On one occasion, in order to show friendship with the Tang Dynasty, the Uighur kingdom sent an envoy Mian Bogao to visit the King of Tang with a batch of rare treasures. Among these tributes, the most precious is a rare bird-the white swan.
Mian Bogao is most worried about this white swan. If something happens to him, how will he tell the king? Therefore, along the way, he personally fed the water and did not dare to neglect it for a moment. On this day, Mian Bogao came to Mianyang Lake and saw the white swan craning its neck, opening its mouth and panting. Mian Bogao couldn't stand it, so he opened the cage, took the white swan to the water, and let it have a good drink.
Who knows that the white swan drank enough water, closed its neck and a wing and flew into the sky with a splash! Mian Bogao jumped forward, only picked up a few feathers, but failed to catch the white swan and watched it fly without a trace. At that time, Mian Bogao stood in a daze for a while with a few white goose feathers in his hand, thinking back and forth about a question in his mind: "What should I do? Tribute? What should I bring to see Emperor Taizong? Go back? How dare you go to see the Uighur king! "
The attendants said, "The swan has flown away. Let's think of a remedy." After careful consideration, Mian Bogao decided to continue his trip to the East. He took out a piece of white silk, carefully wrapped the goose feather, and wrote a poem on the silk book: "Swan salutes the Tang Dynasty, and the mountain is heavy and the road is far. Sheep Lake has lost its treasure, so it is difficult to throw it away. Serve the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and confess to Mian Bogao. Things are light and people are righteous, and goose feathers are sent thousands of miles! "
Mian Bogao went to Chang 'an effortlessly with jewels and goose feathers. Emperor Taizong received goose feathers from Mian Bogao and Mian Bogao. Emperor Taizong read this poem and listened to Mian Bogao's complaints. Instead of blaming him, he felt that Mian Bogao was honest and fulfilled his mission, so he gave him a big reward.
