The next day, Xu Ziling got up early, made a pot of tea, and before he had taken two sips, Ashina Xingyue came to Xu Ziling's room with food.

"What are you doing here so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer? Xu Ziling asked.

"How can a slave or maid get up later than his master? This is breakfast, you eat it while it's hot, don't wait for a while to rush to the court and don't have to eat it! Ashina Xingyue put the food in his hand on Xu Ziling's mahogany table.

"Oh!" Xu Ziling only teased this girl yesterday, I thought that this girl would be angry for two days, it seems that she filtered herself.

After eating the breakfast sent by Ashina Xingyue in three or two bites, seeing that the time was about the same, he said goodbye to Ashina Xingyue, and left Honglu Temple and walked towards Taiji Palace.

When he came to the Liangyi Palace, Xu Ziling found that no matter how early he came, this group of ministers would always be one step ahead of him, as if he hadn't slept all night last night.

He originally thought that today's court meeting should be the same as in the past, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji and other mainstays said some important things about governing the country, but who knew that Li Shimin did not give these people a chance.

As soon as he went to court, Li Shimin was the first to speak: "Where is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple?" ”

"Your Majesty is here!" Xu Ziling came out of the queue with a crumble board, unspeakably respectful.

"Have the envoys from Tuyuhun and Japan been arranged?" Li Shimin asked.

"It's done, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it." Xu Ziling replied.

"Well, these days the envoys of various countries will arrive in Chang'an one after another, and the envoys of various countries will pay tribute after four days, these days you have to entertain the envoys well, don't make a stubble, make people laugh at my Tang Dynasty for not being well entertained!" Li Shimin said.

Damn, that is to say, Lao Tzu will accompany the group of uncles in Honglu Temple for four or five days? Accompany you! If I don't scrape you out of a layer of skin, I'll be sorry for myself.

"Hehe, naturally, the subordinates will definitely promote my Tang Dynasty style, take care of the brother country, let them come happily and leave with peace of mind!" Xu Ziling Road.

"Brotherly countries? Kindness...... Interesting! Li Shimin said with a smile.

After explaining all the things about Xu Ziling, Li Shimin began to discuss some major affairs of the family and the country with Fang Xuanling, such as how to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

Li Shimin's court meeting was very meaningful, the emperor listened to his subordinates, and his subordinates also put forward many meaningful suggestions for national construction, and then everyone decided whether it was suitable for current affairs.

After a court meeting, Xu Ziling listened in a daze, anyway, he was not good at these family and country affairs, this was all done by a humerus minister like Fang Xuanling, Xu Ziling himself knew how many catties he had.

It was already afternoon when I returned to Honglu Temple, and the lunch was squatted at the gate of the Liangyi Palace, not to mention, the scene was like more than a thousand beggars in official uniforms, begging for food outside the rich palace, not to mention how embarrassing.

The last dynasty was also very difficult! Xu Ziling sighed sincerely.

Back at Honglu Temple, Xu Ziling found that envoys from many countries had arrived one after another, such as Gaochang and Xue Yantuo......

In the past four days, Xu Ziling basically did nothing else, he was accompanying this group of people to eat and drink, chatting and cutting the earth, and introducing them to some customs such as humanities and architecture of the Tang Dynasty one by one.

The position of envoy is not something that ordinary people can hold, and those who can send envoys to various countries are definitely the officials who can fool the most in their own countries, such as when they started a war with the Turks, Tang Jian is a good example.

Flickering is only one of the aspects, whether you can sit on this official or not, the main thing depends on whether you are on the road, the envoys of these countries have become human spirits, and they always know when and what method to stuff money for Xu Ziling, a group of vampires in Honglu Temple.

At first, Xu Ziling was not adaptable, and he would always shyly symbolically refuse, but in the end, he simply did not refuse, he just gave it, anyway, none of these people said anyone, they were all shameless.

That Lai Xianren even slept with a servant girl under the Japanese envoy, but for this kind of behavior, Xu Ziling still agreed, and deeply praised the hard work of the Lai Xianren and dedicated himself to the Tang Dynasty.

Four days passed in a blink of an eye, and Honglu Temple went up to Shaoqing Xu Ziling, and down to the head of the pawn family, and the pockets were full.

All nations came to the court, spontaneously paid homage to His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, what an honor, today Li Shimin put on a very formal crown dragon robe, accepted this proud honor, and the ministers waited neatly in the hall in the morning.

With the words of the chamberlain: "All nations pay tribute......"

The envoys of these countries entered the Liangyi Hall in a uniform manner under the leadership of Xu Ziling and other Honglu Temple officials.

After bringing people in, Xu Ziling and the others consciously returned to their own positions and stood still.

I only heard this group of envoys shouting as if they had discussed it: "Your Majesty the Honorable Heavenly Khan, Japan, Gaochang, Tuyuhun, and Kangguo...... Come to pay tribute, and I hope that the generations will respect His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, the Heavenly Khan, under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Khan, and never betray. ”

These scenes are naturally nicely spoken, and didn't the Turks say the same thing? In the end, isn't it still a soldier in Weishui? You have to beat these people to death militarily so that they don't betray you!

Xu Ziling knows that the condition for not betraying is because you have not yet betrayed the capital, and now the national strength, army, and economy of the Tang Dynasty are all in full swing, but you want to betray one?

Next, each country introduced the things they paid tribute this time one by one, which were nothing more than some gold and silver treasures, mink cattle and sheep, blood ginseng and deer antler velvet, and other things that sounded tall and could not be high.

However, Tuyuhun paid tribute more specially, and paid tribute to hundreds of Qinghai horses, which are all good horses that travel thousands of miles a day, so it can be regarded as the most powerful country in this tribute.

However, the strength of the country is strong or weak, this tribute is just a piece of heart, there is no good or bad, so Li Shimin doesn't care, he has a smile on his face, and he is the happiest person today.

All countries come to the dynasty and are honored as the Khan of the Heavens, that is not a sign that he reflects that he Li Shimin is the ruler of the world, look, how correct it is to hand over the Tang Dynasty to me Li Shimin.

Li Shimin laughed out loud, his bearing was extraordinary, and he said: "Okay, tonight there will be a banquet in the palace, and I will personally receive the envoys of various countries!" ”

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Khan, it is said that the Tang Dynasty has made a batch of siege weapons, and the walls of the place where they passed are completely destroyed, and there is no grass growing, and it is still early for the evening meal, I wonder if we will have the honor to visit the thing called gunpowder?" It was Apricot who spoke, and there was humility in her words.

Xu Ziling frowned, it seems that this group of people is really not as simple as simply coming to pay tribute, this girl said humbly, and praised Li Shiminhai, how could Li Shimin, who loves face, refuse? Xu Ziling couldn't help but be faintly worried.
