Chapter 17 The Great Liao Emperor

"When it is! When it is! Li Shichang responded a few times, and together with other court officials, Hou was outside the king's tent.

During this period, the two sides of the people, across the entrance of the tent, stood on the left and right sides. Except for a few polite greetings at the beginning, there was no much communication.

It wasn't until the arrival of the Great Liao Emperor that the two sides invariably shouted long live.

Li Chengji, who was chatting with Yila Chong'a, Kumbas and others, also hurriedly knelt down with everyone.

However, while people were not paying attention, he still quietly raised his head.

I saw that the emperor of Da Liao was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a long face and thick lips. He is about seven feet long, has dark skin, and has a burly physique. It's not handsome, but it's very attractive. And it gives the impression that it is very masculine.

At the moment, he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown of heaven that only Han emperors had. If he hadn't known in advance that he was a Khitan, Li Chengji would have thought he was Han.

It is also more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Liao, and the degree of sinicization has been very deep. Long before moving westward, the Khitan aristocracy had already shown an obvious trend of sinicization. led the tribe to move westward and founded the Dezong Yelu Dashi of Western Liao, and was influenced by Han culture since childhood. Even Hanlin, who has always been admitted to the Han Dynasty, was admitted by him.

Therefore, the successors were also influenced by him. In many ways, it has a distinctly Han Chinese character.

"Everyone, Aiqing, let's be even!" After seeing everyone saluting, the emperor used Chinese to let everyone stand together. Due to the rules and regulations of Liao, many inherited the former Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Aiqing's intention is also different from the usage of calling women in the Song Dynasty.

On the court clothes, there is also a strong pre-Tang style. In particular, the Southern Courtyard, which has more Han officials, is basically the same as the court clothes of the former Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengji didn't know about this. He just thinks that this Da Liao is too strange. is obviously a Khitan emperor, but he is dressed like a Han Chinese. The costumes of the court officials are also varied. Not only Khitan and Hanfu can become court clothes, but even the costumes of the Hui Crane people can be allowed to pass in the court.

It looks like the nations of the world to come.

After standing up, Li Chengji looked at the dressed queen again. Listening to the introduction of Yila Chong'a, this Great Liao Queen is neither a Khitan nor a Han, but a princess of the Qarlu tribe of the northern tribe.

Due to the period of Empress Chengtian, the Beidi Kangli and Naiman tribes successively defected to the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, the queen deliberately made the decision to let the saint, who was still the prince at the time, marry the princess of the Luo Gelu tribe.

Only then did the tranquility of the northern border be stabilized.

You can see that it has a large round face and small eyes. It is not much different from the appearance of the Mongols. Behind him, followed by the princess and a large number of the Lady of the Commandment. Li Xiao stood half a step behind the queen's right side. All of them are jewels and dazzling.

After the emperor entered the account, all the court officials followed in.

It's just that at this time, a small episode happened.

But it was the group of people led by Ma Hemu who deliberately stood in front of Li Shichang and others. It is good to reflect, the difference between high and low.

If the other party succeeds, Li Shichang will undoubtedly lose face in front of everyone. But if you don't let it, it's easy to make a fuss. At that time, the emperor will definitely mistakenly think that the courtiers will compete for favor and lose their dignity.

While weighing the pros and cons, Ma Hemu had already lifted the curtain and stepped into it with half a foot.

But he didn't want to, Li Chengji suddenly relied on the advantage of being small and quickly jumped in front of everyone. Then he pounced on the spot, pretending to slip and said, "Oops! ”。

For a moment, Ma Hemu had to stop.

But Li Chengji did not delay, and shouted loudly: "Daddy! Leg pain! ”。

Li Shichang, who hadn't reacted yet, immediately understood something when he saw Li Chengji's grinning teeth and dark eyes. hurriedly ran over, while reprimanding Li Chengji for being reckless and not understanding etiquette, he helped him up, and entered the account with a natural expression.

In this way, Mahmu fell behind.

Listening to the muffled snort behind him, Li Chengji held back a smile in his heart. Looking at his father's spring breezy expression, he almost suffocated his internal injuries.

In fact, this method is also what he just thought of. I didn't think it would work. It is estimated that when he returns home in the evening, he can ask for a few more prisoners.

Later, as the crowd entered, the huge king's tent was quickly filled.

Although Daliao still guards the etiquette of the Central Plains, under the influence of the grassland people, many aspects have changed. Like the family members of the officials of the major imperial courts, they had the privilege of drinking and feasting in the king's tent.

But in front of everyone, there was a small square table. And the dishes are also different due to the difference in status.

Li Chengji and Li Xiao sat behind Li Shichang in a proper manner. There are several square tables away from the two brothers, Shifter Chonga and Kombas.

Zhang Xinglu, Turgan and other sworn enemies sat in the seats opposite him. When you look at each other, you can also feel the malice of the other party.

It's just that Lee Seungji's attention is not on them. Because the girl who impressed him also appeared opposite him.

From the bottom of his heart, Li Chengji actually didn't feel how much he liked this woman. In the end, he is an uncle in his thirties, and he has passed the age of love at first sight. Even if you look immature on the outside, you can't change your psychological maturity.

It's just that the aura exuded by the girl's body reminds him of a modern wife. So unconsciously, somewhat fascinated.

Looking at it like this, he asked Li Chengye, who was sitting at the same table, "Big brother, which daughter is that girl in a light blue Confucian skirt?" Although he had guessed that it was from the Zhang family, he still wanted to confirm it.

Because the emperor was sympathetic to the Li family, Li Chengji's eldest brother was specially allowed by the emperor to attend the dinner. Hearing Li Chengji's question at this time, Li Chengye showed a wicked smile that all men understand, and quipped: "Yo! Second brother, don't you have a crush on that girl? ”。

"My Fair Lady, what a gentleman!" , Li Chengji generously admitted.

Li Chengye saw that it was not interesting, so he told the truth: "This is the fifth lady who knows Zhang Taiming, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan-Zhang Zhiqin. I heard that her mother is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the Great Song Dynasty, and she has an excellent appearance. He is especially good at the piano and has a unique talent.

Taught by her mother, her piano skills are also quite true.

As soon as she turned twelve this year, the matchmaker ran to her house. ”。

Sounds like this, which explains why Zhang Zhiqin has the unique Zhong Min and delicate aura of Jiangnan women.

Seeing Li Chengji's focused eyes, Li Chengye deliberately reminded again: "I said don't beat her idea!"

Now in the court, who doesn't know that his father and our father are mortal enemies.

In order to get the position of the privy envoy of the Southern Court, his father was bent on making friends with the privy envoy of the Northern Court.

Therefore, even if they are willing to marry a daughter, our father and mother will not agree. ”。

After all, the life of parents and the words of matchmakers are still deeply rooted at present. What kind of freedom of love and marital autonomy will only be regarded as crazy words.

Li Chengji listened, only feeling regretful.

But he believes that any resistance is to be broken. Once you have fearless power, then these obstacles are not resistance.
