After the end of the Shangyuan Festival, not all the envoys of Fanbang returned.

However, what was left was not because Datang did not give many gifts, but because there was a request from Datang.

The most obvious is Silla.

At this time, Silla had just ended the reign of the True Saint Queen and ushered in the reign of Kim Yao, that is, the historical King Hyogong, but King Hyogong was a nickname.

The Shinseong Queen is also the third queen of Silla.

Since ancient times, there have been few powerful kingdoms ruled by women, Wu Zetian is an exception, and the True Saint Queen is not an exception.

When the true holy queen Jinman succeeded to the throne, there was a situation in Silla that "the prefectures and counties did not lose tribute, the treasury was empty, and the state was poor", so she sent people to the local government to urge taxes, and as a result, in the third year of Qianning (889 AD), Yuanzong and Ainu rose up in Shavar.

As a result, peasant uprisings broke out throughout Silla, and local wealthy clans became self-reliant, and the central government of Silla was unable to clean up the chaos, and the ruling order quickly collapsed, and the Korean Peninsula fell into a state of division again.

Among them, the Gong descendants claimed to be descendants of the Silla royal family, and they were self-reliant, occupying Tieyuan in the northeastern part of Silla and rebelling against the Silla court; Zhen Xuan captured Wuzhenju and occupied the southwest of Silla.

The post-Three Kingdoms period in history has now taken shape.

Moreover, Gong and Zhen Xuan are only two of the larger resistance forces within Silla, and other resistance forces abound.

To be precise, Silla at this time was like the previous situation where the Tang Dynasty was divided, and the rebellion continued.

In such a situation, the True Saint Queen can only be located in her nephew Jin Yao.

After Jin Yao ascended to the throne, he ordered an embassy to be sent to Chang'an, hoping to get the support of the Tang Dynasty and quell the rebellion in the country, which was also the reason why the Silla mission did not return for a long time.

It was not that the Silla delegation was reluctant to leave, but that the Silla king Kim Yu sent another delegation after succeeding to the throne, hoping to get the support of the Tang Dynasty.

But it is not so easy to get the support of Datang.

But this time, in order to win the support of the Tang Dynasty, King Kim Yao of Silla also tried his best to once again send Cui Zhiyuan, who has the status of a foreign student, as the chief envoy, and his son-in-law Park Jinghui as the deputy envoy.

Originally, Cui Zhiyuan had sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty at the behest of the True Holy Queen in the seventh year of Qianning, but because he happened to encounter the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, he could not go to Chang'an and was forced to return.

The reason why Cui Zhiyuan was sent is because he has the identity of a student in Datang, Zeng Jinshi and the first, and has many old friends in Datang, and he, as a regular envoy, will be of greater help to this mission.

However, since Cui Zhiyuan left the Tang Dynasty and returned to Silla in the fourth year of Zhonghe (884), although he also made an envoy to the Tang Dynasty on the way, he returned in vain, and even Chang'an did not arrive.

This caused him to not know much about today's Datang, this time he went to Chang'an, what he did was to understand the current situation of Datang and see if any of his friends back then could help him.

After he learned about it, he was a little disappointed, he didn't expect that thirteen years had passed, and things had long been different. Most of the friends he met in Datang more than ten years ago have returned to the loess, and although some of them are still alive, they are not in Chang'an and cannot help him.

However, today's Chang'an surprised him.

When he left Datang, Datang was still in turmoil, and it is rumored that Chang'an was also broken and destroyed by Huangchao, but now that he looks, there are no traces of destruction, and it is more prosperous than when he left Chang'an twenty years ago.

At that time, Chang'an was lifeless, not as magnificent as the Tang Dynasty in the past, but now it is revealing a lot of subduing momentum.

"Cui Yuanjun, when did the Tang Emperor summon us? We have been in Chang'an for more than a month, but we still haven't been summoned by the Tang Emperor. ”

His father-in-law has just become the king of Silla, and Park Jinghui's heart is also very high, but Park Jinghui, who doesn't know Datang, still lacks awareness of the gap between Silla and Datang.

Silla, whether it is population or military strength, is only at the level of the Tang Dynasty.

During Cui Zhiyuan's study abroad, although the Tang Dynasty declined, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it was not something that Silla could offend, let alone the Tang Dynasty, which has now begun to flourish.

"Pu Yuma, Datang is our suzerain, and we can't decide when the Holy Lord will summon us." Cui Zhiyuan, who is already in his forties, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the young and vigorous Park Jinghui.

"Didn't Cui Yuanjun study in the Tang Dynasty, and he also became a scholar and a scholar, and got acquainted with many literati in the Tang Dynasty, isn't there any way?" Park Jinghui was a little dissatisfied.

"Pu Juma, it has been more than ten years since Xiaguan left Datang, and he has long been a human being. During this time, Xiaguan was also asking people to inquire in many ways, hoping to find the right person to help Silla say good things in front of the saint, so that the saint could summon me and others. Cui Zhiyuan patiently explained.

Without waiting for the chat between the two to end, Cui Zhiyuan's younger brother Cui Qiyuan walked in and bowed, "Brother, Honglu Temple Qinggui Shangguan (Guiren Shao) Mansion sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he asked my brother to go to Gui Mansion for a banquet tomorrow evening." ”

"Really?" Cui Zhiyuan stood up excitedly, "It seems that Brother Renze should have written a letter to his brother, if the official can help me and others pass the word, it is more likely to be summoned by the saint." ”

"Cui Yuanjun, what are you writing a letter?" Park Jinghui was a little puzzled.

Cui Zhiyuan explained with a smile, "Park Juma doesn't know, Honglu Siqing Gui Renshao's younger brother Gui Renze is a Jinshi in the same year as Xiaguan, and he has some friendships. However, Gui Renze was transferred to manage the economy slightly, otherwise with this relationship, I wouldn't have waited so long.

It is the duty of Honglu Temple to receive our mission, and if Honglu Temple can help, the purpose of our trip will be half successful. ”

"I didn't expect Cui Yuanjun to have this relationship." Park Jinghui was a little surprised.

"Park is also ready, and he will go to the banquet with his subordinates tomorrow."

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Cui Zhiyuan's mood was much better, and he began to prepare the gifts he needed for tomorrow's banquet, and Park Jinghui's attitude towards Cui Zhiyuan was also much better.

。。。。。。

"Your Majesty, now that Nanzhao is in civil strife, but the Qingping official Zheng Maihei holds the power of Nanzhao and sets up a new king, it is not the most appropriate time to send troops to Nanzhao at this time.

The minister thought that he should fight steadily and firmly control the Huichuan Governor's Mansion, so as not to make a backslaught. ”

Daming Palace, on the polo field of the East Inner Garden, Li Sizhou, the squire of the military department, was giving advice to Li Ye.

"King Qin, what's wrong with today? Aren't they all belligerent? Why did you suddenly become stable? Li Ye looked at the other party and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, Nanzhao is different from other wars, Nanzhao is my old enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and all the previous emperors have not been able to break Nanzhao. Now Nanzhao is just a little chaotic, but it has not reached the point of fighting each other, if my Tang army rushes forward, it is very likely that the previous achievements will be wasted.

Moreover, Duan Baolong's return to Datang is just for self-protection, not sincerely, and he also needs to guard against this person. ”
