Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"But Commander Shen, didn't you say that they have no good intentions?"

"Your Majesty, no."

Shen Lian laughed, and said: "First, these countries applied for envoys to Great Tang through normal channels. If our Great Tang disagreed, didn't we take the initiative to hand over the right to speak to them?"

"Let them say that we, Datang, look down on them so we don't let them go on missions! They can also say that I, Datang, are cowardly and afraid of them, so we don't let them go on missions... In short, as long as we refuse, they will definitely have a hundred Taunting us in this way is extremely detrimental to my image as a big country in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin thought for a while, then sighed helplessly.

He had a lot of contact with those countries, so he knew that what Shen Lian said would definitely come true.

There has always been only malice between countries.

Li Shimin also understood now, no wonder Kuan'er recommended Shen Lian to handle this matter, it turned out that there were really some tricks.

"As for the second."

When Shen Lian talked about his understanding, even in the face of the emperor, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a half-smile: "This subordinate has just said that they will not be of one mind for all countries, at least those who are hostile. A country that has been around for ten years has no foundation of trust for cooperation at all."

"And this, doesn't it give us a chance? They can unite in private, and I, Datang...why can't I?"

"Your Majesty, don't forget that Tang Dynasty is a powerful country. As long as we throw an olive branch and break our heads, there are many countries that want to make friends with us. So it's just forming cliques. Who are we afraid of?"

"Not to mention, when they come to Chang'an, that means they have come to our territory. On our territory, how can they turn the world upside down?"

"and….…"

Shen Lian looked at Li Shimin and said, "My Majesty, you can only know what their real intentions are if you let them come here! If we refuse, maybe we won't be able to know what they want to do."

"In case many countries really unite to threaten my Great Tang, but we don't know anything in advance, and we have no preparations...that will be the real danger to my Great Tang!"

"Therefore, anyone can be cowardly, but I, Datang, must not be cowardly!"

"Not only do we not prevent them from coming, we also need to make high-profile publicity, and let everyone know that all nations come to court, let everyone know about these countries, and take the initiative to send envoys to our Tang Dynasty to discuss major issues in the world! This shows that What? It shows that my Great Tang has status and strength, otherwise why would they all take the initiative to come to my Great Tang, and why should my Great Tang go to another country?"

Li Shimin's heart suddenly moved.

stunned!

confused!

Shock!

He stared at Shen Lian with wide eyes.

This strategy is good!
OK! !
Shen Lian smiled and said: "It's just for building momentum, anyway, they have bad intentions, so why should we be polite?"

"Your Majesty, all nations come to pay homage... His Highness wishes for nothing to happen. He hopes that Tang can truly stand at the apex of this world! There are really foreign nations coming to court and bowing their heads to bow their heads! This time, it is an opportunity! "

"In this world, everything is a double-edged sword! For example, this time, they came here with malicious intentions, which is dangerous to us! But what if we handle it perfectly? Then the image of Datang as a great country will be completely destroyed. Roots are growing in these countries!"

"Even, there may be a few vassal states that bow their heads and surrender directly. By then, bad things may really become good things!"

"A coming to court of all nations with malicious intentions, maybe.... can become a truly coming to court of all nations that can be recorded in the history books!"

Brush it!
Li Shimin stood up when he heard Shen Lian's words.

He stared at Shen Lian with wide eyes, only to feel his heart suddenly boil.

The whole person, his face turned red with excitement.

He looked at Shen Lian, said with a trembling voice, "Commander Shen, you... You, what you said, is it true?"

Seeing Li Shimin's excited look, Shen Lian knew that he had spoken to the depths of Li Shimin's heart.

For a Li Shimin who has always wanted to become an eternal emperor like Qin Huang, Han Wu, perhaps... all nations coming to court is Li Shimin's greatest wish.

So Shen Lian directly poked into Li Shimin's heart.

Shen Lian cupped his hands and said, "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to people to make things happen. If you don't do it, how will you know if it will work?"

Li Shimin looked deeply at Shen Lian with his eyes, staring straight at him.

Suddenly, he said, "How sure are you?"

Shen Lian thought for a while, and said: "This subordinate hasn't really contacted them yet, so it's hard to say how much there is, but there is still a [-]% certainty."

"Of course... The premise is that His Majesty fully supports this subordinate, otherwise, if someone blocks your way and dictates your plan, then it may not be possible."

"Fifty percent..."

Li Shimin's eyes kept flickering, and his whole body was also caught in the choice and struggle.

Aggressive or safe?
Give up or take a gamble?
Is the eternal emperor still stopping here?
After an indeterminate amount of time, Li Shimin suddenly raised his head, looked at Shen Lian, his eyes sparkled, he laughed loudly, and said, "Hahaha, Commander Shen, you were recommended by Kuan'er, I believe you!!"

"You can just go ahead and do it. In this matter, whoever stops you will have trouble with me!"

Shen Lian cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, roaming among dozens of countries, uniting vertically and horizontally, and silently changing the general trend of the world... This matter is also very interesting to me. What the Chu Palace has learned, there is a place to show its skills, and the subordinates will definitely do their best to do it."

Li Shimin nodded heavily.

At this moment, Li Shimin's heart broke out because of Shen Lian's words.

He is not reconciled, he only has the name of Emperor Tang in the history books!

He is also not reconciled, his achievements will fall behind his son Li Kuan!

Like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, he will live forever and be praised by future generations!

Wan Bang's coming to court is his only chance!
In this way, Li Shimin accepted Shen Lian's suggestion and agreed to the requests of various countries.

At this moment, the general situation of the world began to change gradually amidst the surging undercurrent.

A quarter of an hour later.

Qin Chenlian left the hall.

Walking out of the palace gate, he looked up at the scorching sun above his head.

"All nations come to court..."

Shen Lian sighed: "At this moment, you are suddenly coming to Datang... What does it mean?"

"Big Dipper, Beichen... Does this have anything to do with you?"

Shen Lian remembered that the purpose of the Big Dipper Society was to stir up major events in the world in secret, so that the general trend of the world would run according to their wishes.

So this time, the coming of all nations to court, which is obviously enough to change the world pattern, is it they who did it?
Although there was no evidence, Shen Lian felt that at least [-]% of them were caused by the Big Dipper Club.

The purpose... Could it be that Beichen is just playing games with His Highness, as he said before, using countries as pawns to fight on the chessboard, right?
"This Beichen is really a lunatic, but..."

Shen Lian smiled, his eyes flickering: "Interesting! This is His Highness's opponent!"

Shen Lian looked away, left the palace and left the imperial city.

After leaving the palace gate, he saw Jin Yiwei waiting there with a carriage. Shen Lian boarded the carriage, said "Go back to the old place", and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

She didn't sleep well last night, and she slept for a short time, which made Shen Lian very tired at this time.

Just now, some brain cells were spent, so as the carriage swayed, Shen Lian was about to fall asleep again.

Boom.

But just when he was about to fall asleep, the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly, causing Shen Lian to rush forward with inertia, and his forehead directly hit the carriage.

He woke up instantly from the pain.

Shen Lian rubbed his forehead, in a very unhappy mood, and said, "A Bao, you better have a reasonable explanation, otherwise I'm going to beat your mother today so that your mother wouldn't even dare to recognize you."

Just about to fall asleep, but was suddenly woken up in such a brutal way, Shen Lian's mentality was about to explode.

Jin Yiwei's Abao's voice became tense, and he said quickly: "My lord, I didn't do it on purpose. At the intersection ahead, a carriage rushed over. We almost ran into it, so the officer stopped the carriage immediately."

After hearing the words, Shen Lian thought about it, and then understood what was going on.

They took a shortcut to the old place. This is a small alley, and only one car can pass through it, so a car suddenly came in front, and they had to stop.

Fortunately, this alley is not long, just step back and let it go.

Although Shen Lian was not in a good mood, he was not in a hurry to compete with anyone, and he was not in a hurry.

"Then exit this alley and let the other side go first." Shen Lian said.

"My lord, I can't do it!"

"Ok?"

"Because there was a carriage behind us, and that carriage refused to retreat, so we were directly caught in the middle, unable to enter or retreat."

When Shen Lian heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised.

Something is not right.

Shen Lian has a good memory, and clearly remembers that this alley is relatively remote, and apart from him, he rarely encounters carriages.

And even if they do, they won't encounter two at the same time.

Not to mention, these two cars directly sandwiched him between them, and no one would let him go. How do you feel... Doing this to him on purpose?
Shen Lian directly lifted the curtain of the car and walked out.

He stepped on the shaft of the car, looked back and forth, and sure enough, as Ah Bao said, he happened to be trapped in the middle.

And these cars have been deadlocked here for a long time, and no one in the two cars came out to say a word.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Both of you, since you came to me on your own initiative, why hide your head and show your tail? What do you think, just say it straight. I don't think you really want to stay here for a day, do you?"

When Ah Bao heard Shen Lian's words, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong with the traffic jam in front of him.

Ah Bao quickly clenched the handle of the knife, and his whole body immediately became vigilant.

And at this time, a calm voice came from the carriage in front: "Commander Shen, you are really smart, and you understand what's going on so quickly."

This voice, I seem to have heard it before.

Shen Lian suddenly recalled some court officials he was investigating recently.

"Lu Xie, the servant under the door?" Shen Lian suddenly asked.

There is another one, Li Qingkui, Minister of the Ministry of Industry?
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly. He has been investigating these two people recently, and the identities of these two people are also unusual. They are both Prince Li Chengqian's henchmen!

Now the two of them directly blocked themselves, it seems that... the comer is not good! !

Shen Lian was thinking a lot, but there was no strange expression on his face. He just smiled and said, "I don't know what Lu Shilang and Li Shilang mean? Why are you blocking me here?"

Li Qingkui seemed a little aloof, so I don't know what to say.

And Lu Xie laughed: "Hehe, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu sat down with powerful figures, why don't Commander Shen take a guess?"

"Is there a reward for guessing correctly?" Shen Lian asked suddenly.

"Commander Shen, what reward do you want?"

"How about you kneel down and bark like a dog?" Shen Lian said with a smile.

"..."

Lu Xie froze for a moment, and soon his whole body trembled in anger.

His beard was about to stand up, and he said coldly: "Commander Shen, don't be joking!"

Shen Lian waved his hand, didn't take it seriously, and said innocently: "Lu Shilang, I'm not joking, you think this reward is not good, then change it."

Shen Lian looked at the carriage in front of him with a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold: "If I guess right, you can adopt me as the grandson of someone Shen. How about you call Shen Xie in the future?"

Bang it!
There was the sound of a teacup being smashed in the carriage.

Lu Xie's voice was extremely angry, as if a storm was coming, and he sternly shouted: "Shen Lian, don't go too far! Don't just rely on the support of His Royal Highness the King of Chu to do whatever you want!"

The smile on Shen Lian's face also disappeared, and he said with a sneer: "Lu Xie, who is going too far, you pat your conscience."

"As you said, we have no relationship or hatred, but you are here, blocking my way, and saying these things to me, Shen, without showing your face... What? You think I am not qualified to see you ?”

"Since you disrespect me, why should I respect you? Respect is mutual, you don't want it anymore, I am your grandfather or your father, I have to think about you?"

When Lu Xie heard Shen Lian's words, he was really furious.

He rushed out of the carriage all at once, and looked at Shen Lian opposite, as if there were flames burning in his eyes.

"Shen Lian, you...you want to die!"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "A Bao, did you hear that? The servant Lu Shilang openly threatened an imperial court official, and you are the witness!"

Due to the unrestricted increase in the prestige of King Chu recently, the status of Shen Lian and his group has also risen, and they all have a place in the court.

"And as one of the newly promoted Dali Temple officials, I have the right to hear this case, so..."

He looked at Lu Xie, smiled, and said, "Lu Shilang, I'm going to arrest you now for threatening the court official and trying to murder the court official. Please don't resist, otherwise not only me, but even Dali Temple has the right to think If you resist arrest, if you accidentally take your life, you can only blame your bad luck."
