Looking at the darkness below, the civil and military ministers and envoys from various countries all bowed in obeisance. Li Changqing waved his crown and said:

"Everyone, be safe."

His face was already majestic, and coupled with the imperial crown he wore, he carried a mighty imperial pressure that swept across all directions and pressed on everyone's heart.

The envoys of the Western Turks, Qiuci, Gaochang, Tubo, and Fusang, a total of five countries, It is a supreme honor for everyone to come to court!

It is the lifelong dream and pursuit of emperors of all dynasties, and it is also the best embodiment of the majesty of a country.

"Thank you King Wu!"

Although the envoys from various countries stood up from the ground, they still bowed and maintained a respectful attitude.

Li Changqing felt happy and laughed loudly:"It must be very hard for the envoys from various countries to trek all the way. Today, I will host a banquet in Baohe Hall to entertain you all.

When the envoys from various countries came out to express their gratitude, Li Shimin stood up, bowed and said,"I am unwell and want to go down to rest. I am afraid I will not be able to attend the banquet. Please forgive me, King Wu.""

After witnessing the shocking coming of all nations just now, Li Shimin's mood was really complicated. He was no longer in the mood to attend the banquet and watched the envoys from various countries fawning over Li Changqing. After

Li Changqing saw Li Shimin's pale face, he said lightly:"I agree."

"Thank you King Wu."

Li Shimin bowed and saluted, then turned and left the Tiance Hall. His back looked a little downcast and embarrassed. What he saw and heard today greatly stimulated him, and it will probably take some time to recover.

Changsun Wu Ji looked at Li Shimin's leaving figure and sighed in his heart:"Prince Qin... was hit hard this time."

After Li Shimin left, the court meeting quickly came to an end.

When the sun hung high in the sky, Li Changqing and the envoys from various countries went to the Baohe Hall.

Although the Baohe Hall is the place where the king gives banquets, its The level of magnificence is unparalleled in the entire era.

Missions from Kucha, Gaochang, Western Turks, and Fusang arrived in Youzhou yesterday. They are different from the Tibetan mission. The Tubo mission is a peace mission, and they come on behalf of the monarchs of various countries. Participate in the opening ceremony of Datang Military Academy.

Before meeting Li Changqing, they need to take a bath and burn incense.

Today, Li Changqing will host envoys from various countries at a state banquet. A grand banquet has been prepared in the Baohe Hall.

After Li Changqing takes his seat, everyone The state envoys took their seats one by one.

The specifications of the state banquet are very particular. The closer they sit, the stronger the country's strength.

Sitting in the lower right seat of Li Changqing is the envoy of the Western Turks, and the envoy of the Tibetans is sitting in the lower left seat.

So. Going down in order, Gaochang Kingdom, Qiuci Kingdom, Guhun, Fusang Kingdom...

He casually said a few opening remarks, Qing raised a toast, and the banquet officially began.

For a while, vocal music sounded in the palace, and groups of palaces wearing Luo skirts The music girl Yingying walked into the palace and performed songs and dances.

The songs and dances of Han women have always been admired and obsessed with by the countries in the Western Regions, because Han women have a graceful and delicate beauty that women in the Western Regions do not have.

The envoys from the various countries in the hall admired the choreography. Drinking the fine wine, everyone was in high spirits. They stood up in turn to toast Li Changqing and said complimentary words. After drinking for three rounds, the Fusang envoy suddenly stood up and smiled at Li Changqing:"I have long heard that the Tang Dynasty is the first emperor of the Yu Nei Dynasty. In a powerful country, the might of King Wu is unparalleled. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is really impressive.

King Wu first destroyed the group of barbarians in the East Turks, and then made Tibet surrender based on his reputation alone. This kind of martial arts is the only one in the world. Everyone in Fusang Kingdom sincerely respects King Wu."

As soon as the envoy from the Fusang Kingdom said this, the envoys from all the countries at the banquet had strange expressions, especially the envoys from the Western Turks and Tibet, who looked at him even more gloomily. The envoys from other countries flattered

Li Changqing. That's all. What does this mean when the Fusang envoy flatters the two countries and involves them?

The East Turks and the West Turks were originally one family, but later they split. Although the West Turks didn't feel much about the destruction of the East Turks, they could at any rate Even though they are from the same sect, it is really annoying to be called barbarians by others.

Not to mention the Tubo, although it is true that Li Changqing made them surrender based on his reputation, but where can they put their faces by saying it so bluntly?

Although the Fusang envoy's words flattered Li Changqing, they scolded both of them.

Li Changqing twirled the wine glass, looked at the Fusang envoy, and said:"It's not that a few people are strong in force, but The rulers of the Western Turks and Tibet were unwilling to start a war that would lead to the destruction of their lives, and they felt the benevolence of our Tang Dynasty, so they took the initiative to surrender.

This is an act of saintliness, and I am very pleased."

The envoys of both countries are here, so we always have to save some face for them. This is a friendship between great powers.

Although Li Changqing has long held the intention to conquer the Western Turks and Tubo in one fell swoop after his 410,000 troops are trained. plan.

The Western Turkic and Tubo envoys looked a little better, and they all agreed with Li Changqing's words and praised King Wu's benevolence.

But they looked at the Fusang envoy with very unkind eyes.

"King Wu is too humble. King Wu's army is unparalleled in the world, and he is invincible in every battle."

The Fusang envoy didn't care at all about the murderous looks of the Tibetan and Western Turkic envoys, and continued to smile flatteringly at Li Changqing:

"To be honest, King Fusang of our country has admired the culture of the Central Plains for a long time. Before his mission to the Tang Dynasty, he specially ordered me to lead the mission to stay in the Tang Dynasty to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty.

I heard that King Wu had opened hundreds of colleges and military academies, and I begged King Wu to allow his ministers to lead the envoys to study in the academy."

After hearing this, Li Changqing and the envoys from other countries understood the real purpose of this Fusang envoy. It turned out that he wanted to enter Baijia Academy and the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty.

"Fusang was so naive."Li Changqing secretly sneered in his heart.

Whether it is the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty or the Baijia Academy, they are all top priorities. How can he let him pass the school because of the content involved?

If he wants to learn Confucian academics or Buddhist classics, Li Changqing doesn't mind.

He even wants to send some monks to Fusang!
