"Sigh, I forgot about this." Zhangsun Wuji slapped his head.
Turning around, Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Er and said seriously,""Your Majesty, the Tibetan delegation will arrive in Chang 'an in five days. They have already set off.”
"The Tubo royal family has changed, and the new Zanpu Songzan Ganbu has taken office. This trip isn't as simple as meeting Your Majesty. I'm afraid that these people from the Western Regions will have some twists and turns. Your Majesty has to be on guard.”
The Western Regions had been in contact with the Central Plains ever since Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty opened up the road.
However, the benefits brought by the Western Regions were far less than the troubles they brought.
Western Liang, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Nanzhao, these Western Region forces, ever since they heard of the wealth of the Central Plains, they had always harbored wild ambitions.
This was especially true when the Great Tang had just stabilized. Some of the rebels who had been pacified were dead, some were injured, and some had run to these factions.
However, if there was a chance, he might try to make a comeback.
Thinking of this, Li Er also had a headache.
How could Li Er not know that Songzan Gambo had sent a diplomatic mission to the Tang Empire as soon as he took office?
Earlier, this scoundrel had sent a letter to the Great Tang saying that he wanted to marry a princess.
Li Er refused on the spot.
After that, there was no more news.
Not long ago, he heard that Tubo had pacified the civil strife and conquered the Qiang tribes. The territory of Tubo had expanded a lot. He had a tacit understanding of the purpose of sending the Tang envoy this time.
"We'll talk about this matter tomorrow morning. Right now, I just want to know how many people are needed to build this road.”
The topic became more and more off-topic. Li Er could not help but stare at the two of them."The palace walls and streets will be done with a few repairs. Using so much labor is simply a waste of manpower and money.”
"Duan Lun, put this matter on the agenda for tomorrow morning's court session. This path has to be fixed no matter what!”
Duan Lun quickly nodded in agreement when he heard His Majesty's firm tone.
Usually, he would not be summoned once a month. Now, he had encountered a big problem.
Duan Lun felt bitter in his heart. Those who borrowed people were all big shots under you. I didn't dare to say or ask. What should I do?
After Duan Lun left, Zhangsun Wuji observed his expression.""Your Majesty, what is so special about this Little Qin Village that Your Majesty is willing to build roads for it?”
Usually, he only needed to give a casual order for this kind of thing, and then he would do as he was told.
Moreover, the Tubo people coming to Tang was also an important matter.
Now, Zhangsun Wuji suddenly felt that the matter of repairing the road seemed to be more important?
Li Er didn't choose to hide anything from his confidant who had followed him all the way. He let out a long sigh of relief."I found the little rhinoceros."
What was that?
Zhangsun Wuji was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was pleasantly surprised."Your Majesty, have you found Princess Jin Yang? Where?"
A year ago, Li Er and Zhangsun Wugou went out and were discovered by thieves. They accidentally lost the rhinoceros, and Zhangsun Wugou cried almost every day.
Zhangsun Wuji saw that he had been searching for traces of the little rhinoceros for almost a year, but he had not found anything.
Now, with the sudden news of Si Zi, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"In the Little Qin Village, she was adopted as a younger sister by a small doctor.”
Thinking of the rhinoceros he had seen yesterday, Li Er smiled and said.
"I see."
This time, Zhangsun Wuji knew why His Majesty had just returned to the Imperial City and had not even sat down properly before looking for him to talk about the road construction.
"Then…why didn't Your Majesty bring the princess back to the Imperial City? This is a joyous occasion!”Zhangsun Wuji asked curiously.
They had already seen each other and it was not a problem to bring them back. Why did they have to go through so many twists and turns?
He still needed to build roads?
"Not for the time being. This matter is a little troublesome.”
"All in all, the rhinoceros was born with a disease. Back then, I brought Guanyin out of the palace because of this. I was anxious and careless, so I was followed by thieves and lost the rhinoceros.”
"But now, that little doctor is an extraordinary person. Back then, even the Medicine King Sun Simiao was helpless, but the little doctor has a way to treat it. This person is not ordinary!”
Recalling what happened yesterday, Li Er became more curious about Li Fei.
There was the magical medicinal powder called Yunnan Baiyao, the roast meat in the clay stove, the alcohol lamp, and the corn…
After thinking about it, Li Er realized that he had not seen any of them before!
How could this be?
Moreover, he had already tried all these things. It could be said that if he could bring each of them out of the Little Qin Village, it would be enough to cause a sensation!
While Li Er was concerned about Si Zi, he also had other thoughts.
Initially, he did not know how to approach Li Fei, but after Li Fei said that the traffic was inconvenient, Li Er immediately thought of this method.
No matter what, this path was fixed!
" I see. If that's the case, then I will support Your Majesty tomorrow and do my best to facilitate the construction of the road. Also…" Zhangsun Wuji stopped talking.
"What else?" Li Er looked at him in confusion. Just say it!"
Zhangsun Wuji had a lot of prestige among the officials.
"I also miss Princess Jin Yang very much. If Your Majesty goes to the Little Qin Village next time, can you let me accompany you?”Zhangsun Wuji said.
Accompany?
Li Er glanced at Zhangsun Wuji from the corner of his eyes and said unhappily,"You want to eat barbecue and corn, right?”
