"Who is this person?" Tang Ping approached Huoba Quyen and asked.
"This is the son of the leader of Silla Kingdom, Jin Minjun."
Tang Ping was about to nod, but he didn't expect Huoba Quyen to add: "The leader of the Silla Kingdom has been asking the Khan for marriage on his behalf."
No wonder, in the eyes of ordinary people, Jin Minjun is considered tall and straight, but here in Tang Ping, he looks like a crooked melon with cracked dates.
Moreover, he is obviously from Silla, but he wears the same clothes as the scholars of the Tang Dynasty. The Turkic sky is quite cold, and he still shakes a fan in the cold wind. Isn't it pretentious?
At this time, Jin Minjun had already come to Gu Xiaotang's side, and actually said in a somewhat resentful tone: "Khan knew that the person I admired most was Ping Guogong, why didn't he inform me? I still knew about Ping Guogong last night. The Turks are coming, hurry up and hurry up to get here."
As he spoke, he looked around and saw Tang Ping holding Gu Wangping, coming over to greet him with a face of joy: "Jin Minjun has met Duke Ping!"
"You're welcome!" Tang Ping said coldly.
He is already thinking about his own woman. Tang Ping would not look down upon such a person!
Who would have thought that Jin Minjun seemed completely unaware of Tang Ping's cold face and shouted directly: "Come here, bring me the gift I brought to Duke Ping."
Then he raised his eyebrows at Gu Xiaotang: "I also brought some food that Khan likes to eat."
Tang Ping sighed in his heart, who doesn't know that our Gu Xiaotang's favorite food is chocolate. I'm afraid that your place in Silla doesn't even know how to make kimchi now, so you brought her favorite food?
Soon several carriages were brought over. Everything else was fine, but there were actually several women sitting on the carriages.
However, Jin Minjun said with a proud look on his face: "Pingguo Gong, this is the best Silla maid I have chosen for you."
Tang Ping was about to explode on the spot. Finally, my two wives seemed to be in peace, and the fire in the backyard was extinguished. But it would be better for you to give me a woman as soon as you come here. What do you mean?
Perhaps Gu Xiaotang could see Tang Ping's unhappiness, and whispered quickly beside him: "Now the Northeast Houjunji occupies the former Beiyan territory, has huge power, and has connected with Baekje and Goguryeo. The Tang Dynasty still needs Silla to contain it." Hou Jun gathers their strength.”
"These Silla maids can just stay here in Turks."
You must know that Hou Junji has been nominally the Chief Protector of Beiyan Protectorate in recent years, but this year he used the snow disaster in Beiyan to withhold even the taxes from Beiyan that he won and sent back to Chang'an. It is said that it is actually completely independent.
The entire Beiyan is almost the area in the three eastern provinces of northern Hebei and the Turks in Inner Mongolia.
The Chaoxian Peninsula on the other side was still the territory of Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo at this time.
Silla is considered to be the country with the best relationship with the Tang Dynasty. Mainly because they are the weakest among them, so they can only hold on to the Tang Dynasty.
And historically, it was by embracing the Tang Dynasty that Silla relied on the power of the Tang Dynasty to destroy the two countries Baekje and Goguryeo in the seventh century, and then took advantage of the decline of the Tang Dynasty to conquer the country. The Tang forces were expelled from the Chaox Peninsula and finally completed the unification of the central and southern Chaox Peninsula areas.
In addition, Jin Minjun only chatted a few words with Gu Xiaotang after he arrived, and then kept getting close to Tang Ping.
It is said that you should not hit someone with a smiling face, but Tang Ping was really not easy to get angry.
It was almost noon, and Jin Minjun said with a smile: "Khan knows that the person I respect the most is Duke Ping. Today, please let me borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and then the Turks will entertain Duke Ping to express my respect."
Jin Minjun's posture was so low, as if he was always accompanying him when he spoke, and Tang Ping was not the owner here, so he could only look at Gu Xiaotang.
As he said just now, Gu Xiaotang had to consider Silla's status and role in this area, so he agreed.
Jin Minjun happily asked his servants to take care of things, and Gu Xiaotang finally had the opportunity to talk to his son.
Gu Wangping lay next to her ear and whispered something to her, which made her eyes suddenly burst into tears, and then she hugged Gu Wangping tightly into her arms.
After a long while, Gu Xiaotang, who finally calmed down a little, came to Tang Ping, bowed and said, "Thank you Duke Ping for being willing to accept Quan Zi as his apprentice and teach him his skills."
Tang Ping looked at her and realized that this woman had become a Turkic Khan in the past few years, but her cultural level had not improved much!
Can we say that our son is a dog? But for the sake of face, I had no choice but to say no.
Then Gu Xiaotang stood up and said in a low voice: "Then Jin Minjun came to propose marriage, but I explicitly rejected him, so don't think too much about it." Tang Ping grinned after hearing this, and then laughed and said: "Hey, no, no, No, I’m not that stingy.”
Gu Xiaotang suppressed his laughter and did not expose him. Huo Ba Gui Nhen had just said that he had told Tang Ping about it. No wonder Tang Ping didn't like Jin Minjun when he saw him for the first time.
It's obvious that he is being petty, but he still doesn't admit it!
The banquet started soon, and it was really nothing.
If most people’s modern impression of Bangguo’s cuisine is only kimchi and that military pot, then in the Tang Dynasty, Silla had no delicious food to speak of.
So the so-called banquet is just the same thing, barbecue!
The cumin and chili peppers used for barbecue are all grown by Datang in recent years and sold to them.
??????????????????It was okay a few years ago, but if people in Chang'an used such barbecue to entertain distinguished guests in recent years, they would be laughed at.
Fortunately, Tang Ping was not picky, and Jin Minjun was so enthusiastic, so he took his seat.
Even the wine at the banquet was sold by the Tang family, which almost gave Tang Ping the feeling of having a barbecue at home.
Jin Minjun came over with a wine glass and said: "Last year, I represented Silla and went to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, I was acquainted with Duke Heping. At that time, we were very happy with Mr. Li Bai, a disciple of Duke Heping."
Tang Ping said perfunctorily: "I've never heard him mention this."
"Actually, Mr. Li Bai has quite a relationship with our Silla." Jin Minjun said proudly.
"Oh? Why?" Tang Ping was curious. He knew that Li Bai was obviously from Yizhou, that is, from Yizhou. How could he still be related to Silla?
"Mr. Li Bai and Bae Swordsman once visited Silla and lived in Silla for a long time, so I think Mr. Li Bai can be regarded as at least half a Silla man. Today I met Ping Guogong, and I also want to invite Ping Guo. My father-in-law is going to stay with us in Silla."
Jin Minjun looked attentive, and Tang Ping finally understood why he always felt uncomfortable just now.
Now think about it, in modern times, Chinese people still clamor that Li Bai is from their country. Could it be that this is where he came from?
Looking at Jin Minjun's appearance, he didn't look a bit embarrassed when he said that Li Bai was half Silla!
Is the habit of stealing things passed down from ancestors?
