The common people felt a sense of pride in their hearts as they had just discussed. At this time, they were suddenly crowded with these two people, and they were immediately angry.
"I think you are talking nonsense! You must have seen that the Tang Dynasty is so powerful and your country is so weak, so you feel unbalanced and tell such lies!"
"That's right! You should admit that you are weak, but you still don't admit it, and you dare to belittle me, Datang. I think you are really pitiful and hateful!"
"Tsk, tsk, ignorance is not scary. What's scary is that you still speak out about your ignorance!"
The common people of the Tang Dynasty, especially the scholars, used words that were used to bully others, which were passed down from their ancestors. When they spoke at this time, there was not a single curse word, but every word struck a chord in people's hearts.
This immediately made these two foreigners angry!
boom!
A foreigner slapped his palm on the table and shouted angrily: "You...you are the ignorant! Who doesn't know how critical your situation in the Tang Dynasty is now? If you hadn't been begging for mercy and begging our country's envoys to come over,
, do you think we will come to your Datang?"
"It's just you who are dreaming of a great nation, but don't consider the reality! Your Tang Dynasty will be destroyed at no time, and foreign countries will come to visit you, bah!"
The people of the Tang Dynasty all had a strong sense of honor for their family and country.
This is something that runs deep in their bones.
They themselves can scold the current court, but they will never allow people from other countries to scold their country.
So they immediately became angry.
"Damn it! You dare to hit the table! Are you trying to beat us?"
"How dare you slander and insult me, Datang, beat them up!"
"superior!"
When you hit someone, you almost always get a response.
Soon, the people at several tables around them rushed over and started punching and kicking the two foreigners.
These two foreigners were tall and strong and had some skills. But just as they were about to fight back, a few chopsticks flew from nowhere and neutralized their strength.
Then the people's fists came, and they lost their best opportunity, and in the end they had to be beaten up by the people with their heads covered.
Just as long as the hammer lasted for a stick of incense, Jing Zhaoyin's yamen heard the noise and ran over. Only then did the people stop.
But these two foreigners were so bruised and swollen that it was hard to tell which country they were from.
"They, they committed crimes in broad daylight. Does the Tang Dynasty still have royal laws?"
The two foreigners were beaten and cried.
At this time, after seeing the Yamen servant, he cried and complained.
The yamen servant frowned and asked why it happened.
Then they looked at these two foreigners, and their eyes became cold.
A government official asked the people: "Did you beat them?"
The people shook their heads: "We are all good people who abide by the law, how can we beat people!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"They did it themselves and deliberately framed us!"
The officer nodded.
The two foreigners were shocked by the shamelessness of these people.
"You...you, you are talking nonsense!"
They quickly looked at the government officials: "They really beat us!"
"Can anyone prove it?" The yamen servant was very patient.
"this….…"
These two foreigners were stunned. Can they prove it to themselves by beating their own people?
Those who didn't take action didn't look good on themselves, and they certainly wouldn't help them.
So...they unexpectedly found that the beating they received seemed to be in vain.
Seeing the dull expressions on the two men's faces, the Yamen servant asked, "Have you insulted the Tang Dynasty?"
Before the two foreigners could react, the people suddenly said: "Yes, I heard it!"
"And I!"
"We are all witnesses!"
The yamen servant's eyes were cold and he said: "You insult the reputation of the Tang Dynasty in the territory of our country, you are very good! You don't take our laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty in your eyes!"
"It is said in the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If you insult the Tang Dynasty and cause the reputation of the Tang Dynasty to be damaged, anyone whose reputation is damaged will be punished with a hundred sticks!"
The faces of these two foreigners turned pale at this moment, and they finally realized that something was terrible.
The yamen servant did not give the two a chance to explain at all, and said coldly: "I hope you can still be alive after a hundred sticks."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Take it away!"
Then, the two foreigners were taken away with pale faces.
The people all cheered.
The whole restaurant is as lively as the Chinese New Year.
All the people were praising the imperial court for its strength, and soon they continued to discuss the matter of the coming of all nations to the imperial court.
It seems that this episode made them more aware of the coming of all nations to the court.
.….…….….….….
At the same time, the window seat.
Two people, an old man and a young man, are sitting here.
Du Ruhui withdrew his gaze, couldn't help but look at Shen Lian opposite, and said: "Commander Shen, what did you do? Let the people believe so firmly in the coming of all nations to come to court, and share the same hatred with the enemy, and even be so proud of those who persist.
Those who object will take action as soon as they are told."
"And there are those government officials. They clearly saw the people beating the two foreigners in a group. Why did they behave like this?"
Du Ruhui was really surprised.
He just wanted to come out and help the people settle things.
Who knew those government officials were so partial.
When Shen Lian heard this, he just swayed his wine glass and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Du, it is true that foreigners are coming to court. Isn't it normal for them to be so confident?"
"And the Tang Dynasty allowed other countries to come to worship. The people were proud to be Tang people and did not allow others to slander their country. Isn't this normal?"
"As for the government officials, they are government officials of the Tang Dynasty, not lackeys of other countries. They do not favor the people of their own country and give privileges to people from other countries. Isn't that right?"
Du Ruhui couldn't help but frowned and said: "But the coming of all nations to the court...isn't it fake? Aren't those countries coming with all kinds of complicated thoughts?"
"Fake?"
Shen Lian chuckled and said, "Who said it was fake?"
Du Ruhui looked at Shen Lian suspiciously.
Shen Lian said calmly: "Prime Minister Du, if we ourselves don't believe that Wanbang will come to court, then why should we let others believe it?"
"If we ourselves are not confident, then how can we hope that it will become a reality when all nations come to court!"
Du Ruhui was thoughtful.
Shen Lian continued: "It is true that these countries have no good intentions when they come to the Tang Dynasty, but this matter... do they dare to make it public? They don't dare! They also want to lose face!"
"So, on the surface, these countries have sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty! As for what they are thinking, does it matter?"
"It's not important, at least to the common people, it's not important! The common people only need to know that foreign countries have sent envoys to pay homage to the Tang Dynasty. That's enough!"
"The people are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. If the people are confident, the Tang Dynasty will be confident! If the people think that the Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful, then the Tang Dynasty... will really be extremely powerful!"
"The spirit of a country is never maintained by a few people, but by the people of the entire country. It is their spirit, their thoughts, their appearance, and their confidence!"
"So, if they believe it, then this is the coming of foreign countries! Envoys from other countries come to the Tang Dynasty to meet our people and officials... If they feel the people's confidence and pride, they will So you can feel the power of our Tang Dynasty!"
"As the saying goes, three people become a tiger, feel it, feel it..."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Perhaps, even they will think that they are here to pay homage to the Tang Dynasty?"
Du Ruhui's eyes suddenly widened.
This was the first time he heard such an argument.
But…….
He actually thought that Shen Lian's words made sense. It was obviously a fallacy no matter how you heard it. How could something that was not the case at all be deduced from the result and become the real result?
But looking at Shen Lian's indifference and looking at the pride of the people competing against each other, even he felt a little dazed.
It seems that the coming of all nations to the DPRK is really true.
Everyone says this, but if it’s fake, doesn’t it mean it’s true?
He took a deep breath and couldn't help but said: "Is this your plan?"
Shen Lian took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "That's the foundation of everything. I need a strong and confident nation. This is the basis for all my subsequent plans."
Du Ruhui was really filled with emotion when he heard Shen Lian's words.
Originally, when he heard that Li Shimin had given Shen Lian of Prince Chu's palace full responsibility, Du Ruhui was a little worried about the coming of Wan Bang to the court this time.
After all, although Shen Lian was smart and talented, he was still young and did not have much experience in entertaining foreign envoys.
Moreover, Shen Lian was only in the palace of the King of Chu and had never been to the court. It was not easy for Shen Lian to deal with officials from other countries calmly.
He was worried about something unexpected happening.
But now, he suddenly felt... that he was thinking too much.
Shen Lian is indeed young, but his wisdom and mind are enough to make up for their decades of accumulated experience.
There are monsters in this world!
They don't need to experience anything personally. As long as they use their imagination, they can possess the wisdom and experience of themselves and others for decades, and even far surpass the vision and insight of themselves and others.
If you compare yourself to others, you will feel inferior to yourself.
Du Ruhui took a sip of wine and suppressed the emotions and disappointment in his heart.
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen, it seems that you are very well prepared. In this case, I have nothing to worry about."
"Originally I was thinking of giving you a few words of advice, but now it seems..."
Du Ruhui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's a good thing I didn't say this, otherwise I would be really embarrassed now."
"If it ruins your good deeds, you will become even more of a sinner."
Shen Lian laughed and said, "It's not that serious. Dingtian will just be resented and alienated by His Majesty."
Du Ruhui: “….…”
Is this more serious?
Being resented and alienated by His Majesty is equivalent to the end of this life.
Not serious yet?
You bad boy!
Du Ruhui cursed in his heart.
But he wasn't really jealous or anything. After all, he knew that he was definitely not as good as Shen Lian.
If nothing else, just the people's sense of identity, pride, and common hatred... is not what he can achieve.
And Shen Lian, in less than a month, was able to twist the people into a tightrope with the help of Wan Bang coming to the imperial court, making the bottom layer of the Tang Dynasty extremely strong.
This makes Shen Lian truly admire him from the bottom of his heart!
Not only does he solve crimes, but he also governs the country... This Shen Lian of Prince Chu's Mansion is also a monster among monsters!
"An envoy has arrived!"
At this moment, some people sitting by the window suddenly shouted.
Then other people quickly ran to the windows and looked outside.
Sure enough, there was a group of people walking outside the restaurant at this time.
This is a bodyguard of a hundred people, escorting foreign envoys. From their flags, it can be seen that they are envoys from Tiele.
The people were all pointing and saying that Tie Le was so awesome before and now he still wants to be the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty.
Du Ruhui glanced at the head emerging from the carriage, raised his eyebrows, and said with some surprise: "Tiele's eldest prince? It is said that he is the most likely prince to succeed Tiele Khan, which is equivalent to our eldest prince. The Tang Dynasty is the crown prince, and Tiele actually sent the would-be crown prince here?"
Du Ruhui was a little surprised.
Although all the nations came to court, he knew that they all came to plot against the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, this kind of calculation is not very formal, and it is not even too important to those countries. After all, this is a multi-national joint matter, and there are dangers. Just send someone who is similar.
But who would have thought that Tie Le would actually send the quasi-prince, which is a very valuable position.
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "The quasi-prince of Tiele has arrived in Chang'an as an envoy. You, the person in charge, are not going to pick him up?"
Shen Lian took a slow sip of the wine and sighed with satisfaction. He put down the glass and said calmly: "Isn't this the prince? He is just a quasi-prince. Who knows if he was released to attract fire? He is not qualified. Let me pick it up."
"Another envoy has arrived."
Before Du Ruhui could speak, another voice suddenly sounded.
He quickly looked around and saw that the people coming this time were the Tibetan envoys.
After the Turks were wiped out, Tubo became one of the most formidable enemies of the Tang Dynasty. Its fighting power was astonishing. Although its national power was not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, its combat power was not bad.
This time, Tubo brought more than two hundred guards, and the leader of the envoy, Du Ruhui, almost screamed in surprise when he saw it.
"How could it be him!?" Du Ruhui asked in surprise.
"Who?" Shen Lian asked lazily.
Du Ruhui looked at Shen Lian and said, "The prince of Tubo is different from the quasi-prince of Tiele. This one is the real prince! Why is he here?"
"Oh, the prince of Turks!"
Shen Lian said nonchalantly: "Isn't it normal for him to come? The Tubo Khan only has one son."
"So the Tubo Khan only has this one son, and there are not many people in Tubo who have brains, and these princes are the only ones who have some brains, so as envoys and with status, they are not the princes. ?"
He yawned and said lazily: "What's all the fuss about? If this prince dies in the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo Khan is extinct, you can still make a fuss."
Du Ruhui: “….…”
He suddenly looked at Shen Lian faintly and couldn't help but said: "Commander Shen, you...don't you really want the Tubo Khan to die, right? That will make the Tubo Khan go crazy?"
