Most of the time, Li Shimin is not an emotional person, and after experiencing the changes of Xuanwumen, he has locked his feelings deeply into his heart.

In order to prove that what he did was not wrong, since he ascended the throne, Li Shimin has worked hard and did not dare to slack off, he felt that only when the Tang Dynasty became more and more prosperous in his hands could he be worthy of the countless heroic souls under the Xuanwu Sect.

There is such an experience, so even in the face of the favorite prince Li Shimin will not be particularly close, in the eyes of the princes Li Shimin is a majestic father, not a loving father, I have to say that this is Li Shimin's sorrow, as the emperor's sorrow, he is rich in the world but only can not get the most ordinary admiration for ordinary people.

Wang Xiang instigated the prince and princess to perform a stage play, which seemed to him to be a bastard, but it was very caring, and at this time he suddenly wanted to enjoy this rare admiration very greedily.

"That's it, I'll settle accounts with you after the birthday banquet is over!"

Wang Xiang, who was guiding the princess and princess in rehearsals, didn't know that he had been remembered by Li Er.

In June, the lotus flowers are full of flowers, the Jinguang Lake is full of huge lotus flowers, the whole Chang'an City is celebrating, His Majesty's birthday, the whole world celebrates.

The envoys of the vassal state of Fanbang enter the Taiji Palace by the Xuanwu Gate, and then introduce the eunuchs into the Daming Palace by the invitation of the birthday banquet, the Daming Palace is located in the back garden on the east side of the Taiji Palace, it was built with Zhenguan for eight years, it was originally the summer palace built by Li Er for Li Yuan, and then used as a banquet.

Lin De Hall is located in a high ground in the west of the Taiye Pond of Daming Palace, is formed by the close connection of four halls before and after, the scale is the most of the group of halls, 3,000 people can sit in front of the hall and under the corridor, Li Er often holds palace banquets here, watch music and dance performances, meet the activities of the envoys.

In order to show respect for Li Er, the palace is not allowed to ride a horse or take a carriage, Taiji Palace is not close to Daming Palace, Lin De Hall is built on the high ground, the scorching sun, the envoys to the Lin De Palace when they have already sweated like rain.

The courtiers are no better, they have also come all the way, at this time they are all waiting outside the Lin De Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji stands at the head of the ministers, bowing his head and looking like an old monk is settled, as if he can't feel the scorching sun. Lao Cheng was not so calm, the big slap of the pu fan fanned the wind hard, and his mouth kept shouting: "I am hot to death Lao Cheng, why don't you open the temple door on this hot day." ”

Wei Chi Jingde is even more afraid of heat than Lao Cheng, who let him be black, and heard Cheng bite Jin's complaining urn and said: "If this is a banquet in Dengxian Tower, it will be comfortable." ”

"How many people can sit in that place in Dengxian Tower." Lao Cheng shook his head.

There is no trivial matter in the royal family, not to mention that it is Li Er's birthday banquet, so everything is exquisite, and the palace door will naturally not open until the hour is over, no matter how much you complain, you still have to wait honestly outside.

Wang Xiang, as the head of the birthday banquet, took advantage of his duties to bring Wu Shun and Xiao Lori into the palace a long time ago.

While everyone was drowsy, a shrill voice shouted, "Open the temple door!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the tall and majestic hall slowly opened, and a cool breeze blew on the face, which suddenly made everyone feel comfortable and shake their bodies.

Entering the hall, it is as if you have come to another world, the outside is unbearable hot, but the inside is cool and comfortable, and the envoys of the Fanbang vassal countries are amazed, which is too amazing for them.

"Haha, this must have been made by Zixin's kid, yes, yes, I like it." Cheng Biting Jin smiled very comfortably.

After the exclamation, the envoys were stunned again, Li Er's birthday banquet was exquisite, even the seats were not random to sit indiscriminately, in previous years, they were all rows of small tables, everyone was already familiar with their position, but what they saw today was completely different from previous years, not rows of small tables, but tall and gorgeous round tables, and a circle of chairs with backrests around the round table.

When everyone was at a loss, Li Er came out of the inner hall with the eldest grandson empress, and the ministers and envoys from various countries saluted Li Er and congratulated him.

Li Eryi changed his previous seriousness, smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, let's all take a seat." ”

After speaking, he and Empress Changsun sat down at the most luxurious round table above, and the rest of the concubines also sat around the round table.

Immediately, the palace maid guided the ministers and envoys below to take their seats.

Wang Xiang took Wu Shun and Xiao Lori to sit at a table in the corner, this was Li Er's birthday banquet, and he didn't want to be in the limelight.

Wu Shun and Xiao Lori are both participating in such a grand banquet for the first time, Wu Shun is quite calm, but Xiao Lori is not so peaceful, looking east and west seems to be very excited.

"What about the childish slave, why didn't you see the childish slave?"

"He's in the inner sanctuary and the other princes and princesses preparing to perform."

When Li Er announced the start of the banquet, a dazzling array of delicacies were served on the table, and the envoys of Fanbang who were watching were dumbfounded.

The food culture of the Central Plains is not comparable to these Fanbang vassal countries, not to mention that this banquet also used Wang Xiang's small vegetable garden, and the guests were naturally pleasantly surprised, and they all praised the wealth and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Er was very comfortable when he heard it.

During the interval between the singing and dancing performances, the envoys presented the most precious gifts to Li Er, and the gifts given before were all ordinary gifts, and the most precious ones should be offered in person at the birthday banquet.

For these Fanbang vassal countries, no matter how precious the gift is, they will not suffer, because a state like Datang will always give back more benefits to them, which is a very strange phenomenon, at least Wang Xiang does not understand Li Er's approach, but Li Er seems to enjoy this feeling of giving others very much.

The envoys who presented the gifts were all rewarded by Li Er, and they were all satisfied, and they would definitely be rewarded by the king when they returned to China with these rewards, and the envoys to the Tang Dynasty could not only get warm hospitality but also easily make meritorious contributions, which was really beautiful, no wonder there was a big thing, and the vassal countries of the Fan State also sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to congratulate them.

"Brother-in-law, why are you shaking your head?" Little Lori shook her head when she saw Wang Xiang and asked curiously.

"I'm just thinking about Your Majesty's reward, I don't know how much food it will cost Datang."

Xiao Lori said nonchalantly: "Datang is rich, what does it matter if you reward them with some money and food." ”

Wang Xiang smiled and didn't say much, when an envoy caught Wang Xiang's attention.

"Your Majesty the Great Tang Emperor, I am Matsudaira Ichiro, who came across the ocean from the distant country of Fusang, and I admire the culture and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty very much, and I implore His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to allow my Fusang envoy to stay in the Tang Dynasty to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty."

Little Japan? Wang Xiang frowned, could this be the so-called Tang envoy?

Li Er laughed heartily when he heard Matsudaira Ichiro's words, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty had spread overseas, which made him feel very satisfied.

"Since the Fusang envoy is so interested in my Tang culture, I will help you set up a post house, so that you can learn my Tang culture with peace of mind in the future."

Matsudaira Ichiro was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for the grace of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." ”
