At noon, many envoys brought their beautiful men, and after an examination, they entered the palace one by one and came to the venue to wait.
That's right, the empress's birthday banquet is noon, not dinner The atmosphere is better at night, so the empress doesn't care about these, isn't it good to run to the roof to see the stars at night Ha can call a few beautiful men to dance at night to help the fun I'm sorry, the emperors of other countries may like this tune, but the empress is really not good at this mouthful, and she doesn't feel good at all Therefore, directly entertain at noon, so that not only is it not so troublesome, but even the time will become shorter, and the empress, who doesn't want to entertain everyone, doesn't have to worry about it for too long.
At noon, with the arrival of the empress, the venue instantly became lively.
There were dozens of tables in the whole venue, each table had eight chairs and chairs, and the quota for each country to enter the palace was also eight.
Obviously, considering that the various countries may not be very familiar with each other, and even have enmity against each other, it is a bit difficult to let them sit together.
It's better to let them have a table as a family, at least there won't be any contradictions.
The empress wore a knee-length red dress and beautiful feet, and came like a rose in her prime, beautiful and incomprehensible Especially after wearing the underwear suit, the empress's posture is more upright, and after the shackles of the trousers, the calves are warm and white and tender, and the sky is beautiful, and the smile is overwhelming Even if the empress didn't laugh, many of his princes all lost their minds for a moment Beautiful, so beautiful After the empress, there are hundreds of civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, since it is the birthday of the empress, the civil and military officials will naturally come to congratulate Lin Zifan, as the lowest official among the officials who need to go to the court, is also among them.
"Yan Guo, I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty a congratulatory gift every year, a pair of superb crystal cups" "Chen Guo, I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty a prosperous and beautiful face, eternal youth, and send a thin gift, a jade phoenix carving in the Western Regions" "Chu State, I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty a happy birthday, always wishful, send congratulatory gifts, and the Buddha's relics can be safe and happy" "Wu Guo" One country after another sent gifts, this is already management, everyone knows the rules better, but there are no jokes.
One gift after another was shouted out, which made Lin Zifan secretly speechless.
Each of these gifts is amazing, and in this day and age, what a pair of superb crystal cups is definitely worth a lot Even in the eyes of ordinary people, the so-called crystal cup looks similar to a glass, but in fact, they are very different As for the Buddha's relics, Lin Zifan doesn't know if it's true or not, but according to the high-martial arts world, it is very likely that a master can smash mountains and rivers Obtaining the relics of the high monks must have many wonderful uses, and the value is overwhelming Gifts, this is an opportunity to please the empress, but also to show the wealth and strength of their country, for the Tang Dynasty, these may be rare treasures, but in a relatively wealthy country, these gifts may not be too much to care about.
At least for the royal families of those countries, they don't have to worry too much The empress's beautiful eyes are circulating, and the interest at this moment is good.
But Lin Zifan could roughly guess the empress's thoughts The empress is indeed very happy, but it is definitely not because of any other reason, but because the Tang Dynasty is poor now, and the palace is also poor In fact, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty has never been full, and the days have been tight, even the empress is the king of a country, and there are only staple foods plus two dishes for three meals a day, which can be said to be extremely frugal.
From this, we can see how poor Datang is And these gifts are incredible, the worst of them are also worth a lot, the best, can be called priceless, and when these envoys leave, the empress asks someone to sell these gifts, that is, the money can be used to fill the treasury, how good Lin Zifan could guess the empress's thoughts, but because of this, it made him feel distressed for a while.
"My empress is really alas, too frugal, so good, that she even has to take out her own gifts and sell them, and then rush into the treasury" Lin Zifan touched his chin and said secretly: "After this, we must solve Datang's economic problems as soon as possible."
During this period of time, Lin Zifan also had a comprehensive understanding of the situation in Datang.
Poor, really poor, and lacking everything There is a lack of money, but there is a lack of food, but there is a lack of salt, and there is a lack of iron Almost can come up with it, there are few things that are not lacking, but it is such a Datang, but almost everyone is strong, coupled with the harsh summer, it can still stand tall under the eyes of strong enemies in various countries, which makes people have to admire And the people of the Tang Dynasty don't have much money, buying and selling anything, Chang'an is okay, everyone is used to using copper coins, but in remote areas, especially in the mountains, everyone barters If this continues, if there is no wanton rectification, it will not be able to get rich for a long time To change the status quo of the Tang Dynasty, and to share the worries of his own empress, Lin Zifan secretly kept this matter in his heart.
What's more, Lin Zifan will dominate the feminist world sooner or later, and if Datang is strong enough, it means that Lin Zifan has a strong background, even for this, he must spare no effort to do it In thought, the envoys of various countries gave gifts, even Wei and Daqin were no exception, and then, it was the turn of the Tang Dynasty civil and military officials to give gifts But here's the problem, compared with the envoys of various countries, the civil and military officials are so poor that they can't get any decent gifts at all, so they can only prepare some things that the empress may like as much as possible.
Although the empress was very happy to see these things, the ridicule and contempt in the eyes of the envoys and princes of various countries were overflowing, which made many ministers grit their teeth and feel depressed, but there was no way to refute them.
No way, compared to the gifts prepared by various countries, it is too shabby Even if the empress doesn't care, it makes the civil and military officials feel disgraced and sorry for the empress.
Seeing that Lin Zifan was the only one left who had not given a gift, although many ministers did not like to see Lin Zifan, but at this moment, they could only silently expect Lin Zifan to make a splash and come up with amazing gifts.
However, Lin Zifan shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, the minister's gift cannot be taken out for the time being, please forgive Your Majesty." ” "It doesn't matter."
The empress's expression did not change, but her eyes dimmed slightly for a moment, very fast, but she couldn't escape the eyes of Lin Zifan, who had been paying attention to the empress.
"No, I have to endure it, I have to endure it" Although Lin Zifan was distressed, he silently warned himself to endure it "Alas," the ministers sighed in their hearts.
But at that moment, the sound of breaking the air started, and a shadow came quickly and entered the venue.
Her hair was stained with blood, her armor was torn, but her spirit was extremely full.
"Minister, Huo Yuanyuan, I wish Your Majesty a happy birthday, I hereby present it" Dragon Pearl:
