The atmosphere of Dengfeng Palace is a little weird.

Tubo, Tiele Jiu, and Later Turks are all big vassals among the vassals, and they are countries with the power of a war with the Great Zhou.

Empress Wu refused to summon him on the grounds of respecting Buddhism and handed over the reception to Quan Ce.

Quan Ce didn't show up, but only arranged for Zheng Jingsi, the servant of the imperial palace, to entertain him, arrange food and lodging, and did not meet and negotiate, showing a cold attitude.

As if yesterday reappeared, last year's New Year's Day Greeting, there was also a scene of foreign feudal lords rushing to Dengfeng on a starry night.

At that time, the three great feudal domains, were Tubo, the Later Turks and the Western Turks, and paid a heavy price, the Tubo on Qinling's own brother Siduo died, the son of the Chidu Songzanpu entered Beijing, the Later Turks were divided into two, the civil war was endless, the Western Turkic Khan Ashina Hu Sero Cifu was stationed in Beijing, withdrew from the stage of chasing deer, and the Khan was replaced by a loyal dog tamed by the imperial court.

This year, the Western Turks were divided, and their seats were replaced by the surname Tiele Jiu.

On the Qinling every day will go to the palace to walk, get always refused, after kneeling at the palace gate, then leave, do not cry or make trouble, quite perseverance.

The Qarlu and the Ba Ximi tribe of Tiele Jiu jointly signed a letter asking for sin, confessing their guilt, claiming that they were deceived by Mo Jianlian, and intervened in the Turkic civil strife without authorization, and allocated a radius of 200 miles to the grassland of Mo Jianlian, Ding Zhuang was more than 10,000 people, and he was remorseful, praying for the mercy of Haihan of the Heavenly Dynasty and forgiving the past, and the nine surnames of Zhun Tiele made meritorious service for their crimes, and sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to assist the Celestial Empire to extinguish the rebellion of Mo Jianlian.

In contrast, Yang Izhi's performance was much worse, shouting in front of the palace to see the right policy, and even trespassing into the palace without permission, the palace gate guards immediately held him down, caring about the identity of the foreign domain, did not use the sword, tied up the flowers, tied them into zongzi, and threw them to Zheng Jingsi, who was in charge of reception.

Zheng Jingsi imprisoned him and was not allowed to leave the pavilion at will.

Yang Wuzhi lost his mind, and roared with red eyes, "Quan Ce is arrogant, so I'm not afraid that I will contact Tiele and Tubo after the Turks, raise swords and soldiers, and fight with the Great Zhou?" ”

Zheng Jingsi glanced at him calmly and said coldly, "They don't dare"

"Phew, persecuted to the extreme, what else would you not dare?" Yang I finally heard someone respond, and immediately sneered at each other, and his face was full of fierceness.

Zheng Jingsi was still indifferent, "What the official said is that they don't dare"

"Are the officials of the Celestial Empire all arrogant?" Yang and I trembled a little, and my neck was stiff.

Zheng Jingsi turned his face and looked at him softly, "In two days, the Valley of Lust will arrive, and at that time, the official believes it, and you don't dare."

Yang Izhi was shocked to hear the bad news, his eyes were split, and Quan Ce shrank and couldn't see anyone, but he was waiting for the rebel in the valley of desire? "The Celestial Empire, fanning the flames, beggar-thy-neighbor, the party fighting against differences, shameless"

Zheng Jingsi's face gradually became cold and hard, and his voice was as steady as usual, "For the sake of your relationship with Quan Shilang, this official advises you, and you are quick to speak and shout wildly, in addition to making your situation worse, it will not have a side effect."

"Hehe, do you think that the Later Turks, with the status of a great domain, only offered nine warriors, which is very showy?" Zheng Jingsi's face was full of disdain, "No, it's like a clown."

Zheng Jingsi left after speaking, with fluttering sleeves, stepping on the central axis in front of the door, walking squarely, arrogant.

Behind him, Yang let out a sleepy beast-like howl, slamming the doors and windows into a crackling sound.

Imperial Palace, Buddha Hall.

Although the Empress Wu devoutly respects Buddhism, except for Shangguan Wan'er and Xie Yaohuan, there are no outsiders, and the number of etiquette that should be done, Li Dan, the prime minister, does not dare to have the slightest negligence.

"Son-in-law Li Dan, respectfully invite the mother emperor Sheng'an" Li Dan knelt and kowtowed outside the Buddhist hall.

With a squeak, the door of the hall opened, and two people walked out of it, one was the expected Shangguan Wan'er, and the other was Quan Ce.

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is well, please return"

For so many days, Shangguan Wan'er's words are the same.

Today, it sounds particularly harsh.

His mother wants to be pure-hearted, not to see anyone, his son asks for peace every morning and evening, and he can't see him, but Quan Ce can enter the house, who is close to whom?

A wave of ridiculous feelings hit, and Li Dan's face was also weird.

"Quan Ce has seen His Royal Highness the Prime Minister" Quan Ce bowed and saluted, and deliberately said more, "For the affairs of the foreign domain, the minister specially came to ask for an order"

Li Dan nodded reluctantly, stretched out his hand to signal to his peers, and said, "Da Lang is a capable person, with a little adjustment, he has made the merchants of Da Zhou a sharp weapon, dividing foreign domains, and persecuting them to the point that they have no way out, which is really incredible."

Quan Ce followed the etiquette, half a step behind, and responded calmly, "It's all Your Majesty's foresight, Quan Ce is just ordered to do it, and he doesn't dare to be greedy for heaven's work."

The Central Plains Celestial Dynasty has abundant products, excellent craftsmanship, foreign trade has always occupied an absolute advantage, as long as the force does not fall behind, can withstand the pressure, it is completely possible to make a big fuss about this, the power of the merchant has always been, but the previous dynasties are in charge, and no one wants to look at it squarely, and is not willing to take care of it.

"Well, Zheng Yushi has been taking care of trivial affairs in the past few days, treating people and things, and he is also quite strict, Da Lang knows people and is good at it" Li Dan adjusted his mood and tried to make a kind appearance, "I didn't know the details a few days ago, I was blinded, and my words were poor, Da Lang don't mind"

Quan Ce knew it in his heart, and his smile remained the same, "Your Highness is serious, it is all court business, everyone expresses their opinions, it is ordinary, change places, Quan Ce will also be outspoken"

Li Dan was stunned, heard that there was a bone in his words, and fell silent.

The two were deeply estranged, and they didn't speculate, so they walked out of the palace together and parted ways.

Two days later, the dusty Tun Desire Valley arrived in Dengfeng, asked to see him overnight, the palace gate was closed, and the Tun Desire Valley knelt all night outside the palace gate, hoarse voice, crying that Mo Jian Lian was self-reliant, not disrespectful to the Heavenly Dynasty, and he had been silently sipping crimes, and the black cauldron that did not come to the court on the New Day was also thrown to Mo Si to obstruct and refuse to borrow.

Tun Desire Valley for five consecutive days and nights, non-stop, only to arrive at Dengfeng, too late to enter the water rice, then to the palace gate kneeling and wailing, the next day dawn, the rising sun in the east, Tun Desire Valley finally could not support, vomited blood several liters, fainted in front of the palace gate.

"Carry him to the pavilion, ask the imperial doctor for treatment, and eat with him"

In the mist of the valley of desire, when he heard that someone was in charge of the assignment, his eyes reluctantly opened a line, although he couldn't see clearly, only a vague outline, but he could already conclude that the person in front of him was the right strategy.

This figure is all too familiar, it is unforgettable.

With him coming forward, he proved that the situation was still turning around, and he was relieved in one breath, and his eyes were dark, and Tunyugu completely fainted.

The people have arrived, but Quan Ce has a tricky little trouble.

"Big brother, Bao'er wants to go with you to the meeting" Li Bao'er didn't know why, she became interested in official business, and like a little tail, she wrapped around him.

"Bao'er, official business is boring and boring, and consulting with foreign vassals is even more related to the national system, there is a lot of red tape, and it is not easy to play" Quan Ce bitterly discouraged.

Li Bao'er didn't eat oil and salt, the golden beans came as soon as they were said, and they fell off with a snap, and the little face was so aggrieved that it was distressing to see people, "Yunxi's sister-in-law has been Yi Hai and Ben, and she is still competing with her eldest brother in front of the palace, why can't Bao'er?" ”

Quan Ceden choked and retorted wordlessly, "That's it, if you want to go, you can go, it's just ......"

"Don't worry, big brother, Bao'er can save it, Bao'er will make a stake, just follow the eldest brother, don't say anything, don't do anything" Li Bao'er couldn't wait to interject and promise, quite excited.

Quan Ce smiled helplessly and stroked her sideburns dotingly.
