Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

In addition to them, are there other tentacles reaching out to the chess game of the Parliament of All Nations?
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flickered.

It’s really lively!

There are more than a hundred envoys. How many of them were replaced?

Thinking of this, Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but sigh.

The Tang Dynasty is truly the land of destiny and is favored by heaven!
It was clearly the Parliament of All Nations, but these envoys had no idea that they were just pawns of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

In other words, these guys in the Tang Dynasty are not united and each of them has his own thoughts.

Otherwise, if they united against the outside world, wouldn't the world be within their grasp?
Qin Wenyuan shook his head.

We are blessed with unique advantages, but because of this, there are too many outstanding people and they repel each other.

If you want to truly unify the world and repel foreign aggression, you must first stabilize the country!

Either use them for my own purposes, or kill them all. Otherwise... the Tang Dynasty will never be able to conquer the world.

So, we still have to fight, Beichen, Tianji... I guess they all think the same way.

They, like me, have terrifying ambitions, right?
The Tang Dynasty is really too small!

Qin Wenyuan looked at the envoys from various countries, his eyes shining slightly: "Only this world is qualified for us to use our full strength."

Qin Wenyuan collected his thoughts, looked at the envoys, and said, "The Baekje envoy was killed for no reason. Our Tang Dynasty will never let the thieves do whatever they want, so please rest assured that I will seize the time to track down the real culprit, and then I will definitely give justice to the Baekje envoy!"

"At the same time, I will give everyone an explanation!"

"But before that, the Ten Thousand Nations Congress cannot be delayed. After all, this concerns the future of more than a hundred countries. So... please calm down for the time being and continue to plan for the people of the world. I promise that I will send more troops to protect your safety. As long as you are in the post station, you will never be harmed."

Qin Wenyuan's words made many envoys feel relieved.

The successive destruction of two diplomatic missions really made them nervous and worried.

Fortunately, Qin Wenyuan promised to send more troops to protect them, which made them feel a little more at ease.

Although I dare not leave the post station easily, my life is more important than anything else.

Therefore, no one opposed Qin Wenyuan's proposal. On the contrary, many envoys from small countries were somewhat grateful, thinking that Qin Zulai was too reliable and gave them a sense of security.

They had already accepted Qin Wenyuan's warm gesture, and now they have an even better impression of Qin Wenyuan.

Seeing them looking at him with gratitude, Qin Wenyuan smiled gently, nodded slightly, and said, "Trust me, nothing will happen."

The envoys nodded quickly: "We believe in Lord Qin!"

"Yes, Lord Qin is famous. We believe that Lord Qin will be able to protect our safety."

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

When Chihela, Anthony and others saw this scene, they all looked solemn.

Since arriving in Chang'an, accidents have happened one after another.

Up to now, not only are they unable to express any malice towards the Tang Dynasty directly, but they have also prompted the envoys of small countries that were originally dependent on them to become more friendly towards the Tang Dynasty and Qin Wenyuan.

This sudden change made Qihela and the others feel tremendous pressure in their hearts.

They knew that this couldn't go on any longer.

Otherwise, this trip to deal with the Tang Dynasty might end up... as rumored, with all nations coming to pay tribute.

Not only did they not gain any benefit, but they also made wedding dresses for the Tang Dynasty!

If that were the case, they would be so miserable!

After going through so much trouble to set up such a scheme, in the end all the benefits went to the Tang Dynasty. They couldn't stand this injustice.

Qihela looked at Anthony, and Anthony happened to be looking over there as well.

The two people's eyes met in the air, and this time, it was no longer a violent collision, but an extremely complex intersection of emotions.

They frowned, but finally nodded slightly.

It seemed like some agreement had been reached.

But soon, their eyes separated quickly, and then they returned to the hall as if nothing had happened.

But this time their eye contact could not be hidden from Qin Wenyuan's eyes.

The corners of Qin Wenyuan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of a smile.

He chuckled and whispered to himself, "Are the two main chess pieces on the chessboard finally unable to hold back and start pushing for changes in the game?"

After a laugh, Qin Wenyuan's complexion returned to normal and he walked into the hall.

Soon, all the envoys returned to the hall and sat in their seats.

Compared with their previous vigilance, after seeing the Baekje envoys being killed, their vigilance became even stronger. Everyone wanted to stay away from others as far as possible, as if everyone was a murderer in their eyes.

Qin Wenyuan took in everyone's defensiveness. He laughed and said, "We were interrupted by something unexpected just now. Let's continue now. I hope you can come up with some constructive suggestions instead of making jokes. Our occasion is very solemn and serious. I hope you can pay attention."

"Then... Next, please continue to speak freely."

After saying that, Qin Wenyuan picked up the teacup again and drank the tea gently, with the same indifferent expression on his face as before.

It was as if what he had just experienced had no effect on him at all.

Qihela and others frowned and said nothing.

If they cannot reveal their covetousness towards the Tang Dynasty, then they really have nothing to say. They did not come here for the damn peace.

As for the small countries, since the big countries do not speak up, they naturally dare not speak up either.

And with the precedent of Baekje's fake envoy, no one wanted to be the first to take action.

Therefore, after an incense stick of time had passed, no one said a word.

The tea in Qin Wenyuan's hand had gone cold. He couldn't help but put down the cup, looked at everyone, and said, "Don't you have anything to say?"

"Master Qin."

At this time, Anthony, the envoy of the Arab Empire, spoke up. He said with a smile, "We have just experienced some shocks. The deaths of the envoys from Baekje and Bolor have made us feel uneasy, so we can't calm down now either."

"Under this situation, there is nothing to discuss. I think it would be better to stop today, take a day off, and discuss it tomorrow. How do you think?"

Qin Wenyuan's expression did not fluctuate at all, as if he had expected it.

He glanced at Anthony, his dark eyes were calm and still.

Anthony felt as if he was sucked into a whirlpool. In just a moment, he was sweating profusely.

At this moment, Qin Wenyuan withdrew his gaze, and Anthony couldn't help but breathe heavily, and the look he gave Qin Wenyuan was full of fear.

He didn't understand what had just happened and why he felt so frightened.

Qin Wenyuan ignored Anthony. He slowly stood up and said calmly: "In that case, let's take a day off today. We will continue the Parliament of Nations tomorrow. Everyone should have a good rest when you go back. Don't think too much. Believe in our Tang Dynasty. We will do our best to protect your safety." After that, Qin Wenyuan walked out.

Lu Xugou and the others quickly chased after him. Xugou asked, "Master, is this the end of today?"

"if not?"

Qin Wenyuan didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly: "I blocked their mouths so that they have nothing to say. Even if we stay here for a day, it will only be a waste of time."

"They never thought about discussing peace, so I didn't give them time to discuss how to resolve this matter. Naturally, this parliament...cannot proceed."

Sishe was puzzled and asked, "Since Master knows that they have bad intentions towards the Tang Dynasty, why do you still give them time to discuss a solution? Isn't this very disadvantageous to us?"

"Unfavorable? Why is it unfavorable?"

Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "I have already set the tone for the current situation. Anyone who covets the Tang Dynasty and shows ill will towards the Tang Dynasty is related to the thieves."

"So under this premise, if they want to gain benefits, they only have two ways to go."

"Which two roads?" Snake asked hurriedly.

Qin Wenyuan glanced at Di Renjie, who looked thoughtful, and said with a smile: "Renjie, can you tell me something?"

Di Renjie thought about it, and then said, "Master, this is what I think."

"They have only two options! First, they only want benefits, whether they come from the Tang Dynasty or not. So under the premise set by our mentor, if they want to gain benefits, they can only stop targeting the Tang Dynasty and instead switch direction and target those small countries."

"After all, small countries cannot compete with big countries. But if they want to gain benefits from small countries, they will definitely find a way to unite with the Tang Dynasty and let the Tang Dynasty cooperate with them to share the benefits."

"why?"

When Sishe heard this, he asked, "Why don't they just divide the profits among themselves? Why do they have to ask Datang to share it?"

Snake was very puzzled.

Di Renjie said: "You are right, they really don't want to take the initiative to share the benefits with the Tang Dynasty, but they have to do so."

"After all, if they attack small countries, they will definitely attract hostility from them. If the Tang Dynasty extends an olive branch at this time, then those small countries will gather firmly in the lobby."

"By then, the Tang Dynasty will most likely become the leader elected by these small countries. This will be equivalent to helping the Tang Dynasty increase its strength invisibly. With the support of the Tang Dynasty, it will not be so easy for them to gain the interests of small countries."

"So, they have no choice but to unite with the Tang Dynasty and leave those small countries with nowhere to rely on. This is the only way to ensure the benefits they will reap! Therefore, the Tang Dynasty...even if they are unwilling, they must unite. They have no choice!"

Snake suddenly realized.

Things between countries are really so complicated.

Even with enemies, sometimes we have to find ways to cooperate with them.

The Dog is also thoughtful.

"What about the second way?" Snake continued to ask.

Di Renjie looked at Qin Wenyuan and saw Qin Wenyuan nodding with a smile to show his approval. He suddenly felt more confident.

He said: "The second way is to directly destroy the premise established by my mentor. In this way, you can continue to deal with my Tang Dynasty."

"And if you want to disintegrate, there is only one possibility."

"What's possible?" asked Snake.

Di Renjie said: "Find the thief and solve the case! Only by finding the thief can the other envoys let down their guard. Only in this way can we bring up the method of dealing with the Tang Dynasty again. Otherwise... they dare not speak at all."

"Can they find the thief?" asked Snake.

Di Renjie looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "I'll have to ask my teacher about this."

Qin Wenyuan rubbed Di Renjie's head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether we can find it or not. What matters is who they want to take the blame."

"Take the blame?" Si Snake was stunned.

Di Renjie and Xu Gou seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised their heads to look at Qin Wenyuan.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said calmly, "They have no clues and no ideas, so how can they solve the case? So if they want to solve the case as quickly as possible, the easiest way is to find a scapegoat, so they will definitely find a small country to take the blame."

“I just don’t know which small country will be chosen by them.”

Sishe frowned and said, "Aren't they afraid of being discovered?"

"Since they can do it, they will naturally do it thoroughly."

"That……"

Sishe couldn't help but look at Qin Wenyuan: "Master, will you let them get what they want?"

Qin Wenyuan shrugged and said calmly, "Of course not."

"If they really choose this path..."

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "After they choose a scapegoat, I will find Tianji to commit another crime. In this case..."

He smiled and said, "That's interesting."

"After they found the thief, another crime happened. That... this matter is very interesting. The responsibility is even greater."

"Tsk tsk, a false case is always a big deal that will ruin your reputation!"

"So, no matter which path they choose, the result will not be harmful to our Tang Dynasty. In this case, why not let them do it themselves?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Which path do you think they will choose?"

Xu Gou and others fell into deep thought.

Qin Wenyuan just laughed and walked away.

Interesting, even more interesting.

In fact, there was one more thing that Qin Wenyuan didn't tell them.

The reason why I let them do whatever they want is because... Qin Wenyuan is also ready to take action.

Let them help you attract attention!

My own big net is ready to close...

After leaving the post station, Qin Wenyuan found that it was still early.

He thought about it and went directly to the Dali Temple.

Arriving at the government office, Qin Wenyuan flipped through the files just submitted by the local government offices and said to Xu Gou, "Have those people I asked you to find returned?"

Xu Gou was stunned for a moment before he realized what Qin Wenyuan said.

In fact, they were discussing the affairs of the Parliament of All Nations just a moment ago, but who would have known that the next moment, the young master would make a 180-degree turn and talk about something completely unrelated, which almost made him unable to react.
