Send an errand?

As an official in the court, he naturally has to work.

To be honest, I have been relatively idle recently, and the bachelor of Hongwenguan has a great responsibility, and is responsible for teaching the children of the royal family, but in fact, there is only one student, Li Zhi.

But King Li Zhi's course is in charge of a large group of masters, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all, and as for the affairs of the palace, there are not many.

After all, Li Zhi is still living in the palace, the palace is empty, he is still young, he has not yet held any position in the court, he has not yet married, and there are too many exchanges and courtesies, so this palace chief is very relaxed.

Li Shimin probably realized that he was too easy and wanted to find some work for himself and squeeze the surplus value?

Although it is a capitalist style, there is nothing wrong with it, and Xie Yi is also very happy.

In any case, His Majesty Li Er treated himself well, and the Du Fuwei incident was successfully resolved, which also showed the benevolent side of His Majesty Li Er to a certain extent.

"I don't know what kind of errand it is, please ask Your Majesty to command!"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and laughed softly: "September is the birthday of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan, and the imperial court needs to send someone to congratulate him on his birthday, so let's go!" ”

Belch......

Hearing this, Xie Yi almost petrified.

Just now, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were still discussing which inconsequential unlucky guy would be sent as an envoy, why did he become an unlucky guy himself in an instant?

Shouldn't the envoy be a matter of Honglu Temple? At most, it's only related to the Ministry of Rites, so why is it your turn? Datang is also too unprofessional and professional.

Really!

"What? Don't want to go? Seeing Xie Yi's hesitation, Li Shimin frowned and asked.

"Uh, no!" How dare Xie Yi say a word, he didn't dare to do such a thing as openly resisting the order, and only then did he defend: "Your Majesty, the envoy to a foreign country is a matter of great importance, it is related to the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the minister is young. I have no experience in this area, and I am afraid that I will not be able to handle this errand. ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, you can learn without experience, it's just to give a birthday gift, is it difficult?" When the time comes, I'll send someone from Honglu Temple with you. ”

In this case, why not send the officials of Honglu Temple directly, why go around this big circle to let yourself suffer?

Xue Yantuo is in the Saibei grassland, a journey of thousands of miles, and it is inevitable that the carriage and horses will be tired. And the climate in that place is harsh, even though it's autumn. Presumably it is already quite cold, and the wind and sand are severe, does our handsome appearance still exist?

The second is safety, I have the impression that in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there were fights with the surrounding grassland tribes. Thinking of the assassination incident in Jiucheng Palace, Xie Yi naturally deduced a little that this envoy to Xue Yantuo was probably not so simple, nor was it so safe.

It's good to say in the territory of Datang, thousands of miles away on the grassland, in case something happens. It's hard to deal with! If there is a danger because of this, and you may even lose your life, then it is dangerous.

Newlywed Yan'er, you can't let the two beautiful girls in the family be widowed, right? I don't have a son yet. If there are three long and two short, wouldn't the Xie family have broken the incense?

No, no, it's terrible to think about the consequences!

Thinking of this, Xie Yi immediately retreated. Prevarication is inevitable.

"Your Majesty, this ...... The stakes are high, just to be on the safe side. You'd better pick an experienced officer, I'll ...... His Royal Highness the King of Jin still needs to be taken care of by the ministers, so ......"

"What? Want to resist the decree? Li Shimin's face sank, Xie Yi immediately didn't dare to say more, it was really helpless to meet a powerful emperor.

"Don't dare!"

"If you don't dare, go back and prepare obediently, and when you leave, you will come to Chengqing Hall to see me." His Majesty Li Er said that there was no room for bargaining.

……

Alas!

Xie Yi sighed and left the Chengqing Hall depressedly, it was really ...... that such a drudgery had fallen on his head

Although it is said that it is reasonable and modest, it is easy to become famous and go down in history according to reason, just like Lin Xiangru, or the columnist of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

However, the so-called flat three-inch tongue can be worth a million army, and the story of tongue battle and group dance only appears in film and television novels, how many times can there be in practice?

Especially the people who are going to face Xue Yantuo, even if it is Zhenzhu Khan Yinan, he is also a rough man of the grassland, expect him to be as polite as the Confucian students of the Central Plains? Let you convince him?

It is very possible to not use fists and feet in a few words, and even knives and guns, and it is difficult to guarantee safety! If it was in the past, relying on the authority of the Tang Dynasty could still deter Xue Yantuo, as an envoy of the kingdom, he might still be treated, or even stammered.

But now, looking at the situation, I'm afraid there is no optimism, so this thing!

……

Xie Yi returned to Huaiyang County's Bofu dejectedly, Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan saw the abnormality at a glance, and both said with concern: "San Lang, what happened?" ”

"Your Majesty has sent me an errand!" Xie Yi replied helplessly.

"What errand?"

"Chorus, let me send Xue Yantuo to congratulate that bullshit true pearl Khan Yi Nan on his birthday."

"Xue Yantuo, in Saibei?" Du Xijun immediately thought of the distant distance, and his mood suddenly became a little heavy.

Zheng Liwan is also an extremely smart woman, and she understands the situation in the imperial court better, so she muttered for a moment and said, "San Lang has concerns? ”

"How can it not, you all know the affairs of Jiucheng Palace, and now the situation in the northwest is probably not as peaceful as it appears to be, so the envoy will ...... Alas, I never thought it would be implicated? Xie Yi was very helpless about this.

"San Lang don't worry, although there is some trouble, and there may even be some danger, I don't want you to take risks in personal affairs, but ......"

Zheng Liwan said: "But the holy order is difficult to disobey, and this may also be an opportunity at this time......

"Opportunity?" Du Xijun vaguely guessed some, but it was not clear.

"That's right!" Zheng Liwan said: "Envoy Xue Yantuo congratulates him on his birthday, Honglu Temple will send someone to go casually, why do you need San Lang to go?" Presumably the situation is complicated, and the court and His Majesty hope that a brave and resourceful person will inquire about the situation and adapt to the situation, which our Saburo is famous for.

Moreover, San Lang is young, and he has more advantages than those ministers who are old, and he is easy to be ignored by Xue Yantuo, and maybe there are unexpected gains. ”

"That's right, Your Majesty said that I should see him when I leave, it must be ......" Xie Yi reluctantly realized that it was a blessing or a curse, a curse that could not be avoided, and some things could not be deliberately forgotten.

"That's right, Your Majesty will definitely have an explanation at that time, so San Lang's trip is far more than just a birthday, and it can be regarded as a great contribution to the imperial court."

Zheng Liwan said: "Datang has always attached importance to meritorious service, San Lang has an earl in his body, but he is not from military merits, it is inevitable to be despised, this is a good opportunity." (To be continued......)
