Chapter 350: Princess Xian'an

According to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, Mo Luoge built an incense altar to welcome the edict of the kingdom in the open space in front of the main hall of the king's tent, and various etiquettes were in place, so that Li Mao, a layman, could not see any flaws.

Li Mao asked the accompanying Honglu Temple officials to pick thorns, and a group of people went up and down several times, and circled around the incense altar twice, and came back to report that everything was in accordance with the etiquette.

Zhang Qi quietly told Li Mao that these Honglu Temple officials had accepted bribes from the Uighurs when they inspected the Yingtian incense altar, and that their personal bags still contained gold beads bribed by the Uighurs.

Li Mao looked at it, and the waists of several people were indeed slightly bulging.

"Damn, dare to take such money."

Zhang Qi's foul language won Li Mao's heart.

Standing on the high altar of incense, looking down on the magnates of a country prostrate at his feet, Li Mao's mood was extremely comfortable, and his speech was unusually clear and smooth when reciting the edict.

After the edict was read, the new khan stepped forward in full costume, knelt in front of the Tang Qincha, took the book and the golden seal from Li Mao's hand, took a few steps back respectfully, turned around and raised the book and the golden seal, and a thunderous cheer suddenly sounded under the incense altar.

At the moment when Tengli Yehe Khan knelt down in front of Li Mao to receive the book and the golden seal, Li Mao's still heart was as calm as water, and the master of the grassland knelt at his feet at this moment, although it was only a moment on a specific occasion, the impact on his soul was incomparable.

The emperor of the Central Plains with a princess and relatives, ceded the land, and enveloped the grassland with unequal tributary trade, many times for the vanity of this moment, everyone knows that this is vanity, but everyone is immersed in it and can't extricate themselves, especially for the emperor who owns the world, this temptation is even more irresistible, the money is there, the woman has it, the identity has it, the status has it, and the merit has it, what he lacks is not the false name before his life and the centuries after him?

At the end of the canonization ceremony, Tengli Yehe Khan held a grand reception for the envoys of the kingdom who came from afar, thanked the tribal chieftains and high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the court who supported him, and entertained the guests and wives and wives of the great chiefs.

The most indispensable thing on the grassland is space, the royal court of the Uighur Khan occupies an unusually large area, the area of the royal tent is staggering, the open space in front of the "Hanyuan Palace" can not be seen at a glance, and it takes half an hour before and after riding a horse to turn around.

The towering incense altar was demolished by thousands of slaves and ants in less than a stick of incense after the canonization ceremony, leaving no traces, and the flat open space was paved with all kinds of carpets, different noble and low ranks, different colors and patterns, different sizes and shapes, and the elite of the entire khanate sat here at this moment, toasting to celebrate the birth of the new master of the grassland.

Li Mao drank a lot of wine, but he was a little unaccustomed to drinking the milk wine of the grassland, and he was a little dizzy at one point, so he vomited in the toilet, relieved himself, and ate some rice and flour food at the bottom, feeling better.

In the following banquet, Li Maobing came to cover up the water, saw the seams, sowed discord, joined forces vertically and horizontally, turned enemies into friends, fell into the well, instigated a counteroffensive, and effectively defended the dignity of the Tang Dynasty on the special battlefield of the wine table.

After the banquet, the Khan sent his eldest son and the prime minister Yu Si to send Li Mao to your hotel to sleep, because of the existence of Xiaoru, the reception party was very entangled for a while, whether to let the Tang Qin Cha see the unique customs of the children of the grassland, this is really a problem, it is the mission judge Qin Mo who relieved them.

Qin Mo told the reception party that the Tang Qincha admired the charm of the young girl of your country deep down, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to see the unique style of the beauties of your country, but the customs in the Tang Dynasty did not like to be too indulgent in the affairs of men and women, although the minister of the Qin Mission was yearning, but he had to take into account the influence of the country, so he ......

While everyone was feeling regret, Qin Mo coughed twice more and said, "For the sake of the friendship between the two countries, and for the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs, it can continue from generation to generation...... (1,500 words omitted here)"

Everyone was overjoyed, and sent Qin Mo to sleep in the Baihualou of the State Guest House.

On the second day of the canonization ceremony, Li Mao, on behalf of the Tang Emperor Li Chun and the new Uighur Khan, held consultations on some specific issues of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Li Mao seized the opportunity to propose that the two countries send permanent envoys to each other in order to safeguard the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of their own business travelers. There were many merchants from the Tang Dynasty in the royal city of the Uighurs, as well as from Chang'an, Luoyang, and the Uighurs, and this proposal was mutually beneficial, and the Tengli Yehe Khan had no reason to refuse. However, he also stated that the envoys must abide by the laws and customs of the host country, and must not engage in any actions that harm the host country.

This is in line with diplomatic practice, and Li Mao readily agreed.

Although the Uighurs were called khanates, their political system still bears the imprint of the tribal era, and all major matters in the country required the consent of a large council of tribal elders, whose members were all Uighur chiefs.

Such a council could effectively avoid decision-making mistakes caused by personal arbitrariness, but the lengthy proceedings caused it to be criticized, and Li Mao had no choice but to stay in the Uighur court for the time being, waiting patiently.

Li Mao waited in your hotel for two days, and was very bored, and suddenly proposed to meet the widowed Princess Xian'an.

Li Mao's identity on this trip was both a canonization envoy and a condolence envoy, and he met Princess Xian'an in front of the spirit of Huaixin Khan, and expressed the Tang Emperor's sincere condolences to her, but the meeting was courteous, because many high-ranking Uighur officials were present, and Li Mao could not discuss sensitive topics with Princess Xian'an.

It was not until the third day that Li Mao had the opportunity to visit the Tang Dynasty Princess Xian'an, who was married to a foreign country, Princess Xian'an was the stepmother of Tengli Yehe Khan, and she gave birth to a son and a daughter for Huaixin Khan.

The princess has been married to the grassland for nearly 20 years, has served four khans before and after, has served four khaduns, and has high prestige among subjects and magnates.

But the voice of the clan hoping that he would marry Princess Xian'an still existed, and Tengli Yehe Khan was very distressed about this, and he asked Li Mao for help, hoping that Li Mao could persuade the Tang princess that she would take the initiative not to marry. (Dissertation College)
