Chapter 594: The Grand Ceremony of the Imperial Meeting
The Royal Palace, the center of the city of Malu.
Li Chengji, who has been back in the city for more than ten days, held a grand court meeting for the first time. All Khorasan officials above the third rank must enter the palace to participate in the court meeting.
Although Lee Seung-ji did not make a major renovation of the palace, it served as a place where the monarch of a country lived. The officials of the Superintendent are still remodeled to a limited extent. For example, the Golden Hall has been renovated and decorated more magnificently.
Many rare objects of the imperial palaces of Huihe, Eastern Qarakhanid, Khorezm and other countries are placed in the Golden Hall as much as possible. There are also unique things from Persia, Gur, Tibet, Kipchak and other places, which are also integrated into the decoration of the hall.
There are also exquisite porcelain from the Song Kingdom, which adds a little color to the luxury of the Golden Hall.
Today, Li Chengji held a court meeting here to show solemnity.
Khorasan officials dressed in Khorasan dress gathered together and were lined up according to the civil and military ranks. The grades went from high to low, all the way to the outside of the hall.
In order to prevent the courtiers from talking nonsense, all the courtiers did not have seats. Only Li Chengji's pure gold Taishi chair was placed at the top, becoming the only person qualified to sit in the whole hall.
At that moment, Murgo came to the outside of the hall first, and said loudly: "The lord of the country has arrived!" ”。
Everyone knelt on one knee to welcome Lee Seungji's arrival.
The solemn music was played, and the hall was solemn.
Li Chengji, who was dressed in a white crown robe, slowly entered the hall under the hugs of the waiters.
In Khorasan, there is no tradition of preciousness in yellow. Muslims with a strong religious imprint do not find yellow any different. On the contrary, white, under the admiration of Li Chengji, has gradually become a color that is enthusiastically sought after by the whole people.
This is limited by the special geographical conditions of Khorasan.
Because precipitation is scarce throughout the year, there is a lot of sunshine, and ultraviolet rays are very strong. Therefore, white is the least heat-absorbing color of all colors. The white coat that was common in the Middle East in later generations also has a certain degree of science.
However, Li Chengji does not like the monotony and uniformity of clothing. Therefore, although white is commonly used, there are many styles of clothing. Costumes that only represent the characteristics of ethnic minorities are prohibited. For example, the costumes of the Khorezm people, who have been destroyed, have been ordered to be forbidden by Khorasan.
There are also Huihe costumes, which have just been incorporated into Khorasan, which are also forbidden to wear. In the Eastern and Western Qarakhanids, the same ancestor, the locals can still retain their traditional costumes. However, the popular costumes in Khorasan are also borrowed from them, so the clothing of the people in these two places does not fully reflect the local ethnic characteristics.
However, in Ghul, Sindh, Persia, Kipchak and other places, the degree of recognition among local ethnic groups is not high, either due to cultural weakness or because of long-term division and chaos. Culturally, Lee Seung-ji does not need to ban them.
After all, as long as the rule of Khorasan is established, and the culture is greatly developed, sooner or later they will be assimilated.
Compared with the last dress, Li Chengji's costume this time has a lot less Han characteristics. This is a decision made by Lee Seung-ji after careful consideration.
As soon as the next step of Khorasan expands, it is the two river basins. It was a traditional Muslim parish, and it needed to be culturally close. In this way, it is also convenient for subsequent expansion and rule.
Second, there are many powerful countries in the Central Plains, and Mongolia and Jin are not so easy to defeat. Coupled with the fact that the culture and religion are very different from Khorasan, it is not the best choice to set foot rashly.
Therefore, Li Chengji corrected his mentality and tried his best to localize and Islamize Khorasan. In order to replace the long-overdue Abbasid Empire, it will become a Muslim empire that unifies Europe, Asia and Africa.
There is still some time to go before this goal is achieved, but the corresponding preparations need to begin. For example, Li Chengji deliberately asked the Li firm to pay for the repair of mosques in the land of Persia.
This is a boon for the local devout Muslims.
When praying, the name of Lee Seung-ji was also more sincere.
At that moment, Li Chengji sat down at the top and said: "No courtesy!" ”。
The ministers slowly got up and said in unison, "Thank you, Lord of the country." ”。
Then Murgo came forward and read out Li Chengji's holy decree.
In fact, there is nothing special, first of all, read out the feat of Khorasan in recent years. For example, the southern expedition to Gur added the three counties of Gur, Sindh and Sistan to Khorasan. He went north to Daliao and incorporated an army of 100,000 in Khorezm.
Defeat Naiman again, and recover the capital of the Great Liao in one fell swoop, Balasagon. Then they marched in all directions, conquering Kipchak and Persia in the west, and Huihe and Qarakhanid in the east. It also marched into Xia and Tubo, and seized the four states of Shagua and Mayu.
The size of Khorasan has increased five- to sixfold.
This is a great joy for all the people of Khorasan.
The courtiers below couldn't help but be thrilled as they listened to Murgo's list of the great events and feats of the years. Although when the new land was first opened, it was busy with the dispatch of officials. But looking back now, I suddenly feel a sense of accomplishment.
Especially the growth of Khorasan, they are also hands-on. It's like watching your child go from toddler to becoming a man who stands tall in the sky, and that kind of achievement and satisfaction cannot be described in three words.
Among these people, Zhang Timing's emotion is particularly great.
He was the first to follow Lee Seung-ji!
Although he was half-coerced and half-tempted by Li Chengji to get on the big ship of Khorasan, it didn't matter. At present, he is one of the six important Great Diwans in Khorasan, and he has all the authority and status that he did not obtain when he was in Daliao.
And in the court, there are not so many parties and attacks. Even because of the region and interests, there are still small groups in the court. But he is an old minister, and his position is very important, so he can stay out of it.
Any conspiracy and conspiracy did not dare to find him openly.
If there is anything not satisfied, it is the marriage of his daughter, Zhang Zhiqin. In the past, Li Chengji revealed the intention of marrying Zhang Zhiqin, but with the continuous wars in the Khorasan Empire and the increasing number of princesses in the harem, this matter was almost not mentioned.
Zhang Timing, who originally wanted to take care of one or two, is now eager to marry his daughter. With such an identity as the abbot, he can't run. The glory of the Zhang family has also been stabilized.
Thinking so, he couldn't help but look at the official behind him, Diwan, Musa Alzimi. This is the old minister who assisted Li Chengji at the same time as him, and he also has the same respected status in Khorasan. Now many former ministers of the Western Qarakhanate are secretly approaching him.
If this is all there is, Zhang Timing will not take it to heart. Because in the court of Da Liao, there are many old ministers of Da Liao. And among the six parts, it accounts for two of them.
Only Li Chengji's choice for queen made him faintly worried.
That Puhua princess Ayina is a person who has served Li Chengji for a long time, and in the past few days, there has been news of suspected pregnancy. If the rumors are true, then the queen's crown may fall on Aina's head.
