"Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites is looking for a meeting outside the hall."

The eunuch, the close servant, said respectfully.

Li Si sat on the dragon throne and nodded slightly.

"Prince!"

The Minister of Rites entered the hall: "I have met Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the Goryeo Kingdom sent another delegation to our Tang Dynasty to present jewelry and property, and expressed its loyalty to our Tang Dynasty."

When the Minister of Rites said this, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

Logically speaking, Goryeo has sent a mission, so there is no need to come once.

And, the value of the jewelry and property presented

“Goryeo?”

Li Si looked at the Minister of Rites: "How many have they contributed this time?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is more than five times the contributions made in previous years."

The Minister of Rites paused for a moment and continued: "In addition to jewelry, King Goryeo also sent his little daughter over with the intention of marrying me, the Tang Dynasty, and forging a country of friendship forever."

Li Si fell into deep thoughts as he heard this.

It seems that King Goryeo was really scared.

Even his little daughter was sent out.

However, Li Si thought about it again and said that it was normal.

The King of Goryeo had no choice.

In a small place like Goryeo, it is already the limit to appearing a god and demon realm, and it is impossible for a second to be born in a short period of time.

And the powerful person who lost the God and Demon Realm suppressed it.

What qualifications does Goryeo have to resist the Tang Dynasty?

In this case, surrender is the only option.

"I understand."

Li Si waved his hand.

When the Minister of Rites saw the emperor, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, what should I do about the daughter of King Goryeo?"

Li Si frowned: "What do you think should be done?"

"King Goryeo means that he hopes his daughter will serve His Majesty."

The Minister of Rites bowed and said, "According to the precedent, Your Majesty should include Princess Goryeo in the harem."

"I'll discuss this later!"

Li Si thought for a moment, but did not agree immediately.

For emperors of all generations, the matter of taking concubines was very simple, but Li Si was not in a hurry for the time being.

"Abide by the order!"

"Na Chen placed Princess Goryeo in the Goryeo Pavilion."

The Minister of Rites said.

The Goryeo Kingdom was a palace grid specially built by the Tang Dynasty for vassal states. The maids and guards inside were all from Goryeo. Emperors of the Tang Dynasty all had marriages with foreign princesses. The Goryeo Pavilion was a place specially lived by Goryeo princesses.

"Then I will take my leave first!"

The Minister of Rites stood up and left.

Li Si began to deal with the memorial again.

Sudden.

A crisp sound came into Li Si's ears.

"This is?"

Li Si was slightly stunned.

"Come!"

Li Si just finished speaking.

The eunuch close by came in: "Your Majesty, the servant is here!"

Li Si slowly stood up and said, "I heard the sound just now, do you know what it is?"

"Report to Your Majesty, it should be the fireworks set off by the people of Chang'an!"

The eunuch in the closest servant said respectfully.

Li Si repeated in a low voice: "Fireworks?"

"That's right!" the eunuch who was close to the servant said in a low voice: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. At this time, the people will set off fireworks to pray for the Tang Dynasty."

"If your Majesty wants to see it, you can go to the Star Gazing Tower."

"Stand on the Star Gazing Tower, you can enjoy the entire Chang'an City and all the beautiful scenery can be seen."

"Take me to the Star Gazing Tower!"

"Abide by the order!"

Li Si climbed to the Star Gazing Tower.

Suddenly!

Under the star curtain, fireworks bloom, and it is so beautiful!

Li Si stood above the Star Gazing Pavilion and quietly watched the beautiful scenery.

"fireworks?"

Li Si murmured in a low voice.

"Transfer the order to let the Minister of Works come!"

Li Si suddenly said.

"Abide by the order!"

Although the eunuch in the nearest servant did not know why the emperor wanted to meet with the Minister of Works at this time, he never had to execute the emperor's orders, without asking the reason.

The Minister of Works and his family were enjoying the fireworks in Chang'an City. When they heard the emperor's orders, they immediately put on their court robes and rushed to the Star Gazing Tower.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

The Minister of Works was nervous.

Generally speaking, when the emperor meets his ministers, he either takes the Tai Chi Hall or the Changsheng Hall.

But the Star Gazing Tower

This is the first time the Minister of Works has come

"It's okay, don't be nervous."

Li Si waved his hand and said, "Do you think Chang'an is beautiful now?"

The Minister of Works bowed and said, "On the Chinese New Year holiday, fireworks are everywhere, so it is naturally beautiful!"

Li Si refused to comment: "What do you think of fireworks?"

The Minister of Works looked at the emperor carefully: "Your Majesty, fireworks are widely used among ordinary people, mainly for blessings."

"I didn't ask you about the function of fireworks!"

"I'm asking about the fireworks themselves!"

"What do you think of fireworks?"

Li Si interrupted directly.

The Minister of Works broke out in a cold sweat: "Ministry does not know"

Seeing this, Li Si sighed softly: "Then I will just say what I think."

"Please say it, Your Majesty."

Li Si turned his head and looked at the sky with fireworks: "What effect will it be if the fireworks are used in military affairs?"

"military?"

"fireworks?"

The Minister of Works was unbelievable. He never expected that His Majesty would associate these two completely different things together.

"Your Majesty, the essence of fireworks is just a ball of fire, and even a few years old can't hurt them. How can it be used in the military?"
