Chapter 797
Youjing, Shangyuan Festival.

Youjing Tianjie is full of fiery trees and silver flowers.
The Youjing Mansion has issued a notice long ago, changing the custom of keeping the night open for three days during the Shangyuan Festival to seven days.This also means that the people of Youjing can stay up all night for seven consecutive days.

I heard that this is also the impact of the parade of scholars after the last victory over Goguryeo.After the lifting of the curfew, for the merchants in Youjing, their profits increased by at least [-]% compared to before.For merchants who are earning a lot of money, of course, it is for Fang Yele to see their success.

Especially now, since the Turkic Tieshan Khan Court was captured and Khan Jieli was captured alive, the border troubles that had plagued Zhao for more than ten years were eliminated. Now the scholars have applied to the court to lift the curfew.And several ministers in the court also spoke up and began to discuss this matter.
In the night of Shangyuan, the lights in Youjing are brilliant, and the lights on both sides of Yongji Canal, which flows slowly in the south of the city, are as bright as day, and the stars in the sky are reflected on the river.

The music is bursting with the boats for night rafting, which are slowly descending with the waves, and the people on both sides of the river are setting off lanterns along the river. No matter the scholars in Confucian uniforms or the children in Zongjiao, they are all kneeling by the river. Lighting up lights to pray for blessings and avoid misfortunes.

In the city, the troupe of hundreds of operas in the capital is rehearsing the latest drama of Qin Qiong's night attack on Tieshan, and when Qin Qiong uses a horse to pick up two tall carts in a row, the people in the audience applaud and applaud.

On the busiest streets, the lights are as bright as day, and the brightly dressed ladies all go out at night, and the roads are blocked by cars and horses. Many women go out to suffer from various diseases, and then come to the city gate to touch the door nails to ask for a child.That night, it was the woman who was usually the most hidden in the boudoir, and she also walked generously on the street, and all kinds of pictures of ladies became the most beautiful picture scroll in the Lantern Festival in Youjing.

In the same way, the men of Zhao Jun who wore military uniforms on the street also received the favored eyes of many women.Therefore, being able to marry a lieutenant general in the army is also gradually becoming fashionable as a boudoir girl in Youjing.

In the Shangyuan Festival, which has been reformed for four years, Dazhao Fangping Turkic, the whole country is flourishing, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the time to sweep the world is just around the corner.

The Zhaoxian Building located in the south of the city is a bit old now.I don't know how many high-end taverns and restaurants have opened in Youjing recently, and the former Zhaoxian Building is no longer relevant.

However, as an old store in Youjing that has been open for more than ten years, Zhaoxian Building is always surrounded by ordinary fans.

The former Huaihuang Three Heroes, Zhou Xu, Ji Chuan, and Liu Yi once again came to the Zhaoxian Building to reunite.In front of the three of them, there are some side dishes and a jar of high-quality Huaihuang wine, aged for three years, on the table.

Since Zhou Xu was in charge of offering sacrifices to the Imperial College, his temples have grown prematurely, but he still has the demeanor of a great scholar and a master craftsman.Liu Yi, on the other hand, had a smile all over his face, and was more sophisticated.Only Himekawa has not changed much. Compared with a few years ago, there are only a few more gray hairs.

Zhou Xu first raised his glass to Liu Yi and said, "For this glass of wine, congratulations to Brother Liu for being named Marquis, and your wish will be fulfilled."

Liu Yi laughed loudly, raised his wine glass and said: "Back then when the three of us were in Huaihuang Town, we sang to the wine and wanted to carry a three-foot long sword, seal the borders for thousands of miles, and be a scholar. It is said that the stupid brother has the worst qualifications. It is far inferior to the two elder brothers, but I did not expect to be one step ahead in the matter of becoming a marquis, and I am really ashamed."

Ji Chuan sarcastically said: "This time, the war meritorious service against the Turks, there were 30 or [-] marquises. They were either illustrious in the military, or they were the leaders of the Hu tribe who surrendered. Brother Liu made him a marquis in one fell swoop. I don't know what is the reason?"

Liu Yi was used to Ji Chuan's irony, so he smiled and said, "Brother Ji, stop laughing at me."

Zhou Xu said: "Brother Liu also has the merits of managing the military rations. When Liu Bang pacified the world, didn't he also say that Xiao He was the number one? How can anyone judge the size by military merits."

Ji Chuan smiled when he heard it, and apologized rarely: "Grandmaster Zhou said that it was someone's fault, and he punished himself with a drink."

Zhou Xu laughed and said, "Don't dare."

As he spoke, he raised a glass to accompany him.

After hearing this, Liu Yi said with emotion: "Brother Ji, to be honest, you and Brother Zhou are both talented people, and I, Liu Yi, was nothing more than an oil dealer back then. It is only because of His Majesty's appreciation that I can be what I am today. In terms of credit , It's all luck, there are countless people in Zhao country who are ten times or a hundred times more talented than me, Yu is currently in a high position, and he is really a little trembling, because his position is not worthy of his talent."

Zhou Xu heard this and said, "Brother Liu, you are humble."

Ji Chuan took a bite, and said slowly: "If it weren't for Liu Bang, Fan Kui would still be a dog butcher, Xiao He would still be a scribe, and Han Xin would still be unknown. It is really thanks to Your Majesty that you are ranked as Duke today."

Liu Yi laughed and said, "It's rare to hear Brother Ji say that about Your Majesty."

Ji Chuan laughed loudly and said: "You can't look at people with old eyes. Now that I, the Great Zhao, have pacified the Turks, I just need to accumulate a little power. When Li and Tang change, it will be the Western Expedition, and when the world is pacified, we will wait for Qingshi Only by leaving a name can I live up to this useful body."

Hearing what Ji Chuan said, both Ji Chuan and Liu Yi were filled with pride, and they both raised their glasses and said, "As Brother Ji said."

"Come on, let's drink this wine!"

"Dry!"

"We will not return today if we are not drunk!"

Youjing Xingdi.

The bustling scene of Shangyuan night is also seen here.

Li Chongjiu's eldest son, Li Ying, played and played in the courtyard. Shi Deyun and Yang Ehuang both played with Li Ying happily.

Hearing the laughter coming from outside the house, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile, and then looked at the map in front of him.

Below, Pei Ji, Minister of Honglu Temple, reported to Li Chongjiu: "After the news spread that Your Majesty has pacified the Turks, the Western Regions and all the tribes in Mobei were very shaken. The Tong Yehu Khan of the Western Turks sent envoys to Youjing and presented The head of Yehu Ashina Helu who has made friends with Xieli, and decided to pay tribute to my great Zhao!"

Pei Ji was full of joy. Back then he helped Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty design the separation of the Eastern and Western Turks and split the mighty Turks. Now in the hands of Li Chongjiu, the mighty Eastern Turks were destroyed. Even the Western Turks surrendered to Great Zhao. Killed the general who had a good relationship with Jieli in the country, so as to pick Zhao Guo.

This shows that Zhao's current national strength is far greater than that of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Chongjiu just nodded slightly after hearing this and said: "I heard that Li Tang has always been on good terms with Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, and that the two sides have joined forces to fight against the Eastern Turks. Now that the Western Turks have surrendered to me, you can answer him, but you must let him." To cut off the relationship with Li Tang, not only the Western Turks, but also the countries affiliated to the Western Regions must do the same, completely draw a clear line with Li Tang."

"You tell the envoy of the Western Turks that anyone who is Li Tang's friend is my enemy, and anyone who is Li Tang's enemy is my friend. To be friends and enemies, you don't have to kill someone. I want to see his attitude. "

PS: The update has been relatively slow recently. I thought it would be finished by the end of December. It seems that it will be postponed, but it will definitely be finished within the next month.

There is also Christmas Eve, I wish you and the girls happy and happy, don't code like me here.
