Chapter 200: That's a good suggestion
The sun is gradually turning west, and no one has come to greet him, the little prince Bato who is sitting in the carriage is already very impatient, he is the first time to leave the Turks, and he has heard of the prosperity and liveliness of the Tang Dynasty when he was in the Turks, and this time he can follow the mission to come to the Tang Dynasty is naturally very excited, and he can't wait to enter Chang'an to have a look.
Tulu said that he would wait for the Han people to send someone to greet him, he could only wait patiently, and when he left the Turks, his father Khan told him to listen to Tulu more along the way, and he could not weaken the momentum of the Turks when he arrived in the Tang Dynasty.
However, an hour had passed, and the news of the arrival of the Turkic mission should have reached the ears of the Han Chinese, but the greeter had not yet appeared.
Although most of the Turks are sturdy and thick-skinned, the wind blows on the face in the cold winter season like a knife cut, and the Turkic men who stand in the cold wind for an hour also feel numb in their hands and faces, and their legs and feet are stiff, but they dare not move casually.
Although the little prince Bato was sitting in the carriage and wearing a thick animal skin coat, his body was not as good as those Turkic men outside, and it was extremely uncomfortable to sit still for a long time.
Tulu sat on his horse with a cold face, his eyes were full of burning anger, and the people who entered and exited the Yanping Gate would avoid them when they looked at them curiously, these Turks were too savage and fierce in their eyes.
"Datang is so snub to us!"
Just as the anger in Tulu's heart was about to explode, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums in front of him......
A team of fancifully dressed folk blowing troupes came in the direction of Yanping Gate with gongs and drums, which immediately attracted many onlookers, thinking that a girl was going to get married.
Zhang Xiaostool followed behind the blowing group with a sad face. He didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to really let him go to meet the Turkic mission.
……
Zhang Xiaostool was the soldier who reported to Li Chengqian in the Gewu Academy. He was just the most ordinary little soldier. When Wang Xiang casually asked him to meet the Turkic mission, he thought it was a joke.
Li Chengqian also thought that Wang Xiang was joking at first, even if he didn't have to greet him personally, at least he should send another prince, and no matter how bad it was, he should send a senior member of the court to show respect, after all, this time the little prince and princess of the Turks came together, and it was too casual to send a small soldier to greet him, it was simply Chiguoguo's contempt for the Turks.
Wang Xiang is good, it is clear that he just doesn't want to give face to the Turks. bluntly said: "Respect is mutual, the day after tomorrow will begin, the envoys of the various states rushed to Chang'an a few days ago, the Turks deliberately delayed their arrival to this day is already disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty first, and the defeated generals are still so arranged, do you really think you are the protagonist of the Great Dynasty Meeting?" ”
Datang has always been known as a state of etiquette, Li Chengqian still felt that he should be more generous, and hesitated: "After all, the Turks are far away from Datang, and some delays in the cold weather are actually not a big deal......
Wang Xiang sneered: "Big food, Persia." Tibet, which is no longer than the Turkic road. Besides, since the Turkic mission had already arrived outside Chang'an City, why did it stop? Obviously, they are waiting for us to send someone to meet them, and they don't look like they are here to worship the Tang Dynasty but to show off their might, so I don't want to send someone to greet them, I really want to see if they will be waiting outside the city if they don't send someone to greet them. He was very unhappy with the Turks, who were obviously weak, and preferred to pretend to be posturing, to put it bluntly, pretending to be forced. Moreover, Wang Xiang has never had a good impression of the Turks, and the steppe wolves that don't hurt or feed them will never really get married to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian sweated in his heart when he heard Wang Xiang's words, and he felt that Wang Xiang was becoming more and more similar to his black-bellied uncle......
On the Taiji Palace, Li Er sits on it, this year's Dynasty will be an unprecedented event, Li Er enjoys this feeling of all countries coming to the court.
"I've seen the layout of the Lin De Palace, it's very good, it seems that the prince is still very attentive, can other things be arranged?"
This year's court meeting was arranged by Li Chengqian, supplemented by the eldest grandson Wuji, who had just finished his work, and when he heard Li Er's question, he stepped forward and replied: "Everything has been arranged." ”
"Hmm." Li Er nodded with satisfaction, Li Chengqian's performance during this time made him feel very satisfied, unlike when he just came back from Xishui Village, he hid in the prince's mansion all day long and complained about the sky, and he was irritable and angry at the slightest trouble. He knew that all this had changed since Wang Xiang had gone to the Prince's Mansion.
"I heard that the Turkic mission has arrived?"
The eldest grandson Wuji squinted and smiled: "I have arrived at Yanping Gate." ”
Li Er chuckled: "The day after tomorrow is the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and they came on time." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "They want to show the difference between the Turks and other states. ”
Li Er sneered: "What's the difference, not all of them have to be subservient to my Datang." ”
"This time the mission was accompanied by the Turkic Prince Bato and Princess Danqier."
"Oh?" Li Er smiled with interest, "It seems that the Turks have other plans." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "I heard that the little prince Bato and Princess Tanqier are both of marriageable age, and neither of them has ever been married......"
Li Er laughed when he heard this: "Since the little prince and princess of the Turks are here together, you have to send someone to greet them." Although the words of the eldest grandson Wuji were not spoken, it was self-evident what the Turks had planned, and the Turks, who had always been unruly, would actually take the initiative to come and kiss, Li Er's heart was extremely happy.
"The prince has already sent someone to greet him." Eldest Sun Wuji's smile looked a little weird, and he had just gotten a funny news.
Li Er didn't notice the weird smile of the eldest grandson Wuji, nodded and asked, "Well, who did the prince send to greet him?" ”
"A small stool."
"A small stool?" Li Er was stunned when he heard this, it seemed that the prince did not send a prince to greet him, "Who is Zhang Xiaostool, why don't I remember that there is an official named Zhang Xiaostool in the court?" ”
In his opinion, since Li Chengqian did not send the prince to meet the Turkic mission, he should have sent a senior member of the court, but he had no impression of this name at all.
The eldest grandson Wuji forced a smile and returned: "Zhang Xiaostool is a city patrol soldier. ”
"Patrolman?" Li Er was completely confused, he handed over the affairs of the Great Court Meeting to Li Chengqian, and he was very satisfied with all the arrangements so far, but it was too childish to send a patrol soldier to meet the Turkic mission, Li Er felt that the prince should not be so foolish.
"Auxiliary, what the hell is going on?"
The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes narrowed into a slit and smiled: "The prince originally planned to greet him in person, but it was the prince's new suggestion, and the minister thinks this suggestion is very good......" (To be continued.) )
