[Today is the fifth wedding anniversary, special update]
Chang'an!
His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty once said that this is the best city in the world.
In the seventh century AD, the population of the entire Central Plains was only more than 10 million people. However, at this time, Chang'an City had a registered population of more than 600,000 in the main city alone. In addition, Chang'an County where Qin Wangzhuang is located, and
In Yaozhou, where King Qin's workshop was located, in April of the first year of Zhenguan, the total registered population of Chang'an City reached one million.
If slaves and untouchables are included, the total population is close to 1.5 million.
On a sunny afternoon, Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty was wearing casual clothes and sitting on the tower of Zhuque Gate in Chang'an City. Queen Changsun sat on the left, and Concubine Yang sat on the right. Concubine Yang was making tea, and she was making tea on the 10th day of the first year of Zhenguan.
The third most famous tea is West Lake Longjing.
Li Er smelled the fragrance of tea and looked at the prosperity of Chang'an City with a telescope.
"Wulang said that he wanted to build a truly No. 1 city in the world. In fact, I am very happy about Chang'an City now. The people live and work in peace and contentment, the market is prosperous, and it is a happy place!"
Eunuch Gao came closer and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has an urgent matter to see you!"
"Put the tables and chairs and give me tea!"
In the afternoon, it was time to rest even in various government offices. Wang Jishan was already quite old, so Li Er was relieved that he could still be busy with official duties at this time.
Although the Seventh Family resisted the imperial power, above all official duties, the Seventh Family always adhered to their duties.
Wang Jishan was helped up to the tower by several eunuchs. His legs and feet were no longer as good as those of young people due to his age. He was already out of breath when he got to the tower. Li Er stood up. This was a great courtesy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Jishan took a sip of tea and praised again: "The Xihang Tea Business Association has three of the top ten famous teas this time, but he is still dissatisfied because the top spot is taken by the Bashu Mengshan Fairy.
, the second place was taken by Dongling Dahongpao, and West Lake Longjing only ranked third. It seems that they will make a comeback next year and strive to be the number one tea in this tea!"
Li Er smiled: "I am also a tea lover, so I would like to say that I would like this tea to be of the highest order!"
Wang Jishan was still a little out of breath. After drinking another cup, he said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, several celebrities have written the Book of Tea. Tea is divided into six categories: green, green, red, yellow, white and black. Only Longjing green tea is mentioned. The veteran believes that at least there are
The five green varieties can compete with each other. The difference should be the rain of the year and the craftsmanship of the tea maker!"
"Great kindness!"
Li Er strongly agrees with Wang Jishan's statement. When tea reaches its peak, what is compared is not only the reputation of tea, but also the meaning, shape, taste and color.
Wang Jishan put down his teacup, stood up and bowed to Li Erchang: "I congratulate you, Your Majesty, on the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the peace of all the people, and the virtue of the world!"
Li Er was stunned. Can this tea reach such a high level?
"Your Majesty, the flood in Luoyang is also a man-made disaster. The nineteen-mile river embankment is useless, and it is flooded for more than ten miles. There are nearly 100,000 victims and millions of acres of fertile land. This is a serious disaster."
Li Er nodded vigorously: "I have ordered the household department to raise funds to prepare for disaster relief!"
"The Holy One only knows about great disasters, but not about great blessings!"
"Tell me!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin's execution of traitors and sycophants was so moving that it reached heaven. When he killed Shaoyin of Luoyang Prefecture, the rain stopped and the sky cleared!"
The rain has stopped and the sky has cleared!
Li Er shouted and stood up: "What Aiqing just said, let's talk again." Li Er suspected that he heard wrong. Is this a miracle?
"Please sit down, Your Majesty. The old minister just said that during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, all the people would be safe and the world would be virtuous!"
"Sit down and talk!" Li Er stretched out his hand to help him. Wang Jishan thanked him, but did not sit down. He continued: "Your Majesty, there is a rumor among the people of Luoyang that where the heavenly soldiers of the Qin Palace are located, the floods have given way. The embankments have been breached for several miles, and the thunder cavalry used human beings to embank the floods.
Blocked within the embankment, the village was besieged by the floods. With the King of Qin's guards present, the floods receded. After crossing the water for dozens of miles, no one among the people died or was lost!"
Li Er didn't believe it. How could anyone believe this?
"Your Majesty, official documents must not be falsified, and those who speak lies will deceive the emperor. I have the documents of thousands of people, and I have hundreds of officials!"
"Wu Lang, what a good Wu Lang!" Li Er excitedly put his hand on the table.
Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang looked at each other and said at the same time: "This is the Holy Sage's benevolent government and God's gift of wealth!"
At this time, Wang Jishan said again: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The veteran was also shocked. I remember a few months ago, when His Highness the King of Qin invited Shuofang's soldiers to return to Chang'an, he was honored and honored. The veteran was the first to object, but at this time, the veteran invited the Holy Spirit
By decree, return with honor!"
"Natural disaster, no one is killed, no one is lost, great achievement!"
"Your Majesty, two guards of the Prince of Qin's Palace died in natural disasters. Eighteen old men carried the coffins, and nearly 100,000 people recited the ancient poem "Calling Souls" from the Warring States Period outside Luoyang City. The coffins of these two soldiers and the Book of Wanmin were only one day away from Chang'an.
"Come on, the chief minister of the Palace of the Qin Dynasty has made a gesture of honor to you, and the right servant shot his eldest grandson to make a gesture of honor to him, and the old ministers have also made a gesture to bid him a favor!"
At this time, Wang Jishancai took out the watch badge from his sleeve, knelt down and raised it high above his head.
What a glorious return!
Li Er still didn't understand why even Wang Jishan came forward to ask for honorable return.
Is it because Shibasu Lao carried the coffin?
"I'm sure. It will be announced to the world tomorrow, and Datang Newspaper will print an additional 100,000 copies."
"The Holy One is requested to write a memorial in his own hand. This is the first time in the Zhenguan Year that an old man carrying a coffin will be carried, and the Holy One must hand write a tribute in his own hand!"
In the afternoon of that day, Rong Gui's imperial edict was announced to seven departments, from Si Yamen.
Liu Zhenghui, who was recuperating at home and waiting to see Li Yuanxing's smile, breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing the report from his former subordinate. He had been very nervous. While he wanted to see Li Yuanxing make a joke, he was also worried about the impact of the disaster.
No matter how big it is, too many casualties are also harmful to heaven's morality.
Now that I heard it was successfully resolved, I was relieved.
"Mr. Liu seems to be relieved!"
"Yao Gong, isn't it like this?"
Liu Zhenghui and Yao Silian sat face to face, and both of them smiled.
Yao Silian said: "The King of Qin just disagrees with our political views. He also has a sense of proportion in doing things and does not deal with people. He is a true and kind person. I can't understand many of his ways, but I can like him very much. What's more, I can't understand many of his ways.
, the people's livelihood in the world, using the suffering of the common people to implement strategies to attack political opponents is a shame to heaven and earth!"
Liu Zhenghui also nodded: "King Qin's war against Goguryeo this time can be regarded as undeclared. He won, but he has lost the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and he will be impeached!"
"Will you return home tomorrow afternoon?" Liu Zhenghui asked with a smile.
"Of course I have to go. It can be praised by hundreds of thousands of people. The coffin bearers of Shibasu are true heroes!"
What is a true hero?
The next day, an additional 100,000 copies of the Tang Dynasty newspaper were printed and sent out by horse to all states and counties within a thousand miles. Maybe the states and counties saw it a few days later. In Chang'an City, every literate person had a copy.
Those who didn't know how to read also gathered in teahouses and teahouses to listen to newspaper readings.
The great disaster in Luoyang caused the embankment to burst for 20 miles, flooding millions of acres of farmland, and destroying thousands of villages. No one was killed or lost.
A miracle?
A tribute written by Li Er himself. The Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty, and the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty is naturally different from that of previous dynasties. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty dared to fight against foreign enemies, quelled the rebellion, conquered the Turks, and fought in Liaodong. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty shed their blood
.In the face of natural and man-made disasters, there were soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who built the Great Wall of flesh and blood. Foreign enemies could be stopped, and natural disasters could also be stopped.
Yu Shinan, a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the hymn himself, as did several other famous figures.
In Chang'an City, envoys from foreign countries came to express their praise one after another. Especially the envoys from the Western Turks, he was really afraid. He originally thought that the Tang Dynasty was newly established and its national power was unstable. But under the natural disaster, not a single person died. If this is not a miracle,
That is a myth. In other words, if manpower is available, how much sophisticated organizational capabilities and effective military management systems are needed.
Such an army can fight natural disasters and defeat foreign enemies. It seems reasonable that the Eastern Turks were defeated.
Returning with honor is not a simple honor, but a great courtesy. There are people greeting you from twenty miles away from Chang'an.
Ten miles away, there were officials to greet him and the etiquette of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.
Five miles away, people watching the ceremony can line up on both sides, but no other people are allowed to approach on the straight road.
Three miles away, officials from the Ministry of Rites came out to greet him, performed music and ceremonials, and were dressed in red.
The two coffins were painted bright red, with the coffin lids half-covered, and Taoist priests and monks began to offer sacrifices to the deceased.
One mile away from Chang'an City, Wang Jishan, the Minister of Rites, led a team to welcome him personally and read a tribute.
In front of the Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City, Li Er was present in person. The coffin did not fall to the ground, but was carried by eighteen strong men. Eighteen ribbons were written with the names of the eighteen old men who first carried the coffin. Let the old man really lift the coffin.
Carrying him back to Chang'an from Luoyang, he was afraid that none of the eighteen elderly people would be alive anymore, and he was exhausted.
Li Er put his hand on the length of the coffin and took a deep breath: "Hero, come back!...
The very quaint evocation words can make Shibasu old coffin-carrying hero, Li Er deserves to read this sacrificial document in person. What's more, the seal of Li Yuanxing's military reform is still in Li Er's study, and Li Er dare not approve it, because
Li Yuanxing gave the sergeants too high a status, and he was afraid of being opposed by the courtiers.
At the moment, even with this important event of returning home, Li Er still dare not take out the seal. He can only do more to pave the way for Li Yuanxing's military reform in the future.
The families of the two sergeants were also among the welcoming team.
It's natural to be sad. After joining the army, in the hearts of their families, they have lost most of their lives, and there is a possibility that they will never come back when they go to the battlefield. But for a person to receive such a great honor after his death, it brings a lot of trouble to the entire family.
A huge honor.
Several elderly people straightened their backs and felt the glory in their hearts.
Those who came back with him were Cui Dunli and another person, Ciku. After Li Yuanxing cleaned up the Shaolin Temple as he wished, Ciku became even more aware of how Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty should develop.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Qin has come forward to request that these two people be sent to the Soul-Suppressing Pavilion!"
Zhenhun Pavilion! The name that appeared a few months ago, and the stone tablet engraved with the word "Zhenhun" was written by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It is located in the Daci'en Temple. Only soldiers can enter the Zhenhun Pavilion. Putting it in the Zhenhun Pavilion represents eternity.
