Chapter 46: Size and size

In the Tang Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, several people wearing white or black young men wearing ring headscarves were sitting on the ground.

Fortunately, the wooden floors here are spotlessly clean. A middle-aged man stood behind his back with his hands and looked comfortable and sighed in a man's voice: Chang'an is so big, and this room is also big.

The person who spoke was Zhang Jiancheng.

An older white-bearded man next to him was holding a ruby ​​the size of a bird egg under the lamp, staring at him for a long time, then putting it in the box, taking out another one and knocking it.

After a while, the old man said: We gave a gift from the King of Jin's Mansion, but now it seems that we have made a profit.

Zhang Jiancheng sneered: I have been running thousands of miles, and I have made many twists and turns to make this little thing?

The old man said expressionlessly: If you count the travel expenses, you should lose money.

Zhang Jiancheng gave him a blank look and frowned: I saw Princess Taiping in the palace that day. I had said it well at the beginning, but the King of Jin came forward and said he wanted to discuss it with the emperor. This matter would not be so smooth.

Another person sat together and interrupted: Now the emperor is used to help birds. I have heard that it is just a puppet. Everything is up to Princess Taiping's family.

Zhang Jiancheng said: Then there is no need to say that the mother and son were all done with everything, and what was the emperor?

The old man with a white beard still had no expression of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and said bluntly: King Jin is wary of us and cannot pass his hurdle.

Nonsense, isn't it obvious?Zhang Jiancheng's tone seemed a little annoyed. Otherwise, why would he give us these things?Who in Chang'an is not greedy for money?

Some of them said: In fact, the head man (Piluoge) is too worried. Our Liuzhao land is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. Can they control it?If you destroy the Heman first, then put the statement on the good news, the court will probably follow the flow and enfeoff the Heman land to us.

Another said: If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. According to the rules, we cannot embezzle other edicts at will. If the rules are broken, the Tang Bing will start a military force to punish him. Can we fight the Tang Bing?Isn’t it a handful of rice that can’t be stealing?

The man who spoke just now laughed and said: It’s not the situation that Taizong had at that time. The Tang army had no choice but to deal with the Tubo people. It had been a long time since the four directions of conquest. Didn’t you see that Zhubing Town is defending everywhere?Heman was already involved in a relationship with the Tubo people, so we didn't say that we were rebelling against the Tang Dynasty. It was impossible for the Tang soldiers to raise troops to punish them.Besides, they have many problems themselves, and they are looking forward to our Nanzhao restraining the Tubo people. I really can't see any reason why the Tang people can't get along with us.

Zhang Jiancheng said coldly: What's the use of saying this? What did the leader send us here for?If there is no need to do this, let’s go all the way to Chang’an to watch the fun?!

Everyone fell silent immediately.

Zhang Jiancheng said again: What we should do now is to find a way to complete our mission, pack up our things and go home, and if we fail, we will live up to our mission, we will go back with our heads!

At this time, the old man who was watching the gem said expressionlessly: Let’s try it with Daman and Xiaoman first. Good iron is used on the blade. The key to this is to pass the test from King Jin. It’s time to use them.

Zhang Jiancheng thought carefully and said: It seems that only this is the only way.

……

The envoy from Nanzhao went to the Prince of Jin, and happened to be checking the progress of the reform. He heard that Zhang Jiancheng was not willing to give in to him. After all, the distant guests from thousands of miles away came from the Confucians. It would be a pleasure to have friends from afar, and it would be okay to meet them.

He changed his purple robe and came to the seat on Fengman's floor. He asked someone to invite the envoy in to meet him.

According to the apparent rank, the chief of Nanzhao was originally a prince who was newly appointed by the governor, and the level was obviously lower than that of the prince. The counselor Zhang Jiancheng sent was even lower, so Xue Chongxun sat on it in a big way to enjoy their worship. If calculated based on actual strength, Xue Chongxun held half of the Tang Empire in his hand, and Zhang Jiancheng was even more terrible, and he was completely incomparable.

When he met Zhang Jiancheng and others, Xue Chongxun had already thought about it and could not accept the responsibility of destroying Nanzhao's abacus.

Xue Chongxun was naturally not afraid of them, but felt that it was completely boring to attract people to hold grudges without any trouble.

Originally, foreign affairs and national policies were just for the sake of the entire Tang Dynasty. It was not him who benefited from him, Xue Chongxun, so why did he take the blame alone?

Anyway, there is no place for these young people to know about the decision-making process within the Tang court, and they cannot determine who is in it.

Therefore, Xue Chongxun planned to pretend to be innocent and push the responsibility to the entire court.

Although he stood up to remind his mother that day in Zichen Hall, the understatement did not mean anything; and Zhang Jiancheng did not know him, and it was his first time meeting.

At that time, there were so many people talking in the palace, and he probably didn't pay attention to who it was.

Xue Chongxun is not particularly good at acting, but fortunately he doesn't need to act for a long time.

Moreover, when he first started performing, the appearance of Brother Bin Li Shouli appeared in his mind. Haha, there was a foolish lord who had seen himself to learn, so it would be easier to pretend with reference.

So when Xue Chongxun met with the envoy, he deliberately bowed his back and occasionally made some meaningless and strange movements with his hands, which seemed not very steady, and it was not too excessive and could achieve a certain suggestive effect, which was just right.

Seeing this, the staff standing beside him had already guessed eight points and couldn't help but quietly show a funny expression.

After Zhang Jiancheng exchanged greetings, his faint gaze swept across the face of the staff on the side of the seat and clasped his fists and said: I have heard of the prince's name for a long time, and I can finally see the prince's appearance today, which is a blessing in my life.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: "You are so serious, you are so serious, haha... By the way, the gem I sent back to you is still beautiful, right?"

Zhang Jiancheng was stunned. This was his first time dealing with Xue Chongxun. He was not very adapted to Xue Chongxun's straightforward expression style and was confused for a while.

Xue Chongxun said: It is impolite to come but not go. I dare not take advantage of you. When the court discussed, it was not very satisfied with Nanzhao's request. I was naturally ashamed of my failure to help.Next time you come to Chang'an to bring some local specialties. Things that are too valuable are suspected of being bribed. Do you think so?

After hearing this, Zhang Jiancheng widened his eyes and said something and didn't know how to answer.

Xue Chongxun was a little happy when he saw his expression. He blocked this guy's mouth with just one sentence. If everything was clear, you should finish talking nonsense and get out.

After a while, Zhang Jiancheng said: What the prince said is very true, because I am not careful, and I didn’t consider that the prince is famous all over the world and is very considerate of being a person who cherishes his reputation.In fact, we were just a little bit of attention and had no other plans. The prince was really too careful.

Xue Chongxun smiled all over his face, too lazy to talk to him, and just said with a smile: I will accept my wishes, just don’t give me money.

The prince does not like money but only likes local products. He is truly elegant and disrespectful.We just happened to bring some local products with us, so I will offer you this, please accept it with a smile.

After saying that, Zhang Jiancheng clapped his hands and turned around and shouted, asking someone to lift it up.

After a while, I saw a few people carrying two big boxes to the hall. Looking at the appearance of those Lifu, we can tell that the things in the box are still quite large.

Xue Chongxun looked at him curiously, not knowing what it was...

You can't hold two boxes of stones produced in Nanzhao, right?

He doesn't think it's stone, but it may be gold, silver and jewelry: I'm not moved by a box, give me two boxes?

Open.With the order of Zhang Jiancheng, the follower opened the box.

At this moment, a beautiful girl in a tight black dress stood up inside!

Xue Chongxun was also surprised to be stunned. The people around him were also attracted by the eyes and looked at the girl in the box curiously.

Although the girl is also an oriental with yellow skin, dark eyes and dark hair, you can see at a glance that her appearance is different from the Han people, and she has a foreign flavor. Obviously, the one who comes to offer carefully selected beautiful women.

The clothing is different from the Han people. They wear black long clothes, which is probably the young men's clothing of Wuman women. Their hair is not combed into some exquisite hairstyles like Han women, but is naturally hanging on their shoulders. The hair accessories without carvings are somewhat modern.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun was also lustful and was quite moved. It was obvious that Zhang Jiancheng grabbed his lustful preference...

But there is obviously little hope for him to influence the direction of the government because of beauty. He only needs as many good-looking women as he wants. Why bother?

Another one is also open.Zhang Jianchengdao.

So the follower opened the box behind... Everyone was just surprised, but at this time they were already a little surprised!

It turned out that there was another beautiful girl inside...

Obviously, this alone cannot amaze the staff. What they were amazed was that the second girl looked exactly the same as the girl in black, and there was no way to distinguish it. The only difference was that the one behind her was wearing a short white skirt.

Everyone thought to themselves: They must be twins.

Twins who are both beautiful and identical are indeed rare things that are hard to find.

The white short skirt worn by the girl in white is very short and is less than her knees long. I heard that Baiman women wear this way.

Xue Chongxun was a little puzzled that women of this era were so exposed, and weren’t they worried that there would be danger if they exposed their bare legs?

Although there are women in Chang'an who wear flat breasts and expose their breasts, they are limited to noble ladies and singing girls. Women from ordinary families cannot wear that.

The city of the Tang Dynasty was a relatively civilized place and was very stable. The noble ladies and singing girls dressed like that, but they didn’t have to worry too much, just to please men.

The girl in black clothes came out of the box, but unexpectedly the long clothes were tight and unable to move. When she stepped out of the box, she was unsteady and was about to fall. Nanzhao's follower was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed her hand. With the help of the girl finally stood firm.

At this moment, Zhang Jiancheng suddenly pulled out a scimitar from his arms, and the light of the sword flashed and everyone was shocked.

However, there is no danger when Xue Chongxun sat high on it. Even so, Sanniang, who was standing beside her, stepped forward and reached out and placed her hand on the handle of the short sword around her waist, waiting for it.

Then he heard a delicate scream. When everyone looked closely, they saw the girl in black-clothed wrist bleeding and her broken hand fell on the floor.

Xue Chongxun slapped the handrail and said furiously: Bold!He dared to draw his sword in the lonely palace and hurt people!

After a angrily shout, a clang of metal friction sounds, and a group of guards in armor rushed in with weapons.

Zhang Jiancheng was still stable and said without changing his face: The prince forgives the crime. The man who had just touched the hand of the "Big Man" should be cut off.This is a gift to the prince, how can someone else touch it?
