In fact, the reason why Watanabe Yuma could say such a thing.

He not only misjudged the status of Japan in Li Shimin's heart,

but also seriously misjudged the weight of the national teacher in Li Shimin's heart.

After all, Japan has enjoyed many "favorable treatments" in the Tang Dynasty during this period of time.

Under normal circumstances, as long as they do not do too much,

as long as they bring out the identity of "foreign envoys", Li Shimin will treat them leniently.

This also led to the fact that even if the people in Chang'an City were oppressed,

they did not dare to report to the government, because they knew that this move was useless.

And Watanabe Yuma originally thought that even if the national teacher had a noble status,

it would not be possible to override His Majesty the Emperor of Tang. After all, Li Shimin had the final say in the Tang Dynasty.

As long as Li Shimin was happy, no one needed to be taken seriously.

However, the facts were just the opposite.

Hearing what Watanabe Yuma said,

Li Shimin's expression instantly turned cold,

with a smile on his face, he asked: "Are you threatening me?"

Li Shimin thought of how he had tried his best to "take care" of these foreigners during this period,

in order to show the magnanimity of a great country and promote the progress of exchanges between the two sides.

But now seeing the ugly face of the Japanese,

he suddenly felt that his kindness was wasted, and he couldn't help laughing.

He knew clearly in his heart that he had to choose between Japan and the national teacher.

Then, his face sank, and he continued in a cold voice:

"You Japanese dogs, go where you came from, and get out of my Tang Dynasty now!"

Li Shimin's angry eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing straight at Watanabe Yuma.

Watanabe Yuma panicked all of a sudden,

He didn't understand what mistake he had made that caused Li Shimin to suddenly become furious.

But he still suppressed his fear, nodded and bowed, and said flatteringly:

"Your Majesty, there may be some misunderstandings between us, but Japan will never have any ideas about the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin was not moved at all, and looked at him coldly,

shouted: "I said get out! Don't you understand!"

Watanabe Yuma was obviously stunned for a moment, and then,

there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes, but he didn't dare to attack,

so he had to lead people away in shame.

Li Shimin looked at the figure of the Japanese and snorted coldly.

He had made up his mind to take back all the silks and satins and some technologies given to Japan, and these Japanese people would never take a hair.

Then, Li Shimin turned his eyes to the Tibetans on the side,

and said: "National Master, what about these people?"

He now understood that although he had been to the dynasties of later generations,

and knew that the Tang Dynasty would eventually fall,

but he could not imagine the specific details at all.

Only through the Imperial Master can we understand the real reason for the decline of the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing Li Shimin's words,

Tanzeng Wangjie, the Tibetan envoy, hurriedly stepped forward,

respectfully saluted Li Fan, with a flattering smile on his face,

and said very sincerely:

"Master Imperial Master, we Tibetans are not as ambitious as the Japanese. We really want to become friends with the Tang Dynasty and grow together."

Tanzeng Wangjie's eyes were full of flattery for Li Fan.

Even if he was a fool, he could see it now.

Li Shimin's decision was largely influenced by the Imperial Master in front of him.

He had to please the Imperial Master in order to get as many benefits as possible for Tubo.

Li Fan glanced at Tenzin Wangjie,

"You can't draw Pokémon either."

Hearing this,

Tenzin Wangjie suddenly became anxious, his eyes widened,

and asked anxiously:

"Why is this? Tubo has no intention of invading the Tang Dynasty at all!"

These days, he has truly felt the magic and power of Pokémon.

If he can't bring Pokémon back to Tubo this time,

he can imagine that it will never be possible to surpass the Tang Dynasty, let alone expand the territory.

Li Fan had no expression on his face and said coldly:

"No reason, I just don't want to sell it to you, is there a problem?"

Tenzeng Wangjie still wanted to fight for it,

and quickly turned to look at Li Shimin,

and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to marry a princess, even if Tubo is willing to exchange a large number of cattle, sheep and horses for Pokémon, isn't it okay?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin glanced at Li Fan and saw that the latter had no expression at all,

and then said: "Go back to where you came from."

Seeing this, Tenzin Wangjie sighed helplessly,

and had to take people away, and his steps seemed heavy and unwilling when he left.

Seeing that everyone had gone far away,

Li Shimin frowned slightly and asked with a worried look:

"Master, is this really a good idea?"

"In this way, it will not only increase unnecessary enemies, but also make the greatTang is surrounded by enemies. "

He felt that his previous method was the best solution at present,

but out of trust in the national teacher, he chose to believe that the national teacher had his own reasons.

Li Fan looked at Li Shimin with a firm gaze,

then patiently said:

"Your Majesty, is peace something that can be achieved by sending some things?"

"We are born between heaven and earth, and we should be strong and brave,"

"Protect our rivers and mountains, and protect our people! How can we exchange the so-called peace for mere items!"

"Well said!" Not far away, Wei Zheng strode over in a bright red gown and shouted loudly.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng in surprise,

although he was curious about what his eye-catching outfit meant,

but he still suppressed his curiosity and said: "Wei Aiqing, why are you here? "

Wei Zheng saluted Li Fan respectfully,

Then, with a face full of resentment, he said in an excited tone:

"Your Majesty, the national teacher said it well!"

"We should defend the dignity of the Tang Dynasty with our blood and build the glory of the Tang Dynasty with our courage. How can we use things to make peace and humiliate the prestige of the Tang Dynasty!"

Hearing this,

Li Shimin's blood surged up all of a sudden,

The national teacher said that I have no problem, why do you, Wei Zheng, an old man, also join in the fun!

Li Shimin curled his lips,

and continued in a yin-yang tone:

"Then I want to hear what Duke Zheng has to say? "

Wei Zheng looked at Li Fan,

and saw the latter nodded with a smile to show his approval, and he immediately felt confident.

Li Fan felt that there were still people in the Tang Dynasty who could see the reality, and Wei Zheng was one of them.

Then, with the approval of the national teacher,

Wei Zheng shook his sleeves heroically, and his movements were open and closed.

The momentum was as if he was about to go to the battlefield to command thousands of troops and horses with full firepower!

Li Shimin saw Wei Zheng's exaggerated movements and couldn't help curling his lips again.

"Your Majesty, let me talk about the economy."

"When the Han Dynasty was first established, in order to seek peace on the border, the policy of marriage was adopted with the Huns, and a large amount of money and goods were sent. "

"But what was the result? The Huns were greedy and endless, and they asked for more every year, and the Han Dynasty's economy was greatly affected by it! "

"The taxes on the people were also increased, making people's lives difficult and miserable! ”

“Now, Your Majesty, you also think so, thinking that you can exchange for peace and friendship. However, how can these small countries be satisfied? They will only regard the generosity of the Tang Dynasty as weakness and will certainly ask for excessive demands!”

“In the long run, the wealth of the Tang Dynasty will continue to flow out, and the Tang Dynasty’s economy will be seriously affected. The products produced by the hard work of the people will all go into the pockets of other countries. How can the development of our Tang Dynasty continue!!!”

Hearing this,

Li Shimin’s anger "swooped up",

clenched his fists, and said loudly and angrily:

“Today is different from the past. The national strength of the Tang Dynasty is prosperous. I give technical treasures to the surrounding small countries to show the generosity and benevolence of the Tang Dynasty and make them respect and submit to it! As for the saying of excessive demands, I will weigh and control it myself! "

Wei Zheng saw that Li Shimin was still stubborn,

turned his head and looked at the national teacher, Li Shimin also looked at him expectantly,

he firmly believed that the national teacher must agree with his idea.

However, Li Fan lowered his head slightly, sighed and said:

"Your Majesty, the people behind did not grasp it and played too much..."

"The economy is in recession, the people are living in poverty, displaced, and have great resentment. "

Hearing this, Li Shimin was shocked, his mouth slightly opened, and his eyes revealed an unbelievable look.
