Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

After all, after the examination, the imperial examination will be held soon, and the master does not want to dampen the confidence of the students.

But everyone knows that, in a sense, the significance of the trial examination is no worse than that of the imperial examination.

The imperial examination is the key to entering the officialdom.

And the review is the standard that determines the future of development!

So far, no outsider knows what the content of the academy's examination is.

If any academy student leaks the secret, he will be dealt with strictly!

Because of this, the examination results were placed on the top floor of the old library, in a certain archive where top-secret materials were kept.

Only three kinds of people can get these materials.

One is headed by the librarian Lu Deming, who holds the real secrets of the academy.

The second is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Left and Right.

The third is Thai Kee!

But the young official surnamed Mo didn't look like one of the three.

As for the leak

Nobody worries about the possibility.

The secrets of the academy are kept more strictly than the secrets of the court.

Those old royal priests guarding the archives alone are not easy to mess with.

Looking at the appearance of the person surnamed Mo, it seems that he still holds a lot of secrets in his hands.

And, very detailed!

Liu Wenzheng's face turned blue and white.

He was silent for a long time, cupped his hands towards the top, lowered his head and retreated.

Li Er was very satisfied with his attitude.

The people in the academy are arrogant and arrogant, and each of them is quite knowledgeable.

He waved his hand, motioning for the young official surnamed Mo to come back.

"Gentlemen, what is the purpose of entering the palace this time?"

The people below looked at each other.

Most of the courage before coming here has been consumed.

Dai Zhou looked at the people on both sides of the steps with a thoughtful look on his face.

He cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the old minister thought that if the Grand Court Meeting is cancelled, he can order all officials to take a rest!"

Li Er nodded and said: "That's very good. According to the previous year's regulations, the increase will be [-]%, so that you all have a good year!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Dai Zhou bowed and bowed down.

The people behind can only salute.

After Dai Zhou retreated, there was a brief silence in the hall.

Li Er said again: "If you love Qing, you can go out of the palace now."

Civil and military officials below, you look at me, I look at you.

No one wants to be the first bird anymore.

Liu Wenzheng was a young bird, so he was ashamed and blushed.

The results of the academy's examination were announced in court, and they were still average. His future prospects would not be very good.

There are a few good grades, but they refuse to stand out.

Who knows if there are other secrets in the hands of those people?

If someone tells it, he will have no face to live.

"Since there is nothing to play, Zhu Qing should go out of the palace! Dai Qing, Wen Qing"

Li Er ordered a few people to stay.

Everyone looked at me for a while, and I looked at you.

Seeing that there was still no one to speak, he could only salute and leave resentfully.

Dai Zhou, Wen Yanbo, Zhao Pu, and Di Zhixun stayed behind.

After everyone went out, Li Er asked people to close the palace gate.

"Come out."

As soon as the door was closed, Li Er's sanctimonious state disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a heart-pounding excitement!

squeak-

Li Chengqian opened the small door.

A large group of people with red eyebrows and green eyes came out of it!

Dai Zhou and Wen Yanbo stared straight at the scene.

They are not rotten scholars who keep their ears open.

As the leaders of the three provinces, they have enough insight.

In the eyes of others, those people with red eyebrows and green eyes have only one common name.

Aliens!

In their eyes, the difference between a foreign race and a foreign race is greater than that between a human and a dog.

Those few looked quite dark, they should be visitors from Tianzhu.

It is about the same length as the Zen master Jiexian who practiced closed mantra next to Xuanzang.

There are also a few curly bearded beards, who should be from the Western Regions.

The person wearing a felt hat and a half-foot-long feather on his head seems to be from Dashi.

The seven or eight people in the back have blue eyes and big aquiline noses that take up nearly half of their faces. It means that their hometown should be farther than Dashi.

The three on the far left were wearing floor-sweeping black robes, and each of them held a thick booklet in their hands.

The old people in Chang'an city all know their origins.

This is a group of Nestorian believers who have settled in Chang'an City for many years.

"Respected His Majesty the Tang Emperor, the great caliphate has expressed his sincerest sincerity. Back then, the great caliphate forged a deep friendship with you and the master of the Liu family in the Western Regions. The foundation of friendship between Shiguo!"

A middle-aged fat man wearing a felt hat bent down with difficulty and expressed his opinion in fluent Guanzhong dialect.

Li Er laughed and said: "It is true that Yusuf and I have a close friendship, but the exchanges between countries cannot be controlled by personal emotions. My Tang Dynasty is willing to send a princess to Dashi, which is also the highest sincerity !"

Dai Zhou and Wen Yanbo looked at each other tacitly.

They suddenly understood.

The reason why Wang Shouren appeared outside the palace just now was to delay them.

During that time, the emperor had talked with foreign envoys for a long time.

Obviously, the emperor didn't want more people to know that he was receiving foreign envoys.

The middle-aged fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Dear His Majesty the Tang Emperor, Dashi welcomes the rare creations of the Tang Empire, and even more welcomes the visit of His Highness the Princess, but the tariffs you mentioned far exceed Compared with the affordability of the big food, I think the tariffs you negotiated with the Byzantine Empire are very reasonable."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with white skin and blue eyes suddenly jumped out, pointed at the middle-aged fat man's nose, and said angrily: "Dashi is a hateful invader. You have destroyed countless lands, and you are not qualified to establish diplomatic relations with Tang!"

After finishing speaking, the blue-eyed old man knelt on the ground with a 'plop'.

"Your Majesty the Great Tang Emperor, I beg you to send troops to save the Byzantine Empire. If you can defeat those hateful invaders, our Emperor Heraclius I is willing to treat the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain and send the prince to the Tang Kingdom to study!"

Chapter 1546 Salt is like iron, a mountain of gold that can't be consumed or spent

The Byzantine Empire is a powerful empire located within the Great Food.

Datang called it Daqin, or Haixi Kingdom.

Including Li Er, people's understanding of the Byzantine Empire is scarce.

People only know that the Byzantine Empire has a relatively long history, dating back to the Western Han Dynasty, when it was called the Roman Empire.

Like the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the Central Plains, at about the same time, the Roman Empire split into Eastern Rome and Western Rome.

The Byzantine Empire was the Eastern Roman Empire.

As for the legendary Western Rome, it is indeed legendary.

Because the Tang Dynasty is not yet capable of shining the glory of the empire to Western Rome.

The reason why they know about the Byzantine Empire does not mean how much Li Er and the civil and military officials know about this place.

It's all because of the Turks!

Datang defeated the Turks and captured Xieli alive. The remnants of the Turks fled westward desperately and beat the Byzantine Empire to the point of crying.

For Li Er, this is definitely a matter of face.

His defeated generals beat them to the point of crying, directly proving the strength of the Tang Empire.

Because of this, Li Er is more willing to give some preferential policies to the Byzantine Empire.

This is an 'advantage' that Dashi does not have.

To this day, the Turks still roam the borders of the Byzantine Empire.

Like ghosts, they hovered on the edge of the Byzantine Empire for 600 years!

The pride of the Byzantine Empire was also completely defeated.

Dashi took the opportunity to seize a large area of ​​the Byzantine Empire.

If history does not change, the Byzantine Empire will lose the entire south within the next hundred years.

Of course, if Datang gets involved, the situation may not be the same

Li Er's attitude is very ambiguous.

Seeing the envoys of the two countries tearing it up in the hall, they didn't say anything to stop it.

He belongs to the kind of temperament that does not make too much of a big deal when watching the excitement. The more chaotic the alien territory, the more in line with the interests and development needs of Datang.

The tariffs of the Dashi and the Byzantine Empire have been formulated to be very different, and they may not have the intention to provoke disputes between them

Ping Pong Pong --

Dashi's middle-aged fat man had the upper hand.

The blue-eyed old man of the Byzantine Empire lay on the ground and coughed hard, as if he was going to cough out the leaves of his lungs.

People around did not dare to fight.

Even a country as powerful as Tianzhu is not qualified to be compared with Dashi and Byzantine Empire.

In terms of national strength, the three powerful empires of Tang, Dashi, and Byzantium are the masters of the world.

It is impossible for other countries to be the opponents of these three powerful empires.

Even if, the Byzantine Empire has fallen into a situation of internal and external troubles.

Seeing that Da Shi's middle-aged fat man was about to attack, Li Er pouted lightly, and immediately two Jinwu guards separated them from the middle.

Li Er said lightly: "The specific matters will be discussed by the prime minister of my Tang Dynasty with the envoys. Before that, I don't want to see any more disputes."

The envoys saluted one after another.

As powerful as Da Shi, he dared not provoke the great master of the empire.

Others don't know, but Yusuf must be well aware that if there is another battle in the Western Regions, Dashi will definitely not be Datang's opponent.

In just four years, the gap between the two empires has widened considerably

Dai Zhou entered the role quickly, with a reserved smile on his face, he said: "All envoys can come with me!"
