Li Shimin

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

All the Tubo envoys bowed their hands with joy on their faces.

Just, after a few days.

Seeing that their time limit for staying in the Honglu Guesthouse was approaching, a group of Tubo envoys found out Li Xuan's preferences.

"Like gold? Like iron? Also, like food?..."

Hearing the reports from all his subordinates, Shang Nang's face became even more joyful.

"This king of Jin has really planned for a long time. If all the favorites of this king of Jin are brought out, how many troops can he support?"

Saying that, Shang Nang's face could not help but slowly stiffen.

Although the preferences of the King Jin of the Tang Dynasty were very in line with their tastes, they could not immediately provide these preferences to the King Jin.

Moreover, Tubo is not rich in gold, iron and food, etc.!

"How much money do I have to carry this time?"

Thinking about it, Shang Nang asked a confidant beside him.

"Back to Xiangguo, there is a thousand copper coins from the Tang Dynasty, and a small box of various rare treasures!"

"One thousand strings?"

Hearing this, Shang Nang couldn't help but frowned slightly, "How much gold can one thousand guan get?"

"Returning to the Prime Minister, according to the reports of his subordinates, because the King Jin loves gold very much, the gold in the entire Chang'an City is very rare now, and a thousand gold coins can be exchanged for ten catties of gold!"

"Ten pounds?"

Shang Nang frowned again, he never thought that the price of gold that can only be used to make some utensils in Datang is so high?

However, when he thought of the Great Tang King Jin, Shang Nang's eyes turned hard.

"Hurry up and exchange for half a box of rare treasures, and exchange for twenty catties of gold for the truth!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

A group of Tubo envoys bowed their hands again.

Soon, two Tubo envoys brought a small box of heavy gold and handed it to Shang Nang.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to pay a visit to that Great Tang King Jin!"

A look of satisfaction flashed in Shang Nang's eyes after glancing at the twenty golden sticks.

However, Shang Nang didn't know that, in the eyes of all the dignitaries in Chang'an City, what they thought was a very covert behavior was as loud as drums and gongs.

At the hour when Shang Nang got the gold, at least twenty factions in Chang'an City received the news.

However, everyone's reaction is different.

Inside the Hall of Liangyi, Li Shimin just sneered, his face remained calm.

All the aristocratic families and dignitaries in Chang'an City were full of curiosity and ordered their servants to keep a close eye on the group of Tubo missions.

But in Lijiazhuang, Li Xuan couldn't help sighing, trouble is coming!

"housekeeper!"

"Your Majesty?"

Li Chang hurriedly bowed in response.

"Send someone to tell Li Chongyi, the prince and others to come to the manor tomorrow!"

Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang didn't ask any further questions, and responded directly.

"Ugh……"

Li Xuan sighed helplessly, "When people sit at home, disasters come from heaven!"

After finishing speaking, he drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp, got up and walked to the second floor,

Early the next morning.

Li Chongyi, Li Chengqian, Li Baoding, Wang Xuance, Cheng Chusi, Changsun Chong and others who had spare time all came to Lijiazhuang.

"Meet the master!"

"I don't know Master asked me to come here today, but what's the matter?"

After meeting with Li Xuan, Cheng Chusi asked curiously.

"We have a guest today, and I want you to come and welcome them!"

Li Xuan said.

"guest?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others all looked puzzled.

"Today, you are all disciples of those great Confucianists in this Wangzhuang!"

Li Xuan didn't answer, but said directly.

"disciple?"

Li Chengqian and Li Chongyi were startled, and then looked at Cheng Chusi beside him with embarrassment.

"Master, a few people like me can be the disciples of great Confucians, but Chu Si and Bao Lin are not even close to literati..."

Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin also looked helpless.

"In this way, you are the king's personal guard!"

Li Xuan said directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin were overjoyed.

"Master, who is it that came here that you value so much?"

After everything was settled, Cheng Chusi asked curiously again.

"The one who will give me twenty catties of gold for free!" Li Xuan smiled lightly.

As soon as the twenty catties of gold came out, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others all understood instantly, only Li Baoding and Wang Xuance were still a little confused.

However, neither of them is a person with strong curiosity, so they didn't ask more questions.

soon.

Not long after Li Chongyi and others arrived at Lijiazhuang, the butler Li Chang hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the Tubo envoys are seeking to see you outside the village!"

"Let them in!"

Li Xuan said directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Chang responded and walked out slowly.

Inside the room, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others were all full of curiosity.

……

Chapter 704 Just Speak Up!

After a while, they saw a group of Tubo missions wearing cool silk robes walking in.It's just that these Tubo envoys were still wearing a cloak and a felt hat on their heads, which seemed a bit nondescript.

"Little envoy Shang Nang sees His Royal Highness King Jin of the Tang Dynasty!"

The little old man in the lead bowed his hands to Li Xuan respectfully, and then turned his head to look at a subordinate behind him.

The subordinate immediately understood, and hurried forward, placed the small wooden box in his arms in front of Li Xuan, opened it a little, and a golden light shone inside.

Immediately, the small wooden boxes were covered again.

"This is the mere gift that the envoy prepared for his visit to His Highness King Jin this time. It is not a respect. Please don't take it too lightly, His Highness King Jin!"

"It's okay, whoever comes is a guest, please sit down!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, with a very polite attitude.

Although I really wanted to beat to death these Tubo hozens who had led troops to attack the border of the Tang Dynasty not long ago, but they were envoys, and they even came to visit him specially, and even took the strange box they were carrying with them. He exchanged rare treasures for money and bought him twenty gold bars as a gift.

The etiquette is so thoughtful, he can only treat each other with courtesy.

After all, he brought such a heavy gift when he came to the door. If these hozen were not the envoys of the feudal kingdom that he had always wanted to kill, they would have become his distinguished guests!

It's a pity that the person who came came with a ghost in his heart.

For the handsome and kind-hearted King of Tang and Jin in front of him, Shang Nang felt relieved.

He sat on the sofa with a group of subordinates according to his words.

However, just as he sat down, Shang Nang sensed something was wrong.

this sofa?

It is hundreds of times more comfortable than the sofa in his home!

And this house is so bright, and in such a weather, without putting any ice, it is still very cool...

Moreover, this house is also extraordinary, I am afraid that there is no such luxury in the Tang Palace!

Thinking of the scene he saw when he just came in, Shang Nang couldn't help being absent-minded for a while, and even a little shocked.

Even if the king of Jin lived in such a remote village, he was so extravagant?

"According to rumors, the Li Family Village of His Royal Highness King Jin is the paradise of the Tang Dynasty. The farmers here live and work in peace and contentment, and there are great Confucianism who teach the children to read and write. Moreover, every farmer here saves hundreds of dollars in their homes. The houses are strong and clean, making Every farmer in the village lives a fairy-like life!

His Royal Highness Prince Jin is the sage king of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved! "

After regaining his senses, Shang Nang hurriedly said humbly.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, "Your envoy, don't be polite, you are an envoy of Tubo, and logically speaking, you are a guest of the Tang Dynasty. And this king is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone is busy with business, so there is no need to go around in circles. Just speak up if you have something to say!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin really speaks quickly!"

Shang Nang laughed lightly.

Then, after pondering for a moment, he suddenly remembered something, and a look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

He raised his head and glanced at Li Chongyi, Li Chengqian and others beside Li Xuan.

"I don't know who are these people next to His Royal Highness King Jin?"

"These boys are all the disciples of the great Confucianists in this king's manor. As for these two, they are the personal guards of the king, and they are deeply trusted by the king. It doesn't matter if the Lord Shang has something to say."

Li Xuan said directly.

Hearing this, Shang Nang blinked his eyes, and a sudden realization flashed across his face.

Sure enough, this King Jin also wanted to sit on that throne.

Thinking about it, Shang Nang said slowly: "Presumably, His Royal Highness King Jin also knows that the small envoy came this time to plead guilty to Datang!"

"This king knows about this matter!"

Unexpectedly, Shang Nang, an old thief, dared to tell him about this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sneered, his face darkened.

"How dare the small country of Tubo dare to raise troops against our Tang Dynasty? According to my king's intention, whoever raises troops against my Tang Dynasty should be led by this king to destroy their country, take their king captive, and let the whole country pay compensation. My Great Tang's loss!"

The gloomy tone made Shang Nang shudder.

Behind him, all the Tubo envoys were shocked and looked out the door with vigilance.

I'm afraid that a group of soldiers with knives will come in from outside and hack them to death.

His Royal Highness King Jin has no previous convictions for this kind of thing.

Just when the Tubo envoys were panicking, Li Xuan suddenly chuckled, and there was some regret in his words.

"However, this time you are holding twenty catties of gold to visit me, and I didn't provoke you. I can only treat you as guests!"

"Abandoning the sect for praise?"
