Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 207

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan turned around and got into the chariot, leaving Li Chengdao with a confused face.

The so-called Jingyan originally refers to the imperial lecture hall specially set up by the emperor to lecture on the scriptures and history.Originally, this sutra feast was purely an academic exchange of debates.

However, since the Tang Dynasty, the number of foreign tribute envoys has gradually increased. I don’t know when, these foreigners also began to admire their Chinese culture. Gradually, this sutra feast became a grand event for the Tang Dynasty to display its national power and show off its power.

After Li Yuan left, Li Chengdao couldn't let go of the so-called Sutra Banquet in his heart. Today is different from the past. In the past, the kings of a country always invited Yan Shenggong to preside over the Sutra Banquet in order to show their national strength. Dealing with people from the Kong family in Shandong, when mentioning the Kong family, Li Chengdao couldn't help but think of the naive Kong Yi, and he felt a sense of loss.

Five days later, Li Chengdao was ordered to return to Chang'an City. At this time, Chang'an had taken on a completely new look. The city wall that was blown up by Gan Ning during the quelling of the rebellion had been repaired, and in order to welcome foreign envoys, Honglu Temple recruited a lot of people , and cleaned up the streets of Chang'an City.

It has been a long time since Chang'an City had such a grand scene!
Li Chengdao secretly sighed in his heart, riding a horse, Li Chengdao walked slowly, like a horse watching flowers all the way, thinking about what he had done since crossing.He drove away the king of Qin, became the emperor, and now he is in power. Although the current emperor is Li Yuan in name, but whether in the court or the army, the people in power are almost all Li Chengdao's subordinates back then.

The spring breeze was so good that the horse's hooves were so fast that he saw all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. Li Chengdao secretly thought about this poem and read it out involuntarily. These words reached the ears of Kong Ming who came to pick him up. Kong Ming read it silently several times unconsciously. , a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Highness has a good literary talent. Originally, the old minister was worried that His Highness would be able to deal with the verbal swords at the sutra banquet. Now it seems that the old minister was too worried!"

Hearing this, Li Chengdao thought to himself, if you want to talk about fighting the Confucians, you, Mr. Kong Ming, are the master!
But Li Chengdao just thought about it, so naturally he didn't say it, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng Dao doesn’t even know what it is for! This time, I planned to discuss it with you after I came back. This Sutra Banquet is a big event anyway, so don’t let me lose you by showing it.”

Kongming heard the words, shook his feather fan lightly, and said: "Your Highness is too modest, just because of your sentence of spring breeze proud of horseshoe disease, seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day, it can be called an eternal quatrain!"

"Don't mention this, Mr. Kong Ming," Li Chengdao waved his hand, his face changed, and he asked with some seriousness and guilt: "Mr. Kong Ming, I heard that the Kong family from Shandong will also come?"

"It's true," Kong Ming knew that Li Chengdao was thinking of Kong Yi and sighed: "This scripture feast is a grand gathering of Confucianism. The Confucian family in Shandong and Yan Shenggong are the direct descendants of the Confucian saint. To be honest, if there were no Confucian family in Shandong, this scripture feast would not be possible. The feast can’t even begin!”

"Does the Kong family in Shandong know about Kong Yi?"

"How did you hide this matter!" Kong Ming sighed, and said, "That Kong Yi is the jewel in the palm of the contemporary Yan Shenggong. I expected her to be able to climb up to your high branch. The whole family of Kong's family is paying attention!"

Hearing this, Li Chengdao also had a look of pain on his face and said, "Kong Yi, this poor girl, after all, she ended up like this because of me!"

"Your Highness," Kong Ming enlightened, "Miss Kong Yi is a lucky person, and hasn't this corpse been found all the time? As the saying goes, you need to see people when you live, and you need to see corpses when you die. meeting…"

Speaking of this, Kong Ming paused, because when he said this, he was not sure in his heart. Li Chengdao sighed helplessly when he heard the words, and said: "Although it is so, how long has it been, she is a little girl , don't...forget it, let Jin Yiwei continue to search, if it doesn't work, strengthen the manpower, and we must find Kong Yi!"

"Your Highness, please don't worry!" Kong Ming said, "The old minister has already dispatched additional forces from the local government to go in. Master Suzaku also held a waist card a few days ago, asking all places to try their best to find Miss Kong Yi!"

"Your Highness, the matter between you and Lord Suzaku..." Kong Ming just spoke, but Li Chengdao interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Li Chengdao said: "Sir, I have been with you for many years. Since Chengdao lost his parents, he has always treated you and the other old generals as family members. It's just that the matter of the relationship between the two girls here should be resolved by Chengdao himself!"

Kong Ming nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Your Highness, let's go quickly, don't make the emperor wait in a hurry."

Li Chengdao nodded, and the two of them sprinted forward, heading straight for the palace.

Seeing Li Chengdao, Li Yuan was obviously in a better mood.

After all, he is the eldest grandson of the prince, and after Li Yuan returned to the throne, both political economy and military power have been sorted out in an orderly manner by Li Chengdao. It can be said that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the current Tang Dynasty has truly become stronger.

If it weren't for Li Chengdao's blind refusal, Li Yuan really wanted to hand over the world to Li Chengdao, and retire to the second line to enjoy his life.

Li Chengdao naturally knew what Li Yuan was thinking, but although Li Yuan was older now, he was not yet old enough to retreat behind the scenes, and seeing that Li Chengdao was about to go on an expedition against the Turks, Li Chengdao did not want to have no owner in the country and have to work hard to develop. Everything that got up went back to before liberation overnight.

"I didn't expect it!" Li Yuan said, "The Sutra Banquet will be held again."

At this time, Li Yuan was sitting in the first place in the royal study, followed by Li Chengdao and Kong Ming.

"Those Hanlin scholars, inspectors and censors gave bitter remonstrances every day, and what's more, they handed over blood books, which made me very upset!" Li Yuan said with a wry smile, rubbing his forehead.

Hearing this, Li Chengdao got up and cupped his hands and said, "Now the emperor is sitting in the world, the world is home, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. If it weren't for this, how could he attract envoys from all over the world to worship, and how could these people think of re-opening some sutra banquet!"

Li Chengdao's words summed up the meaning that the economic base determines the superstructure. If the common people in the world can't eat enough to eat, who cares whether he is Kong Laoer or Lao Daozhuang?
After listening to Li Chengdao's words, Li Yuan was very pleased. He waved his hands and said with a smile: "To say all this, it is not all your credit. Now the COFCO business you opened is booming, the internal treasury is abundant, and our Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. Let me tell you, Chengdao, you are the Mingjun Holy Master today!"

"Grandpa Huang, everything Chengdao did was followed by his ears and eyes. Without Grandpa Huang, how could Chengdao do so many things!"

"Hahaha, brat, let us stop flattering each other, now that the world's scholars are celebrating the reopening of the sutra banquet, all the Imperial Academy and Inspectorate are also rejoicing!

Li Yuan said with a smile, then suddenly sighed and said, "Chengdao, do you know why I want you to participate in this sutra feast?"
