Chapter 278 Canonization Ceremony

Chapter 278 Canonization Ceremony

Li Junxian has high blood pressure!

The symptoms are exactly the same as those that His Majesty Li Er had before!

It can be seen that Li Junxian was really so angry that he was about to collapse, and even thin red bloodshot eyes began to appear in his eyes.

There is no perfect way to go to this damn place. It is clear that God wants to kill me!

Li Junxian looked at the governor and said through gritted teeth: "If I can survive when I go out, I will beat you to death, you idiot!"

"must!"

After saying that, Li Junxian closed his eyes in despair.

Now, his mind has become a mess and his mental energy has long been exhausted. Let the next thing happen naturally.

At worst, Li Junxian will be a good man again in eighteen years!

Anyhow, death is death, and he no longer has any hope.

Li Junxian's spiritual transformation is happening quietly, but no one is aware of it.

Su Chen was whispering to Princess Changle, and Fu Yin was also busy recording confessions for the people.

Except for Li Junxian, everyone was in a very good mood.

No one noticed that there seemed to be a sticky tension in the air.

The rain is coming and the wind is blowing!

At the same time, Tai Chi Palace.

After receiving the order, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion rushed to the entrance of the palace and waited silently.

The yamen servant held the token of Jingzhao Prefecture in his hand and was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Thinking that he might have to face the Holy Spirit later, he felt extremely uneasy and kept simulating the process several times in his mind.

First, he notified the Forbidden Army to send a message and informed several officials of Zhongshu Province about the matter.

Immediately afterwards, I am waiting for the summons. After talking to Chang Bin of the Zhongshu Province, I am afraid that I will have to meet the saint immediately.

Thinking back again to the etiquette when meeting the saint, I listened to the bursts of cheers coming from the Tai Chi Palace.

Unknowingly, the clothes on the back of this government servant were soaked with sweat. He looked quite embarrassed and was out of tune with the cheerful people around him.

In the Tai Chi Palace, it was already approaching noon in the blink of an eye, and the canonization ceremony was almost coming to an end.

The books and seals of the Western Regions and Grassland Countries have been distributed.

In the square, thousands of foreigners knelt down in a large area, shouting: "Khan of Heaven!"

The people who were watching, and even the ministers in the court, saw this scene, and their eyes were red with excitement.

This time, the shouts of "Khan of Heaven" were several times louder than the last time when the barbarians came to court, and the number of the king's envoys kneeling down was a hundred times more!

At this point, there was almost no independent country around Datang!

Looking at the scene in front of them, all the people of Tang Dynasty were extremely proud!

According to the predetermined process, the next step in the Tang Dynasty was the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

With His Majesty Li Er and the Queen taking the lead, they sacrificed cattle and sheep as tribute to honor their ancestors and inform God.

After the ceremony, it was the end of the entire canonization ceremony.

Regarding the treatment of these foreign tribes, the previous strategy was still followed, and there was no objection from the upper and lower courts.

In addition to the reduction of military power, some improvements were also made. These small countries will be divided into new states and counties in the Tang Dynasty based on their location and area. After that, they will be successively sent to the capital of the Tang Dynasty to manage them.

So far, the Tang Dynasty had captured almost the entire Western Region without even using a single soldier.

As for the scattered remaining ones who have not come to surrender, they can simply conquer them by force.

Under Su Chen's influence, the results of this canonization ceremony were completely different from those in history.

In the original history, the Tang Dynasty would spend a huge amount of money every year when foreign countries came to the dynasty. The generous Li Er would usually give these small countries dozens or hundreds of times the amount of gifts in return to show the majesty of the Celestial Kingdom.

But under Su Chen's influence, Li Er no longer had these suffocating operations in this life.

Not only did he not receive gifts of gold, silver, or jewelry in return, but he also did not teach him the farming techniques that he liked to give so much.

Therefore, this canonization ceremony not only did not lose money, but also made a huge profit!

In fact, Li Er didn't even notice it himself.

Under the influence of Su Chen, his mentality had changed a lot without realizing it.

In the past, he was very face-saving. If any foreign country came to pay tribute, he would feel very honored.

But now, he has completely changed his mind.

Today's Tang Dynasty no longer needs any foreign countries to pay tribute, it only needs absolute surrender.

All these foreign countries are just targets to be conquered.

Vassal states did not exist, but there could be states and counties that became the Tang Dynasty.

After the ancestor worship ceremony is completed, there is only one last step left!

Under the instruction of His Majesty Li Er, three thousand imperial soldiers slowly unfolded a huge map in the square.

This map is exactly the territory of the Tang Dynasty expanded more than three times!

After seeing this map, the people burst into tears.

On the edge of the Tang Dynasty, all the countries they were familiar with and deeply hated have disappeared.

Eastern Turks, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Xueyantuo, etc. have continued to the vast grasslands of the Western Regions. None of these names exist anymore!

Instead, there are new states and counties, the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty!

At the bottom of the map, there are a few lines written by His Majesty Li Er himself.

"In the autumn of the fifth year of Zhenguan, the territory of the Tang Dynasty expanded more than three times compared to the time when the country was founded."

"With a radius of thousands of miles, everything has been incorporated into the territory of my country, the Tang Dynasty."

"Anyone who dares to insult our Tang Dynasty will be slaughtered!"

"But, this is just the beginning, my cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will never stop!"

"One day, all the people in the world will be the king's land, and all the king's ministers will be in the four seas!"

"May the prosperous age of our Tang Dynasty last forever!"

After the people finished reading this extremely domineering declaration, they couldn't help but shout loudly.

At this time, something called pride was deeply engraved in their hearts.

The foreign envoys who were kneeling on the ground did not react much to this, but the food and Byzantine envoys from distant countries were surprised and confused.

Is this just the beginning?

What does this mean?

You know, there seems to be no other country between their country and the Tang Dynasty?

Could it be...

Thinking of this, the envoys were immediately horrified.

The last few words on the huge map really shocked these envoys.

After they read it, they stood stunned on the spot.

This was presented so directly in front of their eyes without even a hint of cover. What was the intention?

It's all right, why don't we declare war with these countries?

Now, this group of people was completely panicked.

Originally, they had the mentality of joining in the fun and playing the role of bystanders.

This time I came to Datang simply to strengthen the superficial relationship between the two countries.
