On this day, Li Xian hosted a banquet in Hanyuan Hall for envoys from various countries, relatives of the emperor, civil and military ministers, and female dependents. Originally, this was a routine every year, but today the ministers discovered a strange thing, Zhang Bao'er, the waiter of the Criminal Department, had been busy all the time, just because Li Xian gave him a nondescript errand - the banquet manager.

Speaking of which, this banquet manager was not imposed on Zhang Baoer by Li Xian, but won by Zhang Baoer himself, his purpose is very simple, that is, to make a name for the Cen family's business, for this day, Zhang Baoer and Cen Shaobai have been planning and preparing for a long time.

First of all, Li Xian received envoys from various countries, and envoys of various colors and appearances visited the Tang Dynasty in turn.

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it has attached great importance to the relationship with the surrounding countries, and there are more than 70 countries that have interacted with the Tang Dynasty. Many people from other countries also live in Chang'an, walking on the wide road of Chang'an, where cars are flowing like dragons, and they will meet Turkic people, Western Regions people, Persian people, big cannibals, Fula people, Silla people, Tianzhu people, Zhenla people, and Biguo people at any time...... Among them are ministers, envoys, merchants, monks, craftsmen, singers, and even Kunlun slaves who are "black as ink, red lips and white teeth".

In such a solemn scene of receiving envoys from various countries, Zhongzong Li Xian did not sit on the dragon chair as usual, but sat on the chariot carried by six palace maids.

These palace maids are specially selected, and their beauty is needless to say, they are dressed in costumes, although their steps are a little scattered, but they are warm and cheerful, avoiding the same pace of machinery and stiffness, and they are full of human feelings.

This pomp and circumstance was carefully arranged by Zhang Baoer, which was to let the envoys of various countries see the grandeur of the Tang Emperor, who was not only rich, but also rich in beauties, and even used beauties to do the energetic work of carrying a chariot. The beauties are well fed and warm, and some have strength, the petite beauties carry the rather obese emperor, and easily carry the chariot, and they can't see the feeling of panting, who said that women in the Tang Dynasty are not as good as men.

Standing at the forefront of the envoys of various countries is the ceremonial officer of the imperial court, who is responsible for leading the envoys to guide Jin to meet the Tang Dynasty. He has a bearded face, a calm and capable demeanor, and the demeanor of a Tang official, a red official uniform echoes the red skirt of a beautiful woman, with rhythm and not dazzling. The envoys of various countries were full of humility and awe for the Tang Emperor, and they looked a little nervous, not just a little nervous, but really nervous.

After some courtesy, Li Xian gave seats to the envoys of various countries and instructed them, and the interpreter of the Ministry of Rites translated the words of the Tang Dynasty Emperor to the envoys of various countries in an orderly manner.

As soon as Li Xian's lecture was finished, an envoy suddenly stood up, he took out something, and said a big call to the interpreter, although the ministers did not know what he was talking about, but they could see that the tone of the other party's speech was very arrogant.

The interpreter was smiling at first, but then his face turned green.

Li Xian also saw that something was wrong, and he asked the interpreter, "What did this envoy say?" ”

The interpreter didn't dare to say anything for a long time.

Li Xian was angry, and said with a sinking face: "Translate for me truthfully!" ”

Seeing that Li Xian's face was not good, the interpreter didn't dare to slack off, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy showed the Buddha's tooth, the national treasure of Tubo, and he said that the thing left by the Buddha to them is extremely hard, and the thing that hits them is unstoppable. If Datang is not convinced, you can send someone to try! ”

It was the Tibetan envoy Qi Lixu who spoke just now, he came to the Tang Dynasty with the prince of Tubo and Zhu Dan, and no one expected him to suddenly make such a move.

The ministers were suddenly silent, this was clearly calling out to the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Zhongzong!

Li Xian did not show weakness, and immediately announced that he would recruit talents in Chang'an City, no matter who it was, if he could smash the Buddha's teeth of the Tubo people, he would be rewarded.

Li Xian's holy decree attracted men, women, and children from all over Chang'an City, but no one was able to break the Buddha's tooth.

Kili Xu was triumphant and even more arrogant.

When Li Xian saw this situation, he was angry and didn't take my Datang seriously, he was angry, but the facts were there, but he was helpless.

Zhang Bao'er also frowned at this time, although the Tubo envoy did this with some game elements, but if they succeeded, it would be a big blow to Datang's face.

At this moment, Chen Xuanli quietly walked up to Zhang Bao'er and whispered: "Lord Zhang, the Purun host of Ci'en Temple wants to see you outside the palace gate!" ”

It is a major event for His Majesty to receive envoys from various countries, so it is natural to strengthen the vigilance in the palace, Chen Xuanli personally took the Yulin Army to inspect around the palace, and happened to meet Purun outside the palace gate. If it was in the past, Chen Xuanli would have driven people away a long time ago, but when he heard that the person Purun wanted to see was Zhang Baoer, Chen Xuanli changed his mind and came to report to Zhang Baoer, after all, he still owed Zhang Baoer a favor.

Zhang Baoer hurriedly came to the outside of the palace, and sure enough, she saw Purun.

Purun didn't talk to Zhang Baoer for a long time, and when Zhang Baoer appeared in Hanyuan Hall again, he was already relaxed.

Zhang Bao'er quietly walked up to Li Longji, handed Li Longji something, and said a few words to Li Longji.

Li Longji looked at Zhang Bao'er with suspicious eyes, Zhang Bao'er smiled at him, and Li Longji nodded emphatically.

Princess Taiping's seat was not far from Li Longji, and Zhang Bao'er and Li Longji's every move fell in her eyes, although Princess Taiping didn't know what they said, she concluded that there must be something unusual in it.

Sure enough, it seemed that in order to confirm Princess Taiping's guess, just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that there was no hope, Li Longji suddenly stood up, he walked up to Qi Lixu, and said with a smile: "Don't pretend to be a ghost here, and use the relics of the Buddha to deceive you, are you bullying me Datang no one?" Let me teach you a lesson! ”

With that, Li Longji took out something from his arms and knocked it down heavily on the Buddha's tooth.

Li Xian and the ministers widened their eyes, and the hall instantly became silent.

Qili Xu thought that his things were indestructible, but unexpectedly, under the severe blow of the thing in Li Longji's hand, he was shattered in response.

Seeing this scene, the ministers immediately cheered.

Qili Xu was embarrassed, and said deeply to Li Xian: "Convinced, Datang is really full of talents, and the heavenly khan is shengming!" ”

Li Longji greatly gained face for Datang, which made Li Xianlong's face happy, and he beckoned to Li Longji: "San Lang, tell me quickly, how did you break this Buddha tooth?" ”
