Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

In front of the Suzaku Gate.

Except for one passage, all other standing spaces were packed with people.

This passage is where officials enter the palace.

Today is a grand ceremony, and all civil and military officials will celebrate together.

"Oh, Secretary Wei, how are you? I didn't expect to meet you at the door by chance." Kong Yingda was also dressed in a clean Confucian scholar's blue gown today. He walked through the corridor with Yu Shinan, Gai Wenda and others to attend the ceremony.

"What a coincidence, Chongyuan, you're here too, come on, come on, please, please, hahahaha... Today is a national event, Chongyuan, you must not leave until you are drunk!"

Wei Zheng said quickly, his facial features almost invisible from smiling.

"Hey, Governor Yang, when did you come to Chang'an? Is everything going well in Luoyang?"

"Everything is safe and sound in Luoyang. Your Majesty, I will naturally be there to celebrate in person!"

"That's right. Leave some people to guard Luoyang. I, the governor of Yangzhou, am almost here at full speed, let alone him!"

"Hahahaha... Let's go, let's go and see His Majesty together!!"

In the passage, many high-ranking local officials who were away also gathered together.

After all, the officials in the Tang Dynasty cannot be limited to those in Chang'an.

Therefore, the number of local officials guarding the ten regions of the country is also very large.

Today is such a prosperous time that almost all qualified officials from other religions who can come have come.

Even if we couldn't come, we would try our best to come.

Everyone knows that what happened today will be recorded in history!
Besides, destroying the Turks has been the top priority since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!

They must not be absent!

Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and their group walked inside.

Officials who were familiar with each other also traveled together.

However, when he walked past where the head of the Zhaojun Li family, Jie Li Khan, and Hou Junji were kneeling, the smiles on his faces paused slightly.

He looked at them with complicated eyes.

Some people don't understand why.

I was also a little panic-stricken.

Aristocratic family!

Not surprisingly, most of the people here come from aristocratic families.

But now that the head of the Zhaojun Li family was kneeling here, they did not feel too comfortable in their hearts.

The Li family of Zhaojun has fallen!

This is not good news for them.

Moreover, during this period, most of the high-ranking officials from the Zhaojun Li family were dismissed or demoted.

The trees fell and the hozens scattered.

Countless clan officials, seeing the Zhaojun Li family's current miserable state, did not dare to say a word.

God's will plays tricks on people.

This is not something they can control.

There is no way to solve it!

Collude with the Turks!

This charge alone left them with no way to plead for leniency or to excuse themselves.

This is a capital crime!

If they begged for mercy, there would be only one ending, and that ending for Zhaojun Li would not be written, and then I would go down to accompany Zhaojun Li.

This was a terrible thing that aroused the anger of the entire world. All the nobles and officials in the court had only one thought, which was to stay as far away from it as possible, for fear that it would stick to them.

"This group of people, huh!!"

The head of the Zhaojun Li family had a cold gaze as he scanned them one by one.

"Not only them, but all the officials of the clans, just wait. Li Shimin won't touch them now because there is no one available."

"But once the imperial examination begins, all situations in the ten regions of the world will be completely disrupted in an instant."

"By then, the clan power will really be a thing of the past. They don't really think that they can escape disaster by selling us out, do they?"

"By then, the ten important positions in the world will be held by scholars from humble backgrounds. Working together with Li Shimin, the aristocratic families will be completely reduced to dough, and Li Shimin can do whatever he wants with them."

The voice of the Zhaojun Li family head was filled with gloom.

The fierce light in his eyes was truly crystal clear.

Hou Junji took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes directly.

Once upon a time, I was among this group of people, and the focus of this group of people.

After all, there are only a few dukes in the Tang Dynasty?

But at this moment, he actually knelt here, allowing them to watch him like a monkey.

perhaps…….
I shouldn't have followed the Prince of Wei from the beginning.

Even if you don't follow the King of Chu, you can continue to follow the Prince!
call…….
For the sake of temporary interests, one may cause eternal hatred.

Hou Junji thought to himself, but now it was too late to regret.

Jie Li Khan snorted coldly.

Kneeling there, motionless.

Now, almost anything he said would become a joke.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!

It has not changed since ancient times.

The King of Chu...
damn it!
I really don’t know how a prince who is so young and hasn’t even reached the age of 50 can have such a large army!
If he knew how terrifying Qin Changye was, he would never start a war against the Tang Dynasty even if he was beaten to death!

It would be much better to just pretend to be your grandson.

Still eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.

Jie Li Khan's mind was also filled with regret.

Will that person come today?
This question suddenly emerged in the minds of the head of the Zhaojun Li family, Jie Li Khan and Hou Junji.

That man.

Do not!
Now it should be said that young man!

The fate of these three people took a 180-degree turn because of him.

If I can't see him with my own eyes before I die, I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die.

"I really don't know how Your Majesty will proceed with the order of the ceremony today and when to dig the sweet potatoes."

"Who knows? But it's almost here. We've been waiting for several months. How can we wait for a few hours? I really don't know if these sweet potatoes are really as your majesty said, and can...gulp...yield a thousand kilograms per mu."

"Just wait, it should be soon, at least it will be today."

"I wonder if the Prince of Chu will come today. It would be great if Prince Qin came. This way, the ceremony would be a complete success."

"I think they should come. After all, the sweet potatoes are about to be born. Didn't they say that these sweet potatoes were obtained by Young Master Qin? Your Majesty just arranged for people to plant them."

"But, it seems that Master Qin is not here."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's still early. Master Qin should be here by now."

"......."

The people in front of the Suzaku Gate were talking a lot, stretching their necks to look at the officials walking through the passage one after another.

Look expectantly.

Extremely excited.

They all wanted very much to see the legendary Qin Changye with their own eyes.

Then, say: Long live Master Qin!

The people looked at it eagerly and were full of anticipation.

Looking forward to Qin Changye's appearance.

And right now.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin also wore a gorgeous dragon robe that looked mighty and domineering.

He was helping Li Yuan try on clothes.

Of course Li Yuan had to attend such an occasion. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin's biological father, he absolutely had to attend.

"Erlang, has Young Master Qin arrived yet?"

Li Yuan stretched out his arms, looked down at the busy Li Shimin, and asked.

Li Shimin was slightly stunned by the movement of his hands.

Even Empress Changsun, who was helping to clean up at the back, was slightly stunned, and the smile on her face faded slightly.

"Father, not yet."

"I have been stationing people in front of Wangyun Inn. As long as Master Qin arrives, I will definitely know." "But unfortunately, no news has come from there. I also invited Elder God Sun and Taoist Yuan Tiangang, but Elder God Sun said that he doesn't like places that are too crowded and didn't attend. The same is true for Taoist Yuan Tiangang."

Li Shimin replied.

"Why……."

Li Yuan sighed heavily.

He shook his head, with a hint of regret in his voice.

"Kuan'er isn't coming..."

"I was thinking about having a nice drink with you two, so that's fine."

"How about...I won't go either?"

"Father, no!" Li Shimin heard this and gave a bitter smile. He quickly said, "Father, the people of the world all want to see you. The civil and military officials also often talk about you. And that Jie Li Khan, father, don't you want to see him dance for our Tang Dynasty?"

"This is a gift that Kuan'er carefully prepared for my father. It is also a gift for our Great Tang Empire."

"Not to mention, there is also the birth of sweet potatoes. Father, you are indispensable for everything!"

After hearing this, Li Yuan nodded.

"That's fine."

"In that case, let's go."

Li Yuan said nothing more.

After everything was packed up, officials from the Ministry of Rites came over and started a series of ceremonies.

These rituals and rules have been passed down from ancestors throughout the dynasties, so of course they are indispensable.

When Li Yuan, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun arrived in front of Taiji Palace, the sun just jumped out of the horizon.

The sky is filled with glow.

The world is sunny.

The spring breeze is blowing.

Peace in the world.

Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin...
All the officials of the Tang Dynasty were lined up in the square inside the imperial city.

Extremely neat and powerful.

The memorial ceremony has begun!

Offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors!
Incense is burning and smoke is rising.

The incense was so popular that the rising smoke almost obscured the sky above the imperial city, and even the sun was only barely visible in outline.

It was at this time.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui, they suddenly looked at each other subconsciously.

A thought appeared in my mind almost at the same time.

It seems like, something is missing.

Although this was the case in all previous sacrificial ceremonies, this time they felt that something was missing.

"firecracker!"

"It's a pity that Master Qin is not here, otherwise, the place would be filled up and it would be really lively!"

Chang Sun Wuji lowered his voice and said softly
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and the others also had their eyebrows trembling slightly.

That's right!

It's firecrackers!

This kind of scene, without the sound of firecrackers, would really feel dull.

It was Li Shimin who was standing above. As if he knew everything, he turned his head and looked at them, his eyebrows trembling slightly.

It seemed that he also heard the sound of firecrackers in his heart.

However, there is no way.

If Qin Changye is not here, even if a god came, he probably wouldn’t be able to do it.

Under the guidance of the Minister of Rites, after three kneelings and nine kowtows and various cumbersome rituals, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was finally over.

However, none of the officials moved.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin who was standing on the 9981st step.

"The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony has officially ended!"

Li Shimin roared, swept his eyes over the crowd, and continued to shout: "Qi!"

"Follow me, and go to Suzaku Gate to welcome Mr. Qin, who has entrusted us with the greatest treasure in the world, and brings good luck to the world!"

"Three months ago, I, the Queen, and all the officials planted sweet potatoes in front of the Suzaku Gate. We lived up to everyone's expectations and Mr. Qin's trust. Finally, they are ripe!"

“For all people in the world, food is their first priority.”

"For thousands of years, the people of the world have worked together, but the crops they harvested each season are only a small amount, barely enough to feed themselves. But if there is even the slightest accident, the world will collapse completely."

"Throughout the dynasties, there have been too many such incidents. Not to mention other things, just look at the various natural and man-made disasters since I ascended the throne. Every time, countless people have been displaced, countless people have starved, left their homes and become refugees, and countless homes have been destroyed and damaged beyond repair."

"Why? Because we have too little food. We will be unable to support ourselves if there is any disturbance!"

Li Shimin said this and swallowed hard.

His voice became a little hoarse.

However, he did not stop at all. On the contrary, he became more and more excited and agitated. His hands were clenched so hard that the blue veins were about to burst out from under his skin.

He had waited too long for this day.

My heartbeat is like the roar of a war drum.

The blood is rushing like a thousand horses.

He really wanted to take a quick look at what the sweet potatoes looked like and how many there were.

Before this, no one had ever seen what a sweet potato harvest looked like.

And now!
Finally he waited for it!
"But, today!"

Li Shimin's voice suddenly rose.

"Prince Qin Wenyuan has brought auspicious signs of a yield of 1,000 catties per mu to the world, to the Tang Dynasty, and to the people!"

"At this moment, the auspicious sign is outside the Suzaku Gate. Gentlemen, follow me to personally welcome it. The auspicious sign is coming!"

The voice fell.

Li Yuan and Empress Chang Sun stood on both sides, their eyes twitching wildly, and they were extremely excited and could hardly control themselves.

"Long live His Majesty, long live Master Qin, we welcome the auspiciousness, and long live the Great Tang Dynasty!"

"......."

Almost at the same time, the gentlemen raised their voices loudly, resounding through the sky and spreading throughout Chang'an!

And when the sound of all the gentlemen bursting out in unison exploded in the sky.

Outside the imperial city, the voices of countless people were heard, reaching the sky.

The people heard it.

They also guessed what Li Shimin would do next.

Welcome auspiciousness!

Time to dig sweet potatoes!!

How could the people not explode!

"Long live His Majesty, long live Master Qin, welcome the auspicious sign! Long live the Great Tang Dynasty!"

"......."

The voices of the people outside the imperial city became more and more excited, like a dagger, stabbing fiercely into everyone's heart.

Unconsciously, in this atmosphere, everyone's hearts were connected.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

He listened to the roars in his ears, laughed a few times, and strode towards the Suzaku Gate.

sweet potato!

hiss…….
Mr. Qin, did you hear that?

These sounds are all for you!

Li Shimin took a deep breath and felt jealous.

Fenglangjuxu pacified the Turks!

Auspicious sign comes and the yield per mu is 1,000 kilograms!

The two most important things today were all done by Qin Changye.

To be honest, as an emperor, he pales in comparison to the name of Qin Changye.

Li Shimin calmed down his mind, and his excited fingers trembled in confusion.
