Tang Xuan

According to Emperor Ming's will, he followed this father to Weiyang Residence, but it was already the second day.

Mingda looked sleepy, and only when he saw Emperor Ming did he show a little expression. "Daddy, are you here?" She sat up from the bed and said with a smile: "The maids don't allow Mingda to leave the room, but Mingda really wants to see the flowers planted last year in the yard. Daddy, are you sure? "

How could Emperor Ming be willing to refuse when his daughter took his hand and acted like a spoiled child?He had no choice but to order the maid to dress her thickly before he personally picked her up and went to the small pavilion in the garden together.As soon as Lu Youlin heard the conversation between their father and daughter, he had already asked someone to tidy up the pavilion. Fearing that Mingda would be afraid of the cold, he covered the pavilion with fans and ordered people to arrange a soft table, a few snacks that Mingda liked, and served a Pot of honey flower drink.

"Boss, you sit too." Mingda's hair was not even taken care of, and it just fell down like a waterfall. Although he had a sick look, it was already coquettish enough.

"Miss is always like this," Lu Youlin pleaded guilty, sat down first, and said, "What is it that makes you unhappy? Your Majesty and this old servant are looking at it, and feel distressed!"

Mingda didn't say anything. After all, she wanted to speak out about Li Yu's matter, but she couldn't be blind.After being silent for a long while, he said to Emperor Ming: "Father, Mingda doesn't ask for anything, I just ask Daddy to look at Mother's face and let the net go."

Emperor Ming sighed, and said: "I know, you are always concerned about the unworthy one." Emperor Ming has long since given up on Li Yu's rebellion, but some things are not what they appear to be.

"Yu'er likes mountains and rivers and admires Laozhuang, and his father demoted him to Boshan. I wonder if Mingda will be satisfied?" To his youngest daughter, Minghuang always dotes on him, and even has his own thoughts, and he can't bear to hide them.

Sure enough, Mingda's eyes lit up, and he looked at Emperor Ming: "Father, Mingda knows that you are not such a pedantic person!"

"Then my dear daughter, Daddy has a happy event and wants to tell you." Emperor Ming struck while the iron was hot, and said with a smile: "Daddy has chosen Lang Huai as your husband-in-law, and the chief supervisor has sent an imperial decree, does Mingda like it? "

Mingda knew well that this was because he was afraid that the Tibetans would propose marriage, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "But sister Gucheng...Daddy, you should think of a way, don't wrong sister!"

Minghuang didn't know Mingda's heart, so he smiled and said: "Gucheng is also Daddy's biological daughter, Mingda don't worry. Daddy only asks you, is he satisfied with Lang Huai?"

Mingda blushed, and mumbled, "But she...she's probably..."

Emperor Ming couldn't help feeling very comforted by such a childish attitude, and Lu Youlin also smiled and said: "It seems that the girl's heart is in her heart. Old slave, I will go to the Zongzheng Temple of the Ministry of Rites to remind me tomorrow, and choose someone Good day, lest Lang Huai worry about that child!"

"Why is she in a hurry!" Mingda said hurriedly, but slowed down halfway through the speech, almost inaudibly: "I'm not in a hurry either."

Emperor Ming smiled with a hint of realization: "Lang Huai has been in the army for a long time, and he doesn't know the relationship between men and women. I'm afraid it will make Ming Da suffer. But Daddy is from here, and she has a deep affection for you. I'm afraid it's Ming Da. I'm going to call slowly." Ming Huang whispered some thoughtful words to his daughter, seeing that she listened to his heart, he changed his expression, and solemnly took out a square jade pendant from his bosom.Others didn't recognize it, but Ming Da recognized that it was Emperor Ming's seal.This kind of jade seal has only been engraved on one piece since Emperor Ming ascended the throne.

"Mingda, daddy understands that you don't want to be confined in the palace, so daddy won't record you in the ancestral book." Emperor Ming put it in his daughter's palm, and said softly: "Daddy is not as good as before. In the future, I can't say anything, I can only rely on Lang Preserving that child will protect you. But she is a foreign minister after all, so I don't worry about it."

"Daddy has seen through it now. You can mess around as you like. Daddy doesn't care. But you take care of this thing. Daddy can only trust you now." After Minghuang said, he couldn't refuse, and said: "The fourth brother's thoughts It's too heavy, but father can't bear to take his life, so I'll leave this matter to Lang Huai and you."

Mingda's heart tightened, he raised his eyes to see, Minghuang's sideburns were already white.

Mengshen has the appearance of a typical Tibetan—not particularly tall, with deep-set eyebrows and healthy copper-colored skin.He had two beards on his lips, making him look a bit philistine.

When he followed the Jinwu Guard and saw the thin young man outside the post house, he couldn't help squinting his eyes and sizing her up carefully.

Is this the general of the Tang army who defeated Khotan with some kind of demonic technique?Meng Shen suddenly felt that she didn't understand Tang Ren at all, after all, she looked more like a clerk.

But when Lang Huai's gaze met him, Meng Shen suddenly opened his eyes wide-sharp, scrutinizing, with the arrogance in Tang people's bones.Meng Shen dodged subconsciously, and cursed himself in the next moment.

Lang Huai just looked at the mysterious national teacher silently, but he really didn't have the energy to think about anything else.The rules and regulations of the Ministry of Rites are really cumbersome, and she is the chief envoy, so she can't make any mistakes.Fortunately, Tatuo Tu and Tang Feiyan did their duty and reminded them carefully, Lang Huaicai slowly let go of his scruples and went to work.

Lang Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he finally led these people into the Danfeng Gate.At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, it was already a bit scorching hot. Lang Huai's forehead was covered with sweat. He wiped his sleeves secretly and looked at the Hanyuan Palace in the distance. Tang Feiyan was beside him and said in a low voice: "Captain, It’s almost over, keep at it.”

Lang Huai made a clear expression, and as he realized his expression, he sat up straight on the horse and waited for the imperial edict to be summoned.

This is, Daming Palace?

Passing through Zhuque Street all the way, the richness and grandeur of this giant city has already shocked Meng Shen.However, seeing the clear eyes of the missionary, the common people made him even more resentful—it was a great shame that Tubo lost the battle and lost the commercial rights of the Silk Road.Now, although the people of Tang promised to sign a letter of credence and discuss trade together, Meng Shen felt that it was a charity.

All emotions vanished after passing through the Danfeng Gate.

When he was summoned to enter the Hanyuan Hall, only awe was left in his heart.

All the civil and military officials were present, and Li Xun stood beside the Emperor Ming, watching the proud national teacher read the national book first in Tibetan and then in somewhat blunt Chinese, and honestly presented it with both hands.

As the crown prince, Li Xun asked Empress Ming for instructions, walked down the imperial steps, ignored Li Jin's razor-like gaze, and accepted the letter of credence that Tang had been waiting for for decades.

Half of Lang Huai's heart fell to the ground, and the glory on the bright side was finally half completed.The next game on the negotiating table, although inhumane, is the most important thing.

The banquet in the Hanyuan Palace has begun.

Lang Huai sat side by side with Meng Shen because of his status as the chief envoy, and made it clear that she and the national teacher should get to know each other quickly so that they can prepare for the next thing.Lang Huai felt helpless secretly, but had to put on an enthusiastic appearance, as if he really knew each other well.

"The captain's name is now well-known in the whole of Tibet." Meng Shen also deliberately made friends, and he was telling the truth: "When we parted, Zanpu specifically asked me to make friends with the captain. Zanpu The Tang people I admire the most are the captains."

His voice was not low, and many people could hear that Li Jin was about to make some articles, when Lang Huai had already taken up the conversation: "Zanpu is too famous, the national teacher knows that he will be in the Tang Dynasty, but he is just a low-level officer. Take me Throwing it in Anxi is just because the parents thought it was boring there. I was so lucky that I made a name for myself."

"And the only god of war in my Tang army's mind is His Majesty who went into battle in armor." Lang Huai arched his hands, shook his hands and saluted Emperor Ming, but kept saying, "Your Majesty is brave and decisive. Admiration. The national teacher has been in my Chang'an for a few more days, and then I will understand." She raised her eyebrows and smiled deliberately: "I am afraid that the national teacher will not go home after staying for a long time. But it doesn't matter, look at that , that is the king of Xiye Kingdom, who gave up his throne after he came to pay tribute to our Tang Dynasty, and devoted himself to taking the imperial examination, and became an official in our Tang Dynasty. Now there are also..." She pretended to be thinking, and Tang Feiyan on the side took over the conversation , continued: "It has been 23 years. Your Majesty has granted the surname Li by special decree. Now he is the minister of Zongzheng Temple. I heard that the former son has accepted the decree and is worrying about your marriage, Captain Lang."

Sure enough, these words aroused Meng Shen's interest, and he heard him ask: "Is Lang Duwei going to get married soon? Could it be Princess Gucheng?"

"How can it be?" Tang Feiyan was still the one who answered the conversation: "It's Miss Li from Weiyang Residence. Your Majesty has already decreed a marriage, and he will choose a good time to do things for the two of them. He is talented and beautiful, and he is beautiful and beautiful. Tang is so envious. By the way, did the national teacher ever get married?"

"Never." Meng Shen looked at Lang Huai suspiciously, and asked cautiously: "Miss Li? Please forgive me for taking the liberty, but is it Your Majesty's youngest daughter?"

Lang Huai smiled inwardly, made a smug expression, and replied: "All the national teachers know about this? It seems that Datang has done enough homework for me. To tell the truth, the national teacher is indeed her. We grew up together , Your Majesty will marry me to this general.” Lang Huai made a smirk, and whispered in Tubo language: “It’s much more precious than real golden branches and jade leaves!”

"Your Majesty, look, this Lang Huai is quite slippery. He has already become familiar with that ginseng without saying a few words." The emperor bows his head.

"That child is proficient in Tubo language, so I think he is very fond of Shen." Emperor Ming didn't care much, and said to Li Xun: "Although Lang Huai is the main envoy to greet him this time, you, the prince, should take care of him. Do you understand? "

"I understand." Li Xun responded, looked at Concubine Liang, and then continued: "It's just about the matter of father and Anxi. I ask myself that I can't understand it as well as Captain Lang. I believe that she can do big things. good."

"Your Highness's words..." Before Concubine Liang Guifei finished speaking, Emperor Ming laughed and said, "This is really insightful, but you should pay more attention. If you don't understand, don't feel ashamed. Ask Lang Huai when you should." .”

It's been a long time since Emperor Ming had spoken to Li Xun in such a friendly manner. He felt sour, raised his wine glass, and said with tears in his eyes, "I've made a note of this, please rest assured, Father."

Li Qian saw the situation on the imperial steps and felt hatred in his eyes, but he was still exquisite in every way, and he toasted with the courtiers, very romantic and suave.Naturally, Shangguan Yuan was the only one who looked after him, and accompanied him to Mengshen's table.

"National teacher, I respect you. I heard that you have already set off in the twelfth lunar month. It has been a difficult journey and it has been very hard." Li Qian poured the wine himself, with a face like a spring breeze, which made people very happy.

Mengshen was really grateful for the condolences from His Highness, stood up quickly, took the wine glass, raised it above his head as a salute, and drank the wine in one gulp, before saying: "Your Highness's kindness, Mengshen is really grateful. " Putting down the wine glass, he took off a gold frame from his neck, and offered it with both hands: "This is given by the Living Buddha, it can keep you safe, and please accept it, Your Highness, so that you can be truly sincere."

Li Qian was naturally personable, and he took it very seriously. He put it on with a smile in front of his face, and said: "The national teacher will spend more time in Chang'an, and my king will send a post in the future. Please visit the scene of Chang'an, and please don't wear it." reject!"

"Meng Shen dare not disobey."

The two seemed to be close friends, but Lang Huai simply greeted them and didn't intend to say anything more.Although Tatuotu bears the title of deputy envoy, he is the Minister of Rites after all, he is busy with affairs, and he really has a headache about Lang Huaimingda's marriage, so he will not interfere too much.

"Lieutenant Lang, after the winter hunting, I had to meet with the captain a few times. I don't know if the captain has recovered from his injury?" Li Qian and Meng Shen said, turning around and laughing.

Lang Huai nodded: "Your Highness is worried that I will have recovered. But thinking of the pain that day, I still can't let go of it. My father is right. If you don't practice martial arts for a day, you will lose a hundred days. Since he recovered, I will be more diligent. If you do it again If you encounter them, you won’t kill [-] enemies and lose [-].”

The corners of Li Qian's lips twitched for a moment, and he said with a smile: "Captain Du is really a wonderful person, I think the black bear's luck is too bad, but it won't always be that bad."

Lang Huai picked up the wine glass and drank it down, his eyes were clear: "It doesn't matter how lucky it is, if we meet again, I would definitely cut its throat and bleed for it again."
