As we all know, Li County has always been a good official, and he abhors accepting and giving bribes.
He is fiercely loyal and honest as a mirror. This is him, a pure and honest Duke of Datang County.
The foreign barbarian envoys dared to accuse him of accepting bribes without any basis or evidence. Li Qinzai hesitated whether to report it to the official.
Liu Anyang, who was sitting quietly and acting like a transparent old man, had no shame in listening anymore.
Whether it was Li Qinzai or Zahile, their operations today were very cool.
I feel sorry for him, the Minister of Honglu Temple. He just wants to be an official in peace and live out his career. What's wrong with him?
When Zashile saw Li Qinzai's denial, he couldn't help being shocked and angry.
After all, he was a barbarian and knew nothing about the official culture of the Tang Dynasty.
You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Can giving gifts and accepting bribes be discussed on the table?
After Li Qinzai denied it, he felt it was not enough, so he turned to look at Liu Anyang, the only witness, and shouted: "Really, you are talking nonsense without any evidence... How can I accept such a heavy gift from others? It is completely impossible. Well, this is simply unreasonable..."
Liu Anyang could only try his best to smile: "Yes, County Duke Li is an upright and honest official, which is well-known in our Tang Dynasty..."
I can't help but agree, for fear that he will kill someone and silence him...
Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of relief and his voice became louder: "Really? Look, everyone says so!"
Seeing the two of them singing together, no matter how stupid Zahile was, he probably realized it at this time. He was afraid that Li Qinzai would become angry and reincarnate with murderous intentions, so he never dared to mention giving gifts again.
"I forgive you, Duke Li. I made a mistake just now, but I still have one question. I dare to ask Duke Li why he violently treated my followers of the Tibetan envoy today. Not only did I break their legs, but I also put them in jail. "
"The Tang Dynasty and Tibet have been friendly for many years. Today, Duke Li actually did such a cruel thing to our Tibetan mission. I am not talented, but I know how to protect the dignity of Tibet. Please give me an explanation, otherwise we will just Now I can ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to administer justice in the golden palace of your country."
Li Qinzai sneered and complained in front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. With Li Zhi's impartial and impartial character, Li Qinzai would probably be severely punished by being fined with three drinks.
The Tubo envoy probably didn't know that Li Qinzai could walk sideways not only in Tuyuhun, but also in Chang'an City. What's the point of breaking the legs of a few hozens?
Theoretically, the only place where Li Qinzai really needed to be careful was the British government. Even if Li Qinzai is crowned king one day, he will still be beaten when he deserves it in the Duke's palace.
"Go and file a complaint. You are allowed to add fuel and jealousy to describe my behavior even worse. I promise not to retaliate." Li Qinzai said with a smile.
Zashile was speechless. He looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. It was completely different from his impression of the Tang people.
Isn’t this a land of etiquette? Didn’t the Prime Minister say that the people of the Tang Dynasty were elegant in conversation and extraordinary in bearing?
Why does Mr. Li look like a piece of rat droppings that fell into the soup pot, and he happened to eat the rat droppings?
Li Qinzai knelt down in the hall, adjusted his posture, and said, "Your envoy's entourage is rude and rude. You don't pay for meals in downtown Chang'an, and you dare to beat the restaurant owner. Is this what Lu Dongzan taught you before coming to Chang'an?" "
As he spoke, Li Qinzai lowered his face and said: "I've been polite enough to break their legs. I originally planned to kill them in the street. In my country of the Tang Dynasty, which is a country of etiquette and civilization, it is unheard of to not pay for meals, but you are so embarrassed." Come to Honglu Temple to raise troops to question the crime..."
"If you hadn't been the envoy of Tubo, you would be either under the car or in jail at this moment. You are so embarrassed that you have to go to the emperor to complain. Tsk, it really brings glory to your Tubo face."
Zahile was shocked.
When he learned that his attendant had his legs broken and was thrown into prison, Zashile rushed to Honglu Temple to demand an explanation without saying a word. Due to the lack of information, he had no idea what mistake his attendant had made.
Now that Li Qinzai said it to his face, it was like slapping him hard, from the front to the back.
Zashile knew that there was really no reason to reason about this matter, because the truth was not on his side. No wonder Li Qinzai was so confident. If he really made trouble in the Golden Palace, it would only bring shame to Tubo.
Seeing that Zashile's face was turning red and blue, Li Qinzai said coldly: "Those of your followers dare to act tyrannically in the Tang Dynasty. Wannian County Council will judge and deal with them in accordance with the law. This is the Tang Dynasty, not your lawless Tubo. No one I'll spoil you."
Liu Anyang, who had been silent for a long time next to him, finally said weakly: "What Mr. Li said is true. Even if they are foreign missions, they should abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and treat everyone equally under the law."
He couldn't reason, he couldn't be beaten again and again, and even his status as an envoy, which he relied on, was just a piece of shit in Li Qinzai's eyes.
Zashile knew that he would not get any favors today, so he could only snort angrily, caress his chest in a very sloppy way, salute, turn around and leave angrily.
Li Qinzai stared at his back, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "This guy has a firecracker temper. How could Lu Dongzan choose him as an envoy? Is their criterion for selecting envoys based on martial arts competition?"
Liu Anyang said with a smile: "All barbarians who have not yet submitted to the king's transformation are like this. If Duke Li had stayed in Honglu Temple for a longer time, he would have known that few of these barbarians from foreign countries know the etiquette. They come to the Tang Dynasty to perform random salutes and think they are proficient in me." The culture of the Central Plains.”
Li Qinzai smiled and said nothing.
Apart from anything else, they are really proficient in giving gifts. Doesn’t this mean they have learned the essence of the Central Plains culture?
…………
The envoys from various countries had nothing to entertain, so Li Qinzai was somewhat perfunctory about this errand.
Foreigners come as soon as they come. Do we still have to imprison them?
Li Qinzai was not used to their bad habits.
After leaving Honglu Temple, Li Qinzai sent his troops to the Siyi Pavilion, where the envoys from various countries lived, and told them that the work of receiving envoys from various countries would be taken over by Li Qinzai, the Duke of Weinan County in the Tang Dynasty.
You can stay peacefully in Chang'an and don't bother me if you have nothing to do. Another thing is to abide by the law and don't cause trouble. The Tubo followers are the perfect negative teaching materials. If you don't believe it, go to Wannian County Prison to visit them.
Of course, if an envoy from any country admires Mr. Li's literary talent, or wants to discuss the international situation and philosophy of life with Mr. Li, they can... chat privately.
Bring gifts and talk about anything.
Less than an hour after leaving Honglu Temple, the story of Weinan County Duke Li Qinzai openly brutalizing the followers of the Tibetan mission in the bustling city of Chang'an has spread in Chang'an City.
Not long after, the imperial censors also heard about this.
Naturally, the officials would not let go of such explosive news. In the afternoon of the same day, the memorial to impeach Li Qinzai flew into Tai Chi Palace.
The memorial fell into the hands of Xu Jingzong, the right prime minister. Xu Jingzong was such a cunning person, how could he get into trouble with Li Qinzai for this little thing?
With Li Qinzai now the leader of the Holy Scroll, he had the nerve to complain to the emperor even if he broke a few of the barbarian's legs, and he was already full.
】
So Xu Jingzong wisely kept the memorials in the Shangshu Province. Various memorials to impeach Li Qinzai could not fly until they reached the Shangshu Province.
