Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the tranquility of the study, and a guard hurried in with an excited expression.

"Your Majesty! What a joy!" The guard's voice was full of joy, as if something great was about to happen. Li Shimin raised his head and looked at the guard with confusion, an inexplicable expectation welling up in his heart.

"Why are you so happy?" he asked, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

Just three days later, Li Shimin ordered all civil and military officials to go to Qingzhou, and he would personally preside over this grand completion ceremony. After the news came out, the entire court was excited. Officials are preparing their bags and looking forward to witnessing this historic moment with their own eyes.

Qingzhou, this prosperous city located in the eastern part of the Tang Dynasty, is also bustling with activity at the moment. The streets were decorated with lights and colorful flags, and people were walking happily in the streets and alleys, talking about the upcoming event. Merchants displayed various goods one after another, attracting passers-by. The whole city is immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

When Li Shimin led a group of civil and military officials to Qingzhou, the whole city was boiling. People poured into the streets, vying to witness the grace of this wise monarch. Li Shimin smiled and waved to the people. His arrival made the whole city more lively.

The completion ceremony was even more lively. The huge cross-sea bridge stands majestically, with a red carpet covering the bridge and colorful flags flying on both sides. There was a lot of people on and off the bridge, and it was very lively. Li Shimin stood on a makeshift podium at the end of the bridge, with neat rows of officials and soldiers behind him.

The whole ceremony lasted for a whole day, but people's enthusiasm did not diminish at all. When night fell, colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky in Qingzhou, bringing a perfect end to this grand completion ceremony.

The completion ceremony was not only a celebration, but also a grand event to showcase the national strength and cohesion of the Tang Dynasty. It makes the people feel the prosperity and strength of the country, and also strengthens the determination of officials to contribute to the development of the country.

Under the auspices of Li Shimin, the completion ceremony was a complete success. The entire Qingzhou City was immersed in a festive atmosphere, and people poured into the streets to celebrate this historic moment. The majestic figure of the cross-sea bridge shines in the sun, becoming a beautiful landscape of the Tang Dynasty.

After the ceremony, Li Shimin did not return to the capital immediately, but chose to stay in Qingzhou. This decision surprised the civil and military officials, but Li Shimin had his own plans. He wanted to walk across the sea-crossing bridge in person to feel its solidity and magnificence. He also wanted to take this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the people's sentiments and livelihood in Qingzhou.

For this plan, Li Shimin began to get busy. He summoned Fang Xuanling and Queen Changsun to discuss crossing the bridge with them. As an important minister of the imperial court, Fang Xuanling had rich experience and knew all kinds of affairs well; while Queen Changsun was Li Shimin's virtuous wife. She was smart and wise and good at handling various complex situations. With the help of these two right-hand men, Li Shimin was full of confidence in crossing the bridge.

"Your Majesty, crossing the bridge is no small matter. We must be fully prepared." Fang Xuanling said seriously.

Li Shimin nodded in agreement: "What Xuan Ling said is absolutely true. Although this cross-sea bridge is strong, it connects both sides of the sea after all. We cannot take it lightly. But this bridge was built by our most professional team, and I have to believe him. "

Empress Changsun also added: "Your Majesty, you need to pay attention to safety when crossing the bridge. It is best to bring more guards, just in case."

After hearing this, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and then said: "What you said all makes sense. Let's see, Xuanling, you are responsible for arranging the specific matters for crossing the bridge, including personnel deployment, material preparation, etc.; the queen is responsible for the safety of the harem to ensure that nothing goes wrong ”

Fang Xuanling and Empress Changsun agreed in unison and immediately began to get busy. Fang Xuanling summoned a group of capable officials and soldiers to be responsible for the security of the bridge; Empress Changsun personally selected a group of palace maids and guards to be responsible for the security and order of the harem.

During the preparation process, Li Shimin also personally went to the cross-sea bridge for on-site inspection. He stood at the end of the bridge, looking at the sea in the distance, and his heart was full of pride and ambition. He imagined himself leading the people of Tang Dynasty towards a more prosperous and powerful future, and he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.
