Chapter 880: A Chance Encounter on the Street
Except for Li Xin, the rest of the Tang Dynasty did not pay attention to the arrival of the Silla envoy, after all, Silla was only a small country, and with Li Xin unifying the world and becoming the master of the world, the countries around the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to meet the Son of Heaven to congratulate the Celestial Empire on the unification of the world, and of course, more importantly, to obtain the reward of the Celestial Empire.
Among these countries, some countries are much larger and more powerful than Silla, and more importantly, the news that Silla actually sent a female envoy spread throughout the Tang Dynasty officialdom, which made the officials of the Tang Dynasty very dissatisfied, but Li Xin didn't say anything, and the officials below naturally didn't say anything, but the attention was much worse. However, Choi Won, who was the minister of Lee's confidant, personally came to greet the Silla envoy.
"Sister, look, the other party is dressed in vermilion, I'm afraid it's a big shot, it seems that the Tang Emperor still approves of you, hum, if it is spread to the country, see what those guys can say, what holy bone vein has been cut off, the will of heaven is like this, it's really a joke." The petite woman said disdainfully.
The Silla inheritance pays attention to the inheritance of sacred bones, Queen Seondeok is the eldest daughter of King Jinpyeong of Silla, King Jinpyeong has no children, Queen Seondeok ascended the throne after her death, and after the death of Queen Seondeok, it may only be passed on to her sister Kim Seungman, but what about after Kim Seungman? There is no relic, and it can only be passed on to other close branches. So the system of sacred bones will lose its ultimate effect. Queen Seondeok was also very annoyed by this, but she thought it was providence, so she could only remain silent.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor may value us very much, but it is precisely because of this that he asks for something." Silla Queen Jindeman shook her head and said: "The other party is dressed in vermilion, at least an official of the third rank or above, and even follows the Tang Emperor's side, has a title, and is more noble than the status of the kings of small countries like us." Come down! In his heart, Jindeman was guessing the role of the Tang Emperor in treating him so politely.
"Silla Kindman has seen Lord Shangguo." Kindman is a very intelligent man, otherwise. King Zhenping will not pass the throne to her anymore.
Cui Yuan was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect Queen Silla to come in person, but it was surprising, Her Royal Highness the Queen caught Datang off guard!" ”
"My lord, Xiao Wang also has to do it, if Baekje knows that Xiao Wang has come to the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the country will be a little unstable, and please tell Your Majesty, please forgive Xiao Wang for his offense." Jindeman also knew his faux pas, and said very ashamedly.
"I think Your Majesty already knows. I believe that it will be arranged soon. Her Royal Highness the Queen: Wait. Cui Yuan smiled bitterly, if the Silla envoy came, and he came to greet her, it would already give her a great face, but when the Queen of Silla came, this kind of etiquette was much worse.
After half a ring, sure enough, he saw Cen Wenwen leading some ministers to come slowly, and Cui Yuan hurriedly introduced: "Her Royal Highness the Queen, this is Master Cen Wenwen, a scholar of my Tang Wude Palace. ”
"I've seen Lord Cen." Jindeman was shocked. Hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I am tired of the adults coming, and I ask the adults to forgive me." "When she was in Silla, she sent someone to inquire about the official settings of the Tang Dynasty, and the scholar of the Wudejeon Hall was equivalent to the prime minister. It seems that Datang still attaches great importance to her arrival, and more importantly, she can see the heart of the Tang Emperor from another aspect, perhaps because she is the queen of a country. But the Tang Emperor must be an open-minded person.
"Don't dare to be, His Majesty the Emperor has already ordered, Her Royal Highness the Queen has worked hard from afar. You can go to the post house to rest first, and your majesty will personally receive your highness tomorrow. Cen Wenwen smiled and returned the salute.
"Lord Cen, Chang'an is so prosperous, can I walk around?" Jin Shengman couldn't help but say.
"Sister." Kindman glared at his sister with some dissatisfaction.
"Nature can, nature can." Cen Wenwen nodded again and again, and said to Cui Yuan: "Lord Cui, send some people to protect Her Royal Highness the Queen, and you can't let anyone snub Her Royal Highness." ”
"Yes." Cui Yuan made a gesture of invitation to the queen and invited Jindeman and the others into the post house.
In the west market of Chang'an, you can see some bearded Persians from time to time, and you can also see a lot of pearl agate, and even Persian Sanle pulp, dragon paste wine and other treasures appear on the market.
Li Xin and Shen Ruyan walked on the street with Shen Xiao in their arms, Shen Xiao's little eyes were open, and from time to time he looked at everything around him, every time he saw something strange, he danced happily and happily. Shen Ruyan's face was full of happiness, but her mouth complained: "San Lang, you are busy with state affairs, but you are here to accompany me, aren't you afraid of your sisters talking?" ”
"There is tension and relaxation, this is the way to balance." Li Xin said indifferently: "Besides, come out to have fun and observe the people's feelings, isn't it also for national affairs?" Li Xin casually took a pearl from the side and looked at it carefully, but Shen Xiao stretched out his little hand, grabbed the pearl in his hand, and played with a smile, looking very happy.
"Sister, look, the agate bed, all of it is inlaid with agate, this bed can sleep, maybe His Majesty the Emperor can sleep!" A silver bell-like voice rings in the ears, which makes people listen very comfortably. Although the other party spoke Chinese, the tone was very different from that of the Central Plains.
"Your Majesty, it should be from Silla." Shen Ruyan said on the side.
"The Tang Emperor worked hard and advocated simplicity, how could he sleep in this kind of agate bed." A cold voice came, but it was a woman in a purple robe beside her, looking around from time to time, her eyes showed a complicated color, there was envy, yearning, and a trace of sadness, and finally there was a trace of firmness, this kind of look made Li Xin very curious.
"This girl, how do you know that the Tang Emperor will not sleep on an agate bed? The Tang Emperor is rich all over the world, and now he dominates the world, if he sleeps on an agate bed, I believe it is still a very easy thing. Li Xin asked curiously.
"The Tang Emperor is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, a person who is as young as the Great Emperor, who has just unified the Central Plains, if he is addicted to pleasure, how can such a person have the opportunity to dominate the world?" Jindeman glanced at Li Xin, and saw that Li Xin was holding a child in his arms, followed by a woman, and then there were several powerful subordinates, such a combination was very peculiar.
You must know that the status of women in society is not high, even if they walk with their husbands, they are also backward, where is like Li Xin, who looks like a person with status and status, but walks in the downtown with his own women and children. Jin Shengman was a little curious.
"I didn't expect a foreign woman to know His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty so well, I'm afraid that even the people of the Tang Dynasty don't necessarily know His Majesty the Emperor so well." Li Xin grinned after hearing this.
"They don't need to know His Majesty the Emperor, they just need to know whether His Majesty the Emperor treats his people well and whether he can protect their lives. However, those courtiers will speculate on the preferences of His Majesty the Emperor, if the Emperor likes agate beds, I am afraid that there are many agate beds on the market. Jin Shengman pointed around and said: "Along the way, there are only three of them selling, which shows that the Tang Dynasty still advocates frugality, at least, His Majesty the Emperor." ”
"You're a little interesting, I don't know what to call a girl, but someone who can have such insight in a foreign country is definitely not an ordinary person." Li Xin glanced at Jindeman deeply.
"Like my husband, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person." Jindeman glanced at Shen Ruyan, convex and backward, extremely attractive, plus his face was ruddy, obviously very well developed, but he didn't expect that this scholar who looked just sturdy and graceful was still a romantic seed.
"Your Majesty, she is the messenger of Silla and the queen of Silla." At this time, a middle-aged man behind him leaned over and said in Li Xin's ear: "One of the minister's subordinates follows behind." ”
Li Xin nodded, looked at Jindeman carefully, and said with a smile: "You are very good, no wonder you can come to the Central Plains in person, I believe you and I will meet soon." Li Xin took Shen Ruyan with one hand and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Sister, what does he mean?" Jin Shengman looked at Li Xin's back with some curiosity and said, "Why do I feel weird, who is this person?" The tone is really big. ”
"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you said that your tone is not big, but I really didn't expect that I met a random person on the street, and it was actually the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Jindeman looked at the few warriors behind Li Xin, his waist was bulging, and he looked behind him a little, plus Li Xin's last sentence, he was able to determine Li Xin's identity, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed bitterness, fortunately he didn't say anything just now, otherwise he would have offended His Majesty the Tang Emperor unconsciously.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?" After Jin Shengman heard this, the boss with his mouth open, looked into the distance, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in the depths of his eyes, and said: "It's really hateful, but the dignified Tang Emperor is pretending to be like an ordinary person, with a woman, holding a child, and wandering around the market, isn't he afraid of assassination?" ”
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Jindeman's mouth, this is really no wonder to others, it can only be blamed for his bad luck, when he was shopping with his sister, he was able to meet the Tang Emperor, and he chatted for a while.
"Let's go! Anyway, he didn't say anything, and even if he said anything, His Majesty the Great Emperor was open-minded and wouldn't blame us if he thought about it. Kindman shook his head and said. In my mind, I remembered Li Xin's voice and smile, for this young Tang Emperor, his historical deeds have been spread far away, that is, as far away as Silla, Jindeman also knows a thing or two, this meeting, only to know that the other party is not a wasted person.
