When Nima Sanji's figure appeared in front of the quaint gate, a man dressed in the uniform of a soldier of the Saburu Province hurried forward. With a smile on his face and groveling, he showed a deep respect for Nima Sanji in an attitude that was both respectful and respectful.

Nima Sanji's movements are graceful and fluid, like a stream flowing on a plateau, both soft and full of power. He flicked his whip, and the horse followed his rhythm obediently, one step at a time. Then, he leaped lightly off his horse, and his vigorous figure was like an eagle, volleying into the air.

Seeing this, Tai Hao hurriedly stepped forward with his entourage, and Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "Tai Hao, the envoy of the Lower Eastern Empire, has come to visit Prime Minister Sanji. ”

Nima Sanji shot at him with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Lord Taihao has arrived in Luo, and today, you set foot in my land again, are you here to offer gifts?" If this is the case, please also take a return journey, I, Nima Sanji, have never been gifted by any official. ”

Tai Hao smiled: "I came here today to visit Sanji, not to give gifts. ”

Seeing that they didn't bring gifts, Nima Sanji responded, "Lord Taihao will come with me to enter the mansion, but you retinue will wait outside first!" ”

At that moment, Tai Hao instructed his entourage to wait outside the door, and then followed closely behind Nima Sanji and entered his mansion. The mansion is unobtrusive and modest in size, but it has an elegance of its own. Walk through the patchwork gardens and walk into the quaint living room.

In the living room, the agarwood furniture is covered with exquisite Tibetan cushions, and a rich fragrance of tea comes to the nose. Nima Sanji waved his hand to signal his subordinates to prepare two bowls of butter tea, he took one bowl, and the other bowl was brought to Taihao. The aroma of butter tea is rich and exudes a seductive charm, which seems to tell the enthusiasm of the Tibetan people and the flavor of life.

Nima Sanji smiled and said, "Lord Taihao, I know very well what your purpose is in Tubo. Before your arrival, our entire Tibetan dynasty was confused about the future of relations between the two countries, and your presence completely dispelled the worries of many officials. The emperor of the Eastern Empire still longed for the peaceful coexistence of the two countries. I have read some of the history books of your country, which record many stories of battles, and I used to think that the emperors of the Eastern Empire were brave and good at war, but I did not expect that you also longed for peace. ”

Tai Hao said: "What is contained in the history books is nothing more than superficial talk. In fact, our two sides have been in friendly exchanges for many years. More than 20 years ago, the diplomatic relations between our two countries were as harmonious as fish and water, with mutual respect and mutual benefit. The princess of our Eastern Empire married Tibet and married Zampu, which is an event that can be written about in the history of the cat clan. Peace between the two countries was not easy to come by, so how can this peace be easily broken? ”

Nima Sanji sighed: "Today I went to the palace and met Princess Diaotang. We are talking about many matters in the Tibetan court, and there are still many problems in the current situation in Tibet, and Zampu is still in his infancy, and he urgently needs to elect a talented regent. ”

Tai Hao said slowly: "This matter is an internal affair of the Tubo Dynasty, and your country is full of talents, and I believe that a suitable regent will be elected soon." ”

Nima Sanji asked curiously, "Which official does Lord Taihao think can take on this position?" ”

Tai Hao smiled and said, "No matter who holds the position of regent, my Eastern Empire will fully support it. ”

Nima Sanji sighed softly: "Let's not talk about this for the time being. For the officials of the Eastern Empire, we Tibetan officials have always had high respect, but there is one thing that makes me feel helpless. ”

Taihao frowned slightly: "May I ask what is the matter?" ”

Nima Sanji said in a low voice, "Lord Taihao may have heard about the envoys of the Eastern Empire who are stationed in the city of Luo. ”

Tai Hao said: "Prime Minister Sanji, I already know about this matter, and I am investigating Huaru. ”

Nima Sanji said: "As the whole minister of Tibet, I can't do anything about him, after all, he is not our official in Tibet." ”

Tai Hao said: "I am very curious about Slippery Confucian, how he managed to make the officials of Tubo fear him and keep scolding him. ”

Nima Sanji smiled slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes: "Lord Taihao, the reason why Huaru was able to win the awe and knot of the Tibetan officials was not by virtue of his official position or power, but because of his force, as far as I know, all the officials who came to the city of Luo and did not give him a gift will soon die." ”

Tai Hao's brows tightened, and he said in a low voice: "So that's the case, then, is there any evidence to prove that the death of those officials was the hand of Confucianism?" ”

Nima Sanji shook his head and said, "There is no conclusive evidence, just a guess of mine. I once secretly investigated the slippery and found that he possessed peerless martial arts, and was incredibly powerful. In our Tibet, although there is no shortage of strong martial artists, in front of him, we are like children and adults, and we are not his opponents at all. Therefore, some officials could only treat him with courtesy and try their best to win him over. ”

Tai Hao was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Sanji, Hua Ru is an official of my Eastern Empire, and when I find out his details, I will report it to the court of my Eastern Empire and severely punish him according to law." ”

Nima Sanji bowed his head and said, "Lord Taihao is really fortunate to have this realization. Once this malignant tumor is eliminated, the atmosphere of Tibetan officialdom will also take on a new look. ”

Tai Hao changed his words and asked, "Prime Minister Sanji, I suddenly want to discuss a question, which capable person do you think can be appointed as the regent of the Tubo Dynasty?" ”

Nima Sanji was silent for a moment, a hint of composure and firmness flashing in his deep eyes. He said in a deep voice: "I am Chinese New Year's Eve a year old today, although I have not stepped into the political arena for a long time, and I was only eighteen years old when I first learned the mysteries of politics, but I am confident that I will make great contributions to the Tubo Dynasty with my meager strength." I think I know this country, I love this country, and I am willing to give all my strength to this country. ”

He slowly raised his eyes, and his clear eyes reflected a light of determination, "I am fully qualified for the position of Regent. With iron determination and perseverance, I will shoulder this great responsibility. ”

Taihao didn't expect that Nima Sanji would be the first to say his name. In this regard, he was slightly shocked and a little puzzled. In front of Nima Sanji, the two handsome Zhuoer Beizan and Zuren Xide were not mentioned, as if they did not exist. This situation and this scene all show Nima Sanji's sincerity, and his desire for the position of regent is undoubtedly the truest portrayal of his heart.

Tai Hao couldn't help but secretly marvel at himself, and said in his heart: "It seems that he really wants to be this regent." ”

Tai Hao looked at Nima Sanji's confident face, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sanji is really young and promising, it is really commendable that there can be an official like you in the Tubo Kingdom!" ”

Nima Sanji smiled: "Thank you Lord Taihao for the compliment." He changed his words and continued, "However, I am not the best choice, in the Tibetan officialdom, there are many people who are stronger than me, such as Zhuoer Beizan Daxiang, Zuren Xide and so on. They are above me in terms of seniority and political literacy. ”

Tai Hao asked, "It's too modest for Prime Minister Sanji to say this. ”

Nima Sanji once again raised his wild and uninhibited laughter, loud and hearty, like a summer wind, like a galloping horse on the prairie, galloping out of his lips. He glared at Lord Taihao, his pupils flashing with a sly light, as if he had captured something extremely interesting.

He put on a worldly posture, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Lord Taihao, do you know? It was just a false statement, but I was not interested in the position of Regent. The rumors that I am going to fight for power are nothing more than nonsense that circulates in the city, like dust floating over the city, and they are insignificant. ”

He waved his hand, as if to dispel the idle rumors. His gaze was far away, his eyes filled with lofty ambition, and his voice was as hot and firm as molten iron, "But I still have to stand here and tell all my subjects that I want to be the regent of this country." You know why? ”

Tai Hao was suddenly curious, and asked in surprise, "Why did Prime Minister Sanji do this?" ”

Nima Sanji replied slowly: "As the chief minister of Tibet, I have offended many officials since I took office. In the officialdom of Tibet, although the surface is calm, in fact there is an undercurrent. Many officials have formed cliques for personal gain and colluded with each other. There are many corrupt among them, so when choosing a regent, it is important to ensure that the elected officials are honest and selfless. The reason why I let out the rumors that I want to be a regent is to see how many officials will support me. It is the officials in question who support me, because my job is to monitor them. ”

Tai Hao said: "Sanji's sincere heart can indeed screen out some greedy and perverted people, but it is inevitable that there will be some cunning fish who slip through the net. ”

"In a dynasty, filthy bureaucrats are like weeds that cannot be completely removed, and no matter how strict the law, there will always be some bold officials who choose to take the sinister path. My goal is not to arrest them all for trial, but to send them a warning message that they will be more fearful and fearful in the midst of the chaos of the court. ”

Tai Hao nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Nima Sanji: "Prime Minister Sanji, who do you think is more qualified for the position of regent?" ”

Nima Sanji pondered for a moment and replied, "If you want to say that the two of them are both meritorious ministers of the Tibetan Kingdom, you can't compare who is more competent, because no matter who is the regent, the two of them will do a good job. If I had to choose one or the other, I think Master Zurenshid would be more suitable. ”

Taihao asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Nima Sanji said in a low voice: "Lord Zuren Xide is already in his prime, and he can be called the oldest official in the Tubo Dynasty, and he has also served as the prime minister, and he has a deep understanding of the surrounding countries. Although he does not have a clear official position now, his status is equivalent to that of the national teacher of the Tubo Dynasty. His predecessor, Tsangpu Yangu, revered him as a teacher. If he rules the kingdom as a regent, it will certainly bring peace to the country. ”

Tai Hao lowered his head and said: "I didn't expect Lord Zuren Xide to be so legendary in the officialdom, I will definitely visit me if I have the opportunity." ”
