No one could have imagined that a brawl that would shock everyone was taking place in the solemn Tang Dynasty Hall...
Well, the word "fight" seems not quite accurate!
To be more precise, it should be Liu Hongji. Xiao Han was holding down several people and beating them violently. Even Ren Qing, who was always extremely calm, made an exception this time and beat those Japanese people until they cried for father and mother. The Japanese dialect was shouted out.
Oh, how pitiful!
If the Japanese envoy provoked Xiao Han because of his mean talk, he would not complain if he was beaten!
The other few didn't even say a word. They just wanted to step forward to help their boss, but they were also pushed to the ground. The big feet stomped on them as if they didn't want money, making several people scream. It makes one who hears it sad and one who sees it sheds tears!
Following an official and being beaten twice in three days, is this more than a tragedy?
"Quiet! Quiet!"
Finally, Emperor Xiaolizi couldn't stand it anymore, or in other words, he was afraid that if he continued to fight, someone would die! So he shouted angrily and asked the surrounding pumpkin warriors who were watching the fun to go up and pull the two groups apart!
"You are raised by a little maid! How dare you ask for compensation from me! I can't kill you!" Liu Hongji was pulled away by three or four big men, but he still tried to kick the Japanese envoy who was huddled together, even on his mouth. He kept swearing obscenities learned from Cheng Yaojin and other Shandong generals, and the faces of all the Shandong officials in the room turned dark!
You, a native of Guanzhong, don't know how to use your own melon to scold others or beg for money? Why are you scolding me in Shandong dialect?
However, while others stared at Liu Hongji hatefully, Cheng Yaojin on the other side laughed.
Not only did he put away his big feet at this time, he also pretended that the incident of kicking someone in the chaos had nothing to do with him! He also winked and gave Liu Hongji a thumbs up, and then as expected, he received a proud look from Liu Hongji.
They looked like shameless friends who came back from visiting a brothel together!
People on both sides were pulled apart...
Ahem, actually only Xiao Han and the others were pulled away. The Japanese king was lying sprawled on the cold gold bricks. He couldn't even move, let alone beating anyone. His head, which was already bruised and swollen, was even more swollen like a pig's head. His body was covered with countless huge footprints, especially More in the lower body!
And looking at the footprints, it seems that they were not made by the tattered shoes worn by Xiao Han and the others. They were probably made by official boots, and they were made by large official boots!
The officials around noticed this and couldn't help but look at Cheng Yaojin, but the old man stared back unceremoniously. The fierce look scared them and they immediately looked away. Nose, nose and mind, pretend not to see anything.
"Your Majesty! Look! Look! As an envoy of a country, the foreign minister represents the majesty of the country. He actually beat the foreign minister in public and beat him like this! Is it possible that the heavenly dynasty is like this? How do you treat vassal states like us? Aren't you afraid that if word spreads, it will chill the hearts of other vassal states?"
After lying on the cold ground for a long time, the Japanese ambassador finally gathered some strength, got up with difficulty, waved and howled at Li Shimin.
"Ahem, this..."
Li Shimin's face was a little strange. He was overjoyed that Xiao Han and the others were back safely. He just wanted to leave the court quickly so that he could quickly ask them what happened this time and how they escaped and came to Chang'an, do you still care whether your Japanese envoy will be beaten or not?
Li Shimin didn't like the Japanese country, not even when Li Yuan was emperor!
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese state sent people to see Li Yuan.
However, the attitude of the Japanese at that time was very arrogant and domineering. Not only did they not show the respect of the vassal country to the suzerain country, even the title and credentials put the two countries on equal footing! It just happened that the Tang Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles at that time, and Li Yuan had no time to care about these trivial matters, so he pinched his nose and endured it!
It was also from that time on that the Japanese state had an arrogant and arrogant impression in Li Shimin's eyes, and was remembered in his heart!
However, although he does not like the Japanese country, Xiao Lizi is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty after all, and he cannot do things based on his own likes and dislikes!
What the envoy just said was correct. A dignified envoy from a country was beaten into a pig's head in front of a group of ministers in the court of another country!
It's not a good news if this matter spreads out. If someone exaggerates it, it will inevitably create a gap in the hearts of other vassal countries and ruin the situation that he finally established with great difficulty.
"Your Majesty!"
Just when Li Shimin looked at Xiao Han and the Japanese envoy and felt in a dilemma, Xue Shoushi Shiran stood up among the civil servants.
He came in front of Xiao Han and the others, first bowed to Li Shimin and gave a long bow, then straightened up and said with a smile: "From the beginning, I noticed that the clothes of Xiao Hou and others were in tatters, they looked tired, and they looked haggard!
In addition to the avalanche in the Nanyang Mountains mentioned by the messenger before, it seems that the few of them had just escaped from the disaster, so they were restless and irritable, so much so that they lost etiquette in front of the palace and fought with the Japanese envoys! Although this crime is unforgivable, it is still excusable. I suggest that your Majesty might as well punish him to shut up and think about his mistakes, and reflect on himself. I wonder what your Majesty thinks? "
"Nani?"
The Japanese envoy, whose nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and could not even stand still, heard Xue Shou's words and almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot!
Fighting each other? Is this called fighting? Open your eyes wide and take a look. I was beaten so badly. The three of them did nothing. Do you call this a mutual beating? ! Why escape the catastrophe and feel uneasy? Could it be that because he was upset, he could take it out on me? Why!
"Yeah!"
Unfortunately, the Japanese envoy was so filled with grief and anger that he could not even speak. When Li Shimin got Xue Shu's excuse, he immediately borrowed the ladder and got off the donkey and said: "Xiao Han, Liu Hongji, Ren Qing! You and others disobeyed the rules in front of the palace and fought with the Japanese envoys. You should have been severely punished! But I thought you and others were out working hard. , and suffered a sudden catastrophe, I have to sit back and think about it for a month! Well, I will fine you another half a year! Give the confiscated salary to a few Japanese envoys to heal their wounds!"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin paused for a moment, then looked at the angry Japanese envoys who were trembling and said in a deep voice: "As for you guys, I have just arrived in the Tang Dynasty and are not familiar with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. This time Just show mercy without punishment! Come on, take them down for treatment quickly and disperse the court! Xiao Han, Liu Hongji, and Ren Qing stay!"
After saying this in one breath, Li Shimin flicked his sleeves, and the eunuch in charge of ceremony immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "The emperor has an order to withdraw from the court..."
