I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

The scale of the Daming Palace is beyond imagination. It is more than five times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing in later generations. It covers a vast area and has a magnificent architectural complex. It can be said to be the crown of palace buildings in all dynasties.

Perhaps only the strong national strength and prosperous economy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty could support such a grand project.

It was not until today that he truly understood his father's good intentions.

Faced with so many vassal states coming to pay tribute, if the suzerain state did not have a venue large enough and solemn enough to accommodate them, it would undoubtedly become a laughing stock of the world. Where would the face of the Tang Dynasty be?

Li Shimin tightened his belt to build the Daming Palace. Of course, this was done to demonstrate national power and save face, but more importantly, it was to ensure that the Tang Dynasty would always stand at the top on the international stage and overlook the world with its majestic posture.

Of course, among the many countries that came, not all of them were vassal states. There were also countries with vast territories and strong power like the Arab Empire.

They came here more with a desire to explore, wanting to get a glimpse of the true face of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and see the charm and majesty of this Oriental dragon that has attracted worldwide attention.

Li Chengqian didn't care about this at all. In his mind, no matter what these countries really thought, whether they were truly respectful and submissive or just pretending to be submissive on the surface, it didn't matter.

The existence of the Tang Dynasty has never been to make the four barbarians submit, but to make them fear!

Today, in the Daming Palace, which enjoys the reputation of "the Palace of a Thousand Palaces", a grand ceremony that shocks the ancient and modern times is about to begin.

“The palace gates of heaven are opened, and people from all over the world dress in formal attire to pay homage to the emperor!” Although this poem by Wang Wei has not yet been published, it seems to be tailor-made for today’s scene, vividly depicting the spectacular scene that is about to appear.

Under the Dragon Terrace, more than 30,000 envoys from various countries, dressed in colorful costumes of various styles, stood quietly waiting.

Some of them had awe in their eyes, while others had hidden thoughts and their eyes flickered, but in this solemn atmosphere, no one dared to act rashly.

At the foot of the jade steps, the Tang warriors were tall and strong, holding spears tightly in their hands, and lined up on both sides in a majestic manner.

Even the eunuchs who were usually cautious in the palace were infected by the grand momentum when they saw this scene. An unprecedented sense of pride surged in their hearts, and they subconsciously raised their chins slightly and straightened their backs.

This is the Tang Dynasty, this is the Eastern Dragon that has attracted the attention of the world!

After three drum beats, the powerful and passionate drum sound penetrated the sky, shattered the silence between heaven and earth, and officially sounded the prelude to the ceremony.

Li Shimin held the young Li Jingyou in his arms and walked steadily.

The red crown he wore exuded an air of supreme majesty.

Li Chengqian also wore a crown with twelve tassels, and the tassels swayed gently with their steps.

Li Chengqian followed slowly behind, holding Su Zhi's arm, also wearing a red crown, with an upright posture and a dignified demeanor.

Su Zhi was wearing a red long dress and crown. The bright red color contrasted with her fair skin, making her look even more charming and beautiful.

Twelve golden hairpins on her head sparkled brightly. She smiled and gracefully took Li Chengqian's arm, walking at the same height as Li Chengqian with a graceful demeanor.

As the three of them slowly walked onto the Dragon Platform, more than 10,000 Tang Dynasty officials below the platform instantly stood in unison and took the lead in saluting.

They crouched low, their movements in unison, and shouted in unison: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The sound resounded throughout the Daming Palace, echoing between the palace walls for a long time.

After the Tang officials finished speaking, the more than 30,000 envoys from various countries began to speak.

They bowed their hands and lowered their waists in a respectful and humble manner, bowing even lower than the Tang officials, and shouted in unison: "We pay our respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"May your Majesty be blessed!"

The different accents intertwined together, some were high-pitched and passionate, while others were low and gentle.

The sound echoed for a long time above the Daming Palace, announcing to the world the power of the Tang Dynasty.
