"The dogs won't eat it."
Xu Fenglei refused decisively and threw the plate of dark and greasy scrambled eggs to the waiter.
"Throw it in the swill bucket."
"Yes, yes..." The waiter did not dare to neglect and hurriedly took away the plate of dark food.
These two uncles dare not let them taste it again. What if they are really poisoned?
Li Shimin's face darkened: "@#￥%...&*#!!!"
If the dog doesn’t eat it, then what does it matter if I just ate it?
"Your Majesty, do you have any cigarettes?"
However, Xu Fenglei didn't seem to see Li Shimin's expression and walked forward with a smile.
"No!"
Li Er rolled his eyes and replied with two words angrily.
Then, he took one out of his pocket and lit it for himself.
Two seconds later, a puff of smoke hit Xu Fenglei's face.
"Cough, cough..."
Xu Fenglei covered his mouth and nose, coughed twice, and shouted,
"Your Majesty, you don't do this... You said you didn't have it, so I just believed it, but now you sprayed it in my face again, this is not kind!"
Li Shimin took another puff.
"Not kind? You are not kind! You gave me that thing to taste, is that kind of you?"
He put out a cigarette with his right hand, picked up the tea cup with his left hand, took a sip to moisten his throat, and hummed softly,
"I asked you to contact the Japanese envoy. How was the contact?"
"I heard that the person leading the team this time is still a Japanese princess?"
Xu Fenglei shrugged.
"The contact was very good."
He said calmly,
"There was just a little incident in the middle, and the Japanese princess knelt down and kowtowed to me, then pressed the heads of the two envoys and apologized to me, so I forgave them generously."
puff!
"You...what did you say?!"
Li Er almost spit out his tea as he glared and said,
"You made that Japanese princess kneel down?!"
"You, you, you...you want to go to heaven! That's the princess of another country! Even if Japan is only a small country, you can't insult their princess like this! This has made other countries think that the Tang Dynasty is bullying its neighbors!"
Xu Fenglei curled his lips.
"What's this?"
He said dissatisfiedly,
"It was the Japanese slaves who scolded me first! What's wrong with me asking them to apologize? We don't bully others, but we can't be bullied by others, right?"
"If I swallow my anger and other countries find out about it and think that I, the Tang Dynasty, are easy to bully, that will be a disgrace to the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin: "..."
"...Okay, okay, you always have your reasons."
Li Er raised his forehead and said helplessly,
"Then tell me, what went wrong? Why are they scolding you for no reason? Are you tired of living?"
He didn't believe that the Japanese envoy dared to be so presumptuous.
If he really insulted Xu Fenglei for no reason, then he would not be tolerant - a mere island country, how dare you insult him in the face?
"When I arrived, they were using words to set a trap for Tang Jian..."
Xu Fenglei briefly described the whole story, which made Li Shimin a little unhappy.
"Returning to the descendants of immortals, you really know how to put gold on your face..."
Li Er said with disdain,
"You are right! Although it is unknown where Xu Fu went after he went to sea in history, your inference is obviously much more reliable than their boast."
"Maybe the Japanese are the offspring of those three thousand boys and girls and the local dwarf black people. I wonder what they have to be angry about? Do they think their ancestors have embarrassed themselves?"
Xu Fenglei spread his hands.
"Yeah, I'm wondering too."
He said,
"I just said a relatively credible inference, and the two envoys started yelling at me, calling me a bastard! Do you think I can bear this? In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, how can I let him be so small? Is the little Japanese pirate bullying you?"
"Just call some Yiwei and put the knife on their necks! Hey, guess what?"
Li Shimin was happy.
"What's wrong?" He held it up naturally.
"The swords and axes were added to my body, and my legs were so weak that I almost peed my pants."
Xu Fenglei grinned and said,
"I asked them to kneel down and apologize to me, but they were still not happy. In the end, it was the Japanese princess who knelt down for them."
"This is the situation. Just tell me what I did, right?"
Li Shimin took a puff of cigarette, casually took one out of his arms, and flicked it to Xu Fenglei.
"You did a good job! I reward you!"
He nodded and said,
"It was the Japanese who were rude first, you were just fighting back, that's right!"
"In the Tang Dynasty, there was no reason for foreigners to insult the Tang people, let alone insult the imperial officials! If you rebel against them..."
Tsk.
Xu Fenglei casually took a cigarette from the table, lit the cigarette, and took a puff.
"That's right...what His Majesty said is what I think."
He exhaled a breath and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Then what? After this episode... I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to talk, right?"
Li Shimin sat down casually, showing curiosity.
He had just kneeled down and apologized with his head pressed, and the next moment he was talking and laughing?
Everyone has self-esteem. If it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it.
"It's easy to talk to. The Japanese princess is on the right track and quite tolerant. When I treated her like that, she was still polite and respectful to me."
Xu Fenglei said softly,
"This woman is not simple."
"The stronger a person's endurance is, the bigger her plans will be. Just like a tiger must be dormant and patient when it locks its target."
The room was filled with smoke.
When Li Shimin heard this, he didn't care.
"No matter how powerful it is, how powerful can it be?"
He confidently said,
"How can a mere Japanese still want to plot against the Central Plains? Does she dare to have such big ambitions?"
From Li Er's perspective, only the Turks were considered opponents. Tuyuhun, Xueyantuo, and Goguryeo were only of moderate importance, while small countries in the corners of the country such as Silla, Baekje, and Japan were not considered at all. In eyes.
The Turks have all been destroyed by me, so what do you think of small countries?
Xu Fenglei chuckled.
"That's impossible to say."
He said,
"I saw the credentials they want to give you. What do you think it says?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Certificate of credence? I saw it."
He said,
"It's very respectful. The King of Japan calls himself the King of Japan, and calls me the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The tone between the lines... is just like what you said before about licking something, oh yes, like licking a dog."
"Then the King of Japan is just a dog licker. There is no problem. Even small countries... are like this."
Li Er's tone was somewhat domineering and confident.
It is perfectly normal for the king of a small country to treat him as a bitch. He has received a lot of such certificates of credence.
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"That's the second edition, that's not what the first edition was about."
He said,
"Do you want to hear it?"
"I miss you, so don't show off." Li Shimin frowned and said, "...Why is there a second edition? Is there anything disrespectful about the first edition?"
He had never heard that there was a spare version of the credential.
"In the first edition of the credential, the King of Japan did not call himself the King of Japan, but called himself the Emperor of the Sunrise Kingdom."
Xu Fenglei looked at Li Shimin and said,
"And I will call you the Emperor of the Sunless Kingdom."
Li Shimin's old face suddenly darkened.
"Think about it, what is a sunrise? It is a time when everything is full of vitality and everything is in full bloom!"
Xu Fenglei said happily,
"And what about the sun going down? It's the setting sun, and it's going to be dark soon."
"Tsk tsk...the difference between the two is really quite big, what do you think?"
boom!
Li Shimin slapped the table.
"Bitch!"
He said angrily,
"A mere Japanese slave king dares to call himself the emperor! He also calls himself the emperor of the rising sun, and degrades me to the emperor of the rising sun!"
"Why, in his eyes, his Japan is like the rising sun, going uphill, and my country, the Tang Dynasty, is like the setting sun, going downhill?"
"Shit!"
"I have no time to send out troops to destroy him, let him rise at sunrise, I beat him until he can't see the sunrise!"
Li Shimin threw away his cigarette butts in anger.
"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down..."
Xu Fenglei hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Li Shimin and said,
"Japanese slaves Yelang are arrogant, why do you need to be like them?"
Li Shimin took a breath and glanced at him.
"If you don't want to meet him? Then he'll get in trouble!"
Li Erleng shouted,
"You just asked them to kneel down and apologize, but I said it was too easy! You should give them a good beating to make these Japanese people remember better!"
Xu Fenglei was happy.
If Li Er gets angry, nothing will happen to him!
"Your Majesty taught you a lesson."
He cupped his hands and said,
"When I saw the letter of credence, I was extremely angry and tore it up immediately! I put the knife directly on the necks of the two envoys and asked them to rewrite it!"
"Thus, the letter of credence is presented to you."
"Looking back now, I was too merciful at that time. I should have beaten them up! And the sunrise? Let them lie on the bed first, don't want to watch the sunrise!"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
"Did you tear up that letter of credence?"
Xu Fenglei nodded firmly.
"That's right! If you don't tear up such outrageous remarks, why don't you send them to the palace to piss off your old man?"
He said matter-of-factly,
"At that time, I tore it into pieces and turned it into a shower of flowers!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly.
"Well done, well done!"
Li Er clapped his hands and said,
"I asked you to do diplomacy, and you did the right thing! If it were that guy Tang Jian, I'm afraid he would just laugh and pass without saying a word!"
"What you did, boy, won my heart!"
"From now on, we will follow this attitude. The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. We should be more polite to foreigners, but we must not be weak. When we should be domineering, we must be domineering, and when we should be strong, we must not be weak!"
"This is the empire's way of diplomacy!"
Xu Fenglei nodded repeatedly.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
He said,
"For those who dare to offend the Tang Dynasty, we should fight back forcefully and defeat them!"
"I have said before that the Japanese people have evil intentions and bad intentions! This time, it is true! Your Majesty, you must be more wary of them and don't show kindness to them. They are a bunch of immature people. White-eyed wolf.”
Li Shimin snorted coldly, with a look of disgust in his eyes.
"I hate it!"
He waved his sleeves and said,
"Originally, I wanted to meet the Japanese envoy. After all, the princess of a country came in person. Now it seems that there is no need to meet!"
"You are solely responsible for it. You will receive them for a few days and then send them away."
After listening to Xu Fenglei's report, Li Er no longer had any good impression of Japan. The words "Emperor of the Sunrise" made him unhappy when he thought about it.
A broken overseas island country, what are you pretending to be?
"According to the order."
Xu Fenglei smiled brightly, cupped his hands and said,
"I will satisfy your Majesty."
Seeing the emperor's expression as if someone owed him money, Xu Fenglei knew that his goal had been achieved.
Just to make him hate Japan!
Although I don’t know what the Japanese girl has in mind, I will never give her the slightest chance to climb up the ladder!
…
Chang'an Posthouse.
Haomiya Qianzhe's pupils shrank when she heard the report from Inugami Mikazuki in front of her.
"Then Xu Sicheng...has such a powerful background?!"
She murmured with a look of shock on her face.
Quan Shang San Ri Shu smiled bitterly, nodded and said:
"It's hard to believe, but it's true."
"Then Xu Sicheng is Xu Guogong Xu Fenglei, the marshal of the Tang Dynasty who just destroyed the Turks in the north. At the same time, he is also the prince's teacher and also serves as the minister of the Ministry of Industry."
"Although he made some mistakes recently and was dismissed by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and demoted to Honglu Temple, he is still one of the most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty! Maybe he will be reinstated in two days."
"Some people say that he has become a very popular minister. In the Tang Dynasty, he was one person below ten thousand people!"
Hiromiya Chizuru tightened her grip on the armrest.
"No wonder, no wonder he dares to be so arrogant..."
She murmured,
"You actually have such confidence..."
"This is a fairy from heaven, coming to visit the human world..."
Compared with a high-ranking official and a small official from Honglu Temple, the gap is as big as that between gods and mortals!
"yes."
Quan Shang Sanri Shu said with a scared look on his face,
"If we had known that he was such a person, even if his subordinates were brave enough, they would not dare to say such arrogant words!"
"Princess Qianzhe, we have offended him...what should we do next?"
Haogong Qianhe was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, it doesn't count as an offence. It can only be regarded as acquaintance without fighting."
She said,
"Although Xu Fenglei is domineering, he actually helped us. Tearing up my father's letter of credence was the greatest help."
"We only need to be respectful and humble to such people. If we can have a good relationship with him, we might be able to get close to Li Shimin through his power."
On the third day of the dog's journey, he raised his head slightly.
"Princess Qianhe, what do you mean..."
Uh-huh.
Chizuru Haomiya stood up from the wicker chair.
"Didn't I say before that I wanted to ask Mr. Xu to teach me cooking skills? He agreed at that time."
She smiled and said,
"Master Quan Shang, prepare a generous gift. I want to go to Duke Xu's mansion in person to learn cooking skills!"
"Follow your orders!" Quan Shang Sanri Qi accepted the order.
"etc."
Haogong Qianhe suddenly stopped him again and ordered,
"Bring the national treasure with you."
"Originally I wanted to ask Tang Jian to dedicate it to Li Shimin, but now it seems that it might be easier for Xu Fenglei to do it."
On the third day of the dog's journey, Chu looked solemn.
"Hai!"
