Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Both Abao and Zhao Hai looked a little bad. The Nanzhao envoys clearly did this on purpose, to make trouble for Shen Lian.

However, Shen Lian's expression remained unchanged.

He laughed and said, "Dare to ask the name of the envoy of Nanzhao Kingdom?"

The Nanzhao envoy cupped his hands and said, "Bucai, the Prime Minister of the Nanzhao Kingdom, Wang Chengdao."

"Wang Chengdao?"

Shen Lian said: "This name is very similar to my name from Tang Dynasty!"

Wang Chengdao said calmly: "It's just a name, it's just a code name, what's the difference? Is Datang depriving me of the right to choose a name?"

Shen Lian laughed and said: "Of course not, I just feel that this name is the same as a rebellious minister and thief in my Tang Dynasty, so I am a little surprised... Oh, I didn't criticize Sang Huai, please forgive me .”

Wang Chengdao: "..."

I didn't expect you to criticize Sang Huai.

now I know!

You might as well not explain!
Ah Bao and Zhao Hai had a good time, asking you to cause trouble for Commander Shen, you deserve to be scolded!

Shen Lian's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at these envoys and said, "The envoy Wang is right. You have come from a long way. My Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Normally, we should arrange for you in advance. residence."

"As a matter of fact, I have really made a lot of preparations to welcome you all."

Shen Lian pointed to the delicate-looking post stations behind him, and said, "To tell you the truth, when I knew that you would come, I began to personally supervise the Ministry of Industry to repair the post stations, and incorporated the unique star imagery of my Tang Dynasty. , each courtyard where the envoys live is meticulously built, so that you can live in peace of mind and feel the unique cultural atmosphere of my Tang Dynasty."

"It's just that, at that time, I only wanted to bring you an excellent living experience, but after the completion, I suddenly discovered something, which made me feel difficult for a while, so I didn't directly arrange for you to live in which courtyard. .”

When the envoys heard this, someone asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Shen Lian said: "In my Tang Dynasty, there is an economic record that there are 36 stars in the Big Dipper system. These 72 stars are divided into [-] stars in Tiangang and [-] stars in Disha, which are the stars that strengthen the Big Dipper. "

"As it happens, there are a total of [-] countries that came to Datang this time, so I ordered people to repair the station according to the method of [-] stars in the Big Dipper."

Although it is said that all nations will come to North Korea, it will not really come to 1 countries.

Only one hundred and eight countries came to Datang this time.

And this still includes all the countries, large and small, around Datang.

Big countries, such as Dashi Turkic, needless to say.

And a small country may only have a population of 10,000+ in the country, which is incomparable with a big country.

But because it is in the cracks of a big country, it survived safely.

In this way, one hundred and eight countries were collected.

Otherwise, normally, there are only dozens of countries in the sky.

"One hundred and eight stars... so what?" Sometimes the envoy was puzzled.

Wang Chengdao, the envoy of the Nanzhao Kingdom, seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly.

And Shen Lian sighed at this moment: "One hundred and eight stars are divided into 36 stars in Tiangang and 72 stars in Disha!"

"As we all know, 36 Tiangang and 72 Disha have different statuses, and even their rankings in their own systems are different."

"so….…"

Shen Lian sighed and said: "This is the official's trouble. Tell me, who will I arrange in the 36 Tiangang? And who will I arrange in the 72 Disha? After the arrangement, how should the ranking be set?" ?”

"That's why I have to wait for everyone to come here. I want to hear everyone's opinions. Who will live in 36 Tiangangli and who will live in 72 Dishali? Why don't you choose it yourself? Or you can vote for it. ?”

Shen Lian sighed and expressed his distress.

When these envoys heard the words, some of them didn't react yet, but some of them changed their faces immediately.

Such as the Tubo prince, the great prince Tie Le, the Nanzhao envoys, the Goguryeo envoys, etc...
The faces of these people have changed.

Only then did they realize that this Shen Lian of Datang was so terribly cheated!
No wonder they didn't arrange accommodation for them, and the co-authors are waiting for them here!
36 Tiangang, 72 Earth Sha!
This represents status!
The envoy's residence there shows his own country's status among the one hundred and eight countries!

So, who doesn't want to break their heads and live in 36 Tiangang?
After all, this is the only way to show the strength and status of one's own country.

But 36 Tiangang, just so many, who will go?Who doesn't go?

Not to mention, there is also a ranking inside the 36 Tiangang!
Who wouldn't want to live in the first?
And this... is inevitable, and it will make each other feel competitive.

He was even beaten to death for a place to live.

And once so....
Then the so-called alliance before they came to Datang has become a complete joke!

Don't talk about dealing with Datang!
With just one residence, there will be civil strife, and even turn against each other.

Now, Shen Lian just used one place to live, and let their plan come to nothing!
This…….
The Tubo prince could not help but look squarely at Shen Lian.

The Nanzhao envoys also squinted their eyes and looked at Shen Lian with an expression of no relaxation, only solemnity.

This is an insidious and ruthless man!
In the courtyard of the post station.

All the envoys looked different.

Some are domineering and confident, some are frowning and worried, some are casual, and more are full of thoughts, and their expressions flicker when they look at other envoys.

Different identities and different ideas are vividly expressed on the faces of these envoys at this moment.

Shen Lian's eyes swept over their faces one by one, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

He suddenly turned around, walked to two bulletin boards covered by red cloth, and then, under the puzzled gaze of all the envoys, grabbed the red cloth on the bulletin board and yanked hard--
Two huge wooden signs appeared directly in the sight of everyone.

The two wooden plaques are the same size, but one wooden plaque is covered with gold paint, which looks like a golden light, while the other wooden plaque is painted with silver paint, which also looks very expensive.

If this wooden plaque is only made of silver paint, just looking at it, people can't help but sigh in admiration, what a big deal, it's real silver that was crushed and painted on it.

But at this moment, beside the silver paint, there is a golden paint, which makes the silver paint instantly inferior.

And on the top of these two noble wooden signs, there are simple and simple characters!
On the top of the golden lacquered wooden sign, the words "Tiangangyuan" are written.

On the top of the silver lacquered wooden sign, the words "Di Sha Yuan" are written.

And in the center of the wooden sign, the names of the 36 heavenly stars and the 72 earthly evil stars are marked in sequence, and at the same time, there is an empty piece behind the names.

Obviously, it should be reserved for the envoys who stayed there.

Where the envoys of a country live, they will write the name of the country on it.

At that time, people who come and go, as long as they enter the post station through the courtyard, they can naturally see where the envoys of various countries live.

In the same way... from this, we can see which country's status among the one hundred and eight countries!

Do they live in Tiangangyuan or Dishayuan?

Is it ranked first, or ranked last!
This is about the face of a country, the status of a country, the majesty of a country, and the national strength of a country!
Among the envoys present, few were stupid, but many were wise.

So as soon as he saw the signs of Tiangang and Disha, he knew what kind of trick Shen Lian was playing.

This is clearly here to rank the countries!
As for the ranking, there will definitely be fights, there will be people who will be jealous, and there will be people who will not accept it!
At that time, contradictions will naturally arise!

So any union, any agreement, will be gone!

And this... Even if they knew about it, there was nothing they could do about it.

Because this is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate one's own national strength and status. Strong countries always look down on weak countries.

For a strong country, living in Tiangangyuan is a certainty.

Without any suspense!
And those who live in the Tiangang Courtyard are all strong countries, and there is an obvious difference from weak countries.

This will make those powerful countries feel respected.

Why are they not happy?
As for the opinions of weak countries?Who will listen!
For example, as strong as a big food country, as strong as Turks, if they live with a small country with only tens of thousands of people, wouldn't that be embarrassing for them?

So even if these envoys understood what Shen Lian meant and knew about Shen Lian's tricks, there was nothing they could do.

This is conspiracy!

Majestic conspiracy!
Conspiracy, you can dodge!
Yangmou, there is no way to hide, no way to avoid!

Tubo Crown Prince Qihela took a look at Shen Lian, and said sarcastically: "That subordinate of the King of Chu in the Tang Dynasty? You really deserve your reputation. No wonder you, the King of Chu, were able to destroy the Turks. This kind of shameful trick is very slippery."

Shen Lian was not annoyed at all upon hearing this.

He just smiled and said: "What is the explanation of His Royal Highness Tubo Prince's words? Why can't I understand?"

Qihela snorted coldly: "Shen Lian, don't treat everyone as fools."

Shen Lian said unexpectedly: "Fool? No! This officer has always regarded you as honored guests, how could you treat me as a fool?"

He looked at Qihela in surprise, and said, "His Royal Highness Turkic, there is a saying in my Tang Dynasty that the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. I regard you as a distinguished guest, but you say that I treat you as a fool? This seems to be only possible." Explain, Your Highness, don't you think you are a fool yourself? This..."

Shen Lian was very surprised and said: "Is this the usual modest way of Tubo?"

"Hahahaha!"

As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, many people burst into laughter.

Tubo is here, although it is valued by many people because of its strong national power, but Tubo also has enemies, and there are many countries whose national power is not much worse than Tubo, so they are not afraid of Tubo.

Hearing Shen Lian's ridicule at this moment, everyone immediately saw the joke.

"you….…"

When Qihela heard these harsh laughter, his face immediately became extremely angry. He wanted to reprimand Shen Lian, but seeing Shen Lian's calm and gentle face, he couldn't get the words out of his throat.

Because he couldn't think of a rebuttal, after all, he brought up this topic by himself.

And this made him tremble even more.

These Tang people are so insidious, their fists are not good, but their mouths are not forgiving!
Damn!

Seeing Qihela's angry but helpless look, Shen Lian shrugged.

Not only did he not think about finding Qihe to cause trouble at this time, but in the end, Qihe pulled himself to the door to scold him, who can blame him?

He chuckled lightly, and ignored Qihela no more, now is not the time, and fun things will come later.

He looked at the others and said, "I believe everyone is a smart person, so no matter how many people there are, I will stop talking nonsense. Everyone has stood here for a while, and after a while, the sky will be dark." .”

"Therefore, let's not waste any time."

"Tiangang Courtyard, there are 36 courtyards in total, which can accommodate envoys from 36 countries!"

"Dishayuan, there are 72 courtyards in total, which can accommodate envoys from 72 countries!"

"And the residents will write the names of the countries on these two signs. At that time, if you want to find each other, you can also go directly to them according to the above names, which is very convenient."

"so….…"

Shen Lian glanced over the faces of these envoys with different expressions, and said, "How do you think you should choose where you live?"

All the envoys look at me and I look at you, but no one speaks out at this moment.

Seeing this, Shen Lian seemed to have expected it, and was not surprised.

He said: "Since everyone is so humble, let's do it this way. You can choose as you like. Wherever you want to live, you can just go there. If there are many choices, then it's up to you to negotiate and make a final decision." Who actually lives where, and how?"

He didn't say anything about rankings either.

It doesn't make much sense.

On the contrary, it will get angry and make these envoys dissatisfied with themselves.

So, he simply let them choose by themselves!
Choose what you want.

Weak countries can also settle in Tiangang Academy.

Of course... If you are driven away, then you don't blame yourself.

It is already very good to let them choose freely without mandatory arrangements.

At that time, when they are driven away, even if they resent, they will also resent the powerful countries that drove them away.

In this case, the alliance of these countries will naturally feel dissatisfied, and even collapse directly!
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, some of the envoys' expressions changed.

But still no one went out to choose directly.

They are all waiting for a leader.

They were not in a hurry, so Shen Lian was naturally not in a hurry.

He winked at Abao, and Abao brought a small table and a chair directly.

Shen Lian sat down, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank the tea leisurely.

While drinking, he said with a smile: "Dear guests, look at this day, the sun has already set to the west, don't you all want to stand and rest in the yard tonight?"

"Of course, my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and I will try my best to meet your requirements. You can rest in the yard if you want."
