After hundreds of Yulin troops rushed out of the Mingde Gate, they immediately dispersed the people who were waiting outside the city to enter the city, and arranged honor guards along both sides of the road, assuming a posture to welcome the distinguished guests.

Li An glanced at Zhang Guangsheng and asked the team to avoid it immediately, waiting dozens of steps away from the east side of the road, while Li An and the others stood on foot more than ten steps on the east side of the road, looking at everything in front of them curiously.

"Big brother, what are these Yulin soldiers going to do with such a big battle?"

"Big brother, this won't be to welcome us into the city!"

Kunxiong and Fei Yu joked, they knew that it was impossible, and with their humble status, no one would come to greet them.

Gao Fu looked at the Yulin Army standing in two rows, and said sideways: "Li Shaolang, I think this Mingde Gate will not let people pass for a while, why don't we go to the Qixia Gate to the east!" ”

Li An was not in a hurry to enter the city, and waved his hand: "Fu Bo, we are not in a hurry to enter the city, we want to take a look first, I don't know who this is to welcome?" ”

Gao Fu saw that Li An was not in a hurry, nor was he impatient, nor did he force it, and said softly: "Li Shaolang, wait a minute, wait for me to ask." After speaking, he walked towards a general of the Yulin Army.

Li An could see clearly that the general of the Yulin Army was quite respectful to Li Fu, and it could be seen from their expressions that they had known each other for a long time.

"Li Shaolang, the queen of the Eastern Woman Kingdom is coming, it is estimated that there will be half an hour to arrive, the Yulin Army will prepare first, and then Li Xiangguo and all the ministers of the court will come over, it is safer for us to go to Qixiamen to advance to the city."

When Li An heard this, he immediately became interested: "The queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom, that is the king of a country!" She actually came to Chang'an City in person? ”

Li Fu looked proud, and said with a straight face: "Li Shaolang, my Tang Dynasty is **** Shangguo, and the queen of Dongnu Kingdom is my courtier of the Tang Emperor. ”

Li An nodded hurriedly, Gao Fu was right, the Tang Empire was strong, and it was the suzerainty of the surrounding small countries, and the kings of these small vassal states were naturally the courtiers of the Tang Emperor, and it made sense for the courtiers to come to see His Majesty.

And this situation has begun since the Great Sui Empire of the previous dynasty, and the peak of the national strength of the Sui and Tang dynasties is far from being comparable to the surrounding small countries, and this period is also the most glorious stage of the entire Chinese Empire.

"Fu Bo, the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom is the king of a country, but now that Your Majesty is not in the capital, how can she see Your Majesty?"

Li An was very curious, the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom came to see, Li Longji couldn't have known, but why didn't he prepare in the palace and stay in the hot spring palace dozens of miles away to take a bath? Don't? No, no.

Gao Fu exuded a sense of arrogance, and said with a straight face: "Li Shaolang, since ancient times, courtiers have been waiting for the Son of Heaven to summon him, and now His Majesty is still in the Hot Spring Palace, and the Queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom will wait a few more days, and it will not be too late for His Majesty to return to the palace to summon him!" ”

When Li An heard this, he understood that Li Longji completely regarded himself as the king of heaven, he could do whatever he wanted, and he would summon the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom whenever he wanted, everything was subject to his preferences, if he didn't have time, others could only wait first.

In this way, Li An couldn't help but worry about himself, in Li Longji's eyes, the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom is not a matter, so isn't it even less important for him, a guy who is still white?

'It's better to be an emperor!' You can do whatever you want, no wonder everyone wants to be an emperor. ’

Li An sighed from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't know when he would be summoned by Li Longji.

"Fu Bo, if you are in a hurry to go back, take Madam and Yue'er back first! I want to see the queen of the East Lady Kingdom here. ”

Seeing that Gao Fu didn't want to stay outside the city and blow the cold wind, Li An said softly.

When Gao Fu heard this, he was slightly startled, and looked sideways at Yue'er.

Yue'er pinched her mouth and shook her head gently: "Fu Bo, I also want to see the Queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom here, A-Niang's injury has not healed yet, you can go back first!" ”

"What, Madame is hurt."

Gao Fu was shocked when he heard this, Yue'er only said that she was robbed by thieves just now, but she didn't say that her wife was injured.

He ran to the carriage with a few steps, and bowed to greet the lady in the carriage.

Li An saw that the curtain of the carriage gently opened a corner, and the middle-aged lady in the car glanced at Yue'er, glanced at Li An again, smiled indifferently at the corner of her mouth, and gently lowered the curtain.

Several subordinates brought by Gao Fu surrounded the carriage and slowly walked in the direction of Qixiamen on the east side.

Li An turned his head and looked at the Mingde Gate due north, admiring the most magnificent city gate of the Tang Empire, this Mingde Gate is located on the central axis of Chang'an City, and after entering the city, it is the Vermilion Bird Street that is one hundred and fifty steps wide, which is also the widest street in Chang'an City, and the end of the Vermilion Bird Street is the Vermilion Gate of the Tang Imperial City.

The scale of Mingde Gate is very large, there are five doorways, the width of each doorway is more than two zhang, the thickness of the wall between the doorways is nearly one zhang, and the depth of the north and south of the doorway is five or six zhang.

At this time, all the gates were controlled by the Yulin army, and the merchants and people who wanted to enter and exit the city gate had to choose the Qixia Gate on the east side and the Anhua Gate on the west side.

Of course, there are also many people who stay in place to watch the excitement, and as long as these people don't make trouble and don't interfere with the Yulin Army, the Yulin Army will not drive away, after all, a large number of businessmen and people gathered outside the city are also a kind of pomp, if there are only a few hundred Yulin Army, it will be too deserted.

It wasn't long before officials dressed in green and blue clothes also walked out of the Mingde Gate and stood in two rows along both sides of the road.

In the distance, a large group of people could be seen coming, and Li An knew that this must be the team of Her Majesty the Queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom.

According to historical records, in the winter of the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, Zhao Yufu, the queen of the Eastern Women's Kingdom, personally led a team to Chang'an City to pay tribute.

As the queen's procession got closer and closer, more than a dozen officials dressed in purple and red walked out of the doorway in the middle of the Mingde Gate, the first of whom was weak and always had a sweet smile on his face, looking quite kind.

Li An looked at Yue'er beside him and said in a low voice: "Yue'er, the officials at the front, do you recognize them?" ”

Yue'er smiled at the corner of her mouth, and her expression was a little proud: "Li Shaolang, standing at the front is Li Xiangguo, on the left is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, on the right is Shangshu Pei Zuocheng, and Yang Yushi, Wang Yushi, ......"

Li An didn't care much about the officials behind him, he looked at Li Xiangguo at the front of the team, and couldn't help but be full of good feelings for him, he knew that Li Linfu was a traitor with a honey-bellied sword, but his appearance was very friendly, which made people feel very comfortable.

The team of the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom is getting closer and closer, and the Tang officials led by Li Linfu are also standing in their respective positions, ready to welcome the queen.

The gorgeous carriage was lined with entourage on foot, and there were hundreds of elite guards around it, which looked quite pompous, and what surprised Li An was that there were many women among the soldiers guarding the guards, and the generals were also women in military uniforms.

It is worthy of being a daughter country, the king is a woman, and the generals and soldiers are also women, and it seems that the status of women in the eastern women's country is high and completely dominant. ’

Li Anxin secretly marveled, and took a few steps forward, standing behind the human wall lined up by the soldiers of the Yulin Army, carefully observing everything in front of him.

Li Linfu was still smiling, and straightened his chest to look at the queen's team, he was the prime minister of the Tang Empire, the courtier of the Tang Dynasty Emperor, and the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom was also the courtier of the Tang Dynasty, therefore, their status was equal, in order to maintain the majesty of the Tang Empire, Li Linfu must straighten his chest and wait for the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom to get off the car and meet him.

The ornate carriage stopped in front of Ang Lee's eyes, and one of the accompanying ladies gently lifted the curtain, while the other two ladies stood in front of the carriage, waiting for the queen to get off.

The moment the curtain opened, Ang Lee's nose smelled an aromatic smell, this fragrance he had never experienced before, maybe it was unique to his daughter's country!

A young lady slowly walked out of the carriage, looking only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful posture and deep eyes, pure like an iceberg and snow field that had never been polluted.

'Is this little lady the queen of the East Female Kingdom, this is unlikely! How can you be so young? ’

Li An's eyes were full of doubts, and his eyes widened.

The corner of the little lady's mouth smiled slightly, looked around casually, and then walked towards Li Linfu accompanied by several female officials.

'This little lady is really the Queen of the East, and it's amazing that she can ascend the throne at such a young age. ’

Li An was greatly surprised, he didn't know much about the situation in Dongnuguo.

Dongnu country is another species of Xiqiang, its east is connected with Tubo, Dangxiang, Maozhou, west of the Sanbo River, north of Khotan, east and west length of nine days, north and south length is 20 days of travel, there are 80 cities in the country, the population of 40,000 households, 10,000 elite soldiers.

In later generations, the 'Beauty Valley' in the southwest of **** is the location of the capital of the East Women's Kingdom, and five rivers such as the Dadu River converge here, so that this place is full of aura, all the girls who grow here, almost do not apply powder, but they are beautiful and refined, this natural beauty is the most intoxicating, and the women of Dan and Ba are as beautiful as water" is the sincere evaluation of later generations.

Dongnu country is a country of matriarchal society, only the mother's family, no mother-in-law's family, until later generations, still retains the customs of the ancestors, which attracts **** tourists to visit.

Li Linfu and the Queen of the East bowed their heads almost at the same time and exchanged pleasantries, because the distance was too far, it was impossible for Li An to hear their conversation.

The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty personally ran outside the Mingde Gate to greet him, which was considered to have given the queen of the vassal state enough face, and Li Linfu's warm and enthusiastic attitude made the Queen of the East feel at home.

The Eastern Queen Zhao Yufu, accompanied by Li Linfu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, entered Chang'an City from the door hole in the middle of the Mingde Gate, and took a carriage along the Vermilion Bird Street with a width of one hundred and fifty steps to the Imperial City.
