Chapter 91: The Yuan Ri Dynasty Meeting
The palace was opened in nine days, and all the nations were crowned with crowns.
The Yuan Day of the Tang Empire is extremely grand, outside the majestic Hanyuan Palace, there are more than 10,000 princes and ministers and envoys from various countries, the scale is extremely shocking, they all have to meet the Tang Emperor Li Longji on the most important day of the year.
In the twenty-ninth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there were not only envoys from various countries, but also important figures such as Zhao Yufu, the queen of the East, and Liu Tengweigong, the deceased king of the Buddha.
"Woo woo woo ......"
With the sound of the horn of etiquette, the Tang officials headed by Li Linfu slowly entered the Hanyuan Hall according to the level of their grades.
Subsequently, the Tang Emperor Li Longji wore a crown fur, surrounded by Gao Lishi and Yu Chaoen, as well as palace maids and eunuchs, strode into the Hanyuan Hall and sat on the dragon chair.
Li Linfu and other ministers respectfully bowed to Li Longji to show the courtiers' loyalty and admiration for the Son of Heaven.
"All are flat for Aiqing."
Li Longji has an excellent complexion, his eyes are bright, and although he is old, his body is still full of a charming imperial domineering.
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Eastern Queen and the Buddha King, I wish the Tang Dynasty a thousand generations, forever as the lord of all nations, and the treasures of the tribute countries have entered the treasury, and now, the envoys of all countries are waiting outside the palace to be summoned."
Li Linfu reported loudly in a proud tone.
Li Longji smiled at the corner of his mouth and glanced at Yu Chaoen beside him.
"Queen Xuandong, the king of the Buddha, and envoys from all countries are here."
As soon as Yu Chaoen's words fell, the envoys of various countries led by Zhao Yufu, the queen of the East, entered the Hanyuan Hall in turn, and saw Li Longji with the Tang Dynasty.
The envoys of all countries, even the Queen of the East and the King of the Buddha, knelt at their feet and expressed their loyalty and blessings to themselves, and the pride of Li Longji in his heart can be imagined.
Li Longji stretched out his hands, let the envoys of various countries flatten their bodies, and deliberately looked at Zhao Yufu, the queen of the East, and Liu Tengwei, the king of the Buddha's death, and said politely: "The queen of the East and the king of the Buddha came to Chang'an in person, and I am very happy in my heart. ”
When several little eunuchs heard the order, they immediately brought a few cases and futons and placed them not far from both sides of Li Longji's imperial case.
"Zhao Yufu Xie Tang Emperor."
"Liu Tengwei congratulated the Tang Emperor."
Zhao Yufu and Liu Tengweigong bent down and saluted, and knelt on the futon according to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the distance between Li Longji and Zhao Yufu was only less than five steps, and Zhao Lufu's peerless face and smiling posture were naturally all under Li Longji's nose, which couldn't help but make Li Longji a little trance.
With such a beautiful woman, any man will be tempted when he sees her, let alone Li Longji, who is the king of a country? However, the East Woman Kingdom is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, and the East Queen is his courtier, he knows that it is impossible to include the East Queen in the palace to satisfy his selfish desires, besides, the current situation in the East Woman Country is critical, let alone make any extraneous branches, which makes Li Longji feel a little regretful.
If Zhao Yufu was just the royal family of the Dongnu Kingdom, or ordinary people, Li Longji would definitely try his best to include him in the palace, but Zhao Yufu was the king of the Dongnu Kingdom, and this special status made Li Longji completely dispel the absurd thoughts in his heart.
Li Longji looked at Zhao Yufu quietly, stunned, and said with a smile: "The Eastern Women's Kingdom and my Tang Dynasty have been friendly for generations, and all generations of Eastern Queens are also loyal to the Tang Dynasty, I am very pleased, today's court meeting, the Eastern Queen came to see in person, I am even more happy, I decided to crown the Queen of the East as the King of Guichang, award the general Zuo Jin Wuwei, and reward 1,000 pieces of gold and 2,000 pieces of silk." ”
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Yufu saluted Li Longji with a big gift to show his gratitude.
Li Longji smiled indifferently, looked at the envoys of the rest of the countries, and said loudly: "The country of the Buddha died and the Tang Dynasty are friendly, I named the king of the Buddha as the king of Binyi, awarded the right general Jin Wuwei, and the envoys of the rest of the countries are all rewarded." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The deceased king of the Buddha, Liu Tengwei, and the envoys of various countries knelt down to thank him.
Li Longji looked at Zhao Yufu, stretched out his right hand, and said softly: "I remember very well, the last time King Guichang came to Chang'an, he was only so tall, and he has grown into an adult after not seeing him for many years, haha!" ”
Zhao Yufu smiled: "It's rare that Your Majesty still remembers these, the minister came with his mother-in-law last time, and he hasn't seen him for many years, His Majesty is still in full bloom, and he is still the lord of all nations." ”
"Hahahaha!"
Li Longji was praised and laughed, and all the ministers and envoys of various countries also echoed it, and the Yuanri court meeting was held in a cheerful atmosphere, and everyone was full of joy.
However, Li Longji is polite and perfunctory to the envoys of various countries, but he pays special attention to Zhao Yufu, the queen of the East, not only because Zhao Yufu is beautiful, but also because there is something wrong with the Dongnu Kingdom at the moment, and the Dongnu Kingdom is an important chess piece of the Tang Dynasty to balance Tubo, and it is extremely important to the Tang Empire, so Li Longji has to pay attention to it.
Of course, this also coincides with Zhao Yufu's thoughts, Zhao Yufu came to Chang'an in person this time, but also to use the power of the Tang Empire to stabilize the domestic situation, and get rid of the aggressive Tubo Empire, to prevent the Dongnu Kingdom from being annexed by Tubo.
The liveliness of the Yuan Day Grand Court Meeting is beyond imagination, the entire Hanyuan Hall inside and outside, all the courtiers and envoys from various countries who pay homage, and even on the street outside the palace, there are a large number of people in the capital who watch the excitement.
The court meeting is very lively, so that the whole Chang'an City is full of joy, however, there is no banquet in the world, after the end of the court, all the courtiers and envoys from various countries left the Hanyuan Hall in turn.
Li Longji deliberately left Zhao Yufu, the king of Guichang, and several confidants and important ministers, because the affairs of the Dongnu Kingdom were the top priority of the Tang Empire, so he had to deal with it as soon as possible.
"King Guichang came to Chang'an City in person this time, there must be something important!"
Li Longji smiled in his eyes and asked straightforwardly.
Zhao Yufu nodded lightly: "Your Majesty, the minister came to Chang'an City this time, there are indeed 100,000 urgent things, the west of the East Woman Country is Tubo, in recent years, Tubo has been pressing step by step, and there is a great attempt to annex my East Woman Country, if there is no protection from the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that in a few years, the East Woman Country will not be a part of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li Longji nodded approvingly, and said: "Tubo is very ambitious, he is not only interested in the Dongnu Kingdom, but the entire Tang Empire, just a few days ago, news came from Longyou, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Tubo invaded my Tang Dynasty's Kuozhou, and took advantage of my Tang Dynasty's unpreparedness to capture Shibao City. ”
Zhao Yufu was shocked when he heard this, it is not strange that Tubo threatened the Dongnu Kingdom, because the Dongnu Kingdom only has 10,000 elite soldiers, which is a small country, but the Tang Empire is a very large and powerful empire, and Tubo even dares to attack the powerful Tang Empire, and the successful capture of Shibao City makes her heart full of worries.
A trace of confidence flashed in the corner of Li Longji's eyes, and he said: "King Guichang doesn't have to worry, I have a million heroes in the Tang Dynasty, and I lost a stone castle city, and I can take it back, Tubo despises the Tang Dynasty, I will never tolerate it, the main army under the command of my famous Tang general Wang Zhonghei has entered Longyou, and he will definitely be able to thwart the main army of Tubo, and the Dongnu Kingdom is a subject country of my Tang Dynasty, if Tubo dares to invade the Dongnu Kingdom, I will definitely send a large army to reinforce it." ”
Zhao Yufu was greatly moved: "With Your Majesty's words, the minister is relieved." ”
Li Longji took out the secret letter of Tubo from his arms, looked at Zhao Yufu, and said softly: "With the Tang Dynasty Xiongshi here, King Guichang does not have to worry about the attack of the Tubo army, but if the traitors in the country are not eliminated as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles!" ”
Yu Chaoen understood and handed over the secret letter to Zhao Yufu's hands.
Dongnuguo and Tubo both originated from the Western Qiang people, and Zhao Yufu not only learned Tang culture since he was a child, but also came into contact with the Tibetan language, so he could understand this secret letter.
"I can't imagine that in Dongnu, there are people who conspire with the Tubo people and want to murder me."
Zhao Yufu frowned, with an expression of disbelief.
Li Longji smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Not only that, but by the side of King Guichang, there are hidden spies, if it weren't for this, why would the Tubo assassin be so coincidental and suddenly appear in Shenhe Yuan?" ”
"Your Majesty, how did you get this letter? Have you already caught the spies? ”
Li Longji shook his head lightly: "This letter is a brother under Li An, who accidentally shot a carrier pigeon while hunting, and got it from the leg of the carrier pigeon. ”
'Ang Lee, it's him, why didn't he tell me about it.' ’
Zhao Yufu was puzzled, and at the same time, his heart was also full of worries, not knowing whether he would be able to return to Dongnu Country alive.
"Your Majesty, the minister went to Chang'an City this time, only led hundreds of personal guards, if Tubo conspired with the spies and set up an ambush on the way back, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the minister to return to the Dongnu Kingdom alive, and I implore Your Majesty to save the minister's life."
Li Longji's eyes showed a trace of pity, Zhao Yufu's situation at this time was even more sinister than when he ascended the throne, although he was facing the threat of Princess Taiping at that time, but he was a twenty-seven-year-old man after all, and he also had a small foundation, and he had enough confidence to fight with Princess Taiping, and Zhao Yufu was just a teenage girl, just ascended the throne for a year, and his foundation was still very shallow.
As a person who has come over, Li Longji has a deep feeling for sitting firmly in the country, as the king of a country, he must be able to control his courtiers, and at the same time he must be ruthless enough, Princess Taiping is his aunt, he is not ruthless to kill, in addition, his three sons were also killed by him in one go because they posed a threat to his throne.
And Zhao Yufu in front of him is obviously a kind-hearted little lady, a kind and fragile person, who must take care of family affection and blood, so how can he eradicate the domestic conspiracy forces vigorously?
"King Guichang doesn't have to worry, I will send an elite army of soldiers and horses to escort King Guichang back to the Dongnu Kingdom, if necessary, this army can help you eradicate the spies, how about King Guichang?"
Li Longji looked at Zhao Yufu, and his tone could not be refuted.
