When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was campaigning in all directions to expand his territory, the territory occupied by him at its peak almost exceeded that of the Yuan Dynasty. It's just that as the old saying goes, it's easy to start a business and it's hard to keep a business, the Great Sui has been in a lot of wars for years, and there is a great shortage of people, and many places are robbed after occupation, and then a few people are left as rulers, and gradually those people and the locals are integrated after intermarrying each other. The Great Sui became weaker and weaker, and many places no longer recognized themselves as the people of the Great Sui.

There is also a reason why Mu Fushu's post-seal ceremony was chosen in August. The main reason is to let some distant vassal states know that the Great Sui has the surname Yang again, and the new emperor wants to see what kind of position those people in those places put themselves.

Under the influence of San Lang and Mu Fushu's tough attitude and the slightest willingness to compromise, the opinions of the high-ranking officials of the Great Sui were forced to unify -- distant friendship and close attack.

In fact, the comprehensive strength of the Great Sui is still okay, at least in the time of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the shipbuilding industry was very developed, at least in the leading position in navigation, which is also related to the fact that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was a navy before.

The farthest vassal state from the Great Sui was Tianzhu, which was once renamed India by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

In the middle of the Sui Dynasty, India, including Nepal, was included in the territory of the Sui Dynasty, and as a vassal state, it had to pay tribute to the Great Sui every year. The most tributes were jewelry, ivory and textiles. Before Emperor Ai of Sui, India had gradually reduced its contacts with the Great Sui, and the tribute had been changed from annual tribute to once every three years for many reasons such as long distances or bad weather, and since the Wang dynasty usurped the throne, India refused to continue to pay tribute on the grounds that the name of the Wang family was not right, and never came to the Central Plains since the Great Qi moved the capital.

After Saburo ascended the throne last year, he officially sent an edict to India as the new emperor of the Great Sui, ordering them to pay tribute when the empress canonized the queen in August of the following year.

Cui Yuanqi, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also works part-time as a diplomat. Since the end of July, Chang'an City has been receiving officials and leaders from all over the country, such as the Uighurs, Nanzhao, Chenla, Bangzi and Japanese counties. There is no news from India and Nepal, but there are a few leaders from Tibet, mixed with a few monks. In Cui Yuanqi's opinion, it is a little dirty, but the etiquette is not bad.

Because Mu Fushu was worried about Yang Weiai all over August. I was busy with the "rehearsal" of the post-sealing ceremony, and I didn't know anything about the lively scene of "all nations coming to court" and "ten countries coming to court" outside.

August 15 was Mu Fushu's birthday, and a grand ceremony was held, in the afternoon experienced Yang Weiai's production, when he returned to the palace was already the time of the lamp, Mu Fushu felt that he had never been so tired.

After bathing and entering the space, Mu Fushu lay on the couch, and Saburo rubbed her slightly swollen calves and feet. He said softly, "Let's rest here for a few days before going out." ”

The space time and the outside have been stretched longer, and now it is almost one to sixty, that is, one day inside and two months outside. Mu Fushu now understands that this space will probably be upgraded, and the reason for the upgrade is related to mental power or merit. If you take the space to do good things, it will be upgraded, and the direct expression is that the time between the outside and the inside is extended, the plants in the space have a shorter maturity period, and she and Saburo may have a longer lifespan.

Saburo has also been busy lately. There are two major events in August: the post-closure ceremony and the national examination. Even if there are a few capable subordinates, there are many advanced ideas and plans that can be applied. But after all, it is necessary to combine the current form and social dynamics, and some reforms cannot be changed casually, and there must always be a process of acceptance.

Saburo and Mu Fushu made a lot of plans. For example, the scientific expedition is a ten-year plan: in ten years, academies will be opened across the country to encourage children to go to school, both boys and girls have the right to go to school, these academies will be divided into primary and secondary schools, and there is currently only one university, which is in Chang'an. Those who can be admitted to the university will be the best in the country, and after graduation, they will naturally be assigned jobs by the imperial court, that is, "civil servants".

And those boys are no longer blindly studying. After entering secondary school, they will study according to their academic performance, habits and hobbies, such as engineering, science, and agriculture. Let those who have no hope of going to college also have a skill.

And within ten years, the scientific expedition will continue. However, these students will also enter the College and will be supervised by Mr. College. If you invite your husband to study at home, you will basically not have any hope of passing the scientific examination, because the future scientific examination will be mainly taught by the academy, and you will basically not pass the school behind closed doors.

After resting in the space for a few days, San Lang picked a lot of rare fruits, moved in and out a few times, and didn't leave the space until Mu Fu felt energetic.

In the early morning of August 16 of the first year of Shengkang, Chang'an City was lit up, the main roads were splashed with water and clean streets, and the Hanyuan Hall where the Daming Palace held the post-sealing ceremony was all covered with red carpets, and even the original golden dragon pillar was also wrapped with red cloth, and it was full of joy.

Mu Fushu got up early in the morning to dress up. Because the upper circumference of the pregnancy has increased a lot, plus the waist circumference of six months, the dress that Yang Weiai prepared for her can not be worn at all, and in the past few months, the palace garment bureau from the Shang Palace to the embroidery lady has been busy making new clothes for her, and finally three days ago a beautiful embroidery queen dress was made.

This dress was jointly designed and made by Mu Fushu and Yang Weiai, and it has jumped out of the category of traditional queen dresses. Instead of using the traditional black and red, Mu Fushu used extensive embroidery and folds, as well as lace (removed from clothes in the warehouse) that was not available in this era. The whole gown is brilliant and delicate.

The clothes of this era are actually not waisted except for the chest exposure, and the belt is tied under the chest. Although there is a skirt with a waist, the short undergarment on it is covered, and the waist and abdomen are still not visible, and they are all straight.

Mu Fushu's dress is high-waisted, it is still very hot in August, the back of the collar is made into a cheongsam collar, but the front is a wide open lotus leaf collar, the shoulders and chest are surrounded by lace flowers, the chest is naturally sagging, and a lot of folds are made between the waist and abdomen, and they are close together until the lower abdomen, until the feet are scattered to make a fishtail, and the back is also dragged two meters and eight long, which is an imitation of a modern wedding dress.

The dress as a whole is red, but it is embroidered with gold thread on the body of the dragon and phoenix auspicious picture, the dragon and phoenix are entrenched in the back of the chest, the eyes of the dragon and phoenix are made of large black pearls, and the dragon scales and feathers on the body are made of gemstone diamonds and peacock feathers.

In order to cover the stomach, the dress also had a tulle coat on the outside, and the wide sleeves were almost polar. It is also inlaid with broken diamonds, and the stars twinkle when walking, which blinds people's eyes.

Mu Fushu yesterday and Xu. You can comb your hair in a bun. Her hair was thick and dense, so naturally she didn't need a wig to put it under. And she is pregnant now, and she can't wear a heavy jewelry, so she chose a solemn Lingyun bun, wearing a gold inlaid diamond head in the middle, and a century-old hairpin on both sides, and a lot of small ruby flower hairpins on the side.

Mu Fushu did not put a flower on his forehead, but used a gold chain to string a pear-shaped ruby forehead ornament to fix it on his forehead.

I applied some base cream and powdered it. Mu Fushu traced his eyebrows slightly, focusing on the eyes. Today, I used red and gold eyeshadows, and I also applied some gold powder to the corners of my eyes, and I also applied some gold powder balm to my bare breasts.

The earrings and necklace bracelets are matching, but the wedding ring is worn on the ring finger of the left hand, and San Lang is naturally also worn.

The auspicious time is three quarters of the hour. The people who participated in the ceremony since the hour have arrived at the Hanyuan Hall one after another to wait, and the palace people arrange the seats according to the identity and status of the guests, and there is a special person to serve fruit refreshments after sitting down.

Japan County and Bangzi County have been subordinated to the Great Sui for more than 200 years. Neither side was completely assimilated by the other, but melted into each other. For example, the languages are mixed, and Korean, Japanese, and the Great Sui Yayan are all lingua franca. However, eating is a local custom, and Japanese prefectures are dominated by seafood, and Bangzi Prefecture is similar. The customs and habits are according to the Great Sui, and some festivals in the Great Sui are held in both counties, and weddings and funerals are also in accordance with the rules of the Great Sui.

This time, it was the city lords of the two counties who came to Dasui to participate in the post-sealing ceremony.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty mischievously named Korea and Japan as counties, but in fact, they are still larger than counties, at least about the same as state capitals. The original city lords of these two places were all considered to be the royal family of the Yang family, and they were all hereditary, like the fiefdom of the prince. It has been passed down for more than ten generations now.

The city lord of Bangzi County is called Yang Xiao, and the city lord of Japan County is called Yang Yunhao.

This time, they all came to participate in the post-closure ceremony in person. Rather than casually sending someone to be perfunctory. After all, fifteen years ago, the Wang clan rebelled, and the Great Sui became Great Qi. After the Wang family took power, they were very worried, afraid that one day Wang Yin thought of the two counties and sent someone surnamed Wang to take over their territory, and then they would fight or war?

Although they have stopped paying tribute for so many years, at least the Great Sui can be justified in them! So this time they all came in a hurry, and brought some congratulatory gifts, of course, these congratulatory gifts are definitely not comparable to the value of the annual tribute.

Most of the other people who came to participate in the ceremony after the closure brought congratulatory gifts, just like the county lords of these two counties, but they were only congratulatory gifts, and the value was not as good as the tribute gifts in previous years.

Because everyone is staying in the state guesthouse, the departure time is about the same, and the arrival time is naturally about the same. After taking their seats, the people, who had known each other for a few days, greeted each other and sat down to wait.

At this time, a group of palace maids who did not say that they had big shoulders and round waists, and were definitely not small jasper, served refreshments.

The teapots and cups are all blue and white porcelain, and the teabowls have no lids but handles. Today's bubble is the best Tieguanyin, and it is fragrant when it comes up.

The same blue and white porcelain is a large plate of cut fruits, except for a few grapes, apples, oranges, etc., there are many that I don't know. For example, dragon fruit, mangosteen, Shakya, etc.,

In another tall blue and white porcelain plate is pastries, including crystal jelly made into a heart-shaped shape, yellow sandwich milk cake, turquoise red bean paste vanilla dumplings, and purple purple sweet potato custard cake.

The palace maid served refreshments and stood quietly behind the seat, lowering her eyebrows and breathing.

The guests were also frightened by these delicate refreshments and fruits, and they were silent for a while. (To be continued)
