Abao and Zhao Hai both looked a little bad. The Nanzhao envoy clearly did this on purpose, deliberately causing trouble for Shen Lian.

However, Shen Lian's expression remained unchanged.

He chuckled and said, "May I ask the name of the envoy from Nanzhao?"

The envoy from Nanzhao cupped his hands and said: "If you are not talented, the prime minister of Nanzhao will be the king."

"Wang Chengdao?"

Shen Lian said: "This name is very similar to my Tang Dynasty name!"

Wang Chengdao said calmly: "It's just a name, it's just a code name, what's the difference? Does the Tang Dynasty want to deprive me of the right to choose a name?"

Shen Lian chuckled and said: "Of course not. I just feel that this name is the same as that of a rebellious minister and traitor in the Tang Dynasty, so I am a little surprised... Oh, I did not criticize Sang and Huai. Please forgive me, Ambassador Wang. .”

Wang Chengdao: "…"

I didn't expect you to criticize Sang and Huai.

now I know!

You might as well not explain!

Abao and Zhao Hai had a good time, and you deserve to be scolded for causing trouble for Commander Shen!

There was still no change in Shen Lian's expression. He glanced at these envoys and said: "The envoy Wang is right. You have come from afar. Our country is a country of etiquette. Normally, we should make arrangements for you in advance. residence."

"In fact, I have made a lot of preparations to welcome you all."

Shen Lian pointed to the exquisite-looking inns behind him and said, "To be honest with you, when I knew you would arrive, I began to personally supervise the Ministry of Works to repair the inns, and integrated them with the unique star imagery of the Tang Dynasty. , the courtyards where each envoy group lives are carefully built, so that you can live at ease and feel the unique cultural atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty."

"It's just that I just wanted to bring you an excellent living experience. But after it was completed, I suddenly discovered something, which made me feel embarrassed for a while, so I didn't directly arrange which courtyard you would live in. .”

When the envoys heard this, some of them asked curiously: "What's going on?"

Shen Lian said: "In our Tang Dynasty, there are economic records of Taoism. There are one hundred and eight stars in the Beidou system. These one hundred and eight stars are divided into thirty-six Tiangang stars and seventy-two Earthly evil stars. They are the consolidation The Stars of the Big Dipper.”

"And it just so happened that there were a total of one hundred and eight countries coming to the Tang Dynasty this time, so I ordered people to repair the inn in accordance with the method of the Beidou One Hundred and Eight Stars."

Although it is said that all nations will come to Korea, it will not really be ten thousand countries.

This time, only 108 countries came to the Tang Dynasty.

And this still includes all the countries, big and small, around the Tang Dynasty.

It goes without saying that big countries, such as the Turks, have great power.

As for a small country, it may only have a population of hundreds of thousands, which is incomparable to that of a large country.

But because it is caught between major powers, it has survived peacefully.

In this way, we gathered together 108 countries.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, there would only be dozens of countries in Dingtian.

"One hundred and eight stars... so what?" Sometimes the envoy asked in confusion.

Wang Chengdao, the envoy of Nanzhao Kingdom, seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly.

As for Shen Lian, he sighed and said: "The one hundred and eight stars are divided into the thirty-six stars of Tiangang and the seventy-two stars of Earthly Evil!"

"As we all know, Thirty-six Tiangang and Seventy-two Disha have different statuses, and even their rankings within their own systems are different."

"so….…"

Shen Lian sighed and said: "This officer is in trouble now. Tell me, who do you want to arrange into the Thirty-six Tiangang? Who do you want to arrange into the Seventy-two Disha? And after the arrangement, the ranking will change. How to set it up?"

"So, I am waiting for everyone to come here and want to hear everyone's opinions. Who wants to live in Thirty-six Tiangang and who wants to live in Seventy-two Disha. This... why don't you choose for yourself? Or do you vote for it?”

Shen Lian sighed and expressed his troubles.

When the envoys heard this, some of them didn't react yet, but some of them suddenly changed their expressions.

Such as the prince of Tubo, the eldest prince of Tiele, the envoys of Nanzhao, the envoys of Goguryeo, etc...

The faces of these people have changed.

Only then did they realize that Shen Lian of the Tang Dynasty was so tricked!

No wonder we didn't arrange accommodation for them, and we are waiting for them here together!

Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, seventy-two Earthly Demons!

This represents status!

Where envoys live, it shows their country's status among these one hundred and eight countries!

So, who doesn’t want to break his head and live in Thirty-six Tiangang?

After all, this is how you can show your country's strength and status.

But thirty-six Tiangang, there are only so many, who will go? Who will not go?

Not to mention, there are also rankings within Thirty-Six Tiangang!

Who wouldn't want to live in the first place?

And this... will inevitably lead to competition between the two.

He even suffered a bloody blow just for a place to stay.

And once that happens….

Then the so-called alliance they had before coming to the Tang Dynasty became a complete joke!

Forget about dealing with Datang!

With just one place to live, there will be internal strife or even hatred.

Now, Shen Lian just used a place to live, and his plan came to nothing!

this…….

The Tubo prince couldn't help but look squarely at Shen Lian.

The Nanzhao envoy also squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Lian. His expression no longer showed any sign of relaxation, only solemnity.

This is an insidious and ruthless man!

In the courtyard of the inn.

All the envoys have different expressions.

Some were domineering and confident, some were frowning and worried, some had a casual look, and even more, their faces were full of thinking, and their expressions flickered when they looked at the other envoys.

Different identities and different ideas were clearly reflected on the faces of these envoys at this moment.

Shen Lian's eyes swept across their faces one by one, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He suddenly turned around and walked to two bulletin boards covered by red cloth. Then, under the puzzled gaze of all the envoys, he grabbed the red cloth on the bulletin board and pulled it hard--

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Two huge wooden signs appeared directly in everyone's sight.

The two wooden signs are the same size, except that one wooden sign is covered with gold paint and looks shiny, while the other wooden sign is covered with silver paint and looks very noble.

If this was only a silver-painted wooden sign, just looking at it would definitely make people admire it. What a generous work. It was made of real silver crushed and applied on it.

But at this moment, there was a gold paint next to the silver paint, causing the silver paint to be instantly outshone.

And at the top of these two noble wooden signs, there are simple characters!

Above the gold-lacquered wooden plaque, the words "Tiangangyuan" are written.

Above the silver-lacquered wooden sign, there are the words "Desha Yuan" written on it.

Moreover, in the center of the wooden sign, the names of the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Stars and the Seventy-two Earthly Evil Stars are marked in sequence. At the same time, there is an empty space behind the names.

Obviously, it should be reserved for envoys staying there.

Wherever the envoys of any country stayed, the name of that country would be written on it.

At that time, people coming and going can naturally see where the envoys from various countries live as long as they pass through the courtyard and enter the inn.

In the same way... we can also see which country's status among these 108 countries!

Should he live high in Tiangang Courtyard or live in Disha Courtyard?

Is it ranked first or last?

What this concerns is the face of a country, the status of a country, the majesty of a country, and the national strength of a country!

Among the envoys present, there were few who were stupid and many who were smart.

So when I saw the signs of Tian Gang and Disha, I understood what kind of trick Shen Lian was playing.

This is obviously to rank various countries here!

As for ranking, there will definitely be fights, there will definitely be jealousy, and there will definitely be dissatisfaction!

When the time comes, conflicts will naturally arise!

So any alliance or agreement will be gone!

And this...even if they knew it, there was nothing they could do about it.
To be continued...
