Transmigrate to be an Ancient Saint - C370 The first problem of li shimin

After the servants left, Sun Shangxiang looked in the direction where the servants had left and found a stool to slowly sit on.

Earlier, the impact that the old man had on her soul was extremely powerful. Although she had once been a travelling adventurer because of her love for him, the travelling adventurer she was was was obviously not on par with the older generation that came from Qin Kingdom.

Although the current Rangers were barely called Rangers, they were still far inferior compared to the Rangers under the tutelage of Prime Minister Lu.

The gap between them was probably similar to that of Hongmen in the twentieth century and that of a certain social figure in the twenty-first century.

“This is what a Ranger is!” Sun Shangxiang sighed lightly.

However, Zhuge Liang and the others were confused upon hearing this. They did not disturb the Xiao Wen who was still in his ashen state, as if he had not recovered from the direct attacks of the clan elders. They all looked towards Sun Shangxiang.

Zhuge Liang asked, “Ah, Sister Xiang, what’s going on?”

“You don’t even know that? You’re going to be stupid!” Seeing these people actually look at the shocking scene from a moment ago, Zhuge Liang could not help but curse.

“This… “It’s not like we’re rangers …”

“Wan’er,” Suddenly, Sun Shangxiang turned to her and said, “Don’t play with this big pig’s hoof anymore.”

“En…” “Oh!” Although she didn’t know why Sun Shangxiang would say that, Wan’er still agreed like a joke. This made everyone even more confused.

Time quickly passed, and on the second day, Xiao Wen once again returned to the life of a diplomat.

On one side, he was exchanging benefits with the officials and generals of the Great Tang Dynasty. On the other hand, he was also beginning to sell his political ideas to the officials and dignitaries of the Great Tang Dynasty.

However, at the same time, a piece of news also came from the Great Tang Dynasty.

On the same day that the miscellaneous families of Great Tang Dynasty visited Xiao Wen, due to a conflict erupting between them during their conversation, Xiao Wen did not hesitate to pull out his sword and stab his senior.

Some Confucian scholars consider this an unfilial act. But very quickly, some of Xiao Wen’s friends, especially Songyang Academy’s Li Gang, came out to wash the floor.

He openly supported Xiao Wen in a few social occasions, claiming that Xiao Wen was only trying to pursue the truth.

In any case, what was taught by the Confucianists was actually to deal with the stepping stone of the imperial examinations. After using it, one could throw it away. In the government, unless they attacked political enemies or tried to find a reason for their actions, few officials would speak of Confucianism as a classic.

Whether or not one wanted to slander Xiao Wen, all of this depended on whether or not it was beneficial.

Hence, very quickly, the Great Tang Dynasty’s public opinion directed Xiao Wen to become a great man who would eliminate his relatives for the sake of truth, disregarding family relationships.

However, as time passed, Xiao Wen also found out about one thing — that was, the time left for him was running out.

After another week of diplomatic work, Xiao Wen was summoned by Li Shimin and entered the imperial palace.

That day, Li Shimin held a grand welcoming ceremony.

Because in these past few years, the relations between the big sized man and the other nations in the east were tense, and the big sized man’s diplomatic system was indeed not that good, thus the diplomatic work between the Great Tang Dynasty and the countries in the east was in a stagnant state.

Although through the existence of the Anxi Capital Residence, they had close ties with some small countries in the Western Region, that was only the relationship between the Subordinate Nation and the Subordinate Nation.

Those small nations simply could not enter Li Shimin’s line of sight.

In fact, for some countries that were too small in size and did not offer as much tribute, Li Shimin would not even bother to personally receive them.

However, everyone knew that the strength of the big sized man was not inferior to the Great Tang Dynasty s.

The big size man, or how generous Xiao Wen was being, even in Great Tang Dynasty, a country that was only second to Song, it was still surprising.

Hence, everyone knew that the restoration of diplomatic relations with the burly man was a major improvement in the Great Tang Dynasty’s diplomacy!

Thus, when he heard the words “Chinese ambassador, Xiao Wen,” when Xiao Wen entered the palace, he realized that the atmosphere was very grand.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong…

The disciples of the Pavilion of Ascending Mist divided into two rows: civil and martial, as they stood at the sides of the hall and watched Xiao Wen attentively.

He could feel wave after wave of kind gazes coming from Fang Xuanling, the ministers who had traded with him.

He was also aware of his vigilance, puzzlement, and puzzled– It was from Wei Zheng, who he felt was a waste of time and thought would be useless even if they made the trade.

At the same time, he also felt a wave of ice-cold malice — it was from Hou Junchen.

She, who was ranked in the Pavilion of Ascending Mist, had also participated in the ceremony to receive Xiao Wen. Xiao Wen knew very well that this fellow would definitely create trouble for him on this important day.

“Foreign minister Xiao Wen greets the son of the Great Tang Dynasty.” When the etiquette officer at the side indicated for Xiao Wen to stop, there was no need to take a step further, Xiao Wen stopped in his tracks. Looking at the Sovereign King above him, Xiao Wen slowly stretched out his hands to bow in respect.

In the Great Tang Dynasty, ministers did not need to kneel and kowtow to the emperor.

Most importantly, even if it was the Ming Kingdom s who were kneeling to the Emperor, Xiao Wen, the representative for the muscular man, would have the qualification not to kneel.

After all, humiliating Xiao Wen at this kind of occasion was simply humiliating Liu Bang.

If Liu Bang knew about this, as the target of his humiliation, if Xiao Wen did not resist with his life on the line, he would definitely be chopped to death by Liu Bang when he returned to his country.

However, at the same time, the emperor who had humiliated Xiao Wen would also enter a state where he would not rest until he was dead.

“No need for formalities.” Li Shimin did not plan to make enemies with Liu Bang, so he looked at Xiao Wen and said amiably.

In terms of cultivation, other than the Shangguan Family from Song Dynasty, there was actually no one better off than Li Shimin among the current Emperors. As a result, when he spoke, even Xiao Wen felt a burst of relaxation, as if he was bathed in spring breeze.

The letter was submitted.

Theoretically, that was Liu Bang’s personally written letter to Li Shimin. But this time, Liu Bang wanted Xiao Wen to be free to use whatever he wanted. As long as it was not about the loss of power or disgracing his country, or provoking a war between two nations, he could write it all down.

It had to be said that Liu Bang was a person who had been a ranger before.

Although he often spoke dirty words, but in terms of benefits, he was still more open to it than ordinary people.

On the contrary, if this was a time where Lv Zhi had monopolized power in history after his death, Xiao Wen probably wouldn’t have this kind of freedom.

Reading it once, it seemed like there were a lot of content, but in reality, it was not a letter of credence that was too nutritious. Li Shimin nodded his head meaningfully.

Then, he raised his head, looked at Xiao Wen who was standing under the gazes of the crowd, and suddenly asked: “Big man’s ambassador, Xiao Wen right?”

“What is His Majesty’s command?” Xiao Wen said politely.

Li Shimin looked at Xiao Budian and did not say a word.

The awkward silence paused for a while, after some thought, Li Shimin said with a ghostly body: “Big fellow’s ambassador, Xiao Wen! I would like to ask, what do you think of the current Great Tang Dynasty’s tomorrow? “
