The court meeting was just an ordinary court meeting. After the court meeting was over, Li Shimin naturally left with Li Chengqian and Li Ke first. Others naturally followed.
I have to say that since the incident in Queen Kingdom, Li Shimin asked Li Ke to take action against Queen Kingdom and Piao Kingdom, and Li Chengqian has been in court. I don’t know if it was because Lao Li told his elder brother about this. .
Li Chengqian even ran over to Li Ke and told him not to take it to heart and resolve external conflicts first.
Li Ke really didn't take it to heart, but his eldest brother's behavior made Li Ke feel shocked. Big brother, you and Aye cooperate well. I have to say that what Jinyang said makes sense. I guess Lao Li really had this idea, and he probably even discussed it with his eldest brother.
Otherwise, how could the two of them cooperate so perfectly?
However, Li Ke naturally pretended not to know about this matter. He couldn't alarm Lao Li and his eldest brother now. When he had straightened out the affairs of Datang, he would take the initiative and avoid others. By then, everything would be over.
Want to be the sixth child? Have you asked me?
This is the same principle as the wife who keeps her expression unchanged after a pound of liquor after marriage, but is drunk and hazy with a bottle of beer before marriage, and it only highlights one performance.
Li Ke and the others went about their own business. Yang Lin and Luo Bai, who were not paying attention, naturally returned to the Honglu Hall quietly. The two of them returned in silence all the way.
They were just two little people, so naturally no one cared about them, and no one talked to them on the road.
After returning to the small courtyard of the Honglu Guild Hall, the two looked at each other, and then they both noticed the wry smile on the other's face.
"I thought such an important matter would be discussed in the court, but I didn't expect that in the Tang Dynasty, such a matter was not even qualified to be discussed in the court." After a long time, Yang Lin spoke with a wry smile.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that, so this is Datang's confidence?" Luo Bai also smiled bitterly.
"Forget it, we have already retired to the official position anyway, and the Tang Dynasty will have nothing to do with us in the future. I wonder, Luo Bai, where do you want to go next?" Yang Lin looked at Luo Bai and asked.
"Me? Didn't I agree to go back to Taiyue Prefecture with you, Mr. Yang Lin? After returning, I will go back to my hometown first. If there is no problem, I would like to move my whole family there and do it with you, Mr. Yang Lin. A neighbor." Luo Bai said with a smile.
"Hahaha, it's settled then. I welcome your arrival." Yang Lin also smiled.
While talking and laughing, the two of them also put aside most of the things in the past. Now everything is gone. If not, they have to put it away. They are ordinary people now.
After the two of them packed their luggage, they were ready to return to Taiyue Prefecture. It was nearly ten thousand miles away from Taiyue Prefecture. If they went back, the fastest way would be by water. Counting waterways, it would probably be 20,000 miles away. .
I don't know when I will have the opportunity to come to Chang'an again. However, if you want to come to Chang'an in the future, you can always come as long as you have money.
After all, they are also from the Tang Dynasty now, aren't they?
But after packing their things, the two of them felt a little sad. After all, the Queen's Kingdom could be said to have perished on their watch.
"Mr. Yang Lin, are we leaving like this?"
"Just leave."
"Why don't you... meet the queen? I heard that she is on her way to Chang'an."
"It's gone. We are already citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and she is also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. In this case, she may not meet us, and what if she does? What can I say? So it's better not to see her." Yang Lin shook his head.
"In that case, let's go."
The two of them took their things and prepared to leave the Honglu Hall directly. Naturally, the few servants they brought with them also wanted to go back with them. They didn't bring many people with them when they came. There were only five long followers in total. After all, the Queen's Kingdom is not that big. For a big country, it’s already good to have five long followers for them.
Now that they brought people here, they naturally have to take them back.
But what they didn't expect was that they had just left Honglu Temple and there was a person waiting outside. When they saw each other, they were both a little surprised because they both knew this person. He was the chamberlain who followed His Highness King Qin. Xu Song.
"I have met the two gentlemen. I am here on the orders of His Highness King Qin." Xu Song said with a smile.
"I've met Chamberlain Xu." The two of them hurriedly saluted.
"This is a letter from His Highness to you two. You can open it and check it after you get on the ship." Xu Song took out two envelopes from his arms and handed them to them.
"Thank you, Chamberlain Xu." Both of them reached out and took it. They didn't know what His Highness wrote to them, but at this time, they naturally wanted to follow it.
After getting the envelope, Xu Song left naturally, and the two of them went directly to the Weihe Wharf in Chang'an without hesitation.
It wasn't until they boarded a caravan ship that no one paid attention to them anymore. After boarding the ship, Yang Lin took out the envelope from his arms and opened the envelope with Luo Bai.
Yang Lin was stunned for a moment after taking something out of the envelope. There was a piece of letter paper and a stack of banknotes in his envelope.
Yang Lin first put the money in his hand aside and opened the letter.
"Mr. Yang Lin personally declares:"
"As a diplomatic envoy, although I am the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty and even this incident happened because of me, I feel the same for you. As a diplomat, the saddest thing is a kind of spiritual loneliness. We are in a foreign country, but we are tasked with seeking benefits for our motherland.”
"Since ancient times, weak countries have no diplomacy. The benefits that cannot be obtained on the battlefield are also impossible to obtain at the negotiation table."
"I sympathize with your experience, but if I had it to do over again, I would still make such a choice. The reason for this is because I want to tell you that joining the Tang Dynasty is the future for the people of the Queen's Kingdom. Since you choose to return to the Queen's Kingdom, Kingdom, then you can wait and see in the Queen’s Kingdom and see whether the people of the Queen’s Kingdom will live a better life in the future.”
"Finally, as former envoys and now people of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will provide each of you with a severance package. You and Mr. Luo Bailang will each receive one thousand guan. In addition, the five ministers around you will each receive a severance package." I have two hundred guan, please pass it on to me."
After reading this simple letter, Yang Lin couldn't describe his emotions for a while. What made him feel most complicated was not the thousand guan severance pay, nor the fact that the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty still remembered them as envoys from a small country, nor that he still remembered them as envoys from a small country. These are not the words of His Highness King Qin.
The thing that made Yang Lin feel the most complicated was that he was the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty and the ruling prince of such a huge country. He still remembered the five long followers around him. Remembering these five ordinary people, this was what made Yang Lin feel the most. complicated.
