There was still a lot of wind and snow drifting into the palace, which was very quiet. You could even hear the teeth of the guards in front of the palace chattering due to the cold.
Xu Jingzong listened to his own breathing, and his back was already wet with His Majesty staring at him.
Li Shimin whispered: "No wonder he was able to conquer Nanzhao. It turns out he was from the Wei Mansion."
I don't know how much your Majesty knows about He Bi's identity. Maybe he already knows everything.
Xu Jingzong pretended to be confused because he didn't have much contact with Na He, and thought to himself: County Marquis, County Marquis, for the sake of the great cause of our Ministry of Rites, the lower officials risked their lives.
Judging from so many years of experience, when things develop in the end, you will find that Zhang Yang's choice is often the right one.
A person who can work hard and diligently may have a bright future, but in Xu Jingzong's opinion, being able to make choices is worse than being able to work hard.
If you choose well and add some effort, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Li Shimin added: "I will wait for him at Taiye Pond at noon tomorrow."
Xu Jingzong bowed and saluted, "Well, I don't know if your Majesty has anything you need to prepare."
Li Shimin put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea and said, "Let's prepare like this."
"Here."
After saying that, Xu Jingzong saluted His Majesty and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
At this moment, there is no need to wear gold and silver in the post house of Chang'an City and walk into the post house in a swaggering manner.
In the post house, there were many people from outside the customs. There were groups of people from the Western Regions, as well as Tubo people or Turks.
When King Nanzhao walked into the post house, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
After a while, the posthouse suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on the people in Nanzhao.
Du Luo, the former Nanzhao envoy, glared angrily.
"Everyone, join me in killing this usurper of the throne! After killing him... I will go and pacify Nanzhao."
Now this Duluo can also speak Guanzhong dialect politely.
As soon as He stood still, he saw a group of people rushing towards him. He avoided one person's fist and kicked the person in front of him to the ground.
He shook his arms and grinned, "Come on, it will be fun if you all come together! I haven't moved my muscles for a long time."
Why bother? The strong men around him had excitement in their eyes, and more than a dozen people swarmed forward.
The hands of both sides immediately struggled together, and the posthouse was in chaos.
He Bi's fists and kicks opened and closed in the crowd, and Nanzhao's side was not at a disadvantage against the envoys from the enemy countries.
When the officers and soldiers outside the post house saw this, they immediately went to call for help.
Xu Jingzong had just returned to the Ministry of Rites and sat down when he saw someone running towards him in a hurry and raised his head in displeasure.
"Xu Shangshu! Oh no, King Nanzhao and others were beaten in the post house."
Hearing this, Xu Jingzong slapped the table and said, "What! What happened to King Nanzhao and the others?"
The clerk supported the wall and replied: "Yes...it was King Nanzhao who knocked them all down."
Hearing this, Xu Jingzong regained his composure and said, "Take someone to clean up."
"Here."
He said in his heart that these envoys would be beating back and forth all day long. Xu Jingzong warned: "If this continues in the future, the post house will have to be demolished. Those who are damaged will be asked to pay for it. King Nanzhao didn't do it first." No need to pay."
"Here."
Speaking of going back to the post house, why bother looking at the mess on the ground? At this moment, he looked at the envoys from various countries with unfinished intent. He sat on a table and said with a smile: "You people want to take action but can't fight. It's really ridiculous."
Li Yifu came with people. He first scolded the envoys, then looked at He Bi with a smile on his face, and whispered: "You're not hurt, are you?"
Why bother shook his head and said: "No."
"That's good, if King Nanzhao is injured..." As he spoke, Li Yifu turned back and glared at these envoys.
Now the envoys present knew that King Nanzhao was under the care of the Ministry of Rites, and they also understood that they were not to be trifled with.
Duluo was beaten all over his body and was covered with bruises. He sat against the wall and looked at the door outside the post house. There was still heavy snowfall outside.
Li Yifu whispered: "Xu Shangshu went to see your majesty. Your majesty will be at Taiye Pond at noon tomorrow."
"Okay!" He Bi patted his thigh and led the people to the second floor of the post house.
Originally, the best room on the second floor of the post house was for Turks, so why did they throw out all the luggage in this room as soon as they arrived, and then settled down with peace of mind.
This King of Nanzhao seemed to have become a bully in the post house. With the support of the Ministry of Rites, these envoys did not dare to provoke him anymore, and they could not defeat him.
Why lie in the room of the post house, and the attendant comes over and whispers: "Tomorrow I can see Tian Khan?"
"Um."
"after that……"
"The Marquis of Lishan County will arrange the rest."
"Here."
The next morning, there was no need to walk out of the room. It had been snowing for two days and two nights, and it had no intention of stopping.
Moreover, the snow was getting worse. After King Nanzhao walked downstairs, all the envoys dispersed, as if they had encountered a fierce beast and did not dare to approach.
A vicious wolf entered the originally harmonious flock, and the sheep retreated.
Some people would rather sit on the ground than get too close to King Nanzhao.
Why bother saying to the entourage around you: "I'm going out, you don't have to follow me."
The follower said doubtfully: "After that..."
After that, he took off all the gold objects on his body, distributed them to the brothers around him, and whispered: "You all should go back to your hometowns."
Gold chains, gold belts, and gold leaves were all distributed to these followers.
With this gold, they can buy a house, marry a wife, and buy three to five acres of land.
This was what was promised at the beginning, and the brothers immediately understood the meaning and dispersed one after another.
After all the gold items were distributed, why bother to get up and find that he had no belt. He noticed that a Turkic man had a good belt.
Before King Nanzhao could speak, the Turk quickly took off his belt and handed it to King Nanzhao with both hands.
Why bother to have a belt while tightening your clothes and holding up your trousers when you leave the inn?
As soon as he walked out of the inn, he noticed someone following him, and there were a lot of eyes around him.
Knowing Zhang Yang's current situation in the court, he would not be surprised that he would be targeted.
Why walk into an alleyway? Except for Zhuque Street, the main road in Chang'an City, the houses in the West City are denser.
After turning into a deserted alley, the boys hurriedly followed.
"Where are the people?"
"Why is it missing?"
"Maybe it went that way."
Why put your hands and feet on the wall, just hanging between the houses, watching these people leave.
After the people walked away, he whispered: "When a certain family was hanging around in Chang'an City, you were still drinking milk."
After saying that, he retracted his legs, landed firmly on the ground, turned around and walked in the other direction.
As he walked, he muttered to himself: "This Chang'an City really hasn't changed at all. It's still the same as it was when you left."
After getting rid of people, why bother to meet a few old friends from the past, and know what happened recently, and also know the current situation in Chang'an City.
If a person is used to being undisciplined and has no family or relatives, why should he have many friends?
After walking around, why should he give his remaining money to his old friends and Pao Ze until he is penniless.
When he told him that he was the King of Nanzhao, none of his old friends believed him.
He was walking alone on the road to Taiye Pond and whispered: "Yes, I am no longer the King of Nanzhao. I was just the King of Nanzhao."
Just like that, why was he being targeted again after leaving Chunmingmen alone?
Then he walked half a circle around the city wall of Chang'an City and headed towards the Taiye Pool in the north.
The way in front of him was blocked by an officer and soldier, so he smiled and said: "A certain family is the king of Nanzhao, coming to see Tian Khan."
A man wearing Guanzhong clothes and speaking authentic Guanzhong dialect does not look like a Nanzhao king.
It wasn't until Li Yifu came in a hurry and explained that the officers and soldiers let him go.
It is a snowy day at this moment, and Taiye Pool has stopped working.
Why follow the officers and soldiers here to the edge of Taiye Pond? The place seems messy, and some prototypes of buildings are already there. Soon, this place must be a noble place.
The officers and soldiers stopped, and then the eunuch searched him, and then he put the water pavilion into the pool.
Li Shimin was sitting in the waterside pavilion, with a palace maid playing the piano beside him.
The hands of the palace maid playing the piano were already red from the cold, but she remained silent.
When King Nanzhao almost reached the waterside pavilion, Li Shimin waved his hand for her to step back.
"Why bother, King Nanzhao? He has seen Tian Khan!"
Hearing a powerful voice, Li Shimin also looked stern, poured two bowls of wine on the table, and whispered: "Sit down."
"I don't dare!"
Replied again with great energy, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Looking at your demeanor and style, you are indeed from the Wei family."
After saying this, Li Shimin added: "Xu Jingzong said it."
Why bother said again: "I just want to drink with Tian Khan and nothing else."
Li Shimin nodded and waved for him to come over.
So, why bother walking on the small wooden bridge over the pond to the Taiye Pond in the pond step by step.
Why bother to come before His Majesty? He finally saw what this Tian Khan looked like.
"Are you from Guanzhong?"
"Your Majesty, I am from Longxi. In the early years, I was a cook in the Wei army. Later, I was kicked out because I offended people with my words."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's really interesting."
Why sit down cross-legged, pick up the wine bowl and say loudly: "Thank God Khan for the wine."
Seeing him drink the wine in one gulp, Li Shimin poured it back, "How generous! He is indeed a good man."
Some wind and snow fell into the water pavilion, why bother to whisper: "I have accomplished another thing in this life. Since His Majesty came to the throne, a certain family has noticed that the following few years have been particularly smooth."
"You are now in charge of Nanzhao, will you bring troops and horses to attack the Tang Dynasty in the future?"
If other envoys heard this question, they might have knelt down on the spot. Why not be humble or arrogant? He picked up the jug on the stove, poured a bowl of hot wine, took another sip, and said with a smile: "No."
At this moment, His Majesty seems to be talking to an ordinary warrior. This person does not look like the King of Nanzhao at all.
The prince knew very well that his majesty had always disliked the chivalrous ethos.
Why bother raised his head and said: "It is said that the old Nanzhao King gave the Zen throne to a certain family. In fact, as early as autumn this year, a certain family also gave the Zen throne."
As he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew into Taiye Pond, causing the flame of the small copper stove to flicker on and off.
The waterside pavilion became silent, with only the sound of wind blowing in my ears.
Li Shimin twitched the corner of his mouth with a straight face, and whispered: "Are you joking with me?"
Why bother poured himself another sip of wine, took a sip and said, "Good wine! The wine from Tian Khan is really delicious. This is the first time in my life that I have tasted such good wine."
"I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
Why bother said with a smile: "Listen."
"Are you in Zen position again?"
"Yes, the current King of Nanzhao is no longer here." He Bi sighed: "I will no longer be the King of Nanzhao after drinking this bowl of wine."
As he spoke, he took another sip of wine.
Li Shimin breathed heavily and found it inexplicably funny. Isn't he the King of Nanzhao? He also attained Zen position.
"It is really rare for two Nanzhao kings to have become Zen kings within one year."
After saying that, why bother took out a book from his arms, bit his finger, and put his fingerprints on the book, "Your Majesty, this is my Zen book."
With a little anger, Li Shimin took the scroll and read it carefully. It was stamped with the seal of King Nanzhao. Now that it is stamped with his fingerprint, the book of Zen status will be valid.
He Bi said again: "All the property, population, and land of King Nanzhao have been handed over. The reason why I am confessing now is that I hope to have a drink with His Majesty. There is also a copy of this Zen title book in Lishan Mountain."
At this moment, His Majesty's eyes were staring at the book of Zen status, and his eyes fell on the name on the book of Zen status, Hou Zhangyang of Lishan County.
"Your Majesty, as it is written in the Zen Book, the current King of Nanzhao is Zhang Yang."
Li Shimin suddenly slapped the Zen book on the table and said angrily: "What did he give you? You want to give Nanzhao to him!"
Why bother was still drinking by himself and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you think Zhang Yang has given me a lot?"
Seeing that His Majesty didn't answer, why bother lazily putting away one foot, holding a wine bowl in one hand, spitting out the breath of wine drunkenly, and said with a smile: "We experienced a lot in Chang'an City back then."
"Nanzhao was given to him because of friendship, and also because he allowed a certain family to get money. Later, he distributed the money earned to the family members of the widow of Paoze, so that they could live a good life."
"Between men there is nothing more than friendship and agreement. Perhaps your Majesty has been in the throne for a long time and does not know the world. People like us can travel thousands of miles or kill people for a promise."
Li Shimin picked up the wine bowl and suddenly smiled: "That's right. I have always admired people like you."
Seeing the eunuch leaving, why did he say again: "Your Majesty, there is no need for anyone to inquire. Those entourages have already dispersed. They have already left Chang'an City at this time. There is no need to bother to investigate. Because of what happened to Li Yuanchang, King of Han at that time... There is a file in Dali Temple, and everything is clearly recorded."
He slowly stood up and said with a hint of drunkenness, "Well! I'm going to leave, with permission from Wangtian Khan."
"If I don't let you go, will it look like I'm being stingy?"
"A certain family admires Your Majesty!" Why bother said loudly: "I see that the people in Chang'an City are living in prosperity and the villagers in the countryside can farm with peace of mind. A certain family admires Your Majesty. That's enough!"
"You can dedicate Nanzhao to me!"
