He ascended the throne as emperor at the age of thirty-six.
This year is Pingyu's thirty-seventh year.
After all, he is already seventy-two years old.
In ancient times, when the average life span was no more than forty-five years old, this was already considered a long life.
Therefore.
His birthday every year will be a grand event. The Ministry of Rites often starts to prepare for the next year's birthday after this year's birthday. Every time, the capital is extremely luxurious, full of fireworks, and bustling.
Long Yan is very tolerant and has been open to all kinds of people since ancient times.
Therefore, on this day, thousands of people from all over the world come to pay their respects and praise the prosperous age of Dragon Flame.
Since last month, people have been coming to the capital one after another, waiting for this grand event. Carriages and carriages of luxury gifts were brought into Beijing. In June, Beijing is the busiest and attracts the world's attention.
Ma Zhizhong, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, has been very busy recently.
Just counting the gifts sent by these people made his head feel big.
"This year is really strange. Each messenger seems to bring more gifts than in previous years?"
Ma Zhizhong frowned slightly, thinking about this matter.
Just looking at the small country of Loulan in the Western Region, the gifts sent this time are astonishing. Many of them are imported from the West. They are considered powerful natives in the capital, and there are many good things they have never seen before.
.
"Oh, my lord, isn't this a good thing?"
A subordinate smiled and said: "This shows that we, Long Yan, are a heavenly country, and the blessings of the Holy God are spread all over the world. Those barbarian vassals will naturally come to show their filial piety and seek enlightenment."
Ma Zhizhong smiled coldly: "You, the situation is too small, the situation is too small..."
The two of them were counting things and directing people to put things into storage.
The subordinate was stunned: "Oh? How can you say this, sir?"
Ma Zhizhong smiled faintly: "Little Wang, remember, these barbarians are all gangrenous. If you are really strong, they will come and kneel down and lick you. It's not like we don't know the temper of the Holy Lord. How much money do you give to others?"
, he will reward twice as much! But this year’s situation..."
The subordinate's expression suddenly changed.
What Ma Zhizhong said is indeed correct.
What the Longyan Dynasty has always wanted is the sense of dignity of a heavenly kingdom. The Longyan Dynasty, which claims to be a heavenly kingdom, no matter how many vassals come to worship each year, they will pay twice the original price.
Give me more rewards! It’s nothing, just to save face, to be grand, and to be arrogant.
However this year...
Ma Zhizhong smelled something amiss.
Almost all the vassal states doubled their offerings this time. Are they more respectful to the Longyan Dynasty?
No.
They have their own ideas.
Everyone knows that Xie Tianyao's health has been deteriorating this year.
Sudden.
He was startled.
These vassals, this time, want to hollow out the Longyan Dynasty! The ambition of these people is evident!
What do they want to do?
He was startled, turned around quickly, and ran towards Shangshu's Mansion, sweating profusely.
...
June is the hottest time in the Longyan Dynasty.
Liu Zheng and his group were walking and stopping.
It's still early anyway, so I'm not in a hurry.
This time, it was Xie Tianyao's birthday, and the nine military envoys of the Longyan Dynasty had to take this opportunity to return to Beijing to report on their duties. This was a big event for the Longyan Dynasty. This time, Liu Dahao and Liu Zheng naturally could not escape.
