Daming Palace, located on Longshou Plain, is the main palace of the Tang Dynasty.
Formerly known as Yong'an Palace, it is adjacent to the Royal Forbidden Garden and the Weishui River to the north, to the north of Chang'an City to the south, and to the northeast corner of the palace city to the west.
In the name of serving the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, Li Er rebuilt Yong'an Palace and renamed it Daming Palace.
The entire palace can be divided into two parts: the front dynasty and the inner court. The front dynasty is mainly for court meetings, and the inner court is mainly for residence and banquets.
The inauguration ceremony was arranged by Li Er in the Hanyuan Hall, which was the center of the former dynasty.
Only this place is big enough to accommodate thousands of civil and military nobles, envoys from various countries, and tribal leaders.
Li Er did not hesitate to borrow money for consumption and spent huge sums of money to ask Li Yunze to rebuild the palace. In addition to enjoying it for himself, his other purpose was to show the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, Xiao He said, "My husband, the emperor, has his home all over the world. He cannot be majestic unless he is magnificent." '
The shocking effects and influence brought by super-large projects are still very useful in this era.
At least at this time, the waists of many envoys from various countries and tribal leaders in Hanyuan Hall were obviously more bent.
Envoys from Goguryeo and Japan also came, and they came to plead guilty.
Goguryeo was better, having the confidence to defeat the Sui army three times, and still firmly stated that it had never participated in any adverse actions against the Emperor and nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, soft words have to be said. After all, they are also afraid of being targeted and beaten by Datang.
As for the Japanese envoys, they were really sad and could only plead.
Ever since the Tang Dynasty's naval fleet arrived in Japan and wiped out its so-called navy, which were essentially fishing boats, Japan's entire country had become paralyzed.
He couldn't be beaten. In addition to being unable to fight at sea, he also fought against the Tang army who landed on land several times. Every time, he was beaten and couldn't take care of himself.
After all, in the Japanese country of this era, samurai had not yet appeared. Their predecessors were just the heads of the farm.
Except for the number of people, in all other aspects, the Japanese army was far inferior to the Tang army.
Especially the strong armor and stomach worn by the Tang army. The Japanese swords slashed forward and gained nothing except sparks.
However, Tang Jun came over with a horizontal sword. No matter what kind of armor you were wearing, whether it was made of iron or bamboo, it would be cut directly.
Moreover, the Japanese were short in stature, so they even had to jump up to attack the tall Tang people.
In this situation, it looks like an adult bullying a child.
Faced with a real threat, the Japanese quickly relented and sent envoys to beg the Tang Emperor for mercy.
As for the envoys from Tuyuhun and Gaochang who were still there at last year's banquet, there is no trace today. After all, the Khan from Tuyuhun is preparing a dance show, and the king from Gaochang has also been caught. It is estimated that he will appear on the stage next year. .
All the envoys were in awe of the Tang Dynasty because the Tang Dynasty was so powerful.
This palace is so magnificent, so towering and majestic that it really makes many country bumpkins from the Western Regions and grasslands bow their heads and worship it.
Even though it is night, the interior of Hanyuan Hall is still extremely bright.
Thousands of kerosene lamps, combined with a reasonable arrangement and a large number of reflectors, illuminate the entire hall with light.
The ground is all covered with oiled wooden floors, which are so smooth and bright that they can reflect shadows.
As for the dishes and drinks on the table in front of them, it made the envoys from various countries shed tears.
Expensive wine is like drinking as much as you want for free.
In addition, there is sugar wine brewed from cane sugar, and selling a bottle to foreign businessmen costs a lot of money!
The people of Tang Dynasty are very down-to-earth, and their exquisite dishes are not only meat. Moreover, most of them are fried in iron pots and served with countless seasonings, which made many envoys who had only eaten boiled and grilled food burst into tears.
When today's main course was served, a plate of roasted whole lamb was served on every table. The whole roasted lamb was covered with thick spices, which made the envoys burst into tears.
Their kings, their elders, their leaders and nobles cannot eat such good food!
What is the crushing advantage brought by productivity? This is it.
The large-scale popularization of feeds such as alfalfa and soybean oil caused Datang's meat supply to increase rapidly.
I go to the Spice Islands every year, and the spices that were once worth gold are directly priced at the price of cabbage...weird.
As for various novel seasonings such as chili peppers, they are only available in the Tang Dynasty.
Wine and sugar wine benefit from large-scale planting of vineyards and sugar cane fields.
As supplies become more abundant, the quality of life will naturally improve.
And this high-quality life, in this era of poor material resources, has naturally become an unsurpassable mountain in the eyes of others.
You must know that the Angsa bandits of this era still lived in livestock sheds and were savages.
As for the black man who has been chased by countless women in later generations, he is still eating his hair and drinking his blood.
Everything about Datang made these people extremely envious.
An indispensable repertoire at the dinner is "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation" which is said to have been composed by Li Er himself.
It’s still a familiar rhythm, and it’s still a familiar line.
When a group of actors wearing paper armor assumed familiar poses, all the civil and military dignitaries in the Hanyuan Hall, as well as the royal family and famous officials, stood up one after another and shouted in unison, "Accept the law and resign the head of state, and the prime minister will punish the traitor! Xian Ge "Breaking Formation Music", enjoy the Taiping people together!
"
The crowd shouted loudly and vigorously, as if not doing so was not enough to show their excitement and respect for the great Emperor.
Li Yunze, who was sitting safely, couldn't help but grin when he saw the scene in front of him that was comparable to a drama.
The people of the Tang Dynasty were honest, and when they patted the dragon's fart, they did it openly and loudly in front of Li Er.
Of course, after doing this kind of thing a lot, the guys can actually be surprisingly consistent when shouting slogans. Even the tone of voice is almost the same, as if they have been rehearsed.
Precisely because the shouts were neat and orderly, they became even more imposing in this hall designed with a sound amplification system.
Looking at the nobles from the tribes and envoys from various countries, they were obviously overwhelmed by this atmosphere and momentum.
In their view, the Tang Dynasty was united and its monarchs and ministers were united, which was a real sign of a prosperous and powerful country.
The emotions of the envoys were very complicated. The Tang Dynasty was getting stronger and stronger, even to the point of despair.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Er squinted his eyes, stroking his beard and smiling.
He was obviously very satisfied with the scene in front of him.
Next comes the gift-giving part.
Li Er's new home was completed, and everyone sent some gifts as congratulations, just to get some luck.
At this time, even the stupidest Sha Tuo would not really give him any valuable treasure. Because that is not giving a gift to the emperor, but slapping the emperor in the face in front of everyone.
Most of the famous civil servants sent some of their own calligraphy and paintings.
Most of the honorable generals are given wine.
The royal relatives and relatives are all small objects with beautiful meanings to congratulate the completion of the new house.
After all, it is still the same sentence, this time is to seek a happy luck.
When the noise gradually subsided, Li Er's eyes fell on Li Yunze, "I heard that you have prepared a special gift?"
"yes."
Li Yunze simply stood up and clapped his hands, "The band is coming on."
A group of young people, carrying many different musical instruments, lined up into the hall.
The leader is Wu Meiniang, who is wearing a palace dress and is as dazzling as a phoenix.
Everyone in Hanyuan Hall will naturally have beautiful girls around them.
But the girls around them are basically obedient people who don't dare to kneel down when asked to do so.
It is extremely rare for people like Wu Meiniang to be full of confidence and look so outstanding.
Behind her was a band of disciples composed of Li Chengqian and others, all composed of the noble sons of the prince who were under Li Yunze's sect.
Except for Wu Meiniang, it was difficult for Li Yunze to have the patience to teach his disciples with peace of mind, so he basically provided the materials and techniques, and then left them to Wu Meiniang to take charge of after making arrangements.
"Your Majesty." Li Yunze walked to the heavy chimes. "To celebrate the completion of the Daming Palace, I specially composed a piece of music originally written by me to celebrate."
Li Er smiled and nodded, "What's your name?"
""Memory of Daming Palace"."
This movement originally used too many modern instruments. If we expect Li Chengqian, Yu Chi Baolin and others to be able to learn it, it would be better to just use a set of instruments.
So in the modern world, Li Yunze spent a lot of money to hire professional musicians... truly talented musicians, not the kind who dare to call themselves music directors just by printing a business card for themselves.
These talented musicians rearranged the movement and performed it using a variety of classical instruments.
Guqin, flute, chime, pipa, reed, konghou, Xiao, erhu and many more.
For this, Li Chengqian and the others have been practicing for more than half a year.
Everyone gathered in front of a strange black stick with their own musical instruments.
As the low percussion begins to play the tune, various instruments take turns to change the rhythm.
During the prelude, everyone in Hanyuan Hall could still nod and feel the music.
But as the song reached its peak, the soul-stirring notes were spread throughout the Hanyuan Hall with the help of the amplification system. It really made people's scalp numb and gave them goosebumps.
Compared with the previous bustling music of King Qin's Breaking Formation, the memory of Daming Palace has a resonance that resonates deeply into the soul.
The soul-stirring notes at the peak stage even made Li Er stand up involuntarily.
Thousands of years apart, cultural differences make those innocent moans of 'you love me, I love him, he loves you' or 'oh, oh, yeah, yeah', something that would have been severely beaten in the Tang Dynasty.
If you want to rely on pop music to become a master and get favored by beauties, that is really stupid.
The only thing that is likely to resonate is pure music.
It has to be the kind that can really shock people's hearts, and the object of appreciation must have certain cultural attainments.
The song ended, and the lingering sound lingered on the beams of Hanyuan Hall through the loudspeaker system.
Li Er, who is highly educated and has a strong appreciation for music, stood with his eyes closed and his hands behind his back and sighed softly.
"good!"
