Let Dur go to the aid of the Western Turks, Zhang Daxiang frowned when he heard this, and glanced at Xu Jingzong on the side, but he was not surprised, with a smile on his face.

Durr was silent for a long time, "Can I go back to the grassland?" ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "If you do things beautifully, of course I can let you go back to the grassland, although the soldiers and horses are outside, you will be free when you leave Chang'an City, but the Central Plains is a saying that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, if you think that you can make small moves behind your back to the Foreign Academy, then you will underestimate the Foreign Academy." ”

Looking at his expression, Zhang Yang continued: "Do you really think that Tian Khan will care about your life or death? Even if you and Tian Khan reached some kind of agreement, will he admit anything without will? Or are you steppe people too honest because you haven't read books? ”

"Reading the books of the sages is not necessarily a good person, the bad people who have read the books are worse than you, General Dur listened to me, and after the cell door was opened, you were a member of the Foreign Service."

Ashinadur lowered his head, "You took the Turkic pastures. ”

"I didn't take it, I just contracted, whether you believe it or not, this contracted deal is your willing, the little khan likes our cooperation now, at least the grassland can be peaceful and harmonious, of course, now the Turks have a part of the pastures under the name of Lishan, before the contract period is over, we will also protect this family business, if Xue Yantuo of Mobei wants to attack your Turks again, Datang will take the initiative."

"Don't worry, I, Zhang Yang, have a good reputation, and my words count."

"Your reputation? They all said that you Zhang Yang was ruthless, insidious, and cunning. Ashnadur whispered.

One day, when the good mood swept away, Zhang Yang waved his hands and said: "Who is talking bad about me every day in Chang'an City." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jingzong immediately saluted, "The lower officials are derelict in their duties, so they have to go to find out who is arranging Zhang Shangshu." ”

Unable to stand the musty smell here, Zhang Yang said: "I don't like to drag mud and water when I do things, so I promise or not to give a word." ”

Ashinadur bowed and saluted, "I promise, my promise is like an eagle on the grassland that will not regret it for life, follow left and right." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "By the way, our people are also by the side of Xiao Khan, and he is living happily now." ”

Looking at Zhang Yang's smile, Ashina Dur's eyebrows twitched, and he almost said that he could break Ashina's bloodline at any time.

Zhang Yang shouted towards the door of the dungeon: "Big brother, unlock and release people." ”

"Whoa!" Standing at the door of the cell, he hurriedly answered with a few jailers who were talking about the war in the past, picked up the key and walked quickly.

Zhang Yang took a step back, "Unlock the lock and let the people out." ”

The cell boss quickly unlocked the door and pushed it open.

At this moment, Ashinadur's clothes were in tatters, and there was still a smell on his body, Zhang Yang covered his nose, "Lao Xu, take him to wash and wash, and come to the post house to talk carefully." ”

Together, the two of them walked out of the prison door with Ashinadur.

The cell boss smiled and said, "Zhang Shangshu, this Turkic should chop him up and feed him to the dogs." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Don't worry, I chopped him sooner or later, and I never thought about making him feel better." ”

Hearing Zhang Shangshu say such words, the cell boss also shuddered, how could he say such cold words at a young age.

The people outside were right, sure enough! The big guys are ruthless.

The cell boss looked at him with a little more awe in his eyes.

The dungeon environment of this Dali Temple is very poor.

"If you live in a lot of places like this, you shouldn't have mental illness." Zhang Yang walked all the way and talked to himself.

Such a young man looked like a wicked person for a while, but now he looks like a kind person, which is incredible.

Zhang Yang walked out to the main hall of Dali Temple and saw Chu Liang sleeping on the table.

"My Tang Dynasty folk customs are simple, and it's really good that the road is not forgotten, um!"

Hearing the voice of admiration, Chu Liang looked up groggily, and then continued to sleep.

Zhang Yang walked up to the front and whispered, "Chu Shaoqing, I'll take the person away." ”

"Hmm."

Chu Liang Mihu responded.

Zhang Yang looked down at him with a frown, the security in Chang'an City was too good, causing the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to doze off while on duty.

Well, that's good.

The weather had been gloomy since the morning, and Zhang Yang looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and the north wind was whistling by.

Walking along Suzaku Street, from time to time, a group of officers and soldiers will run all the way through Suzaku Street.

In peacetime, Chang'an City does not have so many officers and soldiers.

It seems that because of last night's incident, some of them are busy.

Zhang Yang looked back at Dali Temple again, Chu Shaoqing should fall asleep for the time being, Dali Temple may be busy after a while.

Because Lu Dongzan, the bastard, set fire to the post house, the post house where the envoys of various countries live now has also been renovated, and the money is still from the Foreign Affairs Yuan.

Xu Jingzong stood at the door of the post house, "Zhang Shangshu has arranged it, we have washed this Ashinadur well, rubbed a lot of mud down, and ensured that there is no strange smell at all." ”

Zhang Yang walked towards the second floor of the post house.

Zhang Daxiang stood at the door of the room, "Zhang Shangshu has all arranged." ”

When I walked into this room, I saw Ashinadur trembling wrapped in a cloth.

Looking back at the two of them, Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Have you bathed people in cold water to see what they have frozen." ”

Xu Jingzong explained: "Cold water is more convenient, and I am afraid that it is a waste of time to boil hot water. ”

"Close the door, the next conversation will not be heard, trouble Brother Elephant is guarding the door."

Zhang Daxiang closed the door when he heard this.

Xu Jingzong closed the outside window, and the room became dark again.

"Lao Xu, is there pen and ink here?"

"Yes."

Xu Jingzong took down the pen and ink from the bookshelf on the side, spread out the precious rice paper, and began to sharpen the ink.

Zhang Yang sat down cross-legged and clasped his hands, "You can listen to my next words." ”

In this cold day, he was taken a cold shower, Ashina was still shivering at the moment, his beard was still dripping, and he nodded slowly.

"First of all, I can continue to let you take the Turkic soldiers and horses, those Turks have been stationed outside the city for some time, you have to take them all away."

Ashinadur still nodded.

Zhang Yang continued: "Once you lead your troops outside the plan of our Foreign Academy, whether it is Gaochang's soldiers and horses, or the Metropolitan Protectorate in the Western Regions, or the Turkic steppe, our people will always hunt you down, you understand. ”

Seeing that he still nodded, he was still honest.

"Now the envoys of the Western Turks are already on their way to Chang'an City, and they will continue to fight in the coming year, you go to the Western Turks at this time with soldiers and horses, and you are a lone army outside."

"You don't obey anyone's command on the surface, nominally you are a mercenary who has lost your homeland, anyone can hire you if they pay money, and you can also let the Western Turks hire you to fight, but they have to pay."

"As for the price from the first 1,000 yuan, every time it doubles, you have to help the weaker side every time, we can't figure out the situation when the Western Turks are fighting, and the news is also very lagging behind, and we need a soldier to maintain balance for them."

"When the weak side hires you, you accept and collect the money, and when the strong side hires you, you can pretend to accept the money, but you must remember that I have to maintain the balance, the longer they fight, the more money you make, and once the war is over, the money will be gone, you know?"

Seeing that Ashinadur had stopped trembling, he looked like he was thinking.

The Turks were uneducated, and Zhang Yang thought he had made his words simple enough.

"As for every money earned, ninety percent of it will be handed over to the Foreign Affairs Academy, we Western Turks still have Gaochang's soldiers and horses, you can ask Gaochang people to escort the silver money, and write a letter every half a month for Gaochang people to send to Chang'an City, once the letter is broken, Gaochang soldiers and horses will come to hunt you down as soon as possible."

"And now the Western Turks' Yakhu Khan and Ni Yi are very happy to help the Tang Dynasty, as long as our Foreign Affairs Yuan says a word, they can bite you back at any time and kill you all, do you understand the stakes?"

The man nodded.

I'm a little thirsty just by talking.

Zhang Yang sighed: "You summarize my words and say them." ”

"Whoa." Ashina first bowed and said: "We obeyed the arrangement of the Foreign Affairs Yuan to go to the Western Turks to be hired, and from the beginning of the 1,000 yuan, the price will be doubled every time in the future, and then write to the Foreign Affairs Yuan every half month, and the nine percent of the silver money we get will be sold to the Foreign Affairs Yuan. ”

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, "Very good, the old permission is to write a note." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded and began to write the note, and after writing, he asked Ashinaduri to draw and take down the handprint.

After packing up everything, Zhang Yang stood up, "You are free now, you can leave Chang'an City and go to the Western Turks after a good meal and a night's rest here." ”

"Does Tian Khan really not care if I live or die?"

"Do you know what happened to the Khan? It is better to believe in the Heavenly Khan than in me, honorable General Dur. ”

Zhang Yang saluted him.

Ashinadur's eyes widened, "You are the devil, you are a cunning and sinister person. ”

Listening to his cursed words, Zhang Yang walked out of the room.

Xu Jingzong asked in a low voice: "Zhang Shangshu, this matter can be done by Gaochang's soldiers and horses, why let him go?" ”

Zhang Daxiang replied: "Lao Xu, you usually look very smart. ”

Xu Jingzong was puzzled.

Zhang Daxiang explained: "Think about it, now that the whole of Chang'an knows that Gaochang's soldiers and horses listen to Zhang Shangshu's orders, do you think this kind of thing should be done by Gaochang people, what will happen to Zhang Shangshu?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Brother Elephant still understands me, what is our ideal of establishing the Foreign Academy." ”

Xu Jingzong stood still and said loudly: "World peace." ”

"That's right, that's a good point."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jingzong lowered his head and stepped forward again, "Zhang Shangshu, there will always be a day when this battle will be over." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "That's right." ”

Looking back at the Foreign Affairs Academy, from here you can see the room where Ashinadur is, Xu Jingzong whispered: "Zhang Shangshu, do you want to give this person a reward after the war is over?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Reward? I'm afraid you're not getting more and more lakesome. ”

Looking at him suspiciously, Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Is it because the work pressure of our Foreign Affairs Academy is too great, and your IQ has been worn out?" ”

Xu Jingzong blinked and stood in place, his face full of puzzlement, "IQ? ”

"It's your wisdom." Zhang Yang held his hands and continued to walk, "I always thought you were a smart person, do you think Ashina Dur will be rewarded?" On the surface, he was imprisoned this time because his war horse ate the crops, and our Foreign Affairs Yuan released him openly, as for what he did outside after he was released from prison, what does it have to do with us. ”

"Once the war of the Turks is over, no matter who will lead the Western Turks in the future, Ashinadur will be a hired lone army, he will help on both sides, and he will ask for a sky-high price, who do you think will let him go?"

"In the future, the people who will lead the Western Turks will sue in front of the Heavenly Khan for the crime of causing trouble in the Western Turks."

Xu Jingzong whispered: "Then do we have to intercede for him?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "What do you think? ”

"Mo ...... Could it be ......"

A few drops of rain fell, and the shouting and shouting in the streets came to an abrupt end, and people picked a place to prepare for the rain.

Some more ice particles are falling, and the first freezing rain of the year is coming, and before October, the cold is sweeping in from the north.

Zhang Yang walked with his steps and said loudly: "For the prosperity of Datang." ”

Seeing Xu Jingzong standing in place, Zhang Daxiang said in a low voice: "Old Xu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xu Jingzong came back to his senses, "For the sake of the people's hearts and stability of the Western Turks, the Western Turks will want to let Ashnadur die." ”

The crowd on the street walked towards the eaves on either side.

Zhang Yang's figure can no longer be found in the crowd.

The two of them were still standing in place, and Xu Jingzong suddenly smiled again, "In this way, Zhang Shangshu can become a big man and become the mainstay of the court." ”

I didn't know that Xu Jingzong had become relieved so quickly from his previous silence and surprise.

Zhang Daxiang often couldn't understand what Xu Jingzong was thinking, and he couldn't understand Zhang Yang's various behaviors, and he only had one sentence in his heart: for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity.

For the sake of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Daxiang is also willing to serve in the Foreign Affairs Academy, and his position in the six ministries is the same, all for the sake of Sheji.

Moreover, unlike the other six ministries, the Foreign Affairs Yuan has flexible decision-making and extensive manpower appointments, and such a thing as recovering the Western Regions and building the Anxi Protectorate was unthinkable before.

I followed Zhang Yang before because of his father's explanation, so I swallowed a lot of helplessness.

At the moment, Zhang Daxiang was able to stay in the Ministry of Rites to do things for Zhang Yang, and it was all because of a fire in his heart, and this fire was burning for the prosperity of Datang.

For two years, it has been like this.

The city gate posted a notice, Zhenguan nine years of spring and May to open the imperial examination, this incident made many scholars in Chang'an City sleepless all night, after the last imperial examination, some of the scholars who failed to stay in Chang'an City, want to find a job, want to stay in Chang'an.

Waiting for the next imperial examination, they never thought that the second imperial examination would come so quickly.

Chang'an City once again has a voice praising the Khan of today.

Ashinadur had a full meal at the post house, and he didn't plan to rest for a day first, so he changed his clothes and walked out of the post house.
