Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 455 I Don’t Accept It, I Want to See the Emperor
In just three days, Emperor Shumei was taken to Chang'an.

When Emperor Shu Ming appeared in the Taiji Hall, many ministers looked at him with a bit more sarcasm in their eyes.

A tiny island country actually dared to kill the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. It was simply seeking its own death!

"Emperor Shumei of Japan pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Emperor Shumei..."

Li Chengqian said with a playful look on his face, "You have a very big reputation."

Emperor Shu Ming: "No matter how great your reputation is, it cannot stop the mighty army of the Tang Dynasty."

The official from the Ministry of Rites sneered, "Since you know that our Tang army is unstoppable, why do you want to kill our Tang envoys?"

"It was Cui Wei who was rude first!"

Emperor Shu Ming said coldly, "If this man had not behaved dissolutely, why would I kill him?"

"fart!"

Wu Siyuan cursed loudly, "Who is Lord Cui? Why would he fall in love with your queen?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but those women in Japan, when they dress up, look like ghosts. Could it be that Master Cui, even everyone present here, doesn't like him?"

"..."

As soon as Wu Siyuan said this, many ministers started coughing with strange looks on their faces.

Although……

But aren’t you being too direct?

Emperor Shu Ming was furious: "How could you, Wu Siyuan, not know the truth?"

"It was you who helped him sneak into the harem, which led to this joke!"

"If not, why did you flee from Japan as soon as I captured Cui Wei? Aren't you guilty of a crime?"

"It's ridiculous, it's extremely ridiculous!"

Wu Siyuan sneered, "If it is really as you said, why didn't you write to His Majesty and ask for His Majesty's decision as soon as possible?"

"Instead, they arrested Master Cui immediately and threw him into prison!"

"why is that?"

"You just want to force a confession out of me!"

Emperor Shu Ming was so angry that he laughed.

What do you mean you didn’t write a letter to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, asking him to punish you?
The question is, can the letter he wrote be delivered to the Tang Dynasty?
"You guys burned that letter a long time ago!"

Emperor Shu Ming said angrily: "You and Cui Wei are in cahoots with each other, and now you are slandering me?"

Wu Siyuan spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you heard it, and all the adults heard it."

"If it was a letter he wrote to Your Majesty, how brave would I be to burn it?"

"It's obvious that he didn't write it, but he put all the blame on us."

"He's clearly trying to find an excuse for his shameless behavior!"

"His Majesty!"

"I personally think that he should be punished according to the law to serve as a warning to others!"

"Let other countries know what the consequences will be if they kill the envoys of the Tang Dynasty!"

That's not okay.

If he were really killed and his bones and ashes were scattered, who would attack the Tang envoys in the future?
Li Chengqian pondered and spoke slowly, "My dear ministers, please tell us what you think about this."

The Minister of Rites was the first to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Japan was so disrespectful to our Celestial Empire and killed our envoys, which led to the war between the two countries. It was all his fault."

"But he is the ruler of a country after all. Our Great Tang has always valued peace and treated all nations with courtesy. So, it is better to demote him to a commoner and exile him to Lingnan."

Emperor Shuming: "???"

"I am the king of Japan, not a minister of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Why did you exile me to Lingnan? I don't accept it. You did this on purpose!"

Li Jing sighed, "Your Majesty, you see, even at this time, Emperor Shu Ming still does not reflect on his own mistakes, and still puts all the problems on others."

"I think that Lord Dou's proposal is very feasible. In this way, not only can they appreciate the customs and culture of our Tang Dynasty, but it can also let others know that even though they have done something wrong, our Tang Dynasty will still give them a chance to reform."

"This is the determination and courage of the Tang Dynasty to treat all nations with courtesy."

Li Daozong stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Li said makes sense."

"The Tang Dynasty has always treated its friends with great courtesy, but it has never been afraid of its enemies!"

"Today, Japan is a typical example."

"Although we have captured him, he is the ruler of a country after all. If we kill him rashly, it will probably cause discussion in other countries."

"If we exile him, it will undoubtedly be the best option."

Emperor Shu Ming was stunned by what he heard.

He is the king of a country and now a prisoner. No matter what, he should be treated with courtesy.

As a result, their only courtesy was exile to Lingnan.

Although he didn't know where Lingnan was, the word "exile" was not a good word.

As for what everyone is bragging about, such as appreciating the customs and culture of the Tang Dynasty, such bad influences, and such as the Tang Dynasty being a country of etiquette, it's all bullshit.

I just want to kill him!
"I want to see the Emperor, I want to see the Emperor!"

"Humph!"

Li Chengqian snorted coldly, "When confronted, you repeatedly refused. Now that you can't refuse, you actually want to ask to see the emperor, hoping to win his mercy?"

"In my opinion, you don't know what's good for you!"

"In that case, then I will follow your advice and demote Emperor Shu Ming to a commoner. From today on, he will be exiled to Lingnan. He will not be allowed to return to Chang'an for the rest of his life, let alone travel across the sea!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" "No, I don't agree. I want to see the emperor..."

Emperor Shu Ming is crazy. If he is exiled, he will be in danger of death, or even have no chance of survival!
If I could meet Li Shimin, maybe there would be a glimmer of hope!
but.

Li Chengqian would never give him the chance to meet Li Shimin. With a wave of his hand, the Qianniu Guards pulled him out.

After Emperor Shu Ming was dragged away, Li Chengqian slowly spoke: "Now Japan has been largely pacified. Although there is some chaos, it is difficult to resist our heavenly soldiers."

"My dear ministers, how do you think the land of Japan should be governed and how should we make policies?"

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, the six ministers laughed.

The next step is naturally to divide up the land and manage it according to the previous regulations.

"Your Majesty, I think that since Japan has become under the rule of our Tang Dynasty, it should be renamed the Dongying Protectorate like the Western Regions, and officials should be assigned to guard it."

"Secondly..."

After a detailed description, many officials who were still somewhat confused gradually discovered that they seemed to have become spectators of this drama.

All of this seemed to have been predetermined and was proceeding according to some plan.

……

When Emperor Shumei was escorted out of the palace by officials from the Ministry of Justice and began his journey of exile, many people in Chang'an were curious about it.

after all.

It is extremely rare for someone to be exiled directly from the palace.

But after learning about Emperor Shumei's identity, many people who were interested in gossip suddenly lost their good attitude towards this king and applauded.

"You deserve it!"

"You dare to kill the envoy of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty was too merciful not to skin him alive."

"That's right, why should we exile him? It would be much easier to just chop him up."

"That won't work. If we kill him, won't other countries be worried?"

"Could it be that after this incident, someone would still want to kill our Tang Dynasty envoys?"

"We are a country of etiquette after all. How can we kill people and destroy dynasties at will? That is inappropriate, inappropriate."

"..."

There was a lot of discussion about this matter in the streets and alleys, and it soon reached Su Chen's ears.

Sun Qiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Emperor Shu Ming has already left the city. Should we go over and take a look?"

"What catches your eyes?"

Su Chen stretched lazily, "Rather than going to see a loser, it's better to go to the Ministry of Industry to see the new power device that Feng Baojun and his team have built."

Sun Qiang chuckled and said, "After all, this is the first time that a ruler from another country has been exiled in our Tang Dynasty. Isn't Your Majesty curious?"

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "It's indeed the first time I've seen it."

I don’t know which little genius came up with such a weird idea.

He exiled the king of another country to his own home.

"Pack up and follow me to the manufacturing bureau."

"okay."

A moment later, Su Chen took Sun Qiang and others to the Manufacturing Bureau in a carriage.

The reason for going to the Manufacturing Bureau was that Su Chen received news early this morning that the power unit of Feng Baojun's large steam locomotive had already been finalized.

The specific details are unknown.

Moreover, Feng Baojun also hoped that Su Chen, who had taken out this power device, could go to the scene in person to take a look. If there was any problem, he could propose improvement plans as soon as possible.

After all, no one understands this better than him.

After arriving at the Manufacturing Bureau and reporting his identity, he was led directly into the bureau without any hindrance.

"Sir, the prince is here."

"Come on, follow me to welcome the prince."

Feng Baojun immediately stood up and went to greet them with the officials.

Su Chen's voice came from outside, "No need, I'm here."

"Your Majesty."

"I heard that your power unit..."

Su Chen spoke with a smile, but his eyes quickly looked at the large power device behind Feng Baojun and others.

Do not!
To be precise, it should be a locomotive!

"Good boy, you guys are really quick."

Feng Baojun and others immediately smiled. To receive such praise from Su Chen was enough to prove their efforts over the past period of time.

"Your Highness, please look, this is the steam locomotive we have built during this period of time!"

"We named it, Unified One!"

Feng Baojun pointed at the big thing in front of him with a smile on his face and introduced it to Su Chen, "This thing has been properly installed. All that's left is the final attempt."

"Good good."

Su Chen nodded repeatedly, "It's right to give this thing to you."

“When will you try?”

"anytime!"
