Chapter 176: Multinational Envoys
On April 13 of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, this is a slight spring breeze and bright sunshine. Fang Yiai was wearing a decent bright silver armor and stood next to the Suzaku Gate, and there were several princes and disciples of the merry party standing beside him, not to mention the prince Li Chengqian, who was already quite handsome, but his legs and feet were not good. As for that King Wu, Fang Yiai really couldn't stand it, on such a grand occasion, this Li Ke was still holding his wind-scratching fan. It's not summer yet, is it so hot?
Fang Yi's love is very unhappy, isn't it just that foreign envoys enter Beijing, do you need to let them come out to greet the juniors, and they have to dress so formally, in this spring flower, put on a strict armor, how stupid to look at.
"Really, isn't it just a bunch of barbarians, isn't it enough to have so many ministers, why do you still let us stand here as door gods?" Cheng Chumo took off his helmet and quickly wiped his sweat, and quickly put it on again, he had never been so formal during the war.
"Brother Chu Mo, bear with me, we are sympathetic to each other!" Fang Yiai pointed to the armor on his body, and then pointed to Li Ke and Li Chengqian, the brothers in front of him, and made a sad expression helplessly.
"Brother Jun, I haven't asked you yet, you tell me the truth, what are you going to do with my family Ling'er, don't perfunctory me, otherwise this brother won't have to do it!" Cheng Chumo glared at the bull's eye and said very seriously.
"Huh! Brother Chu Mo, let's talk about this at another time, okay? ”
"No, you have to answer now!"
"Brother Chumo, then I'll tell you the truth, you are clear about me and Changle, to put it bluntly, it is impossible for me to give up Changle, for Ling'er, I can only say I'm sorry, because you and I both understand that with the temper of your ancestors, it is impossible to let Ling'er marry me as a wife!" Fang Yiai also felt that she couldn't stand Cheng Ling'er, no matter how she said that a big girl's family had been with him for so long.
"Hey, it's evil, if Changle wasn't Li'er, or Li'er wasn't a princess, it would be great, and it would save you a lot of brains, you don't know, my father hasn't been nagging me a lot lately, and he really plans to tie you up!" Cheng Chumo shook his head and said with a depressed face.
"I said Brother Chumo, you won't really listen to your ancestors and tie me up, right?" Fang Yiai tilted his head and said a little scared.
"I can't help but listen to my father, right?"
"I said you two, pay attention to your image, what kind of system you are talking about, you are all standing, don't embarrass our Tang Xungui!" Li Ke turned his face at this time and said seriously.
Fang Yiai and Cheng Chumo pursed their lips at the same time, and also gave Li Ke a middle finger.
Li Chengqian also saw Fang Yiai and Cheng Chumo's gestures at this time, but he didn't pay much attention to it, just turned his head and smiled, "Fang Jun, I heard everything you said, I can tell you, their old Cheng family is not easy to deal with, and our Li family is not easy to bully, if you dare to hurt Changle, I will not let you go." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, Fang Jun knows what to do!" Fang Yiai can be regarded as experiencing the feeling of being angry on both sides, there are a lot of sons who bite Jin this time, and Li Shimin's sons are even more, and he is the weakest in strength.
"Brother Huang, I don't know which envoys are there this time? Father made it so grand? Li Tai, who was next to Li Ke, waved his chubby meat hand and asked impatiently.
"Turkic, Tibetan, Tiele, Goryeo, and Yuben, there are a lot of them, and I heard that even the Xiangxiong Kingdom has sent people!" Li Chengqian thought about it and replied with a smile.
"So much?" Li Tai frowned, this Tubo sent someone to talk about the past, what is going on with this Turk?
Fang Yiai is also a doubt, there are so many people here, it seems that this time it is fun to see.
The envoys from many countries finally came, and Fang Yiai looked listlessly at the foreigners who walked over, and he had seen a lot of foreigners in his previous life, so he was not as surprised as Cheng Chumo when he saw those curly-haired Persians and big cannibals. After a while, Fang Yiai's eyes finally opened a little, and he actually saw a few acquaintances, Tuoba Chici, the leader of the Eight Clans of the Party, and his daughter Tuoba Xiyue. Fang Yiai was a little confused, why did they come too, why didn't they hear Tuoba capture the tiger say?
The envoys of many countries must have entered the Xuanzheng Palace, and Fang Yiai also entrusted Li Chengqian's blessing this time, and followed a group of princes and sons into the Xuanzheng Palace, but the identity of entering was a little embarrassing, and he was not a general, but a guard.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, is it okay to take me in?"
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said with a very kind smile, "It's okay, there are so many people today, no one will notice you!" ”
"Hehe, then thank you, Your Highness!"
"Okay, don't talk about that, you just need to be good to Changle!"
Li Chengqian limped forward, Fang Yiai looked at his swaying body, and suddenly felt that Li Chengqian was actually quite good, kind to people, and capable of doing things, doing things informally, if it weren't for the disability of his feet, he would really be a good material to be an emperor. I'm afraid that he became more and more ridiculous later, also because of the injury on his foot, and at that time, Empress Changsun also died, and there was no one to enlighten Li Chengqian.
"Brother De, in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good!"
"Brother Jun, I agree with you when you say this, Brother Huang is really good, but it's a pity, hey!" Li Ke said and shook his head, his brother, he still knows a little, although he has a bright appearance, I'm afraid he feels uncomfortable in his heart. He Li Ke has a problem with his background, and the prince brother has a physical problem, so he really sympathizes with the disease.
"For Brother De, I think if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can go on normally, it will be a good thing for all of us!" Fang Yiai patted Li Ke on the shoulder, he didn't say much, but he believed that Li Ke could understand his words. For Li Tai, the king of Wei, Fang Yiai always felt that this chubby prince was not sincere at all, not to mention Li Zhi, if his unassertive little boy became the emperor, then he Fang Yiai would inevitably be beheaded. When Li Shimin and Empress Changsun go, Li Zhi still has to listen to Changsun Wuji, and when the time comes, Changsun Wuji will charge the Fang family with rebellion, then his love will be protected by Changle, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get it.
"Hehe, Brother Jun, take some time to have a drink with your brother, why does your brother feel a little panicked?" Li Ke soon understood Fang Yiai's words, why didn't he want Li Chengqian to keep his position as the crown prince, he knew Li Tai too well, this guy was really not very open-minded, if he was allowed to be the prince, then it is estimated that after a hundred years of Li Shimin, he, the prince of care, would also be able to do it.
Li Ke and Fang Yiai spoke in a very small voice, and the people next to them didn't understand what they were muttering, but Li Su leaned his head and asked curiously, "Brother, what are you talking about?" ”
"It's nothing to do with you, don't get involved!" Li Ke pushed Li Su's head and said with a smile.
Li Su rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "The surname De, it is estimated that there is nothing good, what else can you and Brother Jun talk about?" It's not going to be a discussion about when to go to Xianmenglou, right? ”
"Nonsense, don't talk nonsense, you kid, let Changle know, I have to teach you a lesson!" Li Ke is very helpless about his younger brother, he is not a big boss, his ability is not good, and he has a lot of kung fu in fighting.
"Hehe, Sister Huang is very good to me!" Li Su clapped his hands, shook his head and walked away.
Fang Yiai squeezed his eyes at Li Ke, and expressed sympathy for Li Ke, it was really hard to have such a younger brother, especially if he was born in the emperor's family, if it weren't for Li Ke's presence, with Li Ke's temper, I am afraid that he would have been eight times out of ten.
Standing in the Xuanzheng Palace, Fang Yiai is like a stone man, trying to stand on his own post, these envoys are wordy enough, just give gifts, where did so much nonsense come from?
"Respected His Majesty Tian Khan, my subordinate Lu Dongzan is on the order of my great Zampu, and I specially present eight top-quality thousand-year-old snow ginseng and ten Dongzhu, wishing His Majesty Tian Khan a long life and a hundred years old!"
Li Shimin looked at Lu Dongzan, who was standing respectfully in the hall, and his heart was like smearing honey, this Tubo person really knows the current affairs, Li Shimin raised his hand and smiled softly, "Mr. Lu Dongzan has worked hard, I have accepted the gift!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Dongzan respectfully stepped aside, but Fang Yiai saw that Lu Dongzan always had a faint smile on his face, looking at him like that, things shouldn't be so simple.
After the Tibetan court, the Turks and Koreans also came forward one by one to offer their gifts. Looking at Li Shimin's smiling face, I have to say that His Majesty the Emperor really loves face, isn't it just a little gift, is it worth being happy like this? Especially the dozens of pearls sent by the Goryeo envoy, that thing can be raised by himself to raise hundreds of pearls, and the Goryeo people also take them out to show off.
Just when Fang Yi's love was secretly scolding the Goryeo people, he saw a big bearded and curly-haired cannibal enter the temple, stroke his chest with one hand, and say in a half-baked Chinese dialect, "The Arab envoy Ali Daei participated in the Heavenly Khan, and may Your Majesty shine forever in this magical place like the light that comes out." ”
Fang Yiai is not curious about this Alidaiyi, he is interested in the treasure he offered, this thing is estimated that few people in Datang know it, but Fang Yiai is so ripe that it can't be cooked, isn't this the sweet potato of later generations, this is a good thing.
Li Shimin looked at the three sweet potatoes on the plate, and with a question mark on his head, he asked suspiciously, "Messenger, may I ask what this is?" ”
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Khan, the ministers don't know what this is, this is what my clan got by chance when they were fighting, considering such a rare thing, I took it to His Majesty the Heavenly Khan!"
Ali Daei was also a bachelor, and quickly admitted his ignorance, but Fang Yiai knew that this guy was not lying, and it was really impossible for the natives of Arabia to know what this sweet potato was for.
"I see, the messenger is attentive!" Li Shimin nodded happily, although it was a bit of a pity that he didn't know what it was, but is it rare to be expensive, as long as the gift is expensive. It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't expect that Fang Yiai would grow a bunch of sweet potatoes in the future with these three broken sweet potatoes, if he knew, Li Shimin would definitely not be so happy.
