Inside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Li Jiancheng sat on a chair and waited calmly. The appointed time has passed, but there is no shadow of Hu Xuelan and Hu Xueting. He smiled wryly in his heart, for the sake of the overall situation, he had to endure.
A few followers stood behind him, not so calm. From time to time, he walked around anxiously, gnashing his teeth and staring at the officials of the Ministry of Rites. "You ignored the important affairs of the country!" Several of Li Jiancheng's subordinates cursed in a low voice, and then winked at each other. They couldn't take it anymore and had to leave.
"Young master, I" a follower whispered, wanting to leave.
"Be patient, it's only an hour." Li Jiancheng turned his head and looked at his followers with reproach, "Although I am the son of the prefect, I am still a seventh-rank official. When I work in the Ministry of Rites, I must abide by the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Rites. You can't take advantage of your power to bully others." At this time, you must never leave, let alone get restless and lose your momentum.
Several attendants nodded vigorously, their faces were ashamed, and they were sweating profusely.
Several officials of the Ministry of Rites were extremely calm. They had seen many people who deliberately showed their family background by talking to their subordinates, and they didn't bother to pay attention.
"It really has a background. The Master Shangshu has already come out to greet you. How can you sit here?" The officials of the Ministry of Rites have very simple criteria for judging whether they need to flatter. Know whether those officials are celebrities or backups who are about to sit on the bench for the rest of their lives.
Minister of the Ministry of Rites came out from inside, found an official to explain something, and turned around to go back to the inner hall.
"Shang Shu," Li Jiancheng stood up and said, "the important event of welcoming the East Turkic envoys must not be delayed." There are so many things going on, so start talking early and set the rules for easy operation, otherwise the day lily will be cold.
The Minister of Rites looked at Li Jiancheng's still bruised face strangely, and asked, "Talk? What are you talking about?"
Li Jiancheng's voice was calm but full of strength: "It's an important matter for the court." If you dare to ignore the matter of welcoming the East Turks, I will immediately report it to Yang Guang.
Minister of the Ministry of Rites smiled: "The princess is not here, what is there to talk about with you? The princess is the envoy, and you are the deputy envoy. I have talked with you, can you make a decision? It is a waste of time to talk."
Li Jiancheng smiled peacefully: "The Shang Shu is right."
The Minister of Rites gave him a high look, and did not blurt out "talk to a 6-year-old princess". outstanding talent.
"Oh, princess, why are you here?" An official from the Ministry of Rituals near the door suddenly stood up, and said to the people outside the door in surprise.
"The princess is here?" Another official from the Ministry of Rituals hurriedly stood up and greeted with a smile.
Li Jiancheng turned around and saw Hu Xueting walking in slowly with Xiao Xuelan in his hand, greeting him casually as if he was with a group of old friends, and then asked: "Is the Shang Shu there? I have something to look for him."
"I've been waiting for you all the time." A Ministry of Rites official said with a smile, pointing inside. The Minister of Rites is Yang Shu's direct descendant. I don't know how many people in the Ministry of Rites have met Hu Xueting in Situ's Mansion, and they are very familiar with each other.
"Yuanwailang is finally here." One of Li Jiancheng's subordinates said coldly, and everyone could hear the complaint in his tone. "My son has been waiting for a long time."
Hu Xueting turned pale with shock: "You just came back from Mars? Isn't it right for subordinates to wait for superiors? Don't you want superiors to wait for subordinates? Your son thinks that he can be selected if his face is swollen, so he can be shameless?"
A group of officials from the Ministry of Rituals laughed out loud, and people who were not qualified to be selected were actually selected.
"You!" Li Jiancheng's subordinates scolded angrily, and took a step forward. Several household officials sneered, did they want to start a fight with Hu Xueting?
"Don't be presumptuous." Li Jiancheng stopped his subordinates, his smile did not change at all, and he was still peaceful, "Princess, Yuanwailang, we put business first."
Hu Xueting looked at Hu Xuelan, he couldn't hit someone in front of children, but if Hu didn't do anything, he would still take revenge.
"Come on, close the door!" she snapped. The servants of the household department immediately closed the gate of the yamen, fastened the latch, and leaned their backs against the gate, as if no one wanted to leave.
Li Jiancheng frowned: "Yuanwailang, if you have something to say, why bother to be rough?" The entourage hurriedly stood in front of Li Jiancheng.
Hu Xueting sneered and stared coldly at Li Jiancheng's subordinates.
The two sides confronted each other, tit for tat, but they didn't act immediately, they just looked at each other stupidly.
A group of household officials were shocked, this is not in line with Hu Xueting's habits.
After a while, ?He greeted with a loud voice: "I am with the soldiers, come and drink ginger soup to warm your body!"
More than a hundred soldiers who searched in the rain entered the restaurant without hesitation to drink ginger soup. The soldiers escorting the East Turkic envoy all the way were slightly taken aback, and the officials nodded and rushed into the restaurant.
A bowl of warm ginger soup fell into my stomach, and most of the cold in my body disappeared immediately.
"Deputy Envoy Li, I will leave the task of welcoming guests to you." Hu Xueting said leisurely, sitting behind the desk leisurely, continuing to eat melons and fruits.
Li Jiancheng looked at her calmly, only to feel that everything today was full of deep meaning.
"You take care of yourself." Hu Xueting said again, "It's rare for me to be merciful."
Li Jiancheng kept his face calm, but his heart was rolling like waves. "Did she know something?"
The palace.
Yang Guang sat quietly.
A certain official reported everything that happened in the long street, and there was no deviation in a word.
Empress Xiao looked at Yang Xuan, fearing that Yang Xuan would be slapped in the face because of Li Jiancheng, she would be furious, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I think Hu Xueting's words are somewhat reasonable, why does this dynasty want to humiliate the enemy for the sake of the enemy's face?" Your own generals?"
Waiting for the envoy of the enemy country in the rain, it sounds like perseverance, but behind this tragic scene, there is a dog kneeling and licking the envoy of the Eastern Turks.
Yang Guang looked at Empress Xiao strangely.
"This act of completion is indeed a little too much, no wonder Hu Xueting." Empress Xiao went further.
Yang Shu, Gao Ying and other bosses looked at Empress Xiao, and finally determined the reason for Empress Xiao's recent series of strange behaviors.
"You know." Yang Huan sighed.
Empress Xiao nodded slowly: "Yes, I understand."
"I wanted to hide it from you for the rest of my life." Yang Xuan looked at Empress Xiao with some regret.
Empress Xiao held Yang Guang's hand: "I am the empress of Da Sui."
Yang Shu, Gao Ying and the others glanced at each other before slowly exiting the palace. Outside the hall, it was still pouring rain.
"Why, Li Jiancheng dared to openly show his favor to the Eastern Turks?" He Ruobi suddenly said, Li Jiancheng can naturally explain his behavior with countless Confucian principles, such as respect for allies, such as the way of etiquette, but the bosses only look at the essence , Don't look at the mouth. Li Jiancheng must have plotted to openly show his favor to East Turkic in such a hurry.
"If Hu Xueting hadn't torn off his mask, tell me, how many people would praise Li Jiancheng for his tenacity, courage, and knowledge?" Gao Ying smiled wryly. Li Jiancheng's goal is really simple, which is to become famous. However, if it weren't for Hu Xueting's quick action, these big bosses could only watch Li Jiancheng become famous all over the world, and they wouldn't even be able to say a serious word.
"I just want to know why Hu Xueting identified Li Jiancheng." Yang Shu was very strange. There was no shred of evidence pointing to the Li family in Taiyuan. It's ridiculous, so don't worry about others framing it?
"The old man almost thought it was done by some unfilial sons." Yu Wenshu also said that there are really a lot of powerful people who have contacts with East Turks, and the Li family in Taiyuan is the oldest.
"It's just that His Majesty thinks so too." Yu Shiji said with a smile, not wanting to laugh at all.
Several big bosses nodded, and they could also see that Yang Huan's attitude towards Li Jiancheng was extremely weird, conniving, defensive, helpless and resigned to fate.
