.

When he heard this shout, Li Ke was stunned, and his slap abruptly stopped in mid-air without falling, and then a clever man, pretending to be stupid, looked at the guards outside the hall. Seeing this, the high priest who was dressed as a monarch was very unhappy, and he wanted to kill the person kneeling in front of him, as well as the turtle messenger.

But there was no way, the high priest did not dare to do so. Because compared to Qiuzi, the Turks are only a slightly larger city, and if they really kill this envoy, it will be equivalent to offending the entire Qiuzi. Therefore, the high priest had no choice but to hold back the resentment in his heart for the time being, and waved his hand to signal Li Ke to rest first, afraid that Li Bai would cry and be rude in front of the messenger. Then he said to the guards outside the temple: "Go, and ask the messenger to come and see you!" ”

"Yes, King!"

The guards outside the temple responded, and then retreated.

And say, it's a coincidence! This turtle envoy is none other than Hou Gui. After he said goodbye to Li Ke and returned to Qiuzi that day, he handed over the ship and met the king, which was a complete success. As he expected, when the king of Qiuzi Kingdom saw the mud boat, he was really angry, and said, 'King Tang is really too deceitful', so he immediately fell to pieces.

But when he was angry, this monarch might really have some Buddhist cultivators, and he calmed down after a while, thinking: 'This mud boat was given by Tang Zhongzong's imperial pen himself, if he knew that I smashed this mud boat, it would definitely be a great crime of disrespect or rebellion, and he would attack me for this reason.' No, you can't. Thinking about this, the king of Qiuzi was shocked and full of regret, and suddenly his mind turned, and he came up with an idea, and called the craftsman to order: "Go, burn a mud boat for this king." ”

The craftsman was helpless, he only saw a bunch of sparse pieces, and he had never seen the real body of the mud boat, so he didn't know how to imitate it. At this moment, Hou Gui took the opportunity to stand up and said: "King, leave this difficult task to the villain, although it is difficult to imitate the burning mud boat, the villain is quite knowledgeable." Within a few days, the villain set to burn an original mud boat for the king, ensuring that even the workmanship details were exactly the same. ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" The monarch said: "Remember to be realistic, if the Tang King knows that it is fake, everyone present will not have any good fruit to eat!." ”

"Yes, King!" Hou Gui assured, saying: "The villain must be burned so that people can't tell the truth from the fake." ”

"Very good!" Seeing that the urgent need had been solved, the monarch was very happy in his heart, so he asked Hou Gui: "This time you have made a meritorious contribution to the ship, say, what reward do you want?" Gold and silver jewelry, or a fiefdom of beauty? Take your pick. ”

"Back to the king!" Hou Gui said: "The villain does not want gold, silver and jewelry, nor does he want a fief of beauty. ”

"Oh?" The monarch of the country of Qiuzi was surprised and asked, "Then what do you want?" Let's hear it, as long as this king can give it, he will never refuse. ”

"King Qiqi!" Hou Guishi saluted, then unhurriedly, and said: "The villain still has some family in the Turks, and the king should know." But the hateful thing is that there are always some ruffians and hooligans to harass them, and even set fire to their homes, which really makes the villain a headache and worried. Therefore, I also asked the king to be gracious and set up a holy decree to the king of the Turkic country, telling him to protect the villain's family, otherwise if there is really something like three long and two short, the villain does not know whether he can live. ”

The monarch of Qiuzi was not stupid, and he could hear the meaning of Hou Gui's words, but he did not expose it, but agreed with a smile.

But what Hou Gui didn't expect was that he had just received the holy order of the monarch, and not long after leaving the palace, he suddenly received the bad news that something had happened to the Turks. In all kinds of anxiety and worry, Hou Gui wanted to leave immediately, but there were too many facts about Nai Guizi's business, and he couldn't get out at all. However, when he heard that there was no big problem in the Li Mansion, he was a lot more relieved, and Li Ke also sent a message to him not to worry, and to get busy with business first; Hou Gui complied.

A few months later, after these trivial matters were finally completed, Hou Gui took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion day to rush to the Turks and asked to see the Turkic monarch as an envoy. Therefore, there is the scene of Fang Cai; Because of this, under the mistake of the sun, he saved Li Bai in time and told him not to be slapped by Li Ke.

Soon, I saw Hou Gui taking off his clothes and walking quickly, following the guards outside the hall to the front of everyone, and the high priest who was dressed as a monarch gave a salute, and praised each other for Dao'an.

Li Ke and Yuewa were surprised when they saw that it was Hou Gui, but they didn't think much about it, for fear that Li Bai would be rude and run to find Hou Gui. So he and Yuewa gave a look, and took advantage of the fact that the monarch and those civil and military generals were not paying attention, pulled Li Bai into his arms to comfort him, and began to speak kindly, persuading Li Bai not to be stubborn and drink the monarch's toast.

"King Qiqi!" At this time, Hou Guihu took out a letter, handed it in front of him, and said: "I am ordered by the king of Qiuzi to take advantage of this mid-autumn festival night to send a letter of worship to the king. ”

"Come on, bring it up!"

The guard took it, and then gave it to the high priest.

As a result, if you don't look at it, you just look at it, and when you look at it, you will immediately be angry with the high priest. Looking at it, I saw that on this prayer post, it was actually written: 'Because this king is happy; Therefore, the Li Ke family was set up and down, both inside and outside, whether men or women, old or young, pigs, sheep, cattle and horses, chickens, dogs, cats and ducks, all of them were special envoys of the Guizi country. After that, the small Turkic countries should treat each other with courtesy, and when they see the envoys, they will be like seeing the king in person. If the small kingdom dares to be disrespectful to you, or if the envoy has any other strengths and weaknesses, then the king will send troops to fight you. ’

Simple, domineering, clear, strong!

Although all the countries outside the country want to curb it, it is difficult to resist its charm and make countless people love it; This Turtle Kingdom is one of them.

In front of Qiuzi, the Turks are small countries, and there are no words to respect them. The monarch came up with an idea, wanting to take this opportunity to write this tribute post into a Tang Dynasty script, ridiculing the Turkic monarch for not understanding it, and letting him make a fool of himself in front of all the civil servants and military generals on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's just that because the Tang script is too complicated, the monarch of this Qiuzi country is not very proficient in what he has learned. Therefore, he asked Hou Gui to write it on his behalf, and as a result, there is this scene.

"Dare to ask the king, have you read it all?" At this moment, Hou Gui suddenly said again: "My king said that the courtesy is still exchanged, and after the king has read it, he will also ask the book to write a letter of worship to return the respect." After all, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the night of reunion should be happy. ”

Hearing this, the high priest who was dressed as a monarch was angry, his fists clenched to death, and his eyes seemed to breathe fire outward. But if there is no rut, there is no rut, and if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and the Turks really can't afford to offend Qiuzi, so the high priest had to hold back and say, "The messenger has come from afar, and he must be tired, right?" Please, enter the table first, eat and drink and rest for a night, and this king will send someone to deliver the post tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, King!"

Hou Gui finished speaking, saluted and flirted his clothes, and turned around, and wanted to go to Li Ke and sit down. But he never expected that after only four steps, Li Bai suddenly stood up on the ground, and said angrily at Li Ke and Yuewa: "Dad, mother, why do you have to force me to drink?" Is it wrong for me to eat osmanthus mooncakes? ”

"Bai'er!" Li Ke continued to persuade: "Good, don't make trouble, go and make amends to the king, and then ask for that toast and drink it!" Have you forgotten what your mother told you? ”

"Good!" Li Bai finally couldn't hold back and dropped the golden bean, but he didn't cry. After thinking about it, he said, "I drink, can't I drink?" ”

Li Bai said as he wiped his eyes and saw the golden bean, walked to the maid with the poisonous wine, raised his hand and wanted to take it and drink it. When the high priest saw this, he was frightened half to death, and hurriedly said, "Wait a while, you can't drink this wine!" ”

"Why can't you drink it?"

"Because there is a ...... in this wine" The high priest, who was dressed as a king, was not in a hurry to say that he was in a hurry, and changed his words, "You can't drink it anyway." ”

"I'm just going to drink!"

"I can't drink it!"

"If you tell me not to drink it, I won't drink it?" Li Bai became even more incomprehensible at this time, and let him drink for a while, and didn't let him drink for a while, which made him angry. Then, he became stubborn and said, "Hmph! I want to drink it! ”

After that, Li Bai grabbed the cup of poisonous wine and drank it.
