Liu Mu laughed a few times, and then pulled the horse's head to his three sisters: "You three girls, don't you dare to let people know what you see, this is ......"

Before Liu Mu finished speaking, he asked Dugu Lanruo to stop: "I have already told them, there is no need for you to talk about it again." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"That'll do."

Chang'an City.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Mu arranged for ten huge lantern carts pushed by horse-drawn people to parade in the evening, which was the festival he prepared for the Shangyuan Festival in the new year.

When the Tang Emperor Li Yuan arrived in Jingyang, Liu Mu arrived with a guest.

"You say, this will ask for a saint, is it appropriate?" Liu Mu came to Peng Hai's side and asked in a low voice.

Peng Hai asked a little eunuch and replied to Liu Mu: "You are really troublesome, at this time, you should hand over the guests to the Ministry of Rites, instead of directly facing the saint." ”

"Face the Holy Picture what? Isn't it just to be happy, why don't you hand it over to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites doesn't even know where their island is. Willow replied beside him.

The surname of the person with the willow wood belt is Gao, the star lord of the Tamna country, this star lord was first canonized by Silla, and then the Tamna country became a subject country of Baekje, and Brother Park persuaded this star lord to come to the Tang Dynasty Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, with a small Tamna country, the Tang Dynasty is really a dragon for them.

And the small country of Tamna can barely be regarded as a small fish.

Peng Hai shook his head helplessly: "You really want to make trouble for the miscellaneous family, so let's go and tell the saint." ”

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is playing cards, playing the willow wood version of Texas Hold'em, and the people who are eligible to play at the table are all the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty without exception, as well as the prince and the king of Qin.

Peng Hai walked inside and stood beside Li Yuan, and after waiting for a full quarter of an hour, Li Yuan asked after a fold, "Is there something?" ”

"It's a willow horse, and he brought a man to give a gift to the saint."

"Gifts? He ......" Li Yuan smiled, in front of so many people, he didn't say anything unpleasant, in Li Yuan's mind, at this time, the gift is definitely not a pure gift, there must be some special circumstances.

Pei Lin said at this time: "Liu Juma is hearty, and often finds some interesting things to offer to the saints, but it is not good to do this often, and it is easy for people to say that he is not doing his job." ”

Pei Lin chose the most suitable time to dig a small pit for Liu Mu.

Li Yuan laughed: "Okay, tell him to bring someone in." ”

Willow was allowed in, first someone holding up a map, then four carrying a huge chest. The person who came in with Liu Mu fell to the ground and spoke for half an hour in one breath, and no one present could understand except Jingzhao Yin Pei Shiqing.

"Where is this?" Li Yuan asked with a frown.

"Sage, he speaks in the old Silla language, which is different from the current Silla language. And many of the words are interspersed with some of the ways in which the Baekje language is used. Although the three countries of the peninsula speak similarly, just like our Tang Dynasty, there are many language barriers between the north and the south. Pei Shiqing explained two sentences simply.

At Li Yuan's request, Pei Shiqing translated the words of the Ganggao Star Lord with his understanding.

It's nothing more than that I was very excited to see the Tang Emperor, and the small country came to congratulate the Tang New Year, and brought gifts, asking the Tang Dynasty to give the calendar and so on.

This giving calendar is an expression of the initiative to ask for a subject state.

"Tamna?" Li Yuan got up and came to the map, and when he looked at the location of the map, he couldn't help but shake his head. It's just an inconspicuous island, and the whole island is not as big as Chang'an.

Li Yuan turned his head to look at Liu Mu again, and said in his heart, "You Liu Mu has a lot of thoughts about wanting this island to become a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, is it interesting?"

Liu Mu stood aside with his head down, and at this time he would not explain half a sentence.

It was Li Shimin who said: "Father, all countries are coming to congratulate me on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Reward, the Ministry of Etiquette will receive you according to the courtesy, so that the guests can experience my Datang hospitality, my Datang goodwill." Li Yuan decided on this matter, just a small island country, Li Yuan didn't pay attention to it. But Li Shimin and Liu Mu want to give face.

At this time, the High Star Lord revealed his gift.

A red coral that is nearly three feet tall, this one is also the treasure of his town and country, and it can be said that it is difficult to find such a large red coral.

This red coral stunned everyone.

The base is a rough stone, about a foot high is the original submarine reef of the coral, the net size of the coral is close to two feet, such a giant red coral has not been seen even in the former Sui Imperial Palace.

There is not the slightest trace of manual grinding, treatment and bonding.

Yanagi knew that the world record for later generations was 38 centimeters tall, which had surpassed the world record of later generations, and was absolutely priceless.

After Li Yuan looked at it carefully, he turned to Pei Shiqing and said, "You let him get up first, and ask him, what does he want for such a precious item to give to me?" ”

After Pei Shiqing asked, he replied: "Sage, he said that he was sincerely offering, this is just an item, and the willow wood of the Tang Dynasty promised him that the income of each of his people would increase fivefold in just three years, and tenfold in five years." He was grateful to the Tang Dynasty for giving him the wealth of the people of Tamluo. ”

"Tamna is poor, and no one appreciates such a thing in Tamna, it's just a novelty. The love of Datang is more precious, and the wealth of the people is what they desire. ”

Pei Shiqing conveyed the words of the High Star Lord to Li Yuan very seriously.

Li Yuan nodded: "Yes, Duke Tanluo." ”

Pei Shiqing gave a lot of lectures to Lord Gao Xing, explaining the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and the meaning of this Tamluo Gong, Lord Gao Xing once again knelt on the ground to thank the Tang Emperor for his canonization.

Peng Hai left with the high star lord and found the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for the reception.

Li Yuan asked Liu Mu with a dark face: "You are really bold, don't you fancy this amazing treasure of this small country?" ”

"Father, I am a good person. I only told them to prepare a gift, which was probably picked by Brother Park of Silla. The per capita income of the people on their small broken island is exchanged for our Datang, that is, less than ten cents a year, not to mention ten times, a hundred times is not much. Father, would you like to try a new snack? ”

"No, I'm angry. Pei Lian, you write it down. I reward ......" When Li Yuan was about to say that he would reward Tamluo heavily, Liu Mu boldly interjected: "Father, please listen to your son's words again." ”

Li Yuan stopped, his eyes were very unkind, because it was too much to deceive such a treasure as an ignorant small country in Li Yuan's heart.

"Father, I have purchased some things from Tamna, and there are three things that Father will definitely give a reasonable price."

"Take a look." Li Yuan sat back and motioned to continue dealing cards. But Li Shimin held down the card: "Father, although Xiao Mu is a little impulsive, he always has to give a chance to explain." ”
