British government.
Li Qinzai had a good sleep and was in a good mood when he woke up.
Until Song Sen came to visit again and conveyed a message to Li Qinzai.
"Your Majesty is angry?" Li Qinzai frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Literally, just angry."
"That's it?"
"That's right, that's all."
Li Qinzai blinked blankly: "Then what? Your Majesty is angry, why do you tell me? You should tell the Silla envoys, they did the bastard thing, not me."
Song Sen smiled and said: "I am just following His Majesty's will. I tell you that His Majesty is very angry. As for what County Lord Li will do next, I have no control over it."
Li Qinzai glanced sideways at him. Song Sen was an old official in the officialdom. He didn't take the initiative, refused, or took responsibility. This guy was born to live in night clubs and waste his money.
Of course, Li Zhi told him this sentence without any reason. So, what did Li Zhi want him to do?
Whether it's the emperor or the officialdom, talking is so annoying. He refuses to say anything out loud and has to go around a lot of detours to let others figure it out, as if this is how he appears to be literate.
Li Qinzai thought for a long time and then gradually tasted the taste.
Li Zhi was of course very angry when an envoy from Silla bribed a court official from the Tang Dynasty, but he was an envoy from a foreign country after all, and Li Zhi wanted to show the magnanimity and demeanor of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the outside world. It was not convenient for him to publicly deal with the envoy from a foreign country if he committed a crime. At most, he can only issue an edict and sternly reprimand him.
So, as the emperor's most favored minister, Li Qinzai needs to go out to work at this time.
It was necessary to deal with the Silla envoys severely and make him miserable, but at the same time, he must not let the envoys of other countries have a bad impression of the Tang Dynasty.
Although it is shameless to vent one's anger and gain fame at the same time, it is also very difficult to do it.
"I understand. You go back and tell His Majesty that I will try my best to satisfy His Majesty." Li Qinzai said weakly.
Song Sen smiled and said, "Does Mr. Li really understand?"
Li Qinzai said with an evil look: "Are you doubting my IQ?"
"I don't dare. I just want to ask, does Mr. Li need my help? After all, they are all sharing the emperor's worries, and Baiqisi is bound to do so."
"Yes, please help me find out the whereabouts of the envoy from Silla Kingdom tonight."
"Also, Silla, Japan, and Tubo, these three countries need Baiqisi to have spies in Seiguan. I want to know their every move while in Chang'an."
…………
As evening approached, Li Qinzai put on new clothes and walked out of the Duke's Mansion elegantly.
Standing outside the gate, Li Qinzai pondered for a moment, turned around and whispered a few instructions to Liu Asi. Liu Asi responded with clasped fists, and then summoned more than a dozen people. After listening to Liu Asi's order, the people remained silent. He left without saying a word and disappeared at the end of the street.
After everything was arranged, Li Qinzai led his troops into the carriage and headed towards Pingkangfang.
Tonight Li Qinzai made an appointment with Japanese envoy Fujiwara Yuno.
As a warm and hospitable Duke of Datang County, and because the way the Japanese envoy kneeled and licked after coming to Beijing was indeed very pleasant, Li Qinzai decided to treat him to dinner tonight and invite him to experience the colorful nightlife of Datang Dynasty.
The carriage came to a stop in front of a brothel in Pingyasufang. Fujiwara Yuno and more than ten followers were already waiting outside the brothel door.
Seeing that the curtain of the carriage was opened, Fujiwara Yuno bowed his body and stepped forward. Then with a wave of his hand, an attendant of the Japanese envoy immediately lay on the ground with his back to the sky, and respectfully asked Li Qinzai to step on his back and get out of the car.
Otherwise, it can be said that their service industry has reached its peak. Look at their service awareness, service attitude, and proper craftsmanship.
Fujiwara Yuno was in a very excited and cheerful mood tonight.
Li Qinzai took the initiative to invite him to visit the brothel. This was a very memorable historical moment. It represented that the somewhat mean and arrogant Datang County Duke had gradually begun to tolerate his existence.
This was a great victory for him personally and for the already subjugated Japanese country. Only by fully integrating into the circle of powerful people in the Tang Dynasty could the Japanese country have a future and the country's leader could gain some sovereignty.
After helping Li Qinzai out of the carriage, Fujiwara Yuno bowed without saying anything.
"I am honored to be invited by His Excellency Mr. Li County!"
Li Qinzai said calmly: "It's too early for you to be honored...the rules of the world are, I'll pay for the drinks in the box, and you'll have to pay for yourself."
Fujiwara Yuno blinked blankly and vaguely understood what he meant, and said hurriedly: "How dare you let Mr. Li spend money? All expenses tonight must be borne by me."
Li Qinzai's eyes lit up, haha, this is what he was waiting for.
Patting Fujiwara Yuno on the shoulder, Li Qinzai really admired him now.
"Sensible! You will live a long life."
The two entered the brothel side by side. Zhike took them to the pavilion and arranged them in a pavilion.
Fujiwara Yuno was busy working back and forth, pouring wine and serving dishes, as diligent and humble as a servant.
It wasn't until several beautiful brothel girls walked into the pavilion that Fujiwara Yuno sat down.
Drinking, listening to music, and enjoying dancing, the nightlife of Datang has finally begun.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Qinzai put down his wine cup and smiled at Fujiwara Yuno.
Fujiwara Yuno also obediently put down his wine cup and knelt down in front of Li Qinzai respectfully.
He knew that Li Qinzai could not invite him for no reason, and he must have something to say tonight.
Sure enough, Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Since the Tang Dynasty stationed troops in Japan, is your ruler in a happy mood?"
Fujiwara Yuno said with a smile: "The lord came to the country to sympathize with the vassals and help our lord take over the defense. The lord is very grateful."
Li Qinzai laughed loudly: "Although it is ridiculously fake, I am sure that you are very good at chatting."
Fujiwara Yuno said in fear: "I dare not lie even a word. The Japanese country has showered the emperor with the favor of the emperor from the head of the country down, and the whole country is grateful."
Li Qinzai's smile gradually faded and he sighed: "You and I have already been drinking in a brothel, so we might as well be honest with each other. Why did the Tang Dynasty destroy your Japanese country and why it stationed troops on your land? I believe your king knows it well..."
"It's certainly not a pleasant feeling to let others sleep soundly on the side of the bed, but you made a mistake first, and it is just retribution..."
Fujiwara Yuno did not dare to refute, so he could only laugh.
Li Qinzai gradually leaned forward and suddenly laughed again: "But now your Japanese country's opportunity has come. If your Japanese country seizes this opportunity, your king can at least breathe a sigh of relief and slowly relax his ties."
Fujiwara Yuno took a breath and said hurriedly: "Please make it public in Li County."
Li Qinzai was silent for a long time, then slowly uttered two words: "Silla."
Fujiwara Yuno was shocked: "Your Excellency, what you mean is..."
"You must have heard of the rumors that have been circulating in Chang'an City these past two days, right?"
Fujiwara Yuno nodded: "I heard it, my minister told you the news."
Li Qinzai grunted and said: "After Baekje destroyed the country, Silla gradually lost its courtesy and acted more and more wildly. Now it dares to bribe the officials of the Tang Dynasty. The emperor is very angry. Silla must be taught a lesson, otherwise it will not be blamed." , Where is the prestige of the Tang Dynasty? How can it dominate the world?"
Fujiwara Yuno vaguely understood something and said cautiously: "I wonder what County Lord Li needs from Japan?"
Li Qinzai said slowly: "If you, the king, want to have an easier life for the rest of your life, you must take the initiative to share the worries of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If Silla loses his courtesy, what will happen to the Japanese country?"
Fujiwara Yuno became excited and said without thinking: "Conquer the young and strong people of the country and defeat the barbarians who refuse to submit!"
