"Ha~! Is the Emperor of Japan okay?"
In the Taiji Hall, as soon as the Japanese envoy came out, the previous festive atmosphere in the hall immediately disappeared and was replaced by a chilling atmosphere! From the king to the ministers, everyone looked at Shanbei's eldest brother with a slightly evil look. Li Er smiled faintly. It can be said that there is a hidden sword in his words!
Shanbei's elder brother Wang's expression changed. He understood that if he didn't pick up his next sentence well, blood would probably be spilled on the spot!
The word "emperor" was first proposed by his father, Prince Shotoku. At that time, Prince Shotoku sent Ono as an envoy to the Sui Dynasty. In the credential to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he wrote, "The Emperor of the East respects the Emperor of the West." This was because This sentence completely angered Emperor Sui Yang, which led to the severance of relations between the two countries.
The eldest brother Shanbei understands very well the arrogance in the hearts of the people of the Chinese dynasty. Now that the Sui Dynasty has destroyed the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Tang Dynasty will only become more arrogant and scorn the so-called "Emperor" even more!
What if his father created the title "Emperor"? The Tang people didn’t admit it at all!
(In fact, China called the Japanese emperor Emperor around the time of Tongzhi in the late Qing Dynasty)
Thinking of this, Shanbei Brother Wang felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but he had to face reality, so he took a step forward, bowed to Li Er and said:
"His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is so majestic. Under your majesty, who dares to call himself the emperor? Your Majesty, your words have made the eldest brother Shanbei King and the Japanese nation extremely frightened~! Your Majesty, please take back what you just said!"
Keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile. Before setting off from the Kingdom of Japan, the eldest brother Shanbei had already thought about the difficulties he would encounter in the Tang Dynasty. After all, there had been unpleasantness between the two countries, but he believed that as long as he kept a low profile and forbearance in the Tang Kingdom, the proud Tang people would , will definitely not be familiar with them.
"Haha! Last year, the Tang Dynasty's fleet went south and was ambushed when passing through Japan. Did you catch the pirate leader?"
Li Er smiled contemptuously, and then his tone was unkind.
The air in the hall became stagnant again.
But this time Shanbei's elder brother Wang was well prepared. He bowed and said:
"Your Majesty the Emperor, since the army of the Kingdom of Japan withdrew from Japan, the Queen immediately ordered that the whole country should be used to capture Nakamura Chuanxiong. Fortunately, the Emperor has paid off. More than a month ago, our army captured this man on an island in the south. The leader of the thieves! In order to prevent any accidents on the way, Her Majesty the Queen has specially ordered the eldest brother Yamabei to personally escort him to His Majesty the Emperor! Now, Nakamura Kawao is outside the palace. Whether to kill or behead him depends on His Majesty's decision!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd in the court suddenly became furious.
"I sincerely request your Majesty to cut the corpses of the five horses in this camp into pieces to comfort the spirits of the soldiers and people who died at sea~!"
Li Xiaogong took a step forward, cupped his fists and said loudly.
As Zuo Tiju of the Shibo Division, he was originally supposed to be in Lingnan, but Li Er was considerate of him and issued an edict before the year, allowing him to come back for the New Year. However, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he had to go south again. !
Among all civil and military officials, he had the strongest hatred for Nakamura Kawao.
"Old minister seconded the proposal! I sincerely request your Majesty to kill this prisoner~!"
Qin Qiong was the second to stand up.
Afterwards, many ministers stood up to support Li Xiaogong, regardless of their position, just because the sovereignty of the Tang Dynasty cannot be violated!
Li Er was silent for a moment, and then said: "Here comes! Take Nakamura Kawao to the Dali Temple prison, parade him through the streets three days later, and execute him late at Xishikou!"
When watching costume dramas, one often hears "So-and-so committed a heinous crime and was pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded in public." In fact, this is just a joke in opera or folk tales and has never existed in real history.
If you carefully examine the names of palace gates in various dynasties, you will find that at least before the Yuan Dynasty, there was no such name as "Meridian Gate".
In the Tang Dynasty, there were clear regulations on the place where death row prisoners should be beheaded. It was written in "Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty: The Ministry of Punishment" that "all major executions and rectifications of crimes are done in the city." Therefore, Li Er chose the location of Lingchi at Xishikou.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming~!"
As soon as Li Er finished speaking, all the civil and military officials began to flatter him.
Shanbei's eldest brother's eyes were watery, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. In fact, his heart was quite complicated at the moment. Although Nakamura Chuanxiong had committed a heinous crime and had implicated the Japanese country and was punished by the Tang Dynasty, Nakamura Chuanxiong was in any case Xiongdu is a native of Japan. He personally sent the people of Japan to the Tang Dynasty today and handed them over to the king of the Tang Dynasty to be slaughtered. For him, this is not a glorious thing no matter how you look at it!
Li Zexuan watched with great pleasure. He thought that when a country is strong, it is a shame. If you want to "sanction" people from any country, just let that country send people over. This is the treatment of a big country!
"Your Majesty, the eldest brother Shanbei came here this time. In addition to escorting the prisoners, he also brought the friendship of the king of Japan - two hundred thousand catties of brass and one million taels of silver! Since Emperor Guangwu of the Central Plains Jianwu In the second year of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, the Japanese state has had contacts with the Central Plains. Everyone in the Japanese state admires the culture of the Central Plains. Therefore, I hope that the Japanese state will be willing to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to cultivate the Qin and Jin Dynasties, and the Japanese state will also be willing to be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Every year, it will be like the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court pays tribute and declares itself a vassal. This is the credential of the Japanese state. Your Majesty, please read it!"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang speaks Chinese very well, and he is also very familiar with the history of the Central Plains. He quotes scriptures in his words, as if he has lived in the Central Plains for decades!
But no one pays attention to this!
Two hundred thousand brass, one million taels of silver!
Everyone in the court was stunned by Japan's generosity!
One million taels of silver!
According to the current annual silver output of the Tang Dynasty, it would take one hundred years to accumulate so much silver!
"Haha! Okay! Someone, please present your credentials!"
These days, there are actually people waving money and asking to be their little brother. How could Li Er have any reason to refuse? Moreover, it was in front of envoys from so many countries, which undoubtedly made him lose face!
After getting the credentials of the Japanese state, Li Erning read it carefully. Seeing that the words on it were very polite, he nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Queen Tuigu is very sincere. I accept the Japanese state's feelings for the Tang Dynasty! From now on! Starting today, Japan officially becomes a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and accepts the protection of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I congratulate Your Majesty~!"
How could anyone in the court object to this kind of thing that would not only benefit the Tang Dynasty but also bring face to the Tang Dynasty? When Li Er finished speaking, all the civil and military officials congratulated Li Er without hesitation.
Li Zexuan secretly felt a pity, because if the Japanese country became the "little brother" of the Tang Dynasty, it would be difficult to occupy it in the future!
Although he thought so, he couldn't think of any suitable reason to object to this matter at the moment. He could only watch Li Er happily accepting his younger brother there!
