The Tang Dynasty is still prosperous, but the Bangzi Kingdom is getting even more crazy. The Gao family and the Pu family, the leader of the Bangzi Kingdom, are competing for the throne of the Bangzi Kingdom.
The originally relatively stable situation in Bangzi City has been greatly affected by the crazy killings in other cities in the country. Although Gao Xiaojian and Pu Yisheng knew that it would be over sooner or later if they continued like this, they knew better that if they stopped, they would die even more miserably. .
The Tang Dynasty was completely victorious and captured several major cities. Silla and Baekje were a little worried after hearing the results of the Tang Dynasty. They did not follow Li Mingda's request to send troops to attack the Bangzi Kingdom, but signed an agreement with their leader Pu Yisheng. The agreement allowed the other party to free up their hands. Although Park Yisheng used all these freed up hands on civil strife, he violated Li Mingda's combat order in front.
Queen Jin Shengman of Silla felt uneasy. Taking advantage of the approaching New Year of the Tang Dynasty, she sent her daughter Jin Shengji, the future heir of Silla, to the Tang Dynasty to pay homage to Li Mingda.
The king of Baekje, King Uiji, didn’t have much favorable impressions of the Tang Dynasty at first. Later, because of the development of the Myeongjung Holy Sect, he gradually yearned for the Tang Dynasty. In addition, I don’t know why the Myeongjung Holy Church became out of control in Baekje. , he had no choice but to gradually embark on a pro-Tang policy.
It was only superficially pro-Tang Dynasty, and the current ones like Silla were much worse. Compared to Silla Queen Jin Shengman's approach, he was just following the trend.
It doesn't mean much to Li Mingda whether to follow the trend or not. A small country is not as powerful as one-fifth of a stick. If it weren't for the geographical problems, Baekje would have been destroyed long ago.
Silla only managed to hold on with the support of Li Mingda, otherwise it wouldn’t have been good.
Before Jin Sheng Jizi set off, she was full of curiosity. How powerful was the legendary Tang Dynasty?
What about Li Mingda, the legendary princess who started and helped them ascend to the throne?
Is Li Mingda the reincarnation of a god?
Can he complete the mission assigned to him by his mother this time?
She herself didn't feel confident, because Jin Shengman's idea was to have Li Mingda send troops to support them in taking down the Bangzi Kingdom, and then Silla would replace them.
Jin Mansheng also knew that such an ambitious plan was unlikely, so there were many other plans, such as Silla obtaining one-third of Bangzi's territory or Datang continuing to support some weapons for Silla to attack What a stick.
Also, if that doesn't work, can Silla be merged into the Tang Dynasty, and the members of the royal family retain their titles and live in the Tang Dynasty.
All the messy thoughts were told to her daughter Jin Shengji, and she didn't care whether her daughter could survive the situation.
People from Silla and Baekje came to worship, and these matters were all handed over to Kong Yingda. Although the Ministry of Rites was still called the Ministry of Rites, Li Mingda still changed the specifications and methods of the reception staff for them.
When foreign countries come to worship, they must have the etiquette that the Tang Dynasty should have, but the Tang Dynasty is not their slaves and servants, and they are not allowed to serve them like servants. A powerful empire must appear to be powerful.
The rules are set and if you don't follow them you will be punished.
All the foreign envoys arrived in Chang'an City and collected all their weapons. They were not allowed to carry them privately. There were no longer servants inside the embassy. They served tea and water themselves. The food and drink expenses were as usual for a slightly wealthy family. You have to pay for whatever special food you want.
Moreover, Li Mingda also poured a stone tablet and erected it at the entrance of the Ministry of Rites embassy. On it was a line of large characters written by Li Mingda himself: Anyone who does not obey the laws of the Tang Dynasty will be killed.
There is an air of imperial majesty between the lines.
Naturally, some people were dissatisfied with the new rules established by Li Mingda. They were used to the uncle-like treatment before, and the sudden strictness made them uncomfortable.
make trouble
Li Mingda is not afraid of this
Soldiers were mobilized to blockade the embassy, and the troublemakers were escorted under the stone monument. For minor cases, they could be punished with sticks or floggings, but for serious cases, they could be executed without mercy.
After traveling by boat and carriage all the way, the travel-worn Jin Shengji and her party came to the door of the embassy and looked at the stone tablet at the door of the embassy: "Those who do not obey the laws of the Tang Dynasty will be executed - Li Mingda."
If the majestic writing style can express the majesty of His Majesty Mingzun, it will be difficult to achieve what the mother explained. But fortunately, my mother knows that those are extravagant hopes. If the Holy Emperor Mingzun really agrees, I will feel more A terrible thing.
Just as she was about to enter the embassy, Jin Shengji subconsciously took another look at the stone tablet at the door. Looking at the black and red marks on the platform below the stone tablet, Jin Shengji curiously asked the official of the Ministry of Rites: "What are these?"
The official of the Ministry of Rites replied to Jin Shengji: "These are the blood stains left after the members of the envoy who did not abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty were beheaded."
Jin Shengji was really shocked when the official from the Ministry of Etiquette who received her said this. Good guy, this is what happened. It's so scary.
Covering her generous heart, Jin Shengji comforted herself: she was not those other envoys from other foreign countries who made trouble, she was a good child and would not make trouble.
After settling down in the embassy, Jin Shengji waited for Li Mingda's summons.
Hearing that the daughter of Queen Jin Shengman of Silla was coming, Li Mingda was confused at first. He had no idea what the Queen of Silla was causing. Could it be that he wanted his daughter to follow him?
Li Mingda felt that Xiaobai, Xiaowu, and Xiaorong could tear her apart. For example, Wang Rong, Li Mingda's first crush, had been completely trained by Murong Xue, and she had eliminated the kind of behavior she had when seeing Li Mingda. Mingda was in a bad situation where he was extremely nervous and his whole brain went blank, but he turned into a good and obedient child.
Wang Rong thought about how to serve Li Mingda better every day, which made Li Mingda, who was already in the salted fish mode, rack his brains and come up with the idea of putting her away so that he could take care of himself.
After some tossing, Li Mingda threw Wang Rong to Xu Hui.
Originally, she wanted Xu Hui to correct Wang Rong's outlook on things that was ruined by Murong Xue, and also to reduce the feeling of being spied on by always having a pair of eyes around her.
The result was completely beyond Li Mingda's expectation. She forgot that Xu Huicai was successfully educated by her in the first place, and handed over Wang Rong to her. Wang Rong, who had a chance of rescue, completely surrendered at Li Mingda's feet.
The future of the Wang family that Lao Wangtou had originally placed his hope on was completely gone. What he was most worried about happened. After seeing Li Mingda working day and night for the country (salted fish sleeping), she asked how to better help Li Mingda govern. The breakthrough point of a good country is its own family.
