Silla was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty destroyed Baekje, it was a joint venture between the Tang Dynasty and Silla.
Of course, it was said that it was a partnership, but in fact it was Datang who contributed, and Silla at best acted as a logistics and transportation company.
The transaction was successful, and Baekje was reduced to rubble. Now the Tang Dynasty has supported a puppet regime. In fact, Baekje has become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that in order to maintain the image of benevolence and righteousness, it is still necessary to hang a fig leaf. Baekje's puppet regime is the fig leaf of the Tang Dynasty.
When mentioning Silla in the Tang Dynasty, almost all men would smile.
The most famous specialty of Silla Kingdom is Silla maidservants, but they are a bit expensive. Only the upper class and powerful families in the Tang Dynasty can afford them. Like Kunlun slaves, they are a symbol of the status of the rich and powerful.
But Li Qinzai’s impression of Silla was not good.
Putting aside all the shameless cultural thefts of later generations, including the theft of the World Heritage List, the national self-esteem of this country is simply sick and twisted, and there is a kind of ignorant and fearless arrogance.
After the allied forces of Tang Dynasty and Silla captured Baekje, Li Qinzai had a conflict with a certain governor of Silla Kingdom. Their behavior left a very bad impression on Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai was a courtier appointed by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to receive diplomatic missions from various countries. This identity had already been informed to the diplomatic missions from various countries.
However, since the Silla Kingdom entered Chang'an, it has ignored him as the imperial envoy who received the mission, and has never met him at all. The arrogance of its country can be seen clearly.
Don't these guys think that Li Qinzai should take the initiative to visit them?
Fujiwara Yuno was crying sadly in front of him. Apparently he was bullied miserably by the Silla envoy.
Li Qinzai was a little irritated. The grown man's moaning was so disgusting, and he was still moaning in front of my house. So many onlookers were watching, thinking that the fifth young master of the Li family had rebelled against the Japanese envoy and finally abandoned him.
"I'll beat you if you cry again," Li Qinzai said coldly: "If you want to cry, go away and don't embarrass yourself in front of my house."
Fujiwara Yuno immediately stopped crying and looked at him with tearful eyes. The tears and snot on his face were mixed together. From time to time, he would blow out big snot bubbles. Coupled with the bruised nose and swollen face, the scene was really... horrible to watch.
Li Qinzai immediately looked away.
Why didn't the Silla envoy kill him?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Li Qinzai asked.
He was still kneeling outside the house, but Li Qinzai had no intention of inviting him in to talk. It would be too embarrassing to bring such a guy in.
Speaking of the fight between the two countries’ missions, we have to start with the historical grievances between the two countries.
Wa and Silla faced each other across the sea and were said to be neighboring countries, but the two countries did not deal with each other.
Especially after the Zhenguan Year, Silla's policy was completely tilted towards the Tang Dynasty, which led to the fact that the Tang Dynasty and Silla's coalition forces destroyed Baekje.
The Japanese country, on the other hand, has always played a weak role among the Tang, Xinluo, Baekje and even Goguryeo countries, and its ability to adapt to the changing circumstances is extraordinary.
But no matter how Japan adapted to the situation, it and Silla had been feuding for many years. The two countries are not big, but the rulers have wolfish ambitions. How can they get along?
Over the years, Japan, relying on its large number of ships, often went out to sea to rob Silla's fishing boats. Occasionally, it would land on Silla and have an autumn wind along their coast, robbing wealth and sex.
The conflicts between the two countries are accumulating and becoming more and more acute.
Therefore, after the two countries' missions came to Chang'an, although they both lived in Siyi Pavilion, they never interacted with each other.
However, living together in Siyi Pavilion will eventually lead to encounters in the mountains and rivers.
So fate started from the moment they met by chance.
The opening scene was each other looking at each other affectionately, and then the words "What are you looking at?" "What are you looking at?" and "Try again."
After the classic opening remarks, the two sides got into action.
Since it was an encounter, the Silla delegation happened to be outnumbered, so they gained the upper hand at the beginning of the war, knocking down all the Japanese delegations, and beating Fujiwara Yuno so much that he didn't even recognize his own mother.
Fujiwara Yuno couldn't beat him, so he ran to Li Qinzai's house in grief and anger to complain.
Look at this hopeless energy.
After understanding the whole story of the fight between the two countries, Li Qinzai sighed.
He feels more and more like a kindergarten teacher. He has to worry about everything he eats, drinks and poops. When Li Zhi sent him this job, he should have refused even to death.
"If you get beaten, of course you have to beat me back. What's the use of complaining in front of me?" Li Qinzai said in confusion.
Fujiwara Yuno was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "The envoys of Silla dare to be so arrogant and domineering in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, without caring about the face of the country. It is really too barbaric."
"How can I, who have been acquainted with the elegance of my country for a long time, be in the same league as the barbaric people? I have no choice but to ask Duke Li to advocate justice for me."
Li Qinzai stared at him, his clear eyes seemed to have seen through everything.
"Stop covering up, you can't beat me, right?"
Fujiwara Yuno was stunned, and his expression became even more ugly.
A question that struck straight into his soul made him feel ashamed.
Li Qinzai said leisurely: "If you can't beat me, you can't beat me. You have been enjoying the elegance of the country for a long time. No matter how fresh and refined the reason is, in fact you still need Datang to help you come forward. Is this what you mean?"
】
Fujiwara Yuno's cheek twitched hard several times.
The words are true, but can't they be modified? Why put it so bluntly...
Li Qinzai sighed. He really didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters, but he took on the job after all. In theory, even if the envoy fell while walking, according to diplomatic etiquette, he should have intervened. .
"Let's go to the Siyi Pavilion. I'll sort it out. Whoever is wrong will give me a hundred dollars. Isn't that too much?" Li Qinzai said helplessly.
Fujiwara Yuno was overjoyed: "It's not too much! The Silla thieves have found this money! I congratulate County Duke Li on his fortune!"
Li Qinzai smiled. This guy really knows how to chat. No wonder he was chosen as an envoy by the director of the Japanese state.
…………
Siyi Pavilion.
The courtyard where the Silla delegation lived was obviously much more luxurious than that of Japan. It not only occupied a larger area, but also had a more reasonable orientation. Even the house was newly renovated.
Compared with the status of the Japanese Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty, the Silla Kingdom still had an advantage. The main reason is that Silla and the Tang Dynasty are still military allies, and this relationship will remain until the Tang Dynasty completely conquers Goguryeo.
Li Qinzai arrived outside the courtyard of the Silla Kingdom's mission, and there were two Silla followers on duty standing at the door.
Seeing Li Qinzai arriving, Silla's entourage stretched out his hand to stop him, and then babbled incomprehensible words.
This is a bit annoying. As an envoy, you can't speak human language when you come to Datang. What are you doing here?
Look at Fujiwara Yuno, he speaks Guanzhong more smoothly than the locals, and he has the perfect temperament as a translator for the Imperial Association Army.
Li Qinzai stood still, turned his head and glanced at Liu Asi and others behind him.
Liu Asi understood, and several tribes stepped forward, kicked the two Silla followers away, and then kicked open the door of the courtyard.
Liu Asi walked into the courtyard first, looked around and shouted: "The Duke of Li County of the Tang Dynasty has arrived, and the envoys of the Silla Kingdom came out and knelt to greet him!"
