Doctor of the Ministry of Rites. For the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tang Dynasty appointed a pilot, and he was also a doctor of the Ministry of Rites. Although the word "righteous man" was added in front of Huanyi, what still cannot be changed is that Dou Yi is a businessman.

And he is a big businessman.

Deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial court has directly appointed a businessman as an official. Huanyi can also be famous in history for this. And he is also a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. Although the official position of a doctor is lost in Chang'an City, it is not even a splash.

I can't afford it, but it was done by a businessman. It was a perfect satire of Confucianism. Huanyi was stunned, but he even forgot about the imperial edict.

"Master Dou, you accept the order!" The Yulin Army officers looked at Huanyi with great envy. A small doctor, in the huge official system of the imperial court, is nothing at all. Any prime minister and assistant minister in Xuande Palace can be appointed

Yes, but now it happens that Zhenguan Tian personally appoints him. This is not something that any official can do.

"Wait a minute!" At this time, Bo Tie came up on horseback, pointed at Huanyi with the whip in his hand, and then pointed at several imperial guards and said: "I don't care who the emperor of the Tang Dynasty appoints as doctor, but

What does it mean to send a bunch of despicable and hurtful people to preside over the peace talks? Doesn't this mean that we, the Turks, are not being looked down upon? Why, you insult the Turkic envoys like this, aren't you afraid that our Turkic army will go south again?

"

"Going south again? Do you still have the strength?" Wei's imperial guard sneered: "I know you. When I followed His Majesty, I saw you in the rebellious army. A defeated general cannot be brave enough. You

How dare this defeated man dare to show off his power in front of our Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty? Will he have another battle in Shengzhou? I'm afraid. If he is defeated again, I'm afraid your Yahan no longer has a hundred thousand troops to squander!

If I were you, I would follow you cautiously, not even daring to fart, "Humph, this is my land of the Tang Dynasty. It is your turn, the defeated Turkic general, to act so arrogantly. My Majesty, don't say anything about appointing a businessman as the doctor to preside over the peace talks."

Even if you appoint a beggar to preside over the peace talks, you have to accept it.

"You?" Bo Tie's face turned red, and he stared at the Imperial Guard soldier with his eyes. If his eyes could kill, he would have stabbed countless bloody holes in the Imperial Guard soldier.

"Hey. Sir Bo Tie, your majesty has spoken so eloquently. From now on, the general will be served by lower officials. However, Huanyi's face was filled with red light, and the original cautiousness that was unique to businessmen could no longer be seen on his face, and even his waist was too thin.

He stood upright and his voice was very strong. He looked as if he had just won a big victory.

"You, your face is red with anger, but you are secretly fearful in your heart. As an enemy, Botie, like Jali, has studied the culture of the Central Plains. The emperors of the Central Plains in the past were all people who paid attention to their appearance, and they wanted nothing more in foreign peace talks.

It is a title and does not pay attention to reality, so this time he thought that as long as he made some empty promises and even became a minister to the Tang Dynasty, he might even get countless benefits. But now it seems that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a

He is a powerful character. He destroyed the official selection system of the Central Plains for hundreds of years and actually appointed a lowly businessman as the peace minister. This was beyond Bo Tie's expectation. What is a businessman? Businessmen are the most cunning people in the world.

Man, before leaving, Jali had asked Bo Tie to learn business skills from the merchants in the Central Plains, and he had already discovered this matter. These businessmen can tell the dead to be alive, and the living to be called alive.

He was very impressed by the fact that a man with a strong mouth and a sharp tongue could turn things around. He also learned a lot along the way.

In this way, he was very confident that he could get a lot of things from the Tang Dynasty. But this time it was different. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came up with a surprise, and he actually let Huanyi, a big businessman from Chang'an, be the doctor.

, presided over the peace talks, which gave him a bad feeling. He learned everything from businessmen, and at this time, he was used to deal with Huanyi. Bo Tie did not think that he had learned so much.

Ji Yi can be dealt with with just a little bit of skin. For a moment, he was depressed, but there was no way. Who could let this time, there was a serious contrast in the strength of the two sides? It was no longer the dynasty of the Central Plains that relied on the grassland.

But the overlords on the grassland have lost their former majesty, and they have been begging the emperor of the Central Plains for a long time. This situation has changed, and the person presiding over the peace talks is also beyond his expectation. This makes Bo Tie extremely uneasy and looks at Dou.

Yi's excited face made him want to take out the scimitar from his waist and cut off his head. Unfortunately, there were several mighty-looking Royal Forest Army officers beside him. These people were not something he could deal with at this time.

Bo Tie, I suddenly feel like going back to the prairie...

"Lord Dou, it's better to get on your horse! Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. At this time, the imperial guards brought out a horse, and they were about to help Ji Yi to ride on it.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. A happy smile appeared on Huanyi's face, and he quickly stopped him and said: "His Majesty Dou was so favored by his Majesty that he became a doctor. This position will still be returned to His Majesty in the future. It is unacceptable for the general to say so.

He opened the hands of the Imperial Guardsmen and mounted his mount. Although he had become a doctor of the Ministry of Rites and supported the peace talks, his businessman nature had not changed at all. What's more, standing in front of him... Chuan was the Imperial Guardsman guarding the palace.

, Tianwu Yongfang, who was not allowed to join unless he had military merit, could be offended by a small doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette.

"Lord Bo Tie, I have ordered you to have peace talks with the general. Let's go! Chang'an is not far ahead." Huanyi looked at the ashen-colored Bo Tie behind him, with a happy smile on his face. Once upon a time, this Bo Tie

The Turks were so aloof and aloof, but now, they had to look at their expressions to act. Huanyi thought this was a pleasure.

"Hmph, don't be complacent." Bo Tie's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he snorted: "Let's let you be complacent for now. After the Khan recovers his strength, he will once again herd horses in the Central Plains. Then, let's see

Will you still be as proud as you are today?"

"Haha, Sir Bo Tie, I have heard that before coming to the Central Plains, Lingli Khan asked you to learn peace negotiation skills from the merchants in the Central Plains. I wonder how well you have learned." Dou Yi's face was full of kindness.

A smile appeared, so humble and polite, but the words that came out of his mouth were so sharp and full of sarcasm, which made Bo Tie tremble with anger, and finally couldn't help turning his head away, but

It’s because I don’t want to see Shiyi’s proud look again.

"A few generals, after bothering several people to enter the city, sent Master Botie to the posthouse to rest. He asked the postmaster to take care of him. Master Botie has been in the grassland for a long time. He is used to seeing horses, cattle and sheep, but he has no experience.

After experiencing the scenery of the Central Plains, I have never seen a big city like Chang'an. I must have admired it very much in my heart. Lord Botie, why don't you go shopping first and buy some rare treasures for your wives later, specialties of the Tang Dynasty and so on.

There is no need to rush the peace talks! Haha! Dou Yi has something to do at home, so he should take the first step. Dou Yi suddenly smiled and said to everyone, cupping his hands.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to wait for the last general to take the order. When the officers and soldiers of the Royal Forest Army heard this, they did not understand the reason, but when they thought of this person presiding over the peace talks, they naturally did not dare to neglect and quickly agreed. Poor that bogeyman

Just as Tie was about to say a few words, he saw the whip in Dou Yi's hand twitching, his horse neighing, and it suddenly started running wildly on the official road. Just as Bo Tie was about to catch up, he saw that the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army had already stopped in front of him.

. In desperation, he had no choice but to slap his mount bitterly, and then looked fiercely at Dou Yi's leaving back.

"I would like to ask the concierge to go and report that Dou Yi, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, wants to see Mr. Changsun." In front of Changsun Wuji's mansion, Dou Yi was still dressed in common clothes and did not put on his official robe. He stood respectfully in front of Changsun Wuji's mansion.

Said to the concierge.

"Zhi Yi? Dou Yi, a big businessman in the West City?" The concierge looked at the man with a dusty face in front of him in surprise. Dou Yi's reputation was not only heard among the high-level officials of the Tang Dynasty, but most importantly among the middle and lower classes of Chang'an City.

He is also very famous in the ears of the people. But these people may not have thought that the former great businessman of Chang'an West City would now become one of the many officials of the Tang Dynasty.

"Exactly, I have been favored by His Majesty and has been appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. I have come today to see Mr. Changsun. Please tell me. A trace of pride appeared on Huanyi's face. A businessman has become an official of the imperial court.

If this incident spreads outside, it will definitely surprise many people.

"My lord, wait a moment. He is the concierge of Changsun Wuji's house. He will not refuse because he is a doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette. He respectfully asked Dou Yi to wait in front of the screen wall in front of the house. But he was

After entering the backyard, he went to report to Changsun Wuji.

"Dou Yi?" Zhangsun Wuji, who was practicing his calligraphy, suddenly heard that Yan Yi was visiting. While he was surprised, a trace of pride appeared on his lips. He didn't expect that the original move of Xianqi would actually be used at this time.

It worked.

"Master Lonely said he is wearing a commoner coat, but he did not put on an official robe." The concierge glanced at his master gently, and saw a smile on his face. Fortunately, Dou Yi was not embarrassed just now.

"Yes, yes. Let's serve tea. I will be here soon." Changsun Wuji's face was filled with joy when he heard this. At this time, he was wearing common clothes and had obviously not yet entered the palace to meet the saint, although it was not consistent with the etiquette.

It was consistent, but it was in line with Changsun Wuji's thoughts. This made Changsun Wuji feel that his thoughts were not in vain.

"Your Majesty Dou Yi pays homage to Lord Changsun." Na Shiyi had been waiting in the front hall for a while. When he saw Changsun Wuji slowly walking in, he did not dare to neglect and bowed down quickly. His expression was extremely serious.

Respectfully.

Upon seeing this, Changsun Wuji nodded, feeling satisfied in his heart, but his tone was very calm and said: "Since you are here, let's sit down and talk."

"Thank you, sir. In front of the adults, where is the seat for a villain, it's better for a villain to stand and talk." Huanyi stood up tremblingly and stood respectfully in front of Changsun Wuji, not even daring to sit down.

Respectfully like a slave.

"Can you enter the palace to be a saint?" Changsun Wuji glanced at Shiyi and asked deliberately. "Xiaguan has just returned from the Turks and has not yet entered the palace to meet the saint." Dou Yi said cautiously.

"Nonsense." Changsun Wuji shouted angrily, and Dou Yi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again, not even daring to take a breath. Changsun Wuji stood up, pointed at Dou Yi's nose and cursed: "Don't do that.

I thought that you, the official position of Doctor of the Ministry of Rites, were won for you by me. It was His Majesty's favor and was personally appointed by His Majesty. Although I, the eldest grandson Wuji, was on duty at the Xuande Hall, all my possessions were granted by His Majesty.

You are so stupid and disrespectful that you don't care about coming to my house. Dou Yi, Dou Yi, they all say that you are a big businessman from Chang'an and extremely shrewd.

You can earn ten taels from one tael of silver, so why is this matter so messy?"

"Yes, yes, what Master Changsun taught was the look on Dou Yi's face. His head was like a chicken pecking at rice. He kept nodding his head and said, "I didn't just become such an official. I don't know.

Is this a rule in the officialdom? So I came to the lord and asked the lord to give me some advice, lest I make a mistake that I shouldn't have made when I entered the palace. Huanyi didn't know, although Changsun Wuji scolded himself.

The scolding is very fierce, but sometimes, the more fierce the scolding, the closer you get to yourself. This is the case in front of you.

"Get up!" Changsun Wuji nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Since you are so diligent in the king's affairs, I will give you a few pointers. As for what you can earn in the future, that is not decided by me.

Got it

"Thank you, sir." Huanyi stood up quickly, with a look of excitement on his face. Dou Yi, who had just entered the officialdom, was still immersed in excitement and did not feel the darkness of the officialdom at all.

"Sit down and talk.

Changsun Wuji looked at Dou Yi who was in high spirits. He sighed deeply, pointed to the Grand Master's chair on one side and said, "Your Majesty has already gone to Zhongnan Mountain. Even if you want to see His Majesty today, you have no chance. Tonight you

Just stay in my house and come with me to see His Majesty tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Lord, for your support. Huanyi bowed his hands respectfully after hearing this. Then he retreated to the chair, sat half-assed, and lowered his head. He looked like he was obeying orders. It seemed that the person sitting in front of him was not Changsun Wuji, but Zhangsun Wuji.

It was like a person who was really observing the sky from above. "What do you think of talking to the Turks this time?" Changsun Wuji finally got to the point. There was a trace of seriousness on his fat face, and his expression looked extremely majestic.

"It's nothing more than being loyal to His Majesty and making profits for the Tang Dynasty." Huanyi thought about it and said, "To be honest, when it comes to doing business, Dou Yi is a good player, but after all, it is between people.

Rather than between countries. Although there is a certain connection between the two, there is an essential difference between them. Dou Yi entered the officialdom for the first time and accepted such a big task for the first time. His eyes were dark and he did not know what to do.

, it was full of fog, so when Changsun Wuji asked, he only relied on his own imagination and expressed his own opinions, which was extremely superficial. Changsun Wuji shook his head repeatedly.

"You, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, were personally awarded by His Majesty. You should know that your actions not only represent yourself, but most importantly, they also represent His Majesty. If you succeed, it is certainly due to your contribution, but the most important thing is Your Majesty.

Your success is due to your knowledge of people and strategizing; but if you fail, it is not only your failure, you may lose your official position and continue to be your businessman, because the most important thing is the influence

Your majesty’s wisdom, you understand.” Changsun Wuji taught in a deep voice.

"The lower official's face changed when he found out about it, and he said quickly.

"Although what you just said is thorough, it also touches on the fundamentals. The reason why His Majesty asked you, a businessman, to preside over the peace talks is because His Majesty risked the opposition of the ministers and insisted on letting you preside over this matter. The pressure he bears is

It is conceivable that you have to rely on your profit-seeking nature as a businessman. You are afraid that our officials will imitate Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty for the sake of the emperor. If they are allowed to preside over the peace talks, the Tang Dynasty may gain a false reputation and lose it.

"actual benefits." Changsun Xiaowuji warned: "Remember, what the Tang Dynasty needs is not virtual, but real. What it needs is gold and silver, war horses, etc. Everything that can increase our great power

Everything that Tang Guoli has is needed by our Datang. You have to work hard to get it for Datang.

"Xiaguan understood and Huanyi nodded repeatedly, with a touch of emotion on his face. He knew that this was what Changsun Wuji was teaching him to be careful about. These things were closely related to the tasks he was about to face. He must

Remember it and digest it. Only in this way can you make your official career go longer.

"There is one more thing you should pay attention to. Even if I don't talk about it today, your Majesty will ask your eldest son tomorrow. Wuji took a breath and said: "Your Majesty is about to launch a war against the countries in the Western Regions, but the official road from Chang'an to Yumen Pass has been long.

It is in disrepair, so His Majesty is going to let those prisoners of war repair the official roads; secondly, according to intelligence, the army urgently needs these prisoners, also for the countries in the Western Region and the vast land of the Western Turks, so these prisoners will be handed over to the army one day later.

It can buy us more time. So, when negotiating, you have to pay attention to the time.

"Xiaguan was shocked when he understood, and said quickly. He didn't expect that there were so many things in a small peace talk, and he had to pay attention to so many issues. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly feel lucky to be here today.

Here, otherwise, if asked tomorrow, he would be confused. Now he looked more respectful to Changsun Wuji.
