Hearing what Li Er said, Li Xiaogong's face became solemn, he cupped his fists and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty~! Here's what happened. More than half a month ago, Chen Ming brought his fleet back to the southeastern coast. One night, Chen Ming's fleet docked on an unnamed desert island to replenish fresh water and fruits and vegetables. Who knew? That night, they encountered a sneak attack by a group of thieves. There were about a hundred or so people in total. They knew that the enemy of the army wanted to take advantage of the dim light at night and the lax guards to steal a few merchant ships and escape! Unexpectedly, they failed. Discovered by a civilian on board.
………
I originally reached an agreement with the Queen of the Japanese Kingdom. The Japanese Kingdom will compensate our Tang army for the losses in that sneak attack, including ten thousand catties of brass and one hundred thousand taels of silver. The Japanese will also capture the bandit leader and send him to Chang'an! But that night, after I left the Japanese palace, I was assassinated by a large number of assassins! If it weren't for the fact that I and my friends had some skills, I would have been buried in a foreign land by now~! "
Hearing this, all the officials in the palace changed their minds. As the king of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiaogong had such a distinguished status. If he died in the Japanese country, how would the court's face be saved? And at that time, the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom will definitely usher in an endless national war! Because Li Xiaogong was not an idle prince, but a powerful county prince who made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty!
"This Japanese country is so brave! How dare you assassinate my king of Tang Dynasty! It's a pity that I, Old Cheng, wasn't there at the time, otherwise I would have captured the Japanese queen and thrown her into a brothel~!"
Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he screamed and uttered obscene words. The ministers looked at him sideways. They wanted to say that he was insulting the gentle man, but they were afraid that this old guy would go crazy and disown him. After all, Cui Shanfu next to him had learned from the past!
Li Xiaogong almost burst into tears at this moment, secretly saying that Old Cheng has a very strong taste, because he has seen the queen of the Japanese country, who is already seventy or eighty years old, but Cheng Yaojin still wants to capture her and make her a kiln sister. It's really...
"My life or death does not matter, but behind me there are 20,000 sailors, tens of thousands of civilians, thousands of ships, millions of grains and grains, and I also represent the face of the Tang Dynasty. If I die in Japan, The consequences would be absolutely disastrous!
Later, after a detailed investigation by the minister, it was found that the person who assassinated the minister that night was the No. 1 family in the Japanese kingdom - the Soga family! The patriarch of this family intends to seize my Datang fleet and the countless goods on board, so he wants to kill me!
After I investigated the whole story, I informed the Queen of Japan of the result. However, the Queen of Japan was determined to protect the Soga family, so I led my army into the city and wiped out the entire Soga family! I can die, but the dignity of the Tang Dynasty cannot be trampled on! Anyone who offends our country must pay the price!
After the Soga family was wiped out, the Queen of Japan knew she was in the wrong and took the initiative to increase the compensation from the original ten thousand catties of brass and one hundred thousand taels of silver to fifty thousand catties of brass and three hundred thousand taels of silver~! This is the whole story~! "
After Li Xiaogong finished speaking, the playground fell into silence at first. The ministers were all digesting the whole incident. After a few breaths, Wei Zheng said to Li Xiaogong:
"The Japanese country dared to assassinate His Highness the County King. Of course he deserved it. No punishment is too high! But at the beginning, His Highness the County King brazenly led troops to attack the Japanese country because of a few thieves. Is it inappropriate~? After all, it should be There is a more secure solution~!”
Li Xiaogong raised his head proudly and said:
"Wei Zuocheng's words are wrong. It is not a matter of a few thieves at all, but a serious matter of the people of the Tang Dynasty who lost their lives at sea because of the Japanese~! Before the fleet left, His Majesty once asked me to protect it. The people of the Tang Dynasty, if there is an invading enemy, they will use all their strength to annihilate them~! That night the Japanese attacked the fleet, killing twenty-eight soldiers and twelve civilians. As the commander of the army, I must give them To put it another way, otherwise, how would I, Li Xiaogong, have the dignity to continue to lead this army? How would I have the dignity to come back to meet the Holy Master~?"
Li Xiaogong's words were very accurate. He directly moved Li Er out. The implication was that although I was a little impulsive in attacking our country, I still followed Li Er's instructions before leaving. , what else do you have to say~?
Facts have proved that if a person wants to spray you, he can find a spot to spray you. Cui Shanfu seemed to have come back to his senses at this moment, and he said:
"Your Highness, Your Highness, has your reasons, but I wonder if Your Highness has ever thought about what the other small countries around the Tang Dynasty would think if you beat me like this~? Will they think that our Bloodthirsty Station in the Tang Dynasty is not safe? Feeling~? So we can unite and fight against the Tang Dynasty~?"
This old guy is black just for the sake of being black, and now he doesn’t even want to lose his face!
"Bah~! Who do you think you are an alarmist~? Can you represent the small countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty~?"
Cheng Yaojin looked at Cui Shanfu with disgust, and then said: "The Japanese country bullies people too much. If Xiaogong doesn't give them a little show, wouldn't it mean that we have lost the prestige of the Tang Dynasty? This battle was well fought~!" If it were me, Old Cheng, I would have beaten them even more severely and slaughtered all the Japanese people~! They were unjust first, what kind of morality should we tell them~?"
"Zhijie is right~! Who is the Japanese country? How dare you ride on the head of the Tang Dynasty? Xiaogong fought well in this battle~!"
Yuchi Gong also stood up and supported him at this moment.
"The words of the two princes are wrong. Harmony is the most important thing between countries. How can we rashly use weapons if we disagree with each other? This will only push the Tang Dynasty into a militaristic situation~!"
When Kong Yingda saw this, he couldn't help but speak out.
As an old Confucian scholar, how could he hope that his country would become a dynasty that only knew bloodthirsty killings?
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, and I won't be happy if I don't say it~!"
Seeing that the court was about to turn into a vegetable market, Li Zexuan stood up, cupped his hands towards Li Er, and said.
He didn't have anything to do today, but he couldn't understand the attitude of some people in the court towards the Tang Dynasty's diplomacy.
"you say!"
Li Er's eyes lit up, and he was somewhat expecting Li Zexuan to help break the situation.
"Thank you, Your Majesty~! I want to say that the question now should not be whether Japan should be attacked, but what will happen if we fight? If Japan provokes trouble in the first place and does not retaliate, the surrounding countries will think that we, the Tang Dynasty, are good. Bullying! The Japanese country just beat them, what else do you want? Do we still want to punish our own people in the Tang Dynasty because of a small Japanese country?
As for Cui Siqing's concern that other countries will panic because of this, I think it is not enough at all! The peace and stability of our Datang Dynasty was not achieved by simply giving in, but was achieved with the blood of our soldiers! The people of the Tang Dynasty must be proud. Even if the whole world attacks the Tang Dynasty, I, the Tang Dynasty, can defeat it with one force! It's just a Japanese country, why should we be afraid of it~? "
