This is the first time that the House of Foreign Affairs has been doing business in front of so many people. Zhang Yang is carrying a basket of vegetables, without official uniforms, just wearing patched common clothes.

Zhang Daxiang was helpless and didn't know how to talk about it.

How can a good Minister of Rites be like an ordinary villager?

It seems that Zhang Yang has always been like this. No matter whether he was just a civil servant of the Ministry of Rites before or now he is a Minister of Rites, he has never changed.

Listening to the Western Regions people talking loudly, their tone was very heavy and they didn't sound like good things.

Zhang Yang looked at Xu Jingzong, "What did this guy say?"

Xu Jingzong called a civil servant wearing a Confucian shirt. This person was recruited by the Foreign Affairs Academy, just like other Confucian shirts here.

They were not formal officials of the Ministry of Rites, nor were they registered and established in the Ministry of Personnel, but were just staffed by the Institute of Foreign Affairs.

The Foreign Affairs Institute needs enough staff, and the civil servants that can be given in the court cannot meet the current needs of the Ministry of Rites.

Although this man was wearing a Confucian shirt, he had a beard and a clean Confucian shirt on the outside. You can see that he was wearing coarse cloth clothes inside. He was a good at proficient in Western dialect.

"Reported to Mr. Xu, this Western Regions person is saying that the Tang Dynasty should seek justice from Gaochang for Kucha."

Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "This person is proficient in Western Regions dialect, so there will be no mistakes. The subordinate has tried it many times."

Zhang Dasu asked his men to escort the King of Kucha out of the prison car.

Zhang Daxiang took out a silk book and said loudly: "The Kucha royal family in the Western Regions is one of the four towns in Anxi. Kucha has been the territory of the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty. You and others have held their own troops, cut off their trade routes, and conspired with the Western Turks to occupy the Western Regions for their own profits. Can you admit your guilt?"

"You fart!"

The King of Kucha preached.

Zhang Yang said unexpectedly: "It turns out that you can speak Guanzhong dialect, which is much more convenient."

The Gaochang people who were escorting the Kucha royal family also handed over the silk book and seal, and Zhang Yang looked at the silk book.

Zhang Dasu spoke: "Since Emperor Xuan of Han, King Jiangbin, married the daughter of Princess Wusun, as his wife. He then entered the Han Dynasty many times and was close to Han and surrendered to Han. Now the envoy, Nali, refused to return to the four towns of Anxi, and took them into the dungeon and left behind after autumn."

"The great Zhenzhu Khan will not let the Tang Dynasty go, and will definitely retake the Western Regions in the future! Conquering Gaochang, you will pay the price for what you are doing now!"

His words were spoken loudly, which attracted a lot of discussion among the onlookers around him.

Zhang Yang frowned and thought for a while, then turned to see Xu Jingzong again, "Who is the Zhenzhu Khan he mentioned?"

Xu Jingzong replied: "It should be the Zhenzhu Khan 15 years ago, and this person is very conceited. After years of changes, the Western Turks have passed away for several chaos. The current Siyehu Da Khan is vicious and almost killed the descendants of the Zhenzhu Khan."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "So that's the case. The changes in the Western Turks in the past two years have been really big."

Xu Jingzong nodded, "The Khan of Western Turks has respected Zhenzhu Khan in all dynasties."

Seeing that the Kucha messenger was still confident, he stood up straight.

When he heard Zhang Yang and Xu Jingzong's conversation, Kucha King Bu Shibi was speechless. How could these people in front of him know so much about the Turks? Even Siye Hu's Khan's temperament.

Seeing Zhang Yang walking towards him, Bu Shibi subconsciously lowered his head.

"It doesn't matter whether you admit your guilt or not. Kucha is already in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. If you can admit your guilt, you may still be able to live as an external envoy of the Tang Dynasty. If you don't admit your guilt, you will only die."

Bu Shibi slowly looked up at the young man in his early twenties in front of him.

Zhang Yang said again: "The Tang Dynasty can give you a decent attitude. I also know that your Kucha dependence on the Western Turks has given them a lot of benefits every year. But Siyehu Khan is plundering Kucha more and more, and you have long been overwhelmed. If you confess your guilt now, I can give you a chance to retaliate against Siyehu."

Bushibi whispered, "Are you saying true?"

“That’s natural.”

Zhang Yang stood up straight again and asked loudly: "Did you plead guilty if you rebel against Kucha??"

Bu Shibi spoke slowly, unable to say: "I confess my guilt."

Zhang Yang looked around and said, "Hit louder! Don't make it as if we were forcing you."

"Take guilty, confess guilty, confess guilt."

Bu Shibi said it three times in a row.

"Speak louder and let everyone hear it."

"I confess!" Bu Shibi almost shouted, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang smiled and replied to Zhang Daxiang: "Like the Tuyuhun royal family before, I will be brought to the Ministry of Justice Prison. I will explain to Tian Khan personally and decide how to do it."

"Here."

More than a dozen people in the Kucha royal family were taken away. This time, all the men brought were men. According to Gaochang's rules, no women and children were killed or arrested, and all those arrested were men.

Passers-by dispersed.

Li Chengqian, who watched the entire process, nodded, "It is not far from the reconstruction of the four Anxi towns. My Tang Dynasty will surely recover the Western Regions."

Changsun Chong whispered: "What did Zhang Yang and the King of Kucha say? Why did he suddenly plead guilty?"

Zhang Da'an explained: "The Ministry of Rites has been investigating the situation in the Western Regions for a long time. I heard from my brother that the Western Turks are very chaotic at the moment. After Gaochang grew, the Western Turks lost half of the Yinli River. What the people in the Western Regions know about it is also clear to the Ministry of Rites, and after their father's guidance."

Looking at Li Chengqian again, Zhang Da'an bowed and said, "This has been said by both brothers in the family."

Li Chengqian nodded with great appreciation, "With Duke Zou's guidance and Zhang Yang, this Foreign Affairs Academy will surely be able to do more achievements in the future."

Zhang Da'an bowed again.

The three of them walked out of the inn and the crowd dispersed.

Zhang Dasu took someone to the Ministry of Justice.

Zhang Yang sat in the Diplomatic Academy, listening to the story of Zhang Daxiang and Xu Jingzong.

"So, this Siye Hu Da Khan is cruel and plunders the Western Regions everywhere?"

"Since this person took charge of the Western Turks, the Western Turks have been disintegrated. When Gaochang attacked the Western Turks, Siyehu Da Khan did not provide help."

Zhang Daxiang looked worried.

Several people were discussing, and a civil servant came hurriedly, "Shangshu Zhang asked for a visit from the Western Regions, and he said he was a descendant of Zhenzhu Khan."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Jingzong said inexplicably: "What's the name."

The visitor reported: "It is called Nishu."

Zhang Daxiang looked through the file and said, "There is indeed such a person. When Siye Gu killed the descendants of the Zhenzhu Khan, many people went into exile, and Ni was one of them."

Zhang Yang looked at the live fish in the basket and said, "Please come in."

"Here."

Several people looked out the door and saw the Western Regions man walking in.

He rituals in the etiquette of the people of the Western Regions, and said a little unfamiliar with Guanzhong, "The foreign minister has met Shangshu Zhang."

Zhang Yang looked at him, "Western Turks?"

"That's right." Nishu bowed again, "Last year, the foreign ministers went to see the King of Kucha and wanted to join forces with the King of Kucha to eliminate Siyehu. However, at that time, the Gaochang people were attacking the Western Turks and took away land to grow cotton. The foreign ministers were all ready, but because of the Gaochang people's attack, they failed and failed to ambush Siyehu."

Zhang Yang leaned against the chair and frowned: "You join forces with the King of Kucha? Are you in a good relationship with him?"

Nishu whispered: "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the outside world also believes that the King of Kucha is guilty. In recent years, all parts of the Western Regions have been robbed by this person. If Tian Khan wants to manage the Western Regions, this Siye Hu must be eliminated. The foreign ministers did not plead for the Kucha royal family, but came to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty."

According to Nishu, he was ready to ambush Siye Hu last year. Who would have thought that Gaochang suddenly emerged and let their original opportunity be wasted?

The bamboo basket was soaked in vain.

"Although Gaochang took Kucha, Siyehu had already hated Gaochang to the core. He is now collecting troops and plundering the population. Gaochang and Siyehu will inevitably have a big battle." Nishu said again.

"You are the descendant of Zhenzhu Khan. If Siye Hu was defeated, how many tribes would the Western Turks support you?"

Nishu lowered his head, "Foreign ministers dare not be supported, but only hope that the Tang Dynasty can help the Western Turks."

Zhang Yang had a smile on his face, "You must dare even if you don't dare."

The words made Nishu feel very puzzled.

Xu Jingzong remembered Zhang Yang's smile. Every time he saw this kind of smile, he wanted to do bad things, and it was a bold bad thing.

Zhang Yang stood up and lifted his own vegetable basket, looking at the live fish in the basket, "This fish is really good. Do you want to take one?"

Xu Jingzong and Zhang Daxiang looked at each other helplessly, and each of them took a live fish.

"I'm very entertaining Nishu. Let our spies confirm his identity first, and I'll go back."

After leaving this sentence, Zhang Yang left.

Zhang Daxiang stood at the gate of the Diplomatic Academy and looked at his back, "Shangshu Zhang is really..."

Xu Jingzong sighed: "Come on your own, leave on your own, and be free and unrestrained and willing to look forward to it."

Looking back at the Nishu standing in the yard, Zhang Daxiang said again: "How should this person be placed?"

Xu Jingzong also looked back and said, "Arranging to stay in the inn, check out the news about the Western Regions first and then make a decision."

The fate of the King of Kucha may be just a bustling event for the residents of Chang'an City. Not to mention that such bustling is not common, people know that the Tang Dynasty took Kucha, which is a thing worth celebrating, and people also know that Gaochang is now in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

There are more and more rumors about the Foreign Affairs Academy in Chang'an City, and some people say that it is very powerful.

When he heard someone say that the House of Foreign Affairs had hundreds of thousands of troops outside the pass, Xu Jingzong almost fought with people.

It doesn't matter how powerful the Chinese Academy of Foreign Affairs is, but you say that the Chinese Academy of Foreign Affairs is raising a private army outside, which is equivalent to a death penalty for treason. Xu Jingzong said that he would fight you desperately.
