"So, before the New Year, the palace was also preparing. After all, this year is different from the past, not just those who came to the Tang Dynasty to visit."

After all, it was the completion and use of the new palace that made His Majesty Li Er excited, and even said he was proud.

His Majesty Li Er has always been like this, like a phoenix with a proud head held high and his chest held high. At least not only Xuan Shijing feels like this, but even His Majesty Li Er feels like this, otherwise he would not have written "The Virtue and Phoenix". The whole article is slowly arrogant and praising himself.

Now the article "Weifeng Fu" written by His Majesty Li Er is still well preserved in the house. In the future, Xuan Shijing will plan to treat it as a family heirloom.

Nowadays, there are many treasures in the Xuan family mansion, but not many meaningful treasures. Even if His Majesty Li Er’s handwritten book is one, it is enough to be included in the list of heirlooms.

"Your Majesty is the grand ceremony held on the New Year's Day? It is so impressive to all neighboring countries?" Xuan Shijing asked.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "I have this intention, let's take a look at this new palace." His Majesty Li Er stopped.

Before they knew it, the group had already arrived at Xiangluan Pavilion on the side of Hanyuan Hall. Standing here, looking around, you can see the Nanshan Mountain.

"If this is the case, I still have an idea, which may add some style to the New Year's Day meeting." Xuan Shijing said: "It will take some time to implement it. Now there are still five days left before the New Year's Day. If you start preparing from today, time will be a little tight, but it will be too late."

"Oh? What's the idea? Tell me." His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Military Parade." Xuan Shijing said.

"Military Parade?" His Majesty Li Er was stunned: "Tell me carefully."

The word "Military Parade" is easy to understand, it means literal meaning, the meaning of "Military Parade".

"The military parade dates back to the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. "Huainanzi Yuandaoxun" says that in the past, Gun, the leader of the Xia tribe, built a very high city wall to defend himself. Everyone wanted to leave him, and other tribes were eyeing Xia. Later, Yu became the leader, demolished the city wall, filled the moat, distributed the property to everyone, destroyed the weapons, and taught the people with morality. So everyone did their own duties, and other tribes were willing to join him. Yu invited the princes to join the alliance in Tushan.

It is said that at the conference, Yu's men held weapons decorated with feathers and sang and danced with music, indicating a grand welcome to the leaders of the tribes in the south. The leaders of the clans and tribes who came to the alliance all brought valuable items such as jade and silk to express their surrender to Yu.

During the Tushan Alliance, although Yu did not send a soldier, his display of force was enough to intimidate the princes and thus "turn swords into jade and silk."

"Great kindness." Yan Lide clapped and applauded: "Okay, without any soldiers, I will fully display the power of the Tang Dynasty and intimidate foreign countries. In addition, the new palace of the Tang Dynasty was completed, and the two were combined with the momentum and were natural. I was a little excited when I thought about this scene."

"This is a good idea, but, is it too late?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Time is tight, Your Majesty needs to make a decision early. Moreover, the soldiers do not need external transfers, they are all ready-made. The only thing that needs to be mobilized is the Xuanjia Army stationed outside Chang'an. After all, it is still a little distance from Chang'an. In addition, since it is to show the power of the Tang Dynasty and be powerful, not to mention the real kung fu, at least, the surface kung fu must be good-looking, and there is no need for any music, singing and dancing. As long as the army is uniform, riding a horse with weapons, walking in front of the Danfeng Gate in an orderly manner, and wearing a snare drum, you can."

The purpose of this military parade was to welcome the people who came to visit the foreign countries, but the purpose was to shock them.

The new palace of the Tang Dynasty was renovated for two years, and 150,000 corvee labor was collected from Longshouyuan. Although it was not short of money, after such trouble, most of the money in the treasury was gone, and it was even about to bottom out. At least next year, you can't use any more weapons, otherwise the treasury would be a little weak.

Even if we want to parade, it is enough to show the weapons currently in the army of the Tang Dynasty. Although there is gunpowder, war is still in the era of cold weapons. Weapons want to be updated and replaced. With the foundation of the Institute of Technology, the speed will be as fast as possible. Now the Institute of Technology is also starting to study firearms. Although it is dangerous, there is no way, so we can only explore bit by bit. Fortunately, under strict prevention, no problems have yet.

However, in the long run, this branch of the Institute of Technology will sooner or later be separated from the Institute of Technology and become an independent department, and then the imperial court will send officials to take care of it.

Now the officials in the court are more in place than actual functions. His Majesty Li Er just realized the power of gunpowder, but did not realize the power of firearms.

Of course, Xuan Shijing has never told His Majesty Li Er.

As for the military parade proposed by Xuan Shijing, His Majesty Li Er was very moved, but he was also worried about time issues. Not to end up doing anything, it would be better not to have it.

But in the end, I couldn't resist the temptation in my heart.

"Jing'er, this matter is left to you and Ke'er, and it's done better." His Majesty Li Er said: "I will send an order to Li Ke. As for the specific details, I will not ask, but I hope you can let me see a good result. I will give you a token. In addition to the Xuanjia Army, the troops in Chang'an City will be assigned by you. As for the number of people, what do you think?"

"Each division is five hundred." Xuan Shijing said.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Okay, just five hundred."

If each division draws 500 people, it will have no effect on Chang'an's defense at all. Moreover, even if each division gathers 500 people, it will not have any threat to Chang'an City. Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of the threat this token in Xuan Shijing's hand.

"I received the order." Xuan Shijing bowed.

By the end of the year, the Xuan family had already finished their work. Now that I have taken on this job, it is not too bad. After a while, I will ask someone to go to the village to upload a message, so that the students from the Military Academy will quickly gather to Chang'an.

This is a good opportunity that is hard to come by. Such a scene must also be seen.

This matter must be approved by Li Xiaogong.

In this way, there are a lot of things to do before forming the military parade team, so there are also a lot of people needed.

"Your Majesty, this matter is tight, so I may need a lot of people to come and help." Xuan Shijing said.

"Who?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Uh... Lord Su Dingfang Su has a student who has been in the army and has followed Lord Su to Baekje. His name is Pei Xingjian. This time, I want Pei Xingjian to be my deputy." Xuan Shijing said.

Su Dingfang sent Pei Xingjian to the academy in Zhuangzi, which meant that Xuan Shijing would promote him as a student.
