Chapter 413: All Nations Come to Court
The first round of dark battles has come to an end for the time being.
Liu Yu relied on the transfer of Huo Sick to Guanzhong to dismantle this crisis, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and made him more cautious. At the same time, you have to pretend that nothing happened.
Now it is not even clear whether there is such an enemy, let alone investigate the identity of the enemy, and the truth can only be gradually revealed after the scouts in the army infiltrate Chang'an City. All he can do is very simple, he doesn't go out of the palace or the city, he can stay in the city at home, and try to seem like he is good and good, so as not to make the enemies behind the scenes suspicious.
Everything seemed to be calm in Chang'an City, and after the curfew of that day and night, Chang'an City also returned to its previous liveliness, and the people gradually forgot what happened that day. Even Sui Yi, who rested at home for two days, came to Liu Yu in good spirits, and Li Mi came with him.
"Brother Liu, why didn't you say the emperor hurriedly awarded the reward?" After Sui Yi returned to Chang'an City, he was actually most concerned about his own Juelu, "We have been back for half a month, it stands to reason that there should be movement now, but I went to the military department yesterday to inquire, and the emperor doesn't seem to remember this." Should we wait until the army has withdrawn before awarding the reward? ”
When Sui Yi spoke, Li Mi on the side was also very concerned. Originally, they followed Liu Yu to make a meritorious career, but who knew that this trip to the meritorious service was built back, but the official was gone, they had a rank but no real power, and became an idler in Chang'an City.
Liu Yu put down the book in his hand and asked, "Didn't you go to the ministry to ask?" ”
Sui Yi said helplessly: "The people in the official department are all official, I am upset when I listen to them, their officials are not as high as me." All eyes grow on the top of their heads. Defiant. ”
Liu Yu picked up the snacks on the small plate on the table. put it in his mouth, his eyes continued to look at the book on the table, and said vaguely: "I guess there should be news in the next two days." ”
Sui Yi and Li Mi were a little puzzled, how could Liu Yu be sure that there would be news in the past two days, could it be that he had received some news in advance?
In fact, Liu Yu is just guessing, and now Huo Yi suddenly led troops back to Guanzhong, which made the relationship between the military and the imperial court suddenly tense, and the imperial court has been holding closed-door meetings for the past two days. Claiming to be discussing the dispatch of military supplies for the border army of Shun Dynasty for the winter, it is actually discussing how to dismantle the military's threat to the imperial court. At this time, the imperial court would come up with a little practical "benefit" to temporarily appease the military people who are now in Guanzhong, Huo Yi is counted as one, and Liu Yu, Sui Yi, and Li Mi are also counted among them.
"Let's go back and wait." Liu Yu added a sentence later, as if he was issuing an eviction order.
Sui Yi smiled and said, "Brother Liu, do you want to go out and find a place to play?" ”
Okay, the scar forgot the pain, Liu Yu glanced at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that Liu Mei'er will come out of the crack again?" ”
"What are you afraid of her doing? This time, I brought more than 20 people to guard the side, even if I went out of the room and entered the room, they would also wake me up and watch them for twelve points, I don't believe that they dare to mess around. After Sui Yi finished speaking, he found that Liu Yu was a little impatient, and then smiled. Actually, I wanted to tell Brother Liu that you were the chess building where we originally gathered. I bought it. ”
Liu Yu raised his head and frowned slightly, this was quite unexpected for him.
In the past, when a few fox friends chatted and farted in the chess building and regarded it as a contact base, Sui Yi had the idea of buying the chess building, first, this kid was not short of money, and second, he was watching the business of the chess building. But because of the chess building in the downtown of Beijing, there is a deep background behind the scenes, and Sui Yi, a businessman at that time, couldn't even find the owner if he wanted to buy it, and the deal couldn't be discussed, so naturally it couldn't be done. Now Sui Yi actually said that he would buy it, which reminded Liu Yu of a question that had been hovering in his mind for a long time.
"Who opened the chess building?" Liu Yu asked.
"I don't know what to do." Sui Yi is like a fool, he doesn't even know who the seller is, "Originally, I sent someone to inquire whether it was for sale, but the shopkeeper said that it could be sold, and the price was not high, maybe the owner behind the scenes was short of money." ”
Short on money? It's too coincidental to be missing. Liu Yu instinctively felt that this matter was not simple.
But everything that doesn't conform to common sense is not simple, this is Liu Yu's current logic, to put an end to the disaster within the root. He said in his heart that he should be cautious next time he goes to the chess building.
Seeing that it was lunch time, Liu Yu sent Sui Yi and Li Mi away, and the two came back just after lunch. It turned out that the imperial court had assigned them a new errand.
"Greeter?" Liu Yu took the letter of appointment and looked at it, and his brows naturally furrowed.
"It's to welcome those foreign envoys, oh, and the Turkic little lady who came back with us, but she waited in the State Post House for half a month and didn't get received by the imperial court." Sui Yi was a little annoyed and said, "I want to be a dignified member of the Shun Dynasty, but I should be such a thankless errand, is this an errand?" It's not as good as a young man from Beijing! ”
Liu Yu thought about it, now there are more envoys from various countries in Chang'an City, and the National Post House is also very lively. Not only the Turkic and Loulan envoys, but also the envoys from the Yueshi and the newly built South Loulan, as well as a series of small countries in western and southern Xinjiang such as Tubo, have also come to the court, mainly because now the Dashun Dynasty has just pacified the Turks, and no one wants to become the next country to be destroyed. By the way, if they can climb the relationship with the Shun Dynasty, then their status in the surrounding countries will also be highlighted.
Liu Yu now knows that Sui Yi and Li Mi can no longer be valued as before, and the imperial court appointed them as welcome envoys to send them casually, but Liu Yu still said cautiously: "The welcome envoy is an errand that is not easy to deal with, dealing with people in Fanbang, you must pay attention to the national body and know etiquette, if you do a good job, the court will definitely have another important use." Do a good job. ”
Originally, Liu Yu asked Timur to come to the dynasty on behalf of the Turks, because he wanted the Turks to become vassals of the Shun Dynasty and help the Shun Dynasty manage the grasslands, which was equivalent to incorporating the grasslands into the territory of the Shun Dynasty. This is a good thing, who knows that the people of the imperial court are indifferent to this matter because of the rise of the military's strength, which also makes Liu Yu particularly disappointed in this court. Now the imperial court has to treat the envoys of various countries solemnly, which makes Liu Yu feel a little relieved, but also makes him feel that the imperial court still holds the heavenly empire and prides itself on being the superior country, and lacks the sincerity to have friendly exchanges with the envoys of Fanbang.
Thinking of the envoys, Liu Yue couldn't help but think of the "little beggar" Timur, and the two hadn't seen each other for a while.
…………
The people of the Shun Dynasty think that the Heavenly Empire is the upper country, but in fact, the grassland people are not much better, they are all arrogant.
This time Timur came to Chang'an City, in addition to enjoying the hustle and bustle of the Central Plains city, in fact, she came to eat delicious food.
The last time she came, she ran away halfway, but this time her identity is different, she is now the son of the Turkic Heavenly Khan, the future master of the steppe, not only the status is respected, even some of the officials of the Ministry of Rites who are responsible for the reception of the Shun Dynasty must be respectful and dare not slack off. The officials did not dare to slack off, but the imperial court clearly snubbed them.
"Bullshit Emperor, I can't see it pulled down. Just have something delicious! ”
This is Timur's idea, she has already planned to spend the whole winter in this place where it is very warm, whether she sees the emperor of the Shun Dynasty or not, she is ready to return to the grassland, continue to ride a horse and gallop on the grassland, continue to bathe and bask in the sun in the rivers of Dardo with her sisters. For her, it was the happiest life, but when she thought of that man, she was a little reluctant, and she didn't even seem to have much appetite for food.
The girl doesn't know what it's like to be sad.
"Damn the bad guy, it must be a girl from a certain family."
Timur also asked the officials of the Shun Dynasty Rite Department what kind of official position that "Su Wu" was in their country, as if everyone listened to him, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites said that there was no one named Su Wu in the Shun Dynasty officialdom. The officials of the Ministry of Rites were also very strange, this was not the first time that someone had asked them about "Su Wu".
In fact, it is not only the Turkic envoys who are interested in "Su Wu", but all the envoys from the western Xinjiang usually ask about Su Wu's whereabouts immediately when they come here, as if Su Wu abducted the princess of their country and they are as urgent as they want to find someone. Loulan, Yueshi, Nanloulan, and Tubo, two of the envoys from the four countries that came from Western Xinjiang were women, and they were all the kind of women who looked beautiful and had an exotic flavor, and they asked "Su Wu", they seemed to be looking for a husband.
The most dishonest of these envoys was Loulan envoy Che Tu, who was quite angry after she heard that the person "Su Wu" did not exist. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to find the person "Su Wu" in Chang'an City, so that many people impersonated and wanted to earn this reward, but they didn't know that although Chetu was from Fanbang, he was not so easy to fool, but everyone who came to the National Post House to find the reward was driven out of Lu by the Loulan people with sticks.
The people of Loulan made trouble in the National Post House, and the Jingzhao Mansion didn't dare to take care of it, and they didn't dare to ask about this matter involving diplomatic etiquette.
There are many countries that come to the National Post House, and even many small countries in southern Xinjiang have also sent envoys, and some "Nanban" in Lingnan have also sent their own representatives to negotiate with the Shun Dynasty, hoping to turn the war with the Shun Dynasty into a jade silk.
Just when there were some chickens and eggs in the National Post House, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were a little overwhelmed, the imperial court finally issued an order to let Sui Yi and Li Mi be responsible for receiving envoys from various countries as the chief envoy and deputy envoy, and expressed their readiness to communicate with various countries about peace talks. This also made the hustle and bustle of the National Post House, which lasted for more than half a month, temporarily calm down.
And when the countries sent envoys to Chang'an City, merchants from various countries also arrived in Chang'an City one after another, and Chang'an City at this time can be said to be a large place for the assembly of all nations, which added a lot of vitality to this cold winter of the Shun Dynasty.
And when the envoys of various countries were looking for the missing "Su Wu" and looking for the happiest time, Liu Yu also beat the gong in Chang'an City again. After being quiet for more than half a year, the opera garden in the south of the city became lively again with Liu Yu's return to the city. At this time, Liu Yu already had to retreat to the countryside and no longer paid attention to the noise of Chang'an City.
He understood that only by completely standing up could he cut off the suspicion of others. (To be continued......)
