Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

Well, this old man really dares to say, when did Tubo become a friendly neighbor of the Tang Dynasty?When did the Tang Dynasty say that destroying the Western Turks was as easy as drinking water?This was obviously spoken to the envoys of the Western Turks.

"Your envoy, run away quickly and escape from Honglu Temple. When I send someone to find you, this man has all eyes and hands. You must not file a complaint, or you will be in danger."

Hearing Tang Jian's reminder, Chu Mi didn't care too much, so he ran away, even forgetting that he didn't even have any money with him.

On the other side, Xue Rengui had already overturned the entire Western Turkic team by himself, and captured the general of the Western Turkic army. It was not until the hundred guards from the Western Turkic entourage arrived that the farce subsided.

At noon, Du Shaoqing took Xue Rengui out of Honglu Temple unscathed, Tang Jian grabbed the Western Turkic general and comforted him, he must not mess with this murderer.

The general was actually the deputy envoy of the Western Turks who came along, so he didn't need to be appeased at all. Thinking of Xue Rengui's bravery, he nodded repeatedly, "The warriors of the Tang Dynasty are indeed fierce, and I am not as good as the Western Turks."

Chapter 321 Poor little Si

Emperor Li Er didn't know anything about what happened in Honglu Temple. At this time, he was receiving the envoys from Gaochang with Fang Xuanling in the Yizheng Hall.

Like the Western Turks, the Gaochang Kingdom is located in the Western Regions, and the two countries have been here before and after, but these people are frequent visitors to the Tang Dynasty, and they come to the Tang Dynasty every year. This time, I heard that the Tang Dynasty destroyed Tubo. Tate deliberately sent his son Ju Zhisheng as the main ambassador, hoping that the heir would increase his knowledge.

Different from the Western Turks, Gaochang people saw that the chief official of Honghe Temple was not there, and had no place to submit their credentials. Without delay, they went directly to the palace to ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yixin asked how Tang Jian of Honghe Temple did things?Can you make people ask for a meeting more politely?

Originally, Li Er didn't want to see them, but he remembered that Gao Chang had been very active in the Western Regions in recent years, so he planned to meet them in person to see what their attitude was.

Deputy envoy Gao Chang led his own prince to visit the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and then explained the purpose of coming. Like everyone else, he congratulated Datang on the great victory of destroying the country.

After the prince Ju Zhisheng sat down, he said: "My father said that Gaochang and Datang have always had good relations. To ensure the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Gaochang is willing to provide military guards for the merchants traveling westward in the Tang Dynasty, so as to ensure that these merchants can do business in the Western Regions safely."

"Oh? King Gaochang is so sincere? How much will the guards cost along the way?" Li Erruo asked meaningfully.

"There is no need for a toll fee. This time we are doing this purely for charity. After all, these merchants from the Western Regions have already paid tolls along the way, and it is only natural that they are protected by Gaochang." Datang will not be ungrateful.

After hearing this, Li Er sneered in his heart. Gaochang Kingdom has a small territory, but its ambitions are not small. What kind of protection is it to pay for righteous deeds?Those who don't know think that I, Datang, have been greatly favored by you.

In the past few years, Gaochang has been a bit too much. Along the way, he constantly oppressed and exploited the merchants who went west from Tang Dynasty. The tax was several times that of other places. For money, Gaochang would send soldiers pretending to be robbers to kill people and steal goods directly, which shows its viciousness.

Now say escort?Isn't that the thief shouting "Stop the thief?"

In Li Er's view, it is better to say it is escort than escort, or threat. Isn't this a blatant attempt to hold the Datang businessman in his hands?How daring, Tang Dynasty destroyed Tubo, you Gaochang didn't know how to bow your head and obey your ears, but became more and more rampant?

Fang Xuanling smiled lightly, then took the conversation and said: "In my opinion, it's just a small matter of commerce, and it's not worth the trouble of Gaochang Guoxing. If the king of Gaochang really wants to show his sincerity, why don't we renegotiate the tax for commerce. I heard that the taxes for merchants in the Western Regions are not the same, and this matter may require a real discussion between the two countries."

Deputy envoy Gaochang introduced in a low voice that this is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Prince Gaochang waved his hand and said: "This is a trivial matter. I will advise my father to unify the taxes collected in various places. We have nothing to do with other countries, but Gaochang will never have tax insufficiency." One situation."

Um?Doesn't this kid know how to govern the country?Or are you deliberately playing with me haha?I said to renegotiate tariffs, but you go around saying that you collect taxes uniformly?Fang Xuanling was slightly dissatisfied, and was about to speak again, when a small figure flashed out from behind the Yizheng Hall, trotting all the way towards Emperor Li Er.

"Grandpa, when will you finish your work? You agreed to play chess with me today. I really don't want to play with my sister Sizi anymore. She will cry next time, so stupid."

It turned out that Xiao Xuanxuan couldn't stay in the harem anymore, so she slipped into the Palace of Political Affairs by herself while the maid was not paying attention.

Li Er smiled and picked up his granddaughter, put it on his lap and said in a doting tone: "Good boy, grandpa has guests here, go and play with Sizi for a while, and I will play chess with you when the guests leave, okay?" good?"

Xiao Xuanxuan shook her head and pouted her lips, "No, sister Sizi is too stupid. I taught her how to play chess, but she couldn't win even once. It was fine at first, but every time she loses in the past two days, she loses a lot of money." I have to wipe my tears and cry once, as if I was bullying her, so I don't want to play chess with her again."

Li Er was stunned, thinking that this granddaughter came here because she lacked a playmate, but he didn't expect that it would be impossible for him to ask his son to accompany her?Hearing the situation she said, Li Er's heart was lifted. He still doesn't know how his little daughter Sizi was beaten by this child playing chess, so don't leave any shadows.

Sizi, this girl is really stubborn, but she won't be unable to talk about it, and she just stayed with her for these days?

Li Er doesn't know, Sizi has always been pure and obedient, and she likes to play with Xuanxuan the most. Firstly, she is reluctant to give up, and secondly, children have a fluke mentality, thinking that they might win one time, how does she know, Xuanxuan The chess records that Xuan has memorized are too numerous to count, and she lost at the starting line.

Seeing that the child is not easy to coax, Li Er didn't have the heart to argue with Gao Changguo here, and turned to the two envoys and said, "I still have private matters to deal with, so let's put down other matters first and discuss them another day, Fang Ai Qing, send the two of you to Honglu Temple for me."

Deputy envoy Gaochang was about to salute and retreat, but Prince Gaochang stood up in dissatisfaction and said, "Is the so-called private matter of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty just to play chess and games with this yellow-mouthed boy? Could it be that he deliberately humiliated me by belittling me Gaochang so rudely?" wait?"

Um?Emperor Li Er's face turned cold, and he was about to explode, but there was someone faster than him, and Xiao Xuanxuan had already yelled: "Who are you? Where did the bad guys come from, dare to say that about my grandfather?"

Xiao Xuanxuan couldn't bear to see someone questioning her grandfather with reprimands in her words.

The anger that Li Er had accumulated was dissipated by his granddaughter's words, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Hmph, where did the yellow-haired girl come from? How dare you yell at this prince?

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is this the way of hospitality in your country?Am I that ridiculous?You let a kid talk to us? "Ju Zhi shouted angrily.

Hearing the other party insulting his granddaughter, Li Er became angry again, but Xiao Xuanxuan beat him to the punch again. He simply got down from his grandfather's arms, trotted over, and said dissatisfiedly with his hands on his hips, "Hey, what's wrong with you kid? People are so strange, there are so many strange beads hanging around their necks, just like a bald monk, if you want to be a monk, you have to shave your head, and put on your hair to pretend, you can't see it as a good person.

You are not a puppy who can't understand human language, why can't I talk to you?

This is our home, you guys came to my house and yelled at my grandfather, it is really rude, if you are so rude again, I will let the guard uncle kick you out. "

Facing such a sharp and poisonous tongue of a five-year-old child, it was the first time that Prince Gaochang felt that he was not very good at speaking.

The emperor laughed loudly, "Let's go, my dear grandson, let's leave these two alone. If you don't want to see someone rude, just drive them out. Why bother arguing with him? Let's go, grandpa will play chess with you."

Xiao Xuanxuan turned around obediently and returned to Li Er's arms, muttering dissatisfiedly, "This is because my little Miaomiao is not around. If they were around, they would not dare. Daddy said, if anyone dares to yell at me, they will Let Xiao Miao Miao show him."

Li Er couldn't help laughing, turned around and returned to the apse with his granddaughter in his arms, leaving Gaochang's second emissary standing there dumbfounded, what did the Emperor Datang mean by his last words?

Fang Xuanling joked and said, "Both of you, do you know the way to Honglu Temple? If you know it, go there on your own. If you forget, I can send a soldier at the gate to see you off."

After speaking, he strode out of the Yizheng Hall, laughing secretly in his heart, Gao Changguo?I'm afraid not for a few years.

Chapter 322

In the apse, the emperor Li Er really set up a chessboard and played chess with his granddaughter. At the same time, he also called his youngest daughter Sizi over. The father and daughter played against Xuanxuan, and Sizi kept cheering for his father. , Xiao Xuanxuan glared at the other party with some annoyance, the little girl immediately lost her temper, lowered her head and just stared at the number of her father's chess pieces, and dared not speak any more.

"Hahaha, Xuanxuan is older than Sizi, so you can't bully her, you have to protect Sizi like you just protected grandpa." Li Er comforted her.

Xuanxuan nodded obediently, and asked curiously: "Grandpa, who were those two people just now? It's really strange that they are covered with beads all over their bodies. When they come again, you tell me, and I will take Xiao Miaomiao to teach him a lesson, so that they will be able to teach me a lesson." He will never dare to kill you again."

Li Er smiled wryly: "How dare they attack Grandpa me? Give them two courage."

"No, grandpa is fine. He has never been fierce. If you want to say that mother is the most vicious, she is super fierce." Xuanxuan said puzzled.

"Those two people are from Gaochang in the west. Almost everyone in Gaochang believes in Buddhism, so it's not unusual for this person to have a Buddhist bead around his neck. You have taught them a lesson for grandpa just now. I think they dare not come again." Li Er explained.

After finishing speaking, I remembered something, so I told Xuanxuan: "Whenever you go home, tell your father that Gaochang people bullied you, and let him find a way to help you vent your anger, and help grandpa vent your anger."

This is Li Er wanting to tell Du Shaoqing that Datang is going to attack Gaochang, and see if Du Shaoqing has any good plans. After all, this kid has always liked to make surprise soldiers, so is Goguryeo, and so is Tubo. Maybe there is a way to deal with Gaochang.

"Oh, then let's play chess quickly. If I win this game, grandpa will go home immediately. My father said that I must win ten consecutive chess games in the palace before I can go home. It's almost fast now. Grandpa is The imperial palace is the best chess player, if you win, you should be left alone." Xuanxuan urged excitedly.

oh?Li Er was stunned for a moment, and muttered in his heart, what is Du Shaoqing's idea?Is there a set date for sending children over to play?

But in the end, he didn't have the heart to interrupt his granddaughter's interest. Li Er deliberately gave up a few hands, and Xuanxuan won after a while, and then happily went out to call Xiao Miaomiao home.

The youngest daughter in Li Er's arms, Sizi, burst into tears again, "Wow, the emperor can't beat Sister Xuanxuan, then I'm afraid I will lose for a long, long time, I don't want to play chess with her anymore."

I, Li Er, was stupefied by my daughter's cute words, so I hurriedly comforted her in a warm voice, and lied to my son that Xuanxuan is one year older than you, and you will be able to win when you are one year older. I didn't expect this child to be really letter.

Seeing his granddaughter riding a tiger out of the palace happily, and remembering how the child defended himself in the Yizheng Palace, Li Er was in a good mood, and shouted to Lao Gao behind him: "Go, please Zong Zhengqing, and take the auxiliary machine and the Ministry of Etiquette together." Shang Shu Wang Si is also invited."
