[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 21 Second St. 18

Marquis Donghai was already frightened when he heard that his younger brother Hairen had been captured. He was almost pissed off by Mr. Li's "congratulations". blabla...

Mr. Li got the guarantee, and left Donghaihou's mansion contentedly, regardless of whether Donghaihou's heart could bear his stimulation.

In June of the sixth year of Xianqing, Liu Rengui escorted a group of Japanese captives to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and held a grand sacrifice ceremony in Zetian Tower.

This prisoner presenting ceremony is obviously more grand than the one four years ago. Not only the vassal kings from all over the Tang Dynasty gathered together, but even Tubo, Nanzhao, Tianzhu, Persia and other countries sent important members of the royal family to Luoyang as envoys , it seems that these people finally realized that they don't know His Majesty Li Xiaojiu well enough!

Standing on the Zetian Tower again, Wu Xu couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

In less than five years, Datang conquered the four eastern countries in a row, and the territory stretched for thousands of miles, and even took all the East China Sea, which had been undefended before, into its own territory!

Not to mention that His Majesty Li Er can't match this feat, even the emperors of all generations since Qin Shihuang have not been able to compare with Li Xiaojiu!

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, the Emperor of Heaven, can be immortalized only by this feat of opening up territories, not to mention other projects that he is still planning, such as the scientific examination system and the national education system!

Wu Xu couldn't believe that these policies that benefit the future of Fukuzawa can be implemented so smoothly, even if he personally participated in the revision and vigorously promoted them.

It can be seen how much effort Li Xiaojiu has put in behind the scenes!

It is all thanks to Li Xiaojiu that he was able to achieve the current situation where all nations came to court. Wu Xu only feels honored!

Wu Xu's joy obviously infected everyone around him.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had recuperated for many days, finally showed up, which made the confidantes of the imperial party fall to the ground.

And people such as Wang's servants, Cui's servants, etc. are also happy because of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's rare spirit - they don't care who is in charge of the current government affairs, but if the Queen of Heaven is in charge of the government affairs, the atmosphere in the palace It's going to be weirder!

The Queen of Heaven who loses her temper and scolds ministers every day is really hard to serve!

Of course, among these many people, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu should be the happiest.

Wu Xu could see how great honor Li Xiaojiu could get after Pingwa, and of course he could see it himself, even further!

In fact, whether it is in the eyes of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, his father Li Er, or even the emperors of previous dynasties, the area east of China has been the territory of the descendants of Yan and Huang since ancient times, but was later abandoned by a group of people. Occupied by the barbarians, many emperors took back their homeland, but they were burdened by internal and external troubles and could not fulfill their long-cherished wishes, which made those barbarians grow stronger day by day...

No matter how many Sui Yang emperors in the previous dynasty were wrong, in terms of expedition to Goguryeo, the wish is still good!

Therefore, the first emperor will also go to Liaodong many times...

As for the Wa Kingdom, which was not considered by the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi only saw the opponent's wolfish ambitions during the Battle of the Peninsula.

Although the other party is just a small island country, but has the heart of swallowing elephants with snakes, if it weren't for Wu Xu who warned to pay attention to guard against the Japanese country, maybe Datang's battle against Baekje would come to naught!

The battle against the Japanese island was as difficult as Wu Xu expected. The combat effectiveness of Datang's navy relied entirely on its own tall ships. opponent!

Therefore, after taking down the peninsula, Wu Xu suggested not to attack the Wa country immediately, but to strengthen the training of the navy to prepare for war, supplemented by diplomatic attacks, so that the Wa country will be in chaos first...

Li Zhi admitted that his contempt for the Wa country had gone deep into his bones, and he hadn't considered it as thoroughly as Wu Xu had thought.

The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength...

What's more, Waguo is a wolf in rabbit's skin!

After two full years of preparation, the Datang Navy's three-pronged attack, with ten times the number of Japanese people, failed to wipe out the entire territory of the Japanese country with a thunderous blow. Only then did Li Zhi know why Wu Xu valued this small island country so much!

Now, this difficult little country has finally become history, and his family, Ah Wu, seems to have let go of a big burden, exuding joy from the inside out.

Li Zhi couldn't help but feel his heart move...

The audience who had participated in the prisoner offering ceremony several times were already familiar with the procedure of the ceremony, but they were still very curious about what kind of person this false Japanese king was who made His Majesty the Emperor decree that he must be captured alive.

As a result, when the "sea people" and a group of Japanese civil and military officials were escorted out, the onlookers expressed their great disappointment.

To be honest, the 'sea man' looks very blessed, he is white and fat, he can be regarded as a more beautiful boy with a handsome face in the Tang Dynasty, but his altitude is really unbearable to look at...

Wu Xu looked at the mass kneeling in front of the building, and felt the corners of her mouth twitch!

It's no wonder that those Japanese people haven't found out that the deity has already slipped away...

Fortunately, the people of Haihai can still find such a qualified substitute!

Next, His Majesty the Emperor spoke.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu justly condemned the bad deeds of the "sea people" who betrayed his brother, disregarded the life and death of the people, promoted superstitious ideas to fight against Datang and other bad deeds, and then sentenced him to exile. Similarly, the 'sea people' were also thrown to Lingnan for reformation!

As for the other civil and military Japanese officials who followed the Dahai people, they were all sentenced to confiscation of their family property and demoted to common people.

Finally, His Majesty the Emperor also specifically mentioned Nakamitsu Kamazu, the former important minister of the Wa Kingdom, calling him a minister who was "loyal to the emperor and serving the country", and asked the Japanese to build a shrine to commemorate him in Donghai County.

His Majesty the Emperor unexpectedly praised an old minister who had lost his country, which made all the officials in the court mutter to themselves. Not long after the prisoner offering ceremony, the "Luoyang Evening News" even said, "What should a minister do to be worthy of the name of a loyal minister" As the title, a special edition was opened to discuss this issue.

For a while, scholars and celebrities from all over the Tang Dynasty and even officials from the DPRK and China all contributed articles and debated.

Taking advantage of the war of words between the top and bottom of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu issued a decree on the division of administrative regions in the northern part of Wa Island, and promoted a group of young officials to serve in Wa Island.These people are slightly different from the previous batches of people sent to Wa Island. These people were all Jinshi admitted after the fourth year of Xianqing. Excellent, he was promoted all the way to become the governor of a state not long ago, hundreds of times faster than officials in the mainland!

For a while, the proportion of young people who applied for posts in the frontier increased significantly, and the official department no longer had to worry about having no one to send.

Compared with the gratifying situation on the Ministry of Officials side, the big and small officials on the Ministry of Rites side are full of gloom.

The previous plan for the ceremony of presenting the captives was called back and redone more than a dozen times by the Queen of Heaven, and it was successfully completed. Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, His Majesty the Emperor, who had recently returned to court, posed another problem for them!

The emperor's honorary title is "Great Emperor", the queen's honorary title is "Holy Mother", the emperor and empress are collectively called "two saints", and the emperor and empress share the same bedroom, use the same standard ceremonial chariot, etc. These are still negotiable. But there are still a series of etiquette rules related to the government, such as "Hundreds of officials and people pay homage to Emperor Tianhou Yitong", "Tianhou listens to politics", "Tianhou issued an edict", etc. What should we do?

The Queen's government is upright and upright, which is really unprecedented!

Even if he is as domineering as the latter Lu, he still has to use the guise of handling government affairs for the emperor's son to claim control. Now that His Majesty the Emperor is here, what is going to happen? !

If they dared to obey the edict, they wouldn't be sprayed to death by those censors, right?

"Are you serious?!" Xiao Wu, who was also afraid of being sprayed, was also going around the Hebi Palace. She only thought that the "two saints" mentioned by Li Xiaojiu was just talking!

In other words, after killing Wa Kingdom, shouldn't Li Xiaojiu quickly put Feng Chan on the agenda?

The Fengchan Grand Ceremony, which was originally expected to be held at the end of last year, was canceled because the Tang Dynasty suddenly took military action against the Wa Kingdom.Later, because of the solar eclipse, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu didn't bother to mention it.

At this moment, the Wa country is also destroyed, and the solar eclipse has been mixed up, so why does Li Xiaojiu not go to Mount Tai while the iron is hot, but insists on making her the "Holy Mother"?

"I've been thinking about this for a long time." His Majesty Li Xiaojiu said with a rare serious face, "Those aristocratic families are trying to drive you out of the lower position all the time, how can I let them do what they want?!" He simply let them this time Look at his Ah Wu, she is not an ordinary woman who only clings to men, even if she stands with him, she is not inferior at all!

"Okay, okay..." Wu Xu hastily made a calm gesture to prevent Li Xiaojiu from getting sick again when he gets agitated.

To tell the truth, she was also tired of always helping Li Xiaojiu with half-covered work, doing a lot of practical things without success, and being slapped with black bricks all the time. Report it to Li Xiaojiu, I'm afraid her position will be pried away!

It's better to go all out and directly occupy the commanding heights, so that people can't pry even if they want to!

However, let's forget about the "Holy Mother" or something, she is afraid that if she hears someone calling her that, she will spit it out!

No, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu seemed to know what she was going to say, and immediately changed the subject: "Our Saburo is almost three years old, right? It's time to seal his household..."

As soon as Wu Xu heard that our son was involved, his attention was diverted.

"Sanlang is only two years old, isn't it too early to think about Shiyi?"

Since her family Saburo was born, he has not received as much attention as his two older brothers. This is not only because he is the third child, but also because he is a very ordinary child.

Wu Xu was not disappointed because Sanlang was not as smart as Dalang Erlang, she just hoped that Sanlang could grow up ordinary, for her and Li Xiaojiu, it is not a good thing to have too many smart children!

It's the same for Saburo, the younger brother who is more naive should be more popular with the older brothers.

If he is shrouded in thousands of rays of light at a young age, is flattered by others, always thinks that he is the most powerful, and even wants to replace his elder brothers beyond his control, then when he really meets up with intelligence and strength, he will be stronger than him Many brothers, the consequences are unimaginable!

However, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu has already made up his mind to ask Wu Xu to conceive a daughter for him when he visits Mount Tai next year!

The author has something to say: His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is going to play tricks again XD
