Princess Taiping's Mansion.

Quan Ce's purple official robe was neatly dressed, and he visited the palace to discuss the handling of foreign feudal affairs.

He presided over political affairs in the court, although he didn't care much about the subsections, the rules were very strict, and he never trespassed, and the will of the Empress Wu was that the two of them would take care of the affairs of the foreign domain together, and the princess Taiping should be higher in rank, so she should be the main one, no matter what the truth is, the necessary posture and action cannot be missing.

"This set of clothes is very ugly, I don't like it, hurry up and go to the dormitory to change and come back" before taking a look, the smile on the corners of Princess Taiping's eyebrows and eyes converged, and she pushed him with her brows twisted, urging Quan Ce to change her clothes.

Quan Ce just laughed, and used a little strength in his hand, not only was he not pushed away, but he also took her into his arms, and laughed, "The official robe is to be worn after all, as the saying goes, love the house and Wu, you look at me a few more times, and then look at the purple robe, maybe you like it"

Princess Taiping leaned her face on his chest, pinched the beauty fist, and slapped him a few times in annoyance, since the relationship has changed, Quan Ce is no longer well-behaved in the past, between getting along, although he still respects her, but the overall strength is much stronger, let him obey his words, but it is difficult to do it anymore, vent some nameless resentment, wrap his hands around, hold Quan Ce tightly, and hand over his weight, soft as boneless.

"I came here with this appearance, it must be for official business, so I don't want to see you" Princess Taiping brushed her hair and rolled her eyes, already guessing the meaning of Quan Ce.

Quan Ce nephrite jade was warm and fragrant in his arms, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so he hurriedly settled down, picked her up by the waist, found a couch and sat down, and talked about business in a harmonious voice, "This New Year's Day, there are many Chaohe clans, are you interested?" ”

"Yes" Princess Taiping lazily squeezed into his arms, talking about business like this, it didn't seem to be boring, she cocked her nose, and said coldly, "I'm quite interested in the woman surnamed Lu in Tubo, you have traveled thousands of miles to get her to Shendu, but what bad intentions do you have?" ”

Quan Ce's originally serious face couldn't help but smile, gently stroked Princess Taiping's bun, and said softly in her ear, "Wu Lu Xie'er is a mascot, no Lu clan and Tubo Zanpu Chidusong family have a righteous name, and there is the blessing of Bon, and it is gradually improving, on Qinling is a powerful minister, it is not right, and now the foundation is shaking, and the situation of the weak and strong ministers of Tubo has been greatly improved, and the Celestial Empire is intervening at this time to support the Lu clan and Chidusong, one can increase the political influence on the Tubo Plateau, The two can put the ambitious Lun Qinling in a doomed catastrophe and remove the trouble of Sisai's henchmen."

Princess Taiping closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth smiled, she believed that Quan Ce must have a plan, and it would not have anything to do with women, Fang Cai was just a little daughter who was angry for a while, looking for a fault, but he was serious about eight hundred to solve her doubts, and his serious and gentle voice made her heart spring breeze.

"Well, you are a good calculator, I can't get you, and you ask me what to do?" Princess Taiping raised her chin and squinted at him, and had another little temper, they had fought each other, at that time, Quan Ce was not as gentle as he is now.

Quan Ce's eyebrows fluttered, quite proud, "That's nature"

Raised his hand and grabbed the jade hand that Princess Taiping called angrily, and her expression was solemn again, "I deliberately set up some obstacles from the head, adjust the nine surnames of Tiele, further weaken the Later Turkic Mo Si and Mo Jian Lian, support the Tubo Wu Lu clan, and by the way, also test the loyalty of other vassals, but I have fought too much, and my anger is too heavy, and I will take action, which is too alarming, and I am afraid that the results will be limited......"

Quan Ce held Princess Taiping's jade hand with both hands, put it to his lips and touched it, and looked at her with a thick gaze, "I need you"

Princess Taiping looked at him softly, even if she tried to be patient, she still couldn't hold back the bright smile on her face, she was a strong self-character, but after all, she was a woman, and it was a great joy to be needed by the man on the tip of her heart.

"Tell me about it, I'll help you"

Quan Ce lingered in Princess Taiping's Mansion for most of the day, and only left after lunch.

Not long after he left, Princess Taiping sent the governor of the palace to summon Yan Shansi, the official Shangshu of the Chunguan, Deng Huaiyu of Honglu Temple, Huan Yanfan of Guanglu Temple, Wu Chongxing, the supervisor of Shaofu and others, and discussed until late at night.

The next day, the foreign envoys handed over the tributes to the Honglu Temple and the Shaofu Supervisor according to the rites, which was a regular process, and it was a formality to check and accept.

The tributes of the outer domains were directly into the emperor's inner treasury, and the stalls were spread out by the Shaofu supervisors, and the Honglu Temple was mainly responsible for the auxiliary duties of roll call and maintaining order.

Wu Chongxing is only fourteen years old this year, not very old, sitting on the stone steps, his legs are wide open, quite a bit of the momentum of a tiger standing on the dragon plate, looking down on the long column of foreign envoys and the boundless tribute convoy.

He participated in the whole process of today's tribute, and he sat there without saying a word, but it brought great pressure to the officials and servants of Honglu Temple and Shaofu Prison.

The officials of the Honglu Temple raised their names to take a roll call.

A diminutive official of the Japanese mission stepped forward tremblingly and handed over the survey papers.

The official of Honglu Temple picked it up with two fingers, flipped it over, verified that it was correct, waved his hand, and a large number of short servants pushed dozens of carts forward, each in place, and began to unload the goods.

"Order, the Wa Kingdom salutes the Celestial Empire, the Governor of the Ping Domain Fusang Prefecture has merit, this year to congratulate, take its tribute, estimate its value, and give back three times the silk and tea of the Celestial Empire"

Wu Chongxing suddenly spoke, and his voice resounded through the long street.

"Yes, Grandpa" The officials of the Celestial Empire listened to the order, methodically counted and estimated, and dispatched materials.

The officials of the Japanese mission figured out the reason, hesitated for a long time, and then bowed down to thank him, and secretly made a look, there was already an entourage running away, the direction was the Sifang Pavilion, and it should be to return to their master, Lu Ye Zanliang.

After the completion of the tribute and reward of the Wa Kingdom, the roll call official of Honglu Temple cautiously looked in the direction where Wu Chongxing was located, and shouted Silla, but Wu Chongxing was indifferent.

……

"Tibetan Tribute"

"Order, the great minister of Tubo said that Qinling was good at opening swords and soldiers, tyrannical nature, although he was lost and knew that he had returned, and returned to the right path, but his things were stained with blood and blood, and they were not auspicious, so they did not take their tribute, so that they were transported back as they were."

"Collect the tribute of the Tubo confiscated Lu clan, estimate its value, and give gold at ten times the price"

Wu Chongxing spoke again.

When the Tibetan delegation was in a messy manner, the representative of the Lu clan rushed forward to receive the return, and on the Qinling side, he pushed the carriage and horse and returned the same way.

……

"Tiele Nine Surnames Tribute"

"The herald, Tiele nine surnames in the two divisions of Ge Lulu and Ba Ximi, there are bullying the weak, cruel and tyrannical things, there is a dry heaven and peace, do not take its tribute, as a warning, the leader of the Hui Department Tu Mi Du Yi Bo Yuntian, can help the wind, accept the tribute, with ten times the silk, salt tea in return, the rest of the tribute, do not give back"

Wu Chongxing gave the order.

The people surnamed Tiele Jiu made a commotion, and it seemed that there was an obstruction and pushing action, and the Gelulu and Basimi tribes headed by them could not pay tribute themselves, and they also had to coerce the other seven departments not to pay tribute.

"Whoosh......" A feathered arrow flew out, shooting the most ferocious Tiele envoy into the heart.

Wu Chongxing pointed at the halberd and scolded, "Bastard, the Great Zhou Shendu, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you allow Er's to be rampant?" Act quickly according to the order, and if you dare to make another mistake, this official must not wait."

When the long street came quiet, a team of men and horses crashed out of the Tiele Nine Mission, and pushed the tribute up.

"Honorable officials of the Great Zhou, we are from the Hui Ministry, according to the instructions of the nobles, we should have ten times the amount of silk and salt tea."

The officials of the Shaofu Prison frowned slightly, and quietly glanced at Wu Chongxing, the scale of the tributes of the Hui Ministry has swelled too much, and the tributes of the other departments must have been collected a little, and they want to make a profit.

Wu Chongxing sneered, threw his bow and arrows, and brushed his sleeves away.

It's not worth caring about just a few things, and it's serious to do a good job of the errand that the eldest brother explains.
