Lu Dongzan forced himself to stand up from the recliner and walked weakly to his side, his face looking very ugly.
"If you don't recuperate in Guanyi, why would you go out and cause trouble?"
…
It was so gibbering that no one except Fan Tongyi could understand it.
Goguryeo's great opponent Lu Yuan Gaisu Wen interrupted the other party, "Wait a minute, the prime minister should let us all listen to the interrogation."
Lu Dongzan frowned and said, "Can you all understand Tubo dialect?"
"The Prime Minister can speak Tang dialect."
"But my subordinates don't speak Tang dialect."
Lao Jiu quickly shouted: "We, Mr. Fan, can understand. If you say something, we, Mr. Fan, will interpret it, so that you don't have to hold a small meeting and confess in front of us."
People from other countries started shouting, "Yes, this is a good idea. Let the interpreter come."
Lu Dongzan shouted angrily: "The truth is that he is the Prime Minister of Tubo. The envoy to the Tang Dynasty this time is not the criminal you are asking for a confession!"
Baekje Prince Buyeo Yiji mocked: "Your subordinates are causing trouble. Maybe it's you, the prime minister, who caused the trouble. If we don't make it clear, today will not be over."
Yeon Gaesumun waved his hand and held down Fuyu Yiji, "Prime Minister, what do you mean?"
Lu Dongzan said solemnly: "We are all here as envoys and have equal status. Since there is a dispute now, it should be decided by the master's family."
He knew that this deception would not pass, so he could only pinch his nose and change someone to take charge. After all, the people of Goguryeo and the people of Baekje were in the same group.
Yeon Gaesumun turned to look at the guards watching the excitement at Honglu Temple. The leader, Lao Jiu, waved his hands and said, "We are just a group of guards, but we can't solve the case."
"Then go and invite the chief official of Honglu Temple to come over." Yeon Gaesumun scolded.
Lao Jiu told his subordinates to keep an eye on him and not let anyone leave. He personally ran to call Liu Jinyuan to take charge.
"Mr. Liu, they sent me to invite you to host it. Haha, you don't know, the two sides are really fighting this time..."
Listening to Lao Jiu's exaggeration, Liu Jinyuan smiled slightly and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Not long after, they arrived at the scene. Yeon Gaesumun wanted to step forward to speak, but Liu Jinyuan asked: "What? Goguryeo was also involved in this matter?"
Yeon Gaesumun shook his head and said, "No, I just bumped into him and wanted to give him some advice."
Liu Jinyuan said with a straight face: "Since you have not participated, please just stand aside and watch. The matter happened in Honglu Temple, and I will handle it impartially."
you……
Yeon Gaesumun was the most powerful official in Goguryeo, so he had the final say? Now he is being ignored by a sixth-grade official in the Tang Dynasty? I couldn't help but feel angry, but I could only watch the other party walk to the center of the field.
Liu Jinyuan waved his hands and said: "Everyone, Tang Qing is ill and resting at home. I am on duty at Honglu Temple today. If you have any matters, you can explain to me. We will discuss it and resolve it. Don't take action."
The prince of Baekje said dissatisfied: "Mr. Liu, don't be nagging, we have already taken action. Please come and judge how to solve it."
"Oh? Have you already taken action? What happened? Can you two explain it in detail?"
So, in front of everyone, Liu Jinyuan interrogated the matter from beginning to end, and the subordinates on the Tibetan side did not hide it, and admitted the fact that they were talking and swearing behind their backs.
The prince of Baekje was unreasonable and said, "Look, look? What did this prince say? It was he who stirred up trouble in Tibet in the first place. Our people are protecting their own reputation. Is this right? Prime Minister Ludong praised you. What can you say?”
The Tibetan deputy envoy said angrily: "What else can you say? You beat us and ask us for an explanation? Is there anything like this in the world?"
"That's because you should fight! Could it be that after you have discussed it behind your back, you can go over and grab our territory?"
Fan Tongyi provided commentary for both parties throughout the process. When the Baekje prince heard these words, the Tibetan guards immediately exploded. They all stood up with their seriously injured bodies and shouted: "That was our territory in the first place. You should let us out! Why do you let us live in this firewood courtyard with air leakage everywhere?"
The people of Baekje also shouted angrily: "We live well, why should we make room for you? You live well, why do you go to Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty? What does it have to do with us?"
People on both sides just ignored their injuries and began to curse each other in the distance.
Liu Jinyuan shouted sternly: "That's enough! Shut up!"
Lao Jiu and others stopped the two parties and began to maintain order.
Goguryeo leader Lu Yuan Gaisu Wen looked at the excitement and asked with a smile: "Mr. Liu, the facts have been clarified. Now that everyone is here, it depends on how you handle it impartially. If this is handled unfairly, If everyone is not convinced, we will go to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for comment."
Liu Jinyuan snorted in his heart, thought for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "I have figured out the matter. The cause turned out to be a dispute over the residence? How ridiculous!"
Um? absurd? Why is this ridiculous? Where did this begin?
Everyone looked at Liu Jinyuan in confusion.
Liu Jinyuan said solemnly: "The courtyard of Tubo accidentally caught fire, and we need to rearrange our accommodation. However, the conditions of Honglu Temple are limited, and only a simple firewood courtyard is left."
Prince Baekje snorted coldly: "Then let's arrange it at Chaihuoyuan. Who doesn't know the first-come, first-served rule?"
Lu Dongzan ignored it and waited for Liu Jinyuan's next words.
Liu Jinyuan nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed a first-come, first-served rule. But this is Honglu Temple, not a folk market. The rules for reception at Honglu Temple are based on the country's strength and influence, as well as the closeness of friendship with the Tang Dynasty. , to sort and allocate residence and treatment.”
"According to our ranking, among the many envoys coming this time, Tubo was ranked third and Baekje was ranked fifth."
The prince of Baekje was dissatisfied, "Why should Tubo be ranked in front of us, Baekje? Are they stronger than us, Baekje? Not necessarily, look at this fighting competition, we, Baekje, are the winners!"
Chief Liu smiled, but said nothing, neither explaining nor distinguishing. Instead, he glanced at the envoys from other countries.
In the end, the deputy envoy of the Western Turks stood up and said, "If we rank our strength in terms of land area, then our Western Turks should be the largest in terms of area. But in terms of military performance, Goguryeo is a powerful country that can compete with the Tang Dynasty. We admit that it is not inferior, so we Recognize second place.”
"As for the three of you who are in danger? Tubo is in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang is in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, and Baekje is in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. They have never fought against each other, and they have never fought against the Tang Dynasty. It is not easy to compete in terms of strength. I think they are directly based on the territory. The strength and weakness of area divisions.”
"Mr. Liu, do you know if what I said is right?"
Liu Jinyuan clapped his hands and praised: "Yes, the Western Turks ambassador is sensible. We have indeed made such a reasonable arrangement. It is reasonable to follow. If anyone is dissatisfied, he can go to the court to argue with the person who made the rules. We are only the executors of the rules. Big What do you think about Lu?"
Yeon Gaesumun nodded slowly, "I have no objection."
Goguryeo has no objections. Baekje dares to explode?
Liu Jinyuan continued: "Since Tubo is ranked third, doesn't it make sense to let people live in the courtyard with the worst environment? So we can only follow the rules and ask Baekje, which is the weakest, to move to a place and feel aggrieved. "
Prince Baekje said angrily: "Hey, why? Don't you say it's first come, first served?"
