Chapter 1999 The Feast Begins, Congratulations From All Nations!

On the opposite side, Gao Shang, who was accompanying An Yaluoshan, suddenly felt a sharp, sword-like gaze falling on him. He subconsciously raised his head. When he saw Wang Chong among the envoys from various countries, Gao Shang suddenly felt a chill in his heart, his whole body trembled violently, and he almost subconsciously lowered his head to avoid Wang Chong's gaze.

Wang Chong was by no means an easy person to deal with. He had known this for a long time when he read Wang Chong's files.

This was also the reason why he deliberately avoided Wang Chong and used a substitute when he entered the capital.

It's just a feast for all nations, and the stakes are so high that no matter how noble you are, you still have to show your true identity.

"snort!"

Wang Chong just sneered, memorizing the face in his mind, and quickly landed on An Yaluoshan in the middle. Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong immediately used his real-world abilities with a thought.

The next moment, a familiar feeling appeared again. In Wang Chong's eyes, An Yaluoshan was wrapped in a mysterious energy, covering everything in his body.

This is the fluctuation of the magic weapon!

"I want to see what you want to do!"

Wang Chong sneered in his heart and quickly looked away.

The Feast of All Nations is just a celebration. If An Yaluoshan is just here to participate in the ceremony, there is no need to be so secretive. In this situation, there is definitely no three hundred taels of silver here.

However, Wang Chong is not in a hurry. He is here today to deal with him.

"Haha, father-in-law is busy!"

On the other side, An Yaluoshan cupped his hands with a smile on his face. As he spoke, he subconsciously avoided Wang Chong's gaze. Under the guidance of the old eunuch in front, he quickly moved towards the left side of the Calyx Xianghui Building. He walked to the side opposite to Wang Chong.

"You guys should step back too!"

Wang Chong withdrew his gaze from a distance and just waved his hand. The next moment, the envoys from various countries in front of him retreated.

As for what Wu Nu Shi Bi and Nang Ri Songtian wanted to argue, Wang Chong just glanced at them and swallowed all their words. They had to bow and quickly resigned and returned to their seats.

"clang!"

That's just a moment,

A loud bell suddenly rang.

The third and final bell of the Banquet of All Nations rang.

"Close the door!"

"Close the door!"

"Close the door!"

…

And almost at the same time, bursts of eunuchs' shrill voices were soon heard, coming from the palace to the palace gate.

"Boom!"

There was a shocking loud noise, and two huge palace doors slammed shut. At this point, all the guests of the banquet of all nations have entered. From now on, the banquet is officially underway, and you can only go out but not enter.

"The Holy Emperor has arrived!"

As the palace door closed, within a few breaths, a clear chime sounded, and countless palace maids and guards filed in from both sides of the Calyx Xianghui Tower.

Each palace maid held a flower basket in her hand, which was filled with fresh petals just collected from the imperial garden. When everyone entered with the melodious sound of chimes, the petals were thrown into the air, reflecting the calyx in the building. It is as beautiful as a long scroll.

Immediately after the palace maids, there were two rows of majestic Jinwu guards, wearing golden armor and resembling the gods of the emperor. Amidst the sound of clanging armor, these Jinwu guards held long halberds and swords hanging on their waists. They stood tall and tall, marching neatly towards both sides of the U-shaped hall.

"Empress and concubines are here!"

Suddenly, there was another high-pitched sound. Just behind these Jinwu guards, the breeze drifted by, and bursts of pleasant fragrance surged from both sides of the hall.

But for a moment, everyone felt their eyes blurred. In an instant, a well-dressed harem empress and concubine, dressed in palace attire, like gods, walked in from both sides and took their seats on both sides.

The entire Huaxianhui Tower is divided into two parts. One is the U-shaped main hall where officials and Hu Bang can sit, and the other is the upper part of the U-shaped main hall where the empress and concubines sit.

Wang Chong was slightly surprised. It was his first time to attend the banquet at Huaxianhui Tower, and it was his first time to know that the empresses and concubines of the harem would also attend this celebration.

"Look!"

While thinking about it, suddenly, a slight touch came from the side. Xu Qiqin suddenly touched Wang Chong's arm and looked in one direction.

Wang Chong subconsciously followed her gaze, and the next moment he saw a familiar figure.

Concubine Taizhen!

Wang Chong was shocked. On the right side of the main hall, among the many concubines, Wang Chong saw Concubine Taizhen at a glance.

The Concubine Taizhen in front of her was still beautiful, but compared to before, she looked more haggard. She looked distracted and seemed to be watching something.

"The Holy Spirit's temperament has changed drastically. I'm afraid the one who is most disappointed is the empress."

Xu Qiqin suddenly spoke with some sympathy.

Wang Chong didn't say anything. Recently, there were various private rumors about Concubine Taizhen. However, seeing Concubine Taizhen's frustrated look, Wang Chong breathed a sigh of relief.

The "Holy Emperor" in front of him was not the Holy Emperor. He was a little worried at first, but looking at Concubine Taizhen's appearance, it was obvious that what he was worried about did not happen.

Wang Chong glanced at the crowd again, but did not see Crown Prince Li Heng and Wang Zhongsi, and he immediately frowned.

Since the East Palace incident, there have been rumors in the palace that Prince Li Heng seems to be unpopular. This loyal prince during the Three Kings Rebellion seems to have suddenly fallen out of favor in front of the "Holy Emperor". However, Wang Chong did not expect that the Holy Emperor would not let him appear at this feast of nations.

As for Wang Zhongsi, he was previously canonized as Prince Shaobao and served as the guardian and teacher of Prince Li Heng. However, this time he seemed to be attracted and did not appear here.

After thinking about this, a deep gloom suddenly passed between Wang Chong's brows, but he soon thought about it flawlessly. Following the melodious sound of bells, a majestic figure appeared behind the concubines. Wearing dragon robes and being guarded by a famous palace maid and eunuch, the dragon and tiger walked quickly towards the main hall of Huaxianxianghui Tower.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All the civil and military ministers and foreign envoys in Huaxianhui Tower stood up and bowed in salute. Wang Chong and Xu Qiqin also stood up and saluted together.

In an instant, there was silence in front of the entire Huacaixianghui Building.

And above the main hall, the "Holy Emperor" looked at the scene in front of him of the coming of all nations, his eyes wide open and his expression extremely excited.

"Did you see it? This time, I finally surpassed you!"

The "Holy Emperor" felt proud, and in the depths of his mind, something seemed to respond, but then there seemed to be nothing. For just a moment, the "Holy Emperor" quickly looked in front of him.

At the same time, he glanced at an old eunuch with gray hair on the right.

The old eunuch understood and immediately stepped forward. He stretched out his palm and, in the eyes of everyone, flicked open a piece of imperial edict, and then read loudly:

"It's destiny, the emperor decreed!"

"Today, the world is at peace, things are abundant, and all countries are communicating in harmony. Although the Hua and Hu are different, they are connected in the same vein and in mind. Hereby, a feast for all nations is held to show that the Hua and Hu family in the world are all brothers. , admire this!”

…

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Everyone spoke again, their voices loud and clear, shaking the whole world.

In front of the throne, the "Holy Emperor" listened to the voice of the mountain calling for long live, and looked down at the envoys from various countries and the rich capital of the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt a strong sense of pride and satisfaction in his heart. feel:

"My lords, please be free!"

The loud voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Until then, everyone bowed and took their seats again.

"clang!"

A loud bell rang, and at the same time, the eunuch's sharp voice reached his ears:

"Envoys from all countries are here to meet you!——"

"The envoy from Uzang came to see the Holy Emperor, and specially presented a great gift such as the sacred bones, etc., wishing the Holy Emperor a long life!"

"The envoys of the Ghaznavid Dynasty paid a visit to the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and specially presented a rare ancient treasure, the Seni Pearl, to wish the Holy Emperor a long life!"

"The envoy of Usumish Khan of the **Jue Khanate came to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and made a special gift to wish the Holy Emperor longevity and boundless life!"

"The Western Turkic Khanate presents a great gift..."

"The Kingdom of Zhenla presents a great gift..."

"I was ordered to present a large gift..."

"Cheqian Guojin gives you a big gift..."

…

In the loud voice, envoys from various countries came to see him one after another. When each person presented a gift, they all knelt on the ground with a humble and humble attitude.

Wang Chong watched with cold eyes, having no feeling for this kind of ceremony where all nations met, but the "Holy Emperor" on the throne laughed loudly. Every time more envoys presented their offerings, his smile became happier, and he was completely immersed in this joy. among.

Wang Chong knew very well that this was a banquet held by the "Holy Emperor" to celebrate his success.

"Although the Huache Xianghui Tower has hosted feasts before, and Honglu Temple is also known as the Ten Thousand Nations Come to the DPRK, only this time can it be called a veritable Feast of Ten Thousand Nations!"

Just when Wang Chong frowned, Xu Qiqin's gentle voice suddenly came from his ears.

Unlike Wang Chong, Xu Qiqin had a completely relaxed attitude and enjoyed this grand gathering of nations.

"So what if all the nations come to court? It's just like duckweed floating on the surface, it has no meaning at all!"

Wang Chong said calmly.

Although he does not object to this banquet, he will not support it. With Datang's material and financial resources, there is no burden at all to hold such a grand event, but he does not advocate it.

"Everything has two sides. There are pros and cons, and there are pros and cons..."

Xu Qiqin shook her head and smiled:

"Didn't you notice? Although the Holy Emperor convened this feast, the people who are happiest and enjoy this feast the most are actually the people of the capital."

Wang Chong looked stunned and turned his head subconsciously. Looking out from the Huaxianhui Tower, I could see countless firelights lighting up outside the city wall in the dark night, and there were many people moving in the firelight. I don't know how many people were looking at this place from a distance.
