The envoys to the two great powers of Turkic and Tibetan are the top priorities for the Tang Dynasty, so the people selected are often high-ranking officials such as Hongluqing or Shaoqing, or eloquent people like Huangfu Weiming. Even so, it is not without risk, and although the detention of envoys is only occasional, it is not uncommon. If you want to say that Zhang Xing went, it is not a humble official, he used to be the secretary of the Longyou Jiedu, and tried to supervise the imperial history, even if the latter is just a false title, not a real position, but it still makes him have a corresponding identity, and it is almost the same as hanging a Honglu Cheng.

Since it was appropriate to receive Du Shiyi's face-to-face teaching, Zhang Xing immediately prepared quietly. When Feng Changqing came to see him, he saw a thick stack of books piled up on his desk.

I didn't sleep all night last night, and at this time, Feng Changqing's eyes were bloodshot, and his spirit was a little sluggish, but seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but ask: "Zhang Lang, ...... is this?"

"The marshal recommended me to be an envoy to Tibet to visit Princess Jincheng, although there is no clear letter yet, but I should be prepared first, so as not to rush things."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Changqing was taken aback: "Zhang Lang is the heart of the handsome, and it is difficult to leave for a moment, but now he is far away from Tibet, and it will take three or five months to return." And when he goes to make a major mission, is there no one in the court, but he wants to send someone to Longyou? ”

If it weren't for Du Shiyi, who said something else to him after ordering the general, even if he was as thoughtful as Zhang Xing, he would inevitably mumble to himself. Therefore, seeing that Feng Changqing's face was full of incredulity, he said with a smile: "I was first the inspector of Hedong Jiedu, and then successively the commander of Hedong and Long. Now that the marshal has recommended me to serve the country, how can there be any reason to hesitate? Since ancient times, the Lord has been loyal to the Lord and righteous in things, nothing more. ”

Feng Changqing was immediately dumbfounded. Wang Zhongsi clearly rejected him, and Du Shiyi sent Zhang Xing to meet and inspect him, obviously revealing a certain intention, although this intention was only Zhang Xing invited him to follow him, but he was white, and it was also an opportunity to have such treatment. In the midst of lightning, he suddenly spoke: "In this case, I am willing to go from Zhang Lang to the capital of Tubo!" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xing couldn't help but turn his head to look at Feng Changqing in surprise, and when he saw that he looked like he was stunned, he muttered, "If you are willing to go along, I have nothing to do." If things go well, within ten days, there should be a will in the court, and you should prepare first, at least say goodbye to Gao Lang Jun, and I still need to ask the marshal for instructions. ”

If he could, Feng Changqing didn't want to see Wang Changling and Gao Shi. If it weren't for the fact that he was not familiar with the road along the way, and he was familiar with the dialects of various ethnic groups, he was afraid that the road to Helong would never be easy, so he naturally wouldn't have seen where the two people who were embarrassed at that time. But now that he is a guest and a pawn, he always can't hang his face, so when he came out of the cross-courtyard that had almost become Zhang Xing's private house, he thought about it for a long time, and then decided to cheer up and go to see Wang Changling and Gao Shi, and make the confession clear, as for what they thought of him, he couldn't care!

He is not as good as them, although he was lonely and poor when he was young, but at least he has the opportunity to impress the state and county magistrates, and he is really unwilling to die in obscurity in a foreign land!

However, when he asked a few servants in a row, he found out that Wang Changling and Gao Shi were not the only ones there, but Du Shiyi, whom he had seen outside the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion yesterday. Xu is not the time to go out and see civil and military affairs, Du Shiyi is dressed in white clothes often worn by ordinary scholars, a scarf, black cloth shoes, although it looks simple, but its face is radiant, and his eyes are deep, but there is a demeanor that is very different from Wang Gao and the others. At this moment, he was in a dilemma, but Wang Changling was sharp-eyed and recognized him at a glance.

"Feng Er, you're here!"

Feng Changqing saw that Du Shiyi had also looked at him, and immediately cheered up and stepped inside, and saluted: "I've seen Du Dashuai!" Young Uncle, Duff. ”

If Feng Changqing called Wang Langjun Gao Langjun at this time, Wang Changling Gao Shi would definitely turn around and treat this person as a stranger. But at present, Feng Changqing has not been so ashamed that he is so ashamed that he is grovelling because he is in the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion and his identity is different from Wang Gao, Wang Changling is an open-minded person, and immediately smiled: "Brother Junli, I also said before, if it weren't for Feng Er, I would have made such a ridiculous incident before, it doesn't matter if I have three longs and two shorts, Duff may be affected by me." From Qiuzi to Shanzhou, all the way thanks to Feng Er as a guide, but everyone knows each other well, and when I asked him about his words, he refused to tell me. ”

Although this is the first time that Wang Gao and the others have met since they were invited into the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion yesterday, since Wang Changling talked about the old things in such a relaxed tone, Feng Changqing only felt that his heart was half settled. Seeing that Du Shiyi was not impatient, he said truthfully: "Young Uncle and Duff are of course kind, but all I have learned is from my grandfather, and my grandfather was convicted of Anxi, and I didn't even have the ability to help the coffin return to my hometown, so I had to let him bury his bones in another country, so I swore when I buried him that if I didn't let my grandfather return to his hometown for burial, I would never let my grandfather show his words." ”

This reason sounded much more reasonable than Feng Changqing's perfunctory reason at the beginning, and it was not without pain, Wang Changling and Gao Shi glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that their contempt for others had been reduced by eight points.

Although they were lonely and poor, at least they had never traveled thousands of miles away to the Western Regions with their convicted elders and grew up in a completely unfamiliar environment!

"If your grandfather knew that you had this heart, he would definitely smile at Jiuquan." Du Shiyi bowed slightly, and then said to Feng Changqing, "You said before that you wish to make contributions to the loyal heir, and I think that Qijun has already told you the words of the loyal heir." ”

"Yes." Feng Changqing looked down on Wang Zhonghe, but he still prevaricated with such words, and he was not depressed in his heart, but at this moment he still said respectfully, "General Wang said this, I dare not take it seriously." Last night, I had a long talk with Zhang Lang, the secretary in charge, and Zhang Lang did not give up, and I am willing to follow me, I am really grateful. Zhang Langyan said that there would be a long trip, I asked to follow him, Zhang Langyan said, if the handsome allowed, he had nothing to do. ”

Where Zhang Xing is going to go far away, Du Shiyi knows best, hearing that Feng Changqing is willing to take the initiative to follow, he immediately stroked his palms and smiled: "I'm worried that no one is picking up the missing for Qijun, but you take the initiative to ask for help, very good, very good!" Chang Qing and the spirit of stacking with the Wonder Trail, if there is any merit at that time, I will definitely understand the please, and I will not let you go in vain! ”

It seems that Du Shiyi asked Zhang Xing to go to Tubo this time, there is really another mystery, fortunately, he did not hesitate in front of Zhang Xing at that time and proposed to follow!

Feng Changqing tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and immediately bowed down and said: "Changqing should do his best to assist Zhang Lang and live up to the expectations of the handsome!" ”

When Du Shiyi encouraged Feng Changqing and watched him leave, Gao Shi, who had not spoken much just now, asked: "I don't know where Brother Junli wants to send that famous Longyou black secretary to travel?" ”

Just as Zhang Xing himself didn't care about being called the black secretary of Longyou, Du Shiyi didn't care that the person he appointed got such a nickname. Wang Changling and Gao Shi arrived in Shanzhou at this time, which he didn't expect, but since everyone came, because Xian Yu Zhongtong was in Luoyang, and Zhang Xing was about to travel far away, he didn't mind using the two of them when he was short of people.

If you want to talk about the fame in the poetry world, the three people he recommended to Beijing are now bigger, but Li Bai's temperament is too heroic and uninhibited, Meng Haoran admires the hermit, Wang Zhilian is a good drinker and is old, and the same is the restrained character of the three people, in contrast, Wang Changling is more suitable.

"Within a few days, Qijun will try to supervise the imperial history and send an envoy to Tibet as a Zhihonglucheng." Seeing that Wang Changling and Gao Shi showed surprised expressions at the same time, he said sincerely, "Qijun is my right-hand man, and when he leaves, there will be no one around me." If the young uncle and Duff are willing, why don't they stay with me, I don't know if they are willing to agree? Of course, if Duff intends to return to Beijing to inscribe the title, it will be a different matter. ”

Faced with such a request, Wang Changling and Gao Shi were stunned at the same time, and then their hearts were pounding. Although Wang Changling is a Jinshi and the first, Shi Brown will give the school scholar, which can be said to be a smooth entry, but because his mouth is too fast, the second term will not bear fruit, so he will be angry and adapt to Du Shiyi's invitation to travel to the Western Regions. And Gao Shi's luck in the field is even far inferior to Wang Changling, and he has repeatedly thrown his precious good time on the exams year after year, and he can't be reconciled in his heart. Moreover, this trip to the west, seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers and the majestic scenery, the two of them couldn't help but be a little resistant to returning to Beijing to continue the life of visiting the minister.

Therefore, Wang Changling almost didn't think much about it, so he agreed: "If I can share the worries and relieve the labor of Brother Junli, how fortunate I am!" ”

Wang Changling said so, and Gao Shi, who didn't even have a fame, was even more worried. He arched his hand and said loudly: "I was born lonely and poor, and I am not the children of those families who need to glorify their ancestors, so I don't have much hope for the science field!" As long as Brother Junli doesn't dislike me when he turns around, I don't have any experience! ”

said that the two of them stayed to help, Du Shiyi was naturally in a good mood, and chatted with them for a while before leaving. And as soon as he left, Wang Changling joked to Gao Shi: "Okay, you Gaudafu, I thought you would refuse." I heard on the road that Li Taibai's poems made the Eastern Capital and made Luoyang paper expensive for a while, didn't you still intend to compete with them? Even if the system department will not open the erudite and scholarly department, but the literary and literary Yalico will always open it again, you are still worried that there is no chance? ”

"I'm just talking." Gao Shi smiled, his young face was full of ambition, "Seeing that Brother Junli is only in his early thirties, he is modest, civil and military, and then I look at my age but I seem to have achieved nothing, I really don't want to waste my years like this." Even if Li Taibai and the three of them are talented, what is happening now? It's not just that he worships Hanlin with the title of school scrivener, not to mention pre-state affairs, and he can't even touch the slightest bit of practice! It's rare that Brother Junli is short of people around him, but you and I have picked up ready-made cheap! ”
