"The minister King Xuan Ce has seen His Highness." Wang Xuance saluted and said.

Li You said: "Lord Wang, let me ask you a question, do you think it is difficult to fight Goguryeo or the Japanese slave state?" ”

Wang Xuance said: "Of course it's Goguryeo." ”

Li You shook his head and said, "You still don't know about the Japanese slave people, the people in this country are much more difficult to deal with than the Goguryeo people. I can't tell you exactly why, I can't tell you for a while, let me tell you this, you have to treat the Japanese slave kingdom as an enemy several times stronger than Goguryeo, remember to remember, don't underestimate the enemy.

After you go this time, you should learn more about the situation in the Japanese slave country, and the more information you have, the better, and the more detailed the better, in short, you must not underestimate the enemy. ”

Li You used the words 'don't underestimate the enemy' twice in a row to remind Wang Xuance not to be careless.

Li You, who is familiar with history, knows that although the Central Plains nation is strong, it has never really conquered the Japanese slave country, and the Mongolian army of Genghis Khan, who swept the world, was also defeated in the war against the Japanese slave country, and 100,000 troops were buried at the bottom of the sea.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is extremely strong, and people basically do not know about the Japanese slave country far overseas, the government and the opposition all think that the Japanese slave country is just an island country with a small land, and they generally hold a contemptuous mentality, and the idea of underestimating the enemy is inevitable.

It is for this reason that Li Youcai wants to go to the Japanese slave country in person, saying that it is for his son, but it is just a joke.

"The prince is not wrong."

"How could the prince be wrong?!"

This sentence is now a consensus between the government and the opposition.

Wang Xuance was extremely convinced of Li You, and when he saw that Li You attached so much importance to the Japanese slave country, he said: "Lord, the minister knows, and the minister will definitely attach great importance to the work on the situation of the Japanese slave country." ”

Seeing that Wang Xuance paid attention, Li You nodded and said, "That's good." ”

Wang Xuance said: "Lord Wang, can you bring that Tuoba Zilanchen?" ”

Li You said: "Okay, you take her, learn as much as you can about her situation, don't abuse her, it may come in handy at a critical moment." ”

Then, Li You called the three young officers, Li Jinxing, Cheng Wuting, and Wang Fangyi, and said to them: "The three of you will follow Lord Wang to Baekje, and then each of you will take a detachment of the Flying Tiger Army and enter the Goguryeo New Army, which is being trained there, as a supervisor. After you go, you must go deep into the troops, learn as much as possible about the situation of the troops, do a good job in relations with the generals of the new army, and prevent mutinies in the troops during battles. ”

After Wang Xuance and others set off, Li You also began to prepare, and the date of the expedition was set, on April 25.

On this day, Pei Dilan came to Li You, and he said: "Lao Li, if you go on this expedition, I will go with you." ”

Every once in a while, Peidilan sent a telegram to his father Caliph on the situation in Chang'an, and the caliph was satisfied with the results achieved by Peidilan in Chang'an, as well as his own progress. The Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Uslav State was a joint naval and army operation, and the Caliph hoped that Peidilan would participate in the whole process in order to learn from the advanced combat experience of the Tang Dynasty.

Li You smiled: "No problem, I'm worried that I don't have a companion on the road." However, you landlubber, be prepared to get seasick at sea, that is not a pleasant taste. ”

Pei Dilan smiled: "You don't know this, I have been familiar with water since I was a child." ”

"That's good, you get ready, and we'll be off soon." Li You said.

Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Li You said: "Qi Qi Jian Guo, the minister Li You is trusted by his father and the emperor, and has always held the royal gold medal that I came to in person. Now His Royal Highness is in charge of the country, and all the power in the world belongs to the prison country, so the minister now hands over this royal gold medal to His Royal Highness the prison country. ”

After speaking, he held the gold medal in both hands and held it high.

The ministers did not understand for a moment what this meant, and did not this give up the power to act cheaply?

However, they knew that Li Chengqian and Li You had always been embarrassed, and it was estimated that they were acting again, so no one said anything, and they were all calmly observing.

Li Chengqian waved his hand, and Fu Lian stepped forward to take the gold medal in Li You's hand.

Li Chengqian said: "Li You, the king of the northwest, has won the trust of his father, and Li You has never failed to live up to this trust.

Now, Lone is the prisoner of the country, and he trusts Li You as always. Today, Gu Te issued an edict to grant Li You, the king of the northwest, the right to act cheaply, and all my subjects of the Tang Dynasty, seeing Li You as if seeing the Lone King, the order he issued is like the edict of the Lone King, and all the subjects are respected.

This edict of King Lone was recorded by the historian, recorded by Menxia Province and Zongzheng Temple, and published in the "Datang Daily". In the lifetime of a lonely person, this decree will always be in effect. ”

This is the king of the word.

The ministers now understood that in the past, Li You held the imperial gold medal, and it can be said that his status was above Li Chengqian, and now he handed over the imperial gold medal given by Li Shimin, which represents his respect for Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian's issuance of this edict is tantamount to reaffirming the unbreakable partnership between him and Li You.

According to the ceremony, Li You modestly asked Li Chengqian to withdraw the edict three times, and Li Chengqian reiterated the edict three times, and Li You had to reluctantly accept the edict.

The ministers were all in favor of such an arrangement, which indicated that there would be a long-term and stable court environment in the future, and the ministers would no longer have to bother with how to intrigue.

"Whoa." The ministers erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Walking out of the Tai Chi Palace, Li You looked at the sunny sky, not to mention how good the mood was, he finally achieved his goal for many years, from now on he will no longer worry about fighting for the court, he can do things according to his own ideas as he likes, and the daily tedious affairs in the court, with Li Chengqian to worry about, he can easily enjoy the food and live a happy life.

"Hahaha." Seeing that there was no one around, Li You couldn't help but laugh proudly.

The white tiger and the black panther who followed him couldn't help but think of the scene back then, when the prince was only a 16-year-old boy, and his expression after being praised for his advice in the court was also like this.

Baihu said jokingly: "Lord Wang, keep a low profile. ”

Li You smiled: "Does Lao Tzu still need to be low-key in the future?" Ha ha. ”

"Hahahaha." The white tiger and the black panther laughed together.

……

Towering over the Yamato Plain, Mt. Incense, Mt. Ernari and Mt. Mu, surrounded by a beautiful castle, this is Fujiwarakyo, the capital of the Uno Kingdom.

Fujiwara-kyo is about one-tenth the size of Chang'an Castle (Fujiwara-kyo covers an area of 2.1 km from east to west and 3.2 km from north to south, and Chang'an Castle covers an area of 9.7 km from east to west and 8.6 km from north to south), with Fujiwara Palace in the center, covering an area of about 925 m from east to west and 907 m from north to south.

Fujiwara-kyo was built by Emperor Tenmu after learning the Chinese jobo system, with obvious characteristics of Central Plains architecture. There are a total of 12 main roads in the north and south, and the east and west are divided into two capitals (4 squares each) centered on the "Suzaku Street". Among them, "Suzaku Road" is named after the "Suzaku Street" in imitation of Chang'an, and there is also the Daji Hall that imitates the Taiji Palace.

Like the Taiji Hall in Chang'an, the Great Pole Hall is the place where the Japanese slaves went to court and held ceremonies.

On this morning, the ministers all walked to the gate of the Daigoku Hall to wait for the court, and an official wearing a dark purple court robe (the symbol of the highest rank of the 12th rank of the crown) sat on a chapel carried by four servants, followed by four samurai with swords, and swaggered to the gate of the Daigoku Hall.

When the ministers saw this man, their faces showed fear.
