Datang first village

Little Tuli Khan didn't eat much during the dinner.

All this is because he has something on his mind, so naturally he can't eat anything.

This time at the night banquet in General Tiance's Mansion, the host and guest were the little Khan Tuli who came from afar and his wife, Princess Huainan of the former Sui Dynasty.The next guest is Ashnadur and his first wife, Princess Hengyang of the Tang Dynasty.

Little Tuli Khan really couldn't remember what he ate during the banquet, except for the roasted lamb.

After the banquet, Li Yuanxing asked people to call people from several major newspapers in Chang'an. Since he came to Chang'an, he naturally had to deal with many things in person.

Making an arrangement in advance will surely have a miraculous effect.

In the early morning of the next day, the Goguryeo envoys took the initiative to find the Baekje envoys in the early morning: "Reputation is very important, you should take the initiative to tell the story clearly, otherwise your Baekje will be difficult to move in Chang'an, and I will be embarrassed by Goguryeo."

"Speak clearly, the people of Tang are unreasonable first!"

"It's just beating a woman. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, you only need to pay a bucket of rice." The Goguryeo envoy said with a hint of anger.What made him angry was that the Baekje envoys complicated such a small matter. You must know that they came to Chang'an City to seek peace with Datang.

The Baekje envoy was silent, and he used his silence to resist the pressure brought by the Goguryeo envoy.

"I, Koguryo, have already lost two cities. The thirteen cities of Silla, which I occupied together with Baekje, will take at least two years before we can really bring output to our two countries. , if there is another war, what will happen to Silla's counterattack?" The Goguryeo envoys began to reason again.

"You are enemies front and rear, this is indeed a trouble!" The Baekje envoy was not in a hurry.

The Goguryeo envoy said again: "If I, Goguryeo, can't hold on and can only negotiate peace with Silla, then what should you do with Baekje?" Having said that, it is already a threat.

The Baekje envoy was silent.

He knew in his heart that Silla was much stronger than their Baekje. If Goguryeo was not dragging it, Baekje might be in danger of destroying the country at any time, so for Baekje, an alliance with Goguryeo is far more important than peace Datang alliance is more important.

"So, what do you think? A little bit of your face and the country's major affairs, that's important!"

"I'll go, I'll go now." Baekje envoy walked out angrily.

Ulji Moon-deok, dressed as a general, came out from the back hall: "Baekje people always want to take advantage of both sides!"

"Our Goguryeo has no way to take Baekje, unless we can form an alliance with Datang and Silla at the same time, and then divide Baekje with Silla. This is the best strategy. After the war, quickly defeat Silla and dominate the peninsula. With the power to fight against Datang, such a plan cannot tolerate any mistakes."

Ulji Mundeok also said: "Allying with Baekje and annexing Silla slowly is the safest way!"

The people of Goguryeo are calculating, but the envoys of Baekje are full of anger.

Although he was angry, he had no choice but to take the initiative to come to the newspaper office of Chang'an News. After all, he was an envoy of a country, and the visit of the Baekje envoy was received by a new and decent person.

Now, the positions within the newspaper have been renamed.

The shopkeeper is called the editor-in-chief, and then a deputy editor-in-chief is added.Penke is still called Penke, but five levels of penke have been added: gold, silver, copper, iron, and wood. There is no practical plan for how to divide this level, and the newspaper guild is also working on it. Discussed about it.

"This envoy wants to clarify what happened in Chang'an East City that day, so as not to be framed by unscrupulous people!"

"Very good!" The person in charge of the reception was the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News, a member of the Cui clan.

"That day, the envoy met a prostitute who pretended to be the princess of Goguryeo, so he beat her. This envoy wants to ask you, are ordinary women allowed to wear the clothes of the princess of the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty?"

When the Baekje envoy came up, he didn't tell the story of the incident, but instead accused and asked questions.

The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an City was angry, but on the surface he remained calm: "This matter is interesting. In the Tang Dynasty, it was already a crime for the common people to wear the clothes of the gentry, and the most serious one could be exiled for thousands of miles. The law stipulates that only law enforcement officers can carry out punishment, and any lynching is prohibited.”

The Baekje envoy was overjoyed that the other party actually supported his statement.

"In my Dabaekje, lynching is allowed, and I am the envoy of Dabaekje. Therefore, I received many accusations for beating a prostitute, which made me extremely unhappy."

"Since this is the case, why don't we make a record. Your envoy is naturally innocent, and it will be better if you can prove that you are innocent!"

The Baekje envoy laughed: "Record it!"

After the pen and paper were ready, the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News asked, "First question, did your envoy meet that woman in the costume of the Queen of Goguryeo by chance in Chang'an East City?"

"It's not wrong, it's just a chance encounter!"

"Then the second question, does she claim to be the princess?"

"That's not true. She claims to be a commoner." The Baekje envoy replied truthfully.

The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News was unhappy with the question, but in his heart he was recalling what he had said about the Baekje envoy and Jin Manqing after meeting His Royal Highness Qin Wang last night.

He didn't dare to speak too quickly, for fear that he might miss His Highness King Qin's plan by not being thorough enough.So I wrote slowly, finished writing slowly, and continued to ask unhurriedly:

"Since she didn't claim to be the princess of Goguryeo, it's not a crime of impersonation. Of course, the Department of Baifu under the Ministry of Rites is responsible for checking if the dress is presumptuous."

"Well, what you said is not partial!" Hearing this remark, the Baekje envoy thought that the person in front of him was a fair person.

The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News took a deep breath secretly, he knew that the most critical time had come.

"I would like to ask your envoy, as far as I know that the woman once claimed to be a commoner, a commoner in Chang'an. Has your envoy heard this?"

The Baekje envoy's heart tightened, and the woman turned out to be a commoner in Chang'an City, so he immediately asked: "She is a commoner there, is it related to the arrogance of her clothes?"

"It doesn't matter, no matter where she is from, it's wrong for her clothes to go beyond what she should have. As someone said just now, she's not pretending to be a nobleman, she's just arrogating in the color of her clothes. This is a matter under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Etiquette. .”

The Baekje envoy nodded after hearing this: "This envoy heard her say that she is a commoner. I also heard someone next to her say that she is a commoner in Chang'an."

"One more word, is your envoy punishing her before or after?"

What a punishment, the use of this word is so wonderful that the deputy editor-in-chief himself is praising himself.After finishing speaking, he stared at the eyes of the Baekje envoy, expecting what the Baekje envoy would say next.

"I heard it before, and I heard it later. After hearing that she claimed to be a commoner, if it wasn't for those idlers in Dongshi who stopped her, I would continue to punish her. This envoy will present to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and ask the Ministry of Rites to thoroughly investigate the matter. It is a matter of presumptuousness, and it is a heavy responsibility. This envoy also demands that the pen writers who maliciously smear this envoy be held accountable!"

"Everything naturally has the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News transferred the record in his hand:

"Your envoy, check to see if X's record is consistent with the conversation just now. There is no unauthorized modification, and no words have been added or subtracted. If it is correct, please sign, and X will print this record in the newspaper tomorrow without any fault. , naturally there is a public opinion!"

After the Baekje envoy read it, there was really nothing wrong with it, and it was exactly the same as what he said just now.

Especially in the last sentence, the Baekje envoy said that he would punish the adulterous women angrily, and that he would go to the Ministry of Rites to investigate the arrogance of the civilian women of the Tang Dynasty in wearing the costumes of the Goguryeo princess, and the malicious smears of the pen writers in the newspapers.

"This last sentence must be printed, and this envoy must submit it to the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Of course, if the printed version is one word different from this one, your envoy will come and smash the signboard of my Datang Chang'an Newspaper, and my Chang'an Newspaper office will be closed from then on. My newspaper industry also has rules, but privately change the interviewees. One word." The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News said seriously.

The Baekje envoy was very satisfied: "Very good, tomorrow morning Chang'an will send [-] copies to Yingbinyuan!"

The Baekje envoy left satisfied, but the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News breathed a long sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that he was actually sweating, and his entire back was wet.

"Prepare the car, send a certain speed to General Tiance's Mansion!"

In General Tiance's mansion, Li Er was playing military chess with Li Jing in Li Yuanxing's study, and Li Yuanxing was the referee, sitting on the chair on the left side of the center of the chessboard.

In this game, only Li Yuanxing was the referee.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty played chess with the Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty. No matter who wins or loses, the result cannot be spread.

"Your Highness, the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Chang'an News please see me!"

President Li Er nodded to Li Yuanxing, and Li Yuanxing opened the door and walked outside.

"Your Highness, this is the original dialogue of the Baekje envoys. This is a copied copy by someone." The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News held both hands.

Li Yuanxing took a look at it, and accepted the copied copy calmly.

Then he said in a very calm tone: "Next, your task is to stir up the theory about the cause of Sui Zheng's failure in Goguryeo. This is a political theory."

"Your Highness, don't worry, the Newspaper Guild will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!"

"The second thing is to conduct a theory of etiquette and a government investigation. For this matter, you must know how to guide the people's thinking. Write down what I mean." Li Yuanxing said, gently After beckoning, a little eunuch immediately brought over a small table, as well as paper and pen.

After getting ready, the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News stood respectfully in front of the table. "Your Highness, please show me!"

"My Great Tang respects the etiquette of all ethnic groups and respects the customs and habits of any ethnic group. But only my friends in the Great Tang. On top of this, you can choose one or two friendly states to hold a lot of money."

After listening to Li Yuanxing, the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News asked: "Khitan, Mohe, and Turkic. Your Highness thinks it's good!"

"That's right. Let the Khitan people be praised more highly. The Turkic people are not a family this time. You just need to be careful."

As Li Yuanxing said, the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News was seriously recording. (To be continued.)
