Chapter 569: Making Trouble (Part II)
"We welcome the envoy of the Tang Dynasty!" No matter what kind of thoughts these chaotic Hu people in the Western Regions had in their hearts, after seeing Li Daozong, Wang Xuance and Yu Chi Baolin, they still humbly bent their waists.
The three people from Datang have seen a lot of this kind of scene, and they are not stage frightened, and Li Daozong, who is the leader, raised his hand slightly: "You don't have to be polite, we are guests from afar, and it is already a great honor for the lord of Gaochang to invite him to participate in this meeting. ”
"Deserved, deserved." The negotiators of the countries said humbly, as for what they thought in their hearts, it was another matter.
The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and the population is far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty, as long as you occupy an oasis here, and there are hundreds of warriors under your command, it is common to establish a country, and the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are actually almost like this.
Therefore, don't look at the people who shout loudly, what envoys, what lords, in fact, it is possible that the land area is not as large as a county town in Datang, and the entire country may have a total of three or four, and the people are only a few hundred, and the soldiers are only dozens.
In such a situation, if you want Li Daozong and others to treat each other with courtesy equally, it is completely a fool's dream, and you can even answer them, it is already for the sake of them to provide food for Datang in the future.
Prime Minister Gao Chang was also greeting him, and when he saw that he had greeted each other, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Respected envoy of the Tang Dynasty, it is windy here, how about you please follow us into the palace to talk?" ”
"The prime minister is polite, please lead the way first." This time it was Wang Xuance who was speaking.
Although the broken place of Gaochang is larger than the average Western Regions country, it is also limited, at best, it is the size of a mansion in the Tang Dynasty.
If calculated in terms of the number of people under management and the region, the status of the lord of Gaochang is about the same as that of the assassin of a state in the Tang Dynasty, so it is just right for Wang Xuance to answer at this time, if it is Li Daozong...... It seems that this face is a bit too much.
Following behind Gao Chang Chengxiang, the group walked to the inside of the royal city, listening to the gibberish language behind them, Li Daozong turned his head and glanced at Yu Chi Baolin, and there was a faint trace of remorse in his heart.
This bastard seems to have been in the Western Regions for too long, and he has developed a horse thief style, not at all like a Tang general, so he shouldn't have been brought here if he knew it earlier.
After a short walk, a group of people entered the palace of the king of Gaochang, but they saw that the palace was decorated magnificently at this time, and the golden light shining everywhere looked dazzling.
"Upstart!" Yu Chi Baolin muttered in a low voice, but it may be because of the different standards of each person's 'low voice', his low voice can be heard by almost half of the palace.
"Pauline must not be rude." Li Daozong turned his head angrily and reprimanded, and then smiled apologetically at Prime Minister Gao Chang, whose face had turned red, and didn't say anything more, in fact, the thoughts in his heart were the same as those of Yu Chi Baolin, but he couldn't say it because of his identity.
After a while, everyone sat down in their places under the guidance of the maid, and a meeting could start just waiting for Ju Wentai's old goods to arrive.
And Ju Wentai's old goods seem to have changed their temper today, and after about a while, they didn't even appear, and they couldn't help but frown at the crowd, feeling that this shelf seemed to be a little big.
The so-called don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, these countries in the Western Regions who came today may not be as good as Gaochang in terms of strength, but isn't there still a Tang envoy, is this Ju Wentai so arrogant that he doesn't even give face to the Tang Dynasty?
However, everyone misunderstood Lao Ju in the matter, in fact, this old man had already come, and the time was when Yu Chi Baolin said the nouveau riche.
However, Bao Lin didn't know how to restrain himself at the time, and his voice was a little loud, and the people in the palace could hear it, and Ju Wentai naturally heard it, but this old man was so angry that he almost didn't come up and suffocated himself in one breath.
The lord of the country naturally needs to take care of it, so Lao Ju, who was already about to show up, retreated again, found a room and smashed all the things inside, only to calm down a little, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the apse.
After Ju Wentai appeared, everyone in the palace immediately divided into three, six, nine and so on, some made big salutes and some made simple salutes.
As for Li Daozong and his entourage, there is nothing to say, they were sent by the Tang Dynasty, representing His Majesty Li Er, the Heavenly Khan, so they didn't need to be courteous, they just stayed where they were, and waited for Ju Wentai's old goods to come over to pay respects.
Lao Ju's old face changed several times in a very short period of time, and when he received the salute from the envoys of the Western Regions, it was radiant, and when he gave Li Daozong and others a salute, he immediately felt like a mourner, and felt a burst of heat on his face.
Fortunately, he is also the king of a country, and now he has to salute a group of Tang turtles first, which is simply a great shame, Ju Wentai thought about it, and the expression on his face unconsciously brought out.
"Why, old boy, why are you still not satisfied with letting you salute? Can't you rebel? Yu Chi Baolin's ribs were stabbed by Wang Xuance without a trace, and he immediately reacted that he still had a task, and quickly withdrew his gaze from the gold and silver utensils around him, and glared at the little old man who only reached his chest through Li Daozong.
"Don't dare, don't dare, this general, the lord of the country has been in poor health these days, and he has had a crazy head attack from time to time, and his head must have started to hurt again just now, so he has a little gaffe, please forgive the envoy." Prime Minister Gao Chang scolded Ju Wentai, the ancestor of the old goods, for seven or eight times in his heart, but he had to step forward to relieve him.
You must know that Datang is not a reasonable country now, if you really offend these Tang envoys and make them feel that they have no face, or that the Tang Emperor has no face, the 10,000 soldiers outside the city don't even need to go to the morning and evening, and they can directly destroy Gaochang.
Ju Wentai's face turned red, and he felt that his whole face was hot.
was reprimanded so by a young man who was twenty years old, if it weren't for the prime minister pulling him to death, if it weren't for the fear of being wiped out by the Tang army outside the city, he would have been hacked to death a long time ago.
Fortunately, Li Daozong still gave him a little face, and glared back at Wei Chi Baolin: "Baolin is talking nonsense, if you dare to say more, you will go back to Datang for me." ”
After speaking, he looked at Ju Wentai again: "Don't be surprised, this is the eldest son of General Wei Chi Gong, the general of my Zuowu Houwei, Wei Chi Baolin, now 'Fang' is the deputy captain of the Zhengwupin, and he is also a man who came out of the sea of blood in the Turkic corpse mountain back then, and he can't rub the slightest sand in his eyes, and he can't tolerate anyone to be disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." ”
