In the palace, Li Er summoned Tang Jian, the secretary of Honglu Temple.

"What have been the recent movements of the envoys of various countries? Three days later, there will be a big pilgrimage, and then these people will go to the court to ask for a meeting, so you have to arrange it well. ”

Tang Jian was a little worried: "After these envoys arrived in Chang'an, they were generally doing two things, one was to test the reality of Zhongnan Academy, and the other was to unite with each other.

I heard that Goguryeo, who was the first to strike, was killed in public by 200 guards at the main gate of Jungnam Academy, and later Khitan, Jianya, Tuyuhun, Gaochang and other countries all went to the academy, but they were more or less damaged.

Your Majesty, these countries have suffered losses, and they think that they will unite to deal with the academy, and the minister is a little worried. ”

Li Er was also frowning, but out of trust in Bai Fan, he comforted Tang Jian and said, "It's okay, Zhongnan Academy is the holy land of the Tang Academy, and I will issue a decree to grant privileges."

Besides, the academy announcement was in front, and the people who came were rude, and a group of barbarians were killed if they were killed.

On my desk, there is also a letter from the Goguryeo envoy denouncing this matter, so what? Now it's different from the past, and they can only roar and roar.

Continue to pay attention to the envoys of various countries, Datang only provides accommodation, if the other party is rude and cannot disturb Chang'an, Chang'an has its own Datang law, your Honglu Temple is not their logistics force, do you understand? ”

Tang Jian got up and performed a military etiquette, "The old minister has an order!" The thieves conspired to oppress my Datang, and we won't be soft if the comers are not good! ”

On the side of Honglu Temple, Tubo Daxiang Lu Dongzan took people out of the guest house and came to the prestigious entertainment city of Chang'an City.

Looking at the bustling streets in front of him, Lu Dongzan not only sighed at the strength of the Central Plains, but also had a strong sense of jealousy.

Shaking his head, he was not in the mood to taste food and wine, but came to the Grand Theater of the Entertainment City under the guidance of the guards.

spent double the price, Lu Dongzan purchased a box, chartered a whole day of programs and food, the staff of the Grand Theater can be seen more, this is an alien bun, I have never seen the world, I have to watch a full play.

But no one knew that this shrewd little old man, dressed as a subordinate in the box, quietly slipped out of the grand theater, came to the back door of a small house in Chang'an, and quietly disappeared in.

"Lord Lin, this is a precious jewel from the distant Tianzhu Kingdom, and I want to entrust you with a small matter today." Lu Dongzan took out an extremely bright gem and came out.

Standing opposite Lu Dongzan was a middle-aged official with a thin face, who frowned slightly at this time, shook his head and said: "The Great Minister is embarrassing me, all countries have come to Datang to compete in Zhongnan Academy this time, and the Tang Dynasty court knows it."

That Lantian Hou Baifan is even more of an example of killing chickens and monkeys, before Xu Youliang of Honglu Temple recommended a Goguryeo man because of greed for money, and was exterminated by his family, Lin knew that he was weak, so he didn't dare to commit this taboo. ”

Lu Dongzan shook his head and smiled: "Lord Lin misunderstood, I didn't come to Zhongnan Academy to find you, it was just some trivial things, not because I lost my life."

I heard that Lord Lin has been the right and left hand of the Ministry of Industry for many years, and you know everything about the Ministry of Industry. ”

It turned out that this person was Lin Xueqing, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo came to Datang to study without being in a hurry, so he actually found someone from the Ministry of Industry first?

"Learning the culture of 100 craftsmen? Why is that? The Ministry of Engineering is only in charge of manufacturing, if you want to learn these, it is still the most suitable Zhongnan Academy. Lin Xueqing was puzzled.

Lu Dongzan's eyes were deep, and he said in a low voice: "Tubo is bitter and cold, I just want to learn some small methods of iron refining." ”

"Ironsmith? Wouldn't it be okay for you to hire a blacksmith?

No, do you want 100 steel? ”

Lin Xueqing is a spirit, what is 100 steel? Datang military steel, absolutely secret, after the improvement of Lantian Hou, has greatly enhanced the output and quality, but also by Lantian Hou Shangshu listed as top secret, can not be leaked to the outside world, at this time Tubo to find himself is definitely not a simple iron.

Lu Dongzan nodded, "That's right, Lord Lin is really a character, this is what he is, and I hope you can help." ”

"No, 100 steels are the top secret of the Tang Dynasty, and the leaker will kill the three clans!" Lin Xueqing sternly refused.

"Three clans? Do you still have three tribes? Master Lee?

The Li family in Longxi has been slaughtered by Lao Gen, your Li family's orthodox surname is Lin, have you forgotten your ancestors? Lu Dongzan scoffed.

"You...... How do you know? ”

Lin Xueqing was afraid, the court didn't know about this, and an outsider of different races on the other side blurted out, saying this, there must be a master behind him.

It turned out that Lin Xueqing was originally a descendant of the orthodox side branch of the Li family in Longxi, and he was lost at the age of three and was picked up by the head of the Lin family in Luoyang, and the head of the Lin family had no heir, claiming that he was the son of the Lin family, until he entered the court at the age of twenty-five, and was found by a senior official of the Li family in Longxi, but he did not make a noise, and was faintly promoted all the way to help him take root in the Ministry of Industry.

"How do I know you're guessing?

Remind you, you didn't help me for money, you helped me in fact to avenge your family.

It's okay if you don't help me, someone from the Li family in Longxi is an official to the Ministry of Industry, and at this time, how long do you think you still have to go? "Lu Dongzan Zhizhu is in his hand, with this bargaining chip, he is not afraid that the other party will not comply.

It took a day of preparation to finally win this important person, and in the end, Lu Dongzan still pretended to be a little guy and easily returned to the box of the Grand Theater.

As an old fox for many years, some people in Honglu Temple and the Tang Dynasty are staring at their group of envoys, and they don't need to think about Lu Dongzan to make it clear.

Ten days after coming to the Tang Dynasty, this Tubo minister wandered around like this, often a day of strolling, no one knew that people had used various means to negotiate seven deals, when everyone focused on Zhongnan Academy, Tubo had begun to make profits secretly.

Three days later, at the Tang Dynasty meeting, the envoys of various countries met in turn, expressing their desire to learn and emulate the culture of the Central Plains and to send students to study.

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 steppe, but it does not have the domineering power that everyone imagined, but it is a pro-Tang faction, just see what their envoys say.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I, the Western Turk Mohelu Khan, have sent me to bring the most cordial greetings to you and the princes of the Tang Dynasty.

The Western Turks have always admired the culture of the Central Plains, the wool trade is our first exchange, the cooperation between the two sides is happy, 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 our Great Khan knows that the steppe people are rude and do not know the number of etiquette, and they have the heart to study the Zhongnan Academy, the first academy in the world, but they are afraid that they will not meet the standards, so when they come, the Great Khan explained, if they can't enroll, then let the six princes worship the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty as their father-in-law, and stay in the Tang Dynasty to learn etiquette, please give me your permission. ”

The words of the Western Turkic envoy are shocking, this product is too shameless, right, people don't accept it and think it's a son to paste it upside down? Are you the overlords of the steppe? Not a vassal of a small country.

Li Er was overjoyed, it seemed that under the power of the Tang Dynasty, there were still people who knew the times, so he got up and laughed and said: "The Western Turks are full of sincerity, as the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty, I will personally accept your six princes as righteous sons, and I must treat them as parents and children." ”
