Chapter 938: With God’s blessing, my emperor will live long and be boundless forever!
(Thanks for the monthly ticket, the rest is love~)
Before entering the Tai Chi Hall, Li Sanniang heard a burst of cheerful palace music.
Even though Li Sanniang didn't know much about music, she could tell that this music was different from the music she had heard in the past.
Sure enough, as the courtiers and officials ranked according to seniority entered the Tai Chi Hall one by one, Li Sanniang looked at a corner of the hall and saw that there were more than thirty court musicians sitting or standing in a dense crowd.
Li Sanniang originally thought there were a lot of people here, but when she sat down next to the table according to the instructions of the palace attendant, she raised her head and looked to another place, and there were actually more than 20 people wearing green round collar robes. The musician stood in front of two sets of musical instruments consisting of chimes and chimes (qìng) hung on stands.
At this moment, looking at so many court musicians, listening to music that would not be heard in the square, and looking at the dishes on the table while eating, Li Sanniang has the ability and ability to participate. Not to mention the palace banquet, I still had a front row seat.
Yes, Li Sanniang's position in the Imperial Medical Office is not far away from the front row. In front of her is Wang Shuzheng and two other senior doctors. She and the other doctor are in the second row.
Li Sanniang looked at the nine magnificent Tongtian Pillars in the hall, and wondered how much copper powder would be needed to paint them out?
Also, the lights were so bright that the hall looked like day. How many candles and lanterns of different styles were lit?
Before Li Sanniang could sigh in her heart, she heard the musicians changing their tunes, and the sound of palace attendants leading the way came from outside the main hall.
The curvy official voice came over, and Li Sanniang looked towards the door of the hall like everyone else. Sure enough, tribesmen from the vassal state in colorful clothes and pigtails walked in.
Walking at the forefront should be the current Great Khan of the Eastern Turks. He is really easy to recognize because his hairstyle is very unique even among the foreigners.
I saw this man standing still and saluting the minister of Honglu Temple when he passed by Honglu Temple. The minister of Honglu Temple stood up and returned the salute.
Then in the next half hour, the palace attendants led about a hundred foreigners into the hall.
The twenty or thirty foreigners who came in front could still get a seat at the front, but the foreigners who came later had to sit away from the main seat.
The leader of the small tribe was actually happy to be placed at the entrance of the main hall. You must know that even if he is at the entrance, he is still in the same hall as Emperor Wu.
This is much better than sitting in the front row of the Liangyi Palace.
After waiting for about half an hour, when Li Sanniang's buttocks were numb from sitting, the music of the musicians finally changed, and a melodious but solemn music sounded in the hall.
Li Sanniang quickly stood up like the other ministers. This was the rhythm that the minister of the Ministry of Rites had long promised before Emperor Wu would appear.
The sharp but clear voice of the palace attendant was very obvious among the music: "The saint has arrived."
"Holy greetings."
Li Sanniang bowed her head and saluted Emperor Wu together with all the officials. Although she could not directly raise her head to see Emperor Wu, she could feel the supremacy of the emperor's power just by watching Emperor Wu walk along.
After Emperor Wu walked up the steps and sat on the throne, King Xiang and a group of other clan princes' descendants went to their seats.
After that, the first- and second-grade officials in charge of various ministries in crimson robes came, and among them was Mr. Bu.
Mr. Bu is the first to the left under Emperor Wu's head, and the first to the right under Emperor Wu's head is the Prime Minister, and next to the Prime Minister is Princess Taiping. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Bu was Emperor Wu's confidant and the most popular person among them.
The next step is a step-by-step process, greeting and returning gifts, introducing the tribal leaders of the main vassal states, some flattering words about hello, me, and everyone, and then the clan starting from the Prime Minister begins to wish Emperor Wu a birthday. After the clan wishes are over, there are still more Officials of third rank and above came to say a few words in a polite manner, and finally the tribesmen from the vassal state came forward.
At this time, Li Sanniang leaned forward a little and looked forward. She was also very curious about what good things these vassal countries could offer as tribute.
Although we should not be too proud, the Tang Dynasty at this time is indeed worthy of the words "a kingdom with abundant products".
". Present as tribute one hundred large five-inch pearls and one magenta coral in the South China Sea."
The lengthy roll call made people dizzy to see the tributes brought by the palace servants. Li Sanniang not only muttered silently in her heart: "Good guy, really a good guy, how much manpower and material resources it takes to find it."
Before Li Sanniang could sigh that no wonder people flocked to this supreme imperial power, a group of eight soldiers walked into the hall carrying a shelf covered with red cloth.
"The Luoyun tribe of the South China Sea presented a strange stone one foot high."
The load carried by the eight people was carefully lowered to the ground, and Li Sanniang felt a dull tremor. She could imagine how heavy the boulder was.
Emperor Wu held a small wine glass in his free hand and looked at the huge stone covered with red cloth below, "Haha, it's interesting. Come on, my son Taiping will unveil the red cloth for me and see what Luoyunbu has given me. Good stuff.”
"Yes, saint."
Princess Taiping stood up and saluted accordingly, and then walked towards the boulder in the open space in the middle of the hall. When she got closer, she pulled down the red cloth covering it, revealing a piece of about two pieces with the luster of mutton-fat white jade. The huge boulder as tall as a man was revealed in front of everyone's eyes.
"Ah!"
"It's so true!"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Princess Taiping, who was standing next to the boulder, was also shocked by the appearance of the boulder. It took two breaths for Princess Taiping to react. She turned around to face Emperor Wu above, bowed and saluted: "Sage, this gift is for you." Well done!
There are strange stones in the world that look like saints. This must be God's wish for the saints to live forever and have eternal peace! ”
When Princess Taiping said this, the conspicuous Bao Langguan immediately stood up and echoed: "With God's blessing, my emperor will live forever and his country will be forever solid!"
The atmosphere was in place, and all the ministers, officials and even the people of the foreign tribes stood up again and shouted: "With God's blessing, my emperor will live forever and the country will be eternal!"
Let's not talk about what everyone thinks in their hearts, but on the surface, everyone is extremely loyal.
In fact, from Li Sanniang's point of view, it is not far-fetched to say that the strange stone with the color of white jade looks like a girl, but if you insist on saying that it closely resembles Emperor Wu, then it is really just for the sake of resemblance.
However, from ancient times to the present, such objects have been blown up by people to create momentum? It has existed since ancient times.
