On the eighth day of August, Chang'an City was a little cold.

The change of solar terms is always incredible, or a sudden gust of wind, or a rain, or an inexplicable emotion.

The city is still bustling.

Because of the birthday banquet of Emperor Li San, the whole capital spent three days, and the foreign envoys who came to congratulate them, after playing in the capital for two days, have begun to return one after another, of course, most of these are far away, several months away, it is easy to meet winter.

In contrast, the envoys of the surrounding countries attached to the Tang Dynasty will always stay for a while, and some do not even plan to go back, and go down to learn the advanced culture of the Tang Dynasty.

"Journey to the West" is an attraction for readers around the world, especially the envoys from the Yamato nation, after the birthday banquet, they will go to the princess's mansion to see the sky, and find that Xu Da Ma to talk about the culture of the Tang Dynasty, from the Four Books and Five Classics to the Buddhist ceremony, what to ask, although Xu Da Ma is knowledgeable, but he can't bear to be so exhausted, but this Japanese is really studious, and it is not good to ruin his face.

Tokyo came to Beijing this time with more than 100 students, Xu Chen really has no good impression of this nation, he is diligent and studious at this time, and he grins with a little ability, he is not a villain, but culture cannot be selfish, not to mention the current Tang Dynasty, which is very powerful.

Although this Mr. Tokyo is short, he is a high-ranking official in Japan, and he has a very high status in Japan, and he pesters Xu Yuma like this, the most direct purpose is to let Xu Chen write a few words on his "Journey to the West" that he brought back to Japan, or mention some poems, the content must involve Japan, he said that this is the best evidence to study in Tang.

Xu Chenxin said that this is easy to write, that is, it is sprinkled on the title page of the book, which roughly means that Japan should always remember the favor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Central Plains will be precious for generations. Words such as "infallible" may play a small role in the great wave of history.

After all, Japan at this time admired the Tang Dynasty too much......

After the birthday banquet, the streets and alleys are still talking about the great writers, especially those foreign envoys, who are too surprised by the performance of this horse at the birthday banquet, basically this birthday banquet is also around the horse alone, the Manchu civil and military officials have great respect for this horse, in their impression, Xu Chen is only one level younger than the emperor Lao'er, or because the horse is too popular. But he only remembered one colt.

Especially when offering congratulatory gifts, this horse actually presented a big jade dragon, which is very big, but it does not look like jade, and the whole body is crystal clear, it is actually with a halo, and the most peculiar thing is the pearl in the mouth of the jade dragon, which is too impressive.

I've never seen such a beautiful object, and it's an eye-opener. It is said that this jade dragon was made by the horse himself, and his attainment skills were too exquisite, and when they gave gifts, they were embarrassed to show their hands.

Even the imperial wine rewarded by the emperor was made by the horse himself. In the end, it directly leads to the point of being humbled by drinking pony wine, and those delicacies have a unique taste...... In short, this colt. It opened the eyes of foreign envoys.

I also heard that it is the best martial arts in the world, and with an omnipotent posture, some foreign envoys returned to their home countries. When telling his boss about his experience in Tang, he naturally couldn't avoid Xu Yuma, and some even wrote a biography for Xu Chen directly to express his feelings.

Of course, Xu Chen didn't expect these sequelae, his reputation must have grown, and the relationship with Yang Guozhong and An Lushan was stiff, but Xu Chen didn't pay much attention to it, An Lushan would take two years to rebel, he couldn't do any tricks if he wasn't in the capital, and he couldn't do anything, and he could not do anything, and he could also have two years to develop his own power.

The reason why the criminal department member Wai Lang dared to release the poem at the birthday banquet was that after Xu Chen's investigation, he was indeed instructed by Yang Guozhong, but he didn't expect the prime minister to be so ruthless as soon as he made a move, directly provoking the relationship with the emperor and Yang Yuhuan.

It stands to reason that it will not be so stiff, probably because of the news that Tian Cheng released the horse, what Xu Chen didn't know was that what made the prime minister most resentful was the usury that was brought down by Xu Chen.

Because the defeat of usury did not encounter a fierce war, Xu Chen thought that this Yang Cai was not reused by Yang Guozhong, and then learned from the former merchants of usury that the annual income of usury is enough to cover a quarter of the national treasury, and it is not an exaggeration, indeed, as a monopoly profiteering industry, in an international metropolis like Beijing, it does have this ability.

Since he has made so much money, Yang Guozhong will definitely participate in it to make huge profits, this is Xu Chen's only question at present, why did Yang Guozhong leave it alone without a trace of performance? How could Yang Cai sit still and wait to die?

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, this must be good news for the bank, the branch is already preparing, further investment is also being planned, Xu Chen's career is moving towards the richest man in Beijing.

An Lushan left in a hurry the next day after the birthday banquet, saying that the border could not be separated from him, this time to Beijing is undoubtedly no gain, and disgraced, the protagonist of the birthday banquet has been himself all these years, who wants to come out of a Xu horse directly steals his own limelight, and even the last gift is aggrieved to die.

The birthday gift prepared by An Fatzi this time is a jade seal from a small country, although it is not as good as the ox fork in the Central Plains, the workmanship is not too bad, and people like Emperor Li San and his penchant for side work, will definitely be overjoyed to see such an object, this is also the bargaining chip at the bottom of the box for him to come to Beijing this time, although this thing is not valuable, but it is not so easy to get.

I wanted to show off in front of the emperor and get some rewards, and it was not in vain to make this trip, but who would have thought that Xu Horse was actually offering a jade dragon, which directly shocked everyone, the jade dragon is really rare, the whole body is crystal clear, and it is not bad to say that it is more valuable than the night pearl, An Lushan is heart is not good, tonight this limelight is still not his own, sure enough, the old emperor in front of the jade dragon and the broken jade seal, obviously prefer the jade dragon.

What's even more infuriating is that the horse not only gave the jade dragon, but also presented Yang Yuhua with a pair of jade shoes, the workmanship is similar to the jade dragon, needless to say, it is also a rare treasure in the world.

The horse actually said that the two treasures were made by himself, and this kind of braggathing was really bold, and the emperor even believed it. This makes An Fat Man unbearable, An Fat Man is well-informed, probably can see that this thing came in from outside, he used to collect a glass, but the workmanship is too inferior, and there is no comparison between these two things.

An Fatzi decided to go back, but he was a little worried that if he had a grudge with this horse, he would be retaliated against in the future. Another purpose of this visit is to keep him in the capital for the marriage of the youngest son. In recent years, Yang Guozhong often troubled him, saying that he supported the army and respected himself. is to send the kid here as a hostage, to prove to the old emperor: My son is handed over to you, you can rest assured that you will be the emperor!

Thinking of the youngest son's request to see Xu Juma that day, he also thought that he had no one to take care of in Beijing, and because this colt was too powerful, he agreed to let Xiao'er and the colt have more contacts, and the family birthday banquet ended the next day, An Lushan felt that there was no need to stay longer, so he secretly sent someone to send some gifts to Xu Chen to show friendship.

Naturally, this is something to be done in secret. If it is sent on the surface, the colt will definitely not appreciate it. After sending it away, it's time to go back.

An Fatzi ran away, Yang Guozhong was still angry at this time, he originally thought that the poem of the horse was enough to make Yang Yuhuan and the old emperor's impression of the horse worse. can be regarded as seeing how hard the backstage of the colt is, just casually making up a few lies to fool this matter, even if it is fooled, Yang Yuhua will definitely not feel comfortable in his heart. I won't be getting close to this little colt in the future, and I thought it would be easier to deal with it by then.

It's just that I didn't expect that the discord plan was not made. On the contrary, it has fulfilled the reputation of the horse, and what is even more infuriating is that this horse is too ruthless, and he actually took out a peerless treasure to coax the old emperor and Yang Yuhuan to be happy, indeed, seeing such an object, let alone Yang Yuhuan, even he is straight-eyed.

If Yang Yuhuan still hated Xu Juma because of that poem, after seeing the pair of jade shoes, his eyes couldn't be pulled out directly, Yang Guozhong could only sigh secretly, gloomy and sad, only that this concubine was shameless, and he flattered and dedicated to such a point, which was unprecedented.

But it can't be denied the effect of this flattery, the old emperor and Yang Yuhuan originally liked this little colt very much, because these two treasures, spoiling can only be even worse, and if you want to give him some color, I am afraid it will be difficult to do.

It is rumored that this concubine is determined to join the prince's faction, so that Yang Guozhong has some heart, if it is-for-tat, Prime Minister Yang doesn't care much, he is always a little kid, he has been operating in the court for so many years, even if the emperor favors him, it is not enough to worry about endangering his position, and most importantly, the emperor trusts him very much.

is to take the attitude of waiting and seeing, let the horse go to the Nanzhao Expedition, the old guy is still in the planning, if this horse is appointed as the squire of the military department and the consequences are against himself, so that he will not be able to come back in the hands of the expedition, Prime Minister Yang hates the most in his life is that others provoke his authority, a fat man like An Lushan is hateful, and he will not let An Lushan have a good time!

The birthday banquet is also the end here, but the reputation of Xu Horse has spread all over the country, all over the world, so that after someone mentions the Tang Dynasty, the first thing that comes to people's impression is that there is a very awesome horse in the Tang Dynasty......

Of course, the above only happened in a small country, and people who have not seen much of the world will say this, like the great Tang Dynasty, this matter has passed, and the reputation is still there, and the topic is not him.

Fame must be out, but after all, it is a fame, after a long time, the tea money will begin to change after the meal, and the people of the Tang Dynasty can only say: He is tired of hearing it, can he change it to a new one!!

Let's talk about Xu Chen Xu Juma himself in Princess Anyi's mansion, Xu Juma thinks that he is very low-key, but he didn't dare to go out easily after the birthday banquet, the actual situation is that he really can't go out, there are too many people who come, and that Tokyo day alone annoyed Xu Chen for several days, and finally had to lie that his throat was sick, so he gave up.

In the past, the horse and the princess had always been neglected, and no one came here, but now some international friends, such as the Goryeo prince and the African princess, had to come to visit before returning home.

Zi'er jumped directly when she saw the black people, and she also saw some Kunlun slaves, but it was too scary for groups of black people to enter the princess's mansion, but Xu Yuma's order was not refused, and Zi'er, who was received at the door, always had nightmares at night.

The celebrity effect has been used since ancient times, and then let's talk about Xu Yuma's best-selling legendary masterpiece "Journey to the West", which has been spread in the capital, but only in the market, the birthday banquet has been announced, the direct sales are sold out, Zhangjia Book Store hired hundreds of people to print or can not meet the demand, most of the books were bought by foreign envoys, very popular.

The bank is running well, there is only one in the capital, the daily transaction volume is tens of thousands, in recent days it has approached more than 100,000, and the people in the capital now know that this bank is opened by a horse, and foreign businessmen have entered the bank one after another, and it has really provided convenience.

When it was dark this day, Li Shuang'er made a special trip to call Xu Chen over, saying that he was invited to dinner, and the relationship between the two had changed in their hearts, but in essence, there was no progress, and Xu Chen usually did not eat with Li Shuang'er.

At the birthday banquet, Li Shuang'er's help surprised Xu Chen, and after coming back, the two still rarely met, and they didn't have time to express their gratitude, so they readily agreed.

After eating for a long time, the two rarely spoke, Li Shuang'er quickly finished eating and just watched Xu Chen eat silently on the side, Xu Chen didn't feel uncomfortable and finished the meal, he forgot to say thank you, but somehow, he always felt unspeakable, after eating, he took a sip of tea, and just wanted to speak, he heard Li Shuang'er say:

"I saw two pairs of crystal slippers that day......"

Li Shuang'er lowered her head when she said this, but she was a little ashamed and didn't dare to look at Xu Chen again.

Xu Chen just wanted to open his mouth, but he jumped when he heard Li Shuang'er ask like this, he did make two pairs of shoes, but that pair was for Yumo, this woman wouldn't want it too, right? ”

There is nothing wrong with beautiful women always loving beautiful things, and beautiful objects should also belong to beautiful women.

Xu Chen was a little embarrassed and said, "I gave away the shoes......"

Li Shuang'er raised her head and glanced at Xu Chen, her eyes were slightly complicated, she bit her lower lip with her teeth, and asked, "Can I only know who you gave it to?" ”

As soon as he asked these words, he saw Zi'er outside the hall leading Li Ye to run over in a hurry.

Li also jumped in and panted and said, "Brother-in-law is not good!" Yumo was kidnapped by that kid! (To be continued......)
