Chapter 753 Grasshopper on a Rope
King Enbang was very happy to hear this, and this idea was still reliable.
He pondered for a moment and was about to speak.
Homan spoke again.
"Father, the child still thinks that coming to the capital is the way to entertain guests. Leaving people at the border is a bit negligent!"
It seems that Enbang bows his head and makes sense.
It's his turn to make things difficult for him now.
What should I do?
Not only was he in a dilemma, but the old national teacher Barrick was also looking for new solutions.
I thought about it and thought of a good idea.
The old national teacher Ba immediately bowed and said to the king again.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the Crown Prince is right, and he should receive it from the capital, and he must also send higher-level envoys to negotiate."
After hearing what he said, Enbang was a little unhappy.
"Old beloved, you say this sometimes, and then you say that, what does that mean?"
Barrick was not in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me."
"Since we want the Tang Dynasty to send high-level envoys, our reception must be high-level."
"The old minister thought that thanks His Highness the Crown Prince to personally welcome the envoys of the Tang Dynasty."
As soon as these words were spoken, Homan's nose almost turned crooked.
OK, Barrick, dig a hole for me.
But I really can't say these words.
The old king Enbang was very happy to hear this.
I couldn't help but applaud.
"I'm right, my dear, and we sent the crown prince. In theory, the Tang Dynasty must also send the crown prince."
As he said that, he turned to look at Homan.
"Son, thank you for your hard work to go to the border to pick up Zhang Zijing and the others."
Surrey couldn't help but echo after hearing this.
"His Majesty the King is wise, this is the best way."
At this time, Homan wanted to give his brother-in-law a few tricks.
If you can't come up with some advice, you can make trouble with such things.
Homan was in tears at this moment. How did his perfect plan become like this overnight?
Now, as long as I reach the border, I will pick up Zhang Zijing and the others.
He became a grasshopper in the same line as him.
If Zhang Zijing fails, the first person to be punished must be himself.
The most terrible thing is that after leaving the capital, he lost the opportunity to seize the throne.
My plan to kill two birds with one stone is now a bird.
But now that things have come to this point, it may lead to doubts. He can only pinch his nose and agree.
"Please rest assured, my son will set out to the border immediately to welcome the Tang Dynasty envoy to Guduo City."
...At this time, Shen Buyi had already passed through Weizhou and Chenzhou again.
I saw Bei Hengzhou ahead, and after passing Bei Hengzhou, I left the border.
After leaving the border, it is the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate.
Guo Yang, the governor of Northern Hengzhou, personally went to the border to welcome Shen Buyi.
As soon as they met, Guo Yang still smiled and greeted Princess Zhaoning first, and then clasped his fists at Shen Buyi, "I have met Prince Shen."
Shen Buyi nodded slightly.
"Governor Guo, I have long admired him."
After finishing his politeness, Guo Yang rushed to the prefecture of Beihengzhou and introduced the situation to Shen Buyi.
"Mr. Shen, it is not considered peaceful outside the border now.
There are several remnants of Turkic tribes, who live without a fixed place, and they make a living by plundering passers-by."
Hearing this, Shen Buyi was very surprised.
The Turks have been wiped out for so many years, and there are still remains.
But after thinking about it, it is possible that Ashinadongli is an excellent example?
"Governor Guo, since you know they have remnants, why not clear them out?"
Guo Yang sighed.
"Since Emperor Taizong destroyed the Turks, he has implemented many strategies to appease the border people in all dynasties, and has given more autonomy to these foreign tribes that surrender to our country. These people have wandered among the tribes and were able to get the opportunity to survive."
Chen Buyi agrees with this point, and think about it, how can he survive without a fixed territory, without a fixed source of income, and without relying on speculation?
"Prince Chen, why don't I send more troops and go with you."
Shen Buyi shakes his head.
"There is no need for troops. After all, I am not an official move, so it is inconvenient to be too arrogant."
Chen Buyi didn't realize that the crisis had just begun.
Enter North Hengzhou.
Xiao Guangliang, a man from the northern Hengzhou, had already brought a group of officials to wait at the city gate.
All the officials who can get a higher number came. It was rare for them to see important officials from the court coming, so they naturally wanted to see each other.
Chen Buyi was a little uncomfortable with such a welcome scene. He has never been so grand along the way. Isn’t it a bit too extravagant?
More grand in the back.
A welcome lunch was arranged in the largest restaurant in Beihengzhou.
There are more than a dozen private rooms in the hall, full of seats.
Seeing this scene, Chen Buyi and Princess Zhaoning frowned at the sight.
There are more than a dozen tables, more than a dozen private rooms, and more than twenty tables of banquets in the hall. Just to welcome them, this money will probably cost a lot.
Princess Zhaoning asked quickly, straight to the point.
"Governor Guo, you will have to spend a lot of money on this meal!"
After hearing his words, Guo Yang laughed.
"Don't worry, what you spent is not the money from the official family. This was specially proposed to me by the restaurant owner. We must invite you two to a meal."
There is something like this.
Guo Yang spoke and made a gesture to the person next to him.
"Go and invite Manager Niu."
He had little skill, and a middle-aged man came to Shen Buyi under the leadership of the guard.
Seeing Chen Buyi, he knelt down without saying a word and kowtowed.
"Niu Hu has seen His Highness the Princess and Prince Shen, and kowtowed to your two elders."
Two elders.
Puff.
Princess Zhaoning laughed directly.
Chen Buyi took a step forward, helped him up, and asked softly.
"Why does Manager Niu hold so many banquets? It costs a lot of money."
Niu Hu held Chen Buyi respectfully and clasped his fists.
"Mr. Shen, money is something outside your body. Compared to your life-saving grace, these banquets are not worth mentioning."
After hearing this Chen Buyi, he was even more confused. When did he save this Niu Hu?
Seeing that Shen Buyi was stunned, Niu Hu continued to explain.
"Mr. Chen, last year you went to Qiu'an County to eliminate locusts and disaster relief. My parents and sisters in my family would have starved to death if it weren't for you."
So that's it.
Guo Yang also added beside him, "Yes, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. This sentence is just right for Niu Hu.
The original shopkeeper of this restaurant died of illness last year, and the shopkeeper had no children, so the restaurant handed over to Niu Hu."
So that's how it is. From a young man to a shopkeeper, he only missed his illness.
Chen Buyi has to admire him. This opportunity is really great.
