Chapter 2517 My Prostitute Yao
The academy started school today, and all the students had their own arrangements, either watching the steam engines outside the mountain gate, or taking classes in various colleges. The entire academy has elite "Hundred Qisi" personnel responsible for security, so there are no facilities in the cafeteria. No clutter or waiting.
As for lunch, it is natural to wait until the emperor leaves after eating, so that the academy’s students can take their turn...
His Majesty Li Er is a lively person. He came to sit down in the dining hall. Although there was a lot of food and wine on the table, looking around, he saw that they were all his ministers, and Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Xiao Yu and others. Not even here, here The only people who can't drink together are Li Chunfeng, Kong Yingda, and Yuan Tiangang. Fang Jun is his son-in-law. It's okay to have a few drinks behind closed doors in the palace, but it's really irregular to drink in public. .
Tutting his tongue, His Majesty the Emperor felt that the food was hard to swallow, so he said to Li Junxian beside him: "There are many foreign envoys invited to watch the ceremony today, right? Go and call them all over, and tell them that I am entertaining all the envoys today. Let them see the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty, and let them remember this academy firmly in their hearts. In time, their countries will be dominated by my disciples!”
Fang Jun was speechless.
This emperor was truly a man of temperament. Although he was wise, mighty, talented and strategic, he also had the temperament of getting carried away and enjoying great achievements.
Generally speaking, although sometimes it seems a bit childish, it is quite humane, which is really rare...
Li Junxian did not dare to question His Majesty Li Er's order at all. He immediately turned around and walked out. A moment later, a large group of foreign envoys in strange clothes and different appearances were brought into the cafeteria.
These people are all envoys from various countries staying in Chang'an. They were invited to watch the ceremony today. First they saw the shocking steam engine, and then they were invited by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to attend a luncheon. One and two of them were a little excited. After meeting, they hurriedly gathered together. They all bowed and saluted.
His Majesty Li Er sat on the chair, laughed, and waved his hands: "Everyone, today is the opening ceremony of Zhenguan Academy. I would be honored if you could take the time to come and watch the ceremony together. Although our Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, it has always been with neighbors For good, it is important for all countries to follow the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty and build a prosperous homeland together. Then the Tang Dynasty will always be your friend. Wouldn't it be great to have friends from far away? Please take a seat and join us. Drunk!”
He is worthy of being the majestic "Khan of Heaven". Even though he has not yet had this title at this time, His Majesty Li Er faced dozens of envoys from various countries. He was both friendly and enthusiastic while talking and laughing, and he was also vigilant and warned. He was completely in control of the initiative. Completely suppressed everyone present.
"The Tang Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous. Your Majesty is wise and powerful. We, the foreign people, have no place to admire you!"
A large group of foreign envoys bowed politely in return and took their seats. The decorations in the dining hall have not been changed due to His Majesty's recent meals here. It is still as usual. Naturally, so many envoys cannot sit at the same table. There are interior decorations accompanying His Majesty Li Er, as well as those from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple. Officials came forward and arranged them one by one.
There are a lot of rules between countries. Each country has its own status due to its different national strength and situation. In such an occasion, which is almost equivalent to a state banquet, there are strict rules for who sits in front and who sits behind. If you accidentally make a mistake, it will cause a diplomatic dispute.
Nowadays, although the Tang Dynasty is powerful and no one dares to make mistakes, the barbarians are all stubborn and their face is as big as the sky. If you chop me, maybe I can bear it, but if you hurt my face, then I will follow You fight hard.
Datang has never been afraid of anyone fighting for their lives, but if a war started just because of a mere seat issue, that would be too boring...
In theory, the only people who can sit closest to His Majesty Li Er are the Tibetan envoys and the Silla envoys.
Now that the Turkic Empire collapsed, the remnants fled to the Western Regions in panic, hiding in the desert, secretly instigating the countries in the Western Regions, with only one out of ten in strength compared to when they were at their peak. Xue Yantuo was defeated by Fang Jun in a battle, and all the All the territory was included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Tuyuhun relied on the Tang Dynasty to survive. Maybe one day the Tang army came to the city and the whole country would be destroyed. Goguryeo was hostile to the Tang Dynasty. The Eastern Expedition was imminent and a war was about to break out.
Among the powerful countries in the world, only Tubo is qualified to sit in front of His Majesty Li Er.
Silla is an example of the internal vassal. Since the Queen of Silla vassaled the whole country and moved to Chang'an as a hostage, Silla's status has risen again and again, becoming the well-deserved "head of the princes".
Lu Dongzan was brought to His Majesty Li Er by the chamberlain. His Majesty Li Er laughed and said, "My old friend came to Chang'an, but I haven't been able to meet him. We just want to have a chat today."
Lu Dongzan thanked him quickly and took his seat respectfully.
His Majesty Li Er looked around and found that the Queen of Silla had not come. The envoy from Silla was Jin Famin, so he also waved and asked Jin Famin to sit down in front of her.
Jin Famin quickly stepped forward and took a seat.
Kong Yingda, Yuan Tiangang, Fang Jun, Li Chunfeng and others sat to accompany them.
Wang De, the chief chamberlain, looked at His Majesty Li Er, leaned over and asked for instructions in a low voice. His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, and then Wang De straightened up and announced the start of the luncheon.
The waiter filled the wine glasses on the table. His Majesty Li Er raised his glasses and had a drink with Lu Dongzan and Jin Famin. Then he put down the glasses and asked Jin Famin with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Jin has entered the academy. What do you know about what you have studied?" br>
Jin Famin respectfully replied: "Thanks to Fang Shaobao's recommendation, Wei Chen was able to study in the academy. Wei Chen has always admired the heroes of ancient times, such as Wang Jian, Han Xin, Li Guang and Wei Qing. They are like the scorching sun shining in the sky through the ages. Even though hundreds of generations have passed, He is still famous in the future, and Fang Shaobao can be regarded as the Huo Piaoyao of the world. He is a god in military warfare and has great achievements. He is an example admired by all ministers. They are willing to learn the method of leading troops and forming formations to open up territories for His Majesty. Achieve hegemony!”
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jin Famin.
This pretty boy is not only good at knowledge, he is also outstanding at flattery and flattery. He is self-taught without a teacher and is a talent...
Wang Jian and Han Xin were both founding officials. The former helped the First Emperor to unify the six kingdoms, while the latter helped the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the country and establish the Han Dynasty for 400 years.
Li Guang and Wei Qing are both generals who protect the country. The former served in seven counties and resisted the Xiongnu in the north. The latter even served in Zhiqusai, Guanghenan, broke Qilian, Tongxi Kingdom, and defeated Hu in the north. They were natural generals and guards of the country.
These four people are all famous generals in ancient times, and each of them has made great achievements in the country and has unparalleled honors in the world.
As for saying that Fang Jun is the Huo Piao Yao of the world... Haha, no matter how conceited Fang Jun is, he would not dare to compare himself to Huo Yao. He is a real and famous general, and he is just a cheat.
But these words were said in front of His Majesty Li Er. Although the deep flattery in the words was quite straightforward, it was also an extremely clever form of flattery. This was a disguised comparison of His Majesty Li Er to Qin Shihuang, Han Gaozu, and Han Wu Emperor. ……
Fang Jun squinted his eyes and saw that His Majesty Li Er was stroking his beard and smiling, looking pleased with himself.
Perhaps because he has been suppressed by Wei Zheng for too long, since Wei Zheng's death, His Majesty Li Er has become more and more fond of these flattering words. This is completely opposite to the previous style of painting where anyone who flatters in front of him is considered a "sycophant". There is quite a sense of "everything must be reversed when it reaches its extreme".
Fortunately, although the Zhenguan dynasty was full of good and bad, there were indeed not many sycophants who flattered their superiors and brought trouble to the court, so that His Majesty Li Er would not become one of those fatuous emperors who listened to slander and were notorious for thousands of years in history.
His Majesty Li Er was very proud. He aspired to become the first emperor of the ages. Although Jin Famin compared him to Qin Shihuang, Han Wu Emperor and other emperors, which was still a little short of his expectations, he was still proud enough. He immediately laughed and raised his glass. Said: "Come, come, let's have a drink for my champion!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the expressions of the people at this table were different, but also the people nearby who heard the words were all surprised.
Everyone knows that His Majesty Li Er favors Fang Jun. Does it turn out that he has already favored Fang Jun to this extent?
He actually called him "My Champion"...
Anyone who has read history books knows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved Huo Qubing extremely. How much did he love him?
Huo Qubing was the child of Empress Wei Zifu's sister, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. She had lived in the palace since she was a child. How is Huo Qubing's appearance described in "Historical Records":
"This is the same year. Huo Qubing, the general's sister, is eighteen years old. Fortunately, she is serving the emperor."
In the Western Han Dynasty, the "Shizhong" had not yet become the prime minister, but it was one of the additional officials in addition to the regular official positions. Ministers of civil and military affairs with titles such as Shizhong could enter the imperial court and serve in the ban, and they were first-class ministers of the emperor.
Not only that, for Huo Qubing himself, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even created a term that later poets loved to praise - "whoring Yao" Xiaowei. (End of chapter)
