Old Fang's "government work report" made Li Er quite satisfied. This could be seen from the obvious smile at the corner of his mouth.
Behind them, Du Ruhui stepped forward and continued to flatter Fang Xuanling. He said that the Saint cared about the people and should be worshipped by the people. Beautiful and dignified words came out of his mouth, which made people feel nauseous.
However, no one said anything to accuse Du Ruhui of flattering the Emperor. This was because it was the New Year. Who wouldn't choose to say something nice when speaking to each other? Unless these two had a grudge.
However, there was one exception, and that was Wei Zheng.
As Du Ruhui's words became more and more exaggerated, and the flattery became more and more excessive. His old face had long turned black. At this moment, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He raised his foot and was about to go up and accuse Du Ruhui, but he was stopped by Xiao Yu.
"Left Minister Wei, His Majesty has been cautious and conscientious for an entire year. Just let him do as he pleases for once. It's not a problem for the overall situation. "
Xiao Yu said softly.
Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn't go up.
After Du Ruhui finished his report, it was the turn of the chief officials of the six departments to go up and report.
Li Zexuan let out a long yawn. The reports of the chief officials of the six departments were like notes of a lullaby that made him sleepy. His heart was already numb.
Inadvertently, he glanced at a friend standing beside him. The latter had his head lowered and was shaking his head along with Zhangsun Wuji's report. During this time, he didn't forget to nod his head and praise. It was as if Zhangsun Wuji's boring report was a peerless piece of literature that left him with endless aftertaste.
Li Zexuan was just about to admire this friend's erudition, but who knew that the latter would let out a soft snoring sound. When he heard it, he almost vomited blood. He thought to himself, I almost fell for your nonsense! Sleeping while standing with his head down, this friend's sleeping skills were really high.
"Hey! Then I'll also take a nap! "
With this old man as an example, Li Zexuan also lowered his head and dozed off. After a while, he fell asleep standing up!
When the court session had just begun, the sky had not yet brightened. However, as time passed, the sun outside Taiji Palace shattered the dark blue canopy of the sky. Like a burning wheel of wind and fire, it suddenly rushed out of the horizon and revealed its face in the thin mist of Eastern Mountain, shooting out beams of intense golden light!
Behind them, the morning sun rose higher and higher from the entrance of the main hall. The light passed through the thin mist and gradually covered the entire Taiji Palace. The warm sunlight made the already warm Taiji Palace even warmer, causing some people to sleep even more soundly.
Li Zexuan didn't know if the martial arts strength of the Grandmaster realm would allow him to stand and not fall down. In any case, Li Zexuan had slept for nearly an hour and was still standing firmly in the same place, not moving at all. Even if he knew of this magnificent feat, he would probably be amazed by himself!
"All the envoys of the vassal states and affiliated countries, come in one by one!"
At this moment, Zhao Song, who was standing at the head of the table, spoke in a loud voice, waking Li Zexuan up from his sleep.
"Oh … it's not over yet?"
Li Zexuan opened his eyes and saw that the friend next to him was still sleeping while the court session was still going on. He couldn't help but grumble under his breath.
At the same time, he was deeply impressed by the sleeping skills of the friend next to him!
"On behalf of my father and the 800,000 people of Lingnan, Feng Zhidai wishes Your Majesty a new day of prosperity and longevity!"
Lingnan's chief, Feng Ang, had also sent an envoy to Chang 'an to participate in the court session. Perhaps out of fear of death, Feng Ang did not come to Chang' an personally. Naturally, the leader of the envoy was Feng Zhidai, who was still in Chang 'an as a hostage!
"Haha! Good! Minister Feng has governed Lingnan and made the people live and work in peace and contentment. It can be said that you have worked hard and made great contributions! I am very pleased, I am very pleased! "
Li Erda laughed.
It was unknown whether he was really pleased or not.
"The envoy of Zhenla, Puyatu, pays his respects to Your Majesty, the Emperor of Tang! Our Monarch wishes Your Majesty good health and the prosperity of the Tang Empire! "
The next envoy was quite interesting. He was also an old acquaintance of Li Zexuan — the envoy of Zhenla, Puyatu. The reason why he was interesting was that he had spoken completely in Chinese. Although there were some mistakes in his pronunciation, he spoke very fluently. This surprised Li Zexuan, who had just woken up from his dream!
One must know that a few months ago, although this Pu Ya Tu could speak a little Chinese, he spoke with difficulty. In just a few short months, this guy had actually practiced Chinese to such an extent? How could those foreigners in the future who couldn't learn Chinese endure this?!
"Good! Thank your Monarch on behalf of me! Tell him that I welcome him to Chang 'an as a guest! "
Li Erda had obviously noticed Puyatu's huge improvement in Chinese, and he smiled happily.
When Li Zexuan heard Li Erda's words, he could not help but roll his eyes. He thought to himself that although Puyatu was familiar with Chinese, he was not familiar enough to truly understand the profoundness of Chinese. Otherwise, he would definitely misunderstand that Li Erda wanted to capture their Monarch and bring him to Chang 'an as a guest!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Pu Ya Tu said a word of thanks and retreated!
In fact, he had not only come to give his New Year's greetings, but also to send gifts.
This time, his Monarch had asked him to bring a lot of local specialties. There was no need to mention the ivory and tiger skin. The rest were mostly things like jade. These gifts had already been handed over to the eunuchs of the Imperial Palace before the court, so he naturally could not move them to Taiji Palace.
There were still many officials who could not squeeze in and could only stand outside to enjoy the cold wind while listening to the conversation between the monarch and his subjects!
Next, the envoys from the small Nanyang countries who had come to the Tang Empire earlier were all here. They all came forward to pay their New Year's greetings to Li Erda.
Other than that, there were also envoys from Tubo, Gaochang, and other neighboring countries of the Tang Empire.
Finally, another envoy came forward. Li Zexuan could not help but narrow his eyes! Because the other party's attire was that of a Japanese!
"The eldest brother of the Japanese nation, Yamabei, pays his respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire! He also pays his respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire on behalf of our Monarch! "
"Japan!"
All the officials in the court looked at the person who spoke. A few months ago, the Tang Empire's "official" fleet had been ambushed in Japan's waters. More than a dozen crew members and dozens of soldiers had died because of it! Later, Li Xiaogong personally led the army to land on the Japanese island and went straight to the Japanese capital to avenge those dead soldiers!
Later, in order to bring supplies back to the Tang Empire as soon as possible, Li Xiaogong ordered the Japanese to capture Nakamura Kawa Yuo, the leader of the ambush on the Tang Empire's fleet. Otherwise, he would ask the imperial court to send troops to Japan again!
Now, at the critical juncture of the Lantern Festival, the Japanese had sent the Mountain Back Big Brother King to the Tang Empire. What was the meaning of this?
