At noon on the same day, Xie Delong came to us again and said that today's Laba Festival, Emperor Li Xian of Xiliang set up an eight-treasure glazed banquet in the palace, and he wanted to invite envoys from various countries, and Lord Shen invited you to participate in it.

Liu Qingfeng asked, what is the Eight Treasures Glass Banquet?

Xie Delong said that the Xiliang royal family holds a state banquet every year on Laba Festival to celebrate the Buddha's enlightenment day. This eight-treasure glazed banquet, 8864 tables every year, 8 people and 8 dishes per table, is rumored to be the secret food of the Xiliang court, and it is extremely delicious. The imperial banquet, the number of places is limited, the invitees are either honorable or expensive, and Xiliang often judges whether a person gains or loses power by whether he can participate in the Eight Treasures Glass Banquet.

I was a little hesitant in my heart, I don't have an official identity, I'm just a dart master in the Central Plains Dart Bureau, it stands to reason that this level of banquet will not be my turn anyway. Shen Mo's intention for this trip was to push me out. In this way, my every move in Xiliang is afraid that I will receive the attention of Xiliang's spies.

Xie Delong saw my concerns, and continued: Don't worry, Lord Shen, Lord Shen has already prepared, this time you are participating in this banquet as Lord Shen's personal friend, and the list has been reported.

Liu Qingfeng saw that such a good thing could not be missed, so he came together and said, Lord Xie, I don't know if the younger brother can also participate in this night banquet. Xie Delong smiled, that was nature.

That afternoon, Liu Qingfeng and I changed into a set of clean clothes, put the blade in the room, and walked downstairs.

There were already embassy carriages and horses waiting downstairs, and the innkeeper saw that our eyes were different at this time, and he said with a flattering face: Yesterday, the villain had no eyes, and asked the two adults to forgive their sins.

Thinking of Liu Qingfeng yesterday arguing about the high price of housing and whether there is hot water, I couldn't help but feel emotional.

Liu Qingfeng laughed, the customer is God, the six-character mantra is given to you, and the business of your inn is extremely prosperous.

The innkeeper nodded again and again, found pen and ink, and asked Liu Qingfeng to write an inscription. Liu Qingfeng splashed ink, but his writing was unorganized, like an earthworm crawling, and even the shopkeeper frowned when he saw it.

I said to the shopkeeper to find a piece of yellow paper to frame, this talisman can be hung on the door at night to ward off evil spirits.

The two of them went to the embassy with the carriage first to meet Shen Mo, and Shen Mo personally greeted me at the door of the embassy, which made me a little flattered.

Shen Mo is in his forties, with a beard, quite elegant, and is an upstart in the imperial court who has risen in recent years, and he hosted last year's imperial examination fraud case. This time, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, he sent an envoy to Xiliang, and it is estimated that he will be added to the rank of knight after he returns.

Shen Mo didn't have any official pretensions, and when he talked to him about the fraud case in the imperial examination, Lord Shen talked even more eloquently, talking about Min Qiuye, who was renting with me, Shen Mo praised Youjia, saying that Lao Min's articles were done well, and his official reputation was also good, but sometimes he was too tendonous and easy to offend people.

I also know that Min Qiuye has an upright temperament, and it is not a good thing to get a good reputation in the officialdom. Everyone is drunk and you are sober, and you are all clear, and you have a good official reputation, but it is only about fame. It's just that after he was released as an official, we were different passers-by, and there was less contact and movement between us after all.

At night, the three of them took a carriage and came to the Xiliang Palace. The Xiliang Palace is also built in imitation of the capital, but the scale is slightly smaller. Shen Mo also entered the Xiliang Palace for the first time, and when he saw this scene, the Ministry of Rites was sick, and he said along the way that it was not in line with etiquette here, and there was no compliance there, and he looked down on Xiliang in his heart.

Entering the Xuanhe Palace, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the sixty-four eight-treasure glazed tables in the hall. The table is octagonal, and the top is made of polished glass, which shines in the light and is extremely gorgeous. The glaze is produced in Post, a thumb-sized glaze can be sold for more than ten taels in the capital, Xiliang is closer to Persia, dozens of tables down, and the cost is estimated to be astronomical.

In this night banquet, Huayang Gong's faction accounted for four

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Xi, Zheng Yanggong's faction accounted for six seats, envoys from various countries accounted for six seats, and the Xiliang royal family, civil and military officials all had allocated seats.

Someone has already led him to the table, it stands to reason that Xiliang was still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty before the restoration of the country, and the seats for such a palace banquet should be among the three seats. But at this night banquet, Daming's seat was arranged in a lower-middle seat, and he also shared a table with the Gambian envoys.

Seeing this, Shen Mo's face turned gloomy, and he left a sentence that he felt slightly unwell, saying that he was sick and went away. Before leaving, he hinted that the two of us would stay and act on the opportunity.

Shen Mo's envoy to Xiliang represents the great tomorrow, and he is arranged in a medium seat, which is detrimental to the prestige of the country. But I am different from Liu Qingfeng, we are people in the rivers and lakes, so we are naturally not affected by this matter.

Liu Qingfeng went out for a while, and then inquired about the rules for tonight's banquet, Liu Qingfeng said, there is major news announced in Xiliang tonight, guess what?

I said that it wouldn't be for you to be Xiliang's horse! Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: I just heard the news, tonight Li Xian announced his marriage with Tubo and married Princess Zhaoyang to Prince Songzan. If I hadn't run fast that day, that unlucky ghost might have been me!

No wonder this time the seating order, put the Tibetan envoys at the head of the guest table, it turns out that there is this drama tonight. Think about it, Songtsan has a big red face and a kiss with Princess Xiliang, and tonight's meal is worth it.

Emperor Li Xian of Xiliang has not yet come out, Liu Qingfeng and I are tasting Xiliang snacks, the wine is a special brew of Xiliang, and the entrance is spicy. Xiliang people spend all day in the company of the grassland and desert, and the wine they make is full of energy, and if they want to drink Jiangnan rice wine and Huadiao, they feel unaccustomed.

Everyone arrived one after another, I saw that the envoys of the Southern Zhao, Tubo, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty also arrived, and unexpectedly, Daxi was in the ranks of the envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and saw me, and Daxi came over and said, why are you here too?

I said that we, Lord Shen, were not feeling well, so I let us come. Daxi is also a smart person, looked at our seat, and said, with such an arrangement, Xiliang is indeed rude. I'll go back first, and I'll ask you to drink after the meeting.

I joked, don't you know how to drink? Daxi blushed, I invite you, I don't drink.

When Liu Qingfeng knew that this person was a nameless disciple of Emperor Wu, he gasped, this person seems to have a gentle personality and is harmless to people and animals, but in fact, his martial arts are extremely high, you have to be careful. I said frankly, I don't fight with him, what's the caution or not?

Oops, I saw Xiliang Sword Pavilion Xiang Wentian and the masters of the various peaks coming to the banquet, and Shen Luoyan was even more among them, but fortunately, she didn't notice me, so I hurriedly bowed my head and didn't say much.

Liu Qingfeng pointed at Shen Luoyan and said, That chick looks good, why don't you go up and have a chat? I grabbed him, that person is the small pavilion master of Xiliang Sword Pavilion, you don't have to act recklessly.

Liu Qingfeng saw me turning my back to Shen Luoyan, and wondered, how much do you owe her, why are you so afraid of her? I said it's okay with you, you don't talk much. I thought about it in my heart, and I would take a chance to slip away later.

The eldest prince Yelu Chucai and the third prince Yelu Zhongxing also arrived at the banquet and greeted everyone, but the relationship between the two did not seem to be very harmonious.

Li Xian, the emperor of Xiliang, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, Tuoba and Yelu are the surnames of Xiliang, and the surname Li is the surname of the Ming Dynasty, and his two sons have changed back to the surname of Yelu.

The sound of ceremonial music, Emperor Xiliang, accompanied by a beautiful girl in palace clothes, drove to the Xuanhe Palace, and hundreds of people stood up to greet each other at the same time.

See Your Majesty, see Princess Zhaoyang!

Look at Princess Zhaoyang again, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a peerless demeanor, which is not inferior to Shen Luoyan. Liu Qingfeng's eyes were about to fall out, and he twisted his thighs vigorously.

I said that you walked away two days ago, and you were happy just now, but now you regret it!

Liu Qingfeng sighed for a long time, eager to fan

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) a few slaps in the face.

Under the leadership of the two princes, everyone toasted to Emperor Xiliang, and for a while, they staggered, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

Emperor Xiliang said some clichés that were not salty or light, which caused a lot of sycophants. We, the foreign envoys, just watched from the sidelines.

Emperor Xiliang finally said, all Aiqing, envoys from various countries, today is the celebration of the country, the palace has prepared some Laba porridge, and you will taste it together!

The figures are staggered, the eunuch of Gong'e serves a bowl of eight-treasure porridge to everyone, the aroma is fragrant, Liu Qingfeng learned the lesson of the morning in the Wuliang Temple, and drank it in a small sip, how did he drink the taste of Hu spicy soup?

After drinking the eight-treasure porridge, the eight-treasure glazed banquet began, steaming steamed buns, cutting cakes, pancakes, pancakes, bakes, knife-cut noodles, pot stickers, and xiaolongbao, a total of eight kinds, were placed in front of everyone.

Long live the ministers, thank you, grateful. Liu Qingfeng was speechless, was he a starving ghost in his last life, a bunch of pasta, this is the rhythm of choking to death.

There is humanity on the side, this eight-treasure glazed banquet is a cool custom, you Dongming barbarians who have lost their national character and humanistic cultivation, how can you understand our Tao!

Everyone thinks that their country is the center of the earth, and we call it the Northern Zhou, the Western Liang, the Dongyi, and the Southern Zhao.

At this time, the Xiliang Emperor said, tonight, in addition to the Laba Festival, we have two things to announce in Daliang, one is that the princess of Zhaoyang of our family and the prince of Tubo Songtsen will be married, and the marriage will be completed on an auspicious day next year......

Songtsan looked at Princess Zhaoyang, who was as beautiful as a flower, like a fool who was hit on the head by a lucky stone, and then looked at Duan Zishou, and estimated that his intestines were blue with regret.

As soon as Emperor Xiliang's words fell, Songtsan stood up and said: I Tubo and Da Liang are old friends and partners for many years, and they are unswerving supporters of Da Liang's restoration.

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and someone came up with a gift plate, and on it was a stone, the size of a baby's fist, slightly yellow, and dull.

Songzan said, next year's restoration ceremony, I Tubo specially presented a piece of colorful stone to add glory to His Majesty's crown. I hope to laugh at it.

Emperor Xiliang looked at the stone and frowned slightly, this stone is nothing special.

Songtsan explained: The seven-colored stone is a treasure of Tibet, it is said that after absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, the seven-colored light, this treasure, not everyone can get it, only the body of the true dragon can activate the seven-colored light.

Emperor Xiliang suddenly, so it was. Let's talk to the old prince next to him, second uncle, you go and try it!

Song Zan said, Your Majesty, you must have the body of a true dragon!

Yes, my second uncle is really deaf, not only deaf, but also his eyes are not good.

I laughed in my heart, this kind of stone is also known as obsidian stone, in our hometown a lot, a little internal force urging, can emit a faint light, at this moment, was actually Tubo as a national treasure dedicated to Xiliang.

Emperor Xiliang picked up the stone, and with a little luck, he saw that there was colored light flowing on it.

Gong Zheng Yang took the lead and knelt on the ground, His Majesty can activate the colorful gem, which is the body of a true dragon, it can be seen that even the heavens think that I am a matter of great coolness and restoration!

The ministers knelt down one after another, and the mountains shouted long live. This section has long been rehearsed and shown to us, it is full of routines, I thought to myself.
