Zhen Guo Princess GL

For my father, there are many happy events this year, not only about children and grandchildren, marriage, and enshrinement, but also because the war has subsided this year, people from Tubo and Turks have been sent to see him, and there are many more people from all over the world who come to the court than in previous years.For my mother, this year is even more important, not only because she will go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to her father, but also because her father ordered her clan, officials and chiefs to meet the Queen of Heaven outside Guangshun Gate on the winter solstice.

During the winter solstice and the first lunar month, there are grand ceremonies. Officials meet their fathers outside the Guangshun gate, and their wives meet their mothers inside the Guangshun gate. This is an old rule, but this year, the old rule has been changed for the mother.

Mother did not hide her excitement in front of us. In mid-October, she bestowed no less than [-] bolts of satin on King Wu, Li Rui, and me in various names. At the beginning of November, she gave Li Rui a lot of silk. , asked Li Rui to go to the Temple of Mercy for her to do a big ceremony - naturally only we know about these excitements, mother is more gentle and more like a "virtuous" wife in front of father than ever before.Not only did she call King Wu into the palace several times to have banquets, and frequently gave rewards, but she also persuaded her father to make all the sons of King Wu except the eldest son Duke.The infant Li Qianli was the most favored, and his mother even asked the wet nurse to take him into the palace to raise him. His older brothers were no more than three hundred households, and one hundred households, but he sealed five hundred households by himself.

My father likes my mother's generosity very much, and the Wu family is getting better and better. At the beginning of November, when we were about to go on tour, we ordered Wu Chengsi to be Zong Zhengqing and Wu Sansi to be secretary and supervisor. Although these two positions are not real power Important positions, but extremely noble, have always been granted to close people, especially the position of Zong Zhengqing, which has always been only held by the Li clan. Now it is exceptionally given to Wu Chengsi, which has caused a lot of controversy.

But now these controversies are much less than last year when my mother stood up from behind the throne.

I vaguely understood what my mother meant by letting the king of Wu enter the capital - my father is the emperor after all, if my mother wants something, she must give it up, and my father has never loved gold treasures and goods, and Danfang has been collecting for many years. It is difficult to prove it in a short period of time. The thing that can make him happy is nothing more than the love of his children besides his fame.

What's more, calling the concubine who was far away in the fiefdom to come to Beijing, and showing great love to the concubine, it can best show that she is not a jealous woman who is greedy for power and position, and will be revenged in the rumors, but a good wife and mother who is virtuous and purely public.

It's not just me, Li Rui has long regarded his mother's recall to the King of Wu as a kind of compromise. In his opinion, his father is not old-fashioned after all. Love, and supported his wife and his wife's natal family. From this point of view, Wu Wang will not be a big disaster in the end, so he happily divides the surplus friendship and brotherhood, and has frequent contacts with Wu Wang.

Because this year is different from previous years, the meeting on the winter solstice was divided into two groups. First, I went to visit my mother with the order of the wives. After the ceremony, I hurriedly changed my clothes and dragged Wei Huan and Cui Mingde to Guangming. He walked by the door to see the weather, but was stopped inside the Guangshun Gate. The guards politely refused the request to "just hide in the tower and take a look", and several people inside and outside the Guangshun Gate There are many guards of honor at the gates of the heavy palaces, and the eunuchs are not aware of their patrols, and they can't get in.

I lowered my head in frustration, and refused to leave. I just wandered around. Both Wei Huan and Cui Mingde thought it was funny. Game, when Your Majesty sees it, I still don’t know how to get angry.”

I knew the truth, but when I thought that this was a vivid scene of "all nations coming to court", I felt itchy in my heart. I tiptoed to look into the gate of the city, but I couldn't see anything except the guards of honor.Wei Huan couldn't see me like this, and forced me to walk back: "The car driver is coming soon, go, go."

I walked with her for a few steps, looking up at the head and walking, lingering, so I looked at Cui Mingde: "Cui Er, don't you want to see what it's like when Wan Bang comes to court?"

Cui Mingde glanced into the distance, and said lightly: "I remember there are several towers around here?"

My eyes lit up, and I said repeatedly: "I know it, I know every tower in the palace." After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Come with me." Then he shook Wei Huan's hand and pulled her Let's go, she struggled for a while and then let me drag her. The three of us climbed up to the nearest tower. :"What's wrong?"

Wei Huan said, "Nothing."

Cui Mingde said: "The wind is a bit strong."

I walked over and found that the wind was actually not very strong. Just as he was about to speak, Cui Mingde waved the white fan he used to cover his face, pointed to the distance and said, "Over there."

Wei Huan and I both followed the direction she pointed, and saw a large group of people lined up at the palace gate in the distance.There were so many people, even during the Great Dynasty, there were not so many people, and there were so many colors, in addition to the purple, scarlet and green of the officials, there were also all kinds of clothes worn by the barbarian chieftains according to their own colors.From a distance, these people don't look like real people, but look like small grids made up of small colors.

With sharp eyes, Cui Mingde suddenly waved his fan and said, "Is that from Goguryeo?"

Wei Huan snorted, then stepped forward, looked at it on tiptoe, and said bitterly, "It's from Goguryeo."

I asked curiously, "What happened to the Goguryeo people?"

Cui Mingde's expression changed for a rare moment, he looked at me and said, "You don't know?"

Wei Huan replied for me: "She has been weak since she was a child, and she has been raised delicately. Your Majesty is not allowed to tell her many things."

Cui Mingde closed his fan, covered half of his face, lowered his eyes and said: "In the first year of Linde, soldiers of the Holy Dynasty entered the capital of Koguryo, and saw a huge Jingguan built there."

I didn't understand what she meant, so I hurriedly went to see Wei Huan. Wei Huan coughed lightly and said, "The so-called Jingguan is a high mound made of gathering enemy corpses and sealing the soil. It is said that Liu Gong entered the capital of Goguryeo, the city Thirty miles away, there are piles of white bones on the official road, including the corpses of the Han family. From the Sui Dynasty to the present, there are no less than hundreds of thousands of them. Liu Gong buried all the bones on the spot and buried them for a whole month before they were all buried."

Cui Mingde hummed, and said: "Since then, the atmosphere in Beijing has taken Goguryeo as the worst among the barbarians. When they call people ugly, they call them 'Gaolinu'."

I was speechless, Wei Huan looked out again, and said with a smile: "It's the gifts from the barbarians, and the Silla people have donated a lot of Goguryeo people—but it's nothing that Silla has repeatedly invaded our country since the Goguryeo War." Good thing."

Cui Mingde nodded and said: "Silla is capricious, the most despicable and shameless, and now the imperial court has no choice but to deal with Tubo as bandits, in fact..." She suddenly covered her mouth, coughed, and said: "Today the sage is brave, and the queen is virtuous To be virtuous is to have the transformation of today's barbarians coming to court."

During the conversation, there were servants as guides to lead these people into the palace gate. At first I wanted to count how many chiefs there were, but after counting for a while, I became dizzy.Taichang Temple has already played drum music, which is almost the same as the music when worshiping his father. The officials and chiefs of Baiyi stopped in front of Guangshun gate amidst the solemn music, and bowed to Yongshun. The music was very clear and bright, From such a distance, even the tribute of the ceremony officer can be heard clearly.

The three of us were fascinated by it. Wei Huan and I were stuck together unconsciously. I put my hands on the wall, and she put her hands on my shoulders. Standing on tiptoe on the city tower and looking into the distance, Cui Mingde also silenced, standing against the city wall, waiting for the pilgrims to start to retreat, the three of us are still watching reluctantly, each with emotion in our hearts, but we all I don't know what to say, but Wei Huan said first: "Looking at it this way, those people really look like ants."

I looked at her suspiciously, she shook her head, and said after a while, "I'm thinking, my father seems to be there too."

Cui Mingde said indifferently: "Since it is a big dynasty, hundreds of bureaucrats will naturally come to see it."

I looked into the distance with ecstasy, the crowd had receded, and there were palace gates one after another in the distance. Beyond the palace gates, there were bustling streets and lanes. I have passed through many gates and walked through many neighborhoods. Towns and lanes, but those things in the past were just fleeting to me, but now standing here, it is like knowing this country for the first time——Da Tang, these two words have never been to me like they are today Large weight, this dynasty, like many other dynasties, lasted no more than two or three hundred years.But it was also this dynasty that rose amidst the flames of war and disasters and became one of the most powerful eras in history. Now this power has not yet reached its peak. In a few decades, maybe in my generation, maybe in my next generation In one generation, she will become the most powerful empire in the world.

Datang, this is my past country and my future country. As a member of the royal family of this country, I feel... very honored.
