The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 938 With the blessing of heaven, our emperor will live forever and his kingdom will be forever stable!

(Thanks for the rest of the monthly tickets of love~)

Before entering the Taiji Hall, Li Sanniang heard the sound of cheerful palace music.

Even though Li Sanniang knew little about music, she could tell that this music was different from the music she had heard in the alley in the past.

Sure enough, when the court officials entered the Taiji Hall one by one according to seniority, Li Sanniang looked towards a corner of the hall and saw at least thirty court musicians sitting or standing densely packed there.

Li Sanniang originally thought that there were quite a few people, but when she sat down beside the desk as instructed by the palace servant, she raised her head and looked elsewhere, and saw that there were more than twenty musicians in green round-necked robes standing in front of two sets of musical instruments consisting of chimes and stone chimes hung on stands.

At this moment, looking at so many palace musicians, listening to the music that could not be heard in the streets, and looking at the dishes and food on her desk, Li Sanniang realized that she had achieved something. Not only could she attend the palace banquet, but she could also have a front-row seat.

Yes, Li Sanniang's position in the Imperial Medical Bureau was in the front row. In front of her were Director Wang and two other senior chief physicians. She and the other chief physician were in the second row.

Li Sanniang looked at the nine magnificent golden pillars in the hall and wondered how much copper powder would be needed to create them?
And the bright lights made the hall as bright as day. How many candles and lanterns of different styles were lit?

Before Li Sanniang could sigh about all this in her heart, she heard the musicians changing their tunes, and the sounds of palace servants leading the way could be heard outside the hall.

A curved official voice came over, and Li Sanniang looked towards the entrance of the hall like everyone else. Sure enough, the tribesmen of the vassal state, dressed in colorful clothes and with pigtails, walked in.

The one walking in front should be the current Great Khan of Eastern Turkic Khaganate. He is very easy to recognize because his hairstyle is very unique even among the foreigners.

When this person passed by the Honglu Temple, he stopped and saluted to the Minister of Honglu Temple, who then stood up and returned the salute.

Then, within the next half hour, the palace servants led about a hundred foreigners into the hall.

The first twenty or thirty foreigners who came could still get a seat in the front, but the later ones could only sit away from the main seat.

The leader of the small tribe was arranged at the entrance of the hall and he was actually very happy. You know, even if he was at the entrance, he was at least in the same hall with Emperor Wu.

This is much better than sitting in the front row in the Liangyi Hall.

After waiting for about half an hour, when Li Sanniang's butt was numb from sitting, the musicians' music finally changed, and a melodious yet solemn music sounded in the hall.

Li Sanniang quickly stood up like the other officials. This was the sign that Emperor Wu was about to appear, as the officials from the Ministry of Rites had already agreed upon.

The sharp but clear voice of the palace attendant was very obvious among the music: "The saint has arrived."

"Saints be with you."

Li Sanniang bowed her head and saluted with the other eunuchs to Emperor Wu. Although she could not look up at Emperor Wu directly, just by watching Emperor Wu walking by himself, she could feel the supremacy of the imperial power.

After Emperor Wu walked to the front, climbed the steps and sat on the throne, Prince Xiang and a group of other princes from the royal family went to their seats.

After that came the first and second rank officials in charge of various departments, dressed in scarlet robes, among whom was Mr. Bu Ke.

Mr. Bu Ke was the first person on the left of Emperor Wu, and the first person on the right of Emperor Wu was Prince Xiang, and next to Prince Xiang was Princess Taiping. So it is not an exaggeration to say that Mr. Bu Ke was Emperor Wu's confidant and the most popular person around him.

What followed was the routine process of greeting and returning gifts, introducing the leaders of the main vassal states and tribes, some flattery, and then the royal family starting with the Prince of Xiang came to congratulate Emperor Wu on his birthday. After the royal family finished congratulating, officials of the third rank and above came to say a few words in a flowery manner, and finally the members of the vassal states and tribes came forward.

At this time, Li Sanniang leaned forward slightly and looked forward. She was also very curious about what good things these vassal states could offer as tribute.

Although we should not be too proud, the Tang Dynasty at that time was indeed worthy of the words "the Celestial Empire, with abundant resources."

". We offer as tribute one hundred high-quality inch-long pearls and a piece of high-quality red coral from the South China Sea."

The lengthy roll call made it difficult for the eyes to watch the tributes brought up by the palace servants. Li Sanniang could not help but silently say in her heart: "Wow, it's really a good thing. How much manpower and material resources must have been spent to find it."

Before Li Sanniang could sigh and lament that it was no wonder that so many people flocked to the supreme imperial power, a team of eight soldiers carrying a rack covered with red cloth walked into the hall.

"The Luoyun Tribe of the South Sea offered as tribute a piece of rare stone ten feet high."

The load carried by eight people fell carefully to the ground, and Li Sanniang felt a dull vibration. She could imagine how heavy the boulder was.

Emperor Wu was leisurely holding a small wine glass in his hand and looking at the huge rock covered with red cloth below. "Haha, interesting. Come, my son Taiping, help me uncover the red cloth and see what good things the Luoyun tribe has given me."

"Yes, saint."

Princess Taiping stood up and saluted, then walked towards the huge rock on the open space in the middle of the hall. When she got closer, she pulled down the red cloth covering it, and a huge rock about two people tall with a luster as white as mutton-fat jade appeared in front of everyone.

"what!"

"It's so true!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Princess Taiping, who was standing beside the boulder, was also shocked by its appearance. After two breaths, Princess Taiping finally reacted. She turned around, faced Emperor Wu at the top, bowed and said, "Saint, this is a great gift!
There are strange stones in the world that look like saints. This must be the blessing from heaven for the saints to live forever and for the country to be forever strong! "

As soon as Princess Taiping said this, the prominent official Bao stood up and echoed: "May the heavens bless our emperor to live forever and his country be forever strong!"

The atmosphere was right, and all the ministers and officials, as well as the vassal states and foreigners, stood up again and shouted: "May the Emperor live forever and his country be forever secure!"

Let’s not talk about what everyone is thinking, but on this surface, each and every one of them is extremely loyal.

In fact, in Li Sanniang's opinion, it was not far-fetched to say that the strange stone, which was as white as jade, looked like a woman. However, to say that it looked very similar to Emperor Wu was just a resemblance for the sake of resemblance.

However, from ancient times to the present, such things are all hyped up by people. Is it to create momentum?
