Wow, sister Yaoyao, look, Heitan Tou! Is this smearing pot ash on your face? "
"Wow, sister Yiyi, look, Huang Mao, our uncle Brown Zai, our uncle's sworn brother, looks like the yellow hair on his head!"
"Wow, Sister Feifei, look, little dwarf, this must be three feet tall. Is the pillow on your back just for stepping on while watching a show?"
Young Master Liu looked at the weird looks in his colleagues' eyes and lifted the startled little cutie into his arms. He covered the cutie's mouth and smiled bitterly at the colleagues around him: "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wuji!"
Several officials wearing scarlet official robes happily looked at the little cutie in Young Master Liu's arms!
"Dong Guo, this is your tiger girl, right?"
"I'm going to make you laugh. This is Liu Luoyue, one of my daughters. A child has never seen the world. The nonsense he talks can't be taken seriously. It can't be taken seriously!"
"No, no, no, Duke Ding is too modest. Miss Luoyue described it very vividly!"
"appropriate!"
"Just right!"
“To the point!”
"That's great, that's great. Colleagues, let's take your seats. His Majesty will be arriving soon!"
"Dong Guo please!"
"Please, please!"
The banquet table is a long table used for large banquets. During the palace banquet, the civil and military officials ate at separate tables. One person could sit on his knees, and four people would not be too crowded. One table for the whole family was just right!
Palace banquets are held for all civil and military officials, and it is appropriate for the whole family to sit at the same table when a lady is appointed. Young Master Liu does not know when this rule was passed down, but it is extremely useful.
It was perfect for the two girls Qi Yun and myself to sit together with a few children!
After a slight glance, I saw that there were two rows of long tables arranged far away in the square outside Qinzheng Hall. At each table, there were more or less their own female relatives sitting at the table!
Even Xia Gongming, an old scholar, was kneeling next to an old woman wearing a phoenix robe with silver hair and a kind face and a child. It must be the wife and grandson of this two-dynasty veteran!
The court was filled with nobles and nobles, and people began to take their seats in a bustling manner!
Young Master Liu pressed the little cutie on the soft futon and stared at the little cutie with a tigerish face: "Learn from your three sisters how to be a good girl. Keep your head down, eat and drink, talk less, and don't yell, otherwise daddy will Spanked!"
The little cutie hurriedly covered her butt with her hands, nodded hurriedly, and leaned towards Liu Yiyi!
"Yue'er knows, Yue'er must learn from her sisters obediently!"
"Third brother! Why are you here so early!"
"What are you yelling for? I don't know, I thought you fell into a pit?"
Young Master Liu looked helplessly at Song Qing, who rarely took off his armor and put on a splendid robe!
Song Qing's face darkened: "What did you eat in the morning? You speak so rudely. You two brothers and sisters, you must discipline them well, so as not to be remembered as a sap in the future!"
"Brother, how can a sister-in-law dare to discipline her husband? It's the husband who disciplines his sister-in-law!"
"Sister Yun is right. When you get married, you must obey your husband. Your husband is our destiny. No matter how your husband is your sister-in-law, you can only follow her obediently!"
With the two women protecting their own faces in this way, Young Master Liu's vanity was greatly satisfied. He glanced at Song Qing triumphantly: "You see, this is what you call a man! As for what you said about my young master's words, I don't think so." I’ll give you a general idea! Jiang He and you two haven’t seen each other for a long time, would it be appropriate for you not to say hello to him?”
Dare you say that this young master has a bad mouth? You will know what a bad mouth means later!
Song Qing followed the direction of Young Master Liu's mouth and looked towards An Gou who was chatting with An Xin: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that brothers Jiang He have become marquises. It's time to build friendship!"
Young Master Liu looked at Song Qing walking towards An Gou'er and smiled strangely. He reached out and stroked the little cutie's hair. If Song Qing could sit down calmly in his seat today, Liu Mingzhi's name would be written upside down!
Liu Mingzhi looked at the familiar officials passing by in twos and threes, nodding and saying hello from time to time. Those Westerners also sat down in their own seats one after another under the leadership of the officials from Honglu Temple!
After just a cup of tea, Young Master Liu saw Song Qing, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, his fists clenched white, walking towards his position, and gave himself a gesture of wiping his neck, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes. The hostility!
Young Master Liu chuckled, and the old god squinted his eyes and started humming!
"Husband, why does eldest brother look so strange?"
"It's normal. If you go ahead, your expression won't be any better. This guy Jiang He is so angry that he won't pay for his life. He has been sailing on the sea for so long and every woman is taking care of him. It's inevitable that he's a little psychopathic!"
"Really? I think brother Jiang He is very easy to talk to!"
"A slutty slut looks like a gentleman, but in fact, her obscene thoughts are about to overflow!"
Qi Yun's face turned red and she pinched the soft flesh on Young Master Liu's waist: "Be serious, there are still children here, what should I do if I have taught them bad things through words and deeds?"
"Yes, yes, my husband almost forgot, you must pay attention, you must pay attention!"
"Your Majesty is here!"
The chief steward's sharp voice came. Li Zheng, dressed in a dragon robe, walked towards the dragon chair and dragon table that had been arranged. The beautiful empress, Nangong Meng, followed in a dignified manner to accompany him!
Followed by a group of countless Yingying Yanyan, the concubines, concubines, and nobles of the harem, there are twenty-seven or eight people, some of whom Mr. Liu has never even met!
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"The Queen is a thousand years old!"
"The imperial concubine is a thousand years old!"
"Dear ladies, today is a palace banquet, no need to be polite, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The Guo Zhi Country, the Mosque Country... the envoys meet the Great Dragon Emperor!"
"See the Queen!"
"See the royal concubine!"
"The envoys from the Western countries, without courtesy, please take your seats. You will go to the Great Dragon to worship and respect the Great Dragon as the master. You are the subjects of the Great Dragon. From now on, all distinguished envoys will treat you as dear friends in the Great Dragon!"
"Thank you Emperor Dalong, long live long live long live!"
Li Zhengduan sat on the dragon chair and winked at the chief steward. The chief steward nodded respectfully and took out an imperial edict from his sleeve and slowly walked to the steps to unfold it!
"Emperor Dalong issued an edict saying that the envoys from various countries will come to Beijing with the Dalong fleet to pay tribute and pay tribute. This is commendable! A corner of Dongjie Fang City has been specially given to the envoys from various countries for the envoys to carry their goods. Let’s trade with Dalong’s people, the government, and merchants here. This is my first pilgrimage. I am granted permission not to pay any taxes for this trade!”
"I have seen all the precious jewels, rare birds and animals, and Western specialties that were paid tribute by the noble envoys of various countries. They are all pleasing to the eye, and the dragon's face is very pleasing to the eye. In accordance with the great dragon's gift, I should return them ten times. However, since I came to the throne, I have actively reformed the officialdom and been innovative. , I don’t like the old etiquette and old customs, so I would like to return a specially made gold medal to the noble envoys and supervisors to show the friendship between Dalong and the Western countries. True gold is not afraid of fire and will last forever!"
"Standing on a wall with thousands of feet, one can be strong without desire; the sea accepts hundreds of rivers, and tolerance is great. The great dragon wishes to have everlasting friendship with all the Western countries!"
"Appreciate this!"
Young Master Liu blinked his eyes and looked at Li Zheng who was sitting on the dragon chair. Damn it, real gold is not afraid of fire and will last forever!
No matter how I look at it, I feel that you are reluctant to return the gold, silver and jewelry ten times as tribute. You are unconventional and unconventional. You don't like old etiquette and old customs. You are nonsense. If you are greedy for money, you are greedy for money. You really agree with Jiang He's words. When XX still wants to establish a Chastity Arch.
It is said that in a country of etiquette, courtesy should be reciprocated? I gave away the tribute worth tens of thousands taels of silver with just a gold medal. Isn't that too shameless!
It's fine if you give me a reward of a few hundred taels of silver, but you can't be too stingy, and you can't be too political!
Young Master Liu leaned forward slightly and looked at the few eunuchs holding trays beside the chief steward. He looked at the shining sign above and felt slightly ashamed!
If this young master sees it correctly, the quality and the light are not unexpected, so it should be made of brass!
Sure enough, you can't be too polite. You can also get a real gold medal. Even if it is mixed with other metals, at least you can't fool people too much!
More than a hundred Western envoys at the bottom of the banquet understood the content of the imperial edict under the translation of some envoys who were better at speaking Chinese!
They all looked at Li Zheng who was sitting on the throne with tangled expressions and trembling lips. He hesitated to speak, and finally chose to remain silent and looked at An Gouer not far away!
In particular, a few Western envoys dressed in the most gorgeous clothes did not hide their distress, and they agreed to return the tribute items tenfold?
Except for the tribute items that the king asked us to bring, most of the treasures were paid out of our own pockets to pay tribute to your emperor. We just wanted to get ten times the profit. Now, we just gave away a gold medal. What about ten times? Is the meal ready?
An Gouer shrank his neck in embarrassment and backed away from An Xin, not looking at the Westerners staring at him.
An Gou'er was startled when he shrunk to half, and seemed to remember something. He leaned forward and glanced at the Western envoys one by one with squinted eyes. Damn it, you dare to get into trouble with me, how can you think of something? This is my... His Majesty's territory. What's wrong with you?
I'm giving you face by cheating you. If you don't accept it, first ask me if I agree with the knife in my hand!
When the envoys from the Western countries saw An Gouer's sharp eyes with a cold light, they trembled and sat obediently in their seats with sad expressions on their faces.
I can only secretly figure out how to make up for my losses on top of the goods traded in Dalongfang City!
The Grand Steward folded the imperial edict, took out another imperial edict, unfolded it, and cleared his throat!
"The Emperor Dalong said!"
"The policy of maritime trade benefits the country and the people, opens up our horizons, and benefits our subjects. We are stubborn and sit on our own selves, looking at the sky from a well. We don't know the vastness of the universe and the openness of the world. From now on, sailing to the Western Ocean will be a national policy. All the subjects of Dalong, please talk nonsense." Everyone can cut down the sea!"
"Any descendant of the surname Li who dares to remonstrate and seclusion in the country will be handed over to the clan office for investigation and prosecution according to the crime of disobedience and unfilial piety to Emperor Taizu! To show my determination to go to the West!"
"From now on, a warning stone monument will be erected outside the Qinzheng Hall. The descendants of future generations will forever remember the strategy of the Western Empire. The great dragon son used his life to develop a foundation for eternity. Those who dare to stick to their own laurels will be punished according to the law and will never be lenient!"
"Appreciate this!"
"Long live my holy emperor! Long live! Long live!"
Eunuch Fu, who was standing next to the chief steward, also took out an imperial edict and unfolded it on the spot!
"Emperor Dalong says!"
"Dingguo Gong Liu Mingzhi went to the two countries to establish the foundation of our dragon's stability; to control the locust plague in Qingzhou and appease the people; to suppress the Bailian rebellion and support the generals of Sheji; to offer sweet potatoes to enrich the national treasury to save the people from hunger, and to harvest all the people in the Western Regions. The country will make great achievements for a long time!"
"Since Liu Mingzhi entered the court, he has been loyal to the country and his heart is commendable. I follow the instructions of Emperor Gao. I will reward my merits and punish my mistakes!"
"The Duke of Ding, Liu Mingzhi, is given a golden whip to beat the unscrupulous emperor and the disobedient and treacherous ministers. Where the golden whip is, the civil servants should get off their horses and the military officers should dismount. Except for the harem, everyone can walk in the palace unimpeded!"
"Appreciate this!"
Liu Mingzhi stared blankly at Li Zheng and didn't react for a moment. It wasn't until the third princess pulled his sleeves that he came back to his senses and hurriedly walked out of the queue towards Li Zheng's dragon case!
"How virtuous and capable my son is, please ask Father to take back the Holy Order!"
Li Zheng looked at Young Master Liu with a faint smile: "I have spoken in fine words, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, the special envoys of various countries have already issued an edict on how to withdraw the imperial edict. It is no small matter to strike the emperor's golden whip. You must make good use of it to strike the wise king. Being a loyal and upright minister is a crime of disobedience, remember this!"
"Is it okay if I don't want this...?"
Liu Mingzhi didn't understand that this imperial golden whip looked majestic, but was actually a hot yam.
I finally managed to get some connections from both sides, and once I received the Imperial Golden Whip, I would be completely inseparable from Gu Chen!
"Um?"
"My son, I accept the decree and thank my father for your kindness!"
“The whip is as strong as the whip, but the whip destroys and destroys the people!”
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the prince's position with a bitter look in his heart and nodded heavily!
"My son obeys the decree, the whip is there, and the whip destroys the people!"
I took the Emperor's Golden Whip from Eunuch Fu respectfully. The four inscriptions on the whip's body were shining brightly and dazzlingly!
Liu Mingzhi gently stroked the Golden Whip of Beating the Emperor and signaled with a faint smile: "My son, please step back!"
The whip is there for people, and the whip destroys people and kills them. This is an invisible shackle that Li Zheng gives himself supreme rights and at the same time imprisons him!
The emperor's art is really unfathomable!
Kneeling on his seat, Liu Mingzhi took the imperial gold whip in his hand, put it in his mouth, bit it, and looked at Li Zheng with resentful eyes.
Copper, you really can’t be too Li Zheng!
Li Zheng kept looking in the direction of Young Master Liu, and his eyes twitched slightly when he saw him biting the golden whip!
"His mother is so obsessed with money!"
Having said that, Li Zheng's eyes looked relaxed and freehand!
