Chapter 54 Return Gift(2/2)
The speaker is Shi Yao, the God Blessing Star, now the royal guard.
Her facial features are very delicate, her face is charming, and she has purple hair shawl.
But the most eye-catching thing is.
It's not her flowing long purple hair, but the pair of peaks that hold up the fabric on her chest. When viewed up close, it turns out to be an almost perfect ball shape.
Although she is already middle-aged, her appearance no longer looks young.
But as a powerful person at the level of Great Heaven, Shi Yao's appearance and figure are undoubtedly well maintained. Overall, he looks only in his thirties.
Thirties...
There is no doubt that this is the most mature age for a woman, like a ripe apple, waiting for a destined person to pick the fruit she has preserved for many years.
"Sir, why did Your Majesty leave so many forces behind? What qualifications do Huanyinfang and Xuanming Sect have to compare with bad people? Isn't it enough to have bad people?"
The woman wearing a black leather dress asked her doubtful question.
"Your Majesty, the most taboo thing is for one family to dominate. However, I feel that Your Majesty deliberately left Huanyinfang and Xuanming Sect behind, probably to protect bad people." Shi Yao said in an uncertain tone.
The emperor's thoughts were unpredictable and difficult to guess, and she didn't know whether her guess was accurate.
But for now.
Emperor Li Xingyun of the Tang Dynasty still trusts bad people, and is not as defensive and vigilant as those emperors of the Tang Dynasty in the past.
......
An hour passed.
Chang'an City, Daming Palace, Jinluan Palace.
There was a person sitting on the majestic dragon chair. The ordinary-looking young man disappeared. He put on the dragon robe and transformed into the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with imperial majesty.
Clothes are important, but they are not important either now or in future generations. Unless the whole world knows you, the clothes you wear are your identity that is not shown to the outside world.
This.
Even Li Xingyun, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had no way to avoid it. At least he couldn't prove his identity as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty by just talking about it, at least without producing something to prove his identity.
"Little loyal son, please follow the order and invite the envoys from various countries to visit you." Li Xingyun said calmly.
The little loyal son he calls is none other than his current personal eunuch Li Jinzhong.
Even though he is just a eunuch, he is indeed very capable.
Every time Li Xingyun sneaks out of the palace, he is indispensable for his help.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Jinzhong replied respectfully.
The next second.
"Your Majesty has an order to announce that the envoys from the Kingdom of Wu are here to see you." A slightly sharp voice sounded.
"Your Majesty has an order to announce that the envoys from the Kingdom of Wu are here to meet you!" This sharp voice came from the distance.
"Your Majesty has an order to announce that the envoys from the Kingdom of Wu are here to see you!" This voice also came from further away.
Ten minutes later.
A group of hundreds of people, led by a lively and lovely woman, came to the center of the Golden Palace and knelt down under the gaze of all the civil and military officials in the court.
"Wu State, a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yu'er, the daughter of King Wu Yang Pu, was titled Princess Shangrao and met the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Yang Yu'er [Princess Shangrao] recited the predetermined lines in a rigid tone. If her father Yang Pu hadn't insisted on her coming, she would definitely not be willing to be the representative of the Wu envoy.
"Get flat." Li Xingyun said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Yu'er [Princess Shangrao] stood up without hesitation. She didn't know any martial arts, and her knees hurt when she knelt on the ground. If she hadn't been concerned about Li Xingyun's status as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, she would have stood up long ago.
"Half a year has passed since the enthronement ceremony. Is King Wu in good health?" Li Xingyun asked.
"Father is in good health." Yang Yu'er [Princess Shangrao] replied.
Perhaps she has never seen so many civil and military officials. Yang Yuer [Princess Shangrao] looked left and right, and all the civil and military officials present were blowing their beards and staring.
"That's good. King Wu is already old, so he should pay more attention to taking care of himself." Li Xingyun nodded slightly.

Finish this sentence.
Li Xingyun noticed the restless behavior of Yang Yu'er [Princess Shangrao], and thinking of her unique character, the corner of her mouth inadvertently twitched.
"Come here, give Princess Shangrao a seat." Li Xingyun said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I didn't expect that you are such a good person!"
Yang Yu'er [Princess Shangrao] glanced at Li Xingyun unexpectedly. She always thought that he was a very cruel and boring person, but she never expected that he would care about women.
Li Xingyun was too lazy to pay attention to her and looked at the Wu envoys.
Soon.
A man walked out of the Wu envoys, picked up the memorial in his hand and started reading.
"I am terrified. The traitors Zhu Wen and his son have been occupying the royal power of the Tang Dynasty for more than thirty years. In order to protect themselves, they can only establish their own vassal and subjugation to protect the safety of the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"However, I have always been looking forward to the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, so I have always regarded myself as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."
"Now that the traitor Zhu Wen and his son have been executed, the Tang Dynasty has been restored, and the world is at peace, I should pay my tribute."
Read this.
The man from the Wu envoy paused for a moment before continuing: "The tribute gifts are as follows: one hundred beauties, five hundred pieces of silk, one thousand white jade pearls, five thousand taels of gold, and three coral jade carvings.
A luminous pearl under the sea."
While he was talking about these tribute gifts, these tribute gifts have now been handed over and entered the inner treasury of Li Xingyun, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
It belongs to the inner treasury of the royal family and does not go into the national treasury.
Of course.
Li Xingyun can also divide these things into the national treasury, but if he wants to divide them from the national treasury into his own internal treasury, it is not that easy to do.
It is easy to get private things into public houses, but it is not easy to take things from public houses.
Even the emperor Li Xingyun is the same. The most he can do is emulate the people below and become corrupt.
But if even he, the emperor, starts to embezzle the state treasury, then the Tang Dynasty may be on the verge of collapse.
There are some things.
The ministers can do it, but the emperor cannot.
......
After the tribute and congratulations were recited, there was silence in the court hall for a long time.
At this time.
Li Jinzhong walked gently to Li Xingyun and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, according to past practice, as the sovereign state of the Tang Dynasty, we need to return gifts to these vassal states, and the value of these things must be above them, so as not to lose them.
The face of heaven.”
Return gift?
It is impossible to return a gift in return.
What kind of face is so valuable?
I, Pixiu, can only go in but not out.
If there are less tributes and gifts next year, let the bad guys go to that vassal country.
