Great Tang Broom Star

When the Baekje envoys saw Chang'an City, they couldn't help praising: "Such a majestic city is indeed a central country."

The majestic Chang'an City is dazzling, but the attendant is a little worried, "It depends on the attitude of the Tang people. If they are still indifferent, then this trip will be in vain."

The envoy nodded, and said with a firm gaze: "Come here for nothing, you have to try. Last time the envoy from the Tang Dynasty said that Chang'an will welcome friends from Baekje with open arms. Let's try today."

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the accompanying Tang officials negotiated a few words, but the sergeant guarding the gate said, "Please wait in the shed outside the city."

What does it mean?

There is a pergola outside the city, where those who travel and those who see off will gather here, drink some wine, write a few poems, and then bid farewell.

But this is a mission!

Why wait outside?

The envoy was secretly angry, and the followers had already started to scold him.

"This kind of humiliation, why are we here? Let's go back."

The envoy shook his head, "It's all in Chang'an, at least I handed over the documents, and then I will go back."

As an envoy, naturally, you cannot be impulsive, and you must fully consider the situation of all parties.

The news has been reported to Honglu Temple.

"Shaoqing, Baekje envoys are here. According to the previous explanation, they have been asked to wait outside the city."

Zhu Tao, the young minister of Honghe Temple, got up, "You don't have to say, I know."

He then rushed to the palace to seek an audience.

"Your Majesty, the Baekje envoy is here."

Li Zhi was stunned, "Baekje envoy... the two ends of Silla's first mouse, Baekje..."

Zhu Tao said with piercing eyes: "Your Majesty, Datang must let Baekje know that Silla is not an ally of Datang."

What kind of ally? After Jia Ping'an returned from his mission last time, Zhu Tao asserted that the people of Silla were not authentic.

Such a win over Baekje can also form a check.

"Your Majesty, Datang cannot be treated as a fool by the Silla people!"

These words obviously stabbed Li Zhi's lungs, his expression was indifferent, "Come out of Honglu Temple to welcome you."

The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple came out to welcome? This is the treatment for welcoming friends.

Later? Zhu Tao took a group of officials and started a guard of honor? He left the imperial city in a mighty way.

Outside Chang'an City? The Baekje envoy had already drank three cups of tea, and was so greasy that he wanted to eat dry pancakes.

"What does Tang mean by this?"

He couldn't help asking the accompanying Datang officials.

"This...should be a report."

Where did these local officials know about Datang's foreign policy changes? They all thought it was deliberate negligence.

Deliberate negligence is also a diplomatic language, letting you know Datang's attitude? Either bow your head? Or just come and go.

The envoy thought of the country's ardent expectations for his trip, and couldn't help crying: "I came here with sincerity, but... the last time the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, that Uncle Wuyang said that Chang'an will open his arms? My friend from Baekje. I didn’t see my arms? I got hit on the ears.” Genius remembers in a second 噺バ一Chinese m.x/8/1/z/w.c/o/m/

The followers all had sullen faces and didn't even drink tea.

"somebody is coming."

There was a commotion in the city gate, and then guards of honor came out.

"Which traveler is this?"

The officials stood up in unison.

Zhu Tao then came out,

He said with a straight face, "Where is the Baekje envoy?"

The accompanying Tang officials hurried over, "Zhu Shaoqing? This is the Baekje envoy."

The Baekje envoy was in a daze at the moment.

He originally thought that the Tang Dynasty was going to let him and his party hang out, but he didn't expect that the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple would come? This...

Isn't it welcome?

But as a diplomat, he knew that even the envoy of Silla, an ally, came to Datang without such treatment.

What's more, Baekje?

And it turned out to be the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple? Unless this kind of person is an important person visiting, such as a certain khan? Or a certain king? Otherwise, you don't want him to go out of the city to greet him.

His heart is up and down? Be happy, but not sure.

Zhu Tao's eyes turned, looked at the envoy, and said kindly: "Your envoy has worked hard all the way."

In an instant, all the aggrieved and depressed dissipated, and the emissary couldn't help crying, "Datang... really welcomed Baekje with open arms."

...

"The Baekje envoy is here."

A small official came from Honglu Temple and brought Zhu Tao's words, "Zhu Shaoqing said that the envoy was very moved, and said repeatedly that Uncle Wuyang's words were true, and that Tang's enthusiasm made him feel at home. Let Baekje know Datang's kindness."

The matter is half done!

Jia Ping'an was overjoyed and hurried to find Zhu Tao.

"Zhu Shaoqing, does the Baekje envoy have any requests?"

When you go on a mission, you usually report on your own recent situation and disputes with neighboring countries. Then Datang needs to make a statement, such as supporting Silla, then it will warn Baekje to do it for itself.

This is what diplomacy is about.

There is another kind of request.

Zhu Tao said with a smile: "The Baekje envoys even spoke incoherently. They said that Silla frequently harassed the border, and that Jin Yuxin often led troops to rush past. If he was not careful, he would lead troops to invade."

Silla!

"Silla still wants to defeat Baekje." Jia Ping'an said firmly, "I met Jin Chunqiu last time. He is deep and ambitious, not mediocre."

"The old man knows, you don't need to say it." Zhu Tao pondered for a while, "Jin Chunqiu succeeds to the throne, since he is an ambitious person... His first priority is to subdue all kinds of forces in the country. Before that, he dare not go to war. , otherwise the foundation will not be solid, and once the battle is defeated, there will be opposition from the middle school of Silla."

Jia Pingan: "..."

This Zhu Shaoqing who always likes to interrupt others and say "you don't have to say, I know", has such sharp eyesight?

Silla and Baekje went to war again a few years later, and during this period, Kim Chunchu was consolidating his power.

You underestimated the heroes of the world!

There was Wang Xuance in the front, Zhu Tao in the back, and countless officials like this in the Tang Dynasty. These are the creators of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

Jia Ping'an was delighted. He knew that as long as such a Tang Dynasty avoided those big pits and reformed it, it would be able to continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

And the Zhu Tao in front of him is a rare diplomatic talent.

"Zhu Shaoqing..."

"You don't have to say, the old man knows."

Jia Pingan: "..."

"I said let's drink together."

Zhu Tao was taken aback, "It's easy to say."

...

At noon, Chu Suiliang had something to eat, and then went for a walk. As soon as he entered the duty room, a guest came.

"Dengshan is busy now, and the old man dare not come to disturb him, but he heard that the auxiliary machine had a dispute with the emperor, so the old man wanted to ask, do you want to help the emperor wholeheartedly now?"

The old man has a hooked nose and calm eyes.

Chu Suiliang said lightly: "The overall situation is the most important."

"What is the overall situation?" The old man sneered and said, "The overall situation in the past was the Eight Pillars Kingdom, but then the Eight Pillars Kingdom disintegrated. Some people died and their families were destroyed, and some were destitute. Now you are the new Eight Pillars Kingdom. Has Zhu Guo changed his appetite and started to be a vegetarian?"

Chu Suiliang was silent.

The old man stood up, "The old man is just here to tell you that the emperor is a tiger and a wolf, and you have heard that tigers and wolves don't eat people? Today's forbearance will definitely be exchanged for tomorrow's butcher's knife. You wait and do it yourself."

Chu Suiliang clenched his fists tightly, but he was not angry.

"Old man..."

There was more splendor in the old man's eyes, which disappeared in a flash.

But Chu Suiliang immediately took a deep breath, "This old man will naturally discuss this matter with the auxiliary machine."

The old man sneered and said, "It's good to do it yourself!"

...

In the morning, Yuchi Baolin brought her sons to greet the old man Yuchi Gong.

Yuchi Baolin was on business, so she left after saying a few words.

It's not a bad day, Aye!

Yuchi Xunyu was a little envious.

Yu Chigong stood up, and asked casually, "Does Da Lang want to be an official?"

Of course Yuchi Xunyu wanted to, but he knew that his grandfather was jealous, and he couldn't come forward to ask for an official for him, so he could only wait for the door... so he said: "A Weng, I don't want to."

For a young man to lie and play tricks in front of people like Yu Chigong, that's really tricky.

Later, all the children and grandchildren left.

Yu Chigong called the steward to question him.

"Lang Jun is very cautious when he is outside, and there are no mistakes or omissions to be found."

"How is Dalang?"

Why don't you care about the lord, but just ask the little lord?

The steward felt that Alang was too biased, "Xiao Langjun is not studying in class, or going out to drink and play with a few friends, and often beats horses."

There was more tenderness in Yu Chigong's eyes, "Bao Lin is in charge of the family, and she is in her fifties. Back then, the old man suppressed too much, so that he was more than cautious, but not enough to develop. Now there is no one on His Majesty's side. Suspicious, but after all, the old man was warned by the late emperor not to go out to work again, and Pauline is like this, Yuchi's family can only look after Dalang."

The steward smiled and said, "Young Lord, you know quite a few people now."

"Prince Teng?" Yu Chigong snorted coldly, "This is a libertine who defiles himself in order to survive, what can such a person do?"

"Ah Lang, King Teng is different now, he is in charge of His Majesty's money!"

Huh!

Yu Chigong was taken aback, "Is he like this?"

That being the case, the matter of Dalang cannot wait any longer.

Yu Chigong squinted his eyes, then opened them suddenly, and there was a flash of light, "The old man is entering the palace now."

Later, Yuchi Gong entered the Ganlu Hall.

"Your Majesty, this old minister is too old to serve His Majesty. My son Baolin is mediocre. I only wish him a safe life, but my grandson Yuchi Xunyu... Your Majesty, Xunyu is pure and loyal to His Majesty..." (www) m/.x81zw./com/

This is for an officer.

In the case of poor imperial examinations, the paths of becoming an official in the Tang Dynasty are relatively scattered, and the door shade is the most important path.

Yuchi Xunyu... Li Zhi heard that this person is quite simple and straightforward. A simple and straightforward person can be used, but not too much.

Yuchi Gong is an old minister, he personally came forward to ask... Last time when Yu Chi Gong jumped outside the imperial city of Ma, he stopped drinking, which shocked Changsun Wuji and his group.

If meritorious service is not rewarded, who will help you next time?

Li Zhi said with a smile: "The army is a good place..."

But Yu Chigong smiled bitterly and said: "At the beginning, the old minister thought that his grandson would not join the army, but Xun Yu's martial arts are not very good."

After being secretly warned by the first emperor, Yu Chigong was shocked, so he went home to avoid disaster. Immediately, even the grandson stopped training martial arts and art of war, to imply that Yuchi's family was harmless.

But... how should such Yuchi Xunyu be arranged?

"His Majesty!"

Yuchi Gong knelt down.

No one expected him to kneel.

This is not an era when you kneel when you see an emperor, Yuchi Gong suddenly knelt down...

Wang Zhongliang's eyes were hot, and he couldn't help thinking of his parents and relatives.

Yu Chigong knelt down for his grandson, his parents...

Li Zhi was moved, and he came over to help Yuchi Gong himself, "Why is Duke E like this?"

Yuchi Gong said frankly: "At the age of the old minister, all fame and fortune are just floating clouds, and the only thing you can't forget is the future of your children and grandchildren."

Poor parents all over the world!

Li Zhi suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "It happens that I have some things here that I need someone to take care of. Now that King Teng is taking care of it, I still need a trustworthy person..."

This is the position of taking care of the emperor's private affairs, no matter how high or low, no matter whether he has a rank or not, as long as he does it, he will have a bright future in the future.

Yu Chigong said without hesitation: "The Yuchi family is loyal to His Majesty, if Xun Yu has two hearts, the old minister... the old minister will resign."

What is this man doing in such a hurry?

Li Zhi has black lines all over his head.

Later, Yu Chigong asked to see him again.

"Your Majesty, Duke E came here with Yuchi Xunyu. Yuchi Xunyu looked as if he had just been beaten, and shouted outside the palace to be loyal to His Majesty."

Li Zhi's cheeks trembled, "Let them come."

Later, Yu Chigong carried his grandson Yuchi Xunyu in like a chicken, "Speak!"

Yuchi Xunyu knelt down with a bruised nose and swollen face, "Your Majesty, I will be loyal to Your Majesty all my life. If you break this oath, heaven and man will perish together, and there will be no place to die."

Yu Chigong found his grandson, beat him severely, and made him swear allegiance to me... This method seemed vulgar, but Li Zhi smiled and said, "Why is this so? From now on, you and King Teng will deal with those matters together."

It is not appropriate for King Teng to be in charge of the smuggling business alone. Once he has thoughts that he should not have, those smuggling routes and the power of the smuggling merchants will become the birthplace of ambition.

And adding the straightforward Yuchi Xunyu into it can form effective checks and balances.

Li Zhi nodded.

After leaving the palace, Yuchi respectfully left.

"gentlemen."

Yuchi Xunyu went to Baiqi to find Jia Ping'an.

"Fuck!"

Jia Pingan was frightened by Yuchi Xunyu who had a bruised nose and swollen face, "Who did it?"

"A Weng." Yu Chi Xunyu said with a wry smile, "A Weng beat me severely, and then took me into the palace to show my loyalty. His Majesty asked me to manage affairs with King Teng."

This is a check and balance, and by the way, it also solved Yu Chi Xunyu's matter, and won Yu Chi Gong's gratitude, and it really is the emperor.

Jia Pingan patted him on the shoulder, "Duke E has done his best for you."

It's nice to have such a grandfather, but Jia Ping'an is more pleased that he is the official generation and the rich generation.

"The weather is getting hotter, and there are more and more people fighting with knives. Yongzhou said that the Jinwu guards often turn a blind eye to it, and someone stabs them every now and then. The higher-ups asked Baiqi to investigate frequently."

Ming Jing brought the latest instructions from the palace, with a gloating look on her face, "Going out in this weather...it won't take long for the sun to peel."

Thinking of Jia Ping'an turning into a dark guy, Ming Jing felt at ease.

Jia Pingan really didn't want to go out, but this was an instruction from the emperor.

He walked out of the duty room and shouted: "Bao Dong led a team of brothers to follow me and Ming Zhongguan on a tour."

Ming Jing exploded, "Why me?"

"Share the difficulties." Cheng Da clutched his stomach after speaking, "Stomach hurts."

Ming Jing came out angrily, and Jia Ping'an praised: "Mingzhong officials want to share weal and woe with me, brothers, praise one."

"color!"

Ming Jing gritted her teeth and followed, "If I get tanned, I will be laughed at when I enter the palace, and His Majesty will be surprised when he sees me."

"This is evidence of your diligence, and His Majesty will only praise you."

"But how can I meet people when I'm tanned?" Ming Jing wanted to kill someone.

Jia Ping'an wondered: "You are a female crown, why do you care about your appearance?"

yes! I am a female crown, isn't my appearance just a stinky skin?

Ming Jing comforted herself.

Jia Ping'an said to himself: "The makeup powder of the Yang family in Dongshi seems to be able to cover it up, and it's completely white..."

There is such a good powder?

As a female crown, Ming Jing had never used these cosmetics before, but when she heard it now, her heart was moved.

Everyone has a love of beauty. When a person no longer cares about his appearance and all external affairs, this person is either desperate, or sees through the vanity of the world.

"It seems that you have to spend a lot of money to buy it, and you have to queue up to make an appointment..."

Ming Jing said sharply: "Jia Pingan, you are shameless!"

Jia Pingan laughed, and the group left the imperial city.

There were a lot of people in Chang'an City in summer, and everyone wore cloaks, Ming Jing felt a little better.

All the way into the East Market, at this moment, the East Market is full of people, and the shouts of the merchants are heart-wrenching. From time to time, you can see scenes of bargaining, disputes between the two sides, and even full of old fists.

"stop!"

Bao Dong led his men to stop a fight, and came back and said, "Why do you have a sense of accomplishment for the lower officials?"

"Doing things for the people is a matter of peace of mind."

Jia Pingan explained his psychological activities in one sentence.

"Hey! Uncle Wuyang, there is a fight ahead."

Outside a shop, two gangs were fighting.

"stop!"

Ming Jing stepped forward to stop drinking.

"Kill him!"

Neither side looked at her at all.

no face...

Ming Jing was furious, and rushed in to fight.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

She knocked down a few people in front, but when the two sides came to surround and beat her, Ming Jing seemed to be having a hard time, and finally got punched in the face, and staggered back.

She covered her eyes and said angrily, "Why didn't you make a move?"

"You need credit recently." Jia Pingan pointed to her eyes, "This and the tanned face are all credit to you."

How did this guy know? Ming Jing: "..."

If it wasn't for credit, how could Ming Jing make a move?

Are the stinky men also worthy of being old wives?

This is Ming Jing's attitude.

After a pause on both sides, Jia Pingan took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Whoever punched her, stand up."

These people didn't flinch, a man came out from one side, the man on the left was tall and powerful, and said coldly: "This is Dongshi, the government doesn't care about the matter of me waiting for the ranger, this man beat our brother, he deserves to be beaten."

Chang'an's Rangers are a relatively well-known group. Don't think that people who wear the word "Xia" are good people. In fact, this group of people is more fierce than evil, and they regard the government and the law as nothing. It is proud to despise the government and the law, and ashamed to obey the government's arrangements.

A bunch of scum who don't know honor or disgrace!

Jia Ping'an narrowed his eyes, "Ten breaths."

The ranger on the right scolded: "Use a knife if you have the ability, yeah, I will chop you up with a knife!"

"interesting!"

Jia Pingan nodded, "You wait for the ranger to be lawless, today Jia will do justice for the sky and give him a knife!"

The ranger said excitedly: "Bah! Yeah, I have it myself!"

A younger brother handed over the horizontal knife.

Madan!

This is illegal possession of controlled knives!

Jia Pingan pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, narrowing his eyes slightly...

...
