Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2884
The situation of competing for storage is very delicate.

The prince occupies the righteous name and has the support of the vast majority of ministers in the court, so his strength is naturally strong.King Jin only has the support of Guan Long, and Guan Long's interior is unstable, and there is always the danger of splitting up. His strength has long been inferior to what it used to be.

This can be seen from the fact that King Jin personally entered the military department, but did not receive strong support from Guan Long. Today's Guan Long nobles are already powerless.

But the problem is that the world belongs to His Majesty Li Er, and His Majesty Li Er's prestige is enough to frighten all the officials. As long as he is determined to support King Jin, all the opposition will be uncountable.

Don't say such words as "abolishing the old and establishing the young" and "shaking the country's foundation". He has been fighting at the forefront since the beginning of Jinyang's rise of troops, and made great contributions to the birth of the empire. His majesty Li Er possesses unparalleled prestige, he is the "national foundation" of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he is there, the empire will never be chaotic.

Everything in the empire can be done arbitrarily.

He wants to dethrone the prince, although some people dare to say it verbally, but who dares to make little change?
Therefore, the ownership of the final reserve position still lies only in His Majesty Li Er's thoughts...

Of course, it is not because of this that His Majesty Li Er can do whatever he wants. He has to consider the consequences of abandoning the elders and establishing the younger ones. The Xuanwumen change is certainly the pinnacle of Li Er's life, but for the Li Tang royal family, it is already bad. According to the rules of Zongyou's succession, if he abolishes the elders and establishes the younger ones and pushes the king of Jin to the throne, he will have to bear the consequences in the future.

The eldest son can't determine the status of the reserve, and his talent can't guarantee the name of the prince. The throne of the ninety-five kings depends on who the emperor wants, and can even be sought by tricks, means and strength...

It is conceivable that once this evil result happens, the sons and grandchildren of the Li Tang royal family will be accompanied by killing and blood for generations because of the ownership of the throne. The moment when Tang was overthrown and Li Tang royal family became extinct.

What is more important, and how to choose, His Majesty Li Er must be very entangled in his heart. No matter what decision he makes, it needs long-term consideration and weighing, and he has suffered a lot.

But then again, all this is exactly what he asked for...

*****
In front of the Chengtian Gate, the King of Jin arrived late, and as soon as he got off the carriage, many officials from Guanlong came up to greet him, bowed and saluted, and congratulated him repeatedly.

During the Spring Festival, we always have to say a few festive words when meeting each other. Even though the prince's side is surrounded by a large number of officials, the situation on Jinwang's side is a bit shabby by comparison...

Li Zhi was dressed in official robes, his youthful face lost a bit of immaturity, but he was still delicate and handsome, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Soon, an interesting scene appeared on the square outside Chengtian Gate. A large number of officials gathered around the prince, and the number of people on King Jin's side was not small, and another group of people gathered in twos and threes far away. The neutral faction who is unwilling to get involved in the battle for reserves, and there is a group of people standing at the side of the door with their hands tied in strange clothes. They are envoys from various countries who came to participate in the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting...

Each has a position, and the differences are clear.

At the first moment of Maoshi, with the sound of three drums, the Chengtian Gate slowly opened, and a group of fierce imperial guards with helmets and armor trotted out from the gate. He has a straight chest and a protruding belly, with his hand on the handle of the horizontal knife at his waist, his momentum is majestic and murderous.

Civil and military ministers are used to it, but the foreign envoys were taken aback by this aura, and bowed their heads and ears tremblingly, not even daring to breathe.

The Tang army came fast and domineering, brave and good at fighting. No matter whether they were in the northern borders or the Western Regions or in the East and South Seas, they rarely disobeyed and killed foreigners. Even though these people had never experienced the killing of the Tang army, they were familiar with it. At this moment Standing in front of the Taiji Palace, the center of the Tang Empire, how could one not be frightened and overwhelmed by the might of the Tang Dynasty?

Later, Wang De, the head of internal affairs, and two eunuchs came out from Chengtian Gate, read out His Majesty's decree, and invited all ministers and foreign envoys to enter the palace to hold a court meeting.

The foreign envoys were under the organization of Honglu Temple officials, and then followed.

At this time, the sky is not yet bright, and the night is dark, but the Taiji Palace is decorated with lights and festoons, just like daytime.Countless lanterns hung on the walls, lintels, and tree branches, illuminating the entire palace brightly. When we arrived at the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall, countless lanterns were lit along the square, and the huge square was brightly lit.

Walking a few steps forward, looking up along the white marble steps, the Taiji Hall stands majestically. The roof and pillars are covered with lanterns.

Have many foreign envoys ever seen such a glorious scene?
They were filled with awe in their hearts, and even knelt down on the ground immediately, speaking their own languages, showing their infinite respect and awe to Datang.

Brilliant and mighty, majestic as a mountain.

This is the atmosphere of the most powerful country in the world!

The civil and military officials divided into two rows, climbed up the steps along the two sides of the white marble steps in front of the gate of Taiji Hall, and when they reached the top of the platform, they saw that the gate of Taiji Hall was open, and there were countless arm-thin candles burning inside. The bright paint paintings on the beams and pillars are illuminated by the candlelight, and the smooth and smooth gold bricks on the ground reflect the candlelight, making the large and spacious hall look more majestic and majestic.

Wendong and Wuxi, stand up according to their titles. The officials in the first two rows have a cushion, and they can sit down after meeting with His Majesty later. The envoys from various countries who came in at the end can only stand nervously and hastily around the door, wanting to sit down. There is definitely no place.

In the Tang Dynasty, all foreigners were second-class citizens. Even if they were as powerful as the Western Turks at the time, they never had the political qualifications to be compared with the Tang people.

As for "foreign race priority" and "super national treatment", it is almost unheard of.

Any official who dares to give preferential treatment to a foreign country must first accept the impeachment of Yushitai, and then wait for the people all over the country to spit wildly...

Great China, since the Three Emperors established the country and the Five Emperors opened the borders, has claimed to be an orthodox and ceremonial state in the world. Even if there is foreign invasion, it will be an athlete to rush to the national calamity, rather than submit to death. Give me back my rivers and mountains!For thousands of years, the majestic mountains and rivers have shed the blood and tears of the men and women of the Han family, but they have never bowed their heads to flatter and be willing to be cattle and horses.

……

At the third quarter of Mao hour, His Majesty Li Er came out of the apse wearing a crown in full attire, and sat on the throne under the eyes of all the ministers.

The civil and military ministers all bowed and saluted, bowed to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "I wait to have an audience with Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live a long and prosperous life, and the empire will live forever!"

His Majesty Li Er said in a loud voice: "Everyone who loves you, please be free from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After seeing the ceremony, the ministers who had seats in the front rows knelt on the mats holding wat boards, and the officials in the back who did not have enough rank could only stand with their hands tied.

As for the foreign envoys, they were already so frightened by the panic and majesty that they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

His Majesty Li Er seemed very excited today, it was probably a new year and a new atmosphere, and he was in a very good mood.The Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting is the most important court meeting of the year. It is important because foreign envoys are summoned, and annual gifts are given. Tang Zhi recognized.

As for military and national affairs, they will not be discussed and discussed on such occasions.

It can't be called feudal centralization. From ancient times to the present, the Chinese people have tried countless political systems in the long history, but they found that military and state affairs have never been able to gather the wisdom of the people and unite their will.The more important things are, the more they need to be discussed in a concentrated manner, and even the emperor can make arbitrarily arbitrary decisions. It is simply not feasible for the minority to obey the majority, because most people are limited by their knowledge and ability, and cannot really give a correct answer to a question.

It is the right way to solve the problem together...

Sitting on the throne, His Majesty Li Er talked about the current situation of the empire with great interest, especially "remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness".When talking about when the empire was first established, the whole country was in dire straits, and the whole country worked hard and frugally to overcome the difficulties, and even Queen Wende's skirt couldn't cover her feet, it was inevitable to sigh infinitely.

All the officials in the palace were grateful for the virtuous and dignified Empress Wende, and at this moment, everyone's eyes were red, but they were sincere.
