Datang Longya

Chapter 980 Li Shimin Pops Out Halfway

"Get up, Kaohsiung Shin? Kim Hyun-min? Seriously, you people from Baekje, Silla, and that fallen Korean, it's a good name."

Long before crossing to the Tang Dynasty, Leng Feng wanted to complain about it. It is a small place, and the names are quite good. They are either virtuous, kind, or trustworthy. Anyway, in the eyes of Tang people, these names are really good.

Gao Xiongxin and Jin Xianming stood up, the two of them didn't even bring their entourage, they exchanged glances, and then sat down on the chairs Leng Feng had prepared for them.

For the sake of the generous gifts they presented, Leng Feng also asked Lao Yuan to prepare soft cushions for them, and even tea and fruit.

Looking at the golden tea in the tea bowl, Xin Gaoxiong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and took a sip tremblingly.

Although they were prepared to be made things difficult, they were at a loss for what to do with the unusual courtesy they received here.

The gift list was placed on the table, and after checking the gift list again, Leng Feng said, "There is nothing to show courteousness to, either rape or steal. But you don't have the courage to rape or steal. Tell me, what do you want to come to me?"

Gao Xiongxin was afraid that Lord Huguo would never talk about discussing things, but now that he took the initiative to speak, he was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while.

Jin Xianming was much more stable. He stood up imitating the etiquette of the Tang people, and said to Leng Feng, "The envoys from the next country heard that you were the one who advocated using armor and weapons to exchange silver with the Japanese country. I don't know if that is it?"

Leng Feng nodded, now that this matter has been made public, it is not really a big secret.

Seeing Leng Feng's admission, Jin Xianming was overjoyed. After he handed over his hand again, he said excitedly: "There are several rich silver mines in Xiaguo's land today. I wonder if Lord Duke can still carry out such a transaction? Bid high."

Leng Feng didn't expect that they came to the door for this matter.Jin Xianming did not hide his intentions. Since he came with Gao Xiongxin, he made it clear that Silla Baekje had reached an alliance of interests and was ready to deal with the Wa Kingdom.Before they had a truce with the Wa Kingdom, it seemed that the so-called covenant was nothing more than a scrap of paper.

Rejection, this must be rejected, a retired person, what kind of thing does he take care of!

"You didn't come to visit me when you learned that I had a conflict with Tokugawa Kayu, did you? As I said earlier, I have retired now, oh, it means that I am not in power. You have found the wrong person, Minister of the Ministry of War Tang Jin, if you don’t pay a visit to Tang Guan, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, and Yan Xiangshi, these powerful people, don’t you put the cart before the horse when you come to me!”

Gao Xiongxin had already recovered, and he also left the table and said: "The envoys of the next country naturally know this, but we hope that this matter can be heard directly by the heavens, instead of going to the court for a discussion, and finally turning into an uncertain result. .Although you have retired, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is your student. Presumably your letter can still be sent directly to the Dragon Case.

Although the Wa Kingdom surrendered, they did not have the slightest respect for the Shang Kingdom in private.Since Shangguo needs money, to be honest, if you give it to Silla Baekje, you will hand over more.The envoys of the next country heard that you don't have any good feelings for the Wa country. You should be happy to see such a thing come true. "

Leng Feng tapped his forehead, this time he was really convinced.It seems that none of the envoys from various countries is not a qualified intelligence worker, and even the fact that he has no good impression of the Japanese country has been investigated.

But one size counts. If he writes to Li Chengqian now, he is interfering in the government. If there is anything that needs to be reminded, go through a formal channel like Leng Jingshangzuo. Even if everyone sees that this is Leng Feng's idea, they will laugh it off. , disagree.But if you write a letter, tsk tsk tsk, it is a kind of conspiracy, even if it is reasonable, it will attract attacks.

Leng Feng is very satisfied with his retirement life, but he doesn't want to bring unnecessary troubles.

Just when he was about to refuse, Li Shimin's voice came from outside the door: "Besides, I'm a little moved."

As soon as the words fell, two guards entered first, and they roughly pulled Gao Xiongxin and Jin Xianming to the position against the wall, and even pushed the chairs aside.

Li Shimin walked in, picked up a chair, walked over to Leng Feng and sat down.

Leng Feng didn't get up, the emperor needs a "friend" after retirement, Li Yuan's friend was Pei Ji at the beginning, now Li Shimin's friend is him, two people don't even need to hand over etiquette when they meet.

If the envoys don't know the Supreme Emperor, it will be a complete failure. Gao Xiongxin and Jin Xianming did not expect the Supreme Emperor to come, and now they are prostrate on the ground, sifting chaff all over their bodies, and almost can't hold back their urine.

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin's majesty and prestige was achieved by himself. Even after the Zen position, his majesty still shrouded the hearts of these people.

Picking up a pear, Li Shimin tasted it, and said to Gao Xiongxin and Jin Xianming: "Go on, if what you say is reasonable, it's not that I can't help you."

Leng Feng quietly gave Li Shimin a hand: "Come on, we're both retired, it's not a good habit to meddle in government affairs. What do you want Cheng Qian to think about this matter?"

Li Shimin smiled, seeing that the two of them had already stood up, they didn't say anything.

Even though they stood up, the legs of Gao Xiongxin and Jin Xianming were still shaking. After a long time, Gao Xiongxin dared to speak out.

"Emperor Taishang, you should remember that in the beginning of the Wa Kingdom, "the country of the rising sun sends the letter of the sunset". It is not that the Wa Kingdom did not know how powerful the Tang Dynasty was, but they still uttered wild words with extreme arrogance because of their geographical advantage. .

In contrast, in Silla, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no shortage of offerings.Every time our queen submits her credentials, she will use the finest silk, the finest needlework, and embroider the finest patterns.Others' credentials are made of paper, but ours is embroidered. This shows how sincere our respect for our country is. "

Li Shimin stroked his chin and nodded. Gao Xiongxin was right. The letter of credence of the Queen of Silla was indeed the most outstanding one.Not only the form of the credential, but the content is also comfortable.There is no way, for a queen to write a letter of credence to a male emperor, ambiguity is essential.However, Li Shimin is very good at this.

Seeing Li Shimin's smile, Gao Xiongxin's legs stopped shaking immediately: "Later, although Silla assisted Goryeo, it was worried that its lips would die and its teeth would be cold. It was a matter of the country, and even if it was betrayal, it was justifiable. After the fall of Goryeo, I, Silla, was not Restored the worship of the Tang Dynasty directly? As for the whole world attacking the Tang Dynasty, it is the overall situation. Silla is only a small country, and it has to collide with the hardest reef under the pressure of the tide. So, even if we are forced by the Tang Dynasty to the country of Wa, There is no trace of resentment. I just feel ashamed of the pity of the upper kingdom, so the annual offerings not only have not decreased, but have even increased a lot."
