Datang first village

Hearing that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty returned to Chang'an, the news alone made the envoys of various countries living in Chang'an feel as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they lined up to send invitations to Qin Wangzhuang. .

However, Lu Dongzan from Tupan had a different idea.

"Prime Minister, the Tang people must be nervous about the Silk Road, and His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty also came back for this matter."

"Prepare gifts. Since the Ministry of Rites of the Tang people said that King Qin of the Great Tang Dynasty is in charge of foreign negotiations, let's see what King Qin has to say about the wedding."

The first person Li Yuanxing met with was Nishi, who was in the small living room of Qinwangzhuang.

"Excessive kindness, you have killed tens of thousands of people!" Li Yuanxing accused him as soon as he came in.

Ni Yu didn’t retort: ​​“I’m here to ask for help. I don’t want to continue this war. If we continue to fight like this in Western Turks, once winter comes, there will be countless casualties. Nearly 10 people have lost their homes. My The subordinates have piled up more than 1 graves!"

"Adjust, or send troops, or completely defeat them."

"Everything is according to His Highness King Qin's orders." Ni You is a bachelor this time, and he didn't listen to Li Yuanxing's advice last time. If he became the Great Khan himself, there might be no civil strife in Western Turks. The current Great Khan simply can't accept it. If the public is not convinced, there will naturally be wars.

"You go back and integrate the Western Turks. A few people will die soon."

Hearing what Li Yuanxing said, Nishi immediately picked up a pen on the desk next to him and wrote a letter. He didn't leave a dated letter, but just said who he sent someone to assassinate, and then he listed the names and was willing to accept the letter. Datang's mediation of the truce is also willing to accept the accusation of assassination.

Li Yuanxing also wrote a note.

"Go back. Before you go back, you received [-] sabers from the Ministry of War. This is my current support for you. Finally, you should know that Little Khan Tuli is very rich now. Why he is rich is probably no secret. "

Ni Shi hesitated, although he chose to surrender, it didn't mean he was willing to let the Western Turks lead the charge for the Tang Dynasty.

But Li Yuanxing couldn't ignore what he said, so he gave a salute: "His Royal Highness Qin, please allow me to go back and discuss with the elders!"

"I'm not in a hurry!" Li Yuanxing picked up the teacup and took a sip of water slowly.

After Ni Shi left, Pei Xi came to Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, the people from Tufan brought some gifts. There is 5000 taels of gold on the gift list, which is said to be a gift for Datang."

Li Yuanxing hesitated for a moment: "Take him to the other courtyard in Qinling Mountains. This king will meet him there."

In order to show off his wealth, Wu Zhao built the Qinling other courtyard specially for Li Lanshan to visit.This place is usually cleaned every day, but the real time to live here is too little.No one may come here once a month, so the place looks more and more quiet.

Turpan's guests were kept out of the door.

"We are envoys from Tupan!" Lu Dongzan glared at the soldiers blocking the way.

A thin young team leader came over from the side: "This is the other courtyard of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty. Only three of you can enter, and the rest retreat to the reception waiting area at the main entrance of King Qinzhuang. Remember to pass by the small side to avoid damage. Anyone who stole any flowers and plants is disrespectful to the Qin Palace. Anyone who enters the other courtyard, put their weapons here, and let us check before entering."

"You..." The deputy envoy next to Lu Dongzan only said a word, and was knocked out by a guard next to him with a stick.Except for the guards with sticks, the soldiers standing guard around didn't even turn their eyes.

"If you want to challenge the dignity of the Tang Dynasty and the majesty of our King Qin, just come. Otherwise, those who are stubborn when they can't resist will only be laughed at. I will give you twenty breaths to make a choice , Is it according to the rules, or..." The captain did not say what the consequences would be.

Lu Dong sighed in admiration, and put his own knife, short knife, and dagger on the shelf next to him.

The two people who followed him in were his guards and the other was very proficient in Chinese.The rest of the people retreated to the main gate of Qinwangzhuang according to the way they came. It was five or six miles from here to the main gate. Since the envoys did not resist, they had no choice but to obey orders.

At this moment, Lu Dongzan asked, "If I don't agree, will I not be able to see King Qin?"

"To be precise, you people can't see the sun of tomorrow!"

Lu Dongzan was choked quite a bit, but he had nothing to refute. If he wants to kill, he must deal with the real power, not a small soldier. .

Therefore, when Lu Dongzan entered the living room, as soon as he saw Li Yuanxing sitting on the seat reading a book, he said loudly: "How can you Tang people be so rude? I am an envoy of Tupan, representing Tupan. Come for alliance!"

Li Yuanxing nodded slightly and glanced at Lu Dongzan, before returning to the book.

Qiu Xiang, who was standing next to Li Yuanxing, said at this time: "Slap your mouth twenty times, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war against our Tang Dynasty. His Royal Highness ordered that anyone who dares to declare war against the Tang Dynasty should fly a boat to fight, and turn the enemy's capital into a sea of ​​flames. Show God's punishment!"

Qiuxiang used the word "God's Punishment", which made Lu Dongzan shiver uncontrollably.

The flying boat flies around Chang'an all day long, and it can transport goods and people.He hadn't seen it close, but he had seen it countless times in Chang'an, and he had also inquired about it. There are two types of flying boats, civilian and military. The civilian ones are used to carry people and cargo, but no one mentioned the military ones. half a word.

Thinking of the flying boat that can fly in the sky, Lu Dongzan does not doubt that this thing can fly directly over the capital of Tupan and drop flammable objects, no matter how it can set the capital on fire, and ignore all the checkpoints. It is a weapon of war.

Slap your mouth, no matter what you say, you are also an envoy of Tupan.

While hesitating, Qiuxiang took a step forward: "Where is the guard, the time is up."

Snapped!Lu Dongzan slapped himself.

"Is there anyone standing at the mouth?" Qiuxiang said coldly.

Lu Dongzan glanced at Li Yuanxing, the Great Tang Qin King was still sitting there steadily, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.Lu Dongzan was terrified. King Qin of the Tang Dynasty was a ruthless man, and the rumors from various states around this point became more and more terrifying.

Once kneeling down, no matter in terms of momentum or mentality, he has already lost.

After two slaps, only seeing Li Yuanxing raise his hand slightly, Qiu Xiang immediately said: "Your Highness, it is enough to repent. After all, you are also an envoy of a country, but remember that Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette. Remember to be polite everywhere, barbaric behavior will be laughed at by others."

Lu Dongzan's face turned green, you were the ones who beat people, you were the ones who frightened us, and you were the ones who talked about etiquette.

"Your Highness ordered, I am a guest from afar, sit and serve refreshments!"

From the beginning until now, Li Yuanxing didn't say a word, just read with a book in his hand, Lu Dongzan was far away, and he didn't know what book Li Yuanxing was holding in his hand.

"His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, I offer 5000 taels of gold and [-] pieces of treasures. I am willing to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and ask for a marriage. My great..."

Before Lu Dongzan finished speaking, Qiu Xiang asked under Li Yuanxing's signal: "Are these gifts a gift for the diplomatic relations between the two countries, or a gift for courtship?"

When asked, Lu Dongzan was immediately stunned. He saw from the records of his predecessors that if he brought a gift of [-] yuan, the one he got back was worth at least [-] yuan. When did the people of Tang Dynasty become like businessmen?

But he still had to answer this question.

"His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, this is just a gift. If the Tang Dynasty agrees to marry, I will prepare another gift like this. Of course, there are more treasures!"

Li Yuanxing stood up: "Do you know how much the bride price is for my seventh brother to marry Princess Silla? You are only 5000 taels of gold, and you are ashamed to shout out in front of this king. You want to see the gold. There are gold coins in my warehouse." A million catties of gold, your mere 5000 taels of gold, is like a small bag of rice in the granary, I have no interest in it."

"The alliance is naturally for the benefit of the two countries?" Lu Dongzan said loudly.

"I don't know, what can Tupan bring to Datang? You want to learn craftsman's technology, literature, painting, etc. from Datang. But I don't know what you can give to Datang by Tupan, what qualifications do you have to share with Datang? Tang talks about forming an alliance. Or, does Datang need an ally like you?"

There was a playful smile in Li Yuanxing's tone.

Lu Dongzan breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as there is a talk, there will be a chance if there is a talk.

"His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, form an alliance with me, Tupan, to ensure the safety of the southwest of the Tang Dynasty and the safety of the Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty. We Tupan will send elites to protect these two sides. There are hundreds of people in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. The Yue people rebelled, the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks, and the big cannibals all affected the safety of this Silk Road."

"Interesting, this is really interesting." Li Yuanxing smiled.

Lu Dongzan became more confident, and continued: "Since the distinguished King Qin of the Tang Dynasty thinks it is interesting, it is necessary to continue the discussion. In fact, we still have many special products that can be traded with Datang in Tupan, and we can sell Tianzhu The goods are shipped to Datang for trade!"

"First, our Tang Dynasty has already traded with the Tianzhu people. Second, the current goods of the Tang Dynasty are not even enough for our own use, and we are not interested in asking for the Silk Road. The Silk Road is the businessmen from the Western Regions who came to the Tang Dynasty to seek profits. Tang has nothing to do. Three, if you are interested, you can stay here for a few more days, and King Baiyue will be taken to Chang'an soon as a prisoner."

While Li Yuanxing was speaking, he had already taken a few steps forward.

"This king is not interested in forming an alliance with Tupan. It has no real benefits. You are not even qualified to serve as vassals of the Tang Dynasty. Forming an alliance is simply a joke!"

"I have warriors in Dapan!" Lu Dongzan was really irritated. He thought that the young Qin King in front of him was just teasing him and the whole Tupan.

Li Yuanxing had an indifferent expression: "Warriors, how many people did you bring to Chang'an, are they all real warriors?"

"Three thousand!" Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said, "They are all true warriors of Tupan!"

Li Yuanxing smiled and sat down again, while Qiuxiang clapped her hands lightly.A row of maids came out from the back hall, each of them was beautiful and moving, wearing long silk dresses of various colors.

"Ignorant Turpan people, these are the dancers of His Royal Highness the King of Qin. You can choose three of them, and they are enough to defeat your three thousand warriors. Or in Qin Wangzhuang, ordinary maids can choose three of them. Higher The maid disdains such a game!" (To be continued.)
