The next day.
It's time for the court meeting again.
The middle hall of Taiji Palace... Liangyi Hall.
The tables were arranged in an orderly manner, and the palace maids and eunuchs were carrying trays in and out, making them look particularly busy.
The main purpose of this court meeting is to entertain foreign guests.
Therefore, the court meeting is still held in Taiji Hall.
But after meeting Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty would definitely show its kindness as a landlord and entertain the envoys from various countries.
"I have met your Majesty!"
As Li Shimin stepped onto the dragon throne, the ministers paid homage.
"No gift!"
Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair, dressed particularly decently.
That's right!
Li Shimin wears a new dragon robe!
Right now……
His speaking voice was much louder than before.
After the development of Wenyun Pavilion in the past few months, Li Er's small treasury has been enriched again.
"Start your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Doulu Kuan took a step forward and reported: "The Tang Dynasty is famous outside, and all the countries look up to it, including Baekje, Silla, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Eastern Turks..."
After listing the names of various countries, Doulu Kuancai said: "The kings of various countries have sent envoys to ask for condolences from the Tang Dynasty... They are now listening to the announcement outside the palace. Do you want to summon them?"
"Xuan!"
Li Shimin was also a little excited.
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, natural disasters continued.
However, the Tang Dynasty became more cohesive and powerful, with several more countries surrendering than in previous years.
"I have met His Majesty the Tang Emperor (Tian Khan)!"
Envoys from various countries entered the Tai Chi Hall in an orderly manner.
After seeing Li Shimin, he greeted Li Shimin with the unique etiquette of his country.
"No gift."
A calm smile appeared on Li Shimin's face: "You have traveled thousands of miles to come to Datang. It has been a hard journey. If you need anything, you can explain it to Datang."
"Thank you, His Majesty Tang Emperor."
All the envoys returned the greeting again.
"Dear Tian Khan, we have something unclear."
After being reserved, the Western Turkic envoy suddenly spoke up.
"What's the matter?"
Li Shimin still had a smile on his face.
"Baekje admired the Tang Dynasty so much that they traveled thousands of miles to come to Chang'an. I wonder why the Tang Dynasty canceled their reward?" the Western Turkic envoy asked respectfully.
"This is the problem..."
Li Shimin turned to look at Fuyu Yici: "You can ask Prince Yici."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Western Turkic envoy immediately answered...
"Tian Khan, we have heard the cause of the matter..."
"It's just a matter of merchants. If Baekje's rewards are canceled because of this, it's really incomprehensible to us."
"If Datang doesn't give a clear answer."
"After the news is sent back, I am afraid that the kings of various countries will become suspicious of the Tang Dynasty."
“I don’t know what to give to you when I go to worship next year.”
Western Turk's words seemed a bit sharp.
Today's Tang Dynasty is indeed strong.
But the respect of the various countries for Datang was not that strong.
The reason……
The Tang Dynasty never beat them up!
They come to pay tribute mostly for the rewards in return for paying tribute...
"Um."
Li Shimin was not displeased.
This question was something he had expected.
"Start your Majesty."
At this time, Wei Zheng suddenly took a step forward: "This matter is between the Ministry of Commerce and the Crown Prince of Baekje. It is better for the Ministry of Commerce to come forward and explain to the envoys."
"allow."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Where is Wei Shuyu?"
"I'm here!"
Wei Shuyu was the last in line.
And because of his position, all the envoys from various countries turned back.
Damn...
You have to look back after saying something.
Are you tired?
"Wei Aiqing, please come to the palace."
Li Shimin seemed to be aware of this embarrassing scene.
In the past, when talking to envoys from various countries, at least third-level officials were at the forefront.
This is the first time.
"promise."
Wei Shuyu held the wat board in his hand and stepped forward step by step.
However, before he could reach the front of the hall, a man with a broad face and a sturdy build stood up...
"What does His Majesty Tang Emperor mean by this?"
"We traveled thousands of miles to come to Datang, and Datang just sent a child to answer the question?"
"Is it possible that there is no one available in the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin took a look at the other party's clothes and quickly identified his country.
Shiwei.
A wallflower.
The Turks were strong and turned towards the Turks.
The Tang Dynasty was so powerful that it fell to the Tang Dynasty.
"How dare you be so bold in our Tang Dynasty?"
"How can you be allowed to tarnish the reputation of our Tang Dynasty in the imperial court!"
"Your Majesty, Shi Wei disrespects the Tang Dynasty, please your Majesty to punish him severely!"
Li Shimin didn't answer, and all the civil and military officials immediately shouted at him.
Now Xiao Wei represents Datang...
No matter how much hatred there is, it must be let go at this time.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
Shi Wei's envoy was still unruly: "We represent various countries and come to worship. This is a solemn and sacred thing!"
"The Tang Dynasty treated him like a child."
"What exactly do you mean?"
"Those who don't know better think that the Tang Dynasty is arrogant and looks down on other countries like us."
The ministers snorted coldly.
You can do that, right?
Let's not scold you anymore, let Xiao Wei do it on his own!
"Messenger, what you said is wrong."
After Wei Shuyu saluted Li Shimin, he turned to look at him: "You should have heard just now. This matter is between the Ministry of Commerce and Baekje."
"It is reasonable for me to stand up as the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce!"
"and……"
"I am an official of the Tang Dynasty, and everything I say and do represents the Tang Dynasty."
"How come you are so arrogant?"
Wei Shuyu was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was calm.
This performance caused the ministers to nod secretly.
Does Xiao Wei need our support?
Not required!
Let’s just watch the other party get sprayed...
"It's this messenger instead."
"As the envoy of Shi Wei, you are now openly questioning the officials of the Tang Dynasty..."
"In what capacity are you questioning?"
"Have you considered the consequences?"
"Do you mean what Shi Wei means by saying this?"
Wei Shuyu's three consecutive questions stunned the envoy Shi Wei.
I have long heard that there was a father and son in the Tang Dynasty who were very good at speaking.
I finally saw it today...
However, since he was able to serve as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, he was certainly not a weak talker.
"Even if Datang doesn't despise me, just wait."
The envoy from Shiwei replied reluctantly: "But I still think it's inappropriate for the Tang Dynasty to send a child!"
"Children are children after all, so what if they say or do the wrong thing?"
"Datang won't excuse its mistakes because of its young age, right?"
"Wouldn't this make this pilgrimage seem a bit trivial?"
As soon as these words came out, they quickly won the approval of envoys from all countries.
"This messenger."
Wei Shuyu asked back: "When you questioned me just now, it seems that you said the wrong thing first, right?"
Ga.
The messenger from Shiwei was momentarily speechless.
This is like digging a hole and burying yourself.
"And the child's play you mentioned?"
As he spoke, Wei Shuyu's eyes narrowed.
His words gradually became sharper, and his aura suddenly increased.
He kept Old Wei's words in mind and must not weaken the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty!
"Please remember..."
"Whether I am old, weak, sick or disabled, or strong and healthy!"
"I represent Datang!"
"If you question me again and again, Datang will regard Shi Wei as provoking Datang!"
"besides……"
Boom.
Wei Shuyu took a step forward.
The whole person looks more fierce...
"If it's just me, you can just call me childish!"
"But now I, the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, are in front of you, all the civil and military officials are in front of you, and the envoys from all countries are in front of you!"
"How dare you say this is child's play on such an important occasion?"
"Then a war will be launched..."
"Don't say it's you, even if you, Lord Shi Wei, come forward to explain in person, the Tang Dynasty and other countries will not accept your apology from Shi Wei!"
Damn it.
The officials were dumbfounded.
Xiao Wei's spray power increased again...
Shi Wei was obviously with the envoys from various countries.
He was forced to the opposite side...
