Chapter 419: Instant Success
Li Shimin snorted coldly, and didn't look at this Dou Lu Kuan.
"From now on, the Ministry of Rites will not meddle in the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, Baekje, and Silla." Li Shimin said lightly.
At this time, it was the early stage of Zhenguan, and it was not yet the scene of all countries coming to the dynasty in the Tang Dynasty.
Because the Ministry of Rites actually does not have many foreign-related matters, if there is no Silla, Baekje and Wa Kingdom, this Ministry of Rites will really have nothing to do except for some Hu people to deal with.
Dou Lukuan was speechless, but he didn't dare to refute at this time, but he was busy saying, "Oh." β
Li Shimin immediately said: "The winning one is called Hei Zhi Changzhi, I know that Chen Zhengtai is a guy, there is Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang by his side, they are very powerful, but this black tooth is Changzhi, but it is the first time I have heard of it, how can there be so many brave people around Chen Zhengtai?" β
Fang Xuanling, who was standing behind Li Shimin, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, actually...... This is also understandable, there are many talents in this world, but unfortunately, Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have it. Chen Zhengtai is a person, don't look at the usual idle and idle, but he is quite able to understand people, this is ...... It's always an eye-opener. β
Li Shimin nodded immediately, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, it's really eye-opening." β
The next moment, Li Shimin cheered up: "I entrusted the matter of Baekje to Chen Zhengtai, but I don't know if Chen Zhengtai can do what he said well after this competition, if it can be done, it will be beneficial for a thousand years." β
Regarding this point, in fact, Fang Xuanling and others have heard about it for a long time, and because of this, they are quite unhappy about such a major change in national policy.
In fact, this is also very understandable, the tributary system has been in place for many years, and there has been no change for so many years, and the vassal state pays tribute, and the imperial court gives enough rewards, and everyone is well, and there will be no trouble between each other.
But......
Obviously, this practice today may affect the interests of many people.
On the surface, this is a simple tributary system, but in reality, there is a lot of turbulence in it.
Actually, to put it bluntly, behind any rules? There is a conveyance of benefits.
Like what...... When the Tang envoys came, they were often on a huge scale? Such a huge scale, in addition to being a tribute to the emperor? In fact, there are a lot of specialties about the country? It was delivered to many ministers of the court.
But because it's a specialty, it's a rarity? Actually, this thing is really worth a lot? A thousand-tempered, the most high-quality sword, can be described as priceless.
But once like the Chen family? Ask for a direct trade route, and the result will be different, which means large-scale exchange, exchange of knowledge? So what was originally a precious treasure? Because of the large amount of input? It becomes worthless.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Dou Lu Kuan is against this? Not without reason.
Of course...... Now that Chen Zhengtai is gaining momentum and His Majesty is maverick, naturally no one dares to oppose it.
And for Fang Xuanling, there is nothing wrong with this, just change it, try it, there is nothing to do.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this time, Chen Zhengtai, who was in a good mood, had invited three Tang envoys to the public mansion.
He opened his mouth very politely: "Hey, this battle is really a fluke." β
Inugami Mita's face turned red, and he was speechless for a while.
Are you Chen Zhengtai sure you didn't mean to hit people when you said this?
I saw Chen Zhengtai say again: "The warriors of the Wa Kingdom are also very good, what is the name of that person?" From a distance, he was as imposing as a rainbow, and the speed of the knife was even more dazzling. Such a warrior is really hard to find. It's a pity that he's dead, and if it weren't, I'd have invited him to have a drink. I, Chen Zhengtai, am the most important hero. β
Mita Inuage: "......"
Are you Chen Zhengtai sure that you are not rubbing salt on other people's wounds?
"Why didn't Brother Inu say anything?" Chen Zhengtai said amiably: "Hey, this competition is over, everyone is still a strip of water, like brothers in a family, the competition is not a fight of life and death, winning or losing is just a trivial matter, don't be so stingy." β
Inugami Mita said with difficulty at this time: "What the Korean public said is right. β
Saying this, my heart hurts!
"Happy." Chen Zhengtai cocked his thumb and said: "I just like to deal with such happy people, haha...... Alright, alright, sit down, the competition is just a game, let's do something important. β
As he spoke, Chen Zhengtai turned his gaze to Fuyuhong.
Fuyu Hong was like meeting a plague god, his eyes were busy and staggered, and he didn't dare to meet Chen Zhengtai's gaze.
Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "Baekje is not bad, come, Brother Buyeo, you Baekje have given me a national letter for the Tang Dynasty, this national book...... I don't see it well, it's just a verbal bowing, how does this seem that Datang and Baekje are like a family? I also have a book from my country here, so you might as well read it first. β
Fuyu Hong's heart had sunk to the bottom at this time, and he had expected that an extremely harsh condition was about to be placed in front of him.
And as a native of Baekje, does he have to bear the responsibility for the survival of Baekje?
It's just that the situation is pressing now...... It seems that there are not many places for him to choose.
So he had no choice but to bow down and say, "Please give me advice." β
Chen Zhengtai took a book from his country and showed it to him, and Fuyu Hong's face was pale at this time, and his eyes seemed to be fixed.
He looked at the contents of the letter with a stiff expression.
The Supervision Yuan was established, and the Imperial History of the Supervision Yuan was stationed by the Tang Dynasty, and all officials were also appointed by the Tang Dynasty Imperial History to supervise the courtiers, point out the mistakes of the Baekje State, and inspect corruption.
This...... Fuyu Hong frowned, this one ...... It was better than he expected.
He continued to look at it, trade, and allowed the Tang Dynasty merchants to come and go at will.
This......
Fuyu Hong breathed a sigh of relief again, he continued to look at it, carved out the port, set up a water village, and allowed the Tang Navy Division to rent, and the rented money was fifty times a year, which was used for the berthing and stationing of the Tang Navy Division. He also promised that if Baekje was in trouble, the Tang Dynasty sailors should immediately assist Baekje to resist foreign invasion.
Even...... If there is an accident in Baekje, the king of Baekje can send a sailor to land and put down the rebellion if he sends an invitation.
Seeing this, Fu Yuhong's expression became weird.
Before the competition, this condition was unacceptable to him.
But now that he has lost the Japanese as a backer, the strength of Datang is far beyond his imagination, and Fuyu Hong actually thinks that such conditions can be described as magnanimous.
He licked his mouth, and when he thought about it, each of these three seemed to be involved in the affairs of Baekje, but when he looked closely, it didn't seem to have really taken away the power of Baekje.
It's just that although he thinks that this condition can be agreed to, he is still determined to bargain!
So he hesitated and said: "To build a water village, and it needs to be zoned for a hundred miles, is it too much for a radius of a hundred miles?" And also...... The Supervisory Yuan wants to review the negligence of the Baekje court, whether it is the fault of the king of Baekje...... Don't be lightly criticized. And here, the attachΓ© of the merchant can be limited by one or two. This chamber ......"
Before Fu Yuhong finished speaking, Chen Zhengtai immediately lowered his face and directly interrupted him: "Where is there so much verbosity? If it doesn't work, then please go back, and then you and I will see each other. β
Chen Zhengtai said very domineering, very polite, very unsparing!
Fuyu Hong was very depressed when he heard it, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart, brother, this is not the old rule, the price is all over the sky, and the money is paid back on the ground, why do you react so much?
Just looking at Chen Zhengtai's tense face, he obviously didn't have the courage to continue grinding with Chen Zhengtai, and said busily: "Okay, good, Cheng, although the lower officials can't completely do this matter, but the change of this national letter can be decided bravely." When the Tang Dynasty and Baekje exchanged credentials, the lower officials could inform the king of Baekje. β
After hearing this, Chen Zhengtai immediately smiled again, and said with great joy: "This is very good, as long as Baekje is willing to agree, exchange the letter of state on this basis, and earnestly implement the content of the letter of state, in order to show the sincerity of my Datang, Datang is willing to release the vast majority of the captives back to Baekje, and your king of Baekje can also escort him back to China, how about it?" β
"This ......" Fuyu Hong heard this, but he was shocked.
The new king has ascended the throne, but you want to invite the new king's father back, what is the matter?
There are no two heavens, and there are no two masters!
So he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, His Royal Highness the King is old, coming to Chang'an is already a long journey, tired of traveling, his age, if he returns to China, I am afraid that it will be bad for the body, if there is any mistake on the way, the lower official can not afford to bear the sin, he is old, he should take care of his life, I think, or stay in Chang'an, enjoy a blessing." β
This means that it is obviously hoped that the Tang Dynasty can raise this poor Taishang King.
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help cursing in his heart, why are all the emperors in the world virtuous, ah, of course, it is not his own teacher who scolds, but others other than his teacher.
Although Chen Zhengtai was very disdainful, he was a smart person, so he said with emotion: "In this case, then I will definitely be the court and give your king a proper placement." β
Fuyu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, although the conditions were not as harsh as imagined, but ...... But it still made him a little worried. Isn't it, this is the first move of Datang to devour Baekje, right?
As for the Silla Tang envoy and Inugami Mita, they also carefully read the contents of the national letter, and their faces changed, and what made him sad was that the Tang Dynasty sailors would finally settle down in that sea area with the help of Baekje!
This means that once the water village there is built, the Tang Dynasty will only need one day and one night to haunt the waters of the Wa Kingdom and Silla, which is obviously unacceptable.
Chen Zhengtai immediately looked at Inugami Mita and said, "Brother Inuage, are you interested in this?" β
Inougami Mita didn't miss Chen Zhengtai a roll of his eyes, and finally showed a little smile on his face and said: "The stakes are very high, and I can't be the master." β
The Silla envoy sent Tang for fear that Chen Zhengtai would come to ask him, so he smiled and said, "Yes, this matter should also be considered in the long term for Silla." β
Chen Zhengtai obviously did not mean to force them to exchange such a national letter, he understood the truth that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he would take Baekje first, and as for the rest, he would slowly figure it out.
Therefore, he said: "In any case, I and you will not fight, and the transaction will not be benevolent, my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, you might as well stay together tonight, have a glass of water and wine, oh, and, the compilation of the news newspaper asked me to intercede, saying that I want to do an interview with the three, this is also to deepen the relationship between the countries and my Datang, so that the military and people of the Tang Dynasty know more about your country, what's wrong?" Guess what I said to Na Chen? I said that this matter is on me, these three envoys to the Tang Dynasty are all my Chen Zhengtai's brothers, and when they look at me, they will also squeeze out time, and they will definitely know everything and say everything. β
As soon as Inugami Mita heard this, his face completely fell, and he couldn't wait to cut Chen Zhengtai simply. It's just an embarrassed dry smile on his face: "What Han Gong said is true." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Two days later, a piece of music was sent up.
Immediately, Chen Zhengtai entered the palace for an audience.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Li Shimin summoned the ministers, but he went to the Wenlou.
Obviously, the Xuanzheng Hall and the Taiji Hall are too solemn, and what they are discussing today is only the content of Chen Zhengtai's recital, and they don't need to be too formal.
Anyway...... This new national policy is all done by the Korean public alone, and if there is any rudeness to the foreign domain, it has nothing to do with Datang.
The ministers arrived at the Wenlou early, and they had already read the letters of state exchanged, and for this reason, the ministers discussed a lot, some did not make suggestions, and some bluntly opposed them.
"Your Majesty, the law of the ancestors......"
Li Shimin glared at the objector: "The law of the ancestors you said is the Sui system, what is the law of Emperor Wen of Sui?" β
The old man who was scolded for a long time was speechless, but it was Zhang Huang, the secretary of Honglu Temple.
At this time, Zhang Huang's eyes widened, and he couldn't do half a sentence.
Sui system Tang Sui, this is the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is the martial law of the Tang Dynasty, it is actually copied from the decrees of the Sui Dynasty.
This national policy for the vassal state was of course inherited from Emperor Wen of Sui.
In fact, what Li Shimin hates most is that someone tells him about the ancestral law.
It really makes sense, my ancestor Li Shimin's surname is Li, not Yang.
When Chen Zhengtai arrived, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai.
There are a lot of people here, but the place is small, Chen Zhengtai got in, touched a lot of people, and few people glared at him, Chen Zhengtai whispered sorry, and finally squeezed up, and saw that Li Shimin was surrounded by people in the middle of the position, so he saluted.
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "The national letter, I have read it, among the ministers, Fang Gong is noncommittal, Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites are very opposed, but the Ministry of Officials is strongly in favor." β
So Chen Zhengtai subconsciously glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji gave him a friendly smile, and his eyes were like, well, we are a family.
Really...... The eldest grandson Wuji is famous for having the opposite sex and no humanity, ah, no, it's famous for only looking at the relationship between good and bad!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
And also
