The reason why the Loulan Kingdom and the Taizheng Imperial City have not had any contact for more than 100 years, whether it is in politics or economically, the reason is that the King of Loulan is the former dynasty and the descendants, and the Taizu of the Taizheng Imperial City has taken away the country's rivers and mountains, bullying the orphans and widows of others, and the young master was able to add a yellow robe to the young age, so there is a knot between the two, so the Taizheng Imperial City will not ask the Loulan Kingdom to pay tribute to itself every year, and come to the court every year. In recent decades, the Taisho Imperial City has conquered countries around Loulan, such as Kunlun, Hami, Dawan, Persia, etc., but the iron cavalry of the Taizheng Imperial City did not set foot on the land of Loulan, so the two countries are still at peace with each other, the countries around Loulan are not only the vassal states of Taizheng, but also have a very solid relationship network with Taizheng in terms of economy, they exchange horses for silk and tea in the Central Plains, but the Kingdom of Loulan has not opened a business channel with the Taizheng Imperial City.

On this day, above the court.

Emperor Tiande sat on the dragon chair as in the past, Wen Dong Wuxi stood with his hands down, the only difference was that the emperor was missing the king Murong Yichuan, because he was in the palace, so he did not go to the court for two days.

The emperor swept the ministers majestically, and then spoke slowly; "You Aiqing have something to play, and you have nothing to do."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, suddenly a eunuch walked up to the main hall.

"Long live the Lord of Qiyu, the envoy of Loulan asked to see him outside the palace. "The little eunuch came to the emperor and knelt on the ground, and reported loudly.

The emperor heard that the Loulan envoys asked to see, but he was shocked, and said that this dynasty and Loulan Suwu exchanges, how can a good envoy come, although the emperor was puzzled, but his face was not moved, vaguely maintained the initial majesty and calm, he glanced at the ministers, but found that the expressions on the faces of some ministers were consistent with what they thought in their hearts, in the matter of deciding whether to see or not, the emperor kicked the "ball" to the ministers, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think I want to summon the Loulan envoys or?" ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Prime Minister Xiao Suen stood up in the literary class, and he stood up and bowed his hand to the emperor; "Enlighten the emperor, for the ministers to have a book."

"Speak." The emperor focused his eyes on Prime Minister Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Suen said unhurriedly; "Back to the emperor, although my Taizheng Imperial City has no contact with the Loulan Kingdom, but after all, they have come to our land today, since they want to see our emperor, there must be something important, in order to show that our Celestial Empire is a great country and the great grace of the emperor, the minister thinks that the emperor should immediately announce that person to the palace."

After hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows, but did not answer immediately, "What objections do the other ministers have?" ”

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs were all the words; "The ministers have no objections. Great Literature"

Since the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had such an attitude, the emperor also made up his mind, "Come on, spread my will, and Xuanloulan envoys will go to the palace." ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, the little eunuchs passed the word one after another, and after a while, the Kung Fu Loulan envoys were taken to the main hall.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the Emperor Tiande all focused their eyes on the comer, only to see that the person who came was nearly nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and thick back, big shoulders and round waist, black complexion, beard more than an inch long, shaped like dry grass, a coarse cloth black clothes, but it was a frank chest, the hair on the chest was very long, at first glance there was a little barbaric temperament, standing on the top of the hall like a half-cut iron tower, so not mighty.

"Loulan's envoy Sha Qili has seen the Shangbang Emperor." As soon as the man spoke, the sound was like a bell, and the hall was buzzing, but the man just bowed his hand to the emperor, but he stood and did not kneel, which made the emperor a little unhappy, after all, he was the emperor, and you were just a small hour.

The time is not expensive, not only the emperor is displeased, but the Manchu civil and military ministers are also the same.

Ximen Donghai saw that the man was rude, so he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at the comer; "Bold envoy, why don't you kneel when you see my emperor?"

The man was not frightened by Ximen Donghai's reprimand, but said unhurriedly; "First of all, our Loulan Kingdom is not a vassal state of the Celestial Empire, so we can not kneel down to worship the emperor's majesty, and the subordinates brought a letter from my king's majesty, and after reading the letter, it is not too late to let Sha Qili kneel and bow." As he spoke, the man escaped from his bosom and handed a letter to the little eunuch, but he was still standing in place, neither humble nor arrogant, although he was a Loulan man, but his Chinese was very fluent.

The little eunuch succeeded the emperor with the envoy's letter, and the emperor took the letter and opened it slowly, first glanced at it, his brows furrowed slightly, and after a closer look, the brows were wrinkled even more.

The emperor gave the letter to the little eunuch; "Prime Minister Xiao Cheng; Come on, give this letter of faith to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. The little eunuch handed the letter to Prime Minister Xiao Suen, and when Xiao Suen looked at the letter, he also frowned and looked embarrassed; Doctor Goshi, let's read this letter. Prime Minister Xiao Cheng pushed the letter to the Imperial Doctor Zhou Chang, but Zhou Chang also looked embarrassed and frowned.

Ximen Donghai and Taiwei Chen Yongkang read it, and the same was true of the letter.

The letter returned to the emperor's hand, and the emperor couldn't recognize the content of the letter when he saw that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't recognize the contents, so he felt that it was detrimental to the majesty of the Celestial Empire, and his face was a little unbearable, but he looked at Sha Qili, the envoy of Loulan, but he was proud. "Could it be that the dignified Celestial Empire can't find people who recognize Loulan's characters, they all say that the Taizheng Imperial City is a big country, and there are many talents, I can't see it, I came to the Central Plains to study Chinese for three years to show our Loulan's sincerity to the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire is-" The confidence of the Loulan envoy was a little more than just now, and he stood on the top of the main hall with pride.

The emperor felt that his majesty had been desecrated, so his face immediately became gloomy, and his eyes were slightly cold, "I remember that there are people in Taixue who are specially trained to recognize the characters of various countries, and there should be about ten scholars in this dynasty who can recognize the Loulan script, so pass them on quickly." "The emperor is really anxious at this time.

The little eunuch just wanted to go down to the palace to pass it, but Prime Minister Xiao Suen broke off and snorted; "Wait."

"Does Prime Minister Xiao have any objections?" The Emperor asked displeasedly.

Prime Minister Dao; "Back to Long Live Lord, I have already sent those ten scholars to Initial Persia, Hami, Kunlun and other countries a few days ago, and they are no longer in the court, so-" Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was in the same mood as the emperor at this time, and he really wished that he would immediately have a strange function to be able to recognize this Loulan script, so as to save the lost face of the Taizheng Imperial City.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately became numb, and the letter in front of him and the smug and arrogant Loulan envoy below.

"Please go down and rest, I promise that I will give you an answer in three days." The emperor thought about it for a long time, but he could only use this delaying tactic to perfunctory, otherwise he would really continue to lose his ugliness.

When the Loulan envoys heard this, they had no choice but to say that it was okay, and after three days, I waited for a reply, and then went down to the palace triumphantly, leaving the monarchs and ministers of the Taizheng Imperial City depressed in the main hall.
