Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Seeing Li Tai and Li Zhi, Li Shen was puzzled, but he still stood up like everyone else.

Li Tai and Li Zhi were supported by others and came to Li Shen's side.

"I have met the fourth and ninth brothers."

"Hmph." Li Zhi snorted.

"Haha, there's no need to be so polite, Tenth Brother." Li Tai replied with a smile.

What Li Shen didn't expect was that both of them asked their servants to bring a cushion and put it on the chair.

Then the two of them sat down.

"Brother Jiu, you are so injured, yet you still come to eat this meal. I'm sure this meal must be very sumptuous."

Li Shen looked like he was asking for a beating. And he was particularly annoying.

Even Li Tai's mouth twitched. This guy is really not a good person.

Others don't provoke you, but you still provoke others and look like you deserve a beating.

Sure enough, Li Zhi was so angry at Li Shen's appearance that his face turned ugly.

"Li Shen, don't go too far." Li Zhi warned in a low voice that he was injured because of Li Shen.

This guy actually dared to mock him deliberately.

"Hey, what are you talking about, Brother Nine? I was just concerned about you, but you are still angry.

We are brothers, we are brothers, how could you treat me like this, it really makes me feel cold. "

Li Shen did not lower his voice, nor was he afraid of being heard by others. Acting pitiful was his strong point.

He has seen many green tea watches and has grasped the essence of them.

"You..." Li Zhi was so angry that he was speechless. He looked around and was about to say something when he was stopped by Li Tai.

"Okay, Old Ten, there are so many people here, stop messing around, or the emperor will come and punish you again."

Li Tai mediated.

"What Fourth Brother said makes sense, but I really care about you out of kindness, I don't have any other intentions."

Li Shen didn't say anything more as Li Tai ruined the atmosphere.

"Hmph." Li Zhi also snorted.

"Tenth Brother, I heard that my eldest brother went to your house a few days ago and stayed there, right?"

Li Tai suddenly asked.

"Yeah, what happened? Big brother drank too much that day, and he didn't return to the East Palace until it was late." Li Shen replied nonchalantly.

"Nothing, it seems that you have a better relationship with big brother than us." Li Tai pretended to shake his head and sighed.

"Look at what Fourth Brother said, aren't we all brothers?"

"Old Ten, you invited Big Brother to dinner but didn't invite us two. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Li Tai said with some adjustment.

Li Shen was disdainful in his heart, but his expression did not change:

"Fourth Brother, you and Ninth Brother are injured, the doctor said you can't drink, otherwise he will definitely come after you two that day.

Next time, when you have recovered from your injuries, I will treat you all to a few drinks at my house. How about that?"

Li Shen extended a sincere invitation.

"Haha, okay, Old Ten, your words are enough."

Li Tai laughed.

"Your Majesty has arrived~~~~~"

At this time, there was a long chant, and everyone in the hall stood up.

Li Shimin, dressed in a golden dragon robe, walked out with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, followed by Li Chengqian, who was dressed in a light yellow crown of the crown prince.

Since Li Shen's tables and chairs have become popular, banquets are no longer like before where each person has a seat.

There have been some changes. For example, the crown prince and the emperor have one, and princes like Li Shen have one.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian came to their seats and sat down.

"kneel!"

"May your Majesty be safe!"

Everyone knelt together, whether they were ministers or envoys from various countries, they all needed to kneel down and kowtow.

This is Yuanzheng's way of wishing a happy new year, and it is also one of the reasons why Li Shen did not want to attend the banquet.

The first item of the meeting is kowtow.

"My dear ministers and envoys, please don't be polite." Li Shimin waved his hand.

At this time, Changsun Wuji came out as the Zuo Pushe, took off his shoes, knelt on the ground, took the sword and handed it to Jie Jianxi, and kowtowed respectfully.

Read aloud:

"The first year of Yuanzheng is here, and the new year is here. I wish your Majesty the Emperor Zhenguan Shenwu and the Khan will rest in peace with the heaven."

Goodbye!

"May His Majesty the Khan rest in peace." Everyone followed suit and bowed.

After Changsun Wuji put on his shoes, he took them off again, knelt down, drew his sword, and repeated the process again.

Everyone followed suit and bowed again. This time, the ministers expressed their respect to His Majesty the Emperor on behalf of millions of people across the world.

Li Shimin stood up and saluted in return. Yu Zhining, the attendant, came out and said loudly to everyone:

"I share the same joy of taking up the new post as you do."

What this means is that everyone just congratulated the emperor, and the emperor also congratulated everyone.

Afterwards, everyone bowed again, shouted "Long live" three times, and bowed again.

However, Li Shimin's face, which should have been radiant, twitched involuntarily every time he shouted.

Because he could clearly hear a voice that was so loud that it was almost broken, and it was out of tune with the crowd.

With a glance, he determined who it was.

It was his eldest son, Prince Ji Li Shen.

Every time before kowtowing, this naughty kid would stretch out his hands, raise them high, and then bow down very devoutly.

It is completely different from the kneeling etiquette of other people, and seems like a folk cult.

However, with all the ministers present and envoys from various countries watching, Li Shimin couldn't get angry.

Fortunately, after three bows, there is no need to shout anymore.

Li Chengqian also discovered that Li Shen was an anomaly. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to. It was not the right occasion and he felt very uncomfortable holding it back.

The people around Li Shen subconsciously moved to the side, fearing that they would be dragged down by this thing.

Especially Li Tai and Li Zhi, they did not hide their disgust at all.

Both of them were wondering what this thing was. Could anyone tell them what it was?

The ceremony continues, and after one item is completed, the next item begins.

As for gifts, provincial governors, governors-general and governors-general in various places would prepare gifts for Your Majesty before New Year's Day and send them to the Kyoto office.

Waiting for today's gift giving session.

Envoys from vassal states would also present local specialties as tribute on this day.

The gifts are varied, but basically they are hard currency, rare treasures, and various auspicious things.

Li Shen even saw a little suckling pig shining with golden light, which was said to be an auspicious Qilin, and the golden light on its body was a layer of gold foil.

Various gifts were placed in front of Li Shimin, who looked at them with a smile on his face.

After the local event was over, the vassal states presented gifts, which included everything: pearls, jadeite, exquisite gems, jade articles, as well as elephants, birds and beasts, and so on.

Animals and wild beasts like elephants are included in the gift list.

Many ministers saw these things for the first time and looked curious.

Only Li Shen looked calm. Coming from the future, he had seen everything in the world, so there was nothing missing in the video.

He even whispered to Li Xiaogong next to him and commented on the gifts.

"Uncle, look at the gift from Nanzhao. It's too shabby. I have a lot of this stuff in my treasury."

"Uncle Wang, that gem looks beautiful but is actually ordinary. I use it for decoration and as a pendant in my house."

"Uncle Wang, look at the pearls that Baekje presented. They are too small. I have a big box of large pearls from the South China Sea in my house. They are twice as big as these."

(In class: Hello, students.

This is really a lesson. I looked up some information and found that people in the Tang Dynasty knelt down to pay New Year's greetings, but I couldn't find out how to kneel specifically.

This is also true for ordinary people.

In the Tang Dynasty, people would say "Long live the other person" when meeting each other during the New Year, which meant wishing the other person good health and a long life.

The "Long live" in the text and the "Long live" said later when paying homage to the emperor are two different concepts.

At that time, people also said "Long live the emperor".
