I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 677 Preparing for the Grand Ceremony
Li Chengqian glanced at the somewhat smug Li Zheng and continued.

"In just a few years, you have conquered the world and accomplished a feat that has never been done before or since. Now, all tennis balls are Tang territory. This achievement is unprecedented in the ages."

At this time, Li Shimin on the side couldn't help but speak.

"Alas, we are old now. The world still depends on your Lou. You did a good job, little brat. You have brought honor to our Li family."

"Haha, future generations, whenever they mention the Tang Dynasty, they can't avoid mentioning an old man like me, but the one they can't avoid the most is you, a stinky boy."

For a moment, Li Shimin was also a little emotional.

As Li Zheng listened to the generous praise from Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, a different emotion surged in his heart. He felt that all his efforts and hard work had received the best reward.

At this time, Li Chengqian on the side couldn't help it.

"Then there's nothing for me to do, right?"

Without waiting for Li Zheng to speak, Li Shimin rolled his eyes at him.

"You're the eldest brother, can't you help him?"

Li Chengqian scratched his head in embarrassment.

Li Zheng felt extremely satisfied when he looked at the two of them.

As he said this, he accompanied Li Shimin and Li Chengqian to finish the remaining farm work in the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin complained.

"You little brat, I'm just doing farm work to kill time. You two are more diligent than each other. What do you want me to do after you finish the work?"

Li Zheng stood there in embarrassment after hearing this.

It seems to be true?

Since it was already afternoon when Li Zheng arrived in Chang'an, he stayed in the former imperial palace of Chang'an City that night.

Today, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast. Although Chang'an is no longer the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it still plays a vital role.

Now the news of the Tang Dynasty's unification of the world has also reached Chang'an City. Similarly, Chang'an City is also plunged into a sea of ​​joy at this time.

Li Zheng could also hear the people of the Tang Dynasty in the city cheering "Long live the Tang Dynasty" in the palace.

Listening to this continuous sound, Li Zheng's heart also softened rarely.

The Chinese people are the best people.

In fact, Li Zheng also had some plans of his own in mind.

He planned to hold a grand ceremony in Chang'an City to commemorate the unprecedented achievements of the Tang Empire.

With a plan in mind, Li Zheng fell asleep with the cheers of the people in his ears.

As soon as the next day dawned, Li Zheng mentioned the celebration to the two directors and extended an invitation to them.

"Li Zheng, what exactly do you plan to do?"

After listening to this, Li Shimin asked Li Zheng.

"This is an unprecedented grand ceremony, truly a gathering of all nations."

Li Zheng paused and then continued.

"I plan to invite all the leaders of the Tang Dynasty's colonies to the capital, and announce to these foreign races that the Tang Dynasty has accomplished the great cause of unifying the world."

"Let them see with their own eyes the birth of our Great Tang Empire. This is a kind of deterrence and also a kind of testimony."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was also moved by the scene described by Li Zheng.

It’s not like the Tang Dynasty had not held grand ceremonies before, but at most there were only a dozen or so small countries involved.

Although the Tang Dynasty also declared to the outside world that all nations came to pay tribute, that was just an exaggeration.

But this time is different. The whole world is now under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. It can be imagined that the scale of this grand ceremony will be unprecedentedly grand.

And this is the true coming of all nations.

If the two of them were absent from this grand ceremony, they would surely regret it for the rest of their lives. Thinking of this, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, father and son, looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts.

"Li Zheng, when do you plan to set the date?"

Li Shimin spoke to Li Zheng upon hearing the news.

"In three days."

Li Shimin nodded upon hearing this.

"Haha, such a grand occasion, I, an old man, must go and witness it."

Needless to say, Li Chengqian came to Chang'an to take care of and accompany Li Shimin, and now he must follow Li Shimin back to the capital.

Besides, Li Chengqian naturally didn't plan to miss such a grand event.

Li Zheng was very happy to see that both of them agreed.

This ceremony will only be meaningful if it is witnessed by the closest people.

After establishing the basic rules, Li Zheng stayed with the two for a while before leaving in a hurry.

A telegram was sent to the Minister of Rites Zheng Fang regarding the holding of the grand ceremony. As the emperor and his subject have been friends for a long time, Li Zheng believed that Zheng Fang would arrange the subsequent matters properly.

Time passed quickly, and one day passed.

When Li Zheng's child was on the road.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty, Beiping Prefecture.

Because of Li Zheng's imperial edict, ordinary days became as lively as Chinese New Year.

The people of the capital spontaneously organized dragon and lion dances and began to perform in the streets and alleys, and even opera troupes spontaneously set up stages to perform.

The people cheered and celebrated to their heart's content.

It is worth mentioning that since Li Zheng ascended the throne, he has abolished the curfew and vigorously developed the night economy.

Therefore, the bustle of Beiping City today is no less than what Li Zheng experienced in his previous life. In fact, since people in this era do not have many entertainment activities, the bustle is far greater than Li Zheng's previous life.

Moreover, after vigorous publicity by Tang Dynasty officials, Li Zheng's popularity among the people reached its peak.

From the elderly to the young children, everyone is full of praise for Li Zheng when he is mentioned, and they can easily recite the stories about Li Zheng that are widely circulated among the people when asked.

The former kings and royal families of various countries also flocked to Beiping City. Li Zheng needed their witness.

Today, as the center of the Tang Dynasty, the city of Beiping is now inhabited by a large proportion of the former foreign races.

But according to the current laws of the Tang Dynasty, these foreigners are just low-class pariahs.

To describe it another way is that the social status of the descendants of Yan and Huang is now at the top of the pyramid, which is somewhat similar to the caste system of a certain country in the previous life.

Even when meeting ordinary people, one must lower his posture, be humble, and follow the rules and etiquette, and not transgress them in the slightest.

Time passed, and on the day before the celebration, almost all the former kings and royal families of various countries had arrived in Beiping City under Zheng Fang's arrangement.

Under Zheng Fang's arrangement, the kings of various countries entered from the west gate of Peking.

Zheng Fang also released the news in advance, allowing the people of the Tang Dynasty to visit these former rulers and dignitaries.

noon.

The former Queen Victoria of the Kingdom of John and her entourage slowly entered the heart of the Tang Dynasty - the city of Beiping - from the west gate.

Behind Victoria were former Western kings such as King Pecker of France and Spain.

Now, in their eyes, the Tang Dynasty is mysterious and powerful.

They are also very curious about the Tang Dynasty capital that conquered this world.

As soon as they entered the city gate, what caught their eyes were the tall and neat houses and wide streets. Everything was so well organized, which was in line with their imagination of the Tang Dynasty.
