Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"If...if this prince dies in the Tang Dynasty, the Turks will definitely fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty!"

Qin Wenyuan seemed to be interested after hearing this.

He looked at Fang Xuanling with sparkling eyes and said with a smile, "Good idea."

Fang Xuanling: "..."

"!!!"

"What a great idea!"

Fang Xuanling was so frightened by Qin Wenyuan's words that he stood up. He said, "Qin Wenyuan, you must hold on. The Tang Dynasty needs to conserve its energy and strength right now. There is no time to start a war. You must stay calm."

He was really scared!
When he thought about how the head of the Lu family was plotted to death by Qin Wenyuan in the past, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

The Turkic Khan has only this one son. Unlike the Lu family, if he is plotted against to death, he will definitely fight to the death.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Master Fang, do you think I, Qin, am such an impulsive person? I never do anything without planning it thoroughly."

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, Qin Wenyuan had never done anything impulsive.

"so."

Qin Wenyuan said: "I will frame other countries and make the Turks regard other countries as enemies. I, the Tang Dynasty, will just sit back and watch the fight."

Fang Xuanling: "!!!"

His eyes widened and he said in a lost voice: "Are you really going to mess with the Turkic prince?"

Qin Wenyuan tapped the wine glass lightly with his fingers, listening to the crisp sound it made, and said calmly: "The Turks and the Tang Dynasty will have a decisive battle sooner or later. The Turkic prince is quite capable. If we let him go, the Tang soldiers will definitely risk their lives to get him back in the future."

"so……"

Qin Wenyuan raised his eyes and looked at Fang Xuanling: "Master Fang, do you think I should let him go back?"

Fang Xuanling was silent.

He looked outside again and saw that each of the Turkic soldiers was very burly. They were carrying big swords and looked fierce.

He took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and said, "Are you really not going to let the Turks fight the Tang Dynasty at the first opportunity? The Tang Dynasty really can't withstand the consumption on the battlefield."

Qin Wenyuan smiled lightly: "Master Fang, do you think that with my ability, I can come up with a conspiracy that will be discovered by the stupid Turks?"

Fang Xuanling heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Yup!

He knew Qin Wenyuan's abilities very well.

If Qin Wenyuan designed a conspiracy and wanted to frame someone, it would not be very easy.

Not to mention the Turks, perhaps even those in the Tang Dynasty, except for those who knew the inside story, would not doubt Qin Wenyuan.

After all, as terrible as Qin Wenyuan is at solving cases, just as terrifying is his ability to commit crimes!
Ability is always positively correlated.

He lowered his voice and said, "If you need my help, just tell me."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Master Fang, don't think too much. Just do what you need to do."

"With so many nations coming to pay tribute, there are so many chess pieces available, why should I bother you?"

Qin Wenyuan's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes sparkled, and he smiled meaningfully: "Chang'an has now become a big chessboard, and all the envoys who come to Chang'an are chess pieces on the chessboard."

"So, Lord Fang, please stand aside and watch carefully how I play this game of chess."

Fang Xuanling listened to Qin Wenyuan's words and looked at his confident look, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

Using the world as a chessboard and various countries as chess pieces, how arrogant and presumptuous is this!
If someone else said this, Fang Xuanling would definitely sneer at him.

After all, this was something even he didn't dare to think about.

He was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the head of the six ministries. He was highly regarded by the emperor. Looking at the world, who would not respectfully call himself Lord Fang in his life?

But even if I am like this, I don't dare to think about using other countries as pawns!

So apart from Li Shimin, anyone who dared to say such things so arrogantly in front of him would be slapped away by him.

Li Shimin, as the king of a country, seemed to be in a glorious position, but in fact, many invisible things weighed on him, so it was impossible for him to say such words.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling would never hear such words. Even if he heard them, he would only laugh and sneer at them, saying that they were sitting in a well and looking at the world from a narrow perspective, arrogant and ignorant!

But now, he happened to hear such words, and the person who spoke was a young man who was less than 20 years old... and he didn't think there was anything wrong.

It seemed that he felt that these words should have been said by Qin Wenyuan!
Only Qin Wenyuan could make Fang Xuanling feel that these were not arrogant and presumptuous words, but words that were bound to happen!

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and said, "Qin Wenyuan, you really keep refreshing my cognition and make me constantly refresh my bottom line."

Qin Wenyuan just smiled lightly when he heard this.

He shook his wine glass and did not think his words were so shocking. After all... this game of chess was only played in Chang'an, using the envoys of various countries as chess pieces.

This is far from the world flag that Beichen invited him to truly use various countries and countless lives as chess pieces.

For now, this is just a practice game.

Fang Xuanling was even more moved when he saw Qin Wenyuan so calm and composed, and not taking it seriously at all.

He looked outside and saw a new group of envoys passing by.

There were many envoys coming from all nations this time, and it seemed that the envoys from these countries had made an appointment and were almost all concentrated in these few days.

Therefore, not long after, an envoy from a country arrived.

Looking at the newly arrived envoy team, it was not smaller than the Turkic team that just passed by, but seemed more imposing.

Fang Xuanling glanced at the flag and was a little surprised: "Daqin? The Daqin Kingdom is here too?"

Da Shi, this was its name during the Tang Dynasty. In later historical books, it has a more famous name - the Arab Empire!
A superpower spanning the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa!

During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the only two empires that could compete with the Tang Dynasty were the Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire.

However, the Byzantine Empire did not border the current Tang Dynasty, and was also facing the invasion of the Arab Empire, so this grand event did not take place here.

The Arab Empire, while encroaching on the territory of the Byzantine Empire, unexpectedly found the leisure time to come to the Tang Dynasty to join in the fun.

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Arab Empire was recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty. It had been expanding its territory and once attempted to invade the Tang Dynasty and fought a great battle with the Tang army.

This is not a good bird.

A wanton expansionist thug!

The visit of the Arab Empire this time may not be with good intentions.

Of course... Qin Wenyuan also felt that it might not collude with other countries. After all, in the eyes of the Arab Empire, those countries might be just like food and were targets that the Arab Empire wanted to devour.

So, this Arab Empire...maybe it will be a special chess piece.

Fang Xuanling's knowledge of the Arab Empire was obviously not as good as Qin Wenyuan's, but he also knew how powerful the Arab Empire was.

He frowned and said, "The Arab Empire has always been a mystery to us in the Tang Dynasty. The only thing I know is that the Arab Empire has a very large territory and has been constantly conquering all directions. Over the years, it has annexed many small countries, but there is still some distance between it and the Tang Dynasty, and there are also some countries between them, so not many people in the court care about it."

"But I always have a bad feeling..."

Fang Xuanling looked at Qin Wenyuan: "This Dashi Kingdom has a very big appetite. In the future... it is very likely to covet our Tang Dynasty. Now that it is expanding recklessly, it may become a headache for the Tang Dynasty in the future."

Qin Wenyuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

He knew about the Tang Dynasty because he knew the future history. But he didn't expect that Fang Xuanling would have such an inference.

This is completely stepping out of the existing circle to look at this matter.

It's not easy.

No wonder Fang Xuanling’s name is recorded in history.

"Master Fang, that's a good idea."

Qin Wenyuan said with a smile.

"You think so too?"

Qin Wenyuan did not hide it. He nodded slightly: "Appetites will grow little by little, and human ambitions will never stop. One day, the buffer state between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire will be destroyed, and once the territories of the two countries are adjacent..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "That is when the two countries officially go to war."

Fang Xuanling felt a pang in his heart when he heard this.

His expression changed.

Qin Wenyuan put down his wine glass, slowly stood up, looked at the envoys from the Arab Kingdom going away, smiled again, and said: "However, I am here, and I am not the kind of person who likes to watch the enemy slowly become stronger and do nothing."

"It just so happens that this opportunity is rare. I will consider sending some trouble to the Kingdom of Daqin."

Fang Xuanling's eyes moved.

Only then did he suddenly realize how much preparation Qin Wenyuan had made for this event where all nations came to pay tribute, and how astonishing his goal would be.

Turks!

Qin Wenyuan is preparing to make the Turkic Khan extinct!

Big food country!
Qin Wenyuan is preparing to cause some trouble to the Kingdom of Daqin in order to eliminate the future crisis of the Tang Dynasty!
This was just casually revealed by Qin Wenyuan!
What about what Qin Wenyuan didn’t say?
what else?
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but look at Qin Wenyuan. At this time, the sky was bright and the sunlight fell on Qin Wenyuan's body, as if Qin Wenyuan was covered with a layer of golden battle clothes, just like a banished immortal...

Only then did he realize that this coming of all nations would... directly change the overall situation in the world, and for the Tang Dynasty, it might... also be an unprecedented opportunity for change!
But Fang Xuanling...can't see clearly what the future will be like.

Because he couldn't see through Qin Wenyuan at all, and didn't know what horrible things this young man with terrifying intelligence would do.

But in short, he knew... this time the gathering of all nations would be extremely lively.

Qin Wenyuan casually put down some copper coins and said, "Master Fang, the chess pieces... oh no, the envoys from various countries have arrived one after another. As the person in charge, I should go and take a look."

"I just suddenly remembered that I haven't arranged accommodation for them yet, so they don't even have a place to rest when they come here. Look at my brain, how could I forget such an important thing?"

Qin Wenyuan tapped his head lightly and said, "So, I won't accompany Fang Da."

Fang Xuanling looked at Qin Wenyuan with suspicion.

How could Qin Wenyuan, with his evil brain, forget such an important thing?

No matter how he thought about it, he felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

Could it be that Qin Wenyuan did it on purpose?

Deliberately not arranging accommodation for those envoys and just leaving them there?

why?
To give them a warning?
Or could it be that Qin Wenyuan is capable of doing something creative with regard to the accommodation issue?

Fang Xuanling looked at Qin Wenyuan's graceful back as he left, his eyes flashing.

It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, so I might as well take a look at the fun secretly.

He was really curious about what Qin Wenyuan would do next.

How would Qin Wenyuan use the envoys of various countries as pawns and make them work for me?

This was the first time Fang Xuanling had felt so curious in his entire life. After thinking about it, he did not delay any longer and quickly followed.

Qin Wenyuan didn't know that Fang Xuanling had also come, and he didn't care.

He has prepared everything, and he is not worried about who follows him.

"Master."

As soon as I left the restaurant, Xu Dog came to greet me.

Surprisingly, the person who came along was his wife Changle.

Qin Wenyuan was slightly stunned, then he greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Madam, why are you here?" Qin Wenyuan asked, holding his wife's soft little hand.

Changle rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "My husband, I heard that you were among the nations that came to pay tribute this time. Did you...did you see His Majesty?"

See! ?
It's more than just seeing it.

This is what Li Shimin promised me!
When Qin Wenyuan thought of this, he became more proud of what he had done. He... unknowingly made his wife's father extremely satisfied.

And this should be a very happy thing for his wife.

After all, she gave up everything and rejected everything to be with him, a powerless person, in her free body. This really moved Qin.

Put yourself in their shoes. If you have a huge fortune and want to leave everything behind for one of the women, it would be very difficult... really very difficult to do.

And my wife did it!

Therefore, Qin Wenyuan loved his silly wife terribly.

He did not answer, but took Changle's hand affectionately and kissed her gently using the etiquette of later generations.

Changle's face instantly turned red with embarrassment. If it was at home, it would be fine, but this was outside, in an inn full of all kinds of people!
It was clearly visible that many diners had already noticed this side, and some were even whistling and making a noise.

She was too embarrassed to look.

She had no choice but to vent her anger on her husband, saying unhappily, "Husband, we are outside, don't do anything stupid."

"Haha."

Qin Wenyuan laughed loudly, waved his hand, looked at the diners around him, and said proudly: "If you continue to act like this and bring shame to my wife, you will be sent to the Dali Temple Prison for a day!"

"What, Dali Temple Prison? Who the hell are you?!"

"Hush, be quiet, that's Lord Qin."

"What!? Lord Qin, but... but Lord Qin who cured smallpox and won the first place in the imperial examination?!"

"Yes, it's him!"

"Hiss! Lord Qin, you are a magnanimous man, please forgive me. I will get out of here right now!!"

One diner was so rude that he just rolled out.

This made the diners around laugh.

At the same time, they all put down their chopsticks tacitly and walked towards the shopkeeper to pay the bill.

joke!

This is Lord Qin!

The old man has already spoken out, who dares to make fun of his wife here? !

Moreover, there was a huge Buddha standing where we were eating, which made it difficult to enjoy our meal. We better leave quickly.
