Xiong Fei has been a hostage in the Tang Dynasty Empire for more than two years. His life in the Tang Empire has been very nourishing in the past two years.
No one bullies him on weekdays. Being a bitch of the Tang Empire is actually countless times happier than being a bitch of the Great China Empire in the past.
In the Tang Empire, the new aristocrats are bound by the law, and other officials are also highly honest. Everyone has things to do. The Tang Empire is also in a period of rise, and no one has time to make things difficult for a hostage in a slave country.
Other countries, for example, did not dare to be presumptuous in the territory of the Tang Empire. Naturally, they did not have the trouble to find Chu State as a scrap. Everyone was cautious and cautious for fear of being noticed by the Tang Empire. Who would be fine because Chu State was given to them?
Looking for trouble?
Therefore, without the oppression of the Great China Empire, and the people of the Great Tang Empire no longer causing trouble for him, Xiong Fei was actually quite happy living in the Great Tang Empire in the past few years.
Xiong Biao, the old king of Chu State, felt sorry for his son and often gave him some money to make up for his own mistakes.
After all, the Chu State has followed the Tang Empire in the past two years and taken over most of the backward industries that the Tang Empire did not want. It has really made a lot of money.
Therefore, when King Xiong Biao became wealthy, he was not stingy with his son who was taken as a hostage, and gave Xiong Fei a lot of financial support.
If you have money, you can buy anything. Xiong Fei has a villa in Chang'an prepared by the Tang Empire. It is not allowed to be renovated or used for other purposes, so there is no need to buy a house. So Xiong Fei can only buy a house with money.
Various novel objects.
He had used televisions and radios early, and he had enjoyed fluorescent lamps early. He also liked to collect various artworks from the Tang Empire. In short, he was defrauded of a lot of money...
You said that a person who dares not do anything, has some money, seems to have a good background and knows the basics to outsiders, but does not discipline much, what should the life be like?
Xiong Pei just eats some delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, then goes to check in at major conferences, and wanders around Chang'an City...that's what the so-called idlers are like.
As the crown prince of a country, Xiong Fei cannot find women casually even when he goes to a club. Whether this is spread back to Chu State or is known to officials of the Tang Empire, it will cause trouble.
Chu's proton solicited prostitution in the capital of the Tang Dynasty. This was tantamount to slapping the face of the Tang Empire. At that time, officials from the Celestial Dynasty would really hold him accountable, and even go up to heaven to hear that the Emperor of Tang was displeased.
Can Xiong Fei bear the wait?
Besides, he is also the prince of a country, and not just any woman can climb into his bed. What if his father, the king, finds out about his misbehavior and wants to change to another prince?
He never dared to leave the city. He was really afraid that he would be killed by someone with ulterior motives, or that he would be misunderstood by the Tang Empire and treated as a runaway.
It's not interesting to be at home, and it's taboo to make friends, so besides having good food, drinking, and living in a cool way, Xiong Fei is also really bored.
In fact, it is not really boring, because Xiong Fei has a learning task in the Datang Empire. He has four days every week to learn the culture of the Datang Empire, and even have the opportunity to observe the Datang Empire.
military courses.
The purpose of this is actually very easy to understand. It is to influence Xiong Fei and make him accept the Datang Empire, identify with the Datang Empire in his heart, and be afraid of the Datang Empire.
This day was no different. Xiong Fei had just taken a shower and was going to go out to a club in the evening.
As a result, news suddenly came that it was Nangong Hong, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire. He was so frightened that Xiong Fei quickly found his most expensive Tang suit, had his followers iron it, and put it on.
Head to the Forbidden City.
To say that the Forbidden City is not something people like him can enter casually, the Tang suit that resembles a dress that Xiong Fei wears cannot be worn at any time.
Following the guards, Xiong Pei entered the Forbidden City for the fourth time and was still a little nervous. Looking at the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty who were walking in a hurry, Xiong Pei felt that his steps were a little stiff when he walked.
This complex of buildings with red walls and bright tiles can be said to be the most majestic and solemn place in the entire Western Continent, and even the entire world. Everyone who walks here can feel the awe-inspiring pressure.
Walking on such a road was really nerve-wracking. He followed the soldiers and walked on the planned sidewalk, watching the cars in the middle of the road speeding past one after another. He was very envious of those who could enter the Forbidden City by car.
of officials.
The Forbidden City of the Tang Dynasty was too big, and it also accommodated office functions, so some people were allowed to drive in the Forbidden City.
In addition, there are dedicated cars in the Forbidden City that provide scheduled services, which can make it convenient for officials to go to the departments they want to go to.
Although the layout is the same, the Forbidden City of the Tang Empire was much larger than the Forbidden City in Tang Mo's memory. Twenty years ago, the Forbidden City itself would have been the size of a city.
When Xiong Pei walked to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in the Wenhua Palace and walked into Nangonghong's office with trepidation, he saw that Nangonghong's face was not ugly, and he was somewhat relieved.
It seems that he didn't offend any great master, but simply the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire had trouble with him.
The magnificent Ministry of Foreign Affairs office still makes people a little nervous. It represents the face of the Tang Empire, so a lot of thought was put into the decoration.
Nangong Hong, who was sitting behind the huge desk, stretched out his hand casually and motioned to Xiong Gai that there was a set of sofas for guests behind him: "Sit down."
"Thank you, thank you, Sir." Xiong Fei was very cautious. He only dared to sit down after thanking him. He sat on the sofa with only half of his buttocks, leaning forward and not even daring to lean on it.
"How have you been in Chang'an recently?" Nangong Hong looked at the honest Xiong Fei and was very satisfied with his attitude.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, Xiong Fei's every move in Chang'an was monitored, his performance was always recorded, and someone even compiled and reported it.
Xiong Fei performed well in his studies in the Tang Empire. Now he cannot do without the many conveniences of the Tang Empire. He is also suppressed by the power of the Tang Empire and cannot hold his head high.
Sitting in front of Nangong Hong was a prince who was even more respectful and obedient than Zhao Yu. He even yearned for and identified with the Tang Dynasty.
It is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for the Chu State to have such a future king.
Xiong Fei, who was well prepared, quickly recited the script he had practiced, and praised how magnificent Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Empire, was: "Thank you, sir, for remembering. Chang'an has a wonderful scene, and foreign ministers..."
Nangong Hong didn't ask him to do this. He waved his hand and brought the conversation to the main topic: "Okay, don't be so formal. I'm here this time because I have something good for you."
"Please make it clear, sir." When Xiong Fei heard that it was a good thing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
"Your Majesty feels that it is time for Chu State to expand its territory." Nangong Hong said this, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
The foreign minister of one country and the prince of another country said that you should expand your territory. What a fantasy.
Therefore, when he heard what Nangong Hong said, Xiong Fei's first reaction was whether he had heard it wrong. Then after confirming that he had heard it correctly, he spoke awkwardly, his tone full of embarrassment: "Hiss...
Sir, this, this, the Chu State is really weak..."
Even his father, Xiong Biao, did not dare to make the decision on his own in foreign wars. How could he, a prince, dare to plan a war with the diplomatic department of the Tang Empire?
Are you kidding me? How many years has it been since the Chu Kingdom fought a foreign war? The last time it pretended to declare war on the Tang Empire, it failed to penetrate even half a step into the Tang Empire's border and even lost the entire north.
That battle broke the spirit of the Chu State, shattered the ridges of the Chu State, and also broke the dreams of the Chu State. They are now completely at peace. Many nobles wake up every day and pray for the early success of the Tang Empire.
Go south so that they can become true Tang people.
Nangong Hong interrupted the other party's stammering and asked with a smile: "Don't refuse in a hurry! With the support of the empire, are you still afraid that you won't win? And this time I don't let you fight as soon as you come up, but let you
You follow others and take advantage."
"This..." Xiong Fei didn't know what to say for a moment. Can he get involved in this mess?
"Let's put it bluntly, Qin is about to go to war with Shu. They promised that Chu can get some territory in the northern part of Shu." Nangong Hong looked at Xiong Gai who was at a loss and added.
Nangong Hong also knew that he could not make the decision, so he had no intention of discussing it with him. He came here just to ask him to inform Xiong Biao, the king of Chu.
"Ah?" Xiong Fei didn't know what to say. How can he get free territory by hanging out with his elder brother? Is there such a good thing in the world?
"So, you can contact your father and ask him if he is willing to exchange some land." Nangong Hong continued.
"Yes, yes, the foreign minister will contact the father immediately." After Xiong Fei finished saying this, he realized the content of what Nangong Hong just said - what does it mean to exchange some land, and what does this mean?
"Our condition is Nanshan Port! Whatever your father wants, you can ask for it. Nanshan Port belongs to our Tang Empire." Tu Qiong saw that Nangong Hong finally revealed the purpose of talking to Xiong Fei this time.
The Tang Empire wanted an overseas enclave, and what it wanted was the most valuable thing in the Chu Kingdom...Nanshan Port.
"..." Sure enough, nothing is free in this world. Xiong Fei lowered his head with a bitter face and promised Nangong Hong: "The foreign minister knows."
In fact, he was roughly certain that Nanshan Port... I'm afraid it can't be saved.
