Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People
Chapter 133 Highlight moment?
Chapter 133 Highlight moment?
It was the national policy of the imperial court to borrow troops from the Turks to jointly encircle and suppress the Khitans.
Lingzhou is extremely important as a negotiation location for both parties.
Therefore, in the early morning, Wen Kai, the governor of Lingzhou, dressed in red official uniforms and led a group of subordinates to stand at the boundary gate and look towards the official road in the distance.
At this time, Lingzhou officials rode several fast horses from far to near and came close to hold a fist.
"Reporting to Governor Wen, the Imperial Guards have been spotted twenty miles ahead. They will arrive in one hour!"
Signaling Tan Ma to retreat, the accompanying official looked at Wen Kai: "Master Fu, there is still an hour before Her Royal Highness the Princess arrives in Lingzhou. Can you go and have a rest first?"
Wen Kai shook his head and stroked his beard and said: "No, an hour passed quickly. But have the travel arrangements for the princess and Master Xue been properly arranged?"
"This negotiation has attracted everyone's attention, and I don't want to leave an impression on the court that nothing has been done."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the official has arranged top-notch rooms for the two princesses. The fruits and delicacies are all shipped from eight hundred miles south of Lingnan."
"Master Xue's is a little worse. He lives in a wine pool and a meat forest. The girls he sleeps with are all inexperienced girls from Wanhua Tower. They are guaranteed to satisfy him."
Wen Kai patted the accompanying officials on the shoulders with satisfaction and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, where did Fan Xin go? He is a thorn in Wu Shangshu's side. Don't let his standards be too high."
The accompanying official glanced around, stood on tiptoes and whispered a few words in his ear.
Wen Kai kept nodding his head after hearing this.
"Yes, yes, we will arrange to sleep in Datongbu, the simplest inn. It saves money and is convenient."
While he was talking, a golden flag with a yellow dragon and a Chinese character suddenly appeared on the official road in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, a luxurious carriage came here escorted by thousands of majestic guards.
Seeing this scene, everyone was refreshed and tidied up their clothes.
"You wait here until my officer comes forward!"
Wen Kai coughed, strode to the luxury carriage, knelt on his knees and bowed.
"Wen Kai, the governor of Lingzhou, led the local officials to see Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
The curtain was opened, and Princess Taiping, who was wearing a red palace dress, stepped out of the carriage with the help of her maid, and looked at the officials condescendingly.
"You don't need to be polite, Governor Wen. This time I come to Lingzhou to negotiate with the Turks, and I have to rely on your help. I can't afford such a big gift."
"Your Highness Princess, you are serious. It is my honor to serve the imperial court."
Wen Kai got up from the ground, turned his eyes to Xue Huaiyi who was riding a horse, and held his hand politely.
"This must be the famous Master Xue in Luoyang. I have admired him for a long time!"
"Amitabha, you are so good. I am just a monk. How can I stand up to your praise?" Xue Huaiyi clasped his hands together and made a bow.
"It would be great if Governor Wen could provide us with some water and food."
"Don't worry, Master Xue. Your Majesty has already arranged a place for you."
As Wen Kai waved, several officials from the Lingzhou government brought two eight-carat sedans to carry Princess Taiping and Xue Huaiyi into the city.
In order to show that he valued the two of them, Wen Kai ordered people to lay out a red carpet and arranged for some fake people to warmly welcome them on both sides of the street.
When the guards came all the way to Lingzhou Xingyuan, Princess Taiping was immediately stunned by the luxurious room in front of her, and her eyes towards Wen Kai became much more cordial.
"Your Highness, this is the small cabin built by my superior based on your residence in Chang'an. I hope you will be satisfied."
"Prince Wen is interested." Princess Taiping nodded and opened the door first and walked into the room.
"Master Xue, your wine pool and meat forest are guaranteed to satisfy you, please!"
Wen Kai made a gesture of invitation with a smile on his face.
"Amitabha, there is Governor Lao Wen." Xue Huaiyi glanced at Fan Xin, tossed his monk's robe and followed the official to the backyard.
"Master, let's go in and have a rest. I've never lived in such a luxurious house."
Liuzi rubbed his hands impatiently, stared at Xingyuan with fiery eyes and said
Fan Xin smiled slightly and was about to lead a few subordinates in to rest.
Not wanting to, Wen Kai stretched out his hand to stop him and said with a smile.
"I'm sorry Fan Shaoqing, I know you are honest, so I booked a Datong shop diagonally across from Xingyuan."
"You and your subordinates can go there to rest and have two meals a day of radish and cabbage soup."
"please!"
Seeing Wen Kai's smiling face, Liu Zi grabbed his round collar.
"You old dog, you are the deposed envoy of Guannei Road appointed by the imperial court. Why do you let my young master live in Datongpu?"
"Do you believe I can blow your dog's head off with one punch?"
"What are you going to do? Put me down quickly, or I will report you to the police!"
Wen Kai's face turned red, and even the tone of his voice changed.
"Forget it, the palace was built by the Lingzhou government. Since they don't welcome us, there's no need to force it."
"Master, you?"
"Let's go, it's the same if we live in Datongpu."
Seeing Fan Xin leaving with the baggage on his back, Liu Zi glared at Wen Kai, threw him to the ground and followed him.
After coming out of the cabin, Xiao Liu was filled with anger and kept cursing.
Fan Xin ignored him and walked to the Tiandi Inn diagonally across the street with his hands behind his back.
The shopkeeper obviously knew they were coming. He pushed the abacus on the table and walked out from behind the counter.
"Is this Young Master Fan Xin, the young minister of Dali Temple? Sit inside. Governor Wen has already ordered a meal for you."
After saying this, the waiter came out of the kitchen with radish soup and two plates of pickles. "A total of three dishes and one soup are all hot. Please use them with caution."
Looking at the clear and watery carrot soup, Liuzi slammed the table.
"It's so unreasonable that you dare to fool us with this thing!"
"Master, this is too bullying!"
Fan Xin laughed, took out ten taels of silver from the bag and handed it to him.
"Go and order some good banquets on the tables to reward your brothers."
"Okay, I'm going to buy some food and wine right now." Liuzi took the silver ingot and took a few Qianniu Guards to the street.
While Fan Xin and his party were sitting at the Tiandi Inn waiting for dinner, a grand reception banquet was being held in the palace.
While the birds were singing and the swallows were dancing, Wen Kai stood up, picked up the wine glass and smiled at Princess Taiping.
"Your Highness, I heard that you are proficient in music, so I specially invited the best singer from the Western Regions. What do you think?"
Princess Taiping glanced at the voluptuous Hu Ji and nodded slightly: Not bad, her dancing is elegant, not inferior to the Luoyang singer.
After saying that, he searched the crowd with his eyes and frowned slightly.
"Why isn't Fan Xin here?"
The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became tense, and Wen Kai said awkwardly: "Back to Your Highness, Fan Shaoqing didn't want to stay in the inn anymore." "
"I haven't had time to inform him yet."
Seeing Princess Taiping's displeasure, Xue Huaiyi smiled and came to the rescue.
"Forget it, Fan Xin has always regarded himself as an honest man, so let him go. We are enough to negotiate with the Turks.
Princess Taiping sighed secretly and was about to nod when two envoys from the Tang Dynasty suddenly opened the door and walked in.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yinzhu has been sent to Lingzhou by Khan Mochui for negotiation. She is currently in Shilipo outside Lingzhou City."
As soon as these words came out, the ethereal strings of fairy music suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at the two envoys in surprise.
Princess Taiping put down her wine glass and stood up from her seat. She stared at her butler with her beautiful eyes and said in a trembling voice.
"Xue San, you said that Mo Chui Khan sent his daughter to participate in the negotiations?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Xue San said excitedly: "When we first went to Black Sand City, we thought we would return without success."
"Unexpectedly, the Turkic princess told us that she would come to Lingzhou in person to negotiate with His Highness to show respect for the Tang Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Xue San patted his head: "By the way, the Turkic princess has something to tell Master Xue."
"What are you talking about?" Princess Taiping glanced at Xue Huaiyi and asked curiously.
She couldn't figure out what could be said between the two of them.
"The Turkic Princess said that in order to thank Master Xue for saving her life, she would personally treat Master Xue to a meal after arriving in Lingzhou."
With a bang, the whole place was boiling.
Everyone, including Princess Taiping, looked at Xue Huaiyi with shock in their eyes.
They never expected that the dignified Turkic princess would invite Master Xue to dinner.
Unexpectedly, Xue Huaiyi's influence had become so great that even the Turks were intimidated by his reputation.
"Could this be Master Xue's true strength?" Princess Taiping thought to herself.
She originally thought that the story about cooking cakes was Xue Huaiyi's bragging, but now it seems that she was obviously overly worried.
Compared to Fan Xin, Xue Huaiyi is the most capable person.
Thinking of this, Princess Taiping looked at Xue Huaiyi differently.
Feeling the admiration of everyone, Xue Huaiyi's waist gradually straightened up, and a sense of pride grew in his heart for no reason.
I thought that Xue Xiaobao had always been the judge of other people's faces since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would make the decision here.
In particular, Princess Taiping's shockingly beautiful eyes inspired him the most.
"Amitabha, donors don't need to look at this young monk like this. Monks should be compassionate."
"Giving a piece of cooking cake to the Turkic Khan back then was purely out of kindness."
"I didn't expect that Mo Chui Khan still remembers his love. This really makes the young monk sigh with emotion."
Although he said it modestly, the pride on Xue Huaiyi's face was very obvious.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled at Xue Huaiyi.
"Master Xue is indeed a person trusted by the Queen Mother. This little fame and little profit alone is beyond our reach."
"Yes, the cake is small, but it affects the success or failure of the negotiations between the two countries. Without your good deeds in the past, there would be no good situation today."
In the compliment, Princess Taiping walked up to Xue Huaiyi and said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to you this time. After the matter is completed, I will personally report your contribution to the court."
Looking at Princess Taiping's beautiful face, Xue Huaiyi felt that his bones were numb.
Subconsciously, he patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. The matter of borrowing troops from the Turks will be taken care of by Huaiyi."
"I hope we can return to Luoyang smoothly before dark tomorrow."
Princess Taiping smiled and said nothing.
After accepting everyone's compliments, Xue Huaiyi said loudly and energetically.
"Come here, put on the golden armor for the little monk, and let's go out together to meet the Turkic princess!
