The morning sun in the East was about to rise, shed blood like brilliance, and fell into the long river in the distance.

On the endless official road, dozens of black riders move slowly. Some look to the East with holy eyes. Others look back to the West with a crescent moon hanging in the sky.

In the distance, a boundless beast slowly opens its eyes and crawls with the mouth of a big blood basin. It seems that it can swallow all things in the world and wait for its prey to fall into the net.

This is the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, which has gone through 16 years. It is still like the rising sun, with countless bright and prosperous.

Chang'an, Chang'an County, jinguangmen.

It's late autumn now. Instead of being cool, it's hot and dry. There is no cloud in the sky and no atmosphere.

"Squeak

With the long sound, under the golden gate, two heavy gates were slowly pushed open by the guards, indicating the awakening of Chang'an.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise behind the city gate. There were people calling for friends and companions, there were also foreign voices, and there were people shouting for goods.

Most of the people who went in and out of jinguangmen were Hu merchants who had traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an. They started from remote places such as Daqin, Dashi, Persia and Fulin, experienced snow mountains, deserts and grasslands, suffered severe cold and heat in spring and autumn, only to be able to come to Chang'an and earn countless wealth.

According to the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, there was no need to close the gate of Waiguo, but because of the Double Ninth Festival a few days ago, the city broke into the Turkic Langwei to assassinate an important official of the imperial court.

Although he didn't succeed in the end and was captured by Jin Wuwei Cheng, he still went up to heaven to listen, which made the sage angry and ordered to eliminate the remnants of Langwei.

Therefore, in recent days, the twelve gates of Waiguo were temporarily closed to prevent the remnants of Langwei from fleeing at night.

"Let's go!"

With the opening of the golden gate and shouchenglang's order, Hu merchants scrambled to get in and out, and the prosperity of prosperous times emerged.

Half an hour later, the rising sun shines all over the world, and the Honglu Temple of Baiguan government office is as busy as usual.

Honglu temple was in charge of foreign guests and ceremonies. It was in the heyday of Kaiyuan Dynasty. Every day, foreign envoys came to Chang'an to pay homage to the sages of heaven.

As well as Honglu Temple officials, hard work, responsibility is important.

According to earlier reports, a total of 34 members of the Dakang mission will arrive in Chang'an today. Shaoqing of Honglu temple, together with the officials, will personally greet them outside the gate of Jinguang.

According to the etiquette system of the Tang Dynasty, the state of Dakang is only a small country in the western regions, which can be received by Huaiyuan post. Otherwise, it may be overstepped.

However, there are some exceptions. This time, the state of Dakang paid tribute to the "holy things". When the sage learned the news, he ordered Honglu temple to make an exception and let Shaoqing of Honglu Temple greet him personally.

About half an hour later, Hu merchants who went in and out of the golden gate could see Shaoqing, officials and guards of honor coming from afar.

However, their arrival did not stir up any storm, and the pedestrians only retreated a little, which seemed to have been used to it for a long time.

"To Shaoqing, the mission of Dakang has arrived, three miles away."

Half an hour later, Wang Hou, who was in charge of inquiring, reported that the Dakang mission had already arrived three miles away. After hearing this, Shaoqing of Honglu temple had almost no change. He just adjusted the whole official hat and robe, and was well prepared.

Officials of the imperial court will never lose their dignity.

Within two quarters of a three mile journey, the thirty-four cavalry of the Dakang mission appeared at the same time under the golden gate. According to the ritual system, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple played music to welcome the foreign envoys.

As a small country in the western regions, it's a great honor to have Shaoqing of Honglu temple to take care of it. How dare you be self righteous? Including the chief and Deputy envoys, they all dismounted to show their vassal officials.

In Chang'an, the arrival of the Dakang mission was a trivial matter. Even the Hu merchants in the past did not pay much attention to it.

As everyone knows, when the Dakang mission came to Chang'an, there were youths on the Yueyou plain in the southeast of Chang'an. From a farther place, they slowly climbed to the top in the light of the rising sun.

He looked down at the creeping beast in front of him.

The boy once heard that Chang'an is the largest city in the world. It is made of gold and is said to be the "Heavenly City of nine days". As long as he enters Chang'an, there will be countless rich people.

The boy looked up in ragged clothes, barefoot and dirty face. He pulled out a happy smile from the corner of his mouth. The light was shining on his face, especially dazzling.

He is about to enter Chang'an to pursue a glory.

After watching for a long time, the young man tightened his backpack on his shoulders, and once again walked barefoot to Chang'an, the "city of heaven". He was dressed in the glow of the rising sun, with a golden road at his feet. From then on, he made a smooth progress.

······

in the great Tang Dynasty, on the 15th of the twelfth lunar month in the 29th year of Kaiyuan, it has been completed.

Chang'an City, Wannian County, Dongshi.

Although it's winter in March and September, the prosperity of Chang'an city is not reduced by half.

The scholars with wide robes and sleeves, long swords on their waists, the Hu people with blonde faces, lapels and narrow sleeves, and the civilians with short brown clothes were bustling.

Look at the long street, Hu merchants are constantly coming and going, camel bells are melodious, shouting is full, so busy.All of a sudden, a magician from Persia showed off his magic skills and made people applaud. In the palm of his hand, a mass of flame flew and was swallowed in the twinkling of an eye. When the watchman screamed, he opened his mouth and spewed again. The flame turned into a fire dragon, hovering in the air, and the hot waves came to his face.

The Hu people's band from Fulin, too, is not to be outdone. On their high hunchbacks, they spread lace cushions, and then set up a broad platform. On the platform, there are seven male musicians sitting, or holding Pipa and clapper, or playing konghou and panxiao, playing a hu music.

Among the other seven stood a plump woman from the western regions, singing and dancing.

There are also children riding on bamboo horses, shouting "a thousand characters" in their mouths, making noise in the market.

The style of the Tang Dynasty and the customs of all countries are fully displayed.

Outside dongshifang, there is a Kaiming animal flag hanging in the middle of the lintel. Outside, the street is noisy and irritating. Some clerks drive the camels orderly with cowhide whip, count the goods and call for companions. The foreign accent happens to be the same.

They are queuing up to enter the east city.

The officials of Dongshi department, holding a book in their left hand and a pen in their right hand, stood on both sides of the north entrance of Dongshi. They seriously examined the goods of Hu merchants from the northern grassland or Xinluo, as well as their customs clearance documents. They had no feeling to say.

After registering for the Uighur caravan in front of him, the young official waved to the back. Suddenly, a Hu merchant in double lapels and brown robes came and presented his hands.

After the young official took it, he looked at it slightly. It seemed that something was wrong, and he could not help frowning.

According to Guo Suo Shang's records, this Hu merchant team came from Persia and passed through many small countries in the western regions. The customs clearance documents were normal, but only the great Kang was missing.
