The Byzantine Empire fell and the emperor was captured alive. This was a major event that shocked all countries.

Especially many large and small countries in the Western Region and Europe were sincerely shocked by this incident.

The huge Byzantine Empire, the most powerful country in the world after the Tang Dynasty, was completely destroyed in a short period of time. This is not surprising.

The most shocking thing is Datang's terrifying strength.

After Li Chengdao received the battle report, he sent invitations to all countries, inviting kings from all countries to come to Datang to attend the celebration banquet.

This invitation is Li Chengdao's invitation to the kings of various countries, which means that the kings of their countries must be present in person, and sending envoys will not work.

After the kings of various countries received the news, the kings of Persia, Tianzhu, Tubo, Qiuci and other countries accepted the invitation without hesitation, and then immediately set off for Datang.

Seeing this, the kings of other countries did not dare to hesitate any more, accepted the invitation one after another, and set off for the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone knows that this feast for the kings of various countries is not only to celebrate the Tang Dynasty's overthrow of the Byzantine Empire, but also to establish the Tang Dynasty as the most powerful country in the world!

Not accepting this invitation would mean going against the Tang Dynasty and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

As for what the outcome will be, there is no need to elaborate further.

……

The banquet was initially scheduled to be held in mid-August, and during this period, kings from all over the world also arrived in Datang, increasing the number of people in Chang'an City by nearly a quarter.

Kings from all over the world come to court, which makes the officials of the Ministry of Rites extremely busy. They are so exhausted every day that they can hardly spare the time to drink tea.

In the end, even the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs were recruited and came over to help receive them.

However, it is busy, but officials at all levels have no complaints about it.

The reason is very simple. Kings from all over the world came to Chang'an in person to pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This is simply unprecedented and will be recorded in history forever!

All officials feel honored to be able to participate in such an event.

On the other hand, the kings from various countries who came to Chang'an to attend the banquet were also extremely shocked by the prosperity and power of the Tang Dynasty!

After entering Chang'an, they felt like a country bumpkin who had lived in isolation in a mountain village for a long time and entered a modern metropolis. Everything was so novel.

No matter from which aspect, Datang was more than twice as powerful as their country?This is a huge gap!

A prosperous economy, advanced technology, and a diverse political culture are all things their country does not have.

After seeing this, they understood that the power of Datang was definitely not superficial, but real power, and it would only become more powerful in the future!

Who can not be in awe of such a country with great development potential and vitality?

……

Imperial Palace, Baohe Hall.

Baohe Hall is the place where the emperor gives banquets, and this banquet of all nations will be held here.

In order to prepare for this banquet, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Household Affairs spent a lot of material and financial resources. They must organize this banquet perfectly without any mistakes.

At this time, the banquet has not yet begun, and kings from various countries have already entered the Baohe Hall one after another.

At the end of the Baohe Hall is the Kowloon Steps, with the emperor's seat in the middle.

On both sides of the hall, the row on the left is the seats for hundreds of officials, civil and military officials in the court; on the right is the seats for the kings of various countries who are coming to the court this time.

The first few people in the row on the left are Yue Fei, Li Jing, Jia Xu, Han Xin and other civil servants and military generals. They are all the people who contributed the most to the destruction of the Byzantine Empire.

Under them, they were sorted according to their official positions, and even generals such as Li Lizhi and Yue Yun were among them.

The kings are seated on the right side, and the first few people in the row are Songtsen Gampo, the Tibetan emperor, the Persian emperor Ala Sheikh, and the Indian king Saliers.

The three countries also contributed a lot to the destruction of the Byzantine Empire. Giving them this seat shows that Li Chengdao attaches great importance to them, and it also makes the three of them feel honored.

Obviously, according to Li Chengdao's character of rewarding meritorious service, he would not treat them badly.

The kings of other countries can only envy him.

The banquet has not yet begun, and there is still some noise in the Baohe Hall.

Officials and kings from various countries talked with each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Monarch of Tubo, for being able to assist the Tang Dynasty in overthrowing the Byzantine Empire this time, both our countries have to thank you."

The Persian Emperor Alaa bowed his head and paid tribute to Songtsen Gampo.

"Yes, please accept our thanks."

The Emperor of Tianzhu also bowed his head slightly to Songtsen Gampo and spoke sincerely.

If Songtsan Gampra hadn't led them to participate in the cooperation plan, they might have missed this opportunity to truly make good friends with Datang.

After hearing what the two said, Songtsen Gampo smiled and said: "You two just seized the opportunity. The rise of the Tang Dynasty is an inevitable result, and both of you made the right choice.

I would like to propose a toast to both of you to celebrate our friendship with Datang! "

The Emperor of Persia and the Emperor of India both smiled, raised their glasses and clinked their glasses with Songtsen Gampo, feeling very good.

……

the other side.

"Li Zhi, I heard about your defeat of the million-strong Byzantine army. Congratulations on your great achievements. It seems that our Tang Dynasty will really have a female general comparable to Princess Pingyang Zhao."

Yue Yun smiled at Li Lizhi and said.

Seeing Yue Yun again after almost a year, Li Lizhi felt a little complicated. After hesitating for a long time, she sighed: "I'm sorry about that."

Yue Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled casually and said: "You and I have been together for so long, don't you understand my character? If you don't like me, will I still seek death and survive? The past is in the past. I wish you good fortune in the future. , will soon become my pillar of the Tang Dynasty!"

"But I won't let you."

Yue Yun has already looked past what happened before. He is quite similar to Yue Fei in terms of ambition and ambition.

Hearing Yue Yun's words, Li Lizhi felt a huge weight drop in her heart. She raised her cup and raised her eyebrows and said, "It's still unclear who will let whom!"

The two cups clinked together, and the grudges and estrangements in each other's hearts disappeared.

After a while, a sharp singing sound suddenly came.

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

As the voice fell, Li Chengdao, dressed in a bright yellow imperial crown and with an extraordinary majesty, walked into the hall.

And beside him was Wu Meiniang in gorgeous clothes!

Wu Meiniang is now more than five months pregnant, and her belly has obviously swelled, but Li Chengdao brought her to the banquet of all nations today.

The reason is simple, this is what Li Chengdao insists on.

Wu Meiniang is indispensable for this. She is also qualified to participate in this banquet of all nations!

Li Chengdao and Wu Meiniang walked into the main hall, then walked up the Kowloon steps together, and turned to face the many courtiers and kings of various countries in the audience.

"See Your Majesty——!"

Regardless of the ministers, generals, or kings, everyone left the table and bowed to Li Chengdao.

Salute to the supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the common leader of the world!

Standing next to Li Chengdao, looking at the people kneeling in front of the audience, Wu Meiniang felt so nervous that her breathing almost stopped, and she couldn't help but cast her eyes on Li Chengdao.

Li Chengdao calmly accepted the worship of kings and ministers from all over the world, with endless majesty between his picturesque brows.

At this moment, he is the one that everyone needs to worship! ..
