Tubo was silent, increased 20,000 troops on the Nanzhao border, and directly blocked the direct passage into Sichuan. Our king was furious and ordered the withdrawal of the soldiers and horses that had come to the aid of him. No credit to you? Zheng Huiban asked.

"A while ago, Tubo planned to capture Sichuan again, didn't I ask you to send a letter to King Nanzhao?" Wei Gao said calmly.

"The content of the letter is nothing more than an alliance with the Tang Dynasty to defeat Tubo together, and the words contain deep affection!" Zheng replied sarcastically.

"In duplicate, there is one letter that I pretended to be intercepted by Tubo, which made him even more suspicious of Nanzhao." Wei Gao feigned apology.

"It's just a matter of making something out of nothing, not just a false way." Zheng Hui said half-seriously.

Wei Gao said: "At the beginning, Ge Luofeng got the help of the Tang Dynasty and unified the six edicts. Subsequently, our court granted him the title of King of Yunnan, and this place had to recuperate. Build terraces, build a high river, not long, the family has five acres of mulberry, the country has nine years of storage, the strength can not be strong? Slowly, the heart of disobedience was born. Come to think of it, after all, it is Datang who suffers a loss, and raising tigers is a problem, and I am not allowed to cheat? ”

Zheng Huifang smiled and said gloomily: "I am the Ming Jing scientific expedition that I participated in during the Tianbao period, and served as the commander of Xilu County, Shanzhou, from 756 to 757 AD, the first Nanzhao Wang Ge Luofeng rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and led the army to capture this place. I was captured......"

Wei Gao hurriedly said: "Brother Hui stirred up unhappiness, it's all Chengwu's, let's try a few bottles of side dishes brought by Cui Zuo first." ”

When Cui Zuo heard this, he hurriedly pushed the porcelain bottle containing side dishes to the side, "Gong Zheng, please use it!" ”

Zheng Hui picked up the food chopstick and took several bites, and couldn't help but say: "This food, I know that it was sold by the old woman of the Cai family who is less than a hundred steps out of the county office." ”

Cui Zuo said with a smile: "Zheng Gong is a long-term lover, Cai's is old, and her bride does it according to her instructions, because of her good craftsmanship, she opened a hotel, and the business is not bad." ”

Zheng Hui laughed at himself: "What kind of love is not long-term love, I just listened to Chengwu call a few words, and I remembered the days when I was Zheng Hui." Now, people call me Manli, Zheng Manli. ”

Cui Zuo pointed to the side dishes and said, "Cai's asked me to bring you a few bottles of side dishes, with a few words." She said that it was your flexibility that kept the blood and blood of her family's nine generations from Nanban's hands. Now, she is teasing her grandchildren every day, and she has children who are happy on her knees, all thanks to your hard work! ”

Zheng Hui's chopsticks trembled, closed slightly, and stopped eating.

Wei Gao just wanted to move him with affection, so as to incite him to conspire. Seeing that the time was ripe, Fang Dao: "Jiannan Xichuan was defeated, Tubo moved to anger Nanzhao, killed a number of generals for no reason, and the title given to the king of Nanzhao was also reduced from Zampu Zhong to the king of Ridong. From a brotherly country to a subordinate state, the annual tribute that has been added year after year, can I not hate it? I'm not afraid that you will be annoyed, even the generals who have planted Tibet in the military fortress will die in its hands sooner or later, rather than being isolated and helpless one step later, it is better for the five alliances to assemble and fight back! ”

Wei Gao's pertinent tone was inadmissible for him to refute. Zheng sighed back: "The period of handsome prosperity is like climbing high and going to its ladder. Chengwu's move can not be described as not poisonous, that is, my Nanzhao licked his face and begged for peace, and it may not be willing to follow it. You are holding a knife to your neck to force my king to submit! ”

Wei Gao took the wine, poured two bowls full of two bowls, handed a bowl to Zheng Hui, and said: "I can't call the shots for anything else, but Emperor Tang has no intention of destroying Nanzhao, and the snow in front of his house has not been swept away, so how can he have any remaining strength!" ”

The two toasted each other, and Mingyi, Shang Chen, and Tong Cui Zuo also saluted with the contents of the bowl.

Zheng Hui knew that after the Anshi Rebellion, the vitality of the Li Tang Dynasty was greatly damaged, otherwise why would the alliance be used to destroy Hu? Yi Mu treats him well, as long as he keeps his throne, he is worthy of the kindness of their descendants, and he can be regarded as a successful retirement. After thinking about it again and again, Fang said: "Since you have the guts, I have to talk to you about [Tea Ah Xiu]." ”

Ming Yi drank the sweet and fresh coconut milk, and said rarely: "What is tea A Xiu?" ”

Zheng Hui saw that she was very clever, and said with a smile: "Yun Wuxin is out of Xiu, the edicts feel that the scenery of Xiu is very beautiful, tea is a holy object between heaven and earth, and the woman who came out of the cloud cave is worthy of entering the tea art." Therefore, it is used as a rhetoric for the selection of tea. Ah means girl in barbarian, and Cha Ah is the tea girl! ”

Ming Yi shook his head and said: "Tea is out of Xiu, just cooking tea, or is it brewing tea as a local method?" ”

Zheng looked back with a hint of surprise, "It's okay, if you can make tea, the taste is not much different from cooking tea, it's better." ”

Ming Yi had a hill in her heart, and said: "Don't arrange flowers, don't hang paintings, don't burn incense?" ”

Zheng replied: "Do you know that in addition to the nobles of Wang and Sun in Nanzhao, there are very few ordinary people who can be taught formal Chinese studies. Burning incense, arranging flowers and hanging paintings, without years of hearing and seeing, there are some poems and rituals in the stomach as the base, and there is absolutely no trace of elegance. Yes, it's not that you don't ask for it, but you can't afford it! ”

Ming Yi said: "According to Zheng Gong, Cha Ah Xiu, what is the difficulty!" Is it also worth saying? ”

Zheng looked back at her not like a newborn calf, she didn't know how to fear tigers, but because of her character, she continued: "Because my king advocates sinology, he imitates the Spring and Autumn Festival sacrifice of the Tang Emperor, and seals the five mountains and four desecrations. In the near future, he will be sacrificed at the Zhongyue Shrine, and he will bump into the visit of envoys from various countries. The queen said, 'Let the envoys go with them to see the snowy scenery of the mountains,' and the king agreed. Therefore, in addition to the sacrifices, the female envoys who serve as tea makers must be considerate of the envoys of various countries. Exquisite tea art, courage, and improvisation, all three are indispensable. ”

Wei Gao swallowed the garlic and dipped the meat, and said: "Don't look at Ming'er as only ten years old, when it comes to the heart, there are no less than a hundred thousand, not to mention the courage, even Shang Er taught her to act." How to let the Tibetan envoys take this opportunity to provoke your king and anger other envoys, this is the important thing. ”

Zheng Hui tore some legs on the frozen rabbit meat, and said proudly: "The queen is not on good terms with Concubine Chen. ”

Cui Zuo said knowingly: "The concubine you are talking about, but the first dancing girl given by Tubo, Luo Xiangchen?" ”

Zheng Hui nodded and smiled: "Exactly!" She and the envoys who visited this time are said to be two little guesses......"

Ming Yi chewed a lot of goosepaw duck letters in a row, couldn't help but pick up Shang Chen's wine bowl, and took a sip of hot wine to disperse. Listening to Zheng Hui talking about Concubine Chen's secrets, he became interested, and smacked his tongue: "If the people see them fornicating, hehe, won't there be a reason for disrespect and disloyalty." It's enough to start a war and break off diplomatic relations! ”。

Zheng looked back at Wei Gao, Wei Gao looked at Cui Zuo, Cui Zuo looked at Shang Chen, Shang Chen ate the remaining wine in the bowl, and said calmly: "I didn't teach it." ”
