For Dashi, this is by no means a good thing.

But now the request made by Chen Zhengtai is something that Dashi is unwilling to refuse.

Don’t have money to read novels? I’ll give you cash or coins, and I’ll receive them for a limited time of 1 day! Follow the public account [Book Friends Camp] and get them for free!

After the Great Food King was released, the first thing he did was to send a large number of envoys, because he saw the terrifying strength of the Tang Dynasty!

The last time, there were only dozens of people raiding the royal city. If the next time, the mighty Tang army and the Persians rushed into the Dashi, then... the Dashi people could hardly think of any way to resist it.

Since you can't beat it, you can only get along with me.

But obviously... it was just nominal title, and it did not have much effect. At least the Tang Dynasty hoped to get more.

And this...if you don't agree, it will inevitably lead the Tang Dynasty to completely turn to Persia, but if you agree, it will leave huge hidden dangers, causing the current food that is at its peak to be strangled.

He was confused, but he didn't dare not respond, and just said that he would definitely consider it.

Chen Zhengtai is not an unreasonable person, and he will not force others to express himself generously.

The atmosphere became a little pleasant under Chen Zhengtai's mediation, and it was always a joy for the host and guests.

…………

In the palace building.

"Your Majesty, the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty from all countries have entered Chang'an. Your Highness Liang asked the envoys of Tang to gather together." Zhang Qiansui stepped in, bowed to Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin nodded: "Oh... what did you say?"

"This... I don't know." Zhang Qian said awkwardly: "It's not easy to inquire."

Li Shimin immediately laughed: "That's true. Since I have handed over the diplomatic relations to Chen Zhengtai, I naturally believe it. Let him do it myself."

Zhang Qian thought for a while and said, "But I'm thinking that Your Highness Liang is more impatient, but I don't know what to do. However, the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple have a lot of complaints about this."

"What can they have to complain about?" Li Shimin showed some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Qian didn't have the courage to tell the truth, but just said silently in his heart that the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple are almost in decoration.

Originally, whenever the envoys of Tang were sent, the Ministry of Rites was responsible for contacting each other, while the Honglu Temple was responsible for entertaining the hospitality.

But what about now? Although there are many vassal states in the world, the Silla, Baekje, and the Tang envoys from the Kingdom of Japan have no longer had anything to do with the Ministry of Rites and the Temple of Honglu. Now they have relied on the Dashi, and Persia and the Western Regions have nothing to do with them.

There were Turks and the like before, but now they have been destroyed.

All the diplomatic relations matters were handed over to Chen Zhengtai, and the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple had become empty-handed, so it would be strange if you were happy.

After Zhang Qian complained in his heart, he smiled and said with a smile: "It is reasonable to have complaints over there. They think... His Highness Liang... After all, he is not involved in foreign affairs, but he has made good diplomatic relations on behalf of the emperor, so there will naturally be omissions."

The implication is that Chen Zhengtai is not professional, we are professional.

Li Shimin only smiled and said, "The decent imperial officials are like women, and they are very resentful and resentful. I am giving them to Chen Zhengtai because the Chen family is outside the pass!"

"The Gentile affairs are mostly related to Chen's family. Besides, Chen Zhengtai's affairs are more at ease. There is nothing wrong with this. Let the Ministry of Rites and others be more at ease and not be too much."

Zhang Qian nodded and said, "Yes, but... I heard..."

Li Shimin glanced at Zhang Qian, frowned and said, "What did you hear?"

Zhang Qiandao: "I heard that the Minister of Rites Dou Lu Kuan sent a 'Ten Memorial on the New Affiliated Vocational Kingdoms' to the Three Provincial Departments and One Pavilion. The three Provincial Departments have a good evaluation."

Li Shimin suddenly understood what it meant.

This Dou Lu Kuan is unwilling to be lonely. After all, he is also the Minister of Rites. The Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel can compete with each other. Now that he has lost his diplomatic power, he is inevitably a little unwilling to accept it. He simply submitted a memorial to express his concern about it.

"He is really idle, too." Li Shimin smiled: "What do Fang Qing and the others say?"

"It is said that it is a long-term plan for the country." Zhang Qiandao: "These ten memorials not only show the kindness of our Tang Dynasty, but also show the courtesy of the vassals, and even more show the majesty of the emperor. It is rare to get more."

Li Shimin became interested: "Send those ten memorials to me, I want to see them."

Zhang Qian did not dare to neglect, so he hurried to the Shangshu Province to collect the memorial and delivered it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the memorial with interest, opened it and nodded with relief. Then he said, "It is indeed a good plan for the country. He not only followed the Sui Dynasty's restraining strategy, but also made corrections based on the current situation."

Li Shimin seemed very happy. Obviously, this was written by Dou Lu Kuan racked his brains. Dou Lu Kuan had been in the Ministry of Rites for a long time and his level was still not low. He regulated many matters such as how to regulate the vassal states, how to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to rituals.

On the basis of Emperor Wen of Sui, he made great suggestions to strengthen the control of the vassal states. No wonder Fang Xuanling and others all agreed.

What Li Shimin wants is face after all. As the saying goes, I, Li Shimin, is better than the emperors of all dynasties.

In Dou Lukuan's memorials, some improvements were obviously made on this.

So Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "I never thought that this Dou Luqing family is still very good at it. Yes, what are the suggestions on Luange?"

Seeing that Li Shimin admired this memorial very much, Zhang Qian said with a strange expression: "The memorial was sent to Luange for a review, but..."

Li Shimin said strangely: "But what?"

"The reply from Luange is: It's ridiculous and ridiculous, I can't even look at it!"

Li Shimin: “…”

Zhang Qian said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, Princess Sui'an has a lot of things to do every day. I think... I really don't have any time."

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It's not like that. This is my daughter. In order to protect her husband. Okay, let's not talk about this, I already know the thoughts of the Dou Luqing family, but... the matters of the vassals should not be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, so Chen Zhengtai will be allowed to deal with it! By the way, let these ten memorials be left to Zhengtai for a look, maybe... they will learn from him."

Zhang Qian looked at Li Shimin deeply and said, "Here."

…………

Dou Lukuan's memorial actually responded a lot in the court.

Of course, everyone knows that Dou Lukuan’s thoughts are really impossible to live, so this is the worst option. In fact, it is just to attract some attention and not to hurt the good.

The palace sent these ten memorials to the Liang Palace. At this time, Chen Zhengtai only looked at the ten memorials and threw them aside, and then someone called Chen Aizhi.

Chen Aizhi is now the founder of the newspaper industry. Although there are more and more newspapers in the world, from the four posters in Lanzhou to the newspapers in Jiangnan, and even Baekje, there are Baekje Daily.

However, the compilation of these newspapers, all of them were from news reports.

But every time he saw Chen Zhengtai, Chen Aizhi was still a little nervous. At this time, he was sitting with caution, like a child who was about to be scolded at any time.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but smile, and then said, "In a few days, Your Majesty will summon envoys from all countries to submit their letters of state. The Newspaper must prepare in advance, and the front page manuscripts must also be prepared in advance. I have a draft here. You can put other things aside in the past few days and polish them. After Your Majesty summoned the envoys from the Tang Dynasty, you will publish them and see them in the newspapers. Of course, before this, you must keep the secrets strictly. This draft must not be shown to anyone."

Chen Aizhi nodded, took the draft, subconsciously looked down, and then... a look of ecstasy flashed through his eyes.

Obviously... Chen Aizhi was both surprised and excited about the content in this draft. He knew very well what news could attract people's attention, and if the content in the draft was on the front page, it would inevitably be an explosive news.

Chen Aizhi said, "Student understands, don't worry, your highness will definitely keep the secret before."

Not to mention that if the news is leaked, Chen Zhengtai will definitely not be spared. If the news is leaked, the Newspaper will probably lose an explosive news, and Chen Aizhi will never like to see it.

"Very good." Chen Zhengtai got up, then stretched and said, "Go and do it."

Chen Aizhi stood up and saluted.

But Chen Zhengtai suddenly said, "By the way."

Chen Aizhi stopped and said carefully: "I wonder what instructions does Your Highness have?"

"Have you ever seen this ten spurs of Doulu Kuan in the news?"

"There are two newspapers in Chang'an that were published yesterday." Chen Aizhi said seriously: "I don't know if it was leaked by the three provinces or the Ministry of Rites, but the students think that such memorials do not have much value in reporting. It's just that some people in the Ministry of Rites or the three provinces want to give it a blow, so the news newspaper was not adopted."

"It's true." Chen Zhengtai sighed: "Look at this Dou Lu Kuan, he really wants to show off. If he wants to show off, let him show off. Anyway, the news newspaper has been idle these days, so it's okay to report it, and it's nothing serious."

Chen Aizhi took a deep breath: "Here."

A few more days later, on this day, Li Shimin got up very early.

Today's morning court involves sending Tang envoys from various countries to visit the palace, which is a very decent thing for Li Shimin, who is quite shameful.

So I got up early to take a shower, then changed my clothes and changed into a crown suit. Li Shimin faced the bronze mirror and let Zhang Qian comb his hair. Li Shimin suddenly saw himself in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but say, "Did I have white hair?"

He rarely looked at himself seriously, and at this moment... he seemed to notice something.

Zhang Qian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty... I pinched them."

Li Shimin sighed and said, "It's just a matter of trying to cover up the truth. There will be something in the future. After all, I'm old."

He seemed a little depressed, and his former spirit seemed to have left him.

Li Shimin suddenly said, "Zhang Lishi, I heard... there is an old man in Chang'an City who can live to be 180 years old. Is this true or false?"

"I have also heard of it." Zhang Qiandao: "What kind of pill is it to eat."

"This must be a scam of the elixir of immortality." Li Shimin laughed, unable to hide his loss in his eyes: "Since ancient times, birth, old age, sickness and death, even if it is an emperor, how can there be immortal?"

Zhang Qian thought for a while and said, "I also think that it may be just a fool, but... I think that today is different from the past. Look at many things today, such as gunpowder and steam locomotives, which have never been seen in all dynasties. Most of those alchemy warlocks are cheating, but I heard... What kind of scientific medicine is popular now? After taking scientific medicine, some can make children smarter, and some can make people live longer."

"Science..." Li Shimin's eyes opened and he was slightly moved: "Is that true? Warlock, I don't believe it, but science... I believe it a little. You can go and inquire and tell the truth or the false."

Zhang Qian immediately understood Li Shimin’s thoughts.

As for science...it's very popular now.

So many medicines have begun to be named after this. It is said that there is a smart medicine that I don’t know how to make it work. Anyway, it’s just scientifically produced. It’s very popular in the market now, saying that you can make progress after taking it.

As for the scientific elixir, there are occasional rumors that it is... the secret recipe circulated from Erpigou Research Institute. These secret recipes were studied hard by countless people from the institute, but... it is not easy to refine such medicines. The people in the institute... have selfish intentions and keep them for themselves to take them, and refuse to show them to others.

Your Majesty's dragon body is no longer the same as before, especially after an expedition to Goguryeo, his health is getting worse and worse, and he is no longer as fierce as the dragon spirit and tiger when he was.

Therefore... it is natural to have some expectations for certain things.
To be continued...
