I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 551: Extravagant Emperor
"With so many people, a capital city is built like this. What a waste."

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is such a useless waste."

"It looks like these fertile lands should belong to our empire."

Dagoli watched these scenes with a happy smile on his face.

The weaker the Tang Dynasty appears, the happier he is, so he won't have anything to fear.

During the journey carefully arranged by the Ministry of Rites, the envoys from the Shihan Kingdom had already become deeply convinced of the weakness of the Tang Dynasty and looked down upon it.

When they return, the war will surely begin.

And this is what the Tang Dynasty wants and what Li Zheng wants.

Before the envoys from the Shihan Kingdom arrived, Li Zheng ordered the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Revenue to prepare for war with all their strength.

When the Shihan country mobilizes its troops, we can definitely catch them off guard.

Looking at the special arrangements made by the Tang Dynasty's Ministry of Rites along the way, the envoys from the Shihanna Kingdom entered the palace.

And outside.

There were beggars on the streets, people lying on the ground pretending to be corpses, and people selling themselves to bury their fathers.

All stood up suddenly.

"Hahaha."

"Fellow villagers, how is my acting?"

"Very good, wonderful."

"These foreign tribes must have been deceived by us. I'm afraid they all think that our Tang Dynasty is weak and will mobilize troops when we return."

"Hahaha."

"I am happy when I think about how these foreign races thought that the Tang Dynasty was weak and invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, only to be severely beaten by the Tang Dynasty army. This is also a credit to me as a beggar."

"good."

"When the Tang Dynasty destroys the Shihan Kingdom, we will all be heroes."

Everyone who had just acted burst into laughter.

At this time.

An official from the Ministry of Rites came out, accompanied by several clerks.

Looking at the people performing the play, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Fellow villagers, thank you for your hard work."

"You have to perform the whole show. The Shihan delegation will leave soon, and you will need to perform it again. Of course, everyone will be rewarded after it's over."

unexpectedly.

Hearing rewards.

However, these people all shook their heads.

And he said very firmly: "Sir, there is no need for reward."

"The emperor governs the country with benevolence and kindness, and his kindness to ordinary people like us is as great as a mountain. We have the opportunity to serve the country and the emperor, which is already a great blessing to us."

"Yes."

"We ordinary people are grateful for the emperor's grace. We will never forget the emperor's great kindness."

"It is our honor to be able to serve the Emperor."

"grown ups."

"These are our repayments for the emperor's great kindness."

All the people expressed their gratitude.

See this scene.

The officials and clerks of the Ministry of Rites all had expressions of surprise on their faces.

But then, they also have a deep sense of identity.

"Throughout the dynasties, it is almost impossible to find a wise ruler who is as popular as your Majesty."

"As long as we obey the law, we officials will also receive a lot of salary."

"The Emperor is worthy of our service."

Several people thought to themselves.

But when the envoys from the Shihanna Kingdom arrived at the palace, the same situation naturally occurred.

There were lazy imperial guards everywhere, and they were in pairs everywhere. They even turned a blind eye to the envoys from the Shihan Kingdom who came in, and ignored them.

"The delegation from the Shihana Kingdom has arrived."

"Why don't you line up to welcome them?"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites angrily shouted at the imperial guards. But the only one who greeted them was a general of the imperial guards who shouted: "They are just some foreigners. Our Tang Dynasty is the dignified Celestial Empire. Why should we line up for them? Are they worthy?"

"go away."

Upon hearing the answer from the commander of the imperial guards, the official from the Ministry of Rites became so angry that his face turned red. He raised his finger and pointed, almost to the point of collapse.

"A common man, a soldier."

"I must go to the Emperor to report you."

The official from the Ministry of Rites said angrily.

"Go ahead, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"I am a relative of the Emperor, am I afraid that you will make a report?"

"It's alright, go away."

Qin Haisheng cursed angrily, and his behavior was so arrogant and domineering.

That's right.

Today, the Ministry of Rites invited Qin Haisheng to guest-star as a general of the Imperial Guards. As the uncle of the current emperor, he is indeed qualified to say that he is the emperor's relative.

"Humph."

The official from the Ministry of Rites snorted angrily, turned his head away and ignored him.

Then he came to the Shihana envoys and said indifferently, "The emperor is waiting in the main hall. When you arrive at the palace gate, you are not allowed to ride horses or carriages, and you are not allowed to bring weapons. Please wait outside the palace gate except for the envoys, and hand over all your weapons."

"Since we have arrived in your Tang Kingdom, we will naturally obey."

"After all, my Khanate is full of nobles who know etiquette."

Dagoli spoke slowly.

The translator beside the carriage also translated it immediately.

"This foreign race is really good at scolding people, saying that they are nobles who understand etiquette, implying that all of us in the Tang Dynasty are barbarians."

The official from the Ministry of Rites sneered in his heart, as he could hear the hidden meaning of this alien's words.

but.

Now is the time to act, and the official from the Ministry of Rites did not show it at all. If it were in the past, he would have slapped him in the face.

soon.

Under the guidance of this Ministry of Rites official.

Led by Dageri, the envoy of the Shihanna Kingdom, and several accompanying nobles, they walked into the Taiji Hall.

now.

The Taiji Hall is filled with luxury.

Both sides of the main hall.

More than a dozen courtiers and nobles of the Tang Dynasty all drank until their faces turned red, and they drank and ate meat in big gulps.

There were also many dancers from the Jiaofang Bureau dancing gracefully in the hall, and under their veils, there were countless charming expressions.

And on that high dragon throne.

Li Zheng did not sit in any position, but lay on the dragon throne. Two palace maids were feeding him fruits and pouring wine for him, and he was having a great time.

Once inside.

Even Dageri, a nobleman from the highly respected Shihanna country, was stunned.

"This Tang Kingdom has actually reached such a level of extravagance."

"With war and extravagance, no wonder there are so many dead bodies and beggars in the Tang Kingdom."

"It's ridiculous to have such an incompetent emperor."

"This should be what the intelligence said, the young emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Jianwu Emperor Li Zheng."

"The intelligence said that the Emperor Jianwu of the Tang Kingdom was a former military man and was very good at commanding troops. But now it seems that he was just exaggerating. It's really ridiculous."

Da Ge Li Shao took a look at the situation in the Tai Chi Hall and sneered in his heart.

This made him more convinced of what he thought in his heart that the Tang Dynasty was a country that was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Although it had a large population, it could not be fully utilized and was a weak country.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"The delegation from the Shihana Kingdom has arrived."

The official from the Ministry of Rites respectfully made his speech.

"Oh, here we come."

Li Zheng raised his head lazily and glanced at Da Geli and others in the hall.
