And Li Mao smiled like this, and then immediately woke up Gao Lishi, who was sitting outside the door waiting and couldn't help dozing, and when he poked his head into looking, he found that he was just looking at Li Mao, and Li Mao waved at him as if he knew in advance and beckoned him to come to his side.

"Sage, it's been three watches, why don't you go back and rest first, there are so many things in this day, and you can deal with them all in one moment." "Well, Lao Gao, you're right, but I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep again today, by the way, is there any news about the Japanese envoy sent to Tang from the Hongru Temple? Have they returned to their own country according to My will? ”

"Yes, there is, but they are very dissatisfied with the will issued by our Datang, saying that the money and personnel that are paid every year are too much, and they can't afford the small number of people in Fusang, and I hope that the Datang sage will reduce some ...... as appropriate" Gao Lishi replied to the news and was very puzzled and followed Li Mao's gaze to look at the map again, because he really couldn't understand that even if Li Mao said last time that the wolf ambition of the small Fusang country, but such a small country really has a monarch who must be in the Tang Dynasty. Do you keep your thoughts in your heart every day?

"Oh! How dare they protest! Well, the protest is so good, I can't find a suitable reason to destroy them? Tomorrow, you immediately ask the Ministry of War to send a message to Hai Laoba's marines, and let his son Xiaohai lead the 50,000 Fujian sailors to set off like the Fusang Islands first, without concealment, to march blatantly, and then first curb their sea communication arteries, and also tell Hongru Temple that the number of Fusang countries will double every year, and you can agree, if you don't agree to the Tang Dynasty, a million lions will go west, and you will not be merciful......"

Gao Lishi was stunned when he heard Li Mao's words, but he still did not hesitate to write down all the things according to Li Mao's will, and even ran to the center to convey the message without a moment of delay as soon as it was dawn. Most of the officials in the Hongru Temple are dealing with some trivial matters of the Tang Dynasty and foreign countries in their daily lives, so a small life is very easy, after all, in the era that Li Mao is in now, the Tang Dynasty is still the master of the world, and the so-called Wanguo Dynasty is definitely not just a verbal talk.

Anyway, in a word, what the Tang Dynasty says is what few people can object, but when Li Mao suddenly proposed to repatriate the Fusang envoys and all the students who came to Middle-earth to study and exchange a few months ago, the entire Hongru Temple was like an exploding hot pot, because they were not only unacceptable ideologically, but even for Fusang, a humble and studious good student, he was a little reluctant, after all, the existence of thousands of Tang envoys was also a huge dividend for their Hongru Temple.

"Mr. Gao, this ...... Isn't there any room for slowdown? There are a large number of Fuso students who came to study in Tang this time, and there are more than 100 monks alone, as well as Abe Nakamaro and Kibi Zhenbei...... These students are all difficult seedlings! If they return from my Datang studies, then Fusang and my Datang will definitely become the good of Qin and Jin for thousands of years......"

Ouyang Minghui, the young secretary of Hongru Temple, looked at the words conveyed by Gao Lishi and was immediately heartbroken, although he did not have the same careful thinking about interests as other officials of Hongru Temple, but for the exchange between Datang and Fusang, he was really trying his best to fulfill his duties.

He even once fantasized about spreading the brilliant national culture of the Tang Dynasty to the island country of Fusang step by step, and hoped to make friends with neighboring countries and assimilate them in this way...... "Brother Ouyang, this matter is a matter that the sage himself is sure of, I am afraid that it will not be easily changed, and our family also advises you by the way, the sage He seems to have an inexplicable dislike for this small country of Fusang, if it is just to repatriate the students to Fusang It would be better to say, but you have also heard the following annual offerings, not to mention the land of Fusang projectiles, Even if I pay such a price, I'm afraid I will break my bones and bones, so you still can't understand the sage's intentions? ”

Gao Lishi, speaking of the dark point, is actually almost straightforward to tell Ouyang Minghui that you don't meddle in things, the sage is going to do something to Fusang Kingdom, but because of the face of the Heavenly Empire, he has to find a suitable reason, and Gao Lishi has spoken to this extent, Ouyang Minghui understands Li Mao's final thoughts even if he is pedantic.

But even so, the old man couldn't help but sigh again, and said, "Manager Gao, you said that the two countries have been peaceful and peaceful, why is this so, why is this so!" Wouldn't this sword soldier have to ...... again" "Brother Ouyang, this is what you court adults should think about, and our family can't manage it if you want to, but our family still wants to say in the end, the saint will never do things for no reason, and he will never do things that are unfavorable to our Datang, before coming, the saint also muttered a sentence, and the side of the couch allows others to sleep soundly......

When the two nodded thoughtfully to each other to express their helplessness, there were dozens of young people at the gate of Hongru Temple clamoring to break in, and after waiting for someone to report the matter to Ouyang Minghui and say that the person who came also happened to be from the Fusang Mission, Ouyang Minghui and Gao Lishi almost unanimously ordered people to be brought to them to talk.

"Lord Ouyang, Chao Heng" has been in Tang for four or five years, how can I leave now! What a mistake we had! If you don't succeed in your studies, you will have no shame to return home and face His Majesty the Emperor! Lord Ouyang, let us go and meet the Tang Sage to personally tell the pain in our hearts, the Datang Sage is generous, and I will definitely take back our lives......"

These words of Azhong Maro seemed to speak the hearts of all the students who sent Tang Fusang, so before he finished the next words, dozens of people present all knelt on the ground and kept knocking their heads, especially Azhong Maro and Kibi Zhenbei, who turned their bodies to Gao Lishi, who was standing aside.

They seemed to see the different reactions of the inner angel official in front of them from Ouyang Minghui's attitude. "Lord Inner Chamberlain, you must convey the wishes of all our students to the Datang Sage, although we don't know why he made such a decision, but we have spent more than ten years of hard work in order to come to the Tang Dynasty to study! None of us do not admire and respect the profound culture of Datang, and we hope to learn something in Dadu and spread this splendid culture! The chamberlain......"

"Okay, okay, you descendants are really a little ignorant of the sky, how can you see my Tang Sage, you can see it when you say it, don't embarrass our family and Lord Ouyang, we also understand what you said, it is not easy to study, and besides, you still come across the ocean and risk your life...... But now that the wood is already in the boat, no one can change it, listen to our family's advice, after you go back, persuade the Fusang monarch well, so that he had better agree to the requirements of the kingdom, and there must be no mistake in the supply every year......"

"This ...... This...... The amount of money offered is so huge, Lord Ouyang, do you think it is reasonable? Forget about silver money, copper and iron, where is there a saying that 200,000 young men and women are supplied every year, even if they come to Datang to work in the country to earn monthly money on paper, but this recruitment is really incomprehensible! Two adults!! ”

"If you don't understand, go back and ask your monarch! The battle of Baijiangkou will not be forgotten so quickly, why did you seek peace like my Tang Dynasty and bow your head, my Central Plains culture has a long history, like this Taoguang Yang Hui, there are countless examples of compromise! Gou Jian, the king of Yue, Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms...... Ha ha...... My Datang Sage has no purpose in doing this, he just wants to do it once and for all......"

After Gao Lishi finished speaking, he flicked his long sleeves and quickly walked out of the Hongru Temple, and after he walked out of the gate, dozens of Fusang students, including Azhong Maro and Kibi Zhenbei, knelt in place for a long time, and they didn't even dare to breathe. -->
