This hunting trip was more entertaining than previous years, more like a big party. That night, Emperor Liu was in the shadows, and there was a banquet with the emperor and his guests. Emperor Liu was the master, and the most important thing
The guests are the tribal leaders and representatives who have traveled thousands of miles to come to Beijing.
It has to be said that these foreign envoys, from Emperor Liu on down, all showed more than seventy points of sincerity and enthusiasm. Not only did they entertain them with good food, drinks and fun in Luoyang, but Emperor Liu personally hosted a banquet more than once.
Already.
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 night gets darker, sinking like water, and the noisy noise that has lasted from day to night finally falls silent. The gentle summer breeze blows over the hills and across the grassy fields, lifting the flag corners and curtains, bringing bursts of refreshment as we camp.
What remains unchanged inside is always tight guarding and patrolling, especially around Emperor Liu's imperial tent, where there are many guards and is almost isolated from the outside world.
The Royal Tent, strictly speaking, should be called the Imperial Tent, named "Dragon Palace". It is almost a mobile palace and cannot be called majestic, but it is fully equipped to meet the needs of Emperor Liu for living, studying, handling official affairs, etc.
.Furthermore, it is also detachable, and it took a lot of hard work and wisdom from many skilled craftsmen to create it.
Well, it’s Emperor Sui Yang who learned from it again... Of course, this was also caused by internal funds. In fact, after various expenditures and various internal expenses of the palace, Emperor Liu’s originally full
The small treasury is also beginning to be under pressure.
The internal decoration of the "Dragon Palace", which was built with a lot of money, highlights the nobility and luxury. This was for Emperor Liu to enjoy. Of course, it was only during this peaceful time that he would live in it when he was on tour. Of course, there is also one behind the Fu Empress.
It was called "Phoenix Palace" just because Emperor Liu respected her and showed equal importance to both emperor and empress, but she never used it.
Inside the tent, the candlelight arrangement is very layered, and even the number is strictly standardized. The light is soft and covers almost every corner of the tent. It echoes with the gold, jade and silver ornaments, making it even more resplendent and sparkling.
The atmosphere was quite warm. Emperor Liu was sitting in front of the couch, with his feet stretched out in a deep and large footbath filled with hot water. The most important thing was that Queen Dafu personally washed his feet.
Emperor Liu's face was rosy and a little drunk, but his eyes were clear. During the banquet, he drank some wine to show his hospitality, but this was obviously a show of force. Generally speaking, if Emperor Liu was really happy, he would not
Too reserved.
Emperor Liu's sitting posture seemed a bit obedient. He looked down at Dafu who was squatting in front of him and carefully washing his feet. He couldn't help but sigh: "Dafu, do you think we are imitating the ancients who raised their eyebrows to raise a case? The harps and the music are playing in harmony?"
Hearing this, Da Fu raised his head and asked, "Why do you say this?"
Emperor Liu smiled and said: "To hold my smelly feet with your motherly hands, I feel guilty and can't bear it!"
Emperor Liu said this, obviously with a bit of a joke. Hearing this, Dafu also laughed and responded: "The official family has two feet, stepping on the world, establishing the world, how can it not bear it, but it is not like being able to serve it?"
The honor of my hands?”
Emperor Liu couldn't help but smile, and finally pulled up the big talisman, and said caringly: "Forget it, no matter how bad it is, I have the skills to take care of myself. Being served like this by you, I intuitively become lazy... ..."
"The official is the Son of Heaven. He has the highest status and is rich all over the world. No amount of service is too much. Furthermore, the country, the country, and the country are all burdened with heavy responsibilities. You should devote more time and energy to As for the management of state affairs, as for other things, you don’t need to worry too much!" Empress Fu said.
"Dafu! Why are you always so considerate?" Emperor Liu chuckled.
"Guan family, the Crown Prince is here. Waiting outside the tent!" During the chat, Yantuo came to report.
Emperor Liu's smile did not diminish and he immediately ordered: "Let him come in!"
"yes!"
After only a short while, Liu Yang passed through the many curtain doors and entered, until he stood in front of the emperor. When he saw Emperor Liu and his wife, he immediately saluted and said hello.
"You father and son have something to discuss, so I won't disturb you and retreat first!" Upon seeing this, Emperor Liu didn't even need to speak, Empress Fu took the initiative.
Emperor Liu nodded, so the queen stood up leisurely under Liu Yang's respectful gaze and walked 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 turned red, and he tried hard to stay awake so as not to lose his bearings before the emperor. Upon seeing this, Emperor Liu asked: "Still still drunk? Do you need some sobering tea? ?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yang immediately held up his hands and said, "I'm much better now. I can't resist the hospitality tonight. I drank a few more glasses and made dad laugh!"
"It seems that you are still too down-to-earth. You can act in moderation. How can you drink a cup full of it!" Emperor Liu taught him a lesson: "Wine is a medicine that penetrates the intestines, and sex is a bone scraper. You should remember it!"
Although Emperor Liu was not qualified to educate others on this matter, he had spoken and Liu Yang did not dare to refute anything. He could only bow his head and accept the teaching honestly.
Emperor Liu took his feet out of the basin and put them on the edge. Seeing this, Liu Yang immediately stepped forward, picked up a towel, and wanted to wipe his feet. Emperor Liu was still very pleased with his initiative, but he said He refused: "No, you sit down and talk!"
"yes!"
"How do you and Liu Xu discuss with the various tribes and forces coming to Beijing?" Emperor Liu asked while wiping his feet in a leisurely manner.
After hearing the question, Liu Yang organized some speeches, and then said calmly: "After several discussions, we have basically reached a consensus with all parties. They also came with a mission and expressed their willingness to become a vassal of the Han Dynasty, accept the canonization by the imperial court, and also The imperial court cooperates to jointly maintain the stability of various ethnic groups and regions, eliminate disputes, alleviate conflicts, benefit the people and the people, and promote peace..."
Liu Yang was interrupted before he finished speaking. Emperor Liu waved his hand decisively and said: "There is no need to say these things in front of me!"
With a slight embarrassment on his face, Liu Yang pondered for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Now that the Han Dynasty is at its peak, after the second attack on the Liao Kingdom and the great defeat of the Khitan, looking at the inner world, there are no more opponents. The barbarians are frightened, and they are afraid of the Han soldiers." They were afraid that the imperial court would continue to develop, annex their lands, and recruit their people.
Now, the imperial court takes the initiative to invite them, express their goodwill, discuss peace plans, and eliminate military disasters. They are naturally happy and relieved!
In addition, the imperial court fully affirmed their status and power and satisfied their rights to the land and the autonomy of the tribes and people. The Han got its name and they got the truth. They could also strengthen exchanges with the Han in all aspects and develop together, which showed that
