"You... how do you know?"

Lin Xueqing was terrified. The court didn't know about this, but an outsider from another race blurted it out. In this way, there must be some expert advice behind him.

It turned out that Lin Xueqing was originally a descendant of the orthodox branch of the Li family in Longxi. He was lost at the age of three and was picked up by the head of the Lin family in Luoyang. A high-ranking official found clues, but kept silent, and was promoted quietly along the way to help him take root in the Ministry of Industry.

"How do I know, why don't you guess?

Just to remind you, you didn't help me for money, you helped me to avenge your family.

It's okay if you don't help me. Someone from the Li family in Longxi has become an official to an important member of the Ministry of Industry. At this time, the word spreads. How long do you think you still have to go? "Ludong Zan Zhizhu is in his hands, with this bargaining chip, he is not afraid that the other party will not submit.

It took a whole day to prepare, and finally won this important person. In the end, Lu Dongzan still pretended to be a servant, and easily returned to the box of the Grand Theater.

As an old fox for many years, people in Honglu Temple and the Tang court were staring at his group of envoys, and it was clear without thinking about Lu Dongzan.

During the ten days since he came to the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo Prime Minister just wandered around like this, often for a whole day. At the time of Zhongnan Academy, Tubo had already started to make profits secretly.

Three days later, at the Great Tang Dynasty Conference, envoys from various countries met in turn, expressing their desire to learn and imitate the culture of the Central Plains, and to send students to study. Among them, several countries headed by Goguryeo were particularly radical. the meaning of.

There is only one country that is more interesting, and that is the Western Turks. This is another overlord after the fall of Jieli on the grassland, but he does not have the domineering power that everyone imagined. Instead, he is a pro-Tang faction. Let's see what their envoys do You know what you said.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I, the Western Turkic Moheduo Khan, sent me the most cordial greetings to you and the princes of the Tang Dynasty.

Western Turks have always admired the culture of the Central Plains. The wool trade is our first exchange, and the cooperation between the two parties is pleasant. We deeply feel the greatness of the Tang Dynasty, so we want to send our six princes to learn the knowledge of the Central Plains.

But we Khan knew that the grassland people were rude and had no manners, and we wanted to study at Zhongnan Academy, the number one academy in the world, but we were afraid that we would not meet the standards. So when we came here, Khan told us that if we couldn’t enroll, we would let the sixth prince worship the Tang Dynasty. The king of Chu is his adoptive father, so he stayed in Datang to study etiquette. Please give me your permission. "

The words of the Western Turkic envoy are shocking. This guy is too shameless. If he doesn't accept it, he will treat it as his son and post it instead?You are the overlords of the grassland, okay?It is not a vassal of a small country.

Li Er is overjoyed. It seems that under the great power of the Tang Dynasty, there are still people who are aware of current affairs. He stood up and laughed loudly: "Western Turks are full of sincerity. As the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor personally accepted your six princes as adopted sons. Treat each other as family."

4Chapter [-] Intense debates in court to imitate Spring and Autumn?

Li Er accepted the adopted son on the spot, and the Western Turkic envoy was overjoyed, and he fell to the ground and shouted thanks.

A touching event of professing relatives was staged in the hall of the Great Tang Dynasty. The courtiers were dumbfounded. What the hell is the Western Turkic?Is it for fun?In the past, foreigners used marriages to get close to the Central Plains. Is it popular to send sons now?

Li Er also admired his fourth brother Li Yuanba's methods. He didn't know what method he used in the West Turkic party to make the new Khan Mo Hedu of the Western Turkic people be so obedient.

Of course, in order to avoid accidents in the future due to the excessive interaction between the two of them, Li Er played a trick by accepting the prince of Western Turkic as his adopted son, so as to show the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty without leaving any hidden dangers.

Minister of Civil Affairs Du Ruhui took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, the Western Turks and our Tang Dynasty have good neighborliness and friendship, and they advocate the culture of the Central Plains and send their own children as children of the Tang Dynasty. This is sincerity.

On the other hand, there are many countries present who talk about diplomatic relations between the two countries and respect the Central Plains, but without any sincerity, and even threaten Datang with words. I suggest that your Majesty has a clear eye, and those who have sincere friendship with Datang, we should treat them as honored guests. If we are hostile to those who threaten us in the Tang Dynasty, we are naturally not weak and bully. "

"That's right, what Du Xiang said is reasonable, and the veteran seconded it!" Song Guogong Xiao Yu was the first to stand up and support it. He had no good impression of the alliance of several countries headed by Goguryeo.

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal!" All the civil and military officials bowed down in unison.

Yuan Gai Suwen scolded the Western Turks in his heart, but now he had to stand up and explain. After all, he united many countries and wanted to stand up for himself. If he didn't stand up, who would join him?

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have always heard of the state of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, the kingdom of the heavens, and we sincerely admire it. I have never threatened. This envoy still remembers the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods in the Central Plains. Although the countries conquered, they never made things difficult Scholars, there are many countries in the world today, we are willing to follow the etiquette and law of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains, and open our doors to all countries, and welcome scholars to study in the world!"

This speech is really impeccable. Everyone in Datang admires this person's understanding of the Central Plains culture, and also admires this person's tact and eloquence. Datang has come, but he said that he would open his country to allow students to study abroad, and retreat as an advance. In this way, Datang, as a superior country, naturally cannot take the lead in cherishing itself.

Among the generals, Hou Junji came out and cursed: "No threat? Which grandson said before that if Datang disagrees, he will go to war with us?"

The Khitan envoy didn't even think about it, and immediately stood up: "What this envoy said is just a joke, don't take it seriously!"

Everyone in Datang laughed, this guy's Chinese level is still not good, and he didn't even know he was scolded by Hou Junji.

"The diplomatic relations between the two countries will be discussed at the court meeting. How can you have childish remarks? Are you insulting the Tang Dynasty who has no soldiers and no generals?" Hou Junji asked with his eyes wide open.

Although the Khitan envoy was mighty and rough, Hou Junji's murderous aura leaked out of his body, which made him look like a soft-footed shrimp. He shrank his neck and shouted: "If I accidentally said something wrong, we are willing to compensate Datang for ten boxes of gold!" Apologize, never dare to threaten Shangguo."

Seeing this, Emperor Li Er laughed and said, "Okay, Hou Aiqing, since he admitted his mistake sincerely, let's forget about it. Don't let others say that I, Tang Dynasty, are aggressive."

Hou Junji was still unwilling, how could this group of hateful savages compensate Datang with ten boxes of gold?It looks like his Hou Junji's face is worth ten boxes of gold?Didn't it get laughed at by colleagues?

But the emperor had already agreed, so Hou Junji had no choice but to retreat.

He didn't know that the Khitan envoy was also very distressed. He handed over the ten boxes of gold he got from Goguryeo before it was warmed up. It seems that in the future, the cruel words can only be released in the country, and it will be a waste to go out. money.

"Baekje supports the proposal of the Goguryeo ambassador and is willing to open the country to scholars from all over the world."

"Gao Chang also supports and is willing to..."

"Tuyuhun..."

……

The envoys of each country were not fools, and they supported this matter one after another. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty cursed shamelessly. Hou Junji failed to disrupt the situation before, and was unexpectedly dodged by a coward.

Someone among the civil servants stepped forward immediately, and Wei Zheng, the black face of Yushitai, stood up and yelled at Gaogouliyuan Gai Suwen: "What a shameless person, I admire you for being so familiar with the Central Plains culture when you are young, but your excuse Not so good.

It is well known that the great land and resources of the Tang Dynasty have a long heritage, who doesn't admire the Sifang race?Who is here today not to learn from us?

Your country is small and poor, what can our scholars do to travel and study?As soon as this policy of opening up the country comes out, I am afraid that you will learn from us, and our students will not make progress!

Your Majesty, this person is cunning, and Datang must not be fooled. "

Song Guogong Xiao Yu bowed down again: "Your Majesty, the Goguryeo people cannot be trusted. They were capricious villains in the Sui Dynasty. How can there be any credibility?"

"Yes, yes! Your Majesty, think twice!" Many people followed suit.

Yuan Gai Su Wen was annoyed, pointed at Xiao Yu and shouted: "You...the two countries were at war back then, why mention it? It was Goguryeo who sincerely established diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty to avenge the Sui Dynasty! "

Turning around, he retorted to Wei Zheng: "The sage Confucius in the Central Plains said that 'three people must have my teacher'. Although our country is small and the people are weak, there is nothing we can learn from. If the Tang Dynasty is so self-styled, I am afraid that it is not a sage. The way to rejuvenate the country."

"Does the Great Tang look down on our countries so much? Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang, on behalf of King Gaochang, I would like to ask you whether what this black-faced minister said represents the attitude of the Great Tang. This is how our surrounding countries are discriminated against in the eyes of the Great Tang. ?”

The Gaochang envoy raised the scepter in his hand and questioned.

Wei Zheng was so angry that his face turned black and red, but he endured it for a while and didn't argue with the Gaochang envoy, what is a black-faced minister?Are you deliberately insulting or out of courtesy?

Li Er on the dragon chair hesitated a little. Wei Zheng's words were the common voice of everyone, but it might be counterproductive to say it outright, so he needed to speak up to take over.

But Du Gou, who was behind Tang Jian, had already stood up: "Your Majesty, all envoys, what Master Wei said has no other meaning. In the Spring and Autumn Period, scholars went to study all over the world, and all expenses were shared by all countries. A time when there are hundreds of schools from all over the world and their knowledge is extraordinary.

Today, the culture of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty is like the sun in the sky. Although the surrounding countries have their own inheritance, they are not long enough and lacking in heritage, just like the stars, which are not very conspicuous under the scorching sun.

Therefore, today is different from the past, and it is feasible to open up the country to follow the example of the Spring and Autumn Period. It will have to wait until the culture of each country develops, so that everyone can participate in the grand event and make progress together.

At this time, it is just an excuse for you to send students to the Central Plains in disguise. This matter is not approved by the court, even the common people do not agree. "

Behind Du Gou, Tang Jian silently praised his change. Du Ruhui couldn't help but straighten his waist again when he looked at his son who was fighting with the Confucians.

Li Er saw that a difficult problem was solved by the Jedi counterattack of the younger generation, and he was even more delighted in his heart. He laughed and said, "Young Du Aiqing must have explained it clearly. Times have changed. Even if we want to emulate the Spring and Autumn Period, you must have the Spring and Autumn Period." strength, otherwise we will discuss it in another day.”
