All civil and military officials in the dynasty felt proud and proud.
The entire etiquette department stayed up all night preparing for today's ceremony.
According to the procedure, Li Er first went to the morning court, and then the Japanese prince Su Wayazi paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty. Then there was a music and dance ceremony, where civil and military officials and Japanese envoys caroused together.
The ceremony is ready.
Even Li Erxia's edict to Japan was written. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er naturally wanted to praise Japan and reward Su Wo Yazi.
Early in the morning, all civil and military officials rushed to Tai Chi Hall.
Du He also came.
Li Er personally asked him to come to this grand ceremony. Everyone welcomed Du He to the front. After all, Du He was the one who made the most contribution to Japan's attack and the preservation of the Tang Dynasty's face.
Not long after, Li Er arrived, discussed with the ministers the rewards for Japan, and then asked the Ministry of Rites to preside over the tribute ceremony.
Outside the Tai Chi Hall, the long stairs are covered with a red carpet rimmed with gold.
Zhao Yang raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Xuan Dongying's envoys pay tribute!"
Boom, boom, boom.
Dang Dang Dang.
The bells and drums rang, and the musicians began to perform music vigorously.
The ministers of civil and military affairs lined up on both sides. Su Wo Yazi and others were dressed up and walked along the red carpet towards the Tai Chi Hall. Behind him were a total of twelve people, each holding a large box in their hands.
…
Su Wo Yazi and others walked to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live the Tang Dynasty!" Although Su Wayazi was unwilling to accept it, at this moment he was honest and respectful.
Zhao Yang announced: "Prince Su Wo Yazi of Japan traveled thousands of miles, traveled over mountains and rivers, and rushed to Chang'an..."
I chanted a stick of incense before I stopped.
Du He almost fell asleep after hearing this.
Later, Li Er announced: "Su Wo Yazi, please present the treasure you brought. I am very interested in Japan's treasures!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Suwo Yazi stood aside.
The envoy Matsushita Xia Cui was the first.
He came forward holding the box.
Su Wo Yazi pointed at the box and explained: "Your Majesty, this object is called Wanhua Glazed Jade. It is a famous treasure in Japan. It is the size of a fist and is completely transparent. However, there are two blooming flowers in it, as if they are alive.
It’s a priceless treasure!”
Everyone was very curious and interested after hearing this.
Some people even praised the Japanese people for their willingness!
Du He curled his lips: "What bullshit glazed jade? Isn't this just a piece of broken amber?"
After hearing this, Li Er was in a good mood and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Prince Su Yazi, if you are interested, open it quickly and let me have a look!"
Su Woyazi agreed, stepped forward, opened the box, and said, "Your Majesty, everyone, please see, this is the Ten Thousand Flowers Glazed Jade!"
He looked proud.
It seems to be saying, look, you are just a bunch of bumpkins and ignorant people.
Suga Yazi enjoys the attention of everyone.
Huh?
No, why don't everyone look at Liuli Jade, but at themselves?
Suwa Yazi was surprised to find that everyone was staring at him in surprise, but not at the contents of the box.
He lowered his head.
Suddenly stunned.
Su Wo Yazi was completely dumbfounded.
There was nothing in the box.
The box is complete, and the fine silk inside is also intact, but the Wanhua Glazed Jade is missing.
Suga Yazi's expression changed and he asked: "Panasonic, what's going on?"
Matsushita Xia Cui looked like he had seen a ghost: "I, I, I, I don't know, prince, this box has always been locked, and the key is also on you, why is it missing?"
Su Wo's teeth turned green with anger.
The mole must be the mole!
These twelve boxes are the most important items on his mission to the Tang Dynasty. They are as important as the Japanese treasure ships, so each box has the best lock. Only he has the key. And after entering Chang'an,
They have been sending people to keep a close watch on it. How could it be lost?
Li Er frowned: "Okay, Su Wo Yazi, stop standing and offer the next one! Now is not the time for you to pursue the case!"
"yes!"
Matsushita Xia Cong retreated in embarrassment.
Another envoy came forward with a box.
Su Wo Yazi calmed down his emotions and said: "Your Majesty, this thing is called Wannian Ice Crystal, and it was obtained from the Snow Mountains of Japan..."
Su Wo Yazi was about to give a eloquent introduction to relieve the embarrassment just now, but Du He interrupted him impatiently: "Su Wo Yazi, you'd better just open the box and let everyone see it, so as not to brag about it.
"Fan, if you open the box but it's empty, isn't it a waste of everyone's mood..."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone was amused by Du He's words and burst into laughter.
Su Woyazi turned around and glanced at Du He viciously before opening the box reluctantly.
The box is opened.
Su Wo was stunned.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Li Er was also stunned.
The box was still empty.
Su Wo Yazi felt as if ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping past.
The ministers all stared at Su Wo Yazi.
"How is this going?"
"I have been an official for many years and have seen a lot. I have seen many attacks by foreign envoys, but this is the first time I have encountered such a situation!"
"Japanese people are too outrageous, they are simply arrogant!"
"This is humiliating me, Datang!"
Everyone was talking a lot.
Su Woyazi wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.
In a fit of anger, he asked the remaining ten people to step forward and open all nine boxes in one breath.
The nine boxes were empty, like laughing monsters with big mouths.
In the main hall, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Finally, Su Woyazi walked step by step towards the last box. This was the largest box, and inside was the most precious Japanese treasure - the Night Pearl.
Wow.
The box is opened.
empty!
Known as a priceless treasure, the world's largest luminous pearl has disappeared!
Su Wo's teeth felt like they were struck by lightning. He stood there stupidly, his chest felt extremely heavy. He opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
boom.
Li Eryi slapped the table, stood up, and said angrily: "How dare you tease me, you Su Wo Yazi, come here, drag him out and expel him from Chang'an. He will never be allowed to enter the Tang Dynasty. Japan is arrogant. From now on,
Expel all the Japanese in Chang'an!"
After saying that, Li Er rolled his sleeves and left.
The civil and military ministers looked at each other.
The Imperial Army rushed in like wolves and tigers, and drove Suwa Yazi and others out of the Tai Chi Hall.
A good tribute ceremony was ruined like this.
Wei Zheng asked curiously: "Although Su Wo Yazi is arrogant, paying tribute today is a big deal. He won't get a bunch of empty boxes to fool him. I don't know whether the night pearl is real or fake, but other things are not worth much."
It’s impossible that even Japan can’t get the money!”
Du He said: "What's so strange about this? Shameless Japanese people can't do anything!"
Wei Zheng and others: "..."
Du He waved his hand, said goodbye to everyone and left.
As for what happened next, he didn't bother to care about it and just let Su Wa get a headache.
