46, tributary
Xuanming Palace, the Great Dynasty.
An Yan did not enter the palace with the hundred officials, but waited in the palace in full official clothes early, standing alone under the Jade Majesty, watching a group of red-clothed officials enter the court.
As a living roomman, he has the responsibility of writing about the court meeting today.
Seeing Yu Jingtang being surrounded by several people, and hearing that people were also there, he took the initiative to come forward to greet him.
Yu Jingtang, who was dressed in a purple python pattern court dress, just bowed his head indifferently, and when he heard the people, he pulled him over with a smile and introduced him to the people around him.
And An Yan's eyes also focused on a middle-aged man who was also wearing a purple official uniform.
"This is the secretary of the ministry and the right servant, Master Pei Shihe Pei."
This person has the luxury of being in a high position for a long time, his waist is straight, his hands are behind his back, and he looked at An Yan and smiled lightly: "This is your future virtuous son-in-law?" A talent. ”
An Yan has heard of this name, but today is the first time to see it, just listening to the name of this official position, you know that this Lord Pei is also a very popular minister in the court.
Moreover, the Pei family is a famous family in Luoyang, and often has in-laws with the royal family, and there have been many famous ministers in the family.
"I've seen Master Pei." An bowed and saluted.
"This is the head of the household, Master Ke Wanxian Ke."
"This is ......"
An Yan saw the salute one by one, and the topic quickly moved away from him, and turned to talk about today's court meeting and the meeting of the foreign envoys of the two countries.
He stood by and listened quietly, his eyes wandering about the temple, and he saw a crowd of men entering.
The leader did not wear an official uniform, but a very casual but expensive tan robe, tall and strong, gray hair and a little messy, a fierce and fierce face, and a smile on his face.
Such a person who stands out from the crowd naturally becomes the focus as soon as he appears, and An Yan noticed that Yu Jingtang and Pei Shihe also glanced at that person.
Shentu wins......
An Yan looked at the man silently, he was the one who didn't deal with Yu Jingtang, and Yu Jingtang seemed to be planning to move him.
But these things are all out of the reach of An Yan now.
There were more and more people in the hall, and the voice became a little noisy, during which many people diligently went to Yu Jingtang and Pei Shihe to greet each other.
Because today is the Great Dynasty, there are a lot of officials who come, and as far as the eye can see, they are almost all red official uniforms.
And An Yan is dressed in green, but he is the lowest grade among these people.
"The queen of heaven has arrived!"
Above His Majesty, a female official stood there and shouted, and the hall instantly fell silent, and all the officials returned to their seats and stood still.
The officials of the Xuantang Dynasty were all seated, and there was no need to bow down.
An Yan's position was on the side of the jade steps, closer to the dragon chair, but it was not very conspicuous.
The queen of heaven was dressed in a red crown dress, with a dignified appearance and a majestic and noble temperament, and slowly walked up the jade steps, standing in front of the dragon chair and looking down on the hundred officials.
An Yan sometimes thinks, since the power of the Queen of Heaven has reached this level, why not directly reform the system and become the emperor?
But what the queen thinks, An Yan is not clear.
After the mountain called, the queen of heaven also motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Xuan and the foreign envoys of the two countries will enter the palace." The queen of heaven said directly.
The female official stepped forward and shouted towards the palace gate: "Xuan, the envoys of Qin and Han enter the palace!" ”
The voice went down, and then it was repeated by the guards outside the door, over and over again like an echo.
The sound of chimes sounded in the main hall, and it was the ceremonial department that played the ceremonial music.
An Yan looked at the paper and pen on the low desk in front of him, this time it was normal, after all, it was a major event on a formal occasion, and it still needed to be recorded.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door of the main hall, and An Yan raised his eyes and saw a group of twelve people walking in, dressed in red and black, black for Xianqin, red for reckless men, and the leader of the people each holding a tray.
Everyone's eyes are focused on these people, the tributes of the two countries only meet once in a hundred years, and some people will never meet in their lives, so it is a rare opportunity to be able to get in close contact with the monks outside the Guanwai.
Several people walked to the center of the main hall, and then bowed respectfully.
"Foreign Minister Mu Yuanqing/Luo Zhilian, I have seen the queen of heaven!"
The queen of heaven on the dragon chair just said "um" indifferently when she heard the voice, Mu Yuanqing and Luo Zhihuan glanced at each other, and Mu Yuanqing said: "The foreign minister is here, and I hereby present the gift of our country, as well as the letter of the Emperor Xianqin himself." ”
The female official on the side came to pick up the tray in Mu Yuanqing's hand, and An Yan noticed that the female official did not directly send the things to the Queen of Heaven, and there were two men wearing white robes and embroidered red patterns in the dark of the hall, holding a strange instrument, and after opening the national book and the gift list, they swept it on it with the instrument before returning it to the female official.
Tiangongyuan ......
An was disgusted to look at their costumes.
The queen of heaven first glanced at the national letter, and then picked up the gift list and looked at it.
"Fire chalcedony, Xuanji wood, 10,000-year-old red branches, purple-eyed qiongshi ......"
She closed the gift list and put it back on the tray in the hand of the female officer next to her.
"Every time you come, you offer something like this."
Mu Yuanqing bowed and said: "Queen of Heaven, these gifts are extremely rare spiritual objects in my dynasty, and they are hereby presented to show the feelings of my Immortal Qin and your country in visiting a friendly country." ”
The queen of heaven said indifferently: "Even if it is a psychic thing, according to my Xuantang national law, it can't be kept, go back and send it to Lingzhou to be destroyed." ”
Mu Yuanqing's expression was stunned, he didn't expect the queen of heaven to say this, obviously the Xuantang Emperor he saw last time he came, but he was very satisfied with the same spiritual object.
And the young men and women behind him all showed pain on their faces, and they all thought to themselves, I really don't know the goods after this day, if I don't return it, why destroy it!
Mu Yuan couldn't help but say: "The gifts offered by my dynasty are all carefully selected, and being close all year round can get rid of diseases, prolong life, and be beneficial to the human body." ”
The queen of heaven said indifferently: "Don't you understand what the law of the land means?" ”
Mu Yuanqing stopped talking.
Seeing this, Luo Zhihuan smiled bitterly in his heart, because almost everything in his gift list was like this.
He had heard from some Taoist friends who had come to the Xuantang Dynasty to pay tribute that most of the emperors of the Xuantang Dynasty longed for immortality.
But the woman sitting on the dragon chair at the moment ......
For more than ten years, there has been no emperor and no crown prince, and once he has been safe here, this heavenly consequence is not an ordinary person.
The things that are being asked for are estimated to be hopeless, and it seems that someone else needs to be found.
The queen of heaven looked at the national letter and gift list presented by the Han envoy.
An Yan was looking at the appearance of these envoys one by one, all of them looked very young, but they didn't know what their actual age would be.
The real ages of Mu Yuanqing and Luo Zhihuan may be far more than their twenties.
Carrying the purple jade pendant given by Xuanyi Zhenren on his body, An Yan couldn't detect the aura on these people.
And just when An Yan's eyes were patrolling these people, he suddenly met a gaze, it was a female Qin envoy.
Dressed in black, with a pale complexion, and a simple ponytail tied to his head.
An couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly looked away.
"Senior Sister Chen?"
The person next to the girl noticed her movement and couldn't help but pass the sound into the secret.
"Nothing."
"Who were you looking at just now?"
"A monk."
The people around her were shocked.
"Monk? Where is it? ”
This person's gaze swept over the entire hall in an instant, but except for them, none of them had aura fluctuations on their bodies.
"That man has a means of covering up and probing, and you can't detect normal." Chen Qingyan said.
"How did Senior Sister Chen find out?"
"Even if a person is not a monk, the aura of heaven and earth will pass through his body, and everyone in the hall is like this, but the location of that person blocks the flow of spiritual energy, and only a monk can do this!"
