Just when he was about to order his troops to quickly surround the Japanese camp, he suddenly saw a dozen people running from the restaurant.
When those people got closer, they discovered that the two people in front were actually Zheng Lingxuan and Zhuge Nan.
Zhuge Nan smiled and said: "Wu Shaoqing, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time."
"wait for me?"
"Yes, we suspected that the Baekje people were hiding in the Japanese Embassy in Beijing, so we led people to surround the place and sent people to inform you. Didn't you meet the people we sent?" Zheng Lingxuan said.
It was the first time for her to command such a large operation, and she did not dare to make any decisions. Zhugenan had arrested the wrong person last time, so he was a little timid. Therefore, although the two surrounded the Japanese garrison, they did not dare to act rashly and decided to send people to attack Wu.
Chengsi asked for instructions.
Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "I have been in the palace just now. I guess the people you sent can't find me."
"Then why did you suddenly bring people to reinforce us?" Zhuge Nan asked strangely.
"Xu Jingzong has already confessed. He told me that the Baekje people are hiding here!"
Zhuge Nan cheered, and Zheng Lingxuan said happily: "Then General Su has been exonerated?"
Wu Chengsi nodded with a smile and said to Li Duozuo: "Immediately cooperate with the people from Dali Temple and surround the Japanese camp. Don't let anyone go!"
Li Duozuo accepted the order and went with half of his troops.
Wu Chengsi led others to the gate. Because he had to wait for Li Duozuo to complete the siege, he did not take action immediately. He asked Zheng Lingxuan: "How did you find out that the Baekje people were hiding here?"
Zheng Lingxuan smiled and said: "Zhang Lei told me. When he was investigating the Khitan people, he accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the Baekje people. After discovering that they were hiding here, he notified me."
Wu Chengsi nodded, and after waiting for a moment, he suddenly heard movement coming from the courtyard and shouted loudly: "Do it!"
Zhuge Nan acted the fastest, stepped forward, kicked the door open with one kick, and rushed in with his people.
Zheng Lingxuan glanced at Wu Chengsi and saw Han Cheng and Hei Te Changzhi protecting him, so she pulled out her sword and rushed in.
Wu Chengsi walked slowly through the gate and when he came to the courtyard, he saw Zhuge Nan and Zheng Lingxuan surrounding the open space.
In the middle of the open space, two groups of people were fighting, one of which was Japanese people led by Shou Dashi.
Wu Chengsi touched his chin and wondered: "Why did they start fighting on their own?"
Zheng Lingxuan frowned and said, "They were killing each other as soon as we came in. Maybe there was internal strife!"
At this moment, Shou Dashi, who was fighting with the Baekje people, saw Wu Chengsi and hurriedly said: "Master Wu, these people are Baekje people. They came to the capital to do harm to the Tang Dynasty. The envoy was about to
Capture them and present them to the imperial court!"
Fu Yufeng roared angrily: "Shou Dashi, you bastard, how dare you betray me, let's die together!"
Wu Chengsi waved his hand and said: "Take them all, capture them all alive!"
Shou Dashi said loudly: "Master Wu, don't listen to his nonsense. He wants to drag the little envoy into trouble because he is angry that the little envoy refuses to help him!"
Wu Chengsi ignored him.
Shou Dashi hesitated for a moment and said loudly: "No one is allowed to resist. Cooperate with the Tang officials. I believe they will give us justice!"
In a short time, all the Japanese people were captured, and only the Baekje people still resisted. However, they were small in number, and they were soon controlled by the people of Qianniuwei and Dali Temple.
Shou Dashi shouted loudly: "Master Wu, the envoy failed to catch these Baekje people in time, please punish Mr. Wu!"
Fu Yufeng roared angrily: "Tang officials, don't listen to his nonsense. I have been living in his mansion for a few days. He was planning to send me out of the city, but when he saw you surrounded this place, he suddenly killed me. All the Japanese people
He's a cunning fox, don't believe him! He sent me out of the city because he wanted me to deal with your Tang country after I return to the country!"
After hearing Fu Yufeng's words, Wu Chengsi suddenly had an idea in his mind.
In history, after the fall of Baekje and Goryeo, Silla, which had always been on good terms with the Tang Dynasty, became ambitious, expelled the Tang army, and unified the Liaodong Peninsula.
The Tang Dynasty had been busy for many years, but made wedding clothes for Silla. Since the results were so bad, it was better to change a strategy.
The country that hates Silla the most is Baekje. When dealing with Silla in the future, this Baekje prince may be able to play a role.
While thinking, I heard Fu Yufeng yelling at Heiji Changzhi: "Traitor, traitor! If it weren't for traitors like you, how could our Baekje country be destroyed?"
Black Teeth often lowered his head without any explanation.
Wu Chengsi walked up to Buyeo Feng and said in a deep voice: "Prince Buyeo, you know the reason for the demise of Baekje best. It was you who insisted on attacking Silla. I, the Tang Dynasty, tried to dissuade you several times, but you refused to listen. We
Only then did you agree to the King of Silla's request for help. Later, you insisted on forming an alliance with the Japanese and Korean countries and went to war with us, the Tang Dynasty, which led to your destruction."
Fu Yufeng gritted his teeth and said: "Our war with Silla has nothing to do with you, Tang Dynasty. Why do we have to listen to you?"
Wu Chengsi said calmly: "Because Silla is our vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will never leave a vassal country without mercy."
"It sounds nice, but aren't you afraid that after we conquer Silla, we will become stronger and pose a threat to your Tang country?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said, "What you said is not wrong."
Fu Yufeng was stunned for a moment and snorted coldly: "Aren't you, the Tang State, too overbearing?"
Wu Chengsi said calmly: "When it comes to national interests, there is no question of being overbearing or not. Think about it carefully. As long as Baekje is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, I can let you return to your hometown and let you Fuyu clan continue to govern Baekje.
.”
Fu Yufeng was surprised: "Are you telling the truth?"
"We Tang people always keep our word."
Fu Yufeng hurriedly said: "I am willing, I am willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty!"
Wu Chengsi said angrily: "I hope you will think about it for a while and think it over carefully before you turn around and hook up with the Japanese again." He waved his hand and said: "Put them into the Dali Temple prison!"
Fu Yufeng had this thought in his mind, so he did not resist anymore and followed Qian Niuwei away obediently. Shou Dashi said urgently: "Master Wu, the young envoy was wronged... he was wronged!"
Wu Chengsi sneered: "I know exactly how virtuous your nation is, and no one will wrong you if you are wronged!"
When the guard Dashi was taken away, Zheng Lingxuan asked curiously: "Wu Shaoqing, do you hate Japanese people very much?"
Wu Chengsi took a deep breath and said: "The Japanese country is located on a deserted island, with few resources and constant natural disasters. The ambition to invade the mainland has been deeply rooted in their bones. Don't look at them now, who look harmless to humans and animals.
Sending people over to learn the cultural etiquette of our Tang Dynasty is all to strengthen ourselves and prepare for future invasions of us!"
Zheng Lingxuan and Zhugenan were both surprised. This was the first time they heard this statement.
Black Teeth Changzhi suddenly said: "What Mr. Wu said is correct. When I was in Baekje, although the king formed an alliance with the Japanese country, he also guarded against them and contained them. The king once said that if the Japanese country becomes like the Japanese country,
If the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, all the countries in Liaodong will face annihilation!"
Zhuge Nan laughed and said: "As a small island country, it will never be as powerful as our Tang Dynasty!"
Wu Chengsi patted him on the head and said angrily: "If everyone is as blind and arrogant as you, our Tang Dynasty will decline sooner or later."
Zhugenan touched his head and muttered: "Why are you like your adoptive father? You just slap people on the head. If you slap me silly, who will help you solve the case in the future?"
Wu Chengsi rolled his eyes at him, saddled up his horse, and returned to Dali Temple.
Halfway through, there was a sudden sound and he forgot about those Koreans. He gave an order and asked Li Duozuo to take people to Xu Jingzong's house to get them. He had no interest in getting these small fish and shrimps himself.
In the next few days, a major earthquake occurred throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Because of Xu Jingzong, the case was widely implicated in the court, especially among the six officials, many of whom were implicated because they had been ordered by Xu Jingzong.
The case was jointly tried by the three divisions of Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment. It was originally intended to interrogate Su Dingfang, but it turned out to be trial of Xu Jingzong. Wu Chengsi, as the division of Dali Temple, also participated in the trial of Xu Jingzong.
The trend changed, and many officials in the court filed petitions to impeach Xu Jingzong, among whom the children of the Wu family were the most active.
