Yi Nan Khan first looked around, and then stepped into the Ministry of Rites.

He looked at Zhang Yang and Xu Jingzong and saluted slightly.

Zhang Yang poured him a bowl of tea, "Taste it, our tea." ”

Yi Nan Khan sat down and held the tea bowl, his expression was tangled and he didn't drink and put down the tea bowl, "Have you found the herd of cattle, sheep and horses?" ”

Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I'm investigating." ”

Yi Nan Khan saluted again, "Who took that away?" ”

Zhang Yang still shook his head, "It's investigating." ”

Yi Nan Khan glared, "Why didn't the Xue Yantuo warriors who came with him come...... Do you say ......"

Zhang Yang still sighed, "It's ......"

"Investigating?"

"Yes."

Zhang Yang looked embarrassed, "It's not easy to get it." ”

Yi Nan Khan's eyes were bloodshot, obviously he hadn't slept all night last night, "It's not easy?" ”

"Your warrior may have been killed."

Yi Nan Khan took the case, "Killed? ”

Zhang Yang was melancholy, "It may also be missing." ”

Yi Nan Khan punched the table, "My people, my cattle, sheep and horses are all gone to Datang, can't Datang give me an explanation?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled, "Is it to show your savagery?" This is Datang, not your Xue Yantuo tooth tent. ”

Yi Nan Khan gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Yang, "I can kill you with one punch." ”

Zhang Yang waved his hands, "Do you know what the consequences of your punch are?" ”

"What consequences."

"Sure enough, you don't have much wisdom like the Turks, so you should read some books."

"You're calling me stupid?"

"A Khan of Xue Yantuo punched the Tang Rite Department, the Ministry of Rites symbolizes the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, if you punch this punch, it will be a punch to the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, and Your Majesty will send troops to attack you."

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea.

Seeing that Yinan Khan fell silent, and he didn't drink the tea in the bowl, Zhang Yang picked up his tea bowl and poured the tea on the spot, "It's a waste for you to drink." ”

Yi Nan Khan was so angry that his whole body trembled, "I want Datang to give an explanation." ”

"Why?"

"It's just that something happened in the realm of Datang!"

"What Yi Nan Khan said is not right, it is you who did not protect your cattle and sheep, but you came to blame us Datang, do you want us to compensate you?"

Yi Nan Khan stood up again, "I really can't lose my temper with you. ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, Zhang Yang said again: "You can't lose your temper with our people of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"At the beginning, Xue Yantuo and the Tang Dynasty fought together against the Turks, and the Heavenly Khan would never ignore this matter, you dare to despise me!"

"The Khan should say that he ignored it, and the word contempt was not appropriate, and sure enough, he still read less."

Yi Nan Khan snorted coldly and quickened his pace to leave.

It was clear that the first conversation was not pleasant, and the Yinan Khan was angry and irritable.

Zhang Yang glanced at Xu Jingzong, "Brother Xu? ”

Xu Jingzong opened his eyes, "I just fell asleep, what did that guy say?" ”

Zhang Yang came back to his senses, "That guy said that Brother Xu is handsome and brave, and it is suitable to be his son-in-law to Xue Yantuo." ”

"Hahaha...... Zhang Shilang really loves to laugh. ”

After speaking, seeing Zhang Yang's serious appearance again, Xu Jingzong panicked, "He won't really say that." ”

Zhang Yang said in a low voice, "Pack up and prepare to be a son-in-law for Xue Yantuo." ”

Xu Jingzong stood up immediately, "Xiaguan already has a small family, and he will never be a son-in-law for Xue Yantuo, don't even think about it, I won't be the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Xu Jingzong took off his official uniform and official boots, "There are no good people in this court!" ”

"Okay, he didn't say anything, and he didn't let you be a son-in-law, he just lost his temper."

"Really?"

"But if you really go to Xue Yantuo to be a son-in-law for others, maybe you can go undercover for our Ministry of Rites."

Xu Jingzong sat down again, "Zhang Shilang, don't scare me anymore, it's really been too hard lately." ”

Zhang Yang pondered, "You said that if this Xue Yantuo Khan can't marry the princess, it seems that it is not bad to have a son-in-law." ”

"Anyway, this son-in-law can't be a subordinate official!" Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth, "Otherwise, the petty official will ...... I hit my head on the spot to thank the world! ”

"You said that you are a lot old, maybe you can't toss Xue Yantuo a few times, and you die on the spot, but what should I do? People don't look down on it either. ”

"Yes, yes, I can't look at it." Xu Jingzong soothed his frightened heart.

There were only two people in the empty Ministry of Rites, but he fell asleep, Xu Jingzong felt a little guilty in his heart, "That Yi Nan Khan didn't do anything to Zhang Shilang." ”

"That's not true, it's just a few cruel words." Zhang Yang put the kettle on the small tandoor.

"Things have come to this point, thinking about so many twists and turns this time, I'm afraid it's ...... to be with you"

"Yi Nan Khan left home, and now there are no livestock to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, the majestic Khan in the grassland is now a pig, His Majesty wants him to die, he can't live, it turns out that a person who is too angry will not be good."

"Huh?"

"It's what it means to show off." Zhang Yang took a sip of tea, "He has nothing now, Xue Yantuo is far away in the Mobei grassland, he can't let the army go south under his order, his order can't reach Mobei, a khan who has no capital and has lost his wings, how can he ask to marry a princess." ”

Zhang Yang looked at Xu Jingzong, "Maybe now Your Majesty is discussing with those people in the court how to divide Xue Yantuo." ”

Xu Jingzong gasped, and said in his heart that this court was full of wicked people.

The two sat for a while, speechless for a while, Xu Jingzong smiled: "There are still some rumors in this imperial city, have you heard of it?" ”

"What rumors?"

"I heard that this Yuan Daochang has dozens of hard-boiled eggs every day, and now he doesn't even dare to let go of duck eggs."

"Is there such a thing?"

"That's right, they all say that the cultivators are crazy, and Li Chunfeng is in retreat for three days and two ends, and every retreat is also crazy, there are two places in this imperial city to go around, one is the Qin Tianjian where Yuan Dao is located, and the other is the Taishi Bureau of Li Chunfeng Dao Chang."

Zhang Yanghu said suspiciously, "I didn't expect there to be such a strange news." ”

While the two were talking, Li Xiaogong came, and after he sat down, he picked up the tea bowl and drank it, "I heard that the Yinan Khan has come?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded.

"What did he say?"

"Said a few harsh words and left."

"No matter what, let him stay in Chang'an City, don't let him leave easily, the old man has already discussed with the guards of the various city gates, as long as he sees Yinan Khan, he will not let him go."

Li Xiaogong continued, "Don't worry, there are still 3,000 sheep and more than ten cattle in your fiefdom, and the rest of the old man has been handed over to the Wei Mansion, and the generals of the Wei Mansion have given the old man a little bit of thin noodles and earned a lot of silver." ”

"Three thousand guan has been placed in your fiefdom with the princess, you can take it yourself." Halfway through the words, Li Xiaogong was puzzled: "The old man can't figure it out, why would King Wei work as a coolie in the princess's fiefdom?" ”

Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "Losing weight is also a cure." ”

"Lose weight?"

"As the name suggests, minus the fat." Zhang Yang explained calmly.

"What a good boy for nothing, you have to make yourself skinny?"

"Being overweight is not good, and losing weight is also for good health."

Li Xiaogong told the matter again, and he distributed those cattle, sheep and horses to various guards.

Wei Fu took the benefits, so naturally he would not talk nonsense.

Although Xu Jingzong was doing things at night, Li Xiaogong still inquired along the way just in case, and many people saw the scene of a large herd of cattle and sheep passing through the village that night, and it was impossible not to disturb the villagers along the way.

To guard against Xue Yantuo Khan outside the Guan, those villagers were very cooperative, Li Xiaogong spent a few times to buy all the dozens of villagers along the way, the people in Guanzhong were fierce, and everyone was talking.

There were even villagers who cleaned up the horse dung and cow dung along the way, and everything was wiped out.

Now even if Dali Temple wants to check, no one can be found.

After saying this, Li Xiaogong shaved his beard with a dagger, and the sharp and cold knife was attached to the skin at the junction of his chin and neck.

"Xiaguan has two homemade razors, bring one to the king of Hejian tomorrow, such a shaving is scary, I don't know if I think I'm going to cut my throat and kill myself." Zhang Yang said worriedly.

Li Xiaogong just nodded in response.

Inside the palace, outside the Xingqing Palace, rain falls on the lake.

Li Shimin looked at the rain scene in front of him, "So everything was premeditated?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, "Right now, Dali Temple has gone to investigate, but the ministers found that there are soldiers from the Weifu Mansion who have brought a lot of war horses today, and these soldiers also have a past friendship with the king of Hejian County." ”

Li Shimin had a calm face, "Is it really Li Xiaogong who did it?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji replied: "This is not difficult to check, from the war horses, cattle and sheep added to the soldiers and horses of the various guards, it can be deduced that they are the livestock lost by the Yinan Khan before. ”

After finishing speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji waited for Li Shimin's response.

Li Shimin closed his eyes, "If it were you, what would you do?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed down and said: "The ministers will settle the accounts of each Wei Mansion, and each Wei Mansion will exchange war horses to erase the traces. ”

"Zhang Yang, this kid is still a little careless."

"It's not that they're careless, Dali Temple can't enter the army without His Majesty's will, so they won't be able to find anything."

After thinking for a while, the eldest grandson Wuji said again; "Presumably, Dali Siqing will come to see Your Majesty soon."

Li Shimin took the tea handed by the palace maid, "Then do you think I should agree to kiss each other?" ”

"Your Majesty, Yinan Khan has courage and no strategy, he just took advantage of the Turkic chaos to have today's power, Yinan Khan only cares about conquest and does not care about governance, such Xue Yantuo will not last long, sooner or later there will be a big incident, the minister thinks that such a person cannot be close to him, why should Your Majesty put him in his eyes."

Li Shimin smiled, "Auxiliary, you didn't speak like this before, I don't like your respectful appearance." ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, looked at the rain scene outside and was silent.

At the beginning, he was a close friend, then he was a general, then he was the king of Qin, and now he is His Majesty.

The friendship between the monarch and the minister is now a little complicated, and the eldest grandson Wuji is also very conflicted in his heart.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Guanyin, I value Zhang Yang very much, and your sister is very satisfied with this son-in-law." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile, "This kid is outstanding, he has the means, and he dares to ask for power from Zhongshu Province, but he is still young and has not experienced training." ”

Speaking of the word power, Li Shimin took a deep breath, "It's not so much the province of Zhongshu as the power of me." ”

"It is a good thing that the Ministry of Rites has diplomatic powers, Zhang Yang, a young man, acts maverick and has a tough hand, if the Turkic matter is done well, it is better to delegate power to the Ministry of Rites, in order to see the after-effects, and it can be taken back in the future."

Li Shimin listened and nodded, "Or will you take care of the overall situation." ”

"The minister is just doing what he can."

"It is said that the children of farmers can only farm, the children of blacksmiths can only make iron, the environment can create a person, and the cultivation of talents also needs a bad environment, you say that a farmer's children can both make iron and study, is it possible?"

The eldest grandson Wuji replied: "If the children of the farmers who live in hardship can only help their parents farm, he will only farm from now on." ”

"Zhang Yang is only a weak crown year, where did he get so much ability?"

"Your Majesty, there are many strange people in this world, and these strange people are often eccentric."

"I don't know what's going on lately, but I heard that Qingque goes to Lishan every day to work as a coolie, and I also like a game similar to Liubo."

"It must have something to do with Zhang Yang."

The little eunuch in the palace hurriedly came, "Your Majesty, Yi Nan Khan has already been to the Ministry of Rites." ”

"What do they say?"

"I had some quarrels with Zhang Shilang, and then left angrily."

"I see."

The eldest grandson Wuji also saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will retire first." ”

Li Shimin sighed: "Zhang Yang, this child is still young, you should take care of it more." ”

There are also a lot of young people to take care of in the court, and it is His Majesty's order and he can't help but obey, the eldest grandson Wuji bowed and saluted, "Huh." ”

Walking out of the Xingqing Palace, the drizzle made the eldest grandson Wuji upset, these things handled by the Ministry of Rites were somewhat rough, Zhang Yang was still a young man after all, he was not thoughtful and reckless.

I also have to help the Ministry of Rites erase some traces, this case cannot become an unsolved case, and Dali Temple must also investigate it openly.

Datang can't let people leave a handle, this matter has nothing to do with Datang, and then create a group of real culprits behind the scenes, let Dali Temple find out, and let Yinan Khan have a target for revenge.

This is the real end of this matter.

Where is it like the Ministry of Rites to do this without a beginning and an end.

The old man still has to help them with the funeral, and the eldest grandson Wuji is walking faster and faster.

Can't you come to inform the old man before doing this kind of thing?

It's nonsense!

If it weren't for Zhang Yang, he was still a talent and very talented, and he could take on some important responsibilities with a little teaching.

What he lacks is a teacher to lead the way, not an old bastard like Li Xiaogong.

Yinan Khan wanted to see His Majesty today, but he couldn't get in when he stood in front of Chengtian Gate, and there was no news when he asked people to report it.

Standing in the rain, he had resentment and anger in his heart, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were doing something perfunctory, and he must let the Heavenly Khan punish him.
