Chapter 1285: Barbarians Enter Beijing!

Chapter 1285

"Song is too worried."

Li Junxian waved his hand, the cloud was calm and the wind was light, while walking forward:

"Strategy has conspiracy and conspiracy. "Conspiracy" is easy to hide, but "yang conspiracy" is difficult to prevent. This time, we are open and aboveboard, and we have not used any means. No matter how smart and resourceful the foreign king is, it is the same There is no way. And this time everyone is watching, as long as he dares to move, he will fall behind. What he has to fight now is not only us, but also all the people in the capital, and even the hearts of the people in the world."

"The Tang Dynasty has fought for so many years, either in the north or in the south. It has almost never stopped. The people have begun to tire of war, and people feel at ease. No one likes war. Everyone yearns for peace. This is the general trend. And we just make it clear It was displayed before him. It was not a ruse!—it was a fact!"

Li Junxian raised his head, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through the endless depths.

Everyone listened silently, with expressions of conviction in their eyes. The young master's martial arts, strategy and wisdom are recognized by the entire Confucian school as the most outstanding, and no one dares to doubt his arrangement.

"However, there are many nights and dreams. The King of Foreign Lands is always an opponent that cannot be underestimated. Mr. Song and Junior Sister, please change your schedule and speed up your plan."

Li Junxian said in a deep voice.

"Yes, son!"

Elder Song and the girl in white bowed at the same time, both of them had a smile in their eyes.

After a while, everything was discussed, and everyone in the room retreated, leaving only Li Junxian.

"Foreign King, swords are easy to block but people's hearts are hard to defend. It depends on how you deal with it."

Li Junxian raised his head and muttered to himself.

...

When the discussion of the war's devastating damage to the economy and the people's living standards intensified in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Annan, Anton, Anxi, Beiting, and the border areas of the Tang Dynasty all suggested increasing the number of treaty ports and retreating the army by two hundred miles. All have been implemented. More and more Hu people have entered the mainland market from treaty ports.

Speaking the half-baked Datang language, more and more Hu people came to Datang to buy and sell things. And Li Junxian even directly led the court to pass a resolution that all Hu people who are proficient in Tang language and can use Tang language when buying goods can all enjoy a 12% price discount.

And all the benefits are subsidized by the imperial court.

Everything was carried out in silence, and half a month later, a piece of news shocked Datang:

After discussions between Zhongshu Province and the Six Ministries, the imperial court decided to invite a group of Turkic people, Mengshezhao people, Goguryeo people, and Usi Tibetans who admired the Tang culture and were learning Tang language to visit the capital, and the imperial court provided subsidies. Let them feel the customs of Datang.

At the same time, it is also used to enhance ordinary people's understanding of the Hu people, deepen mutual understanding, eliminate misunderstandings, and promote peaceful and friendly exchanges between the two countries.

And when the appointed time came, the entire capital was empty.

"Son, hurry up, Dad will take you to see the barbarians!"

In the capital, early in the morning, a father and his son were excitedly heading towards the city gate. Although the capital is the political and commercial center of the Tang Dynasty, there are also many Hu merchants, but this time it is different. Just an ordinary barbarian.

Like ordinary Tang people, they had flesh and blood and lived a very ordinary life. They were not the vicious and slaughtering Hu warriors that everyone imagined. And according to the imperial court, there are quite a few Huren girls, old people and children inside, which are hard to see in the capital.

All the way through the streets and alleys, when the father and son arrived at the gate of the west city, there was already a sea of ​​people. There were countless people like them who rushed over. Everyone's face was full of enthusiasm, excitedly waiting for something.

"boom!"

While waiting, I only heard a loud noise in front of me. Accompanied by the sound of rattling metal, the city gate burst open, and bursts of cheers came from the front:

"I'm coming!"

"Look, everyone, there are really a lot of fools!"

The crowd was in turmoil, and in just a moment, under the escort of the officers and soldiers, figures rode camels and herding horses, and came quickly towards the city.

"Son, look!"

The father held his son in his hands, and immediately looked forward excitedly. I saw thousands of barbarians lined up neatly, coming towards the city gate. The father and son opened their eyes, and the first thing they noticed was the wrinkled old man in front of them. Unlike the ferocious barbarians they imagined, wearing armor, wielding swords, and killing everywhere, this is an ordinary old man.

He was wearing rough linen clothes, his palms were as thin as sticks, and his strength was similar to that of an ordinary Han old man. Behind him were two young Hu people. Although they were Hu people, they were dressed in Han clothes, and they looked polite, not as rude as they imagined.

And later, the father and son saw two barbarian girls with flowers in their hair. They were looking around excitedly with flushed faces. These two had obviously never been to the capital of the Tang Dynasty. , and have never seen such a prosperous and prosperous city, everything gave them a sense of novelty and an unprecedented impact.

"Zai Ali, look, what a beautiful house, it's really beautiful here!"

But at this moment, the girl on the horseback didn't notice that anyone was paying attention to her at all. She looked at a restaurant not far away with carved beams and painted buildings and cornices and brackets, and stared at the raised corner of the glazed roof. Full of excitement. Everything in front of her was more magnificent than she had imagined, even more magnificent than what she had heard from the teacher in school.

Row upon row of buildings, wine flags waving in the wind, crowds of people on the streets, all kinds of gorgeous and exquisite silk, clothes and shoes, everything is completely different from what they saw on the prairie different.

"It's so beautiful! It's almost like a dream."

Zai Ali beside her was even more shocking than this girl.

Swish!

While the two were still talking, there was no one in the back, and a young barbarian suddenly slipped off his horse, left the team, and rushed to a shop on the street that bought meat buns in two or three steps.

This sudden move surprised the officers and soldiers in charge of maintaining order, and it was too late to stop it. The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop was even more taken aback, his face turned pale.

"No, no, don't come here!"

The store owner's eyes were full of fear.

"Bao, how much is a bun?"

The young Hu man spoke shyly in a jerky Tang dialect. While speaking, he took out a few copper coins from his bosom and handed them over.

! ! !

The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop was startled, opened his mouth wide, and took a while to react.

"I'm a guest from afar, I only charge you one penny, one penny is enough."

While talking, the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop handed over two steaming, big and round meat buns.

"thanks, thanks!"

The barbarian boy took two steaming big meat buns, took a big bite, thanked him, and burst into tears with excitement.

"Yes, I have eaten the meat buns that the teacher said!"

The boy raised his arms high and shouted at his companions behind him.

boom!

Behind him, seeing the young man's "feat", a barbarian burst into cheers, and on both sides of the street, all the people in the capital who witnessed this scene, after the initial astonishment, also shouted excitedly, Everyone is excited.

Hu people!

It is not the rich Hu merchants in the capital, but the ordinary Hu people on the grassland. For the first time, the people in the capital discovered that the ordinary Hu people were just like them, and they also had gray temples. , the white-haired old man, and the youthful, beautiful and charming girl who is full of curiosity about everything.

Their teens will also have a shy, kind, restless side.

There is no difference between everyone and the people of Middle-earth, which is completely different from what everyone imagined.

boom!

Realizing this, the crowd cheered even louder, and even the officers and soldiers who maintained order felt this, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths. The Hu people and the Tang people, after a long war and constant fighting, finally ushered in a precious period of peace between each other.

Without the strangeness and estrangement, the people on both sides really saw the real side of each other for the first time.

"Hahaha, look, son! Hu people have nothing to be afraid of! Isn't there?"

On the edge of the crowd, the father holding his son high also felt the joy and harmony, and said excitedly.

Under the escort of the officers and soldiers, amidst the cheers of the crowd, thousands of Hu people passed through the city gate, and gradually headed for the post house arranged for them in the depths of the capital.

But at this moment, not many people noticed that in a restaurant by the street, a pair of eyes were slowly withdrawing their gazes, with a trace of worry faintly showing on their faces.

"My lord, if this goes on like this, the folks will probably misjudge! They think that these kind and simple barbarians are all barbarians. They think that the news on the border is all made up by our soldiers and forged for the sake of credit! Confucianism These people are misleading the people!"

Su Shixuan stood by the window with a worried face.

Before the activity announced by the court started, he accompanied his prince to arrive here. Although everything in front of him made people feel relaxed and harmonious, and those barbarian old men and children didn't seem to be threatening, but Su Shixuan couldn't be happy in his heart. It's easy to see only one side and forget the other.

That's right!

Kindness, shyness, and innocence are all barbarians, but those who are fierce, cruel, and aggressive are also barbarians! That old man with two temples, the war horses he raised are like clouds and seas, all over the grasslands, and can become the mount of a "executioner". Those youthful girls can dry meat, drive cattle and sheep, and provide logistics for the army. As for those shy teenagers...
