If there is anything most famous in the Zhenguan Dynasty, it must be the existence of Tang envoys.

The envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty did not refer only to the Dongying Wa Kingdom, but to the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty by all countries that wanted to seek cooperation with the Tang Dynasty, just because the Tang envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty stayed in the Tang Dynasty for a relatively long time, and even a large part of them affected some operations of the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, in the era of the collapse of etiquette and music in the previous life, the Dongying Kingdom was able to retain many customs that only existed in the Central Plains, so it was allowed to send Tang envoys to pass on for thousands of years.

A few years ago, the Tang Dynasty was not stable, so Li Shimin and the civil and military officials put their minds on restoring people's livelihood and repairing the river, with the large amount of funds provided by Li Kong in the past two years and the slaves on the Turkic side in place, the development speed of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be changing with each passing day.

Up to now, the entire Guanzhong area has initially solved the problem of flooding, and basically ensured that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment.

The reputation of the imperial capital Chang'an, the world's first city, also began to spread to the world, and the envoys of Silla and Baekje had arrived in Chang'an last year, but they didn't know what Li Kong had taken away, after all, he was in Changle County at that time, and he didn't pay attention to what happened in the court.

Even if Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi wanted to tell him, he would choose to avoid it, in addition to really not wanting to be bothered by the world, just to reverse his impression in Li Shimin's heart.

After all, you, a belittled person, still care so much about what the court wants to do? Well, I'm sorry, in this era when the emperor is the boss, Li Shimin's mood directly determines Li Kong's life and death, so he decisively chose to admit it.

It's just that he originally thought that he would have to wait until the seventh year of Zhenguan to meet the first batch of envoys to the Tang Dynasty, but Li Kong never thought that he could see a group of widows casually shopping.

Although the accents of these people were different from what he knew in his previous life, and he was indeed a little confused about some scales, as a super soldier king, he was also proficient in the language of the Wa Kingdom, and it was impossible to recognize the wrong person.

In front of these Japanese people, a middle-aged man wearing a four-grade court uniform was taking this group of short people to visit Chang'an, looking at the shock in the eyes of the group of Japanese people, Li Kong couldn't help but want to laugh for a while.

However, thinking of the harm caused by this country to the Central Plains in later generations, Li Kong suddenly became serious, walked quickly in front of the official, and said, "Lord Liu, who are you?" ”

This person Li Kong has seen, he is a member of the Ministry of Rites, he doesn't remember his name very clearly, but he knows that his surname is Liu, well, there are too many officials in the Tang Dynasty, and it is good that he can remember the surname.

Liu Renji looked at Li Kong, then remembered Li Kong's identity, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Li Gongzi, these people came to the Tang Dynasty from the extreme east, and I also took them to the post house on the order of Lord Shangshu, and by the way, let them see the capital of my Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Kong was surprised, glanced at this group of curious widows, and said directly: "Lord Liu, the so-called non-my race, their hearts must be different, some things can be shown to them, but some things are ...... If some secrets are leaked, hehe! ”

Liu Renji was slightly stunned, but when he came back to his senses, Li Kong had already left.

But then he put Li Kong's words directly behind him, in his opinion, it is the glory of the Tang Dynasty to let the foreign races of Fanbang appreciate the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, what is it to hide it?

As an old oilman, he naturally understood what Li Kong meant, but he glanced at the widows around him, even if they let them learn, how much could they learn? Even Liu Renji thought about whether he should ask Li Shimin to send some people to teach these envoys to the Tang Dynasty? So that they can bathe in the grace of the Tang Emperor?

Well, it's a great idea, and if it can be promoted, it will surely last for eternity, so decided!

Li Kong didn't know that his reminder actually made Liu Renji make a decision in the opposite direction, but he didn't particularly care about this, because he knew too well what those literati in this era were, not to mention others, just one Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda were enough to leak the secrets of the Tang Dynasty cleanly.

In the eyes of those literati, they wish that all these Fanbang aliens would learn the things of the Tang Dynasty and integrate into the Tang Dynasty, but it was this whimsical childlike psychology that made them laugh at the whole era.

So reminding Liu Renji is only one aspect, he is also going to find Li Shimin on this matter, and talk to Li Shimin about sending Tang envoys.

"Young Master, what are you thinking?" Cuizhu followed behind Li Kong, muttering dissatisfiedly, she saw it just now, Li Kong stared at a woman among the group of widows for a while, what's the matter? Don't want to be at your own doorstep, want to come from outside?

Li said without replying: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about those Tang envoys, forget it, I can't tell you clearly, go, go back and clean up, young master, I want to enter the palace." ”

"Really? House flowers are not as fragrant as wildflowers? Who said that? Come out, I'm going to beat you to death! Cuizhu cursed viciously in her heart, but she still followed Li Kong towards the mansion, she was just a maid, and she didn't have the courage to violate Li Kong's decision, even if Li Kong let her serve her next to her when she was a man, she could only sulk at her by watching herself.

But I can't refute it, but it's still okay to shake my face, well, I just can't let Li Kong see it, otherwise I should accept 'ideological education' again.

At the same time, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was reporting to Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace about the dispatch of the Tang envoys by the Wa State, and this time the Wa State came to the Tang Dynasty with great fanfare, and then contacted the news brought by Baekje and Silla last year, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty still had a little understanding of the Wa State.

According to Li Shimin and the military's plan, Goguryeo will definitely be destroyed, and in the plan, Silla and Baekje are both future allies of the Tang Dynasty, but the news brought by Silla and Baekje is that the Wa State often harasses them and even wags war, so neither Li Shimin nor the officials of the Tang Dynasty have any good feelings towards the Wa State, at least not now.

But since people are here, Li Shimin, a somewhat narcissistic emperor, is thinking about how to make the Wa Kingdom thoroughly understand the strength of the Tang Dynasty, to put it bluntly, how to satisfy vanity.

"Your Majesty, about the time to meet the envoy sent by the Japanese State to the Tang Dynasty......" The waiter of the Ministry of Rites looked at Li Shimin with some hesitation.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Let's tentatively set it for tomorrow, but you just need to know the news yourself, and don't leak it out before tomorrow's court meeting." ”

"The minister understands, so the minister will retire first!"

"Well, go ahead!"

After the waiter of the Ministry of Rites left, Li Shimin's face finally showed a smug smile, and he said in a low voice: "Yang Guang, Yang Guang, you have been mixing all your life and wanted all nations to come to the court, but it only took me four years!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the attendant outside the door shouted: "Li Kong asks to see!" ”
