With the eight little eunuchs singing in unison, the great court meeting on the first day of the eleventh year of Tianbao finally began, and nearly 2,000 people poured into the world's unique and largest Hanyuan Palace, and stood in various positions under the guidance of the little eunuchs and officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Xiao Qubing and Xerxes were better, standing at the innermost part of the Hanyuan Palace, Li Sheng and Gu Xiaojun were behind, and Ma Sui was still standing outside the hall.

After everyone stood still, wearing a bright yellow crown, they walked into the Hanyuan Hall with square steps, and after sitting down on the throne, the ministers and envoys of various countries under the leadership of Prime Minister Li Linfu shouted three times and bowed down.

Li Longji sat on the throne, looked at the 2,000 officials and envoys who knelt neatly in the main hall, and the more than 10,000 people kneeling on the ground outside the hall and in the square, and listened to nearly 20,000 people shouting "I wish Your Majesty a long life and boundless" at the same time, and he only felt that the whole world was bowing at his feet, and a supreme sense of accomplishment and satisfaction arose!

The number of people at this year's court meeting was several thousand more than in previous years, and the thirty-six countries west of the Green Ridge came to the DPRK together, and after the great victory in the river, they shocked the crowd of Hu, and the Hui Hui, who had wanted to go east and west before, did not dare to speak up again this time;

What made Li Longji even happier was that a few days ago, the envoy of Tubo finally arrived, confirmed the death of Tubo Zampu Chidezu Zan, informed Tubo of the accession of the new Zampu Trisong Dezan, and asked Tubo Zampu and the Tang Emperor to continue to maintain the relationship between his nephew and uncle.

Hehe, how is it possible, you Tubo is about to be wiped out by my Tang Dynasty, how can I, who is almost seventy years old, be a nephew and uncle with a child who is less than ten years old? Li Longji decided to take a tough stance and refused in court at the court meeting, and then ordered Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan to march in two ways. Within five years. Completely eliminate the great trouble of Tibet!

Li Longji was complacent and declared that he would be exempt from courtesy. Everyone returned to their respective positions, and Li Linfu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, stood up again, took out a congratulatory note from his arms, and read it out loud.

The great and glorious Tang Dynasty has made great achievements in the past year, with the population growing and taxes growing; Because of the wisdom and greatness of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The whole Tang Dynasty is in good weather, and the people have enough food and clothing, and they are grateful to Dade.

After talking about people's livelihood, Li Linfu immediately changed the conversation and talked about the three major wars last year. In April, Jiannan Jiedu made a crusade against Nanzhao, although he did not do his best, but he still beat Nanzhao to kneel and beg for mercy, so he let them go; In August, the king of Dongping conquered the Khitan. Although there were small setbacks, in the end they turned defeat into victory. Beat the Khitan and Xi far away for hundreds of miles.

Then there was the battle of Hezhong and the battle of Mulu, 20,000 Anxi troops and 14,000 Gelulu, and the Ningyuan army together almost completely annihilated (including the uprising, surrender, and capture) of more than 200,000 large cannibals, drove away the vicious big cannibals, expanded the territory for more than 4,000 miles, and captured nearly 6,000 worth of booty.

All of this is because of the blessing of the Tang Emperor and his blessing. These two battles have played the majesty of Datang and the momentum of Datang. The past year has been a glorious year, a glorious year, the whole world is shrouded in the grace of the Tang Emperor, under the grace of His Majesty the Emperor, the entire Tang Dynasty will be prosperous, glorious through the ages.

I don't know which Hanlin Jinshi wrote it, a piece of prose was written gorgeously, and Li Linfu also read it out with emotion, but in fact, Xiao Quzhi almost didn't understand it, and he vaguely heard that Nanzhao and the Northeast were both big victories, and there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, a big victory? Dare to say that the whole army is annihilated?

After the prime minister's congratulatory table was read, it was read out by the deputy prime minister Chen Xilie who selected a congratulatory table for local high-ranking officials and vassal states, and then it was the main event, adhering to the principle of first outside and then inside, by the tributary states, vassal states, vassal states, state officials, and Chang'an officials to the Tang Emperor to offer tribute gifts.

In previous years, when it came to this link, it was the time when Li Longji, who loved fun and novelty, was most interested, but this year, the Anxi army moved almost the entire gold, silver and treasures of Hezhong and Khorasan back to Chang'an.

If you talk about gold and silver utensils, jewelry and jade, how can they compare to the batch that piled up on Danfengmen Square more than half a month ago; If you talk about novelty, where can it compare to the eight glass lamps presented by Xiao Quai?

Xiao Quzhi also looked at these various and strange tribute gifts with great interest, what kind of Sri Buddha deceased messenger took a few beautiful feathers and said that it was a phoenix feather, Li Longji actually believed it? And what kind of envoy from the country of Sulu took a piece of black wood and used it as a treasure?

There are also many countries that are too small to be smaller, and they have never heard the name of Li Longji to give gifts, and it is very difficult to communicate, and it is only through four or five translations that they can understand it.

Xiao Quai's illness listened to the low voice of the Tang officials next to him and realized that these were some small tribes from various islands in South Asia, and the merchant ship that took the big cannibal to Guangzhou came once a year, and after receiving a lot of rewards, he went back happily.

Xiao Qubing couldn't help but think in his heart, he had already negotiated a comprehensive cooperation with Xiao Hua, with the shipbuilding strength and technology of the Xiao family in Lanling, as well as Aliyi's guidance on communication, and when Lao Tzu built a ship, he would fight all the way along the coastline, but I was afraid that next year, the year after that, there would be dozens fewer of these so-called "countries" that came to the court.

Datang is really easy to deceive, a tribe of hundreds, thousands of people, just take a name, take a little garbage can cheat a lot of rewards from Datang, silk, porcelain, crop seeds, labor tools, living utensils, etc.

Xiao Quzhi thought like this, and heard a familiar and excited voice, and said loudly: "Hui Khanate presents a pair of crystal cups, a pair of golden bowls, and a pair of golden bottles...... I wish His Majesty the Heavenly Khan an an extended life and a long life! ”

Crystal cups?

Xiao Quzhi turned his head to look over, only to see that the prince of Hui was holding these two long colorless transparent glasses in his hands, and looked around the entire hall with a proud face.

Yidi Jian is full of confidence in his tribute, other golden bowls, golden bottles, horses, etc. are also ordinary, but this pair of colorless and transparent crystal cups is an heirloom that his father Khan spent a lot of money and promised a large grassland to get from the chiefs of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu for a while, green glasses are common, but such fine and colorless crystal cups are rare in the world!

Sure enough, except for the Tang Emperor, who only nodded slightly, when the other people in the hall saw it, their eyes were a little straight, and Yi Dijian obviously felt that the people around him took a long breath.

Xiao Quzhi also noticed that the ministers and envoys of various countries looked at this pair of glasses with uneven thickness and many bubbles as if they were looking at priceless treasures, and said with a smile in his heart, Yidi Jian, Yidi Jian, aren't you unlucky, so you don't die, what glass do you want to send as a tribute.

That's fine, there is a contrast to be shocking, and when my ten glasses with handles and the two-foot-long, one-foot-high glass dragon Canglong are taken out, they won't blind your dog's eyes? (To be continued.) )

PS: ps: Thank you hspansheng for the reward of 10,000 starting coins, to be honest, when I was ready to type at night, I was really taken aback, I was flattered, and I had to get an extra chapter out of the night.
