Chapter 196 Selection of Messengers
The one hundred and ninety-sixth round
The bottle inserted by the hairpin lady was placed on the table of the Tang envoy. A painting of a long landscape painting by the Yuan Master was also presented to their desk after it was dried. Lord Ouyang's handwriting was written, but it was personally sent to His Majesty by Gonggong An, Li Shimin restrained his brows and read it again, confirming that the content on it was not unfavorable to diplomatic relations, and then finally handed it over to the Tang envoy.
The envoys who were dressed in different clothes admired each other, and successively bowed their hands to His Majesty, and said in a less proficient official language: "The culture of your country is really worthy of its reputation. However, in the closed land of our state, there is no writing language, and I also ask Your Majesty to give some talents to our state to make literature and characters, and spread culture. ”
Li Shimin groaned: "This ......" sent Tang envoys to the court these days, he walked carefully inside and outside Chang'an City, and then entered the palace to visit the various official offices of the three provinces and six ministries to understand how Li Tang set the official system to settle the world. I didn't expect that they didn't know how to be satisfied, so they had to poach a few of Li Tang's talents before they could stop.
Although there are many talents, who will be sent to the narrow and simple territory of Silla?
And most of the courtiers in the hall also tilted their heads and talked quietly. The envoys sent to Tang sat next to them, so the discussion could only be carried out secretly.
They all knew that Silla was a dilapidated state, the environment was not as good as Li Tang's, and the diet was rough. Who would be stupid enough to take the initiative to ask for help and go to that kind of place to ask for their own suffering. And if everyone does not voluntarily come out of the ranks, it means that His Majesty has to open his mouth to choose, which contains a lot of luck. They talk to each other to see who can do the better thing.
At the head of the courtiers are the left and right servants, the various Shangshu, they rarely did not open their mouths under Li Shimin's eyes, but just exchanged glances with each other, and they could only understand the unspeakable meaning, and they spread like flowing water.
Qin Ying saw that the edicts of the Hanlin Academy had gone down, and he felt that there was no excitement to see, so he buried his face and ate. A piece of beef smoked and roasted to a golden brown couldn't be clamped, Qin Ying's eyes stared at the plate of beef in the stilt bowl even more deeply, and the whole person's spirit was concentrated here.
She missed the process of watching others calculate herself.
Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, has always been good friends with Dai Guan, the secretary of the household department, and when choosing a seat, all the courtiers invariably left the seat next to Hou Junji to Dai Guan.
At this time, these two people looked at each other for a moment, Hou Junji laughed, he glanced at Dai Guan, and then went to look at Qin Ying, who was half drunk in the distance. Seeing her moving the chopsticks in a daze, the thinly sliced beef always slid under the chopsticks, Hou Junji's smile was even worse: if he couldn't get rid of Qin Ying's eye thorn this time, he would write his name upside down!
After thinking about it, Hou Junji left the table and knelt in the center of the hall, and made a big salute to Li Shimin: "The minister is willing to share his worries for His Majesty." ”
"What does Aiqing have to say?" Li Shimin felt that his right eye jumped, and he had a bad premonition. He was afraid that as soon as Hou Junji made a statement, he would give Shibai, the pillar of the country, to Silla. People are selfish. Although His Majesty's mind is broad, it will still hurt to disperse this talent that is easy to gather.
Hou Junji straightened up and said without humility or arrogance: "-- The minister recommended Qin to be edicted by the Hanlin Academy."
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. The faces of the courtiers were different, and some civil officials, such as the squire of Zhongshu Province, secretly congratulated themselves on not being recommended; Some military officials, such as the military department, secretly annoyed that their superiors did not protect themselves, and lacked an opportunity to escort the envoys to make meritorious contributions.
Qin Ying, who was the party concerned, was still fighting with chopsticks and beef, and Li Chengqian, who was sitting next to her, trembled his shoulders slightly. He raised his hand and squeezed the teacup tightly, his fingers and joints white. Because he was unwell, he had long been banned from drinking by the doctors.
This person is so vicious, knowing that the Silla Tang envoy wanted an official of Huiwen, but he recommended Qin Ying, who knew how to be a doctor. Did he want to push Qin Ying to a height, and then tear her off with his own hands, so that she would be ruined?
"What do you mean by Aiqing?" Li Shimin never expected that Hou Junji's ability to pick and choose people was so low. Qin Ying has some attainments in medical skills, but she can make words or not, who can find out? Li Shimin did not approve of Qin Ying's envoy. But just as he shook his head, he saw the eyes of Empress Eldest Sun pass over.
Her eyes are clear and shallow, but she means not to take it lightly.
Li Shimin didn't know what Empress Changsun was thinking, but he was used to respecting her opinions, so when he saw this, he pressed the doubts in his heart and listened to Hou Junji continue.
"Before Qin Zhizhao entered the palace, he was a well-known figure in Chang'an City. It is rumored that Qin Zhizhao is amazingly talented, and His Majesty wants to believe that Qin Zhizhao also has other abilities. However, to be on the safe side, it's better to have a few more adults with you. Hou Junji turned his words smoothly without revealing a drop. Although he is a good military attaché, his eloquence has always been very good. At the beginning, he slandered Li Jing for rebellion, but if Li Shimin didn't know people very well, he would have really been fooled by him.
Fang Xuanling said in his heart that Hou Junji and Qin Ying had a discordant relationship, and when he recommended Qin Ying, he pushed Qin Ying into the fire pit. And the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty patronized their own gains and losses, and did not care about the mess encountered by others......
"陛xià. The stakes are big and need to be considered in the long run. Fang Xuanling thought about a thousand thoughts, and then came out and knelt down to say. He owes Qin Ying a great favor, so let's pay her back like this today.
Li Shimin stretched out his hand and rubbed his tight eyebrows. It came so suddenly. He really couldn't settle down on the spot.
"The position of envoy represents the dignity of our dynasty, and I can't choose it for the time being. But within five days, there will be a result. Li Shimin drank a glass of sake with his head bored, put down the cup and said loudly.
After countless failures, Qin Ying finally picked up the piece of beef as he wished and filled it into his stomach.
Hou Junji glanced at Fang Xuanling, wondering in his heart what benefits Qin Ying had allowed Fang Xuanling, and asked him to speak for her three times and twice. Although Fang Xuanling is a servant of the court, this can be explained by "seeking his own government in his position", but Hou Junji just felt that the two of them had a lot of personal friendship.
The Silla envoys raised their glasses and said respectfully in unison: "Thank you for your grace and kindness, we will reorganize the convoy and return to China in five days." ”
Li Shimin knew that they were changing the law to keep their promises, and suddenly felt that they had no words to establish a country, but their minds were not bad at all.
When Li Chengqian heard these words, the stone hanging in his heart fell temporarily. Fortunately, Aya was not persuaded by Hou Junji and appointed Qin Ying as an envoy.
Qin Ying's catties and taels, Li Chengqian is extremely clear. She went in and out of the main hall of Donggong Li so many times, and when she saw the shelves full of scrolls and silk books, she didn't squint, and she looked indifferent. At that time, Li Chengqian knew that Qin Ying was not interested in words.
One day he deliberately dropped his bookbag in front of Qin Ying, Qin Ying glanced at him lightly, without an interface or asking questions. She didn't understand it, and she didn't want to.
For a person like Qin Ying, who doesn't understand the reason for writing at all, what kind of envoy did he go to Silla?
She is obviously her own doctor, and she was assigned to the Hanlin Academy to be an official doctor to wait for the edict, to be honest, Li Chengqian was a little reluctant, not to mention that Qin Ying left Chang'an and went to another country.
He would never allow Qin Ying to go thousands of miles. (To be continued.) )
