"Your guess should be explained to Your Majesty first, and then you should make specific plans. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Although Niu Jinda and Li Daliang praised White's reminder at the same time, they still did not agree to White's suggestion to send troops to Shancheng, but only agreed to send someone to remind the defenders of Shancheng.

Niu Jinda saw that Bai Qi was a little unhappy, beckoned him to come and sit down, and then patted his wet clothes, and persuaded him earnestly: "Your Majesty has always hoped to maintain a peaceful relationship with the surrounding areas, especially when our Datang is now in ruins, we can not fight without war." If at this time we send troops to strengthen the defense of Shancheng and let Tuyuhun, who is preparing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, know about it, then what will they think? It is estimated that we will think that we are living their gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain! ”

Although White understood what Niu Jinda meant, he was a little unimpressed.

"Uncle Niu, you will be outside, and the monarch's order will not be accepted. Tuyuhun's surrender is fake, and it is true that he secretly opposes us! Shancheng must be defended by troops, and even if there really is no war, then there will not be much loss for us. ”

Niu Jinda shaved the head of the white chess, and scolded with a smile: "We will do less things to catch the wind and shadows!" Go change your clothes, or you'll be in trouble with gonorrhea! ”

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the two, Bai Qi could only give up helplessly, and could only hope that Li Shimin could see the situation inside clearly and not easily fall for Tuyuhun and them.

Fu Qicheng opened the city gate early in the morning, and the Tuyuhun envoy to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty relied on the team, a total of hundreds of people, under the gaze of Fu Yun and other Tuyuhun ministers, neatly stepped out of the city gate, and rushed towards Chang'an.

Hakimu and the King of Tianzhu stood on the top floor of the highest restaurant in Fuqi City, the windows were ajar, and they watched the envoy team walk all the way from the imperial city to the outer city, and finally stepped out of the city gate, and the two of them were silent the whole time.

Looking at the envoy team that gradually disappeared from his eyes, Hakimu took a small sip of tea, looked at the Tianzhu King and said with a smile: "If you let the Khan know that the famous king deliberately asked for sick leave in order not to watch today's special envoy out of Tang, I don't know what kind of fate it will be?" ”

"The Khan and this king are lifelong friends, Hakim, put away your disgusting face, and don't try to provoke the relationship between me and the Khan!" The Pillar King turned his head and stared at Hakimu for a long time.

Hakimu laughed, spilled the wine from the wine glass in his hand on the ground, then threw the wine glass out, and after giving a generous salute to the Tianzhu King, he left with his subordinates.

The Heavenly Pillar King looked at the departing figure of Hakimu, and the corners of his mouth slowly revealed a strange smile. He turned around and asked his subordinates, "Has the letter from Shancheng been delivered?" ”

"Famous king, I sent it out overnight last night, and it is estimated that General Xiao will receive it soon!"

The Heavenly Pillar King nodded, looking at Fu Yun Khan, who was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed on the street below, muttering softly, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the Crescent Lake, Kavad, Changsun Chong and Shui Anyi stood on the mountain, quietly looking at the envoy team.

The mouse ran up from the bottom of the mountain, holding a letter in his hand and handing it to Changsun Chong: "Letter from Master Hou." ”

Kavad and Shui Anyi came over to see what was written inside, but they were kicked away by the eldest grandson: "Get out, military secrets, don't get so close!" ”

Kavard smiled awkwardly and sat down again. Shui Anyi continued to come up with a dead face, and Ren Changsun Chong couldn't push it away no matter how much he pushed it.

After opening the envelope and reading it from beginning to end, Changsun Chong's face was a little bad, he glanced at Shui Anyi, and then beckoned Shangkawad to walk down the mountain together and return to the Crescent Lake.

Bai Qi believes that Tuyuhun now has different internal political opinions, and it is difficult to form a joint force between many ministers and between ministers and Fu Yun. The dispatch of the envoy to the Tang Dynasty this time had Fu Yun's considerations, but at the same time, it was also most likely to be resisted by other ministers in the city. In order to sabotage Fu Yun's tribute to the Tang Dynasty, some people in Tuyuhun may even secretly take action to sabotage the plan of this envoy.

The distant city of Shancheng will be likely to serve as a breakthrough for them to sabotage the peace talks, and they may be attacked by the Tuyuhun army. White asked them to immediately send scouts to reach the vicinity of Shancheng as quickly as possible, and in addition to scouting the enemy around Shancheng, they also had the obligation to alert the defenders of Shancheng.

"Mouse, take your men and horses immediately, quickly go to the area where Shancheng is located, investigate the situation of the Tuyuhun army over there, and only leave one or two scouts here!" Eldest Sun Chong commanded the rat.

Soon, the rat took the three scouts on fast horses and set off from Crescent Lake at a fast speed, heading straight for Shancheng.

The three soldiers sent by the King of the Heavenly Pillar to monitor the situation in Crescent Moon Lake found the rats and their tracks, so they left one of them in place, while the other two went to track the rats' whereabouts, but found that they had lost them when they ran less than three miles away.

The two Tuyuhun soldiers checked the footprints on the road, but found that these footprints were very messy, as if someone was making circles in place, and the two of them could not see where the mice were going.

The two glanced at each other helplessly, stood up and just turned over on their horses, when there were suddenly two sounds in the air that broke the air, and there were two "plop" sounds, and two thin black arrows were inserted into the chests of the two of them, shooting through the heart, and the arrows were exposed from behind.

"Puff puff" twice, the two Tuyuhun soldiers looked at the sharp arrow on their chests in disbelief, raised their heads, and saw the mice and their figures came out of nowhere, and before their hands were raised, they rolled off their horses and rolled down.

The mouse looked at the two corpses on the ground and snorted coldly: "With this tracking level, I dare to wander around in front of the masters, I'm really impatient!" ”

After finishing speaking, he smiled with the other three scouts, and with a clip of the horse's belly, several people went straight to Shancheng.

Outside the city of Liangzhou, Bai Qi looked at this not too large team of envoys, silently returned to the courtyard where he stayed, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Niu Jinda lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun.

"You always go back to the house and lie down, the sun here is different from the sun in Guanzhong, even if it doesn't feel so hot, but it's actually very spicy." White went up to Niu Jinda ******** and persuaded him to go back to the house.

Niu Jinda opened his eyes and looked at Bai Qi, and said with a smile: "Every time you kid says something, it's no wonder that after many Guanzhong big men in the army come here, there are always some inexplicable physical problems, which seem to be related to the sunshine here." ”

"It's relatively normal here, but the further west you go, or in the Tibetan region, this phenomenon is even more serious, because the terrain is higher, the air is thin, and you are closer to the sun, so it is easy to get burned. So you see, the faces of those Tibetan people are always red and red, mainly for this reason. White helped Niu Jinda up, asked him to move the rocking chair back into the house, and let him lie down again.

"Shancheng too? It's easy to burn people over there in the last two days! ”

Bai Qi silently covered Niu Jinda's thighs with a quilt, the weather has been a little unusual recently, and old people like Niu Jinda occasionally make some old problems, such as rheumatism or something, and they will not sleep well every night.

"You can sit in Liangzhou for a long time, and leave the rest of the things about Shancheng to us!" Bai Qi mysteriously whispered to Niu Jinda: "The kid predicts that there will be a big battle in Liangzhou soon, and then we will be waiting for you to exert your might!" ”

Niu Jinda looked at the white chess pieces that were loading the treasure, touched his hair, and laughed.

Taoyuan Village, Ziwu County, Chang'an.

At this time, it is the time of the sun, and the market, which is very lively at this time of the day, is closed today. The small vendors and the people of the shops, who had been trading in the bazaar, came before dawn this morning to clean the streets, and the whole village was now spotlessly cleaned.

Everyone in the village and in the shop gathered in front of Tang Yuan, waiting for today's opening ceremony.

As soon as the hour passed, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled on the streets of the bazaar, and dozens of Praetorian Guards rode black high-headed horses, dressed in armor, holding sharp weapons in one hand and reins in the other, lined up in two columns to open the way, followed by Liubu Shangshu, Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others. Behind them was the sedan chair of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and there were dozens of Praetorian Guards guarding behind the sedan chair.

When everyone on the edge of the square saw Li Shimin's arrival, they knelt on the ground to greet him, and shouted loudly to the saint.

Li Shimin helped Empress Changsun down from the sedan chair, helped the white-haired old men in the square up one by one, and then called the others present to get up, and then walked with Empress Changsun to the front of the tall courtyard gate of Tang Yuan.

More than 100 students of Tang Yuan, ranging from six to fifteen years old, had such close contact with Li Shimin for the first time, and everyone's faces were as red as the rising sun.

"Good saint, good queen!"

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun couldn't help but smile when they looked at the cute appearance of the six or seven-year-old children inside. Empress Eldest Sun turned around and looked up and down at Su Mushi, who was standing next to the students with a group of teachers, and nodded with a smile, looking very satisfied.

"Mushi, get ready to start!"

"Yes, sissy." Su Mushi, dressed in a moon-white robe, bowed to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and then walked with the other teachers and students to a stop in front of the Confucius statue in the square.

The official of the Ministry of Rites walked to the front, took a piece of silk brocade and read a large number of things, to the effect that since the school has started, it is necessary to make good sage words and contribute to the Tang Dynasty in the future. Then the teacher of Tang Yuan led the students to bow to the statue of Confucius three times, and someone immediately served a basin of water to each student.

Each student put his hands into the basin of water with a serious expression and washed it repeatedly, and after a while, the "hand cleansing" ceremony ended, and someone came up and took back each basin of water.

Su Mushi wiped the water off her hands with a handkerchief, then walked in front of the many students, glanced around at everyone, smiled and nodded, and then asked someone to light a three-inch-long incense stick next to her, and then motioned for all the students to sit cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed.

The people around stood quietly, looking at the children in the square with serious expressions, a large part of them were children from one of their families, who had passed several tests and audits before finally being able to come here to study.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were taken into the Tang Garden by others to rest, while Su Mushi continued to supervise the opening ceremony of the Tang Garden outside.

She stood in front of the many students, smiling at the students who were closing their eyes and meditating, those teenage students were generally able to sit down quietly, and some of the students under the age of ten had begun to hold back when they had sat less than a third of an inch of incense, and sat there, secretly reaching out to scratch their heads and feet.

The teacher next to him walked down with a ring ruler, and when he saw a student who was moving, he patted it gently with the ruler as a reminder.

Not long after, Su Mushi clapped her hands after watching the three-inch incense burn, let the students open their eyes, glanced at all the students, and then smiled and said, "Okay, it's time to purify your heart!" First of all, congratulations, each and every one of you has done a great job just now, so you have successfully completed our first class of the semester! ”

"Tang Yuan is different from other places in Datang. You will receive here not only the knowledge of the six arts, such as poetry, writing, music, and mathematics, but also the natural sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology, which cannot be learned anywhere else. You will have the opportunity to speak to the gods and even to master their powers; You will take us to the skies and into the underwater world to discover the mysteries of this world! There are many different things, and I'm sure you'll appreciate them for yourself when you go in. ”

"Children, here, you will become the backbone of Datang in the future and promote the development of Datang in a further direction! Students, the Tang Dynasty is strong, and the youth is strong; If the youth is strong, the Tang Dynasty is strong! I hope that Tang Yuan will become a place for you to become talents, and I also hope that each of you will become a pillar of Datang! ”

Looking at the students who looked very excited, Su Mushi smiled and said to them: "Okay, from today on, you are our Tang Yuan students, please take off the extra things on your bodies and return them to your parents." All the daily necessities in Tang Yuan have been prepared for everyone, wait a moment to get your Qingjin from the uncle, and by the way, put all the retail in your pockets over there, and we will give them back to your parents. ”

Li Shimin dragged the hand of Empress Changsun and sat in a high-rise building in the Tang Garden, from which he could see the situation in the square below.

Lu Zheng stood next to them and gave Li Shimin every sentence of Su Mushi to them for review, and the more Li Shimin and his wife listened, the happier they became.

"Princess Shuli was a Confucian and a beautiful woman, and she was impressed by many famous people in Chang'an, and few people opposed it when she became the dean of Tang Yuan. Listening to her words now, it really lives up to her reputation of 'women don't let them have eyebrows'! Fang Xuanling admired beside him. (To be continued.) )
