Chapter 726: The Prince Comes Forward
The days went on for a few more days, and the autumn wind blew more and more violently, and the fallen leaves were rolling one after another, floating indiscriminately on the streets of the city.
People should wear a thick coat to resist the cold weather. Walking in the wind, can make people cold doubt life, autumn and winter, there seems to be only one difference between snow.
The streets of Chang'an City are much quieter than usual, and on such a cold day, almost no one blows cold wind on the streets, and everyone honestly stays at home to keep warm.
However, as soon as the weather turned cold, the business of Chen Kee Shochu became more and more prosperous.
Many people know that drinking soju can drive away the cold, such a cold day, whether it is the powerful or the common people, everyone will buy a few jars of soju and drink a glass every day. Even people who don't drink much on weekdays will take a few sips, which shows how prosperous the business of Chen Kee Shochu is.
However, Chen Fei doesn't worry much about these things, and the business affairs are basically handed over to Wang Tian to take care of, and he is now honestly staying in the Qi Workshop to contribute to the future ambitions of Datang.
After Chen Fei came back, the days in the Qi Workshop remained the same. However, Chang'an City is not very peaceful.
Although the street is deserted, you can still see some exotic people wearing exotic clothes, high cheekbones, and high nose bridges hurrying around the street.
Moreover, these people would pull up a carriage or ox cart, hold a name post, and stop in front of the residence of a certain minister for a whole day.
None of the ministers, however, were willing to open the door for them, and just left them out unasked.
Those foreigners are not discouraged, they will wait for two days if they can't wait for one day, and wait for three days if they can't wait for two days. Standing like this in the cold wind, many people were blown red by the cold wind, but still nothing came of it.
Some well-meaning ministers would send their retainers and ask them to go back, while others would simply ignore them and let them stand or just disappear anyway.
After a long time, these foreigners finally couldn't hold it anymore, and left one by one with a gray face, no longer squatting at the door of the minister's house to do useless work.
One night, an idle courtyard in the alley of Chang'an City was chartered by a group of people from the Western Regions, and all the people who came in and out at night were people from the Western Regions.
"Damn it! We are all pitted by the Church of Our Lady! Ju Zhichang roared. He is the little prince of Gaochang Kingdom, and this time he was sent to the Tang Dynasty by his father Ju Wentai, and specially came to pay tribute to the Tang King, wanting to improve the relationship with the Tang Dynasty.
But things didn't go well. Li Shimin didn't receive them at all, and even some ministers who had a good relationship with them ignored them, not to mention other princes and nobles, almost all of them were closed, and no one wanted to pay attention to them.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is no point in saying these things now, although we have been used as a gun by the Holy Mother Sect, but we still have to bear the consequences, instead of complaining here, it is better to think of a way to see if there is a chance to find a breakthrough and improve the relationship with the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, you and I will inevitably be conscripted by the Tang Army." An older grade man shook his head and sighed.
The envoys of other countries were deeply touched and nodded one after another. Although the deception of the Holy Mother of God made them angry, but if you think about it carefully, it is true that you did not withstand the temptation at the beginning, and were carried away by the immediate interests, and finally ordered the troops to be sent in a daze, and finally ended up in defeat and provoked a commotion.
And the most important thing now is not to hold the Church of Our Lady responsible, but to think about how to improve relations with the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it can be expected that there will be a big battle with the Tang Army in the future than one day.
With the strength of these small countries, they can't beat the Tang Dynasty together, not to mention one-on-one, it's almost inevitable to lose.
So you have to find a way now, otherwise the situation in the future will be really dangerous!
"What can be done?" One of the envoys sighed and spread his hands, "No one wants to meet us, even if we have prepared thousands of arguments, so what? People don't give you a chance to say it at all, everything is conjecture and useless! ”
Many envoys complied. "Yes, it seems that the Tang people are very hostile to us, and they don't even have a chance to meet."
"This can only show one point, King Tang's attitude towards us is very bad, so the ministers below dare not be friendly to us, this is not a good signal!" Someone worried.
As soon as the words came out, many of the envoys turned disgraced. I have to admit that what the man said just now is the truth, and everyone has a very bad premonition in their hearts, it seems that King Tang... They will make some moves towards their country, which makes these envoys gasp in their hearts.
"Maybe it's not the worst yet." Ju Zhichang's eyes flickered, and it seemed that there were still hole cards that had not been revealed.
Everyone looked at Ju Zhichang expectantly, "Little prince, please explain, we are really desperate." ”
Ju Zhichang glanced around at everyone, and then said in a low voice: "Before this, I must confirm that everyone is in the same boat, advancing and retreating together, otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" ”
The envoys glanced at each other and felt that Ju Zhichang didn't seem to be talking big, so they agreed to him almost without much thought as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.
"We will advance and retreat with His Highness, and please make it clear to His Highness."
Ju Zhichang glanced at everyone, and chuckled when he saw that no one objected: "Verbal promises don't count, we will make an alliance, one will be prosperous, and one will be lost!" ”
"This..."When it came to the written evidence, many people hesitated, but thinking that there was no particularly good way now, their hearts were crossed, and they signed their names on the covenant.
Ju Zhichang saw that everyone had signed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Good! Since everyone is so happy, I also have good news for you, tonight I made an appointment with His Royal Highness the current crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he will come over in half an hour! ”
"What! It's actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
"Oh my God! How is this done? I went to visit a little waiter in the Ministry of Rites yesterday and refused to see me! ”
"Incredible! His Royal Highness the Little Prince really has the means! ”
Hearing that the prince was coming, the people in the house exploded one after another, which was really explosive news for them.
"Hehehe, don't get excited, I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come out and pay a certain price, but this is nothing for the predicament we are facing now. I would also like to tell you a little bit that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs a commitment from us, as long as everyone can stand in the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will have a way to solve the crisis for us! ”
"That's not a problem! I advance and retreat with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
"That's right! We've all signed the covenant, and we're all in the same place! ”
"Advance and retreat together! Advance and retreat together! The group quickly came to an agreement, and in fact, the current situation had to make them agree.
Everyone waited nervously in the house for half an hour, and finally someone outside came to report that His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty had arrived.
Hearing the news, almost everyone in the room stood up and went out to greet them. Now Li Chengqian is the so-called lifesaver in the eyes of these people! Everyone wants to catch him!
A moment later, Li Chengqian, supported by the eunuchs, appeared in front of the envoys with a proud face. His face flickered in the light of the candlelight, staring gloomily at the crowd.......
The New Year is really here, the weather is very good on the first day of the new year, and I hope everyone is in the same mood as the weather haha
