The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 215 Gifts from the Common People

Those present in Daying on the outskirts of Beijing were people from Datang with a heart in Datang, and they were all very happy.

After all, if the weapon is so powerful, it belongs to one's own country, and it represents one's own interests. If one's own interests are preserved, who can be unhappy?

It is estimated that those who were unhappy and did not dare to say it were the envoys from the small countries and tribes who came to participate in the Longevity Festival.

For example, the Annan envoy who was so frightened that he defecated (niào) on the spot, where he was standing now, there were only a few people from Annan, and the others were far away.

The smell of adult excrement is still quite smoky.Besides, you are timid and frightened, so you wouldn't defecate in this kind of situation, can you not be ashamed?
As for whether Annan's envoy is thinking about the mountains and forests in his own place, he is most afraid of such a powerful explosive weapon, or is he just timid or something, then I don't know.

If it weren't for the fear of being beaten before, Annan would not have recognized Datang as the boss.

In recent years, the quality of Annan's tribute items has declined a lot. If it hadn't been for the disobedience of the Wa Kingdom and Gaoju (gōu) Li (lí) in the past two years, Emperor Wu sent troops to destroy these two places. Killing them all, fostering newcomers, and leaving a confidant as the governor in power, Annan will not send an envoy to congratulate Emperor Wu this time.

I also watched what should be seen, and Emperor Wu also got on his horse again and wanted to go back to the city to complete the next process.

Of course, the posture of returning to the city is even more ostentatious than when they came here.

Originally, only Baiqi followed, and two brigades of infantry were adjourned. This time, when they returned to the city, two regiments (400 people) from the Beijing suburban camp followed and escorted them.

In fact, there were so many people here that the hidden guards in the dark felt that if the gate of the temple appeared at this time, they would probably be shot dead by random arrows before reaching Emperor Wu.

Sure enough, there were no surprises or dangers on the way back, and they returned to the city safely.

When Emperor Wu controlled the horse and passed by Zhuque Street again, she felt it carefully, and it was true that she did not have that warm feeling in her chest.

Emperor Wu thought for a while, and took this matter to heart first, and will talk about it later when he has time.

What we have to do now is to accept gifts from the people on the imperial city tower.

On Emperor Wu's birthday, it is naturally the most appropriate to congratulate Longevity without Borders. The official of the Ministry of Rites really knows how to find it, and he found ten old people who are octogenarian (mào dié) to present gifts.

This gift is not something precious, but a blessing from the old man.

Although Emperor Wu didn't think there was any good in this, did he still think it was really good to torment these 90-[-]-year-olds?

You must know that these long-lived old people were all found from various places in the Tang Dynasty according to their household registration stickers, not all of them lived in Chang'an City.

Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Rites has found someone to invite these old people to Chang'an, offering delicious food and drink, and waiting for them to come to present gifts on the Longevity Day.

Therefore, Emperor Wu felt that this was not tormenting people.

However, standing on the imperial city, I saw the gray-haired old man on the stage below wearing new satin clothes. After calling the name from the beginning, the old man who was called stood up and bowed to salute with a proud look on his face.

Emperor Wu thought, they should be willing.

Then she herself, as the blessed recipient, has nothing to say.

Yes, let's cooperate.

Following the roll call of "Deng Rong, Yongxian County, Qizhou Prefecture", the glowing old man with white hair and beard who sat at the first place stood up, bowed his head in the direction of Emperor Wu, and then turned to face the surrounding crowd. The crowd bowed their hands.

Below is a young lady, with only a golden hairpin on her head. The grandmother in eggplant purple clothes got up and saluted neatly after hearing her call name "Ma Qionghua, Hue, Gyeongju".

This granny is the only girl in the ten-year-old family, and there is another granny who is older than her. She has lost all her teeth, but she still has a clear mind.

After all the ten old men had finished calling their names, Lang Guan announced loudly that the long-lived old man would present a gift to Emperor Wu.

All the onlookers were amazed, it is very rare to have a long-lived old man in the family at this time.

Not to mention the old man on this platform, the youngest age is past seventy, and the oldest man is the man in his early 90s who is known as Renrui.

"It's really worth it to go out today. It's not in vain that I went out to occupy a seat as soon as the gate of Wugeng Tianfang opened."

"Yo, it's really early for you then."

"Haha, my family is far away from here. If you want to occupy a good seat, you have to get up early? The oldest old man I have ever seen is only seventy years old. Look, the youngest life expectancy on the table is only seventy years old. .”

Lang Guan said that when the long-lived old man was about to present a gift, the people in the surrounding crowd all looked at him eagerly, what kind of gift was this old man going to present?

After the old man at the head stood up, the remaining nine people stood up one by one, facing Emperor Wu who was standing on the tower.

Starting from the old man at the head, one person came out and said loudly:

bless the saints,
People are long, the moon is long and round, and spring is long;
The country is prosperous, the family is harmonious, and the blessing is eternal.

The next old man came out and said:

bless the saints,
The sun and the moon are prosperous, Songhe Changchun;
Laughing often, family relationship forever.

The last old man stepped forward and said:

Blessed person:
Longevity is boundless, the Eucharist is healthy, and the national fortune is prosperous!

As soon as these words came out, some people around echoed, "Longevity is boundless, the holy body is healthy and prosperous, and the country's fortune is prosperous!"

As soon as the second time came out, they were infected, and hundreds of people gathered around Suzaku Square also bowed their heads and saluted, repeating the words in their mouths, "Longevity is boundless, the holy body is healthy, and the country's fortune is prosperous!"

When one person speaks, it seems to be indifferent, but when you stand on a high place and look at thousands of people bowing their heads and saluting to you below, and saying "Longevity is boundless, the Holy Body is healthy and prosperous, and the country's fortune is prosperous", that This kind of shock is really quite impressive.

When the hundreds of Jinwu guards around gave the military salute and shouted loudly, "Longevity is boundless, the fortune of the country is prosperous", the atmosphere reached its highest point.

Of course, Li Sanniang couldn't see this scene.

Li Sanniang, who has arrived home in a donkey cart, has already had her second lunch with Li's father and mother.

To be honest, Li Sanniang still really wanted to see Emperor Wu again, and she really wanted to make sure if it was because of meeting her colleagues through time travel that she felt that strange sense of discomfort.

In other words, it was only the first time I met Emperor Wu at that time, and because of the power of Emperor Wu, my heart beat too fast.

However, a miss is a miss.

Li Sanniang, who has always been materialistic and occasionally goes against her will, wondered if it made her feel that it was an earthquake but it wasn't. Maybe it was the God of time travel who prevented her from meeting Emperor Wu.

Seeing Lu Zhu'er happily eating butter and burning the fire, Li Sanniang put the matter aside, no matter what, what should come will always come, or before that, enjoy life when you should enjoy life, and accumulate strength when you need to accumulate strength.
