The next day, Li Guanqi got up and washed up, and the first thing he did was to see Lin Bai off and negotiate with the Western Turks, which was not a joke. How barbaric the Turks are, they don't care about your set of rules of fighting between the two countries and not killing the envoys, if you are not careful, your life may be gone. Even if you rush to this, you have to send it to others. Moreover, the more Li Guanqi thought about it, the more he felt that this kind of thing was too cowardly, and he had to give Lin Bai a good advice, and he must not suffer a loss.

Lin Bai didn't expect the emperor to come to see him off in person, and in his excitement, tears came out on the spot, kneeling on the ground and sobbing constantly.

Li Guanqi didn't look like he was pretending to be excited, he was secretly happy in his heart, he didn't expect to win over another person so easily, it seems that in this era, loyalty is still more valued by scholars.

Stretching out his hand to pull Lin Bai up, Li Guanqi pretended to be sad and said: "Old Lin, the Western Turks endanger the border counties, kill the people, and plunder the property, and I also want to deal a heavy blow. But you also know that I have just come to power, there are too many things to deal with, and now I have no money, so this battle cannot be fought for the time being. So I can only let you Lao Lin work hard this time, and after you go, you must not embarrass me, do you hear! ”

Lin Bai wiped his tears and said, "The minister understands, the minister remembers His Majesty's trust!" We must live up to our mission! ”

Li Guanqi nodded, looked at the gifts prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and said, "These things are all unloaded, they are expensive and not a big deal, and they will waste money if they are brought." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, the emperor didn't let him bring these, so what to bring?

"You don't need to bring anything else, just bring 5,000 catties of tea." Li Guanqi said categorically.

Although everyone didn't understand why the emperor asked him to prepare tea, how dare he disobey the holy decree? Hurry up and get ready.

Li Guanqi said to Lin Bai at this time: "The Turks come to fight us almost every year, but they never really enter the mainland, do you know why?" ”

"I didn't think about it." Lin Bai replied honestly.

Li Guanqi smiled slightly and said, "You haven't thought about it, but I have thought about it." It's not that the Turks don't want to completely dominate us, it's that their strength is simply not enough. Although they are better able to fight than we are, their advantage is not obvious, and the lack of supplies in the steppes has forced them to plunder us. Therefore, I assert that their purpose this time is still only to promote peace, and to take the opportunity to ask us for some supplies. And the materials they need most are not silk and silk, nor jade porcelain, but tea. ”

Li Guanqi's assertion, Lin Bai heard this kind of opinion for the first time, although he didn't agree with it very much, but he couldn't think of a good reason to refute it, so he had to listen carefully.

Li Guanqi said again: "Lao Lin, when you go this time, you must first remember that you can't cut the land, I'm sorry for me, and I'm sorry for my ancestors." ”

"Yes." Lin Bai is also a hot-blooded courtier, and he is also unambiguous in this article.

"Second, try to fight for our interests, the less compensation the better, and it is best not to give silver." Li Guanqi's tone was like that of a profiteer.

"This ......" Lin Bai couldn't help but groan, and said in his heart, the Turks are not so easy to discuss.

Li Guanqi also knew that Lin Bai was embarrassed, so he said again: "Of course, I won't give any benefits, and the Turks probably won't agree." You can tell them that I am willing to trade with them. They could exchange horses and ironware for our tea. ”

"The ministers will do their best to fight for the interests of our great Qiandynasty." Lin Bai shouted the slogan again.

Li Guanqi secretly instructed Lin Bai a lot of precautions, and then said, "Okay, let's go." I await your triumphant return. ”

Sent Lin Bai away and returned to the Qinzheng Palace, Li Guanqi looked at the empty dragon book case, only to find that he seemed to have nothing to do, this sudden discovery made him feel lost, the emperor should not be so idle.

Thinking that I have been in this world for a month, I have only been to the court once, I have never seen a nutritious excerpt, and I have never held a meeting in front of the king. Thinking about it, Li Guanqi understood that he had actually been set aside by Zu Donglai.

Li Guanqi sat a little lonely in front of the dragon book case, his adaptability is really amazing, it seems that he has integrated into this society in such a short time, and he didn't think about his family and friends during this time, which is really a bit undeserved. But even if he puts all his mind on his current identity, the situation is still so difficult, unless he can tolerate himself to be a puppet. Thinking about it, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yue'er looked at Li Guanqi quietly on the side, looking at his lonely expression, looking at his helpless wry smile, and the eyes full of brilliance but unconsciously revealing a trace of fatigue. She couldn't understand why this man who was the Son of Heaven was so lonely, so tired, and why his unyielding and stubborn came from. She can't understand all this, but she knows that this man who looks high and high also needs to be considerate and loved.

Yue'er poured a cup of herbal tea, held it to Li Guanqi with both hands, and said softly: "If the emperor is in a panic, why don't you go out for a walk." ”

Li Guanqi smiled to himself, "Even you can see that I'm bored?" But can I go out for a walk? In front of Yue'er, he can always let down his guard and reveal his true temperament, he also suspected that Yue'er was also someone's secret agent, but that trace of doubt was only a fleeting moment, and he didn't want to think about it.

Yue'er replied: "Yes, when you go out to see the scenery and meet people, your mood will naturally improve." ”

"Okay." Li Guanqi pressed his hands on the dragon book case and stood up, "I listen to you, go out for a walk." There happened to be someone I had always wanted to see but hadn't seen yet, so I went to meet him. Let's go, call He Ziming, let Tang Mao prepare Luan, and let's go to the household. ”

Li Guanqi's visit to the household department this time was completely different from the last time, the last time was after work, and he only brought He Ziming alone, and he didn't wear court clothes, so Zhao Pu didn't recognize him. This time, it was on duty, sitting in a bright yellow sedan chair carried by 36 people, including eunuchs and guards, there were 200 people, all the way to the gate of the household.

The momentum was so big, Qin Minzhong got the letter early, and hurriedly took the officials on duty in the household department out to greet him.

Luan stopped and Tang Mao fell to his knees. Li Guanqi also shook his majesty this time, stepping on Tang Mao's back and driving Luan.

Everyone in the household department saw Li Guanqi getting off the sedan chair in court clothes, and the black crow knelt down with a "sigh".

Li Guanqi walked up the stairs with light steps, and when he saw Zhao Pu kneeling inside, he walked over and said to Zhao Pu with a smile: "You are also here." Do you still recognize me? ”
