When the Baekje envoy saw Chang'an City, he couldn't help but praise: "A city of such a majestic is indeed a central country."

The majestic Chang'an City is dazzling, but the follower is a little worried, "This matter depends on the attitude of the Tang people. If they are still cold, then this trip will be in vain."

The envoy nodded and said firmly: "If you come in vain, come in vain, you have to try it. Last time the envoy of the Tang Dynasty said that Chang'an will open his mind to welcome friends from Baekje. Let's try it today."

When they arrived at the city gate, the Tang Dynasty officials who accompanied him negotiated a few words, but the soldiers guarding the gate said, "Please wait in the awning outside the city."

What does this mean?

There is a pergola outside the city, where those traveling farewells and those who bid farewell will gather here, drink some wine, write a few poems, and then say goodbye.

But this is a mission!

Why wait outside?

The messenger was intimidated, and his followers had already started to scold him.

"What else can we do when we are so humiliating? Go back."

The messenger shook his head, "I have arrived in Chang'an, and I have submitted the documents and then went back."

As an envoy, you naturally cannot be impulsive and should fully consider the situation of all parties.

The news has been reported to the Honglu Temple.

"Shaoqing, the Baekje envoy is here. According to the last explanation, they have already asked them to wait outside the city."

Zhu Tao, the young minister of the Honglu Temple, stood up, "You don't have to say it, I know."

He then rushed into the palace to ask for a meeting.

"Your Majesty, the Baekje messenger is here."

Li Zhi was stunned, "Baoji messenger...Sila's head and rat, Baekje..."

Zhu Tao said with a bright look: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty wants Baekje to know that Silla is not an ally of the Tang Dynasty."

What kind of allies? After Jia Ping'an returned from his mission last time, Zhu Tao asserted that the Silla people were not authentic.

If you win over Baekje like this, you can also form a restraint.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty cannot be regarded as a fool by the Silla people!"

These words obviously stabbed Li Zhi in the lungs, and he looked faint, "Let's go out to welcome the Honglu Temple."

The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple came out to welcome him, and this was the treatment of welcoming friends.

Later, Zhu Tao led a group of officials to fight ceremonial wars and left the imperial city in a mighty manner.

Outside Chang'an City, the Baekje envoy had already drunk three cups of tea and was so greasy that she wanted to eat dried biscuits.

"What does the Tang Dynasty mean?"

He couldn't help but ask the accompanying Tang officials.

"This... must be reported."

These local officials did not know about the changes in the foreign policy of the Tang Dynasty, and they all felt that they were intentional neglect.

Intentional neglect is also a diplomatic language, allowing you to know the attitude of the Tang Dynasty, either bow your head or go wherever you come.

The envoy thought of the high expectations of the junior high school for his trip and couldn't help but cry: "I came with sincerity, but... the last time the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Yangbo said that Chang'an would open his arms to welcome friends from Baekje. He didn't see his arms, but he was beaten with a little."

The followers all had their faces and didn't even drink tea.

"Someone is here."

There was a noise in the city gate, and then the ceremonial guard came out.

"Who is this travel?"

The officials stood in unison.

Zhu Tao then came out, and he said with a stern face: "Where is the Baekje messenger?"

The accompanying Tang officials rushed over, "Zhu Shaoqing, this is the Baekje envoy."

The Baekje messenger was already confused at this moment.

He thought the Tang Dynasty wanted to leave his party alone, but he didn't expect that the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple would come, this...

Could it be to welcome each other?

But as a diplomat, he knew that even the envoy of Silla, an ally, had never been treated like this when he came to the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, Baekje?

And it was the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. Unless such people were visited by important people, such as a Khan or a lord of the country, you would not expect him to go out of the city to greet him.

He was very happy, but he was not sure.

Zhu Tao's eyes turned, he looked at the messenger and said kindly: "I have worked hard all the way."

In an instant, all the aggrievance and depression disappeared, and the messenger couldn't help but cry, "Da Tang... really extended his arms to welcome Baekje."

...

"The Baekje messenger is here."

A minor official came to the Honglu Temple and brought Zhu Tao's words, "Zhu Shaoqing said that the envoy was quite moved, and he repeatedly said that what Wu Yangbo said was true. The Tang Dynasty was so enthusiastic that he felt at home. After returning, he would definitely let Baekje know the kindness of the Tang Dynasty."

This matter is half done!

Jia Ping'an was happy in his heart and hurriedly went to find Zhu Tao.

"Zhu Shaoqing, can the Baekje envoy have any requests?"

When doing missions, they usually report their own recent situation and their disputes with neighboring countries. Then the Tang Dynasty needs to express their opinions, such as supporting Silla, and then they will warn Baekje to take care of themselves.

This is the meaning of diplomacy.

Another type is to come with a request.

Zhu Tao smiled and said, "The Baekje envoy was even a little incoherent, saying that Silla frequently raided the border, and Kim Yu-shin often led his troops to whistle by. If he was not careful, he would be invaded by his troops."

Silla!

"Sila is still thinking about defeating Baekje." Jia Ping'an said confidently: "I met Jin Chunqiu last time. This person is deep and ambitious, and is not a mediocre person."

"I know, you don't have to say it." Zhu Tao pondered for a while, "Jin Chunqiu succeeded to the throne, since he was an ambitious person... he should first be to intimidate all forces in the country's middle school. Before this, he dared not go to war with the outside world, otherwise his foundation would be unsolicited. Once defeated, Silla's middle school would have opposition."

Jia Ping'an: "..."

This Zhu Shaoqing, who always likes to interrupt others and speaks like "You don't have to say it, I know." His eyes are so sharp?

Silla and Baekje started another war several years later, during which time, Kim Chun-qiu was consolidating his power.

I underestimated the heroes of the world!

There was Wang Xuance in front and Zhu Tao in the back. There were countless such officials in the Tang Dynasty. This was the founder of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Jia Ping'an was happy. He knew that such a Tang Dynasty could continue the prosperity by avoiding those big pits and renovating it.

And the Zhu Tao in front of him is a rare diplomatic talent.

"Zhu Shaoqing..."

"You don't have to say it, I know."

Jia Ping'an: "..."

"I said I'll drink together."

Zhu Tao was stunned, "It's easy to say."

...

At noon, Chu Suiliang ate some food and took a walk. As soon as he entered the room, the guests came.

"Dengshan is busy now, and I dare not disturb him. But when I heard that the auxiliary machine had a dispute with the emperor, I wanted to come and ask, are you going to assist the emperor now?"

The old man has a hooked nose and his eyes are calm.

Chu Suiliang said lightly: "The overall situation is the most important thing."

"What is the overall situation?" the old man sneered: "The previous situation was the Eight Pillar Kingdom, but later the Eight Pillar Kingdom was dispersed. Some people died and some people were defeated and helpless. Now you are the new Eight Pillar Kingdom. Have you changed your appetite and started to eat vegetarian food?"

Chu Suiliang was silent.

The old man stood up, "I came here just to tell you that the emperor is a tiger and wolf. Did you hear that tiger and wolf do not eat people? Today's forbearance will inevitably be exchanged for tomorrow's butcher knife. You should do it yourself."

Chu Suiliang clenched his fists, but he was not angry.

"I..."

There was a brighter look in the old man's eyes and it flashed away.

But Chu Suiliang then took a deep breath, "I will naturally discuss this with the auxiliary machine."

The old man sneered: "Take it on your own!"

...

In the morning, Yuchi Baolin brought a few sons to the back to greet the old man Yuchi Gong.
