Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

Ye Haoran walked out of Baibaozhai leisurely. When he arrived at the entrance of West Market, Fang Qing and others had already returned! So everyone returned to Ye Mansion happily!

The girls bought a lot of things and were still chattering about them after dinner!

Cheng Tieniu called Fang Qing out stealthily, and it was obvious that he was trying to show his affection by holding a mirror!

After a while, Li Xiuning also came. Since they hadn’t had dinner yet, Dili and Guli went to the kitchen to make some!

Li Xiuning patted her slightly bulging belly to express her appreciation for Dili and Guli's cooking skills!

"Your Majesty will host a banquet for the Khitan delegation tomorrow. I hope General Ye will go with them!" Li Xiuning looked at Ye Haoran seriously!

"Your Majesty, are you afraid that the Khitan delegation will do something weird?" Ye Haoran expressed his guess!

"The Khitans have always been ambitious, and they came to pay tribute this time because of the forced situation, so Your Majesty is sure that they will not surrender obediently!" Li Xiuning confirmed Ye Haoran's guess!

"Let's go together tomorrow!" Ye Haoran agreed!

The next day, Ye Haoran followed Li Xiuning into the palace. In the magnificent hall, Li Shimin and a group of civil and military officials were sitting upright!

The Royal Guards stood on both sides, wearing yellow clothes and golden armor, looking majestic!

"See Your Majesty!"

Ye Haoran and Li Xiuning saluted with fists!

"Lord Ye, Xiuning, please excuse me! Please take a seat!" Li Shimin waved his hand and the eunuch arranged two seats on the right, next to Li Zhi! Behind him were Li Ke, Li Yin and other princes!

On the opposite side are Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and other civil and military ministers!

It was reasonable for Ye Haoran to sit with the other princes as he had the title of the Crown Prince's Tutor! This was enough to show how much Li Shimin valued Ye Haoran!

"The Khitan delegation has arrived!"

The eunuch outside the gate shouted loudly!

Yelu Liangcai, accompanied by the four elders of Tiandi Xuanhuang and two black-robed messengers, walked into the hall!

"Long live the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Yelu Liangcai, on behalf of the Khitan people, pays tribute to His Majesty with 5,000 fine horses, 20,000 furs, and 10,000 cattle and sheep!"

Yelu Liangcai spoke slowly, neither humble nor arrogant!

In fact, this thing is not very significant to the Tang Dynasty, but it also represents the submission of Khitan and once again becoming a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I have heard that the Khitan prince Yelu Liangcai is a genius. Today I see that his reputation is well-deserved! Come! Give the prince my four treasures of the study. From now on, our two countries will make peace and never fight again!"

Yelu Liangcai accepted the reward and bowed again, saying, "Father was deceived by the traitors and sent troops to fight against the Tang Dynasty. He regretted it afterwards! Fortunately, the Tang emperor has forgiven the past and the two countries have reconciled. Why not add two more programs to the banquet today to show the friendship between the two countries!"

Here it comes! Ye Haoran thought to himself!

Li Shimin frowned slightly and continued with a smile: "Prince, if you have any suggestions, just say it!"

"The Tang Dynasty has a long history and has produced many talented people. Why not use literature as the centerpiece and martial arts to enhance the atmosphere? What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"This..." Li Shimin hesitated for a moment!

"I agree, Prince, please take a seat first!"

Yelu Liangcai sat opposite Ye Haoran. Seeing Ye Haoran greeting him in a frivolous manner, Yelu Liangcai turned his head away and ignored him!

Tsk! He's still so arrogant! It seems he hasn't learned his lesson from yesterday! Ye Haoran curled his lips!

The banquet began with a group of court dancers singing and dancing, but everyone had their own thoughts and had no intention of enjoying the performance. Only Ye Haoran, who looked as if he had never seen the world, watched with great interest!

After the song was over, Yelu Liangcai stood up, clasped his fists and said loudly to the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty:

"You are all talented people who are pillars of the Tang Dynasty. I recently came across a fragment of a poem that has a beginning but no end. I hope you can help me solve my confusion!"

"Please speak, little prince!" Li Zhi stood up!

The two looked at each other!

For a moment, the hall was silent!
