Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 357 Accidents
"Snapped!"

Angrily, Luo Youdu threw the memorial in his hand heavily on the table, pointed at an old man in his 70s, and said angrily: "There are still two more months before my enthronement ceremony. You are only telling me now, Sifang The hall may be too small to accommodate so many envoys... You have hundreds of people in the Ministry of Rites, what are you doing to eat? If you don’t want to do it, you can get out, I don’t feed moths who eat vegetarian meals.”

This was the first time he got angry after becoming emperor.

Even if he received Jiao Jixun, Zhang Duo, Feng Jiye and other six-level crimes and misdeeds, he would laugh at them, and then extinguish the thunder, shocking the world.

The reason is that Wang Renyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said in an impromptu memorial that there were too many envoys from the four directions participating in the enthronement ceremony, and the original Sifang Pavilion of the imperial court may not be enough, so a solution must be found as soon as possible.

This is a big matter, and after receiving the report from the four ministers of the meeting hall, they hurriedly called Wang Renyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the five of them went to Yanhe Hall in person to report the matter to Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu was originally in a good mood because he solved the matter of the Jiedu envoy's wealth and power. When the Ministry of Rites had such a problem, he was instantly angry. The surrounding envoys came to congratulate him on his enthronement ceremony, but he couldn't even arrange a residence here.

This is a blatant slap in the face.Rumor has it that he, the emperor, will lose his old face.

Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Song Qi, and Dou Yi were all anxious and did not dare to speak.

Originally, they had recently been in awe of Luo Youdu, who was as friendly as a bodhisattva and as powerful as the king of hell, and they were all frightened when they saw him get angry for the first time.

Wang Renyu was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and hurriedly shouted: "Death crime!"

Luo Youdu said angrily: "If it's really useful to cut you off, I can't wait to chop off your head right now!"

Wang Renyu was trembling, his intestines were green with regret.He is 77 this year, long past his retirement age, and he insists on working all the time just to give the new emperor a good impression so that he can get a good posthumous title in the future.In the end, stealing the chicken was not enough to lose the rice, and such a big thing happened.

"I have lived most of my life, and I have never seen so many envoys come to court. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Luo Youdu suppressed his anger and said: "I think you are old and acted foolishly. I won't hold you responsible for your crimes. Go home and take a good rest."

Wang Renyu's face was pale, and he understood the implication, this is to ask him to resign and return to his hometown.

This is heavier than any punishment.

Slightly trembling, looking around, Wang Renyu saw no one to speak for him, sobbing, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

He reluctantly left Yanhe Hall.

Luo Youdu said: "It should be too late to rebuild the Sifang Pavilion. You all have good ideas to deal with this emergency, so as not to embarrass the new dynasty."

The enthronement ceremony received unexpectedly strong feedback.

Not only Wang Renyu was unexpected, but Luo Youdu and many prime ministers in the council hall were also unexpected.

Since the separatism of feudal towns at the end of Tang Dynasty, the roads of paying tribute have been blocked by feudal towns, and the situation of all nations coming to congratulate in Tang Dynasty has long since ceased to exist.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were not without powerful countries, and the Later Tang Dynasty was one of them.

But the biggest problem for the kings of the later Tang Dynasty is that they can fight without culture. Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunxu is a military genius. He is brave and good at fighting. He is good at strategy. By.

Three-quarters of the territory of the world is in his hands.

But he happened to be an illiterate, political idiot who wasted a great opportunity.

They only know how to fight and ignore diplomacy.

On the contrary, the Khitan took advantage of the scuffle in the Central Plains, always regarded itself as orthodox, and even sent troops to the Western Regions specially, in order to make the Western Regions surrender and respect the Khitan as Zhengshuo.

Even the Guiyi Army in the lonely and imperiled region once sent an envoy to Khitan as a tribute to the Dunhuang Kingdom, proclaiming Khitan as Zhengshuo.

Therefore, the Sifang Pavilion in Dazhou mainly received envoys from Southern Tang, Wuyue, Western Shu and Wuping.

Occasionally, envoys from Goryeo would come to the Central Plains every three to five years.

The Sifang Pavilion has always been vacant and has not received enough attention.

However, news spread that Luo Youdu regained Yandi, defeated the Khitan emperor in Yandi, and captured the Northern Han Dynasty, so that the Khitan army did not dare to go south.

The momentum of the Central Plains has overwhelmed Khitan.

Many countries around the Khitan's despotic power have come forward to pay tribute, willing to resume exchanges and establish relations with the Central Plains.

Therefore, there were unexpectedly many envoys from the four directions who came to the DPRK this time, which triggered a crisis that the Sifang Pavilion could not accommodate them.

Luo Youdu said: "A new dynasty has been established, and the world has not yet been unified. This time the Quartet came to congratulate, knowledge and knowledge are better than surrender. If even the most basic accommodation cannot be properly arranged, wouldn't the Quartet make jokes? How can you trust me? Does the dynasty have the strength to protect the commercial roads, willingly pay tribute, and restore trade? Our finances are tight, and if we can take this opportunity to reopen the Silk Road, it will be of great benefit to the economy of the new dynasty."

"We must give a proper plan today, you can afford to lose this face, I can't afford to lose it!"

He sat down angrily, took the teacup on the desk, drank it all in one gulp, and let it go.

Wei Renpu said: "You can go to the Ministry of Industry and find out whether there are rebuilt houses inside and outside Bianjing. The requisition is used by the imperial court. Improvements can be made on the original basis, which can shorten the construction period and catch up with the progress."

"Great kindness!" Luo Youdu said: "Let's do this right away." Then he said: "Wang Shangshu is not suitable to continue to take on the heavy responsibility, and Dou Xianggong will be in charge of the enthronement ceremony... As for the reception of foreign guests, let Xue Juzheng come."

Time was running out, Luo Youdu didn't bother to discuss the candidate, so he ordered directly.

Xue Juzheng was a Jinshi in the second year of Qingtai in the later Tang Dynasty. He was talented and majestic. He was a rare handsome guy in the imperial court.

Capability descriptions are qualified to serve as reception ambassadors.

In order to ensure safety, Luo Youdu personally called Xue Juzheng to Highness Wende to give instructions after Sixiang retired.

"To receive foreign guests from various countries this time, as long as Aiqing is true and not exaggerated, it is enough to show the magnanimity of the heaven with confidence. There is no need to swell your face to act as a fat man. Believe that even after suffering, China will always have the tolerance of all rivers. , the determination to unify the world.”

When Xue Juzheng was appointed for the first time, he was both nervous and excited. Officials in the Central Plains had not encountered such a situation of a large number of envoys entering Beijing for a long time.

With no experience up and down, I don't know where to start.

But hearing Luo Youdu's words, Xue Juzheng gained confidence in an instant.

After understanding Luo Youdu's meaning, any false things will only reveal one's guilt and lack of self-confidence.

Just express the most truthful situation.

Let the Quartet see a thriving Central Plains, a flourishing Central Plains.

Perhaps it is far from the Han and Tang Dynasties in history.

But one day, he will be able to catch up with the footsteps of his predecessors, and even surpass them.

Xue Juzheng said respectfully: "I understand, I will live up to Your Majesty's expectations."
