Yan Wan?

Li Hao vaguely felt that he had heard of this name somewhere.

Regardless of the two cousins ​​who were playing around, they recalled a few memories and heard from Yan Feibai when they were chatting with him in Qizhou, as if they were the daughter of Yan Lide, who was about to be the supervisor.

In Li Hao's impression, Yan Lide has always been a particularly famous painter. Later, after getting familiar with him, he realized that this painter was not an ordinary person.

Early years ago...

Well..., it was probably decades ago, and his grandfather was also an emperor, named Yuwen Yong.

As for Yan Lide himself, I heard that Li Yuan’s tomb was built by him. In addition to these, I heard that he also had two major projects, Yuhua Palace and Cuiwei Palace, which were also under construction.

The daughter of such a character... To be honest, Li Hao thinks that Li Tai is quite compatible and should have a common language between them.

Thinking of this, a decision was faintly found in his heart, and he reached out and pulled Changsun, who was pressing Li Tai under him and bullying him: "The Fourth Prince..."

"Brother-in-law." Li Tai was in a messy dress and tears were bad. He seemed to have suffered so much grievance: "Brother-in-law, you have to make the decision for me, cousin bullies me."

Li Hao glanced at Changsun Chong, who was grimacing at Li Tai with pride, turned around and said with a smile: "Fourth Prince, Changsun Chong is not a good person, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

When Li Tai heard this, he knew that Li Hao had no intention of standing up for him. He pursed his lips and said, "Brother-in-law, why did you still call me the Fourth Prince? My father has already given you a marriage to your cousin. You should call me the Fourth Brother now."

Fourth, your uncle's brother.

I thought I didn’t know what you were thinking. If I really recognized you, my fourth brother, wouldn’t I have to help you with everything in the future?

Li Hao shrugged without comment: "Fourth Prince, Your Majesty will give you a marriage, but as long as you don't get married for a day, your cousin and I are two families. How can we mess up the name? It would be better if there are no outsiders today. If there are outsiders in the future, it would be bad for your cousin's reputation to spread it."

"Okay." Li Tai's little thoughts failed. He nodded depressedly, and then said, "Then...Master Li, what you promised me before..."

Li Hao was confused: "What did I promise you?"

"It's just to do something for me to do in the Education and Reform Department. You clearly agreed just now." Li Tai blinked his eyes and looked at Li Hao with grievance, which was like I would cry if you didn't nod.

Oh, this little brat has threatened me, and I don’t know who I learned about playing rogues.

Staring at the little brat Li Tai, Li Hao's face turned cold: "Shut up, don't cry, otherwise I'll be careful of you."

Li Tai indeed closed his mouth, and his tearful little eyes looked at Li Hao: "Then, sister... Li Hou, have you promised me?"

Li Hao looked so embarrassed: "Well, I agreed. But I'm all for your cousin's sake. Don't think that you can really threaten me."

"Yeah, I know, thank you brother-in-law." Li Tai turned sadness into joy, and in the blink of an eye he became alive again, carrying a pose to the main position, and there was no way he was just a little bitch.

The more Li Hao thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Why did he look at that fat man and why he didn't like him?

I wonder when he was a third-rank Hou, he had been threatened by someone, or he would have been rolling around by tantrums.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became. I shouted to Li Tai’s back, "Don’t worry, the Fourth Master, keep your affairs with Yan Wan on me, and I will go to Yan Lide’s mansion to tell you about my dear tomorrow."

Although Changsun Chong's mouth was a little bigger before, he spoke less, so he could only hear it for a few people around him.

But Li Hao shouted in front of a group of people, leaving no room for anything, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on Li Tai.

Li Tai, who was so proud for a moment, turned around in shock, and his expression was even worse than eating a baba.

It's over, and the news has been completely leaked.

What to do? What if the father and mother find out? I won’t be beaten to death when I return to the palace at night, right?

Li Tai was so despaired that his young heart was ruthlessly trampled on, and the psychological shadow area directly developed into an endless positive direction.

Xiaowan, I'm sorry for you.

Li Dejian, you are so big-mouthed, and you say it well, but you don’t recognize others when you turn around. I still trust you so much.

Everyone present was basically a human being. After a moment of quietness, the noisy sound rang again. Based on the principle of not mixing up and eating melons, the noisy sound was even better than before.

However, it is unknown what these people are thinking and whether there are any people who gossip in their minds.

Li Hao, who was lost, finally left and was about to return to the palace to face the storm or fried pork with bamboo strips.

Li Hao followed Li Tai after Li Tai left for a short time.

It is rare that the little fat man would like someone, and he was even willing to bow his head toward him, an outsider. For his sincerity, Yan Wan must make arrangements for him.

With Li Tai and Li Hao leaving, the rest of the people were even more relaxed, disrupting the original sitting times. You have me and I have you.

Fu Shun even brought the pot directly to Changsun Chong, pouring wine for him personally, and said, "Mr. Master, I am well-known to Master. I see you today. I am lucky to see you for three lives."

After Fu Yun and his son came to the capital to apologize, Li Er not only did not make things difficult for them, but also gave Fu Yun the title of Duke Xiping, and at the same time pardoned Fu Shun as the lord of Tuyuhun, and recognized Tuyuhun as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty.

However, everyone understands that Fushun's position as the king was exchanged for his freedom in the second half of his life, and from now on, Tuyuhun will never have the glory of the past.

As one of the top playboys in Chang'an City, Changsun Chong, although he knew the tricks, would not expose the matter in front of Fu Shun, nor would he feel embarrassed. He stood up and held the wine cup and smiled: "Why should the lord be so humble? Changsun Chong's name is not worth mentioning, which makes the lord laugh."

"The young master said this, but Shun was ashamed of being embarrassed. Shun grew up in Tuyuhun as soon as he was born. He envied the outside world since he was a child and admired the heroes of the Tang Dynasty. When he learned that the young master had been expeditioning across the sea and fought against Baekje, Silla Panfan did not dare to go into the sea, and he yearned for it even more."

Fu Shun's words just scratched the itchy part of Changsun Chong. He laughed so much that he raised his glass to touch Fu Shun, and said in a fake way: "The king has been too much, and there are also the contributions of De Jian, Chumo and others across the sea. I dare not take full advantage."

"Young Master is too humble!" Fu Shun said politely, and followed the situation and clashed with Changsun for a moment: "Drinking Win!"

"Drinking!"

After a glass of wine, the smell of alcohol surged. Changsun Chong put down the glass and pulled Fushun to sit at the table: "Master, sit first, wait and tell you a few good brothers to know each other, and we will be ministers in the hall in the future, so we can take care of you."

Fu Shun had intended to make friends with these playboys from the Tang Dynasty, so Changsun Chong's proposal hit his mind and smiled and said, "That's right, thank you little master!"

On the surface, even if Fu Shun is young and even if he is cowardly, he is still the king of Tuyuhun. It shouldn't be so humble.

But in fact, whether it was him Fushun or other princes from various countries from the Western Regions, they seemed quite low-key now.

Especially Ju Zhisheng from Gaochang Country, he went on stage to perform a dance.

As a prince of a country, he dances to some second-generation officials from other countries. If it is spread, this person will probably be thrown into his grandma's house.

But what if it doesn't?

Following Cheng Yaojin's Right Martial Guard, these people are obvious to all.

Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Yutian, Guizi... These countries that came to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute all belong to the top powers in the Western Regions.

I usually brag and dare to shout, "I want money and people to be rich."

But on the way to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty competed... To be honest, their little money and people were not even worthless.

If there are rich people, the Emperor in Tai Chi Palace is truly rich and powerful.

Don't believe it?

If you don’t believe it, just compare.

In their own country, except for the most elite King's Guards, which have full iron weapons and a full set of leather armor, the weapons used by other ordinary troops can be described as pitiful.

Most of the so-called knives are stones. For the so-called gun, at most, the gun is basically a sharper stone tied to the wood.

As for armor and other things..., it’s good to have a piece of clothing on the battlefield, and you still want armor?

What are you thinking?

And this is based on the fact that the number of troops in their own country is only tens of thousands, if it is tens of thousands...

Sorry, there is no possibility of more than ten thousand.

First of all, the population base is not enough, and secondly... I really can't afford to support so many soldiers.

Turn around and look at the Tang Dynasty.

There are eighty or ninety thousand people in the Right Martial Guard alone, of which about 50,000 soldiers are and as many as 30,000 auxiliary troops.

Not to mention that there are fifteen such troops, and the number of soldiers alone reaches 600,000.

If we include the border troops and the prefectures, the number of regular soldiers in the Tang Dynasty is close to two million.

Two million permanent troops, is there so many populations in the entire Western Region?

Excluding the number of soldiers, let’s talk about equipment.

The Tang army, even the most ordinary auxiliary soldiers, that is, ordinary farmers with strong strength, have their own paper armor.

Well..., although paper armor does not play any real protective role in fighting, do auxiliary soldiers really need to fight?

Apart from those auxiliary soldiers, the most ordinary soldiers in the Sixteen Guards were wearing leather armor or bamboo armor, and their weapons were even more diverse, with only those that were not intact, but not those that were not incompatible.

The battle knife is equipped with two, one horizontal knife and one barrier knife, made of all steel, without adulteration.

What's more, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty burned the bag until he had a scabbard for each knife.

You said that this knife was originally used for killing people, and you can use it with a sheath to make it a hair, and you have to try to pull it out during war. Isn’t this just a waste of time? Is it good to have that time to cut two people?

The kings of the Western Regions who had observed all the way thought about it and thought about it, but they could not understand why.

It was not until we entered Chang'an that everyone came to a unified conclusion, that is, the Tang Dynasty had money, but the Tang Dynasty emperors were not short of money.

It is definitely impossible to compare. People can die if they compare themselves, and goods can be thrown away.

As the saying goes, people respect some, and dogs bite ugly. When the countries in the Western Regions see this situation, they immediately find their position.

I bowed my head, I admit defeat, I am willing to be my younger brother, beg for the elder brother... No, beg for the elder brother.

So, there was a banquet tonight. The minds of the countries from all over the Western Regions praised them and accompanied these playboys from Chang'an in a happy mood. They kept saying that if they had any requests, the old man had nothing else, they were rich.

The sky is dim and the sun rises.
