make another plan."

"The concubine is lucky to have a heavenly family, and she is married to someone like Saburo. She is afraid that her fortune will be filthy and will be laughed at by others. Before the danger of life and death, Sanlang rescued her with all her strength, so that his wife and children can be honored and displayed in the world. But within his power, I really can't bear to disturb Saburo with mixed feelings.

Besides, that lady is also kind to my concubine, no matter what she wants, please let me know, if she wants to live together in the inner garden, my concubine will prepare a couch to welcome her, and if she just wants to hide in the city, she will never interfere.

Dao slaves are born in the same age as their children, and they may not be able to be in love with each other, but if they can make a good relationship, they are not lonely.In the next year, I will grow up and be handsome in the world, so I don't need to bury my famous blood..."

Hearing this, Li Tong felt both shame and love in his heart. He bowed his head and kissed the lady's cherry lips until his nose was slightly cloudy before slowly parting. , don’t rely on the prestige of the court, and order the housework, it’s all due to the virtue of a lady. It’s my luck to have my wife take care of the housework for me!”

"My concubine is a commoner girl, and I don't have any general knowledge. Fortunately, Yu Sanlang, women follow their husbands, even if they are shallow, they have to think deeply about human affairs. The family has often lost order in recent years, and the concubine has no personal experience. Feeling, I only stay on the empty couch now, knowing that my husband is tired of all kinds of evils, and I don’t want the story to stay in the world for a long time.”

Zheng Wenyin put her arms around Li Tong, and continued to whisper: "The big gift in the future is also an announcement to the subjects at home and abroad. Although the concubine is not a woman, she is afraid to accept it. Although Sanlang loves me deeply, please do not procrastinate." Father and brother. Although Aye is loyal, he is not known for his sophistication. As for the brothers, their talents are half-mature, and it is already an honor to be able to boast of Yuan Qi in the world. If you violate the rules and give special gifts, you will inevitably be arrogant Sexuality breeds, and family style declines or begins..."

Hearing what the concubine said, Li Tong was also filled with emotion, and said against his wife's cheek: "The Zheng family is well-educated, and since we got married, my father-in-law and others have helped me a lot. My wife doesn't have to be so cautious. In the future, the court will The amount of reward, although it will not be taken care of more because of Yuan Qi, but the old merits have accumulated a lot, and it will not be cut off deliberately."

"This is what I worry about! In the past, although the world was difficult, people's words and deeds were inevitably forced by the times. But at that time, the stage was not set up outside the imperial court, and the times were very special. Even if my father and brother had something to do here, they have already lost. It is the duty to stand upright and be loyal to the country. Today, Vientiane is back to justice. Although Saburo has the original intention of fair punishment and reward, he can't prevent the lucky ones in the world from using it as a way to donate merit.

Ordinary people, once a woman leaves home, she has already returned to another family to sacrifice. Visiting every year has not broken the rules of filial piety, and there is no reason to cut off her husband and children to fatten her parents.For this family in the world, the rules should be more profound, leaving a gap for everyone to join.Saburo is about to prosper and rule the country, and all talents in the world are competing for election. If the masses have the ability to see civil and military skills, it is better to use a woman, and the grace and power will be confused, and the selection ceremony will be abandoned! "

Speaking of this, Zheng Wenyin's face became more solemn, turned over and knelt on the side of the couch and said in a deep voice: "I am already enjoying the love, I hope that my lord will rule the world wisely, and I hope that my family will be harmonious and happy, but there is no need for additional honors if I have enough food and clothing. I implore Sanlang to agree that the descendant family is a direct lineage, not to be the governor of the two provinces, not to be the hot seat of the foreign court, to have no history of assassination, and not to be a general in the guard!"

Li Tong thought that his wife was just being polite as usual, but when he heard this, he realized that this lady was serious.He also sat up in the couch, and after pondering for a while, he said: "The Qi family has defenses, which is also a great good of the country's laws. But if you are talented, but you are sanctioned and indifferent because of this, it will also hurt the morale of the people." Ah, people will look at our heavenly family as being mean, which is not conducive to the rule of future generations."

"There are all kinds of talents in the world, how can one family be the only one? Although my concubine seldom asks stories about foreign courts, she also knows that outside the Tian family, the morals of the world will never worry about the ups and downs because of the loss of a family. If a scholar treats me poorly because of this Heavenly family favors, such lucky people don’t need it! If you have the talent of Zaifu, even if the position is only used to judge a state, you can still keep the state’s government and people prosperous. It is harmful to the country. Saburo should understand better than concubine which is more important!"

Zheng Wenyin is not as submissive as in the past at this moment, but is fighting hard with reason.

Seeing how serious the lady is, Li Tong couldn't help holding her hand and said with emotion: "If the misfortune of foreign relatives meddling in politics can be eradicated in this world, after a thousand years, the world will also be grateful for the contribution of the lady today!"

"I don't need a thousand-year-old name, I only want to live in this life. I hope that the husband and wife will be happy, the father and son will be harmonious, and I hope that my family can set an example for the world!"

Being praised so highly by her husband, Zheng Wenyin's pretty face blushed slightly, and then she threw herself into Li Tong's arms, whispering softly: "First, ask outside the corridor, and listen to my husband's praise of Mrs. Wei's melodious voice. I am ashamed and dare not speak. If Saburo works harder, the concubine will also sing with a provocative voice..."

Chapter 0804 three chiefs into Tibet

On the second day after the emperor's enthronement ceremony, preparations for the empress canonization ceremony began.

As the position of Kunji, the lord of the harem and the mother of the world, the queen's canonization is also a grand ceremony of the country.Although the specifications are slightly lower than the emperor's enthronement ceremony, the basic procedures are similar, and it is also necessary to report to the ancestors of the world and the officials to congratulate.In addition, there are women from other courts paying homage to them.

At the same time, since there is an empress dowager with an unusual status in this dynasty, the presence of the empress dowager must also be fully considered during the preparation of the ceremony.

After the enthronement ceremony was held on the second day, the wives of the outer court entered the Ming Fuyuan outside Guangshun Gate to live temporarily to wait for the ceremony.Among them, Shedi, wife of Pei Xingjian, who once served as a female official in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, was appointed as the internal etiquette envoy, and together with Ouyang Tong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Outer Dynasty, prepared for the canonization ceremony.

After staying overnight in Chang'an Hall, the Queen's bedroom, Li Tong obediently returned to Penglai Hall, his own bedroom.All the etiquette and trivial matters are handled by the secretary, and he has not been idle, there are a lot of affairs waiting for him to deal with and make decisions.

In terms of foreign affairs right now, apart from the ongoing pursuit of the Khitans in Hebei, there are no major events worthy of attention.The progress of the latest war in Hebei is also gratifying. Following the sudden death of Li Jinzhong in Yingzhou and the collapse of the Khitan army, the next battle will be various pursuits.

Among them, the three armies of Heizhi Changzhi, Tang Xianze, and Yang Xianzong have successfully joined forces in Youzhou, and the traces of thieves in Hebei have basically been wiped out.The Khitan rebels under Sun Wanrong, who originally rejected Youzhou, were also defeated by Zhang Renyuan, who had already arrived at the Hebei battlefield, and pursued them all the way. With the cooperation of the former northern generals Yang Xuanji and Zhang Jiujie, the frontier troops have entered the western Liaoning area and are starting to recover Yingzhou.

Different from the anti-insurgency war that was hard to describe in history, Li Jinzhong's main force was defeated in Yingzhou in the interior of Hebei. Although Sun Wanrong's troops still retain some strength, they are no longer a serious problem.Xi Ren's defection also caused the Khitan people to lose their greatest ally, and once this ally defected, they would be even more vicious with their knives.

Among them, Xi chief Li Dajiu alone donated the heads of more than 5000 Khitan people to the Tang Dynasty at one time. In addition to harvesting the heads of the Khitan's defeated soldiers on the frontal battlefield, the Xi people who stayed behind in the clan even invaded the Khitan people In Songmo Prefecture, they wantonly plundered and killed the remaining Khitan troops, as if they wanted to maim the Khitan people in one go.

Originally in history, Turkic Mo Chuai, who was the biggest contributor to the failure of the Khitan rebellion, not only failed to get involved in the Hequ, but also had no power to intervene in the war in the northeast because of its previous defeat in the East Surrendered City.Therefore, in the Northeast right now, Tang Jun once again holds the absolute initiative.

Of course, in this great situation, there are still certain hidden dangers.In the northeast, the number of Tang people is not dominant, and a large number of Donghu tribes live in this land. With the collapse of the Jiji order centered on Yingzhou, I want these Donghu tribes to be included in the order of the Tang Dynasty again. Come on, it still takes a lot of hard work.

The biggest hidden danger in this is the eastward escape of the Mohe people. The Mohe people are also an ancient tribe in the Donghu. If the independence of their tribe under the order of the Tang Dynasty is not considered, the power of the Mohe people is actually better than that of the Khitan.

Of course, this strength is also full of blood and tears. In the early Tang Dynasty, the Mohe people unfortunately lived between the two great powers of Datang and Goguryeo. The Sumo Mohe, the most powerful in the tribal alliance, split, and some joined the Tang Dynasty. And a group of generals of Su Mo and Fan, represented by Li Jin, came into being.

As for the other part of the tribe, they were enslaved by Goguryeo and arranged in the Liaodong area, which was at the forefront of the battle against the Tang Dynasty.The fate of this part of people is much more tragic. With the fall of Goguryeo, they joined Datang as a servant of the defeated. The leader was detained in Yingzhou, and his subordinates were placed in the Liaodong area, which was controlled by Datang and Heishui in the northeast. Mohe fights.

This time, the leader of Mohe who fled east from Yingzhou, Qiqi Zhongxiang, etc., belonged to the latter.Of course they didn't enjoy too much of the Great Tang's favor, and what they experienced more was the cruelty of the Great Tang. Of course, they had a lot of resentment in their hearts, and it was not easy to recruit them back.

Moreover, there are as many as 10,000+ households of Goguryeo survivors in Liaodong. These people are also fully integrated with the Mohe people, and they are a bit like brothers and sisters.This is also the objective basis for the establishment of the Bohai State in the original history.

In the current time and space, Li Tong certainly does not allow such an existence as the Bohai Kingdom to appear in Haidong, but he also understands that if he just blindly conquers and suppresses it, it may be counterproductive.

Therefore, he also made full use of the personnel foundation left over from the previous Eastern Expeditions of the Tang Dynasty. On the one hand, he vigorously promoted the generals of the Northeast Department. .On the other hand, it is to actively contact Heishui Mohe, and use these Donghu local forces to stop Su Mohe's escape to the east.
