Chapter 511: The misunderstanding is explained clearly
The clerk was so frightened that he took two steps back and said, "It's Mr. Xu who is here with his people, and they are standing outside the door."
Sun Fujia paced back and forth, his heart wavering. He had just caught one and finally had a breakthrough, and now he actually said that the Western Turkic envoy was back?
At this point, Eucalyptus has finally found a breakthrough.
Now the messenger appears again?
Having to face all the doubts in his heart, Sun Fujia sat down again and said, "Please come in."
"Here!"
There was silence in the Dali Temple, and everyone held their breaths as they watched Xu Shilang come with the envoy from the Western Turks.
Sun Fujia said with a straight face, "What does Mr. Xu mean?"
Xu Jingzong first saluted, "I've met Shaoqing. In addition to the Dali Temple investigating the whereabouts of this Western Turkic envoy these days, our Foreign Affairs Commission is also investigating."
Sun Fujia tried his best to stay calm, "So... I dare to ask where the envoy was before? What happened again? He didn't return to Chang'an City for a long time, but he kept me busy for half a year. It was quite a while.
Check!"
Just as An Yanyan was about to speak, Xu Jingzong stepped forward and said: "Back to Shaoqing, this envoy left Chang'an City for hunting. He liked the scenery in Guanzhong very much, so he never came back. He stayed for half a year. He arrived in Chang'an.
Only later did he realize that there had been a misunderstanding, so he asked his subordinates to bring him here to apologize and explain the misunderstanding."
After saying what he said, Xu Jingzong faced An Yanyan with a smile, "Messenger, is it appropriate for me to explain this way?"
An Yanyan nodded and said, "Just as Mr. Xu said, I have indeed forgotten the time while hunting."
Sun Fujia swallowed hard, sweat dripped from his forehead, and he clenched his fists. There must be something wrong here.
Looking at Xu Jingzong's calm and calm appearance, it feels very uncomfortable to be manipulated by others.
"Xu Jingzong! Do you think I will believe these words?" Sun Fujia stood up and looked at the messenger carefully.
Anyanyan took out the Khan's Credentials, which were only available to Western Turkic envoys, and said, "I am not someone else who pretends to be you. Shaoqing, you can dispel your doubts."
Sun Fujia took the credentials to confirm, then took out the portrait to confirm, and then checked the palm prints.
The facts are before our eyes. He is indeed the Western Turkic Khan who disappeared for half a year. He cannot be fake.
Sun Fujia calmed down and said, "I checked the post house. The clerk at the post house said that the envoy was taken away at night. What is going on?"
Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "The guy at the post house has a grudge against our Foreign Affairs Academy, so he naturally tried every means to cause us trouble. He resigned three months ago and left. He cursed our officials in his words. You can go and inquire."
"So someone lied?"
"Most likely." Xu Jingzong smiled modestly, "Even the envoy himself said that he came back late from a hunting trip. Why do you ask, Shaoqing?"
Sun Fujia laughed angrily, "As the envoy of the Khan of the Western Turks, I don't take the affairs entrusted by the Khan seriously, but I go out hunting for half a year. Xu Shilang! Do you believe it?"
"There is nothing unbelievable about this." Xu Jingzong looked around and said, "Besides, the envoy likes to do things like this. What does it have to do with the official? Now that the misunderstanding is clear, the official will take him back first."
"Wait a minute!" Sun Fujia shouted, grabbing his chin beard.
"Sun Shaoqing, is there anything else?"
"There was a witness in court that the envoy was kidnapped, and the gangster who kidnapped the envoy has been captured by my officer."
Xu Jingzong looked at the beggar who was standing crouched aside, "Is it him?"
Sun Fujia nodded, "Exactly."
Xu Jingzong frowned and looked at him, "Dare you really see the envoy being kidnapped?"
The beggar looked at Sun Fujia first, and then nodded slowly.
Xu Jingzong said again: "You answer me yes or no."
The beggar lowered his head and said, "Yes."
"When did you see it?"
"March 2, at night."
"What time and where?"
"Zi Shi, across the street from the Messenger's Inn."
Sun Fujia listened to the conversation between the two and was still observing the messenger's expression.
Xu Jingzong cupped his hands and said, "That's strange. It's supposed to have been half a year. How come you remember it so clearly, even the time?"
"Villain..."
"Shaoqing, do you know the topography of the street where the post house is located?"
Sun Fujia nodded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned around and stared at the beggar.
Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Across the street from the post house is Zhuque Street. Ten feet is a foot, and the street is thirty feet wide. I dare to ask how you could see clearly from a distance of thirty feet at midnight.
Who is this person? It’s very difficult to just see a figure clearly, let alone a face.”
"Look, little man..."
The beggar hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Sun Fujia shouted angrily: "How did you see clearly?"
The beggar knelt on the ground, trembling all over and not knowing how to explain.
Xu Jingzong smiled calmly and said, "Sun Shaoqing has been working hard since he entered Dali Temple as an official. Why was he deceived?"
Sun Fujia was so surprised that he could not speak for a long time, "If he is not a witness, why would he lie?"
"People's hearts are not old, just like an unknown person. He needs a chance to clear his name, or use this incident to attract others' attention and praise for him. He just wants to live with a different identity."
Sun Fujia breathed heavily, "Why...you!"
He hesitated to speak. At this moment, the Dali Temple Minister was so angry that he stamped his feet and said loudly: "Someone will take him down!"
"Here."
Seeing the beggar being escorted away, Xu Jingzong saluted again, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will go back with the envoy to explain the matter first. No need to disturb me."
Walking out of the Foreign Affairs Academy, Xu Jingzong was melancholy, wondering what would happen if there were no subordinate officials in this huge Foreign Affairs Academy.
You have to do everything yourself, and you don't have to rely entirely on your subordinates.
Not long after, the strong man also came out of Dali Temple. A vendor gave him a piece of silver cake, "Take this silver cake to treat your family members. If you think the doctors in Chang'an City are not good, you can go to Lishan."
The strong man was about to say thank you when the other party said: "Don't ask any more questions, you know our rules."
The strong man nodded and bowed as a thank you.
At this moment, Xu Jingzong was walking with An Yanyan. Knowing the urgent message from Yehu Khan and the dangerous situation in Western Turkestan, this man named An would submit.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone regards Yehu Khan as a cash cow.
No one wanted this tree to fall down like this.
Anyan Yancai is willing to cooperate with the Foreign Affairs Council. Some people can put interests more important than life.
That's the kind of person he is.
The two of them came to a wine shop and sat down.
Anyanyan said doubtfully: "I was indeed kidnapped by your people."
Xu Jingzong poured him a bowl of wine and said, "You were not kidnapped by us. How could our Diplomatic Academy do such a thing? The envoy was joking."
"That was also your order. I have been working as a coolie for half a year and have been calcining silver for you."
"It's good if you can live, what's the point of suffering a little?" Xu Jingzong grinned: "I'm sure that witness is lying. You were kidnapped in the early morning, not at midnight, and you didn't walk from Zhuque Street, but
You entered the West Market through the back door of the post house."
"If someone really saw it, it would have been arranged in advance, and no witness would appear at this time."
Anyanyan took a sip of wine and said, "A beggar wouldn't be so bold."
Xu Jingzong nodded, "That's true."
"Is there someone behind him?"
"We in the Diplomatic Academy have offended many people, and our Minister of Rites also has many enemies." Xu Jingzong poured him wine again, "Since our interests are the same, how much food can you buy?"
An Yanyan thought for a long time and said, "Ten thousand stones."
"As expected of a descendant of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, he is very courageous!"
After two bowls of wine, Xu Jingzong watched him wolf down some food and said with a smile: "We have arranged people outside the city to escort the envoy back."
Anyan Yan chewed food and asked, "Where are the guards who followed me?"
Xu Jingzong said flatly: "I thought you were a smart man, but the bad thing is that you asked people to assassinate Xiaguan. For the safety of Xiaguan and other officials in the Ministry of Rites, these people were all killed as assassins. They were all killed just last month.
Behead."
There were also drinkers in the wine shop making a lot of noise.
An Yanyan looked at Xu Jingzong and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Don't worry, our manpower will escort you back to the Western Turks. If you are full, you can hit the road now."
After hearing this, Anyanyan stood up and followed him to Chang'an City. He got on a war horse and left.
Xu Jingzong stood outside the city to say goodbye.
Zhang Elephant came with a baggage and asked, "Can this person be trusted?"
"Of course I can't believe it."
"Then why send him back?"
"So we arranged for a manpower escort."
Zhang Elephant looked at the troop of soldiers and horses in the distance, "Did you arrange this?"
Xu Jingzong replied in a low voice: "It's not arranged by the lower official."
"Whose troops are those?"
"Your Majesty arranged it."
Your Majesty seldom interferes with the affairs of the Diplomatic Academy, and even the DPRK rarely intervenes. Zhang Elephant said suspiciously: "Why would Your Majesty arrange these people to escort someone who cannot be trusted."
Xu Jingzong took out the cloth and said, "The arrangements between Zhang Shangshu and His Majesty are all written on it. These people seem to be escorting...but in fact they are going to investigate the truth about the nine surnames of Zhaowu. If they find the place where people from their clan live, they will arrest them."
.”
"Don't think that people like him will obediently help us sell food after they come out of confinement. We at the Diplomatic Corps have always done things for the sake of justice, for the sake of the country, and especially for the peace of the world."
"If they can't be used by us, we can't keep them. Otherwise, these people will be an obstacle to the Tang Dynasty's unification of the Western Regions. This trade route in the Western Regions must be in the hands of the Tang Dynasty itself."
After saying this, Xu Jingzong returned to God and said, "Brother Elephant, have you made arrangements?"
Zhang Elephant lifted the baggage on his shoulder and said, "I've brought it all with me."
The horse ran across the official road, and the dust kicked up was very annoying. Xu Jingzong waved his sleeves to brush away the dust in front of his eyes, "Let's go back and discuss it."
From August to mid-October, His Majesty's summer vacation trip finally came to an end.
Li Yue is saying goodbye to her younger brothers and sisters.
Another day, Zhang Yang was saying goodbye to the prince, "Old Wang, you must take these salted duck eggs back."
The prince sighed: "I haven't finished eating what I brought last time."
Zhang Yang added: "You can just leave this thing like this. Usually one pill can cover a meal."
"The county prince is really..."
Zhang Yang straightened the old man's clothes and said, "Old Wang, you have reached the age where you should take care of yourself. Please think about it again and come to live in Lishan in the future."
The prince smiled bitterly and saluted, "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass this old slave. This old slave will be at your Majesty's side for the rest of his life, until he dies of old age."
Knowing that he was loyal, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I will think of a solution later."
"The county prince's care for the old slave will be remembered in his heart."
Xiao Wu came with a basket of medicinal materials, "Master, I asked you to get them from the medical center."
Zhang Yang sent another basket of medicinal materials to his other hand, "You must accept this basket of medicinal materials. These are good medicinal materials for replenishing your vitality. You work very hard, so you must pay attention to your health."
"The old slave is not sick yet."
"Remember the last time I went to Lishan Medical Center to check your pulse? At that time, I asked them to prepare medicinal materials suitable for your constitution. You usually drink it even if you are not sick, just as a treatment. Look how bad you look."
Zhang Yang frowned and felt very distressed, "Old Wang, if you want to live a long life, one day I will find a way to get you away from His Majesty."
Listening to the words of the county marquis, feeling the enthusiasm of the county marquis.
The prince was in a dilemma, and could not refuse. Seeing that the carriage was about to start, he bowed and made a big salute, then hurriedly left with two baskets in hand.
"Master really goes out of his way to recruit talents."
Hearing what this girl Xiao Wu said, Zhang Yang put away his smile and said, "You are still young and don't understand the ways of the world."
"I understand. Even if this father-in-law can't come to Lishan, Master can still make this friend. Moreover, he is someone close to His Majesty. It will be a lot convenient for Master and Master in the future."
Seeing his master looking at him all the time, Xiao Wu felt a little guilty. He lowered his head and saluted slightly and muttered: "Disciple talks too much."
Zhang Yang clicked his tongue and said: "People should be born pure and kind, and think about the best things as much as possible."
"Disciple, please remember this."
The car started driving, and the family stood at the entrance of the village to say goodbye.
After the car team had gone away, the couple returned to the village. Li Yue walked all the way with a book in her hand.
"Reading while walking is not a good habit."
"This story from Liaozhai is very touching."
"How many times have you read these stories?" As he spoke, Zhang Yang took her hand and pulled her two steps closer to him, avoiding the stones on the roadside.
An innocent person will not be afraid of the story of Liaozhai. In fact, the daughter-in-law's experience is very simple, and her heart is also simple.
Li Yue's eyes were still on the book, "Are you serious about not writing books anymore?"
"Well, I won't write anymore."
"I heard from my mother that my husband told my father about the diary of a madman. What kind of story was that?"
"It was a story about an ordinary person living in a terrible era, who was tortured and crazy by feudal ethics and ethics."
"I want to see this story."
Faced with the little expectation in her eyes, Zhang Yang raised his head and said: "I promised your father that I will not write any more books in the future."
Li Yue put away the book in her hand and held her husband's arm, "What a pity."
Zhang Yang nodded, "There's nothing you can do about it, man! Once you say something, it's hard to chase it back!"
"How about this? My husband will tell me and I will write it."
"This story is too ironic and torturing, and it's not suitable for you." Zhang Yang glanced at him, "While your father and everyone else are gone, how about we go to the mountains to blow up earth mines for fun?"
