All this was because he was worried and naturally couldn't eat.
At this night banquet at Admiral Tiance's Mansion, the guests were the young Khan Tuli and his wife, the former Princess Huainan of the Sui Dynasty, who came from afar. The second guests were Ashinadur and his first wife, the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Hengyang.
Except for the roasted lamb, little Khan Tuli really couldn't remember anything else he ate during the banquet.
After the night banquet, Li Yuanxing called people from several major newspapers in Chang'an. Since he came to Chang'an, many things naturally had to be handled personally.
Making an arrangement in advance will definitely work wonders.
The next morning, the Goguryeo envoy took the initiative to find the Baekje envoy early in the morning: "Reputation is very important. You should take the initiative to tell the story clearly. Otherwise, Baekje will be unable to move forward in Chang'an, and it will also embarrass me, Goguryeo."
"Let's make it clear, the Tang people are being unreasonable!"
"It's just that I beat a woman. According to Tang law, I only need to pay a bushel of rice." The Goguryeo envoy said this with a hint of anger. What he was angry about was that the Baekje envoy made even such a trivial matter complicated. You know, they
He came to Chang'an City to seek peace with the Tang Dynasty.
The Baekje envoy was silent. He used silence to resist the pressure brought by the Goguryeo envoy.
"Our great Goguryeo has lost two cities. The thirteen cities of Silla occupied by Baekje will take at least two years to truly bring output to our two countries. During this period, if there is an enmity with the Tang Dynasty,
, if war breaks out again, what will happen to Silla's counterattack?" The Goguryeo envoy began to reason again.
"You are enemies in front and behind, this is indeed a trouble!" The Baekje envoy was not too anxious.
The Goguryeo envoy said again: "If Goguryeo, the great nation of Goguryeo, cannot hold on, and can only negotiate peace with Silla, what will you do in Baekje?" At this point, it was already a threat.
The Baekje envoy was silent.
But he knew in his heart that Silla was far more powerful than Baekje. If it weren't for Goguryeo, Baekje might be in danger of annihilation at any time. Therefore, for Baekje, forming an alliance with Goguryeo was far more important than peace.
It is more important to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty.
"So, what do you think? Your face is more important than the national affairs!"
"I'm going, I'm going now." The Baekje envoy walked out angrily.
Eulji Mundeok, dressed as a military general, walked out of the back hall: "Baekje people always want to take advantage of both sides!"
"We, the Great Goguryeo, have no way to take over Baekje, unless we can form an alliance with Tang Dynasty and Silla at the same time, and then divide Baekje with Silla. This is the best strategy. After the war, we can quickly defeat Silla and unify the peninsula. Only in this way can we
With the power to fight against the Tang Dynasty, such a plan cannot tolerate any mistakes."
Eulji Mundeok also said: "Forging an alliance with Baekje and slowly annexing Silla is the stable way!"
The Goguryeo people were plotting, but the Baekje envoy was full of anger.
Although he was angry, he had to take the initiative to come to the Chang'an Newspaper office. After all, he was an envoy from a country. The visit of the Baekje envoy was still received by a person with a good reputation.
Now, the positions within the newspaper have been renamed.
The shopkeeper is called the chief editor, and then the deputy chief editor is added. The pen guest is still called the pen guest, but there are five pen guest levels of gold, silver, copper, iron, and wood. How to divide these levels?
There is no practical plan, and the newspaper industry guild is also discussing the matter.
"I want to tell you what happened that day in Chang'an East City to avoid being framed by unscrupulous people!"
"Very good!" The person in charge of reception was the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an Newspaper and a member of the Cui clan.
"That day, I met a bitch who was pretending to be the princess of Goguryeo, so I beat her. I want to ask you, in the Tang Dynasty, are ordinary women allowed to wear the clothes of Tang princesses?"
When the Baekje envoy came up, he did not tell what happened, but made accusations and rhetorical questions.
The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an City was angry in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm: "This matter is interesting. In the Tang Dynasty, it was already a crime for ordinary people to wear the clothes of nobles, and the worst case could be exiled thousands of miles away. But, the law
The law stipulates that only law enforcement officers can carry out executions, and any lynching is prohibited."
The Baekje envoy was delighted that the other party actually supported his statement.
"Lynching is allowed in Da Baekje, and I am the envoy of Da Baekje. Therefore, I received many accusations after beating a bitch, which makes me extremely unhappy."
"In this case, why don't we make a record. Your Majesty is naturally not guilty. It would be better if you can prove that you are innocent!"
The Baekje envoy laughed: "Just record it!"
After preparing paper and pen, the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News asked: "First question, did your envoy and the woman wearing the costume of the Goguryeo princess meet by chance in Chang'an East City?"
"That's right, it was just a chance encounter!"
"The second question is, does she claim to be the princess?"
"That's not true. She claims to be a commoner." The Baekje envoy answered truthfully.
The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News asked unhappily, but in his mind he was recalling what he had to say about the incident between the Baekje envoy and Jin Manqing after meeting His Highness the King of Qin last night.
He did not dare to speak too fast, for fear that he would not think carefully enough and miss His Highness King Qin's plan. So he wrote slowly. He finished writing slowly, and continued to ask unhurriedly:
"Since she did not claim to be the princess of Goguryeo, it is not a crime of impersonation. Naturally, the Department of Clothing under the Ministry of Rites will be responsible for investigating any inappropriate clothing."
"Well, what you said is not biased!" The Baekje envoy heard this and thought that the person in front of him was a fair person.
The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News took a deep breath secretly, knowing that the most critical moment had come.
"I would like to ask your envoy if I know that the woman once claimed to be a commoner, a commoner from Chang'an. Has your envoy heard this?"
The Baekje envoy felt nervous. The woman turned out to be a commoner in Chang'an City. He immediately asked: "She is a commoner there. Does it have anything to do with her sexual behavior?"
"It doesn't matter, no matter where she is from, it is a mistake to dress beyond the standards she should have. As someone just said, she is not pretending to be a noble, she is just deviating in the color of her clothes. This is a matter under the jurisdiction of the Department of Rites and Clothing.
."
The Baekje envoy nodded after hearing this: "I heard her say that she is a commoner. I also heard someone next to me say that she is a commoner from Chang'an."
"If you tell me more, will your envoy punish her before or after?"
What a punishment. This word was used so wonderfully that the deputy editor himself was praising himself. After saying that, he stared at the Baekje envoy's eyes, looking forward to the Baekje envoy's next words.
"I heard it before, and I heard it after. After hearing that she claimed to be a commoner, if the idle men in Dongshi hadn't stopped her, I would have continued to punish her. I will go to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and ask the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty to thoroughly investigate this matter.
If you have overstepped your bounds, you should be held accountable. I also request that the pen guest who maliciously smeared me be held accountable!"
"Everything naturally follows the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
The deputy editor of Chang'an News handed over the record in his hand:
"I would like to ask you to see if XX's record is consistent with the conversation just now. There have been no unauthorized changes or additions. If it is correct, please sign. I will print the record as it is in the newspaper tomorrow. It is not a fault.
, naturally there will be public opinion!”
After the Baekje envoy read it, there was really nothing wrong with it, and it was exactly the same as what he just said.
Especially in the last sentence, the Baekje envoy said that he would punish the bitch with anger, and said that he would go to the Ministry of Etiquette to investigate the transgressions of common women of the Tang Dynasty by wearing the costumes of Goguryeo princesses, and the malicious smearing of the journalists in the newspapers.
"This last sentence must be printed. This envoy must report it to the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Of course, if the printed version is even one word different from this one, your envoy may come and smash the sign of our Chang'an News of the Tang Dynasty, and our Chang'an News will be closed from now on. Our newspaper industry also has business rules, but the interviewee who changed it privately
One word." The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News said seriously and seriously.
The Baekje envoy was very satisfied: "Very good, tomorrow morning Chang'an will send 500 copies to Yingbin Garden!"
The Baekje envoy left with satisfaction, but the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News breathed a long sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that he was sweating and his whole back was wet.
"Prepare a car and send someone to Admiral Tiance's Mansion as quickly as possible!"
In the residence of General Tiance, Li Er was playing military chess with Li Jing in Li Yuanxing's study. Li Yuanxing, as the referee, was sitting on the chair on the left side of the center of the chessboard.
In this game, only Li Yuanxing will be the referee.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty played chess with the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty. No matter who won or lost, the result could not be spread.
"Your Highness, the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News wants to see you!"
Li Er nodded to Li Yuanxing, and Li Yuanxing opened the door and walked outside.
"Your Highness, this is the original dialogue of the Baekje envoy, and this is a copy copied by someone." The deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News held it with both hands.
Li Yuanxing took it, glanced at it, and accepted the duplicate copy calmly.
Then he said in a very calm tone: "Next, your task is to stir up the discussion about the reasons for the defeat of Goguryeo during the Sui Dynasty. This is political commentary."
"Your Highness, rest assured, the Press Guild will live up to His Highness's trust!"
"The second thing is to conduct a discussion on etiquette and a public opinion survey. For this matter, you must know how to guide the people's thoughts. Take note of what I mean." After Li Yuanxing said this, he gently said
I waved, and immediately a little eunuch brought me a small table, as well as paper and pen.
After the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News was ready, he stood respectfully in front of the table. "Your Highness, please give me your instructions!"
"We, the Tang Dynasty, respect the etiquette of all ethnic groups and respect the customs and habits of any nation. But only for my friends of the Tang Dynasty. On this point, you can choose one or two friendly countries to support me."
After listening to Li Yuanxing's words, the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News asked: "Khitan, Mohe, and Turk. What do you think is good for your highness?"
"Okay, praise the Khitans more highly. The Turks are not a clan to people this time, so you just have to be careful."
As Li Yuanxing spoke, the deputy editor-in-chief of Chang'an News carefully recorded it. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
