Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

As for Shen Lian, still as if he hadn't noticed anything, he said with a smile: "In this case, today's Council of Nations will officially begin. Just like before, everyone can speak freely."

As Shen Lian finished speaking, Prince Qihela of Tubo stood up impatiently.

He said, "My king has an idea."

Shen Lian raised her eyebrows slightly, she was a little too anxious for this agreement.

Anthony cooperated with a smile on his face: "What do you think?"

Qi Hela glanced at Shen Lian deliberately, and then turned to look at the others, as if he had asked for Shen Lian's opinion.

He said: "In this world, everything is for profit. Why do wars continue? Even if it is driven by profit."

"So, in my king's view, it is impossible to equalize each other. After all, the difference between a big country and a small country is too great. The big country has achieved its current status through the efforts of countless people. Why? Will you be willing to share the interests of a small country for no reason?"

"The small country is also afraid of the big country, because the existence of the big country is also threatening them, and they are to the big country..."

Qihela paused for a moment, and continued: "To put it bluntly, it's just a piece of meat. It just depends on whether the big country wants to eat it or not."

"So, this king feels that conflicts of interest between big and small countries are absolutely inevitable, and this cannot be resolved by just saying a few words casually."

"A small country can't beat a big country, and a big country covets a small country, so the atmosphere is always tense, and the small country is also in constant panic!"

"In this case, why don't we use peaceful negotiations to resolve it?"

Anthony said very cooperatively: "What way?"

The envoys of those small countries seemed to realize something, and their complexions turned bad.

As for Shen Lian, he still had that faint smile, which gave Chihela and Anthony the feeling that they had expected.

Qihela glanced at the envoys of the small countries with unkind faces, and said calmly: "This king feels that sooner or later, the big and small countries will provoke disputes because of their interests. In this case, why not use peaceful negotiation methods now... The small countries take the initiative Give up some benefits to big countries!"

"In this way, the big country will not covet the interests of the small country when it gains benefits."

"As for the small country, after paying some price, it can also gain the friendship of the big country. From now on, you don't have to worry about the big country giving it, and you can rest assured to seek development, so... This is completely killing two birds with one stone. You think... How?"

Brush it!
As soon as Qihela finished speaking, the expressions of the envoys from the small countries all changed.

Among the more than 100 countries, most of them are small countries, and there are only a few big countries.

Even Tiele, a country sandwiched between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, can be regarded as a medium-sized country.

So one can imagine how many small countries there are.

Among the 70 countries, at least [-] countries can be regarded as small countries.

Therefore, Qihela's few words directly angered more than 70 envoys.

But these more than 70 envoys are not of one mind.

Although Shen Lian had used various schemes to break up the alliance between these envoys, there were still some small countries that supported such powerful countries as Tubo or Dashi Kingdom because they were affiliated with Tubo or Dashi Kingdom.

Therefore, the only ones who were really targeted by Qihela were the 30 or so envoys who were fooled by Shen Lian to come to him, and the 20 or so envoys who didn't want to believe anyone and were very wary of anyone.

At this moment, because their own interests were involved, they immediately fought hard one by one.

"Nonsense!" This method is completely unreasonable.

"That's right, why should we pay the price? Why didn't the great powers put away their ambitions?"

"Is it okay to be weak?"

These envoys refuted one by one with red faces.

But when Qihela heard the words, he just snorted coldly: "Don't say it really, it doesn't make sense if you are weak."

"If you are not weak, then now is the time for you to exploit other countries, not other countries to exploit you, so... weak, that is the original sin!"

Even though Qihela has some brains, he still has the straight-forward temperament of Turks in his bones. At this moment, he sneered at the words of these envoys from small countries.

Anthony and other envoys from big countries also sneered.

But the envoys of these small countries were extremely aggrieved and indignant when they heard the words, but they... had nothing to do.

Because they knew that although what Qihela said was ugly...but it was true.

Weakness is the original sin!
Now they refuse, but once these powerful countries really reach an agreement, as long as the powerful countries send troops...then it is not a price to pay, and the entire country may be gone.

Country and country are always so cruel and ruthless.

Their hands were tightly clenched into fists, their nails dug into the flesh, bright red blood dripped down the fingertips, and fell to the ground, forming a pool of red.

They gritted their teeth, but they couldn't say a word, and they didn't dare to object.

They are really afraid of offending these powerful countries and really destroying their country.

The atmosphere instantly turned tragic.

When Ah Bao saw this scene, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

He had thought about the cruelty of diplomacy, but he never saw it with his own eyes.

But now, no matter who it is, they can see how shameless Qihela's proposal is.

Just like the previous Baekje envoys, they were extremely shameless, but these envoys from small countries dared not refuse, nor could they refuse.

Because no one cares what they think.

This reminded him of what happened on the first day, when the Baekje envoys also had the same idea to deal with Datang.

If it wasn't for my lord, who shattered the alliance of nations in advance, if it wasn't for my lord, who killed chickens and monkeys... Maybe, these small countries today are the future of Great Tang.

Thinking of this, he realized how much his lord had done for Datang, and what disasters he had avoided.

In the same way, he also realized how important the strength of his family and country is.

Otherwise, it would be just like this... How hopeless and helpless it would be to watch other big countries make their own country lose its territory with a few casual words.

Chichela and Antony were very satisfied with the performance of the envoys of these small countries.

Anthony looked at Shen Lian with a smile, and said with a bright smile: "It seems that all the envoys have no objection to this proposal."

"Then Commander Shen..."

He looked at Shen Lian, and finally expressed his purpose: "What does Commander Shen think? Do you agree with His Highness Tubo's proposal?"

Qi Hela also looked at Shen Lian, with a look of impatience in his eyes.

He was waiting for Qin Wenyuan to nod.

As long as Shen Lian nods, those envoys from small countries will definitely despair of Shen Lian and Datang!

At that time, I will make another reversal, and then oppose my proposal, and then find a scapegoat to solve the case of the Baekje envoy.

And then…….
Qihela's eyes were full of satisfaction.

After that, everything will be back to normal, and the envoys of these small countries will draw closer to themselves again!

Will be hostile to Datang!
Afterwards, one hundred and six countries put pressure on Datang together!

Datang, will become a fish on the chopping board, let yourself be slaughtered!

How much can a small country benefit from?

Datang is worthy of their efforts this time!

Chira is waiting.

Anthony is also looking forward to it with a smile.

The envoys of the small country were full of despair.

And Shen Lian, just like this, met the eyes of all of them, and under their gazes of expectation, malice, indignation, or grief, he calmly said, "This official refuses, and Datang... Objects!"

"This official refuses, but Datang objects!"

Shen Lian's calm words resounded directly in the quiet hall.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, as if they didn't understand the meaning of Shen Lian's words.

but the next moment --
There was an uproar!

"what!?"

Qi Hela's expression changed first, and he almost jumped up. He looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes and said, "Shen Lian, you... what did you say?"

"Did you say something wrong?"

This is different from the agreement!

This is also completely different from what they thought!
Anthony's eyes flickered at this time.

He couldn't help staring at Shen Lian.

But Shen Lian's face remained calm, as if the one who just spoke was not him at all.

This made Anthony wonder what he thought, and his face suddenly changed.

"Could it be..."

Anthony is much more than Qihela the old fox. At this moment, he has thought of many situations, and no matter what the situation is, it is out of his control.

"Oops!"

Anthony screamed in his heart.

But there was no expression on his face.

At least, he wasn't as shocked as Qiehela was.

As for the envoys from small countries, their eyes lit up immediately.

This time, not only the more than 30 envoys who were warmly sent by Shen Lian at the beginning, but also more than 20 centrists who were extremely vigilant, all looked at Shen Lian with bright eyes at this moment.

Shen Lian met their bright eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "His Royal Highness Tubo Prince, I can't hear clearly. I suggest you take out your earwax."

"I only have eight characters, so it's not that His Highness can't understand it?"

When Qihela heard Shen Lian's mocking words, his face became gloomy.

He also understood, and he said, "Shen Lian, you...do you want to go back on your word?"

"Repent? What regret?"

Shen Lian looked confused, and said: "Your Highness Tubo, please speak clearly, what happened to me, did you go back on your word?"

Seeing Shen Lian's pretentious appearance, Qihela really felt his teeth itch with hatred.

Especially when he saw that the envoys from the centrist faction were all gathered together like Shen Lian at this moment, his face became even more ugly.

He couldn't help saying angrily: "Just yesterday, you, me, and Anthony, we—"

But before Qihela finished speaking, he was interrupted by Anthony.

Anthony said righteously: "Your Highness Tubo, please don't slander me. I don't know if you have agreed with Commander Shen on a private meeting, but I have never seen you alone."

"what?"

Qihela was stunned for a moment.

Then the whole person jumped up completely.

He jumped and shouted angrily: "Anthony, you...you, you betrayed me?"

Anthony looked calm and said: "I don't understand what His Highness Tubo means."

In his heart, Anthony wanted to scold Qihela to death: "You idiot, what are you yelling at, do you have to let everyone know about our private schemes? Shen Lian obviously knew about our schemes, so he just did the tricks!"

"Now you have no way to deal with Shen Lian. Shutting up is the best way. You will only delay things by yelling like this!"

He really wanted to scold Qiekhla to death.

And Qihela finally understood at this time.

Shen Lian never believed them at all, and never fell for it!

At the critical moment, Anthony also betrayed and abandoned himself.

"Damn it! Bastard!"

His eyes were red, and the crazy thoughts in the bones of the Tubo people made him want to kill Shen Lian and Anthony with a knife.

But his rationality is trying to suppress him again, so that he will not be impulsive.

Otherwise it will be bad!

Just like that, Qihela endured it for a long time, and finally shattered the table in front of him, sat down viciously, breathed out, and barely suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

Anthony finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qihela didn't drag him into the water again.

But looking at Shen Lian's expression, he could no longer show that bright smile.

But Shen Lian still had that bright smile.

From the beginning to the end, the smile on his face never stopped, which made Anthony curse inwardly, anyone who smiles is not a good person!

Shen Lian took stock of the performances of Anthony and Qi Hela.

Although Qihela has some brains, the characteristics of Tibetan people, impulsive and irritable, are still very obvious.

Anthony, on the other hand, reacted as quickly as possible, and was extremely clever to get rid of possible subsequent troubles.

This person is really worth noting.

He is much more dangerous than Chichela.

It seems that the Great Food Kingdom did not choose him randomly.

Shen Lian was thinking a lot, but there was nothing unusual on his face. He looked at the envoys and said, "My Tang Dynasty, I like peace the most, because we were once weak and weak, and because we were also ravaged by war. , so we are very aware of the helplessness of a small country, and we don't want countless people to be displaced and their lives lost because of our own ambitions."

"So, unless it really provokes me, Datang, and provokes me again and again, just like that Tuyuhun...challenges my Datang's bottom line, otherwise, I, Datang, will never take the initiative to go Occupy any country!"

"Therefore, His Highness Tubo's proposal is against the peace of heaven, against the principles and bottom line of our Great Tang. Forgive my Great Tang for not agreeing to it!"

Shen Lian finished his words.

The envoys of those small countries suddenly had red eyes.

They feel they have found a soulmate.

Looking at Shen Lian's expression, they were full of gratitude and admiration. They felt extremely guilty for doubting Shen Lian because of some rumors they had heard before.

But it was also because of this that they trusted Shen Lian even more.

He became even more attached to Datang.

They felt that compared with Tubo, the Tang Dynasty was really a great country.

worthy of their trust and following.

Shen Lian slightly nodded to those envoys from small countries, with an extremely gentle smile on his face.

Regardless of whether Datang will fight against these small countries in the future, at least for now, let's put it nicely.
