Although it was a bit troublesome, Li Jia had already made up her mind and would definitely be like Liu Bei, who would not succeed him.

He planned to build two ancestral temples, one for the emperor of the former Tang Dynasty, and the other for his own family. Several of his father, including his posthumously conferred titles, were not delayed, and it was also considered to be a fulfillment of filial piety, and the ancestors would not go hungry.

As time goes by, the four years of Shenwu have passed, and the fifth year of Shenwu (964 AD) has arrived. The grand New Year's Day ceremony has been held.

On weekdays, officials with fifth rank or above can basically participate in the court meeting. Whenever there is a rank, they will participate in the court meeting and admire the holy face.

Poor these low-ranking officials can only meet the emperor in the dynasty throughout the year. They can't see the Mao on weekdays, and they are no better than the people.

Power has always been centralized. Such a grand meeting of thousands of people is purely a formal issue and cannot discuss anything. It is nominally given the power of small officials to discuss matters.

It's equivalent to drawing a big pie here.

Although you are young, you are actually like the prime ministers and are also one of the masters of the court. If you work hard, you will be able to participate every day in the future.

The young officials were naturally excited and cherished this opportunity, but the elderly officials complained and had to go to court after the New Year. They stayed up all night and stood for half a day, but those who were in poor health couldn't hold on.

This year's Grand Court Meeting did not show the popularity of the two countries last year, but with the vast territory, the spirit of the officials became more and more high-spirited.

After all, living in Lingnan is indescribable compared to entrenching the south and spying on the north, and everyone is full of joy and spirit.

Li Jia was wearing a crown, a crimson gauze robe, a crown of the sky, and a twelve tassels of white jade beads hanging in front of her. She looked a little blurred, and the imperial seat sat upright in the south and accepted the worship.

Fu Baolang presented the seal and others in front of the emperor, and the Duke, the king and the other guests entered the position in the next place.

The so-called Fubaolang is an official who holds the seal and gold and silver cards.

Dianyi, who presided over the ceremony, had a big waist and a round waist, and no squinted eyes. He had a loud voice: "Bow".

Those who praise are passed down, and everyone bows down.

Then he called some people over and knelt down to the north, saying, "A certain official said: Yuan Zheng was in charge of the throne, the blessings were new, and I hope your Majesty will be together with the heaven."

Then retreat and call someone.

In fact, the routine is similar to that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so I will no longer say one by one.

In fact, the highlight is that during the dynasty meeting, the emperor had to receive the envoys from other countries.

This year, the people who worshipped the Bohai Kingdom, Goryeo Kingdom, Wuyue Kingdom, Dali Kingdom, Zhenla Kingdom, etc., as well as some small countries in the South China Sea, with plateau tribes, all dressed in different clothes and a group of envoys, which was extremely grand.

Even the Great Food Kingdom sent envoys to congratulate him, which shows that with the strength of the navy, it also heard about the reputation of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone knelt down to worship the emperor and sang, and on the surface, they were pleased to surrender.

Only the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, Ping Li, did not worship him, stood proudly in a white robe, which was extremely annoying.

"In our big food, I just worship you. Even Alifa never kneels down. I hope your Majesty will forgive you!"

The censors glared at him and waited to be corrected, but the emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "Today is the official, and I am not difficult for me to be a human being. Whether it is customs or etiquette, since the envoy of the great food and food enters China, he should use Chinese etiquette. Now that he does not obey it, then drive it out to avoid being disgusting!"

"When the time comes, some trouble happens on the seas between our two countries, the envoys will take on more responsibility and bear the consequences at your own risk!"

"Dear Your Majesty, for hundreds of years, the Dashi Dynasty envoys the Tang Dynasty has never bowed to the Tang Dynasty!"

Seeing that Yuan Congjun really came over, he was so panicked that he had a big bearded man in an instant and hurriedly explained.

"That was before, now I am the emperor. Naturally, the rules have changed. Come and send the envoy out!"

Li Jia sneered, scrupulous of the twelve taunts that were wandering in front of her, and did not dare to make any big moves.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Yuan Congjun was naturally obedient and dragged him away as he shouted.

The ministers looked at each other, and the envoys of Wu Yue and other countries were even more frightened, thinking that they were killing chickens to warn the monkeys.

"This barbarian is not following the rules. You dare to mention the Kaiyuan story again. Don't move around, the court will continue!"

Zhao Cheng quickly stood up and explained righteously that with his identity as prime minister, everyone then calmed down and continued the court meeting.

The so-called Kaiyuan story is that in the early years of Kaiyuan, the Dashi Empire sent envoys to the court, introduced horses and treasure belts and other square objects; when they were attending Xuanzong, there was a "controversy over etiquette" worthy of attention:

The envoy of the Great Food visited Xuanzong, but did not worship him. The Xianshi (also known as the Censor) immediately prepared to scold him. The Secretariat Zhang Shuo reported: "The Great Food is different from the customs, and you should not be punished if you admire the righteousness from afar." Xuanzong then promised.

Later, Dashi sent envoys to offer sacrifices to the court, saying that he only worshipped the gods in his country, and even if he saw the king, he had no way to worship him.

After repeated criticism from the censor, the envoy asked to pay homage according to the Han laws.

To put it bluntly, all customs and habits are nonsense, and in the end they are not repent.

Li Jia could see at a glance that this was a test of the great cannibals. Now the Tang Dynasty has taken over Champa again. The Maritime Silk Road is prevalent, and the Han merchants have embezzled the interests of the great cannibals, so this test is taken.

As the emperor and all the foreign envoys, how could he be timid for the sake of his interests? He could only be tough, and he would not believe that he could not defeat him.

After these twists and turns, without mentioning the thoughts of all officials, the dynasty meeting finally went smoothly until noon.

As the protagonist, Li Jia also got up early in the morning and was wearing some heavy objects. She was really tired. She was very hard to be an emperor. She not only had to worry about her waist, but also had to worry about her spirits.

After removing the heavy crown, Li Jia changed into her regular clothes and finally breathed a sigh of relief under the beat of the palace maids.

"Let the prime ministers come to see me!" Li Jia drank a cup of hot tea, felt much more comfortable all over, half lying on the couch, and said softly.

Soon, the prime ministers in dresses came quickly and were about to bow down, but they were stopped by the emperor: "Spend it, I've been paying too much for a day today, sit down and talk!"

"I'm thanking the emperor for your kindness!" As he spoke, the prime ministers sat on their butts, but their thoughts were getting more uncomfortable.

"The big cannibalism is nothing, so don't apologize if you are not accused!"

The emperor smiled and said, his tone was very light, but it fell into the hearts of the prime ministers, and the few people immediately became nervous.

"What's going on in Bozhou?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Yang Shi, Bozhou, sent an envoy to report that he was seriously ill and could not get out of the land, so he only sent envoys and tributes to Changsha!"

Zhao Cheng was shocked and said with a thorn in his mouth.

"You believe these nonsense? Could it be that his eyes were fooled by his generous gift?"

Li Jia smiled angry and scolded: "Since the expropriation of the land of Qianzhong Road in the first year of Shenwu, Bozhou must come to the court every year, but now it is absent. There must be something wrong with it!"

"Don't think that the place in Zhimanliao in Bozhou doesn't care!"
