In late spring and early summer, the morning sun shines on the city walls and becomes warm.

Ten miles west of Chang'an, the Han and Hu markets are crowded with people. On the roads, Hu merchants in the Western Regions led camels through the bustling pedestrians, and camel bells jingled and swayed gently.

Hu Yinman, the Western Regions musician fiddled with the fire. The beautiful Hu Ji stepped on the exotic dance barefoot, shook her bare feet, and threw her charming eyes at the passers-by, causing the spectators below to shout loudly, throw away the copper coins, and fall under the hem of the flying skirt.

"Xiao Family Wontons, May Fatty Grilled Meat, are made of filling, delicious, refreshing and tender!"

"Spring fragrant soup, excellent tea leaves and almonds are cooked. You can boil them if you don't drink them. They are golden and pleasant."

"......On there, I want a serving of goose fat!!"

"Hey, come out soon, there's a fun time to watch-"

Someone roared, in the noisy and lively long street, some servants carried water and fire sticks to disperse people. The fork sticks separated the passing people from both sides of the road. Looking at the end of the road, several different flags were raised high, and several teams of Western Regions with different costumes came towards this side. Most of them were Western Regions Hu people with high noses and deep eyes, and Turks wearing leather hats and furs, riding on horseback, looking at Chang'an Hanhu on both sides of the road, and slightly raised their faces.

This team was sent by the four Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Yiwu, and Turkic countries. They came to Chang'an to pay tribute. The news had spread a few days ago. It was not seen for a long time that the Hu people from foreign countries had such a grand ceremony to the upper states of the Celestial Kingdom. When they entered the city, the people who watched the fun almost squeezed out the neighborhoods in the west of Chang'an.

"This group of Hu people are really tactful and finally knows that they have come to pay homage to me, Emperor Sui."

"......Hmph, don't you come? Do you want to be like the Turkic sand... Khan? One hundred thousand Turkic people are destroyed day and night. In terms of martial arts, how can I compare to these Hu people?"

"Brother, what's right. Are these Hu people here now... Alas, why are there some weird guys in the Hu people team below? They wear hoods in broad daylight, so they don't feel hot?"

In the eyes of the people watching the fun on the second floor, there were a few figures in the middle of the team passing by the street, wearing cloaks or wearing strange clothes, and they didn't care about the rambling words around them. They sat on the horse and followed the team all the way to the inn where they were staying.

"Prince Tuyuhun, King Gaochang, Yiwu, Turkic envoy, please here."

The team stopped, and the officials of the Honglu Temple invited envoys from the four countries to enter the inn and explained the tribute matters on the way. It was probably the four of them who had to rest in the hall for two days before they could enter the court to meet the saint.

Then he arranged specific matters of food and accommodation, and entered the wing room of the hotel in turn. After the passage, it was already evening, and the officials of the Honglu Temple left tiredly.

The night gradually darkened.

In the small courtyard of the east hall, Tuyuhun guards guarded the various places. The window frames with lights were lit and there was a slight sound. Soon, the door creaked open, and a figure with a hooded hood, with a gray robe, half-beaked and retreated from the inside.

"The prince rests early and leave the rest to us."

The hunched body shrank his hands in his sleeves, slowly walked through the corner of the corridor from the guards' gaze, entered one of the rooms, and the candlesticks standing on the table, with a light bang, and a fire jumped to illuminate the furnishings in the room.

The man took off his hood, revealing his thin and narrow face, long beard and white eyebrows, slightly hooked nose, and sat quietly on the stool with his hands crossed, looking at the swaying candlelight, slowly closing his eyes.

The candlelight as big as a bean instantly turned green.

"Everyone, I'll see the Emperor of Sui early the next morning. How do you think you are doing?"

There was no sound on my slightly opened lips, but there was a word coming from the room to the rest of the inn. The night breeze blew across the courtyard, and it was quiet for a while, and the sound of magic power was slowly spoken.

"If Gaochang Kingdom doesn't follow me, then ignore it. Early the next morning, let the Emperor of Sui be fascinated and take the opportunity to kill me! Avenge my revenge for the Turks!"

"Hmph, if you kill someone else's emperor in court, you will take revenge. It doesn't matter if you die. How can I escape from Buddha and I? People who practice Taoism in the Central Plains are not decorations."

The voice of the speech was a woman, and there was no distinction between the words that were pulled by magic power, and almost everyone could understand it. The old man in Tuyuhun here also agreed with her.

"After the Central Plains dynasty, they will be defeated and their power will be defeated. What's more, the emperor of Sui has only ascended the throne for two years, and he doesn't know whether he is a wise king or a tyrant. If he kills a wise king, it would be fine. If he kills a tyrant king, wouldn't we be a big favor to the Sui Kingdom this trip? If an emperor who ascended the throne is a wise king, wouldn't we be embarrassed?"

In the Turkic courtyard, Fayin was silent for a moment, stopped talking to the national masters of these two countries, and retreated.

Yiwu and Tuyuhun did not care about the withdrawal of the Turkic envoy. They continued to talk about some details about the next day, and the woman on Yiwu suddenly interrupted her.

"Fu Lianzun, you seem to have forgotten that there is also a national teacher in the Sui Kingdom."

"I have heard some rumors that people from the south of Sui State are like Lu and the people in the south of Sui State... the rest are not clear. I think they are the same age as me in the coming year. Then I will fight with him. You can play with the emperor of Sui State. It is best to be fascinated by him."

"Haha... psychedelic art, but what I am best at, Fo Lianzun, you can watch it."

The night wind whimpered and ran across the eaves, and the sounds of the two courtyards gradually disappeared. As time passed, night passed, fish belly white appeared in the east, morning light shone out from the gaps of clouds and fell to the imperial city. In the Xuanzheng Hall, the usual speech was completed, and the envoys from the four kingdoms entered the court to meet the saints.

"...Tuyuhun has occupied the important roads of the Southern Silk Road for many years, and is nominally kind to our Great Sui Dynasty, but he has never stopped doing it in detail. He often inquire about the situation in our Sui Dynasty, which is a ulterior motive."

"Your Majesty, what Secretary Su said is very much." Among the ministers, Min Changwen, whose hair was white, bowed out and bowed to the Jinjie: "The former emperor's method of Thunder, was to be severely injured by the Turks and intimidate the small countries in all directions. This time, the four countries invited each other to come to worship, and they must have other intentions. To pay tribute tomorrow, the national troops from other countries should not be allowed to enter the palace."

In the first row of civil and military officials in the hall, Yang Su closed his eyes and listened, humming, without waiting for the emperor on the dragon throne to speak, he opened his eyes and walked out.

"When Minister Min did this, wouldn't it be obvious that there was no one in the Sui Dynasty? Let these small foreign countries make jokes."

The old man looked majestic and bowed to Yang Guang, and his eyes swept away the civil and military officials behind him.

"If these Hu people really want to fall into the power of our Great Sui tomorrow, I can come here. I have never been afraid of fighting in the south and north?"

As he said that, he turned to face the golden stairs and bowed to the emperor above: "Your Majesty, let me serve you tomorrow!"

The hall is quiet, and the lights are shaking.

Yang Guang, who was sitting upright on the dragon chaise, had his beard relaxed, and he smiled, stretched out his hand and waved to one side: "Everyone, you learn more about the Duke of Yue. The old ministers are not convinced of their old age. This is what I should look like in the Great Sui Dynasty."

Bang!

Between the spreading dragon sleeves, the dragon sleeves were swept, and the palms were slapped heavily on the armrest of the dragon chair, and the vibrating crown and bead curtains swayed on the top of the head.

"I think, a great country can't let the little one jump up and down? All the ministers have expressed their ideas. It's very good... I have my own way to deal with them, and I will scatter the court!"

Yang Guang carried his sleeves, took the eunuchs to the nearby stairs, strode down the golden steps, and turned to the back hall. His eyebrows were filled with a lustful aura. He grabbed the branches that reached into the eaves of the corridor, and broke them with a "splash" and pulled off the eaves columns.

......This Yang Su.

While murmuring, the eunuch who was following behind him stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the master of the national teacher, are still waiting."

“Where is it?”

"Xianjuyuan."

Xianjuyuan was built by Yang Jian during his lifetime. For a while, I was quite envious of Lu Liangsheng, so I temporarily planned to build this courtyard. There were no common rockery and water pavilions, mostly ancient cypress and old camphor trees. Among the small paths of the flowerbed, there was a seven-story wooden building full of wind chimes and ribbons.

Yang Guang came here. In the pavilion in the distance, an old man with white robe and white beard sat with tea. As if he heard footsteps approaching, he put down the tea cup in his hand and smiled and stroked the white beard.

"Your Majesty, is it a matter for the envoys of the four countries to summon Lao Immortal, who is the idle man of the idle clouds and wild cranes? I have already calculated one or two of them."
