  Chapter 1112 Mount Tai catches son-in-law

  In August, the Son of Heaven set out from Luoyang and sealed Mount Tai to the east.

  Go to Qizhou in September, visit Lingyan Temple, and then arrive at Mount Tai.

   Hundreds of thousands of chariots drove eastward, and hundreds of kings and envoys from vassals and vassals came to watch the ceremony. The emperor issued an order to build the altar of worship in the south of the mountain first, the altar of dengfeng on the top of the mountain, and the altar of meditation on Sheshou mountain.

  On the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, God Haotian was formally worshiped at the altar of worship. The next day, the jade book was sealed at the altar on the summit of Daiding, and walking meditation was held on the first mountain of Dailushe.

  Due to the early death of the queen and the lack of a seat in the harem, the crown prince was ordered to offer gifts to Qianxingya.

  On the altar of Dengfeng on the top of Mount Tai.

  Li Shimin put on the most grand crown today, with the sun and the moon on his shoulders, the stars on his back, and twelve coats of arms.

  Holding the jade ultimatum in his hand as a sacrifice to heaven.

   "There is a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, the son of the emperor and the people of the world, who dare to declare to the God of Haotian: the fate of the Sui Dynasty is in danger, the number is poor, and the people are dying."

"Gaozu rescued Li Yuan with a yellow axe, and rescued sinking by bestowing Xuangui... The minister honored the remaining threads and respectfully inherited the accumulation of celebrations, so he won Kunshan's dormitory, and the flames of the sea ascended the waves. Si Shi descended to Ling Qiong Hao."

   "Today, I would like to announce the completion of Dongyue, and the credit goes to Shangxuan. The great treasure is cloned, and the Hongji will last forever.

  ······

From Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Dongying, Gaya, Limup, Chenla, Funan, Gantori, Langyaxiu, Puluozhong, Lion Kingdom, Jieri, Western Turkic, Frankish, Persian Sasanian, Rome The kings and envoys of more than a hundred countries including Fu Tuo witnessed this sacred moment together.

  Especially for those blond envoys from the West, it is even more shocking.

  Whether it is Rome or Persia, or the Frankish country that was once a barbarian, they cannot get rid of the strong interference of religion in secular state power.

   No emperor or king of any country can say no to those powerful religious forces.

  But now, they see that the emperor of Tang Dynasty can directly communicate with God and ask for credit.

   "So this is the meaning of the Son of Heaven!"

  The Son of Heaven in the Tang Dynasty directly communicated with God and was the Son of Heaven, while their emperors and kings could only communicate with the Pope, etc. This is a huge difference.

  The emperor of Tang Dynasty not only holds the power of the secular state, but also holds the power of religion.

  At this moment, they are envious and worshiped.

  Queen Kinderman of Silla, Queen Fan Lin of Linyi, Queen Mo Jiemangru of Subi, and Queen Huangji of Dongying, the four queens of the vassal states dressed up and paid homage.

   "Hold the talisman to lift the image, and create a picture of the earthquake. Yingwei is ahead of a hundred kings, and the virtue of virtue is in the world."

"Tihang meets the military, completes the dedication of the soldiers and barbarians, plows and chisels the end of joy, I don't know the power of Yao and Shun. The evil eliminates the atmosphere, and increases the brilliance of the sun and the moon. Celebrating the glory of Xiurong, the complexion of misty clouds. Spiritual things arrive, rest auspiciously Committee. Jiangmao will have the same fragrance of millet, and the double girdle and one stem will be as strong..."

   Li Shimin enjoyed this feeling very much.

  As the emperor's eldest daughter, Changle also came to the east this time and served the emperor. At this time, she introduced the queens of the four vassal states to the emperor.

  "The Queen of Silla has been on the throne for ten years. When her father died of illness, I, the Tang Dynasty, sent envoys to support the Queen's succession. The Queen has been in power for ten years, and she has always been loyal to Datang..."

   Li Shimin looked at the pretty queen of Silla, and asked her daughter gossip, "I heard that the queen is still unmarried?"

   "Mmm..." Chang Le looked at this young queen, and thought it was amazing that a woman could be a king, and yet become a king without marrying or having children.

   "Give me a painting of peonies drawn by the Lord of Lelang County!" Li Shimin said.

  Kindeman is the king of Silla who was officially conferred by the Tang Dynasty, and also the Duke of Lelang County and the Lord of the Zhu Kingdom.

   Kindermann stepped forward to thank you.

   Then Queen Linyi came forward.

  Li Shimin deliberately lifted the crown of Tianping to look at her. Queen Linyi came to the Central Plains to congratulate the Tang emperor almost every year these years, but in the past, when the Zhengdan court was held, there were a lot of envoys from various countries, and Li Shimin couldn't see clearly.

   "Lizhi, what do you think of this Queen Linyi?"

  Changle had been staring at Fan Lin for a long time. The whole world knew that Queen Linyi had lost her country and her family and was in exile. Later, she had to be rescued by Qin Lang.

  Changle has seen Qin Lang's concubines, Yuxiao, Yu Xuanji, Yang Chongniang, etc., and even those concubines of other races, and she can treat them normally, after all, they are just concubines.

  Wife and concubines are very different.

  But this queen of Linyi is not Qin Lang's concubine, she can only be regarded as Qin Lang's outer room, but she is a special outer room, and she gave birth to a pair of illegitimate children.

  At this time, looking closely at the queen, she found that she was graceful, luxurious and majestic, and she couldn't help but feel jealous, even sad, and was in a daze for a while.

   Li Shimin turned his head and saw his daughter's expression, and his face darkened involuntarily.

   "Prince Nichinan please step forward!"

  The queen of Linyi was also canonized by the Tang Dynasty, not only the king of Linyi, but also the duke of Rinan County and the honor of Zhu Guo.

  Fan Lin stepped forward.

   "Keep your head up."

  The Queen looks up.

   "I don't know if Lord Rinan met Qin Taiwei in Wu'an when he went north to the Central Plains this time?"

   "Returning to Your Majesty, when the concubine went north and passed through Wu'an Mansion, he made a special trip to visit Wei Gong, but Wei Gong was recuperating on Halong Bay Island at the time, so we couldn't meet."

   Li Shimin snorted.

Rehabilitation, recuperation, what? Although Qin Lang is one of the best among all the generals in the Tang Dynasty, he is not Qin Qiong's kind of fierce general who charged into the battle and single-handedly captured the flag. The handsome who captures the king and cuts the handsome, how can there be any old illnesses and injuries.

   It has been almost four years since I left, and I still refuse to return to the court.

   "Really?"

   "Concubines dare not lie to the saint!" Fan Lin said.

  At this moment, Princess Changle suddenly asked Fan Lin, "When was the last time the Duke saw Saburo?"

  Fan Lin was a little embarrassed. After all, normally speaking, he, the king of a feudal state, would not be able to meet privately with Qin Lang, an important official of the Tang Dynasty who was recuperating in the fief.

   But he bit his lip in the end, and still told the truth.

   "The concubine visited Wu'an when he came back from Luoyang to pay homage to Emperor Bi this spring, and visited Duke Wei."

   "How was his health then, okay?" Chang Le asked again.

   "Duke Wei is in good health."

  The princess nodded, and then stopped talking.

   The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

   Li Shimin coughed to break the atmosphere.

   "Give a pair of glass vases to the Lord of Rinan County!"

  The queen stepped back, but the princess was still in a daze.

  Li Shimin comforted his daughter, "Then Qin Lang is too embarrassing, I will send a hundred riders south in a while, tie Qin Lang back, and marry you next month!"

Chang Le reluctantly laughed, "Sanlang has worked hard these years. My daughter heard that Sanlang has not been idle in the past few years. He kept his filial piety for Lord Qin Zhongwu while writing books and compiling histories. , can’t be buried, it’s so rare to find a time to calm down and write out the talent in my stomach to the world, how good it is.”

"I can't write a book, can't I write in Chang'an or Luoyang? Does your marriage affect the writing of books and history? I have tolerated Qin San for a long time. This year you must get married. I will send a hundred horses south in a while, more and more It's getting worse, you bastard!"

   Li Shimin was really angry.

  This year, he invited again and again, and called back again and again.

  But Qin Lang didn't give the emperor any face.

   The conscripted edicts were returned one after another, and Qin Lang dared to refuse the emperor's private letter.

  Anyway, good words and bad words are never allowed, this Qin Sanlang just refuses to come out of the mountain.

  Not only did he refuse to come back, but he even pushed back the wedding date he chose for Changle.

   "Father, let's talk about the private affairs of the sons and ministers later, Queen Dongying Huangji and Queen Supimojie are still waiting!"

  Queen Huangji is the new successor queen of Dongying. She was originally called the Emperor, but when she pushed the ancient queen, Datang taught the Wa country a lesson, so the Japanese became more honest.

  After Empress Tuigu died of illness, the middle school was also in chaos for a long time. There was fierce internal strife surrounding the royal family of the heir and the power minister Su'er family. King Shumei is the grandson of Emperor Minda, and Prince Tamura, the son of Prince Hikoto Oshisaka, the elder brother.

  Emperor Minda and the first empress had the eldest brother prince, and his second empress was his own sister, Empress Tuigu.

The eldest brother, the prince, was assassinated by the Suga family because he did not have the blood of the Suga family. Later, the Suga family supported Emperor Shuming because he was easier to control and more obedient than the other prince with the Suga family. .

  Emperor Shu Ming reigned for ten years, but the real power of the Wa Kingdom was in the hands of Suga. Emperor Shu Ming died of illness last year, and he was once again caught in fierce battles over the succession of the throne.

  Finally, the Suwo family reached an agreement with all parties, and Empress Bao Huang Daughter ascended the throne as the queen, called Queen Huangji.

There is a tradition of blood relatives in the country of Japan. Princess Bao is actually the younger sister of Emperor Shuming. She was first married to King Gao Xiang, the grandson of Emperor Yongming, and gave birth to Prince Han. She is beautiful but also scheming. Then she became the brother's queen, and gave birth to two princes and a princess.

  After the death of Emperor Shu Ming, several princes competed for the throne. In the end, Princess Bao reached an agreement with the powerful minister Su Wo, and she would be the queen.

  For the Su Wo family, they have supported the Tuigu Empress before, so it is of course no problem to have another empress, and it is undoubtedly more convenient for them to take power if the empress is the queen.

  At this time, Queen Huangji came to the Emperor Datang gracefully, moved her lotus steps lightly, bowed to Li Shimin, and even gave a secret glance.

  Li Shimin shuddered, feeling disgusted. It is true that the queen of Huangji is forty-eight years old at this time, no matter how good-looking she is, she is no longer young.

What's more important is that the Japanese's current makeup habits like to whiten their face, shave their eyebrows and blacken their teeth, this kind of makeup looks like a female ghost at first glance, with a white face His eyebrows were shaved off and painted two dots, his lips were painted a red dot, and his teeth were still black. Smiling at him, how terrible it was.

   After all, Li Shimin is only forty-two years old, six years younger than the queen. One is in the prime of life, and the other is completely old and decrepit.

   "Give the Japanese king a mirror of eight feet!"

   Li Shimin hurriedly said, giving the bronze mirror, he also wanted to remind the female Japanese king to take a good look in the mirror when she goes back, and don't come out to frighten people again.

  Princess Changle, who was originally depressed, couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene next to her.

   Li Shimin gave his daughter an angry look.

  Supi Queen Mo Jieshi is also the new queen conferred by Datang. He is the daughter of Prince Supi who fled to Datang before. Because Su Pi is originally a woman who is noble and a man who is inferior, and women are in power. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty revived the country, conferred the titles of the Niang family and others, established city-states, and became the vassals of the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, the subjugated Supi Mojie family was supported and proclaimed king, which is actually equivalent to the name of the leader of the small states in Upper Subi, but because the Mo Jie family died in Tubo at the beginning, the royal family has withered these years, and there is no What kind of power is far inferior to Niangshi, Nongshi, etc., but after all, the identity is there, and it is quite convenient to use it to press Niangshi and others.

  Queen Subi is very young, covered in gemstones, but her face is so red that she can't see her true colors clearly.

   "Give jade Ruyi a handle!"

   After being frightened by the Japanese queen, Li Shimin was in no mood, and quickly rewarded the queen and the following kings and envoys.

   After the ceremony was finally over, Li Shimin returned to Tai'an City at the foot of the mountain, and immediately summoned Xu Luoren.

   "You immediately take the edict of Zhenshou and send a hundred cavalry to gallop south."

   "Go to Guangnan and **** Qin Lang back to Luoyang!"

   Li Shimin said angrily.

  Xu Luoren smiled and said, "How dare you detain the meritorious service of the country."

"This Qin Lang toasts and doesn't eat fine wine, then I won't be polite to him, go and tie him back for me." He simply took off the jade sword he was wearing and handed it to Xu Luoren, "You take me If he still dares to push back his sword, you will cut off his head and bring it back to me."

  Xu Luoren quickly restrained his smile.

   "Your Majesty, there's no need to be like this. I also heard that Duke Wei has devoted himself to compiling and writing books in the past few years in the fief, and has published several masterpieces."

"There are so many scholars, great Confucian scholars, and historians in my history museum. Without him, Qin Lang can still compile history books, but my Changle is already 28 years old. I can't just waste my youth like this. I can't watch Changle day by day. Depressed, emaciated, unhappy. I have to tie Qin Lang back to Qin Lang, he doesn't want to be an official, and I don't force him, but he has to come back to marry Changle and have children!"

   "He, Qin Lang, is already thirty-two years old, and he hasn't even gotten married yet. Do you want to remain a bachelor forever? What's the proper way? Doesn't the Duke of Wei need an heir?"

   "Is he like the heroic spirit under Shubao Jiuquan?"

  Xu Luoren saw that the emperor was really angry at this meeting, so he didn't want to persuade him much.

He has a good relationship with Qin Lang. He is the emperor's confidant, a childhood playmate, and an old friend in the residence. Only study musical instrument scores, study horse scriptures, and collect good horses.

  Qin Lang didn't have any conflict of interest with him, and even both of them were close ministers of the emperor, so they could actually take care of each other.

   "Saint, I'm wondering if the Taiwei's refusal to return to Beijing may have something to do with the conquest of Goguryeo? The Taiwei has left the court since the defeat of Tubo, and he has been away for several years."

Li Shimin stroked his beard, "It is indeed possible. This kid doesn't want to fight and I don't force him. Is he the only one in Datang who can lead troops to fight? Which one can't Li Jing, Li Ji, or Su Lie? Yu Chigong, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhixuan, Li Daozong, Aren’t Chai Shao, Xue Wanche, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Liu Lancheng all good generals of the moment? When you go to see Qin Lang, just tell him that if you don’t want to go to war, I won’t force a strong man, but this marriage can be married. Can't escape!"

   "The minister accepts the order!" Seeing that the emperor's tone slowed down, Xu Luoren accepted the order.
