[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 22

In fact, what Ming Chongyan said before was really confusing, like saying that the crown prince has turned the bad luck into a blessing, and then he said that Erlang's fate will be subordinated to Dalang...

No matter how it sounds, it seems that Li Hong can avoid an early death, and everything will be fine after that.

But now that I think about it, this little Taoist priest didn't say for sure that Da Lang would survive Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu!

Wu Xu couldn't help but blush, and said half of what he said and kept the other half, this Ming Chongyan already has the potential of a magic stick!

"What does the real person think of me, Saburo?" Wu Xu wanted to see how Ming Chongyan would judge Sanlang.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou has great blessings, his nature is generous, and he should be rewarded with good things. He just needs to pay attention to the important matters of marriage. The so-called wife is a good husband and less trouble..." Needless to say, Xiaosanlang has some blessings, but he The future wife may hinder his fate, so he must choose carefully.

Wu Xu took a look at Xiao Sanlang, who was only about the size of three heads, and couldn't imagine what he would look like when he married a wife in the future, even if he was Da Lang, he was still young...

Everyone's thoughts were probably similar to Wu Xu's, and the hall became strangely quiet for a moment...

Wu Minzhi's cousin, who first paid attention to Dao Xiaosaburo's problem, heard that Ming Chongyan's few words did not contain anything that would endanger His Highness the Crown Prince, so he continued to act like an iceberg, and he was not interested in asking how he looked.

As for classmate Li Xian, after he heard that his brother would not die early, he was completely at ease, and he couldn't care less about whether Xiao Saburo would be ruled by his wife in the future. Isn't he still involved in the matter of marrying a wife? Are parents checking ╮(╯_╰)╭

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, as a more son-in-law's father, heard Daoist Xiaoming say that his Sanlang is soft-eared and henpecked, so he didn't care too much. As long as the lady can get on the stage, it's no big deal to listen to the lady's words more╮(╯ U╰)╭

You see, his Awu is very capable, and can often think of things that ordinary people can't think of. Shouldn't such a lady listen to her more?

Everyone had different thoughts, only Xiao Saburo, the person involved, was still ignorant. Seeing that Awei and others had already set up the refreshments, he happily greeted everyone to have snacks, and even recommended his favorite crisps with a big plate. point.

Daoist Xiao Ming originally wanted to continue to act like a master, but when he saw His Royal Highness King Zhou holding a large plate of pastries, jumping up and down in front of him, he couldn't hold it anymore...

Good, so cute!

When Xiao Saburo interrupted them, everyone stopped acting serious. After talking and laughing, they took their refreshments, and then they each left—because it was time for Tianhou's lady's regular rest.

The news that the emperor and the empress had summoned Master Ming and praised him quickly spread to all the states and counties at the foot of Mount Tai. Find out where the county magistrate Huang'an has gone.

More people in the local area know a little about the fame of Master Daoming. They heard that even the Emperor and Empress specially summoned him, and worshiped him even more. He can show himself a picture, make a divination or something...

"Bastard! Poor Dao is not those charlatans, fortune-telling? Character-testing? What kind of mess!" In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Ming, who should have risen to fame and boundless fame, now knows what is meant by "people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid." strong'!

But in just two days, the threshold of the small courtyard where he lived was stepped down by several inches, even the top of the wall was almost collapsed, and countless dignitaries sent invitations, no one could refuse...

This day has not been posted!

"Da Lang, why don't we go back to Yuzhou..." Xiaoming's book boy suggested cautiously.

If things go on like this, the gentleman in Yuzhou will also know that Da Lang was summoned by the Second Saint and was rewarded, and then he will not be able to hide the matter of Da Lang pretending to be a Taoist priest!

However, classmate Xiao Ming ran away from home with great difficulty, why would he just go back like this? !

Besides, his bright road to fame is already in front of him, how could he just give up like this?

"Isn't it just that you don't recruit yourself when you go back?" Xiao Ming had already made up his mind, and said to his family's sad little book boy: "The second sage will return to Chang'an in a few days, and I will go north with Sheng Jia... ..."

"When I enter the court and put on the big red robe, Father will have nothing to say~~~~~"

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been a lot of people from other places who have entered the official position. As long as he becomes an official of the court, I believe that my father will not care about the fact that he pretends to be a Taoist priest to fool people...

The bookboy of Xiaoming's family still frowns, "But... Dalang, you have clearly promised my wife that you will not mention being a Taoist priest anymore, and you will come to Mount Tai for a study tour..."

"If I didn't say that at the beginning, why would Auntie let me out?" Classmate Xiao Ming looked at his little book boy with contempt, and then said: "Didn't you hear the maid beside Auntie mention it? Marry with our Ming family..."

When Xiao Ming's book boy heard this, his mouth opened wide.

That Zhou family is a wealthy local family in Yuzhou, so many people rush to marry each other but they can't get married. His Dalang looks so disgusted, what kind of trouble is this going to do?

"What kind of stupid do you look like? What kind of family do you think our Ming family is?" Xiao Ming became furious when he saw his school boy's appearance. How could he keep such a stupid talent? A book boy, if he hadn't looked at the kid with a bit of beauty, he would have... hum!

As soon as his own boss mentioned the word "Mingshi", the little book boy immediately realized it.

Their Ming family is a common surname in Pingyuan, with a long history and profound heritage. At the beginning, the Wang Xie family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty respected the ancestors of the Ming family very much, and because they were afraid of the power of the Ming family, they did not dare to let the people of the Ming family occupy high positions.

From this point of view, the Zhou family is not worthy of their Da Lang.

"That's right, our Dalang wants to be a husband-in-law, and he will definitely be able to be the master in the future. How can those daughters of small families and small families be worthy..." The little book boy looked proud and stupid, and looked at Xiao Ming. The classmate trembled again.

Not to mention that classmate Xiao Ming once again lamented that his little bookboy only has a face, but said that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu and his officials lived in Mount Tai for more than a month, and when Wu Xu was in good health, he drove back to Chang'an.

Now that Chang'an Daming Palace was completed, the emperor and empress moved directly into the new palace.

This year's New Year's banquet, all officials hosted the banquet in the brand new Daming Palace Hanyuan Hall.

At the beginning, when His Majesty Li Xiaojiu said that he would build a new palace to live in, at least [-]% of the civil and military officials agreed. Today, at the gathering in Hanyuan Hall, the remaining [-]% also expressed that the idea of ​​building a new palace is not bad.

As in previous years, the Chinese New Year banquet was presided over by the Emperor. Civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above in Chang'an could go to the hall to receive the banquet and receive New Year's benefits. Those with outstanding political achievements could also receive additional awards from the Emperor on the spot.

This year, in the Xinqi Palace, the moods of civil and military officials seem to be extraordinarily excited, Daming Palace is so majestic, gorgeous and bright!It is conceivable how excited everyone is to be able to work in such a luxurious office after the Chinese New Year!

What made everyone even more excited was watching the expressions of the envoys from neighboring countries who came to pay homage to the emperor in the New Year...

Very colorful, is there wood? !

The Tang Dynasty wiped out the last remnant of resistance forces on Wajima last year, and all the small countries in the east were so frightened that they voluntarily surrendered.

Nowadays, Bohai, Shiwei and other places in the northeast are actively asking Datang to send officials to help them govern the region. Small countries such as Yezo have directly expressed their willingness to become a county under the command of Datang.

The situation in the eastern part of the Tang Dynasty was very good, and His Majesty Li Xiaojiu did not ignore the two most trouble-prone places in the west and north.

Since the Tang army destroyed the Gaochang Kingdom in the 14th year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty has never relaxed its control over the Western Regions. After His Majesty Li Xiaojiu ascended the throne, he promoted many generals with both civil and military skills to participate in the battle to expand the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. It conquered the Western Turks, unified the entire northwest, and the land stretched to the border of Persia.

Today, the ethnic minorities in the west and north have been moved to the south in a planned way by Wu Xu, and they have been raised in captivity in the south. At the same time, a large number of Han people have been placed on large areas of land in the west and north to open up wasteland and build towns. I believe that within five years, both the west and the north will become An inseparable part of the Tang Dynasty, such as Ashina Helu's surrender and rebellion, will never happen again.

At present, only the southwest area is more complicated. Wu Xu has always been worried about the fact that Sichuan (parts), Qinghai and other places are not under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu doesn't have the plot of "the whole of China is complete" like Wu Xu, and he cares more about Tubo in the west.

Don't look at the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan's rhetoric, such as "Tubo and Tang Dynasty are friendly for generations", "never fight wars" and so on. When the real stake is at stake, it doesn't matter who you are!

No, the year before last, when the Tang Dynasty was trying its best to clean up the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese, Tubo quietly swallowed up a small piece of land in the southwest of Tuyuhun, directly threatening the king's tent of Tuyuhun...

Wu Xudao still doesn't know about this matter. Li Zhi only learned the details after seeing the secret report from the governor of Anxi Dadu. It's a pity that Tubo's military operations had become an established fact at that time, and Tuyuhun didn't think much about it. Tang asked for help or something, and the Tang government couldn't do anything.

After that, the Tubo side sent a letter to Lu Dongzan from Zhengshitang, severely condemning the other party's actions that harmed friendly neighboring countries.

In the end, Lu Dongzan pushed it three-five-six, just didn't know, and finally denied it, but he just paid a Tubo princess to Tuyuhun's son and it was clear...

Tuyuhun dared to be angry and dare not speak out, so he could only accept the princess of Tubo to make peace.

After all, it is not a matter of this country, and there are too many constraints, even Li Sanlang has nothing to do, so this matter has no choice but to let it go.

As a result, this year's New Year's celebration, not only did a large number of envoys come to Tuyuhun, but the leader of the team was actually the first married princess of the Tang Dynasty—Princess Honghua who married Tuyuhun King Nuohebo in the 14th year of Zhenguan.

When His Majesty Li Xiaojiu saw Princess Honghua, he almost guessed her intention of coming, but he did not respond to Princess Honghua's earnest eyes, but ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites to entertain the envoys of Tuyuhun and Tubo without discrimination.

Knowing that the banquet in the front hall was over, only a few palace people recruited Princess Honghua to the back hall in the name of Tianhou wanting to meet the clan's relatives...
