0905 Saints have love, and Fan people are lucky

When the Tubo envoys were still continuing to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty, the Gar family, as the core of the conflict, was not idle, but made full use of the commercial opportunities provided by the Tang Dynasty and seized the time to exchange the materials they urgently needed.

Zan Po, who stayed in Chang'an, has been busy with this matter recently. After receiving his letter, Haixi was not idle and immediately responded. Even in his letter from his brother Qinling, Zan Po was criticized for being too conservative. Since he had obtained such an opportunity, he should increase the trade volume.

After receiving this letter from Qinling, Zan Po was also a little amused and crying for a moment. His brother was wise and powerful on the battlefield, like a god possessed, but in other aspects, he was relatively inferior.

Now without the entire Tubo as a backing, the Gar family was already in a weak state in the negotiation process with the Tang Dynasty, and the initiative in many things was not on their side. Even if the Tang Dynasty allowed each other to trade this time, whether it would be fulfilled as promised in the end, is still waiting for the facts to test. If the Tang Dynasty intends to cheat and breach the contract, but they blindly optimistically increase the trade volume, it will be a fatal blow to Haixi.

What's more, the decision on the trade volume between each other is not in their hands. Even if the Gar family wants to increase, the Tang Dynasty may not agree.

But let’s not talk about these miscellaneous matters for the time being. As the first batch of agreed dealers started shipping from Chang'an City and the final delivery will be completed in Shanzhou, Longyou, Zanpo’s always tense heartstrings slightly relaxed.

Although the quantity of this batch of commercial goods is not enough to completely supplement the material shortage in Haixi, at least it can solve the urgent problem. With this successful experience, if you negotiate similar behaviors later, you will naturally be more efficient.

However, Zanpo's relaxed mood could not last long. Soon, the news that Tubo envoy Wei Gonglu visited Queen Xikang reached his ears, which immediately made Zanpo nervous again.

They have been in a hostile attitude for a long time. Even if Zan Po is not present, they can naturally think that when the envoy of the middle school of the country would never have any good words to their Gar family when they were talking to Queen Xikang.

So the day after Ye Ali met Wei Gonglu, Zanpo visited the Xikang Palace in the name of congratulations. Of course, this was not just an excuse. Zanpo's visit this time did bring many valuable treasures.

The Gar family has been entrenched in Qinghai for many years and is the first country in Tubo for a long time. Naturally, it is not poor. It was only for a long time excluded from the Tang Dynasty's commercial network, and money cannot be cashed on a large scale.

The reason why he was able to trade with the Tang Dynasty this time was that although the Tang Dynasty was considering the border situation, Ye Ali's recommendation was also helpful. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Zanpo to simply meet the saints of the Tang Dynasty and finalize this important event for his own future. I am afraid that they are still trapped in the capital and cannot enter.

So Zan Po was very generous this time. A batch of treasures that had just arrived in Chang'an. Zan Po originally planned to leave some of them to handle other personnel relations, but he did not expect that the envoys from the middle school of the country would return so quickly, which also showed that Zan Po was anxious about the next move.

Given this situation, Zanpo did not intend to continue to develop other personnel relationships in Chang'an City. The most important point at the moment is to grasp the line of Queen Ye Ali of Xikang. As long as Ye Ali's attitude here will not be repeated, other things can be continued later.

Therefore, the treasures of more than a dozen carts were personally escorted by Zan Po to the Xikang residence of Guanglufang, which did not violate his previous promise to prepare a generous gift for the Queen of Xikang in front of the saints of the Tang Dynasty.

Although there are many people who came to the residence to congratulate him recently, there are only ones who are generous with politeness like Zan Po. The subordinates in the mansion did not dare to accept it at will, and hurriedly reported to the mansion.

When Ye Ali heard the news, the front hall of the mansion had been cleared by the officials, and Zan Po was directing his entourage to carry the treasures and gifts one by one, and then placed them in the open space of the outer hall without any concealment.

Ye Ali's Xikang fiefdom was originally the most important transit station for the Tang-Tibet trade. He had almost no desire for money. But after seeing Zan Po's behavior, he was still very surprised. He stepped forward and looked at the other party and said, "Chang'an and Haixi are far apart, but it is already touching to be able to keep this in mind. Why should we be poor and use the power of the characters again!"

"Some vulgar things are not enough to express deep affection. This time, His Royal Highness the Princess helped her deeply and should be repaid."

After hearing this, Zan Po said with a smile, and waved his hand to signal his followers to continue transporting. On weekdays, he is not such a person who is keen on exaggerating and showing off, but a few days ago, a junior high school envoy came to visit. He showed off so much that he was also for those of the junior high school.

The transportation and acceptance of the gifts were busy with subordinates. After watching for a while, Ye Ali invited Zan Po to return to the middle hall. After sitting down, she did not hide it. She looked at Zan Po and said with a smile: "This time the general came to Chang'an, I really care about too many people's thoughts..."

During the greetings, she briefly repeated the words Wei Gonglu had said in the hall yesterday, but she didn't say much about the response she gave.

After listening to it, Zan Po's thoughts were naturally overturned, but his expression remained calm on the surface. After Ye Ali finished speaking, he sighed first, and then said: "This kid Wei is a skillful guy who can live up to his family's studies."

He made this evaluation, and naturally pointed out that the Wei family style was cunning and should not be trusted. Since Ye Ali was willing to tell him about the situation, he naturally did not agree with Wei Gonglu's words from the bottom of his heart. If he was impatient and forced to persuade him, he would destroy their mutual trust.

When Ye Ali heard Zan Po say this, he smiled slightly, and then said, "If the general does not object, I will include you on the concierge list and submit it to the court together?"

"It is my honor to be honored to be in such a good ceremony, so how could I object?"

Zan Po replied with a smile, but under this smile, he sighed a long time in his heart. One of the reasons why he stayed in Chang'an was to wait for Ye Ali's wedding. If there was no such thing as a junior high school envoy, this matter would naturally be nothing.

However, the messenger returned so quickly and had already sowed the disagreement in front of Ye Ali, which shows that the junior high school was full of malice and had no way to hide it. This time the messenger from the junior high school must also attend the wedding. If the two sides met on the same occasion, they still didn't know what kind of conflict would break out.

With the criminal record of fighting to death in the early years, the Tang Dynasty did not allow foreign envoys to destroy the national rituals with their will. However, even if the conflict was suppressed for a while, when these envoys returned to their country, the country would inevitably have a deeper sense of evil about their Gar family.

For a moment, Zan Po even had an idea in his mind, wanting to intercept these envoys in the middle of the journey. Although this could not solve the problem once and for all, it could make the country's middle school know the situation and attitude of the Tang Dynasty later, thus giving their family a little more precious opportunity.

Not to mention that Zan Po was thinking about his plan. When the concierge list of Xikang Prince's Mansion was reported, the Tubo envoy soon learned through other channels that the Gar family was also listed. Of course, this so-called other channels were not a secret. Wang Xiaojie, the Minister of the Honglu, had to have a long talk with them every day.

The Tubo envoys were naturally deeply dissatisfied with the participation of the Gar family in this Jiaqing ceremony. The Gar family is currently nominally a member of their Tubo, and they do not want to see the Gar family contact the Tang official through any form. They have been trying to bring the topic to this aspect before, but they have never been able to go deeper.

So after learning about this, the Tubo envoys were no longer patient. When talking to Wang Xiaojie, they firmly expressed that the members of the Daoruo Gar family would also attend the ceremony, so the Tubo envoys refused to attend.

The Tang Dynasty court still attached great importance to the protests of the Tubo envoys. It was not that it wanted to invite them to have a wedding banquet, but because Ye Ali still had a member of the Tubo royal family after all, and this identity still had a certain amount of room for operation in the future. So after some trade-offs, the court still called out Zan Po's name on the concierge list.

When Wang Xiaojie passed the court's resolution to the Tubo envoys, the whole group of the envoys felt a sense of pride and comfort. During the period when they entered Beijing, both sides had been having boring disputes. Unconsciously, with the patience being used, the self-requirements of the Tubo envoys became extremely low, and they were regarded as an amazing diplomatic victory.

Finally, it was mid-July, and it was the day when Queen Xikang officially entered the palace.

The court prepared the ceremony on this day was not small, and it was not as simple as Yang Xier entered the palace not long ago. The court specially stopped the court for this. The saints invited officials above the fifth rank and above and the Hubin envoys of the foreigners in Linde Hall. The scene was second only to the great ceremony of enthroning the queen.

When Ye Ali entered the palace this time, the canonization received was not an ordinary concubine, but a concubine De of the fourth wife under the queen and the queen. The reason for this generous canonization was that compared with Yang Xier, Ye Ali's entry into the palace this time was undoubtedly more meaningful.

This is the first time that the king has accepted and officially conferred women from foreign countries as concubines in the harem since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The concepts of the people of the present are still different from those of later generations. They do not think that giving women a marriage partner is a loss of face, but representing the majesty of the king of the central empire. Through marriage partners, they give the monarchs of the foreign state a right to reproduce. However, they are not very enthusiastic about accepting women from Fan states to become formal inner-destined women. In many cases, women from Fan states are just playing with things, and they are not worthy of treating them with courtesy, let alone serving the emperor.

Ye Ali is not an ordinary woman in a foreign country, and this is not only reflected in her identity, but also in the fact that the makeup box is really amazing. The size of the Xikang land is already extremely amazing, and at the strategic level, she directly presented the East Gate of Tubo to the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang people had their own rituals and arrogant aspects, but they were not pedantic and pragmatic. Therefore, there was almost no objection to the saints who wanted to accept such a foreign woman as their concubine, and most people were happy to see it.

For the monks and Hus, this change in the Tang Dynasty was also something they liked. Since the power of the king, they have not been very friendly to the surrounding Hus. Not to mention various sanctions and attacks, there are several prominent Hus who died directly under their command, just like the earlier King Tuyuhun and the recent legitimate son of the Uighur leader.

Therefore, when many Hu people talked about the saints of the Tang Dynasty today, they were also shocked and afraid, believing that they were far inferior to their ancestors' tolerance and broadness, and did not have the grand manner of Tian Khan.

Of course, the real situation is that the Hu people recognized Taizong, Gaozong and others who died in their hands were really many of the Fanhu regimes. The saints they thought were mean and vicious were limited to the constraints of national strength. Until now, only one Khitan was actually destroyed, and it was not the real Fanhu regime.

But no matter what, today's saints are willing to accept a woman from a foreign country as their concubine, which also makes those Hu people realize that today's saints do not blindly hate and reject Hu people, but also have their broad and loving side.

Although this love is destined to have nothing to do with most Hu people, those British Hu tribes who suffered in their hands should also check whether there is something wrong. Why can others get along with the saints so well that they can't even survive?

In this world, no matter when, there is always a tolerance for the strong. Although the strong don’t care, the good-hearted people are always willing to make up for it. These strong people are not really bad, but have their own unscrupulous difficulties. They have endured the hardships that ordinary people cannot bear. Generally speaking, if there is a little shining point, they can cover up other shortcomings.

So even though the Hu people in the capital were exploited and dealt with by Wang Xiaojie before this wedding, when the court invited them to attend the ceremony, they all laughed brighter than flowers, and rushed to enter the palace to attend the ceremony.

As for those ordinary Hu people, they naturally do not have this honor, but they also think that this is a prosperous era, which represents the importance and love of the Fanhu people by the saints, so they are wandering in groups between Guanglufang and Daneihuang City, playing a car and singing to send their marriage.

Although the saints really love other people's bodies and rich dowry, and have nothing to do with these miscellaneous people, this does not affect their joy. The Hu people in the world are family, and today we are all from the Chen family!

Among these Hu people, the ones who are most happy and proud are the Tubo envoys. Although the discussions on various affairs in the past period of time have made them feel so full of anger, today is a glorious day.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the first time the women of foreign countries were enthroned as concubines, and they were in their Tubo Kingdom. Although this woman even gave them their east gate to the Tang Dynasty, this honor was true. Can the rest of the Hubang tribes receive such treatment? Not to mention the gate, even if the tribe surrenders, how could the Tang Dynasty treat their tribe women so well?

So in the final analysis, they are the Tubo people who are superior to others, which makes people dare not underestimate them!

Not to mention Wei Gonglu, who was slightly lost due to personal love, the other Tubo envoys stood among a group of Fan Hubin envoys who were queuing to the palace to attend the ceremony. They were really arrogant and proud.

This mood lasted until afternoon. When the palace wedding team gathered outside Linde Hall to prepare for departure, the Tubo envoys discovered that although they had strongly protested against the incoming ceremony, the Gar family Zanpo, who had indeed not been allowed to attend the ceremony, was arranged to be the prime minister in the wedding team and was in a very high position!

Seeing this scene, the humiliation of being betrayed by the powerful officials in the country and being played with by the Tang Dynasty suddenly surged into my heart, dispersing the pleasure of vanity!

But despite this, they really dared not turn over the table and make a big fuss. Not to mention the response and speech in the hall just now, they were very emotional. Just now, the Hu Bin envoys gathered together. If they saw their Tubo envoys making a big fuss at the wedding banquet, no matter what the reason was, they would always be wrong.

Even in order to maintain their dignity and majesty in front of the group of brothers, the Tang Dynasty would impose severe punishments and sanctions on them on Tubo next, which was contrary to their original intention of unwilling to let the Tang Dynasty interfere in state affairs.

Therefore, although these Tubo envoys were extremely depressed at this time, they could only endure this suffocation. Fortunately, these Hubin envoys present may not know their Tubo situation well, and they could not get any profound content through these personnel arrangements, so as to avoid showing their ugly appearance on the spot.

Although the wedding lasted only one day, because the Hubins of the foreigners were too enthusiastic, the saint then gave orders to continue to give them a day, which was a brief comfort to the warm atmosphere.

Zan Po was naturally suffering from the personnel arrangements of the Tang Dynasty at the wedding. Of course, he knew that such an arrangement would anger the envoys of the country's middle school, but his family did take advantage of the Tang Dynasty to shock the country's middle school's need not to move lightly.
