Gao Biaoren, who sent the envoy to the Wa Kingdom, came back, if it weren't for the news from Ma Ye from Chang'an, Li Xiu would almost forget that the Tang Dynasty had sent such an embassy, but this can't be blamed on him, after all, Gao Biaoren and they have been gone for more than a year, not to mention Li Xiu, it is estimated that even Li Shimin has forgotten that he once sent such an envoy.

However, Gao Biaoren's return this time brought a rather shocking news to the Tang Dynasty, although his mission to the Wa Kingdom failed, but he connected with the King of Baekje, speaking of which the King of Baekje has always wanted to be friendly with the Tang Dynasty, so in order to show his sincerity, the King of Baekje sent Prince Yici to personally envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and also presented countless treasures and hundreds of beauties to Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin quite surprised, but still accepted these gifts from the King of Baekje.

According to the news from Ma Ye, now the Baekje prince Yici is in Chang'an City, and the dignitaries who visit the Tang Dynasty everywhere, although Baekje is poorer than Silla, but the king of Baekje is very willing to pay the capital, Yici in order to make friends with the dignitaries of Chang'an, almost like a fortune boy everywhere to give gifts, which also makes the Silla envoy jump up and down, spreading bad words about the Baekje people everywhere, and even had several conflicts with Yiji, almost using the knife directly.

Baekje and Silla have always been old enemies, and Silla also ruthlessly pit Baekje at the beginning, obviously the two countries united to defeat Goguryeo, but Silla attacked Baekje afterwards, not only swallowed the defeated Goguryeo territory alone, but also annexed the richest piece of land in Baekje, which also made Baekje hate the Silla people to the core, and Silla also knew that it was wrong, so it has been guarding against Baekje, and naturally obstructed the friendship between Baekje and the Tang Dynasty.

For the conflict between Silla and Baekje, Li Xiu knows better than anyone, but this is also what he wants to see, Goguryeo is a vicious wolf on the northeast side of the Tang Dynasty, from a historical point of view, as long as Goguryeo is strong, it constantly wants to expand to the southwest, thus annexing a large number of territories belonging to the Central Plains Dynasty, so in the future, the Tang Dynasty will definitely not let go of Goguryeo, with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is only a matter of time before Goguryeo is destroyed, in this way, the balance on the peninsula will be broken, Li Xiu does not want to be like the original history, Only Silla remains, and then let it have a chance to sit big.

Compared with the little broken matter between Silla and Baekje, what made Li Xiu more interested was the failure of Gao Biaoren's envoy to the Wa Kingdom, and it was also very interesting to talk about the story of this incident, Gao Biaoren led the delegation to the Wa Kingdom, and it took half a year to reach the Wa Kingdom, according to the etiquette stipulated by the Tang Dynasty, Gao Biaoren needed to read Li Shimin's holy decree to the Wa King, and the content of the holy decree was generally very empty, nothing more than to praise the friendship between the two countries and the like, which was exactly the same as the diplomatic magnetic rhetoric of later generations.

The emperor of the Central Plains is known as the Son of Heaven, and the scholars of the Central Plains also have "Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; The small countries around the Central Plains have always been dependent on the Central Plains Dynasty, so in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, the surrounding small countries are all subject countries of the Tang Dynasty, and the kings of various countries are naturally the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty.

It is also in this situation that when Gao Biaoren preached the holy decree to the Wa Kingdom, he asked the Wa King to lead the ministers to kneel in the direction of Chang'an, but the arrogance of the Wa State was famous, and when he was in the former Sui Dynasty, the Wa King dared to compare with Yang Guang in the national letter, so the Wa State naturally did not agree to Gao Biaoren's request, and as a result, Gao Biaoren was also very tough, and even did not read the holy decree, and directly led the Tang Dynasty delegation to leave the Wa State.

Gao Biaoren fell out with the Wa Kingdom, but he did not forget Li Xiu's advice, and went directly to Baekje after leaving the Wa Kingdom, and then contacted the King of Baekje, and even gave the gift originally given to the Wa King to the King of Baekje, and the King of Baekje has always wanted to take revenge, but Silla is friendly with the Tang Dynasty, so he is also very scruples, and now he is naturally unbelievable for the initiative of the Tang Dynasty envoys, so this is the matter of the Baekje Prince Yici envoy to the Tang Dynasty.

"Interestingly, the first official contact between the Wa Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty finally broke up, but Baekje took this opportunity to improve relations with the Tang Dynasty, as long as they themselves do not die, they should not be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty like later generations, so that Silla will have one more opponent in the future." After Li Xiu carefully read the news sent by Ma Ye, he whispered to himself, if the peninsula in the northeast cannot be annexed, then it can only be kept divided, which is in the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

However, these are Li Xiu's previous layouts, and now he is determined to stay away from the court, so as not to be involuntary in the future, so he only understands this matter, and has no plans to get involved again, but he has been in Suzhou for too long, and Yuechan's body has already recovered, so it is time to return to Chang'an.

In March, it is the season with the best scenery, Li Xiu's family said goodbye to Zhang Shiyi and Shangguan Yi's two families, and also set off from Suzhou again, he planned to take advantage of the spring to go to Yangzhou to meet Li Ke first, because according to the original agreement, Li Ke did not plan to stay in Yangzhou for a long time, so when Li Xiu left, Li Ke would also return to Chang'an with them.

In addition, Yangzhou is said to be the scenery of Yangzhou to spring as the most, especially when Yangzhou's Qionghua opens, the city is full of flowers, folklore Yang Guang is because of the beauty of Yangzhou Qionghua, which makes people dig the Grand Canal to the south, in order to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qionghua everywhere, but unfortunately when Yang Guang arrived in Yangzhou, Qionghua has withered, for this Yang Guang is also furious, fortunately after the persuasion of Queen Xiao to calm his anger.

Of course, Yang Guang dug the Grand Canal to appreciate Qionghua is certainly not credible, but this also shows the beauty of Qionghua, Li Xiu had heard of Qionghua as early as Chang'an, Princess Pingyang likes flowers and plants, and has always wanted to raise a few Qionghua, but unfortunately because of the water and soil, Chang'an is not suitable for the growth of Qionghua at all, and even the princess of Pingyang spent a few Qionghua flowers brought back from Yangzhou at a high price, and finally slowly withered, which made her quite sad.

The flowering period of Qionghua is in April, Li Xiu and they set off in March, all the way to Yangzhou, and finally arrived outside Yangzhou at the end of March.

A few days later, the Qionghua in Yangzhou City finally opened one after another, and the Qionghua bloomed all over the city and abroad, and the flowers were very large, and some were the size of copper pots. However, just after the Qionghua opened, there was suddenly another shocking news from Chang'an: Jieli Khan died, and the cause of death was also a little strange!
