It took more than half a month from Shanhaiguan to Heyao, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
It's not because of the slow pace, but because the Tang Dynasty deliberately let Hezhen and others know how powerful the Tang Dynasty is.
Military, economic, even human.
Each of them made him feel powerless.
"Your Majesty, it seems that it is not good for the envoys of the Qing Dynasty to be so close to the core of our policy."
In the imperial study, Zhang Juzheng said with some worry.
Li Xian naturally inspired the local officials in the Tang Dynasty to do so.
Although this move can show the strength of the Tang Dynasty, it may also be infiltrated by the other party, which is why the ministers do not want to do so.
"You'd better ask fengxiao about this."
Li Xian smiles and throws the topic to Guo Jia.
Hearing this, they couldn't help looking at Guo Jia, showing a sudden realization.
If it's Guo Jia's idea, there may be something else in the matter. Guo Jia seldom cares about something, but when he cares about something and someone, the result is often unexpected.
"Your doubts are clear to fengxiao. However, what they can see is not necessarily true. Even if they are shown the truth, they may not believe it. Even if they believe it is true, even if they see it, it is only the truth we let them see."
Guo Jia's words were slightly stunned by the audience. It sounds simple, but it contains a huge amount of information.
As Guo Jia said, He Lin and his party did not know whether what they saw was true or not, even they did not know.
"Well, I'm free to arrange this. Zhang Juzheng, how are you going to prepare for the Queen's birthday?"
Li Xian stopped the topic and asked.
"Tell your majesty that everything is ready for the birthday, but the number of people celebrating this birthday is more than we expected. Many issues such as city defense are still under discussion."
Zhang Juzheng replied.
"Oh, what do you mean more than you think?"
Li Xian was slightly stunned.
In fact, no matter he or Wang Ling, or even all the women in the palace, they didn't care much about the birthday. It's not that they didn't want to ask for anything, but they just thought that it would be better not to do such things.
If this is not the birthday celebration of the Qing Dynasty, it may be just a simple form. For many years, they have never bothered about it.
Therefore, Li Xian doesn't know much about how to arrange this birthday. In his opinion, the most important thing is that the courtiers come, and he is not an outsider.
"Your Majesty doesn't know. The Queen's birthday is celebrated by all the people. Recently, many people have gathered near the Imperial City, and even some people have jointly petitioned in the hope of celebrating the Queen's birthday and seeing her majesty. In addition, many clans have sent people to bring gifts and have visited the Ministry of rites. There are also some businessmen from other forces, clans. In short, the situation is quite complicated. The former and later ministers probably sorted out several plans, but many matters have not been settled yet, so they did not show them to your majesty and the queen. "
Zhang Juzheng said it in general, and Li Xian felt numb.
"I don't think it's necessary to be so troublesome. Let's have a banquet in the palace."
Li Xian said.
"No, your majesty. Your majesty and empress, diligent and thrifty officials know, and the people also know that it's not easy to have such an opportunity. If your majesty ignores it, I'm afraid it will hurt the people's heart. "
"Yes, your majesty. Although there are some people who are mixed up, most of them sincerely congratulate your majesty and the empress. The broken blade can't be dealt with simply."
"Your Majesty, we must do a good job in handling the birthday. We can also make the people understand what your majesty thinks and think, so that they can get close to each other. Isn't that what your majesty has always said is people-oriented?"
"Yes, your majesty, this birthday is not a small one. If we don't do it well, we will certainly be looked down upon. Although it is almost certain that there will be an accident, we in the Tang Dynasty can't be weak enough."
For a moment, the ministers talked about their opinions.
To sum up, this birthday is not only to be held, but also to be held in a big way.
"OK, take a look at your plan."
Li Xian really didn't expect that this thing would be so big. He stopped the crowd and said.
"This is the process drafted by the minister, and there are still some imperfections. Please give us your advice."
With that, Zhang Juzheng took out the memorial and presented it.
"You're not kidding!" Li Xian wrote fan's Memorial, which made his face look ugly. The memorial had more than ten pages inside and outside.
"Your Majesty, these are the general matters. What you and the queen will do is in the following pages."
Zhang Juzheng followed Li Xian for a long time. Naturally, he knew that the master was afraid of trouble and said quickly.Hearing this, Li Xian directly turned to the last few pages.
"So many processes, too detailed."
Li Xian looked at it and said that there was a lot of content on the last few pages.
Zhang Juzheng was very careful. He almost didn't arrange and explain everything. After all, he probably didn't have a spare time from morning till night.
"Your Majesty, this is just a draft. We have to coordinate with all parties on specific matters. There are only dozens of things that need your majesty and the queen."
Zhang Juzheng said.
"What is it?"
On hearing this, Li Xian was instantly depressed.
It never occurred to him that it would be so troublesome to have a birthday.
"Yes, your majesty, you need to..."
With that, Zhang Juzheng was about to start talking about the process in detail, and Li Xian stopped immediately.
"Well, how can you do it? You should take charge of the coordination. The Xuanwu army can't move the city defense. In this way, Zhou Yu will help him and Kong Ming will help fengxiao deal with the affairs of the envoys. Xu Shu, you are responsible for investigating the details of the Heshou people in the process. The royal guards will cooperate with you. Bao Zheng, you put the things at hand to deal with the public security outside the imperial city. There are so many people in Heshou, it's hard to guarantee that they won't disturb the people. This matter is also up to you. Wang Anshi, you... "
"Your Majesty, are you still revising the law?"
"It's none of your business, that, that..."
Li Xian thought for a long time, looking at the several ministers he relied on in front of him, he was very depressed.
What's the situation? How can I spend my birthday? No one can use it.
These important ministers around us all have things to do, and they are inseparable from each other.
"All right, you go down!"
"I'll leave you!"
Looking at Li Xian's depressed appearance, the ministers tried to leave one by one with a smile.
"I didn't expect that the first time I had no one to use it was to celebrate your birthday. How would you punish you?"
When the man left, Li Xian pulled Wang Ling from behind. The latter exclaimed, "it's all up to your majesty." ..
