The Concierge Hotel in Luoyang is located in the southeast of the imperial city, close to Luoshui. There is no doubt that it was built when Murong Yanchao was renovating Luoyang City. The renovation of Luoyang City was very thorough at that time, and there were too many construction facilities in Xijing.
It rose from the ground during the original great work.
Compared with the Concierge Hotel in Tokyo, this one in Xijing is a little less luxurious, but more majestic, and has the atmosphere of a large country. It covers a large area, has complete facilities, and has 192 guest rooms. There are many in Luoyang City.
There is no shortage of luxury restaurants and hotels in the Golden Cave, but in terms of size and grandeur, they must be classified as concierge hotels.
This can be regarded as a business card of Luoyang, and it is also the main place where the imperial court entertains guests from all over the world. It treats guests from all over the world and welcomes guests from all over the world. This is what Emperor Liu said.
Most of the guests living there were foreign envoys, regional leaders, tribal vassals, and local officials who came to Beijing to report on their official duties. As the Han Dynasty became increasingly powerful and famous, people traveled thousands of miles to come to worship and communicate.
There is also an endless stream of forces from various countries, which means that the Concierge Hotel is never short of guests and is always full of guests.
In the early years of Qianyou, the Dahanli Hotel was basically empty and could not entertain many people a year. During the few months when Emperor Liu was the crown prince, a Uighur envoy could be regarded as an honored guest and attract Emperor Liu's attention.
Visit in person to show your concern.
Even foreign guests from foreign countries can receive good courtesy. However, the situation has changed now, and not just anyone has this qualification.
In the past, all expenses of the Concierge Hotel were borne by the court, and the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated funds. After all, it was an institution for entertaining state guests and was not for profit. However, two years ago, a corruption case occurred, and the Chief of the Concierge Hotel collaborated with his superiors.
The hospital supervisor and the head of the Household Department used it to line their own pockets by falsifying their identities on the list of foreign guests.
The leak of the matter also lies in the uneven distribution of the spoils, and some people are jealous and have gone to the prime minister Zhao Pu. Therefore, Zhao Pu ordered people to conduct a rigorous investigation. The result was destined to be revealed, and the truth was revealed. The plot was extremely serious and the nature was extremely bad.
Corruption and profiteering can never be stopped, but it is obviously too much to resort to such scheming and tactics in a window like the Concierge Hotel to the outside world, on the facade of the imperial court.
After the incident was revealed, Emperor Liu was furious and issued an edict to severely punish him. Several of the main criminals involved were beheaded and implicated. All their family members and stakeholders were sent to the border areas.
The institutions involved were greatly rectified. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs were severely reprimanded, and the Liyuan Hotel was adjusted from top to bottom. The corruption case in the Liyinyuan was also handled by Zhao Pu after he came to take charge of state affairs.
A major case that affected a wide range of people, established authority and had immediate consequences.
Of course, unlike some envoys and leaders who lingered in Xijing, Xu Xi's stay in the Han capital was mainly to coordinate the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Goryeo Kingdom.
In last year's mighty Han-Liao War, Goryeo only managed to get by soy sauce from beginning to end, but the blow it suffered was profound, the price paid was huge, and the pain suffered by Goryeo officials and people was heavy.
Xu Xi came to the court this spring. After several trips and many discussions, he finally gained the court's understanding and reached a series of peace terms, which were finally settled.
Up to now, the Donghai Navy has long stopped invading the coastal areas of Goryeo, but its country is still uneasy. The western area, which was slaughtered and plundered by the Han army, launched a large-scale rebellion with the intention of overthrowing the rule of King Zhao of Goryeo. At the same time,
The Han army has not yet completely withdrawn. It still has 5,000 naval troops on Jeju Island to build a military port and dock. It has a long-term business attitude and has made it clear that it intends to intervene in the civil strife of Goryeo at any time.
The big man was recuperating, the forces that had offended the imperial court, and the disobedient younger brother were suffering, which also made Emperor Liu feel a sense of leisure and a strange sense of satisfaction.
Most of the time, if other countries are prosperous and their people are prosperous and healthy, then the world will be at peace. Emperor Liu's hegemonism and power mentality became more and more serious.
Xu Xi was well aware of the turbulent and increasingly bad situation in Goryeo. He was also a discerning and knowledgeable person. He knew that the root cause of all chaos was the powerful and domineering Han Empire next door.
The rebellious nobles and peasants in the country definitely have the shadow of the Han government. The reputation of Wude Si has not only been manifested in the Han Dynasty, but also spread to surrounding countries. The most influential ones are undoubtedly the Khitan and Goryeo.
.
However, knowing the problem is difficult to solve, and Goryeo does not have the strength to solve the person who caused the problem. On the contrary, it still needs to be servile, humble and polite, and serve carefully. At least, it will not have to face the endless attacks of the Han navy.
Intrusion and plunder.
As for King Wang Zhao of Goryeo, as long as the Han Dynasty does not end directly, the domestic resistance forces will not be a fatal problem after all. Of course, this is how he can regain the tolerance of the court and regain the support of his "loving father" Emperor Liu.
For a long time, the Goryeo "royal party" pursued.
Because Xu Xi went on several missions and performed well, he was placed in the capital by Goryeo and shouldered the mission of seeking peace for the country. Xu Xi also did the same and worked very hard. However, when Emperor Liu came to Goryeo
After a red line is drawn over the country's head, all efforts will eventually have a limit. No matter how hard they lobby and travel, it will be in vain.
After staying in the Concierge Hotel for so long and suffering repeated blows, Xu Xi was already a little disheartened. He also felt the contempt and gloating of the big man. Now, Xu Xi has asked for orders from the country. While confessing his crime to Wang Zhao, he also asked for instructions to return to the country.
, the Han Dynasty can't do anything here, he would rather return to the country to help Wang Zhao quell the chaos.
Of course, there is a premise, that is, the big Han will abide by the peace treaty they obtained by bowing their knees, paying tribute and paying tribute, and will not end up personally...
Compared with Xu Xi, Xiao Siwen's life was much easier after entering Beijing. He felt at ease and enjoyed the highest treatment in the concierge hotel comfortably. He was not short of money. In addition, he was also an envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and his visit was also involved in important court affairs.
Xiao Siwen has been admiring the capital city of Han Dynasty for a long time, and he also has great enthusiasm and expectations for this city where he may live for a long time in the future.
Although he has not yet successfully met the Holy Spirit, he has already begun to enjoy the people and scenery of Xijing. Xiao Siwen is no stranger to the Han family city and will definitely be able to adapt to it.
He also has a discriminatory mentality towards the barbarian noises in the Concierge Hotel, and often looks at them with contempt. At least on the surface, he is still the envoy of Daliao, the real distinguished guest of the Han Dynasty, even if Daliao is now declining and gradually sinking
, and it is not comparable to the power of ordinary countries.
What's more, Xiao Siwen will have the opportunity to become an important minister of the Han Dynasty in the future. Well, this is the position Xiao Siwen has given himself.
