In the middle of the city.

In the court hall of Linyi Kingdom, the faces of the monarchs and ministers were extremely ugly, and there was a dead silence above the main hall.

Fan Jian, the king of this generation, only felt as if there was a slap in his face at this time.

Bad battle reports kept coming from the front line, and the Tang army was like a bamboo, taking most of the territory of their Linyi country, and even a strong and tall city like Mo Nu City could not stop the Tang army's advance!

"Why didn't you say a word?"

Fan Jian looked at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in front of him and asked.

The ministers lowered their heads one after another, and they were speechless!

Things have come to this point, and the only way to do this is to politely invite the Datang envoy in the dungeon out, treat them warmly, admit their mistakes, and pray for the forgiveness of Datang's father is the right choice.

No matter how much others say, it's nonsense, and no matter how much you do, it's in vain, it's better to give in honestly to the Tang Dynasty in order to keep the Linyi Kingdom, otherwise, wait for the death of the country!

"If you have any advice, speak it out, and the widow will forgive you no sin! What exactly do we do now? ”

Fan Jian, the king of Linyi Kingdom, patted the armrest of the throne and shouted.

This is the minister of his Linyi country, and when they are used, they collectively shut up, and they are chattering one by one on weekdays, and they can speak well, but now they have collectively become dumb!

"Your Majesty, at this time, the only way to send the Tang envoy back to Datang, admit his mistake to Datang, and send the seeds of Zhancheng rice to Datang, only in this way will Datang not continue to embarrass us!"

A Wenchen came out and suggested to Fan Jian, the king of Linyi.

But Fan Jian refused, he was very arrogant before, but now he was beaten by fat, but he had to bow his head and admit his mistakes, there was no door, he had to be a backbone, and he couldn't be cheap.

The current situation is that the Tang Dynasty invaded their Linyi country, which is an unrighteous act!

It is a righteous act for Linyi to defend its territory and fight against invaders, which belongs to protecting the land and defending the country!

It has always been the truth that evil does not prevail over good, and there is no truth that justice will lose to evil!

"The Tang Dynasty's invasion of my Linyi country is an unrighteous act! How can we give in, we must fight to the end, the widow does not believe in evil and can defeat justice!"

Fan Jian, the king of Linyi Kingdom, refused to admit his mistake and surrender, as a man, he should straighten his waist and have backbone.

The ministers sneered and said that people are evil, and you are no better.

You, the king, are just the nephew of the former king Fan Zhenlong, and you are not qualified to inherit the throne.

At that time, the powerful ministers killed the first king and the clan, so that the Fan family was extinct, and the people of Linyi first supported the brother-in-law of the first king Fan Zhenlong, the son-in-law of the first king Fan Touli, that is, Fan Jian's father Brahmin as the king.

The ministers and the people of the country thanked the kindness of the former king Fan Touli, and abolished the Brahmin and replaced it with the daughter of the former king Fan Touli, that is, Fan Jian's mother as the queen of Linyi.

Fan Jian changed his surname to become a descendant of Fan, inherited Fan's incense, and the queen of Linyi passed away, and Fan Jian was able to ascend the throne.

It can be said that Fan Jian is not the orthodoxy of the Fan family, but as a vassal he dares to rebel against the suzerain, and he is embarrassed to lick his face and say that he belongs to justice!

Broadly speaking, you belong to the rebellious ministers and thieves, and the Celestial Empire has the right to hang the people and kill them!

In the whole country of Linyi, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers in battle, and if you count the slaves, it is not bad to make up a maximum of 100,000 people.

However, the Tang Dynasty is vast and boundless.

You can mobilize an army of 100,000 casually, and pinching your cub to death is not as simple as pinching an ant to death!

After a moment of hesitation, Fan Jian made a decision.

He looked at the minister and said: "The widow has decided to unite the land and water Zhenla, the country of Bi and other countries to fight against the Tang Dynasty together, as long as we can help us defeat the Tang Dynasty, we can divide the territory of the Tang Dynasty equally with them, you Aiqing who is willing to be a messenger to unite the land and water Zhenla and other countries!"

As soon as his words came out, he immediately ushered in the white eyes of the minister, and the minister slandered: This idiot is really delusional, and he still wants to carve up the Tang Dynasty, do you have that ability, don't you have a B number in your heart?

Do you really think that the kings of other small countries are as stupid as you? Still carve up the Tang Dynasty? I'm afraid that the first person to hit you is you, so I can take the opportunity to ask Datang's father for credit!

In order to invite merit, they may directly cut down their envoys, and this kind of envoy is equivalent to sending them to death, and they will definitely not do it.

Instead of waiting for death here, it is better to take the initiative to surrender to Datang's father, and for the sake of obedience, Lin Yiguo can still report it, if you don't know what to do, it will really be over!

Seeing that no one stood up to support his great plan, Fan Jian was very dissatisfied, and when he resolved this crisis, he must kill all this waste.

As courtiers, not only can they not share the worries of the widow, but they don't even stand up for the widow's wise and martial decisions, and they don't take the widow in their eyes.

The more Fan Jian thought about it, the more angry he became, and he gritted his teeth angrily.

If it weren't for the lack of effort from these ministers, how could they be pressed to the ground and rubbed by Datang, and it should be Datang who should be pressed to the ground and rubbed!

At this moment, the minister was thinking in his heart, how to escape from here and surrender to Datang's father, they can't take this king away, and only by abandoning the king can they live.

"Zuo Xiang, don't you bother to make a trip......"

Fan Jian looked at Zuo Xiang and said.

Zuo Xiang was frightened half to death, and hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old and frail, and he can't go far away, if he dies on the road, it's nothing, if it spoils the king's great cause, the old minister won't be at ease!"

I want him to die, but there is no door!

Fan Jian felt that what Zuo Xiang said was very reasonable, it was indeed too old and easy to make mistakes, Fan Jian's eyes swept back and forth in front of the ministers, and finally fixed on a minister.

This minister is young and strong, and he is good-looking, and it is only fitting for him to send him!

"Ruan Zuo clerk, this burden will be handed over to you, and you can't let the widow down! If you can complete the mission, you will be promoted by three levels when you come back!"

Fan Jian quickly fell in love with a minister and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid can't take on this important task, so please take back your order and choose another good person to send an envoy!"

The named Ruan official hurriedly came out of the column and fell to his knees.

I thought that the other party would gladly accept it, but the other party still refused, which made Fan Jian even more angry.

If you can't give him a reasonable explanation, you should immediately drag him out and chop up the meat and feed it to the dogs, and see who dares to refuse his assignment.

"Ruan Zuo scribe, tell me why you can't send an envoy to Zhenla and other countries?"

"The minister is a Vaishya caste, with a humble status, and he represents the king to envoy other countries, and it is easy for other countries to misunderstand the king and humiliate them, which not only does not play a role in the king's joint resistance to the Tang Dynasty, but will backfire, and the minister implores the king to choose another good talent."

The Nguyen official kowtowed to explain why he couldn't!

Fan Jianqi is half dead, why did the Vaishya caste mix into the ranks of ministers, no wonder these ministers are so useless, a rat poop spoiled a pot of soup.

Influenced by the Tianzhu culture, the state of Linyi worshipped Shiva and gods such as Vishnu and Brahma, and adopted a caste system.

Fan Jian was very helpless, looked around, and found several ministers, all of whom had enough reasons not to go, and he didn't want to push too hard.

Just when Fan Jian was at a loss, a minister stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to serve the king!"

Hearing this, Fan Jian was overjoyed!

It seems that there are still loyal ministers in my Linyi country.

"Aiqing, you are willing to go to Zhenla and other countries for the widow, the widow is very happy, and when you come back, I will make you the left minister, anyway, the left minister is also old, it's time to go home to retire!"

Fan Jian got up from his throne, trotted over to the volunteer minister, took his hand, and made a promise to kick the old and frail Zuo Xiang away by the way.

He decided that when the minister returned alive, he would train him to be his henchman.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a request, and I hope the king can grant it!"

The minister said.

"Aiqing, if you have any requests, as long as the widow can agree to you, you will never refuse!"

Fan Jian said with a smile.

As long as you are willing to act as an envoy and send other countries to complete the joint task, let alone one condition, even if it is ten or hundred, there is no problem.

"Chen's family has never left their hometown, they have always had a wish, they want to see the outside world, and Chen wants to take this opportunity to take them out for a break!"

The minister replied.

A fake public and private look!

Fan Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, he was a little dissatisfied with the minister's behavior, the widow sent you on a business trip, not to let you travel abroad, do you still want to drag your family and talk like you?

But after thinking about it, he is the only minister of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty who is loyal and willing to stand up for the widow and share the worries, which is commendable!

This little non-trivial thought is not unsatisfying, as a king, you can't chill the hearts of loyal ministers!

"The widow still thinks it's a big deal, the widow allows you to take your family there, you go back immediately to prepare, and set off as soon as possible."

Fan Jian said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The minister was happy in his heart, everything went well!

The broken ship of Lin Yi Kingdom will sink soon, he can't stay for the burial, as long as he leaves Lin Yi Kingdom, he will immediately go north and return to the Tang Dynasty.

As for going to other countries and carrying out a joint anti-Tang Dynasty, whoever likes to go will go, anyway, he will not go, and if he wants to go, he will also go to the Tang Dynasty.

Fan Jian didn't know the minister's careful thoughts, if he knew that he would have to be hacked to death on the spot, Fan Jian helped him up and personally sent him out of the hall.

When the minister returned, he immediately packed his belongings, took his family and slaves and left the city of Champa and headed north.

……

Annam Metropolitan Protectorate.

Annan protected Liu Yanyou, and after receiving Han Shizhong's official letter urging grain and grass, he sent his subordinates to collect grain and grass.

Originally, half of the money was handed over every year, but now Liu Yanyou pretended to be in the name of the imperial court's crusade against Linyi State, and demanded that the slang households under the jurisdiction of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate must pay taxes in full.

If anyone dares not to pay, he will disobey the court and correct the law on the spot.

Half of the taxes reported to the imperial court were still paid, and the other half was directly greedy by him.

Liu Yanyou's behavior completely angered the slang, and under the call of the leader of the slang, while Liu Yanyou was out, he raided Liu Yanyou's team and beheaded Liu Yanyou, a corrupt official.

Since then, the news of the rebellion of the Slang Households in the jurisdiction of the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate has reached the Guangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office.
