Chapter 18 Chinese New Year Ambassadors

Pei Min looked at the Siming mad guest He Zhizhang looking at Li Bai's excited expression, and knew that history had once again turned back to some trajectory.

It is because of the Yuefu poem "The Road to Shu is Difficult", He Zhizhang in history excitedly called Li Bai the exiled immortal, believing that only gods can write such poems.

Pei Min could not have imagined that after this major historical change, the title of exiled immortal fell on Li Bai again, but this time it was not "The Road to Shu" but an equally qualified article "Ask the Moon".

After thinking about it carefully, Pei Min felt it was natural that except for Li Bai, no one in the world could be regarded as the title of "exiled immortal".

At the invitation of He Zhizhang, the two entered the He Mansion.

He Zhizhang, Pei Min, and Li Bai are all talkative people. After drinking a few cups of yellow soup, it is a set of slap in the world.

Whatever you think of, or talk about the past and the present, or talk about the future in detail, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it is impossible to talk about it.

Even when talking about the poem, Pei Min was not afraid of it.

He himself has no poetic talent, and he is a liberal arts student. He has famous quotes and quotes that have been hidden for thousands of years. His appreciation of ancient poetry is not inferior to He Zhizhang and Li Bai, the two great poets, who can also talk big and not lose their advantage.

When Li Bai was so excited that he was excited about his drinking, he wrote a passionate poem to serve the country.

When talking about the future of the Tang Dynasty, this future poet immortal looked proud and said, "Now there are wise kings, wise ministers, and great generals in the court, and the prosperous era is reappearing. This time, all nations come to congratulate him is a precursor. The grand scene of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong's reign is just around the corner." He is not stingy in praise of the motherland and optimistic about the prospects of the Tang Dynasty. He is unruly and despised by his feelings of etiquette and law, and is full of patriotic enthusiasm.

He Zhizhang said: "This is true for the exiled immortal. Now the situation in the Tang Dynasty is very good. In this situation, Brother Min is a must-have, and he must respect Brother Min three cups."

Li Bai also raised his wine glass without hesitation.

In the past, Yao Chong could compete with Pei Min, but with Yao Chong's resignation, his achievements stagnated. Pei Min made three great achievements in fighting disasters, establishing Liuhuzhou, and opening Longshan to build Wushaoling. His achievements in writing have surpassed Yao Chong and becoming the number one person in the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

This is also something that is well known.

Pei Min responded seriously: "In fact, there are many talented people who are not me alone, but I am lucky, and have received the support of many noble people and the help of talented people. Your Majesty, Taigong, the two Guogongs, and Feng Changqing, Jiang Yue, Li Yide, Li Siye, Sun Zhou, Zhang Jiuling, and Yuan Luqian, these talented people, without them, and without me today... I will take them here and drink them together!"

Everyone praised him as the Qingtian Jade Pillar of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Tang Dynasty. But he himself knew that today's achievements were inseparable from the support of many people, and he did not dare or did not want to claim his merit alone.

He Zhizhang raised his finger and praised: "My brother Min is not arrogant in his contributions, and he has the style of a general of a big tree... The Ministry of Rites has encountered a difficult task recently and has never known how to make a decision.My brother is far more capable than his brother, so please give me some advice."

Pei Min smiled and said, "Old brother, but it's okay."

He Zhizhang said solemnly: "This matter is related to this year's New Year celebration. In the past, our dynasty's New Year celebration was mainly solemn. It traces back to the Zhou rituals, worshiping heaven and ancestors, in order to seek peace and prosperity of the country. This year is different. Many envoys from other races participated together. Your Majesty hopes to show the power of our Tang Dynasty so that other countries can feel the strength of our Tang Dynasty. Especially the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, now the undercurrents in the Western Regions are surging, and the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu are not in chaos, and the Western Regions cannot be in chaos. Once there is a problem with the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, the Western Regions will be unstable. To be honest, the solemnity of worshiping heaven and ancestors. Only our own people can understand its significance. Others do not know the rules and cumbersome rituals passed down by my ancestors and the cumbersome rituals will only make them bored and disgusted."

"Hey!" Pei Min said empathetically: "It's not just them, I can't stand it myself. Mr. Guo was so tired that he was so tired that he was so tired that he really wanted them to participate in the whole process, without any change, I'm afraid it won't work."

He Zhizhang said in contempt: "This is also in our concerns, but we just don't know where to start."

Pei Min pondered for a moment and said, "Using the military formation to boost momentum, cheering with artillery fire, and using fireworks to cheer for fun at banquets. It is inappropriate to delete the rituals of ancestors. We can add an opening ceremony while retaining the ceremony..."

Opening ceremony?

gunfire?

Fireworks?

All kinds of fresh words made He Zhizhang look confused.

Pei Min had a great idea and thoughts. China has been a country that valued face throughout history. In his era, almost no country had a better, better, and more luxurious opening ceremony than China.

There are countless examples to refer to, and various ritual processes flashed in his mind one by one.

Although the current technology cannot be as gorgeous as later generations, fireworks and artillery fire were developed by Li Chiying based on gunpowder. It is the first time since ancient times that it has appeared in the public's sight. How can a group of local buns control it?

"Brother Min, brother is really lonely and ignorant. I wonder what you said?" He Zhizhang felt a little sad.

Li Bai also said: "Fireworks, what the master said was the shining thing last night?"

Although he lives in Pei Mansion, it is prohibited to enter and exit the inner courtyard of Pei Mansion at will.

However, the brilliant effect of fireworks has long been spread throughout the Pei Mansion through the maids in the mansion, and Li Bai also heard about it.

Pei Min explained: "Black fire and fireworks are products derived from black gunpowder. They are much less powerful, but they are more than enough to have a strong momentum."

As he said that, he said his thoughts one by one, and there were all kinds of activities, every detail.

He Zhizhang nodded and finally cried out, saying, "In this way, from the beginning of the military formation, to the sound of salutes and drums behind it, to the end of the banquet, the fireworks were all set off in the middle of the night, and the wonderful discussion was much better than the preparations of our Ministry of Rites! My talent is shocking. How can you stump you in this world? Let me do this, my brother, write down your ideas and hand them over to my brother, and report them to the Minister of Shangshu. Then he will discuss with Your Majesty to see if there is a major change. If you obtain your Majesty's consent, I hope that my Majesty will help you. Of course, if Your Majesty gives this matter to me, it will be even better."

"Okay!" Pei Min also knew the importance of this face-saving project. If the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu were too moved, the Western Regions would be unstable, and the shocking of those who had already surrendered to the enemy, and those who were sincerely willing to occupy the same front as the Tang Dynasty, the best strategy was to take action.

To get paper and pen, Pei Min sorted out all the thoughts and thoughts in his heart and handed them over to He Zhizhang.
