Night enveloped the entire Chang'an City, and the banquet in Chang'an City was successfully held.
In the Tai Chi Hall, sitting on both sides were the civil officials and military generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Civil servants who can plan thousands of miles away, generals who can lead troops across the battlefield.
Demonstrating the core strength of Datang.
Li Jing was missing among the military generals. After Li Jing went to conquer the Turks in the north and handed over military power, he began to close his doors and see no visitors.
Li Jing's reputation spread throughout the Central Plains, and he showed the strength of the Tang Dynasty in the battle against the Turkic Jieli Khan, making even the surrounding small countries fear him.
The generals present also understood the reason why Li Jing stayed behind closed doors.
The four words "high power and shocking master" are above the head.
Nowadays, the harmony between the king and his ministers is a scene that everyone is happy to see.
It is said that His Majesty met Li Jing in private several times, but no one knew what he and Li Jing talked about.
Before the banquet, His Majesty went to see Li Jing once. The emperor personally came to express his condolences. Even though Li Jing gave up his military power, Li Shimin still valued Li Jing very much.
Lu Dongzan stood in front of Chengtian Gate with a group of envoys.
Looking towards the palace gate from here, in front is the core of the power of the Tang Dynasty, Tai Chi Hall.
How many national policies and strategies start from Tai Chi Hall.
There were the top beings in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Lu Dongzan felt a little excited because he was finally going to meet the rumored Li Shimin and finally see the Tai Chi Palace.
The envoys waiting at Chengtian Gate were all quiet, waiting for His Majesty's summons.
As the envoy of Tubo and the prime minister of Tibet, in addition to the important matters assigned by Songtsen Gampo.
Lu Dongzan also had a feeling of admiration for His Majesty the Tang Dynasty.
The prosperity and power of the Tang Dynasty were something that many other small countries could not envy.
This place is too rich and prosperous. Ludong Zanduo hopes that Tubo can be like this, but now Tubo is still deep in war.
In the Taiji Hall, many ministers and generals were on both sides, and everyone was laughing and chatting.
Li Shimin supported the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan to sit on the top seat.
Now that Li Yuan has left the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin still receives the treatment that Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, deserves.
Li Shimin poured a cup of tea for Li Yuan and said: "Father, this is the tea roasted by Yue'er's husband. I have drunk it and it has many magical effects. Father, you might as well try it."
Li Yuan picked up the wine bottle, drank it in one gulp, nodded and said, "It's a little bitter."
Li Shimin explained: "This product is best consumed after wine and meals. Take a sip and have endless aftertaste."
Li Yuan took another sip and said, "It's indeed much better, but I still think the wine tastes good."
Li Shimin smiled and said nothing, and sat aside with Empress Changsun.
There are also many sons and daughters of Li Yuan present here. These princesses and princes in the fiefdom, who are Li Shimin's brothers and sisters, all returned to Chang'an City today, and they all paid their respects to Li Yuan.
Looking at these children who were adults and had families, Li Yuan smiled and nodded.
This time only Li Yuanchang did not come.
Li Yuan also knew that Li Yuanchang was ignorant, so Li Shimin just sent Li Yuanchang back to his fiefdom.
Knowing the cause and effect of the matter, this boy still dared to beat up my grandson, and Li Yuan did not say anything good for Li Yuanchang.
After a while, it was the turn of Li Chengqian's grandsons to take turns greeting Li Yuan.
Seeing the smile on Li Yuan's face, Li Shimin's mood improved a lot.
The father is very happy when his children and grandchildren are here.
Sometimes, what is the difference between the Tian family and the ordinary people's families? Li Shimin thought in his mind.
An eunuch walked up to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, the envoys from all countries have arrived."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Let them all enter the palace."
The eunuch walked to the front of the palace and shouted: "Summon the envoys from all countries!"
Another eunuch a hundred steps away from the Taiji Hall heard the words and shouted: "Summon the envoys from all countries!"
Envoys from various countries entered Chengtian Gate one after another. Hundreds of envoys from various countries entered a long queue at Chengtian Gate.
In the hall, Li Yuan frowned and looked at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin said: "Father, tonight is just a banquet, no political affairs will be discussed. We will discuss political affairs at the meeting tomorrow."
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Tribute gifts from envoys from various countries were also delivered to the front of the temple.
"The Tibetan envoy presented ten snow lotuses."
"The envoy from Tuyuhun presented three luminous pearls from the Western Regions."
"The Turkic envoy presented thirty gems and jade."
"The envoy from Nanzhao presented twenty pearls!"
…
As the eunuch shouted loudly, Li Shimin smiled and nodded, and after delivering the gifts, the envoys from all countries took their seats.
The bells rang and the grand banquet was officially held.
Chang'an also started to become lively.
Merchants came to Chang'an City to sell things.
Tourists linger in the bustling city of Chang'an.
There are also adults and children walking around Chang'an City.
In a secluded alley in Dongshi Street.
Li Yue ate the most at dinner. She and her two aunts were washing the dishes and talking in a low voice.
I don't know what they said.
The previous assassin matter was finally over. Zhang Yang also placed some self-made animal traps on the roof of his house, just to be afraid that someone would walk around on the roof again.
Walking on someone's roof in the middle of the night and stepping on the tiles is scary and immoral.
Anyone who wants to walk on the roof of my house now will definitely fall into this trap.
If he wasn't worried that his daughter-in-law would fall into a trap, Zhang Yang would also like to make more traps at home.
Put some fireworks on the cart, as well as the fireworks sticks that Li Yue couldn't bear to light up.
The wind at night is not very cold.
The two aunts also went back.
Li Yue washed the dishes and stepped forward and said, "That roast duck is delicious. How about we eat it tomorrow too?"
Zhang Yang chuckled and said: "You will become a little fat man after eating it."
Li Yue raised her chin and said: "Then I become a little fat man, will you not want me?"
Standing there, Zhang Yang looked up at the night sky and said after a while: "I still want it."
Li Yue pursed her lips and said, "You hesitated!"
"I was just wondering if the place to watch the fireworks tonight is reliable."
"You just hesitated!"
Li Yue raised her fist and hit him on the arm.
Feeling her little fist, Zhang Yang said: "You can use more force."
He is still enjoying it so much?!
Li Yue hammered a few more times, but her strength was not strong enough, so she stamped her feet angrily.
After losing her temper, Li Yue went back to her room and changed her clothes again. When she came out, she was holding a hot water bottle in her hand.
The hot water bottle is made of a water bladder, and Li Yue wrapped it in cloth with embroidered patterns on it, making it a bit more cute.
After taking a closer look, Zhang Yang said curiously: "Why do you want to embroider two ducks on it?"
Li Yue took Zhang Yang's hand and said, "This is a mandarin duck."
The action of holding hands has become very natural, and Li Yue is used to this feeling of holding hands.
Li Yue held a small lantern and said: "Let's go."
Zhang Yang pushed a cart of fireworks through alleys.
Along the way, you can still hear the lively voices of every household, or the laughter of someone's children.
What a city of Chang'an that smells like fireworks.
