Xia Hongsheng took Belus to mess around in Chang'an City all day long, and introduced the gang of gentlemen in Chang'an City to Belus. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Belus also intends to make friends, and his shots are extremely generous and bold, and he is also a guy with "all five poisons", and he can smell like these gentlemen, and he began to call him brother after a few times.

I went to see the Persian merchants in Chang'an, and all the Persian merchants in the eastern and western cities went to meet Belus that day, and they were very popular, and it seems that this Belus is really a Persian country that is more popular with the people.

If Belus, a prince who is quite popular with the Persians, can succeed to the throne, it will be more beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

At least at this stage, the Tang Dynasty needs a strong Persia.

Wang Xuance has his own views on this point.

"In the long run, it is not appropriate for Datang to dig too many benefits from Persia for the time being. Persia came to the court for the first time to meet Datang, and the first to ask Datang for help. If you ask for too much price at the first time, it will inevitably break off future relationships. But now the land of Persia needs a strong country that is friendly with the Tang Dynasty. It's like fishing in troubled waters, the land of Persia is this trip to troubled waters, Persia is clear, and the big food is turbid. The water is too clear to touch the fish, but if it is too turbid, you can't see where the fish are. At present, this beach is a little too turbid, which is not conducive to our Datang fishing. Therefore, we need to support Persia, win over Persia, and let Persia compete with the Great Food, and no one can help anyone, and they will stalemate and fight with each other. In this way, we Datang can always profit from it. ”

"What Lord Wang said is very true." The cadres of Honglu Temple listened to Wang Xuance's words, and one of them nodded and said: "It's just that we can negotiate with the Persians, at least we can't let the Tang Dynasty suffer!" It's really hard for us to grasp where this degree is. What should be mentioned, what should be wanted, what should not be mentioned, and what should not be wanted, please let Lord Wang have a clear explanation. ”

Wang Xuance shook his head: "This, for the time being, I can't say it clearly." It depends on the letter that Xia Gong got from His Majesty. However, there are a few things that need to be clarified before the negotiation, and you still need to be taught. The first is that Datang will never send troops. No matter what conditions Persia offers, no one can let go of this. ”

Everyone nodded, and couldn't help laughing: "Lord Wang, even if we loosen our mouths, isn't it also a white loose-mouthed?" Could it be that if we agreed to him, Datang will really be able to send troops, how can we say it. ”

"Yes, but we can't tell the truth. After all, we're doing thankless work. Wang Xuance smiled bitterly and sighed: "I dare to make a bet with you, when the time comes, we will win benefits for the Tang Dynasty from Persia, and there will still be people who impeach us for the sake of the word, which will damage the majesty of the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain." ”

"Well, that's right." Another person sighed: "Back then, our Honglu Temple negotiated with Xue Yantuo and sold the returned old-fashioned weapons to Xue Yantuo, which earned a lot of money for Datang, but there are still officials who play Your Majesty, saying that we ignore the righteousness of the sect master, damage the reputation of Datang, and violate the teachings of the sage." ”

"Lord Wang, this is the first point, what about the others?" The people from Honglu Temple asked again.

"Persia is extremely wealthy, and Datang makes oil for gasoline, copper ore for copper coins, and the best war horses, all of which are urgently needed by Datang. And the men of the Persian mission are generous, and they will definitely visit you when the time comes, and I am afraid that they will do more than all the envoys you have seen before combined. You must hold on! Wang Xuance smiled again.

Regardless of the fact that Wang Xuance and the people in the Honglu Temple discussed the content of the negotiation together.

Xia Hongsheng's side was waiting for Li Shimin's appearance in the imperial garden with Belus.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Prince, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the reception of envoys has always been at the court meeting. That is, His Majesty met the envoy of which country in private, and he also summoned him from the Quartet Pavilion into the palace to play the right, all in the palace. You are the first one who can leave behind after His Majesty retires from the court. You are the first one who can enter this imperial garden to meet Your Majesty. Xia Hongsheng sat at the stone table with Belus, only listening to Xia Hongsheng.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been kind, Xiao Wang is in the Sifang Pavilion, and he has already heard that he can only wait for seven days to be able to meet, and Xiao Wang is also the first." Belus replied with a smile: "This proves that Xiao Wang's idea of coming to Datang to ask for help is correct!" ”

At the court meeting, Li Shimin officially received Belus and the Persian mission, and the gifts brought by the Persian mission, after Wang De read it, really made the courtiers gasp and be quite shocked. It also made the envoys of other countries secretly red, and there was a little resentment in the eyes of the Persian missions.

There are 10,000 purebred BMWs alone, and there are thousands of horse wranglers who are proficient in horse breeding and taming. Not to mention everything else.

Moreover, Persia is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and it also comes to worship and pay homage, and the political significance brought by this alone is enough to make Li Shimin excited. In the far west of Persia, we have known him in the far west since ancient times, but what is the generation that can make Persia come to pay tribute?!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Shimin was so excited that he wanted to stand up from the throne.

After the court meeting, Li Shimin left Belus and Xia Hongsheng, and asked Xia Hongsheng to take Belus to the imperial garden to wait, and he wanted to discuss with the Persian prince in detail.

"Holy Saint! ......" Wang De's voice came from outside.

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly got up, walked out of the pavilion, and went outside to greet him. Belus hurriedly followed.

The two greeted them outside the courtyard and saw Li Shimin coming over, so they immediately went up to salute.

After some courtesy, the three of them returned to the pavilion, waited for Li Shimin to sit down, and asked both of them to sit down.

"Persia is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and I am very pleased to be able to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty, and the prince personally led an embassy to Chang'an." Li Shimin said to Belus: "I have heard the name of Persia for a long time, and today I saw the prince, and he is indeed a heroic and talented. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!" Belus saluted and replied: "The minister has long heard of the strong Tang Dynasty and the prestige of His Majesty, and after arriving in Chang'an, he saw the prosperity of Shengjing, which is rare in the world. Today I finally paid tribute to Your Majesty, which is really a blessing for the ministers and a blessing for Persia! ”

Li Shimin's face was overjoyed, and he was very happy with the word "minister" that Belus called himself.

"Although I have never been to Persia or seen Persia, from the mouths of many Persian merchants in Chang'an, I have also learned a lot about the prosperity of Persia, knowing that Persia is as long and ancient as the Tang Dynasty, and that Persia is also a prosperous country like the Tang Dynasty. Later, I heard from the merchants who came and went that there was a great food in the west of Persia and had repeatedly invaded Persia. This reminds me that in the past, there was also a Turk next to Datang, and he also repeatedly invaded Datang, and I couldn't help but feel sympathy. Therefore, Wang Xuance was sent to take a look for me. Li Shimin asked, "I wonder what is happening in Persia?" ”
