Great Tang Broom Star: Chapter 412 Chang\'an\'s heart, walk the sky

  Chapter 412 Chang'an's heart, walk the sky

  When the Baekje envoys saw Chang'an City, they couldn't help praising: "Such a majestic city is indeed a central country."

  The majestic Chang'an City is dazzling, but the attendant is a little worried, "It depends on the attitude of the Tang people. If they are still indifferent, then this trip will be in vain."

  The envoy nodded, and said with a firm gaze: "Come here for nothing, you have to try. Last time, the envoy from the Tang Dynasty said that Chang'an will welcome friends from Baekje with open arms. Let's try today."

  Arrived at the gate of the city, the accompanying Tang officials negotiated a few words, but the sergeant guarding the gate said: "Please wait in the shed outside the city."

What does it mean?

  There is a pergola outside the city, where those who travel and those who see off will gather here, drink some wine, write a few poems, and then bid farewell.

   But this is a mission!

  Why wait outside?

  The envoy was secretly angry, and the followers had already begun to scold him.

   "This kind of humiliation, why are we here? Go back."

  The envoy shook his head, "It's all in Chang'an, at least I handed over the documents, and then I will go back."

  As an envoy, naturally you cannot be impulsive, and you must fully consider the situation of all parties.

  The news has been reported to Honglu Temple.

   "Shaoqing, the Baekje envoys are here. According to the last explanation, they have been asked to wait outside the city."

   Honglu Temple Shaoqing Zhu Tao got up, "You don't have to say, I know."

  He then rushed to the palace to seek an audience.

   "Your Majesty, the Baekje envoy is here."

  Li Zhi was taken aback, "Baekje envoy... the two ends of Silla's first mouse, Baekje..."

  Zhu Tao said with piercing eyes: "Your Majesty, Datang must let Baekje know that Silla is not an ally of Datang."

  What kind of ally? After Jia Pingan returned from his mission last time, Zhu Tao asserted that the Silla people were not authentic.

   Winning Baekje in this way can also form a check.

   "Your Majesty, Datang cannot be regarded as a fool by the Silla people!"

   These words obviously stabbed Li Zhi's lungs, his expression was indifferent, "Come out to Honglu Temple to welcome you."

   The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple came out to welcome, this is the treatment for welcoming friends.

  Later, Zhu Tao led a group of officials with a guard of honor, and left the imperial city mightily.

  Outside Chang'an City, the Baekje envoy had already drank three cups of tea, and was so greasy that he wanted to eat dry pancakes.

   "What does Datang mean by this?"

  He couldn't help asking the accompanying Datang officials.

   "This...should be a report."

   Where did these local officials know about Datang's foreign policy changes, they all felt that they were deliberately negligent.

  Deliberate negligence is also a diplomatic language, letting you know Datang's attitude, either bow your head, or just come and go.

The envoy thought of the country's ardent expectations for his trip, and couldn't help crying: "I came here with sincerity, but... the last time the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, that Uncle Wuyang said that Chang'an would open his arms to welcome the people from the Tang Dynasty. A friend of Baekje. I didn't see my arms, but I got hit on the ear."

  The followers all had sullen faces and didn't even drink tea.

"somebody is coming."

   There was a commotion in the city gate, and then the guard of honor came out.

   "Which traveler is this?"

  The officials stood up in unison.

  Zhu Tao then came out, he said with a straight face, "Where is the Baekje envoy?"

  The accompanying Tang officials hurried over, "Zhu Shaoqing, this is the Baekje envoy."

  The Baekje envoy was already in a daze at the moment.

  He originally thought that Datang was going to let him and his party hang out, but he didn't expect that the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple would come. This...

   Isn't it welcome?

   But as a diplomat, he knew that even the envoy of Silla, an ally, came to Datang without such treatment.

   What's more, Baekje?

   And it turned out to be the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. Unless this kind of person is an important person visiting, such as a certain khan or a certain king, otherwise you should not expect him to go out of the city to greet him.

  He was very upset, happy, but not sure.

  Zhu Tao turned his eyes, looked at the envoy, and said kindly: "Your envoy has worked hard all the way."

  In an instant, all the aggrieved and depressed dissipated, and the messenger couldn't help crying, "Datang... really welcomed Baekje with open arms."

  …

   "The Baekje envoy is here."

A small official came to Honglu Temple and brought Zhu Tao's words, "Zhu Shaoqing said that the envoy was very moved, and said repeatedly that Uncle Wuyang's words were true, and that Tang's enthusiasm made him feel at home. Let Baekje know Datang's kindness."

  This is half done!

  Jia Ping'an was overjoyed and hurried to find Zhu Tao.

   "Zhu Shaoqing, does the Baekje envoy have any requests?"

  When you go on a mission, you usually report on your own recent situation, as well as disputes with neighboring countries. Then Datang needs to make a statement, such as supporting Silla, then it will warn Baekje to do it for itself.

   This is what diplomacy is about.

   There is another kind of request.

  Zhu Tao said with a smile: "The Baekje envoy even spoke incoherently, saying that Silla frequently harassed the border, and that Jin Yuxin often led troops to roar past. If he was not careful, he would lead troops to invade."

Silla!

   "Silla still wants to defeat Baekje." Jia Ping'an said firmly, "I met Jin Chunqiu last time. He is deep and ambitious, not mediocre."

"The old man knows, you don't need to say it." Zhu Tao pondered for a while, "Jin Chunqiu succeeded to the throne, since he is an ambitious person... His first priority is to subdue all the forces in the country. Before that, he dared not go to war. Otherwise, the foundation will not be solid, and once the battle is defeated, there will be opposition from all over the Silla Kingdom."

  Jia Pingan: "..."

  This Zhu Shaoqing who always likes to interrupt others and say "you don't have to say, I know", has such sharp eyesight?

   Silla and Baekje went to war again a few years later. During this period, Kim Chunqiu was consolidating his power.

   Underestimated the heroes of the world!

  There was Wang Xuance before, Zhu Tao later, and countless officials like this in the Tang Dynasty. These are the creators of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

   Jia Ping'an was delighted. He knew that as long as such a Tang Dynasty avoided those big pits and reformed it, it would be able to continue the prosperity.

   And Zhu Tao in front of him is a rare diplomatic talent.

   "Zhu Shaoqing..."

   "You don't have to say, the old man knows."

  Jia Pingan: "..."

   "I said let's drink together."

  Zhu Tao was taken aback, "It's easy to say."

  …

   At noon, Chu Suiliang ate something, then took a walk, and just entered the duty room when a guest came.

   "Dengshan is busy now, and the old man dare not bother him, but he heard that the auxiliary machine had a dispute with the emperor, so the old man wanted to ask, do you want to help the emperor wholeheartedly now?"

  The old man has a hooked nose and calm eyes.

  Chu Suiliang said lightly: "The overall situation is the most important."

"What is the overall situation?" The old man sneered and said, "The overall situation in the past was the Eight Pillars Kingdom, but then the Eight Pillars Kingdom disintegrated. Some people died and their families were destroyed, and some were destitute. Now you are the new Eight Pillars Kingdom. Has Zhu Guo changed his appetite and started to be a vegetarian?"

  Chu Suiliang was silent.

  The old man stood up, "The old man is just here to tell you that the emperor is a tiger and a wolf, and you have heard that tigers and wolves don't eat people? Today's forbearance will definitely be exchanged for tomorrow's butcher's knife. You wait and do it yourself."

  Chu Suiliang clenched his fists tightly, but he was not angry.

   "Old man..."

  The old man's eyes were full of splendor, which disappeared in a flash.

  But Chu Suiliang immediately took a deep breath, "Of course I will discuss this matter with the auxiliary machine."

  The old man sneered and said, "It's good to do it yourself!"

  …

  In the morning, Yuchi Baolin brought several sons to greet the old man Yuchi Gong.

  Yuchi Baolin had business to do, so she said a few words and left.

  Aye, such a day is not bad!

  Yuchi Xunyu was a little envious.

  Yu Chigong got up, and asked seemingly casually: "Does Dalang want to be an official?"

  Of course Yu Chi Xunyu wanted to, but he knew that his grandfather was jealous and couldn't come forward to ask for an official for him, so he could only wait for the door... So he said: "A Weng, I don't want to."

  For a young man to lie and play tricks in front of people like Yu Chigong, that's really tricky.

   Later, all the children and grandchildren left.

  Yu Chigong called the steward for questioning.

   "Lang Jun is very cautious when he is outside, and there are no mistakes or omissions to be found."

   "How is Da Lang?"

  Why don't you care about the lord, so why don't you just ask the little lord?

  The steward felt that Alang was too eccentric, "Mr. Xiao Lang is either studying in class, or going out to drink and play with a few friends, and often fights horses."

There was more tenderness in Yu Chigong's eyes, "Bao Lin is in charge of the family, and she is in her fifties. Back then, the old man suppressed too much, so that he was more than cautious, but not enough to develop. Now there is no one on His Majesty's side. Suspicious, but after all, the old man was warned by the late emperor not to go out to work again, and Pauline is like this, Yuchi's family can only look after Dalang."

  The steward smiled and said, "Young Lord, you know a lot of people now."

   "Prince Teng?" Yu Chigong snorted coldly, "This is a libertine who defiles himself in order to survive, what can such a person do?"

   "Ah Lang, King Teng is different now, he is in charge of His Majesty's money!"

Huh!

  Yu Chigong was taken aback, "Is he like this?"

  Since this is the case, the matter of Dalang cannot wait any longer.

  Yu Chigong squinted his eyes, opened them suddenly, and there was a flash of light, "The old man will enter the palace now."

   Later, Yuchi Gong entered the Ganlu Hall.

   "Your Majesty, the old minister is too old to serve His Majesty. The son Baolin is mediocre, and the old minister only asks him to pass this life safely, but his grandson, Yuchi Xunyu... Your Majesty, Xunyu is pure and loyal to His Majesty..."

   This is to seek an official.

  In the case of poor imperial examinations, the paths of becoming an official in the Tang Dynasty are relatively scattered, and the door shade is the most important path.

  Wei Chi Xunyu... Li Zhi heard that this person is quite straightforward. A straightforward person can be used, but not too much.

  Yu Chigong is an old minister, he personally came forward to ask... Last time Yuchi Gong jumped outside the imperial city of Ma, and stopped drinking, which shocked Changsun Wuji and his group.

   No reward for meritorious service, who will help you next time?

  Li Zhi said with a smile: "The army is a good place..."

  But Yu Chigong smiled wryly and said: "At the beginning, the old minister thought that his grandson would not join the army, but Xun Yu's martial arts are not very good."

  After being secretly warned by the first emperor, Yuchi Gong was shocked, so he went home to avoid disaster. Immediately, even the grandson stopped training martial arts and art of war, to imply that Yuchi's family was harmless.

  But... how should such Yuchi Xunyu be arranged?

   "Your Majesty!"

   Yuchi Gong knelt down.

  No one expected him to kneel.

  This is not an era when you kneel when you see an emperor, Yuchi Gong suddenly knelt down...

  Wang Zhongliang's eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but think of his parents and relatives.

  Yu Chigong knelt down for his grandson, his parents...

  Li Zhi was moved, and he came to help Yuchi Gong himself, "Why is Duke E like this?"

  Yu Chigong said frankly: "At the age of the old minister, all fame and fortune are just floating clouds, and the only thing you can't forget is the future of your children and grandchildren."

   Poor parents all over the world!

  Li Zhi suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I need someone to take care of some things here, and now that King Teng is taking care of it, I still need a trustworthy person..."

   This is the position of taking care of the emperor's private affairs. No matter how high or low, no matter whether you have a rank or not, as long as you do it, you will have a great future in the future.

  Yu Chigong said without hesitation: "The Yuchi family is loyal to His Majesty. If Xun Yu has two hearts, the old minister... the old minister will resign."

  What is this man doing in such a hurry?

   Li Zhi has black lines all over his head.

   Later, Yu Chigong asked to see him again.

   "Your Majesty, the Duke of E has brought Yuchi Xunyu here, and that Yuchi Xunyu looks like he has just been beaten severely, shouting to be loyal to His Majesty outside the palace."

   Li Zhi's cheeks trembled, "Let them come."

   Later, Yu Chigong brought in his grandson Yuchi Xunyu like a chicken, "Speak!"

  Yu Chi Xunyu knelt down with a bruised nose and a swollen face, "Your Majesty, I will be loyal to Your Majesty in this lifetime. If you break this oath, heaven and man will perish together, and there will be no place to die."

  Yu Chigong found his grandson, beat him severely, and made him swear allegiance to me... This method seemed vulgar, but Li Zhi smiled and said, "Why is that so? From now on, you and King Teng will deal with those matters together."

   It is not appropriate for King Teng to be in charge of smuggling alone. Once he has thoughts that he shouldn't have, those smuggling routes and the power of smuggling merchants will become the birthplace of ambition.

  Adding the straightforward Yuchi Xunyu into it can form effective checks and balances.

   Li Zhi nodded.

  Out of the palace, Yuchi respectfully left.

"gentlemen."

  Yuchi Xunyu went to Baiqi to find Jia Ping'an.

   "Fuck!"

  Jia Pingan was frightened by Yuchi Xunyu, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, "Who did it?"

   "A Weng." Yuchi Xunyu smiled wryly: "A Weng beat me severely, and then took me into the palace to show my loyalty. Your Majesty asked me to manage affairs with King Teng."

   This is checks and balances. By the way, it also solved Yu Chi Xunyu's matter, and won Yu Chi Gong's gratitude. It really is the emperor.

  Jia Pingan patted him on the shoulder, "Duke E has done his best for you."

  It is great to have such a grandfather, but Jia Pingan is more pleased that he is the official generation and the rich generation.

   "The weather is getting hotter, and there are more and more people fighting with knives. Yongzhou said that the Jinwu Guards often turn a blind eye and close their eyes. As a result, someone stabbed a knife every now and then. The higher-ups asked Baiqi to check frequently."

  Ming Jing brought the latest instructions from the palace, with a gloating look on her face, "Going out in this weather...it won't take long for the sun to peel."

  Thinking of Jia Pingan turning into a dark guy, Ming Jing felt at ease.

   Jia Ping'an really didn't want to go out, but this was an instruction from the emperor.

  He walked out of the duty room and shouted: "Bao Dong led a team of brothers to follow me and Ming Zhongguan on a tour."

  Ming Jing exploded, "Why me?"

   "Should we all have difficulties." Cheng Da covered his stomach after speaking, "Stomach hurts."

  Ming Jing came out angrily, and Jia Pingan praised: "Mingzhong officials want to share weal and woe with me, brothers, praise one."

   "Colorful!"

  Ming Jing gritted her teeth and followed, "If I get tanned, I will be laughed at when I enter the palace, and His Majesty will be surprised when he sees me."

   "This is evidence of your diligence, His Majesty will only praise you."

   "But how can I meet people when I'm tanned?" Ming Jing wanted to kill someone.

   Jia Ping'an wondered: "You are a female crown, why do you care about your appearance?"

yes! I am a female crown, isn't my appearance just a stinky skin?

  Ming Jing comforted herself.

  Jia Ping'an said to himself: "The makeup powder of the Yang family in Dongshi seems to be able to cover it up, and it's completely white..."

   There is such a good makeup powder?

  As a female crown, Ming Jing had never used these cosmetics before, but when she heard them now, her heart was moved.

  Everyone has a love of beauty. When a person no longer cares about his appearance and all external affairs, he is either desperate, or sees through the vanity of the world.

  “It seems that you have to spend a lot of money to buy it, and you have to queue up to make an appointment…”

  Ming Jing said sharply: "Jia Ping'an, you are shameless!"

   Jia Pingan laughed, and the group left the imperial city.

  There were a lot of people in Chang'an City in summer, and everyone was wearing cloaks, Ming Jing felt a little better.

   All the way into Dongshi, the Dongshi is full of people at the moment, and the shouts of merchants are heart-wrenching. From time to time, you can see scenes of bargaining, disputes between the two sides, and even full of old fists.

   "Stop!"

  Bao Dong led people to stop a fight, and came back and said, "Why does this subordinate have a sense of accomplishment?"

   "Doing things for the common people, peace of mind."

  Jia Pingan explained his mental activities in one sentence.

   "Hey! Uncle Wuyang, there is a fight ahead."

  Outside a shop, two gangs were fighting.

   "Stop!"

  Ming Jing stepped forward to stop.

   "Kill him!"

   Neither side looked at her at all.

  No face...

  Ming Jing was furious, and rushed in to beat her up.

   Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

  She knocked down a few people in front, but when the two sides came to surround and beat her, Ming Jing seemed a bit difficult, and finally got punched in the face, and staggered back.

  She covered her eyes and said angrily, "Why didn't you make a move?"

   "You need credit recently." Jia Pingan pointed to her eyes, "This and the tanned face are all credit to you."

  How did this guy know? Ming Jing: "..."

  If it wasn't for credit, how could Ming Jing make a move?

  Smelly men are also worthy of being old mothers?

  This is Ming Jing's attitude.

   After a pause on both sides, Jia Pingan took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Whoever punched her, stand up."

  These people didn't flinch, a man came out from one side, and the man on the left was burly and powerful, and said coldly: "This is Dongshi, I'm waiting for you, the government doesn't care, this person beat our brother, he deserves to be beaten."

  The rangers in Chang’an are a relatively well-known group. Don’t think that people who wear the word “Xia” are good people. In fact, this group of people is more fierce than evil, and they regard the government and the law as nothing. It is proud to despise the government and the law, and ashamed to obey the government's arrangements.

   A group of scumbags who don't know honor or disgrace!

   Jia Ping'an narrowed his eyes, "Ten breaths."

  The ranger on the right scolded: "Use a knife if you have the ability, yeah, I will definitely chop you up with a knife!"

"interesting!"

   Jia Ping'an nodded, "You wait for the ranger to be lawless, today Jia will do justice for the sky and give him a knife!"

  The ranger said excitedly: "Bah! Yeah, I have it myself!"

  A younger brother handed over the horizontal knife.

   Madan!

  This is illegal possession of controlled knives!

  Jia Pingan pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, narrowing his eyes slightly...

  …

   Ask for votes!
