Chapter 136: The Heart Longs for It
Thinking of this, Li Yi said with interest: "I didn't expect Lord Cishuang to travel to the Tang Dynasty to study in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of experience is really amazing!" ”
Li Yi has admired the Tang Dynasty since he was a child, but he was born decades later and could not experience the majestic Tang Dynasty, and he has great regrets in his heart. It is really precious that Lord Cishuang has this opportunity! ”
Xun Zaluo smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, it was more than thirty years ago. At that time, I was only twelve or thirteen years old, because my family has been a noble family of Nanzhao for generations, and I was still smart and studious since I was a child, and I was famous among my peers, so I was selected by the king of Nanzhao to study in Chang'an. ”
"I didn't expect that this was ten years, and when I came back, it was already a matter of fact, and the Nanzhao at that time had been replaced by the Zheng family's great Changhe, and I had to do a humble official in the Great Changhe, living a dull life with nothing to do. It wasn't until the establishment of our Great Righteous Kingdom that I took up the post of Tokyo Cishuang until now. ”
Li Yi was about to interject to praise him a few words, but he didn't expect him to say with emotion: "It's really nothing to say that my experience is like this, and the experience of His Royal Highness the son of my family is much richer." ”
"Dashuai also knows that our lord was originally a Han Chinese, and he was exiled to Yunnan because of fate."
"Because of his admiration for the culture of the Central Plains, His Royal Highness was sent to Chengdu by the lord of the country when he was seven years old to live in a friend's house.
"After Li Dashuai meets His Royal Highness, I think that you have good talents and similar interests, and you will definitely have a sense of sympathy for each other, and maybe you are likely to become confidants and friends! Ha ha! Ha ha! ”
Hearing this, Li Yi really yearned for it.
The history since the Nanzhao has been studied a lot recently, and they have adhered to the Tang Dynasty system and established a complete set of laws and regulations.
Politically, economically, militarily and culturally, there is almost no difference from the Tang Dynasty, the only difference is the official name.
Da Changhe only existed for four short years after replacing Nanzhao, and Da Yining replaced Da Changhe for only seven years.
From the end of Nanzhao to Dachanghe, and then to Dayining, the actual power of these three countries before and after was actually controlled by the Han people, so Dayining is not only the comprehensive inheritor of Nanzhao's cultural tradition, but also one of the countries most influenced by Tang culture.
Although the rules and regulations of the Southern Han Dynasty were all adopted from the Tang Dynasty, due to the collision and integration with the southern clan culture, the cultural heritage was not as profound as that of Dayi Ningguo.
In fact, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the Han Dynasty and the Great Righteous Ningguo, although the historical mission of the Great Righteous Ningguo will soon come to an end, but if you can meet a friend with similar interests, it can be regarded as a good harvest.
Thinking of this, Li Yi has some good feelings about Dayi Ningguo.
Next, everyone talked about the world and staggered, and put the morning agreement behind them, and everyone drank a ** point until Xun Zaro couldn't hold it anymore, and we discussed the time and itinerary of the visit.
Because of the conversation, Li Yi had a little good impression of Yang Huaiying, so he no longer hesitated, and the schedule of departure was advanced.
The two sides agreed that at the next hour of tomorrow, everyone would set off after the Xuanfu embassy meeting. As for the details of other aspects, Xun Zaro was already drunk and dizzy, how could he have a chance to discuss it again.
Li Yi had no choice but to send him back to the post house to rest.
This foreign visit was Li Yi's first time since he took office as the Xuanfu envoy, so he didn't know what etiquette he had to pay attention to in these years, so he had to leave everything to Lin Yi to arrange.
Lin Yi, as the most trusted person of my Li Yi, although he also wants to take him with him to help him take care of all his affairs, but he still needs to deal with all the affairs in Yunnan, and others are really not at ease.
Therefore, Lin Yi recommended his classmate, who was able to speak well and was familiar with the affairs of Dayi Ningguo, to join the army Xiao Hui and accompany Li Yi to Dayi Ningguo.
In addition, Guo Zhun of the Imperial Palace, Qiu Feng, and 180 sturdy and well-trained soldiers also went with him.
In terms of personal guards, Lian Jun is indispensable, the Wei Jing who has just been released from prison, although Lin Yi doesn't want him to go with Li Yi, for fear that he will be unfavorable to him.
But Li Yi still wanted to observe his actions up close, so at his insistence, Wei Jing was finally included in the list of visits.
This visit took away more than half of the personal soldiers of the Xuanfu Embassy at once, and the rest was handed over to Le Meng, Nanfang, and Guo Xiaoshuang to lead, responsible for the safety of the entire yamen and the back house.
This visit to Dayi Ningguo is logically an extremely grand event, and it is essential to prepare some gifts.
The people of Dayining are rich in products and strong financial resources, so there is no shortage of anything. But this return visit of Thanksgiving can't be done with empty paws! But what is the best gift?
Li Yi thought about it, and finally decided, don't think about it, isn't there a ready-made tiger skin left by Sun Decheng in the treasury!
This thing is also a rare thing, just pick two good white tiger skins and send them, and it will save more money.
In addition, I heard that Dayi Ningguo is extremely short of silk things, and I also have it here, and the treasury is piled up, and they are all about to grow hair, so Li Yi asked people to select six hundred good silk silk satin, which is still in the past, and the rest is not to be discussed.
Early the next morning, after explaining the affairs of Yunnan to Lin Yi, He Shoujie and others, they gathered to find Zaluo and his entourage, drove ten carts full of gifts, and a group of more than 200 horses, and marched towards the direction of Dayi Ningguo.
After leaving Ningzhou, it was probably less than two hours before the team left the boundary of Yunnan and set foot on the land of Dayi Ningguo.
Along the flat and wide official road, through the mountains and hills, after leaving the Pingyang Pass outpost, he came to the front of the Songyang Pass in the Great Yi Ning Kingdom.
The soldiers guarding the pass had already been instructed, and as soon as they saw the arrival of the Han Yunnan brigade, they immediately respectfully opened and closed the way, and diligently sent them to the pass, and sent scouts to quickly rush to Shanxian Mansion to report.
After Songyang Pass, walk about a hundred miles to reach Shanxian Mansion, on this road, there is no important pass and county seat, along the way except for the hills is the mountain forest, in this season that indicates the harvest, the pastoral scenery is more beautiful and charming.
Li Yi enjoyed the pleasant scenery around him with relish along the way, and also observed the nearby terrain by the way.
As I was walking, I suddenly found that on the hills on both sides of the road, the mountains and rocks that appeared from time to time were quite uncomfortable under the dazzling light of the autumn sun.
