A few days later, Tuyuhun's envoy team arrived at Qianyuan, Longzhou.
Since then, the speed of traveling has doubled. The fundamental reason is that the flat and smooth cement road provides great convenience.
The old folks in Tuyuhun were completely dumbfounded when they saw the cement road. They had never seen such a hard and smooth road.
Even their horses were very happy walking on the cement road, because the road was clean and they didn't have to worry about their horses' hooves stepping on stones.
Comfortable.
Xiaowang Sun Bo looked at the prairie people working on both sides of the cement road and couldn't help but ask a Tang general next to him.
"General Zhou, who are those?"
General Zhou Lang was sent by the imperial court to escort them. He had some knowledge and said casually: "They are just some lowly slaves on the grassland."
Bitch slave?
While Little King Sun Bo was meditating, an overseer general cut off the head of the slave.
"Cheer up, everyone. If this rail carriage cannot be repaired today, I will kill all you debtors!"
The bloody scene shocked Tuyuhun's envoy, secretly wondering how could the Tang people be so bloody?
Even Murong Shun, who had been to the Central Plains before, had never seen such a brutal scene. He wondered if he had gone to the grassland.
When did the Emperor of the Central Plains become so cruel?
One day later, Tuyuhun's envoys entered Chang'an City. If there were one sentence to describe the current Tuyuhun envoys, it would be "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden".
Compared with Chang'an, their Fuqi City is just an earth fortress!
There are concrete roads everywhere on the streets. The roads are extremely wide. There are also special people responsible for cleaning. There are human roads, horse roads, official roads, and emperor roads. They are all in good order. There are all kinds of people coming and going, including scholars and girls.
, old people, children, barbarians, prairie people, etc., all have their own unique costumes. They are chatting and laughing, making friends, or leading horses to do business. The lively and prosperous scene is unprecedented.
Murong Shun was also someone who had seen the world. During the pre-Sui Dynasty, he also stayed in Luoyang for several years. He made a heartfelt comparison and felt that the scale of Chang'an City might not be as good as Luoyang City, but the internal construction and prosperity would definitely exceed
The prosperous city of Luoyang.
He couldn't help but wonder, is this reasonable?
I heard that the Tang Dynasty had wars and natural disasters year after year. How could Chang'an still be so prosperous?
Even before the Sui Dynasty, Luoyang City was not so luxurious. The entire city was covered with beautiful cement roads.
This is too exaggerated.
Murong Shun swallowed his saliva. Before coming, he thought that the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was capable of fighting, but he never thought that in terms of governance, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was also so good.
Chang'an is so prosperous, but what about Luoyang?
Thinking of this, Murong Shun couldn't help but secretly told himself that if he could take charge of Tuyuhun in the future, he would definitely not go against the Tang Dynasty.
"Don't look at it. You should report to Honglu Temple with me first, and then wait for His Majesty's summons." General Zhou Lang said.
He had received a lot of envoys from foreign countries, including kings and kings, and he had also seen a lot of them. He was tired of seeing the expressions of these bumpkins.
As expected, he is from a small barbarian country.
"Yes." Murong Shun replied respectfully.
While walking on the road, the people of Tang Dynasty took a curious look, and someone asked loudly: "Where are you from?"
Little King Sun Bo replied: "We are the envoys of Tuyuhun."
"Tuyuhun?" The common people tilted their heads and thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you here to surrender to the saint?"
Xiaowang Sun Bo looked blank and didn't know how to answer.
"Hahahaha." The people of the Tang Dynasty laughed one after another, as if they didn't take these Tuyuhun people seriously at all.
In fact, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not take them seriously. As the court did not regard people other than the Tang people as human beings, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not regard the barbarians as human beings.
Very normal thing.
In this imperial capital, those barbarians, prairie people and other foreign merchants who are doing business are most afraid of meeting the local ruffians in Chang'an.
Because they can't win in every sense.
Privately, they couldn't defeat the other party. On the surface, even if they complained to the government, the government would not give them any preferential treatment, and would even deliberately favor the Tang people.
Those grassland people worked hard to get a Tang identity card and get treatment like a Tang person, but it was extremely difficult.
Because the imperial court has regulations that do not allow people from other countries to join the empire in any form. Even if they marry and have children in the Tang Dynasty, it is not allowed. In other words, any family with a normal family background will not let their daughter marry a barbarian or a grassland person.
Because I can’t afford to lose that person!
In the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, especially those in the Guanzhong area.
What are barbarians?
Slave reserve!
What are prairie people?
slave!
They looked down on the grassland people who were defeated by the empire.
A normal Tang man would not marry a Hu girl or a grassland girl, but would at most take her as a concubine. Only those Tang men who were from ordinary families, could not afford the bride price, did not care about the woman's identity, and only wanted to carry on the family line would marry a grassland girl.
In this way, what is needed is the workshops and the prairie women who are good at weaving.
Although the Tang Empire tortured these grassland merchants and Western Region merchants with various legal provisions, they still came!
Not for anything else, just for Tangren’s products!
Tang Dynasty sugar, which is the most popular nowadays, has become the favorite food of various royal families in the Western Regions, and woolen sweaters have become the favorite of Western Turks!
When it comes to money, businessmen from all countries are the same.
No one has trouble with money.
Murong Shun kept lamenting on the way to Honglu Temple that the capital of the Tang Empire was so prosperous.
Sun Bo and Xiao Wang said enviously: "Brother, when will Fuqi City be replaced with that kind of concrete road? Also, when will we be able to have so many people come to Tuyuhun?"
"This is not a crowded place. If you have free time in the next few days, I will take you to the East and West Market in Chang'an. That is the most prosperous, lively and fun place!" Murong Shun said in the tone of a person who has been there.
When he was in the Central Plains, he had a few beauties with whom he fell in love, but I don't know what became of them.
"That's settled, brother."
"It's settled."
Political Hall.
"Your Majesty, the envoys of Tuyuhun have already stayed at the guest house of Honglu Temple." After the official of Honglu Temple finished speaking, he asked, "Can we take special care of them?"
Special care from Honglu Temple is not a good thing, it often means leftovers.
As the emperor, Li Zhiyun, some of his actions more or less affected the ministers working under him.
In the past, they treated envoys from other countries, not only how to entertain them, but also to make arrangements as much as possible. But since Li Zhiyun came to the throne, killed the Turks and other tribes, and wantonly oppressed the grassland people, the officials below have followed the same example and will not treat envoys from other countries at all. Take it seriously.
"No need." Li Zhiyun said: "As long as it's normal, don't give me any preferential treatment or be slow to treat you."
"Yes, I will retire."
After the Honglu Temple officials withdrew, Du Ruhui said: "This time it is Murong Shun, King of Daning from Tuyuhun. It seems that their domestic opinions are not unified on whether to go to war."
"I heard that after Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty defeated Tuyuhun, he canonized Murong Shun as Tuyuhun Khan. Unfortunately, he failed to grasp it and lost his position." Xue Shou said: "Looking at it now, not only do they have different opinions.
They are unified, and even internally they are still doubting and fighting each other.”
"Mr.
Xue Shou explained: "When Murong Shun came to the Sui Dynasty as a hostage in his early years, Fu Yun appointed another son, Dayan Mangjiebo, as the crown prince. Later, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty even wanted to replace Fu Yun with Murong Shun.
Look, Fu Yun is definitely dissatisfied with Murong Shun.
This time they Tuyuhun attacked our borderland again and again, but the two sides did not attack. It was just when the heavy rain suddenly stopped and the dark clouds gathered strength and thunder struck. At this time, Fu Yun sent Murong Shun as the chief envoy to our court. It can be seen that he did not care about his son at all.
Life and death. I even hope that Murong Shun will die here!"
After hearing this, everyone felt that there was something to say, and they all nodded and thought.
How could they not be clear about killing someone with a borrowed knife?
