Chapter 409: Chang'an's Mind Walks for Heaven
When the Baekje envoy saw Chang'an City, he couldn't help but praise: "Such a majestic city is indeed the central country." ”
The majestic Chang'an City was dizzying, but the entourage was a little worried, "This matter depends on the attitude of the Tang people, if it is still cold, then this trip will be in vain." ”
The envoy bowed his head and said with a firm gaze: "Come for nothing, come for nothing, you have to try." Last time, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty said that Chang'an would open his mind to friends from Baekje, so he would try it today. ”
When they arrived at the city gate, the accompanying Datang officials negotiated a few words, but the sergeant guarding the gate said: "Please wait in the pergola outside the city for this matter." ”
What does that mean?
There is a pergola outside the city, where those who travel far away and those who see them off will gather here, drink a little wine, compose a few poems, and then say goodbye.
But this is the Mission!
Why wait outside?
The messenger was furious, and his followers had already begun to reprimand.
"What are we going to do with such humiliation? Let's go back. ”
The envoy shook his head, "It's all in Chang'an, so I finally handed over the paperwork, and then went back." ”
As an emissary, you must not be impulsive, and you must fully consider the situation of all parties.
The news has been reported to Honglu Temple.
"Shaoqing, the Baekje envoy is here, and according to the explanation last time, they have been asked to wait outside the city."
Zhu Tao, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, got up, "You don't have to say it, the old man knows." ”
He then rushed into the palace to ask for a meeting.
"Your Majesty, the Baekje envoy is here."
Li Zhi was stunned, "Baekje messenger...... Both ends of the Silla mouse, Baekje ......"
Zhu Tao said with blazing eyes: "Your Majesty, Datang wants to let Baekje know that Silla is not an ally of Datang. ”
What allies, after Jia Ping'an returned from his last mission, Zhu Tao asserted that the Silla people are not authentic.
Wooing Baekje in this way can also form a containment.
"Your Majesty, Datang can't be regarded as a fool by the Silla people!"
These words obviously stabbed Li Zhi's lungs, and his expression was faint, "Come out to Honglu Temple." ”
Honglu Temple Shaoqing came out to greet him, which is the treatment of welcoming friends.
Later, Zhu Tao took a group of officials and a guard of honor to fight, and left the imperial city in a mighty way.
Outside Chang'an City, the Baekje envoy had already drunk three cups of tea, and was greasy with the sheep wanting to eat dry cakes.
"What does Datang mean by this?"
He couldn't help but ask the accompanying Datang officials.
"This ...... I guess it's going to be a confession. ”
Where these local officials knew about the changes in Datang's foreign policy, they all felt that they were deliberately negligent.
Deliberate neglect is also a kind of diplomatic language, so that you know the attitude of Datang, either bow your head, or come and go wherever you want.
The envoy thought of the country's ardent expectations for his trip, and could not help but say with tears in his eyes: "I have come with sincerity, but ...... Last time the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, that Wu Yangbo said that Chang'an would open his arms to welcome friends from Baekje. I didn't see my arms, but I was hit in the ear. ”
The entourage all had dark faces, and they didn't even drink tea.
"Someone's coming."
There was a commotion at the gates, and then the guard of honor came out.
"Who is this traveling?"
The officials stood in unison.
Zhu Tao then came out, and he said with a straight face: "Where is the Baekje envoy?" ”
The accompanying Datang officials hurried over, "Zhu Shaoqing, this is the envoy of Baekje." ”
The Baekje envoy was already stunned at the moment.
He thought that Datang was going to hang his party, but he didn't expect Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to come, this ......
Isn't it welcome?
But as a diplomat, he knew that even the envoy of Silla, an ally, had never received such treatment when he came to Datang.
Not to mention Baekje?
And it turned out to be the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, unless such a person is an important person visiting, such as a certain khan, or a certain lord, you don't want him to go out of the city to greet him.
He was rejoicing, but he wasn't sure.
Zhu Tao's eyes turned, looked at the envoy, and said kindly: "Your envoy has worked hard all the way. ”
In an instant, all the grievances and depression dissipated, and the messenger couldn't help crying, "Datang...... Sure enough, he 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 quite moved, and said again and again that what Wu Yangbo said was true, and Datang was so enthusiastic that he felt at home, and he would definitely let Baekje know about Datang's goodwill when he went back." ”
That's half the story!
Jia Ping'an was overjoyed and hurriedly went to find Zhu Tao.
"Zhu Shaoqing, does the Baekje envoy have any requests?"
When an envoy goes out, he usually reports on the latest situation in his own country, as well as disputes with neighboring countries. Then Datang needs to make a statement, for example, to support Silla, then it will warn Baekje to do it himself.
That's what diplomacy is all about.
There is also a kind of request.
Zhu Tao said with a smile: "The Baekje envoy is even a little incoherent, saying that Silla frequently attacks on the border, and then Kim Yuxin often leads troops to roar by, and if he is not careful, he will lead troops to invade." ”
Silla!
"Silla is still trying to defeat Baekje." Jia Ping'an said firmly: "The last time I saw Jin Chunqiu, this person is deep and ambitious, not mediocre. ”
"The old man knows, you don't have to say it." Zhu Tao pondered for a while, "Jin Chunqiu succeeded to the throne, since he is an ambitious person...... Before that, he did not dare to start a war with the outside world, otherwise his foundation would not be solid, and once he was defeated, there would be opposition from the Silla country. ”
Jia Ping'an: "......"
This Zhu Shaoqing, who always likes to interrupt others' words and speak, 'You don't have to say, I know', has such a sharp vision?
Silla and Baekje went to war again a few years later, during which time Kim Chun-chung was consolidating his power.
Underestimate the heroes of the world!
There was Wang Xuance in the front, Zhu Tao in the back, and there were countless such officials in the Tang Dynasty, which was the founder of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.
Jia Ping'an was happy in his heart, he knew that as long as such a Tang Dynasty avoided those big pits and reformed it, he would be able to continue the prosperous era.
And the Zhu Tao in front of him is a rare diplomatic talent.
"Zhu Shaoqing ......"
"You don't have to say it, the old man knows."
Jia Ping'an: "......"
"I said the lower yamen drank together."
Zhu Tao was stunned, "It's easy to say." ”
……
At noon, Chu Suiliang ate something, then took a walk, and just entered the duty room, a guest came.
"Dengshan is busy now, and the old man doesn't dare to disturb him, but I heard that the auxiliary machine has a dispute with the emperor, so the old man wants to come and ask, are you going to assist the emperor now?"
The old man had a hooked nose and a calm gaze.
Chu Suiliang said lightly: "The overall situation is important. ”
"What's the big picture?" The old man sneered: "In the past, the overall situation was the Eight Pillars Kingdom, and then the Eight Pillars Kingdom was dispersed. Some people are dead and their families are wiped out, some people are destitute and helpless, and now you are waiting for the new Eight Pillars Kingdom, has the Eight Pillars Kingdom changed its appetite and started to eat vegetarian? ”
Chu Suiliang was silent.
The old man got up, "The old man is here just to tell you that the emperor is a tiger wolf, have you heard that tigers and wolves don't eat people?" Today's forbearance will inevitably be exchanged for tomorrow's butcher's knife, you can do it yourself. ”
Chu Suiliang clenched his fists, but not anger.
"Old man......"
The old man's eyes were full of brilliance, and they disappeared in a flash.
But Chu Suiliang then took a deep breath, "The old man will naturally discuss this matter with the auxiliary machine. ”
The old man sneered: "It's good to do it yourself! ”
……
In the morning, Yu Chi Baolin brought a few sons to the back to say hello to the old lady Yu Chi Gong.
Yu Chi Baolin had business to do, so she said a few words and left.
Aya is not bad on a day like this!
Wei Chi Xunyu was a little envious.
Wei Chigong got up and asked seemingly casually, "Da Lang wants to be an official?" ”
Of course, Wei Chi Xunyu wanted to, but he knew that his grandfather was suspicious and couldn't come forward to ask for an official for himself, so he could only wait for the shade of the door...... He said, "Ah Weng, I don't want to." ”
A young man lies and plays tricks in front of people like Wei Chigong, it is really an axe in the class.
Later, all the children and grandchildren left.
Wei Chigong called the steward to question.
"Lang Jun is very cautious outside, and there are no mistakes or omissions."
"How's Da Lang?"
Why don't you care about Lang Jun, just ask Xiao Lang Jun?
The steward felt that Ah Lang was too partial, "Xiao Langjun is either in class and studying, or going out to drink and play with a few friends, and often beating horses." ”
Wei Chigong's eyes were a little more gentle, "Pauline is in charge of the family, a person in his fifties, and the old man suppressed it too much, so that he was more cautious, but not enough pioneering. Now there is no suspicion on His Majesty's side, but after all, the old man was reprimanded by the first emperor, and it is not good to go out to do things again, and Pauline is the same, and the Wei Chi family can only look at Da Lang. ”
The steward smiled: "Xiao Langjun can be regarded as knowing a lot of people now. ”
"King Teng?" Yu Chigong snorted coldly, "This person is a prodigal, defiling 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!"
Hey!
Wei Chigong was stunned, "Is he like this?" ”
Since this is the case, the matter of Dalang cannot wait any longer.
Wei Chigong's eyes narrowed, and suddenly opened, and there was a flash of light, "The old man will enter the palace now." ”
Later, Wei Chigong entered the Manna Palace.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and he can't serve His Majesty. The dog Baolin's talent is mediocre, and the old minister only asks him to live this life safely, but his grandson Wei Chi Xunyu ...... Your Majesty, you are simple and loyal to your Majesty......"
This is to ask for an official.
In the case of the failure of the imperial examination, the path of the Tang Dynasty as an official is relatively scattered, and the door shade is the most important way.
Wei Chi Xunyu...... Li Zhi heard that this person is quite straightforward, and honest people can be used, but they cannot be used.
Wei Chigong is an old minister, and he personally came forward to ask for ...... Last time, outside the Imperial City, Wei Chi Gong jumped outside the Imperial City, and he broke off his drink, which shocked the eldest grandson Wuji and his gang.
If you don't get a reward, who will want to help you next time?
Li Zhi said with a smile: "It's a good place to go in the army......"
But Wei Chigong smiled bitterly: "Lao Chen thought that his grandson's generation would not join the army, but Xun Yu's martial arts are not very good. ”
After being secretly warned by the first emperor, Wei Chigong was shocked and went home to avoid trouble. Immediately, even his grandson did not cultivate the art of martial arts, so as to imply the harmlessness of the Wei Chi family.
But...... How should such a lieutenant be arranged?
"Your Majesty!"
Wei Chigong knelt down.
No one expected him to kneel.
This is not an era where you kneel when you see the emperor, and Wei Chigong knelt down violently......
Wang Zhongliang's eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but think of his parents and relatives.
Wei Chigong knelt down for his grandchildren, and his parents ......
Li Zhi was moved, and personally came over to help Wei Chigong up, "Why should the Duke of Eguo be like this?" ”
Wei Chigong said calmly: "At the age of Lao Chen, all fame and fortune are floating clouds, and what I will never forget is the future of my children and grandchildren." ”
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!
Li Zhi suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I have some things to do here, and now that King Teng is taking care of it, I still have to ask for a credible person......"
This is the position of taking care of the emperor's private affairs, no matter how high or low, no matter whether there is a grade or not, as long as you do it, you will have a good future in the future.
Wei Chi Gong said without hesitation: "The Wei Chi family is loyal to Your Majesty, if Xun Yu has two hearts, the old minister ...... The old minister retired. ”
What is this man doing in a hurry?
Li Zhi's head was full of black lines.
Later, outside Wei Chi Gong asked to see him again.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of E is here with Wei Chi Xunyu, and that Wei Chi Xunyu looks as if he has just been beaten, and shouts loyalty to His Majesty outside the palace."
Li Zhi's cheeks trembled, "Let them come." ”
Later, Wei Chi Gong brought his grandson Yu Chi Xunyu in like a chicken, "Speak!" ”
Wei Chi knelt down with a blue nose and swollen face, "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to Your Majesty in this life, if you violate this oath, heaven and man will be destroyed together, and there will be no place to bury you." ”
Wei Chigong found his grandson, and then beat him badly, making him swear allegiance to me...... This kind of technique seems vulgar, but Li Zhi smiled and said, "Why bother? After that, you will deal with those matters with King Teng. ”
It is not appropriate to let King Teng be in charge of smuggling alone, once he has the wrong mind, those smuggling routes and the power of smuggling merchants will become the source of ambition.
And by adding Wei Chi Xunyu, a straightforward person, effective supervision and checks and balances can be formed.
Li Zhi's head.
Out of the palace, Wei Chi Gong walked away.
"Sir."
Wei Chi Xunyu went to Baiqi to find Jia Ping'an.
"it!"
Jia Ping'an was frightened by Wei Chi Xunyu, who had a blue nose and swollen face, "Who did it?" ”
"Awn." Yu Chi Xunyu smiled bitterly: "Ah Weng beat me badly, and then took me into the palace to show loyalty, Your Majesty asked me to take care of things with King Teng." ”
This is a check and balance, and by the way, it also solved the matter of Wei Chi Xunyu, and won the gratitude of Wei Chi Gong, and it was really the emperor.
Jia Ping'an patted him on the shoulder, "Duke E has done his best for you." ”
It's really good to have such a grandfather, but Jia Ping'an is even more pleased that he is an official generation and a rich generation.
"The weather is hot, and there are more and more people fighting and using knives, and Yongzhou said that Jin Wuwei often turns a blind eye, and someone stabs him every once in a while, and the top asks Baiqi to investigate often."
Ming Jing brought the latest instructions from the palace, with a gloating look, "Go out in this weather...... It doesn't take long for the skin to peel. ”
Thinking that Jia Ping'an had become a black guy, Ming Jing felt comfortable.
Jia Ping'an really didn't want to go out, but this was from the emperor's instructions.
He walked out of the duty room and shouted, "Bao Dong took a team of brothers to follow me and Ming Zhongguan on patrol." ”
Ming Jing blew up, "Why me?" ”
"It's hard to do it together." Cheng Da covered his stomach after speaking, "My stomach hurts." ”
Ming Jing came out in a huff, and Jia Ping'an praised: "Ming Zhongguan wants to share weal and woe with me, brothers, praise one." ”
"Color!"
Ming Jing gritted her teeth and followed, "If I get a tan, I will be laughed at when I enter the palace, and Your Majesty will be surprised when he sees me." ”
"This is evidence of your diligence, and Your Majesty will only praise you."
"But how can I meet people when I'm tanned?" Ming Jing wants to kill someone.
Jia Ping'an wondered: "You are a female crown, why do you care about appearance?" ”
Oh, yes! I'm a female crown, isn't my appearance a stinky skin to me?
Ming Jing comforted herself.
Jia Ping'an said to himself: "The fat powder of the Yang family in Dongshi seems to be able to cover it, and it is completely ......white."
Is there such a good fat powder?
As a female crown, Ming Jing had never used these cosmetics before, but when she heard it at the moment, she was moved.
When a person no longer cares about his appearance and all external affairs, this person is either desperate or has seen through the glitz of the world.
"It seems that you have to pay for it all the time, and you have to queue up to make an appointment......
Ming Jing screamed: "Jia Ping'an, you are shameless!" ”
Jia Ping'an laughed, and then the group left the imperial city.
There were a lot of people in Chang'an City in the summer, and everyone was wearing cloaks, and Ming Jing felt a little better.
All the way into the East Market, at this moment the East Market is full of people, the shouting of the merchants makes people's brains ache, from time to time you can see the scene of bargaining, the two sides dispute, and even full of old fists.
"Stop!"
Bao Dong led someone to stop a fight, came back and said, "Why does Xia Guan have a sense of accomplishment? ”
"Do things for the people, and have peace of mind."
Jia Ping'an explained his mental activities in one sentence.
"Huh! Wu Yangbo, there was a brawl in front. ”
Outside a shop, two gangs were fighting.
"Stop!"
Ming Jing stepped forward to drink.
"Kill him!"
Neither side looked at her at all.
Don't give face......
Ming Jing was furious and rushed in to fight.
Bang bang!
She knocked down several people in front, but when both sides came to beat her, Ming Jing looked a little difficult, and finally received a punch in the face and staggered back.
She covered her eyes and said angrily, "Why don't you make a move?" ”
"You've needed credit lately." Jia Ping'an pointed to her eyes, "This and your tanned face are all your credit." ”
How did this guy know? Mingjing: "......"
If it weren't for the need for credit, how could Ming Jing make a move?
Stinky men are also worth being mothers?
This is the attitude of Ming Jing.
After a pause on both sides, Jia Ping'an took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Whoever punched her, stand up." ”
These people did not flinch, a man came out on the side, the man on the left was burly and powerful, and said coldly: "This is Dongshi, the government doesn't care about the affairs of the rangers, this person beat our brother, he should be beaten." ”
Chang'an Ranger is a more famous group, don't think that with a chivalrous word is a good person, in fact, this group of people is less fierce than evil, and regards the government and the law as nothing. It is proud to despise and ignore the government and the law, and it is ashamed to obey the arrangements of the government.
A bunch of scum who don't know honor and disgrace!
Jia Ping'an squinted, "Ten breaths." ”
The ranger on the right scolded: "If you have the ability, you will use a knife, yes yes will definitely chop you with a knife!" ”
"Interesting!"
Jia Ping'an bowed his head, "You wait for the ranger to be lawless, today Jia will do the way for heaven and give him a knife!" ”
The ranger said excitedly, "Phew! Yaye himself has! ”
A younger brother handed over the horizontal knife.
Madan!
This is illegal possession of controlled knives!
Jia Ping'an pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, his eyes narrowed slightly......
