"The envoy of the Japanese State Hui Ri, meet His Royal Highness the respected Prince of the Tang Dynasty." Hui Ri, who had not seen him for several days, almost lay on the ground in a posture of five days off, greeting him in a very humble tone, and no longer dared to pretend to be forced, obviously the last waterboarding was not light.

Li Chengqian made a very innocent expression to the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xiaogong, and then said to the little devil Huiri: "Get up, this palace is not used to letting people talk on their stomachs." ”

Because it was a negotiation with the Japanese people, and the location was in Zuowu Houwei, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xiaogong could have a little to do with it, so the two idle and bored old men came to join in the fun.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Hui Ri first thanked him, and then obediently got up, and glanced at Li Chengqian with a wincing.

When he saw the sunspot and Wu Chen behind Li Chengqian, the tragic experience of being poured into a water toad suddenly appeared from the bottom of his heart, and the whole person couldn't help but shudder.

"Find something about this palace, now you can talk about it." Hui Ri's cowardice made Li Chengqian pout secretly in his heart, and said indifferently.

"This ......" Hui Ri glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xiaogong with his eyes, and did not speak, as if he had some secret to say, afraid that people would know.

The poor guy was thrown into Zuowu Houwei by Li Chengqian just half a month after he came to Datang, Li Xiaogong, the eldest grandson Wuji, these famous figures, he only heard his name but did not see him, otherwise he would never have made such a rude move.

"Say what you want, go back if you don't want to say it." Li Chengqian did not explain the identities of the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xiaogong, but just said a word to Hui Ri disdainfully and prepared to get up and leave.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the foreign minister said, please wait a minute, be sure to wait a minute." Being able to see Li Chengqian was the result of Hui Ri's hard work for several days, how could he give up.

"Your Highness, although the Japanese mission has ill intentions, it has a deep relationship after all, so ...... Why don't you sit down and listen to what he has to say, how! The eldest grandson Wuji was very cooperative and gently stopped Li Chengqian.

"Yes, the foreign minister does have important matters to discuss with His Royal Highness, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to listen to the foreign minister's words." Hui Ri looked at Li Chengqian pitifully, and said almost pleadingly.

Li Chengqian also felt that there was nothing to pretend to be with this little devil, he had already made the girl almost like a grandson, and there was no fun in it, so he nodded and sat back on the chair according to the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji, and at the same time motioned to the little devil Huiri, it can be said.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then, those exquisite weapons, do you have a chance to buy some of them?" The expression on Huiri's face seemed to be open, and he gritted his teeth in a word.

The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth pulled out a mocking smile, and he said lightly: "What, now you can set the purchase quantity?" Last time, your envoy said he would go back and say goodbye. ”

Hui Ri was stunned for a while, and after a long time, he said worriedly: "The foreign minister wants to buy a batch privately, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Buying privately? If you want it, this palace can give you a set of knives and arrows, you don't have to bother to buy it, this thing this palace can afford. Li Chengqian pretended to be confused, and motioned to Li Xiaogong, who wanted to ask questions, not to speak.

Of course, buying in private will not be Huiri himself to buy, Li Chengqian knows very well, but since it is a talk, it must be like talking, even if he is very clear about the other party's purpose, he must pretend not to know, so that he can better grasp the initiative.

Moreover, everything today was also expected by Li Chengqian, and he had already made arrangements for everything today when he was negotiating with Inougami Mitaku.

The set of knives and arrows that Wu Chen showed to Inougami Mita was given to the little devil as a gift by Li Chengqian.

At the same time, Li Chengqian also said that the royal family of the Japanese Kingdom would buy countless Tang Dynasty ordnance and prepare to equip the army.

In this way, Hui Ri, a retainer of the Su I clan, will naturally feel the crisis, because the powerful Shu Ming Emperor is not in the interests of Su I Ezo, and even the strong Shu Ming is likely to kill the Su I family to show his bravery, after all, a big family with power in the government and the opposition is not liked by the royal family.

Now that Hui Ri has really bitten the hook, what Li Chengqian has to do at this time is to pretend to be confused, pretend not to understand everything in the country, and let things ferment slowly until the day when the war breaks out in Japan.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Minister appreciates your generosity, but...... The number of foreign ministers needed is a lot, not two pieces. "Anything is the most difficult in the first sentence, after Hui Ri said that he wanted to buy weapons, the whole person was much more relaxed, and he spoke a lot more happily.

"Not one or two? What do you mean. Li Chengqian continued to pretend to be confused.

"Dear Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what the foreign minister means is that no matter how many ordnance Inougami Mita buys, the foreign minister needs the same amount as him." Hui Ri said confidently, as if he was quite confident in his financial resources.

"If this palace is not wrong, you are a retainer of the Su I clan, right? Do you want to do this......" Li Chengqian finally stopped pretending to be confused, and when it came to this, he couldn't pretend to be confused anymore.

"No, no, no, your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have misunderstood, the Su I clan will never be disobedient." Hui Ri shook his head firmly and said seriously: "This is just self-preservation, self-preservation." ”

"Self-preservation? Su I strongly supported Shu Ming's superiority, saying that self-preservation is a bit self-deceptive! "Li Chengqian is 'confused' again.

"Your Royal Highness, you don't know that although the head of the family supports the emperor's ascension, the emperor is now about to fly all the birds, and the good bow is hidden. Therefore, if Inugami Mita buys back a large amount of ordnance this time, the future of the Soga clan is worrying. As he spoke, Hui Ri's eyes turned red, as if he had been wronged.

"This is an independent country, regarding the struggle between the royal family and the Su family, although my Tang Dynasty is the suzerain, it is not good to interfere too deeply, so I am afraid that this palace will not be able to agree to your request."

Li Chengqian's heart was about to overturn, but in order not to make Huiri suspicious, he still didn't agree.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if Inugami Mita buys back a large number of ordnance, the Soga clan will be wiped out soon! Your Royal Highness, the Tang Dynasty is the suzerainty of the Wa Kingdom, and you can't sit idly by while such a tragedy happens! Your Highness! ”

Li Chengqian's refusal made Huiri a little desperate, and no one in the Japanese mission knew the situation of the Japanese state better than him.

Although Emperor Shu Ming was superficially compatible with Su I's Ezo monarchs and ministers, in fact, as long as there was a chance, Shu Ming was afraid that he would immediately kill and exterminate Su I's family.

After all, no emperor would like subordinates with higher prestige than himself, which would make the emperor very faceless, and likewise, it would also make the emperor feel very unhappy.
