The palace was opened in nine days, and all the nations were crowned with crowns

The drums are beating, the night is deep, and most of the people who have been watching for more than half a night on Chinese New Year's Eve have fallen asleep, but Xiao Quai, Li Sheng, Gu Xiaojun and they must get up early to prepare for the dynasty, and even the twelve-year-old Persian prince Xerxes had to be pulled out of bed by Xiao Quai.

Nine days to open the palace, all countries to worship the crown, is not just a simple talk, the Yuan day of the great court meeting, is the Tang Empire in a year of the most solemn celebration.

Not only must all the officials above the seventh rank in Chang'an go to the court, but the local officials from all over the country must also send envoys or themselves to Beijing to congratulate them, and even the distant prefectures and vassal states, including Japan, Silla, Bohae, Linyi and other vassal states, must also send people to send gifts to congratulate.

The Tang Empire, the Tang Emperor used this method to declare to the world that the Tang Emperor is the only emperor in the Eastern world, and the Tang people have the highest power and are the only world center; The kings or monarchs of all countries must submit to the rule of the Tang Emperor, and the entire Eastern world is the world of the Tang Emperor.

The Mansion of Liang Guo and Daming Palace are not too far away, and the group rode horses and soon came to Danfeng Gate to look at their watches, it was not yet five o'clock. Seeing from afar that the lights in front of the Danfeng Gate were bright, and the crowds were surging, the Jinwu guards were divided into five teams, holding thick books in their hands, and they were carefully checking the identity of each official who was about to enter the Daming Palace.

Looking at the thousands of people crowded at the gate of Danfeng from a distance, except for the servants dressed up, a small half of the other officials were not dressed in Tang official uniforms, and they wore any clothes, and their appearances and hairstyles were also varied. You don't have to ask. These are all envoys of various countries.

Sure enough, it is the crown of all nations. When I used to read this poem, I didn't think anything of it, but now when I see the awe and reverence in the eyes of these envoys of various countries, I can't help but feel a sense of pride from the inside out.

Xiao Quzhi suddenly thought that before the crossing, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs once said that China has also been the world's leader in history, and it has been more than a hundred years.

Xiao Quzhi felt that China at this time. Not only is he the boss of the world, but also the king of kings in East and Central Asia, which Chinese civilization can radiate!

In this prosperous world, how can you sit back and watch it be destroyed by the hands of Xiao Xiaohu Clown! Li Longji, you continue to be drunk and dream of death, and favor traitors and rebels! This country, this prosperous world, you don't cherish it, you don't value it, let me guard it for you!

That's what I thought. Over there, Linghu Liuyun and a few people were already coming over with two boxes, and Xiao Quzhi opened the box and took a look. took Li Sheng, Xerxes and others into the Daming Palace.

Because they had been in charge of Jin Wuwei for a period of time before, these soldiers all recognized Xiao Quai, and quickly checked their identities, and Jin Wuwei and the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army stood together and saluted.

Xiao Qubing and his entourage walked into the long doorway of Danfeng Gate under the sideways gaze of the lower-ranking Tang officials and envoys from various countries around them. When Xiao Quzhi heard that there were some people who didn't know him, they turned their heads and inquired one after another, and then they were immediately ridiculed by others.

"You don't even know that? The god of war of the Tang Dynasty, the youngest founding father. ”

"I heard that he is still a disciple of the Immortal Family, the righteous brother of the Tang Emperor's favorite concubine, and he is unspeakably expensive!"

"The husband should be like this!" Xiao Qubing heard it, this is what the little Japanese devil ape Fei Jinsan said.

Well, if you have ambition, I'll be waiting for you.

Walking through the Danfeng Gate, it is a large square with a depth of more than 400 steps, this Yuan Day Dynasty Meeting, the number of people may be 20,000, more people do not have the opportunity to enter the Hanyuan Palace, and then they will stand in this square.

Fortunately, his party all have titles, and even the lowest Li Tianxi is also a county, and he is on the fifth grade. Xiao Quzhi looked up at the towering Hanyuan Hall and the majestic Xiangluan Pavilion on both sides like the wings of a giant bird, and had to admire the wisdom of the ancients and the atmosphere of the Tang people.

Hanyuan Hall is China and even the world, from ancient times to the present the tallest and grandest palace, is located on the three-story platform, the temple base alone is higher than the Danfengmen Square below a full fifty feet (fifteen meters), Hanyuan Hall is condescending, open two wings, give people the feeling that the hall is huge, personal insignificance.

In turn, it reflects the supremacy of imperial power, the sacred solemnity of the empire, and the sacred dignity of the Yuan Palace. Even if he came from later generations and was accustomed to seeing skyscrapers, Xiao Quai, walking on the wide and long Longwei Road, also sprouted a sense of solemnity and reverence in his heart.

Xiao Quai's illness was thinking about the ancient times, just walked on the Longwei Road, but was stopped by someone, and immediately wanted to be angry, even if Lao Tzu was cut off from military power, he was still a dignified countryman.

But when you look up, you can see that it is Wang Chengen, the envoy, who is enshrined.

"Envoy Wang, Happy New Year, Fuqing New Year, Longevity Extension! I haven't seen you for a few days, but you're getting more and more energetic? Xiao Quzhi joked with a smile.

When I first met Wang Chengen more than nine months ago, he was still a white and tender little fat man. After nine months of thousands of miles of war and a long journey, he became much stronger.

Wang Chengen grabbed Xiao Quai's arm, pulled him to the side of Xiangluan Pavilion, and said with an anxious face: "My Liang Guogong, at this time, can you still laugh?" Do you know that this chapter of the impeachment attack in the palace has been piled up almost as high as one person! ”

"I know."

Seeing Xiao Quai's smile and indifferent look, Wang Chengen was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

He was full of good feelings for Xiao Qubing and the Anxi army, and this time he went to the river with the Anxi army, and obtained a total of more than 50 benefits, and he made a lot of meritorious contributions.

Not only has his position in the Daming Palace been promoted a lot, but he has also been awarded a military officer, General Dingyuan on the fifth grade, and given a hundred households of food, which is a rich family business that can be passed on to all descendants!

Although Wang Chengen has been pure since he was a child and has no heirs, he has an elder brother who succeeded a nephew to be his righteous son, and he can be regarded as a queen.

And all this, Wang Chengen thinks that it is thanks to the Anxi army and Xiao Quai, especially Xiao Quai, if he hadn't risked his life to report the news, maybe under the city of Talas, he would have died under the internal and external attacks of the Qarluq rebels and the Great Food Army.

"Then you're not in a hurry?" Wang Chengen said anxiously: "General Gao, let me give you a reminder, so many people impeached you, and it is difficult for even Your Majesty to protect you, I am afraid that as soon as the New Year holiday is over, I will issue an order to deal with you!" ”

Seeing Wang Chengen's anxious appearance, Xiao Quzhi was also a little moved in his heart, put down his smiling face, and said; "Do you know what the impeachments are?"

After Li Longji indulged in pleasure, most of the upper recitals were presented to Colliers first, and after he read them once, he chose the important ones and then entered the imperial court, and the trivial matters were decided by Colliers himself.

This is to meet Gao Lishi is a good eunuch, if it is replaced by Li Fuguo or Wei Zhongxian, Datang will have no daylight.

"There are those who impeach you for guarding and stealing and greedy for gold and silver coins of the Tang Dynasty; There are those who impeach you for withholding the spoils of war without permission;

There are also those who impeach the four seas trading companies for violating the law, saying that you are willing to degenerate and tarnish the image of officials, and demand that you be sent to prison for crimes......"

Xiao Quzhi smiled again: "Who is this, isn't this looking for a draw, the Four Seas Trading Company makes money for the treasury, and it is also approved by His Majesty, and this one has to be given a bad review." ”

Wang Chengen didn't understand the meaning of the bad review, and continued: "There are also people who attack you for being too rich, and they want to check the accounts of the Sihai Trading Company and the Wang Ji family property used to train soldiers. ”

Xiao Quzhi's brows furrowed slightly, if Li Longji really agreed, it would not be a good thing to check the accounts at this time, leave it to them to do, you can find something if you have nothing to do, and a small thing can become a big thing, but it is a big trouble!

Even if he has a concubine to cover him, it is not a big deal, Gao Shi, Du Fu, Wang Changling and others will not die and have to shed their skin, which must be dealt with carefully.

"There are also people who impeach you for being arbitrary, demanding that the social affairs of the four seas be run by the household department and the Taifu, and that the profits obtained are only used to train the soldiers......" Wang Chengen finally said the most critical point.

Xiao Quai's brows instantly wrinkled a Sichuan character, this is to completely clean himself up and become an idler.

To be honest, at the beginning, Xiao Qubing wanted to be a fortunate minister and a courtier, so he worked hard to please Li Longji and Yang Guifei.

Sihai Trading Company doesn't need him Li Longji and Datang Treasury to come up with a Kaiyuan Tongbao, I find a way to raise funds by myself, I handle everything to put up the shelf, I come up with ideas, out of technology, bother to do my best to be busy.

In the end, he had to hand over sixty percent of the net profits (thirty percent of the special funds for training and raising soldiers, two percent of filial piety to Li Longji, and one percent of the Yang family and other powerful people), in order to learn from Wang Jie, and wanted to use money to invite favor, gain Li Longji's favor and support, so that he could also make a difference.

I didn't expect that in the end, it was such a result, seeing that the Four Seas Trading Company would soon be on the right track, after the Shangyuan Festival, the first caravan would be able to set off and make money everywhere, but now someone is coming to pick peaches!

I have done so much for him Li Longji, but in the end, I can't get a little support, but An Lushan can't do one thing, he doesn't have any ability, he can only pretend to be stupid and trusted and favored!

With a smile on the corner of Xiao Quai's mouth, he said, "Whose person is the latter one?" ”

Wang Chengen glanced around, and saw Li Sheng and Ma Sui guarding the surroundings, so he said: "They are all minor officials of Yushitai and Hubu, most of them are Doctor Yang, and the others are people from the king of Dongping." ”

Xiao Quai's illness immediately became apparent, thinking of the information brought back by Li Qi, and on the morning of the 28th day of the lunar month, the person he sent to Mrs. Qiu's mansion to deliver the cake was beaten back, how could he not understand that An Lushan, Mrs. Qiuguo, and Yang Guozhong had already united.

"Thank you to the envoy and Gao Weng, there will be a retribution in the future." Xiao Qubing hugged Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen saw the news and didn't stop long, and hurriedly went back to serve Li Longji.
