Tsumotoyo saw that Gaisu Wen also agreed. He was very happy and said with a smile on his face: "We Fuso admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty. We not only make offerings to the Tang Dynasty every year, but also send people to study in the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tang Dynasty
But because of some trivial matters, they expelled our Fusang envoys to Tang Dynasty. This is a humiliation to us Fusang. This time I went to Datang as an envoy to get Datang to agree that Fusang would continue to send Tang envoys to Datang to study. But I heard that
Many officials of the Tang Dynasty look down on small countries like us and will stop it when the time comes. I hope you will show your support tomorrow."
The Tubo envoy said: "We in Tubo must be honest and forthright. I also have a task this time, to propose marriage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty on behalf of our country's leader. I hope everyone can help me when the time comes."
The others were not fools and did not express their opinions immediately.
It was obvious that Fusang and Tubo had other demands, and they had no other intentions. They came to the Tang Dynasty just to return gifts from the Tang Dynasty.
The reason why we agreed to the alliance was also to put pressure on Datang and make the gifts from Datang return even richer.
Although there is no harm in helping Fusang and Tubo, it is not beneficial either. Why should we help them?
Jin Benyang's face was gloomy and uncertain. He thought that if he called these people over and talked to them, they would help. Unexpectedly, these people were each smarter than the other and would not take the bait at all.
"Everyone, I have something to say!" Yuan Gaisu Wen said loudly.
Everyone was attracted by Yeon Gaeso Moon's voice and focused their attention on Yeon Gaeso Moon.
Although Goguryeo was very powerful among these countries.
However, most of their countries had no border with Goguryeo, and Yeon Gaesomun was only a deputy envoy, so many people did not take Yeongaesomun seriously.
However, this does not include Silla and Baekje.
The relationship between Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo is similar to that of the Three Kingdoms period.
The three countries have been at direct war with each other for hundreds of years. When Goguryeo was strong, Silla and Baekje jointly resisted Goguryeo.
When Silla became strong, Baekje also joined forces with Goguryeo to fight against Silla.
The three countries are united and hostile to each other.
Now that Goguryeo is powerful, the envoys from Baekje and Silla naturally know the nobles of Goguryeo very well.
Although Yeon Gaesomun was not very famous at this time, they did not dare to underestimate Yeongaesomun just because of his surname Yuan.
After attracting everyone's attention, Yuan Gaisuwen said with a smile: "Everyone, I think we should help Fusang and Tubo. Not only that, when we get the gift list from the Tang Dynasty, we can ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for more gifts in return.
."
The Tang Dynasty was talking about rewards, so naturally they would not admit it. Rewards were generally used between kings and ministers, or between suzerains and vassals.
Many of their countries were not vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, so they naturally did not recognize that the Tang Dynasty was a reward to them, and privately called it a gift in return.
"Then who will mention it then?" Jin Chunqiu pointed to the core.
Many people were moved by what Yeon Gae So-moon said and calmed down after hearing Kim Chun-chu's words.
If they do this, they will definitely arouse the anger of the Tang Dynasty, and whoever proposes it will bear the greatest firepower.
Who will pick it up then?
Their mission is to bring back the Tang Dynasty's gift. Getting more is just the icing on the cake.
But if you offend Datang, you might lose your life if you go back.
Jin Chunqiu went to Goguryeo many times as an envoy, and Yeon Gaesumun naturally knew him.
Jin Chunqiu has an extraordinary status. He is the grandson of King Jinji of Silla and the grandson of King Jinpyeong of Silla. The current Queen Seondeok of Silla is his aunt.
But now Silla is the weakest country among the three kingdoms. Even if Jin Chunqiu is the Silla royal family, Yeon Gaesumun doesn't care.
Yeon Gae Suwen said calmly: "I raised it, so of course I will raise it."
"Since Deputy Ambassador Yuan has said so, I definitely support it."
"I support it too."
…
Some people charge into the battle, which benefits them, and if they fail, some people bear the main firepower. Why not agree?
Yeon Gae Suwen sneered in his heart, what big thing can these wallflowers accomplish?
"What I mean is that we first help Fusang and Tubo, and then ask the Tang Emperor to give more gifts from the Tang Dynasty. If everyone has no objections, we will do it when the time comes." Yuengai Suwen said.
"We listen to Deputy Envoy Yuan." Except for a few people, the others said in unison.
Jin Benyang scolded Yeon Gaesomun all over in his heart. Although Yeongaesomun persuaded everyone to help him, he was not happy.
He recruited people, but now it seems that Yeon Gaesumun is the main one. How can he be happy?
Tsumotoyo consoled himself, as long as he could complete the emperor's mission, nothing else mattered.
Thinking this way, Tsumotoyang felt a lot better.
Everyone discussed some details before going back.
…
When Jin Chunqiu returned to the courtyard where he lived, the deputy envoy quickly asked: "Sir, I wonder what those dog thieves in Fusang want to do with you?"
Speaking of which, Fuso and Silla had a feud. More than a hundred years ago, Fuso attacked Silla. Silla lost several cities and had no choice but to ask Goguryeo for help.
If Goguryeo hadn't sent troops to support it, Silla would have been destroyed by Fusang.
The people of Silla did not have a good impression of the Fuso people.
Jin Chunqiu told the deputy envoy about the alliance of various countries.
"Sir, for such a big matter, we did not report it to the Queen, so we decided on our own. What will happen if the Queen blames us?" the deputy said worriedly.
Jin Chunqiu smiled and said: "I'm just dealing with them. So many people have agreed. If I refuse, can they let me go?"
"Then what should we do now?" the deputy asked.
Jin Chunqiu pondered for a while and said: "Baekje is now eyeing our Silla. Goguryeo has never agreed to the alliance and its attitude is unclear. Only by making good relations with the Tang Dynasty can Silla have a way out. I am going to tell the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty about this and win the victory."
The favor of the Tang Dynasty."
Jin Chunqiu had always advocated a pro-Tang strategy, but many people in Silla disagreed.
To say that it was close to the Tang Dynasty was actually to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
Coming to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty does not mean that it is a tributary state of the Tang Dynasty.
Once it became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the change of the throne of Silla required the consent of the Tang Dynasty.
If Datang needed it, they would also need to send troops to assist Datang.
And Silla is not at the end of its rope now, so they naturally don't want to have an overlord above them.
"What you are saying is that if you can win the favor of the Tang Dynasty, the queen will be very happy when you return," the deputy envoy said.
Jin Chunqiu explained: "I am going to see the officials of Honglu Temple now. If someone comes, you can find a way to deal with it."
Because of the Chinese New Year, there was only one temple chief in Honglu Temple on duty, and the rest were absent.
Si Cheng's surname was Huang, and Jin Chunqiu also knew him. After the ceremony, Jin Chunqiu told Huang Si Cheng about Jin Benyang's invitation to the envoys from various countries to unite.
After hearing this, Huang Sicheng's face changed drastically and he broke into a cold sweat.
He was on duty today and had no idea that something like this had happened. If he found out later, he would be in big trouble.
"Thank you, brother Jin, for telling me. I will report it to Mr. Liu right now." Huang Sicheng said gratefully.
Although he was usually polite to these envoys, in his heart he looked down on the envoys from these small countries and how could he be brothers with them.
Now Jin Chunqiu told him such a big news, which saved him from danger and even made meritorious deeds. Now Jin Chunqiu is more respected in his eyes than his own brothers.
"This matter is of great importance. Mr. Huang should report it as soon as possible," Jin Chunqiu said.
"I call you brother, why do you still call me sir? If you don't mind, just call me brother." Huang Si Cheng said displeased.
The corners of Jin Chunqiu's mouth twitched, "Damn it, you're already fifty instead of sixty. I'm only in my early thirties. How the hell do you want to be your brother-in-law?"
However, he did not dare to offend Huang Sicheng, so he could only smile and said: "Brother Huang, then this little brother will be offended."
"Haha, that's right. I'll go see Mr. Liu first and treat you to the best wine in Chang'an later." Huang Sicheng said.
The Minister of Honglu Temple was originally Li Daozong, but later Li Shimin transferred Li Daozong to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and the position of Minister of Honglu Temple became vacant.
After careful consideration, Li Shimin brought Liu Hongji back as Minister of Honglu Temple.
Although Liu Hongji is not very famous in history, it does not mean that he has no ability.
