To say that he is the lord of a country is actually no different from a bird in a cage, which is a great insult to the subjects of a country.

The lord of the country, as long as he has a little backbone, will not be willing to be imprisoned, and will either launch an army to resist or set fire to himself.

However, the eldest brother didn't choose either, he chose to live secretly.

Li Qinzai expressed his satisfaction with the choice of the eldest brother, Datang needs a reluctantly and secretly living as the lord of the Japanese country, and those who are too backbone can only be killed.

When Li Qinzai and his party rode to the palace, the long-awaited middle brother and a group of courtiers knelt down on their knees.

"The eldest brother of the lord of the vassal, meet His Excellency Li County, the suzerain of the Tang Dynasty."

The slightly stiff Chinese, with a bit of a weird Guanzhong accent, Li Qinzai smiled, and then dismounted.

Striding forward, Li Qinzai helped up the eldest brother, patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Say goodbye to you, after a few years, your Royal Highness the lord of the country will not be harmed?" ”

The eldest brother showed an expression of honor, as if being patted on the shoulder by Li Qinzai was an affirmation of him, and hurriedly stood on tiptoe to make Li Qinzai shoot more easily.

"His Excellency Li County Duke is getting younger and younger, and his face is even more ruddy, which shows that his luck is flourishing, and the vassal is happy for Li County Gong."

Li Qinzai laughed: "His Royal Highness the Lord of the Kingdom is becoming more and more approachable, when I negotiated with you in the Wa Kingdom, you didn't have such a good temper. ”

The eldest brother was not embarrassed, and said in a deep voice: "This time, that time." The vassal ministers have already changed their minds, and they are repenting every day that they should not have faced each other with the sword and halberd of the righteous king of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"The suzerain's desire to be virtuous by the king is the supreme glory of the Japanese country, and the vassals are responding to the pot pulp to welcome it, and the sword soldiers who move are really sinful."

Li Qinzai smiled, it was not surprising that such spineless words came out of the mouth of the lord of a country, but Li Qinzai secretly raised his vigilance.

The more humble the posture, the more hatred may be in the heart, and behind the hatred, there may be a storm brewing.

Looking at the courtiers of the Wa Kingdom who were still kneeling and bowing behind the eldest brother, Li Qinzai glanced at it.

The official uniforms of the courtiers of the Wa Kingdom are very distinctive, and the style is the same as that of the Tang Dynasty, but the color is quite meaningful.

As early as the Sui Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom was regarded as a Ming monarch, known in the history books as the "Prince of Shengde", he vigorously advocated the introduction of the Sui Dynasty Central Plains culture, admired Buddhism, and introduced the "Seventeen Constitution" to carry out drastic reforms to the Wa State.

I have to admit that the reform was quite effective, and after learning the culture of the sages and sages of the Central Plains and the official system, the civilization of the Wa Kingdom became more and more prosperous, and there was already a prototype of a civilized country at that time.

Later, I probably felt that I could do it, and the Wa Kingdom gradually became a little tough on the Sui Dynasty, and the famous sentence "The Son of Heaven at sunrise writes to the Son of Heaven everywhere is unharmed" was at the behest of Prince Shotoku.

Emperor Yang of Sui, who received this letter of state at that time, was displeased, so he issued an order to keep the envoys of the Japanese State out of the palace gate and not allowed to see them.

Later, Prince Shotoku introduced a model of the Tang Dynasty's official system, called the "Twelve Orders of the Crown", which divided the official uniforms of the courtiers into six colors: purple, blue, red, yellow, white, and black, and each color was divided into sizes, a total of twelve official ranks.

These six colors correspond to the six virtues of virtue, benevolence, courtesy, faith, righteousness, and wisdom in the scriptures and righteousness of the sages of the Central Plains.

Familiar, right? The original Central Plains culture, after plagiarism, does not even move the brain, and directly uses six colors to represent.

Since then, the Wa Kingdom has entered the so-called "Asuka Era", and to this day, even though the country was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, the lords and subjects of the country still follow the traditions and laws of the original Asuka era in terms of etiquette and clothing.

Perhaps they thought that the rites set by Prince Shotoku during the Asuka period were the most glorious time in the history of the Wa Kingdom, and they could not let go of those glorious days.

What etiquette is used, what color of clothing is worn, Li Qinzai doesn't care.

These ceremonial things are all vain and useless, and when the Confucian scholars sent by the Tang Dynasty brainwash and educate the subjects of the Japanese State, they will slowly abandon everything they have and have to accept the cultural occupation from the Tang Dynasty.

If you want to destroy its country, you must first kill its army, and then punish its heart, and its country can be determined.

Dead country? Dead country!

After the eldest brother and his courtiers saluted, they respectfully welcomed Li Qinzai into the palace.

That night, the palace had a night banquet, which was extremely extravagant.

A group of women wearing Tang Palace skirts danced on the palace hall, and the beauties made all kinds of seductive and provocative actions directly in front of Li Qinzai......

At the banquet, Li Qinzai had to sit on the main seat under the strong request of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother carefully accompanied the waiter, and kept toasting Li Qinzai during the banquet.

The guests and hosts at the banquet were seated, and Li Qinzai seemed to be the posture of the emperor of the Japanese state.

The wine was drunk, but Li Qinzai's mind was getting clearer and clearer.

Don't get carried away when you're proud, especially in the royal palace of the Wa Kingdom, no matter how respectful and fearful the Wa kings and ministers are to him, in theory, this is still an enemy country.

Halfway through the banquet, the dancing beauties were not favored by Li Qinzai, and they had to retreat in disappointment after a few songs.

A courtier of the Wa Kingdom suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the main hall, knelt down facing Li Qinzai, and then wept bitterly and said a series of words, Li Qinzai did not understand, but still looked at him with a smile.

Who knew that after the courtier finished speaking, he suddenly pointed at himself, and then pointed at the eldest brother, and he didn't know what he shouted loudly, and then his expression became more and more decisive.

Suddenly pulled out a delicate dagger from his bosom and stabbed it hard at his heart, and the courtier trembled a few times and fell to the ground.

The guests and hosts in the hall were shocked, and after a short silence, there was a sudden uproar, and many courtiers hurriedly ran out of the hall, and the eldest brother of the lord of the country was so frightened that his face was pale, and he was paralyzed on Li Qinzai's side, his face was pale, and he didn't know what to mutter.

Li Qinzai's face was already pale, staring at the self-defeating Japanese courtier in the center of the main hall, and he didn't take his eyes off for a long time.

At the banquet, there was a sudden change, and there was a death, and the soldiers of the Tang Army who were in charge of the palace ban came in a hurry, and at the same time, Liu Assi and other troops entered the palace.

Seeing that a person in the center of the hall fell in a pool of blood, Liu Asi's eyes shrank violently, and then with a wave of his hand, the subordinates stepped forward to surround Li Qinzai, and several horizontal knives immediately put on the neck of the eldest brother of the lord of the country.

The eldest brother seemed to have lost his soul, and he was unaware of the knife on his neck, and his whole body trembled.

After a long time, Li Qinzai glanced at the eldest brother coldly, and said to Liu Asi: "Ordered Liu Renyuan to seal the palace, the lord of the country was frightened, and someone invited him into the palace to rest, and no one was allowed to see him." ”

"You escort me out of the city and back to the camp, summon the subordinates of the Hundred Cavalry Division into the palace to investigate, and tomorrow you will entrust me with the cause and consequences."

After speaking, Li Qinzai did not greet the eldest brother, flicked the sleeves of his robe, walked out of the main hall proudly, and left the palace.
