Chapter 674 Taking the opportunity of this military parade
"Your Highness Princess, how can you say such words and become a subject of the Tang Dynasty? Are you abandoning our Japanese country?"
For several days, the Japanese envoys were thinking about the words asked by their Japanese princess Su Wo Qinghe and Zhao Chen.
She is a majestic princess of the Japanese Kingdom, but she actually wants to become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty?
Isn't this a joke?
If envoys from other countries heard this, wouldn't they laugh to death?
No matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty was, it was not the homeland of Qinghe.
The Japanese envoy even wondered whether Su Qinghe just wanted to stay in the Tang Dynasty and follow Zhao Chen?
"Why did I abandon the Japanese country?" Su Wo Qinghe was a little unhappy and asked the Japanese envoy.
"Your Highness Princess, he Zhao Chen..."
"Zhao Chen himself said that if he were not a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, it would be absolutely impossible to enter Chang'an Academy."
"Xiangchenjun, you have heard and seen that in the country of the Tang Dynasty, even the emperor does not have much say in front of him, Zhao Chen."
"If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would have lost his head."
"Regardless of Zhao Chen's true identity, being on good terms with him is for the benefit of our country, Japan."
"I have also thought about it in the past few days. It is worth sacrificing myself to make friends with Datang." Suwo Qinghe said slowly, without any other strange expression on his face.
It seems that he is just saying that he joined Datang to make good friends with Zhao Chen and Datang.
"Where is His Majesty the Emperor..." The Japanese envoy was still uneasy and asked one more question.
"I have my own opinion. You don't have to worry about it. Don't brag in front of others in the future." Suwo Qinghe looked at the Japanese envoy.
…
"Your Majesty wants the military parade to be held at the same time as Zhao Chen's wedding?"
"You still want the soldiers to serve as a guard of honor for Zhao Chen?"
"Your Majesty, do you have any idea in your mind..."
In the Ganquan Hall, Wei Zheng looked at the emperor sitting above and pointed at his head.
It hints that the emperor’s head is funny!
To say such outrageous things.
From ancient times to the present, there is no talk of using the military as a guard of honor for weddings.
This is not a joke, but a challenge to Wei Zheng's three views!
Even if the emperor said that this was arranged for Zhao Chen, Wei Zheng found it difficult to accept it.
If this is really done, Zhao Chen will indeed be very prosperous, so what will other people think?
Prince, King Wei!
Aren’t their minds about to explode?
The King of Wei has been watching for the past six months, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
But if his interests were really touched, or if he felt a crisis, he would not stand idly by.
When he heard the emperor say this, Wei Zheng even felt that the emperor was deliberately trying to trick Zhao Chen.
After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin felt extremely annoyed.
Didn’t I just want to give Zhao Chen a grand wedding, so why was there something wrong with my brain?
You, Wei Zheng, keep talking a lot every day, but you have an idea?
"Xuancheng, you know Zhao Chen's identity. He has been outside for more than ten years, and both the queen and I feel we owe him a debt."
"In this wedding, the queen and I actually want to make it up to him."
"Moreover, Zhao Chen has made great achievements in Songzhou several times and has provided military training methods. I have not yet rewarded him."
"This wedding..." Li Shimin said this patiently and did not continue.
We are all smart people and there is no need to reveal everything directly.
"Your Majesty's wishes are understood, but after all, even the prince's original marriage was not so intense."
"Your Majesty, if you do this, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary disputes." Wei Zheng was still worried that the conflict between Zhao Chen and the prince would become more intense.
So that it got out of hand in the end.
At that time, the emperor and empress caught in the middle will probably be the most uncomfortable people.
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then handed an imperial edict in his hand aside and said: "Send the edict to the Beiya Imperial Guards."
…
"Mr. Wei, how much more of this art of war can you teach me?"
The soldiers are training at the Beiya Forbidden Army Station.
Li Jing stood on the high platform and supervised everyone's training. Hou Junji held a volume of military literature in his hand and asked Li Jing.
There is only the first volume of the Military Book, and the second volume is still being written. As for the middle volume, Li Jing did not send it to Hou Junji to read.
"We'll see General Hou again in a while!" Li Jing smiled and didn't say much.
Hou Junji was a little unhappy.
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, he studied the art of war with Li Jing, thinking that he would learn all about Li Jing's true legacy.
Unexpectedly, Li Jing saved a trick.
He told the emperor about this, but Li Jing actually said that he was born a rebel and would definitely rebel in the future.
That’s why you can’t teach everything you learn to yourself.
Hou Junji hated Li Jing from then on.
Rebellion, is this something you can talk about casually?
He actually told the emperor directly!
"Why does Duke Wei think that someone will rebel?"
"Will you inform your majesty?" Hou Junji became very angry when he thought of this.
Li Jing looked at Hou Junji and shook his head without saying a word.
"Li Jing, don't just rely on your great achievements to slander others. I..."
"Wei Gong, General, Wei Zheng, the admonishing official, has come to deliver the order." Hou Junji was about to speak when he heard a report from a local soldier.
"Wei Zheng? What purpose did he come to convey?" Hou Junji looked unhappy.
Because of Zhao Chen, Wei Zheng and Li Jing were on the same side.
The emperor asked Wei Zheng to deliver the edict, which must be something that Hou Junji did not like very much.
"Wei Gong, General Hou, your majesty has decreed that the Beiya Imperial Guards will serve as a guard of honor for the wedding of Wannian County Duke Zhao Chen on the Mid-Autumn Festival." Wei Zheng did not read the content of the imperial edict carefully, but simply summarized the important meaning.
Repeat it again.
"Wedding honor guard?" Not only Hou Junji found it unbelievable, but Li Jing himself also looked incredulous.
He had never heard of anyone daring to use an army as a wedding honor guard.
Even when the emperor got married, the honor guard was only a small team of several hundred people.
How many people are there in the Beiya Imperial Guard? More than 20,000 soldiers, all of whom are invited to serve as a guard of honor?
"Your Majesty means that Duke Wannian defeated the Tubo arrogance in Songzhou, boosted the morale of the Tang Dynasty, presented novel military training methods, and taught fighting skills. He has made great contributions."
"We are taking the opportunity of this military parade to let the officers and soldiers of the Bei Ya Forbidden Army show off in front of envoys from various countries."
"I won't bother you. Please take your time." After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he handed over and left.
Only Li Jing and Hou Junji were left with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Mr. Wei, I feel a little unwell, so I'm going back first. I'd like to trouble Mr. Wei here." After a short silence, Hou Junji excused himself and left.
He wanted to deliver this unbelievable news to Prince Li Chengqian.
A mere county official used the Beiya Imperial Guards as a guard of honor when he got married.
Where does this put the prince?
Li Jing naturally knew what Hou Junji meant.
But at this moment, it was Li Jing, and his heart was filled with waves.
In the past, Li Jing guessed that Zhao Chen was related to the emperor.
Later, the rumors in Jinyang made Li Jing firm up his thoughts.
However, Wei Zheng's message just now made Li Jing a little confused.
The Beiya Forbidden Army serves as a guard of honor!
No matter how you look at it, it feels like a compliment to Zhao Chen.
Is the emperor planning to deal with Zhao Chen or something?
