Seeing a team of soldiers and horses passing through the street, holding a flag in his hand, Zhang Yang was curious: "Where have you gone to increase troops recently?" ”

Xu Jingzong replied: "I heard that there was a disturbance near Qinghe, and His Majesty asked the military department to send troops to take a look." ”

"Qinghe?"

Zhang Daxiang said: "The situation on the Qinghe side is turbulent, and it is strange that the DPRK and the Central Government have not received a report from the Qinghe side. ”

Tian Khan and Qinghe Cui's seven-hundred-year-old family are on the bar.

On one side is the Tian Khan who is still ambitious, and the Qinghe Cui clan is the gate valve that has been entrenched in the Central Plains for more than 700 years.

These two parties are fighting, and there will be good shows to watch in the future.

Out of his own position and situation, Zhang Yang hopes that Li Shimin can win.

If Li Shimin loses, the Qinghe Cui clan will call on tens of thousands of scholars to discredit this heavenly khan.

It will even affect Lishan's business, and he should share the same hatred with his father-in-law.

Zhang Yang took a sip of mutton soup, "Brother Elephant, the Imperial History Rites Department has inquired about our accounts. ”

In addition to Xu Jingzong and Zhang Daxiang, the three of Dasu knew the origin of the money in the Foreign Affairs Academy, and there was only one of His Majesty.

Of course, there is also a Cheng Chumo, and Chumo can rest assured.

If he confesses, the Cheng family will also be implicated.

Xu Jingzong took a sip of tea, "Actually, this matter is easy to do, as long as we don't say it, they will think that these coins are from Lishan." ”

Zhang Daxiang said in a deep voice: "The Foreign Affairs Yuan has always had accounts, which can be presented to them. ”

Zhang Yang waved his hands and said: "We also have to deal with the Japanese people." ”

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Xu Jingzong pondered and explained in a low voice: "This matter can be done by Chu Mo to help and take away the Japanese people who know the inside story." ”

After a few people discussed for a while, they had some plans.

In a wine shop in Pingkangfang, Chang'an City, Xu Jingzong came to a room, and An Yanyan was still drinking.

"How is the messenger doing?"

"Everything's fine."

These days, Xu Jingzong has been taking him to eat, drink and have fun, this guy is different from other messengers.

It seemed to him that the rest of the messengers were a little silly, only this guy looked more calm.

Xu Jingzong sat down cross-legged, "Actually, you don't care about the lives of the Western Turks at all, do you?" ”

An Yanyan smiled and said, "I came to Chang'an to congratulate the Heavenly Khan for Ye Hu Khan. ”

Xu Jingzong poured him a drink, "You are not a Western Turk, and your descendants of the Zhaowu Nine have never really belonged to any side. ”

"Is it the Khan's arrangement to let Ashnadur go to the Western Turks?"

"What do you think?"

Xu Jingzong asked rhetorically.

In the face of this guy, there is a feeling of meeting an opponent in chess, An Yanyan looked at Sven and polite, looking at his confident appearance, Xu Jingzong wanted to laugh in his heart, how many such people finally fell into the hands of Zhang Shangshu.

An Yanyan took out a book, "This volume of Red Mansion was written by Zhang Shangshu?" ”

Xu Jingzong nodded, "However, this book has been listed as a banned book by the scholars." ”

An Yanyan raised his head and said: "Zhang Shangshu is brilliant, he can write such a wonderful story, as soon as this book came out two years ago, he sent people to Chang'an City to buy it, as well as Liang Zhu and the West Chamber, all of which are very good stories." ”

"It is a pity that these books are also circulated among various small countries in the Western Regions, and I admire these stories of Zhang Shangshu very much, but I couldn't speak with Zhang Shangshu before Chengtian, it's a pity, I don't know if Xu Shilang can introduce them."

Xu Jingzong has also read the story of the Red Mansion, and he was a little stunned at the moment, but he didn't expect An Yanyan to admire Zhang Shangshu so much.

"What kind of temperament is our Shangshu, I think you've heard of it, not everyone can easily see him."

An Yanyan let out a long sigh, "It's a pity. ”

Xu Jingzong got up and closed the door, "Don't say dark words tomorrow, Ye Hu Khan has your Zhaowu nine surnames by his side to provide weapons and grain and grass, and our Foreign Affairs Yuan is not worried about you." ”

An Yanyan said again: "Could it be that Ashinadur came to the Western Turks really for peace? I heard about Zhang Shangshu, and that day in the Taiji Hall also won a Tibetan celestial, as early as the beginning, there were rumors in the Western Regions that Zhang Yang was a wise man. ”

"The subordinates have always admired wisdom and don't like brute force, if Zhang Shangshu can let Ashinadur leave the Western Turks, Zhaowu Jiu will be grateful to the Foreign Affairs Academy, and give tens of thousands of silver coins."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was tens of thousands of times, and his tone was quite big.

If it weren't for his position in the Foreign Affairs Academy, maybe he would have agreed to his conditions.

Xu Jingzong frowned and looked at him, "Once Ashnadur leaves the Western Turks, Yehu Khan can recover the Western Turk tribes in a short period of time, and you can get huge benefits from it, yes or no?" ”

An Yanyan nodded without denying it, "Isn't this what the Foreign Affairs Yuan wants?" ”

"Can you leave Yehu Khan at this time?"

"I spent so much money to support Ye Hu Khan, if I quit now, wouldn't it be a loss, Zhang Shangshu has a huge family business, if you can hand over the cotton cloth manufacturing method, you can consider leaving in Xia."

Xu Jingzong nodded and stood up and opened the door.

An Yanyan said again: "Xu Shilang is leaving?" ”

Xu Jingzong replied: "Since the envoy has already explained the conditions, this is enough. ”

In the evening, idle people gathered on the streets of Chang'an City, and they walked out of the alleys in groups and walked on Suzaku Street.

People work all day, and at this moment there are people coming and going back to the city and out of the city.

Now in this most lively time, even if there is some chaos, the government can't control it.

Outside Chang'an City, three fast horses left and headed west.

It wasn't until curfew that Chang'an City returned to tranquility.

Zhang Yang was wearing clothes and glanced at the messy bed, and his daughter-in-law was still sleeping soundly.

The daughter in the cradle was still asleep, Zhang Yang pinched her little face, and she woke up with this pinch.

The cry sounded, and Zhang Yang hurriedly picked her up and coaxed her.

Li Yue woke up in a daze, "The child is awake?" ”

Seeing her loose clothes drooping, her expression was not energetic.

Zhang Yang put the child in her arms, hugged her waist, "Go to the village in the afternoon, go and set up the yard of your new home." ”

Realizing that her husband's hand was starting to be dishonest again, Li Yue dodged, "It's time for your husband to go to court." ”

Zhang Yang withdrew his hand and walked out of the house to find that it was raining, and the hateful early dynasty, if he wasn't in a hurry, he could still make a breakfast for the family.

Picking up the small oil umbrella that his daughter-in-law usually uses, Zhang Yang stepped out of the house, and the cold wave that swept from the northwest arrived in the warm Guanzhong.

Under the clash of warm and cold climates, what was supposed to be snowy became a rainy day.

The genius was bright, and the streets were dark at the moment.

The rain falls on the umbrella surface and becomes a curtain of water in front of you.

Feeling uncomfortable not eating breakfast, Zhang Yang bought a cake from a roadside vendor to cope with his stomach.

The official boots stepped on the wet ground, and Zhang Yang continued to walk while holding an umbrella in one hand and eating cakes.

Walking into Suzaku Gate from Suzaku Street is the Imperial City.

The officials who rushed to the court hurried and ran all the way.

Only Zhang Yang's footsteps were idle, and when he came to the ceremonial department, Li Baiyao and Xu Jingzong were hiding from the rain under the eaves.

"Have you eaten?" Zhang Yang held this big naan cake in his hand.

I couldn't finish it for a while, so I broke the naan cake and divided it among the two.

Xu Jingzong took it and nodded: "It's true that I haven't eaten it yet." ”

Li Baiyao also took the cake.

A few more officials hurried past the door.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "How are things going?" ”

Xu Jingzong finished the cake in a few bites, "Everything is arranged, and I received a reply early in the morning, and the messenger still wants to plot the cotton cloth manufacturing technique of Lishan." ”

Cotton cloth manufacturing and papermaking are the core technologies of Lishan, and they are also the source of wealth.

Li Baiyao walked out of the eaves and hurriedly walked towards Chengtianmen.

"I talked to him yesterday, and this person admires Shangshu very much, but he doesn't want to back down from his words, so he can only ask General Chu Mo to help."

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "First of all, he is a person, as long as he is a person, there is a way to solve him." ”

"Xia Guan understands."

In a street in the west of Chang'an City, there are mostly people from outside the West Market, and most of the people who live here are Turkic or Western Regions.

When An Yanyan woke up, he found that he was tied up, unable to speak with a cloth in his mouth, and he tried to make a sound, but there was only a closed door in front of him.

You can hear the sound of rain outside the house and the rain falling from the roof into the house.

It's messy and smelly.

Finally, a figure appeared in front of the door, and he heard the sound of the lock being opened, and two big men were greeted by him.

Before he could see the other person's face clearly, the fist came to him.

Enduring the beating, An Yanyan wanted to scold.

After a severe beating, the big man in front of him spoke.

"How much money did they give us?"

"It's three hundred dollars."

"How is this guy going to be placed?"

"Lock it up first, kill it or let it go, wait for their orders."

Hearing that he was going to kill himself with three hundred dollars, An Yanyan struggled and wanted to say that he could give more money.

Soon the two men left again, and they locked the door again.

There are many envoys to Datang this time, and these envoys have come to Chang'an City to ask for something.

So much so that no one would care if there were one or two messengers missing the next day.

Maybe I went back early.

The room of the Western Turk envoy An Yanyan was empty, and even the Western Turks who escorted him were nowhere to be seen.

No one inquired about the whereabouts of these Western Turks.

The envoys were still immersed in the bustle.

At the end of the early dynasty, the rain also stopped, Zhang Yang frowned and walked out of the Taiji Palace, Chu Mo had already sent someone to send a letter to Gaochang, asking Gaochang people to inquire about the whereabouts of the surname Zhaowu Jiu.

The surname Zhaowu Jiu has been in the Western Regions for so long, and he has many intelligence and information channels, and he also admires the cohesion of their lineage.

It would be best if these people could be used by the Foreign Service.

If they can't contribute to the society, it is better to kill them quickly, now they can get a kick in the chaotic Western Turks, and they may be even more courageous in the future.

The area in the Western Regions is very chaotic, and there are many unstable factors, so we still have to plan more in the future, and the results that the Foreign Affairs Yuan wants cannot let these people rob the cake.

Zhang Yang turned right from the Taiji Hall and walked towards the Manna Hall.

After His Majesty descends to the court, he will have dinner in the Ganlu Palace.

When he arrived at the front of the palace, the old eunuch Wang Gonggong, who was accompanying Li Shimin, was really standing here.

Zhang Yang greeted with a smile: "Your Majesty is here?" ”

The prince bowed down and said, "Wait a minute, the county marquis." ”

He turned around and entered the palace to report, and came out after a while, "Your Majesty said that the county marquis will enter the palace, and there is no need to report if you want to come to see him in the future." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yang walked into the hall and whispered, "The Imperial Historical Observatory has set its sights on the Foreign Affairs Academy." ”

Li Shimin is eating a bowl of rice, and there are some vegetable leaves in the meal, and the rice can be eaten with vegetable leaves.

Seeing this kid's troubled look, Li Shimin finished the food in the bowl, "I really thought that you and Xu Xiaode were good friends, but I didn't think he could find out about you." ”

Zhang Yang simply sat down on the side, "He is upright, and he is bent on serving the society and will not take care of my relationship with him." ”

Li Shimin wiped his mouth and asked the inner eunuch to remove the bowl, "You can take care of the villagers in Lishan, and you have never thought about getting anything from the villagers. ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Since Your Majesty is clear, I will now share the spoils with Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"If Your Majesty doesn't want it, then forget it."

"Wait." Li Shimin stopped him with his head bowed, "I didn't think before, the records in the classics said that the island was barren and the country was not like a country, since they were able to send silver mines over again and again, I believe your words now." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, do you want to send troops to capture Goguryeo now, and then use Goguryeo as a dock to build ships and attack the Wa Kingdom?" ”

Knowing that His Majesty likes to drink tea after dinner, the prince made a bowl of tea and put it in front of His Majesty.

I made another bowl of tea and handed it to Zhang Yang.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Look at these envoys, they attach so much importance to etiquette, it is not reasonable for me to easily send troops to attack them this time. ”

"This matter is easy to do, I have people pretend to be it, and throw garbage in front of Chengtian Gate to attack with the crime of great disrespect."

Looking at his son-in-law, Li Shimin was speechless for a while.

Zhang Yang said again: "What does Your Majesty think?" ”

"I have the world in mind, and I should let the four seas surrender, how can I make such a decision."

"The minister understands, there are some things that Your Majesty can't do, you can let others do it, you cherish your reputation."

"I haven't said anything like that."

"Your Majesty, can you give me manpower?"

"How many people do you need?"

The princes and ministers in the palace talked in a low voice, and half an hour of conversation decided the fate of the Wa Kingdom.

The conversation went very smoothly, and Zhang Yang was in a good mood when he walked out of the Ganlu Palace.

"Brother-in-law!" Li Zhi stood not far away and shouted, and then ran quickly.

"Is there anything wrong with His Royal Highness King Jin?"

Li Zhi ran closer, grabbed his brother-in-law's sleeve and said aggrievedly: "I can't solve it, how to solve that problem?" ”

"Does His Royal Highness King Jin know about cupping?"

Li Zhi couldn't help but shake his head.

Zhang Yang whispered: "In fact, the flame burns and consumes a part of the air, you can ask Lu Zhaolin of the Imperial Doctor's Department for the specific reason, there are similar records in the prescription, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin can try to understand it from this aspect." ”

"Just ask."

waited for the palace maid who protected Li Zhi to chase after him, and saw that Li Zhi ran away again.

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "If you don't walk well, you have to run, the child is the most lively time, and it is hard." ”

The two palace maids ran all the way red, and glared at the young Ministry of Rites with resentment, unable to say what was wrong.

They gritted their teeth and followed Li Zhi's footsteps again, running all the way.

"The county marquis is so young, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he has the trust of His Majesty, he is talented and can write stories such as the book Red Mansion Liang Zhu, and these little girls in the palace often discuss it." The prince didn't know when he was standing behind him.

Do the eunuchs in this palace walk silently?

Zhang Yang subconsciously looked back.
