Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Great Achievements
The next day, Su Zhiyuan went to the court. His injuries did not fully recover, but he understood that this was his opportunity and he could not give up on this opportunity to lose it.
Now it will be too late to take advantage of Li Longji's diligence to improve his rights and positions when the Chaotong is in chaos.
Fan grew up to himself in the north, and Li Linfu, a treacherous minister, was almost time to control the government. Even if Su traveled through time, he was still a young man in the officialdom. Li Linfu first learned the way of becoming an official, and secondly, with the support of the forces behind him, he had been eating the food of the court for a long time. He had walked too much more than Su Zhiyuan, a young man. Now he could not compete with him, so he could only find a way to strengthen himself.
However, what made Su happy was that after coming to the Tang Dynasty for so long, he was no longer alone. In addition to his wife, there are also a bunch of people who do things and serve them. As the saying goes, a hero and three helpers can never do anything if a person wants to achieve great things in such an era.
When he entered the morning dynasty, Su Zhiyuan thought a lot. If he wanted to have his own fiefdom before the Tang Dynasty formed a vassal state and became a military governor, he would have the capital to fight for the world. Although the Tang Dynasty became broken due to the Anshi Rebellion and damaged its foundation, such a Tang Dynasty still survived for more than a hundred years, which shows how rich the Tang Dynasty was.
However, the feeling of ancient and modern times is completely different. After Su Zhiyuan came to the Tang Dynasty, the population is now much smaller. In modern times, there are more than one billion people in China. It seems that people are everywhere they go, but the Tang Dynasty is not. Now the population is growing in large numbers, and the population on the list is only more than 80,000.
Originally, the Tang Dynasty had a large territory, but the time when Su Zhiyuan traveled through it was not the largest territory of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the main population is less than 4 million square kilometers of land. As for the vast Longyou Road, there were not many people. This is why, when the Tang Dynasty declined in the late Tang Dynasty, it lost its rule of Longyou Road in the northwest.
There were few Han people living there, and if Han people wanted to control it, there was no problem at their peak, but when each dynasty declined, other ethnic groups outside the border immediately turned against each other and established themselves as their own country. This has always been a law.
If you are not of my race, your heart will be different.
As usual, civil and military officials stood in the court early. Those who had memorials had no memorials, all had a small notebook in their hands and were dressed cleanly, but some people had some leftovers of porridge on their faces and mouths.
Everyone waited for a long time on this day before they saw Emperor Li Longji coming from behind. Before they could put on their belts, there was an official behind them. He smiled and made a sound.
The others were so scared that they raised their heads, and Su Zhiyuan would be speechless, he was going to die!
Li Longji raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Who laughed just now?"
An official behind walked out tremblingly and knelt down with a "thump".
"Your Majesty, please spare me!"
Li Longji glanced at the official: "Okay, you don't need to say more, go home."
Su Zhiyuan was relieved when he saw that this person was not dead, but the official was not satisfied and kept kowtowing and saying that he wanted to make contributions to the court.
Although Su Zhiyuan didn't know this person, he remembered that this person seemed to be a fifth-rank official. He didn't expect that this person was so thick-skinned. It was obviously not the first time that Li Longji had dealt with such an official, so he directly asked the guards to take it out.
"Start up and report if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!"
Su Zhiyuan looked at the people around him, no one spoke, and took decisive steps out.
"Return to the emperor, I have a memorial!"
"Oh? What's the matter with Su Aiqing's report?"
"Return to the emperor, I was ordered to receive the envoy of Silla, but in the past few days, a major event occurred. Silla's envoy Kim Seung-hwan was killed, dozens of people from Honglu Temple were also attacked and killed. The Li Badou was also arrested. Now Silla's princess Caidie lives in Weichen's house for the time being."
Li Longji said curiously: "Su Aiqing tells all the causes and consequences of the matter in detail."
"I originally planned to take the envoys from Silla to visit the scenery and food everywhere, but more than half a month ago, a man in black entered Weichen's house at night and assassinated a woman named Caidie. At that time, I didn't know that this woman was Princess Caidie who had hidden her identity, but I bravely stepped forward to fight and killed her. However, I was also injured and recuperated for nearly half a month."
As he said that, Su Zhiyuan took off his clothes, and there were scars everywhere on it. Although scabs began to form, the healing was far from enough.
Everyone made a sound of air conditioning, surprised that Su Zhiyuan was not recovering from such injuries and came to continue to attend court.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is the injury of the empress. When the empress was still recuperating, more than a dozen guards and ministers of Jin from the Honglu Temple were also killed. I suspect that this was a premeditated assassination, so I and the prefect must work together to set up a plan to capture a Turkic traitor hidden in the Silla envoys team. This person is an old minister Li Badou who the emperor met a few days ago! This person has been ambushing the envoys team for many years. This time, he will destroy the peace talks and use assassination to provoke the relationship between the Tang and Silla. Fortunately, this person has been captured alive by us. Compared to using this person, we can better deal with the Turks."
Li Longji was very happy when he heard this. He walked down from the dragon throne with joy and walked to Su Zhiyuan and said, "You are really a pillar of the country. I didn't take it wrong. You are indeed very capable. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"I dare not ask for any reward. Now our Tang Dynasty and the Turks are in a hostile situation. We should maintain a peaceful relationship with Silla. I believe that we should send an envoy to Silla to appease them and resolve their uneasiness. I recommend that you send an envoy to Silla and ask the emperor to agree."
Li Longji applauded loudly: "Very good, Su Aiqing, with someone like you, why worry about not being strong in the Tang Dynasty? I will now give you the third-rank imperial envoy. You can choose a life to serve as an envoy on Silla. As for the tribute, you go to the Ministry of Revenue and ask for it, and then tell me if you have any questions."
"Thank you, Lord, Long."
Dividing line
Caidie lives in Su's mansion, waiting for news from Su Zhiyuan.
The bodies of Kim Seung-hwan and the guards were already smelly. In summer, it was difficult to preserve them for a long time. They had to cremate on the spot and take the ashes back.
Others heard from Caidie that Kim Seung-hwan's background in Silla is far from being as simple as a minister. In fact, a powerful minister who is below Silla is above ten thousand people is Kim Seung-hwan's father.
Before, Hua Wushang heard Su Zhiyuan say that he was going to Silla on an envoy. Before, Su Zhiyuan said that this matter was almost certain. But now she was very worried because she was afraid that Su Zhiyuan would be retaliated by Kim Seung-hwan's father after she went to Silla.
Caidie seemed a little careless. She had never been to the Tang Dynasty Palace when she came here, which was a bit abnormal for someone who loved to play so much.
"The master is back!" Sequoia and others came to meet him.
