Chapter 53: The Naturalization of the Wave Dome (Part 2)
On the first day of October, the gate of Taichu Palace was opened, and the worship ceremony of Langqiong Zhao was officially held.
After the martial arts, the imperial gate of heaven, the civil and military ministers and the ministers and nobles dressed up in auspicious clothes, bowed and bowed.
Yili, first ask the heavens, "How are the celestial phenomena?" How's it going to be rain or shine? ”
Qintian Prison is coming out, "the stars are in place, the wind and rain are smooth"
Then ask the people, "How is the people's livelihood?" What are the customs? ”
The prime ministers are listed, "people's livelihood is happy, mellow and good"
Then he asked the ministers, "How is the government?" ”
Tianguan Shangshu Wu Chenghei is listed, "the official is strict, and the Haiyan River is clear"
Empress Wu bowed his head and moved to the Vientiane Shrine, and the ministers stood on the left side of the court hall and summoned the envoys of the foreign domain.
The cheerful and peaceful welcome music sounded, and the Chunguan Shilang and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple guided, and a group of envoys entered from the Yongtai Gate and stopped at the foot of the Vientiane Shrine.
The sound of ceremonial music stopped suddenly, the envoys bowed down, the movements of the Silla envoys were particularly standard, the southern tone was tuned to the north, and the sound of praise and worship was everywhere, but he used the Tang Dynasty cut rhyme with the words in a straight tone, and his voice was also loud, "Silla envoys, foreign minister Jin Che knocked on the queen of the Heavenly Empire"
The general responsibility for safety, standing above His Majesty Dan, standing behind the throne, condescending, seeing hundreds of envoys dressed differently, different skin colors, each representing a country, with the most reverent posture at the foot of the empire, the heart of the ups and downs, if you have not experienced a hundred years of loss, this is the original appearance of the Chinese people.
The emotional turmoil was irrepressible, and he muttered in his mouth, "Nine days to open the palace, and all nations will be crowned with crowns"
Although the voice was small, it was quiet at this time, Shangguan Wan'er had bright eyes, glanced at him, and the living room under the stairs looked up and looked up, his eyes were full of admiration, and he buried his head and walked non-stop, as if he had recorded this sentence in the living record.
Quan Ce secretly scolded in his heart, this matter is public, and the sin of a royal dereliction of honor cannot be escaped.
"Xuan" Wu Hou lightly opened his red lips, spit out a word, the envoys lifted the sleeves of their robes, bent down, and rushed into the hall to stand on duty, the movements were flowing smoothly, and the feet were thick sky blue carpets, and the ground was silent, and the group seemed to float in.
Chunguan Shangshu Wu Sansi came out of the column to play, "After the minister enlightens the sky, the southwest Jianchuan, there is a wave of the edict, the heart admires the king, please attach it as a domain, there is a table here, please the queen of heaven and the holy judge"
Empress Wu bowed his head slightly, Wu Sansi unfolded the seal, and began to recite, four and six, brilliant writing, it must be the handwriting of the Hanlin scholars, Quan Ce had no intention of listening carefully, revealing a trace of disgust, Wu Sansi's voice was loud, his expression was solemn, but his appearance was slightly inferior, his heart was wide and fat, which was detrimental to the prestige of the Heavenly Empire, and he was far inferior to Wu Chenghei.
Wu San thought about it for about two quarters of an hour, and Empress Wu approved it, "Xuan Qi went to the hall"
Lile Fu and the great work, the wave of the dome edict king in the past since the gate of heaven started, on both sides of the flag hunting, the top of the feather brilliant, the royal majesty, see him straight dazzling, and strive to control the feet along the royal road to walk in a straight line, but can not do as desired, crooked, not a few steps, already sweating, to the Vientiane Shrine under the steps, see a few steps, relaxed, to go up the ladder.
"Duh" the salute official pursed his lips and scolded, and suddenly woke up in the evening, in addition to the hot sweat, there was another layer of cold sweat, and he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "The foreign minister Langqiong Zhao Wang used to meet the queen of heaven in the evening"
After getting permission, he glanced at the salute officer in the evening, and saw that he had no objection, so he dared to step up the stairs, after a long journey, the etiquette of entering the palace was forgotten again, the steps were chaotic, and when he saw the Dan Majesty in front of the throne, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to encounter this thing, and he was going to kneel down, and he walked forward quickly.
Fortunately, he was alert, and glanced at His Majesty Dan as he walked, just a glance, frightened, the young general who took over the Hanguan Ancient Road was glaring at him with angry eyes at this moment, and the guards behind His Majesty Dan were already holding the handle of the knife, and it seemed that if he took another step, he would have a broken head.
"Bang Dang" stumbled on his left foot and his right foot in the evening, and he fell to the ground neatly, which was a wonderful five-body gift.
The Tang Dynasty Wenwu cast a pitying gaze, but the other envoys were gloating, and the Silla envoy Jin Cheol, his face was about to laugh, this look, he dared to compete with me Silla for the favor of the empire, it was really beyond his strength.
Others are relaxed, Wu Sansi didn't dare, and repeatedly greeted the ceremonial officer, assisting the evening to complete the etiquette, looking at the clumsy appearance of the evening, regretting it, and adjusting the etiquette was originally the work of the Honglu Temple, but the Honglu Temple Qing Li Sansheng was kicked to Qiongzhou by him, and no one was in charge, so he had to be temporarily replaced by the Chunguan Yamen.
In the evening, he answered with the monarchs and ministers of the Empress Wu, and asked a few words about the national economy and people's livelihood, and the answer was stumbling, and the Empress Wu did not think it was wrong, "Although the Langqiong Edict is a subordinate of my vassal, the customs are different, and it is for the people, and the Qing is still the history of the Langqiong Thorn, and the people are appeased on behalf of me, and the sacrifice and the war are the major affairs of the country, and Hugh has to specialize in it"
A moment later, in the evening, he was dressed in the clothes of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, presented the national letter, the tribute list, and the other monarchs and ministers often saluted, and set the names of the monarchs and ministers.
After the completion of the ritual system, the Empress Wu ordered the spring officials and the local officials to draw up the return gifts, and promised to return to the country after five days.
It was day and night, the Empress Wu gave a banquet in Taoguang Garden, the banquet was in the evening, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the envoys of the foreign domain were accompanied, the banquet sang and danced, the wine and delicacies, some people wanted to find it uncomfortable, the Silla envoy Jin Che to the guest of honor seat in the evening, the horizontal and vertical did not please look at the eyes, and couldn't help but leave the table, "Playing the Celestial Empire, the ministers thought that the vassals were naturalized in the Celestial Empire, and they must have the heart of the car and the same track, and the whole country should follow suit, and be proud of the Tang Dynasty's treasures, poems, books, rituals and music, cherish it as they have their own, and the ministers thought that the great success of the Celestial Dynasty was the most prosperous, Poetry also, the immortal treasure of the millennium, today's sitting, there are the old ministers of the Celestial Empire, there are also the new ministers, the ocean is magnificent, why not show their talents, remember the grace of the Celestial Empire with poems, and describe today's event"
The envoys of the Wa State and Baekje took the lead in responding, the Turkic, Khitan and other nomadic peoples were cautiously welcomed, and their upper-class people were also in the trend of chanting poems, and it was not difficult to recite two sentences, and the envoys of the Western Regions countries cheered, they were not excited because they wanted to write poems, but because they were excited to witness the birth of Tang poems.
In the evening, the face was red, looking around the left and right, the members of the mission were all quails, literacy and literacy are not the same as literacy and hyphenation, and then look at the Tang people, no matter how martial arts, all of them are safe, they seem to be confident, and in the evening, they sighed in their hearts, and the awe of the empire is incomprehensible, dusting off their sleeves, and first admitting a cowardice.
Before leaving, Empress Wu suddenly spoke, "Qing and the others have this Yaxing, I should fully support it, and then the guest of honor is orderly, so the Tang Dynasty Wenwu will chant poetry first, how about it?" ”
Jin Che waved his hand again and again to object, "The ministers don't dare, the literature of the Celestial Empire is at its peak, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, all of them are the holy hands of poetry, the pearl and jade are in front, I am afraid that we will have no shame to speak."
"It's okay, I'm afraid I don't know the rhythm of poetry, I will give the next person guidance, but there are still objections?" Empress Wu was helpless and retreated to the next best.
Jin Che and others reserved their opinions, "If it is the Labor Fengge Luantai, Wenchang Zuo, Liubu Yushitai, and Hanlin Bachelors, I am afraid that there will be some misunderstandings."
As soon as they gossiped and ruled out, all the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not among them, and the military queen raised her head and laughed, "I don't invite a scribe, I will arrange a military general, okay?" ”
Jin Che and others reluctantly agreed, "Thank you for being compassionate and obedient"
The Empress Wu waved his hand lightly, Quan Ce got up and left the table, and came to the Empress Wu to obey the order.
Jin Che and the others exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a thousand cavalry generals? ”
Empress Wu smiled, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”
At this time, there is something to say, which is inevitably too much, which makes the ministers and everyone interested, and it is quite meaningful.
Quan Ce came to the Langqiong Imperial Mission, was warmly welcomed, and bowed his hand in the evening, "Xiang Sun has seen the general Wu Yong, today is lucky, goodbye to the general Wenhua, there is hard work"
Quan Ce was too lazy to talk nonsense, laid down the plain white paper, and immediately helped the pen, "The waves are wide and the autumn is cool, and the Shen Shen Water Hall is long at night." Self-pity and retreat from the Five Lakes, He Xing chased after the king of the hundred valleys. The fragrant blue clouds float a few seats, and the white jade pepper syrup flies. Drink and go alone in the boat, laugh into the immortal hometown of the piano"
As soon as the poem came out, the unrestrained envoys of the Western Regions, regardless of decency, stepped forward to transcribe and sing, and then danced with their hands, dancing in the banquet, and the priest of the teaching workshop was obedient, and quickly played Qingle, the song and dance were changed, the ears and eyes were refreshing, the scene was agitated, and the enthusiasm was very high.
Empress Wu laughed happily and faced the envoys of the foreign domain, "Zhuqing, do you still have a good work to hear?" ”
Jin Che and the others knelt down and bowed, and they didn't dare to write, "The Celestial Empire is at its peak, and as far as Si is concerned, the heavens love Middle-earth, so much more."
"It's ridiculous, the world is one family, how can we divide each other?" Empress Wu is graceful and generous.
The ministers and envoys bowed and admired again, and the voices of praise and praise were endless.
