In the Tang Dynasty, the early dynasty was held once a day, called Chang Shen, according to the system, "Fan Jingsi civil and military ministry nine products have been on the top, every Shuo, look at the court ginseng; The five products have been enshrined in the official, the member of the foreign lang, the superintendent of the imperial history, the doctor of Taichang, and the daily pilgrimage". Generally, there is no need to put up a guard of honor, and there is no big pomp, it is a real administrative day. The participants are called permanent staff officers, the number is small but the rank is high, and they are all important people in the ministry of five grades or above.

In addition to the daily regular ginseng, there is also the synodic pilgrimage, that is, the first and fifteenth days of the month. On the day of the palace, there is a black wall, a kicking seat, a smoker, an incense case, according to the moment to display the guard of honor, under the leadership of the supervision of the imperial history, the group of officials according to the grade in the palace in place, the emperor began to come out of the throne, the group of officials in the ceremony to sing praises and bow again.

The most solemn is the Yuan Day and the Winter Solstice held on the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, there needs to be a "big furnishing", the exhibition palace is hung and drummed, Chen Che is in the middle of the day, and then the emperor "serves the crown (winter solstice clothes through the sky crown and silk robe), the imperial public opinion is out, the canopy is straight, and the guards are as usual", and accept the courtiers and guests to visit the court.

What Li Zexuan wants to participate in today is not called the Great Dynasty Meeting in the strict sense, but called the Shuowang Dynasty Meeting, because today is not the Yuan Day, nor is it the winter solstice, and today is exactly October 15.

Entering the imperial city, I saw that the stairs of the Taiji Palace were already crowded, and the officials wearing various colors of court clothes were whispering in groups, talking and laughing, looking kind. But it's hard to say if it's a knife hidden in a smile.

In addition to the courtiers from all walks of life that he had often seen before, Li Zexuan also saw a group of unexpected people today, a group of brown-skinned people. Isn't this the envoy from Southeast Asian countries who came back with Li Xiaogong last time~?

"Hey! You're finally here, kid? This is full of up and down, I guess you don't like the court the most! ”

Just as Li Zexuan was stunned, Li Xiaogong came from the side, pointed at Li Zexuan and said with a smile.

"Uh, Lord Wang!"

Li Zexuan came back to his senses and said embarrassedly: "What are you talking about, the kid has always been very willing to participate in the early dynasty, but the academy is usually too busy!" ”

"Hey, you kid!"

Li Xiaogong smiled and said, "This king doesn't know you yet? Before you say this, you kid wipe the eye droppings off the corners of your eyes before you say that! ”

When Li Zexuan heard this, he subconsciously rubbed the corners of his eyes, and the result was ......

"Hey! Lord Wang, you also have eye droppings in the corners of your eyes! ”

Li Zexuan pointed to Li Xiaogong's face and exclaimed in a matter-of-fact manner.

He really didn't expect that he, a traverser, would be tricked by Li Xiaogong, an ancient person.

Li Xiaogong was not fooled at all, he laughed and said, "Haha! Interesting! You're so funny! Okay, I'm not kidding you, I heard that you broke through again the day before yesterday, not bad, but the future is terrifying! Now your kid's force is a veteran who is catching up with our generation! I guess this king is not your opponent now! ”

Li Zexuan said with a smile: "The prince has experienced a hundred battles, and the kid is not your opponent!" ”

"Huh!"

Li Xiaogong smiled, undeniable.

"Lord Wang, today's court meeting should be mainly for the envoys of these countries, right?"

Li Zexuan glanced at the "Southeast Asian Envoy Group" in front of him and asked Li Xiaogong.

"Well, it should be! Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it is rare to see envoys from so many countries enter the Hajj, and it stands to reason that today's court meeting is mainly to see these envoys pay tribute! ”

Li Xiaogong stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

"Oh, that's good!"

Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, as long as he wasn't specifically looking for him.

"The hour has come~! Hundreds of civil and military officials enter the Hajj to see ~! ”

While the two were talking, a little eunuch walked out of the Taiji Palace and shouted at a sharp voice.

The ministers immediately quieted down, stood in line, lowered their heads, walked up the stairs, and entered the Taiji Hall. After the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, the court meeting finally officially began.

"Your Majesty, this time the fleet went south, not only brought back rich materials for the imperial court, but also brought back the friendship of the Nanyang countries to my Datang! These envoys have brought all kinds of gifts to His Majesty, and they hope to present them to His Majesty today to continue the friendship between their country and the Tang Dynasty! ”

Cui Shanfu, the old guy, has been in the court for so many years, and finally became a "bird" and was the first to speak at the court.

Li Er listened, Long Yan Dayue, "Haha! Good! The envoys have come all the way to Datang, not to mention the tiredness of running all the way, but also brought gifts to me, I am very relieved! Cui Aiqing, you do a good job of filing, and when the time comes, you will return the gift one by one! ”

Cui Shanfu bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Naturally, there is a "translator" provided by Hongxu Temple next to it, which translates Li Er's original words into various Chinese languages.

An envoy stepped forward to touch his chest with one hand, and said excitedly (translated words): "The envoy of the Zhenla Kingdom has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" On behalf of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the lord of our country presented 20 pairs of the best ivory, two leopards, four pieces of the best jade, and 10 catties of top spices to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty......... I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty a healthy dragon body and a long life! ”

Li Er was proud in his heart, and said with a faint smile on his face: "The friendship of the lord of the Zhenla country, I have received it in my heart!" Servant tooth protrusion, how are you doing in Chang'an City these days? ”

After listening to the translation, the envoy of the Zhenla Kingdom immediately stepped forward with a smile and replied: "Back to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the servant Yatu has been living very well in Chang'an these days!" The prosperity and vastness of Chang'an City are something that the Servant Yatu has never seen before! The capitals of the ten kingdoms of Zhenla can't reach it! He hopes that the Tang Kingdom can maintain friendly relations with the Zhenla Kingdom! ”

In this era, as the largest city in the world, no one can resist the charm of Chang'an City!

Li Er said with a smile: "As long as the country has good intentions towards the Tang Dynasty, I will have friendly relations with it!" You can rest assured! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

The servant smiled abruptly and stepped back in amusement.

The second envoy stepped forward, bowed humbly, and said, "The envoy of the Funan Kingdom greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Ten pairs of the best white jade were presented to His Majesty, fifty pieces of good tiger skins, and two milk tigers......... I wish Your Majesty good health and good health! ”

"Bai Wayu, the envoy of the Bi Kingdom, pays a visit to His Majesty ,............... Tang Dynasty"

In this way, the thirty-two envoys of the small Nanyang countries who came back with Li Xiaogong this time stepped forward one by one to pay tribute to Li Erji, each gift list was very long, mainly because they had been shocked by the huge fleet of the Tang Dynasty when they came, and after coming to Chang'an City, they were conquered by the prosperity of Chang'an City, and in the face of such a powerful country, they had completely surrendered! Cui Shanfu, who was hard-working, remembered that he was sweating profusely when he remembered the gift list next to him.

The ministers of the court are standing next to them, one by one they are in their hearts and have honor, all countries are coming to the court, this is a sign of the coming of prosperity!

Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was even more joyful in his heart, and gave birth to a great pride, when he cleaned up the Turks, he must have ushered in the real Wanbang Dynasty!
