Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 216 The Young Detective and the Frustrated General

"My lord, my lord, the child is back."

Wei Shuyu's voice sounded in the courtyard.

Wei Zheng's family education is extremely strict.

This is also a habit that Wei Shuyu developed when he was a child.

Once back to the mansion, the first thing you need to do is to say hello to your parents.

"Shuyu, come to the study..."

"Hey……"

Hearing his father's call, Wei Shuyu agreed and went straight to the study.

After stepping into the study, Wei Shuyu saw his father's serious face, and immediately closed the door.

"Father, brother-in-law wrote again?"

"Well, you can see for yourself, your brother-in-law, let you take advantage of the identity of the head of the Imperial College, and send someone to Hedong to find these two..."

Wei Shuyu took the letter from his father and examined it carefully.

After putting down the letter.

Wei Shuyu said.

"Father, it's not too late. My son, I'll send someone to Hedong right now. They must be brought back to Chang'an City before the Shangyuan Festival."

Wei Shuyu is too aware of her brother-in-law's ability.

Last time, his brother-in-law asked him to go to Hedong to find Xue Rengui.

As a result, Xue Rengui was in a terrible mess.

Even the three generals Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao had to be convinced.

Through the battle of Tubo, it proved that Xue Rengui was not only brave, but also resourceful.

I don't know brother-in-law, but what kind of extraordinary talents are these two people who value this time!
"Okay, since that's the case, Shuyu should send someone there quickly."

"Father went to Jiangxia County Prince's Mansion. After all, these two, in order to deceive others, wanted to pretend to be the servants of the County King and go to Luntai City with the County King."

Wei Zheng and his son split up and acted immediately.

Wei Zheng went straight to the mansion of Li Daozong, Prince of Jiangxia County.

Wei Shuyu went to the most lively East Market in Chang'an City.

Outsiders don't know that in Chang'an City of Tang Dynasty, the busiest East Market, there is actually a stronghold for His Highness King Qin and Qian Qisi's spies.

Wei Shuyu soon got in touch with a small team leader.

After some exhortations, the team leader immediately agreed.

Inside the mansion of Jiangxia County King Li Daozong.

After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Daozong agreed without hesitation.

It's just a matter of two Fu Ding, this trivial matter is still very simple.

Although, this trip to Luntai City, the princes and princesses went together.

Who would care about the existence of the two servants!
What's more, apart from Hejian County King Li Xiaogong, the princes and princesses rarely set foot in their mansion, and they don't even know the servants in the mansion.

The night before the Zhengyuan Festival, that is, the night of New Year's Eve.

For the first time, Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to send an edict to all the ministers, and specifically told them to bring their family members with them.

And the destination turned out to be the most spacious in Chang'an City, the Suzaku Gate opposite Suzaku Avenue.

This move has left many civil and military officials puzzled.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Jian Guo has just announced that the curfew has been lifted.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and the streets in Chang'an City must be full of tourists.

Suzaku Avenue must be the street with the most traffic.

Does His Majesty want to share the joy with the people again by doing this?
Hundreds of officials and their families gathered at the gate of Suzaku, opposite Suzaku Avenue.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson empress arrived at the gate of Suzaku in the emperor's car, accompanied by Li Chengqian, princes and princesses.

Even the concubines in the harem arrived together.

The ministers understood that this is really to have fun with the people.

"Chengqian, come, have someone put the fireworks at Suzaku's door."

"Tonight is the New Year's Eve. The empress and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty should enjoy the joy with the common people..."

When Li Shimin and Empress Changsun returned, they pulled four carriages full of fireworks.

The purpose is to let civil and military officials and the people of Chang'an City witness the beauty of this gorgeous fireworks on New Year's Eve and Shangyuan Festival.

"My son, please obey the imperial father's orders!"

Prince Li Chengqian, in Luntai City, has seen the splendor of fireworks with his own eyes.

Li Chengqian was so happy when he learned that his father and queen mother brought many fireworks when they came back!

Tonight, the two-carriage fireworks will be set off, and the remaining two-carriage fireworks will be set off on the night of the Shangyuan Festival.

Moreover, the father and mother have already told Qingque to go to Luntai City this time, and when they return, they must bring more fireworks back.

It will be even more perfect if you can bring a few craftsmen who make fireworks.

When the sky filled with fireworks, soared into the sky at the gate of Suzaku.

The night sky of the entire Chang'an City was dotted with colorful colors.

"Wow, it's so beautiful..."

Little Xinyue broke free from her mother's hand and was about to run into the pile of fireworks.

Chang Le was frightened, and quickly hugged the lively little girl.

"New moon, although the fireworks are beautiful, don't get too close..."

The ignorant little Xinyue was in her mother's arms, looking up at the colorful fireworks in the sky, and flapping her hands vigorously.

The civil and military officials were all stunned by the scene before them.

Compared with the joy with Xiao Xinyue, the officials were more shocked and shocked.

What kind of fairy object is this, it can make the night sky shine in one fell swoop, and the color is so gorgeous.

All gymnasiums and temples around Chang'an City.

The Taoist priests in the gymnasium and the monks in the temple were even more shocked.

In the eyes of Taoism, this is the supreme fairy art.

In the eyes of Buddhists, this is an incredible gift from heaven.

Right now!

This is the situation!

It has the largest population and the largest city in the world.

In the entire city of Chang'an, after a short period of shock, the common people completely boiled over.

When he learned that this object was ordered by His Majesty to set it off at the gate of Suzaku.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Thousands of people shouted in unison.

The voice soared straight into the sky.

The bursts of cheers and applause made this cold winter night warm up.

What is cold is the temperature, and what is warm is the heart.

Among the officials, Li Chunfeng, Taishi Ling of the Taishi Bureau, stared wide-eyed.

This object, which should not have appeared at this time, actually soared into the air right under his nose.

Li Chunfeng's eyebrows and beard trembled together.

Brother Tiangang, everything is exactly as you said!
His Royal Highness King Qin, relying on his own strength, is trying to turn things around and make many impossible things possible.

Is it really as brother Tiangang said?

Because of the appearance of His Highness King Qin.

I will be lucky enough to witness the prosperity of the millennium later!
At this moment, no one noticed Li Chunfeng's agitation and abnormality.

The cheers of the people became louder and louder, and the sound waves completely covered the howling north wind.

For the first time, the one hundred and eight squares in Chang'an City have completely reached the point where no one is kept in the squares.

Even the envoys came to the street together, looking up at the beautiful fireworks in the night sky.

Longyan Joyful Li Shimin gave an order.

The Jiaofang Division was at the gate of Suzaku, and began to play the Qin King's Breaking Array.

"My lords, the reason why I played the Qin King's Breaking Array Music is because the splendid fireworks were made by the Qin King..."

Li Shimin's words don't contain too much information.

It is clear that the crown prince Li Chengqian has been in charge of the country, and Li Shimin has never been king since then.

State affairs and government affairs are all handled by Prince Li Chengqian.

At this moment, Li Shimin asked Jiaofang Secretary to play the Qin King's Breaking Array Music for the splendid fireworks.

What is the moral?

The joy of the King of Qin breaking the formation was done for Li Shimin as the King of Qin to conquer the world!

Now, Li Shimin wants to dedicate this Qin King's Breaking Battle Music to the new Qin King.

Many civil and military officials had to think seriously!

The officials are all people with online IQ, otherwise they would not stand out and be able to gain a foothold in the court.

It seems that the prince's supervision of the country is not as simple as imagined.

Fireworks bloom!

The music is melodious!

The bonfire on New Year's Eve was lit, and every section of bamboo was thrown into the fire.

The crackling sound echoed in Chang'an City.

This is the Huaxia clan, the ancient firecrackers.

It is also said in ancient poems: the sound of firecrackers kills the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.

In front of the Suzaku gate, the King of Qin broke the formation and the music was melodious, and the singing and dancing of the Jiaofang Division was indeed pleasing to the eye.

The people on Suzaku Avenue are naturally unwilling to be lonely.

Under the blooming of gorgeous fireworks.

The people also spontaneously began to sing and dance.

The folk customs of Datang are open.

Even many girls waiting to be released from the cabinet happily joined the singing and dancing team.

Happiness is contagious, and even a smile is contagious.

Otherwise, how could you laugh when you see others laughing?
This is the simplest and most direct infection.

Right now!

This is the situation.

Both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun had bright smiles on their faces.

The last firework as thick as a bucket.

It burned for more than a quarter of an hour.

Count the height of this super huge fireworks, and count the gorgeous fireworks it sprays.

Even ten miles around Chang'an City, it can be vaguely seen.

Li Shimin boarded the carriage and stood on the emperor's car.

Look up.

Li Shimin's mood at the moment is extremely proud and proud.

He has been on the throne for more than ten years.

The entire Tang Dynasty began to change its appearance.

Li Shimin naturally knew who contributed the most to all these changes.

Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked northwest.

What a big son of the father!
At this moment, it must be very lively in Luntai City!

It was the first time for the young slave and the son not to watch the year by the side of their father and mother.

As the eldest brother, father and queen, I believe you will take good care of them.

Luntai City thousands of miles away.

Li Gen, who was accompanying Zhinu and Sizi, admiring the fireworks and the Luntai City Spring Festival Gala, sneezed hard.

Li Gen raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Chang'an City.

His face was full of thoughtful melancholy.

…………

Zhengyuan Festival, the Great Court Meeting.

Li Shimin, who is dressed in a yellow dragon robe and the crown of the emperor, and Empress Zhangsun, who is dressed in a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown.

Together with the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the Crown Princess, they set foot in the Hall of Xiande.

What surprised all the civil and military officials was that even many princes and princesses all wore royal and princess costumes and crowns, and followed His Majesty and Empress Empress. .

The historian's eyes widened.

I don't know what His Majesty's intention is for this move?
Today's Great Court Meeting.

It is different from the court meetings of the past.

The biggest difference between Chaohui and Dachaohui lies in a large character.

The reason why it is called big.

Because, according to the etiquette system, only officials of the fifth rank and above can participate in the court meeting.

That is to say, officials below the fifth rank are not qualified to go to court to discuss politics.

Only when you reach the fifth-rank official status can you be qualified to go up to Tianting.

The difference of the Great Court Meeting is that all officials, big or small, who are in Chang'an City, as long as they are officials, need to come to the Great Court Meeting.

This is also an opportunity for many officials to show their faces in front of His Majesty and the Empress once a year.

Although they also knew that His Majesty and Empress would not notice them at all.

However, everyone still wore brand-new official uniforms, and lined up behind the officials in high spirits.

With the rapid increase in the population of Chang'an City, the number of officials is also increasing, so that the gate of Xiande Hall is crowded with newly promoted officials who have just set foot in official careers.

"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty, see Empress Dowager."

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince, see the Crown Princess!"

Led by Prime Ministers Ma Zhou and Cen Wenwen, all the officials respectfully saluted and worshiped.

"My lords, please be free from courtesy!"

Li Shimin Longyan Dayue put his hands flat and raised them slightly, signaling all the officials to flatten their bodies.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The voices of all the officials were loud and uniform.

Let the entire Xiande Hall reverberate around the beam.

Li Shimin looked around the court hall, there were many faces, but Li Shimin was a little strange.

Li Shimin knew that those were all new officials.

"My lords, I have been ignoring state affairs for some time."

"Today is the annual Grand Court Meeting, and the Empress and I came to attend the Grand Court Meeting according to the etiquette system."

"My queen and I, the reason for bringing all the princes and princesses to Xiande Hall today."

"Because, after the Shangyuan Festival, I and the Empress intend to let them go to Luntai City. As for the purpose, it is naturally to let them follow King Qin so that they can study for a while."

Li Shimin's brain circuit is definitely novel enough.

Li Shimin can't say that all the princes and princesses went to Luntai City to cure their stubborn illnesses!

As such.

What will people in the world think?
Everyone in your Li Tang clan has stubborn illnesses?
Did you do too many bad things?
Retribution?
Even if no one dares to speak out in person.

The discussions behind the scenes are absolutely explosive enough.

"My lords, it has been less than a year since the crown prince cured his stubborn illness in Luntai City. However, in this less than a year, the prince's change has been witnessed by all your lords. I and the empress are also very pleased."

"After some inquiries with the queen, the prince admitted frankly that his change was due to the subtle influence of King Qin, as well as his study at Luntai City College."

Li Shimin started fooling people, not to mention that he could fool the dead, at least he could make the living stunned for a while.

"In view of this, after discussing with the queen, I decided to let the princes and princesses go to Luntai City after the Shangyuan Festival. I hope that my King Qin can make them all progress..."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the officials saluted and shouted.

Li Shimin nodded happily, and then spoke.

"My prince and princess are traveling far away, so they will naturally send reliable people from the clan to escort them all the way."

"In view of this, I have decided to send the two county kings, Prince Hejian and Prince Jiangxia, to escort the princes and princesses all the way to Luntai City."

"Your Majesty, please obey His Majesty's orders."

Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County, and Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia County, saluted together and respectfully accepted orders.

The two naturally knew why His Majesty did this.

This is for the sake of Li Tang's family's face.

Everyone in the family is plagued by stubborn illnesses, so it's not too scary to tell them about it.

After the court meeting, there will be an exhibition.

It is equivalent to the exposition of later generations.

That is to say, in recent years, the latest achievements of Datang's various industries will be displayed one by one.

In the past, such a grand meeting was a grand meeting for Li Shimin to observe the technological development of the Tang Dynasty for various grassland tribes and affiliated countries.

Now, Li Shimin has canceled such an opportunity to pretend.

Since the Eastern and Western Turks were completely conquered, the various tribes in the grassland have been fully integrated into the Tang Dynasty through the means of cultural invasion under Li Gen's ingenious plan.

As for the dependent countries?

Strictly speaking, there is now only the Silla Kingdom as a subsidiary country.

Because of the relationship between Prince Li Chengqian and Princess Feifei of Silla, Li Shimin and King Silla are also considered in-laws.

For this reason, Li Shimin canceled the tribute of Silla, and also gave certain support and help at the economic and technical level.

Although the land area of ​​Silla Kingdom is small, because it is on Li Shimin's thigh, it is a joy to live a small life now.

At the exhibition, all kinds of latest scientific research achievements of Datang were displayed one by one.

The officials were also able to feast their eyes.

Prince Li Chengqian looked at these objects, and his heart was calm.

Compared with the technological development of Luntai City, the various instruments on display are simply too backward.

Li Shimin Longyan said happily.

"My lords, it's a pity that there is an object that I and the empress have witnessed, but because of its size and weight, there is no way to bring it back to Chang'an City."

"My King Qin, the latest invention is a machine called a steam engine, which can replace human labor and work non-stop for twelve hours. The production efficiency and speed cannot be described in words..."

Li Shimin's voice fell to the ground, and the scene of the exhibition was in an uproar.

Li Chunfeng's eyebrows and beard trembled again.

Steam engine?
The ministers naturally don't know what a steam engine is.

However, every man knows it.

But anyone with a word machine is very powerful.

And sometimes it's ever-changing, big or small, soft or hard.

Size and hardness, depending on state of mind.

Perhaps, this is the earliest, the source of attitude determines everything!
Li Shimin looked at the shocked and stunned ministers, and he felt very flattered in his heart.

Everyone looks like they have never seen the world, is that all?It's shocking to be like this.

Taking advantage of the exhibition at the Great Court Meeting, Li Shimin decided to shock the officials.

"My lords, within five years, my King Qin will make the distance between Luntai City and Chang'an City, thousands of miles, no longer a long and distant distance."

"At that time, the time needed to travel from Chang'an City to Luntai City will only be three days..."

When Li Shimin's words fell to the ground, everyone was dumbfounded, and their eyes widened.

The newly promoted officials at the door were even more thumping, and fell down at least five, six, seven or eight.

That's it?

Li Shimin saw a large area of ​​the door collapsed, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

On such a day of national celebration, Li Shimin would naturally not blame them for their disrespect in front of the palace.

If he didn't fall a few times, Li Shimin would be dissatisfied.

"My lords, at that time, I and the empress will take all my lords to visit Luntai City in person."

"Let all your lords take a look at how prosperous, rich and beautiful Luntai City is under the rule of our King Qin..."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson empress walked away with great joy, and naturally all the princes and princesses followed behind.

On the eve of the Lantern Festival!
A carriage went straight to the gate of Wei Mansion.

The man driving the carriage jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door knocker of Wei Mansion.

　Presumably many book lovers have already guessed that Detective Di Renjie is about to make his debut, isn't it a little bit of anticipation?The author Bacteria is also looking forward to it, hee hee!Thank you for your support and encouragement.
