Chapter 399 Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish (Part 2)(1/2)
Crazy, cool, domineering.
When Ju Wentai said this, he felt that his life had reached its peak.
What is the Tang Dynasty? It is thousands of miles away from the Western Regions. Can it still be interfered in the Western Regions?
Just as he was thinking, someone outside the palace reported: "Report to the king, there are envoys from the Tang Dynasty outside to ask for a visit."
Well! Hum? The envoy of the Tang Dynasty!
Ju Wentai's legs became weak, but fortunately he sat on Hu's bed and did not lose his composure to sit on the ground.
But even so, I still feel that the two fights and can't hold back the urine.
"Hurry, please ask the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to the palace." Ju Wentai waved his hand and shouted emotionally.
Seeing that the boss was so concerned about the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, someone below quickly stopped him: "King, since we have decided to conquer Yanqi and occupy the business path alone, it is not appropriate to meet the envoys of the Tang Dynasty at this time. If the Tang Dynasty asks us..."
Ju Wentai interrupted his minister and shouted sternly: "Nonsense, when will I take over the trade route? I just think that King Yanqi is as stupid as a pig. He clearly controls the most important part of the trade route, but bandits are rampant. The expedition to Yanqi is just to maintain the stability of the trade route.
Is that true? It seems that I didn’t say that just now!
The ministers looked at each other. Could it be that they were just hallucinating their hearing?
When Xue Rengui walked up to the hall with his head high, he felt that the atmosphere in the hall was very strange. More than a dozen Gaochang ministers looked distorted, smiling and smiling. He wanted to refuse, but he was greeted. He was facing a fat white man (Ju Wentai) with a smile on his face, standing respectfully.
What is this situation? Could it be that there is an ambush in this hall?
Xue Rengui stopped and stopped less than twenty steps away from the entrance of the hall, looking at Ju Wentai vigilantly.
Ju Wentai was not vague and learned the etiquette of the Tang people without saying a word and bowed directly: "Ju Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, pays homage to the envoy of the Celestial Empire."
When everyone in the hall saw that Ju Wentai had bowed, they all bowed down: "We will pay homage to the envoys of the Celestial Empire."
Xue Rengui was even more confused.
More than a month ago, he was a hunter who was hunting in the mountains and had no meals after eating. More than a month later, the lord of a country bowed in front of him with a flattering face.
This made it difficult for Xue Rengui to adapt for a while, and it took him a while to put it in: "Get up."
"Thank you to the envoy of the Celestial Empire." Ju Wentai's waist was almost broken. Hearing this, he quickly straightened his waist, returned to his treasure seat, and said to the waiter beside him: "Why are you still standing there? Don't you return a seat for the envoy of the Celestial Empire."
The waiter was stunned. When the boss mentioned the Tang Dynasty, he looked very bitter and revengeful. Why did he behave so unbearable now? First of all, I will not say anything about it. Now I will give him a seat and I don’t even want to give him a gift?
Can't figure it out, can't figure it out.
With a lot of doubts, when the waiter went out, four people walked back in a pair of exquisite jade chairs.
There is no way, the Western Regions produce this thing. Although it cannot be said that there are more jade than stones, compared with the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, there are definitely countless.
Seeing the four strongmen struggling, Xue Rengui couldn't bear it, so he turned around and walked two steps, poked out his right hand and grabbed the back of the chair and gently lifted it. The whole jade chair left the four people's hands.
Then Xue Rengui asked lightly: "Where is it?"
The strength of the four strong men and how heavy the jade chairs are, and everyone in the palace doesn’t know what they are.
But as a result, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty raised it with one hand.
Damn, or an individual?
"Where is it?" Xue Rengui, who was carrying a jade chair, waited for a long time. Seeing that no one answered, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, and asked again in a deep voice.
"This is the best place." The old man, who was ranked first among the ministers, turned sideways and stammered.
"Oh." Xue Rengui agreed, and walked over with a jade chair, put it down with a "bang", and then sat up.
"Gudu", everyone in the hall swallowed.
At first I thought this jade chair was just a good thing, and the four strong men just pretended to be heavy, but after that "clang", such thoughts no longer existed.
The chair is real, the real jade chair, the ground was smashed without seeing it. How could it be so heavy if it weren't for it.
After realizing this, everyone's eyes at Xue Rengui changed, and they were full of vigilance.
This is a human-shaped ferocious beast. Don’t look at the fact that there are no weapons in your hands, if you really get crazy, no one in the hall can stop it.
Thinking of this, the ministers looked at Ju Wentai with admiration again.
The king is still wise and has changed his attitude early. Otherwise, if this human-shaped beast knew that he and others did not take the Tang Dynasty seriously, they might cause some big trouble.
Ju Wentai showed a calm and gentle look in countless admirable eyes, looking confident. When Xue Rengui sat down, he asked with a smile: "The heavenly kingdom comes from afar, and the hospitality is inconsistent, and everyone can accept it."
"It's okay, that's good." Xue Rengui is still a young boy now. He doesn't know how to be polite or not. He naturally continued: "Stately speaking, I am not the regular envoy of the mission, but the regular envoy sent to fight for the front station, so the king doesn't have to be so polite."
Ju Wentai, who was standing in front of the battle, breathed suddenly, but he quickly returned to normal. He said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I wonder which nobleman of the Tang Dynasty was the general envoy?"
Xue Rengui said proudly: "My general, the commander-in-chief of the Ocean Navy, the waiter of the prince, Li Dejian."
Li, Li Dejian? It turns out to be this God of Wealth!
Li Dejian, who was known as the first disaster in Chang'an, had another nickname in the Western Regions: God of Wealth.
There is nothing worthless in the things he has produced, especially the spinning machine that appeared during this period, which is almost at a sky-high price in the Western Regions. The price of one is not even five or seven hundred guan. It is still a wholesale price. The value of ten guans is worth at least eight hundred guans if you buy it alone.
Now, the God of Wealth is about to arrive in the Western Regions. If he doesn't let anything be left behind, it will be a loss for Gaochang and will be stumbled by future generations.
Thinking of this, Ju Wentai was not concerned about the nonsense of the Tang Dynasty just said, and asked with a smile: "Then, I wonder where Angel Li went? Why didn't he come with the envoy?"
Xue Rengui did not want to conceal Li Hao's whereabouts and said directly: "Tuyuhun Fuyun robbed the business and killed the people of the Tang Dynasty without any reason. My general went to hold him accountable."
"That's how..." Fatty Ju rubbed his round and fat face and said sincerely: "Tuyuhun's approach is really inappropriate, and it should be punished."
Speaking of this, the topic suddenly changed: "It's just that Tuyuhun Fuyun has always been stubborn and I'm afraid he won't give face to Angel Li."
"Yes, my general also means that, so he sent me to the Western Regions and borrowed 50,000 troops from various countries in the Western Regions to block Tuyuhun Fuyun's way to escape west."
Fatty Ju's movements froze slightly and he said in a tangled manner: "Uh..., that envoy, 50,000 military strength... I, Gaochang, can't really take it out."
He just wanted to remind Xue Rengui with kindness. He never expected that the other party would hit the snake and follow the stick. He directly said that he would borrow 50,000 troops. Isn't this a big deal? If there were really 50,000 troops, I would have unified the Western Regions long ago.
Besides, that's Tuyuhun. The biggest force in the Western Regions except the Western Turks will fight him. Even if they win this time, what will happen if they take revenge on me?
Seeing Ju Wentai's shirk responsibility, Xue Rengui was not in a hurry and said calmly: "I know Gaochang can't afford 50,000 military power. My general's intention is to let the countries in the Western Regions get together. When things come to an end, my general will compensate according to the efforts of each family."
"What are you compensated?" Some of the ministers below couldn't help but ask.
"That depends on what countries need. For example, Gaochang, if you can satisfy my general, my general will acquire the white folds produced by your country, and you will receive as much as you can."
As soon as these words came out, the breathing of the people in the hall increased. More than a dozen eyes were filled with green light and looked at Xue Rengui: "Is this true?"
"Take it seriously." Xue Rengui nodded disdainfully.
"The King..." Everyone looked at Ju Wentai again, and the meaning of urging was very obvious.
Ju Wentai didn't expect that Li Hao would give such generous conditions and actually agreed to acquire all the Baidiezi in Gaochang.
You should know that Gaochang is the production place of cotton, and produces a large amount of cotton every year. If it can be sold all of them, the profit will increase by three or four times compared to now.
If Datang really could acquire a large number of people, Gaochang would definitely double the planting. By then, the profit would be more than ten times higher than now.
Nodded, Ju Wentai smiled and said, "Since that's the case, can you let me discuss it? Don't worry, it won't take too long, it will result in about two or three days."
"Of course." Xue Rengui stood up: "After discussing the matter, after the results are concluded, we can send troops directly to the border between Qiemo and Tuyuhun, and this envoy will meet with you there."
Ju Wentai was stunned: "The envoy is leaving?"
"Of course, since Gaochang couldn't gather 50,000 troops, I naturally wanted to go to other countries to see it." Without giving Ju Wentai the opportunity to refuse, Xue Rengui hugged his fists and turned around and walked out of the hall.
The mission is completed, go to the next game.
As for whether Gaochang will really help, Xue Rengui doesn't care at all.
After all, before leaving, Li Hao said that no matter whether the countries in the Western Regions agree or not, they don’t have to worry about it. Just find a small notebook to write it down. When the Tuyuhun matter is handled in the future, they will settle the accounts with them one by one.
Xue Rengui left, leaving straightforward. Just when Gaochang people complained that the Tang people were rude, someone came to report it outside the palace. After Tang Envoy left, he left a carriage and said that a gift was contained in the carriage.
With doubts, Ju Wentai and his ministers left the main hall of the palace, and then unloaded several large boxes from the carriage and opened them.
The moment the box lid was opened, everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes, their faces flushed, and their breathing was heavy.
In the mirror, there is a mirror in each box, which can be seen with light and is so clear that even the pores can be clearly visible.
"Baby, baby." Ju Wentai rushed to the mirror like a rich man from the countryside. He reached out to touch it, but was afraid that the mirror would be broken, and wanted to pick it up, but was afraid that it would fall.
He walked around the mirror that was tall for several times before rubbing his hands and calling the waiter: "Come, come, come, put these treasures up and send them to the princess for the princess to collect them."
What? Everyone on the side was stunned.
We put them all away and sent them to the princess. After we have joined in, we can only take a look. This was left to Gaochang by the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. How could it be your personal private hiding?
"Prince, please be calm." An old man from all the ministers came out.
Ju Wentai frowned and asked, "Su Xingchang, what's wrong?"
Su Xingchang glanced at the people behind him and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, these mirrors were given to me by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I think there should be a more appropriate placement method. If it is included in the harem, it may attract criticism."
Nothing to criticize, you are just envious and jealous.
Ju Wentai rolled his eyelids and said impatiently: "I am the king of Gaochang. I have the final say on how to arrange the treasure mirror given by Emperor Tang. If anyone has any criticism, you can take it to prison."
"Master, think twice!"
Hey, I'm such a bad temper, I'll give you a face, right?
Ju Wentai waved his hand and said angrily: "Thinking about it three times, what do you think you don't know what you mean? I'm not afraid to tell you that this is a treasure mirror given by Emperor Tang, and I'm giving it to you. How many courage do you have to dare to use it? I'm thinking about something all day long and have that mixed thoughts. It's better to think about how to mobilize troops and don't just think about getting benefits.
To be continued...
