Li Shimin

Chapter 546 Let Lord Shu Ming issue a Letter of Credentials to the Kingdom of Wa

"Your Majesty, the most important thing is that Li Dazhu from the village brought Li Xiong a female bear from the mountain!"

Li Chang said.

"Ok?"

Li Xuan's eyes lit up immediately, "This is a great joy!"

After finishing speaking, he put on a heavy cloak and walked to the backyard.

When he came outside Li Xiong's small courtyard, Li Xuan's footsteps became lighter. Who knows if the fat little black man would do some shameful things in broad daylight after he had a mother-in-law.

In order not to disturb, Li Xuan tiptoed to the door, then slowly probed and peeked inside.

Sure enough, one could see a black and white dumpling about the same size as Li Xiong, hugging and lying down with Li Xiong.

But, luckily, he was just sleeping.

As if smelling Li Xuan's breath, Li Xiong opened his eyes in a daze, greeted the sneaky figure outside the courtyard, and continued to bury his head in sleep.

"Another heartless one!"

Li Xuan rolled his eyes, cursed in a low voice, and walked back.

However, it was full of smiles.

Behind him, Li Chang still didn't say a word.

"Give Li Dazhu a bottle of liquor, and thank him for finding a wife for Li Xiong!"

After a while, Li Xuan thought of something and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang quickly responded.

night.

Li Xuan, who hadn't seen each other for four months, was ready to get acquainted with Cui Mi just after the sky darkened.

In the end, what he didn't expect was that Li Chenglu didn't know what was going on, and went straight into the house, and saw Li Xuan, a big villain, hugging his mother, burst into tears, and even came up to beat Li Xuan. Kick.

Finally, after driving Li Xuan away, he sat on the bed and looked at the door of the house vigilantly, but did not leave.

"Badness!"

In desperation, Li Xuan could only come to the next door.

In Ziyun's room!

Regarding this, although Zi Yun was full of shyness, she didn't chase Li Xuan away.

She has been waiting for this day for more than two years.

Unexpectedly, this would be the case.

Silent all night.

Waking up early the next morning, Li Xuan felt refreshed.

As for Zi Yun, he moved slowly and suffered serious injuries.

Seeing this, Li Chenglu looked at Li Xuan with even more vigilance.

As long as Li Xuan stayed on the second floor, Li Chenglu would keep a close eye on Li Xuan, even if he was washing or going out.

Without any choice.

Li Xuan could only come to the first floor with an angry expression on his face, he couldn't stay on the second floor.

at the same time.

Li Shimin also came with Fang Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie and others.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Jin!"

After everyone greeted each other, Li Xuan, who was so depressed by the kid, saw the person who accompanied him to drink to relieve his boredom, and directly asked the housekeeper Li Chang to bring five catties of warm wine.

Just put the wine in hot water and warm it up.

"Your Majesty, drinking warm wine in winter is even more refreshing."

After several large pots such as the mutton soup pot and the stewed chicken soup pot with mushrooms came up, Li Xuan started directly.

Seeing this, although Li Shimin was a little embarrassed when he thought of certain things, he was not polite.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food!
Only then did Li Xuan curiously ask: "It's such a cold day, why did Your Majesty come to me suddenly?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression straightened, and he said slowly: "Xuan Ba, I came here today to ask you, how do you plan to deal with the lord of the Wa Kingdom and the ministers of the Wa Kingdom brought back from the Wa Kingdom?"

"Your Majesty, these lords of the Wa Kingdom and ministers of the Wa Kingdom are captives of the vassal state. They should be dealt with by the imperial court and His Majesty. What have I to do with them?"

Startled, Li Xuan asked directly.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others: "..."

So tired!
Unexpectedly, the person you brought back would be handed over to us for disposal?

With a slow sigh, Li Shimin asked again: "Then, does Xuanba have any good suggestions for dealing with these Japanese rulers and ministers?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan finally came to his senses, Li Shimin is free and has nothing to do, here to ask advice!

However, he is the most familiar with this kind of thing!
"Your Majesty, I remember, I also brought back the seal of Lord Shu Ming of the Wa Kingdom!"

"Gao Ming has been handed over to me!" Li Shimin said.

"Then Your Majesty can ask the Lord Shu Ming to issue a letter of credence to the Wa Kingdom. The Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and the Wa Kingdom is willing to bind itself and become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Fuhua wanted to settle in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty.

In addition, after the Wa Kingdom became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it had to pay taxes to the Tang Dynasty and pay annual tribute.

As for how much to pay, His Majesty can ask the ministers of the Wa Kingdom, such as Nasuga Ezo.

The ministers of the Wa Kingdom I brought back should all be the officials with the highest official positions in the Wa Kingdom.

In order to prevent these dwarves from colluding, Your Majesty can ask a few more ministers of the Japanese kingdom to squeeze out the Japanese kingdom as much as possible!
Items such as gold, steel, silver, jewelry, cloth, and food can all be handed in.

Also, if we can't pay it, let these Japanese hozens come to Datang to serve us as corvee, dig ore, build roads, or reclaim wasteland for Datang.

Even, if there are Japanese hozens who sincerely rely on our Tang Dynasty, they can also be incorporated into our Datang Army, and let these hozens be the vanguard to attack Baekje, Silla and other vassal states.

I believe that the hozens of the Lower Wo Kingdom will definitely do their best when they attack Baekje and Silla..."

Li Xuan said a lot in one breath.

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others subconsciously stopped their chopsticks and listened carefully.

The entire first floor fell into a state of eerie silence.

Looking at Li Xuan, his face was full of shock.

If it was like what Li Xuan said, it would really eat up the entire Wa country, and even the bones and scum could be used.

Naturally, they are already very unscrupulous. I didn't expect that compared with Li Xuan, it is really a comparison between students and masters!

"In this way, my Great Tang will have to send an army to the Wa country, so that those Japanese hozens can honestly listen to my Great Tang's words!"

After a while, Li Shimin said slowly.

"It doesn't matter! An army of [-] is enough, or you can send an army of [-]!"

Li Xuan said with a light smile, "My Tang Dynasty only went to the Wa Kingdom to collect taxes or corvees, and after the autumn harvest, I took a few Wa Kingdom ministers there.

These ministers of the Wa Kingdom are much more familiar with how to collect the taxes and taxes of the Wa Kingdom than my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

If they are not collected, they must be hidden by those Japanese hozens.

My Tang Dynasty only needs to take it from the ministers of those Japanese countries or the palace, and leave after collecting it.

As for how the ministers of the Wa Kingdom handle the government affairs of the Wa Kingdom, it has nothing to do with my Tang Dynasty!
If Baekje and Silla dare to go to Japan to take advantage of the fire to rob, Silla and Baekje will also take over directly, and let them collect taxes for Datang! "

"This is a great plan!"

"happy!"

After listening, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others all looked happy.

"Drink, it's worth drinking!"

Cheng Zhijie had already blushed and picked up the wine glass and drank it.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Li Xuan remembered something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, those Japanese hozens still owe me [-] guan! Your Majesty must not forget this money!"

Li Shimin was stunned, and quickly laughed and said: "Xuanba don't worry, when the tax from the Wa Kingdom comes up, I will definitely send someone to bring it to you!"

Afterwards, a few glasses of warm wine.

Thinking of something, Li Shimin asked casually again.

"It's just Xuanba, will those Japanese monarchs and ministers cooperate with my Tang Dynasty?"
