At that time, all civil and military officials of the court, respected Confucian scholars who were ordered to participate in the court meeting, and envoys of various vassal states in Beijing will all attend the meeting.

In name, it is a court meeting, but in fact it is a national show used by Qianguo to demonstrate the martial arts and martial arts.

At the Dachao meeting, various officials will report all kinds of good things that happened in various places in Daqian, such as where the bumper harvest broke the granary, where the tax revenue soared, and the treasury was almost unable to hold it.

And the envoys of the vassal states watched from the sidelines as monkeys, and it was better to show a hint of envy, a hint of shock, and a hint of fear, and cooperate with Daqian to complete the show.

It's just that in recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and the national strength has been greatly inferior to before. This kind of scene has not happened for many years.

Therefore, neither the court officials nor Emperor Qian had any expectations for this, and only hoped to finish the process quickly and then go home after the meeting.

This year is quite special, because Emperor Qian ordered all the feudal lords to come to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings, so this year's Grand Court will be the most complete gathering of dignitaries in recent years.

Chengyun Hall, the sky is bright.

At this time, everyone has already filed in, found their own positions and stood on both sides of the hall.

Fanbang's envoys sat in a specially designated area on one side of the hall as the observers.

Li Su was the prince, so he was naturally ranked in front of the courtiers, and in front of him were his older brothers.

Prince Li Yan was also among them, ranking first.

When he saw Li Su, Li Yan gave him a vicious look, then quickly turned around.

The eunuch whipped down the golden whip, and as Emperor Qian took his seat, the grand court meeting was considered to have begun.

The first link is where the eunuch read aloud the national fu written by a veteran minister with literary talent, and the content is very literary.

Li Su didn't quite understand. Anyway, the general meaning should be that under the wise leadership of Emperor Qian, he has achieved certain results this year.

Everyone knelt down and said, "My emperor is holy!"

The second link is the announcement of the good news by the ministers.

"The minister has a book to play!" The one who stood up was Zhang Lian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"Zhang Lu, the magistrate of Hezhou, reported that there are 17 centenarians under his rule, which is the most since the founding of Dagan. This is because I, Dagan, have made great contributions to enlightenment in recent years, and God has blessed me with so many long-lived people." Zhang Lian said loudly.

"Good, pass the decree to the prefect of Hezhou for his meritorious service in enlightenment, and give him a goldfish bag." Emperor Qian said lightly.

Zhang Lian was included.

"The minister has his own play!" This time it was Liu Bazhai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who stood up.

"Hou Yong, a master craftsman of our Ministry of Industry, has researched a new method of calcination of iron ore. Last year, the production of Dagan pig iron increased by [-] percent." Liu Bazhai bowed.

"Reward!" Qiandi waved his hand.

Liu Bazhai was included.

"The weather in Jiangnan was good last year, and the tax paid was 20 taels more than last year." This time, Zheng Shen, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said.

Since then, some officials have come out to report one after another.

……

Everyone's performances are nothing more than trivial matters, but it is difficult for the courtiers to think of these things. It is true that there is really no reward for the hard work in recent years.

Fortunately, the part of announcing the good news has passed, at least on the face of it.

"My Burmese envoy brought the Burmese Kingdom letter to pay homage to His Majesty Emperor Dagan of the Shang Kingdom, and wish His Majesty peace."

Just when everyone thought that the grand court meeting was about to end in such a hasty way, they heard a voice from Fan Bangguo's envoy.

"The envoys of our country of Laos and the king paid homage to His Majesty the Emperor Dagan of the Shang Kingdom, and wished His Majesty the Holy Body and health."

Another voice sounded.

"My Pulan Kingdom Prime Minister Li Shangzhang paid homage to His Majesty Emperor Dagan of Shang Kingdom on behalf of Pulan Kingdom, and wished His Majesty long live and long live!"

"My son of the Ba Kingdom pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor Dagan of Shang Kingdom on behalf of the royal family of Ba Kingdom. May His Majesty the Emperor Dagan live forever!"

"My country..."

"My Qiang country..."

Chapter 19

One after another voices sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

"what's the situation?"

At this time, everyone was full of doubts.

Emperor Qian, who lacked interest, also raised his head and looked in the direction of the Fanbang mission with a blank face.

He knew that many foreign missions from the southwest had come to the capital recently.

But neither he nor anyone else believed that it was just because of the road blockage caused by Dilong's turnaround, and Fanbangguo in the southwest sent people to hand over the mission that had been stationed in Beijing for three years.

But the scene in front of them made everyone puzzled.

Pan Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, vaguely guessed something, and looked in Li Su's direction.

"The lord of Pulan Kingdom sent his servants to Dagan to wish His Majesty Emperor Dagan a happy new year. This is my congratulatory form from Pulan Kingdom." Li Shangzhang bowed out.

Just now, Li Shangzhang was the first to go out after being taken a step ahead by Laos and Myanmar.

The imperial eunuch took Li Shangzhang's congratulatory form and handed it to Emperor Qian.

Emperor Qian opened it, and sure enough, the lower right corner was covered with the seal of the king of Pulan Kingdom.

The content of the congratulatory form is to express the blessings of the king of Pulan Kingdom to Emperor Qian, and the lines are full of humility, which makes Emperor Qian stunned.

Subsequently, Myanmar, Laos, Pakistan and other countries also sent letters of credence or congratulatory forms, the content of which was similar to that of Puland.

The attitude towards Dagan is surprisingly uniform and respectful, even flattering.

You must know that Dagan has not been so respectful to him from so many foreign countries for many years. There must be a reason for these countries to do so.

Emperor Qian looked at the stack of letters of credence and congratulatory forms in front of him, and then thought of what happened in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion a few days ago, and he realized something in his heart.

"This matter is most likely related to the sixth child!" Emperor Qian took a deep look at Li Su who was about to fall asleep standing in the hall.

He felt that he couldn't understand his son more and more.

"Your Majesty, my country of Ba is adjacent to the Lingnan Mansion of Shangguo in the southwest. It is separated from Lingnan Mansion by a narrow strip of water and has always been friendly. My father wishes to honor His Majesty the Emperor Dagan as the Emperor!"

The prince of Ba Kingdom came out and said.

"Wow!"

There was an uproar in the hall.

The only time in history that the title of Shangdi appeared was when Wu Gaozu, the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, defeated the Yan Kingdom at that time.

The monarch of the Yan Kingdom called Wu Gaozu the Supreme Emperor to show his submission.

To put it bluntly, there is no essential difference between respecting Emperor Qian as the emperor and accepting Emperor Qian as godfather. They both put themselves in a very low position.

Everyone was puzzled. As a vassal state, it is understandable to be respectful to the suzerain state, but what is the reason for such licking?

"Hmph, when you received the news that Lingnan Mansion was cut off from the mainland, you planned to annex Lingnan.

I didn't expect to be pushed to the capital by His Royal Highness King An's troops, and I have the face to say that I have always been friendly with Lingnan, I'm afraid I'm afraid of being beaten! "

The Qiang envoy spoke sarcastically.

The Ba Kingdom and the Qiang Kingdom have always been at odds. When they were strong and prosperous, they had adjusted the conflict between the two sides.

In recent years, there have been constant frictions between the two countries.

At this time, the envoys of the Qiang Kingdom saw Ba Guo's son acting like this, so they naturally seized the opportunity to dismantle Ba Guo's face in the Daqian court hall and put eye drops on them.

"My Qiang Kingdom has always been friendly with Lingnan. In the past two years, thanks to His Highness King An's mutual trade, the income of our Qiang Kingdom treasury has increased by [-]%.

The subjects of the Qiang Kingdom wish to make peace with Dagan from generation to generation, and never give up swords and swords. "The envoys of the Qiang Kingdom bowed to pay homage.

As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked.

"King An even led troops to attack the capital of Ba Kingdom!"

"The people of Naba have always been tough and fierce, and everyone respects martial arts. The Taizu once praised the prosperity of the country's military power. It is difficult to take down Ba country without the power of the whole country."

Some courtiers whispered.

"I didn't expect that I still underestimated the combat effectiveness of King An's army!"

"Twenty percent, a mutual market can increase Qiang's treasury income by twenty percent. Is King An really the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!"

Some people were also surprised by the mutual market that the Qiang envoy said.

"At the trade fair a while ago, King An sold more than 20 taels. It is not surprising that the treasury of a small Qiang country increased by [-]%."

At this time, the people in the court didn't know that these Fanbanguo were so respectful, and even congratulated Dagan for the first time, all because of King An.

The useless prince who was driven to Lingnan three years ago.

At this time, everyone looked at Li Su with an inexplicable taste in their eyes.

No one could have imagined that such a big change can happen to a person in just three years.

At this time, many people have strengthened their previous guesses.

This image of Li Su's dandy in the capital before must have been played out, he was holding back and teasing everyone for fools.

Prince Li Yan watched the scene in front of him, and hated Li Su even more in his heart.

"Why! It must be fake, it's all fake!" Li Yan roared in his heart.

But all these things in front of his eyes were telling him that the useless brother he had always looked down upon was no longer something he could underestimate.

Dachao will be more successful than expected.

It should be said that the previous Dachaohui still relied on the joint performances of the Dagan monarchs and ministers to shock the neighbors and demonstrate the strength of the Dagan.

So this time the Dachao will be those vassal states in the southwest who took the initiative to raise the status of Dagan.

As for the envoys of the other vassal states in Dagan, seeing the attitude of those vassal states in the southwest, they naturally did not dare to underestimate Qian.

Once the news of the Great Court Conference is sent back to the country, their country's attitude towards Qianguo will definitely have to be carefully weighed.

Emperor Qian went back humming a little song, and immediately went to Concubine Liu's palace after returning.

And everything that happened at the Great Court Meeting was also spread out.

Conquering the whole country and restoring its former glory, of course there is no need to hide this kind of thing, but to publicize it vigorously.

The people of the capital who had just experienced a siege by the Tatars urgently needed an exciting news to encourage the people to restore their confidence in the court.

Under the official's deliberate exaggeration and processing, the people in the capital quickly immersed in the atmosphere that Daqian is not lonely, and a Dagan who is respected by the vassal state will definitely be able to shock those who are small.

And Li Su who brought all this once again made the people in the capital feel so unreal.

At this time, Li Su has become a topic of great interest to the people of the capital.

If Dagan has a hot list, it is estimated that the first few articles must be about Li Su.

At this time, some fast horses were rushing from Lingnan to the capital.

Chapter 20 Du Chen's Experience

Lingnan Prefecture.

It has been almost half a month since Du Chen, a businessman from the West Market, came to Lingnan Mansion.

Recalling the scene he saw when he first arrived in Lingnan Mansion, he still felt like he was in a dream.

Ever since he heard some news from An Wangwei that day, he rushed towards Lingnan without stopping.

As soon as he arrived at the capital city of Lingnan Prefecture, he was startled by the sight of people entering and leaving the city gate.

Yao remembered that when he passed by here five years ago, it was just a dilapidated small county with a population of [-].

I didn't expect that in less than a few years, there would be such an uproar.

The city gate was obviously remodeled, and it was much wider than other city gates.

Pedestrians and carriages carrying goods entered and exited the city gate in two teams.

Look at the carriages that come in and out are full of goods, and the caravans that drive the carts are also full of Fanbang costumes.

When he reached the gate of the city, Du Chen followed the pedestrians who lined up in front of him into the city.
