"Your Highness, don't you see where we are? We've walked all the way here, and all around here is wasteland. If it were in Chang'an City, not even a dog would cross. How much tax revenue could a place like this generate in a year? It's already quite a feat for them to build such an imperial city. For the past ten years, they've lived in tents, and they learned that from us."
Before the Right Wise King could adjust his thoughts, Niu Jinda's voice floated over. The Right Wise King hated Niu Jinda even more. This guy couldn't even speak as well as Li You.
Eunuch Han was, after all, a member of the imperial palace, and his greatest skill was reading people's expressions. Seeing the Right Wise Prince and his men's veins throbbing, he quickly signaled to Niu Jinda with his eyes, "Can't you speak a little more quietly? We're not hard of hearing, and you're talking so loudly. What do you think the locals will think?"
"hehe……"
Niu Jinda saw the look in Eunuch Han's eyes, as well as the looks in the eyes of the Right Wise King and his men, but this guy showed no intention of restraining himself. Instead, he laughed directly in front of these people, which was obviously almost like a mockery.
"Your Highness and the generals have traveled a long way, thank you. Our Khan has prepared a banquet in the palace. Please go in first."
After arriving at the capital, the servile look on the Right Wise King's face disappeared a lot. He had been smiling all the way. Now that he was in the capital of Western Turkestan, he had to be more restrained. If he was seen by ordinary people, after Li You left, someone might laugh at him.
"etc."
Just when the people below were about to move forward, Li You caused trouble again.
When Li You said this, the Right Wise King and his men were shocked, because there were not many opportunities to say this along the way, but every time Li You said it, some strange things would happen. Now they were in the royal city of Western Turkestan.
When the previous tribe sent gifts, the Right Wise King deliberately added 30% more. At that time, he also got a chance to talk to Li You, that is, to ask Li You to be more restrained when he arrived at the royal city of Western Turkic Khaganate, so as to save the face of the royal family of Western Turkic Khaganate. If he continued to be so arrogant and domineering, it might lead to bad consequences.
At the time, this Tang prince had clearly promised not to cause trouble in the Western Turkic capital, but now, before even entering the city gates, you're saying, "Wait a minute!" What exactly do you mean? Didn't you agree to this when you accepted the money? Are you going to stop doing anything just because you've paid?
"I know what Your Highness means. I'm not someone who's hard to talk to. I can let my affairs go, but I'm representing the Tang Dynasty this time. Your people didn't even offer a welcoming ceremony at the gate. This clearly shows disrespect for our Tang Dynasty."
No one expected that Li You would actually raise this question. Niu Jinda didn't think much of it at first. After all, he was a military general and didn't consider these things so carefully. Eunuch Han was a eunuch in the harem and didn't know much about such things. But after listening to what Li You said, the two of them felt that this guy was talking about a serious matter.
The Right Wise King of Western Turkic Khaganate was not a fool. He was a person in the political arena. But if Li You came, only a prince like him could be welcomed. However, the Western Turkic Khaganate ignored this matter. They believed that the Right Wise King had already gone to the border to welcome him, which was much higher than the original etiquette, so there was no need to send special people to welcome him when he arrived in the capital.
But the real situation is not like this. The Prince of Tang has discovered this matter, and it was indeed a mistake of the Western Turks.
When the Right Wise King looked up, he found that the three most important people in the Tang Dynasty team were looking at him with cold brows. This was no longer a matter of Li You fooling around. If it was just Li You fooling around, he could still use money and beauties to make it go away, but this General Niu didn't speak often, but once he spoke, it was definitely not a trivial matter.
"The welcoming personnel are all in the Imperial City..."
"I didn't say the Imperial City. I was talking about this place."
Li You didn't give him any chance to quibble. At the same time, Li You was happy in his heart. This was a good opportunity to make a fortune. This was an obvious mistake.
"Your Majesty, you look down on our Tang Dynasty."
Niu Jinda rolled his eyes and said, "Regarding the appeal to the Tang Dynasty, it is definitely not a small matter. Didn't you people prepare before? It seems that we haven't done enough in your land!"
"General Niu, please don't be angry. I don't think this is the prince's fault. It's probably because no one in the capital of Western Turkestan knows the etiquette of our Tang Dynasty. This is the most important thing. I think we should work a little harder and set up an official school in the capital of Western Turkestan to specifically spread the etiquette of our Tang Dynasty..."
Li You is an idiot and a fool. Niu Jinda has already given him two looks just now, but all Li You thinks about is money and beauties, and he doesn't know how to work at all.
Eunuch Han didn't understand it at first, but he soon figured it out. Li You's idea was different from Li Xiang's. Li Xiang wanted us to set up various agencies in various countries. These agencies have their own tasks on the surface, but are secretly tools of infiltration.
"Ah, Chief Steward Han, you are indeed different from us rough folks. After all, you came from the palace and are with His Majesty and His Majesty every day. You consider things comprehensively. This matter must be recorded."
Niu Jinda has never looked down on the eunuchs in the palace, but now Eunuch Han is doing things for you, and if he doesn't say a few nice words, it would be a bit unreasonable. The Right Xianwang watched these two people write and perform their own show, and the veins on his head were almost popping out.
Of course he understood the importance of this matter. If you are allowed to set up an official school here, it is equivalent to allowing people from the Tang Dynasty court to come here. It may not seem like a big deal in the short term, but if we have to deal with people like you every day, how can we still live?
"I think we need to think about this matter carefully. We Western Turks have our own folk customs. If we all follow the customs of the Tang Dynasty, we Western Turks may not be able to adapt to them..."
When the Right Wise King said this, Niu Jinda unconsciously touched the handle of his sword...
