Chapter 46 Prostitutes
"Foreign Minister Shang Zan is knocking to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Shang Zan bowed aggressively, and the number of salutes was full, with a respectful and respectful appearance, and his expression reflected the admiration of his nephew Tubo for his uncle Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji listened to Pei Min's words yesterday, and also woke up, Fanbang thieves and wolves are ambitious, and they should not be trusted. They will not retreat because of their own courtesy and forbearance for a while, but will advance even more. Now Datang is really not suitable for using troops, and he doesn't want to use this military matter. But if you really want to fight, you are not afraid. For this reason, Li Longji did not pay so much attention to Shang Zanlu, a group of Tibetan envoys, and did not meet them in person, and directly asked the Ministry of Rites to entertain them as state guests. But he didn't want Shang Zanlu to come to the door unexpectedly.
Li Longji said with a bit of calmness: "The envoy is exempt, I don't know if the envoy can have fun today?" ”
"The outstanding people of the Tang Dynasty are competing for beauty, and the ministers are dizzying, and they are reluctant to leave." Shang Zanlu, as a messenger between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, the cultural level is not inferior to the world's learned people, all kinds of idioms casually come out without a sense of jerky, his expression is yearning, in fact, the bottom of his heart is very unhappy, today the Ministry of Rites arranged for them to visit the Great Ci'en Temple, Qujiang boating. It is inevitable to visit the Great Ci'en Temple to see the morning bell of the Wild Goose Pagoda, one of the eight scenic spots, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has been upgraded by more than one grade because of Pei Min's sword book fame. Looking at Pei Min's sword book, Shang Zanlu remembered what happened last night, if it weren't for Pei Min, why would they lose such a big face, and even damaged a talent with high martial arts. Visiting Qujiang again, the officials of the Ministry of Rites introduced the history of Qujiang and said the banquet of Qujiang, and Pei Min once again unintentionally mentioned it to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Shang Zan's mind was full of Pei Min, and it was not good to show that he didn't like it, so he could only hold it in his heart.
Li Longji said politely: "Since the envoy likes it, let's stay a few more days." ”
Shang Zanlu burst into tears in an instant, and tears ran down his cheeks.
Li Longji didn't expect Shang Zanlu to have such a change, and asked in surprise: "Why did the foreign envoy cry?" ”
Shang Zan choked up and said: "Looking at the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and then thinking that I am barren in Tibet, and the people are hungry, I feel sad from my heart, and I can't help but cry, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not strange." Your Majesty, the great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is like the bright moon in the world, and your kindness is as great as your mother. The foreign ministers had the courage to ask His Majesty to give me books on the history of Tubo for the sake of the suffering people of Tibet, so that the people of Tubo could admire the Tang culture with the foreign ministers; Give me a book on agricultural medicine in Tibet, so that my people will not be hungry and can be effectively healed when they are sick; Give me Tibetan craftsmen again, so that the people of Tubo can live in a warm house and be protected from the cold......" He said extremely miserable, his head fell to the ground, and he was extremely pious, treating Li Longji as a saint.
If it had been before, Li Longji would have been greatly touched by Shang Zanlu's actor-level performance, so he agreed to his request and presented it to the book craftsman to reflect the benevolence of the Heavenly Empire. But last night's after-dinner walk with Pei Min made him realize that Tubo came to Datang this time with the intention of making a fortune before tearing his face. Helping them is like a farmer who helps a snake, and he does not get any benefit.
"This remark of the foreign history moved me!" Li Longji also had a look of emotion, looking at Shang Zanlu, who was already secretly happy, and changed his words: "It's just that the books on history and agriculture and medicine were all compiled by my people of the Tang Dynasty with their wisdom and hard work, and if they are given to you like this, I will not be able to explain them." In this way, Datang is now short of military horses, and you exchange books with us with military horses. What do you think of the foreign envoys that this country should take what it needs and benefit each other? ”
Shang Zan couldn't say a word in shock, and said stubbornly: "I don't know how His Majesty the Emperor intends to exchange?" ”
Li Longji muttered: "Knowledge is priceless, wealth is counted, I will not embarrass you, as long as you prepare 100,000 troops and horses, I give you 10,000 books, what do foreign envoys think?" ”
Shang Zanxuan bowed his head and said: "The foreign minister can't be the master of this matter, and after going back to discuss with me Zanpu, he is making a decision." ”
Li Longji smiled: "Please, I am waiting for good news!" ”
Seeing Shang Zanlu leave, Gao Lishi chuckled on the side: "This Bang Barbarian is really uneasy and kind. ”
Li Longji's eyes flashed with a cold light and said, "You can see it too?" ”
Gao Lishi said: "Shang Zanlu came to ask for books on scripture and history at this time, and the purpose should be those books on the General's Mansion, as long as His Majesty allows it today." They can mix the two types of books together, books are imperial gifts, and no one will dare to check them when they go in and out of my Datang Dynasty. They could easily transport all the books to Tibet. ”
"Eat inside and out, wolf ambition! I will not be spared! Li Longji was resentful in his heart, and murderous intentions were everywhere in his eyes.
"Damn!"
Shang Zanxuan returned to the Siyi Pavilion, slammed the case in annoyance, his chest rose and fell, thinking that Li Longji did not play his cards according to common sense today, he was angry, and shouted in a low voice: "I Tubo will one day kill this Chang'an, let Li Tang know that I Tubo is the real overlord." ”
Deputy Envoy Lang Chile said on the side: "Today's things seem to be a little abnormal, we have to prepare early and send the books of the Yang Mansion out as soon as possible." ”
Speaking of business, Shang Zanlu also calmed down and said: "That being said, but 100,000 books and more than 20 carts can't fit it, how can we deliver them?" Without the cover of Emperor Li Tang, how could he not be suspected of it? Their idea was the same as Gao Lishi's guess, under the guise of Li Longji's imperial books, they mixed the precious books that Yang Ju had collected over the years, and brought them back to Tubo generously.
But now that Li Longji has rejected their demands, the method is obviously not working.
After thinking about it for a while, Shang Zan said aggressively: "The matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to bring all the 100,000 books back to Tibet. You have to find a way to inform General Yang and let him choose to sort out the works on construction and engineering technology, as well as books on medical prescriptions, medical treatises, and farming, etc., and these miscellaneous studies are the real way to strengthen the country, and as for the Confucian doctrine of distinguishing between good and evil, you can ignore it for the time being. Reducing the number of 100,000 books to 10,000 as much as possible, how to send them out, we are too high-profile to act. You contact Feng Yuan and ask him to go to the general to discuss, and let the general find a way to transport 10,000 books out of Chang'an. Then Feng Yuan arranged for manpower to answer. Remember to increase the reward from the original 30% to 60%. At this time, don't be reluctant to spend money. Knowledge is priceless, and those 10,000 books can benefit me immensely. ”
Lang Chile took the order and went.

Longevity Square Safe House.
Pei Min met with Sun Zhou again, this time only them plus Wang Xiaobai, who was in charge of liaison.
Sun Zhou is now the most important chess piece in his hands, and Pei Min doesn't want Sun Zhou to have any accidents and ruin the overall situation.
"How's it going?" Pei Min got Li Longji's permission, as long as everything is true, Tubo has the right to arrest all those involved in this matter. Now they don't lack anything, only people and stolen goods.
Sun Zhou said strangely: "Things seem to have changed, and Yang Fuzhong's books on engineering and technology, medical treatises, and farming have all been shipped away. I remember that Feng Yuan said that he wanted it all, but for some reason, he only wanted a part. ”
Pei Min naturally knows the reason, in fact, the easiest way to deal with Shang Zanlu and Yang Ju is to plan the plan, Li Longji can agree to Shang Zanlu's request today, and then stop them and search them when Shang Zanlu returns to Tibet, and everyone is stolen, simple and easy. But this only removed the power on the surface of Tubo, and the chess pieces in their shadows, that is, the power controlled by Feng Yuan, were still intact.
They wanted to wipe out the power controlled by Feng Yuan, but they had to take a difficult path and use Shang Zan's aggressive use of the chess pieces in the dark place of Tubo to respond, so that the dark chess pieces could be turned into bright pieces.
Knowing that the most practical miscellaneous books were transported, Pei Min's eyes were angry, and the miscellaneous books were the real cultural crystallization, and they were the wisdom and experience accumulated by their ancestors after thousands of years of research and accumulation, how could they allow the barbarians to steal them by this means?
He roughly talked about the fate, Sun Zhou was delicate, and he also figured out the cause and effect.
Pei Min asked, "Do you know where they hid those books?" ”
Sun Zhou shook regretfully and said: "It's all in the Yang family's ancestral house, and they are extremely careful in handling things." First, on the pretext of drying books, 100,000 books were sorted out, and then on the pretext that the mansion was not big enough to dry so much, more than 10,000 books were transported to the ancestral house in the east of the city. I informed Brother Xiaobai to follow secretly, and now the more than 10,000 books have been moved into the Yang family's ancestral house. The ancestral house of the Yang family has been abandoned for many days, and only a few housekeepers do daily care. With a little arrangement, those 10,000 books can disappear without a trace. Zhongcheng also asked Ling to send people to monitor the Yang family's ancestral home. After a pause, he said: "Even if Yang Ju reduces the number by ten times, there are more than 10,000 books, which is not a few. If you want to transport it out of Chang'an without being discovered, there must be special means. I overheard a piece of news today, but I don't know if it's useful. He didn't sell it either, and said directly: "Yang Ju has chartered a flower boat, as if he plans to invite his friends out to play." Yang Ju is rich and generous, and he spends money like water, which is well known. But he spends most of his money on women, and rarely invites people to go out to play. I have been working in Yang Mansion for many years, and it is the first time I have heard of it. So in the next guess, they may be planning to send 10,000 books out of Chang'an with a flower boat. ”
Pei Min pondered for a while and agreed: "Your thinking is very clear, and your speculation is also very reasonable. It shouldn't be wrong, with the help of Qujiang out of Chang'an, into Weishui, and send 10,000 books out of Chang'an. He calculated in his heart: It is true that there are officials cruising in Qujiang and Weishui to enforce the law, but most of the law enforcement officials are staring at merchant ships and passenger ships, and they are lenient in controlling flower ships. If there are some uninformed people on the boat, there is no need to check, and it is really a good calculation......
This is just right, and it also shows that Yang Ju is only responsible for transportation, and he must be responsible for carrying and receiving at the agreed place...... There is no doubt that those people are all Tibetan meticulous work.
It looks like I'm going to Pingkangfang......
