Chapter 106: I Have Decided to Make
Poetry runs through the entire wedding of the Tang people.
I hadn't said hello to this thing beforehand.
Everyone looked at Su Dawei, and Zhou Liang even blinked on the side and smiled: "Amiping has amazing poems every day, and today I can't miss it, otherwise this bride will not be able to be sent to the cave room." β
Again, this led to a laugh.
Su Dawei patted his forehead, countless poems flashed in his heart, and he opened his mouth and said: "Don't fan the painting out of the curtain to cover the sluggish talent of Chunshan." If the Tao is like a bright moon, osmanthus must bloom in it! β
"Good!"
"Good poetry!"
The guests in the audience were thunderous with joy for a while.
Su Dawei secretly wiped his sweat, and copied Li Shangyin's poem in his heart, can it be bad?
"Next, please invite the newcomers to bow three times and bow nine times."
This shout made Su Dawei feel refreshed.
Finally got to the part he was familiar with.
After three bows and nine knocks, there is also the gift of knotting the hair, the ceremony of joining the family, and after completing these, it will be sent to the cave room and officially consummated.
Su Dawei's heart stirred for a while.
I heard Zhou Liang shouting loudly: "Worship the sun, moon and stars of heaven and earth, please turn around, dress up, bow your hands, worshipββ"
"The wind and rain are smooth, and I bow.
Harvest abundantly, bow again.
The family business is prosperous, three bows.
Worship the high hall again, the ancestors.
The elders of both sides are invited to take their seats on the stage.
Dressed upβ"
Just when Su Dawei and Nie Su were dressed and ready to worship Li Chunfeng and Liu Niangzi, who were sitting in front of the stage, suddenly, a loud cheer came from their backyard.
"Your Majesty's urgent edict, urgent edict~"
The joyful atmosphere and the noisy scene seemed to be pressed down all at once.
Su Dawei turned around in surprise, but saw a palace eunuch, under the escort of Qianniuwei, lined up the crowd and hurriedly walked into the wedding scene.
The people around them dodged in surprise.
The eunuch pulled his neck and shouted: "Pass on Your Majesty's oracle, and immediately summon Su Dawei and Su Qingjie into the palace." β
"Could it be a mistake?"
Someone in the crowd shouted, "The wedding is only halfway through." β
The voice was childish.
Everyone followed the sound to look, but it was Princess Andingsi who stood on tiptoe there, staring wide-eyed and shouting: "Anding still depends on Uncle Licheng." β
The eunuch smiled bitterly at An Dingsi and Li Xian: "Your Majesty's golden mouth, you can't be lazy." β
"This ......"
The crowd was in an uproar.
With Li Zhi and Empress Wu's goodwill towards Su Dawei, it is impossible to deliberately interrupt Su Dawei's wedding.
Besides, he also deliberately let An Dingsi and Li Xian watch the ceremony, which itself has the meaning of congratulating the newcomers on behalf of the Son of Heaven and Wu Hou.
Could it be ......
What's wrong?
The crowd was chattering for a while.
Su Dawei, who was standing on the stage, felt a small hand stretch out from under the sleeve of Nie Su's auspicious clothes, and pinched his hand: "Brother......"
The eunuch who gave the order had already walked to the high platform and bowed his hand to Su Dawei: "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me at Su Weishuo." β
Li Chunfeng had already stood up, walked to Su Dawei's side and said, "There must be something big in the palace." β
Su Dawei's heart turned a thousand times, and he held Nie Su's soft and suddenly cold little hand with his backhand, and whispered in her ear: "I...... Enter the palace first, you wait for me to come back. β
"Well, I'll wait for you."
After appeasing Nie Su, Su Dawei said to Liu Niangzi again: "A-Niang, help me take care of Xiao Su." β
After speaking, he bowed his hand to the guests on the stage and said: "Today's hospitality is not good, Your Majesty has summoned, I will enter the palace first, and I also invite all guests and friends to stay for a wedding drink." β
β¦β¦
On the dragon's head, Daming Palace.
Zichen Palace.
Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a big chair, with a breath of air on his body.
It was an afterglow.
His round face was still tinged with purple.
Wu Meiniang was also dressed up, wearing a queen's dress embroidered with phoenixes and stars, and sat beside Li Zhi's hand.
When Su Dawei and Su Qingjie walked into the Zichen Hall side by side, they happened to see Empress Wu whispering something in Li Zhi's ear.
With the eyesight of the two of them, it is easy to see the subtle expressions of Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang.
Sure enough, something big happened.
Looking around, Su Dazhi found that Li Tao, Xiao Siye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Li Siwen, the waiter, and Xu Jingzong, who had not appeared for a long time due to illness, was implicated by Shangguanyi before, and Hao Chujun, who was recently forgiven by Li Zhi, were all on the list.
"Chen Su Dawei."
"Chensu Festival, see Your Majesty."
Su Dawei and Su Qingjie stood in the hall and saluted Li Zhi and Empress Wu.
Li Zhi raised his hand slightly.
Wu Meiniang said: "You stand aside and listen." β
"Yes."
Su Dawei and Su Qingjie secretly exchanged a look, and the two walked to the military attache together, standing under Xiao Siye and Li Siwen.
Although it is not clear exactly what happened.
But looking at the fact that most of the people in this hall are military attachΓ©s, it can be inferred that this matter must be related to the military.
I heard Wu Meiniang's voice resounding in the hall.
"Today's Great Dynasty Conference, His Majesty Mount Tai sealed the Zen, many foreign envoys are here, and such a thing happened, where is this to put Your Majesty's face?"
When Wu Meiniang said this, she spoke sharply, revealing rare anger.
For a time, the Zichen Hall was full of awe-inspiring meaning.
The majesty revealed from Wu Meiniang overwhelmed people.
Su Dawei became more and more surprised in his heart, not knowing what was going on.
Fortunately, Wu Meiniang mentioned the matter roughly, so that Su Dawei and Su Dingfang, the two later, knew the general ins and outs.
Since the conquest of Goguryeo, Li Zhi considered his physical condition, and did not know when he might follow in the footsteps of Taizong.
With the help of this expansion of territory, he wanted to engage in Mount Tai Feng Zen and comfort the gods of heaven and earth.
A hundred years later, there is also an explanation for Taizong.
Today's meeting is to discuss the specific itinerary.
It was roughly decided to set off this month, first to the Eastern Capital, and then all the way to the fortunate, and next year, to Mount Tai and complete the Zen sealing ceremony.
At that time, not only will they bring the important ministers of the court, but also the officials of the Ministry of Rites, learn Confucianism, honor guards, chariots and horses, and sacrifices.
He will also lead the chieftains of Fanbang, as well as the naturalized kings, and support Yufeng, the king of Goguryeo, the Silla Kim Famin, the Japanese king Gaoshi, as well as the Turkic naturalized khan, and the representatives of the Western Regions.
Let the world witness his great deeds.
But such a glorious court meeting was broken by a sudden military situation.
"Tugu is gone, the Qing family said, what should I do?"
Wu Meiniang replaced Li Zhi and looked at the ministers in the palace.
Xu Jingzong glanced at Hao Chujun.
The two ministers, one former prime minister and one current prime minister, were not in a hurry to speak.
Li Tao touched his long beard, his eyes flashing, as if he was contemplative.
Li Siwen is not as sleek as Li Tao, but he is used to having a cold face and being silent for a while.
However, Xiao Siye, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, couldn't hold his breath, and took a step and said: "Your Majesty, after the martial arts, the old minister has already read the report, and the ambitions of the Tubo people have been clearly revealed. β
"Not really."
Hao Chujun, who had not spoken out all the time, stood up and said: "Tubo is located in the west, the terrain is difficult to control, our army is on an expedition, if you go, the thief is bound to escape, and you can't catch up, if our army retreats, then Tubo will revert to its old state, and it is difficult to break the thief."
If heavy troops are left to station, the division will be tired for a long time.
In battle, the troops will be frustrated, which is not a good strategy.
According to the minister's opinion, it is still to support the king of Tuyuhun and restore the country to Tuyuhun, so as to contain Tubo. β
After Li Zhi ascended the throne, a total of two major battles were fought.
The first was the battle against the Western Turks outside the Green Ridge.
In the first battle, he destroyed the Western Turks and captured the Shabala Khan.
In World War II, it was on the battlefield in Liaodong.
He successively conquered Baekje, Goguryeo, and Wa Kingdom.
It took years.
As a result, a lot of the Empire's energy was involved in these battlefields.
This is a God-given strategic opportunity for Tibet, which is rising on the plateau.
The rise of a great empire is bound to expand outward.
And it is an expansion into the land of abundance.
In this way, Tuyuhun became a place that Tubo was bound to attack.
It is also the forward base and springboard that devours Datang.
Over the years, Tubo first sent 120,000 troops to attack the Bailan clan, and then continued to attack Tuyuhun.
In the end, Tuyuhun couldn't stand it anymore, and the king Murong Nuo Hao bowl and Princess Honghua led the remnants to Liangzhou, and asked Li Zhi to attach it.
Is this worth it?
At that time, the war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo was at a critical time, and there was no air to manage the affairs of Tibet.
So he took Zheng Rentai, the governor of Liangzhou, as the general manager of the Qinghai Road march, and led the general Dugu Qingyun and others to Tunliang and Shanzhou.
Later, he took Su Dingfang, the general of Kaiwu Hou, as the ambassador of Anji, to control the generals and stabilize the situation.
This is equivalent to Datang being on double insurance in the direction of Tuyuhun.
One is Zheng Rentai, and the other is Su Dingfang.
With these two generals in charge, plus the card of the Murong Nuo Hao Bowl in his hand, he can help Tuyuhun restore the country at any time.
Wait for Datang to free his hands from the east.
You can concentrate on beating Tubo all over the ground to find teeth.
The idea is beautiful, the reality is skinny.
Probably because God favored Tubo at this time, the arrangement of Datang, and the double insurance, there were problems one after another.
First, Jung In-tae died suddenly in office.
As a result, the chief manager of Qinghai Road was empty.
Next, Su Dingfang, who was in charge of the overall situation, finally couldn't stand the rush of the east and west for several years, plus he was old and fell ill on the front line.
Su Dingfang's disease lasted for half a year, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Before Su Qingjie, he planned to go to Tuyuhun and take care of Su Dingfang.
Hao Chujun's words had just fallen, and Li Siwen stood up and said to Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang: "Your Majesty, Empress Wu, in the opinion of the ministers, Tuyuhun will be destroyed this time, if you wait for Tubo for a few years, I am afraid that Tuyuhun will completely become the land of Tubo, and at that time, it will be more difficult for us to clean up the situation. β
Su Dawei and Su Qingjie only heard the taste at this time.
King Tuyuhun, it's over?
Is this lost in the army?
I heard that Su Dingfang had conquered a piece of land in the direction of the border between Tuyuhun and the Tang Army, and sent the king of Tuyuhun back to restore the country.
The main role is to use the signboard of the King of Tuyuhun to recruit the old department, so that Tuyuhun can rise up against the rule of the Tubo people, and delay the digestion and absorption of Tuyuhun by Tubo.
But now, Tubo seized the news that Su Dingfang was seriously ill and attacked on a large scale, erasing the king of Tuyuhun from the world in one fell swoop.
From then on, there was no more Tuguhun in the world.
"Not only King Tuyuhun, but even Princess Honghua are not in the army."
Xu Jingzong's voice was hoarse, obviously his illness had not healed, and he was short of qi when he spoke.
"The old minister thought that there would be a war, and it was better to fight late than early, and now, he has to fight."
Hao Chujun glanced at Xu Jingzong deeply on the side, and arched his hand: "Dare to ask the right servant why this is this?" Could it be that the right servant doesn't know that the treasury is tight? We need next year's grain income to have our surplus energy. β
"The Dongtai squire is thinking about the money account, but the old man is calculating another account."
