Chapter forty-six

"Foreign minister Shang Zanduo bowed to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Shang Zanduo bowed and bowed, making a lot of etiquette, and his respectful expression reflected the admiration of Tubo, the uncle's country's great respectful country, for the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing Pei Min's words yesterday, Li Longji also realized that the thieves and wolves of foreign countries should not be trusted easily. They would not retreat because of their politeness and tolerance, but would become more greedy. Now the Tang Dynasty is indeed not suitable for war, and they do not want to deal with this military affairs. But if they really want to fight, they are not afraid. For this reason, Li Longji is not so concerned about Shang Zandu, the group of Tubo envoys, and does not receive them personally. He directly asked the Ministry of Rites to entertain him with state guests. However, he did not expect Shang Zandu to come to the door to meet him unexpectedly.

Li Longji said calmly: "The messenger is exempt from gifts. I wonder if the messenger can have fun today?"

"The Tang Dynasty's outstanding people and spirits compete for their youth, and the foreign ministers were dazzled and reluctant to leave." Shang Zanduo, as an envoy between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, had a very good cultural level and was not inferior to the world's most learned people. All kinds of idioms were casually unhappy. His expression was very longing for, but in fact he was extremely unhappy. Today, the Ministry of Rites arranged for them to visit Dacien Temple and raft the Qujiang River. Visiting Dacien Temple inevitably wanted to see the Yanta Morning Bell of the Eight Scenerys, and the Big Yanta In Pei

Min's sword book's fame has increased by more than 1 level. Looking at Pei Min's sword book, Shang Zandu remembered what happened last night. If it weren't for Pei Min, why would they have lost such a big face in Tubo? They even lost a talent with high martial arts skills. When they visited Qujiang again, the officials of the Ministry of Rites introduced the history of Qujiang and talked about the Qujiang banquet. Pei Min once again brought it up to the Ministry of Rites. Shang Zandu was full of Pei Min, but it was difficult to show that he didn't like it, so he could only hold it back in his heart.

Li Longji said politely: "Since the messenger likes it, then stay for a few more days."

Shang Zanduo instantly burst into tears, and tears fell down his cheeks.

Li Longji did not expect that Shang Zanduo would have such a change, and asked in surprise: "Why did the outsider cry?"

Shang Zanduo choked up and said, "Looking at the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, I think of my poor Tubo, and the people are not covered in clothes. The grief arises from my heart. I can't help but shed tears. Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Your great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is like the bright moon in the world. Your kindness is as great as your mother. Foreign ministers dared to ask Your Majesty for the suffering people of Tubo to give me Tubo classics and history books, so that my Tubo people can come to admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty; I gave me Tubo agricultural medicine books, so that my Tubo people can not be hungry, and they can be effectively cured when they are sick; I gave me Tubo craftsmen, so that my Tubo people can live in a warm house to avoid the pain of cold and freezing." He said extremely miserable, and he knocked on the ground with great piety, and regarded Li Longji as a saint.

If it were before, Li Longji would have been very moved when facing Shang Zandu's performance as an actor, so he promised his request and gave it to the craftsmen to the books to reflect the kindness of the country of the Celestial Kingdom. However, the walk with Pei Min last night made him realize that Tubo was planning to get a pen before he broke up. Helping them was like a farmer who helped a snake, and he could not get any benefits.

"The foreign historian's words moved me!" Li Longji also sighed with emotion. Looking at Shang Zanduo, who was already secretly happy, the tone of the conversation: "It is just that classics, history books, agricultural and medical books were written by the people of the Tang Dynasty with their hard work. If I give them to you in vain, I will not be able to explain it. In this way, the Tang Dynasty now lacks military horses, and you exchange books with us with military horses. The exchanges between the countries should be taken from each other, and they should benefit each other. What do you think about the foreign ones?"

Shang Zandu couldn't say anything in shock, and said with a stern tongue: "I wonder how His Majesty the Emperor plans to exchange it?"

Li Longji pondered: "Knowledge is priceless and wealth is worthwhile. I will not make things difficult for you. As long as you prepare 100,000 troops and horses, I will give you tens of thousands of books. What should I do if the foreign envoys see?"

Shang Zanduo said, "The outsiders are unable to make a decision on this matter. After going back to discuss with me Zanpu, they are making a decision."

Li Longji smiled and said, "Please wait for the good news!"

Watching Shang Zanduo leave, Gao Lishi chuckled beside him and said, "The barbarians in the country are indeed uneasy."

Li Longji's eyes flashed with a cold light and said, "Did you see it too?"

Gao Lishi said: "Shang Zanduo came to ask for classics and history books at this time, and his purpose should be those books in the General's Mansion. As long as His Majesty is right today, they can mix two types of books together. Books are gifts. No one dares to check them in and out of the Tang Dynasty. They can easily transport all the books to Tubo."

"I'm trampling on the inside and out, and I'm going to be ambitious! I'll never let it go!" Li Longji was angry and murderous intent was everywhere in his eyes.

"hateful!"

Shang Zanduo returned to the Siyi Pavilion, slapped the table in annoyance, and his chest was up and down. Thinking that Li Longji did not play according to the norm today, he was so angry that he shouted: "I, Tubo, will eventually kill this Chang'an one day, so that Li Tang knows that I, Tubo, is the real overlord."

Deputy envoy Lang Chile said beside Yi: "What happened today seems a bit abnormal. We must prepare earlier and send out the books from Yang's mansion as soon as possible."

Speaking of the serious matters, Shang Zanduo calmed down and said, "That's the case, but even more than 20 big trucks can't hold it. How can we send it? Without the cover of Emperor Li Tang, how can we not be suspicious?" Their intentions and Gao Lishi's guess were all under the guise of books given by Li Longji, mixed the precious books Yang Ju collected over the years into it, and brought them back to Tubo with openness.

But now Li Longji rejected their request, the method obviously won't work.

After thinking for a while, Shang Zanduo said: "It's already this point, it's unlikely that you want to bring all 100,000 books back to Tubo. You can find a way to notify General Yang and ask him to choose to sort out books such as construction and technology, medical prescriptions, medical treatises, farming and farming. These miscellaneous studies are the real way to strengthen the country. As for the Confucian theory of distinguishing good and evil, you can temporarily ignore it. Shrink 100,000 books into 100,000 books as much as possible. We are too eye-catching and inconvenient to move. Contact Feng Yuan and ask him to consult the general and ask the general to find a way to transport 100,000 books out of Chang'an. Feng Yuan then arranges people to take over. Remember to increase the reward from the original 30% to 60%. At this time, don't be reluctant to spend money. Knowledge is priceless, and those 10,000 books will benefit me from Tubo endlessly."

Lang Chile took the order and left.

Changshoufang safe house.

Pei Min met Sun Zhou again, and this time they were the only ones, Wang Xiaobai, who was in charge of contact.

Sun Zhou is now the most important piece of victory or defeat in his hands. Pei Min didn't expect Sun Zhou to have any accidents and ruin the overall situation.

"How can it be seen?" Pei Min, with Li Longji's permission, as long as it is true, Tubo has the right to capture it. Now they have nothing to lack, only people are sent to get it.

Sun Zhou said strangely: "Things seem to have changed. Yang Manchu's books on craftsmanship, medical discussions, farming and other books were transported away. I remember Feng Yuan said that he wanted them all, but for some reason, he only had some."

Pei Min naturally knew the reason. In fact, the easiest way to deal with Shang Zandu and Yang Ju was to use the trick. Li Longji could agree to Shang Zandu's request today, and then stop them and search them when Shang Zandu returned to Tubo. The people and stolen goods were captured, which was simple and easy. But doing so only eliminated the power of Tubo in the open face, and the chess pieces in their darkness, that is, the power controlled by Feng Yuan, were still intact.

They wanted to use the power controlled by Feng Yuan to walk a difficult road, and to use Shang Zan's chess pieces from the dark areas in Tubo to turn the dark chess into a bright piece.

I learned that all the most practical miscellaneous books were collected, and Pei Min's eyes turned into crystallization. It was the wisdom and experience accumulated by their ancestors over thousands of years of research. How could the barbarians use this method to steal it?

He said roughly that Sun Zhou was meticulous and thought through the causes and consequences.

Pei Min asked, "Do you know where they hid all those books?"

Sun Zhou shook regretfully and said, "We are all in the Yang family's ancestral home, and they are very careful in doing things. First, they sorted out all 10,000 books based on the excuse that the mansion was not big enough and could not post so many, and transported more than 10,000 books to the ancestral home in the east of the city. I informed Xiaobai to follow him secretly, and now the more than 10,000 books have been moved into the Yang family's ancestral home. The Yang family's ancestral home was abandoned for many days, and only a few maids in charge of daily care. As long as a little arrangement, the 10,000 books will disappear without a trace. The Chief Secretary also asked to send someone to monitor the ancestral home of the Yang family." After a pause, he said, "Even if Yang Ju is counting." The amount has been reduced by ten times, but more than 10,000 books are not a small number. If you want to transport them out of Chang'an, you must have special means. I accidentally found out about it today, but I don't know if it is useful." He didn't keep it a secret and said directly: "Yang Ju packed a flower boat, as if he planned to invite friends to go out for a banquet. Yang Ju is rich and spends money like water, which is well known. But he spends most of his money on women, and rarely invites people to go out for a trip. I have been working in the Yang family for many years, but I heard about it again. So I guessed that they might be planning to send 10,000 books out for a flower boat."

Pei Min pondered for a while and agreed: "Your thinking is very clear and your speculation makes sense. You should not be wrong. Use Qujiang to leave Chang'an, enter the Wei River, and send tens of books out of Chang'an." He thought in his mind: It is true that there are officials in the Wei River cruises and law enforcement, but law enforcement officials are mostly staring at merchant ships, but they are loose about flower ships. If there are some uninformed officials on the flower ship, there is no need to check it. As expected, it is easy to make a decision.

This is just right, which also shows that Yang Ju is only responsible for transportation, and must be responsible for transporting and receiving at the agreed location. There is no doubt that all of them are made in detail in Tubo.
