Emissary?

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Sent by the imperial court?" ”

"No, it's a foreign country, a messenger who claims to be from the Yamato country, and brings a lot of gifts."

"Yamato?" Li Yuanji was gloomy, isn't this Japan? Little Japan sent an envoy to see him? What kind of routine is this? "Let them in!"

No matter what the Japanese do, since they came with gifts, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, there is no reason to turn people away, right? As for Li Shimin's reaction, go to his reaction, you have the ability to beat me?

The height of the Japanese envoy is very short, only about one meter four, but the height of the Tang people is not high, most people are only about one meter five or six, which may have a certain relationship with nutrition, like Li Yuanji, who is almost one meter eight, is already considered a giant-like height in this era.

Li Yuanji, who was sitting in the tent, was very imposing, and in order to greet the Japanese envoy, Li Yuanji deliberately put on a posture to make people look like a cow breaking and coaxing.

But the effect was really good, the Japanese envoy who was introduced into the tent by Ma Liu, saw Li Yuanji sitting on the chair with a majestic face, and a kingly domineering spirit couldn't help but emanate, and he was a little trembling in fright.

"See the cave of the Yamato Ministry of Things, see the King of Tang Qi! Thank you to His Royal Highness King Qi for taking time out of his busy schedule to meet the ministers, and the ministers will prepare some small gifts, and hope that His Royal Highness the King of Qi will smile! Monobe lowered his head deeply, his eyes always looked at his feet, and his tone was extremely respectful.

Japan and the Central Plains Dynasty as early as the Sui period, but the then Prince Shotoku stupidly wrote a letter to Yang Guang, who had just ascended to the throne of the crown prince, but the angry Yang Guang directly cut off contact with Japan, until later, the Japanese did not know what was going on, so they hurriedly sent someone to apologize, and sent a lot of gifts, which obtained the understanding of the Sui Dynasty, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and the Sui Dynasty was gone.

At the age of fifteen, he followed the elders of the clan to the Tang Dynasty, and through more than ten years of understanding, he not only learned an authentic Chinese dialect, although he listened to some awkwardness, but he still had a thorough understanding of the habits of the Tang people.

Bebe Cave made a gift list with a very good eye, and after taking the gift list, Li Yuanji glanced at it roughly, and was faintly relieved in his heart, secretly saying that the Japanese would come to things.

Sixty pieces of gold, 100 pieces of silver, 300 pieces of bronze, 10,000 pieces of grain, 20,000 pieces of coarse cloth, and 5,000 pieces of silk.

I don't need gold, silver, copper or anything, at least not for the time being, food and cloth are the most scarce goods, and they are also what Qi needs the most.

Li Yuanji couldn't help but squint at the cave in the lower part of the object, this product was obviously prepared.

"What happened when the envoy of the lower kingdom came to the Qi country of this king?" After receiving the gift, Li Yuanji's mood was also slightly better, and he asked in a not so serious tone, but even so, it could make people feel Li Yuanji's contempt for this.

"The minister has heard of the prestige of His Royal Highness King Qi for a long time, and has long had the idea of visiting, but the preparation of the gift is a little insufficient, so this matter has been delayed for the time being, but when the gift is ready, His Royal Highness has led the troops to the north, His Royal Highness has won more with less, and won a big victory, and the minister is also very excited, but he learned that His Royal Highness's Qi State was sealed in the north, so he quickly organized people to transfer gifts to this point, in order to be able to see His Highness's holy face and witness the grand occasion of Qi State!" The cave of the Ministry of Things continued to lower his head, don't stop me, let me blow for a while, King Qi will talk about it.

Li Yuanji grinned slightly, wanting to laugh, but he was afraid that it would affect his majesty, so he pointed to the cave in the object department and scolded: "Your Chinese teacher must be trying to harm you, otherwise how could he not tell you where the word "sheng" should be used? ”

"Huh?" The cave of the object department was suddenly stunned, why don't you play cards according to the routine?

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, you can ......" just wanted to say it directly, but found that it was not suitable, Li Yuanji hurriedly changed his words: "If you have a fart, hold it, don't come to those vain things with this king, if you want to listen to these compliments, can you take your turn?" ”

"Yes! Be! Xiao Chen ...... "The deer stumbled in the cave of the Monobe cave, and his breathing suddenly accelerated, and for a moment, he suddenly felt as if he was a little short of oxygen, but when he thought of his purpose, he could only grit his teeth and say: "The minister wants to trade with His Highness on this trip." ”

"Commerce?" Li Yuanji smiled: "You can go directly to Chang'an for trade, this king is not connected to the sea here, and the second is not the capital, and he is not qualified to trade with you people, let alone have the energy!" ”

"Xiao Chen...... "I don't know what to say.

It is true that the feudal country is not allowed to trade with foreign countries, which will be recognized by the imperial court as a bad intention, and the consequences are terrifying.

But after thinking about it for a while, the cave of Wubu still found the king of Qi, but did not go to Li Shimin in Chang'an.

Because he knew that even if he went to Chang'an, it would be impossible for him to agree to his request, but it was the King of Qi here, and it was very likely that he would agree.

As for the cost, this is no longer within the scope of consideration of the Cave of Things, whatever price they can come up with, it is acceptable, and for them, there is no worse result than this.

"The minister heard that His Highness has a divine weapon in his hand, so he wants to buy some from His Highness."

"Don't you say that this king doesn't know that there is a divine weapon in his hand......" Li Yuanji smiled weirdly, this little Japan really has some purpose, but there are many magic weapons in the hands of this king, if you don't say it, the ghost knows which one you want?

"That's it...... The one the size of a wine bottle, and the one that can hurt people with a little fire. "Monobe cave described as best he can, he has not seen the real thing, but he has heard people talk about it.

However, this is the core secret of the entire Datang, and it took a lot of money to finally learn the result from countless people, Datang has indeed researched a magic weapon, only the size of the palm of a hand, but it can overturn a whole piece of enemies within dozens of steps.

If you can get this kind of magic weapon, the Wubu family can make a comeback, and after several twists and turns, it finally learned that in addition to the Chang'an court, the king of Qi, who had been at odds with the court before, also knew how to make this thing.

Only then did he hurriedly inquire about the news of the Qi State in the north, and specially prepared 10,000 stone of grain, 20,000 horses of coarse cloth, and 5,000 horses of silk.

There is nothing vain in the gifts, all of them are the most scarce in the Qi country, and the bronze can be used to make money, and the price is higher if you sell it directly.

With such a sincere preparation, I still don't have much confidence in the cave of the Ministry of Things, but this step must still be taken, otherwise the longer the time drags on, who still knows about your Monobe family?

"You said that thing!" Li Yuanji smiled slightly, it seems that the little devil's news is still quite well-informed, and he can even inquire about the grenade.

While teasing the cave of the object, he secretly felt sad for Li Shimin, this matter really did not leak out by himself, and Li Shimin would never take the initiative to leak this news, I have to sigh, the bigger the stall, the more difficult it is to manage.

"That's right! Right! It's that thing, Xiao Chen is willing to pay a lot of money to buy it......" The cave of the Ministry of Things nodded with joy on his face, and hurriedly put out his own conditions before Li Yuanji refused.

"Why did this king sell it to you?" Li Yuanji looked at the cave of the object and asked.

Wubu was stunned for a moment, a little flustered, this kind of treasure, Li Yuanji naturally couldn't find any reason to sell it to himself, after all, there is basically no money here, what he can give, he is not rare, but it may attract the suppression of the imperial court, or even a military attack, for Li Yuanji there is no benefit.

But......

The Monobe family really needs this kind of divine weapon......

Fortunately, the Monobe cave was only flustered for a while, and then he regained his composure, thinking as much as possible about the wording he had prepared earlier, and the current situation of the Monobe family.

"The minister can guarantee that the news will never fall into the ears of outsiders, and His Royal Highness can make a price, as long as the minister comes out, the minister will never make a counteroffer." Monobe Cave once again reaffirmed its position.

But it seems that this is not enough, and for Li Yuanji, this matter may not matter.

But the Monobe family is about to perish, thinking that they were also super wealthy families who could control the imperial court back then, only because of the defeat, the leader of the monobe Shouya died in battle, the monobe family lost everything, the clansmen were wantonly killed, and they could only flee in a hurry, and some of them went incognito, or even changed their names, and ran to the ravine to be an ordinary common man.

The other part, that is, the vein of the cave of the Ministry of Things, they are unwilling to fail, they are not willing to be endlessly hunted down, they want to turn the tables, but after waiting for so many years, they have never found enough opportunities to turn the tables.

From grandfather to father, and from father to his own generation, the wishes of three generations have finally waited for a glimmer of light.

In any case, I must buy this kind of divine weapon, which is the hope of the Monobe family to turn the tables, and it is also the last hope.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, the family of the minister was decades ago, and it was also a family calling for wind and rain in the Yamato country......" The Monobe Cave tells the glory of the Monobe family back then, and how the Monobe family has been suppressed and hunted down over the years, the story is very moving, but the Monobe Cave is also very clear, those have nothing to do with Li Yuanji, he doesn't care about his family's past and present, or even the future.

"As long as His Royal Highness agrees to sell this divine weapon to the minister, after the minister overthrows the Su I family, I am willing to honor His Royal Highness as the Tang Emperor of Yamato Kingdom, and he can give half of the property of Yamato Kingdom to His Highness." The Monobe cave gave him the greatest price he could pay, provided that they could return to their throne and ascend to the throne of the Emperor.

For a man whose two families are dying, it is worth it to take out half of the country's property and the false name of a Tang Emperor.

"You bullshit emperor I'm not interested, but I'm interested in another thing......"
