Ji Tang

Chapter 838: Both kindness and power, everyone is happy!
"But the envoy came because it was His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's wish. How could Xiao Wang disappoint the envoy?"

Just when Wang Xuance thought he was going to be rejected, Queen Seondeok smiled and said,

Wang Xuance and Liu Rengui were both stunned. When they wanted to say something, they were interrupted.

I saw His Highness coming out of the queue and saying, "Your Majesty!"

Queen Seondeok saw that he was an old minister of Silla, so she politely said: "I wonder if you have anything to say, sir?"

The man was not polite and said directly: "Your Majesty, our country is at war with Goguryeo at this time. Most of the troops are on the front line, but not many are left in the capital."

He glanced at Wang Xuance and continued: "The Tang Dynasty is our Silla suzerainty. It is our duty to borrow troops from the Silla Kingdom, but at this moment..."

Now both Queen Seondeok and Wang Xuance understood what he meant, that is, you can borrow troops from the Kingdom of Heaven, but don't open your mouth like a lion. Silla is not having an easy time at this time.

Queen Shande hesitated, but Wang Xuance said loudly: "I understand what this elder said."

But just when Queen Seon Deok and the old minister were secretly rejoicing, Wang Xuance looked directly at Queen Seon Deok and said: "But the order cannot be violated, please think twice!"

Wang Xuance ignored the ugly faces of the Silla ministers and asked directly: "The joint attack on Goguryeo is imminent. I don't have much time to waste here. How many troops can your Majesty borrow?"

He bowed to Queen Seondeok and said, "Your Majesty, please speak out!"

"presumptuous!"

The old minister's face flushed with anger just now, and he yelled loudly: "My king regards the country as the suzerain. This is respect for His Majesty the Emperor, but this is not the rude reliance of a little minister like you."

"You still haven't apologized to my king, or else even if I die, I will report to His Majesty the Khan for your insult to our king."

The old man was so angry that he wished he could pull Wang Xuance out and kill him on the spot.

But who is Wang Xuance?How can you be intimidated by him?
He ignored the old minister and continued to ask: "How many troops can your Majesty lend me to the Tang Dynasty?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Rengui wanted to stop it.

In his opinion, Wang Xuance was a bit domineering.It is an indisputable fact that Silla did have a large number of troops on the front line that were restrained by Yeon Gaesumun.

But Wang Xuance's cryptic look made him calm down. Since Wang Xuance knew what was going on, he ignored it and just watched the fun.

As for the Queen of Silla and everyone, will they take action against them?

Haha, either I look down on them, or I don't dare to do this even if I give them ten courages.

Queen Seon Deok looked ugly, but she still chose to be patient in the face of the aggressive Wang Xuance.

She couldn't afford to offend Datang, let alone dare to offend him!
"Ten thousand!"

Queen Seondeok gritted her teeth and said: "Ten thousand at most. This is the greatest sincerity our country can show at this time."

Perhaps worried about angering the envoy, he quickly said: "Although we have [-] troops, our country can provide more support with food and grass."

Seeing Queen Seon Deok's angry but afraid expression, Wang Xuance had to lament the Tang Dynasty's intimidation to surrounding countries.

Even a little-known person like him could make them so afraid with the imperial edict, which shows that he is afraid of Datang to the core.

"no need."

When Wang Xuance said these three words expressionlessly, both the old minister and Queen Shande's expressions changed drastically.

No?What does it mean?
Is it because you dislike it less?Or is it because you are insulting the Tang Dynasty?

"The envoy misunderstood." Wang Xuance shook his head and suddenly smiled: "No wonder His Majesty treats Silla so favorably. The Tang Dynasty has accepted the king's wishes."

"but!"

"We, the Tang Dynasty, are not robbers, nor are we a ruthless country that doesn't care about the lives of other countries."

"If your Majesty can still think of Datang when he is in crisis, he will definitely report this matter to my Emperor."

"As for borrowing troops."

Just when everyone was nervous, Wang Xuance said with a smile: "Since your country is really in trouble, let's give it three thousand!"

"Silla only needs to dispatch 3000 people!"

At this time, needles could be heard in the hall. Even Liu Rengui, who was sitting aside and watching the excitement, looked sideways. He didn't know what to say for a while.

But then he saw the Queen of Silla and everyone who were dumbfounded and looked incredulous, and then they suddenly realized, and then they had to admire Wang Xuance's scheming and quick wit.

Originally, Queen Seon Deok was ready to bleed a lot and be bullied by the Tang Dynasty.

But Wang Xuance turned around and only had 3000 people. With such a gap, how could Queen Seondeok and everyone in Silla not have a favorable impression of the Tang Dynasty?
As Wang Xuance said, the Tang Dynasty was not a robber, but a state of etiquette in the heavenly dynasty. How could it ignore the life and death of its vassal country?
As long as word of what happened today spreads, it will be excellent positive publicity for other countries and for Datang.

The Tang Dynasty understood the difficulties of its subjects, and Silla showed enough respect for the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the positive image of the Tang Dynasty was established, and it will be a good story for future generations!
As for not borrowing more soldiers?
Ha ha!

Do you really think that nearly [-] naval officers and soldiers can only fight at sea?

It took Queen Seondeok a while to regain her composure, and said excitedly: "Is your Majesty serious about what he said?"

Wang Xuance said angrily: "I am an envoy representing His Majesty, so of course I can make decisions? What? Is the king doubting the credibility of the Tang Dynasty, or is he doubting my emperor?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The old minister just now stepped forward in shame and said: "Please forgive me, your Majesty. I just spoke out of the blue. I don't understand the broad mind of your Majesty. I judge the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. I really deserve death!"

After saying that, he would kneel down to Wang Xuance.

But how could Wang Xuance really make an old minister kneel down?If this spreads out, won't you be drowned in saliva?

"The boss is serious!"

He quickly supported him and prevented him from saluting.

"Boss, speaking out and fighting for the country is really the duty of a minister. With the virtue of Duke Wei of the Tang Dynasty, how can I dare to blame you?"

The old man opened his eyes wide when he heard this and said: "Wei Gong? But Wei Zheng, one of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, who dares to speak out and is called a human mirror by the Khan of Heaven, Wei Zheng, Wei Xuancheng Gong?"

Wang Xuance smiled and nodded: "Sir, have you heard of Duke Wei?"

"Of course I've heard of it!"

The old man seemed to be lost in memories and said: "In the fourth year of Zhenguan, when Tian Khan destroyed the Eastern Turks, captured Jie Li, and invited all the countries to go to Hajj, I was lucky enough to see Wei Gong's grace, and he was even more fascinated by him."

"After I came back, I set an example by him, hoping to become a humeral minister like Wei Gong who could correct the king's gains and losses."

He looked back at Queen Seondeok and said happily: "However, although my king is a woman, he has done many wise things like the previous kings, which makes the old man useful."

He bowed to the southwest and said: "Tian Khan is a holy master who has never appeared in this world. Under the leadership of Tian Khan, the Tang Dynasty has shone brightly in all directions. Goguryeo is nothing to be afraid of. I wish you all a victory and a triumphant return." ”

Wang Xuance smiled and nodded, thanking him for his kind words.
