God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 637 Tribute
The next day.

Tribute ceremony.

Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty felt elated.

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites stayed up all night, preparing for today's grand ceremony.

According to the procedure, Li Er first went to the early court, and then the prince of Dongying, Su Woyazi, paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and then held a music and dance ceremony, and all civil and military officials and Dongying envoys reveled together.

The ceremony is ready.

Even Li Erxia's imperial decree to Dongying has been written. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er naturally wants to praise Dongying and Su Woyazi by the way.

Early in the morning, civil and military officials rushed to the Tai Chi Hall.

Duhe came too.

This grand ceremony was personally called by Li Er to invite him to come, and everyone welcomed Du He to the front. After all, this time Dongpu was able to attack and save Datang's face, Du He contributed a lot.

Not long after, Li Er arrived, discussed with the ministers about the rewards to Dongying, and asked the Ministry of Rites to preside over the tribute ceremony.

Outside the Taiji Hall, the long stairs are covered with a red carpet inlaid with gold.

Zhao Yang raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Xuan Dongying's envoys pay tribute!"

dong dong dong.

Dangdang.

The bells and drums sounded, and the musicians began to perform music hard.

The ministers of civil and military affairs lined up on both sides. Su Woyazi and others dressed up and walked along the red carpet to the Tai Chi Hall. There were twelve people behind him, each holding a big box in their hands.

……

Su Woyazi and others walked to the center of the hall.

"See Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live the Tang Dynasty!" Although Su Woyazi felt unwilling, he was honest and respectful at the moment.

Zhao Yang announced: "The prince of Dongying, Su Woyazi, has traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an..."

It took a long time to chant a stick of incense before stopping.

Du He almost fell asleep when he heard it.

Afterwards, Li Er announced: "Su Wo Yazi, present the treasure you brought, I am very interested in the treasure of Dongpu!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Su Woyazi stood aside.

The envoy Matsushita Xia Fu was the first.

He came forward with the box in his arms.

Su Woyazi pointed to the box and explained: "Your Majesty, this object is called Wanhua Liuliyu, which is a famous treasure in Dongying. It is the size of a fist and is transparent throughout. There are two blooming flowers in it, as if alive. It is a priceless treasure!"

After hearing this, everyone was very curious and interested.

Some even praised Dongying people for their willingness!

Du He curled his lips: "What nonsense glazed jade, isn't this just a broken piece of amber?"

Li Er was in a good mood when he heard this, and said again and again: "Okay, okay, Prince Su Woyazi, you have a heart, open it quickly, and let me have a look!"

Su Woyazi agreed, stepped forward, opened the box, and said, "Your Majesty, everyone, please look, this is the Wanhua Liuliyu!"

He looked smug.

As if to say, look, you are just a bunch of bumpkins, ignorant bastards.

Su Woyazi enjoyed everyone's attention.

Huh?
No, why are everyone not looking at Liuliyu, but looking at themselves?
Su Woyazi was surprised to find that everyone was staring at him in surprise, instead of looking at the things in the box.

He bowed his head.

Immediately froze.

Su Woyazi was dumbfounded.

There was nothing in the box.

The box was intact, and the high-grade silk inside was also intact, except for the Wanhua Liuliyu, which was missing.

Su Woyazi's complexion changed, and he asked, "Panasonic, what's going on?"

Matsushita Xiafu had a hellish expression: "I, I, I, I don't know, Prince, this box has been locked all the time, and the key is also with you, why did it disappear?"

Su Wo's face turned green with anger.

The ghost, it must be the ghost!

These twelve boxes are the most important things for him to go to Tang Dynasty this time. They are as important as Dongying treasure ships, so each box is locked with the best lock, and only he has the key. After entering Chang'an, They have been sent to guard strictly, how could it be lost?

Li Er frowned: "Okay, Su Woyazi, don't stand still, let's present the next one! Now is not the time for you to pursue it!"

"Yes!"

Matsushita Xia Mo backed away in embarrassment.

Another envoy came forward with a box.

Su Woyazi calmed down his emotions and said, "Your Majesty, this thing is called Wannian Ice Crystal, and it was obtained from Dongying Snow Mountain..."

Su Woyazi was about to give an eloquent introduction to alleviate the embarrassment just now, but Du He interrupted him impatiently: "Su Woyazi, you should just open the box and let everyone have a look, lest you gossip and brag about it." Fan, opened the box but it was empty, isn't this a waste of everyone's mood..."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone was amused by Du He's words and laughed together.

Su Woya turned her head and gave Du He a vicious look before opening the box unwillingly.

The box is opened.

Su Wo was stunned.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Er was also stunned.

The box was still empty.

Su Woyazi seemed to have ten thousand muddy horses galloping past.

The ministers all stared at Su Woyazi.

"How is this going?"

"I have been an official for many years, and I have seen a lot. I have seen a lot of foreign envoys attacking me, but this is the first time I have encountered such a situation!"

"The Dongying people are too much, they are almost defiant!"

"This is humiliating me, Datang!"

Everyone was talking.

Su Woyazi wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in.

In a fit of anger, he asked the remaining ten people to come forward and open all nine boxes in one go.

The nine boxes were empty, like monsters with big mouths laughing at each other.

In the main hall, it was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

In the end, Su Woyazi walked to the last box step by step, which was the biggest box, and inside it was the most precious treasure of Japan - Ye Mingzhu.

wow.

The box is opened.

empty!

Known as a priceless treasure, the largest luminous pearl in the world has disappeared!
Su Wo's teeth seemed to be struck by lightning, and he stood there stupidly, his chest was extremely heavy, he opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

boom.

Li Eryi slapped the table, stood up, and said angrily: "How dare you tease me, you son of a bitch, come here, drag him out, expel him from Chang'an, and never enter the Tang Dynasty. Dongying has no one in his eyes. From now on, All the Dongying people in Chang'an will be expelled!"

After speaking, Li Eryi flicked his sleeves and left.

The civil and military ministers looked at each other.

The imperial army rushed in like wolves and tigers, and drove Su Woyazi and others out of the Taiji Hall.

A good tribute ceremony, just like this wasted.

Wei Zheng asked curiously: "Although Su Woyazi is arrogant, it is a big deal to pay tribute today. He wouldn't make a bunch of empty boxes to fool him. I don't know if Ye Mingzhu is real or not, but other things are not worth much. Money, it’s impossible that Dongpu can’t even come up with it!”

Du He said: "What's so strange about this, the shameless Dongying people can't do anything!"

Wei Zheng and others: "..."

Du He waved his hand, bid farewell to everyone and left.

As for the later matters, he didn't bother to care about them, so let Su Wo have a headache.
