"Haha, Wan'er, how can you and I be so strangers? Besides, I also have a gift for the Crown Princess." Hearing this, Li Xian couldn't help but chuckle, then stretched out his hand and handed Wan'er over.
Then push the jewelry to her.
"Hehe, if that's the case, then I'll accept it." Shangguan Wan'er smiled faintly, her heart filled with sweet joy, and then she put the gift away.
In fact, it’s not surprising that Wan’er is happy. This is the first time that Li Xian has given him a gift in so many years, and he has done something extraordinary and given such an expensive gift. Does this mean that Li Xian has already paid attention to Li Xian?
What thoughts did she have?
In fact, Wan'er is not that greedy about property, but because the present gift was sent by Li Xian, the meaning is really extraordinary, so the sweetness in her heart is really unparalleled.
It's a pity that after delivering the gifts, Li Xian didn't take the next step. He found an excuse and left, which made the beauty full of resentment.
In fact, Li Xian could also feel the resentment in Shangguan Wan'er's heart. However, at this time, he could only pretend that he didn't notice it and left in embarrassment. After that, he did not dare to meet Wan'er in private again, so he came to the Japanese country.
At that time, the capital of the Japanese Kingdom was Shiga in Omi Kingdom, which was historically called the Omi Dynasty, and the leader of the Japanese Kingdom was Emperor Kobun.
In fact, in history, Emperor Kobun only existed for nine months before he was wiped out by his uncle, Prince Kairen, who rebelled. However, due to the participation of Shangguan Tingzhi, history actually changed.
It turned out that ten months after the death of the previous emperor, Emperor Tenchi, the 24-year-old Prince Otomo succeeded to the throne and became the later Emperor Kobun. Originally, according to Emperor Kobun's wishes, he should immediately recruit strong men and form an army to attack and threaten him.
The emperor's uncle, Prince Daizhi, was on the throne, but Shangguan Tingzhi, who was familiar with the events in history that reduced vassal status, urged Emperor Kobun not to do this, and to use slow rather than radical measures to deal with Prince Daizi.
Therefore, at the suggestion of Shangguan Tingzhi, the emperor decided to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, profess tribulation to the Tang Dynasty, and seek asylum. Since the emperor of the Tang Dynasty later called himself emperor, he ordered to cancel the title of emperor and call himself King of Japan, so that he could compete with the Tang Dynasty.
Achieve union.
In addition, Emperor Kobun, after listening to Shangguan Tingzhi's opinions, decided to first defend the prince of the sea, and at the same time sent his confidants to clean up the traitors hidden in the court, and also ordered relief for the people in the area ruled by the prince of the sea.
tax in order to win over the people and at the same time put the Dahairen prince on the other side of morality.
Prince Kairen was one of the main participants in the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese state of Baijiang Village. At that time, he and the eldest brother of the prince, who later became Emperor Tenji, served as the main combatants and served as the chief and deputy commanders of the war. However, after the defeat, Emperor Tenchi
He advocated a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, but the Dahairen prince has always been ashamed of it. He dreamed that one day he could avenge his shame and command his army to dominate the world. If he could seize the land of three Koreas, that would be great.
Therefore, he always advocated forming an alliance with Goguryeo to jointly deal with the Tang Dynasty. Later, when Goguryeo fell, he advocated forming a good alliance with Silla and helping Silla unify the three Koreas. Then he would take the opportunity to raise troops and enslave Silla. It was precisely with this intention
Because of this idea, the Prince of Dahai took the initiative to send the Japanese pirates who were actually under his control to help Silla in this war, gained control of the sea, and cut off the Tang Dynasty's maritime communication lines.
Although the current Prince of the Sea is eager to replace Emperor Kobun, he has not yet made up his mind to fight the final battle due to a series of measures taken by Emperor Kobun.
So today's Japanese country seems to be peaceful, but inside it is turbulent, and an unprecedented war may break out at any time.
Li Xian's fleet first arrived at a port on Tokaido. By this time, Japan had already received the news, because it was the eve of the outbreak of civil war. For Emperor Kobun, the arrival of the mission was nothing more than the hope of a severe drought.
, naturally attached great importance to this, so they sent Brother Su Wochi, the left minister, and Shangguan Tingzhi, whose pseudonym was Shang Tingzhi, to greet him.
"Brother Su Gachi, the minister of the left who was condemned by the leader of the Japanese Kingdom, was sent to visit the noble envoy of the Tang Dynasty." Brother Su Gachi was very fat, and it was difficult for him to even salute, but he was smiling all over his face.
, and showed great respect to Li Xian and others.
Under the influence of Shangguan Tingzhi, many people in the Japanese country learned to speak Tang Mandarin. As a left minister of the Japanese country, Brother Su Gachi admired the Tang culture very much, so he naturally spared no effort in learning Tang Mandarin, so he became proficient in it.
Standard Tang Dynasty Mandarin.
"No need to be polite." Li Xian glanced at the two people in front of him with a smile, and quickly exchanged glances with Shangguan Tingzhi, using both hands to support him, so that Brother Su Wa Chi didn't need to be polite.
"Haha, I wonder what I call this gentleman?" Brother Su Wochi originally thought that the mature and steady Li Yiyan was the envoy, but he didn't expect that a young man would take the initiative to answer. He couldn't help being surprised and asked quickly.
But Li Yiyan stepped forward and said, "This is my Highness, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."
"Ah ah ah, it turns out that His Highness the Crown Prince is here in person. I am unable to greet you from far away. Please forgive me for my sin." Brother Su Wachi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this. Although he saw that Li Xian was a noble man, he didn't expect that he was actually a nobleman.
The prince of the Tang Dynasty quickly bowed his hands and saluted again, showing his sincere respect.
Li Xian said softly: "Minister Zuo, there is no need to be polite. Our country, the Tang Dynasty, and your country are separated by a strip of water. They are neighbors, and today they have become allies. There is no need to be polite at all. Haha, actually speaking of this, I am here this time.
I really want to ask for something when I pay my respects to the Lord of your country. Minister Zuo is so polite, and I am flattered."
"Haha, Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. The head of our country has said that the friends of the Tang Dynasty are our friends, and the enemies of the Tang Dynasty are our enemies. What's more, those rogue bandits ignored the diplomatic relations between our two countries and sent troops to intercept them without authorization.
Such behavior in the Waterway of the Tang Dynasty is truly despicable. Even if His Highness the Crown Prince does not come, the Lord of the Japanese Kingdom is actually preparing to send troops to attack those rebellious gangs. Haha, this is not the place to talk. His Highness the Crown Prince will accompany me to the post to rest."
Brother Su Wochi chuckled and led Li Xian to the Guanyi Station not far away.
At this time, Shangguan Tingzhi stood quietly, waiting for all Li Xian's envoys to come out, and then escorted these people to the hotel from behind. However, when a middle-aged woman suddenly appeared in the cabin, she suddenly felt
There was a big earthquake, and his complexion suddenly changed drastically.
"This, this, this, could it be that she is here?" Shangguan Tingzhi looked shocked. If he hadn't been in a special environment, he would have run away long ago. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
