When the drums on Chengtian Gate beat, Chang'an City ushered in the first ray of dawn from the east, and also ushered in the first day of the 14th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.
In the Daxing Hall of Daxing Palace, Li Yuanjia also stood at the front of the queue.
In fact, the only one who is qualified to be ahead of him is Li Chengqian, the current crown prince, and no one else has this ability. Even the emperor's favorite Prince Li Tai of Wei, the most trusted Duke of Zhao, Sun Wuji, and Duke of Liang, Fang Xuan
Ling and others could only stand behind Li Yuanjia.
Walking all the way to the front, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but feel his heart surge again.
If we talk about the momentum alone, let alone the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games and the World Cup, I am afraid that a sports meeting in college is much grander. After all, no matter how big the Daxing Hall is, can it be bigger than a stadium? The number of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the number of envoys from various countries
No matter how many years there are, how many more students can there be in one university?
Not to mention that in terms of the level of material supply, even the Tang Dynasty could not compare with a university in later generations. There were huge gaps in all aspects.
But in terms of momentum, except for super events such as the Olympic Games, everything else is not at the same level as today's North Korean meeting.
No matter how you say it, this is the center of a country!
Therefore, even in Li Yuanjia's eyes, any costume from a TV series more than a thousand years later can be used to crush the court clothes worn by all the princes, and even the prince's dress on his own body will not be on the stage, but whenever Li Yuanjia
Seeing the faces of these people, my mind flashed at the same time
The names of these people - Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda...
That feeling is completely incomparable.
What's more, this is a personal experience, which is completely different from seeing it on TV in the future!
And when Li Shimin, the famous emperor of the ages, appeared and all the ministers in the Daxing Palace saluted at the same time, and when the sound was heard outside the palace, and those officials and envoys who were not qualified to enter the palace chanted together, this feeling reached its peak in an instant.
…
Amid bursts of unanimous cheers, the Tang Dynasty ushered in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan. In the Daxing Hall of the palace, bigwigs from all walks of life spoke impassionedly to His Majesty the current emperor about the good weather and good fortune of the past year.
Of course, tributes from various states are indispensable to express respect for the heavenly kingdom.
The Tang Dynasty in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan was already powerful in all directions!
In addition, Hou Jun recently led his army to the Western Regions to attack Gaochang with great momentum. This frightened many people with impure thoughts, and the surrounding areas of Datang instantly became much more stable.
For this Yuan-ri court meeting, many vassal states sent envoys temporarily and rushed over to attend.
At dawn, the court meeting officially began.
After a series of tedious procedures, even Li Yuanjia, who was mentally prepared, had to be grateful for his foresight - the smelly and long congratulatory messages from all parties, as well as the speeches of the bosses of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Personnel and other departments, not only let
People's brains are exhausted, and their stomachs are also suffering.
Fortunately, after staying up until noon, dinner was finally served.
Although the emperor giving banquets was quite common in the Tang Dynasty, especially for Li Shimin who liked liveliness, being able to have a bite of food after a tired morning, even if it was a slightly cold meal, was very important to many people.
It is also a happy thing for people!
Then……
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
When Emperor Li Shimin raised the wine glass in his hand and finished his toast excitedly, amidst a burst of cheers, the noon banquet finally began.
Countless maids and chamberlains poured in with plates and put the delicacies they had prepared on the small tables to show off. After the emperor laughed and picked up the chopsticks first, Li Yuanjia glanced in front of his seat.
The prince took a look and found that Li Chengqian had also picked up the chopsticks, so he started to do it without any politeness.
Today's China still has a traditional meal-sharing system.
Although Li Yuanjia made stir-fry dishes appear in advance, and more importantly, the introduction of tables and chairs in advance has provided the ground for the emergence of the shared meal system... In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, only aristocrats, nobles and wealthy families had the shared meal system, and the common people at the bottom
Most of them are also set meals.
But it was not until the Song Dynasty that the meal-sharing system truly became mainstream.
Even in the Song Dynasty, although everyone sat at the same table many times, each of them had a portion of the meal. In essence, it was still a separate meal system...
That's too far.
Just like the ripples produced after a stone is thrown, before Li Shimin.asxs., the following Crown Prince Li Chengqian, King of Han Li Yuanjia, Zhao Guogong, Liang Guogong and others also picked up the chopsticks. Soon after, the people who were still solemn and solemn just now
The atmosphere of the place immediately changed.
Again, the Tang Dynasty was a very open era.
Although he still attaches great importance to etiquette, and in many places has persistence and requirements that people in the future will not understand, but more often he is quite open-minded. For example, in the main hall in the morning, when he heard the auspiciousness of various places played by the Huangmen Minister,
Some ministers even danced excitedly! And it’s not enough to dance by yourself, you have to pull the people around you to dance together!
Anyway, just like last year, Li Yuanjia was dumbfounded once again. Sure enough, movies and TV shows are all lies. We really can’t understand the brain circuits of the ancients...
But now, eating is the most important thing.
After eating a dozen chopsticks and a small plate of roast mutton, the hunger in Li Yuanjia's stomach was slightly extinguished.
"Come here, bring me another plate!"
He didn't know whether it was because he was very hungry or because he hadn't eaten roast mutton for a long time. Li Yuanjia felt that today's portion tasted particularly delicious, so after finishing eating, he immediately waved to the waiter not far behind him and gave instructions.
"...Yes, Your Majesty."
His eyes were obviously stunned for a moment, but the waiter nodded immediately and trotted off to get the mutton for him.
Hearing his voice, Li Chengqian and Li Tai next to them were startled at the same time, and then they were happy at the same time. Especially the little fat man Li Tai, when he cast his eyes over, a narrow smile appeared on his face.
This royal uncle of my own is really...
This is the great meeting of the Yuan Dynasty!
Although the emperor's words just now meant that everyone should not be restrained and be more casual, but how many can really do it? That is, a few veterans who have been following you for a long time, right? Even Li Chengqian and Li Tai, in order to give their father...
...In other words, to leave a stable impression on other ministers, you need to be more careful.
But the emperor's uncle beside him really did as he pleased.
And just when they secretly felt funny, as His Majesty the Emperor stepped down from his throne, the highlight of the day was finally about to begin...
