The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is the New Year’s Eve of the Tang Dynasty!
The Tianying Pavilion debate has come to an end in three days. Li Yuanxing did not want to get involved, but he became the final adjuster of Tianying Pavilion's position.
What did Li Yuanxing do?
In fact, he did nothing, but he sat down. Because he sat on the Tianying Pavilion concierge and listened to the last debate, which served as a witness for the final selection of Tianying Pavilion candidates.
In return, Tianying Pavilion passed the first meeting unanimously.
Li Chunfeng requested an edict, and Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to change the name of the year to Zhenguan. The title: the 848th year of the First Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the first year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty. This imperial edict was signed by Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, and was accompanied by a celestial edict.
Signed by one hundred nobles in the Yingge and eighty admonishers in the Admonition Pavilion.
This was the first official imperial edict in the Zhenguan Year, and it was also an imperial edict signed by ministers other than the emperor.
The person responsible for reciting the imperial edict was Wang Jishan, the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty!
The era name means praying for blessings, praising and changing dynasties. The era name is considered to be the orthodox symbol of ancient Chinese emperors and represents the legitimacy of the regime. It is called "Feng Zhengshuo".
However, if one regime uses the reign name of another regime, it is considered to be a vassal state and one of the signs of surrender.
Therefore, Confucian scholars did not agree with the date of the First Emperor's reign in 848, but they believed that Qin Shihuang's unification was a great achievement. After several discussions, they reluctantly agreed, but requested that the personal reign name of Qin Shihuang not be reflected, and the meaning of the scriptures should be changed.
Huang means the first emperor of China, symbolizing the orthodoxy of Chinese imperial power.
Li Yuanxing laughed when he heard this explanation. It was really a cat's meow. Who can say that Yingzheng was not the first emperor?
What Confucian scholars really agree with is another sentence of Li Yuanxing.
"Everyone, if people in the world record the year, they will add the year of the First Emperor of China in front of it, and then their own imperial year. What does this mean?"
What does it represent? It represents the supreme power and the master of the world.
As the Minister of Rites, Wang Jishan took the opportunity to recite this imperial edict. When this imperial edict was issued, an envoy immediately sent the letter of credence: "Mohe would like to dedicate the eighth hundred and forty-eighth year of the First Emperor of China as the official calendar.
.”
Mohe would not shout about the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, because this is the meaning of voluntarily reducing himself to a vassal state.
But the meaning of "Feng Shihuang 848" is different. It is the Chinese title of a great emperor, which is equivalent to the title of respecting the gods. It is not surrender, but worship!
Li Yuanxing, who was standing on the wall of Zhuque Gate in Chang'an City, approached Li Er and said, "Brother Emperor, this guy is very smart. A word of nonsense can at least cost me a thousand catties of pig iron, or five hundred swords!"
Li Er glared at Li Yuanxing: "The great lord of the country, you dare to speak even if you have five hundred swords!"
Li Yuanxing smiled and said no more. He strode to the city wall and climbed onto the ceremonial stage. The guard handed over the microphone with both hands. Li Yuanxing patted the microphone: "There are still eight hours until the first year of Zhenguan. Today is Wude."
It’s the last day of the ninth year. I have prepared a ten-day New Year celebration. Everyone, please remember to buy a newspaper, which will have a detailed schedule. However, there is no today, why not today.”
Li Yuanxing laughed, and the people under the city wall also laughed.
In the hearts of the people, the King of Qin was majestic, and His Highness the King of Qin had won a great victory for the Tang Dynasty.
"There is no schedule today, because I, as a son, want to give my father a gift today. I am not the King of Qin, but the son of man. I hope that today, my children, I can give my elders who have worked hard for a year a little thought.
, even if it’s just a bowl of hot water.”
When Li Yuanxing spoke, he actually cried.
When Li Yuanxing came to the Tang Dynasty, he had no relatives in modern times. His father was gone, and his brother who raised him also passed away early.
These tears are genuine, especially during the Chinese New Year, Li Yuanxing will think of his childhood home.
Li Yuanxing's tears moved everyone. Even Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty came over and patted Li Yuanxing's shoulder gently, and stood together with Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing wiped away his tears: "Youshi! Outside Chang'an City, there is the Tang Dynasty Arena in Fengqiyuan. I invite the people of Chang'an to come and have a look. I and my brother are going to present gifts to my father!"
"The Holy One is benevolent and filial, the King of Qin is benevolent and filial!" the people began to cheer.
Li Er took the call. Originally he didn't plan to come out, but seeing Li Yuanxing's limelight was really exciting. So he took the phone and waved his hand, and the cheers of the people slowly quieted down.
Li Er naturally knew what Li Yuanxing was going to do next.
"People of the Tang Dynasty, I announce that the New Year's celebration will begin at Unity Time tonight and will last until the tenth day of the first month of the first year of the year. During this period, the curfew in Chang'an City will be lifted, the streets will not be closed, and the shops will not be closed. Feng Qiyuan
There are celebrations every day, starting at noon and ending at midnight, and every Chang'an citizen who attends will receive a royal gift."
There was another continuous cheer.
When the people calmed down again, Li Er suddenly stood up straight: "In the past ten days, the soldiers guarding the border of the Tang Dynasty have worked hard. I..." Li Er couldn't continue. The original line was Li Yuanxing's,
It should be something like, I would like to thank you on behalf of Datang.
But Li Er was the emperor, so he couldn't say such things.
At this moment, Li Er performed a military salute of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Jing was stunned. This was definitely an accident. No one told him beforehand. He quickly made an exception and came to Li Er. He solemnly performed a military salute: "On behalf of the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, I swear that I will never give up for the sake of the Tang Dynasty."
!”
Li Jing reacted, but more people were shocked. The people didn't understand what happened at all.
Li Er raised his voice: "The imperial army of Chang'an, guarding Chang'an. Thank you for your hard work during the New Year Ceremony of the Tang Dynasty!" After that, it was another military salute of the Tang Dynasty. Li Er did not know how many times he had performed such military salutes when he was the king of Qin.
This time, even though he was not wearing armor at this time, he still looked like a king.
"Guarding Chang'an, thousands of heroes!" Qin Qiong stood up, and in response to his response, tens of thousands of forbidden troops shouted in unison.
"There will be no curfew in Chang'an City for ten days. The people are celebrating, but the military princes are not allowed to rest and have to stay on duty all night. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Chang'an. I will specially reward each person with a set of winter clothes and one hundred dollars." Li Er said excitedly.
Well, even Marquis Wu even thanked him by the way. Li Yuanxing patted his head upon hearing this, thinking that this should be his own line.
The entire city of Chang'an almost knelt down, shouting for the sage to be wise and mighty.
There were people shouting and everything, it was already chaos.
Li Er was very excited. He felt that he was so wise. Such an opportunity should not belong to Li Yuanxing, but to himself, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"You'll lose money!" Wu Zhao said happily from the sidelines.
"It's a loss. The sweaters from Marquis Wu add up to hundreds of guan. The gifts in the arena, after ten days, are nearly 1,000 guan. This amount is huge. Why not find a way to earn it back!" Li Yuanxing also whispered.
.
Wu Zhao chuckled.
When we got off the city wall, it was actually around two o'clock in the afternoon according to modern time, and seven o'clock in the evening during the Youshi period.
There were still five hours left, and Li Yuanxing was ready to go to the Coliseum to check it out in person. But someone reported that the Khitan King was only five miles away from Chang'an. Because of the heavy snow, the road was difficult to travel, so Qingqi came first, just to get some time before the New Year.
Congratulations to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Honglu Temple has already sent people to greet him.
"Very good, give him the treatment of a first-class VIP!" As soon as Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Wei Zheng stood up to object.
"Your Highness, the Khitan is just a gathering place of nomadic people who are still somewhat chaotic. Their so-called king cannot be called a king. His prestige is far from enough to control all the Khitan tribes. Therefore, he cannot be treated as a first-class VIP.
What do Uihe and other Khan kings think of this!"
Li Yuanxing pointed at Wei Zheng and said to himself that you are so stubborn and still want to do big things.
But Li Yuanxing cannot be blamed. The reason is very simple, because what Wei Zheng said is right and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
"In this way, tell King Khitan that I will entertain him."
"It works!" Wei Zheng nodded, gave a half salute and turned around to leave.
Li Yuanxing asked Wu Zhao: "Do you think Wei Heizi is a smart person or a stupid person? He should be a very smart guy. He just wants me to welcome the Khitan Khan to Qin Wangzhuang!"
Wei Zheng didn't go far, and Li Yuanxing didn't notice who he was talking to and turned back.
"Your Highness, Feng Ang is less than thirty miles away from Chang'an. He came in person and brought nine sons with him. Among them, except for the eldest son who stayed behind, three of his legitimate sons brought the other two with him. The entire team was five miles long and used
Official customs clearance document from the county official."
Li Yuanxing was a little confused after hearing this: "Khitan King came, and I got the news eighteen days beforehand. Feng An came, why did I only know now? I need a reason!"
"Your Highness, there are three reasons. The first reason is that local officials have formal documents, so traveling all the way will not be blocked. Feng Ang has the title of Duke granted by the Supreme Emperor, so local officials will not report it. The second reason is that the road is blocked due to heavy snow.
Feng An came via Shangzhou, and even if he sent a message from Shangzhou, the courier would only be a few hours faster than Feng An. And it is not an urgent matter. It is possible that the courier has already been delivered, and there is no chance to report to His Highness today."
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Yuanxing nodded: "The third reason, I know. The Security Department of the Tang Empire is already short of manpower, and I have given an order to focus on the north first and ignore the south. What's more, Feng An received
The king’s letter is here, and that letter alone is enough to pass the customs, and I didn’t report it to the emperor brother, right?”
"Yes!" Wei Zheng replied seriously.
"Let's make arrangements for you to greet the Khitans in person. I will go ten miles out of the city to greet Feng Ang!"
"Yes!" Wei Zheng bowed and went down to make arrangements.
Li Yuanxing walked quickly to Li Er: "Brother, I will not attend the family banquet in the palace. I will come again for the New Year's Eve banquet in the evening. I have to pick up someone!"
"Although the reception of the Khitan Khan is related to the strategy of Liaodong, it is important for the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty to welcome him in person!" Li Er only knew that the last guest from the Tang Dynasty who came from afar was the King of Khitan. (To be continued.
