Fu Tang

Shi Xueting hadn't heard Li Congjia's angry and unexpected tone for a long time, so he couldn't help rushing in without waiting for the notification.

And when he went in, he found that there were... a lot of people in Zichen Palace.

A lot of people is not a problem, but a lot of people with disheveled clothes is a big problem.

However, Shi Xueting soon discovered that it wasn't that these people were disheveled, but that the clothes these people wore were designed like this, because except for Oleg, everyone else could clearly see the existence of the servants. .

When Li Congjia saw Shi Xueting coming in, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help regretting that he would have waited for Shi Xueting to come back to see Oleg again!

However, he was also careless. If he was more cautious, how could Oleg bring these people in?It was already blocked at the gate of the palace.

Li Congjia was a little annoyed, a little anxious, and a little unbelievable. Oleg was probably the only guy he had seen so upright as a gift to a beauty when he grew up.

Oleg also felt unnatural for a moment after seeing Shi Xueting, but he still said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, these are beauties who have been trained and can guarantee that no one else has touched them."

Li Congjia was almost suffocated, who cares if they have been touched, a group of men, oh, should be said to be a group of young men, do boys have to have the concept of chastity these days?

No, no, that's not the point, Li Congjia felt like he was going crazy, he never thought that the so-called treasures of Oleg were actually these boys.

Even if he likes men, he is not a pervert who likes to play with Mr. Xiaolang, okay?

Seeing Li Congjia's cheeks flushed with anger, Shi Xueting said, "Your Highness, your gift... Your Majesty may not like it very much. The Tang Dynasty has no shortage of beauties."

Shi Xueting had to admit that the young gentlemen Oleg found were really green and tender, each with fair skin and eyes of various colors, the expressions on their faces were innocent, but the clothes on their bodies were always tempting looking at others.

Oleg glanced at Shi Xueting, and then at Li Congjia, he suddenly found that this majestic yet gentle emperor looks really good-looking, the most important thing is that he looks better when he is angry.

Oleg smiled slightly, stepped forward and pulled off his coat, and he was actually wearing the same clothes as those young men!

Although Oleg is a bit older, he can barely be considered a teenager. His body is mature, his muscles are smooth, his skin is fair, and he doesn't have the thick body hair that Turkic men often have. I don't know if he has shaved it off.

Standing there wearing such clothes, the majestic prince couldn't see any discomfort, and said directly: "I'm not talented, and I'd like to share your majesty's worries." After a pause, he seemed to remember something, and saluted Shi Xueting from afar: "Please don't mind the national teacher, I'm just a passer-by."

Li Congjia was dumbfounded. He glanced at Shi Xueting and found that Shi Xueting's face was so gloomy that he could drip water. He couldn't help saying: "What are you talking about? You... what do you look like? Put on your clothes quickly, if you do this again I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you."

Oleg stared at Li Congjia with a pair of blue eyes, not to mention anything else, his eyes alone could be said to be affectionate and charming. It is estimated that few people who were looked at by him could not keep their minds fluttering.

He used to look at others with such eyes before, but this time he met people with hearts of stone.

If Li Congjia really liked every beauty he saw, he and Shi Xueting would have forgotten each other long ago. After all, Shi Xueting was indeed beautiful, but as he got older, the edges and corners of Shi Xueting gradually became sharper. I can't get back the indiscriminate sex in my youth. If Li Congjia only liked beautiful boys, he would definitely not hang out with Shi Xueting for so long.

Li Congjia was just talking, but Shi Xueting was much more simple and rude, directly motioned Chunsheng to pick up the clothes on the ground, then took them and shook them, directly wrapped Oleg into a rice dumpling, and called the soldiers outside the door Said: "Take it away!"

Oleg was taken away before he could say anything, and after he left, the young men he brought with him looked very flustered, although they all knew their identities and knew that they were just sent Gifts, but when the recipient obviously doesn't like them, they will naturally think more, after all, they can live a good life only if they can please the owner.

For these little gentlemen, both Li Congjia and Shi Xueting felt that it was not easy to deal with them, and of course they would not return them to Oleg, otherwise who knows who they would give these poor children to.

Li Congjia thought for a while and said, "Let someone take them outside to Zhuangzi."

Shi Xueting asked lightly: "Golden House Cangjiao?"

Li Congjia stared: "Are you going to put it in your house?"

Shi Xueting didn't say a word, putting these beautiful young people in anyone's place is enough to make people feel uncomfortable, even if they know that the other party can't accept these people, they still feel awkward in their hearts.

So Shi Xueting said directly: "Let's put it in Shishilang's mansion first."

The last time Shi Xueting asked Yang Xin and the others to move out, Yang Xin found a suitable mansion very quickly, and then moved out directly. When he moved, both Li Congjia and Shi Xueting returned their settling expenses.

These two people are not short of money, and they are very generous when they make a move. This means that with Yang Xin's level, he cannot live in a bigger mansion, otherwise, that house may not be much worse than Li Hongji's palace.

Even so, this mansion can be regarded as the only one at his level, which is one of the reasons Shi Xueting wants to let people go there - the place is big enough.

Thus, Yang Xin received a courier from his master from the palace in the middle of the night - a dozen or so beautiful boys with scantily clad clothes.

After Tian Wuniang saw these beautiful boys, she stared at them on the spot: "Eleventh Lang!"

Yang Xin immediately said: "It has nothing to do with me!"

After Yang Xin finished speaking, he hid behind the pillar, and then climbed up slowly. Although it was not worth it, it could save him from suffering a few times after all. After so many years of marriage, he didn't practice anything else. The ability to climb a pillar with one hand is probably not as good as his master.

The ones who sent these people were peach charms. They are not surprised by such a scene. Anyway, now the government and the public basically know that Honglu Siqing is more afraid of internal affairs, but everyone understands. After all, Tian Wuniang's skills are quite impressive. Don't even think about getting close to her.

Tao Fu saw that a family war was about to break out in the mansion of Honglu Temple Minister, and quickly explained: "These young gentlemen were originally given to His Majesty by Prince Oleg, and His Majesty is not interested in them, and he is not willing to stay in the palace. Put it in Yang Honglu's mansion, and the national teacher sent a message to reassure Yang Honglu that he will find a way to deal with this matter."

Yang Xin hugged the pillar tightly and said, "Look, I said it has nothing to do with me!"

Tian Wuniang snorted and didn't say anything, but gave Taofu a reward and said: "Thank you, Chang Shi, for running this trip in the middle of the night, and please ask Chang Shi to reply to your majesty and the national teacher. We will take care of these little gentlemen." It's all right."

Tao Fu narrowed his eyes with a smile and said: "Thank you, Mrs. Yang, so I will return to the palace and return to life."

Tian Wuniang was also happy to hear that. According to Yang Xin's grade, she still can't be called a wife, but everyone in the palace knows their relationship with the emperor and the national teacher. Who dares to say that Tian Wuniang will not be a wife in the future life?So for the sake of sound, I just called it up.

After Tao Fu left, Tian Wuniang changed her face instantly, raised her head and said, "Are you waiting for me to go up to invite you if you don't come down?"

Yang Xin made a careful distinction, and found that although Tian Wuniang had a straight face, she couldn't see that she was angry, and there was a little smile in her eyes. She was relieved and slid down slowly.

After waiting, Tian Wuniang couldn't help but leaned over and pinched him and said, "How dare you do this in front of so many people, how shameless you are?"

Yang Xin took a look at those beautiful boys who stared at them with wide eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a moment, just now he just thought that Taofu was one of his own people so there is no need to be taboo, and he forgot that there are so many children here.

But he didn't mind, anyway, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that he was afraid of his wife, so these children were not bad.

He rubbed the place where he was pinched, and said flatteringly: "The lady said where should I put them?"

Tian Wuniang raised her chin: "What do you think?"

Yang Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "This is a lady's business, so I won't interfere too much."

Seeing his small appearance, Tian Wuniang couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Okay, let someone take them to the other village, find someone to get them some decent clothes first, and don't neglect when you get there." That's it."

Although the status and status of these little guys are not enough, it depends on who they are compared with. In any case, they are ordered by Li Congjia and Shi Xueting. Before Shi Xueting handles these little gentlemen, they must be delicious. Delicious offerings.

After hearing this, Yang Xin was really relieved. Although his sexual orientation was fine, these young gentlemen seemed quite indistinguishable. Qing, his wife is pregnant again recently, so she can't be angry.

When Taofu returned to the palace to return to life, Li Congjia and Shi Xueting were relatively speechless, both of them felt that today's matter... was nothing.

Li Congjia said sullenly: "It's better to give me a night pearl."

Even if it's not rare, it's better than it's almost impossible to explain it now, and Shi Xueting sat beside him and smiled slightly: "It seems that even Oleg knows about it."

Shi Xueting didn't explain clearly, but Li Congjia knew that he was referring to the relationship between the two of them.

Oleg must have known about it, or else he had heard someone mention it, otherwise it would be impossible to send him a young man. After all, even if he wanted to send a beauty, he would still be sending a young lady.

After Taofu came back, he described the ups and downs of the Yang family. Li Congjia couldn't help laughing, and turned to Shi Xueting and said, "Others are sons cheating their fathers, so it's good to come to you. Master cheating apprentices, thanks to you." Tao Fu as an endorsement, otherwise Eleven Lang will be punished today!"

Shi Xueting also found it funny, shook his head and said: "Okay, it's getting late, let's rest."

When Li Congjia heard it, he felt at ease, knowing that Shi Xueting had no intention of pursuing further.

It's just that the two of them passed by here, but Oleg hasn't achieved his goal on the other side.

Although Shi Xueting ordered Oleg to be sent out, Oleg's status was special after all, and he was just sent to the small courtyard where he lived. The next day Oleg came to visit the emperor dressed like a normal person, Li Congjia wanted to see him even if he wanted to, but before meeting, he had someone call Shi Xueting over - he had to be on guard, he had to be on guard.

After Oleg came, he didn't see any embarrassment on his face. Instead, he asked, "Your Majesty, did I take care of those people I brought here?"

Damn, how dare you say that!

Before Li Congjia could speak, Shi Xueting said, "Your Majesty has seen them sent elsewhere."

Oleg didn't ask where the young gentlemen went, and said with great regret: "Your Majesty doesn't know. Those children have been specially trained and are very familiar with love affairs. Even if they don't use them themselves, watching him do it is very pleasing to the eye."

Li Congjia was stunned for a moment before he realized that Oleg meant that those young gentlemen had been specially trained. If the master didn't use them, they could do that with each other, and what they did could be very beautiful for viewing.

To tell the truth, he had also heard that there were nobles who played like this, and the banquets in the Tang Dynasty also had this kind of thing, but he knew that everyone knew that on the surface, everyone was very dignified, and no one would come to Li Congjia to talk about these private things. He is really not used to Oleg telling him so carelessly now.

Li Congjia had no choice but to change the subject: "Don't talk about this anymore, it's not very interesting, it's better to talk about your thoughts."

What else can Oleg say?Not to mention his plans for his elder brother and himself, Li Congjia didn't raise him for nothing, if Oleg was useless, Li Congjia really didn't mind changing hands and handing him over to Vladimir.

Oleg was silent for a while and said: "If I am the Grand Duke, the Principality of Kievan Rus would like to join the Datang Federation."

Li Congjia raised his eyebrows slightly. He doesn't know whether Oleg is really stupid or not. In his opinion, the best thing is to let Kievan Rus Principality join the federation, but he thought it might be a bit difficult before.

After all, Oleg is also an ambitious person. If he doesn't rebel, he can still be a leisure prince in the Principality of Kievan Rus, and he won't die at all. If he joins the Datang Federation, his power may not be as good as When the prince.

After all, the princes over there are quite similar to the princes and kings of the ancient Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, and they all have absolute rule over their fiefdoms.

So Li Congjia also thought about how to negotiate with Oleg and get him to agree to join the Datang Federation. He felt that Oleg might finally accept it.

As a result, he never expected that Oleg would actually make this request himself, which surprised Li Congjia.

But why?

Oleg said very frankly: "Thanks to His Majesty for letting me escape, His Majesty is kind to me, and if I can't go back, no matter how hard I insist, the Principality of Kievan Rus is not mine, and I am Why are you so stubborn? Vladimir is my enemy. He killed Brother Wang. I want to avenge Brother Wang and myself, so I can accept any conditions. I asked the prince before, and the prince said If you want His Majesty to send troops, it is the best sincerity for the Principality of Kievan Rus to join the Datang Federation, and now I offer my sincerity, what does Your Majesty mean?"

After the whole discussion, the only thing Li Congjia can be sure of is that Oleg's Chinese language learning is still very good. Although the use of idioms may be a bit messy, the choice of words and sentences has passed.

Yes, at such a critical moment, Li Congjia was distracted from commenting on Oleg's Chinese.

Seeing that Li Congjia did not speak, Oleg couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty?"

Seeing that Li Congjia was silent, Shi Xueting said, "Your Majesty already knows what the prince wants, but Vladimir is the Grand Duke of Kievan Rus after all, and His Majesty will have to go through a lot of twists and turns to keep you here. Don't be impatient, go back and wait, if His Majesty agrees, he will send someone to inform you."

Oleg glanced at Li Congjia and found that Li Congjia didn't speak, so he knew that he was acquiescing to Shi Xueting's statement.

He is also considered interesting, he went crazy last night, but today he looks very normal, he directly saluted and said: "So, I will take my leave first."

Li Congjia nodded, and said after he left: "I was ready to bargain with him, but he showed his hole card directly, which also met my expectations, but... just agreed, Does it seem that we are too easy to talk to?"

In fact, this is the same as buying something. Oleg showed his price at the beginning, and Li Congjia naturally wanted to counter the price. However, the expected price was reached in his heart all of a sudden, which made him feel a little undecided—— — I don’t know if I have to cheat again.

Shi Xueting pondered for a while and said: "This matter... Actually, this is the bottom line. Going forward, what benefits can Datang get from the Kievan Rus Principality?"

The Principality of Kievan Rus has joined the federation. To put it bluntly, it has already been ruled by Datang.

Li Congjia always felt that something was wrong, Shi Xueting suddenly said: "But Oleg is indeed cunning, he put forward such a condition, he must have seen that Datang is not good at practice."

Li Congjia was stunned for a moment before he realized it. He said why he hesitated just now, so he was waiting for him here.

Where is the Principality of Kievan Rus?It is thousands of miles away from Datang, of course, this is not a big deal, Datang itself has this distance from the easternmost to the westernmost, but between Datang and the Principality of Kievan Rus... there are many other things mixed in. country.

Those small countries in the southwest can be ignored, such as the Kara Khanate, they must be defeated, and there are also the Ghaznavid Dynasty and the Saman Empire.

These two countries, one south and one north, happen to be bordered by the Kara Khanate. If the Kara Khanate is defeated and the Principality of Kievan Rus also becomes a member of the Datang Federation, these two countries will be at the same time. The hinterland of the Tang Dynasty is on the main throat of the principality of Kievan Rus.

This is just one, and the second is that Chang’an is too far away from the Principality of Kievan Rus. After Oleg returned, although the Principality of Kievan Rus had become one of the member states of the Datang Federation on the surface, in fact... the Emperor Shangao was far away, and Kiev How to rule the Principality of Ross is not up to him?

No wonder Oleg was able to offer such a price so happily. Li Congjia felt a little relieved. After thinking for a while, he said: "This is not good. We help Oleg in the spirit of international humanitarianism, not for the sake of Kievan Rus. Principality, so joining the Federal State is exempt, why not let the Principality of Kievan Rus pay tribute every year."

After becoming a member of the federation, Datang mainly collects taxes, and tribute is definitely exempted, and if the federated member states want to build, Datang will allocate funds to them, after all, it can be regarded as a country.

But if you face the Principality of Kievan Rus, taxation will be too difficult, so it is better to let them pay tribute.

Shi Xueting thought this was okay, but was a little puzzled: "International humanitarian spirit? What is that?"

What new term is this? Why hasn't he heard of it?

Li Congjia blinked, and in an instant he knew that he had slipped up, and quickly said, "It's not important, what do you think of my decision?"

Shi Xueting smiled and said, "Why are you asking me? Ask the cabinet."

Of course, Li Congjia wanted to ask the cabinet. Li Congjia could not decide on such a big matter alone. He could only set an intention. The specific amount of tribute should be paid, and the tribute should be paid several times a year. Wrangling with Oleg.

However, Li Congjia felt that Oleg might not be able to beat Yang Xin, so he was also very relieved.

The cabinet had the same idea as Shi Xueting. It is not suitable for such a remote country to accept as a member state. It is better to ask for tribute. Of course, when sending troops to help Oleg, the other party will also ask for some money.

So Oleg's second talk was with Yang Xin directly. After hearing the conditions given by Yang Xin, he actually said in a panic: "What can I do? I have received such great love from Your Majesty. Your Majesty has brought me sincerity. Naturally, His Majesty cannot be disadvantaged, the Principality of Kievan Rus sincerely wants to join the Datang Federation, and please allow His Majesty."

What can Yang Xin say, he can only play Tai Chi with him, so one insists on joining, and the other insists that we just see you miserable, and we want to help with justice in our hearts, how can we harm our allies?

The two were fighting each other, scolding each other for being cunning in their hearts. Yang Xin felt that Oleg must be trying to trick Datang, while Oleg thought that Yang Xin was just talking beautifully, but it had no practical meaning. Are you really It's as good as I said, if you have the ability, don't ask me to pay for it!

Oleg doesn't have much money in his hands now, and this money will be his capital for flopping in the future, and he won't use it easily. He also made the decision to join Datang Federation after careful consideration in order not to spend money immediately.

It turned out that the Emperor Datang was not stupid at all, and he seemed to have to pay the money.

Yang Xin got bored with his nonsense and said directly: "You must know that His Majesty has already ordered troops. If the prince doesn't make a decision soon, it will be too late."

Oleg smiled and said, "Could it be that His Majesty doesn't intend to fight Vladimir without my promise?"

He has been in Datang for so long and he has figured out the temper of these yellow people. Anyway, they just refuse to accept and beat anyone who dares to provoke them. However, they are still very powerful, as if they are blessed by God.

Yang Xin smiled like a little fox: "Of course, it's just a way to get the Grand Duke of Kievan Rus to retreat... there's more than one way."

The smile on Oleg's face gradually froze: Is this... a threat to him?

The author has something to say: Speaking of Maine Coon cats, they have been bred as pet cats for many years, and their temper and character have selected the most suitable one for pets, so they are relatively docile, but they were used as farm cats in ancient times. Working cat, this kind of cat is really fierce, the kind that even foxes dare not provoke.

And, a lot of friends can see that it is about to end. In fact, there is a tendency to do so, but when will it end... I can't tell, maybe it will be this month XD
