Chapter 330: Meeting the Envoys

Where there is Li Tao, there will always be right and wrong, which has become the consensus of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and many good deeds are excited, and it seems that there is a good show to watch today.

In fact, Li Tao appeared here today, not to get along with anyone, but to advertise the Fan business, for this day, he has been planning for a long time.

The first thing to do was to meet with the envoys of various countries.

Under the friendly and open foreign policy pursued by Datang, there are more than 70 countries and regions that have interacted with Datang, and the government has set up Honglu Temple and Protocol House to receive foreign guests, and set up translators to facilitate communication. In addition, roads were built and post stations were opened to ensure smooth internal and external traffic. In addition, there are many foreign students in Taixue in Chang'an. Some of them worked in Datang after completing their studies.

Walking on the Kuanqu Avenue where Chang'an cars are flowing like dragons, you will not only meet people from the Tang Dynasty. You will meet the Turks, the Western Regions, the Persians, the Great Cannibals, the Whirat, the Japanese, the Silla, the Tianzhu, the Zhenla, and the Piguo people...... Among them are ministers, envoys, merchants, scholars, students, monks, artists, doctors, craftsmen, singers, and even Kunlun slaves who are "black as ink, red lips and white teeth". In addition to the above-mentioned countries, the Tang Dynasty has extensive commercial ties and diplomatic contacts with countries such as Linyi, Chenla, Nepal, the Lion Kingdom, and Tocharo.

Receiving such a solemn scene of envoys from various countries, Zhongzong Li Xian did not sit on the dragon chair, but sat on the chariot carried by six beauties, and the beauties were uniformly dressed, although the steps were a little scattered. But the chaos was enthusiastic and cheerful, avoiding the mechanics and rigidity of the same pace, and this was clearly a women's honor guard full of human touch.

This is a special design by Li Tao. In order to let the envoys of various countries see the shelves of the Tang Emperor, the Tang Dynasty is not only rich, but also rich in beautiful women, and even the work of carrying chariots is done by beautiful women. The beauties are full of food and warm, some are strong, the tall emperor lets the petite beauties carry them, and the beauties have slightly round faces and moist bodies. Carrying the chariot easily, I can't see the feeling of panting, who said that Datang women are not as good as men.

Standing at the forefront of the envoys of various countries were the courtiers of the imperial court. Responsible for leading the envoys to guide Jin to see Zhongzong. He has a bearded face, a calm and capable demeanor, and the demeanor of a central government official of the Tang Dynasty, wearing a red official uniform echoing the red skirt of a beautiful woman. There is a rhythm. Doesn't stunt the eyes. The envoys of various countries were full of humility and awe for the Tang Emperor, and they looked a little nervous, not just a little nervous, but really nervous.

After some courtesy, Zhongzong gave seats to the envoys of various countries, and the Tang Emperor had a friendly conversation with the envoys of various countries. Of course, it was mainly Emperor Zhongzong who gave instructions, and the interpreter of the Ministry of Rites translated Zhongzong's words to the envoys of various countries in an orderly manner.

At this time, the envoy from Tianzhu was a Brahmin monk. The monk was very arrogant, and he took out something. He made a big call to the interpreter.

The interpreter was smiling at first, but then his face turned green.

"What did the envoy say?" Zhongzong saw some clues and asked the interpreter.

The interpreter didn't dare to say anything for a long time.

Zhongzong was angry, and said with a sinking face: "Translate for me truthfully!" ”

Seeing that Zhongzong's face was not good, the interpreter didn't dare to slack off, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Tianzhu showed Tianzhu's national treasure Buddha tooth, and he said that the thing left by the Buddha to them is extremely hard, and the thing that is hit is unstoppable. ”

The ministers were suddenly silent, this is calling out to the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Zhongzong?

Zhongzong did not show weakness, and he immediately announced that no matter who could smash the Buddha's tooth, he would be rewarded.

This holy decree of Zhongzong attracted men, women, and children from all directions in Chang'an City, but no one could break the Buddha's tooth. The Brahmin monks were triumphant and even more arrogant.

Seeing this situation, Zhongzong didn't fight in one place, which was too much to take my Celestial Empire in his eyes, but he was helpless.

Li Tao also frowned at this time, although this is just a folk game, if the Brahmin monk succeeds, it will also be a big loss to the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

Gao Lishi quietly walked in front of Li Tao: "Little master, the Purun host of Tianci Temple wants to see you!" ”

Li Tao came to the outside of the palace and saw Purun.

After a while, Li Tao appeared in Hanyuan Hall again. He walked up to Li Longji, handed Li Longji something, and said a few words to Li Longji.

Li Longji looked at Li Tao with a suspicious gaze, Li Tao smiled at him, and Li Longji nodded heavily.

Just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that there was no hope, Li Longji suddenly stood up, he walked up to the Brahmin monk, and said with a smile: "Don't pretend to be a ghost here, and use the relics of the Buddha to deceive you, are you bullying me and no one in the empire?" Let me teach you a lesson! ”

With that, Li Longji took out something from his arms and knocked it down heavily on the Buddha's tooth. Zhongzong and the ministers widened their eyes, and the hall instantly became silent.

The monk thought that his things were indestructible, but unexpectedly, he was hit hard by the antelope's horns, and the sound was shattered. Seeing this scene, the ministers immediately cheered. The Brahmin monks were embarrassed and did not return to the main hall, and Li Longji greatly increased his face for the Tang Dynasty.

Zhongzong Longyan Dayue: "San Lang, tell me quickly, how did you break the Buddha tooth of the Tianzhu monk?" ”

Li Longji said eloquently: "Your Majesty, the so-called Buddha's tooth is to confuse the public, it is obviously a thing called diamond, this kind of thing is extremely hard, and foreign objects cannot be damaged, but the antelope horn can break the diamond, and the antelope horn I used just now is the antelope horn." ”

"How did you find out about this?" Zhongzong asked.

Li Longji quietly glanced at Li Tao, and said to Zhongzong with a smile: "The minister once saw this method from the book, and it happened to be used today!" ”

Before Zhongzong had time to be happy, a wave had just flattened, and a wave rose again. The Tibetan envoy played: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan, there are many people who are good at playing polo under the command I brought, and I hope to have a try with the Celestial Empire." ”

Datang has become popular in playing polo, and the palace has a special team. Since the Tibetan envoy proposed it, if it was not compared, it would be faceless, so Zhongzong readily agreed.

The setting of the Polo Courts at the Palace was quite elaborate and probably the best in the world at the time. In the Tang Dynasty, especially the national capital of Chang'an, the polo field. There is a pavilion next to the stadium where you can watch the game objectively. The ground of the course has been carefully treated and is quite wide and smooth. Not only is the venue of good quality, but the polo game also has a fixed musical accompaniment. (To be continued......)
