1220. Yuan Ri Great Pilgrimage

Seeing that Li Pojun didn't know anything about the court, Li Shimin also glanced at him helplessly, "A month ago, the border army reported that Tuyuhun had moved, and then a small part of Tuyuhun attacked Lanzhou, and Li Daliang was transferred to the governor of Liangzhou to go to set up defenses."

Hearing this, Li Pojun had to admire the court's foresight, and at that time, Tuyuhun only showed a little movement, and the Tang Dynasty was alert.

In fact, it is also the norm, after all, every winter, for those nomads on the grassland plateau, it is a ghost gate, they often loot materials at the border for the winter, and every winter is also the season for the border army to focus on prevention.

Not long after, Hou Junji, Li Daozong and others came together, and Li Pojun also took the initiative to retire when he saw this.

After returning to the East Palace, Li Pojun thought about it, spread paper and polished ink, and sent someone to send a letter to Hulong Villa, instructing Zhai Changsun and others to prepare for the battle, the army will set out soon, and Li Pojun will also find an opportunity, and follow, no matter what, he will also go to get a military merit, after all, this is a war to destroy the country, and it is also a merit that can be recorded in history if he can show his face in it.

December has passed in a flash, and six years of Zhenguan have passed.

The new year is coming, Li Pojun has no special emotions for the New Year, there is no solar calendar at this time, there is only one calendar, and it is the New Year after December, and there is no Spring Festival.

However, the New Year of the Tang Dynasty is also extremely grand, and the night of Chinese New Year's Eve and the morning of New Year's Day at this time are spent together, and there is also a custom of keeping the New Year.

Rubbing his somewhat confused brows, Li Pojun also smiled bitterly, did not expect that his father still liked the New Year, last night stunned to pull a large family of dozens of people to drink and feast together to celebrate the New Year, Chinese New Year's Eve night has been happy until this morning, all night, all night long, around Li Pojun The amount of alcohol is OK, but also drunk dizzy.

Today is the first day of the first month of the seventh year of Zhenguan, and Li Pojun, who has been drinking and feasting all night, is still unable to rest, because the Yuanri court meeting is about to be held.

The Yuan Day Dynasty will be regarded as one of the most solemn several court meetings in a year, Li Pojun as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can not be absent, this court will not only be the civil and military officials of the Beijing Division to go to the court, and the local officials around the country will also send envoys or come in person, even the remote state and the subject countries will also send people to come, this day, is the day when the officials of the Tang Dynasty gather all over the country, and the Chang'an Inn Restaurant is full.

At this time, Li Pojun went back to the East Palace to rest, the sky was still bright, that is, he could faintly hear the bustle of the light house outside the palace wall, and on the first day of the first month, it was obvious that it reflected the temperament of the people of this era, and the people of Chang'an were even more so, they loved to be lively and social.

After dawn, every household has a banquet, and the neighbors begin to pay New Year's greetings, saying some auspicious words, and when they go to someone's house, they want to drink some Tusu wine, eat some gum and tooth food, and there is a special name, called Chuanzuo, and the boys in the second room are looking forward to Chuanzuo every day, and go to other people's houses to eat and drink.

The entire Chang'an City is filled with a lively atmosphere.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, come out quickly...".

"Husband, come out quickly and erect flags and light the pole."

Li Pojun, who was resting in a pretended sleep, smiled bitterly, and kept the New Year's Day all night, and he couldn't rest for a while.

"Big brother, big brother, are you resting? Don't sleep, come on, light the rod......".

"Big brother, let's shoot some rods, haha, Qingque, he doesn't dare to order this."

The voice came, a bunch of footsteps entered the house, and a few boys broke into the house, it was Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai, and a few people, and Xiao Li Zhi was pulled behind.

"I said that you guys didn't get tired after a crazy night last night, and I'll have to go to court later." Li Pojun rubbed his brows and said helplessly.

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, how lively this Chinese New Year is, what a sleep."

This is Li Ke's most lively, at the age of fourteen or fifteen years old, he is dancing very much, but Li Chengqian, who was a little stunned when he heard Li Pojun say this, scratched his head and smiled: "If the eldest brother is tired, take a break, and I will play with them for a while."

"Forget it, how can I still sleep with such a lively scene, and besides, I will go to court soon", Li Pojun said and hugged Li Zhi up, "What's wrong with the childish slave?" Why don't you speak? ”

Li Zhi will be five years old after the New Year, he looks like a tiger, his temperament is relatively quiet, he blinked his eyes and looked at Li Pojun, and when he heard this, he also lowered his head and whispered: "Childish slaves don't like to light a blasting rod, it's too scary."

Hearing Li Zhi's words, several unscrupulous brothers laughed, and Li Tai's little fat man also stepped forward to twist Li Zhi's face and laughed: "Childish slave, you are too timid."

"That's it, look at the eldest brother, you can go to the battlefield to kill people when you are only a teenager, and you write poems casually when you are your age."

Li Ke also quipped.

"As long as you can, the childish servile is quiet, don't scare him all the time as a brother."

glared at Li Ke, who was jokingly and laughing, and Li Pojun picked up Li Zhi and walked outside.

Xiao Yan and a few people are commanding Liu Sande and other palace maids to erect flags everywhere, the banners are long bamboo and wooden poles erected in the courtyard, and the top of the pole is tied with a belt made of paper or silk cloth, shaking in the cold wind, Li Pojun doesn't know what the meaning is, anyway, this is the custom of New Year's Day, and later generations still retain this custom in Japan, but the ribbons on it have evolved into "carp floating......

Li Ke ran to the side and dragged a long dried bamboo, looked at Li Pojun with great interest and said, "Big brother, come and have one, this bursting sound is exciting." Li Chengqian was also excited when he heard this, and ran over to drag the bamboo to light the fire, Li Zhi seemed to be a little scared, his eyelids blinked, and he covered his ears......

Looking at the so-called blasting rod, Li Pojun pouted, not interested at all, this is a firecracker, but it is just a sun-dried bamboo to burn and listen to the sound, if he gets the gunpowder out to make a firecracker, this group of boys must not be excited to death.

After playing with everyone for a while, there was a reminder from the chamberlain that he was ready to go to court, and Li Pojun also entered the palace to change into court clothes.

At this time, it was dawn, the sky was just shining, Li Pojun was not good at riding a horse, and walked all the way to the Taiji Palace, even the palace maids who passed by in a hurry were beaming, and the east and west side halls of the Taiji Hall were already crowded with people, and the foreign envoys who could be seen everywhere were all looking at each other with curiosity and excitement.

When Li Pojun arrived, it was naturally a lively scene, whether they knew the officials or not, they all came up to congratulate the New Year, thanked them all the way, and walked straight to the innermost group of people.

"Yuan Zheng Qizuo, everything is new, and the lower officials are only blessed with respect for the body." A senior officer in a four-grade official robe was congratulating Fang Xuanling with a smile on his face, if it wasn't a Beijing official, it was probably a feudal official such as the governor of a certain state, and Fang Xuanling also smiled in return.

"But I wish the eldest grandson a happy new day, a happy birthday, and a ......."

Listening to the lively New Year's greetings, Li Pojun also smiled, these auspicious words are really unusual, ordinary people don't know what they mean.

Seeing that Li Pojun was approaching, all the ministers also saluted and congratulated, gossiping, not to mention how lively it was.

"I've seen my uncle, Uncle Fang, Uncle Du...... Be polite, Happy New Year, and all the best."

In the face of the congratulations of the ministers, Li Pojun was also cool, a group of salutes, and the eight-character New Year's greeting was said directly and concisely, Fang Xuanling and others were not the first time to hear Li Pojun greet the New Year like this, but they were also used to it, and those local officials also had their eyes lit up when they heard such a novel New Year's language, and they secretly wrote it down.

The envoys of various countries are also shrewd people, and it was not easy to see the prince of the Tang Dynasty once He didn't say that he wanted to be familiar, so he had to say a few words, and they all stepped forward to congratulate Li Pojun in awkward Chinese, and Li Pojun also returned the salute one by one, and did not snub anyone.

Among them, there was an envoy from one country that aroused Li Pojun's interest, and that was the envoy of the Japanese State.

In fact, this envoy of the Japanese State is still quite famous, the famous is not that their country is strong or anything, and their perseverance is really amazing, Li Pojun has also heard of it many times, and the envoys of the Japanese State are not absent at the annual Yuan Day Great Meeting.

It is not easy to come to the Tang Dynasty from the Wa Kingdom, and if you don't get it right, you will encounter a shipwreck, the ship will be destroyed, so at the end of each year, the Wa State will send more than a dozen envoys to the Tang Dynasty at the same time, as long as there is a team of envoys who successfully cross the sea to the Tang Dynasty, it is a great luck, because they really want to attend the Tang Yuan Day Pilgrimage.

In Li Pojun's view, the Japanese state decided the departure date according to the date of the court meeting, completely ignoring the bad weather at sea in winter, and the ships and navigation technology were so bad, it was strange not to capsize.

In fact, in the eyes of Li Pojun, it is a bit funny, it is not necessary for the Japanese to come on time for thousands of miles, and they are not the protagonists, they just show their faces in front of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, eat a meal, and attend a meeting, I wonder if the emperor of the Celestial Empire still remembers them, so it is really a conscience.

After a while, the bell rang, the time for the court meeting came, the Beijing officials, foreign officials and envoys from various countries hurriedly listened to the words, sorted out their clothes, and then under the guidance of the supervising imperial history and the general affairs house, they entered the palace in turn, and proceeded step by step.

There are no less than 1,000 Beijing officials, foreign officials and envoys from various countries, and the Taiji Hall is big enough, but it is also slightly crowded.

Under the backdrop of a magnificent drum music, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin wore a crown and made a grand appearance, so not majestic, and the majestic emperor from ancient times came to his face.

The ministers knelt down to worship the mountain and shouted, and then Chen Shuda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as a representative, presented a congratulatory table, and at the end of the congratulatory table, Gao Shilian read out the sound on behalf of the emperor, "... Repeated celebrations, equal to the public...", and so on.

In short, everything is according to plan, although it is grand and atmospheric, but it is also quite boring, just because it is too serious, everyone is solemn with a strained face, even Cheng Zhijie, who is giggling and laughing and scolding in the court on weekdays, is serious.

Then by the Ministry of Household Shangshu Gonna state tribute, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Gongna tribute to the country, the Chinese book order read out the state, the country on the table, the Yellow Gate squire kneeling to play auspicious and so on.

These tributes, the table, etc. can not all be presented, you must know that there are more than 300 counties in the Tang Dynasty, and there are dozens of vassal countries, if they are presented one by one, I am afraid that one day is not enough, most of them are presented on behalf of some states and counties and subject countries, and the other meanings just read a name, in short, it has created an atmosphere of leading the land to the dynasty and celebrating the whole world.

I spent the morning making these things, and when Li Pojun was hungry in the middle of the day, it just happened to be over in the middle of the hour, and in the sound of drums, the morning was over, and the next thing was the "meeting", and this "meeting" was the part of eating.

The people of Guanglu Temple and Shangshi Bureau had already set up a banquet in the Shenlong Temple, and after it was set up, Li Shimin sat down again, he didn't need to say anything, he had a special official to say on his behalf, just hold a shelf and enjoy the feeling of worship and congratulations.

How cool this feeling is, it is really indescribable, Li Pojun was already enthusiastic just by seeing the Wanchen worship below, not to mention Li Shimin, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty who accepted the worship.

Li Shimin made a poem after holding the Yuan Ri Dynasty Meeting, called "The Sun is Coming to the Dynasty", which said: "The wind opens the festival, and the gray rhythm moves the early sun."

Hundreds of barbarians are devoted, and all countries are not young.

Although there is no trace of Shunyu, I am glad that the world is healthy.

The track is the same as the eight tables, and the books and texts are mixed in all directions".

Take a look, look at the words of this verse, it is a hundred barbarians, and it is of all nations, how energetic, this feeling of worship by all people, what a cool word!

In the sound of drums, the general affairs led the officials of the three grades and the envoys of various countries into the hall to sit down, and the officials below the three grades were sorry, so many people could not sit in the hall, so they could only go to the side halls on both sides to eat, after all, the honor of being able to eat with the emperor, the prince and the envoys of various countries is not something that anyone can have.

After eating, Li Shimin rewarded some auspicious items, such as cypress leaves, gold and silver flags, etc., and the Yuan-Ri Dynasty meeting ended.

Just when Li Pojun thought that the Yuanri Dynasty Meeting, which had been busy for a day, would end here, Li Shimin made another big move.
