Chapter 1303: Li Xiaogong's scorched forehead

With several months left before the New Year, Japan and Goguryeo rushed to Chang'an. It seems that the situation between Japan and Goguryeo is tense and neither country can sit still.

Seeing that both sides were full of gunpowder, Li Xiaogong didn't want to take on this job from the bottom of his heart.

However, I am the Minister of Rites and I cannot ignore it.

Li Xiaogong said, "Everyone is a little restless, please follow me to the inn to rest."

The messengers from Japan and Goguryeo then calmed down.

It took an hour to settle all these envoys, and the Zhuque Street in Chang'an became lively.

The originally quiet Chang'an City is full of vitality again.

Li Xiaogong said to the officers and soldiers outside the inn: "Look at it carefully. These two envoys are making trouble. You can never cause any death if you take action."

The officers and soldiers bowed to Li Xiaogong and said, "Hey."

Through the downtown Li Xiaogong came to Chengtian Gate and muttered, "This is such a bad thing."

As soon as he walked into Chengtian Gate, Li Xiaogong ran into the crown prince of the East Palace, Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian bowed to Li Xiaogong and said, "I have met my uncle."

Li Xiaogong also bowed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian asked, "I just left the court and planned to walk around. I heard that the messengers from Japan and Goguryeo have arrived."

Lee Hyo-gong sighed, "It's all bad things."

Li Chengqian smiled, "Of course I can't hide from my uncle even when he is in his position."

Li Xiaogong also said: "This should be done. I have to go to meet Your Majesty, so I will say goodbye first."

Lee Chengqian saluted again politely, "Uncle walks slowly."

As soon as I settled the envoys from Japan and Goguryeo, I ran into His Royal Highness the Prince. At this moment, there was a Su Wo Li in the inn, and Li Xiaogong's mind was already in chaos.

I didn't know what to do at this moment, so I came to the Ganlu Palace and walked into the hall with a tough forehead.

Li Shimin was discussing the next imperial examination with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji.

He looked up and looked at Li Xiaogong who was standing aside and silent when he came to the hall. Li Shimin said, "Let's do it first, you three should discuss it well."

The three of them saluted and turned around and left.

Looking at Li Xiaogong again, Li Shimin said, "Are you here?"

Li Xiaogong walked up and said, "Your Majesty's expansion of the Ministry of Rites has not yet been settled. Now the people have arrived. I am really unable to do anything."

Looking at Li Xiaogong's worried look, Li Shimin said: "It's all right, do you still want to hide?"

Li Xiaogong said carefully and repeatedly: "I still have to go to find Li Zheng, but this matter cannot be done without Li Zheng."

Li Shimin said: "Since Li Zheng is the Minister of Rites, it is reasonable to let him handle this matter. You should know what to do if you are in a hurry."

Li Xiaogong bowed and said, "I understand."

Li Shimin continued: "Outsiders don't know about some things, but you, Li Xiaogong, knows it in your heart."

Li Xiaogong said, "I will make arrangements now."

After walking out of Ganlu Hall, Li Xiaogong let out a long sigh. It was said that the Ministry of Rites was a casual servant. He heard others say that he was appointed as the Minister of Rites.

I have been sitting in this position for so many years, but I didn’t expect that I would have so many troubles now.

It is said that making achievements is the prince of Hejian, the royal family, should be a day to sit in his own house and spend time.

How come there are so many bad things?

Walking all the way out of the palace, Li Xiaogong accelerated his pace in annoyance.

When he arrived outside Chengtian Gate, Li Xiaogong saw Xu Jingzong standing outside the gate.

Li Xiaogong continued to walk along the way and said, "What's wrong? Li Zheng has already received the news?"

Xu Jingzong followed with his hands in his sleeves and said, "I have received the news."

Li Xiaogong stopped and wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. He looked at Xu Jingzong's smiling face and took another step and walked for a while.

After walking for a while, Li Xiaogong stopped and looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "How do you think you should arrange this matter?"

Xu Jingzong blinked and said, "What should I arrange?"

Li Xiaogong whispered to him: "Su Woli is now locked in the inn, and now the Japanese envoy has arrived."

Xu Jingzong said: "Don't let them meet first. Keep them in the inn for three days. After three days, take Su Woli to Jingyang first, and then bring the two envoys from the two countries in the inn to Jingyang."

After walking all the way to the door of Li Xiaogong's mansion, Xu Jingzong then said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Li Xiaogong walked into his mansion and said, "I won't send it to you now."

The first day the envoys of the two countries came to the inn was quite comforting.

The next day, the fight started because of the question of the order of eating between the two sides.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers stopped him in time.

Li Xiaogong, who was already taking a nap at home, heard the officers and soldiers coming to report and asked lazyly: "Have you started?"

The officer and soldier replied: "I did take action, and the noise is quite loud."

Li Xiaogong asked again: "Is anyone dead?"

The officer and soldier replied: "I'm not dead but I've smashed a lot of things."

Li Xiaogong closed his eyes again and said, "It's good that no one is dead, let them compensate for the broken things."

After saying that, Li Xiaogong was about to go to bed, and the officers and soldiers said, "Prince of Hejian, don't you go and have a look?"

Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said like driving a flies: "What do you think? As long as you don't have a life, they can make trouble."

The prince of Hejian said so, so the officers and soldiers had to do so.

On the third day, the envoys from both countries had been in the inn for three days, and everyone could not sit still. The court seemed to leave everyone in the inn without caring about it.

Someone asked the officers and soldiers, but they didn't say anything.

This made many people even more anxious.

At present, Goguryeo and Japan are going to war, and the two countries are fighting happily. It is time for the Tang Dynasty to uphold justice, but there seems to be no reply from the Tang Dynasty.

Some people couldn't sit still and wanted to leave the inn, but were stopped by the officers and soldiers and refused to leave the inn at all.

On the fourth day, Li Xiaogong got up early and saw Xu Jingzong standing outside the door.

Seeing Xu Jingzong, Li Xiaogong said with a clear expression: "The reason for keeping them for three days is that Li Zheng wants them to wait and be anxious. As long as they are anxious, the conditions will be easy to negotiate after they are anxious."

Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly and said, "The Prince of Hejian is joking. If you want them to wait in a hurry, you can wait ten or half a month. However, in these three days, Chang'an Ling got sick and couldn't meet guests."

Li Xiaogong frowned and said, "What?

He is ill again and will be dead soon?"

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said, "Not that, it's just that the seasons change come quickly, and he's caught a cold. He's already much better now, and he's a little bit wrong."

Li Xiaogong walked out of the mansion and said, "Tell me, how to arrange it."

Following Li Xiaogong all the way to the inn, Xu Jingzong said all the way: "Take Su Wo Li to Jingyang first, and after an hour, you will take the Japanese envoy and Goguryeo envoy to Jingyang."

Li Xiaogong looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "I have agreed that Li Zheng will do the next thing whenever he arrives in Jingyang."
