It has been almost two months since the Tang Dynasty moved the Tubo Kingdom to destroy it, and the envoys from various countries have gradually come to Chang'an. The city of Chang'an, which was originally peaceful in the hot summer, became lively by chance.

The first envoys to arrive in Chang'an two days ago were the Uighurs from the north. They rushed south from the northern grasslands, and were the fastest ones.

On this day, Tang Jian, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, suddenly came to the door and asked Du Shaoqing to go to the Honglu Temple to handle official affairs. What was Du Shaoqing's thought about? He was just an idle person, so how could he have diplomacy? Could it be that there were too many foreign envoys and the Honglu Temple was not enough staff?

In the living room, Tang Jian said anxiously: "I know that the prince consort is a busy man. If it weren't for the urgent situation, I wouldn't have bothered me. I'm afraid you must take action this time."

Du Shaoqing smiled: "The Duke of Ju State is so serious. I heard that the envoys this time came to congratulate the Tang Dynasty for the destruction of Tubo, and they were not here to cause trouble. How could there be any urgent situation?"

Tang Jian was mature and steadfast, but he was not as calm as Du Shaoqing's chatter and laughing, and said in a deep voice: "This morning, the Western Turkic envoys arrived in Chang'an. Their luggage and supplies were hundreds of cars, belonging to the largest of the many envoys. Most of the goods were all hung with colors."

Hum? Hanging the color? Du Shaoqing raised his eyebrows and came to the Tang Dynasty for more than a year. Naturally, he knew what this meant. Items with color are betrothal gifts.

"Director Tang said that the Western Turks came to marry? And they were asking for a marriage to the princess of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, as usual, the two countries will inform the diplomatic envoys in advance, but this time, the countries seemed to have made a private agreement, and they came at the same time, and did not know the meeting.

If the Western Turks really come to propose marriage, they will submit the letter of the country to His Majesty in the next two days." Tang Jian explained.

Then, before Du Shaoqing could speak, the old minister said indignantly: "To be honest, I have never advocated marrying a princess with my relatives, but there were a large group of corrupt scholars in the court who were timid and afraid of things, saying that the two countries have been harmonious and friendly since ancient times, and sometimes His Majesty is very limited.

I believe that after the last incident in Tubo, the prince-consort should have a deep understanding of this kind of thing."

Nodding, Du Shaoqing mocked: "For peace with women, it is a way to seek prosperity when the country is weak. Now that the Tang Dynasty has strong national strength, isn't it a fool to marry and marry a marriage?"

"It's precisely this. Unfortunately, the minister of the Honglu Temple cannot stop these people who are seeking marriage. Therefore, I urgently seek the prince-consort for help. If I want to stop them from marrying each other, the best way is to hold down these people before they submit the letter of state."

Tang Jian had already made it clear, and Du Shaoqing couldn't help but cover his mouth and laughed: "Duke Ju wants to pretend to be a villain again? I wonder how the Western Turkic national strength is? Can you scare them?"

When Du Shaoqing said so bluntly, Tang Jian's old face turned red and then laughed, "I know that the prince-consort is not a constrained person, so I said it bluntly.

The Western Turks were a major northern country that could compete with the Eastern Turks back then. The military combat power was slightly stronger than that of Tubo, and the highest among the countries around them today. However, the Tang Dynasty and the power of destroying the country were not afraid to be contemptuous, and the prince-consort did not have to worry about it.

But there is one thing to be said before. This matter was Tang who secretly decided to find the prince-consort and had not reported it to His Majesty yet."

"It's okay. As the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, he is in charge of his duties and should contribute to the country. If Your Majesty asks me, I will take on everything. If our Tang men can't even protect their own daughters, what's the use of us?" Du Shaoqing stood up and said loudly.

Tang Jian smiled and patted Du Shaoqing on the shoulder and said, "I am not here to shirk responsibility. Your Majesty and other old ministers in the court, I, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, are responsible. You only need peace of mind to refuse the people from the Western Turks. What kind of support do you need? Just come."

The two made a plan at the Du family. Du Shaoqing then took Xue Rengui with Tang Jian to Honglu Temple and changed into formal clothes. Xue Rengui also became a guard of a soldier.

Then Tang Jian brought the two to the bed of the Western Turkic envoys. It is worth mentioning that Du Shaoqing was dressed in a civil servant but was not apt to be a top-notch horizontal sword, which was given by his father-in-law Li Er. At that time, he was commended for his military achievements in fighting Goguryeo on Hebei Road.

The envoy of the Western Turks was the close minister of Khan Yibidulu. The Western Turks encountered civil strife and split in the eighth year of Zhenguan. The Western Turks only truly unified the Western Turks last year, and the situation was not stable. So they wanted to take this opportunity to show kindness to the Tang Dynasty and get support from this great power, so they sent a confidant civil servant named Chumi.

Chumi was very concerned about it. He wanted to enter the city early and then submit a letter of state to the Tang Dynasty to ask the emperor to talk about the marriage proposal. Unexpectedly, after settling down, he could not find the head of the Honglu Temple, so he had to wait.

To his surprise, Tang Jian, the head of the Honglu Temple, actually came to the door on his own initiative, so he smiled secretly and welcomed Tang Jian, Du Shaoqing and others in.

"The envoy, this is Du Shaoqing, my young minister of the Honglu Temple. He is my first son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty and a hero in front of His Majesty." Tang Jian introduced.

When Chumi heard that he was still a royal relative, he did not dare to neglect him, so he quickly greeted him again. Du Shaoqing thought to himself, this grassland man is not arrogant at all, he is quite humble.

"I don't know what the envoy is doing to come to our Tang Dynasty this time? Let me know today so I can go and reply to Your Majesty." Tang Jian asked.

The envoy waved his hand and told someone to bring the letter of the country and delivered it to Tang Jian: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty won the great victory in the battle of Tubo, and our lord ordered us to bring gifts to congratulate the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, our lord has newly ascended the throne, and now the queen is still lacking, so there is another thing, that is, I want to come here and ask the Tang Dynasty to grant a princess to be the queen of our country. Only the noble Tang Dynasty princess is qualified to be our queen, and we have brought all the betrothal gifts."

Tang Jian was about to reach out to receive the letter of the country. At this time, Du Shaoqing, who was sitting next to him, frowned and interrupted: "What is this for me? I didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again?"

Du Shaoqing closed his eyes slightly, his face was full of disdain, and he also used his little finger to clean his ears, which was very different from his previous humility. Those who didn't know thought that this was not a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty, but a playboy in Chang'an.

The Western Turkic envoy was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Jian with some confusion. Tang Jian's hand that received the letter of the country froze in the air. He looked back at Du Shaoqing, then hurriedly withdrew his hand and looked at the Western Turkic envoy with a embarrassed look.

The envoy of the Secretariat said in confusion: "Maybe the subordinates did not make it clear. We are here to congratulate the Tang Dynasty on the great victory of the destruction of the country. In addition, we also want to marry a noble princess to be the queen."
