At night, the heaven and earth are full of lights and feasting.
Envoys from dozens of countries, large and small, enjoy a life of luxury with the public funds given by their kings. Faced with various ways of playing and facing their beloved dancer, they spend a lot of money without hesitation.
Here, they seemed to have forgotten the tasks their king had given them.
The only exception is the envoy of a country.
This country is the little Japanese country.
A group of little guys, after eating a big pot of rice, smelled the aroma of rice and the sound of singing and dancing coming from next door, and beat the ground in frustration.
Then they could only look at the ocean and sigh, they also wanted to go, but unfortunately their strength did not allow it, and their leader took all the money to befriend the King of Shu.
Since three months ago, hundreds of foreign students and envoys sent to Tang Dynasty by Inugami Odenaki all died mysteriously or disappeared overnight, Inugami Odenaki has also gone crazy with fear.
Later, he lived on the streets and competed with wild dogs for food. Tang Jian, the kind-hearted minister of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, sent him to the foreign embassy in heaven and earth, where he survived.
However, the news spread to Japan along with merchants.
Emperor Shuming of Japan was immediately frightened when he learned the news.
He also thought that Li Shimin was dissatisfied with the behavior of the Japanese country and killed all the envoys and overseas students he sent to Datang.
At this time, his queen Sasakino gave Emperor Shumei an idea. Now that the Japanese state is weak and the Tang Dynasty is strong, they must not be at odds with the Tang Dynasty. The Japanese state should endure it and continue to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn the advanced culture and political system of the Tang Dynasty, etc. When you return from your studies, you will innovate yourself.
When the Japanese economy and military grew rapidly, they would be on an equal footing with the Tang Dynasty. The emperor of Japan would be called the Eastern Emperor, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty would be called the Western Emperor. Silla and Baekje, which faces the Japanese nation by the sea, would be its vassal state.
After hearing this, Emperor Shuming felt that the queen was right and that this matter must not be against the Tang Dynasty.
So, he immediately sent the Japanese minister Su Wo into Lu, led a larger team to send to the Tang Dynasty, took the treasures they thought were very precious, and set out on the road to the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, Emperor Shumei of Japan was weak since he was a child, and lived in the shadow of the powerful minister Soga Noroka. He had long been unhappy with Soga Noroka, and the Sasakino family of Emperor Shumei's queen and the powerful Soga Noroka family were feuding.
The couple hit it off immediately, and the joint ministers took turns to fight, and finally persuaded the powerful minister Su Wo to enter Lu and go to the Tang Dynasty.
Soga Ruka was willing to risk his life and go on a mission to the Tang Dynasty. He actually had his own plan. He wanted to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to overthrow the throne of Emperor Shumei and become the emperor himself.
It had been more than two months since Su Wo entered the deer cape and cut through the waves, and finally he set foot on the territory of the Tang Dynasty. When he landed from Yangzhou, the Japanese people who followed Su Wo into the deer were shocked by the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
A feeling of inferiority arises in their bones, but their inner mentality that good things should be their own is even more unbalanced.
In Yangzhou, the officials who received them saw that Su Wo had entered the deer with many rare treasures, so he reported it to the imperial court. The imperial court also allowed them to go to Chang'an to admonish the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, but only allowed Tang envoys to be sent to Chang'an. As for the foreign students, they were temporarily allowed to stay in Chang'an. In Yangzhou City.
The envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty and a group of more than 20 people boarded a ship of the Tang Dynasty and went north along the Grand Canal from Yangzhou. After half a month, they finally arrived at Chang'an City.
The prosperity, huge city, and cultural heritage of Chang'an City deeply hurt Su Worulu's glassy heart.
However, at this time, Li Shimin was busy with many things, so he had no time to receive the Japanese envoy, even if the envoy coming this time was the powerful Japanese minister Su Wo Rulu.
So Su Wo entered the deer and was arranged to live in the foreign embassy in heaven and earth.
When they saw the former envoy to the Tang Dynasty, Inugami Odenaki, they were all stunned. Is this their envoy to the Tang Dynasty from Japan?
A man with a dirty face, disheveled hair, wearing tattered clothes, talking like crazy and a fool. Whenever anyone approaches, he shouts: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
But at night, in the dead of night, the lunatic came back to life with full blood, hugged Su Wo into the deer's lap, and cried like a child.
"Prime Minister, take your envoys and leave quickly, otherwise you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow..."
Suga Rulu was shocked. Could it be that Inugami Odenaki really annoyed Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and all the carefully selected talents of the Japanese country were killed by Li Shimin?
However, when Inugami Oda Akishou recalled what happened in great detail, Soga Niruka finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the Tang Emperor Li Shimin didn't kill him, it would be fine. He was afraid that Li Shimin would hate the Japanese country, which would be troublesome. Not to mention using the power of the Tang Dynasty to help him overthrow the regime of Emperor Shuming. Can he escape the Tang Dynasty alive? Returning to Japan depends on Amaterasu's last wish.
"You don't understand, Prime Minister, you really don't understand. I suspect that the person who killed my Japanese envoy that time was the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, King Shu. He was a living king of hell..."
"At the beginning, it was said that our foreign students collided with the King of Shu's carriage. That night, all the foreign students in Chang'an City and the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty did not live to see the sun. My deputy envoy was directly under my nose, and his head was directly hit. It flew up and warm blood splashed all over my face..."
Su Wo Rulu really couldn't understand that a prince could be so arrogant and domineering. In the Japanese country, Emperor Shuming would act based on his face. Let alone a prince, if I asked him to die at the third watch, he would never survive until the fifth watch.
This is meeting a soulmate!
"Prime Minister, this is my most sincere warning. I would rather offend the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, than the King of Shu, Li Ke. The Prime Minister must let our envoys stay in the embassy obediently and cannot leave at all. Also, absolutely not Go to the flower house next door to find the flower girl..."
Seeing that Inugami Odenaki said it was so serious, Soga Ruika felt disdainful in his heart, but he still took it seriously. After all, this is not a Japanese country.
The best quality of their Japanese people is to know how to be patient.
Later, Su Ga went to Lu to find merchants who could speak Japanese. From the merchants, he truly learned about the terror of the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty, the Living King of Hell. He also saw from envoys from other countries their fear of this person. .
From then on, Su Wo entered the deer and kept collecting information and deeds of the King of Shu, and also learned about the current situation of the Tang Dynasty.
Finally, Su Wo was no longer calm when he entered the deer.
I would rather make Li Shimin angry than make Li Ke, the king of Shu. When I see Li Ke, the king of Shu, running as far as possible is the wisest choice.
Therefore, Su Worulu issued a death order. All Japanese envoys must not go to the Wanhua Building next door, nor to the restaurant next door. We will live a small life in this small embassy, waiting for the visit of His Majesty Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. receive. BIquGe.biz
However, when Su Wo Rulu heard that the respected third prince Li Ke of the Tang Dynasty was getting married, Su Wo Rulu was so happy that he almost cried. This was an excellent opportunity to get close to the King of Shu and make friends with him.
They took out two-thirds of the rare treasures they had brought and prepared to present them to the King of Shu on his wedding day.
During this period of time, the envoys of the Japanese country lived a very poor life. For no other reason than to save money, they ate a big pot of rice every day, hoping to dedicate everything to the King of Shu.
Not to mention, they asked Inugami Odenaki to hand over the business that Japan had secretly run in the Tang Dynasty, and sold the shop and everything in exchange for money to befriend the King of Shu.
"What the hell are you looking at here, a bunch of poor guys?"
"You guys, get out of here..."
