Chapter 446: Rising to the Top
In Xiaojiazhuang, Li Xueyan, who had stumbled all the way and walked dozens of miles, was already unkempt, and was lying in the arms of Princess Xiangcheng at this time, crying aggrievedly, and no longer saw the demeanor of the royal women in the past.
Xiao Rui looked straight at the flowers, and said in his heart What's wrong? Li Daozong's daughter came to my Xiaojiazhuang alone? Looking at this image, those who don't know think that they have been robbed halfway.
Leaving the two sisters to talk in the back house, Xiao Rui chatted with Li Junxian in the front yard.
"Childe, there is information from Chang'an, saying that the ministers have discussed the results, and there is only one daughter of the clan who is of the right age to marry, but so many countries come to ask for marriage, and in the end, who the princess marries will depend on their own ability."
Xiao Rui immediately laughed after hearing this, "Who is this, who has come up with such a murderous and heart-wrenching plan." Wait, could it be that the daughter of the clan they elected was the one just now? ”
Li Junxian nodded.
Xiao Rui covered her eyes weakly, saying that the inertia of history is great, and she still can't escape the tragic fate of going to make peace.
Li Junxian whispered: "Childe, everyone knows that you are the most opposed to harmony. Now what? If they really succeed in making peace with their relatives, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? Moreover, this county lord came at this time, obviously asking for help and refuge. Everybody knows you don't have a good relationship with her father......"
Xiao Rui nodded, and said with the same worry: "Yes, this is a problem for me!" ”
"Let's put aside my personal grudge with his father, she is Xiangcheng's cousin after all, even if it is not, but it is a matter of harmony, I will never stand idly by."
"The problem is, I'm grounded now, and so many talented people in the court can't discuss a way, how can I break this dead end?"
Li Junxian said embarrassedly: "Huh? Do you ask me? This...... You can't think of a good idea, what do I have in mind? ”
"Why don't you ask Princess Changle to ride a tiger down the mountain and beat those people away?"
Xiao Rui: "Ahem...... Fifth brother, this is really a bad idea. Isn't this bad Changle's reputation? ”
"Then I really don't have an idea." Li Junxian spread his hands and lay down directly.
Xiao Rui sighed and said: "That's it, let people live here first, if it doesn't work, use a procrastination trick, and then drag it out for a while." They won't come to my Xiaojiazhuang to rob people, right? ”
Li Junxian smiled, "That's it, they don't have the guts." ”
In Honglu Temple, Tang Jian, the secretary of Honglu Temple, has been busy these days, just to entertain this group of envoys from other countries, the treatment of Datang is definitely better than that of these small countries, and they dare not be picky. The problem is that now this group of people seems to be united, and they often give Honglu Temple a little trouble.
This kind of thing is not big or small, and it can't be done to make trouble to the emperor, but it happens every day, but it can't be handled without being able to deal with it without himself, right?
Tang Jian's feeling is not wrong at all, didn't the Tubo people be beaten twice in Honglu Temple? Now that there are envoys from so many countries, Lu Dongzan is like having a backer, he is bad behind his back, and he can't retaliate against Xiao Rui, so let's get some interest back in Honglu Temple first.
"Alas...... How good would it be if this was the champion Hou or the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple? Come casually, and they won't dare to be presumptuous. Tang Jian misses the champion Hou who was absent from work all day, but unfortunately Xiao Rui has been removed from the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.
Just when he was worried, a young official walked in, it was Liu Jinyuan, the director of the six products of Honglu Temple. That is, when the Buddha was destroyed, Liu Jinyuan was promoted by Xiao Rui, and later accompanied Tang Jian and Qin Huaidao to the Turks, made great contributions, and was soon promoted to Tang Jian's right-hand man.
"Qingzheng, things are not quite right in the past few days, and my subordinates have found some clues."
Tang Jian's eyes lit up, "Oh? Jin Yuan, let's talk about it carefully. ”
"If you say that a company is picky about the treatment given by Honglu Temple, it is understandable, after all, some people are coming to Chang'an for the first time, and it is normal to not understand the rules. But one after another, there are people making trouble all the time, and they are all relying on other people to watch the excitement, we don't dare to provoke public anger, and we have to make inches again and again, which is very wrong. Liu Jinyuan analyzed in detail.
Tang Jian nodded and praised: "Yes, this official has also noticed it." ”
"Alas! Now they are secretly united, it is still a trivial matter for us to make some efforts on the side of Honglu Temple, and the court is also coerced by them, His Majesty has compromised and agreed to be friendly, although only one princess is promised to be friendly, but one is actually no different from many, it is a great shame! ”
Liu Jinyuan asked: "Qingzheng, isn't it a clever diplomatic means to exchange Huairou means for peace?" As Honglu Siqing, you seem to be very opposed to harmony? ”
Tang Jian's eyes turned cold, "Are you supportive and pro-family?" ”
Facing the questioning of his boss, Liu Jinyuan suddenly smiled, waved his hand and said, "Qingzheng, the lower official just wants to confirm your attitude." Of course, the lower officials are also against it. ”
Tang Jian snorted coldly, "It's better to be like this!" ”
Not to mention that Tang Jian was born as a military general, and his style of action did not approve of the gentleness of that group of civil officials. Even if I were a civil official, then I would not agree to marry a daughter in exchange for peace. How is it different from exchanging a woman for peace? Although the money in the treasury has been saved, the backbone of the country has been sucked out, hehe...... I, a Tang boy, would rather die standing than live on my knees! ”
Liu Jinyuan's eyes were firm, and he nodded heavily, "Obey Qing's teachings." ”
"Alright, go get busy with you." Tang Jian waved his hand.
Liu Jinyuan didn't leave, and said in a low voice: "Qingzheng, the lower official has a small plan, maybe he can break the current deadlock." Although it may not be possible to stop them from making peace, there is a chance to solve the troubles of Honglu Temple. ”
Tang Jian said curiously: "Let's hear it." ”
Liu Jinyuan whispered to Tang Jian for a while, and after a while, Tang Jian smiled, nodded and praised: "Good boy, you really have you." This matter has been done, and this official recommends you to be the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. ”
Liu Jinyuan hurriedly excused himself, "Don't dare, the next official is for Honglu Temple, not for the sake of seeking an official." ”
Tang Jian waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with this. You kid is talented, it was the champion Hou who recommended you to come to Honglu Temple, Hou Ye planned to train you to take over early on, and when your ability is enough, he will step down as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to you. In the future, the old man's seat will be yours sooner or later. ”
"Now that the Hou Ye has retired, Honglu Temple is the time to employ people, and you have almost experienced it, you can mention it."
"Alright, let's go and do something, don't worry about anything else."
So that night, the No. 3 courtyard where the Tubo lived caught fire, and the small courtyard was clean, and the Tubo people were all disgraced and had to move out to find another place to live. But the arrangement of Honglu Temple was strange, and he ordered Baekje, who lived in No. 5 Temple, to move out and let the Tubo people live in. Baekje arranges accommodation.
There are more than a dozen courtyards in Honglu Temple, the higher the ranking, the better the facilities, Tubo ranks third, and Baekje is the last of the several countries that came this time. Now that Tubo has no place to live, it should be arranged in the No. 6 courtyard, but let Baekje vacate the place? Bullying small countries?
Of course, if you make room for it, you let Baekje live in the No. 6 courtyard, and you will endure it, but you are good, what do you say that the other yards are being renovated and maintained, and only the firewood courtyard at the end is left? It can make Baekje popular with smoke.
This discordant plan is too obvious, Tubo Ludong can't help but laugh, this is a doll trick.
But soon he miscalculated, Honglu Temple only notified them to live in No. 5 Temple, and also notified the Baekje people to move out, but he did not supervise the implementation! Baekje didn't agree to vacate the space, so the two sides were at a stalemate.
Lu Dongzan went to find someone from Honglu Temple to administer justice, but no one from Honglu Temple came out, and they all shirked and said that they had something to do. Discuss your own contradictions.
So, even if Lu Dongzan didn't want to have a conflict with Baekje, he now needed to go in and negotiate because of the housing problem.
