On this day, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City are full of lights, the Great Dynasty will be the grand ceremony of the entire Tang Dynasty, the whole world celebrates, and the people are celebrating the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty from the heart.

There is a rich and powerful country in order for the people to live a stable life, although the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty is gradually gone, but the old people still remember that turbulent era, people are not as good as dogs, life is like mustard. The young people enjoyed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and listened to the old man talk about the turmoil of the past, but he still couldn't imagine what kind of dark era it was.

The Lin De Hall was solemnly and luxuriously arranged, Li Ergao sat on it, looking at the envoys of various countries who came to worship, and suddenly felt proud.

Even the Turks, who have always been unruly, and the distant Great Eclipse, Persia and other countries have also sent envoys to the court, which is an unprecedented glorious ceremony.

Empress Eldest Sun looked good today, with a phoenix crown and a graceful face, dignified and gentle, sitting beside Li Er with a smile on her face, and the other concubines and princesses were sitting on the seats specially prepared for them below.

The Great Dynasty Meeting is different from Li Er's birthday banquet, this is a grand ceremony of great significance, naturally it cannot be as casual as the birthday banquet, and the seating arrangements are strictly standardized.

Led by Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, on the left side of His Royal Highness is Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li Tai, the king of Wei and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and further west is the hundred officials of the Tang Dynasty headed by the eldest grandson Wuji, although Wang Xiang is the Marquis of Jiayuan, but the official position of the judge of the Gewu Academy is really inconspicuous on this occasion, and the position is very inconspicuous, but he doesn't care about these, he doesn't like the feeling of being eye-catching.

At the head of the right side of the main hall is the Turkic prince Bato, who seems to enjoy being in the first place, a symbol of status and status. Although there are also other vassal states that send princes and princesses over. But compared to the powerful Turks, they had no intention and did not dare to compete for the first place.

It's the end of the year. The temperature was unusually cold, the outside was already dripping into ice, and sitting in the hall, you could still hear the cold wind howling outside.

But the people sitting in the hall did not feel a trace of cold, but felt that the surroundings were warm, and some of the envoys of Fanbang wearing animal skin clothes even felt slightly hot.

Many of the envoys who came to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting had participated in Li Er's birthday banquet, and the weather was extremely hot on the day of the birthday banquet, but the Lin De Hall was cool and comfortable, and the cold wind outside today was biting. Lin De Hall was warm and pleasant, and he suddenly thought in his heart: Could it be that the Central Plains is really a blessed place, but it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

There are always people who will show the surprise in their hearts on their faces, and seeing the surprised expressions of the envoys of Fanbang, Li Er's heart is even more proud, how can the country of Shangbang be comparable to the barbarians of Fanbang!

In fact, the reason is very simple, Li Chengqian came to Wang Xiang for help last time for this matter.

During Li Er's birthday banquet, Wang Xiang asked people to place a lot of iron boxes for storing ice around the Linde Palace, but now it is only slightly modified into a large coal stove, the chimney leads to the outside of the hall, and someone specially adds coal mines from behind the large coal stove, to put it bluntly, it is just a super-large stove.

Coal mines are much more resistant to burning than wood. And the heat is sufficient, otherwise it will definitely not be able to supply such a large Linde Hall for heating by burning wood.

Of course, those envoys of the Fan State did not know this. Therefore, the cold wind outside is biting, but the inside is warm and pleasant, in their eyes is a mysterious thing, but all mysterious things always make people feel awe, and the lower the level of civilization, the more they believe in the gods, and the civilization level of Fanbang is obviously much lower than that of Datang.

At the beginning of the Great Dynasty Meeting, the representatives of the envoys of various states first paid tribute to Li Er and offered tribute, and the content of the tribute table was nothing more than praising Li Er and expressing his willingness to marry with the Tang Dynasty, and most of them would put the Tang Dynasty in a very high position.

Only the Turks finally presented tributes and tributes, but in words they put themselves on the same level as the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er looked at Tulu below, who was looking at him without flinching, and smiled slightly, and asked the guards to accept the Turkic tribute table and tribute.

"The Turks came to my Tang Dynasty to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting, and I am very pleased."

A faint sentence suddenly made Tulu's face change slightly, no matter how he pretended to be high-profile, since sending an envoy to the dynasty was already a show of weakness, besides, he was just a general of the Turks, and the person in front of him was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his actions just now were like clowns.

Li Er didn't seem to be angry, which made the other Fanbang envoys who were waiting to see the excitement very puzzled.

If Li Er still had scruples about the Turks before, now he didn't take the Turks in his eyes at all, and Yuan Tiangang had secretly created a large number of heavenly thunderbolts.

Tulu glanced at Takatayan as he retreated, and when he saw that his face was expressionless, he sat back in his place, because he was the representative of the Turkic mission, so his position was still in front of Takatayan.

Tulu's previous provocative actions were also instructed by Takatayan, he just wanted to see Li Er's reaction, if Li Er was angry on the spot, then it meant that Datang was no longer afraid of the Turkic threat, which was not a good thing for the Turks. If Li Er is forbearant in the face of Tulu's provocation, then it shows that Datang still has some scruples about the Turks.

However, Li Er's indifferent and disdainful expression made Takatayan's heart even more uneasy, the strength of the Turks is undoubted, and no one can not be moved by the iron cavalry, if the Tang Dynasty really disdains the Turks, then there is only one possibility, the Turkic iron cavalry can no longer threaten the Tang Dynasty.

So why is Datang so confident, Takatayan suddenly thought of the rumored powerful Tianleizi, Datang has mastered that kind of artifact!

The Turkic envoy sent out yesterday to inquire about the news brought him back a piece of news, in the first few months of the battle between the Tang army and the 300,000 troops in the Western Regions, there was a thunderstorm on the ground in Chang'an, and the description was very similar to the heavenly thunder that Tulu said, but the power was countless times greater, and most of Chang'an could hear the "thunder", and even the ground near the palace could feel the vibration.

Tulu's small gesture did not affect the atmosphere of the court, when the envoys of various countries finished the tribute table and finished the tribute, under the signal of Li Er, the bells and drums of the Lin De Hall rang in unison, and the wine and food were served one after another.

Eating and drinking are inevitable in any grand ceremony, and the same is true for the court, after the solemn worship is over, it is a relaxed and pleasant banquet, at this time, the envoys of Fanbang and the officials of the Tang Dynasty can speak freely.

Envoys from various countries gathered at the court, and the elites of all countries came with the mission, whether it was a big country or a small country, they all hoped to take this opportunity to show the excellence of their country, and if they were better than other countries in a certain aspect, it would be a great honor, which almost became a feature of the annual court meeting.

Perhaps they knew that this year's Daji would be different from previous years, and they were well prepared.

As soon as the song and dance performance ended, an envoy from a small country in Fanbang got up and said: "Recently, I have found a sacred object in the country of Mali, and I have brought it to you to watch. ”

It's finally begun. Wang Xiang smiled in his heart when he heard this, he had already heard about this feature of the Great Dynasty Meeting from Li Chengqian. (To be continued.) )
