Back in Chang'an, the next day Wu Yuanqing entered the palace to see Li Chengqian, and as soon as he saw Li Chengqian, he asked.

General employment, used between men and women, is to give a dowry, and between countries is to establish diplomatic relations, mutual envoys and friendship.

"It's not just Tongpin, Tubo Zampu, oh, that is, their king, admires the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, wants to buy books from the Tang Dynasty, and wants to invite some craftsmen from various industries to go back to develop." Wu Yuanqing waved the national letter in his hand and said.

"That's all?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Otherwise, what else do you want?" Wu Yuanqing asked rhetorically.

"Didn't they come to pay tribute?" Li Chengqian said in surprise.

"Hehe" Wu Yuanqing sneered: "Cheng Qian, you think too much. The upper echelons of Tubo have never had any contact with my Tang Dynasty, and this is the first time that an envoy has been sent, so how can they pay tribute directly. Moreover, do you know that in the past two years, Tibet's national strength has gradually strengthened, conquering the east and west, encroaching on the surrounding small countries and small tribes, gradually expanding its territory, and supporting hundreds of thousands of soldiers. This is a powerful country on the plateau, and their Zampu, Songtsen Gampo is an ambitious, courageous, resourceful, and pioneering man, and his goal is to occupy the entire plateau. How can such a powerful country, a male lord, and an existence that is feared by neighbors in all directions obediently pay tribute to our Great Tang Dynasty."

Wu Yuanqing's explanation made Li Chengqian dumbfounded, he really didn't know that Tubo was so fierce now, in his impression, Tubo was also a slightly stronger country on the plateau, similar to Tuyuhun, he never expected it to be so powerful.

"Then what do you say, you know, I have to write a proposal for all the things that are submitted to my father." Li Chengqian said with some distress.

Let him deal with the government and he can still get it, but this is a general appointment, and the matter between the two countries, he is a little blind. Not knowing how to deal with it is one thing, and on the other hand, I don't dare to deal with it, for fear that I will make a diplomatic incident and provoke a side provocation if I do something wrong, even if it is just for him to make suggestions, it is his father who makes the final decision.

"In my opinion, all of Tubo's demands have been agreed." Wu Yuanqing said.

"Why, don't you particularly like to let other countries get the things of the Tang Dynasty, I still remember that the people of the Japanese country wanted to find Confucianism and learn things from the masters, and you were resolutely against it. Li Chengqian asked curiously.

Wu Yuanqing laughed: "Tubo is Tubo, and the Wa State is the Wa State, and the two cannot be confused. In my opinion, Tubo will eventually belong to my Tang Dynasty, but the Wa State is not, Tubo is what we want to subdue and merge, and the Wa State is to be wiped out and killed. Therefore, I can allow Tibet to develop under my control, but I never want to see even the slightest development of the Japanese state."

"Tut, your prejudice against the Japanese country is really deep, no wonder you want to protect Gao Biaoren in life and death." Li Chengqian was amazed.

"It's not a prejudice, I'm foreseeing, I'm foreseeing that the Japanese will be unfavorable to our Chinese land, so we must nip the threat in the bud in advance." Wu Yuanqing Zhengsedao.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of Gao Biaoren, I have to tell you that I am going to let him go to Honglu Temple, and I don't need you to arrange any official positions, just let him be my ordinary attaché and Wang Xuance together with Wang Xuance in charge of receiving the Tibetan envoys."

This request is not difficult, although Gao Biaoren was pushed to the end by the emperor, as long as Li Chengqian does not work against his emperor Lao Tzu to arrange a half-official position, he can make decisions about other things.

"Okay, no problem." Li Chengqian nodded: "You go back and make arrangements, and I will talk to Honglu Temple about the rest."

After leaving the palace and letting people inform Gao Biaoren and Wang Xuance, Wu Yuanqing went to the Sifang Pavilion alone. Not long after he arrived at the Sifang Pavilion, Wang Xuance and Gao Biaoren also arrived one after another.

was promoted three levels in a row, which made Wang Xuance's work enthusiasm very high, so he got the news the fastest. Gao Biaoren, after all, he has also made assassination history before, and he is a high-ranking official, so he still has a stable style. However, he was very grateful to Wu Yuanqing for his previous righteous action and saved him from exile in Lingnan.

Therefore, Gao Biaoren did not neglect Wu Yuanqing's summons at all, and he did not feel that there was anything wrong with being summoned by a hairy boy who was a former high-ranking official.

Therefore, although Gao Biaoren is calm, the speed of coming is not slow at all.

After briefly explaining the matter to the two of them, Wu Yuanqing took them to the courtyard in the Sifang Pavilion where the Tibetan envoys stayed.

"I don't know that Wu Shaoqing is coming, I miss the distance, and I hope Shaoqing won't be surprised." Shang Nang greeted him and said politely.

"Don't dare, don't dare" Wu Yuanqing replied: "It's a guest from afar, and it's a matter of my official duty to receive you well. If there is anything that is not done thoroughly, please bear with me, don't blame it."

"Where is it, Wang Sicheng did a very good job, and the hospitality was very thoughtful, don't hide it from you, the old man eats and sleeps well here, especially those delicacies that we have never eaten in Tibet." Tubo Daxiang Shangsang is a real person, the answer is very honest and sincere, speaking of delicacies, can't help but squirm in the Adam's apple, and began to swallow saliva.

Eat well, sleep well, and receive well, isn't it just to look at these two things, Shang Nang is so satisfied, Wu Yuanqing cast an approving look at his subordinate Wang Sicheng.

Got the affirmation of the boss, which made Wang Sicheng a little scared, and happy, looking at Shang Nang's eyes like looking at relatives, what a good person, I will definitely treat you more well in the future.

Wang Sicheng was excited for less than two minutes, and then he ushered in Thunderbolt, because Wu Yuanqing introduced Wang Xuance and Gao Biaoren to Shang Nang, and said that these two people would mainly receive him in the future.

Wang Sicheng's heart suddenly cooled and cool, what the hell is going on, is the boss satisfied with me or not, dissatisfied, just now he looked at me approvingly, if he was satisfied, why did he send another person to receive the Tibetan envoys.

The official is thinking too much, leaving behind Wang Sicheng, who is thinking about the boss's thoughts, Wu Yuanqing and the monk entered the house with a smile.

"Wu Shaoqing didn't just come to see us today." After the guest and host sat down, Shang Nang asked with a smile.

Wu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince attaches great importance to your arrival, so I must entertain you well. As far as possible to meet your requirements, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would try his best to fight for His Majesty about buying books and recruiting craftsmen."

"That's really great, please Wu Shaoqing must convey the old man's thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince, and if there is a chance in the future, the old man will thank the prince in person." Shang Nang said excitedly.

"Definitely, definitely." Wu Yuanqing smiled and agreed.
