Nearly 100 envoys from various countries rushed to the hall of the court meeting in less than half an hour, all the envoys were suspicious, they didn't understand the situation at all, and they didn't know what the accident was, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty was sitting on the dragon couch with a gloomy face, without the smiling face when he met with the envoys, and there was no usual kind atmosphere, however, there were also some ministers who were familiar with the envoys and quietly showed some words. When the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom arrived outside the palace gate, they were stopped at the door and asked them to wait first.

Soon, the envoys of all the countries who arrived also knelt down quietly, all waiting for Uncle Li's speech with a nervous heart. "Your Majesty! The envoy of the Japanese kingdom, Ono Kitsu, asked for a meeting. ”

Uncle Li waved it expressionlessly, and the eunuch on the side immediately shouted in his sharp voice: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has entered the palace to take a peek. ”

"The envoy of the Wa Kingdom, Ono Kijing, please see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and on behalf of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom, I sincerely wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty long live, long live, long live!" Ono Kitsune also seemed to realize something, and he walked to the center of the main hall and knelt on the ground. The two deputy envoys beside him also knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Ono Kijing, don't ......" Uncle Li nodded slightly, squinted, pursed his lips, and looked coldly at this envoy of the Japanese State, and after half a cup of tea, Uncle Li spoke again: "When did you come to my Datang?" ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the minister arrived in April of the 19th year of Zhenguan, and arrived in Chang'an at the end of June, and he is still waiting for His Majesty's call."

Uncle Li put his fingers on the table and tapped it gently, his voice was cold and muffled: "Oh, in this way, since you have only been here in my Datang for a short time, you must be very clear about what is happening in your country, right?" ”

Ono Kijing was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The minister doesn't understand what His Majesty means. ”

"Hehehe, I don't understand, oh, it seems that I didn't know what I asked." Uncle Li had a smile on his face, but all the people present couldn't feel a trace of warmth, even I felt a chill down my spine, and Su Dingfang on the side was similar to me.

Above ---------------------------------------------------- court, apart from the almost inaudible sound of breathing, only the crisp sound of Uncle Li's fingers tapping on the desk seemed to echo in the empty hall.

"Since you are here, then present your national credentials today, so that I can see them." Uncle Li stretched out his hand and pointed, and the official on the side took a few steps forward, took the letter of state, and handed it to Uncle Li's hand.

Uncle Li Yan took a look at it for the first time, his eyes were fierce, his hands suddenly closed, and he rubbed the silk national letter together, snap! Smash it the case!

Everyone was taken aback by Uncle Li's unusual action, and their eyes fell on the silk book that Uncle Li smashed on the desk. "It seems that it is no different from the national letter of the previous dynasty." On the side, Pei Xingjian's voice of some schadenfreude came to my ears, fortunately, we young people were all squatting on the edge, and the internal officials who were rectifying the discipline of the court were also far away from our side, and I also turned my face sideways and lowered my voice: "Take a look slowly, anyway, today, Your Majesty is really annoyed." ”

"Nonsense, it's strange if it's not hairy, if it weren't for the fact that this is the court, it's about the national body, Lao Su can't wait to chop this little man now, damn it, return the emperor?!" Su Dingfang also had a puffed face, and a pair of tiger eyes glared at the envoys of the Japanese State viciously.

The old man beckoned the internal official, and said a few words lightly, the internal official nodded, carefully took the national letter from the dragon case, handed it to the old man's hand, and began to circulate it in the hands of the important ministers.

It took Uncle Li a long time to suppress his anger, his brows locked together, forming an obvious Sichuan character: "Why is there such a title as the emperor on this national book?" Is this a self-metaphor for your lord?! Uncle Li shouted coldly, and as soon as these words came out, all kinds of shock, surprise, and surprise suddenly appeared in the hall, and several envoys even jumped up exaggeratedly.

Ono Kijing never thought that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would ask so directly, and he was stunned for a long time before he said slowly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, my lord is indeed regarded as the emperor by our people. ”

"Good, good!" Uncle Li smiled angrily: "I didn't expect that I really underestimated the Wa Kingdom." The voice was full of irrepressible coldness, as if in an instant, the originally hot climate had changed dramatically at this moment, like a cold winter.

"Arrogance!" The eldest grandson Wuji had already stood up, holding the national letter in his hand, and handed it to the envoys of the Tang Dynasty on the side, signaling them to circulate it, and also letting those people understand why the high-level political leaders of the Tang Dynasty behaved like this.

He took a few steps forward and looked coldly at Kono Kitsune, who was kneeling there in sweaty clothes. "The old man remembers, in the Han Dynasty, the country of Er came to my country of China to pay tribute, so that people call themselves doctors, after the Han Guangwu Emperor gave the seal to the slow, allowed him to be the king of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wei Ming had named the king of Yamatai as the king of the pro-Wei committee, fake gold seal purple slow. It has always been a subject country of my China, and it is a great favor for you to be called the king, but now, I dare to call myself the emperor, I don't know what the country wants to do? ”

Ono Kijing was also stiff, stood up and knelt up, and said in a loud voice: "This minister of the Celestial Empire, although my country has been friendly with the Chinese kingdom for hundreds of years, there is no subordinate relationship between our two countries, and those records have lasted a long time and are difficult to study, so the ministers dare not admit it." In the other dynasty, the Sui Emperor received the letter of state of my Japanese kingdom, and there was no dissenting remark, I don't know why the ministers of the Heavenly Dynasty attached so much importance to a title. ”

"How can this be true? His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this person should be killed! On the side, the Silla envoy immediately jumped out, pointed at Ono Kitsune and reprimanded angrily: "Arrogant and ignorant, you dare to say such a thing in the palace of the Heavenly Empire!" Where's the heart?! ”

Soon, more than 100 envoys from various countries present came out one after another, angrily reprimanding the envoys of the Japanese state, and even Baekje, who was often friendly with the Japanese state, also stood up in front of everyone's eyes and denounced it.

Under the reprimand of the old man and several important ministers of the court, the scene calmed down for a long time. Ono Kijing and the deputy envoys around him all bowed their heads to the ground, at this time, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom seemed to have faintly noticed that something was wrong, and they wanted to defend themselves, but they were blocked back by the old man's cold eyes.

"Since the Han Dynasty, the country of China has been a thief in my Central Plains, scratching my sea borders, attacking my border people, and taking my property, these are all things in the past, and I can not blame the past, because my Datang has always been based on the rule of people, and convince people with benevolence and virtue, and the surrounding countries, but whenever there is difficulty, my Datang never looks sideways and coldly, but whoever admires my Central Plains culture and technology, comes and goes freely, and is convenient everywhere, but I never thought that when the first envoy of Erguo came to the court, he did his best to bend his knees...... Now do you think that you have learned enough, and if you learn well, you can already surpass me a hundred times the Tang Dynasty, and you can be arrogant and call yourself the emperor?! Uncle Li had already stood up from the dragon couch, his hideous face turned an angry iron blue.

---------------------------------------------------- "Your Majesty! From top to bottom, the country is full of such petty people, who speak wildly, and the ministers think that they can go to prison to ask for crimes! The old man stepped forward. There was a chill in his voice.

Li Daozong, a famous general of the clan, also came out of the crowd: "Your Majesty, such an arrogant country, no one can bow down." ”

Countless court ministers were surprisingly unanimous, and that was because the Wa Kingdom had really angered the Tang Dynasty, and when their letter of state came to me, I almost wanted to pull out a knife and stab someone. Damn it! The little Japanese slave is really arrogant enough, and he said that he was out of the emperor and said that he was not in the book of the Son of Heaven. What is this? This is simply a complete insult to my Datang.

On the side, Su Dingfang was also so angry that his face turned green, threw away the national letter, and strode out: "Your Majesty, the minister Su Dingfang asks for his life, and is willing to lead a division to take the land directly, and not destroy his country, it is difficult to show the national prestige of my Tang Dynasty, and it is difficult to bear its humiliation, Your Majesty!" ”

"The minister is also willing to send troops against this rebellious man."

Datang may lack other things, but it will definitely not lack courage, self-esteem, and that kind of pride that comes from the heart of the nation.

At this time, Li Jing silently walked to the body of the envoy of the Japanese State who was lying on the ground without trembling, his white eyebrows raised slightly, a pair of eagle eyes were not angry and self-threatening, and he retracted his gaze for a long time, turned around and said: "Your Majesty, although the old minister is too old and has not won with others for a long time, but today, the old minister is here to ask for his life, I hope that Your Majesty will allow the old minister to lead the army to it, and the old minister will definitely capture these disobedient and arrogant people and sweep the ground!" ”

Like the envoys of Goguryeo last time, the 37 members of the Japanese delegation were all submerged in the Dali Temple, and Uncle Li ordered that his national letters be burned and his contributions destroyed. Listening to Uncle Li's angry roar, these envoys of foreign vassal states understood that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was angry, the prime minister was angry, and the general was also angry, and there was only one voice that the Tang Dynasty and the opposition had a tacit understanding, and that was war!
