Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 54 Baekje Messenger

"His injury is not serious!" Li Chengqian looked at the Baekje envoy and said.

"Although his injury was serious, it was not a fatal injury. His companion died because of him before, and our people protected him later, so there is no serious injury." Cheng Wu said firmly.

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, because he was afraid that the stick in front of him would die of serious injuries, and he didn't know who to turn to to find out the situation.

Killing the envoy from Fanbang near the generals of the Tang Dynasty was a very bad incident. No matter what the other party's purpose was, Li Chengqian could not just sit idly by for the sake of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness! The Baekje envoy asked to see His Majesty! He said that he had something important to report to His Majesty, but I didn't dare to make decisions on my own, so I came here to report to His Majesty." The imperial physician came to Li Chengqian and said.

"It's just right! I have something to ask him, so bring him here, and I will talk about it later." Li Chengqian said.

Cheng Wuting immediately stepped forward and brought the Baekje envoy to Li Chengqian.

"I am the envoy from King Uija of Baekje, and I have important matters to report to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty." The envoy of Baekje said in fluent Chinese.

"You can tell me about any important matters, and I will tell His Majesty, but before that, I have something to ask you." Li Chengqian said.

"Who are you?" The Baekje envoy looked Li Chengqian up and down, but he didn't know who the person in front of him was.

What Li Chengqian was wearing was just an ordinary silk thing. People who didn't know Li Chengqian, judging from his attire, thought he was a dude from a high-ranking official's family.

"Bold! The noble man in front of you is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If you dare to look around with your eyeballs, see if I don't dig them out." Cheng Wuting scolded.

The Baekje envoy was shocked!Tong Tong fell to his knees and said, "Park Kechang, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Baekje, pays his respects to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Shang Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty!"

"First of all, tell me what's going on, so that you can travel thousands of miles to Chang'an to report to His Majesty. Also, who are the people who want to kill you?" Li Chengqian asked.

"His Royal Highness! Goguryeo and Silla colluded to block the way for our Baekje to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and sent troops to attack our Baekje. That's why my King Yici sent me here to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty."

"The people who chased me were sent by Goguryeo and Silla. They were afraid that I would borrow reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, so they intercepted and killed me on the way."

"I didn't dare to take the big road, so I had to take the small road all the way to Chang'an. Who knows, I was discovered by them, and then I was murdered. If it weren't for His Highness's guards and this general who came here, I'm afraid I would have died by their swords ” said the Baekje envoy.

"Nonsense, Silla belongs to Datang, and it is a vassal state of Datang. How can it be possible to attack Baekje, which is also attached to Datang, and how can it be possible to unite with Goguryeo." Datang is a small country, so it is impossible for him to believe that Silla will unite with Goguryeo, which is hostile to Datang.

But Li Chengqian believed it. Silla was ambitious and had long wanted to destroy Baekje and Goguryeo to unify the peninsula.

It's just that Silla's strength alone can't eliminate its two neighbors, so Silla surrendered to Datang and used Datang's hands to destroy Baekje and Goguryeo.

And when the main force of the Tang Dynasty was transferred to other places to fight, it annexed the old land of Baekje and Goguryeo, and completed the great cause of unifying the peninsula.

Then, Silla Xiaoguo pretended to admit his mistakes to Datang!Datang had to deal with Tubo at that time, and Tang Gaozong saw that Silla had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, so he no longer pursued the matter.

"What you said is true?" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes! Foreign ministers dare not lie to His Highness the Crown Prince!" Park Kechang said sincerely.

"I believe you! Goguryeo and Silla are too presumptuous! I must read their books in front of my father and send troops to destroy them." Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The Baekje envoy burst into tears of gratitude!Baekje is finally saved, and he has lived up to the trust of King Yija of Baekje.

At this time, Xue Rengui and Wang Fangyi happened to return after hunting.

"Let's go, go back to the palace!" Seeing Xue Rengui and the two came back, Li Chengqian greeted everyone to go back to the palace. He doesn't have the mood to hunt now.

The brigade lined up a guard of honor and escorted Prince Li Chengqian back to Chang'an City. Once he returned to the palace, Li Chengqian ordered the Baekje envoy to be settled first, and he went to see His Majesty Li Er in person, and told Li about meeting the Baekje envoy. Second His Majesty's report.

Li Er was also furious after hearing this!Damn Goguryeo dared to stop Baekje from entering the palace, even if he threatened, it would be hard to get rid of his hatred if he didn't destroy Goguryeo!

Li Er felt that Goguryeo was responsible for the whole thing, and that Silla was only fooled by Goguryeo before it attacked Baekje.

But everyone knows that this is Li Er's wishful thinking. The grievances between Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo are no longer just a matter of a day or two.

What's more, Baekje once captured more than 40 cities in Silla. Now that they have the opportunity to take it back, how could Silla let it go.

Li Chengqian is more inclined to Silla's initiative to unite with Goguryeo to attack Baekje, rather than Goguryeo bewitching Silla to attack Baekje.

"Your Majesty! It's winter now, and it's even colder in the north. If you call up soldiers from all over the world, they haven't arrived in Goguryeo. I'm afraid most of them will freeze to death. If that's the case, what can we use to attack Goguryeo?" Chu Suiliang disagreed with Li. Second attack Goguryeo.

"Goguryeo is so rampant! If you don't pay attention to my Tang Dynasty, you dare to openly block the Baekje mission that pays tribute to the Tang Dynasty. If I don't send troops, won't the world laugh at my great Tang Dynasty and fear it? Danwan is a small country!" Li Er said aggressively.

Even if Goguryeo is not destroyed, Goguryeo must be beaten to the ground to let him know who is the boss, so as not to allow such a small country to be violent.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian knew that it was time for him to go out, and it was really not suitable to send troops to the peninsula now.

"Father! My son thinks what Dr. Chu said is reasonable! We are not ready yet. If we rush to attack Goguryeo, the gain will outweigh the loss! Father, please think again!"

Li Er's face was gloomy, the prince didn't turn to him, but colluded with Chu Suiliang, it's really abominable!But after thinking about it, what the prince said was not unreasonable.

"Then tell me! What should I do?" Li Er asked.

Li Chengqian looked up and saw Li Er's gloomy face, swallowed, feeling a lot of pressure, if he said something bad, he might not have any good fruit to eat.

"Father! We can send a minister to Pyongyang first to warn Goguryeo so that Goguryeo will retreat and stop attacking Baekje. Otherwise, my Tang Dynasty will send troops to attack Goguryeo."

"At the same time, in order to prevent Goguryeo from refusing! I, Tang Dynasty, should make preparations to attack Goguryeo, so that I can send troops to attack Goguryeo next year." Li Chengqian said.

Li Er thinks the prince's suggestion is very good!In this way, the problem of wintering for soldiers can be solved, and time can be freed up for preparation. In this way, the chances of winning the attack on Goguryeo will be a little bit higher.
