Xiao Sixian was symbolically tied to the trunk of the tree, he felt ashamed, he was too clever to calculate but he suffered the consequences, and now he was going to accept the punishment, as ten people were selected among the onlookers, everyone pointed their bows and arrows at Xiao Sixian, Xiao Sixian suddenly trembled.

"Whoosh...... The arrow feathers shot at Xiao Sixian, and then began to "snap", Xiao Sixian raised puffs of white smoke on his body, Xiao Sixian stretched out his mouth to taste, it was indeed sweet, those arrows were bald, and wrapped with flour sugar, this is just the traditional Khitan way of playing, and the arrows wrapped in flour sugar also have the meaning of praying for blessings.

This is how the archery competition ended dramatically, at this time it was also sunset, and the bonfire outside the conjoined body had been lit, that is to say, the Spring Bowl Conference was about to be officially held, and everyone flocked to the leather room tent of Emperor Tianzuo, where there was a maid to lead the individual to sit down, and Zhao Gou would win the Shatush shawl solemnly into his arms, and prepare to return to China to pay tribute to his father and mother.

In the rumbling drum music, the torches everywhere were lit, and the high mast was also hung with wind lanterns, and the entire conjoined tent was illuminated as day, plus the bonfire outside the tent, everyone's faces were illuminated red, and the big tent was divided into several circles, full of lacquer cases, and all the envoys and guests sat on the ground, unfortunately Xiao Ming and Xiao Fengxian did it together.

Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi finally walked out of the big tent in the leather room, surrounded by the palace maids and inner eunuchs on both sides, looking complacent, this guy is now full of red light, I think he is in a good mood, he came out today and wore a short shirt with a placket, and he looked ordinary and didn't know what to do.

As soon as he came out, all the people in the big tent outside stood up one after another, bowing and bowing, worshiping and worshipping, speaking a variety of languages to praise him, some to express wishes and blessings, and more likely to be sycophants, Emperor Tianzuo smiled and stretched out his hand, and sent all kinds of food and wine at the bottom of the flowing water, and some people carried a large flower basket, spring flowers are in full bloom, and I don't know where to pick wildflowers, but the whole space is fragrant with flowers.

Emperor Tianzuo sat on the white tiger skin throne with his golden armrest, nodded, and suddenly a rapid leather drum came, and from one side, eight shamans (shamans) wearing blue-faced fanged masks suddenly turned out from behind. First, he danced and worshipped in eight different directions, and then ran to the throne of Tianzuo, shaking various magic weapons in his hands, and surrounded Tianzuo in the middle. For a while, everyone couldn't see His Majesty the Emperor.

After a while, these shamans held aloft the pair of short robes that Emperor Tianzuo had just worn on their bodies. Ran down from the throne. Dancing around a gilded brazier in the center of the hall, a layer of mink ointment was evenly applied to the robes and shawls, and burned in the brazier. For a moment, the hall was filled with the smell of burnt hair mixed with the strong fragrance of spices.

This is a custom of Khitan tradition, the host undresses and burns to increase the fire, is to pray for the guests from afar, everyone stands up to praise and thank His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Liao State, although Buddhism is prevalent in the Liao State, but shamanism is still prevalent in the tribe, each tribe has shamans, and Emperor Tianzuo is considered to respect the tradition.

Emperor Tianzuo nodded to the side, so the big Yili of the spring bowl is also the host of the meeting, this person is the Xihai Hou Yelu Dabu of the Liao State, he stepped forward and suddenly opened his mouth to sing, Xiao Ming now basically understands the Khitan dialect, still can't understand, it turns out that he sings an ancient Khitan language, only suitable for the Khitan song that is seriously sung, and he usually doesn't need to speak.

Xihai Hou Yelu Adab this guy sang very hard, his face was red and his neck was thick, his voice was very long, and he said in Khitan dialect after the group: "The envoys of all subject countries and friendly countries can present gifts to the emperor......!" ”

The Goryeo envoy was the first to snatch it out, pounced on Dangyang, and bowed three times and nine bows to Emperor Tianzuo above, and then said by the interpreter: "The king of Goryeo wishes the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom a prosperous country, and specially offers 100 catties of Korean ginseng, 2,000 bundles of silk, 500 silk horses, 300 bronze mirrors, and 500 virgins......"

Xiao Fengxian pursed his lips and said to Xiao Ming: "Goryeo is stingy, and those silk silks sent can't fit together. There are only more virgins, but unfortunately they are long and ugly, and each of them has a sorghum cake face, and they are sent down to the people in armor as concubines, which are too cold. ”

The Goryeo envoy continued: "Our kingdom is held hostage by the Jurchen state, and even though it is a subject country, this heart already belongs to the Great Liao State, and I hope that the Great Liao State can immediately expel the Jurchens and remove the threat of Goryeo, and the king of Goryeo will never turn his back on the ...... as a subject state of the Great Liao for generations!" ”

Emperor Tianzuo was a little ashamed of this, the last time the Jin State attacked Goryeo, they sent people to ask for help, but they ignored it, making Goryeo become a vassal state of the Jin State, which made many vassal countries feel cold, this time the old saying is repeated, that is the result of seeing Xiao Ming defeat the Jurchens, so he comforted the Goryeo envoy with kind words, and gave him gold, silver, pearls and jade and other things, and felt more dependent on Xiao Ming in his heart.

The second is that the envoys come up and sing the list.

"The Uighurs of Gaochang, 12,000 horses and 280 virgins......"

"Great Xia Kingdom, 20,000 war horses in Hetao, 40 dancing girls in the Western Regions......"

"The leader of the Murowei tribe has 5,000 pack horses, 10,000 cattle, 50,000 sheep, and 500 beautiful women......

"King of Persia, present to the Emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom, 200 red sapphires, 500 glassware, 200 beauties, 1,000 barrels of wine and wine......"

"The king of Tubo presents ......!"

The salute has been loyal to his duties, and the subject countries and tribes who came to offer gifts have been read for half an hour, and Zhao Huan, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, was completely shocked, not to mention anything else, just the war horses offered by the various departments, there are no less than 100,000 horses. 100,000 horses! It's just a spring bowl meeting. The Great Song Dynasty spends a lot of money to buy war horses from all over the world every year, and sometimes it does not exceed 20,000. Among them, there are probably less than 5,000 horses that can be used in battle. For the first time, Zhao Huan, the king of Dan, had a personal experience of the strength of the Great Liao State, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy about the Liao State.

But he didn't know that the Great Liao Kingdom was already worse than it used to be. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that in the first year of the Liao Shengzong and the first year, the privy envoy Yelu Xian forced the Jurchen tribes to hand over 200,000 war horses. During the time of Emperor Tianzuo's grandfather, Liao Daozong, the royal ranch still kept millions of war horses. When Yelu Yixin, the king of Wei, was in power, due to the degradation of the pasture and poor management, "no hair and no hooves", a large number of horses in the Liao State died. By the time Yelu Yanxi took office, the supply of military horses had completely relied on the offerings of the subject countries and the state.

When it was the turn of the Great Song Dynasty, he got up and presented the gifts, which were nothing more than a cart of porcelain, 200 quintals of tea, 200 quintals of salt, 3,000 horses of silk, and 500 horses of royal silk and silk...... These things are really nothing to Da Song, but they make outsiders feel a little shabby.

Xiao Fengxian said coldly: "I miss you in the Great Song Kingdom, sitting on thousands of miles of beautiful rivers and mountains, a rich land in the south, why are you so stingy?" ”

King Hailing spoke, causing a lot of discussion below, Zhao Jian arched his hand and said: "In the past two years of my Great Song Dynasty, there has been a great drought in the east, a flood in the south, and a rebellion in the southeast, and now the treasury is indeed tight, it's not that my Great Song Dynasty is stingy!" ”

Emperor Tianzuo is thinking about doing business with the Song Kingdom, and he knows that the Great Song Dynasty is not difficult, but he is unwilling to take out things, and he doesn't care about it at the moment, and said to Zhao Lian: "The Great Song Dynasty can send the royal dignitary Dan Wangye to participate in my Spring Festival Bowl Conference, which is already an honor for my Da Liao, and the Dan Wangye doesn't have to mind returning to his seat, wait until he doesn't get drunk and don't return!" ”

Next, a few small Fanbang tribes offered gifts, Emperor Tianzuo calculated and made a small fortune, and the war horses got 150,000 horses, these are all money, and now as long as they are exchanged for gold and silver through trade, he doesn't want how many iron cavalry these war horses can build, anyway, there are Xiao Ming and Yelu Yu on the battlefield, so there is no need to worry about the Jurchens.

The next is the time to discuss state affairs and political affairs, at this time, Emperor Tianzuo yawned, and he couldn't raise his interest at all, so in the main political and state affairs, Zhang Lin, the prime minister of Beifu, and Xiao Fengxian, the king of Hailing, Ye Lugong, the governor of the Senate, Xiao Geli, the minister of Pingzhang, and other civil and military ministers were in front, and Emperor Tianzuo just sat there and posed.

Among them, there are two serious things, one is that the envoy of the Western Xia State made representations to the Great Liao State, protesting that the Liao army had repeatedly entered the territory of the Great Xia State to fight the grass valley and plundered thousands of civilians! Another thing: the Murowei tribe has now been robbed of half of the grassland pastures by the Jurchens, and they asked the Liao State to send troops and horses to drive the Jurchens!

Such a meeting is cumbersome and long, not only Emperor Tianzuo is impatient, even Xiao Ming is also irritable, look at this kind of posture, such a meeting will definitely not be finished if it is not held for three or five days, Emperor Tianzuo will call Zhang Lin to the side, and order to open the banquet first, and the political affairs can be placed tomorrow to continue to discuss, so the internal supervisor announced: "The emperor sees that everyone is a little tired, now the banquet is open, everyone has a meeting to drink, the grand meeting will be held for a few days, the envoys can ride horses and hunt, have fun, and those who need to discuss state affairs can discuss this special discussion......"

Everyone applauded, so the whole roast sheep and roast deer were brought up, as well as all kinds of fruits, in addition to the lamb wine abundant in Liao, there are fruit wine, wine from the Western Regions, etc., the atmosphere finally became warm, this is Emperor Tianzuo's favorite program, so he waved his hand and ordered singing and dancing to cheer up.

A large group of Khitan dancers ran into the venue and began to sing and dance, twisting and straddle their arms, shaking their shoulders, and lifting their legs and shaking off the skirts.

Emperor Tianzuo laughed, raised a glass to wish everyone a good time, and everyone also stepped forward to toast, and for a time the whole big tent was in a mess, and someone took the opportunity to pull the dancing girl to eat tofu ...... lightly.

Xiao Ming saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quietly withdrew......
