On the Lantern Festival, what the people yearn for the most, and what they have been looking forward to since the first day of the Lantern Festival, is probably the splendid beauty of the fireworks during the Lantern Festival.
And on the morning of this year's Yuan's Day, the people of Chang'an City and the high-ranking officials, in the joyful atmosphere of Yuan's Day, had already begun to discuss whether His Highness the Crown Prince would be as happy as he was on the Lantern Festival this year. The same, bringing more brilliant fireworks to Chang'an.
Envoys from various countries are also full of expectations for this. Regardless of whether they have personally experienced the Shangyuan Festival that year, they will know from other channels this year that the Shangyuan Festival of the Tang Dynasty was simply like a fairyland on earth.
Therefore, now that I am in the Hanyuan Hall, listening to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty conferring some ministers of the Tang Dynasty on Jin, I begin to wonder whether I should make a request to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Can I let them wait for me tonight? See the mysterious and said to be the beauty of the magnificent fireworks of the Tang Dynasty.

Jing Hui was granted the title of Marquis of the Founding of the Third Rank of Jin Dynasty...
Yao Chongjin was granted the title of fourth rank, Kaiguo Bo...
Ma Zaijin was granted the title of fourth-rank official, Kaiguo Bo...
When these civil servants who had served under the prince or were still serving in the frontiers were promoted by Li Zhi, the court still seemed a bit noisy, especially those envoys from various countries who were not as good as those in the Tang Dynasty. The ministers were so well-behaved that they listened to the eunuch's announcement while whispering or laughing in the hall.
Now in the past two days, after they were received by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they suddenly became a little complacent in their hearts, completely forgetting the prosperity, wealth and powerless power of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty in their minds.
At first, they deceived themselves into thinking that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty still respected and feared them. Otherwise, he would not have taken the time to see them while he was busy dealing with court affairs.
So at this moment, in the corner of the Hanyuan Hall of Nuoda in the Tang Dynasty, the noise of these foreign envoys was particularly harsh, and even aroused the dissatisfaction of Huangmen Shilang and etiquette officials, including Yushitai officials, but Huangmen Shilang and others looked at the indifferent His Majesty the Crown Prince beside His Majesty. They could only glance at them coldly and did not immediately accuse those people.
But these people obviously did not realize that these civil servants granted by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty this time were all civil servants who served in the border areas of the Tang Dynasty and had geographical borders with other countries.
After the names of civil servants such as Ge Xiyuan and Shi Zangjie were read out, in the entire Hanyuan Hall, only the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty began to wonder in their hearts. With such a large-scale special grant to these border civil servants, who is His Highness the Crown Prince? What's the intention
Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince plans to use this year's court meeting to make peace with the envoys from foreign countries? Yan Ge and Xi Wu? Then reuse these border civil servants to improve people's livelihood and strengthen the control of the Tang royal family
Just as they were thinking about His Highness the Crown Prince's intention of only granting civil servants the title of Jin, and the envoys from foreign countries were noisy, no one noticed that just when Huaji picked up another list of the title of Jin, His Highness the Prince finally The old monk came back to his senses from the state of meditation.
"Be louder." Li Hong sat next to Li Zhi and said looking straight ahead.
Li Zhi, who was already a little dissatisfied with the noise from foreign countries, looked back at Li Hong.
Hua Ji was also stunned, and then hurriedly whispered: "Yes, Your Highness."
"No matter how loud the voice is, I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress their noise. This is the case with barbarians. They have never been peaceful during the pilgrimage." Li Zhi thought that Li Hong was also dissatisfied with those people, so he stood on the side of the people who valued peace. stance, comforting Li Hong.
Li Hong slightly curved his lips, turned to look at Li Zhi with a smile, and said, "I don't care about their noise, I just want them to hear it clearly, so as not to blame us for not telling the world."
"Does it work?" Li Zhi paused and asked again.
"Listen." Li Hong smiled confidently, and his eyes fell on Saleh and Sudan who had never spoken.
As the names of the four famous generals of the Tang Dynasty in Anxi, namely Hei Te Changzhi, Xue Rengui, Yuan Shuji, and Quan Yi, were read out, the place where the foreign envoys were originally noisy suddenly became silent.
After the names of Pei Xingjian, Li Jingxuan, Wang Fangyi, Liu Rengui, Heng Yanfan, Cui Zhibian, Li Jinxing, Guo Shifeng and others were also read out, the whole court instantly became silent.
As for the envoys from foreign countries who originally had relaxed smiles on their faces, the relaxed attitude on their faces has long since disappeared without a trace. Each one of them had their mouths opened in shock, or their faces were ugly and their expressions were solemn. .
In short, compared to the noisy scene just now, the area where envoys from foreign countries are staying now, and the different expressions on their faces, in Li Zhi's opinion, it seems like they have just lost a relative in their family. Same, full of disbelief and shock!
On the side of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, everyone's face was filled with sudden realization and pride.
Listening to the names of these Tang Dynasty military generals in the border areas, they were promoted and granted titles by His Highness the Crown Prince. In an instant, they understood that His Highness the Crown Prince probably did not intend to be on good terms with the border states. The military generals were promoted and granted additional titles. It was obvious that His Highness the Crown Prince It is to continue to use force to glorify the Tang Dynasty and to shock the world.
What made them feel proud and proud was that none of the military generals whose names had just been read out and promoted to official positions had returned to Chang'an City. Instead, they were still guarding the border areas on the Yuan Dynasty.
But even so, the shadow of a famous human tree, just by virtue of these names, made the envoys from foreign countries take a breath and be shocked and speechless.
It's enough to imagine how powerful the reputation of these generals in the border areas and the powerful combat power of the Tang Dynasty were in their hearts.
Li Hong had obviously expected such an effect. He leaned back slightly. The old woman on the other side of Father Long was using the palace maid to cover up her actions and was poking his waist with a feather duster.
"Did you mean it? Or are you declaring war on them?"
"Mother Yingming, you are right, it is a declaration of war. I just want to see if anyone dares to stand up and question why the Tang Dynasty is attacking so many people today during such a festive festival. Li Hong smiled, tilted his head slightly, and looked at his mother who also turned slightly sideways and looked at him.
Wu Mei looked at her son who looked quite satisfied, rolled her eyes helplessly, and then continued in a low voice: "These barbarians are all from a foreign land. They don't understand etiquette and take the overall situation into account. Be careful that they attack in groups, so that I, the Tang Dynasty, have lost face in the court."
Li Zhi listened to the mother and son muttering quietly behind him, especially when he heard Wu Mei's words reminding Li Hong, he suddenly felt that what the queen said made sense. The prince was still too young. He had been in power for so many years, why was he so stupid? The problem of irritability has not changed yet.
So His Majesty the Emperor turned his head in dissatisfaction, glared at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who still looked proud, and hummed in a low voice: "If something goes wrong in today's meeting, or something that damages the face of the Tang Dynasty royal family happens, you have to think about it for a long time. sky."
Li Hong touched his nose unconsciously, then glanced at Saleh and the big cannibal named Sultan who were chatting in a low voice under the court, and said in a low voice: "Father, you have wronged me. Oh, I didn’t know that Li Zhe would meet the Japanese prince Dajin last night. Just hit him. Isn’t it too much to let him sit in front of the wall and think about it for ten days? "
"Watch that wolf of yours. If it weren't for your wolf, Li Zhe wouldn't have had a conflict with the Japanese envoys, let alone beat them up." Li Zhi thought of what happened last night, and his nose was filled with smoke. .
Yesterday evening, I don’t know how Li Zhe met Prince Dajin. What a coincidence was that Li Zhe happened to bring the dark and shiny calf Zi Lang Baiqi to fight with Prince Dajin who passed by. Had a face-to-face meeting.
Prince Ojin, who was startled by Bai Qi, looked at Bai Qi's ferocious eyes and wanted to buy the wolf if he thought it was a divine wolf.
At that time, that guy probably didn't think of his imperial sister's advice to him, or perhaps he forgot that his imperial sister reminded him that there was a lazy wolf in Chang'an City, so don't mess with it.
So how could Li Zhe, who had just returned from the border barracks, be so insulted
In Chang'an City, he was the only one who offered to buy something from someone else's house when he liked it. There had never been a situation where others dared to bid for something from him. So after a disagreement, Comrade Li Zhe beat Prince Dajin to pieces. Pig head.
According to the original story, Li Hong had suppressed the matter through Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, including the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Jingzhao Mansion, which were in charge of the security of Chang'an City in Yuan Dynasty.
But accidentally, he was caught by Li Lingyue's big mouth. In addition, when Li Hong summoned Di Renjie, Cui Zhiwen and Ren Zhigu to explain the security of Chang'an, he sounded too selfless, so the old man summoned several people. After arriving at the palace, facing Li Zhi's questioning, several people honestly explained Li Zhe's beating expression.
Therefore, Li Zhe and Bai Qi, one person and one wolf, are now imprisoned in the room prepared for humans and wolves in Zongzheng Temple. They can only spend the first day in Zongzheng Temple.
Thinking of this, Li Hong's eyes couldn't help but glance at Prince Ojin, who was sitting in the last row among the envoys from foreign countries, his face was bruised and swollen.
When the resentful eyes noticed the eyes he was looking at, they were instantly filled with awe and fear. He shrank his neck again, then moved to the side without showing any trace, and hid behind an envoy in front. , avoiding Li Hong's sight.
