Chapter 46 Wolf's Ambition

"Foreign minister Shang Zanduo bowed to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Shang Zanduo bowed and bowed, making a lot of etiquette, with a respectful look, and his expression reflected the admiration of Tubo, the uncle's country's uncle's country's admiration for the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing Pei Min's words yesterday, Li Longji also realized that the thieves and wolves of foreign countries should not be trusted easily. They would not retreat because of their politeness and tolerance for a moment, but would become even more aggressive. Now the Tang Dynasty is indeed not suitable for war, and they do not want to deal with this military affairs. But if they really want to fight, they are not afraid. For this reason, Li Longji is not so concerned about Shang Zandu, the group of Tubo envoys, and does not receive them personally. He directly asked the Ministry of Rites to entertain him with state guests. However, he did not expect Shang Zandu to come to the door to meet him unexpectedly.

Li Longji said calmly: "The messenger is exempt from gifts. I wonder if the messenger can have fun today?"

"The Tang Dynasty's outstanding people and spirits compete for their youth, and the foreign ministers were dazzled and reluctant to leave." Shang Zanduo, as an envoy between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, had a very good cultural level and was not inferior to the world's most learned people. All kinds of idioms were free to speak without any awkwardness. His expression was full of yearning, but in fact he was extremely unhappy. Today, the Ministry of Rites arranged for them to visit Dacien Temple and raft on the Qujiang River. Visiting Dacien Temple inevitably had to go to see the Yanta Morning Bell, one of the eight scenic spots. The Yanta Pagoda is Pei

Min's sword book's fame has increased by more than one level. Looking at Pei Min's sword book, Shang Zandu remembered what happened last night. If it weren't for Pei Min, how could they have lost such a big face in Tubo? Even a talent with high martial arts skills was damaged. When traveling to Qujiang again, the official of the Ministry of Rites introduced the history of Qujiang and talked about the Qujiang banquet. Pei Min once again brought it up to the official of the Ministry of Rites without any thoughts. Shang Zandu was full of Pei Min, but it was difficult to show that he didn't like it, so he could only hold it back in his heart.

Li Longji said politely: "Since the messenger likes it, then stay for a few more days."

Shang Zanduo instantly burst into tears, and tears fell down his cheeks.

Li Longji did not expect that Shang Zanduo would have such a change, and asked in surprise: "Why did the outsider cry?"

Shang Zanduo choked and said, "Looking at the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, I think of my poor Tubo, and the people are not covered in clothes. My grief arises from my heart. I can't help but shed tears. Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Your great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is like the bright moon in the world. Your kindness is as great as your mother. Foreign ministers dared to ask Your Majesty for the sake of my suffering people. The people who were not suffering from Tubo, so that my Tubo people can admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty with foreign ministers; I gave me Tubo agricultural medicine books, so that my Tubo people can not suffer from hunger, and they can be effectively cured when they are sick; I gave me Tubo craftsmen, so that my Tubo people can live in a warm house to avoid the pain of cold and freezing..." He said incredibly miserable, and he knocked on the ground with one head, and was extremely pious, treating Li Longji as a saint.

If it were before, Li Longji would have been very moved when facing Shang Zandu's performance as an actor, so he promised his request and gave it to the craftsmen to the books to reflect the kindness of the Celestial Kingdom. However, the walk with Pei Min last night made him realize that Tubo came to the Tang Dynasty this time to make a fortune before breaking up. Helping them is like a farmer who helps snakes, and he cannot get any benefits.

"The foreign historian's words moved me!" Li Longji also looked moved with emotion. Looking at Shang Zanduo, who was already secretly happy, he changed his tone and said, "It is just that classics, history books, agricultural and medical books were written by the people of the Tang Dynasty with their hard work. If I give them to you in vain, I will not be able to explain it. In this way, the Tang Dynasty now lacks military horses, and you exchange books with us with military horses. The exchanges between the countries should be taken from each other, and they should benefit each other. What do you think about the foreign ones?"

Shang Zandu couldn't say a shocked sentence, and he said with a stern tongue: "I wonder how His Majesty the Emperor plans to exchange it?"

Li Longji pondered: "Knowledge is priceless and wealth is worthwhile. I will not make things difficult for you. As long as you prepare 100,000 troops and horses, I will give you tens of thousands of books. What should I do if the foreign envoys see?"

Shang Zanduo kowtowed and said, "The foreign ministers are not allowed to make a decision after going back to discuss with me Zanpu."

Li Longji smiled and said, "Please wait for the good news!"

Watching Shang Zanduo leave, Gao Lishi chuckled from the side: "The barbarians in the country are indeed uneasy."

Li Longji's eyes flashed with a cold light and said, "Did you see it too?"

Gao Lishi said: "Shang Zanduo came to ask for classics and history books at this time, and his purpose should be those books in the General's Mansion. As long as His Majesty is right today, they can mix the two types of books together. The books are gifts from the imperial court. No one dares to check them in and out of our Tang Dynasty. They can easily transport all the books to Tubo."

"I'm trampling on the inside and out, and I'm going to be ambitious! I'll never let it go!" Li Longji was angry and murderous intent was everywhere in his eyes.

"hateful!"

Shang Zanduo returned to the Siyi Pavilion, slapped the table in annoyance, and his chest was up and down. Thinking that Li Longji did not play according to the norm today, he was so angry that he shouted: "I, Tubo, one day, will come to Chang'an, so that Li Tang knows that I, Tubo, is the real overlord."

Deputy envoy Lang Chile said on the side: "What happened today seems a bit abnormal. We must prepare earlier and send out the books from Yang's mansion as soon as possible."

Speaking of the serious matters, Shang Zanduo calmed down and said, "That's the case, but even more than 20 big trucks can't hold it. How can we send it? Without the cover of Emperor Li Tang, how can we not be suspicious?" Their intentions were the same as Gao Lishi guessed. Under the guise of books given by Li Longji, they mixed the precious books Yang Ju collected over the years into it, and brought them back to Tubo with openness.

But now Li Longji rejected their request, the method obviously won't work.

After thinking for a while, Shang Zanduo said: "It's already this point, it's unlikely that you want to bring all 100,000 books back to Tubo. You can find a way to notify General Yang and ask him to choose and sort out books such as construction and technology, medical prescriptions, medical treatises, farming and farming. These miscellaneous studies are the real way to make a strong country. As for the Confucian theory of distinguishing good and evil, you can temporarily ignore it. Shrink 100,000 books to 10,000 books as much as possible, and how to send them out, we are too eye-catching and inconvenient to move. Contact Feng Yuan and ask him to consult with the general, and let the general find a way to transport 10,000 books out of Chang'an. Feng Yuan then arranges people to take over. Remember to increase the reward from the original 30% to 60%. At this time, don't be reluctant to spend money. Knowledge is priceless, and those 10,000 books will benefit me from Tubo endlessly."

Lang Chile took the order and left.

Changshoufang safe house.

Pei Min met with Sun Zhou again, this time only they and Wang Xiaobai, who was in charge of contact.

Sun Zhou is now the most important piece of victory or defeat in his hands. Pei Min didn't expect Sun Zhou to have any accidents and ruin the overall situation.

"How can we find out?" Pei Min, with Li Longji's permission, had the right to capture Tubo as long as everything was true. Now they had nothing to lack, only people were sent to capture the stolen goods.

Sun Zhou said strangely: "Things seem to have changed. Yang Manchu's books on craftsmanship, medical discussions, farming and other books were transported away. I remember Feng Yuan said that he wanted them all, but for some reason, he only had a part of them."

Pei Min naturally knew the reason. In fact, the easiest way to deal with Shang Zandu and Yang Ju was to use the trick. Li Longji could agree to Shang Zandu's request today, and then stop them and search them when Shang Zandu returned to Tubo. The people and stolen goods were captured, which was simple and easy. But doing so only eliminated the power of Tubo in the open face, and the chess pieces in their darkness, that is, the power controlled by Feng Yuan, were still intact.

They wanted to capture all the power controlled by Feng Yuan in one go, and they had no choice but to walk a difficult road, and to use Shang Zan's chess pieces from the darkness in Tubo to turn the dark chess into a bright piece.

When I learned that all the people who were lucky enough to be miscellaneous. Pei Min's eyes were the hostile apprentice. Miscellaneous learning is the true cultural crystallization. The wisdom and experience accumulated by their ancestors over thousands of years of research and little by little. How can the barbarians steal it by such means?

After a rough explanation of fate, Sun Zhou was meticulous and thought through the causes and consequences.

Pei Min asked, "Do you know where they hid all those books?"

Sun Zhou shook regretfully and said, "We are all in the Yang family's ancestral home, and they are very careful in doing things. First, they sorted out all 10,000 books based on the excuse that the mansion was not big enough and could not post so many, and transported more than 10,000 books to the ancestral home in the east of the city. I informed Xiaobai to follow him secretly, and now the more than 10,000 books have been moved into the Yang family's ancestral home. The Yang family's ancestral home was abandoned for many days, and only a few maids in charge of daily care. As long as a little arrangement, the 10,000 books will disappear without a trace. The Chief Secretary also asked to send someone to monitor the ancestral home of the Yang family." After a pause, he said, "Even if Yang Ju is counting." The amount has been reduced by ten times, but more than ten thousand books are not a small number. If you want to transport them out of Chang'an if you don't find them, you must have special means. I accidentally found a piece of news today, but I don't know if it is useful." He didn't keep it a secret and said directly: "Yang Ju packed a flower boat, as if he planned to invite friends to go out for a banquet. Yang Ju is rich and spends money like water, which is well known. But he spends most of his money on women, and rarely invites people to go out for a trip. I have been working in the Yang family for many years, and this is the first time I heard about it. So I guessed that they might be planning to send ten thousand books out of Chang'an with flower boats."

Pei Min pondered for a while and agreed: "Your thinking is very clear and your speculation is very reasonable. You should not be wrong. Use Qujiang to leave Chang'an, enter the Wei River, and send tens of books out of Chang'an." He thought in his mind: It is true that there are officials in the Wei River cruises and law enforcement, but law enforcement officials are mostly staring at merchant ships, but they are loose about flower ships. If there are some uninformed officials on the flower ship, there is no need to check it. As expected, they can make a good plan...

This is just right, which also shows that Yang Ju is only responsible for transportation, and must be responsible for transporting and receiving at the agreed location... Those people are undoubtedly made by Tubo.

It seems that I am going to visit Pingkangfang...
