Chapter 32 Tang etiquette

Wu Chengsi heard that the name was strange, so he called up Wu Chengsi's memory and checked. It turned out that the black-toothed Changzhi was a descended general of Baekje, and was currently serving as the Qianniu Guardsman.

Li Duozuo said in a daze: "It is indeed him."

Wu Chengsi asked curiously: "Why, do you know anything?"

"Reporting to the Young Master, this morning, the young general saw General Black Teeth talking to Gao Lan near Hanyuan Hall. The young general didn't pay much attention at that time. It wasn't until Gao Lan died that the young general felt something was wrong."

"It seems like this is the murderer." Wu Youji said, crossing his arms.

Wu Chengsi asked in confusion: "But those two people died of poisoning?"

"It's very simple. Black Teeth Changzhi only needs to knock two people unconscious and then pour poisonous wine into their mouths." Li Duozuo explained.

"No, if that's what you said, their expressions wouldn't be so horrified!" Wu Youji said suddenly.

Li Duozuo thought for a while and then said: "That might be to restrain them and then force-feed them poisonous wine!"

"Then what is his motive?" Wu Chengsi asked.

Xue Ji said: "Xiaoguan heard that Hei Te Changzhi was a demoted general from Baekje, and Lu Bianzhuan was a demoted general from Goryeo. The two have always been at odds, so it is not surprising that Hei Te Changzhi killed Lu Bianzhuan."

Wu Chengsi nodded. He was really not used to this case being solved so easily. He waved his hand and said: "General Li, give me an order to take people to arrest Hei Te Changzhi and take him to Dali Temple. The rest

Just leave it to Dali Temple for trial."

Li Duozuo nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a scolding voice sounded: "You barbarian, how dare you be so rude?" The speaker was Princess Taiping, who was staring at Shou Dashi with an unhappy expression.

"Cousin, what's wrong?" Wu Youji's eyes darkened.

"He keeps staring at me! It's so annoying!" Princess Taiping's pretty face turned red.

Shou Oishi originally thought she was a palace maid, so he took a bold look and took a second look. Unexpectedly, he realized that she was actually a princess. He immediately knelt down and begged, "Princess, forgive me, princess, forgive me!"

Cui Baosheng rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, the envoy is guilty!"

Others ignored him, and he said to himself: "You bastard Shou Dashi, when talking to the envoy yesterday, he mentioned Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Queen. The envoy said at that time that the figures of the Tang Dynasty are not comparable to those of small countries like us. Your Highness

You and your empress are descended from heaven, so how can you talk about blasphemy behind your back? Who would have thought that this bastard said...but said..."

Shou Dashi looked at Cui Baosheng in astonishment and forgot to refute for a moment.

Wu Chengsi's eyes lit up and asked: "What did he say?"

"He said that the princess and queen of Tang Dynasty were not as good as the princess and queen of Japan. He also said that if he met the princess and queen of Tang Dynasty, he must take a good look at them. The little envoy thought that he was just talking, so he did not report it.

"I didn't expect him to be so bold. This is all the envoy's fault!" He knelt down on the ground.

"Baga!" Shou Dashi roared angrily: "When did I say such a thing? You cunning Silla pig, when I return to the country, I will definitely report to the king to punish your Silla country!"

The muscles on Wu Youji's face jumped, and he stepped forward with clenched fists, as if he wanted to attack Shou Dashi. Xue Ji stood in front of Shou Dashi, frowning and said: "Uncle, this person is a foreign envoy, please don't do it.

impulse."

"Who are you, and you dare to stop me?" Wu You said in a cold voice.

"Fifth brother, don't be rude!" Wu Chengsi shouted.

Princess Taiping turned to glare at Wu Chengsi: "Second cousin, do you want to go back and protect these barbarians?"

Wu Chengsi said angrily: "When did I say that I would protect him? I just said that you are not allowed to be rude to Editor Xue. He is a court official. You are not allowed to be too rude in the future!"

Princess Taiping snorted: "Then how are you going to punish this barbarian?"

Xue Ji added: "Your Royal Highness, the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. These foreign envoys visiting our country represent a country. When it comes to relations between the two countries, please be careful what you say."

"You little editor, are you trying to teach me a lesson?" Princess Taiping said with a smile. Anyone who knows her well knows that this is a precursor to her rage.

Wu Chengsi shouted: "Taiping, have you forgotten what I just said?"

"You..." Princess Taiping was furious, her face turning red.

Wu Chengsi turned his eyes and glared at Xue Ji: "Xue Ji, let me ask you, where is this place?"

Xue Ji was stunned for a moment and replied: "This is the Hanlin Academy."

"Is this the land of the Tang Dynasty or the land of the Japanese country?"

"Of course it is the land of the Tang Dynasty."

"Foreign envoys are disrespectful to the princess in the Tang Dynasty. How should we deal with it?"

Xue Jihui came to his senses and said seriously: "It concerns the relationship between the two countries and should be handled with caution."

"That is to say, foreign envoys have special privileges in our land of the Tang Dynasty! And our laws of the Tang Dynasty cannot control them, right?" Wu Chengsi said coldly.

"This... That's not what I mean..." Sweat appeared on Xue Ji's forehead.

Wu Chengsi said seriously: "Compiled by Xue, a big country must have etiquette, but more importantly, it must have dignity. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the country? Where is the prestige of the emperor?"

Princess Taiping, who was sulking, turned her anger into joy and said with a smile: "Isn't that true? Is it possible that we allow these small countries to act arrogantly in front of us?"

Xue Ji said: "But if this leads to a war between the two countries..."

Li Duozuo said coldly: "Then destroy the Japanese country!" Wu Youji crossed his arms and said: "Yes, capture the king of the Japanese country and bring him to Chang'an and teach him the etiquette of our Tang Dynasty!"

Mamoru Oishi felt chills all over while listening.

He had been in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and he knew that the people of the Tang Dynasty were gentle and courteous on the surface, but in fact they were fierce and domineering. There was a powerful country called Gaochang, which was destroyed just because it blocked the Tang Dynasty caravan. I heard that the king was frightened to death!

There was also the Kingdom of Zhongtianzhu, because the new king attacked the Tang Dynasty mission. As a result, the leader of the mission, Wang Xuance (note: Baili Xuance's prototype) summoned the Tang vassal countries and directly destroyed Zhongtianzhu, and the king was captured in Chang'an.

There are also Eastern and Western Turks, Khitan, Kucha, Baekje...

Countless countries were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty rarely took the initiative to attack, as long as anyone dared to disrespect this powerful empire, the consequences would be extremely cruel.

Thinking of this event, Shou Dashi said in horror: "My lord, my lord, our Japanese country has always admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and we would never dare to be disrespectful at all!"

Wu Chengsi ignored him, looked at Xue Ji and said: "The barbarians are afraid of power and have no morals. We, the Tang Dynasty's law, cannot control foreigners in our own land. This will not only undermine the majesty of the law, but also chill the hearts of our people."

Even those barbarians will not think well of you, they will only think that you are weak and easy to bully. You might as well ask the ambassador to see if he thinks so."

Shou Dashi said in a trembling voice: "Little envoy... no, I don't dare."

Xue Ji smiled bitterly: "I understand, I understand."

Princess Taiping smiled and said: "Second cousin, you still have more sense. I wrongly blamed you just now. How are you going to punish this guy?"

"You'll know in the evening!" Wu Chengsi said with a smile. He not only wanted to punish Shou Dashi, but also wanted to use this opportunity to terminate the envoy to Tang!



Jinluan Villa, study room.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei stood in front of the desk, and Li Zhi stood behind, holding Wu Mei's delicate body, holding her delicate hand, and teaching her how to paint.

At this moment, Xie Yaohuan entered the study and reported that Duke Zhou asked for an audience. Wu Mei smiled and said: "The case in the Hanlin Academy must have come to an end. This child has become more and more capable recently."

Li Zhi let go of his hand, walked to the chair, sat down, and said with a smile: "It's not like you taught me well." He turned around and ordered: "Xuan Zhou Guogong is here to see you."

Wu Chengsi entered the study and saw Li Zhi'an sitting on a chair and Wu Mei standing next to him, looking gentle. Only Li Zhi and his father were so lucky to have the Queen standing next to them.

.

After Wu Chengsi said goodbye, he reported the case of the Hanlin Academy in a few words. When he heard that it was the case of Hei Te Changzhi, Wu Mei frowned and said: "How could it be him? Chengsi, are you sure?

?”

Wu Chengsi was about to nod when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he shook his head and said: "He is just a suspect at the moment, and we can't be sure yet."

Wu Mei scolded: "Since you can't be sure, what are you reporting? Why don't you go check it out!"

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Meiniang, don't blame him. Chengsi is probably afraid that we will be anxious, so he came to reassure us first."

Wu Mei hummed: "I just praised him a few words, and he became irritable. It seems that he will not be able to handle big things in the future."

Li Zhi patted her hand and said: "You are just too strict." He turned around and said: "Chengsi, I heard that you and Taiping have been walking around a lot recently, which is good. Cousins ​​should move around more. But the expression

Brothers should not neglect each other. When you have time, remember to go to the East Palace to pay your respects to your cousin. He is not as smart as you. You can give him more advice on some state affairs."

Wu Chengsi hurriedly said: "My nephew has taken note of it." He was originally going to report about guarding the stone, but after seeing Li Zhi, he was afraid that he would be angry if he told him, so he resigned and left.

After leaving the palace, he sat under a pavilion leading to the Zichen Palace and waited slowly. Originally, men were not allowed to enter and stay in the harem at will, but Wu Chengsi was favored by the emperor and the empress, and no one dared to speak against him.
