"Hmm~?"
Seeing Li Xiao's hesitation, Li Xiaogong immediately cast a cold look, and Li Xiao quickly said: "I will obey the order~!"
"Ouch~! Your Majesty~! I can't do it! I can't do it~!"
When Li Xiao turned around to convey the military order, a sharp voice immediately sounded next to him, and he saw a eunuch in light crimson clothes running over. It was Sun Youde, the eunuch who was overseeing the fleet going south this time.
"The purpose of the fleet going south this time is to trade with other countries. My lord, please don't use weapons rashly~! What's more, the Japanese country has been paying tribute to the imperial court and is considered a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty~!"
Sun Youde raised his orchid fingers and said weakly to Li Xiaogong.
To a certain extent, he is the supervisory army with the least power in history. There is no way, who made the commander of this army Li Xiaogong~? In the entire Tang Dynasty, only Li Er was qualified to criticize Li Xiaogong in person!
In the TV series "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", Wang De, the confidant eunuch beside Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, often wears purple clothes. Actually this is not accurate. The ancient Chinese official uniform system was formed in the Sui Dynasty and became customized in the Tang Dynasty. Generally speaking, casual officials (compared to official officials, it is only to distinguish the official rank and salary, not the current position) of the third rank and above wear purple, the fourth rank is dark crimson, the fifth rank is light crimson, the sixth rank is dark green, and the seventh rank is light Green, the eighth grade is dark green, the ninth grade is light green.
Eunuchs, like other officials, also wear official uniforms of appropriate colors according to their rank.
But there is a problem. During the Zhenguan period, Li Er issued an edict that no third-rank officials were appointed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the fourth-rank internal servants were the most powerful. Therefore, the "Old Book of Tang" says, "At the end of Yongchun, in the 70th year, Quan He is not an official, but he is guarding the gate, wearing yellow clothes and eating."
It was not until the Kaiyuan period that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty reused eunuchs and awarded third-rank official positions to those who were slightly to his liking. At that time, eunuchs with purple official uniforms appeared.
"Huh~? Has Chamberlain Sun forgotten what His Majesty said before leaving~?"
Li Xiaogong gave a faint "hmm" and then shouted:
"You have forgotten, but I have not forgotten a word~! His Majesty said at that time, 'After leaving our country of the Tang Dynasty, as soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, we must ensure the safety of the people of the Tang Dynasty traveling with the fleet. I, the Tang Dynasty Our people must not be bullied anywhere. If we encounter an invading enemy, we will use all our strength to annihilate it.' Mr. Sun, the fleet lost 28 officers, 12 crew members, and seriously injured two people last night. ! Tell me, does this king have a good reputation?"
Sun Youde was speechless for a moment.
Li Xiaogong turned around, faced the fleet at sea, and said loudly: "As the saying goes, blood debts must be paid with blood. I will conquer the Japanese country and avenge the soldiers and crew who died last night. Are you willing to obey me?" Order~?"
As a master master, Li Xiaogong's roar is not quiet at all. Basically, every ship can hear his voice.
"I will obey the prince's order! I will conquer the Japanese country according to the order and pay for the blood debt with blood~!"
"I will obey the prince's order! I will conquer the Japanese country according to the order and pay for the blood debt with blood~!"
As soon as Li Xiaogong finished speaking, he immediately received a response like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Inexplicably, they were unexpectedly attacked by a group of Japanese pirates, and so many people died. The soldiers were filled with anger! The people of the Tang Dynasty were proud, and the army of the Tang Dynasty was inviolable~!
Li Xiaogong smiled slightly, turned back and glanced at Sun Youde, and then said calmly: "Although this group of pirates may not have anything to do with the Japanese court, now we have lost so many soldiers and sailors, but let me return empty-handed. I can’t do it~! Even if I go back, I can’t explain it to their relatives~! So I decided to go to Japan this time~!”
After that, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed it to the sky with a clang, and said loudly: "The army is marching, and the troops are sent to Japan~!"
Sun Youde's face turned red and he wanted to refute, but there was nothing he could do and he didn't dare to refute! The soldiers who were blinded by hatred in front of them only had revenge and killing in their eyes. Whoever dared to jump out at this time would definitely become the target of public criticism. Sun Youde said that the Japanese country and he had not yet reached the level of friendship where they could risk their lives. ~!
"Woooooo~!"
A desolate and distant horn sound suddenly sounded on the sea. Li Xiaogong led the people on the island and began to board the ship. The envoys from various countries next to him had different expressions, some were scared and some were worried. Obviously they were worried about their country. , one day they will be attacked by the Tang Dynasty like the Japanese country. Looking at the strong military appearance of the Tang army, they feel that their country cannot stop it~!
"Messengers, there is no need to worry. The king of Japan has no proper education and allowed pirates to run rampant and attack our Tang fleet. That's why I gave him a warning~! As the saying goes, I will not offend others unless they attack me, and the Tang army will never do it. Those who actively seek quarrels and cause trouble~!”
How could a person like Li Xiaogong fail to see what the envoys from various countries were thinking~? As he walked away, he spoke softly and comforted her.
After the envoys understood what Li Xiaogong said, they felt a little more at ease and said one after another:
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty~!"
"The kingdom is mighty~!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is mighty~!"

"Renbiao, I came here this time because I have something to ask of you~!"
At three o'clock in the morning, Li Zexuan assigned training tasks to the personal guards who were not instructors today. After inviting Li Gang to personally supervise them, he sneaked out of the academy alone, returned to Chang'an City, and directly found Wang Renbiao's house.
"Xiao Xuan, just say it's okay. As long as we can help, the Wang family will definitely help you with all their strength~!"
Wang Renbiao smiled slightly.
"Then thank you Renbiao~!"
Li Zexuan laughed, and then got back to the topic, saying, "I want Renbiao to help me investigate the recent movements of the fleet going south. I always feel that something big is going to happen over there. I think I can still find out through the channels of the Wang family." News, right~?”
Wang Renbiao frowned, Li Zexuan’s request was not simple at all~! On the vast sea, where could he go to find out the news~?
"I will try my best to get the news for you, Xiaoxuan, please wait for me for a few days~!"
Wang Renbiao thought for a while and finally agreed.
Although the matter is difficult, it may not be impossible for the Wang family~!
"Haha~! Then I have Lao Ren to show you~!"
Li Zexuan smiled, then stood up and prepared to leave. Sometimes it would be much easier to have an extra friend. He and the Taiyuan Wang family almost became enemies back then, but fortunately, they became allies in the end.
"You're welcome~!"
"Haha~! I owe you a favor~! There's still something to do at the academy, so I'll leave first~! Renbiao, if you have any news, you can come directly to Yanhuang Academy to find me~!"
