Chapter 431: The Envoy Enters Chang'an
Chapter 431: The Envoy Enters Chang'an
Three days later, ten spirit boats docked at the border of the Tang Kingdom, the word Sword Pavilion, exuding endless sword energy, looking at it from a distance, the pupils felt tingling, like looking at the sun!
Light will sting people's eyes, and darkness will envelop people's hearts!
"The special envoy of the Sword Pavilion Imperial State, carrying a letter of state, a generous gift, came to visit the state!"
The Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion Imperial Kingdom, flying in mid-air, looked at the mountains in front of him, although there was no one, he still shouted politely.
Under his induction, on the border of the Tang Kingdom, at intervals, there are sentry posts stationed, the Martial King is on guard, and from time to time there is also the spiritual power of the Martial Saint swept by, which is very strict!
Moreover, he also knew that on the border of the Tang Kingdom, there was a policy of banning the air order, and if it was in the past, he would fly directly over it, rampage all the way, and arrive in Chang'an.
However, this time is different from the past, the ancestor of the Sword Pavilion was captured by the Tang Dynasty and suffered endless humiliation, and he was worried that because of his rudeness, the ancestor would lose his head.
"Yes, please ask the envoy of the Imperial Kingdom of the Sword Pavilion, after entering the Tang Kingdom, abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and not harm the people......"
A martial king enshrined, flew out of the mountains, and said to the prime minister of the Sword Pavilion, neither humble nor arrogant, sweeping the huge spirit boat, and envy flashed in his eyes.
"Got it!"
The Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion nodded indifferently, flew back to the Spirit Boat, and with a "sigh", he fled into the distance and disappeared.
"Lord Waiting, the Sword Pavilion Imperial Kingdom, sent a team of envoys, led by the prime minister, has entered the country, who should be sent to greet him?"
In the imperial study, Fan Li asked, to welcome foreign envoys, there is a deep doorway, what officials should lead the team, how many people to bring, what welcome song to play, are very particular.
The abundance of etiquette can determine the relationship between the two countries!
If you attach importance to it and be friendly, of course, it is the highest etiquette, so as to tell the world that Qin Jin is good!
If it is not taken seriously, it is hostile, and the minimum etiquette is given to knock the visiting envoy to facilitate the subsequent negotiations.
"Such a question, don't ask it again in the future, leave it to the Ministry of Etiquette to do, what etiquette should be used, in accordance with the regulations, my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and I don't care to do things. ”
After Li Tang heard this, he didn't think too much, so he opened his mouth and ordered, the beauty of the uniform, the great etiquette, is the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and it should be implemented at any time.
Foreign visits, regardless of the purpose?
But there is only one identity, that is, guests, friends!
If you have friends from afar, you should be entertained!
As for whether it is a villain or a good guest, that is after the welcome!
Although this kind of reasoning is vulgar, it is very reasonable from the side, and it has a great role in promoting the development of national culture and the prosperity of a hundred schools of thought.
"Yes!"
Fan Li said that he still agrees with Li Tang's way of doing things, and if foreign envoys come and go, he will do things that are not good, and he will not disdain them.
Not to mention that this move will anger foreign envoys and will not be conducive to the subsequent negotiations, and at the same time, it will also highlight that the country is a rude country and a barbaric country.
Soon, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Muli, led a large number of members, formed a welcome team, waited quietly at the east gate of Chang'an, the red carpet on the ground, a long spread of 100 meters, and blocked the main entrance, leaving only the side door.
"Prime Minister, in a few minutes, we will arrive in Chang'an, do you say that the Tang Dynasty will humiliate us?"
Inside the Lingzhou, a military general showed sorrow on his face, and his worry was not without reason, because the Sword Pavilion Imperial Kingdom often did such things and humiliated the envoys of other countries.
He never thought that he would face such worries in this life!
Sure enough, feng shui takes turns!
Fortune is fickle!
"I know, but there is one thing, we must pay attention, no matter what the attitude of the Tang Kingdom is, we must smile and never get angry, you tell everyone this sentence. ”
The Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion said unhappily, feeling a little angry in his heart, and he also unilaterally thought that the Great Tang Kingdom would definitely take this opportunity to humiliate them fiercely.
And they can't fight back yet!
Extremely aggrieved!
"Got it!"
The general nodded, his hand pinched the hilt of his sword hard, and he was unable to let go, and went down to convey the order.
"The Spirit Boat has arrived!"
Under the city gate, Mu Li looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, his hand raised slightly, signaling everyone to prepare for it.
"Hum~"
With a loud bang, under the gaze of everyone, ten spirit boats suspended above the city gate, and released the light of guidance, transporting a large number of people, all dressed in bright clothes.
"Playing music!"
Mu Li drank heavily, and there were thirty-six musicians, forming a musical array, holding a copper hammer, gently striking the chime, making a joyful sound, echoing around the city gate, and also reaching the ears of the Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion and others.
"Well, what's going on?"
The Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion, when he heard the welcome music, he was slightly stunned, this is a little different from his imagination!
Shouldn't it be humiliating?
"Prime Minister, the Tang Kingdom seems to be welcoming us, their king, did he take the wrong medicine and have a bad brain?"
The general asked, facing the actions of Mu Li and the others, his heart was also full of surprise, and of course, joy.
Because of this, at least there is no need to be humiliated!
"I don't know, this matter is weird, then look at my face, act carefully, don't be trapped. ”
The Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion said in a deep voice, he was suspicious, he didn't think that this was a good deed of the Tang Kingdom, but he thought that it contained evil intentions.
"The Book of the Rite Department of the Tang Dynasty, under the order of the Lord, came to greet the envoy of the Sword Pavilion Imperial Kingdom!"
In the beautiful welcome song, Mu Li stepped forward and said with a smile, his face was kind, without the slightest displeasure or hatred.
Strictly speaking, this is the first time that the Tang Kingdom has welcomed a foreign envoy, although the relationship between the two countries is not friendly.
"The Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion Imperial Kingdom, on the orders of the Emperor, came to pay a state visit and wanted to return to the Ancestor. The Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion walked on the red carpet and bowed slightly.
"Haha! The state visit can be carried out immediately, but if you want to return to your ancestors, it will be more troublesome, and you need to meet the Lord to make a decision. ”
Mu Li said, of course he knew what the Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion meant, but it was not so easy to return to the Sword Pavilion Ancestor!
He guessed a little bit about Li Tang's thoughts.
"Yes, I don't know when I can meet the Lord?"
The Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion asked, he couldn't wait in his heart, the sooner he wanted to return to the Ancestor, the more he would feel at ease.
"When the people are here, the Lord will summon them, please come inside!"
After Mu Li finished speaking, he made a gesture of please, as if he didn't want to continue the conversation, and the prime minister of the Sword Pavilion didn't force it, he also made a gesture of please, and strode in.
Finally, we come to a royal garden.
After the arrangement, Mu Li did not stay long, left the garden, and left the Sword Pavilion Imperial Kingdom and his party, full of doubts, sitting in the garden, and discussing softly.
"Prime Minister, what kind of trick are you doing in the Tang Kingdom? This is another welcome, and a good garden has been arranged, which makes me feel uneasy!"
The general asked that the relationship between the two countries was very bad, and he was ready to be humiliated, but after coming to Chang'an, he was treated diametrically opposed, which made him feel uneasy.
It's like concentrating all the strength of your body on your fists, wanting to hit the enemy hard, but you find that when you hit the cotton, the difference between the front and back, not to mention how uncomfortable it is!
"Hmph! The Tang Kingdom is preparing for the next big game of chess, and it is really not enough to swallow the elephant; forget it, don't think about it! Tell me not to go out of the garden in the next few days. ”
The Prime Minister of the Sword Pavilion said faintly, looking at the sky over Chang'an, as if he could penetrate everything, this pocket imperial capital gave him too many different feelings!
Attitude, aura, people's heart, luck......
