I don't know what Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin talked about, but the order was passed to Sun Xiangfu, and it became a political task to give Li Shimin the title of 'Tian Khan'.

After listening to Wang Deyong's words, Sun Xiangfu touched his nose and said, "Your Majesty, this is a bit embarrassing!" ”

Wang Deyong said with a smile, "Hehe, Fang Xiang said, only you can do this." ”

Sun Xiangfu's eyes rolled, and he said tentatively, "That, if it is done, can I make a request to Your Majesty?" ”

Wang Deyong asked rhetorically without a little surprise, "What Young Master Sun wants to mention is, kill Wang Hao?" ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and stopped talking.

Wang Deyong persuaded, "Young Master Sun, are you a little too anxious?" Your Majesty didn't say no-kill! ”

Sun Xiangfu, who was still a little drunk, said in a calm voice when he heard this, "He doesn't die for a day, I can't sleep and eat for a day, the beauty of my Datang today is not easy to come by, and he is the person in this world who is most likely to destroy the beauty in front of him." ”

Wang Deyong knew that he could persuade Sun Xiangfu to persuade him, and said, "I can help you bring it, but since you are not an official of the Ministry of Law, you should not be so eager for this kind of punishment, and you must abide by the duties of the courtiers." ”

Sun Xiangfu didn't know this truth, and sighed, "It's not okay not to be eager!" Wei Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice assists the prince in Chang'an, I am afraid that His Majesty is too lazy to read his recitals, but Wang Hao is a very careful person, and if he is not careful, he can use a big move that is linked to each other, so that everyone can follow his rhythm, I am worried that His Majesty will be blind and unable to see the long-term trend. ”

"Okay, you told me this, I don't understand it very well, the task assigned by His Majesty, I have already passed it on to you, as a courtier, you should try your best to share the worries of the monarch, I hope to hear your good news as soon as possible, I will leave."

Wang De arched his hand towards Sun Xiangfu and walked towards the outside of the banquet hall, and the general Du Zhenglun, Wu Shi Tong, Tang Jian, Ma Zhou and others also quickly moved closer to Sun Xiangfu after he left, and Sun Xiangfu naturally did not hide it from them, and told everyone Li Shimin's thoughts.

"This matter is not necessarily that difficult, among the four major countries of Fanbang, Persia, Dashi and Tianzhu, you can come forward to talk to them, first easy and then difficult.

As for those small countries, we can communicate with them separately now, we just need to make a profit, and they won't care about these face-saving things.

The most difficult thing to solve is the problem of the Byzantine Empire and their vassals, we can actually put it aside for the time being, and it is no longer important whether they will express their support after most of them have formed a trend together. When Ma Zhou heard this, he took the lead in saying his own suggestion.

Everyone listened and nodded their heads again and again.

Li Shimin wants the title of 'Tian Khan', which is not a name for him personally, but an affirmation of the international status of the Tang Dynasty, and agrees to call Li Shimin the country of the Tian Khan, although it is not to serve the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, but it is necessary to recognize the status of the Tang Dynasty Heavenly Empire, first of all, the lord of their country can only be called the king, not the emperor, in terms of status, inferior to the Heavenly Dynasty.

In fact, when negotiating with the state of affairs, the idea of master and slave is formed, such as at the opening ceremony of the sports conference held a day later, and these people, including those who are kings, need to pay homage to Li Shimin like the Yinan Khan.

The biggest problem here is the Byzantine Empire, because they are now the suzerainty of more than a dozen countries around the Black Sea, and their population and military scale are still above the Tang Dynasty, however, in front of nearly two hundred countries, their line only represents a small part, so what is it!

Heraclius is not the emperor of the Byzantine Empire, he is just a prince, if Li Shimin is compared to his father Flavies Hiraclius, then he is at least a junior.

As for those countries that were subject to the Byzantine Empire, they were only at the kingdom level, and not all of them were lords, most of them were just some important ministers in the kingdom, and in terms of identity, they were several levels behind Li Shimin, and they may not be able to fool them into recognizing the status of the Tang Dynasty and saluting Li Shimin.

As long as you want to reach a consensus with everyone outside of their department first, and then use the general trend to coerce them to persuade them, it is much simpler.

Soon, Sun Xiangfu assigned tasks to everyone and began to act separately, Sun Xiangfu first found the Persian crown prince Yi Hei, their Sassanid Dynasty is now at the end of the crossbow, and they need to rely on the Tang Dynasty to tide over the difficulties, which is a good breakthrough.

"Prince Iji, I have already told the Ma Shilang of the mission about the situation on your side, and reported it to His Majesty the Emperor, for a friendly neighbor like yours, our Emperor Majesty is very happy to help, but this favor cannot be in vain, Your Majesty needs to give an explanation to the subjects and people, so send me to talk to you."

Hearing this, Yi Siqi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly saluted Sun Xiangfu with the Tang Dynasty's bowing etiquette, "Your Majesty the Emperor has any requests, as long as he can help us tide over the difficulties, he is the benefactor of all our Persians." ”

Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the prince is serious, you are proficient in our Han culture, when you know that the monarch on our side needs to be famous and help you Persians, you must also have a reason to say the past, just right!" If you Persians can recognize the honorific title of our Emperor His Majesty 'Tian Khan' and regard our Datang as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, we Datang can give you a certain amount of support in terms of money and food to help you tide over the difficulties. ”

Hearing this, Yi Si said with a sad face, "Let's take your Tang Dynasty as the suzerain?" ”

Although the Sassanid Dynasty has declined, it is a dynasty after all, and now, there are still more than 10 million people, and its war and economic potential are huge, such a large dynasty, with other empires as suzerain, it is a joke, what do you think of the many royal families in their country, and the few vassal states they have?

"Non-yes, non-yes, taking my Datang as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire is just a sort of political status, just like sworn brothers, you recognize the status of our Tang elder brother and eldest brother, and in some international affairs that do not involve your interests, just take the opinion of my Datang as the main thing.

This is two thoughts with our Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, our Tang Dynasty currently has only one vassal khanate, that is, Xue Yantuo, when they were called ministers, but all the territory, population, are handed over to my Tang court, just because of the inconvenient reason of governance, the emperor temporarily retained some military and political autonomy of the Yi Nan Khan, if the center of the court has conditions, this khanate can also be revoked at any time, in the future, my Tang Dynasty will always maintain this policy for the subject country, like Qiuzi, Gaochang, The current state of Tocharian and other countries is normal. ”

In a sense, the Tang Dynasty now does not accept the autonomy of the subject country at all, and the minister says that he can, first of all, the territory, population, military, and political power all have to be handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court really can't send people to govern, and some of the power of the original lord can be retained a little.

It is precisely because he knows this situation of Datang that Yi Siqi shows a look of embarrassment, but he can generally accept Sun Xiangfu's explanation, what he understands is that he has formed an alliance of interests with Datang as the head of Datang.

Of course, Yi Si is not stupid, at this time, he can't just get an empty white slip, and then said, "If we agree, what kind of support can Datang give us?" ”

"Hehe, this depends on your needs, at least, I can provide you with a loan of no less than five million yuan per year, until your crisis is resolved, it will be effective. Moreover, the export control of some of your grain and salt will be relaxed, and 10 million stone of grain and 50,000 stone of refined salt will be released every year, which is enough! This policy will continue until your crisis is resolved, what do you think? ”

Hearing the data reported by Sun Xiangfu, Yi Si swallowed his saliva unconsciously, he was familiar with Datang culture and some real-time news in Datang, so he naturally knew the price of food in Datang.

The purchasing power of 5 million guan is quite strong, and even two or three years ago, Datang's national finance and taxation did not have 5 million guan.

Based on the current grain price of more than 100 yuan per stone in Datang, at most, they only need 1.5 million yuan to buy 10 million stone of grain, and if Datang lends them 5 million yuan a year, they can completely purchase all 10 million stone of grain and 50,000 stone of refined salt, and they can also have a lot of money to buy some other non-controlled commodities, or pay their own soldiers.

That's 10 million stone grain! One stone of grain in the Tang Dynasty is one hundred and twenty catties, a soldier, eating three meals a day, only consumes about ten stones of grain a year, this ten million stone of grain is enough to help them feed a million troops, he regrets it now, if he had come to Datang earlier to ask for help, perhaps, they would not need to bow to the Byzantine Empire.

"Uh, that, I don't know, how to calculate the interest on the loan?" Finally, Izumi was not carried away by the great happiness, and asked again.

Sun Xiangfu replied very casually, "You can follow the more normal interest rate of my Datang commercial loan, and the annual interest rate will be counted as one percent!" ”

Hearing this interest rate, Yi Siqi completely believed that Datang was helping the Persians, after all, the interest rate of the merchants who are now selling goods in Datang is also higher than this.

"However, five million guan is not a small amount, in order to ensure that you can repay the loan when due, you must use a large enough territory as collateral, if you can't repay our loan on time due to your own internal reasons, this mortgaged territory will belong to our Datang."

Hearing that he needed a territorial mortgage to borrow money, Yi Siqi instinctively felt that this might be a means for the Tang Dynasty to plot Persian territory, and immediately frowned.

Seeing his expression, Sun Xiangfu explained with a smile, "Before your crisis is resolved, our promise to provide you with a loan of 5 million guan every year has been valid, that is, even if you can't pay back the money for some reason after a year, in fact, you can use the newly borrowed money to repay the money you owe before, but you need to pay 500,000 guan of interest every year." That way, you won't think we want your land! ”

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's statement, Yi Siqi's eyes suddenly lit up, it seems that he really misunderstood others just now, 500,000 guan, only 5,000 gold coins, a huge Sassanid dynasty, even if the current situation is not very good, it is not difficult to take it out.

Of course, he won't know that in the future, many people like him who borrow money will borrow more and more in the end, and go further and further on the road of debt.

However, how could a dynasty like them, which is on the road to the end of the country, be willing to give up their life-saving straw!

Under the gratitude of Yi Siqiu, Sun Xiangfu reached an agreement with him, using what he was going to do to complete a task by the way, which was a small gain, and then, Sun Xiangfu quickly moved towards his next goal.

"Mr. Burkel, are you satisfied with my Datang's food and singing and dancing?"

"Hehe, thank you Young Master Sun for your hospitality, I am not only satisfied with Datang's food and singing and dancing, but the most satisfying thing is Datang's medical treatment, after drinking that bottle of sweet potion, I really don't cough much now, and my appetite is also very good······"

"Really? That's wonderful, it's like this, our Emperor His Majesty has given me a task······"

'Routine', is a general term for easy to use means, the Arabs who grew up in the desert plateau are more difficult than the Persians, food, for them, is very important, Sun Xiangfu did not take much effort, Abu Bakr agreed to his proposal, because, before Abu Bakr set out to come to the Tang Dynasty, the Arabs were actually still in a state of multi-tribal alliance, and the empire had not yet been established.

Moreover, he saw that the Tang Dynasty's move had a tendency to provoke the Byzantine Empire, and now, the Arabs, who have become the new sworn enemies of the Byzantine Empire, naturally do not mind having one more political ally, moreover, a political ally who can provide them with various material support such as food.

As for the mother's side, it didn't take much effort, because they were originally here to show favor to Datang, push the boat down the river, and achieve their goals, for him, of course, the best.

Then, they began to inform their subjects and unify their opinions, and Tang Jian, Ma Zhou, and Wushi Tong were in charge of the side, which was also going very smoothly, because, like the Khazar Khanate and the Oguz Kingdom, which were originally against the Byzantine Empire, they basically didn't need to be persuaded to agree, and the truth of distant friendship and close attack was not only understood by the Han people, but also by foreigners.
