Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 294 Sending envoys to Japan with heavy responsibilities
The ruling and opposition parties are still more concerned about the tribute and professment of the Wa Kingdom.

Although this country is small, it is still a country. As early as the Han Dynasty, it became a subsidiary country of the Central Plains.

Now that it has become a country under the Tang Dynasty, if it is spread out, it can also boost the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin sent people to investigate around, and found a few cases of news related to the Japanese. Although it was not as ungrateful as Li Fangchen said, the reputation was indeed mediocre.

He doesn't know etiquette, doesn't know how to repay kindness, and is completely like an uncivilized stranger.

The king of Qin was recruited into the palace again, but this time Li Fangchen brought another piece of news.

"Father, there are gold and silver mines in the Wa country, enough for my Tang Dynasty to mine for a hundred years!"

Li Shimin, who was still hesitant at first, immediately straightened his eyes when he heard this.

"Is this true?"

Li Fangchen said with a smile: "In the past few days, my minister went to see the Japanese envoy."

In a word, this matter was pushed to the head of the Japanese envoy.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "If that's the case, this matter really needs to be discussed in the long run!"

Li Fangchen smiled and said: "Since the Wa Kingdom sent Tang envoys to Chang'an, why didn't my Tang Dynasty also send people to the Wa Kingdom?"

Li Shimin asked puzzled, "What do you want to do?"

Li Fangchen replied: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles!"

Li Shimin squinted his eyes slightly. This brat had obviously been treated as a meal by the other party, and he insisted on eating it.

It is strange to say that this is the first time that the King of Qin treats a small country so deliberately.

Wa country?

Could it be that when Yu'er was outside, she met Japanese people and was wronged?

Thinking of this, all of Li Fangchen's actions were explained.

Li Shimin couldn't help guessing in his heart that it was not easy for Pingyang to live alone with Yu'er.Coupled with the fact that he has kept his name incognito for these years, it is inevitable that he will suffer some grievances.

Li Fangchen didn't know that Li Shimin had already condemned the Japanese to death in his heart.

The two made a total calculation and selected a candidate, intending to let him be the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to the Wa country.

Gao Biaoren, the third son of Gao Jiong, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, Tai Changqing in the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, is now the Duke of Bohai County in the Tang Dynasty and the governor of Xinzhou.

Xinzhou is close to Goguryeo and other places, and has a little understanding of the customs and customs of other countries.

Gao Biaoren, as a veteran minister, naturally understood his "real mission" to go to Wa Kingdom very easily.

He was recalled to Chang'an, Li Shimin and Li Fangchen met at the same time, Gao Biaoren was full of surprises.

He was extremely respectful to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and His Highness the King of Qin, and his words were mostly admiration.

"Mr. Gao, Xiao Wang has two requests!"

"His Royal Highness, but it's okay to say, I will go all out!"

Li Fangchen glanced at Li Shimin, but he didn't see the other party stop him, so he said: "I also invite the county magistrate to find out three things after entering Japan!"

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"First, where the gold and silver mines are located in the country of Wa; second, who is in power in the country of Wa now; and third, the distribution of forces in the country of Wa!"

Gao Biaoren hesitated, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"King Qin's meaning is what I mean, Gao Qing just obeys orders!"

"Yes! I understand!"

It can't be said clearly that in a few years, Datang will attack the Japanese country, right?
Back in the mansion, Gao Biaoren still had hesitation on his face, and he really couldn't understand why His Majesty and His Highness the King of Qin had such a meaning.The special agent went to Honglu Temple and took out some classics to read.

I plan to start with it, so that he can get a clue.

The Japanese kingdom in the history books, since the Sui Dynasty, sent envoys to the Central Plains many times, and even sent many people to study in various places in the Sui Dynasty.

Those great Confucian scholars in the Sui Dynasty were all bowed down by each other.

It's a pity that the Sui Dynasty at that time didn't care about the idea of ​​a small country at all.

When Gao Biaoren saw the contents of the letter of credence sent to the Sui Dynasty by the Japanese kingdom, Gao Biaoren's face gradually became gloomy, "Arrogance and ignorance! Be reckless!"

On the surface, it looks like a kingdom of subordinates, but in the letter of credence, there is a faint meaning of equality with the Sui Dynasty.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness King Qin and His Majesty are angry at the country's defiance?"

He began to think in his heart, how to complete the tasks that His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Qin explained after he went on a mission.

"My lord, the guard outside the door reported that several people came to the door to ask for an audience, and they possessed the order of the King of Qin."

Gao Biaoren hurriedly said, "Please!"

There are a few young people in brocade clothes, and the luxurious image is difficult to express in words.

"I don't know how many are there?"

"You are Duke Gao, right? We are the guards arranged by the King of Qin to enter Japan with you."

"You haven't asked yet?"

"White Wolf Army, No. [-], Yuwen Army!"

Gao Biaoren's face changed, "But General Xiao, the Yuwen Army of Jianguo County?"

No. [-] saluted slightly, "According to the order of the King of Qin, we will be the guards of Duke Gao from now on. If there is an order, we will do our best!"

The guard of the Duke of Qin's mansion, that is really famous.

King Qin had a seventeenth man beside him, but he never expected to send out the No. [-] Yuwen Army because of his high appearance.

Gao Biaoren would not think that King Qin was worried about his own safety, but the pressure in his heart doubled.

It seems that the King of Qin has already moved his heart towards the Wa Kingdom. These guards are apparently protecting Gao Biaoren, but in fact they may have other purposes.

"It's not a big gift, Yu Wenhou invites you quickly."

No. [-] stood up with a smile, and turned to Gao Biaoren to explain the people around him, "These people are all centurions in my White Wolf Army. Duke Gao should have heard the name of the White Wolf. This time On the trip to Japan, a few of us will guard the trip for the county magistrate!"

Gao Biaoren nodded repeatedly, "I'm sorry to bother you all, please sit down."

The few people were not polite, and sat down everywhere, the rigor on their faces never dissipated.

Gao Biaoren hurriedly sent someone to serve tea, and he was very polite to them. This was the person who was going to leave Datang with him next.

With them around, my life is safe, and I can rely on something when I go to the Wa country.

No. [-] said: "Mr. Gao, you are welcome. The few people I wait for are just guards. If there is a need, just ask."

Gao Biaoren nodded again and again, His Royal Highness Qin Wang was thoughtful, with them around, he could be considered as a helper in matters that he was worried about before.

In the White Wolf Camp, Li Zhi and Li Yin were still weeping and training, the tearing sensation from their muscles pushed them to the limit.

"All! Run around the camp, ten laps!"

On the stage, Li Fangchen was not polite, he would rather make them suffer a little more, but let them know that the royal family has no dudes!

The two boys gritted their teeth and followed behind Li Tai. Every step they took was a great test for them.

"My son, can you still hold on?"

Seeing that Li Yin had turned pale, Li Ke in the front row couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Li Yin shook his head stubbornly, "I'm fine, how is sixth brother?"

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and was completely speechless, it seemed that he couldn't last long.

Halfway through the training, the two children fell to the ground one after another, unable to get up again.

"Carry it down, pass it on to the doctor!"

"Yes!"
