190, public loyalty to the country

After Jingwen asked for those calligraphy and painting classics back, those Turks took those "useless" classics to the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and then handed over these classics to the border officials of the Tang Dynasty. After that, those officials also hurriedly sent the fastest fast horses back to Chang'an, to send the news back to Chang'an, so that they would also be happy.

And on this day, it happened to be a court visit once every fifteen days, and Emperor Li Shimin was holding a court meeting.

"Your Majesty, the Xinzhou Assassin sent a message, please take a look at it." One of the chamberlains said.

And Emperor Li Shimin opened the piece and looked at it, and a burst of joy appeared on his face.

"Good! All right! All right! Li Shimin said three good things in a row, obviously very happy.

"Your Majesty, may I ask if you have the courage to ask what happened to make you so happy Your Majesty?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Shimin immediately said: "Everyone, it's a good thing! Ladies and gentlemen, there is news from Xinzhou, saying that the Turks took the initiative to return some of the things they stole from our Datang last year, saying that it was the above arrangement. And this should be the meritorious service of our envoys. ”

"What? Are they back? "How can the Turkic people have such a drastic change in character? Actually spit out what you ate? "yes, is this still Turkic?" ……

Those civil and military officials couldn't believe that the Turks would return like this? In their eyes, the Turks had no time to spit out what they had eaten. Even if it's wasted, they won't give it back to others. But they didn't know that this was the result of Jingwen's use of war blackmail. Therefore, the Turks will also return to the Tang Dynasty.

And if it was a different person to negotiate with the Turks. It is simply not possible to achieve such an effect. Because those diplomats in the Central Plains could not have the courage to threaten war. And those literati in the Central Plains. They all want to avoid war, and would rather give their wealth to some foreigners. And war is not wanted. Even if they are willing to marry the princess far away and make peace, as long as they can avoid war, it is okay. This is the thinking of the vast majority of literati in the Central Plains, who are very afraid of war, and even oppose war unreasonably, and will not say anything about the legitimacy of war history at all.

"Your Majesty, this must be the credit of our envoys from the Tang Dynasty. And my Datang is currently sending Shi Jingwen as the main envoy in the palace, so this should be Jingwen who asked the Turks to exchange it back. The emperor is wise, and the emperor can discern talents, so there is the current result. An official said.

If Jingwen is on the scene. You will definitely feel that you have an opponent. Because this guy is really a sycophant, and he doesn't care about his face at all. Obviously, it was Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, who recommended Jingwen District to envoy to the Turks, but in his mouth, he became the emperor's discerning talent, so he sent Jingwen District. Even if there is a credit for recommending talents, it is also the credit of Li Daozong! But he insisted on the emperor, what is this not sycophant?

"Your Majesty, what are you going to get back this time?" Wei Zheng asked.

Li Shimin immediately said: "This time, that kid from Jingwen helped us get back a lot of good things, mainly calligraphy and painting classics and the like. It's also a good thing he's coming back, if he doesn't come back. I don't know how much civilization my Datang will lose! ”

"Long live the emperor!" An old man immediately said excitedly.

This is Kong Yingda, he is a cultural official. Kong Yingda studied all kinds of classics, isn't it just to be able to learn something? If you want to say that these classics have returned to China, who is the happiest. That's Kong Yingda. And with these classics, Chinese culture can be lost a lot, and Kong Yingda is the happiest.

"Your Majesty. Then there should be a lot of masterpieces of calligraphy masters in those classics, right? Yu Shinan asked.

"That's right, that's right! It is a masterpiece of many famous artists of the past dynasties. When the time comes, you must show Yu Aiqing! Li Shimin said.

Yu Shinan is a master calligrapher, and he has a surprising love for calligraphy. So now he has heard the classics of many well-known masters. That, of course, was exciting. And he was still sorry for these famous classics for a long time, and they actually fell into the hands of the Turks. But now that he is coming back, Yu Shinan is also very happy and excited.

And Wei Zheng is probably the third happy, but Wei Zheng is more utilitarian. Although Wei Zheng hung up a political affairs counselor, he became the prime minister with the rank of the third rank under the Zhongshu Sect. However, his own job is to be a secretary and supervisor, that is, to manage books. These classics have returned to the Central Plains, and they definitely need to be revised. Then he, the secretary and supervisor, can make some merits, after all, his job is to manage the country's books!

"Let's talk about it, how should we reward this Jingwen?" Li Shimin asked very arrogantly.

And at this time, someone immediately said: "Your Majesty, although Jingwen Yushi has made great contributions, it is not suitable for heavy rewards." Jingwen Yushi is only seventeen years old at the moment, and if he rushes to reward him, I'm afraid he will get carried away. Therefore, the minister thought that it was not appropriate to reward him again this time. ”

"Oh? Fang Aiqing, do you actually have this idea? Li Shimin asked.

It was Fang Xuanling who said this, he actually didn't want Emperor Li Shimin to appreciate Jingwen again. As for the reason, that is, Jingwen is still too young to be rewarded, and if Jingwen is rewarded, I am afraid that he will get carried away.

"Also, there's nothing to reward lately?" Li Shimin was also muttering.

Jingwen is not short of money, so there is no point in rewarding money, but it seems that the sincerity of the emperor's reward is insufficient. And for promotion, this is not very good. Jingwen has just been promoted, and it is not suitable to continue to be promoted. It can only give something else, but what else can it have? As for sending a princess to him, this is not very realistic. Jingwen is not enough to marry a princess. This is the reason for Jingwen's origin, if it is the descendants of those old ministers, I am afraid that they will get a princess unconditionally, and they can't do it if they want to. But Jingwen is just from an ordinary family, so he is not qualified to marry a princess.

And now it is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and the reputation of the princess of the Tang Dynasty has not been messed up, so the reputation of the princess is not bad, and there are still many people who are willing to marry home. As for Jingwen, at least not yet!

"That's it! I'll reward him with a handwriting! Li Shimin said.

"The emperor is wise!" Everyone said.

And Li Shimin immediately splashed ink and wrote a few words as a reward for Jingwen.

"Loyal to the country!" Emperor Li Shimin wrote these words. (To be continued......)
