Chapter 459

In the palace, Li Er summoned Tang Jian, Minister of Honglu Temple.

"What's happened to the envoys from various countries recently? Three days later, there will be a grand court meeting. At that time, these people will go to the court to ask for an audience. You have to make good arrangements."

Tang Jian said with some concern: "After arriving in Chang'an, these envoys are generally doing two things, one is to test the reality of Zhongnan Academy, and the other is to cooperate with each other.

It is said that Goguryeo, who was the first to attack, was killed in public by two hundred guards at the main entrance of Zhongnan Academy. Later, Khitan, Mohe, Tuyuhun, Gaochang and other countries all went to the academy, but they were more or less injured.

Your Majesty, these countries have suffered a lot, and I think they will unite to deal with the academy. I am a little worried. "

Li Er was also frowning, but out of his trust in Bai Fan, he comforted Tang Jian and said, "It's okay, Zhongnan Academy is the holy place of Datang Academy, and I will decree to grant privileges.

Furthermore, the academy announcer comes first, and the rude visitors come later. A group of barbarians will be killed if they are killed.

On my desk there is a letter from the envoys of Goguryeo denouncing this matter, so what?Today is different from the past, they can only be poor.

Continue to pay attention to the envoys of various countries. The Tang Dynasty only provides accommodation. If the other party is rude and cannot disturb Chang'an, Chang'an has its own laws of the Tang Dynasty. You Honglu Temple is not their logistics force, do you understand? "

Tang Jian got up and performed a military etiquette, "The old minister has an order! The thieves conspired to oppress our Tang Dynasty, and we will not be lenient if those who come are not kind!"

On the side of Honglu Temple, Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan led people out of the Yingbin Post, and came to the long-established entertainment city in Chang'an City.

Looking at the unparalleled bustling streets in front of him, besides lamenting the prosperity of the Central Plains, Lu Dongzan also felt deep jealousy.

Shaking his head, he was not in the mood to taste food and wine, but was guided by the guards to the entertainment city theater.

After spending double the price, Lu Dongzan purchased a private box for a whole day of shows and meals. The staff of the Grand Theater are much more visible. This is a bumpkin of a foreign race. Just watch to your heart's content.

But no one knew that this shrewd little old man changed into a servant's attire in the box, slipped out of the theater quietly, came to the back door of a small house in Chang'an, and quietly entered.

"Master Lin, this is a precious jewel from the distant country of Tianzhu. I give it to you today, and I want to ask you to do a small thing." Lu Dongzan took out an extremely beautiful gemstone.

Standing opposite Lu Dongzan was a middle-aged official with a thin face. He frowned slightly at this moment, shook his head and said, "The Prime Minister is embarrassing me. All countries have come to Datang to compete for Zhongnan Academy this time. I know it well.

The Lantian Hou Baifan even made an example. Before, Xu Youliang of Honglu Temple recommended a Goguryeo man because of his greed for money, and his family was ransacked. Lin knew that he was weak, so he didn't dare to commit this taboo. "

Lu Dongzan shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Lin misunderstood, the truth is that I didn't come to Zhongnan Academy to find you, it's just some trivial matters, and it's not because of your wealth or your life.

I heard that Mr. Lin has been the servant of the Ministry of Industry for many years, and has always been the right-hand man of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. "

It turned out that this person was Lin Xueqing, the servant of the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty. When Tubo came to Datang, he was not in a hurry to study, so he went to the Ministry of Industry first?
"Learn the culture of Baigong? Why is this? The Ministry of Industry is only in charge of manufacturing. If you want to learn this, Zhongnan Academy is the most suitable." Lin Xueqing was puzzled.

Lu Dongzan's eyes were deep, and he said in a low voice: "It's bitterly cold in Tubo, I just want to learn some small methods of forging iron."

"Blacksmithing? Why don't you just hire a blacksmith?

No, don't tell me, you want to refine steel? "

Lin Xueqing was agitated, what is Baisteelmaking?Datang Military Steel is an absolutely secret system. After improvement by Lantian Hou, the output and quality have been greatly enhanced. At the same time, it was also listed as top secret by Lantian Hou and should not be leaked.

Lu Dongzan nodded, "That's right, Mr. Lin is really a character, this is it, I hope you can help."

"No, Baisteel is the top secret of the Tang Dynasty, and those who leak the secret will kill the three clans!" Lin Xueqing sternly refused.

"Three clans? Do you still have three clans? Master Li?

The Li family in Longxi has already been butchered. You, the Li family, have the orthodox surname Lin, have you forgotten your ancestors? "Lu Dongzan mocked.

"You... how do you know?"

Lin Xueqing was terrified. The court didn't know about this, but an outsider from another race blurted it out. In this way, there must be some expert advice behind him.

It turned out that Lin Xueqing was originally a descendant of the orthodox branch of the Li family in Longxi. He was lost at the age of three and was picked up by the head of the Lin family in Luoyang. A high-ranking official found clues, but kept silent, and was promoted quietly along the way to help him take root in the Ministry of Industry.

"How do I know, why don't you guess?
Just to remind you, you didn't help me for money, you helped me to avenge your family.

It's okay if you don't help me. Someone from the Li family in Longxi has become an official to an important member of the Ministry of Industry. At this time, the word spreads. How long do you think you still have to go? "Ludong Zan Zhizhu is in his hands, with this bargaining chip, he is not afraid that the other party will not submit.

It took a whole day to prepare, and finally won this important person. In the end, Lu Dongzan still pretended to be a servant, and easily returned to the box of the Grand Theater.

As an old fox for many years, people in Honglu Temple and the Tang court were staring at his group of envoys, and it was clear without thinking about Lu Dongzan.

During the ten days since he came to the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo Prime Minister just wandered around like this, often for a whole day. At the time of Zhongnan Academy, Tubo had already started to make profits secretly.

Three days later, at the Great Tang Dynasty Conference, envoys from various countries met in turn, expressing their desire to learn and imitate the culture of the Central Plains, and to send students to study. Among them, several countries headed by Goguryeo were particularly radical. the meaning of.

There is only one country that is more interesting, and that is the Western Turks. This is another overlord after the fall of Jieli on the grassland, but he does not have the domineering power that everyone imagined. Instead, he is a pro-Tang faction. Let's see what their envoys do You know what you said.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I, the Western Turkic Moheduo Khan, sent me the most cordial greetings to you and the princes of the Tang Dynasty.

Western Turks have always admired the culture of the Central Plains. The wool trade is our first exchange, and the cooperation between the two parties is pleasant. We deeply feel the greatness of the Tang Dynasty, so we want to send our third prince to learn the knowledge of the Central Plains.

But we Khan knew that grassland people were rude and did not know etiquette. We wanted to study at Zhongnan Academy, the number one academy in the world, but we were afraid that we would not be able to meet the standards. So when we came here, Khan confessed that if he could not enter the school, he would let the third prince worship Datang. The king of Chu is his adoptive father, so he stayed in Datang to study etiquette. Please give me your permission. "

The words of the Western Turkic envoy are shocking. This guy is too shameless. If he doesn't accept it, he will treat it as his son and post it instead?You are the overlords of the grassland, okay?It is not a vassal of a small country.

Li Er is overjoyed. It seems that under the great power of the Tang Dynasty, there is still a person who knows the current affairs. He stood up and laughed loudly: "Western Turks are full of sincerity. As the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor personally accepted your third prince as his adopted son. Treat each other as family."
