Chapter 523
"Hmph! For my son, if you don't do it, don't do it. When my son takes the imperial examination, I will go back to my hometown to farm with peace of mind!"
These people chatted in the tavern, and almost every sentence was related to the recent new policies implemented by Emperor Li Neng or Li Neng.
The previous court policies would not have caused such great discussion among the people. A Tubo Zampo would not have made the people so excited when he entered Chang'an City. The reason for this is actually very simple, that is, the people are no longer worried about being hungry and cold.
They can all eat and wear well, get married and have children, and they have some spare money when they are together in Chang'an City, so there are naturally more opportunities to enjoy life and pay attention to state affairs.
Another reason is that the new policies implemented by Li Yuan are all closely related to the lives of the people, which can greatly enhance the people's sense of inclusion.
Anyway, before Chi Song Dezan could wait for Tai Chi Palace, the news that he had entered the city had already spread to most of Chang'an City.
"Zanpu, these people from the Tang Dynasty seem to be very interested in us."
Shui Rou looked through the window of the carriage and saw that the people along the way pointed at their carriage, without any fear at all. Instead, their waists were straight.
This is different from the arguments she has heard in Tubo over the past few years. According to the Tubo people's ideas, the people of the Tang Dynasty were afraid of them, and it was like a mouse seeing a cat.
But when she saw it today, she felt that she was sitting in the carriage like a mouse.
"They are not interested in us, that's their business. Now is not the time to see them. Otherwise, if we are not good at that time, we will have to be neighbors with them all our lives."
Shui Rou naturally knew what Chisong Dezan meant. She looked at Chisong Dezan who was getting a little more restless and sighed, no longer causing trouble for him at this time.
"Zanpu, a person from Taiji Palace came. It was said that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty took the empress and the imperial concubine to hunt today. I am afraid that there is no time to meet Zanpu. We will get a rest in the inn and wait for the summoning of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
The carriage was almost at the gate of Tai Chi Palace, and suddenly the guards outside said this.
"Since I'm not in Tai Chi Palace, why didn't I say it earlier? It seems that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to make things difficult for Zanpu!"
Shui Rou naturally would not believe that Li Neng really took the queen and the imperial concubine to hunt. Although she was smart, she couldn't help but complain, as she was used to being able to hold the stars in the Tubo Palace.
"Now we are guests in the imperial city of the Tang Dynasty. Since we are guests, we naturally have to listen to the master. Along the way, aren't you just persuading me to accept this? Why can't you accept it first when you get here?"
All this seemed to be as expected by Chisong Dezan. He comforted Shui Rou for a few words, and then ordered the carriage to go to the inn.
After arriving at the inn, Chisong Dezan breathed a little relieved. Li Neng obviously did not make things difficult for him at the residence. He arranged a top-floor upper room in the inn to himself and his wife, and he also had all the food and drink.
"Come on, since we come, we will be at peace. We have to be prepared for a long time here. Fortunately, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not restrict your freedom. Tomorrow I will take you to the legendary East-West Market in Chang'an City for a walk!"
Obviously, Chisong Dezan was still trying hard to adjust his mentality. Although Shui Rou must have whatever he wanted in Tubo, she had heard of the complexity of things in the two cities of the Tang Dynasty since she was a child. So after Chisong Dezan made such a suggestion, she nodded in agreement.
Li Qing's hunting was a total of five days without summoning Chisong Dezan. The treatment was simply not as good as the Tubo envoy when several emperors before the Tang Dynasty were reigned.
However, the more Li Li did, the more Chi Song Dezan knew that he might have been right this time. What does this mean? It shows that Li Li was angry about him and wanted to hit him. Why was he angry? Isn’t this a very obvious thing? He was helping our country to provide a foothold for the assassins. He judged that it must have been exposed, but Li Li might not have spent time to clean up himself before.
Five days later, in Tai Chi Palace, Li Neng was also learning about Chi Song Dezan's situation in the past few days from an imperial guard general. It was his idea to deliberately leave Chi Song Dezan alone.
Tubo is not like the Uighurs. He was quite friendly to the Tang Dynasty before, and he said whatever he could. The Tubo people were so mean that they didn't look like they were so mean because the Tang Dynasty had taken the initiative to send his daughters twice and had to fight a war. Therefore, it was very necessary for Chisong Dezan to come this time.
"How are Chisong Dezan in the inn these days?"
"Your Majesty, he has nothing unusual. He just took his wife to the East and West Market for several days in a row. He went there almost every day when the market opened and went back late at night. He also wore our Tang Dynasty costumes to eat and drink in the tavern. He looked very satisfied with the life in Chang'an City."
After hearing this, Li Li raised his eyebrows slightly and waved his hand to let the imperial guards go down, thinking that I underestimated this little brother.
He originally thought that after Chisong Dezan came, he would not be anxious to be like the ant on the hot pan and the shrimps in the boiling water, but now it seems that they are really fine!
It's okay, it means that before coming here, he made full preparations and figured everything out. Only in this way can he have a good attitude.
"Since that's the case, it's no point in leaving him alone. I brought one of my ladies. This is to prepare for a long-term battle..."
Li Neng said something on his own, then thought about it and headed for Zhang Mingyue's bedroom.
"Empress, in two days, I may summon Tubo Zanpu and his wife in Tai Chi Palace. If the talks are good, I will hold a banquet in the side hall to entertain them. Then you and Feng Yi will go there to see if you can find anything out of his wife's mouth."
Zhang Mingyue and Feng Yi already knew about Tubo Zanpu and his wife to Chang'an City, but this was a matter of the previous dynasty, and they usually didn't ask about it. Now that he heard that Li Qing was going to hold a banquet in Tai Chi Palace, Zhang Mingyue was a little surprised. After all, Li Qing in her eyes seemed to not pay much attention to tribal leaders like Tubo and Uighurs.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, but what if His Majesty has a bad conversation with him?"
