Chapter 23 Reward

Xue Chongxun is not busy at ordinary times, but he still has to come forward in person for some things, just like the Tuyuhun sent a messenger this time, and he received it.

The exchanges between Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty were barely considered diplomatic relations. He had nothing to do with it. The reason in the situation was that diplomatic power was the power of the central government, and local governments had no right to diplomacy.

However, the Xianbei people (Tuyuhun) exchanged letters of state through envoys living in Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty court. To repair the relationship, it really needed to integrate with the officials on the border.

Not long ago, the Tuyuhun envoy from Chang'an wrote a letter to the court to ask for peace talks, and maybe he wanted to marry a royal family in the Tang Dynasty to consolidate his relationship...

Unfortunately, in the huge organization of the Tang Dynasty, the process from formulating national policies to implementing specific implementation was a very troublesome process: first, the prime minister must coordinate the interests of all parties, and then write a letter to the emperor (now the power is in the hands of Princess Taiping). After the palace approval, it must be implemented in a concrete way through the provinces and ministries. After a hundred years of evolution, the relationship between the three provinces and six ministries of the Tang Dynasty has changed a lot and is very complicated.

After writing the memorials in Tuyuhun, Princess Taiping did not want to finish all the memorials, but usually reached the hands of those bureaucrats.

When people saw it, they said: Didn’t the matter of Tuyuhun have been dealt with? The solution was to grant Duke Wei Xue Chongxun the general manager of Fuqidao’s army.

The government orders issued just now will naturally not be changed easily.

So he planned to issue a memorial and deal with it: let the Ministry of Rites reply to the letter.

Chang'an has a large number of people with smooth writing styles, such as Ning Yan, military service rest... The parallel sentence is written in one go, probably because our country has always adhered to the principle of peaceful coexistence to continuously develop good-neighborly and friendly relations, and stamped and handed over it.

This Chinese book is quite irrelevant. There are hundreds of thousands of people fighting on the border on a large scale, and you are friendly to your sister.

Come on, it’s not a matter of one or two to repair the relationship.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty had just won the battle, but Tuyu was in a hurry and lost a large area of ​​land along the Yellow River. There was news that the Tang army was going to plunder around the West Sea to further attack the enemy's strength.

The war has to continue, but the Tubo, the sect leader, had already run away. Is there any chance for the Tuyuhun people to fight against the Tang Dynasty alone on the Eastern Front?

After the cattle and sheep were robbed, the seedlings were destroyed, will everyone starve to death?

So the Murong family and the powerful minister Fu Lu couldn't wait to send a messenger to deliver the letter. Two groups of people delivered the letter to the Jiedushi Cheng Qianli and the Fuqidao marching chief Xue Chongxun.

The main content of this letter is a gift list. Cheng Qianli certainly did not accept the order before giving money, and said he could not control the matter.

Xue Chongxun took the letter and arranged the envoy to stay in the hike, saying that he would reply to the letter and let them take it back. The envoy naturally stayed happily when he heard that there was a chance.

Serve with pen and ink.

Xue Chongxun unfolded a piece of white paper folded into a long lattice and shouted.

This is also a little habit of him. When writing, he is accustomed to folding the paper, just like a series of grids to make the article neat.

Are you calling me?Bai Qimei, known as Bai Wuchang, looked around and looked around.Xue Chongxun is working in the signing room, and she is stuck here and spending time.

She said a little unhappy: She is quite arrogant, but I will tell you that I will not obey your orders.

She saw that there was no one else here except the Xu Man who was running errands, and she came up to grind the ink, and said, "But it depends on your performance. If you amused me, I feel relieved and I will naturally be happy to serve you."

Xue Chongxun picked up the brush and dipped it gently in Yantai: I see that your shelf is bigger than mine, but you are bored and asked you to do something, right?

Bai Qimei looked at Xue Chongxun's letter curiously and laughed: Your word is written... I really dare not make people compliment Ah.

Xue Chongxun said depressedly: Authentic regular script is easy to read and read.

I heard that Xue Lang went to see him off for a bride last time, but he was arrested by the Tuyuhun people and spent a total of 150,000 yuan to redeem it. Are you writing a letter to them to reminisce about the past?

Xue Chongxun said: I admit defeat to them last time. This time, I have to knock back the capital and profit!

At this time, a Xu Fu was walking in with the saucer under the teacup in both hands. He was careful but splashed out the tea and made him grin and cry. Seeing Xue Chongxun looking up, Xu Fu hurriedly said: "I was so drunk that I was too full."

Xue Chongxun had no intention of blame, but said lightly: Don’t stare at the cup, look straight ahead.

After a while, Xu Fu put the teacup on the desk and said happily: The method that Gong Ming said is really effective!How did you know this kind of trivial matter?

Pay more attention and you will know. Let's go down.Xue Chongxun waved.

Bai Qimei looked at him with a smile, not wanting Xue Lang to be so meticulous and understand the work of a slave. When will you serve me, don’t learn nothing to use.

I think you want to go up to the house and uncover the tiles.Xue Chongxun cursed casually while writing, but it was useless. Bai Qimei was still smiling.

At this moment, Wang Changling came again. He glanced at the girl beside him and said seriously: How can the lord reply to the letter? Is it necessary to accept Murong's gift list?

Xue Chongxun shook his head: You can't ask for this money.

Wang Changling breathed a sigh of relief and said: What the lord said is very true. If you accept money, the Censorate will not impeach and accept bribes and treasons, they will be dereliction of duty. Even if the lord will not be punished, it will damage his reputation.

I have a reputation?

Xue Chongxun was puzzled when he heard this.

At this time, Bai Qimei said again: This man looks like he is only in his teenage years old, but he is so boring. Look at Xue Lang, uncle is not so old-fashioned.

Wang Changling said seriously: This is the subordinate of Duke Yuwen, and I shouldn't have been in charge of it. But the place where the house for the detention room is to deal with government affairs is not the place where the women should come?Please check it out!

Bai Qimei immediately said coldly: Huo!What a big hat. According to you, I am a girl and I can’t even come to the small prefecture and county signing room. Wouldn’t it be a big mistake for Xue Lang’s biological mother, His Highness Taiping, to sit on the temple?Next time I see Your Highness and say in front of her that you can ask her to comment. Are you still right?

Wang Changling made a speech, stunned and speechless.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun smiled and said: "Young Master is talking about the right reason. She told you the wrong reason. You can't tell her... I can't accept the money given by Murong. I'm not afraid of impeachment. I don't want the real money and silver. Can I just embezzle the treasury? How much do you think you're going to send money to Chang'an?But this time they gave me a small amount of money. By the way, it is a weak person to eat people, and if I am greedy for this small advantage, it will be difficult for me to fight for greater benefits in the future.

What else Wang Changling wanted to say? A Xu servant outside the door reported: General Li Yi, the general under the governor of Cheng Jie, handed over a famous letter to meet Ming Gong.

Xue Chongxun passed it on to enter.After a while, Li Yi, who was honest and honest, came in and said after the ceremony: When the Jiedushi heard that Duke Wei was hospitalized with Tuyuhun, he sent me a few words.

how?Xue Chongxun frowned.

Li Yisu was good at observing his expressions. Seeing that Xue Chongxun's face was unwilling, he looked like he didn't hit him with a smile and said: From the envoy, my envoy is the governor, you are the sect, and he can control you; but from the perspective of military power, you are now the general manager of the Fu Shidao Army, and he is a logician, so it is not convenient to ask about this matter.Therefore, the Jiedushi sent me here mostly for private advice.Since the imperial court set up an ambush and road, it must be considered to completely conquer Tuyuhun. Perhaps soon, the Tuyuhun people attached to Lingzhou will be migrated to the Nine Curves of the Yellow River to shed their horses and reset the barrier line against Tubo west of Longyou. At that time, the safety of the eastern line can be guaranteed without spending one soldier.At this time, if the Wei State privately discuss peace with the Xianbei people who were servants of Tubo, it would be a big mistake if you don’t have the right to do this, and you will be dissatisfied with the Political Affairs Hall?

Xue Chongxun said: The Murong family in the Xihai area has no way out and can only surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Why do you need to mobilize people to move to the Xianbei people in the inner world?We have experienced the intention of the center. No matter what method we use, just achieve the same goal, isn’t it enough?

Li Yi said: The Jiedushi said that the Xianbei nobles in the old Tuyuhun area had a close relationship with Tubo, and they were unreliable!The best way is to take advantage of the victory and completely eliminate it, so that the Xianbei people in Lingzhou can restore their original land to their foundation.The Khan King Noh Zhong, whose mother was Princess Honghua of the Tang Dynasty. The clan members had already sincerely surrendered for decades. Moving him to the former land of Tuyuhun was a long-term plan.

ha!To be reliable, as long as they still maintain the habits of nomadic people, it is impossible to be completely reliable.How can a warrior guard all directions?The national security of our Han people ultimately depends on ourselves and don’t count on others.

Xue Chongxun laughed and said, "I have my own plans. Chang'an will be satisfied with my approach at that time. You can go back and tell Duke Cheng not to worry... The massacre of the city and the genocide is a fascist. Well, it is the thing that the barbarians do, and it is useless; but it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter. Just make people praise others and say a few good words, that is a fat man. Should we learn from Emperor Yang of Sui to hang silk on the tree?"The best way to foreigners is to "appreciate", but the interests that we should exploit as superpowers must never be spared.No matter how sweet they say, when you are strong, you will be one father and one humble minister. When the luck is not good, who will be the one who is fucking you?

When Li Yi heard this, he had already made up his mind about it, and it was not a casual thing to do. It was useless to say more about the situation at the moment, so he folded his fists and said goodbye to go back and say a reply.

After Li Yi and Wang Changling left, Bai Qimei smiled and said: His handwriting is so poor, he scolded his father and mother when he speaks. I really don’t know how you become an official.

You don't understand what I say is the truth, and those who speak all the time also quote scriptures, but always think about asking nomads to help guard the country's countrymen. In the end, they are beaten to the ground and are all over for teeth. That is the gentleness of the floor.

Xue Chongxun picked up the Tuyuhun people's letters and looked at them. The Chinese characters on them were written in a decent manner. He said thoughtfully, "It's not that this word is so elegant, right?"

Bai Qimei also came to see it, but when she saw the gifts listed above, she forgot the word "pin" and murmured, "There are so many treasures!"

Xue Chongxun nodded and said: I have to collect two things in my reply, and it is reasonable to think that it is for personal affection. I have some personal relationships with Murong... What do you like?

Bai Qimei was surprised and blinked her beautiful and clear big eyes and said in confusion: What are you asking me?

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: Didn’t you be happy to serve you?Besides, you took the risk to help me with your business last time, and I didn’t seem petty at all.I borrowed flowers to offer this kind of thing to Buddha, but I didn't bleed and got a beautiful woman smiled. Why not do it?

He has no sincerity at all and wants to use other people's things as favors.Bai Qimei said with a straight face.

Things from Gentiles are treasures from foreign lands, so forget it if you don’t.I also avoid worrying about being found out and being scolded.

Bai Qimei hurriedly held the order and glared: Who said she didn’t want it?Your words are called ‘No, don’t do it’!

She hurriedly focused on the names, one or two night pearls?How big is that Ah!Silk-wrapped agate, flame stone...it's enough to collect it all!

You can only have the same thing, but don't be too greedy.Xue Chongxun said, choose your favorite one.

Bai Qimei pouted and said: I like the most expensive ones, but I don’t know which ones are expensive.

Xue Chongxun: ...

At this time, Bai Qimei suddenly asked: But you said you wanted to take two things from someone else, why can I choose one?

Xue Chongxun said: Of course, I have to give you the same thing, otherwise I will not be happy to give you the only one. She will definitely be unhappy when she finds out. Maybe she will still hold a grudge against you. I am thinking about you.

Bai Qimei looked at him with a smile: You haven’t forgotten the sweet girl in the room. She is very nice to her, but I don’t know how long it will take?

You can see it when you wait and see it. Could it be that you have fallen in love with me and you will promise me to accept you in the room?Xue Chongxun said casually with a smile.

Is Xue Lang still reluctant?After saying that, Bai Qimei took a walk around and didn't look at her face. Where can you find her?

Xue Chongxun laughed shortly: You won’t underestimate yourself at all.

After laughing, he looked up and down for a moment. He saw Bai Qimei wearing white clothes and pure skin that looked as silk as snow. She was really a beautiful girl, even more so than the actress who played the role of a Jade Girl. But she was as disguised as a Jade Girl. Bai Qimei’s pure appearance was not pure at all.

He said in a half-joking tone: You are used to wildness. If I really take you into the room, I am afraid you can't stand those dull and boring days.

Bai Qimei hugged his arm with a smile: Xue Lang, I can calm down. Think about how bored the Taoist nun Yuqing is, and how boring she is in Shangqing Temple in Luoyang. In addition to the boring place of a group of Taoist priests pretending to be magic, I haven't felt bored there for several months.Can Xue Lang be more dull than Yuqing Taoist nun?

Xue Chongxun said seriously: After all, this is a signing house. Don’t let go and get married. The officials are too disrespectful to see it.

Bai Qimei immediately let go of her hand, pressed her jade hand to her heart, and looked timid: Oh, I'm so scared, the yamen are all officials and constables, I have done so many crimes, what should they do to arrest me?

She gently pressed her fingers, and the full chest without a bra was pressed by her fingers with a round contour, with an elastic and soft shape that immediately attracted Xue Chongxun's gaze.

Seeing this, Bai Qimei looked down and immediately understood his thoughts. She said in a coquettish voice: Do you want to touch it?

Xue Chongxun nodded without hesitation.

She said seriously: But this place is a signing house after all, so don’t let go and give in and not to be close to each other. The officials are too disrespectful to see it.

Xue Chongxun: ...

She changed her mind and said: But, I'll think of a way for you and tell you quietly.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly came over, and she gently blew the fragrance in her ear. You used the excuse to go out to do business and go out in the carriage. I dressed up as a tramper to protect you, and then get into your car... Do you understand?

Xue Chongxun said happily: This plan is great.He immediately threw down his unfinished letter and put his brush on the inkstone, how could he care about any official and private affairs?

They took their men and horses, got on the pine felt cart left by the sophisticated former governor and walked straight out of the yamen. When the groom asked where he was going, Xue Chongxun said directly: Go wherever he was secluded.

After leaving the state yamen, it is Zhouqian Street. In the middle of winter, the center of the street is covered with snow and broken ice. If people do not need to stay warm at home, there are not many people outside.

Most of the houses are closed, and a thick cotton curtain is hung at the doors of those shops, making Shanzhou City look a little depressed.

Before Xue Chongxun could not wait for the carriage to go far, he began to untie his belt. Bai Qimei whispered: What are you doing?

What did you say to do?Do what you said naturally.

Bai Qimei's innocent face was extremely innocent: What did I say?Xue Chongxun swallowed: Don’t go back on your word.

Bai Qimei held his hand and said: This is his first time, is he going to be in this broken car...

Xue Chongxun was stunned: What's the first time, I don't believe it at all!You have shown up in the world and seen countless men, but can you still stay until now?

Anyone who dares to touch my finger will take his life!Bai Qimei said angrily.

Xue Chongxun said: I have touched you several times, you won’t be bad for me, right?

Bai Qimei's face became faster than Mayday, and she said charmingly: Xue Lang is different. If I like him, of course I will not harm him.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: Even if the rose has thorns, I am not afraid. But since you don’t want to do business in this felt truck, what should we do?

For the sake of your gift to me, of course I will reward you.

A blush appeared on Bai Qimei's face, and she said in a small voice as if flapping her wings by a mosquito, "I, Bai Wuchang, keep my word, and I am more trustworthy than that of a beard. I replied to you... Have you not forgotten?"

She said as she was breathing, turned around and checked the tightly sealed car windows and curtains, her chest undulating and whispered: Reward you, not only let you touch there, but also let you...

Xue Chongxun stared at her with wide eyes. Seeing this, she pouted and said: What?Don't want to think it's dirty?
