Chapter 306: The Choice Is Made! I am the state of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty!
Ah Bao and Zhao Hai both looked a little bad, and the envoys of Nanzhao were clearly deliberate, deliberately making trouble for Shen Lian.
However, Shen Lian's expression remained unchanged.
He smiled and said, "Dare to ask the name of the envoy of the Nanzhao Kingdom? ”
The envoy of Nanzhao arched his hand and said: "No, the minister of Nanzhao, Wang Chengdao." ”
"Wang Chengdao?"
Shen Lian said: "This name is very similar to my name of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Wang Chengdao said calmly: "It's just a name, it's just a code name, what's the difference?" Does Datang still want to deprive the official of the right to take a name? ”
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Of course not, the official just thinks that this name is the same as a rebellious minister and thief in my Tang Dynasty, so I was a little surprised.......Oh, the official didn't point to Sang and scolded Huai, and asked the king's envoy to forgive me." ”
Wang Chengdao: "......."
I didn't expect you to point at Sang and scold Huai.
Now I know!
You might as well not explain!
Ah Bao and Zhao Hai had a burst of fun, let you make trouble for Commander Shen, you deserve to be scolded!
Shen Lian's expression still did not change, his gaze swept over these envoys, and he said: "The envoy of the king is right, you have come from afar, and my Datang is a state of etiquette, normally speaking, you should arrange accommodation in advance." ”
"And in fact, this official has really made a lot of preparations to welcome your arrival."
Shen Lian pointed to the post stations behind him that looked very exquisite, and said: "Don't hide it from you, when the official knew that you would come, he began to personally supervise the Ministry of Industry, repair the post station, and integrate the unique star imagery of my Datang, and carefully build the courtyards where each envoy group lives, so that you can live at ease, and you can also feel the unique cultural atmosphere of my Datang." ”
"It's just that the official was only trying to bring you an excellent living experience at that time, but after it was built, he suddenly discovered one thing, which made it difficult for the official for a while, so he didn't directly arrange which courtyard you would live in."
When the envoys heard this, some of them wondered, "What is it?" ”
Shen Lian said: "In my Tang Dynasty, there is an economic record that there are one hundred and eight stars in the stars of the Beidou system, and these one hundred and eight stars are divided into thirty-six stars of Tiangang and seventy-two stars of the earth, which is to consolidate the stars of the Beidou. ”
"And it just so happens that there are a total of one hundred and eight countries that came to Datang this time, so the official ordered someone to repair the post station in the manner of one hundred and eight stars of the Big Dipper."
Although it is said that all nations will come to the court, it will not really come to 10,000 countries.
Only one hundred and eight countries came to Datang this time.
And this still includes all the countries around Datang, large and small.
Big countries, such as the Great Eater Turks, needless to say.
A small country may have a population of more than 100,000, which is not comparable to a large country.
But because it is in the cracks of a big country, it survives safely.
In this way, one hundred and eight countries were gathered.
Otherwise, normally, there are only dozens of countries in the sky.
"One hundred and eight stars....... so what?" Sometimes the envoys are puzzled.
Wang Chengdao, the envoy of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, seemed to think of something, and his face changed slightly.
And Shen Lian sighed at this time and said: "One hundred and eight stars, it is divided into thirty-six stars of Tiangang and seventy-two stars of earth!" ”
"And as we all know, the thirty-six Tiangang and the seventy-two earths are different in status, and even the rankings in their own system are different."
"So ......."
Shen Lian sighed and said: "This official has made a difficulty, you say, who is this official going to arrange into the Thirty-six Tiangang?" Who will be placed in the seventy-two hells? And after arrangement, how should the ranking be set? ”
"So, this official is waiting for everyone to come over, I want to listen to everyone's opinions, who is going to live in the thirty-six Tiangang, who is going to live in the seventy-two earths, this ....... Why don't you choose for yourself? Or do you vote? ”
Shen Lian sighed and said his troubles.
When these envoys heard this, some people hadn't reacted yet, but some people changed their faces with a brush.
Such as the prince of Tubo, the great prince of Tiele, the envoy of Nanzhao, the envoy of Goguryeo, and so on.......
The faces of these people have changed.
Only then did they realize that this Shen Lian of Datang was too special!
No wonder they didn't have a place to stay, and they were waiting for them here!
Thirty-six days of gang, seventy-two earth evils!
It's status!
The fact that the envoys live there indicates their own country's position among these one hundred and eight countries!
So, who doesn't want to break their head and go to live in the Thirty-six Tiangang?
After all, this is the only way to show the strength and status of one's country.
But thirty-six Tiangang, just that number, who will go? Who doesn't go?
Not to mention, within the thirty-six Tiangang, there is also a ranking!
Who wouldn't want to live in the first place?
And this ....... inevitable, it will make each other have a competitive mind.
Even for a place to live, the head was beaten and the blood flowed.
And once that's the case.......
Then the so-called alliance before they came to Datang has become a complete joke!
Don't talk about dealing with Datang!
is just a place to live, so you have to make internal coaxing, and even turn against you.
At this moment, Shen Lian only used one place to live, and directly let their plan come to naught!
This.......
The prince of Tubo couldn't help but look at Shen Lian squarely.
The envoy of Nanzhao also squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Lian's expression, there was no sense of relaxation, only solemnity.
This is a sinister and ruthless man!
Inside the courtyard of the post station.
All the envoys had different expressions.
Some people are domineering and confident, some are frowning and worried, some are casual, and more are full of thoughts, and their expressions flicker when they look at other envoys.
Different identities, different ideas, at this moment, on the faces of these envoys, are vividly expressed.
Shen Lian's gaze swept over their faces one by one, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
I saw him suddenly turn around, walk to the two billboards covered by red cloths, and then, under the puzzled gaze of all the envoys, grab the red cloth on the bulletin boards, and pull hard--
Two huge wooden plaques appeared directly in everyone's sight.
The two wooden plaques are the same size, except that one wooden plaque is painted with gold lacquer, which looks golden, while the other wooden plaque is painted with silver lacquer, which also looks very expensive.
If this wooden sign is only painted with silver paint, just looking at it, it will definitely make people can't help but admire, what a big deal, it is really silver crushed and smeared.
But at this moment, next to the silver paint, there is a gold paint, which makes the silver paint instantly compared.
And at the top of these two expensive wooden signs, there are quaint big characters!
Above the gold-lacquered wooden plaque, the words "Tiangangyuan" are written.
Above the silver-lacquered wooden plaque, the words "Disha Courtyard" are written.
And in the center of the wooden plaque, the names of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Stars and the seventy-two Earth Evil Stars are marked according to the sequence, and at the same time, there is an empty piece behind the name.
Obviously, it was supposed to be reserved for the envoys who stayed there.
Wherever the envoys of any country stayed, the name of that country would be written on it.
At that time, people who came and went, as long as they passed through the courtyard and entered the post station, could naturally see where the envoys of various countries lived.
In the same way....... it can be seen from this which country has what status it has in the one hundred and eight countries!
Whether it lives in Tiangang Courtyard or in Disha Courtyard.
Is it number one, or is it last!
What is at stake is the face of a country, the status of a country, the majesty of a country, and the strength of a country!
Of the envoys present, there were very few stupid ones, but many of them were very wise.
So as soon as he saw the sign of Tiangang and Disha, he understood that Shen Lian was still playing some trick.
This is clearly to rank countries here!
And in the rankings, there will definitely be fights, there will definitely be people who are jealous, and there will definitely be people who are not convinced!
When the time comes, contradictions will naturally arise!
So any union, any agreement, will be gone!
And even if they knew about it....... there was nothing they could do.
Because this is an excellent opportunity to show their national strength and status, strong countries have always looked down on weak countries.
For a strong country, living in Tiangang Courtyard is a certainty.
There is no suspense at all!
And those who live in Tiangang Courtyard are all strong countries, and there is a clear distinction between weak countries.
This will make those powerful countries feel respected.
Why wouldn't they do it?
As for the opinion of the weaker? Who will listen!
For example, if they are as strong as a big food country, as strong as a Turk, and let them live with a small country with only a few tens of thousands of people, isn't that stumbling on them?
So even if these envoys understood Shen Lian's meaning and knew Shen Lian's tricks, there was nothing they could do.
This is a Yang Mou!
A majestic and righteous conspiracy!
Conspiracy, you can dodge!
Yang conspiracy, there is no way to hide, there is no way to avoid it!
The Tubo prince glanced at Shen Lian and sneered: "That subordinate of the King of Chu in the Tang Dynasty? It's really worthy of its reputation, no wonder your King Chu can destroy the Turks, this kind of unsightly trick is very slippery. ”
When Shen Lian heard this, he was not annoyed at all.
He just smiled and said, "What does His Royal Highness the Prince of Tubo mean by this? Why can't I understand? ”
He Lalen snorted: "Shen Lian, don't treat everyone as fools. ”
Shen Lian said unexpectedly: "Fool? Nope! This official has always regarded you as honored guests, how can you be a fool? ”
He looked at Hela in surprise and said, "Your Highness the Turks, there is a saying in my Tang Dynasty, which is called the benevolent and the wise see the wise, and the official treats you as a distinguished guest, but you say that the official treats you as a fool?" This only seems to show that Your Highness, you should not think of yourself as a fool, right? This ......."
Shen Lian was very surprised and said, "Is this the usual modest way of Tubo?" ”
"Hahahaha!"
As soon as Shen Lian's voice fell, many people immediately burst into laughter.
Tibet is here, although it is valued by many people because of its strong national strength, but Tibet also has enemies, and there are many countries whose national strength is not much worse than that of Tibet, so they are not afraid of Tibet.
At this moment, when they heard Shen Lian's ridicule, they all immediately looked at the joke.
"You ......."
When he heard these piercing laughter, his face suddenly became extremely annoyed, he wanted to reprimand Shen Lian, but when he saw Shen Lian's calm and gentle face, he couldn't spit out anything when the words reached his throat.
Because he couldn't think of a rebuttal, after all, he brought it up himself.
And this made his whole body tremble even more.
These Tang people are so insidious, their fists are not good, but they are unforgiving!
It's disgusting!
Shen Lian shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Hela's angry but helpless appearance.
Not only did I not want to find trouble with Heola at this time, but it turned out that Hexila sent himself to the door to find scolding, who can I blame?
He chuckled lightly and ignored Chella, it's not time yet, the fun things will come slowly.
He looked at the others and said, "I believe that everyone is a smart person, so no matter how much there is, the official will stop talking nonsense, everyone will stand here for a while, and after a while, it will be dark." ”
"So, let's not waste any time."
"Tiangang Courtyard, there are a total of thirty-six courtyards, which can be used for the envoys of the thirty-six countries to live!"
"The Disha Courtyard, there are a total of seventy-two courtyards, which can be used by the envoys of seventy-two countries to live!"
"And the residents will write the name of the country on these two signs, and when the time comes, if you want to find each other, you can also go directly according to the name on it, which is very convenient."
"So ......."
Shen Lian's gaze swept over the faces of these envoys with different expressions, and said, "How do you think you should choose where you live?" ”
All the envoys, you look at me, I look at you, but no one speaks at this moment.
Seeing this, Shen Lian seemed to have expected it and was not surprised.
He said: "Since everyone is so humble, then so be it, everyone can choose at will, where you want to live, you can go directly, if there are many people's choices, then it is up to you to negotiate, and finally decide who lives where, how?" ”
He doesn't say anything ranking.
Doesn't make much sense.
On the contrary, it will ignite the fire and make these envoys dissatisfied with themselves.
So, he simply let them choose!
Choose whatever you want.
Weak countries can also settle in Tiangangyuan.
Of course....... if he is driven away, he is not to blame.
It's already good to let them choose freely by themselves, without mandatory arrangements.
When the time comes, they will be driven away, and even if they are resentful, they will resent those powerful countries that drove them away.
In this case, the alliance of these countries will naturally be suspicious and even collapse directly!
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Lian's voice fell, some of the envoys' expressions were already moved.
But still no one went out and chose directly.
They are all waiting for a leader.
They are not in a hurry, and Shen Lian is naturally not in a hurry.
He gave Ah Leopard a look, and Ah Leopard directly moved a small table and a chair.
Shen Lian sat down, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and then drank the tea gracefully.
As he drank, he smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, look at this day, the sun has set in the west, do you want to stand in the courtyard tonight and rest?" ”
"Of course, my Datang is a state of etiquette, and I will do my best to meet your requirements, and you can rest in the courtyard if you want."
