Chapter 312: Lend me a thousand soldiers, and give you back a piece of the sky
Abu Adu was not very old, about forty, and had a tuft of goatee.
The face has an obvious silhouette of a person from the Western Regions, but if you look closely, it seems that there is some Central Plains blood.
It's not that Li Yuanji hasn't seen orthodox people from the Western Regions, such as Nima, that is the standard face of the Western Regions.
Abu Adu's first impression of this is that it is either a genetic mutation or a mixed race, and it is obvious that the latter is more likely.
"Junior minister Abu Adu, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty......" Xing was a little nervous, or a little excited, Abu Adu's voice was obviously a little trembling, not like an important minister of a country at all.
Compared with Li Yuanji, who is calm and free, he is even more underground and heavenly.
"Excuse me!" Casually glanced at it and greeted casually.
As a state of etiquette and as an emperor, Datang should maintain the dignity of the state of etiquette, but Li Yuanji's every move at this moment makes people unable to see a trace of the temperament of a state of etiquette.
Still sitting on the recliner, as if sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, the pastries in his hand are still the same, even if there is no new seat for people.
The palace people in the back carried the stool in their hands, and they were stunned there, the emperor didn't give an order, who dared to take the stool over?
"Minister, Emperor Xie, His Majesty Longen!" Abu Aduke didn't have the heart to care about any etiquette or non-etiquette, and the whole heart was fluttering, as if he couldn't jump out.
In fact, as early as the moment he entered the Taiji Palace, Abu Adu had already surrendered.
It is impossible to take the initiative to speak, it is impossible for a lifetime, as an emperor, he is too busy all day to do it, and he summons Abu Adu to come, naturally knowing that he has something to say.
Seeing that Li Yuanji did not take the initiative to speak, but continued to look at the performance in front of him with plausibility, Abu Adu hesitated.
It happened that the performance at this time was at the end of the day, and taking advantage of the gap, Abu Adu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The minister has brought some high-quality products from Shanshanguo and wants to present them to His Majesty the Emperor." ”
As soon as Abu Adu finished speaking, someone came up from behind him with gifts.
People are naturally palace people in the Taiji Palace, and only Abu Adu enters the palace, and the entourage can't enter or anything.
Well, there was no rehearsal, these palace people were waiting on the sidelines, and it wasn't until Abu Adu said this sentence that they walked out directly.
Everything felt as if it had been arranged by himself, and Abu Adu was faintly excited.
But it's just a breath of effort, which can only show that the Tang Dynasty has strict rules and has a relationship with itself?
"Well, although the courtesy is light, the affection is not light, I accept it!" Li Yuanji glanced lightly and said casually.
In fact, Li Yuanji only glanced at those things, and then lost interest.
What specialties can Shanshan have? It is nothing more than some ceramic decorations, plus some murals and the like, although exquisite, it also shows the friendship between Shanshan and the Tang Dynasty.
But what does it have to do with yourself? Is it possible to keep these things well, and wait until the day when the Tang Dynasty is really gone, leaving them to the descendants of a thousand years later as family heirlooms and auctioning them to live a good life?
The devil knows if he will give a little red book, and then he will take it for you for 500 yuan.
So for myself, instead of sending these ornaments, or something that makes future generations have archaeological significance, it is better to send some gold and silver, and Datang is now lacking these things.
Li Yuanji's words made Abu Adu embarrassed.
What Li Yuanji said is right and not right.
In fact, these things are indeed not of high value, but they are not easy to obtain in Shanshanguo, especially the mural, which Abu Adu summoned hundreds of top craftsmen to complete in a month.
However, Li Yuanji's words are also very profound, although the courtesy is light, the affection is not light.
Then, an awkward conversation began.
One is Li Yuanji, who will not take the initiative to find words, and the other is Abu Adu, who is holding back words in his heart, but he can't find a suitable opportunity to speak, and the scene is a little embarrassing for a while.
It was Song Zhong who greeted Abu Adu with a very good look, signaling that if he had something to say, he would say it directly, His Majesty doesn't like those vanity, which made Abu Adu make up his mind to say what was in his heart.
"The minister wants to borrow a thousand ......soldiers from His Majesty," Abu Adu beat a drum in his heart, and secretly aimed at Li Yuanji as he spoke, careful that his liver was about to jump out again.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll spread the word about this?" Li Yuanji glanced at Abu Adu, and secretly said that he really didn't guess wrong.
Abu Adu's face was suddenly stunned, and he said a little ugly: "The minister is very afraid, but the minister thinks that His Majesty should not spread this matter." ”
"Why?" Li Yuanji smiled slightly and asked.
Hearing this, Abu Adu was also completely relieved.
Although Shanshan is not as good as the Tang Dynasty and has a small population, it is a country after all.
Shanshan is close to the Tang Dynasty, and naturally has also been influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, the subtlety of the Central Plains people, although it makes people feel very awkward, but in fact it feels very good, well, refers to the feeling of pretending to X, only half of everything is said, and the desperate cow is broken.
Abu Adu, who also likes this trick, how could he not hear what Li Yuanji meant?
Whether this matter will be revealed depends on whether the benefits you give are enough.
"First of all, Xiaochen's grandfather is a Tang person, although Xiaochen has never seen his grandfather, and even Xiaochen's father has never seen his grandfather, but Xiaochen does have the blood of the Tang Dynasty in his body, and he can be regarded as half a Tang Dynasty." Abu Adu first told his life story, in Shanshanguo, his life story is a very shameful story, his grandmother had a relationship with the members of the Sui Dynasty caravan when she was young, and then the caravan left, his father appeared, and then that's it.
But in Shanshanguo, it is a shameful disgrace, but in Datang, it is the best reason to get closer to the relationship between the two sides, and it is also one of his advantages.
But then it was Abu Adu who was disappointed, from Li Yuanji's expression, he couldn't see any fluctuations, as if he hadn't heard anything, obviously, he didn't care about his life experience, so he could only continue:
"Since he was a child, Xiaochen will find a way to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty and accept the ideas of the Tang Dynasty, for this reason, the minister also took a Chinese name for himself, but he didn't know his grandfather's surname, so he could only have a name, but no surname. When Xiaochen became an adult, he always worked hard to do something...... (omit 10,000 words) What the minister did was just to return to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty, but just one person came back, and the minister was unwilling, so he wanted to bring the entire Shanshan back. ”
Abu Adu's conditions are very tempting, borrow him 1,000 soldiers, and return you a Shanshan country.
The investment is obviously not proportional to the return, but it is the other way around, and such a good thing cannot be encountered in any dynasty.
But if a man is not a sage, who is willing to take the risk of doing something that is not beneficial to himself?
Is it really feelings? Regardless of whether there is such a person in this world or not, he doesn't believe it anyway.
"If I only allow you to become a member of the Tang Dynasty, are you still willing to do so?" Li Yuanji couldn't help but ask.
Abu Adu's face suddenly stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, becoming a member of Datang, that is, having the identity of a civilian in Datang, that is, an ordinary person.
Although with his own continuation, he can still live a good life here, but the power or something will be completely goodbye to himself.
My heart was full of bitterness, but I knew that I couldn't refuse, otherwise, it would be one thing to be able to return to Shanshan alive, or whether I would dare to return to Shanshan.
"The minister is willing, the minister has been frightened over the years, and there is nothing wrong with returning to the civilian." Abu Adu nodded lightly, as if he was a little deflated, but when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, Nima could get benefits from that goods, if he really did this, according to what Nima said, he should at least get a richer reward, right?
At the thought of the temptation, Abu Adu couldn't help but regret his performance just now.
"Ungrateful? I can't do it yet! Li Yuanji chuckled and shook his head, the flip just now was indeed just a temptation.
Even if Abu Adu wants to come to Chang'an to be a civilian, he will never agree, otherwise the road behind him will not be able to walk, and he has made such a great contribution, so he has to be rewarded, right?
continued: "If you can succeed, I will crown you as the king of Shanshan, but Shanshan has nothing to do with you. ”
Shanshan Wang......
Abu Adu's heart burst into ecstasy, what does King Shanshan mean? This time they came to elect Li Yuanji as the Khan of Heaven, which of these countries will change kings in the future, and it must be canonized by Li Yuanji to be considered legitimate, although they are very aggrieved, but in this era of the jungle, they can only do this.
If you can't get the canonization of the Tang Emperor, it means that you can't get the protection of the Tang Dynasty, and the problems you will encounter will be big.
But......
"The minister doesn't quite understand...... "Abu Adu is a little confused, since he has named himself the king of Shanshan, how can he have nothing to do with Shanshanguo?"
"Shanshan returns, naturally not for the country, Your Majesty named you the king of Shanshan, is to reward you for your contributions, since Shanshan goes to the country, Shanshan naturally has nothing to do with you, then you can find a place to live in Chang'an, build a mansion according to the standards of the county king, and enjoy the treatment of the county king." Song Zhong explained with a very good eye, although his political consciousness was not good, he still understood what Li Yuanji meant.
"This ......" Abu Adu was completely confused.
This special meow is to make yourself an idle king, except for the treatment, everything else has nothing to do with you.
Oh, by the way, he still has the name of King Shanshan, but he has no power, what's the use of asking for this name? As the king of the county, do you go out to show off?
"Not only you, but all the kings of the Tang Dynasty in the future, including my prince!" Li Yuanji said lukewarmly.
The best way to deal with infighting is to not give them a chance to fight.
I don't have any ability, and I can't think of any tricks, the only thing I can do is to order a ban, except for the crown prince, no prince is allowed to participate in any political affairs, their task is to eat, drink and have fun, and live the life of an idle prince.
Money and power are things that can make people bad, and the three brothers came to this point only after they had money and power.
And using this method as a foreign country, so that they have no leader, can also better absorb it.
