In the evening, it snowed again, and it was blowing and silent.

Yang Fan and Xue Huaiyi, Hongyi, and Hongliu drank so much that they simply opened the door, looking at the heavy snow in the garden and drinking, sometimes a gust of wind came, blowing the snowflakes into the room, and when they hit their faces, they turned into a ball of moisture, which made people feel quite happy.

Yang Fan and the others talked about the past when they bowed together and drank together, and when they talked about Xue Huaiyi's long street shaving and drunkenness in the imperial history, they would send out a burst of daxiao from time to time, and sometimes they talked about some sad past, and they couldn't help but sigh and even cry.

Ruoxiang knew Chinese, and she understood the words of several of them, but she just smiled serenely, sitting quietly in the corner, gentle as a newly blooming rose, always silent, never interjecting a word, but sometimes stepped forward to wipe the wine stains sprinkled on Xue Huaiyi's chest, and sometimes saw that the wine jar was empty, so she silently went to fetch another jar.

Even if the four of them were very drunk, she would not say a word, but she tried to serve better, and her docile attitude was very different from that of the Central Plains women. Yang Fan heard Xue Huaiyi say that this Ruoxiang girl was not the daughter of a commoner, but the daughter of a small lord in Kyoto, so Yang Fan was happy for him to have such an opportunity.

Before they knew it, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the four of them drank more and more wine, and the wine jar rolled to the ground. One of the pictures that Yang Fan remembers is that Hongliu is pillowing on his lap, he is pillowed on Hongyi's stomach, and Xue Huaiyi is sleeping next to him, snoring and shaking the sky.

When Yang Fan was drunk, he saw Ruoxiang hugging a few quilts and walking in gently, covering them separately, zuihou gently tucked the corners of the quilt for Xue Huaiyi, and then tiptoed out, gently pulling the door to block the confused snow.

At dawn. Yang Fan woke up the earliest, he often had to get up early to go to the court, but not as comfortable as these three free monks, these monks want to sit in meditation, want to sleep in meditation, sleep in Zen, can sleep until they wake up naturally, he has no such blessing.

Yang Fan sat up and saw that Xue Huaiyi and the three of them were still asleep, but there was a kettle on the small table next to him. Reaching out, the water was still warm, and I wanted to send it early in the morning. Yang Fan poured a bowl of water to quench his thirst, and as soon as he pulled the door, a cool breath came to his face.

The courtyard is covered in silver, and the snow has fallen overnight, and the whole ground is very cute. Yang Fan put on his boots and walked to the porch. Just listen to the sound of "clicking" clogs and turn your head to look. Wakaka was walking from the corridor with a basin of hot water. Today she changed into a kimono with small pink flowers, like a cherry blossom blooming in the snow.

Seeing Yang Fan's footsteps, Ruoxiang Zhanzhu bowed to him and beckoned: "You are up, please wash and clean your face." ”

"Uh...... Xiexie Lady. ”

Yang Fan hurriedly took the basin and returned to the room to wash up. Yang Fan went to the courtyard and stepped on the snow to punch twice, and his whole body moved, and Xue Huaiyi and the three of them got up. Xue Huaiyi washed his face under Ruoxiang's waiting, and walked to the courtyard. Looking at Yang Fan, who had just finished standing still, he smiled and said, "I heard that you are now a four-rank general, and this kung fu has not been stacked yet?" ”

Yang Fan said with a smile: "The disciple is a military general, and kung fu naturally can't be wasted, can Master Xue still practice martial arts now?" ”

Xue Huaiyi's face was slightly red, and he smiled and said: "In the past, the Sprinkler family was just a nonsense, in fact, I also know in my heart that my martial arts are all flower fists and embroidered legs, street styles, haha, it can't be taken seriously at all, it's useless, it's useless to practice it." ”

As the two were talking, a man in a kimono with a high crown and a thin face came from a distance, and when he saw Xue Huaiyi, he turned his body and bowed respectfully to him, saying, "The great monk is still early." In a blink of an eye, he saw Ruoxiang coming out of the room, and he bowed to Ruoxiang again and said, "Sister-in-law is early." ”

Xue Huaiyi and Ruoxiang also saluted him, these three people spoke Japanese, Yang Fan didn't understand what they said, so he ignored it. Although the man saw Yang Fan, he didn't know his identity, so he just bowed to him and passed under the corridor.

Xue Huaiyi said to Yang Fan: "This person is the envoy of the Japanese State to the Tang Dynasty, Awata Zhenren. ”

Yang Fan said in his heart: "As a deacon, he must be a high-ranking and powerful figure, and he is so respectful to Master Xue, it seems that what Hongliu said is true, and Master Xue has really made a name for himself in Japan." Yang Fan asked, "When does Master Xue plan to return to Japan?" ”

Xue Huaiyi smiled: "What's the matter, you're in a hurry to drive me away?" ”

Yang Fan said: "Naturally, it's not like this, it's just ......"

Xue Huaiyi smiled: "I know you have good intentions, and you are worried about my safety." You can rest assured, even for the sake of Ruoxiang, I will not act arbitrarily, I will not wait until the mission leaves before leaving, as soon as spring begins, the Sprinkle family will take a boat to the east and go to the sea to return to Fuso. ”

Yang Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, he knew that this Tang envoy was not a tributary envoy, and the tributary envoy would leave after paying tribute. Each time he entered the Tang Dynasty, he had to stay for at least a year, visit everywhere, buy books and shop, appreciate the customs of Middle-earth, learn the cultural system of Middle-earth, and only leave after he had gained something.

If Xue Huaiyi wants to go with the mission, then he has to live in Chang'an for at least a year, since he went out to visit Xingjiao Temple but was spied on by Du Wentian to hide the incident, Yang Fan does not believe in secrecy, naturally he is looking forward to Xue Huaiyi leaving early to be safe.

Yang Fan hurriedly said: "In this case, when the master returns to the east, the boats, cars, and horses will be arranged by the disciples, and the master will definitely be able to protect the master all the way." “

Xue Huaiyi naturally didn't need to be polite to him, so he readily agreed immediately, Yang Fan and Xue Huaiyi had breakfast with Hongyi and Hongliu, and agreed to come over to visit from time to time, so they said goodbye and left.

Yang Fan out of the big cloud temple, turn onto the Zhuque Street, on the long street is white, many people are being directed by the square to clear the snow in the workshop, the snow on the long street has not had time to sweep, there are many car footprints left by early pedestrians.

Yang Fan rode his horse with his guards, because there was no court meeting today, he wanted to return to Longqingfang directly, and when he came to a junction, he suddenly saw a group of soldiers escorting a camel horse team from a distance, blocking the entire road. Yang Fan rode his horse to the eaves of a house and watched the huge procession pass by.

The team consisted of about 200 people, and more than half of the team were camels, carrying all kinds of wrappers on them. Judging by the style of the robes, the people on the horses and camels should all be Turkic. Since they were escorted by officers and soldiers, it would not be a business trip, so Yang Fan paid special attention.

Under the eaves, hanging a series of ice edges, like a sharp sword, the sun reflected, shining, Yang Fan from the ice sword bush flashed, at a glance saw a car in Chinese and Turkic writing of an official flag. As soon as he saw the words on it, Yang Fan's heart moved: the Turks and the pro-envoy had finally arrived.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Compared with Tibet, the Turks are really three points more scoundrels. Tubo is like a strong man who is arrogant and arrogant. The Turks, on the other hand, are an all-encompassing pimple. When he is inferior to others, Mo Si can be cheeky and take the initiative to ask to be Wu Zetian's godson, and when he sees that there is a advantage to take advantage of, he can immediately turn his face, and he doesn't care about the credibility and decency of a country at all.

Let's take this one. Tubo at least asked for benefits from his relatives first, and the peace talks could not be delayed. This is when force is resorted to. The Turks are fighting. Regardless of victory or defeat, he will be cheeky to talk about the conditions and benefits.

The hatred of the Turks in the Great Zhou court was really above that of Tibet, but limited to the current situation, and the Turkic peace envoys could not help but receive them, Wu Zetian had to delay them for three days on the grounds that the Ministry of Rites taught etiquette. In the end, they were invited to the Golden Palace to pass on the credentials.

Interestingly, this time, regardless of faction, they were strongly opposed to peace with the Turks. The Turkic envoy had just handed over a credential to explain his intentions. Showing his intention to make peace, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces rose up to attack it.

After Wu Zetian moved the capital to Chang'an, Zhang Cambodia, who had just been appointed as the autumn official squire, took the lead and said loudly: "The minister is against it!" Since ancient times, there has never been a concubine of the daughter of the Chinese prince Nayidi, let alone the emperor's grandson. Bixia can't agree, this is a great shame! ”

Regarding Zhang Cambodia's words, Wu Zetian did not like it very well from the bottom of his heart. What is a great shame, since the Han Dynasty, how many princesses have been sent to Yidi by the Central Plains Dynasty, why is no one saying that it is a great shame? When Datang sent Princess Wencheng and his relatives, why didn't he jump out and say that he was ashamed?

It has become a great shame for us to marry our daughter, and the idea that this old man is inferior to women is quite serious. Besides, the daughter of Yidi, what is the daughter of Yidi, is the bloodline of Li Tang Huangzong very pure, so why should the giants and high-ranking families such as the seven sects and five surnames, who originally regarded themselves as Han orthodoxy, despise the royal family.

However, Wu Zetian also knows that the Turks have no national character than the Tibetans, and going back on their word is like a fart, and making peace with the Turks will not help ease the situation between the two countries, as long as there is an opportunity, Mo Si will definitely take a bite as quickly as possible, and last time she let her nephew Wu Yanxiu and the Turks, but she has been detained by Mo Si so far, and she has not yet come out of this breath.

Although she didn't think much of Zhang Cambodia's reason, Zhang Cambodia's attitude was exactly her attitude, so Wu Zetian was silent. Immediately, Wei Yuanzhong came out, his beard was all open, and he said in a fierce voice: "The Turkic wolf is ambitious and capricious, and An Ke is allowed to kiss him."

Mo Si is a daughter and a relative, but arrogantly specifies that he must marry my imperial grandson, how can this really be true. The emperor's grandson is the prince of the prince, the future son of heaven, if he marries the daughter of Yidi as a concubine, then the future son of heaven will have the bloodline of Yidi, which disturbs my royal bloodline, and Bixia cannot agree. ”

Zhou used the yin and yang to say in a strange manner: "The previous time I silently sobed and groveled to think that I was Bixia's righteous son, and I made peace with Bixia, Bixia remembered his sincerity, and sent Wu Yanxiu, the king of Huaiyang, to the Turks to welcome him. Since ancient times, women and relatives have taken the initiative to send their relatives to other countries, how can there be a reason for the prince to arrive at the Khan's court to greet him, bixia is so courteous, which shows kindness. What was the result, the Turks actually detained the king of Huaiyang, broke the marriage and broke the promise, and so far have not released the king of Huaiyang, how can our dynasty make peace with the Turks now. ”

The Turkic envoy's name was Mohegan, and he had a pair of sharp eyes, a hooked nose, and two whiskers on his lips, like two scimitars, and seemed to have the temperament of a vulture.

The ministers accused him face to face one after another, and Mo Hegan was neither annoyed nor angry, but just stood there calmly with a smile full of care. After these people finished speaking, Mo Hegan coughed lightly and said loudly: "I have always only recognized the Li Tang clan as the Khan, and I asked for peace before, and I also said it clearly, I want to make peace with the Li Tang clan.

Although Wu Yanxiu is a prince, but not the Li Tang clan, this matter, is really your country's fault, my country's princess was already dressed up at that time, full of joy to marry, but your country deceived the marriage with a fake clan, my princess cried bitterly, and there was no joy for a long time. Detention of Wu Yanxiu. It's really to get justice.

My Turkic princess, who is really the beloved daughter of the Khan, has always been the most favored, and the ministers of your country depreciate and disdain, is this the hospitality of the state of propriety and righteousness? In the past, Emperor Taizong of your country Bixia once said, 'Since ancient times, all of them have been noble China, cheap and cheap, and I love them as one'. ”

Mo Hegan took two steps forward. He proudly bowed his hand to Wu Zetian and said: "Bixia, when the foreign minister came, the khan of our country once confessed in person, if your country agrees to marry." Then Huaiyang Wang Wu Yanxiu will be released. Once Bixia agrees to get married, there is no need for your emperor's grandson to greet her relatives. I, Khan, will personally send my beloved daughter to the border. Doesn't this see the sincerity of our country? ”

"Today, Mohegan has come by order to represent the state system of the Turkic Khanate, but the ministers of your country are sneering and derogatory under the court, and so on, it is not my Mohegan who is humiliated, but the Turkic Khanate that I Mohegan represents!"

Mo Hegan's handle was like a knife, and Xiangxia waved it vigorously. Said arrogantly: "My Turkic territory is tens of thousands of miles, and the northwest provinces are vying to be attached, and there are 800,000 people who control the strings!" There is also a wise lord of the silent khan, and there are countless good generals under his command. If he is humiliated now, my Khan will be disgraced by the army of the country, and then the two countries will be at peace, and the smoke of the wolf will be everywhere, who will bear the blame? ”

There was a commotion above the Golden Palace, and some people were frightened by the words of the 800,000 people who controlled the strings. Mo Hegan's words are actually a bit exaggerated, the Turkic soldiers and horses are only more than 300,000 at most, plus the territory is vast, everywhere needs to be guarded, and all the important places in the territory and the center of the king's tent need to be guarded by elite soldiers, which must be divided into troops, not to mention that they also have to guard against the ten tribes of the Western Turks, so the so-called soldiers of the country will not exceed 200,000 at most.

However, not every minister understood the Turkic situation, and many of the ministers were only proficient in internal affairs, or even only in the way of officials, and they did not know how many soldiers and horses the Turks had, but they knew that the country's standing army was only about 400,000, and the 800,000 people were naturally shocked.

Although Wu Zetian was an old woman who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, she knew about this strong neighbor and was not frightened by Mo Hegan's words. However, although there are no 800,000 people who control the strings, only more than 100,000 Turkic soldiers are enough to ignite the flames of war everywhere in the Great Zhou, not to mention that there are Tubo echoing from afar.

Wu Zetian said indifferently: "Showing off his relatives with force, this is the demeanor of your envoys?" My standing army in the Great Zhou is twice as strong as that of the Turks! I have 50 million people in the Great Zhou, and even if the army is exhausted, I can call up another army at any time, and no one will try to intimidate me with force! Your envoy came from afar, with a mission of peace, but kept fighting and killing, did you mean it, or did you mean it? ”

Wu Zetian was indifferent at the beginning, but his tone became more and more serious, and later he was already angry, Mo Hegan hurriedly stroked his chest and said: "The foreign minister is guilty, and the foreign minister is only angry because he has been repeatedly humiliated by the minister of your country, so he spoke falsely and prayed for forgiveness!" ”

Wu Zetian snorted coldly and said, "Harmony is not a matter that can be determined in a moment, you can step down, and this matter will be discussed later." ”

Mo Hegan wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Wu Zetian's cold face, and he didn't speak again after all. As soon as Mo Hegan left, Zhang Cambodia, Wei Sili, Wei Yuanzhong, Yao Chong, Zhou Yong and others rushed up, and rushed to say: "Bixia......"

Wu Zetian waved his sleeves and said tiredly: "I know, you don't have to say it anymore." This is delayed in advance, and we will wait for the situation on the battlefield to take a turn for the better. ”

The news of the Turkic marriage proposal soon spread in Chang'an City, and several little Loli in the Xiangwang Mansion heard about it without asking, and Xicheng said in a panic: "I didn't expect the Turks to also take advantage of the fire to rob, and threatened that once I don't agree to make peace, they will immediately send troops to invade." ”

Li Huawan said: "The crown prince Chongjun has been killed by the imperial grandmother's cane, and now the crown prince only has three sons, Ping'en Wang Chongfu, Yixing Wang Chongjun, and Beihai Wang Chongmao are all concubines, and the position of the imperial grandson has been pending for a long time. If the imperial court wants to marry, it must first set the emperor's grandson, and the emperor's grandmother must not hastily decide the position of the emperor's grandson. ”

Huo Guo pouted and said: "I said that Yang Fan was unreliable, and Shi Niang asked him for help, but he didn't help more and more." ”

"Yo! You can endure it, right? Li Zhiying pinched her fleshy nose and said, "Didn't you listen to what your mother said, knowing that no matter who marries, it won't be your turn, and if you're not in a hurry, you won't pat your sister's ass, huh?" I'll go to him now! ”

Qingyang sighed and said: "That's it, Shi Niang, what's the use of you looking for him, I said it a long time ago, he can't do anything about this kind of thing." ”

Li Zhiying said angrily: "I...... Can I go to him to settle accounts? If he doesn't have the ability to take care of it, he will honestly admit it, why lie to us and say that he wants to find a way? Since he promised others, he should do it. A promise of a thousand gold, killing the head will not change! How can I not understand the truth that a little woman understands? ”

Li Zhiying turned around angrily and left, at this time she had returned to the Xiangwang Mansion to live, and immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage and horses and went straight to Longqingfang, Xiangwang these children have close feelings, and they often move around, Xiangwang only said that she was looking for a few Wang brothers, so he didn't ask, Li Zhiying rushed to Longqingfang in a hurry, and asked to see Yang Fan.

Mo Xuanfei had already received Yang Fan's orders before, and when he saw that this Li Shi Niang was here again, he hurriedly said: "Our Ah Lang is not here, and we are on duty in the palace." ”

Li Zhiying frowned, turned around to leave, and suddenly saw a few guards of the General's Mansion standing next to the door, looking like they were going out, one of them led two horses, one of which was "dark clouds covered with snow", this horse was painted black all over the body, only the four horses were as white as snow below their knees.

Li Zhiying had seen Yang Fan ride this horse in Miyagi, of course, the master's mount was not changed at will, Li Zhiying was suspicious when he boarded, and then thought about it again and suddenly remembered that there was no court meeting today, this loyal general had never been to the court nine times out of ten, Li Zhiying was full of anger when he boarded, and his hands crossed his waist and posed in the shape of a big teapot.

Yang Fan hid behind the wall and secretly rejoiced, he was about to go out to visit Xue Huaiyi in Dayun Temple just now, when he looked up and saw the little devil getting out of the carriage, fortunately he flashed fast and was not seen by her. Yang Fan was secretly rejoicing, and he heard a crisp girl outside shouting: "Yang Fan! You come out! Yang Fan, you come out ......"

The gate of Princess Anle's mansion was opened, and more than ten servants escorted a clear oil car out of the door, and walked forward along the Longqing Pond, the shout in front of the Yang Mansion came, and a crisp and pleasant voice in the carriage suddenly ordered: "Stop!" ”

P: We sincerely ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets, thank you!! (To be continued......)
