On the first day of the Lunar New Year, this day is a pivotal day for Datang.

It is the Spring Festival that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and it is also the day of the court meeting in other countries.

Outside the Suzaku Gate, large and small countries, up to 1,000 people are waiting respectfully. It shows the prosperity and strength of Datang, and shows the prominent position of Datang in the world.

Taiji Hall is the main hall of the Tang Dynasty Palace, it is the place where the emperor mainly listens to the government and sees the court, every first day of the new year, the fifteenth day, the emperor comes to this hall to meet the ministers, and the court listens to the government. In addition, the emperor's accession to the throne, the canonization of queens, princes, kings, princesses, and banquets of tributary envoys are also held in this hall.

Nowadays, it is also average, but there are too many countries to come. The Taiji Hall could not accommodate it at all, so the occasion of the meeting was chosen outside the Taiji Hall, and the square outside the hall was enough to accommodate 100,000 soldiers to receive the missions of various countries!

Li Shimin sat on the ninety-five steps in front of the Taiji Hall with high interest, waiting for the arrival of the envoys of various countries.

That look was so proud and proud, that the tail was about to reach the sky.

Du He stood beside Li Shimin, dressed in gorgeous clothes and armor, looking handsome and extraordinary, and his face was also high-spirited.

Originally, his status was not enough to participate in such a grand event, but this scene of pilgrimage in another country was the first time in thousands of years. Du He really didn't want to miss it so much, so he couldn't discuss it with his father, and quietly found Li Shimin.

Li Shimin favored Du He so much, and did not refuse his request, knowing that he was good at martial arts, and asked him to act as a guard, accompanying his side, to protect everything.

Regarding Du He's appearance, Du Ruhui's eyes straightened, revealing a hint of chill in his eyes.

Du He directly turned a blind eye, and was able to participate in such a grand event, even if he went home and was punished by the family law, he also admitted it.

Many high-ranking ministers are located on the left and right, and at the end of the seat sits a painter, who is Yan Liben, a national painter of the Tang Dynasty, and on the order of Li Shimin, he recorded this scene of the pilgratory congratulations of all countries into the painting to promote his prestige.

When the auspicious time came, according to the contribution to the Tang Dynasty, the envoys of various countries lined up in a neat procession from the Vermilion Bird Gate into the palace and came to the front of the Taiji Palace.

Du He looked out, and there were all kinds of strangely dressed characters below, and there were as many as a thousand people.

They are all important ministers of various countries, figures with heads and faces, and if they include the guards who accompany them, there are really tens of thousands of people.

They came to the front step by step, and when they came to the bottom of the steps, they stopped together, and then bowed down one by one with the salute of the Tang Dynasty, and shouted in unison: "Meet His Majesty the Heavenly Khan!" ”

They are in different countries, with their own languages and their own etiquette, but at this moment, they are speaking the words of the Han people, but they are practicing the etiquette of the Han people, and they worship the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Their tones are different, but they bite the words clearly, which shows that they have put a lot of effort, and they don't ask what the sincerity of their hearts is, but such glory, which country in the whole world can compare?

This is the majesty of Datang, the pride of Datang, and the pride of their China!

"Everyone, flat!" It was also the first time for Li Shimin to be seen by so many envoys at the same time, his face was full of red light, and his wrist was raised, exempting the envoys of various countries from saluting, showing the majesty of his Khan on this day.

After the group visit, the next step is to meet with the envoys of each country in turn.

The first country to receive the honor of Haega was Xue Yantuo.

Xue Yantuo is one of the Ele tribes, they are a tribal association, composed of Xue and Yantuo, nomadic herding, the initial service belonged to the (Turkic) Turkic, but because of the differentiation of Li Shimin, assisted the Tang Dynasty to destroy the (Turkic) Turk, and then attached to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin canonized their leader Yinan as the Khan of Zhenzhu Viga. Now it is the period of harmonious relations between the two sides, in the years ago, Zhenzhu Viga Khan paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty 80,000 war horses, 50,000 ploughing cattle, as for the number of sheep, camels, mink skins, etc., there are no less than hundreds of thousands of people, in order to express their admiration for the Tang Dynasty,

So far, Xue Yantuo is the most loyal ally of the Tang Dynasty in the north, and his strength is also extremely strong. He was the first to be received, which shows that Datang attaches great importance to them.

A thin middle-aged man of medium stature, with a man nine feet tall, and more than thirty people strutting forward among the thousands of envoys.

"The eldest son of the foreign minister Yi Nan led the magnanimity and a group of ministers, knock to see His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, may my Tang Dynasty be prosperous for thousands of years!" The thin middle-aged man bowed to Li Shimin first, and everyone behind him also bowed one by one.

Yi Nan's true pearl Viga Khan was personally sealed by Li Shimin, so he has always been a courtier to Li Shimin to show his respect for the Tang Dynasty.

"Aiqing is not far away, come in person, I am lucky, hurry up!" Li Shimin sat in the hall, and his words and deeds also showed the demeanor of a king.

After a brief conversation, the Zhenzhu Viga Khan led Dadushe, led by the eldest grandson Wuji, to leave from the side and go to the place where the state banquet was held...... Chengtianmen.

This was the prince's responsibility, but because the prince was still lying on the bed, he could only be received by the eldest grandson Wuji.

It is said that Li Shimin originally intended to let Li Tai replace the crown prince, and he moved some thoughts, but he was unanimously opposed by the eldest grandson Wuji and other ministers, so he gave up.

Next is Gaochang and the Western Regions, although these countries are small, but they are all located on the Silk Road, and their existence makes the bandits in the Western Regions dare not cause trouble to the Silk Road, and it also has a great effect on the Tang Dynasty, so they meet one by one!

The rest of Zhangxiong, Yanqi, Western (Turkic), Goguryeo and even Yuben all presented congratulatory gifts one by one, expressing their willingness to communicate with the Tang Dynasty and make friends forever!

As for Tibet, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Li Shimin was the last to meet them.

This means that they have the lowest status among these dozens of large and small countries.

made the Tibetan envoys purple, ashamed and embarrassed, but they still had to pretend to be smiling, and they had to curry favor with Li Shimin in every way.

When Du He saw it, he felt very relieved in his heart.

It took three full hours to receive such a meeting one by one, and there were fifty or sixty large and small countries, and even the great food from far away sent envoys to congratulate them, not to mention some small countries whose names had never been heard.

For such a long time, Du He stood aside, not only did he not have any impatience, but became more and more proud!

In the face of the civilization and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, looking at the respectful demeanor of a country and nation, I was even more indescribably happy in my heart, and secretly thought: This is just the beginning, and the glory of the Tang Dynasty is only that! I must do my best to make Datang a more magnificent dynasty.

After meeting with all the countries, Li Shimin said to the civil and military officials beside him: "Fifty-one, I have calculated clearly, fifty-one countries have bowed down in front of me, this matter has not been done for thousands of years. But I am not satisfied, and now, ten years later, I want more than 100 countries to bow to me at the same time and in the same place. Twenty years later, the number of my hearts is two hundred...... Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to fulfill this grand wish with me? Let me be worshiped by all countries in the world! ”

Li Shimin's pride and ambition infected everyone, and all the ministers who accompanied him bent down and bowed and shouted: "Long live!" His face was flushed with excitement, and Du He was also average.

"Let Datang be worshiped by all countries in the world!"

This is Li Shimin's goal, but it is not his goal!
