The Japanese envoy was received and treated with complete enthusiasm and a meal of good wine and delicious food.
Immediately afterwards, Chai Shao went to find Li Sheng.
While Li Sheng was fooling around in the East China Sea with a group of beautiful women, he also went to Japan to find Chai Shao to drink and work for the army... While Li Sheng was working for the army, he even said hello to Wei Ziyu, who was in charge of the ship, and asked her to take the others with him.
Then he went out to fish for team building, and would pick him up again in a few days. But Li Sheng himself... drank with Chai Shao, and even had a drink with a group of old soldiers from the Forbidden Army who he knew when he met. At this time,
I was gone for several days in the blink of an eye.
There was such a trouble-free prince in the Tang Dynasty, and Chai Shao was speechless. However, just when the Japanese envoys arrived, they brought a... complicated situation no matter how you look at it. Naturally, Chai Shao didn't get used to it and directly pulled him.
Li Sheng came out to discuss.
After all, you are also the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and you are also a military officer appointed by His Majesty. Why don't you come to consult on military matters and keep it for the New Year? Humph...
So Li Sheng naturally got the letter from Japan that Chai Shao had received...
Seeing Li Sheng starting to read, Chai Shao picked up a pot of tea and began to sip it slowly, waiting for Li Sheng's opinion.
Although this matter seems simple, Chai Shao always feels that it is not that simple...
The canonization of the Han Dynasty, if you think about it carefully, can indeed be used as a gold medal to avoid death. The Tang Dynasty does not admit it - it is normal, after all, the army is not here for tourism. It is not a matter of disappointing the people and the Forbidden Army soldiers, so I asked
What do you think of the military resources you spent?
But if you don’t recognize it, that doesn’t seem to work.
Can you not recognize the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty? I'm afraid there is something wrong...
The more Chai Shao thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was indeed quite complicated.
So... I am also looking forward to Li Sheng's answer.
After all, Li Sheng always comes up with answers that hit the mark every time, which is no joke.
After a while...
Chai Shao was still drinking tea when he saw Li Sheng slowly taking away the letter in his hand.
I couldn't help but feel something in my heart. I took a sip of tea and put it in my mouth without swallowing it. My heart tightened secretly.
Has His Highness already thought of something?
This moment...
Li Sheng suddenly asked, "What does this word mean?"
Chai Shao spit out a sip of tea...
Then Li Sheng handed over the letter. Chai Shao looked at it again and realized that Li Sheng was asking about the seal on the letter - it was the seal given by the Han Dynasty to Queen "Bimihu", the ancestor of the Japanese nation. The font on it was simple.
After reading the seal characters, Li Sheng showed doubts.
However, Chai Shao, who knew what Li Sheng was wondering about, was a little confused himself. How could Li Sheng, who was the most knowledgeable in the world, not know seal characters? However, this was not a big deal. Chai Shao talked to Li Sheng and then asked
He said, "What does the Holy King think about this matter? The old man is really in a dilemma."
As Chai Shao said, he really felt that it was difficult for the Japanese country to move out of the Han Dynasty's name.
But Li Sheng just smiled slightly.
"Isn't this simple? The Han Dynasty conferred the title on the Japanese country and called them Mouse Tail Juice."
"Mouse tail juice? This is..." Chai Shao was startled. What kind of place has such a strange dialect? But then Li Sheng said it again.
"The Japanese state served the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty granted the Japanese state status; the Japanese state offered tribute to the Han state, and the Han state gave the Japanese silk cloth, gold and silver in return. Everything is an exchange, what can't be recognized? This is just a contract.
"
Chai Shao was really stunned this time, "But if we recognize the Han Dynasty and canonize it, then we won't be able to fight against the Japanese country..."
"Who said that?"
Li Sheng directly interrupted Chai Shao and said, "We have ennobled the Japanese country. Normally, of course we cannot attack them. But the Japanese country colluded with the Han's enemies, and Te Niang's pirates robbed the Han's merchant ships. Why can't we attack them?"
"When a merchant ship's goods were shipped out and were robbed by pirates, all the lives on the ship were lost. After the goods were built and shipped out, in addition to the sailors and merchants on the ship, how many craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty made a living from it?
?There is nothing left. This kind of behavior is just the behavior of animals. Even if it were a big man, he would still beat them... No, according to the temper of Emperor Wei Huowu, he would directly penetrate them in less than a minute!"
As soon as Li Sheng said this, Chai Shao's face was filled with astonishment... and everything came to mind in an instant.
That's right...that's right.
The Japanese had accepted the canonization of the Han Dynasty, so under normal circumstances they could not be beaten.
But now it was the Japanese who colluded with the enemies of the Tang Dynasty and colluded with the pirates, which directly caused economic losses to the people of the Tang Dynasty and put their personal and property safety in danger.
What is this called? This is called deviating from normal conditions.
Since this is not a normal situation, then this contract is of no use!
Chai Shao was immediately overjoyed!
An old face turned into a chrysanthemum with laughter on the spot...
Thinking about it this way, this matter can be solved in an instant. Isn't my military achievement with zero casualties settled again?
Chai Shao was almost excited.
Chai Shao felt overjoyed when he thought that he would be able to show off in front of Li Xiaogong, Li Ji... these old men in the future, and the most important thing was to be able to pretend that these old men were pretending to him.
If fighting is not for showing off, then there is nothing...
But then, there was still a faint smile on Li Sheng's face, and there was no strong fighting spirit... No, to be precise, Li Sheng's face at this moment had a smile that looked like "with bad intentions"
meaning.
"Mr. Chai, are you planning to find a time to take action?..."
"Hey, such a good thing must come on a good and auspicious day..." Chai Shao was still full of excitement, but suddenly he also discovered that Li Sheng seemed... It seemed that his willingness to take action was not very strong, but...
Looking at His Highness's expression, there was also an inexplicable... strange smile that gave me a chill down my spine.
Chai Shao suddenly felt something in his heart, "What is the clever plan of the Holy King?"
"A clever plan... I can't even talk about it, but I think Mr. Chai can stop fighting with the Japanese for now."
"Ah? This...why is this?"
Chai Shao was greatly surprised.
This Japanese dared to collude with the sea pirates, Siam and Luzon, plunder the maritime merchants of the Tang Dynasty and bring trouble to the Tang Dynasty. Shouldn't we fight? But Li Sheng's words were "not busy" rather than "don't fight"
, Chai Shao was also a little curious.
"For no reason... the main thing is that the country of Japan is a place similar to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Didn't this junior also talk to Mr. Chai before? It's a place similar to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Then this matter is simple. Let's treat it as if it were the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Since the country of Japan itself has
Despite their bad deeds, the Japanese country still wants to sue for peace... Then let's put forward conditions. There is no need to fight or govern, and the benefits of free prostitution are the most fragrant, aren't they?"
Li Sheng showed an extremely evil smile.
It was even so evil that Chai Shao felt a chill coming down his back and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
