Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 742 East Palace Feast (2)

On September [-]th of the third year of Yifeng, the end of the application period, the sky was not yet dark, and with the arrival of the large-scale Dashi envoys, the East Palace became lively, even though Li Xian was only in the name of a private person There were no courtiers to accompany the banquet for the Dashi envoys, but there were more than [-] officials at all levels in the East Palace who accompanied them, and counting the [-] or so people of the Dashi envoys, the banquet The scale is not too small, there is really no big hall that can accommodate it, even the most spacious Ganlu Hall in the East Palace, it can only be seated on the square in front of the hall, fortunately the weather is fine, but Not afraid of the risk of rain.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

The square was crowded with people, and the conversations were quite loud, but most of them were chatting among themselves, nothing else, the language was not clear, and there were only a few active people on both sides who compared hands. It seemed quite amusing to gesticulate indiscriminately, but all of this stopped abruptly after a shout, and everyone stood up, each bowing down to welcome Li Xian's arrival visit.

Hmm, I found it, it should be that person!
Li Xian's seat was on the steps in front of the hall, and he could reach it as soon as he stepped out of the hall. However, Li Xian was not in a hurry to sit down, but squinted his eyes, and quickly scanned the place where the Dashi envoys were. His eyes finally fell on a middle-aged man who was dressed as a guard and stood on the seat behind Mua Via Aben. Relying on the intuition of a master, Li Xian instantly identified this person. There is nothing else, it's just because the person has an awe-inspiring and unyielding spirit, even if he lowers his head, his waist is obviously much straighter than others.

"Ok!"

Perhaps it was because Li Xian's eyes stayed on him for a while, Yazid ibn Abu felt a faint throbbing for a while, and he raised his head in surprise, his eyes just right The eyes of Li Xian collided with each other suddenly, and Yazid ibn Abu couldn't help but let out a muffled snort when he was caught off guard.

"No, let's all sit down."

Yazid ibn Abu's gaffe was not very conspicuous, but it was difficult to escape Li Xian's observation. Seeing him, he quickly stabilized his mind, and there was a hint of approval in his heart, and he didn't No matter how difficult it is, he smiled slightly, looked away, raised his hand in vain, and ordered very kindly.

"I am waiting to thank Your Highness for giving me a seat!"

Li Xian called his seat, and the officials of the East Palace did not dare to be negligent. He didn't know Chinese, so his reaction was a bit slow. When he saw that the officials of the Tang Dynasty had already sat down one after another, he hurriedly thanked him according to the etiquette of Dashi. In terms of volume, they are far from those of the officials of the Eastern Palace.

"Mua Via Aben, I remember your name correctly, right?"

After everyone was seated, Li Xian's eyes fell on Mua Via A himself, who was sitting on the seat closest to the steps on the left, and greeted him with a smile.

"Your Highness still remembers the foreign minister, this, this really surprised the foreign minister, and the foreign minister greeted His Highness."

Mua Via Aben came to China on the Datang fleet a few years ago, went to Chang'an, lived in the Lifan Court for a long time, and then returned to China with the caravan on the Silk Road. When he was in Lanzhou, he once I was fortunate to be interviewed by Li Xian once, but I didn't have too many detailed discussions. Mua Via Aben originally thought that Li Xian had already forgotten such a small person as himself, but he didn't expect that Li Xian He called out his full name as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn't help feeling very proud, so he hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

"Forget it, I am very happy to see my old friend today, so I don't need to observe the etiquette, just eat as you like."

Li Xian seemed to be in a very good mood, and his words were very warm. He didn't put on the airs of a prince of a great country at all, so Ruola exhorted him in a familiar way.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your love. The foreign ministers are very lucky. This time, the foreign ministers came here under the order of my family's caliphate, to have a relationship with the Tang Dynasty..."

Seeing Li Xian's friendly attitude, Mu'a Via Aben was very happy, so he thought of taking the opportunity to bring up the matter of the alliance.

"The Qing family doesn't need to talk too much. Today's banquet only talks about romance, not state affairs. If there is anything to say, it won't be too late to talk about it slowly when discussing matters tomorrow morning."

Li Xian returned to Hexu, but he didn't intend to talk to Mua Via Aben about serious matters at this moment, and before he could finish speaking, he interrupted in an unquestionable tone.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, the foreign minister is rude, the foreign minister is rude."

Mua Via Aben was originally a petty tax collector relying on his nepotism. Although he has the name of an envoy this time, he is still a small person inside. He interrupted the conversation bluntly on the spot, and he didn't have the guts to be strong, but he felt guilty, nodding and bowing wildly to accompany him.

"The Qing family doesn't have to be so restrained, let go, come, let's sing and dance!"

Since Li Xian would not be as knowledgeable as Mua Via Aben, he smiled slightly, gave a casual order, and clapped his hands to signal the start of the banquet. Immediately, he heard drums and music, and groups of court ladies in costumes danced and marched The earth enters from outside the arena, and the water sleeves are flying across the room. The scenery is full of bells, and the singing sound is like a yellow warbler singing and a green willow. He was drooling in a stupefied state, and his state was really unbearable, but Yazid ibn Abu was not affected by this. Although his eyes were watching the singing and dancing like others, he was always watching from the corner of his eyes. Li Xian's every move.

Hmm, he is really a cautious person, this kid should not be underestimated!

Yazid ibn Abu was watching Li Xian, but he didn't know that Li Xian was also watching him, but Li Xian didn't need to look at him at all, he could sense Yezid ibn Abu with his breath. Ibn Abu knew every move and every move. Not only was Yazid ibn Abu not moved by the extremely pleasing singing and dancing, but he didn't even eat much food, but he glanced over from time to time , Li Xian's evaluation of him is naturally more optimistic.

"Abenqing's family, how about this song and dance?"

The singing and dancing are pleasing to the eye, but there is always an end. After the sound of the drums, the singers disappeared, only the lingering sound was still lingering in the sky above the square, and the applause and applause of all kinds of people who were still unsatisfied were endless. After the applause stopped, Li Xian waved to Mu'a Via Aben with a smile, and asked a question that seemed quite self-satisfied.

"Okay, it's really good. The foreign minister has never seen such a pleasing song and dance in his life. It's really a great fortune for the foreign minister to be able to see this."

Mua Via Aben is indeed a person who has stayed in China for more than two years. He can speak Chinese not only smoothly, but also drop a few sentences. Although the accent is not pure, it can express the meaning. It is extremely impossible.

"The Qing family thinks it's good, well, both your country and ours value martial arts, and it's not a good thing to listen to too much music, so let's say, it's rare for your country to send so many warriors here, why don't you come to a pre-court martial arts competition?" what?"

Although Li Xian's hosting a banquet this time is due to etiquette, but he might as well have other considerations, seeing that the song and dance had already passed the discount, he suggested it with a smile.

"Ah, this..."

Li Xian's proposal was really too sudden. Unexpectedly, Mua Via Aben couldn't help being speechless. He turned his head back in a little panic, and looked at Ye Qi with an inquiring gaze. De ibn Abu.

idiot!

Although Yezid ibn Abu could not understand Li Xian's words, how could he not guess that what Li Xian said must be testing the truth of his own side? To himself, he was so angry that he really wanted to pull out the knife and kill the idiot Mu'a Viah Aben, but he was only annoyed, and Yezid ibn Abu had nothing to do with it. Maybe it was pretending not to see Mua Via Aben's eyes asking for help.

"Abenqing's family, the strong man behind you is of great stature, and he must be a master. I think it's up to him to play."

Li Xian had already determined that Yazid ibn Abu's identity was not simple, but now seeing Mu'a Via Aben's behavior, his heart became clearer, so he smirked and said something run road.

"Ah, this, I'm afraid this is not good? Foreign ministers, foreign ministers..."

Hearing that Li Xian was going to ask his master to compete, Mua Via Aben was so frightened that his face turned green, but he didn't know what reason to reject Li Xian's proposal, so anxious that he was sweating madly It dripped non-stop.

"It's okay, it's just playing around in front of the court, A Benqing's family won't give Ben Gong this face, huh?"

Li Xian didn't intend to give Mua Via Aben a chance to shirk, so he grimaced and snorted displeasedly.

"Ah...His Royal Highness, let's wait and ask the foreign ministers before we talk, and we will talk after we ask."

Seeing that Li Xian's expression was wrong, Mua Via Aben couldn't bear it any longer. He stretched out his big sleeve, wiped his head and face frantically a few times, forced a few wry smiles, and stammered in pleading.

"Well, the Qing family can just ask."

Facing Mua Via Aben's sad face like a mourning concubine, Li Xian did not force him anymore, but agreed with a slightly embarrassed face.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your love."

Mu'a Weah Aben pleaded guilty with a wry smile, then turned around without any scruples, and relayed Li Xian's proposal to Yazid ibn Abu respectfully in Arabic.

"Ah!"

Yezid ibn Abu is the crown prince, he has been very intelligent since he was a child, and he has led the army for many years. How could he not know what Li Xian's real intentions were, but he had arrogance in his heart, and after quietly listening to Mua Via Aben's narration, he didn't say much, just chuckled lightly, straightened his waist, People have stood up at this point.
