C370 The first problem of li shimin (1/2)

After the servants left, Sun Shangxiang looked in the direction where the servants had left and found a stool to slowly sit on.

Earlier, the impact that the old man had on her soul was extremely powerful. Although she had once been a travelling adventurer because of her love for him, the travelling adventurer she was was was obviously not on par with the older generation that came from Qin Kingdom.

Although the current Rangers were barely called Rangers, they were still far inferior compared to the Rangers under the tutelage of Prime Minister Lu.

The gap between them was probably similar to that of Hongmen in the twentieth century and that of a certain social figure in the twenty-first century.

”This is what a Ranger is!” Sun Shangxiang sighed lightly.

However, Zhuge Liang and the others were confused upon hearing this. They did not disturb the Xiao Wen who was still in his ashen state, as if he had not recovered from the direct attacks of the clan elders. They all looked towards Sun Shangxiang.

Zhuge Liang asked, ”Ah, Sister Xiang, what's going on?”

”You don't even know that? You're going to be stupid!” Seeing these people actually look at the shocking scene from a moment ago, Zhuge Liang could not help but curse.

”This... ”It's not like we're rangers …”

”Wan'er,” Suddenly, Sun Shangxiang turned to her and said, ”Don't play with this big pig's hoof anymore.”

”En...” ”Oh!” Although she didn't know why Sun Shangxiang would say that, Wan'er still agreed like a joke. This made everyone even more confused.

Time quickly passed, and on the second day, Xiao Wen once again returned to the life of a diplomat.

On one side, he was exchanging benefits with the officials and generals of the Great Tang Dynasty. On the other hand, he was also beginning to sell his political ideas to the officials and dignitaries of the Great Tang Dynasty.

However, at the same time, a piece of news also came from the Great Tang Dynasty.

On the same day that the miscellaneous families of Great Tang Dynasty visited Xiao Wen, due to a conflict erupting between them during their conversation, Xiao Wen did not hesitate to pull out his sword and stab his senior.

Some Confucian scholars consider this an unfilial act. But very quickly, some of Xiao Wen's friends, especially Songyang Academy's Li Gang, came out to wash the floor.

He openly supported Xiao Wen in a few social occasions, claiming that Xiao Wen was only trying to pursue the truth.

In any case, what was taught by the Confucianists was actually to deal with the stepping stone of the imperial examinations. After using it, one could throw it away. In the government, unless they attacked political enemies or tried to find a reason for their actions, few officials would speak of Confucianism as a classic.

Whether or not one wanted to slander Xiao Wen, all of this depended on whether or not it was beneficial.

Hence, very quickly, the Great Tang Dynasty's public opinion directed Xiao Wen to become a great man who would eliminate his relatives for the sake of truth, disregarding family relationships.

However, as time passed, Xiao Wen also found out about one thing — that was, the time left for him was running out.

After another week of diplomatic work, Xiao Wen was summoned by Li Shimin and entered the imperial palace.

That day, Li Shimin held a grand welcoming ceremony.

Because in these past few years, the relations between the big sized man and the other nations in the east were tense, and the big sized man's diplomatic system was indeed not that good, thus the diplomatic work between the Great Tang Dynasty and the countries in the east was in a stagnant state.

Although through the existence of the Anxi Capital Residence, they had close ties with some small countries in the Western Region, that was only the relationship between the Subordinate Nation and the Subordinate Nation.

Those small nations simply could not enter Li Shimin's line of sight.

In fact, for some countries that were too small in size and did not offer as much tribute, Li Shimin would not even bother to personally receive them.

However, everyone knew that the strength of the big sized man was not inferior to the Great Tang Dynasty s.
