Crown Tang emperor

Most of the courtiers didn't think that Liu Yu would leave a good trade order and seek to go to the frontier to serve, so they subconsciously felt that the reason why he participated in this election was to beautify his too humble starting point and The way of becoming an official.

Liu Yu is now receiving a lot of attention from the times, and he is no longer the little transparent person he used to be, and his details are naturally revealed.He was originally a criminal slave in the head of Guizhou, but in just a few years, he skyrocketed and became an important member of the southern province.

Such a bizarre life experience and promotion speed only appeared during the special period of the Tang family's founding at the beginning of the country and the Wu Zhou Dynasty Tang Dynasty. Even the Yasukuni period did not have such a clear special case.Therefore, Shiliu's senses towards Liu Yu are also quite complicated, including envy and jealousy.

But now seeing Liu Yu taking part in the system exam and being selected, the already complicated senses suddenly turned into deep disgust.I just think this guy is really annoying. He has already enjoyed the benefits, but he still wants to pursue vanity, participate in the system, and squeeze out opportunities that should be lower-level officials and unresolved brown scholars, just to beautify his background.

There are not a few courtiers who have such thoughts, and when they look at Liu Yu, the disgust in their eyes is not concealed.If it wasn't for the restriction of Chaoyi's rules, someone might have directly reprimanded him face to face.

But even if many courtiers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, they still had hard bones after all.Right Taichung Cheng Wang Qiuli was already standing in the court class, but after seeing Liu Yuzhi's success in the exam, his face suddenly changed, and then he left the court class and went straight to the Xiantai official office.

When Wang Qiuli came back again, he was no longer wearing ordinary court clothes, but changed into red clothes and crowns.

Seeing this scene, the ministers exchanged glances, knowing that there was another good show to watch this morning, and frequently looked at Prime Minister Zhang Renyuan who stood in the front row.

Yushitai is in charge of the pickets. Although Liu Yu is in a good position today, if he wants to impeach him, he doesn't need the chief of Yushitai to come forward at all. The supervisory censors below will do it.But now that Wang Qiuli had directly changed into the serious overalls of Zhu Yi Fa Guan, it meant that the minister was going to be impeached, and the only one who was qualified was Zhang Renyuan, who was the chief examiner of the election.

Hundreds of courtiers are waiting to participate in the court meeting. If the court ceremony is the most rigorous, Zhang Renyuan is the first to be recommended.He stands in the middle of the class, holds a wat in one hand, and tilts the other hand in his hand. His clothes are straight, and he stands straight, without squinting, looking straight ahead.This is not only the case with the Great Dynasty, but also the Chang Dynasty, like a statue, waiting for the saint to come to the hall for more than half an hour, he can stand still like this.

Zhang Ren wished to have such a well-groomed appearance, which naturally put a lot of pressure on people, especially the prime ministers in the same class, because Zhang Ren was willing to make a comparison, they did not dare to lose their composure in front of the officials.

It is said that the reason why Lou Shide, who is also the prime minister, complained of illness and refused to go to court was because he couldn't bear Zhang Renyuan's oppression with such a majestic appearance.

Although the courtiers whispered and whispered, Zhang Ren wished he didn't know about it, because he didn't look left and right at all.But the other prime ministers couldn't do Zhang Renyuan's undivided attention. Wang Qiuli went and returned, which caused a lot of discussion, and some prime ministers couldn't help but look back. After seeing it, they naturally understood the meaning, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Renyuan. .

Since Zhang Renyuan entered the political affairs hall, the prime ministers have also suffered a lot because of this.Although no one overwhelms anyone in terms of power, Zhang Ren would like to describe his behavior as extremely upright, and it still bothers people to some extent, and it is inevitable that he feels ashamed.But this guy abides by the rules, like a prime minister who arrives on time every time he eats, and even deprives him of the little fun in his work, which is really resentful.

Seeing that Wang Qiuli and Zhu Yi were about to impeach Zhang Renyuan, the prime ministers gloated a little and couldn't help but exchanged glances. Liu Youqiu and others frequently gave Yao Yuanchong winks, signaling Yao Yuanchong to tell Zhang Renyuan about it. Let's see if Zhang Renyuan will lose his composure.

Yao Yuanchong was more or less curious, and under the instigation of his colleagues' eyes, he took a small step back and approached Zhang Renyuan with a low cough, but seeing that Zhang Renyuan's body was only slightly turned to the side and back, he recovered immediately With a straight posture, as for the eyes that are always looking straight ahead, Yao Yuanchong is simply ignored.

Seeing that the other party was so defiant, Yao Yuanchong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He turned his head and glanced at Liu Youqiu and the others angrily, and then stepped back to his position, no longer asking for trouble.

After a little episode, the middle official announced that the saint was coming to court, so all the officials went to the hall to welcome the saint.

Li Tong was in a bit of a bad mood this morning, not because he couldn't hold back and drank deer blood last night, but after discussing with Liu Yu, he asked everyone in the Jiying Hall to sort out the relevant books and materials kept by the various divisions Fan, Fan didn't fall asleep until late at night, so I woke up a little late this morning.

Changchao has the nature of a morning meeting. Although it is impossible to have the scene of "playing when there is something to do and leaving when there is nothing to do" in the play, it generally has the same taste. , announce some personnel rules, and then you can disperse.As for the real national affairs, they were mainly discussed behind closed doors by the emperor, the ministers of the political affairs hall, and the chiefs of the various divisions, and they were rarely discussed in public at the court meeting.

However, the officials of Yushitai are not restricted by this. They really want to impeach people, and they don't need to care about whether it is a big court or a small court, a banquet or a ceremony.Even if he has retired, he can follow the emperor into the inner palace to continue impeachment.As for impeaching the ministers to wear special work clothes, in addition to showing respect for the court's status, it is also a warning to the ministers to be careful, I am going to mess with you.

The Zhuyi Faguan was already bright and eye-catching, Li Tong casually looked down, and immediately found Wang Qiuli, he couldn't help being refreshed, and began to think about which minister would lose face today.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, Yao Yuanchong, the Minister of Zhongshu, went out to play first, and published all the imperial edicts drafted by the Zhongshu Ministry yesterday.As for the personnel involved in the document, if you are not in the court, you can skip it for the time being. If you are in the palace, you have to go out together to show that you have received the relevant edict order.

There were not many major events today, and Yao Yuanchong quickly thought about matters related to the Jingbian Fuyuan imperial examination system. As the chief examiner, Zhang Renyuan and the three candidates each went to work and obeyed orders and thanked him.

But before these people had time to open their mouths, Yushi Zhongcheng Wang Qiuli shouted in the class: "I have something to do!"

Hearing Wang Qiuli's voice, Li Tong immediately understood, and raised his hand to signal Wang Qiuli to speak out.

"The ones played by the ministers are the imperial servants, Zhang Renyuan, the political officer of Pingzhang under Tongzhong Shumen, and Liu Yu, the city's trade order..."

After Wang Qiuli came out of class, there was a wave of plausible impeachment. The righteousness was nothing more than Zhang Ren's willingness to be the chief examiner of the system, but the selection of talents was negligent.As for Liu Yu, the charges are even simpler, that is, breaking the ceremony and greedy for favor.

Hearing Wang Qiuli's speech, Li Tong was amused.He also had such dissatisfaction and doubts before, but he was relieved after listening to Liu Yu Daoming, so he didn't think so.

But he didn't think that Wang Qiuli was picking faults, what Yu Shi did was picking the bones in the egg, not to mention that this matter did indeed reveal a strange thing at first glance.

After being impeached, Zhang Renyuan and Liu Yu also bowed down in the hall. Liu Yu was not without grievances and apprehensions, and wanted to speak up to defend himself, but the prime minister impeached by his colleagues hadn't spoken yet, so naturally it was not his turn to speak, so he could only Force yourself to hold back.

After Wang Qiuli finished speaking, Zhang Renyuan opened his mouth and said: "The impeachment of Zhongcheng is not acceptable to the pardoner. This time the imperial court opened an imperial examination, and the result is unlimited rank. Although Liu Yu was listed in the imperial class, he did not pass the exam. It does not violate the rules. As for the selection of him, it is not decided by the minister alone, and all the ministers who review the case can be cited as evidence. The selection of this case is based on talents, and the grace is bestowed by the saints."

After Zhang Renyuan finished his self-defense, Liu Yu opened his mouth again. As for his speech, he couldn't be as frank as he was when he talked with the saint.

Hearing the statements of the two, Wang Qiuli then asked Yushitai to review Liu Yu's examination paper.After pondering for a while, Li Tong said that this matter needs to be carried out in the Jiying Pavilion, because the content involved in Liu Yu's scroll will become one of the long-term strategies of the court's border affairs management if nothing else happens, and it is naturally impossible to publicize it , Make everyone know.

Hearing the sage's statement, not only the king begged for courtesy, but even the other courtiers who watched the excitement in the hall were shocked. It was really unexpected that Liu Yu's exam paper could get so much attention from the sage, and at the same time, the eyes looking at Liu Yu changed. Be serious.

If Liu Yu can really be used by his side because of this exam-taking move, then who will take over the city's trade order will naturally become a hot spot of concern for the government and the public.

Wang Qiuli knew that this impeachment might come back in vain, but he didn't feel any disappointment. He was in his position and discussed the matter, as long as he figured out that there was no need to hide any evil, there was no need to continue entanglement.Of course, the final conclusion can only be made after reading Liu Yu's policy article.

Although this impeachment did not create any big scenes and excitement, it did lead to the question of the succession of the popular position of the Municipal Trade Order. The ministers did not think that today's court would be anticlimactic.After retiring from the court, they gathered around Liu Yu one after another, wanting to inquire about some inside stories.

When the ministers of the foreign dynasty were still entangled with Liu Yu, the Bazi Song recommended by him had already been led to the Jiying Hall on the west side of the Xuanzheng Hall.Song Bazi used to be a wealthy businessman in the middle of Sichuan, he spent millions of dollars without changing his face, and after entering the court for several years, he had been in and out of the country, and now he was summoned by the saint again, and he was very excited.

After retiring from the imperial court, Li Tong stayed in the Xuanzheng Hall for a short while, summoned Xiao Song and Tian Renwan, and listened to them state their views on border affairs face to face, and then transferred to Jiying Hall.

"Chenshi Maocheng, Song Bazi, kowtow to the saint."

After being summoned by the middle official, Song Bazi suppressed his excitement and entered the hall to greet him.

"Song Cheng excused himself from the ceremony. The reason for the summoning today must have been conveyed by the official order. All the calculations can be made directly."

After Li Tong sat down, he spoke directly.

Song Bazi can be regarded as an outlier among the courtiers.He was able to enter the court as an official, and the price he paid was much more expensive than others.Donating millions of dollars of family wealth back then can be said to have greatly alleviated the financial distress of the newly established Xingtai. Li Tong still has a deep memory of this.

It's just that he has so many things to do every day, it's hard to keep a long-term focus on someone or something.Even meeting with Song Bazi today took a little time, and in the afternoon, he would meet with the envoy sent by Tubo to the Tang Dynasty again to discuss the matter of border affairs and Queen Xikang's formal entry into the palace.

Song Bazi stopped talking nonsense after hearing the words, and took out a volume of documents from his side and presented them, and explained respectfully: "Yesterday Liu Ling conveyed the sacred meaning at the office, and after I returned home, I carefully sorted out my clumsy plans. The words are not exhaustive, so write it down on paper, and I respectfully invite you to read it."

Li Tong raised his hand to take over the memorabilia from the Zhongguan's special trip, and opened it to skim it first, but after a rough glance, his expression became more formal, and he turned back to read it carefully, and stopped from time to time to smack carefully For a certain word, without knowing it, nearly half an hour has passed.

During this process, Song Bazi was also full of apprehension, worried that his strategy would not be appreciated by the sage, and thus he would miss this opportunity to advance in his official career.

Finally, Li Tong took a closer look at Song Bazi's memorial, then looked up at Song Bazi again, and asked: "The strategies and strategies in Song Cheng's book are all obtained from your own experience. Didn't you also take the wisdom of others?"

After hearing the words, Bazi Song quickly said: "Father Ni said that if three people walk together, there must be my teacher. I also take the world as my teacher, and I don't dare to rely on my own wisdom. But the summary is indeed written by me alone. .”

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words, did not hide his admiration for Song Bazi, raised his hand and said: "I have read the book, Song Cheng will give a brief overview."

"The Department of Market and Trade is in charge of business, but what business covers is the harmony of yin and yang, and the complementarity of surplus and deficiency. Fang's miscellaneous affairs are collected by this department, so the talent is poor and it will be difficult to support it for a long time. According to the plan of the minister, now the Department of Market and Trade needs to set up four cases, which are responsible for the delivery of goods, the storage of goods, and the transportation of goods. , what the goods are used for.”

Seeing that the sage didn't despise his book offering, Bazi Song heaved a sigh of relief, and then continued: "Created by leading the soil and made by hundreds of craftsmen, everything in the world can be inhabited by goods. Those who are pervasive, or who do not sell on the road, must also sell as households. Wherever there is a surplus or shortage, there must be buying and selling. However, the temptation of profit is also sufficient to despise the king's law and the power of violating ethics. Therefore, buying and selling must be done in City, the noble and the humble must be brought to justice..."

Hearing what Song Bazi said, Li Tong became happy again.He had just seen how Zhang Renyuan changed his past after entering the court yesterday, and today he heard Song Bazi's statement that he must strictly control business after he became an official.

So this fortress is often breached from the inside.Zhang Renyuan, the second-five son of the border ministers, advocated strict restrictions on the conscript power of the frontier generals, while Song Bazi, the second-five son of the merchants, advocated that transactions must be subject to laws, and the most ruthless knives are all his own people!

"What is born of mountains and lakes, and what is produced by hundreds of craftsmen, is all over the world. There are many kinds of things. If you want to fully control them, it is absolutely impossible for human beings to do it. It is necessary to follow the big desires, food, clothing, housing and transportation, each set up for resale, and salt rice. Silk cloth, lacquer, tea, copper and iron, in addition to the rent adjustment, there is also a room for discussion. This is not to compete with the people for profit, but to consume in quantity and produce. If there is a shortage of one thing, thousands of families lose their strength..."

Song Bazi's plan is grand, and it is not limited to the original business related of the Department of Marketing and Trade, but covers the entire business environment of the world.To be more precise, his theory also has a proper term called planned economy.Of course, Song Bazi's set of theories is still relatively crude and primitive, but the taste and basic logic are very correct.

In fact, the taxation system of the Tang Dynasty was originally a primary state of the planned economy. Through the collection of goods, households all over the world were concentrated in the production of several things.At the same time, the country holds a large number of artisan resources, which are used every year to produce various military and daily products.

As for Song Bazi, on this basis, through the needs of commerce and trade, he proposed a systematic arrangement of the production, storage, transportation and consumption of goods.This is no longer limited to commerce and trade in a narrow sense, but to build a complete business management system throughout the world through the power of the imperial court.

Li Tong also didn't expect that there would be two talents, Wolong and Fengchu, in a marketing department he set up to manage the increasingly prosperous business.Of course, no matter Liu Yu or Song Bazi, the ideas they put forward are not lacking in idealistic fantasies.

Liu Yu wants to control the Bian Hu as a registered household through animal husbandry and border trade. First of all, biotechnology cannot achieve this. Even if it is implemented, the effect will definitely not be as good as imagined. It is impossible to completely control the surrounding area. Zhuhu's production environment.

As for Song Bazi's vision of making the business management system nearly equal to the original administrative structure, it is also far beyond the times. Although the current business environment has developed, it has definitely not surpassed agriculture, the lifeblood of the dynasty. .

But even if these ideas are a bit out of touch with reality, the enthusiasm contained in them and the imagination of the world based on their own experience are still shining.The reason why Datang can become the highlight of feudal society is not only because of the magnificence of gold and iron horses, but also because of the vastness of people's hearts and passion for the world.

Li Tong is more or less a key politician in later generations, and he dares to insert a few words about the pros and cons of various systems.But when you really rule the world, you can understand the profound truth that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Any slightest reform in the world will result in the well-being of tens of millions of people.

These people are all his subjects, not just numbers during the government administration, so after he truly became a country, he seldom carried out large-scale institutional reforms rashly.It's not that he has become timid, but because he has become the first person responsible for this empire.

He is no longer keen on making unauthorized alterations based on his knowledge of the system. Instead, he likes to dig out the bright spots in the thoughts of people in this era. Thinking is still rooted in this era.

In fact, without making an analogy with the system forms of later generations, the series of propositions of Song Bazi also have shadows to follow in this era, that is, a series of financial reforms presided over by Liu Yan in the middle Tang Dynasty.It's just that Bazi Song wants to be more radical, and the details are not as detailed as Liu Yan's reforms.

For a while, Li Tong didn't even want to arrange Song Bazi as Liu Yu's successor in the Marketing Department.He even planned to transfer Song Bazi to the household department and even to the capital of Shangshu, so that he could gain a more grand vision, so as to make up for his lack of detail construction.

But at the moment, the Department of Marketing and Trade really needs someone who is familiar with the operation of the agency to take over, to define the functions and ensure normal operation.

So Li Tong put aside the idea of ​​transferring Song Bazi to the capital province for the time being, and continued to discuss the next structural changes of the City and Trade Department with others in detail. Before he knew it, it was getting late, and when the palace people lit up the lights in the palace, Li Tongcai suddenly felt hungry and felt like he had forgotten something, but since he couldn't remember it for a while, it didn't matter.

"Song Qing will stay in the confinement for a light meal. Tomorrow, I will listen to the edict and take charge of the government affairs. All the discussions must be implemented step by step, so as not to waste this effort."

Li Tong raised the case, looked at Song Bazi and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Song Bazi was also very pleasantly surprised. He hurriedly thanked Xie En again, and then got up to dance, but his stomach growled while dancing, obviously he was also very hungry.

Chapter 0899 juvenile Huaichun, so far difficult

When the sage and Song Bazi were discussing state affairs in the Ying Pavilion, the envoy from Tubo had already sat in the imperial city for a long time.But the officials of Datang were busy in their own way, so no one paid any attention to them.

Of course, it's not completely unnoticed. Outside the hall where they stayed, there was an unattractive old Hu who kept standing at a distance. Occasionally, he would sit for a while when he got tired of standing, but his eyes were always on the hall. Inside.Those eyes full of vigilance and scrutiny naturally made people feel uncomfortable, but when they asked questions, the other party didn't say a word, which made people feel helpless and even more irritable.

This kind of waiting lasted from day to night, and even the officials of the Tang Dynasty had already dispersed, but no one came to introduce the promised face saint, only the old Hu outside the hall, who was always wandering outside. stared at them.

Finally, while the envoys from the Fan Kingdom waited anxiously, a senior official came in.It's a pity that the news brought by the other party was not that the sage of the Tang Dynasty finally found time to meet them, but told them that the sage had no time to come to see them today, and they returned to the Sifang Hall for a temporary stay. rule.

"The Tang Kingdom is a dignified and large country in the universe. What kind of etiquette is it to welcome guests like this?"

After waiting for a long time, not only did he fail to meet the sage of the Tang Kingdom, he was watched all the way. No matter how well-mannered he was, he couldn't accept it for a while, so the envoy of the Fan Kingdom couldn't help but angrily said: "Even though the Emperor Tang has no time to summon us today, we waited for the envoy Huai Cheng to come here. We wanted to talk about big plans, and we had no evil intentions to hide. The officials outside the hall looked like gangrene, and they couldn't go away for a long time, which made people feel confused. Chilling..."

After the Zhongguan heard this, he looked out and saw the courtier Ma Fang who was looking up at the moon. He couldn't help but smile, and then he turned around, looked at the envoys of the various countries with a smile and said, "Fan guest!" Is it possible that there is some misunderstanding in making such an angry statement? Fang Xia’s residence is where the Tang Dynasty is located, and it is natural to be heavily guarded. Not to mention foreign visitors, even the officials must write orders to go in and out. Son of Heaven Yuanju is in an unusual situation. It is reasonable to examine it. Don’t say that my lord Tang, even if you are a Tutu king, can go in and out without demonstrators? As for the frequent visits of officials outside the court, it is only strange. After all, it is common to see that they are all dressed in the same style, and it is inevitable that a foreigner will attract attention when he enters and exits the realm of the hub..."

Zhongguan's response is quite reasonable.But looking at the old Hu who was stalking outside the court, I always feel that it is not convincing.Other people rarely see more strange, but it is also human nature.But doesn't that old Hu know what he looks like when he was born?It is not convincing to say that he is curious about the appearance of the Tibetans.

However, the envoy made a statement on this, mainly to vent the depression in his heart that he had waited for a day and could not be summoned. Even if he continued to entangle with this, it would be difficult to gain anything.

Therefore, after listening to the middle official's answer, the envoy of the Fan Kingdom did not continue this topic, but frowned and said: "May I ask the waiter, when will the Emperor Tang be free to meet? Our lord's order is very urgent. The purpose of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty is also to hope that the friendship with the Tang State will last forever and that there will be fewer side conflicts. If the Tang State has no intention of discussing the border situation in detail, our envoys do not need to stay here to disturb. There is no need to beg each other!"

"The sage is either busy or leisurely, and the servants don't dare to ask. I can only convey this intention. As for when we will see it, please wait for the news."

Although the tone of the envoy had become rather impolite, the middle official still replied with a smile, and then raised his hand to indicate that several envoys could follow the officials out of the palace to the Sifang Pavilion.

After seeing this situation, several Tibetan envoys could only walk out, although they felt quite dissatisfied.

Despite the toughness of his words, he sent envoys to Tang Dynasty twice in a very short period of time, which shows that Tubo is indeed in a passive position in the relationship between Tang and Tibet.

The Tubo envoys have been in Beijing for a few days, and they are waiting to see you in the palace today. The relevant officials of the Tang Dynasty notified in advance, but they still sat on the bench for a whole day, and they were stared at for so long. Naturally, the Tubo envoys were full of resentment.

So after returning to the residence of the Sifang Pavilion, several Tubo envoys discussed in Tibetan: "The Tang State treats guests with arrogance. It can be seen that there is no sincerity in discussing border affairs. Besides, they got involved with the Gar's family. I'm afraid they already have some evil plan in their hearts. It's futile to enter the Tang Dynasty. It's better to stay in the country, rectify the troops, and recover the Eastern Region first. , collect the supplies there, and then attack the Gar family who is entrenched in Aqin..."

Although a group of people talked a lot, it was not them who really talked about this trip, but the envoy who was about 30 years old and in his prime.

Although this envoy is not very old, his status in the Tubo Kingdom is not low. He is one of the four guard generals in the royal area, and his full name is Xinuoluo Gonglu.His own status in the Tubo Kingdom is already good, but when it comes to his family background, it is even more astonishing. His father, Kili Xu Shangjian, is the nominal deputy of Tubo Xiaolun and Dalun Dongzan, and his family is the only one in Tubo now. Another wealthy family besides the Gar family, Webster.

Although Wei Gonglu is not very old, since he was selected as the official envoy to the Tang State this time, he is also a mature and prudent person. After hearing the complaints from everyone, he just frowned and said: "This time the envoy to the Tang State is a middle school. Whether Zanpu and the other ministers made a joint decision is right or wrong. It is not up to us envoys to discuss it. Since Guozhong was sent to the Tang Dynasty, it is our duty to do this mission well. As for the rest, we will report it after returning to the country. Let’s talk in detail, don’t say too much right now!”

"But now the sages of the Tang Kingdom don't even meet us, and their malice towards our country is clearly visible. If they stay here again, I'm afraid they won't be able to..."

When other people heard Wei Gonglu's words, they didn't dare to complain anymore, but some people couldn't help but said worriedly.

"If the Tang State didn't discuss the needs of border affairs, then there would be no need to welcome us into its capital at all. As for the failure to call us this time, it must be that the lord of the country is showing off his dignity and wanting to overwhelm others, so as to force us to return to the capital. We were too timid to speak out in the following talks. This small talk just shows that the Tang State lacks momentum, as long as we can keep our lives, the Tang State will not dare to be too aggressive!"

Wei Gonglu continued: "Besides, the attitude of the Tang State is not enough to affect our country's plans. Now entering the Tang Dynasty is more to intimidate the Gar family. As long as we stay in the capital of Tang State for a day, the Gar family will be suspicious. This will be of great benefit to the country’s plans to raise funds!”

Speaking of this, Wei Gonglu paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for the current coldness in the court of the Tang Dynasty, it is just a small trouble. Besides, there is still a domestic affairs in the Tang Dynasty that cannot be bypassed by our country, that is Princess Chizun serving her. The matter of the lord. Tomorrow, I will come to the door with a generous gift and ask Princess Chizun to summon me, and I can also take the opportunity to inquire about more information..."

"Princess Chizun? The traitorous maidservant of the Chen family has treasoned and fled the country before. Not long ago, she expelled our envoys even more forcefully. She was rejected several times before to see us, not to mention whether she will see us. Even if she does, she will willing to help?"

After someone heard this, they couldn't help saying angrily.

After hearing the words, Wei Gonglu's face darkened suddenly, and he said angrily: "Princess Chizun is a noble person bestowed by the golden book of the royal family, how can gossip be humiliating! If our envoys are not respectful enough to the king's orders, foreign enemies will How did you meet Wei Ling Xuanda, who respects our country? If anyone dares to speak disrespectfully to Princess Chizun in front of me, don't blame me for being rude to him!"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent and looked at each other with a little helplessness in their eyes.

Wei Gonglu was also in a bad mood at the moment, he didn't want to continue talking, he waved his hand to disperse the crowd, but he just told him to continue asking to see Princess Chizun.

On the second day, the Tubo envoys were waiting boredly for news in the Sifang Pavilion, and finally another envoy arrived, conveying that the Queen of Xikang was willing to meet them.

After hearing the message from the official envoy, Wei Gonglu was so excited that he turned his head and went back to his residence to wash and change his clothes before heading to Xikang King's residence.When the other envoys saw this scene, they couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed, and said angrily: "Although Ye Ali, a demon girl, has already left the country, she still doesn't know how long she will harm our country! Boy Webster I'm afraid it's not as simple as state affairs..."

Ye Ali of the Chen family was a man of great influence in the Tubo Kingdom in his early years, not only because he was the heir to one of the twelve ancient states, but also because his fame spread far and wide, making many rich and powerful children of Tubo fall in love with him. Dreaming about, wanting to kiss Fangze.

Even Gongren, the first son of Garqinling, the most powerful family in Tubo, has an infatuated love for Ye Ali, hoping to establish a good relationship.And Wei Gonglu, who was born in the eastern region of Webster's, was also one of Ye Ali's many fans at the time. Perhaps even the purpose of begging to enter the Tang Dynasty this time was not pure. After entering the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he kept asking When Ye Ali was interviewed, any fool could see his true thoughts.

Not to mention everyone's complaints and complaints, Wei Gonglu came out soon after entering the dormitory. He had already changed into a splendid round-neck gown that was worn by Tang people, and even the beard under his chin was carefully braided into small braids. The room is even more fragrant, and I am afraid that it came out after a few rolls in the spices.

"You stay in this building, and you are not allowed to go out without my order!"

After walking out of the room, Wei Gonglu first gave strict orders to the entourage, and then looked at Tang Guo's envoy and put on a smile: "There is an envoy waiting for you, this will work!"

The Xikang King's Mansion is already quite eye-catching in Beijing. Recently, because the Queen of Xikang is about to officially enter the palace, Hefang is crowded with visitors.If you just look at the scene, it even far surpasses the Hongnong Yang family who is also favored by the saint.

Wei Gonglu followed the official envoy on horseback into the workshop, after seeing this scene, his heart was quite complicated.Some small thoughts in his heart, those entourages in the country did not guess wrong.

Which teenager doesn't have spring?Chen's Ye Ali was in the Tubo Kingdom in the early years, and indeed made a group of Tubo dignitaries fascinated by him, and Wei Gonglu was no exception.He loves her beauty, loves her power, and loves the woman's tenacious persistence in adversity.

Although Ye Ali's treasonous behavior in the early years hurt the hearts of the people in the country, many Shiliu teenagers turned from admiration to resentment for him, and even gritted their teeth and spoke abusive words.But Wei Gonglu was born in the first-class powerful family in Tubo, so he naturally knew what kind of difficulties and pressure Ye Ali had endured in the middle school in the early years, and also understood what kind of desperate situation Ye Ali was in to make such a choice, in his heart Have a sympathy and regret.

But those people thought that he was begging to see Ye Ali only because of a personal relationship that he couldn't ask for, so they underestimated him a bit.If he was ten years younger, with the love he had for Ye Ali at that time, Wei Gonglu felt that he might even abandon everything he had in the country and follow Ye Ali to go abroad.

But now, as a close minister of Zanpu and an outstanding representative of the younger generation in Tubo, what he thinks, thinks, says and does is only for a mere personal relationship.He begged for a meeting, and indeed he had the idea of ​​ending the bitter love in his youth, but other than that, he hoped to achieve some effects that could not be achieved in formal diplomatic occasions through Ye Ali.

The Tang State is definitely a formidable opponent, a strategic enemy that Tubo cannot bypass as long as it seeks to expand abroad. This is one of the few Tubo dignitaries who can reach a consensus.Under the condition of ensuring the stability of Tubo, the confrontation with Tang is destined to be a long strategic process, and it is not just a matter of short-term victory or defeat.

But in this confrontational relationship, even during Songtsan Gampo's most powerful period, Tubo still could not gain the upper hand.Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty entered Tibet, which still had a great impact on the situation in Tubo itself, and set off a trend of admiration for Tang style, and Dalun Qinling is one of the most eye-catching ones.
