1157. Swear to return with Champa Rice

After they were seated, Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask, "Maoyue, what is the relationship between Datang and Linyi?" ”

Tang Jian's face was slightly surprised when he saw this, what is the situation, why is His Majesty a little anxious, and immediately said busily: "Linyi is my Tang Dynasty vassal country, and I pay tribute every year. The lord of Lin Yi is very respectful, he is originally of Han descent, and he is close to Zhongyuan, and he is even closer to Datang."

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, he had the impression that the royal family inherited by Linyi for hundreds of years is a descendant of the Han family, no matter how the dynasty changes in the Central Plains, Linyi State is actively attached to the tribute, and immediately said: "Is there anyone in Honglu Temple who is familiar with Linyi?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Jian smiled and said straightly: "Yes."

"Who? Let him see me quickly." Li Shimin couldn't wait when he heard that there were people in Honglu Temple who were familiar with Lin Yiguo.

"Your Majesty has also seen this person, it is Wang Xuance." Tang Jian was also smiling, "Wang Xuance has been to Tianzhu and passed through Bi Kingdom, Zhenla, Linyi and other countries along the way."

Li Pojun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly said in his heart: Wang Xuance is lucky. Last time, after he reminded, the imperial court has been ready to start the layout of Xue Yantuo, this time the envoy of Xue Yantuo also came, the Ministry of Rites is planning to send an envoy and Xue Yantuo envoy to go back to the Xue Yantuo tribe together, canonize the two sons of Yinan Khan as the two little khans of the east and west, Wang Xuance contributed a lot to this canonization, and he can be rewarded for his meritorious deeds only afterwards.

Li Shimin was also surprised when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Wang Xuance has such ability? Haha, good, good, there are many talents in the Tang Dynasty, why don't you worry, come here, go to Honglu Temple and call Wang Qing quickly."

After saying that, Li Shimin asked Li Pojun to tell the two of them about the occupation of the city, and Tang Duan and the two of them were shocked and surprised when they heard it.

"God bless the Tang Dynasty, God bless the Tang Dynasty, if you find the Zhancheng rice that His Highness said, then ...... That's no less than the merit of Shennong's grain sowing." Huan is as personable as Tang Jian, and he also clapped his hands in a daze.

"The luck of the Tang Dynasty, the luck of Li Min" Duan Lun on the side also sighed.

After a while, Wang Xuance came with a confused face, and after understanding the cause and effect, he was also very excited, and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, Zhancheng rice ministers have eaten when they passed through Linyi, and the taste is no different from the Central Plains rice, and I also know that there are many kinds of this rice in the local area, but I don't know that its habits are so good, it is really a sin, and the minister asks for orders to go to Linyi, and he is bound to bring back the Zhancheng rice seeds, and vow to return to the Tang Dynasty with the Zhancheng rice."

Wang Xuance is more than seven feet tall, with a proud posture, a righteous face, a categorical speech, and a great spirit, and the people present are also amazed when they see Wang Xuance's bearing.

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, and got up with a slap on the desk, "Okay, Wang Qing has the courage, I am right, I wish Wang Qing a successful return, and I should set up a banquet to welcome him at the gate of Chengtian." After saying that, he looked at Tang Jian, "Maoyu, do you still need Wang Qing to plan Xue Yantuo's affairs?" ”

Planning Xue Yantuo is also the top priority, negligence must not be, if Wang Xuance is needed at both ends, then he can only take one of them.

Tang Jian smiled, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the matter of Xue Delay Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites have been agreed, and Wang Lushi's errand has been completed." Tang Jian naturally won't be here to card Wang Xuance, he is as spicy as him, and he has long understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values Wang Xuance very much, and Wang Xuance is also a person he admires, and the relationship is very close.

"Very good, Wang Qing, then you will choose your own day to set off, I wish Qing a smooth day." Li Shimin walked down from the palace, patted Wang Xuance's hand and said solemnly, his eyes were full of trust and expectation.

Wang Xuance was greatly excited, and bowed in a hurry: "The minister will not disgrace his life, and swear to return with Zhancheng Rice." This is to make a military order, vowing to return with Zhancheng Rice, Wang Xuance said twice, that is to say, if he did not find Zhancheng Rice, he just didn't come back, and died in a foreign country.

Li Shimin shook his head when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Although the rice that occupies the city is important, Ranqing must not be lost."

Wang Xuance's eyes flashed when he heard this, as if there were tears, he nodded solemnly, without saying a word, tidied up his clothes, saluted solemnly, and turned to leave. Thinking that he Wang Xuance is just a nine-grade record, he doesn't even have the qualifications to go to the Taiji Palace, and the emperor actually values him so much, the king treats me as a countryman, and repays him as a countryman.

And since he was going to fetch rice seeds, he must have gone in secret, Wang Xuance could only go in his personal capacity, and he did not have the protection of the official identity of the imperial court, nor did he get any help from the government along the way.

The body is straight, the clothes are fluttering, this goes, the water and land travel thousands of miles, the poisonous insects and beasts between the mountains and mountains block the way, the waves in the vast sea, the slightest carelessness, is the body died in the wilderness, the soul is scattered in a foreign land, and never return, but if you don't go back, you won't go back, as long as you bring back the Zhancheng rice, it is a great merit for the benefit of all the people and thousands of generations.

As long as he brings back the Zhancheng rice and opens up the road to Lingnan and Nanyang, then he will go down in history, although he is not as good as Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, who has dug through the Western Regions, and the Marquis Banchao of Dingyuan, who pacified the Western Regions, but he is also the husband who is admired by everyone.

"What a good man", looking at Wang Xuance's resolute back, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

You must know that it is not easy to travel far away in this era, especially to Linyi, a foreign country thousands of miles away, not to mention trekking all the way through the mountains and rivers, and if you don't go from the endless mountains in the southwest, you can only cross the sea from Qinzhou to Linyi, all the way is dangerous, enough to scare off many people.

Li Pojun thought about it, pulled the pen and paper on Li Shiminlong's case, and wrote two letters in the stunned eyes of Tang Duan and several people.

Then he said to Li Shimin: "Aye, I'll go out." After that, without waiting for Li Shimin's reaction, he hurriedly chased him out, and Tang Duan and the others were stunned.

Li Pojun walked out of the Ganlu Palace, looked around, but did not see Wang Xuance's figure, only to see the new Youwu Marquis General Ashina Simo personally leading the team to inspect the palace defense, Li Pojun stepped forward quickly, and asked directly: "General Simo, can you see a young civil official wearing a nine-grade light green official robe?" ”

"Ah, the minister has seen His Highness, and there is indeed a young civil official, who just went to the right Yanming Gate." Ashina Simo was stunned by Li Pojun's sudden pop-up, and said busily.

"Well, let's borrow a horse." Li Pojun smiled when he heard this, turned over and patted the horse in Ashina Simo's hand.

After passing through the Liangyi Palace, Taiji Palace, and out of the right Yanming Gate, you can see Wang Xuance walking briskly in front.

"Brother Xuance, wait a minute", Li Pojun shouted, and slapped his horse to catch up.

"The minister Wang Xuance has seen His Royal Highness" Wang Xuance was taken aback by Li Pojun, and he was busy bowing and saluting, his face full of puzzlement.
