The Great Tang Empire has almost disengaged from this war. At the court banquet, the new nobility of the Great Tang Empire gathered together, drinking fine wine rarely seen in ordinary times, discussing which projects to invest in for greater profits.
Amidst the clinking of glasses and laughter, many multimillion-dollar projects were settled, and yet such enormous funds were barely enough to prompt a few words of discussion in this setting.
Opportunities for feasting and entertainment in the Forbidden City were rare, especially when attending the banquet this time, besides His Majesty the Emperor, were several of his princes.
The First Prince, Tang Yu, is now in elementary school. He attends the Imperial nobility school in Chang'an, where he has met many classmates.
