Chen Yi, Helan Minzhi, Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui and others did not leave the palace. They followed Wu Zetian to the Golden Palace and were doing business in the side hall.

"Empress, according to my investigation, the members of the Japanese delegation are very active these days. Some delegation members often wander around the workshops of our military weapon surveillance. They try to inquire about the latest development of the military weapon surveillance and firearms. The Japanese delegation came to the Tang Dynasty this time, which was really bad!" Chen Yi informed Wu Zetian of some of the situation he had in front of Helan Minzhi, Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui and others.

He deliberately spread the situation where our Tang Dynasty was developing new weapons and firearms to let the Japanese delegation know. Unexpectedly, the Japanese were really interested in this, and sent people to inquire, and even wanted to use money to buy relevant personnel to find out the latest situation of the military weapon surveillance. Chen Yi originally wanted to capture them, but he thought that he should regain the Japanese's appetite and was about to see what follow-up actions they had before making a decision, so he didn't take action.

This happened today, and we could tell Wu Zetian about this, as well as the big bosses in the court like Pei Xingjian and Liu Rengui, which made the Japanese's bad behavior more and more known.

Chen Yi seemed very excited. When talking about the Japanese inquiring about military weapons and military weapons, he also added fuel to the firearm information and talked about the bad behavior of the Japanese in other aspects, including their cruelty, rudeness, rudeness, and even liked incest. He was surprised by Wu Zetian, Helan Minzhi and others, but they became more and more disgusted with the Japanese.

What happened in Zichen Hall today was indeed something that Chen Yi did not expect. He was a little excited. Before today, Chen Yi did not find out the content of the Japanese submitting the national letter. He did not know that their mission to the Tang Dynasty would have such a purpose. He dared to ask the Tang Dynasty to recognize them to change the national name "Japan" in front of Wu Zetian and recognize their Japanese king as "Emperor". This was an accident. This did not make him feel angry, but it made him full of excitement. It was not impossible to deceive Wu Zetian and other ministers in the court to take a tough stance against the Japanese. Originally, he thought that it would take a lot of effort and means to arouse the hatred of the Tang Dynasty's monarchs and ministers against the Japanese. Now it seems that it is very simple to provoke.

This of course made him excited. He thought that one day he would step on Japan, trampling all the Japanese under his feet, and even erasing Japan from the long river of history. The Japanese people no longer existed, so he couldn't hide his excitement.

But Chen Yi was still a little angry. In addition to being angry at the arrogance of the Japanese, he was also angry at the ineffective work of his subordinates! He sent so many people but did not find out the entire purpose of the Japanese delegation's trip to the Tang Dynasty. Although there were many people arranged the arrangements and all the members of the Japanese delegation were fully grasped, the several purposes of the Japanese delegation's trip were not found out, and his subordinates lacked abilities!

When we got back, we would call Zhang Qianxu, Du Xiaosheng, Liu Jingtong and others and scolded them hard, so that they could do their best. No Japanese could do such surprising actions and could not find out in advance.

Chen Yi's thoughts arose as he spoke, because he was a little angry and excited. After finishing the matter, he still looked mixed with joy and sorrow. This made Wu Zetian and others strange. Fortunately, he quickly reacted, stopped his expression and waited for the reactions of the other people. Of course, the others reacted. After hearing what Chen Yi said, they all looked solemn.

"The Japanese plan to strengthen the country, and are interested in everything in our Tang Dynasty. I heard that our Tang Dynasty military weapon surveillance is developing new weapons. They want to find out the situation!" Pei Xingjian looked at the people present, sighed, and then slowly breathed, looking gloating.

"They have learned too many useful things from my Tang Dynasty. I must not let such things happen again!" Chen Yi immediately agreed, and then looked at Liu Rengui with a smile: "The battle in Baijiang Village of Liu Xianggong made the Japanese people's self-confidence collapse. I want to learn everything from my Tang Dynasty. I want to learn the Tang Dynasty's technology and system opportunities to make the Japanese stronger. We should not let their purpose succeed! Unfortunately, the arrival of the Tang Dynasty mission last time still allowed the Japanese to learn a lot. Many of the ancient books we collected were taken to the Japanese country by them. This time, we cannot let them do what they want! Moreover, we must never agree to the King of Japan as the "Emperor", so where should I place my Emperor and Empress!"

"That's true!" Helan Minzhi followed suit, looking indignant. "The King of the Japanese called himself the 'Emperor'. This move ignored the majesty of our Tang Dynasty. If he agreed to his request, where would His Majesty and the Empress be placed? Not only could he not agree, but he would also refute it strongly, and he would also denounce the King of the Japanese. Otherwise, he would join forces to imitate him. What should he do?"

"Empress, the Japanese will not die if they covet my Anton land," Chen Yi glanced at Wu Zetian, whose expression had not changed, and said softly: "Previously, the Japanese supported Baekje to resist our army, just to interfere in Liaodong affairs, to expand their influence to the Liaodong Peninsula, and even to classify Liaodong as their own power. They have now taken in many descendants of the Baekje royal family, and some defectors from Goryeo also fell into Japan and were worshipped by the Japanese. Some figures from the Silla royal family also came to Japan. They wanted to use the influence of these people to plot against Liaodong! However, after the war in Baijiang Village, the Japanese knew that their strength was far inferior to that of our Tang Dynasty. The combat power of the army, especially the navy's combat power, was not at the same level, so they worked hard to strengthen their strength, and wanted to use the opportunity of learning the advanced skills of our Tang Dynasty to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and then compete with our Tang Dynasty for Liaodong!"

"The Chen Dajian said it is very reasonable. The Japanese will not die if they covet Liaodong. Their land is too small and barren. They have long planned to be rich in Liaodong. We must not let them succeed. It's a pity that after the Battle of Baekje, our Tang Dynasty did not continue to fight against Japan!" Liu Rengui sighed slightly. He had submitted a letter to the court that he would send a navy to beat the Japanese when the Japanese were defeated. However, Li Zhi, Wu Zetian, and other ministers at that time, including Su Dingfang, did not pay attention to the Japanese and did not take them seriously at all, and ignored Liu Rengui's invitation.

Chen Yi was not easy to respond when Liu Rengui said this. He was afraid that Wu Zetian would look ugly.

The others didn't say anything, they just looked at Wu Zetian.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Wu Zetian glanced at everyone, sighed softly, and asked slowly: "Then I want to ask you all my dear friends, how should you treat Japan?"

"Empress, I think that the best way to solve the possible threats of the Japanese once and for all is to eliminate them when the Japanese are not strong enough! Send a large navy army across the sea and land on the Japanese island. Destroy its country!"

"Ah?!" Chen Yi's suggestion surprised everyone, including Wu Zetian!

Xuanzheng Hall, the festival day!

On the first day of the second month, officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing, as well as envoys from the foreign vassals were all present.

According to convention, the first and fifteenth day of each month are the grand ceremony day, but the scale of this grand ceremony is different from the day of the New Year. However, the number of officials in Beijing, the number of people is much smaller, and they are not held in Hanyuan Hall, but the place where ordinary court meetings are held--Xuanzheng Hall.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Wu Zetian, who was in charge of the court, had just walked into the hall, accepted the ceremony from the ministers and sat down. There was a agreed issue today on the court meeting day. That was to let the Japanese envoys hand over the letter of the country as the palace.

"The envoys of the Japanese Kingdom came to the hall!" The sharp and long voice of the eunuch of the Sili Dynasty sounded, and they were circulating step by step, "The envoys of the Japanese Kingdom came to the hall...The envoys of the Japanese Kingdom came to the hall..." With this voice, many courtiers and foreign envoys turned their faces and looked out of the hall. They couldn't understand why the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom came to the hall today.

Generally speaking, the foreign missions submitted letters to the national government in a short time after arriving in Chang'an. Almost all the foreign mission envoys believed that the letters of the Japanese mission had been submitted, and no one could guess that there would be a wonderful show next. Even those uninformed officials of the Tang Dynasty thought that this was just a regular meeting to submit letters to the national government or express special favors to the Japanese envoys.

With the announcement of the eunuchs, the Japanese envoy Cheng Zheng envoy Hanoi Whale, who was waiting outside the hall, and the deputy envoy Sakao Hoshi, Shi Ji, led by the eunuch, walked into the hall. After walking into the hall, the eunuch who led the way stopped and asked Hanoi Whale and Sakao Hoshi Ji to enter the hall by themselves. The complex mood of Hanoi Whale and Sakao Hoshi Ji were neatly dressed. Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall, they walked towards the hall with their heads raised and their chests raised.

The Japanese were short, and most of the members of the Tang envoy were like this, and the same was true for the Hanoi Whale and Sakao Hoshi. Chen Yi estimated that they were only over 1.6 meters short at most, nearly one head shorter than ordinary Han people. The ministers in the court were few short and shorter, and most of the other foreign envoys were very tall. Walking among the tall people, Hanoi Whale and Sakao Hoshi felt much pressure. Many of the tall foreign envoys showed contempt on their faces, and they looked down on them because the Japanese were so short.

"The Japanese envoy Hanoi Whale (Deputy Envoy Sakahobu Shiji) bowed to His Majesty the Queen of the Tang Dynasty," Hanoi Whale and Deputy Envoy Sakahobu Shiji respectfully saluted in front of the hall, and presented the letter of the country high above their heads.

Without waiting for Wu Zetian to speak in the palace, Hanoi Whale took advantage of the situation and said, "According to the order of our Japanese Emperor, I will submit a letter to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Empress. Please mercy..."

"Rare!" "Bold!" Before Hanoi Whale finished speaking, she was cut off by several similar voices in the hall.

What the Japanese Emperor, such a rebellious word, actually came out of the Japanese envoy's mouth, which made the ministers with the most powerful positions in front of the palace immediately jump out and scolded the Japanese envoys. Unexpectedly, Hanoi Whale and Sakaobu Shiji, who suddenly caused anger, were startled and even the letter of nationality held above their heads fell down. They quickly leaned down and picked them up in a hurry.

This embarrassing action made those jealous of the Japanese Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty look at them differently. Other foreign envoys who could have appointed so many international students to study in the Tang Dynasty laughed out loud. Almost all foreign envoys showed gloating. They already understood what was going on. Today, the Japanese envoys were obviously looking for abuse and dared to call their king the "Emperor" at such a large-scale meeting. Isn't this naked slap the Tang empress Wu Zetian sitting in the hall? As the supreme country of the Celestial Kingdom, how could the Tang Dynasty, which was the leader of countless servants, allow a king from a small foreign envoy to call himself "Emperor". The Japanese king called himself "Emperor" and occupied all the "Heaven". What is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Do you still have to be under the "Emperor" of the "Emperor" of the Japanese King? Everyone knows that there will be a good show next, and the Japanese envoys will be in trouble.

Not only did the envoys of foreign vassals think so, but even many ministers who were not aware of the matter felt that today, the envoys of Japanese vassals dared to speak so wildly when submitting their letters, and they must give them good-looking things. They would not accept them without modifying the titles in the letters. If the envoys of Japanese vassals were not threatened at the court meeting today, the matter would be difficult to deal with. Maybe many foreign vassals followed the actions of Japan, and there were kings from various countries calling themselves emperors everywhere. Then the world would be in chaos? How can the status of the lord of the Tang Dynasty be guaranteed? It would not be an exaggeration to describe the chaos in the world.

Wu Zetian, whose face was as cold as ice, watched his highness and his ministers scold the Japanese envoys in a cold manner, and did not stop them.

In the original history, Li Zhi once called himself "Emperor", and Wu Zetian regarded himself as "Emperor", and ranked among the "Two Saints" in the court. However, because Chen Yi, an outsider who originally did not belong to this history, Li Zhi disappeared from the historical stage too early. Although the title of "Emperor" was brewing, and Li Zhi had private discussions between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, the most popular one was not released. However, Wu Zetian had already discussed with Li Zhi about the title of "Emperor" and "Emperor". Now a small Japanese king is submitting a letter to her to claim "Emperor". His envoy said such words in the palace. Didn't this slap her in the face in person? She would not tolerate it anyway.

The reaction of the ministers was very unexpected to Wu Zetian. She did not expect the court officials to have such a fierce reaction, but this made her very happy. She didn't need her to scold her first. The ministers spontaneously rebuked the Japanese mission, and more and more people stood up to reprimand him, pushing Hanoi Jing and Sakao Shi Ji aside. The two chief and deputy envoys of the Japanese mission did not even have the chance to speak and defend themselves, and were sprayed with spit on their faces, which was very embarrassed. They even had difficulty in "protecting themselves", let alone submitting the letter of state or other. Moreover, their letter of state was thrown to the ground when they were frightened just now. After picking it up, they couldn't resist the forced scolding of the ministers. In a panic, they fell to the ground again. They didn't step on themselves, and were stepped on by the approaching ministers. Although they tried their best to pick it up, many footprints on the letter of state were already stepped on, and some places were also trampled.

The angrily rebuked by the officials of the Tang Dynasty made Hanoi Jing and Sakaobu Shi Ji a little unable to withstand it. He couldn't even erase the saliva on his face. He just protected the letter of nationality that he had finally snatched back, with no one looking.

They didn't expect the scene today. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
