Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 453 Dispatching the Tang Envoy

Chang'an, Daming Palace, Xuanzheng Hall, all civil and military officials entered the Xuanzheng Hall to go to court.

"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered Zhang Wenguan to be the servant of the sect, Shangshu Youcheng, and Li Jingxuan, the prince's concubine, as the servant of Zhongshu, and the third rank of Tongzhongshu's sect, and Hao Chujun, the servant of Zhongshu, as the third rank of Tongzhongshu's sect."

As soon as the early dynasty started, Li Chengqian asked Wang Quan to announce a series of latest appointments.

The third class under Tongzhongshumen was first created by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. It is convenient for foreign officials to enter the political hall and participate in political affairs. The main function is to weaken the power of the prime minister, strengthen the monarchy, and control the power of the prime minister.

"Everyone who loves you will go to the court if you have something to do, and you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!" After Wang Quan read out the appointment, Li Chengqian said.

"Qi Zuo Your Majesty! Dongying sent Tang envoys to ask to go to the palace to meet His Majesty!" Dian Keling came out and saluted.

Only then did Li Chengqian remember that the Japanese envoys had been in Chang'an for two or three days, and they begged to be the emperor every day. They just found an excuse to dismiss them a few days ago and did not allow the Japanese envoys to go to the temple for pilgrimage.

"Yes!" Li Chengqian said.

"Xuan Dongying sent Tang envoys to see him!" Wang Quan immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly.

"Xuan Dongying sent Tang envoys to see him!" The eunuch outside the hall immediately turned around and shouted into the distance.

"Xuan Dongying sent Tang envoys to see him!" The Jinwu Guard guarding the palace gate shouted loudly.

Just like this one by one, until the Dongying Tang envoy who was waiting in the imperial city heard the summons.

Dongying dispatched Tang envoys to be summoned by the Tang emperor, weeping with joy, straightened up his makeup immediately, and walked towards the Xuanzheng Hall under the leadership of relevant personnel.

This is the seventh time Dongying sent Tang envoys to Chang'an to meet the emperor of Tang Dynasty.

Dongying sent the Tang envoy to Tang Chang'an this time, and he came with a mission.

Dongying learned that large ships were being built in the coastal area of ​​Datang, and it was very likely that they were planning to attack Dongying.

Dongying, from the king to the common people, was very afraid, fearing that the army of the Tang Dynasty would attack them.

After the battle of Baijiangkou, Wa Kingdom fully realized the gap between itself and Datang. At the same time, because most of the warriors of Japan Wa Kingdom died in Baijiangkou.

There are less than [-] soldiers capable of fighting in the country of Wa. If the Tang Dynasty really sends troops, the country of Wa will only die.

Therefore, this time the Japanese envoy Hanoi Jing and others came to the Tang Dynasty to dispel the Tang Dynasty's idea of ​​attacking the Japanese country.

"Dongying sent Tang envoy Hanoi Jing and his delegation to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang! Long live, long live, long live!" Hanoi Jing and others bowed their heads and paid homage to Li Chengqian.

"Free from courtesy!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Emperor Tang!" Hanoi Jing and the others got up and said.

"This time your king of the Japanese kingdom sent you across the ocean to Chang'an, what is your plan?" Li Chengqian asked.

"My king and the people of the Wa Kingdom all admire the Great Tang, especially the culture and craftsmanship of the Great Tang. They have been fascinated for a long time, and hope to learn the culture, characters, and craftsmanship of the Great Tang."

"At the same time, I pray that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can introduce these to Dongying, so that Dongying can pass on from generation to generation." Hanoi Jing said.

"These are just trivial matters. I allow you to stay in Chang'an to study, and go to Taixue to study with the students." Li Chengqian said.

"Thanks to Emperor Datang for his generosity, the people of Dongying will always remember Datang's kindness." Hanoi Whale said.

"Oh! By the way, in order to show respect to Datang, my king specially sent treasures to congratulate Datang on unifying the Liaodong Peninsula." Hanoi Jing said again.

Li Chengqian on the throne didn't say anything, Hanoi Jing didn't know what the emperor of Tang meant, so he didn't continue, for fear of saying the wrong thing and angering the emperor.

If the emperor was upset by this and ordered to send troops to attack Dongying, he Hanoi Whale would be Dongying's sinner through the ages.

"Women envoy, you should say that the Japanese king offered the treasure." Dian Keling reminded in a low voice.

After hearing this, Hanoi Whale came to his senses and sighed in his heart.

Even though there is only one word difference between sending up and presenting, there is a world of difference.

Sending treasures means that Dongying and Datang have the same status, and the two countries are equal diplomacy.

Offering treasures means that Dongying has a lower status than Datang, and the relationship between the two parties is subordinate, and Dongying will submit to Datang.

Who will offer treasures to the monarch? Only subjects who submit to the monarch will offer treasures to the monarch.

"The Japanese King of Dongying congratulates His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty on the pacification and unification of the Liaodong Peninsula. The special minister presented treasures from Dongying to show his sincerity." Hanoi Jing said.

"Well! The King of Japan has a heart! I wonder what the King of Japan will offer me?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the treasure of the East China Sea that I have presented to Dongying. This is..." Hanoi Jing introduced the treasures he brought this time to Li Chengqian.

This time when they came to Datang to offer treasures, Dongying spent a lot of money and brought the best treasures from Dongying as a gift to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

After listening to the introduction of Hanoi Whale, Li Chengqian was also very satisfied with these treasures.

After the Hanoi Whale is introduced, these treasures will be taken away by the relevant departments and stored in the treasury. When the emperor thinks of them, they will be used for viewing and playing, or directly as a kind of gift, and rewarded to meritorious officials. favor.

"I'm going to hold a banquet in the palace tonight, and send Tang envoys to Japan to clean up the dust. Officials of the fifth rank and above will attend together." Li Chengqian said.

Others have offered treasures, so I can't be stingy, it's fine if I don't return the gift, I always have to treat someone to a meal, right?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Hanoi Jing and others hurriedly saluted.

"If you have nothing else to do when you send Tang envoys, go back to the post house to rest and get together again tonight." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! When I came to the Tang Dynasty, I found that warships were being built in the coastal area, but I wanted to attack the non-subjects. In order to show my loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, I would like to be a pawn of the Tang Dynasty." Hanoi Jing said.

He didn't know how to ask Li Chengqian about the rumors that Datang was going to send troops to attack Dongpu, and whether the other party really had this plan, so he planned to take a side-by-side look at Li Chengqian's tone.

Li Chengqian naturally heard the implication of Hanoi Whale. In fact, he really had plans to send troops to attack Dongpu, but the current conditions did not allow it. Otherwise, he would have crossed the sea to attack Dongpu as early as after the Battle of Baijiangkou.

"My Tang Dynasty has not had any ministers to crusade recently. Shipbuilding in coastal cities is for maritime trade. Our Tang Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, such as tea and porcelain."

"I hope that Datang's products can be traded with other countries. Datang is willing to trade with all countries in the world, and develop together in friendship and prosperity." Li Chengqian said.

After Dongying sent Tang envoys to hear this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, not just to attack them.
