It was said that Guo Nuan was about to send the naughty Princess Lingxian back to the palace. It happened that a large group of eunuchs and palace guards from the Palace of Internal Affairs were standing at the gate of Guo Mansion.

He politely waited quietly outside the door without breaking in directly.

Come on, there is no need for Guo Nuan to send Lingxian back in person now. A group of palace attendants have already arrived in large numbers to pick up the little princess.

"Haha, little girl, look at the good thing you did. Even though you were so proud, you said you secretly escaped from the palace for fun. Look at how much noise everyone has made trying to find you."

Facing the large number of eunuchs who were looking forward to it, Lingxian still lingered and didn't want to go back. Guo Nuan pinched her fleshy cheeks and scolded her angrily: "Stop playing around.

Brother Kong Guo will come to the palace to visit you again, okay."

Seeing that Guo Nuan was very serious, it was hard not to comply. Lingxian nodded reluctantly and said softly: "Okay, Brother Guo must come next time."

"By the way, there is one more thing that Ling'er is here for this time. On the night of the 15th day of the lunar calendar, there is an annual poetry festival by the Minghu River in Chang'an. I heard that there will be many activities at that time. Ling'er wants Brother Guo to go too.

,is it good."

Lingxian's face flushed for no apparent reason, full of shyness. Guo Nuan was not aware of this sudden strange phenomenon, but Guo Nuan's arm was grabbed and kept shaking. The little princess' words contained coquettish elements, like sugar coating.

He couldn't resist the attack like a cannonball, and he really couldn't bear to refuse the child's request.

"Haha, okay, okay, now that I'm afraid of you, a little devil, I just promise that I will make the appointment when the time comes."

Finally sending away the old ancestor Lingxian, Guo Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he immediately returned to the house.

After asking the housekeeper in the mansion, he learned that his mother, Wang, had gone out to Guoguang Temple to listen to a lecture by a Taoist monk. Guo Nuan stayed at the mansion with nothing to do, and then he drove a carriage to the night market near Zhuque Gate alone.

Since Guo Nuang had just arrived in the Tang Dynasty and was not very good at riding horses, his current means of transportation was replaced by this carriage. For the son of Marshal Guo Ziyi, who used iron cavalry to stabilize the country, if outsiders knew that Guo Zi was not skilled

Equestrian skills can indeed make everyone laugh out loud. However, Guo Nuan doesn't care. It is said that he is a little bit hysterical and can't get used to the smell of livestock excrement on horses, so he would rather drive a horse than sit on one.

The street next to Zhuque Gate is very lively. Although it is already dark at night, it is like a lively and bustling city scene. There are rows of shops on both sides of the wide street, densely packed.

In this area, the restaurants, teahouses, gambling houses, and brothels that have the most shops are undoubtedly those. In short, some entertainment venues can always attract a large number of people.

The crowd was surging, and Guo Nuan finally drove the carriage slowly to the downstairs of a large restaurant.

"Well, not bad, this is the place."

He raised his eyes and looked at the three-story restaurant in front of him. There were wooden beams in front of the door, and there was also an archway that read Qingfeng Mingyue Restaurant. The five big gold characters were shining brightly, making it look very elegant.

After tying up the carriage with horse stakes in front of the gatehouse, Guo Nuan stepped into the door of the restaurant. At this time, there was a lot of people inside, and most of the dining tables were filled with diners.

"Hey, Master, you're here. Come upstairs and take a seat in the private room."

Just when Guo Nuan couldn't find a seat and was hesitant to change restaurants, at some point, a fat old man with a goatee appeared next to him, holding an iron abacus in his hand and dressing up like a shopkeeper.

He was leading Guo Nuan with a smile.

Well, the shopkeeper's service attitude is good, Guo Nuan secretly praised it.

"Master, there is a private seat here, next to the window, with the best location."

Then the fat old man, who seemed to be full of blessings, gave instructions to the boy, and soon a cup of Longjing tea was put on the table.

"Master, what do you want to eat?"

"Just take the store's signature dish."

Guo Nuan sat down, thought for a moment, and was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's attitude, and then replied with a smile.

"Okay, young master, please wait for a moment and the dishes will be served." The shopkeeper quickly left, leaving a quiet corner for Guo Nuan.

Looking around the restaurant, it was crowded with guests. It was very lively and almost all seats were occupied. On the one hand, Guo Nuan praised the restaurant's prosperous business, and at the same time, he was glad that he happened to occupy a private seat.

"Go, go, get out of the way, uncle!"

Just as Guo Nuan was enjoying the fine Longjing tea alone in the lounge, suddenly at the stairway to the second floor of the restaurant, a group of brute men wearing sheep coats and vests and brand-new deerskin shoes were leading three big sweats.

Come in.

The noisy barbaric man has a big nose, his skin is slightly fairer than that of people living in the Central Plains, and he is also extremely tall.

Apart from vaguely remembering the Uighur ethnic song and the pancakes often sold in the streets, Guo Nuandao didn't know much about this ethnic minority. Their appearance was so different from that of the Central Plains people that they looked a bit like Belarusians.

Regarding these sudden and rude intruders, diners sitting at various tables in the restaurant immediately started talking. Guo Nuan heard the word "Huihe" with his sharp ears and quickly identified their identities.

The Uighurs were originally a minority tribal government that had befriended by the Tang Dynasty through the policy of restraint. Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the two countries have always had friendly relations. The Uighurs called the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Khan, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty awarded the Uighurs a noble title.

official position.

The Anshi Rebellion broke out and Guanzhong was in turmoil. The Tang Dynasty was almost overthrown by the Jiedushi rebels. The Uighurs sent Prince Ye Hu to bring back tens of thousands of elite cavalry to assist the Tang Dynasty in suppressing the thieves. After the Anshi Rebellion was suppressed, most of the Uighurs who came to the Tang Dynasty took credit and were proud of themselves.

, the Uighur people had a very unruly and barbaric attitude towards the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Especially when the war-torn national power is declining, the Uighurs are even more arrogant. In view of the current military turmoil in the border areas, the oppression of the two powerful enemies of Turks and Tibet from time to time, and the internal affairs that have not yet been sorted out, some rebellious Jiedu envoys have returned.

Instead of suppressing it, Daizong took the overall situation into consideration and avoided making more powerful enemies. He had no choice but to tolerate the Uighurs' wanton behavior in Chang'an and stabilize the friendly alliance with the Uighurs.

Faced with the arrogance of the Uighurs, many people were unable to speak of their sufferings, and the government officials were helpless in the face of some of their criminal acts. Maybe if they intervened in this matter, it would lead to an international lawsuit.

I remember a saying from my previous life: "Stability is paramount to everything." Faced with the strategic policy of national stability and security, rulers often have to adopt a tolerant and conniving attitude toward unreasonable external provocations.

However, due to the occurrence of a dispute in Nanzhao, a small southeastern country dared to clamor for the great China. This is a policy of blind tolerance and stability. It is indeed a bad phenomenon.

"You are so blind that you dare to step on your uncle's deer shoes!"

Four big Uighur men were running rampant in the crowded hall, not caring whether there was anyone in the aisle in front of them. If they encountered obstructions, they would push diners away arrogantly, showing an extremely arrogant and domineering attitude.

On the way, an old diner suddenly couldn't escape and was staggered by the leader. He accidentally stepped on the leader's brand-new deerskin boots, and suddenly violent yells and curses rang out in the restaurant hall.
