Chapter 666

What did Lu Duan think in his heart? Lisdi didn't know. He talked about the history of his westward migration. Lu Duan listened silently. He didn't want to listen, but for a moment he didn't know how to interrupt. It wasn't until the attendants around him reminded him that he could recover from the endless "story". Looking at LV Duan, Li Sidi said with a smile, "I'm sorry to delay you so much time. Please come with me."

Lu Duan politely replied, and followed lisdi to a side hall of the imperial palace.

When he entered the side hall, lisdi invited LV Duan to sit down. After sitting down, he began to look at everything in the side hall. He saw that the interior of the palace was full of "carved beams and painted buildings". All kinds of large-scale dome murals were painted all over the main hall, and all kinds of reliefs and decorations were decorated with gold juice and gold ornaments. Lu Duan was so luxurious that he was surprised by the wealth of the Tang people. What's more, he is not only rich, but rich everywhere. No matter in cities or in villages, every family is very rich, and the number of livestock raised in the barn is so large that Lu Duan is very moved.

Before long, some attendants brought tea and delicately made snacks. Instead of touching the cakes, Lu Duan took a sip of hot tea from a delicate cup.

Before long, Li Sidi came back to the side hall again and said to him, "Your Highness, please see me." After hearing this, Lu Duan put down his tea cup and got up to tidy up his clothes. What he was visiting abroad was the face of a country, but he did not dare to let his clothes look out of order, which made the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty despise him. In other words, personal honor and disgrace are small, while national humiliation is big. When he's finished, he signals to Listy, "please lead the way!" The latter saw him tidy his clothes with satisfaction and praise in his eyes. "No wonder in the historical records of our country, China is a land of etiquette. Today we can see it."

After hearing this, Lu Duan was proud in his eyes. He was wearing a robe and a hat on his head. Three strands of gray whiskers fell from his chin. Although he had reached the age of knowing his destiny, and his posture and appearance were slightly old, he still had an extraordinary appearance against the backdrop of his robe.

After that, under the leadership of lisdi, LV Duan went to the peony palace. It was not only the main hall for the emperors and ministers of Tang Dynasty to discuss state affairs and issue decrees, but also the place for entertaining foreign guests. When he arrived at the peony palace, Lu Duan realized why it was called peony. It was because of the peony that it got its name. The relief decoration of the palace is full of peonies, and even peonies are planted around the palace. Lu Duan didn't know why the king of flowers, who was born in China, was thousands of miles away, but seeing the familiar flowers was enough to ease his homesickness.

Under the guidance of Li Sidi, Lu Duan walked into the peony palace. When he entered the palace gate, he saw the Tang officials standing on both sides. The style of their robes is slightly the same as that of the Central Plains, but different in some details. Lu Duan also found that there were not only Han faces, but also some foreign faces among the standing officials.

On the golden throne at the top, a young man was sitting. Looking at him, Lu Duan could only vaguely see that he was very young, but he could not see what he looked like. In addition, what shocked LV Duan most was his golden eyes. Lu Duan had never seen such an imperial vision in his life.

He pressed down his curiosity, stepped forward, bowed and worshipped, "the great song dynasty pays a visit to Lu Duan, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, to see his majesty!"

The young king, holding his hand slightly, said with a smile, "when I was young, I saw the records of my Tang people's hometown in my father's mouth and grandfather's letters. Today, far away from sea and land, I am very happy to see my relatives in my hometown again. Here, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on the reunification of China. I also hope that your two countries are as close as brothers. We must not have any quarrels with each other. "

Lu Duan's body was lifted by an invisible soft force, which shocked him. After hearing the words of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Duan replied, "it's a great blessing that the monarchs and ministers of the great Song Dynasty can be in a country of their own besides thousands of miles. The people of Anxi in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were able to establish their country freely again hundreds of years later. When Song Dynasty first knew this, he was very happy. As the king said, my foreign minister wishes that your two countries will be as close as the Qin and Jin countries in the past. "

"Oh? How good is Qin Jin? " The young Lord laughed, "listen to your words, is song willing to marry a princess here and marry with our country?"

In fact, Lu Duan is just an example. He never thought that the monarch of the Tang Dynasty knew that Qin Jin was good in Chinese history. Now that the words have been spoken, it seems that they want to get married with the Song Dynasty. In this way, the Song Dynasty is bound to marry a daughter here. It was something he had not told before he came, and he just said it casually. How can you choose a husband for the officials? Therefore, Lu Duan could only shirk responsibility. "Your Majesty is joking. The marriage between the two countries is very important, and foreign ministers can't make decisions. If your majesty wants to, he should send someone to my song dynasty in accordance with Chinese customs. "

"Ha ha, let's talk about it later!"

After hearing this, LV Duan felt relieved. Then he took the letters and the gift list from his sleeve. His own attendants took them and handed them to the king. LV Duan said, "I hope your majesty knows that this is the letter and the gift written by the emperor of Song Dynasty." The young king took over the letters of state and the rites, and read them.

Most of the words in the national documents are just words about diplomatic relations, mutual assistance and friendship between the two countries. There are so many things written on the national ceremony, such as all kinds of silk, cloth, gold, silver, jewelry, books, literature and some rare and special products, that even the young kings who are used to seeing wealth are not surprised.

He said with a smile, "how can the state of song not return such a rich gift?" He thought about it, and then said, "well, I'll give you ten thousand good horses, honey, spices and jewelry. When you return home, you can bring them back together. By the way, I'll take you to your majesty."

"Thank you Lu Duan was very excited to get 10000 war horses in vain. What's more, he saw these war horses with his own eyes. They were all high headed horses, not inferior to those of Khitans. It's just that the dead things are OK. How to get these ten thousand horses is difficult for him. When the king on the throne saw this, he asked with concern, "but is it difficult?"

Lu Duan hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty's bounty of gifts has greatly moved the foreign ministers." Hesitated to say: "only those dead things are still to be solved, but a large number of war horses are really difficult to solve, let alone send them safely to China?"

After hearing this, the young king laughed and said, "it's very easy to handle. When your envoy returns, I'll drive you in the ark. The ten thousand horses will ensure your safe transportation home. "

"Thank you After hearing this, LV Duan was very happy. Although he didn't know what the ark was, the king's assurance reassured him. When you come to the Red Sea, there is a piece of land between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. When he was puzzled, he felt dizzy. When everything improved, he found that the huge fleet had crossed the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. Such a strange thing shocked Lu Duan at that time.

In this way, there must be a way for him to guarantee the promise of the young and shameful king on the throne. After thanking him, Lu Duan said, "Your Majesty, can you allow me to stay in your country for a longer time?"

"Of course you can!" The young king agreed, and LV Duan said thanks. He wanted to spend more time in the state of Tang. Of course, he wanted to travel all over the territory of Tang and investigate everything here. It was recorded in his travel to Tang. When he returned home, he could make song tingjun and his officials as a reference. On the one hand, it was also a business trip. Can't wait for the time when the monarch and Minister ask, one ask three don't know, or with ghost pull to deal with? Lu Duan could not do this. Therefore, he begged to stay for some time and make more investigation and records. On the one hand, he wanted to make sure that his hard work would not be meaningless. On the other hand, he wanted to hand over his duties to the king.

After getting the exact answer from the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, LV Duan was very grateful. Then, a luxurious banquet began, and the Tang officials entertained the ministers of the Song Dynasty. At the banquet, the king, who was very young in LV Duan's eyes, asked him about some things about China, and LV Duan answered them one by one.

In the days after that, Lu Duan asked the officials of the Tang Dynasty what the ark was? When he got the answer, he was stunned and said, "is there such a wonderful talent in the world to build such a big ship? After that, Lu Duan went to see it on the spot, and went into the ark in person. He found that it was like a cave. There was something else in it, let alone 10000 horses. Even if there were many horses, they could be put down. After that, Lu Duan sold all the goods he brought with him at a high price except for the gifts given by the state of Tang. Then he bought the horses and sent them into the ark, and bought all kinds of food to feed the horses, so as to ensure that the horses would not lose weight too seriously in the long-distance shipping. After that, Lu Duan began to travel all over the territory of the Tang Dynasty. His "a brief tour of the Tang Dynasty" has not written down a far-reaching epic record!

In the garden of the palace, there is a beautiful garden with green trees, streams and hills. Two men and a woman sit on a soft stool and watch the beautiful scenery nearby. One of the men, dressed in a black robe, had a peculiar pendant on his chest and a gorgeous palace lantern on the table beside him. And the other two men and women, who looked younger, looked at the palace lantern on the table all the time. The emerald color, which was flashing like breathing, made them excited every time.

At this time, another younger monarch in King's clothes came to him in a hurry, stood beside the three, and said to the man in black who sat on the soft stool and looked at the scenery not far away: "grandfather, your grandson has done what you told him. He gave ten thousand horses to the envoys of the song state and sent him back to China in an ark. When the song emissary saw the ark, he sold all the silk, porcelain and other things with him at a high price and used them to buy war horses and grass. After accounting, he bought no less than 60000 war horses and countless grass! "

"I see."

"Father, why should we give preferential treatment to those so-called relatives who have no blood relationship with us for a long time?" The young man who looked at the palace lantern carefully looked at the black robed young man with his golden eyes. The latter said: "ajert, you don't understand that this can keep the emotion in my heart, which is called" human nature "

"Father, what's the matter with you?" One side dressed in luxury woman smell speech, a pair of silver eyes, nervous looking at him.

"It's OK. I've just experienced a lot of things, and I'm used to seeing a lot of things. I'm afraid that in the long run, it's not human. When my humanity is still there, keep my humanity, and not become heartless. " As the essence of his body and soul began to change, he felt more and more that his human nature was gradually weakening, and more and more was the thing called "divinity". At present, in addition to maintaining his own humanity and his family, more and more people are like dead things and ants in his eyes. He doesn't want to become a God, but a God with flesh and blood and feelings. For a small matter, he can easily get angry and laugh off. But we can't take it lightly. His original intention, when he set foot on this road, is still clearly remembered. In order to enjoy the pursuit of eternal, the pursuit of eternal endless enjoyment.

I don't want to end up being a man or a God who doesn't care about everything. For this reason, when he was interested in women, he became like many dandies, looking for coquettish and hot women to revel. When he is interested in being a king of a country, he builds his own country and enjoys the special pleasure of building a country and growing and prospering a little bit. His everything is carried out with his own interest, which is his motive force and pursuit.
