Chapter 1408 "Dragon Palace"

Compared with previous years, this hunting trip was more entertaining, and it was more like a big party. On that night, Emperor Liu was in the shadows, and accompanied the emperor, ministers and guests at the banquet.Emperor Liu is the host, and the most important guests are the chiefs and representatives of the various tribes who have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing.

It has to be said that this time, for these foreign envoys, from Emperor Liu down, they have shown more than seven points of sincerity and enthusiasm. Not only did they entertain them with food, drink and fun in Luoyang, but Emperor Liu had a banquet in person more than once. up.

Therefore, the night banquet held in the camp can be described as a feast for the guests and the host, and it lasted until late at night.

The darker the night, it sinks like water, and the long-lasting hustle and bustle from day to night finally returns to silence. The summer wind blows, blows over the hills, across the grass, and shakes the corner curtains, bringing bursts of refreshing, while camping What remains unchanged inside is strict guarding and patrolling, especially around the imperial tent where Emperor Liu is located, surrounded by guards, almost isolated from the outside world.

Strictly speaking, the Royal Tent should be called the Palace Tent, named "Dragon Palace". It is almost a mobile palace, and it is difficult to call it a towering palace, but it is fully equipped to meet the needs of Emperor Liu for living, reading, and handling official business. .Moreover, this is also detachable, and it took a lot of effort and wisdom of many skilled craftsmen of Yousi to create it.

Well, I learned from Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty again. Of course, this was also made from internal funds. In fact, after various expenditures and various internal expenses of the palace, Emperor Liu’s small coffers, which were originally full, also It's starting to get stressful.

As for the "Dragon Palace", which was built with a lot of money, the interior decoration highlights a noble luxury, which is for the enjoyment of Emperor Liu. Of course, it is only in this peaceful time that he takes it out to live in when he is on tour.Of course, there is also one for the Empress Fu, which is called "Phoenix Hall". However, it is only because Emperor Liu respects her, so that the emperor and empress are equally important, but she has never used it.

Inside the tent, the candlelights are arranged in a very layered manner, even the quantity has strict standards, and the lighting is soft, covering almost every corner of the tent, echoing with the gold, jade and silver ornaments, making it even more resplendent and shining.

The atmosphere was relatively warm. Emperor Liu sat in front of the couch, with his feet stretched out in the deep and large footbasin, which contained hot water. The most important thing was that the Empress Dafu personally washed his feet.

Emperor Liu's complexion was rosy, with a hint of alcohol, but his eyes were clear.During the banquet, he drank some wine to show his hospitality, but this was obviously a play on the spot. Generally speaking, Emperor Liu was really happy and would not be too reserved.

Emperor Liu's sitting posture seemed a little cute. He looked down at the big talisman sitting in front of him, carefully scrubbing his feet, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "Big talisman, do you think we are following the example of the ancients and raising eyebrows? Harmony?"

Hearing this, Da Fu raised his head and asked, "Why is there such a saying?"

Emperor Liu smiled and said, "I feel ashamed to hold my stinky feet with your mother's hand, and I can't bear it!"

When Emperor Liu said this, he was obviously joking.Hearing this, Dafu also laughed, and replied: "The official's feet, stepping on the universe, set the world, how can I not afford it, and it's an honor for my hands to serve it?"

Emperor Liu couldn't help smiling, and finally pulled up the big talisman, and said caringly: "Forget it, someone is waiting for you, no matter how bad it is, I have hands, and I can take care of myself. Being served by you like this makes me feel lazy."

"The official family is the son of heaven, the nine-five-year honor, rich in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to enjoy any kind of service. Moreover, the country, the country, and the great burden are all on your shoulders. You will spend more time and energy on it. As for the management of state affairs, as for other things, you don’t need to pay too much attention!” Fu Hou said.

"Big talisman! Why are you always so considerate?" Emperor Liu chuckled.

"Officials, the crown prince is here, wait outside the tent!" During the joke, Yan Tuo came to report.

Emperor Liu smiled unabated, and immediately ordered: "Let him in!",

"Yes!"

After a short while, Liu Yang walked in through the curtain door of the tent, and stood in front of the emperor. When he saw Emperor Liu and his wife, he immediately saluted and greeted him.

"You father and son have something to discuss, so I won't disturb each other, and retreat first!" Seeing this, Emperor Liu didn't even need to speak, the Empress Fu took the initiative to say.

Emperor Liu nodded, so the empress stood up leisurely under the respectful gaze of the emperor Liu Yang, and turned into the inner hall, leaving enough space for the father and son to talk.

At this time, Liu Yang also had a little drunkenness on his face, his face was flushed, and he tried hard to stay awake so as not to lose his dignity.Seeing this, Emperor Liu asked, "Still drunk? Do you need some hangover tea?"

Hearing the question, Liu Yang immediately cupped his hands and said: "I'm much better now, I can't resist the kindness tonight, I drank a few more glasses, I made dad laugh!"

"It seems that you are still too serious. You can act in moderation, just in moderation, how can you drink to the full!" Emperor Liu taught, "Wine is a medicine for piercing the intestines, and sex is a knife for scraping bones. You should remember it!"

Although Emperor Liu did not have much qualifications to educate others on this matter, when he spoke, Liu Yang did not dare to refute, so he could only bow his head and accept the teaching honestly.

Emperor Liu's feet were taken out of the basin and placed on the edge. Seeing this, Liu Yang immediately stepped forward, picked up a towel, and wanted to wipe his feet.Emperor Liu was very pleased with his initiative, but he refused, "No need, sit down and talk!"

"Yes!"

"As for the various clans and forces coming to Beijing, how do you discuss with Liu Xu?" Emperor Liu asked while wiping his feet in an orderly manner.

Wen asked, Liu Yang organized the language, and then calmly said: "After several consultations, we have basically reached a consensus with all parties. They also came with a mission and expressed their willingness to become subjects of the great Han Dynasty, accept the canonization of the imperial court, and agree with them. The imperial court cooperates to jointly maintain the stability of various ethnic groups and regions, eliminate disputes, ease conflicts, benefit the people of the tribe, and promote peace."

Before Liu Yang finished speaking, he was interrupted. Emperor Liu decisively waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say these scenes in front of me!"

With a little embarrassment on his face, Liu Yang pondered for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Now the Han Dynasty is at its peak. After the second expedition to the Liao Kingdom and the defeat of Khitan, there is no opponent in the universe. The barbarians are terrified, and they fear the Han soldiers He is also afraid that the imperial court will continue to develop, annex its land, and recruit its tribesmen.

Now, the imperial court took the initiative to invite them to express their goodwill, to discuss peace plans, and to eliminate military disasters and chaos. They are naturally happy and breathed a sigh of relief!

In addition, even though they were professed as ministers to the Great Han, the imperial court fully affirmed their status and power and satisfied their autonomy over the land and tribesmen. The Great Han got its name, and they got the truth. Surrender is not difficult to accept! "
