Xu Youliang, fifty years old, was the deputy minister of the fourth-rank Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty. He was the second highest official in the Honglu Temple after Tang Jian. Because he was proficient in many languages, he was relied on by Tang Jian as his right hand. He arranged for him to be responsible for receiving envoys from various countries. After all, there were not many capable people who could proficient in many languages. It was because of this that Bai Fan got to know this person.

Originally, by virtue of the relationship between Tang Jian and Bai Fan, Xu Youliang had a relationship with Bai Fan, but he made mistakes every step. In the face of huge benefits, Xu Youliang chose to surrender.

The eldest son of the Honglu Temple, Tang Jian, never liked foreign races, so he did not personally receive foreign races. Even if he was on a mission to other countries, he would have achieved great power overseas. Such a boss led the Honglu Temple basically could not find officials close to foreign races.

But as the saying goes, there is no wall that cannot be dug, and there is only a lack of weight. In order to enter the Zhongnan Academy, Goguryeo took out two boxes of gold and two boxes of jewelry, and promised to give two boxes after the matter was completed.

Xu Youliang was dazzled and had to admit that he would never get these things in his life. He could see that they were deducted from the tributes Goguryeo gave to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. However, if it weren't for this opportunity, he could only watch it. So, at the critical moment, he was shaken!

He was smart and thought that it would not be too big for him to send someone over with the crowd. First, this foreigner was not so easy to discover, and second, Zhongnan Academy did not say that it would not accept foreigners, so even if he was rejected, he had reasons and a way out.

But when he saw Yuan Gaimao who was interrupted, Xu Youliang knew it was over. This person angered Bai Fan, the god of killing. Bai Fan was also very good at hand and eyes, so his affairs would definitely not be hidden, so it might be over next.

No, you can't sit still and wait for death! Xu Youliang thought to himself that he learned a lot from the envoys of Goguryeo. Since he had offended Bai Fan, he could only take a try. Bai Fan said that no alien race in the academy would accept it. Is this discrimination against alien races? Then he could only borrow other countries to fight against Bai Fan. As long as he refutes him on this matter, he will be safe.

In the Honglu Temple, the Western Turkic envoys were stationed here all year round. The Gaochang envoy who came to discuss cotton affairs a few days ago had not left yet, so Xu Youliang went to find them one by one.

"Do you know the Zhongnan Academy of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Of course, I heard that it was founded by Bai Fan, the Marquis of Lantian in the Tang Dynasty. There were many talents in it. Among them, Jie Li was destroyed. Among them, the students of Zhongnan Academy were awarded the merits of the students of Zhongnan Academy." The envoy of the Western Turkic nodded, and when he said this, he had a kind of worship in his eyes. The Western Turkic was suppressed by Jie Li for many years. The Tang Dynasty could destroy Jie Li, which was obviously the strongest among the strong.

"So do you know that Zhongnan Academy is recruiting students?" Xu Youliang asked.

"Of course, I heard that there must be many people who want to sign up for such an excellent study place. I heard that the Goguryeo envoy next to me sent a young man."

Finally, when he got to the point, Xu Youliang's face changed and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, when it comes to this matter, I have to remind the nobles.

Bai Fan claimed that the academy only accepts Tang people, but not any foreign race, so he beat the Goguryeo envoy to become disabled in anger!"

"Ah? Why is this happening? Even if you don't allow registration, you won't beat people. If you beat them to become disabled, isn't this marquis too cruel?" the envoy of the Western Turkic exclaimed.

"Hey! Who said no? Bai Fan is the most murderous person without blinking, but his attitude is too rude. The academy opens the door to accept apprentices, so why not accept students from other races? Do you look down on students from other countries?"

Xu Youliang deliberately bewitched, but the envoy of the Western Turkic Republic thought for a while and said, "This is normal. I have never heard of a transnational study. The academy established by the Marquis of Lantian. It seems that it is their preference for someone to accept as a student. There is nothing wrong with Goguryeo. I guess that the arrogant young master offended the noble Marquis of Lantian, whom the Tang Dynasty, after all, that is a big man."

...

Xu Youliang was speechless. Did he come in the wrong place? It was bad to look for someone? It seemed that he had found a fan of Bai Fan?

"No, you can't think so. Although the academy was established by Bai Fan, the teacher was taken away by him from the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty. Then the academy belongs to the national academy. He is a diplomatic plan for the two countries, so he cannot destroy the envoys.

Furthermore, the academy is a holy place for study. Imagine that if the prince of your country could study in the academy for a few years, then after completing his studies, would he become a great talent? Look at the vanguard army that destroyed Jie Li, they were all young academy students.

The Western Turkic culture and etiquette were all learning the Tang Dynasty. Zhongnan Academy was the first academy of the Tang Dynasty. To value the relationship between us, it would be a great thing for the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If you let the prince come here to study, it would definitely be a great thing for the diplomatic relations between the two countries. In the future, the prince's academic achievements will be successful, and he can go back and benefit the country better, right?"

After saying this, the envoys of the Western Turkic Republic were really fooled, "Yes, it's a good idea. Lord Xu is really our friend. Let's do this. I heard from my subordinates that the small country of Goguryeo gave you a few boxes of gold, and we, the Western Turkic Republic, can't be rude. We, the Western Turkic Republic, will give you five boxes of Western Regions gems, and there will be five boxes after the matter is completed.

I will send someone to discuss with the Khan, hahahaha, if we prince learns to become a great hero, that would be a great thing."

Why did the Western Turkic envoy laugh proudly and Xu Youliang didn't pay attention? At this time, he was full of confusion and turned around and asked to his confidant subordinates in a low voice: "How do they know about Goguryeo's gift of gold?"

"This is not discovered by my subordinates, but no one has mentioned this before. It is known today. It seems that it was said by the Goguryeo people.

Judging from the words of the Western Turkic envoy, I guess everyone in Honglu Temple knows it.”

...Xu Youliang felt cold, and ten thousand alpaca beasts roared by in his heart, the Goguryeo who cheated on his father and the shameless Goguryeo.

He had to finish the bitter fruit he had made with tears in his eyes, and continued to visit the envoys of Gaochang. He then sent his confidants to pass on his words to other countries around him, including the Uighurs, Khitan, Marce, Baekje, Tuyuhun, Tubo and other countries. He was so cruel that even if he was cut to death by the emperor, he would still be stabbed by them.

In the palace, Li Er asked the eunuch Lao Gao, "I heard that there is news from Zhongnan Academy?"

"Report to Your Majesty, after three days of competition, the academy finally selected seven winners, and was personally accepted by Marquis Lantian as his disciples on the spot. In addition, Wang Bowen, the young leader of the Wang clan of Taiyuan, did not win, but was also attracted by the Marquis, and was recognized by the people, allowing him to register for school."

Li Er nodded, "Well, I chose eight people in three days. The Zhongnan Academy is indeed strict. I heard that the queen has also gone? Who is she recommending?"

The brother said, "This, spy came to report that it was the little lady of the Zheng family!"

Li Er didn't seem to hear clearly, "Who? Zheng's family? Which Zheng's family?"

"Yes, it's Madam Zheng Liwan! And I heard that the competition was passed and the Marquis accepted it as a disciple."

"What?" Li Er exclaimed and stood up.
