Man Tanghong

Chapter 626 The Courage of the First Diplomat of the Tang Dynasty
The food and wine prepared by Shangshan is very rich, ranging from steamed vegetables to stewed vegetables to boiled vegetables. There are a total of 81 dishes, which coincides with the number of dishas.

The muddy sanle syrup was poured into bowls. Wei Zheng drank three bowls in one go, and then began to chant poems and fuss. The cups beat the beat for Wei Zheng.

This was the first time when Li Yuanji saw someone singing poems, someone was beating the time.

In the sometimes high-pitched, sometimes tactful poetry recitation, the crisp low-pitched sound from the cup is still clearly visible and very pleasant, faintly matching the poetry recitation, with a unique charm.

Ma Zhou and Cai Yungong listened mesmerized, shaking their heads, and when they heard the excitement, they would open their eyes and raise their cups high to invite Wei Zheng to drink.

Wei Zheng would also raise his wine bowl, touch Ma Zhou and Cai Yungong from a distance, then raise his head to drink up the wine in the wine bowl, and continue reciting poems and odes.

This is probably the favorite way for literati to get together.

Only people with a certain amount of knowledge in their stomachs can get along with them.

Li Yuanji didn't have much knowledge in his belly, to be precise, he didn't have much Confucian knowledge, and he didn't leave a full belly of economics in his predecessor. Although he had a wife who was proficient in poetry and poetry, when they were together, they spent most of their time studying How to give birth to a child, I don't even talk about poetry and songs.

So facing such a party, Li Yuanji felt very bored and uncomfortable.

Tang Jian obviously understood this truth.

This went on for several hours. After Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Cai Yungong, and Ma Zhou took turns to fight, Li Yuanji was finally relieved after all four of them fell down after drinking.

It must be reused, and it must be tried every means to become a confidant.

Tang Jian froze for a moment, staring at Li Yuanji puzzled.

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "If you have meritorious service, you have credit. You don't have to be humble. You deserve the reward. After all, you have been traveling outside the territory for my Tang Dynasty for many years, and you have been infected with evil spirits. If it weren't for the gentlemen in Chang'an Xingluli, you I'm afraid it will cost a lot of life.

But in order not to spoil the elegance of Wei Zheng and the others, Li Yuanji still pretended to be fascinated and shook his head, and when he saw Ma Zhou and Cai Yungong toast, he would also toast with him.

Li Yuanji is now using every occasion to play, to prevent Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, and Cai Yungong from doing things for themselves, or deliberately doing foreign work.

I asked you to go to the Tudiji Department because I wanted you to encourage Tudiji to lead an army to attack Shuofang City, the capital of Liang Shidu. "

Playing on the spot is a very necessary means of socializing. Whether you are facing colleagues, bosses, or family members, playing on the spot can save you a lot of unnecessary troubles and unnecessary twists and turns.

In the words of the new Chang'an Ling, it is not a crime to spoil your wife, but there must be a limit. If you spoil your wife too much, it will be a disaster.Fortunately, the wife was not spoiled to the point of disrespecting the elderly, otherwise, even if the wife did not die, she would have to be taken to the yamen for questioning and beheading.

This kind of thing can be seen clearly, but it cannot be explained clearly.

When others are useful to you and want to contribute to you, if you are not even willing to give them a smile, then why should they contribute to you, and why should they contribute to you?

Although in his capacity, there is no need to cater to so and so.

After Li Yuanji laughed, he said to Tang Jian: "How about you go to the Tudi Jibu?"

Li Yuanji said with admiration.

Tang Jian pondered subconsciously: "Your Highness, should I ask my ministers to gather these tribes together and wipe them out in one fell swoop, or should I ask my ministers to stir up their civil strife so that they have no time to pose a threat to our Tang Dynasty?"

But these words can only fool young people, adults will not believe it.

Not punishing him for not taking good care of his wife, but punishing him for not disciplining her.

How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? !

This kind of expression will only appear after dealing with the banquet that he is not used to. "

People have offered to propose that the task is not difficult enough, if you don't add burdens to others, wouldn't that be a humiliation to the talent?
"Tang Jian, this time I let you go to the Tudiji tribe, not only for the Tudiji tribe, but also for other tribes outside the Tudiji tribe."

He is not blindly arrogant, he is truly skilled and bold.

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment.

After walking dozens of steps, Tang Jian said in a cautious expression: "Why do you think so?"

Li Yuanji remembered that he had just seen a similar case a few days ago, that is, a man in Chang'an City married a wife who was not very peaceful. The wife liked to eat and drink, so he borrowed a lot of money. Not only do men not dissuade or educate foreign debts, but they also devote themselves to making money to help their wives pay off their debts.

Whether or not the Great Tang can run rampant outside the territory and show off its power outside the territory after the Tang Dynasty depends entirely on Tang Jian.

"Why, don't you want to go?"

People, that's what they look like.

The supervisory censor found this case interesting, so he reported it, and secretly mentioned a few Tang officials who were known to be fearful of internal affairs, suggesting that Li Yuanji could use this to wake him up.

Li Yuanji laughed, smart people are smart people, Wen Xian knows the meaning, you don't have to speak too clearly, he knows what you are talking about, and will help you say what you want to say in advance.

Because of the beatings and re-education of the society, adults have long seen the essence of society.

In the end, he pampered his wife so much that when he was driving outside the city to visit the child, the wife insisted on eating a bowl of gourd soup, which was newly developed in Chang'an City, but the man refused, saying that he wanted to see the child first, but the wife suddenly He jumped out of the car, hit his head, and died.

Li Yuanji glanced at Tang Jian, and did not rush to speak, but took Tang Jian to Zhaode Hall.

It's just a small matter, and it's just a small case.

Tang Jian smiled wryly and said nothing.

Does that mean you don't like it?

So the reward given to you is also your compensation. "

But Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Cai Yungong, and Ma Zhou have either made great contributions to him, or are about to help him.

Otherwise it will lead to catastrophe.

Tang Jian hurriedly said: "The servants of the Great Tang Zhilu should share the worries of the Great Tang. They dare not bow, let alone hope for any reward."

Even if he is not used to this kind of gathering, he has to cater to one or two.

He can handle a large Turkic tribe with a population of [-] to [-] tents with ease, but the Turkic Tribe with a population of [-] to [-] tents is not enough for him to worry about.

But things like resentment are accumulated little by little.

Isn't it a bit overkill for him to travel between various states outside the region, to a small tribe with only one or two thousand people?
It wasn't that he looked down on the Tudi Jibu, it was because all the people in the Tudi Jibu combined couldn't compete with him enough.

That is nothing to look at.

Naturally, Li Yuanji would not agree to the frivolous request of the supervisory censor, nor would he meddle in other people's family affairs, but the deep meaning behind this incident is still worth learning a little bit.

Well, I have learned to rush to answer, and the answer to rush to answer is a bit out of the outline.

Facing this kind of person, the only thing Li Yuanji can think of is to add burden.

So, at a certain time, you still have to learn to act on the spot.

It’s okay to accumulate a little today, and it’s okay to accumulate a little tomorrow, but when you accumulate a lot and it explodes in one breath, it will be a disaster, and it will be a big disaster.

Although with the character of Wei Zheng and the others, it is not possible to do so.

Tang Jian hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's not easy to get this reward from Your Highness?"

"Your Highness doesn't seem to be used to this kind of banquet?"

To be clear, it is easy to offend people.

After Tang Jian was summoned, he arrived at the palace very quickly and stood guard outside Jixian Yuan for several hours. After seeing Li Yuanji appearing outside Jixian Yuan with a smell of alcohol and a tired face, he subconsciously opened his mouth. .

Hearing the words, Tang Jian apologized without hesitation: "This minister is lying, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Tang Jian hesitated for a moment, and said dumbfoundedly: "It's just a Tudi Jibu, do you need me to go there myself?"

Tang Jian cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "If Your Highness is used to this kind of banquet, his face should be flushed after the banquet, not tired.

Li Yuanji stared at Tang Jian and asked.

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Should I say you are blindly arrogant, or should I say that you are a highly skilled person and bold, and you actually look down on the Tudi Jibu?"

This is the first courtier he met after he arrived in Tang Dynasty who used his hand and could no longer take advantage of it.

"Tang Jian, I'm very surprised, very surprised that you can think of this, and very surprised that you can realize that these tribes are threats to my Tang Dynasty. But eradicating them is not what we need to do now, but what we need to do in the future do.

Li Yuanji was also very satisfied with Tang Jian's reaction, "You have been working outside the territory for my Tang Dynasty for many years. It can be said that you have made great achievements. I called you into the palace this time just to ask what reward you want."

Although many people in later generations preached that they were all raised by their father's biological parents, why should I wrong myself to please you.Some people even regard such words as golden rules.

After the county magistrate of Chang'an learned of this, he ordered the man to be hung on a tree at the gate of the county government office, and he was whipped ten times severely.

Li Yuanji spoke with emotion.

From this, Li Yuanji learned that indulgence should not be too much, and resentment should not be too deep.

Li Yuanji put his hands behind his back and said with a calm smile, "You are very smart, but you don't want to talk nonsense like this. I have a banquet with Wei Zheng and others, and we drink as much fun as we want, so how can we not get used to it?"

It's like pampering.

Tang Jian said thoughtfully: "The Turkic people are coming again. Your Highness wants Tudiji to contain the soldiers and horses of Liang Shidu?"

Tang Jian deserved to be the top diplomat of the Tang Dynasty. After learning a few words, he immediately deduced these two things.

Li Yuanji didn't hide anything, and there was no need to hide it, he nodded immediately and said: "That's right, but it's not about letting Tudiji restrain all the soldiers and horses of the Liang Division, but some of the soldiers and horses of the Liang Division.

With the number of soldiers and horses of the Tudi Ji Department, it is impossible to contain all the soldiers and horses of Liang Shidu. "
