Chapter 165: Uighur Emissary

"Zhao Kuangzan postscript, he has sent the judge Li Shufeng to the Hajj to see him, and he wants to exhaust the military situation in Chen Guanzhong!" Guo Wei said.

"Where are the people?"

"Not yet in Tokyo!"

Liu Chengyou instructed: "After the people arrive, rule Lone, and Lone must meet in person!" ”

"Yes!"

"Your Highness, the Uighur envoy asks to see you!" Out of the Privy Council, to the political hall, before entering, Quan Honglu Siqing came to report.

Hearing the news, Liu Chengyou remembered that there was such a "friend" envoy in Beijing.

After the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs took over the hegemony of the Turks in Mobei, and maintained close ties with the Central Plains all along, and cultural and economic exchanges never stopped. More than 100 years ago, the Uighurs were wiped out by the Uighurs, and their tribes were scattered. Some of them moved south to Senan and were absorbed and assimilated by the Tang Dynasty, while the rest moved westward.

Some of the Uighur tents that migrated westward migrated to the Gansu and Sha regions, where they depended on Tibet for survival, and even so, their ties with the Central Plains were never broken. Since the Later Liang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, each dynasty has no dynasty, and the Uighurs have paid tribute from time to time. Up to now, the Central Plains is dominated by the Liu family, and as usual, they have come to congratulate.

The Uighur envoy who came to Tokyo this time came from the Uighurs of Ganzhou. Originally, he wanted to meet Liu Zhiyuan, but Liu Zhiyuan was unable to even insist on the New Year's court, let alone spare energy to meet with the Uighur envoys. The Uighur envoys were unable to do so, so they had to retreat to His Royal Highness the Prince, for news had already spread that the Crown Prince was in custody.

"Go to the Concierge!" Without thinking too much, Liu Chengyou ordered directly.

The envoy's name is Li Wu, who is in his thirties, and his appearance is old, and it is estimated that he has blown too much in the sweet and cool sand. Seeing Liu Chengyou directly bowed, people were so polite, Liu Chengyou naturally wanted to show the bearing of the Heavenly Empire and behave very kindly. It's just that obviously Liu Chengyou's seriousness has gone deep into his bones, which makes him look very restrained.

Although in terms of today's Han Dynasty, it is not yet possible to control the Uighurs, but it is better for Liu Chengyou to understand it, consult about Hexi affairs, and answer all of them.

This time, the Uighur envoys paid tribute to many good things, such as white jade, medicinal herbs, golden sand, and other valuable things. However, what interested Liu Chengyou the most was that there were a hundred Ganzhou horses, but before Liu Chengyou could show some satisfaction, Li Wu said: "Originally, the ministers wanted to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty, but they never thought that they would be intercepted by the Dingding Difficult Army halfway!" ”

In a word, Liu Chengyou was suddenly in a bad mood. Liu Chengyou also has a headache, here Fengxiang and the Shu army have not yet been resolved, and the party members of Xia and Sui have come out again, and they dare to rob the tribute horses of the imperial court. I was angry in my heart, but there was really no way, at this time, if the Dingyan army was forced to rebel, the situation in the northwest would really be completely eroded.

The internal and external troubles of the Great Han Kingdom are not for fun. In the original history, by the toss of the Later Han monarchs, they were able to maintain the national honor for four years, but it seemed that it was a long time. It is estimated that Guo Wei still has a great contribution to the continuation of the Later Han Dynasty......

No matter how angry and dissatisfied he was in his heart, he couldn't see anything on Liu Chengyou's face, along the way, there were many aggrieved things, and there was no need to be too excited about not being able to take revenge on the past immediately, that would only be inferior. However, Liu Chengyou's small notebook added another name: Li Yiyin, the envoy of the Dingyan Army.

"This Li envoy Jun is really impatient, if there is a lack of war horses, inform the imperial court, just a hundred Ganzhou horses, just give them to them......" Glancing at the envoy Li Wu, Liu Chengyou pretended to say naturally, but the stiffness in his tone was felt by everyone.

Taking a slight breath, Liu Chengyou said: "Your envoy has worked hard all the way, so you can take a good rest in the concierge for the time being, you can enjoy the scenery of Tokyo, and if you have a need, you can report to the concierge!" Lonely still has political affairs to deal with......"

Li Wu is obviously also a very discerning person, and when he heard the string song, he knew the elegant meaning, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The foreign minister respectfully sends His Highness!" ”

"Your Highness." Before he left the concierge house, he was called by a person. It should be an official of the protocol house, in his thirties, very temperamental, and with a solemn countenance.

Liu Chengyou was in a bad mood and asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that Liu Chengyou was taking care of himself, the person who came hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Although the Uighur envoy is in Tokyo this time, there is still a caravan, and they carry luxury and curiosities such as white jade and treasure sand for trading. ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou frowned slightly and glanced at the official: "What do you want to explain?" ”

"White jade things, although they are called treasures, are not beneficial to the state."

"So what?" Liu Chengyou was confused by this person, but his interest was also aroused.

Seeing this, the official replied: "Your Highness does not know anything, since the Jin Dynasty, every time the Uighur envoys come to the capital division, in addition to the tribute, the treasures they carry are forbidden for the people to trade in the private market. Although white jade is worth tens of millions, in this life, it is no more precious than a piece of rice grain, and it is worth this useless thing from the capital of the imperial court......"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Chengyou answered: "Lone understands what you mean!" ”

After thinking about it, he asked, "How do you think this matter should be resolved?" Friends come to envoys, thousands of miles of goods breeding, you can't ban it. ”

Hearing this, his people were prepared, and immediately replied: "Don't do anything else, just issue a decree from the imperial court, listen to its private transactions, and the officials are not allowed to prohibit cross-examination." If the citizens of Tokyo are interested, they will trade with them......"

After a little consideration of his suggestion, Liu Chengyou had to admit that this was a good idea. In the current situation in Tokyo, furs and herbs are more attractive to the people than white jade and treasure sand. Without the government to buy the backing, I am afraid that the Uighurs will lose money on this "white jade" transaction.

As for how the Uighur caravans would react after this order was issued, it was not Liu Chengyou's concern, after all, did they dare to "force the purchase and sale" with the government, and did not prohibit their trading. In the future, if there is a business trip, you have to learn to be obedient and sell some useful goods, such as war horses, white silk, leather goods, etc.

For Liu Chengyou, this matter is just a trivial matter, a matter of one sentence, but what really aroused his interest was the officials in front of him, asking: "Can you find this problem and still propose a solution, it will be an extraordinary person, who is your surname?" ”

"The minister is better than the middle of the class."

Just listening to this name, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but look him up and down several times, in the five dynasties, especially during the Later Zhou Dynasty, this model is also a generation of celebrities.

glanced at his simple official robe, and said casually: "Bibu Langzhong, why are you in the protocol house?" ”

Liu Chengyou's words made Fan Zhen stunned for a moment, and replied: "Your Majesty has entered Bian, and the minister has sentenced the protocol to the court. ”

Liu Chengyou suddenly couldn't help but sigh, even now, the official position in this court is so complicated that it makes people headaches.

"It's too condescending to stay in the concierge!" Liu Chengyou said directly.

When he said this, he kept observing Fan Zhen's expression, very calm, and there was no surprise on his face, which was very natural.

Liu Chengyou was even more satisfied with his reaction, and the quality he showed so far was better than that of most of the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty.

After thinking about it, Liu Chengyou said to Fan: "Lone gives you a task." ”

"Your Highness, please speak!" Fan quality is over.

Pointing to the protocol courtyard, Liu Chengyou whispered: "Let's find out for Gu Detective, what happened on the way to Beijing this time, especially about the interception of the tribute horses by the Dingyan army. ”

Hearing this, although Fan Zhen was surprised, he still obeyed the order.

Liu Chengyou was suspicious, since the Uighur envoys were accompanied by a caravan, if the party members robbed them, could they only focus on those tribute horses and despise those beautiful jade and goods? There may be a hidden secret, or maybe there is something to be said.

Of course, this is just a casual idea of Liu Chengyou, and it may not mean that he did not take the opportunity to investigate the quality again.

"Oh, by the way, Gu intends to transfer you to the door of Zhongshu, temporarily in the cardinal's room, as a clerk, don't be suspicious of the official ......" Liu Chengyou raised his hand again and said lightly, which was a promise.

"Your Highness!" Fan Zhen is still calm.

This person is a bit interesting, even if he is seeking an official, he seems so "unconventional".

Liu Chengyou is not sluggish, so boldly take the initiative to find him to perform, what do you want?

Know it in your heart.
