Great Tang princess

Summer passed quickly, and after the beginning of autumn, the daytime gradually shortened, and it began to cool down gradually in the morning and evening.

At the Shangyi Bureau, Li Chongrun's Dawn Mian was also finished, and he had an interview in the palace and took a few photos.

Not to mention, maybe it's because Li Chongrun has a good figure, whether it's the military uniform or the crown, he looks very handsome.

Lu Yao also tried on the queen's court dress, Wei Lian'er looked at it and nodded non-stop, expressing her satisfaction.

Wei Lian'er admired this daughter-in-law very much.

He has a flexible mind and is smart enough to learn everything quickly, so he can be an important support for his son.

After trying on all the clothes, Li Xian was truly relieved.

I can finally retire, and now I can relax. After a hundred years, I will go down and see my parents, at least I can hand in a good report card.

At least during his reign, not only was there no accident in Datang, but the national power was booming, which is quite good.

Although this has nothing to do with him as the emperor, as long as he is the emperor, he will always have his own share of the credit.

After trying on the clothes, the family sat in the Xianju Hall and chatted.

With a contented smile on his face, Li Xian picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Speaking of which, the time has passed so quickly. I'm about to abdicate in a blink of an eye."

"Ten years ago, you were thinking of abdicating, right?" Li Yuechen complained from the side.

Li Xian didn't object to his younger sister's complaints, but said with a smile: "I have also made up my mind, after abdicating, I will take Lian Er to play around, just like A Niang back then, to travel around the country. "

"Well, that's good. I've stayed in Chang'an, the eastern capital, for so many years. It's good to go out and see more." Li Yuechen nodded in agreement.

I didn't go out to play when I was young, and it's a good thing to go out to see the Tang Dynasty after retirement.

What's more, in Li Yuechen's opinion, my brother is not too old now, and he still has some energy to go out and play.

Don't be like your own mother. She was 80 years old when she went out to play, and she didn't have the energy to have fun.

Wei Lian'er didn't have any objections either. Rather, after so many years, she also kind of missed the sea she saw when she was in Shandong.

I always think about going to see it when I have time, but it's a pity that I have been busy with the secret guard for so many years.

It just so happens that her husband is about to abdicate now, and it's okay to be the empress dowager herself, so it's better to accompany him to play around, to relax or something.

After all these years of being busy, it's almost time to enjoy yourself.

If Li Xian wants to go out to play, the security work will definitely be fine, so there is no need to worry about it.

Compared to this, Li Yuechen was more concerned about another matter.

She turned her head and asked Li Chongrun: "Speaking of which, it's almost the beginning of autumn. Is there any problem with the military parade?"

"No problem, I have confirmed the process plan, and the soldiers of all military regions participating in the military parade are stepping up their training, and there will be no problems!" Li Chongrun replied.

After all, this is a very important event. The whole city and foreign envoys will be present to watch the ceremony. If something goes wrong, it will be a joke.

Moreover, this military parade is the beginning, and many countries will surely follow suit in the future.

So in order to be able to lead this head, this military parade should not go wrong in any case.

Among them is not only to show the high-tech equipment of Datang, but also to show the momentum of Datang's army.

In order to make this military parade well, Li Chongrun went to the logistics to ask his uncle Li Xian to approve a batch of smoke bombs.

This is also what Li Yuechen said, when the time comes to put the smoke bomb on the plane, when it flies over the Daming Palace at a low altitude, a row of colored smoke can be pulled out behind it.

And Li Chongrun also saw the effect in advance in their training, not to mention, it was really pretty.

All in all, as the chief designer of this military parade, Li Yuechen almost copied the entire process from the future.

The only pity is that in this era, military expenditures are relatively tight, and it is impossible to support a guard of honor dedicated to this.

Otherwise, the overall visual effect can be improved many times.

Although I have seen Qianniuwei's split-style training, I feel that it is quite good, but compared with the professional guard of honor in the future, I still feel a little bit worse.

But this is also something that can’t be helped. Now that the industry is in its infancy, how can there be so much money to support the guard of honor.

Of course, although there is no professional guard of honor, 66 people with pretty good image and professional ability have been selected from the royal guards to form the pacesetters.

At that time, they will stand outside the Danfeng Gate every two feet, providing a benchmark for the reviewing team.

During this period of time, whenever Li Yuechen was free, he would watch the training of the pacesetters. As the appearance of the entire military parade, their role was crucial.

To put it bluntly, the other teams just walked in front of Danfeng Gate, but they had to stand there in military posture the whole time.

And they are also responsible for the opening and closing, when the time comes, everyone's attention will be on them.

As the focus of the audience, their every move has the possibility of being seen.

Therefore, Li Yuechen has very high requirements for the pacesetters, and he must ensure that the training is in place.

……

In the midst of this intense training, it came to October, the season of harvesting autumn grain.

The household department is also very busy during this period, and various memorials are constantly reported and circulated among the cabinets every day.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Shangguan Wan'er doesn't know how many things she has to deal with every day.

Fortunately, the cabinet doesn't often work overtime, and basically can go home on time every day, and it's not too tired.

But Li Chongrun was somewhat inexplicably nervous, although he had been dealing with the government these years and was actually an emperor.

But when it was time to sit on the dragon chair, I still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

In order to relieve the tension in his heart, he picked a Saturday to come to the Princess Mansion to chat with Li Yuechen.

As his half son, Li Yuechen certainly knew him very well.

Let him sit opposite to him, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? You have supervised the country for several years, and you are already the emperor in the actual sense!"

"That's what I said, but... my nephew always feels that this seat is not so easy to sit in!"

"Nonsense, if it's easy to sit, everyone will be a wise man." Li Yuechen put down his teacup, "In short, it's normal for you to be nervous, and you should even be grateful for this nervousness."

"Why?" Li Chongrun said he didn't understand.

"Nervous, it means you are in awe of the throne! It means you know the great responsibility! This is a good thing!"

Li Yuechen said very solemnly: "Having awe and a sense of responsibility means that you will not become a foolish king! Only you can lead the country forward with a humble attitude!"

Hearing her encouragement, Li Chongrun's nervousness eased somewhat, and he said with a smile: "I'm so old, it's shameful to ask my aunt for comfort... I feel like my aunt's son..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are no different from my son!" Li Yuechen smiled and punched him in the chest.

Li Chongrun also laughed.

It was pure nonsense for her to comfort him by saying that it would make him feel completely relieved, but it would be better to some extent.

As Li Yuechen said, this is also a good thing, which shows that he has a sense of responsibility.

That being the case, when he ascended the throne, he could remember this sense of responsibility well.

……

Time soon came to the end of the year, and as soon as the winter solstice passed, the palace began to get busy.

Due to the cancellation of the court meeting on the first day of the new year, Li Chongrun's enthronement ceremony and military parade were all scheduled for the morning of the [-]th day of the new year.

On the second day after the winter solstice, An Dachuan, a Sogdian who came to Datang with his uncle to run a business, took a carriage to Chang'an Railway Station.

The main reason is that it has been almost a year since I came to Datang, and I have never had a chance to visit here.

Now that the sale of goods has ended, and the purchase of new goods has also been completed, and I will be leaving for the Great Food Kingdom after the new year, I want to take this opportunity to come and have a look.

When he first came to Chang'an, he was very curious about the endless railroad track laid on the ground, not knowing what it was for.

I heard from the locals that there will be a very long car running on this railway track without horses, just like the black lacquered iron car in the city.

But it seems that this kind of car is much longer, it can be more than ten feet long.

When he arrived at the train station, he got off the carriage and approached the train station to look inside.

Although the current trains have not officially allowed ordinary people to ride, but because they will open sooner or later, ordinary people are not prohibited from approaching.

Therefore, for An Dachuan who approached curiously, the soldiers standing guard around the train station did not do anything special.

Seeing that the soldiers standing motionless in the sentry box didn't respond, An Dachuan took a few steps forward, wanting to go over and take a look.

Only then did the soldier speak: "Hey, that barbarian! It's forbidden to enter inside!"

Hearing that he was forbidden to enter, An Dachuan looked at the coldly shining spear next to the soldier, and immediately agreed.

In this era, foreigners are more or less afraid of soldiers, mainly due to legal reasons.

For example, in West Market, besides regular shops, there are also many people who set up stalls.

Since the Zhenguan period, it has been stipulated that stalls should be at least half a foot away from the wall of the square.

If someone violates it, the soldiers in charge of inspection and maintaining order will whip it over without listening to your explanation at all.

Many foreigners who came to do business for the first time were whipped, so the foreign businessmen of their generation basically grew up listening to these stories.

Hearing this kind of story since I was a child, I naturally felt afraid of the soldiers of Datang.

So after hearing the soldier's warning, he immediately retreated.

After wandering around outside, I felt that there was nothing to see, and I didn't see the kind of iron-clad car that was more than ten feet long, so I thought it was time to go back.

But at this moment, a strange voice was heard.

"Ugh-"

An Dachuan had never heard this voice since he was a child. He turned his head violently to see if any beast appeared.

However, what appeared in the field of vision was not a beast, but a locomotive with its headlights on.

The sound just now was naturally the sound of the train whistle.

An Dachuan opened his eyes wide. Only then did he deeply realize what the local people said about the car that was more than ten feet long.

At present, although it is quite far away, it does not look big, but the loud noise just now is very powerful.

As the train gets closer, the eye can also see more details.

This car looks like a huge caterpillar, segment by segment, from his angle, the end is not visible at a glance.

When the decelerated train passed by him, he could still hear the sound of "dang bang bang".

An Dachuan stared blankly at the train gradually passing by him. He didn't know what this giant steel beast was, but the shock of seeing it for the first time made him firmly remember it in his heart. !
After the train stopped, he couldn't see what happened inside because of the obstruction of the building.

But after a short time, a group of young people in military uniforms of different colors came out of it.

At the same time, dozens of black-painted cars and several trucks also drove over from the direction of Chang'an City. After being inspected by the sentries, they entered the parking lot of the railway station.

Leaving aside those soldiers with weapons and camouflage uniforms, the group of people in the middle made An Dachuan, who was watching from afar, curious.

This group of people doesn't look big, they are all about 30 years old, there are men and women.

What they were wearing was not camouflage, but the kind of military uniforms they had seen occasionally.

But not all of them were black, some of them were wearing pure white military uniforms.

Beside them, a large number of soldiers in camouflage uniforms came out of the train station in a neat queue and began to form in the parking lot.

The camouflage uniforms of these soldiers are also different. Although they are all camouflage, some are greenish overall, while others are blue overall.

The soldiers boarded the truck after finishing their lineup, while the men and women in military uniforms were still talking to each other on the spot.

……

Li Shouyi looked around: "This is Chang'an? It feels like..."

"This is the train station outside the city, and it is more than ten kilometers away from Chang'an!" Li Linghui reminded.

Li Shu who was not far away said, "Speaking of which, I have never been to Chang'an, and I don't know how it compares to Dongdu..."

"I came back a few years ago, and I feel that it is no different from Dongdu, but the layout is better."

Li Longji, who was next to him in a pure white military uniform, stretched fiercely while talking: "Oh——"

At this time, a young military officer came over and raised his hand to salute them: "I have met you nobles, I am Captain Dou Lu Lixin of Qianniuwei, and I am here to take you into Chang'an..."

"Oh, this kid looks so similar to Wang Wuqiong!" Li Longji leaned over and said.

Doulu Lixin smiled awkwardly: "To tell you the truth, that's my mother..."

"I'll just say it!" Li Longji looked like I was very smart.

Li Shu patted him next to him: "Okay, be more serious." Then she turned her head and nodded to Doulu Lixin: "Speaking of which, I knew your mother well back then, is she okay?"

"Thanks to you, my mother is well!" Doulu Lixin replied, and then said; "Your Majesty has ordered that all nobles can enter the palace directly when they come back. I will send you to Daming Palace first."

"Well, it's hard work!" Li Shu agreed, and then waved to the others, "Okay, everyone get in the car, and we will talk in the palace."

Li Shu was the oldest of their generation, and everyone's eldest sister. When she spoke, the others agreed and got into the car one after another.
