Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 232 Only one envoy from each country is missing

Wang Ping'an felt a big headache. He pointed to the nine largest flower sheds in the middle of the front, and said, "I have also entered the East Palace. I think these flower sheds were built according to the pattern of the Chongxian Hall. They are still there. It is too exaggerated to build a three-story flower shed, so extravagant, it will lose the simplicity that a literati should have, and you will be criticized!"

Di Renjie was also very dissatisfied, and said: "Don't forget, not far from here is the People's Market, where there are countless people who can't eat a meal for a few days, you spend money here, those poor people , what should I feel?"

Lu Xiuzhi rolled his eyes at Di Renjie, and said, "What do they think, what do we have to do with it? Is it because we are afraid that they will think so that we don't hold the poetry meeting? It's really unreasonable!" Dayou went his own way and let others The style of saying go ahead.

Zhao Bi pulled Wang Ping'an, and said with a smile: "The cover is already built, and the money has been spent, so we can't just use it, so just tear it down! Let's go, let's talk in the flower shed, the sky will soon be bright !"

When everyone entered the flower shed, servants immediately brought various fruit refreshments, all of which were fresh in season, and the desserts were even more exquisite, with everything from north to south!

Wang Pingan and others sat in the flower shed, but the two little girls did not want to sit here. Ke Lianwu and Ding Danruo ran to the open space in the field, one little girl went to catch rabbits to play, and the other ran to the little camel Beside, more than touching!

Wang Pingan asked someone to take the list of guests, and saw that there were more than a dozen thick papers. He frowned and said, "I'm afraid that thousands of people will come. Are there so many scholars waiting for examination in Chang'an City?"

Zhao Bi smiled and said: "Thousands of people? You don't need to say anything about it. The number of people coming is more than two thousand. Not only those who are waiting for the exam in Beijing are coming, but also other people. As long as they are famous, Lu and I will come. Not one brother was left, and all of them sent invitations. That’s not counting. I heard that the concubine would invite another group of princes and nobles, but he didn’t mention who he was going to invite. There must be a hundred or so people!"

They were discussing the list at the other end, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the garden.Everyone turned their heads and saw a large group of actresses and singers rushing in, as well as a large number of musicians, hundreds of people crowded in.They carried drums, bells, bells, qins and various musical instruments into the Furong Garden!
In the front of these people were Hamiti and Aydin. These two brothers shouted from a long distance away: "No disease, no disease, I haven't seen you for a few days, think about it, old brother! "

Wang Pingan got up with a smile, greeted him out of the flower shed, and said with a smile: "Master Ha, brother. Why don't you go to see me in the temple these days, but can you forget me?"

"How can I forget anyone, and I can't forget you!" Hamiti stepped forward, took Wang Ping'an's hand, and said with a smile: "It's not like you don't know, ever since you fought with the people from the imperial medical office. , After the big victory, the business of the Medicinal Food Shop is very good, it is very hot every day, it is overcrowded, other people's houses are afraid that the guests will not come, our house is just the opposite, fearing that there will be too many guests and there will be no place to sit!"

Aydin also laughed and said: "The money is coming in like a landslide and a tsunami. It is really impossible to stop it!" I ordered it, and it cost double the price, but it's worth it, let's make a name for you!"

Wang Pingan nodded and said: "Thank you very much. By the way, don't mess with my story anymore. I don't want to become a magic stick, holding a broken wooden sword, and hunting monsters everywhere!"

Hamidi laughed and said: "No, no, absolutely not this time. I spent a lot of money and found someone to write a new play, and you are satisfied. When the poetry and essays meeting starts, you can watch it!" Talking and laughing , They also entered the flower shed.

After another hour, the east was pale, and it was dawn.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of wooden fish coming from a distance, and someone was chanting scriptures again. Everyone was puzzled. Looking outside the garden, they saw hundreds of monks, standing in two rows, holding wooden fish, walking towards the garden.Behind the monk, followed by another hundred or so people, but all of them were well-dressed, except for their long gowns, they all wore cassocks.

Zhao Bi suddenly said: "A few days ago, I heard the son-in-law said that he wanted to invite monks and lay disciples to celebrate the poetry meeting. I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to come. !"

"Are the monks here to wish you happiness?" Wang Ping'an was a little puzzled, thinking of the little eunuch who came to the temple that day, he also asked himself if he was a lay disciple, but he was scolded by Shi Zhongchen, so he must come to tell me that day , I have to wish my poems will be happy?

The little eunuch hadn't explained the matter clearly that day, but was taken away by Shi Zhongchen, so Wang Pingan didn't know the truth, and no one told him!
As soon as the 200 people arrived, Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi hurriedly stood up to greet them, and went to arrange seats. The monks had to take care of them, and the seats they arranged were all good.

After being busy for a while, before I was completely seated, I heard someone shouting outside the garden: "The envoy from Nanbuyu has arrived!"

Wang Pingan picked up the list, and saw that there was indeed the name of the envoy from Nanfuyu on the list.He didn't know much about Nambuyeo, he only knew that this country was also called Baekje.

In modern times, I watched a few episodes of Korean dramas about Nambuyeo, saying that Nambuyeo was wiped out by Datang and Silla together. A pretty princess has traveled to modern times.I didn’t notice it at the time, and now I don’t remember it even more. I just know that in a few years, this unlucky country will be destroyed, and the beautiful woman will either travel through time, or be snatched by Tang Jun to be his wife!

He looked up and saw a large group of people standing outside the garden, as if they were queuing up to go into the garden.Just at this moment, another large group of people came running. Their clothes were similar to those of Nanbuyeo people, but they were aggressive!

Another person shouted: "The Silla envoy has arrived!"

After shouting, saw the sword shining outside the garden, the envoys from Nambuyu and Silla drew out their sabers together, and they looked like they were going to cut each other down!

Nambuyeo and Silla are both countries on the Korean peninsula, located in what is now South Korea.It's just that Nambuyu is not very good at flattering Datang, but Silla is very popular. The two countries have been fighting for many years, but neither can destroy the other. People in the two countries regard each other as enemies, and envoys often exchange swords when they meet. cut!

The envoys from Nambuyu yelled loudly in their own language, but the envoys from Silla immediately responded, also shouting in their own language!

Zhao Bi hurried over, halfway, thinking it was too dangerous, so he beckoned a few attendants to escort him to the middle of the envoys of the two countries. He stared and shouted: "This is the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Come here, speak to me!"

The Great Tang Dynasty was the kingdom of heaven, and the people of the Tang Dynasty never took foreign countries seriously, especially in the eyes of Zhao Bi, a powerful family member. , there is no big difference, who can take them seriously, he doesn't care to know where Nambuyu and Silla are!How dare he go to his poetry meeting and act wildly, no!

When he called out with this voice, the envoys of the two families immediately became honest.In the eyes of the people of the two countries at this time, it is only right and proper for the people of the Tang Dynasty to be superior to them, and it is only natural to scold them!
An envoy once praised the life of the people in the Central Plains, saying that the houses of the people in the Central Plains are tall and the roads are flat. Not only that, but even the pigpens are better than those in their country. The ones that come out are so-so... This is not an exaggeration, this is a true story in history!

The Silla envoy immediately put the saber back into its sheath, stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said, "Young Master Zhao, we meet again, how are you? You are so right, these Nanbuyu people are so rough that they don't In human terms, being so impolite really deserves their title of Baekje pigs!"

The Nambuyu envoy was furious, and said angrily: "You didn't speak human words just now, that...you Silla dog, you are really rude!" It feels wrong. Does it mean that the two parties are not human anymore!
Zhao Bi waved his hand and said, "When you are here, please be quiet, or please leave, but don't curse!"

The Silla envoy smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Zhao is right, just let them go, let's go and write poems!"

The Nan Fuyu envoy was furious, and was about to step forward to argue.But there was a large crowd of people outside the garden, and someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Fusang sent Tang envoys!"

Wang Pingan listened in the flower shed, frowned, and thought: "What's wrong, the poetry meeting hasn't started yet, and the scholars haven't arrived yet, why did the envoys from various countries arrive first? What made them wonder about this poetry meeting?" It’s unreasonable to be so interested and so active, isn’t it?”

The way the envoys were dispatched to the Tang Dynasty was very different from that of Nambuyu Silla. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the garden, the leading envoy got off his horse, bowed when he saw everyone, and greeted each one loudly: "Your Excellency, hello!"

The Silla envoy snorted, raised his head high, and ignored the dispatch of Tang envoys. Silla and Fusang were not in harmony either. Even though they were separated by the sea, petty fights continued.But the envoy from Nanbuyu came forward, held the hand of the Tang envoy, asked questions, and was really affectionate.

Zhao Bi looked back at the flower shed, but saw Wang Ping'an was watching the little girls playing in the field, not looking at the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, he was thinking about how to arrange the seats for the envoys of the three countries, when there was a commotion outside the garden, he saw Several batches of people in strange costumes came.

Someone shouted: "The Khitan envoy has arrived!"

Immediately afterwards, another person said: "The envoy of the Ministry of Xi has arrived!"

"The Messenger of Mohe has arrived!"

Groups of envoys, all with their entourages, arrived on horseback, got off their horses outside the garden, and rushed into the garden.

Di Renjie, who was sitting next to Wang Ping'an, suddenly said: "Brother, today's poetry meeting may not be as simple as just writing poems. If my younger brother guesses correctly, there must be people from the court coming, and there will be no small ones." Already!"

Wang Pingan frowned, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you are the best at inferring world affairs. Who do you think will come? Could it be the father of the concubine?"

Di Renjie thought for a while and said, "It's possible."

Wang Pingan said: "Could it be that the imperial court really wants to open the country and allow people from other countries to participate in scientific examinations, so they are attracted here. This reason seems reasonable, but it can't make these envoys so interested in poetry and prose. , and they came together, earlier than the scholars!"

Di Renjie thought for a while, and said: "The strange thing is that they came so early. This must be a hint. Another point, brother, have you noticed that many envoys have come, but the biggest Turkic envoy is not Didn't come!"

Wang Pingan said: "So, this strange thing happened to the Turkic people!"

"Eight or nine!" Di Renjie nodded emphatically.
