Xue Chongxun usually doesn't work hard, but some things still have to be done in person, just like this time the Tuyuhun people sent a messenger, which he received.

Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty were barely regarded as diplomatic relations, and there was nothing to do with him, and the reason on the scene was that the diplomatic power was the power of the central government, and the local government had no right to diplomacy. However, the exchange of letters between the envoys of the Xianbei people (Tuyuhun) and the Tang Dynasty court did not play a practical role at all, and it was really necessary to have an accommodating relationship with the feudal officials on the border to repair the relationship.

Not long ago, the Tuyuhun envoy of Chang'an wrote to the imperial court that the ministers wanted peace talks, and maybe they wanted to marry a Tang Dynasty clan and strengthen the relationship...... It is a pity that in the huge institution of the Tang court, it is a very troublesome process from the formulation of national policies to the specific implementation: first of all, the prime minister must coordinate the interests of all parties, and then write to the emperor (now the power is in the hands of Princess Taiping), and after the palace approves it, it must be concretized and implemented layer by layer through the provinces and ministries, and the system of three provinces and six ministries in the Tang Dynasty has evolved over the past century, and the relationship between them has changed greatly and is very complicated.

Tuyuhun wrote a recital and submitted it, but Princess Taiping didn't have to read all the recitals, but usually reached the hands of those bureaucrats. People take a look: Hasn't the matter of Tuyuhun been dealt with, and the way to deal with it is to seal Xue Chongxun, the Duke of Weiguo, as the head of the march of Fu Qidao. The decree that was issued not long ago will naturally not be changed lightly. So he proposed to deal with the construction of the chapter: let the Ministry of Rites have a division to return the book.

Chang'an has a large number of talented people who write fluently, and the sentence "Ning Yan on the side, rest and ...... for military service" is written in one go, which probably means that our country has always adhered to the principle of peaceful coexistence and continued to develop good-neighborly and friendly relations. This national letter is quite ridiculous, obviously hundreds of thousands of people are in a large-scale group at the border, good neighbors and friendly you|sister.

Well, it's not a matter of a day or two to repair a relationship. Of course, the Tang Dynasty was not in a hurry to win the battle, but Tugu was in a hurry, not to mention the loss of a large area of land along the Yellow River, and there was news that the Tang army was going to plunder around the West Sea to further attack the enemy's strength. The war has to continue, but the suzerainty of Tubo has been newly defeated, and it has long since run away, and the Tuyuhun people have a play against the Tang Dynasty alone on the eastern front? After the cattle and sheep are robbed, the seedlings are destroyed, and everyone will starve to death?

So Murong and Quanchen Fu Lu couldn't wait to send messengers to deliver the letter, and the two groups of people sent the letter to Cheng Qianli, the envoy of Jiedu, and Xue Chongxun, the head of the Fu Qidao march.

The main content of this letter is the gift list, the list before sending the money, of course Cheng Qianli didn't accept it, and replied that he couldn't care about it. Xue Chongxun accepted the letter, arranged for the envoy to stay in the hotel, and said that he wanted to return the book for them to take back, and the messenger naturally stayed happily when he heard that there was a play.

"Pen and ink waiting." Xue Chongxun unfolded a piece of white paper folded into a long lattice and shouted. This is also a small habit of his, when he writes, he is used to folding the paper, like a column of grids to make the article more neat.

"Are you calling me?" Bai Qimei, who is known as Bai impermanence, looked left and right. Xue Chongxun was working in the signing room, where she was spending time.

She was a little unhappy and said, "The shelf is quite big, but I will not listen to you." Seeing that there was no one else here except the errand and standing guards, she still came up to grind the ink, and said, "However, I also look at your appearance, if you amuse me, I feel comfortable in my heart, and I am naturally willing to serve you." ”

Xue Chongxun picked up the brush and dipped it lightly in Yantai: "I see that your shelf is bigger than me, I see that you are bored to let you do something, right?" ”

Bai Qimei looked curiously at Xue Chongxun's letter, and said with a grin: "You write this word...... I really don't dare to compliment people. ”

Xue Chongxun said depressedly: "Authentic regular script, easy to recognize." ”

"I heard that last time Xue Lang went to see off his relatives, he was arrested by the Tuyuhun people, and it took a full 150,000 yuan to redeem it, are you writing a letter to them to reminisce about the past?"

Xue Chongxun said: "I admit it last time it fell into their hands, but this time it fell back into my hands, I have to knock it back with interest!" ”

At this time, I saw a servant walking in with a saucer under the teacup in both hands, but he still splashed the tea carefully, so hot that he grinned and cried with a sad face, seeing Xue Chongxun look up, Xu servant hurriedly said: "The small one accidentally poured too full." ”

Xue Chongxun didn't mean to blame, but said lightly: "Don't stare at the cup, look ahead and go straight." ”

After a while, Xu Gong put the teacup on the table and said happily: "What Ming Gong said really works!" How did you know about such a trifle? ”

"Just pay more attention and you'll know, go down." Xue Chongxun waved his hand.

Bai Qimei looked at him with a smile, "I don't want Xue Lang to be so meticulous, and I also understand the work of a slave, when will you wait for me, don't learn to be useless." ”

"I think you're going to go up to the house and uncover the tiles." Xue Chongxun scolded casually while writing, but it had no effect, and Bai Qimei was still smiling.

At this moment, I saw Wang Changling coming again, he glanced at the girl on the side, and said, "How does the lord reply to the book, is he going to accept the Murong family's gift list?" ”

Xue Chongxun shook his head: "You can't ask for this money." ”

Wang Changling breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, if you accept money, if Yu Shitai does not impeach and accept bribes to collaborate with the enemy and treason, they are derelict in their duties, even if the lord will not be punished, it will also damage the reputation of the virtuous." ”

Do I have a good name? Xue Chongxun was very puzzled when he heard this. At this time, I heard Bai Qimei say: "This Lang Jun looks like he is only a teenager, but he is old-fashioned and boring, look at Xue Lang, the eldest uncle is not so old-fashioned." ”

Wang Changling said: "This is Yuwengong's family, I shouldn't have taken care of it; But the place where the signing house handles government affairs is not the place where women should come? Please be aware of it! ”

Bai Qimei suddenly said coldly: "Huo! What a big hat, according to what you say, I am a woman who can't even come to a small state and county signing room, so isn't it a big mistake for His Royal Highness Xue Lang's relatives to sit on top of the temple? The next time I see His Royal Highness, tell her in front of her that she is still reasonable? ”

Wang Changling was stunned and speechless. Seeing this, Xue Chongxun smiled and said: "What the young uncle said is right, she gave you a crooked reason, you can't say her...... I can't accept the money sent by the Murong family, it's not that I'm afraid of impeachment, don't let the real money be in vain, I don't privately swallow the treasury, how much do you think about sending money to Chang'an? It's just that this time they gave a small amount of money, saying that eating people is soft and short-handed, if I am greedy for this small bargain, it will not be good to fight for greater benefits in the future. ”

Wang Changling wanted to say something, but a servant outside the door reported: "Cheng Jiedu sent his general Li Yi to hand over a name post, and he wanted to meet Ming Gong in person." ”

Xue Chongxun passed it in. After a while, Li Yi, who was stocky and dutiful, came in, and said after seeing the salute: "The Jiedu envoy heard that the public money of the defense of the country was to Tuguhun to come to the envoy, so he sent me to say a few words. ”

"How?" Xue Chongxun frowned.

Li Yisu was good at observing his words and expressions, and when he saw that Xue Chongxun's face was not safe, he said with an expression not to hit him with a smiling face: "From the perspective of the envoys, my envoy is the envoy of the festival, you are the assassin, and he can control you; In terms of military power, you are now the head of the march of Fu Qi Dao, and he is a lawyer, so it is inconvenient to ask about this matter. Therefore the envoys of the festival sent me mostly out of private admonition. The imperial court must have set up an ambush for the Tuyuhun to completely conquer Tuyuhun, and perhaps soon migrated the Tuyuhun people attached to Lingzhou to graze horses in the land of the Jiuqu of the Yellow River, and re-established the barrier defense line west of Longyou against Tubo, so that the safety of the eastern front could be guaranteed without a single soldier. At this time, if the Patriotic Princesses privately negotiate peace with those Xianbei people who are servants of Tibet, not to say that you have no right to do this, and you will be dissatisfied with the political affairs hall, wouldn't it be a great inappropriateness? ”

Xue Chongxun said: "The Murong clan in the Xihai area has no way out, they can only surrender to the Tang Dynasty, why do they need to mobilize the people to move to the Xianbei people in the middle of the country?" We have realized the intention of the center, no matter what method is used, as long as the same goal is achieved, isn't it? ”

Li Yi said: "Jiedu envoy said that the Xianbei nobles in Tuyuhun's hometown have an inextricable relationship with Tubo, and they can't be trusted!" The best way is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, completely wipe out, and let the Xianbei people of Lingzhou return to their hometown to restore their foundation. Attached to the Khan King Nuo Haozhong, his mother is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, the clan attached to the Tang Dynasty has been sincere for decades, and it is a long-term plan to move to Tuyuhun's hometown. ”

"Hah! To be reliable, as long as they still maintain the habits of nomads, it is impossible to be completely reliable. Ande warriors guard the Quartet? In the end, we Han people have to rely on ourselves for national security, don't count on others. Xue Chongxun sneered, "I have my own plans, and Chang'an will be satisfied with my approach when the time comes...... Slaughtering cities and exterminating the people is fascist, well, it is the work of barbarians, and it is of no benefit; But don't be good, the people of the light picture are called ministers, and say two good and obedient words, that is to slap the swollen face and fill the fat man, do we want to learn from Emperor Yang of Sui to hang silk on the tree? The best way to treat foreigners is to be 'courteous', but we as a superpower must not let go of the interests that we should deprive ourselves. No matter how they talk about it, when you are strong, you are a father and a micro-minister, and when the luck is bad and the country is weak, who the hell is you? ”

When Li Yi heard it, it seemed that he had already made up his mind one by one, but it was not something to do casually, and it was useless to talk too much at the moment, so he hugged his fists and said goodbye to go back to talk.

After Li Yi and Wang Changling left, Bai Qimei said with a smile: "The handwriting is so bad, and you scold your father and mother when you talk about it, I really don't know how you become an official." ”

"You don't understand that what I'm saying is the truth, and those who are full of mouths also quote scriptures but always think about asking nomads to help guard the country, and in the end they are beaten all over the ground and looking for teeth, that is Sven sweeping the floor." Xue Chongxun picked up the letter of the Tuyuhun people and looked at it, but the Chinese characters on it were written decently, and said thoughtfully, "This character is so clear, shouldn't it be from a woman's hand?" ”

Bai Qimei also came up to take a look, but when she saw the gifts listed above, she forgot the word jì and muttered, "There are so many treasures!" ”

Xue Chongxun nodded and said, "I have to collect two things in the Hui Shu, just because it is reasonable to see a personal relationship, I already have some personal relations with the Murong family...... Which one do you like? ”

Bai Qimei was surprised, blinked her beautiful and clear big eyes, and asked in confusion: "What are you asking me to do?" ”

Xue Chongxun smiled: "Didn't you amuse you, so you were willing to serve?" Besides, the last time you took the risk to help me, I didn't say anything about it, and I really looked petty. This person's things, I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I didn't bleed and got a smile from the beauty, why not? ”

"I don't have any sincerity at all, and I still want to do favors with other people's things." Bai Qimei said with a straight face.

"Something from a foreign country, it's an exotic treasure, don't forget it. I also don't have to worry about being discovered by the imperial history and being scolded for being a bloody dog. ”

Bai Qimei hurriedly pressed the list and glared: "Who said not to?" Your words are called 'Don't be in vain, don't'! She hurriedly looked at the names intently, "A night pearl that weighs a tael? That's a big one! Silk agate, flame stone...... If only you could collect it all! ”

"You can only ask for the same, but don't be too greedy." Xue Chongxun said, "Choose your favorite." ”

Bai Qimei pouted: "I like the most expensive, but I don't know which one is expensive." ”

Xue Chongxun: "......"

At this time, Bai Qimei suddenly asked: "But just now you clearly said that you want to accept two things from others, why can I only choose one?" ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Naturally, I want to send Ting'er the same, otherwise I won't have her share just to send you, she will definitely be unhappy when she knows about it, maybe she will hate you, I'm thinking about you." ”

Bai Qimei looked at him with a smile: "You haven't forgotten the delicate lady in the room, you are very good to her, but I don't know how long you can get better?" ”

"You just wait and see, don't you fall in love with me, so you want to promise me to take you to the room?" Xue Chongxun said casually with a smile.

"Could it be that Xue Lang is still reluctant?" Bai Qimei said and turned around, "Don't look at other people's faces, where can you find them." ”

Xue Chongxun laughed briefly: "You won't be arrogant at all. He smiled and looked up and down seriously for a moment, only to see that Bai Qimei was dressed in white clothes with pure skin like silk, she was really a beautiful girl, better than the cute actress who played the jade girl, but it was really like the disguise of the "jade girl", and Bai Qimei's pure appearance was not pure at all. He said in a half-joking tone: "You are used to being wild, I will really take you into the room, but I am afraid that you will not be able to stand that kind of dull and boring days." ”

Bai Qimei smiled and hugged his arm: "Xue Lang, people can be quiet, think about how boring Aunt Yuqing is, and her Shangqingguan in Luoyang, except for a group of Taoist priests who pretend to be ghosts, I haven't been bored for a few months." Xue Lang can be bored no matter how boring he is, Yuqing Daogu? ”

Xue Chongxun said: "After all, this is a signing room, don't pull and pull the grant and accept the kiss, the officials are too unkind to see." ”

Bai Qimei suddenly let go of her hand, and her jade hand pressed her heart, making a timid appearance: "Ouch, people are so afraid, the yali are all officials, and there are fast arrests, I have done so many things to be a traitor, what should they do if they arrest me?" ”

I saw that her fingers pressed lightly, and the full chest without Dai Wen's chest was pressed by her fingers into a round and moist depression, and the elastic and soft shape immediately attracted Xue Chongxun's attention. Seeing this, Bai Qimei looked down, and immediately understood his thoughts, so she whispered, "Do you want to touch it?" ”

Xue Chongxun nodded without hesitation.

She said with a straight face: "But after all, this is a signing room, don't pull and pull the grant and accept the kiss, the officials are too unkind to see it." ”

Xue Chongxun: "......"

She changed her words again and said, "However, I'll think of a way for you to quietly sue you." Xue Chongxun hurriedly came over with her ears, and she gently blew the fragrance in her ears, "You excuse yourself to go out on errands, go out in a carriage, I will pretend to be an executioner to protect you, and then get into your car...... Got it? ”

Xue Chongxun said happily: "This plan is very good. He immediately threw down the unfinished letter and put the brush on the inkstone, where could he take care of any official and private affairs?

They took the men and horses, got into the exquisite pine felt cart left by the former assassin history and went straight to the outside of the yamen, the groom asked where to go, Xue Chongxun said directly: "Where it is secluded, go there." ”

Out of the state is the state front street, in the middle of winter, the center of the street is paved with snow and broken ice, people do not have to stay warm at home, there are few people outside. Most of the houses are closed, and a thick cotton curtain is hung at the door of those shops, and Shanzhou City looks a little depressed.

Xue Chongxun didn't wait for the carriage to go far, he couldn't wait to start untying his belt, and Bai Qimei said in a low voice: "What are you doing?" ”

"What do you say? Do what you say. ”

Bai Qimei's innocent face was extremely innocent: "What did I say?" Xue Chongxun swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Don't go back on your word." ”

Bai Qimei held his hand and said, "It's the first time for people, do you want to ...... in this broken car?"

Xue Chongxun was stunned: "What is the first time, I don't believe it at all!" You have shown up on the rivers and lakes, you have seen countless men, can you still stay until now? ”

"Whoever dares to move a finger of mine, I will take his life!" Bai Qimei said angrily.

Xue Chongxun said: "I've touched you a few times, you won't be unfavorable to me, right?" ”

Bai Qimei's face became faster than Mayday, and she immediately said charmingly: "Of course Xue Lang is different, if I look pleasing to the eye, of course it won't hurt him." ”

Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "Even if the rose has thorns, Lao Tzu is not afraid. But if you don't want to do anything in this felt cart, then what are we going to do? ”

"For the sake of the jewels you gave me, of course I want to reward you." Bai Qimei's face was flushed, and she said in a small voice like a mosquito flapping her wings, "I Bai Wuchang is more trustworthy than that eyebrow thing, and I will answer your business...... You haven't forgotten, have you? ”

She took a breath as she spoke, turned her head to check the tightly sealed car window curtains, and whispered with a little heaval in her chest: "Reward you, not only let you touch there, but also let you eat." ”

Xue Chongxun looked at her with round eyes and a daze, and when she saw this, she pouted, "What?" Don't want to be dirty? ”G
