Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

At dawn the next day, Yu Wenqian took Yunshang and her female guards, and under the escort of a thousand Xichuan troops led by Dan Zhu, they slowly left the station and gathered at the gate of the north gate of Qunv City.

Guo Ye led Zhao Jiuchou to the gate of the city, and after admonishing Dan Zhu, he watched Yu Wenqian and his party leave Qunv City and head towards the Nivalo Kingdom.

The mighty team winding like a snake gradually disappeared from Guo Ye's sight.

At this moment, Zhao Jiuchou clung to Guo Ye's ear softly, and said as softly as a mosquito: "Brother, the Tianzhu foreign affairs official who monitored your whereabouts left in a hurry, and he should have returned to the palace to report to King Jieri."

The corner of Guo Ye's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "We Ming people don't do secret things, and we are not afraid of his surveillance. Besides, we have no way out, and we can only go forward to return to the southern border of the Tang Dynasty. Is it necessary to run away? Hehe, yes He has become a villain in vain."

After hearing this, Zhao Jiuchou grinned dryly, and his voice became a little louder: "That's right, he is not only a villain, but also a fool. We have nowhere to go to defeat Tianzhu, Haha, he really thought that the Great Tang Divine Soldiers came from the sky, and that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to help him subdue southern Tianzhu. Tsk tsk, the little brother is better at it, you sold the old thing King of Jieri, and he still helped you Counting the silver."

"Shh!"

Guo Ye looked around vigilantly, and then scolded softly: "Jiu Chou, don't be foolish, King Jie Ri has not only sent an eyeliner by my side. Don't let him see the clues before the dust of the plan falls to the ground. Otherwise, if this fellow turns his back on us, we will really be trapped in Qunv City by him."

Zhao Jiuchou cursed carelessly, and then heard Guo Ye chuckle and said: "It's all about talking, and I'm fooling around, but I, Guo Ye, can be regarded as worthy of him. The [-] Nipoluo Mountain Ghost Soldiers and the [-] Xichuan Army stayed behind. In Tianzhu, it is a fact that he conquered the three southern countries and unified Tianzhu. All in all, he has made a lot of money."

After hearing this, Zhao Jiuchou couldn't help frowning, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you really plan to let me, Danzhu, and three thousand Xichuan Army brothers stay in Tianzhu and work for him?"

After hearing this, Guo Ye cursed inwardly for negligence, and then hurriedly explained: "Jiu Chou, I forgot to tell you about this, I do intend to keep you in Tianzhu, but it's not entirely for King Jie Ri, I have Another purpose. Just listen to me."

"Brother, don't say anything." Zhao Jiuchou waved his hand very grandly, and said sonorously, "When did I, Zhao Jiuchou, disobey your will? Don't say that my brother asked us to stay in Tianzhu, it is my brother who went to Huangquan to recruit In the old department, the flags and banners are [-], and Zhao Jiuchou also swears to follow him to the death, absolutely unequivocal!"

"Grass, you're going to die or live, don't make it so sensational, okay?"

Guo Ye snorted, looked around again, and said: "Okay, this is not a place to talk, the eyes and ears of King Jieri may be hiding not far away, let's go back to the bamboo house of the post station first, and I will pay attention to it." Let me tell you in detail."

"middle!"

Zhao Jiuchou let out another clang, left the city gate together with Guo Ye, and returned to the bamboo house of the post house.

……

……

Post house bamboo house.

In order to prevent the conversation from being leaked, Guo Ye not only took the opportunity to screen away the Tianzhu guards around the bamboo house, but also arranged dozens of Xichuan soldiers to stand guard outside the bamboo house.

After making some arrangements, Guo Ye returned to the bamboo house to sit and talk with Zhao Jiuchou, and quietly talked about the real intention of arranging them to stay in Tianzhu.

One spoke frankly and openly, and the other pricked up his ears and listened carefully. At about the end of Guo Ye's words, Zhao Jiuchou exclaimed: "So, after leaving Qunv City, my brother wants to send [-] Nipoluo mountain ghosts to the city. The soldiers and the military power of our [-] Xichuan Army have all been handed over to Princess Rajasili? Letting a female class control us, hey, I really can't get rid of this face."

Guo Ye said with a smile: "Jiu Chou, haven't you understood what I said? Rajashili is not an easy woman. I believe that once the Three Kingdoms of South Tianzhu are pacified, hehe, there will be swords, lights and swords in the palace of this female city. There's a coup."

"Why can't I understand what my little brother means?"

Zhao Jiuchou said suspiciously: "My little brother is saying that this woman, Lagasiri, wants to use her military achievements in pacifying South Tianzhu to frighten Tianzhu's government and the people, and follow the example of our current emperor in the Tang Dynasty, first get rid of the two useless princes, and then force her father to quit. The Japanese king abdicates, enjoys the kingdom of Tianzhu, and becomes a generation of queens. But then again, this woman's ambition and city are really not inferior to the majestic seven-foot man."

"Hehe, women don't give way to men. In this regard, we Han people are almost the same as their Tianzhu people."

Guo Ye nodded and said, "So, this is the real reason why I detained you, Danzhu and the others in Tianzhu."

Zhao Jiuchou hurriedly said: "No, little brother, I still don't understand. Even if Princess Rajasili wants to kill her brother to force her father to abdicate and become the queen of Tianzhu, this is also a family affair. What does it have to do with us?"

"Oh, let me go, I said why are you not enlightened?"

Guo Ye scolded angrily: "It's a big deal. If you and Danzhu can take advantage of the military achievements in pacifying the Three Kingdoms of South Tianzhu, get a job in Tianzhu, and gain a foothold in the court of Tianzhu, then in the future Will this woman, Rajashili, have less place to rely on you in the future? In addition, after the unification of the north and south Tianzhu, the "Treaty of Qunu City" will come into effect, and Tianzhu will naturally become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. By then , Tianzhu is intimidated by the Tang Empire outside, and you are in control of it inside, so it’s not up to us how to play it?”

"Hiss... little brother, I understand what you mean!"

Zhao Jiuchou finally got the hang of it, and sighed with great emotion: "Brother, do you want us to monitor Princess Rajasili in Tianzhu, like Cao Cao to coerce the emperor and also order the princes?"

Guo Ye waved his hands with a smile on his lips, and said, "Hehe, no, to be precise, it should be Queen Ragashuri to command Tianzhu Kingdom."

Zhao Jiuchou's heart suddenly surged, but he was troubled again: "Brother, the key is that we have too few people in Tianzhu. Besides, Danzhu and I are both warriors, and we are good at attacking cities with swords on horseback. But playing tricks and scheming is really an amateur."

Guo Ye secretly praised Zhao Jiuchou for being so clear-headed, he was not dazzled by the temptation of the future at all, and he was able to recognize his own shortcomings and deficiencies.

Immediately, he smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, the war between North and South Tianzhu is a protracted tug-of-war according to my estimation. After all, the three southern kingdoms have fought against North Tianzhu for so long. It will be captured as soon as it is conquered. Therefore, it will take at least one or two years for Northern Tianzhu to completely pacify the South. During this time, I will continue to send you soldiers by borrowing troops from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, you Not only can I take the opportunity to win over a group of local forces in Tianzhu, but I will also arrange for you a few talents who are good at strategy. Don’t forget, my Guo Ye not only has warriors who can fight..."

"Okay, just listen to my brother."

Zhao Jiuchou slapped his thigh hard, and shouted: "Brother trusts me, Zhao Jiuchou, even if I lose my head or my life, I won't let your hard work go to waste."

Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "I don't need you to lose your head or your life. I want you, Danzhu, and our people to be well, and they will all give me prosperity and wealth in Tianzhu Kingdom. Fenghou, give me complete control over this Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom."

After finishing speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the bamboo house. Guo Ye raised his hand to signal Zhao Jiuchou, who was about to open his mouth to speak, to silence, and then asked outside the bamboo house, "What's the matter?"

With a creak, the door of the house was pushed open, and a Xichuan soldier came in to report: "My lord, a few female officials from Tianzhu came outside the post house, and they also led the elephant. I will take you to the Liuli Palace where Her Royal Highness the Princess lives."

Zhao Jiuchou's expression suddenly became tense, but Guo Ye pursed his lips and smiled, comforting him, "Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious. Princess Rajashri must have figured it out. She came to me, hehe, it's purely for personal matters."

Zhao Jiuchou snorted, and asked a lot: "Brother, what else can you have private affairs with her? I can't bear this woman's uneasiness and good intentions."

Guo Ye said happily: "How dare she be unfavorable to me when she wants something from me? Hehe, she just picked me up to let me feel her sincere friendship."

Zhao Jiuchou was a little confused when he heard it, and asked suspiciously: "A sincere friendship? Take you there to feel the feelings? What do you mean?"

Guo Ye didn't want to speak out, shook his head, got up leisurely, and said: "Don't worry about it, I will stay in the Liuli Palace at night and won't come back, so don't leave the door for me."

After saying that, he turned around and stretched his waist, groaned comfortably, and said to himself: "Since I left Chang'an, went to Tubo, and then went to Tianzhu, I haven't stretched my muscles and bones for a long time. Hehe, it's a matter of time. Oh, it's really weird, tsk tsk, especially an exotic Tianzhu princess."

He reached out and patted the Xichuan soldier on the shoulder, and shouted: "Let's go, lead the way, and I won't be back tonight, hahaha..."

Chapter 960 There is a Princess in the Glass Palace

The palace of Princess Rajashri was not located in the palace, but far away from the palace, and was built in the south of Qunv City near the Ganges River.

The reason why it is named as the Glazed Palace is that the palace of Princess Rajashri is made of crystal clear glazed tiles. Whenever the sun rises and the sun shines on it, the glazed tile roof of the palace will reflect a dazzling white light. Such as white phosphorous holy light, it is very noble and magnificent, and Buddhists in Tianzhu Kingdom worship it, so this palace is named Liuli Palace.

The material of glazed tiles is naturally glazed tiles, and the material for making glazed tiles was obtained by the ancients from the by-products produced during bronze casting, and then refined and processed into glazed glaze.There are various colors of colored glaze, and the ancients also called it "five-color stone".By the Han Dynasty, the production level of colored glaze was quite mature.However, the smelting technology is in the hands of the royal family and nobles, and has been kept secret.

In ancient times, colored glaze, as a special material, belonged to the royal family just like apricot yellow and dragon pattern.Because it was difficult to obtain among the people, people at that time even regarded colored glaze as more precious than jade.

Therefore, the common people have always believed that cherishing the rare colored glaze can bless the owner, "if you live at home, you will be rich, and if you are an official, you will be a minister."

The people in Buddhism regard the Buddhist utensils made of colored glaze as sacred objects, and call colored glaze one of the seven treasures of Buddhism.

Even in Chang'an, the world's number one city in this era, it is very rare for dignitaries and officials to see colored glaze. For example, Changsun Mansion, Guo Ye has never seen glazed tiles and glazed products only in the Chang'an Imperial Palace.

It is conceivable how precious glass products are in this era.

As for the introduction of Western glass technology to China in later generations, it will be a thousand years later, so it can only be another matter.

Today, in this country of Tianzhu, which is extremely backward in technology, this Princess Rajasili is so generous that she can decorate the roof of a huge palace with glazed tiles.

Tianzhu is known as the country of Buddhism, and Buddhists regard colored glaze as a Buddhist treasure. Princess Rajasili is so generous, how can these eminent monks in Tianzhu feel embarrassed?
