Today's heaven and earth have served as a posthouse for foreign envoys.
Officials or envoys sent by vassal states or other countries that had relations with the Tang Dynasty could move freely after meeting the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
They can exchange experience in governing the country with the officials of the court, and can also go deep into the people to appreciate the local customs. Even Li Shimin stipulated that if he was unwilling to go back, he could settle down in the Tang Dynasty, marry a Tang woman as his wife, and live in the Tang Dynasty permanently. BIquGe.biz
These envoys used to stay at the Foreign Envoy Post House. The environment there was difficult to describe. Most of the envoys were wealthy people and would stay in high-end inns.
Since the establishment of Heaven and Earth, the post station for foreign envoys has disappeared. The Central Government stipulated that envoys coming to Tang Dynasty can stay in Heaven and Earth for free, but they can only provide the lowest-level accommodation and meals. If they want higher-level accommodation, they can spend it themselves. money to spend.
These envoys were crazy. They could live for free in the most luxurious manor in the Tang Dynasty.
But when they came to heaven and earth, they were dumbfounded.
Damn you got scammed.
If you want to enter the heaven and earth, you must apply for a VIP card, the minimum level is 100 gold.
For a hundred dollars, they could stay in those inns outside for several months.
But we are all envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and each represents his own motherland. How can we let envoys from other countries look down upon us.
There is another important reason, that is, if you want to get things done, you must have a good relationship with the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
How to build a good relationship? It’s nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun.
And heaven and earth are the best places to go.
Invite people to other places, not to mention that they are unwilling, even if they don't look good.
So they gritted their teeth, waved their hands, and directly applied for a thousand-gu VIP card. Anyway, they would have their king to serve them when they returned, so they were afraid of being a bird.
Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan also applied for a VIP card worth one thousand guan.
He has lived in Chang'an for more than a year, and he worked conscientiously for the cause of Tubo a few years ago. Although he failed to succeed in their proposal to Zanpu, he also ruined the success of Tuyuhun's proposal.
This can be regarded as achieving the purpose of this mission.
As the Prime Minister of Tubo, he also studied the management model of the Tang Dynasty every day, personally visiting or inviting high-ranking officials to come out for gatherings.
It was like seeing the power and wealth of the Tang Dynasty.
However, after the opening of Heaven and Earth, his understanding of Datang was overturned.
Since living in the heaven and earth, he has forgotten what he came to do, and he is a little happy and forgets about Shu.
But last night, the steward here told him that there was no money in his gold card and he needed to continue to top up or move to a foreign embassy.
Although the foreign embassy is also in heaven and earth, the services there are completely different from those here. In other words, it has the name of heaven and earth, which is no different from the previous foreign embassy.
Lu Dongzan was very impatient and asked his subordinates to recharge. Isn't it just gold and silver? As the Prime Minister of Tubo, there is a lot of gold and silver.
But his subordinates told him that the money they brought had almost been used up.
Only then did Lu Dongzan remember that he had lived in the Tang Dynasty for a year. During the time he came to the Tang Dynasty, he personally visited Changsun Wuji, Left and Right Pushe, and various officials, which cost a lot of money. .
Later, when I entered this heaven and earth, it seemed that I had already recharged several times.
Lu Dongzan was dumbfounded.
In the Tang Dynasty, if you have money, you can succeed in doing things, but if you don't have money, you have to live with those little bastards.
So Ludongzan, who had no money to recharge, was invited to a place where foreign envoys lived.
The foreign embassy is located next to the parking lot of Heaven and Earth, and is surrounded by a wall, but there is a gate that leads to the major areas of Heaven and Earth.
There are probably more than a hundred rooms in two rows of two-story buildings, all of which are large shops with complete tables. There is also a restaurant in the middle for these people to eat and drink.
Lu Dongzan was used to eating big fish and meat. Looking at the clear and watery noodle soup and a few naan cakes in front of him, he suddenly became angry.
He was the prime minister of Tubo, so the Tang Dynasty gave him this food?
Is Li Shimin insulting him?
But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
You see, the envoys from other countries are still eating with gusto. These guys have spent all the gold and silver they brought. Now everyone has begun to live a hard life.
Lu Dong sighed, took a bite of naan bread and drank a sip of clear soup.
"The Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan is the Prime Minister. My prince has invited me."
The person who came to deliver the message was Haizhu. Everyone had never seen Haizhu, but the fat man said that his master was a prince, and he might be the prince in the court.
Among Li Shimin's sons, only two were qualified to meet foreign envoys, Li Ke, King of Shu, and Li Tai, King of Yue. The others were too young and were not allowed to participate in politics.
But Li Ke, the king of Shu, also died, so only Li Tai, the king of Yue, was left.
Lu Dongzan also thought this way. Although he had been in Datang for more than a year, he had never interacted with the princes, and Li Shimin did not allow him to associate with the princes and princes.
Today is an opportunity.
"I am the Prime Minister of Tubo, Ludongzan."
"Oh, come with me. My prince is hosting a banquet for you to attend."
The rest of the people all looked at Hai Zhu and Lu Dongzan.
We were all envoys to the Tang Dynasty, why were the princes of the Tang Dynasty treated differently?
"My lords, why are you only inviting Tibetan envoys? We are also envoys!"
Hai Zhu glanced at the mallets and said coldly: "Don't worry, everyone. My prince said that everyone will have their turn."
Lu Dongzan followed Haizhu to the top floor of the restaurant.
He was extremely envious when he looked at the luxurious decorations and the mirrors that reflected people vividly.
It is said that only His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor can come here, and the rest are not qualified.
Unexpectedly, Thalu Dongtsen would also have an eye-opening experience today.
However, he was also vigilant in his heart. The prince's invitation to him would definitely not be as simple as eating and drinking.
He also heard about Li Tai, King of Yue, who was deeply accustomed to Tang Emperor Li Shimin and was extremely intelligent.
Finally, we arrived at the top floor of the restaurant and entered the room. The luxury here shocked Lu Dongzan.
Is this a place for people to eat?
This place is even more luxurious than the palace!
But he was the Prime Minister of Tubo after all, so even if he was shocked, he must not show it.
"Hahaha, the Prime Minister is finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Come here, sit here?"
Li Ke laughed and walked towards Lu Dongzan affectionately from the window.
Lu Dongzan looked at the boy in front of him. He was fifteen or sixteen years old, but he showed maturity.
"Foreign Minister Lu Dongzan has met His Royal Highness the King of Yue."
Hai Zhu snorted coldly from the side and said calmly: "Is this the Prime Minister of Tubo? Even the prince of Tang Dynasty can admit his mistake. Did you do it on purpose or on purpose?"
Lu Dongzan was stunned, and quickly looked up at the young man in front of him. If he wasn't the King of Yue, then who was he?
The young man who was so enthusiastic just now stopped suddenly, and his face suddenly darkened.
Lu Dongzan's heart was pounding, and he secretly hated himself for not finding out the situation of several princes before. Now he was in big trouble.
Deliberately identifying the wrong prince, this disrespectful label was slapped on his head.
