The Tang State Posthouse is located in the east of Yanjing City, not far from the East Gate. The posthouse has a tall porch, and two tall stone lions stand at the door. The Tang troops on duty are in bright uniforms, equipped with swords, guns, swords and halberds, and are ready in full array.
Xie Ruyu sat down in the pavilion in the front yard of the post house, holding an ice cube in his hand, frowning and thinking about today's events.
Li Qing was not a qualified emperor. She was able to ascend the throne, mostly because of Brother Su's contribution.
Brother Su, a great literary master of his generation, unexpectedly fell to the point of carrying a knife to fight with others. Last time, he really shouldn't have listened to the Fourth Sister's words and acted rashly without success. The Fourth Sister was still too eager.
The military level of the Han State was still far behind that of the Tang Dynasty, and even a small Tule could not be dealt with. If the Tang and Han Dynasties had moved to another place, today's Thule would have been the pasture of the Tang State.
I feel sorry for Brother Su. As a scholar, he still has to do military work for Li Qing. This time, he must act swiftly and quickly to bring Brother Su to our Tang Dynasty, so that Brother Su can write poems with peace of mind and become a legend.
The emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty was no less fond of poetry than his Majesty, so he spent all his efforts to forge the calligraphy of Liangzhou poems and poems and send them to the Western Qin palace.
"Bang"
A half-deflated money bag fell on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.
Xie Ruyu looked up and saw Wei Huzi sitting down on the stone bench with an unhappy look on his face. When he saw the deflated money bag, Xie Ruyu smiled and said:
"Old Wei, you are spending your money too fast. You should go less often to the Bada Hutong. If my wife deducts your monthly payment, I won't help you anymore."
General Wei's face turned darker and he was about to cry when he looked at Xie Ruyu.
"I was wronged."
Xie Ruyu looked at Wei Huzi in astonishment: "If you don't go to the Bada Hutong, where else can you, Old Wei, spend so much money in one go?"
General Wei looked up at the top of the pavilion. After a long while, he said angrily:
"Sir, I invited Prince Su to dinner. I spent a lot of money and it makes me feel bad."
Xie Ruyu's eyes lit up: "Invite Brother Su to dinner? Does Brother Su like it there? Will he go there next time?"
General Wei raised his head in astonishment. After a moment, he thought of his mission, thought about it carefully and said, "This, should, maybe, probably..."
Xie Ruyu's brows furrowed.
General Wei rubbed his hair and struggled for a long time: "Sir, I really don't know. I bumped into Pu Chao's grandson while wandering around. Prince Su happened to be eating there, and then I was fooled."
Xie Ruyu tapped his fingers on the table, and many small pits instantly appeared on the stone table. As Xie Ruyu moved his fingers, the small pits became deeper and deeper.
"Brother Su's whereabouts must be clarified..."
In the Qin State Post House, the same scene was also taking place.
Pu Chao and Ma Yuan were sitting in the room, surrounded by more than a dozen Qin army generals. Several people gathered around the defense map on the table and talked about what happened during the day.
"Wei Huzi's thick and fine hairs should not be underestimated. I thought about it. Today's payment of the bill must be a show of goodwill to Su Hou. I didn't expect that we fell into Wei Huzi's plan. We were originally good friends with Su Hou.
The matter should be ours."
Ma Yuan patted the table and said.
Pu Chao nodded: "What Mr. Ma said is that I didn't think twice about it at the time. I thought Su Hou was deliberately trying to trick people. Now that I think about it, this is the opportunity given by Su Hou."
A young general sitting in the main seat said: "I think Su Lu is just like that, there is nothing special about him. Did he really write those poems?"
Pu Chao admired and said: "Young Master, the poems are definitely not fake. Su Hou will not cheat on this. Xie Ruyu and Xie Rumei of the Tang Dynasty have approved it, which means it must be Su Hou who did it.
"
"I also sent a summary of Han's war in Diaoyin to Li Shuai. I believe Li Shuai will be able to judge Su Hou's command level very quickly. If he is really powerful, I, Da Qin, will make a lot of money this time."
The young general snorted and said nothing.
A sergeant walked quickly into the room holding a homing pigeon.
"Shaojun, Lord Puchao, Lord Ma Yuan, and Li Shuai's reply letter has arrived."
After hearing this, several people looked at the carrier pigeon in the sergeant's hand at the same time, as if they couldn't believe that Li Shuai's reply would be so quick.
Ma Yuan took the pigeon and untied the reply letter tied to the pigeon's leg. The reply letter was only one finger wide and one finger long, with two simple sentences written on it.
"In the future, the military god can hope to bring Su Lu back to Da Qin at all costs."
Ma Yuan and Pu Chao looked at each other, and each saw the solemnity in the other's eyes. Being judged like this by Li Shuai showed that Su Lu also had strong military command capabilities.
Future military god, Li Shuai hasn't made such comments about people in many years.
Who was the last one? Zhou Xuan who died in the Tang Dynasty. No, Zhou Xuan was the last one. The last one was Xiao Yan of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even if he faced off against Li Shuai, he was a peerless general who had never been defeated.
Li Shuai's reply was circulated among several generals, and the atmosphere in the room instantly solidified.
Pu Chao blew out the candles and said: "Follow Li Shuai's request. Think about how many defeats Xiao Yan has brought us. Even if Li Shuai's judgment is wrong, Su Hou is worthy of us."
…
The palace is splendid and magnificent, decorated with colorful decorations and pillars everywhere.
The Imperial Guards in bright armor stood solemnly on the corridors at all levels in front of the Chaotian Palace, with colorful flags flying and swords, guns, swords and halberds standing everywhere.
Generals and officials in purple, lake and green colors interspersed with each other and stood in the main hall. The whole hall was crowded with people.
Li Qing was sitting high on the throne, with Chang Ning and Su Ge at his side. Gao Zhan, with a whisk hanging in his arm, stood sickly on the edge of the imperial steps.
"Announce that the envoys from various countries will come to the palace to meet you."
Gao Zhan's voice was full of hoarseness.
After a while, the envoys from Tang and Han filed in. The Thule envoy, with a proud look on his face, led several Thule envoys into the hall.
Xie Ruyu took the first step and stood in front of everyone: "Foreign ministers congratulate the emperor on his enthronement, and wish him happiness, longevity, health, and long-lasting national destiny."
Next to Pu Chao, Shaojun Li Lu glared at Pu Chao, as if you, as an envoy, could not defeat Xie Ruyu, it was really a disgrace to the Qin soldiers.
Pu Chao gave a helpless smile, took a step forward, flicked his arm, and directly pulled Echizen's bony protrusion back when he wanted to speak.
"Foreign ministers congratulate the emperor on his enthronement of the throne, setting a precedent in the past, and becoming an emperor for the ages."
On the throne, Li Qing looked at Pu Chao and Xie Ruyu in surprise. Neither of them followed the etiquette of diplomatic relations. They both wanted to please themselves, or they each had their own Xiao Jiujiu.
Wu Gutu was pushed aside by Pu Chao, his face turned red, and his fists were clenched. But thinking of his purpose, he glanced at Su Lu who was standing at the head of the generals with fear, cursed in his heart, and glared at Pu Chao
With one glance, he stepped forward in an orderly manner and congratulated Li Qing on his ascension to the throne.
After listening to the congratulations from the Three Kingdoms, Li Qing flicked his sleeves to indicate to the three of them to excuse themselves and spoke casually.
"The three of you have come a long way and have worked hard. After watching the ceremony, you can linger in the capital for a few days. I have already written to the Secretary Kuan about what you want. If there is any news, I will inform you immediately."
Li Lu suddenly took a step forward, raised his chin and said:
"I have always heard that Su Hou is proficient in poetry, songs, martial arts and military formations. The foreign minister has an unkind request. I want to see whether Su Hou's ability is as good as the rumors say, and he can use troops like a god."
Xie Ruyu glanced at Li Lu approvingly. Li Chengfeng asked Li Lu to come to Han to gain experience. This time he was really a party person. With his playboy temperament, he would go up and stir up troubles by himself without having to instigate them himself.
Thinking like this, Xie Ruyu glanced at Su Lu standing in front of him and shook his head slightly.
Brother Su, Brother Su, Li Lu is from the Li family of the Western Qin Dynasty. You still have two skills in fighting. It doesn't matter if you can't compete in the battle, as long as you don't hurt yourself, otherwise I will be scolded by the fourth sister if I take you back.
