Wang Can suddenly abolished the regulations, which made many officials from various countries in the Western Regions suddenly feel very uncomfortable after entering the Sui Dynasty. After all, they had entered the Sui Dynasty, lived and ate all the way, and did not have to care about anything or be responsible for anything.
They were served wine and food. But now, there was nothing, and they had to pay for everything themselves.
Such changes made them uncomfortable. However, the Great Sui Dynasty was now extremely powerful. When faced with the Great Sui Dynasty, the countries in the Western Regions dared not speak out in anger, and could only pay their dues honestly.
More and more officials from various countries are gathering, all gathered in Luoyang.
Officials from all over the world came to see the emperor.
With the arrival of these people, the whole of Luoyang became lively. Especially the people were chatty and countless people gathered, which made the security of Luoyang become serious.
However, under the joint arrangements of Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda, it was quite easy to get together.
Throughout Luoyang, everything is stable.
And south of Luoyang City.
In an inn.
Envoys from Yanqi, Shule, Wusun, Qiuci and other countries have all gathered together.
The expressions on the faces of the envoys from various countries were solemn.
In particular, the faces of these people all showed solemn and uneasy expressions. Because after they entered the Great Sui Dynasty this time, they found that earth-shaking changes had taken place in the Great Sui Dynasty. The most important thing was that the Great Sui Dynasty's attitude towards them had also changed.
, no longer treated them as kindly as before, but suppressed them everywhere.
This leaves them without any advantage.
This time, a general came from Shule Kingdom. He looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we have come together to meet the Sui Dynasty. Our purpose is very clear, which is to hope that the Sui Dynasty can open trade routes and allow us to
Merchants, sell goods into the Sui Dynasty."
"The most important thing is to reduce or reduce the taxes we bear. Or even abolish the taxes we bear. But under the current circumstances, the Sui Dynasty seems to be a little targeted in its treatment of us."
"Judging from this policy, the Sui Dynasty treated us no longer as kindly as before."
"So this trip may not go well."
The general of Shule State said: "So now, we have to be prepared. This negotiation with the Sui Dynasty will definitely not be easy. Before that, we have discussed properly how to face various possibilities."
The envoy from the Yanqi Kingdom said: "I'm afraid, I have to threaten the Sui Dynasty first."
The general of Shule State asked: "How to threaten?"
The envoy of Yanqi State said: "The most direct way is that once the Sui Dynasty does not agree to abolish the tax on the goods of our merchants, then all the countries in the Western Regions will unite and send troops to attack the Sui border.
Among the countries in the Western Region, none of them can be the opponent of the Sui Dynasty. However, when we unite, it is different."
The envoy of Qiuci State said: "Yes, the threat of all our countries united is enough to frighten the Sui Dynasty. In my opinion, it is better to directly demonstrate to the Sui Dynasty and coerce the Sui Dynasty to agree."
"inappropriate!"
The general of Shule State said: "We intend to coerce the Sui Dynasty, but in fact, once the Great Sui Dynasty really plans to go to war with us, it is difficult for us to really attack the Great Sui Dynasty. Once we want to attack the Great Sui Dynasty, which country will be the main force?
, which country is willing to send more soldiers? This is an extremely difficult thing to handle. Therefore, it is definitely not possible to send troops unless it is absolutely necessary."
The Wusun envoy said: "In my opinion, the most important thing is to use both soft and hard tactics."
The great general of Shule State said: "How to use soft and hard tactics at the same time?"
The envoy of Wusun Kingdom said: "We came from the Western Regions, and all countries brought corresponding local specialties and corresponding gifts. We united and presented gifts together."
"To have such an audience, it must be an unprecedented event."
"The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty will definitely be very happy."
"This emperor of the Sui Dynasty has always had a good reputation and always loves great achievements. We give him such a great face that we can even respect the emperor of the Sui Dynasty as the Khan of Heaven and make him the co-leader."
"That's the benefit we give."
The envoy of Wusun State said: "After all these things are arranged, we can make a request, saying that our respective countries are economically difficult and it is not easy for the country to operate. We need the Sui Dynasty to open the market. We need the Sui Dynasty to open the market."
We will give more discounts and hope Sui Dynasty can reduce or reduce the taxes on our goods."
"This is about emotion!"
"This is also a deliberate cry for poverty and a deliberate trick of suffering."
"The emperor of the Sui Dynasty was so generous. After he accepted our benefits, and saw that we were in such misery and that we were in such need of help, he would definitely give us preferential treatment, and even exempt us from taxes on our commodity operations."
The Wusun envoy said: "This is my plan."
After a pause, the Wusun envoy continued: "If under such conditions, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty does not care about our life or death, then we can pretend to be broken. As long as the Sui Dynasty is not willing to help, we
The cavalry made a rebellion and attacked the Sui border."
"Da Sui cannot afford the price."
"In the end, I will definitely agree."
"So we are bound to win this time."
The envoy of Wusun State said: "Although we will lose some face in meeting the emperor of the Sui Dynasty this time, we can gain real benefits. I think we can give it a try."
"I agree!"
The envoy of Kucha Kingdom nodded and answered.
After thinking about it for a while, the general of Shule State also said: "Yes, this suggestion is good. For us, such an organized and logical plan is the most appropriate arrangement."
After a pause, the general of Shule Kingdom asked: "Everyone, what do you think of the suggestions put forward by Wusun Kingdom?"
Upon hearing this, envoys from various countries expressed their agreement.
For them, this is the most suitable solution.
Upon seeing this, the general of Shule Kingdom said: "In that case, we will submit our credentials together and prepare to meet the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty."
Immediately, the great general of Shule Kingdom and the envoys from other countries in the Western Regions made arrangements. They all arranged for people to meet with the emperor and prepare to submit their credentials for a formal visit.
It is a pity that when these envoys from various countries arrived outside the imperial city, they were unable to enter and were not received by Yang Guang.
Yang Guang ignored people at all.
Yang Guang now spends most of his time practicing.
Government affairs are handled by the Imperial Prefecture.
Even though people from various countries in the Western Regions came to meet him, Yang Guang still ignored him. Therefore, people from various countries in the Western Regions failed to meet with the emperor. After being frustrated one after another, they thought of inquiring about the news. Finally, they found out that in the Sui Dynasty, it was the Imperial Prefecture that handled the government affairs.
event.
In order to have an audience with the emperor, one must first have an audience with the Imperial Preceptor.
At least, they had the opportunity to meet the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty with the consent of the Imperial Preceptor Wang Can.
Wang Can is no stranger to people from various countries in the Western Regions. A few years ago, Wang Can was just a low-level officer in the army. He finally became famous by defeating warriors from various countries in the Western Regions. Unexpectedly, now, he has become the leader of the Sui Dynasty.
division.
Since the envoys from various countries in the Western Regions can come, they are all human beings. As soon as they heard about Wang Can's situation, the first thing they did was to inquire about Wang Can. After knowing what Wang Can had done in the past few years, one by one
I suddenly felt uneasy inside.
Under Wang Can's iron-blooded hand, the turmoil in the Sui Dynasty subsided.
During the Sui Dynasty, it began to expand outward.
The Great Sui Dynasty continued to increase its strength.
In particular, the Sui Dynasty had destroyed Goguryeo and even annexed the Japanese countries to the west. Under such a premise, the strength of the Sui Dynasty was already formidable, and it might be possible to attack other countries in the Western Regions.
So the envoys from various countries were a little panicked.
At the same time, they were also happy.
Fortunately, the Great Sui Dynasty came.
Now, they can use this meeting to test the attitude of the Sui Dynasty and Wang Can. If the Sui Dynasty wants to take action against the Western Regions, they can go back and prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard. If the Sui Dynasty wants to take action against the Western Regions, they can go back and make preparations in advance to avoid being caught off guard. If the Sui Dynasty wants to take action against the Western Regions, they can
They can feel at ease if they don't take action against the Western Regions.
However, the most important thing for everyone is to open up business channels so that both parties can be exempted from the taxes of the countries in the Western Region, so that all countries can profit from it.
It’s not like you earn very little.
People from various countries in the Western Region knew that the government center was in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, so they came together to the inn where they lived and outside the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. They came directly to pay a visit, so the crowd was very large.
When the concierge of the Imperial Prefect's Mansion received the order, he immediately went to report it.
This notification was also forwarded to Fang Xuanling.
After Fang Xuanling got the news, he looked at Kong Yingda and said with a smile: "Brother Kong, as expected, people from various countries in the Western Regions have not been able to see His Majesty directly. Now, they have come to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to ask for an audience with the Imperial Preceptor."
Kong Yingda said: "However, the Imperial Master left with his wife and Mr. Cheng today. They will not come back until tomorrow. It is impossible to receive these people today."
Fang Xuanling said: "Then inform them and come back tomorrow."
"Can!"
Kong Yingda nodded.
Fang Xuanling looked at the porter who delivered the message and ordered: "Go and tell all the countries in the Western Region that the Imperial Master is not at the residence today. He will return to the Imperial Master's residence tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Ask them to come back tomorrow."
"yes!"
The concierge received the order and went to inform him immediately.
When the concierge came to the door and reported the news, the scene immediately exploded. They came now to see Wang Can. But now, Wang Can is not here, so it is impossible for them to complete their mission now.
So everyone was very angry.
Some of them actually said that Wang Can must be at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and deliberately did not see them.
Some people also say that Wang Can did this intentionally.
In short, people in various countries in the Western Regions are extremely angry.
After the concierge saw this, he ignored these people from the various countries in the Western Regions and turned around to enter the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. He did not believe that these barbarians from various countries in the Western Regions dared to directly rush into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
After the Shule State General and everyone made a fuss, seeing that there was still no movement in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, they finally had no choice but to retreat. They could only come back tomorrow because they could not really break into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
They don't have this strength.
They don't even have the courage.
Therefore, no matter how angry the people from various countries in the Western Regions are, it will not help. They can only go back honestly.
