Zhang Chang quickly arrived in front of the palace gate and met Li Yuanchu, the leader of the Western Regions without any hindrance.
The surname of the country in the Western Regions is Li. They were originally a tribe that grazes under the Yin Mountains. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, they have been accepting Chinese culture.
The former Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty gave Li Er the surname Li. This is a tradition. The Central Plains dynasty liked to give surnames to obedient foreigners to show their affection.
If Daliang unified the world, Zhu Youde would also give others the surname Zhu.
As the saying goes, the people of Yi and Di are not as good as the people of China.
It means barbarians, without kings and fathers, and without civilization.
Even if you become an emperor, you are still a barbarian and not orthodox in the Central Plains.
After the collapse of the former Tang Dynasty, these nomadic tribes in the west were left unchecked. By the time of the former Song Dynasty, countries such as Xixia appeared again, and the former Song Dynasty was unable to unify the Western Regions.
The Li family took the opportunity to raise troops and overthrew Xixia. They claimed to be descendants of the clans of the former Tang Dynasty. They advocated the restoration of the Han and Tang Dynasties and took the opportunity to establish a country.
Li Jia founded the country and claimed to be the Later Han Dynasty, but the three great powers of Daliang, Southern Tang, and Northern Yan did not recognize it!
You are a Hu people, so you are a descendant of the former Tang Dynasty. It is so shameless. Therefore, several countries that interact with the Western Region Kingdom call you the Western Region Kingdom, but they do not recognize you as a Han dynasty.
This made Li Yuanchu, the leader of the Western Region Kingdom, feel very bad.
In ancient times, national legal system represented the legitimacy of the dynasty, especially in diplomacy.
If other countries don't recognize you as a country, that means they can come and fight you at any time without declaring war.
Zhu Youde could send troops to beat him at any time if he wanted, and countries such as Southern Tang and Northern Yan would still applaud: Well done.
This time Liang Zan was sent as an envoy on behalf of Daliang, and Li Yuanchu paid great attention to it. On the one hand, he wanted to test Daliang's attitude towards the Western Regions.
Then there is the legal issue of recognizing the Western Regions as the Han Dynasty.
So he has been waiting for Zhang Chang to report.
After the palace official reported it, Li Yuanchu quickly asked Zhang Chang to come in!
"minister……"
"No need to be polite!"
Before Zhang Chang could pay his respects, Li Yuanchu interrupted Zhang Chang's salute, showing his anxiety.
"What do you mean by the envoy of Daliang? But Daliang is willing to recognize our country as Han orthodox. Where is the credential?"
The title of the Kingdom of the Western Regions is mentioned in the national certificate. It could be the Later Han Dynasty or the Later Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Chang naturally knew that this issue made the whole country in the Western Regions depressed.
There is no official country name. They say they are from the Han Dynasty, but that’s bullshit. People still think they are a joke.
It's ridiculous, it has been three generations since the founding of the Western Regions, and the Central Plains Dynasty refuses to acknowledge it.
In fact, it is not ridiculous at all. If the Western Regions are recognized as an independent country, then the land of the Western Regions will become someone else's.
If you don't admit it, then the land in the Western Regions has been invaded by foreigners. When a unified dynasty appears in the Central Plains in the future, you can naturally send troops to take it back.
Let me just say that the Western Regions have been the land of the Han family since ancient times.
This is the tacit understanding between Daliang and other countries in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Chang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen the credentials yet. The credentials will not be submitted until the Daliang envoy meets with Your Majesty tomorrow."
Li Yuanchu was stunned for a moment and then realized. "I am worried. It has been three generations since Emperor Gaozu founded the country, but the countries in the Central Plains do not recognize our country's name and call us the country of the Western Regions. This is a great hatred."
Zhang Chang raised his hands to cover his face, saying that this matter was very embarrassing.
Raising your hands to cover your face is a formal Han etiquette.
The country is not a serious country, and his prime minister is naturally a wild one.
Seeing Zhang Chang like this, Li Yuanchu waved his hand: "Forget it, let's wait until we see the credentials tomorrow. What about Ambassador Liang?"
Zhang Chang immediately told what happened when he greeted Liang Zan, and Li Yuanchu was also shocked.
Zhang Chang embarrassed the envoy of Daliang, he naturally knew that without his acquiescence, how could Zhang Chang dare to embarrass the envoy of a country!
But Liang Zan was able to resolve it all. The joints were the strength Liang Zan showed.
Zhang Changdao: "Your Majesty, Liang Zan was born in the Liang family in the east of Hedong. He was a disciple of a well-known family. During the Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains moved south, and many northern families moved south. This family has a good academic background, and there are not many Liangs of this kind."
Li Yuanchu said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of Daliang, I just sigh that the Central Plains is really rich and beautiful, and a random envoy sent by Daliang turns out to be a son of an aristocratic family."
Zhang Chang stopped talking, now we have to talk about the imperial court within the Western Region Kingdom.
The Li family started out as a nomadic tribe. Naturally, the senior officials in the court are basically the leaders of various tribes, and there are only a few educated ones!
Although the Li family claims to be a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, everyone knows that Li Yuanchu is a descendant of the Hu people.
Li Yuanchu wanted to reform, and he also tried the imperial examination, but then nothing happened.
How can the leaders of the tribes in the Western Regions know how to read? Originally, everyone could become an official after their father died, but now they have to take an exam to become an official!
Foolish king!
Several tribes rebelled because of this, and Li Yuanchu worked hard to quell the rebellion, but as a result, the imperial examination could not continue.
Zhang Changdao: "Your Majesty's thoughts are clear to me. I will do my best to assist Your Majesty and clean up the world. The focus right now is on Liang Zan. What does Daliang's envoy mean this time? A month ago, Daliang's army robbed me of ten
This city, our country should let them return it!"
"I'm afraid I won't give it!"
"I heard that the Emperor of Liang is a foolish king. There is injustice in Liang and the people are boiling with resentment. I can send troops to threaten him!"
"Good!" Li Yuanchu, half lying on the bed, smiled as he thought: "I heard that the Emperor of Liang has the same interests as me?"
Li Yuanchu was lustful and had hundreds of concubines in his harem. There was a bed in each palace so that he could do things at any time.
Zhu Youde also often misses the harem, and the news has long been spread through the merchants in the caravan.
Zhang Chang smiled slightly: "Then our country can send some beauties to the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty. I think the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty has experienced the style of Hu Ji."
Li Yuanchu laughed loudly: "If Liang Guo is willing to return the city, I can still afford hundreds of beauties. The prime minister can make arrangements early to select beauties in the city!"
"promise!"
The dialogue between Zhang Chang and the emperor confirmed the foreign policy toward Daliang. These are all items that will be formally negotiated with Liang Zan in the court tomorrow.
After saying that, I saw Li Yuanchu inviting the beautiful woman to the bed. I saw Li Yuanchu pulling the beautiful woman and pounced on her like a tiger descending the mountain. After a while, there was a stabbing sound, and the beautiful woman was already half naked.
Zhang Chang glanced at it and then turned back.
But in the hotel, Liang Zan didn't sleep. He sat upright on the bed, closed his eyes and rested, his chest heaved, and he looked very excited!
Liang Zan couldn’t help but be excited!
It was such a big deal to go on a mission to a country, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen to him.
In the former Han Dynasty, there was Su Wu, who held Chi Jie Yunzhong.
Which envoy in the former Tang Dynasty, Tang Jian and his like, was not extremely tough?
The Western Regions, a land of barbarians, dare to raise troops to compete with the Central Plains?
Especially when Zhu Youde asked him to take a human head as a gift, Liang Zan already understood the meaning of this.
The purpose is to anger the Western Region Country and test its fighting spirit.
Now Wang Po's army is sweeping across the border of the Western Regions. The emperor's attitude towards the Western Regions is very contemptuous!
Liang Zan opened his eyes fiercely, laughed loudly, and made a plan in his mind: "Kunpeng flies, and the weather favors the time. The time has come for a certain family to take off, and he can follow the example of Fu Zijie Ban Gu and build a successful career."
