Don't be a prince

After speaking, Li Yuanheng ordered the team to move on.

But at this moment, Li Chengqian, who was playing ghost hunting with the children in Beiyuan, Yichun, did not seem to be busy with political affairs at all...

The information received along the way was so shocking that Queen Seondeok and King Baekje were unable to recover even after living in the guest house of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Yuanheng did not lie, after they arrived at the inn, they did see Jin Gengxin and Fuyu Yici.

Jin Gengxin is still the same as before, but Fuyu Yici has become a big fat man.When people are in despair, they will react differently, but Fuyu Yici chose to eat.

After finally achieving their goal, the two groups dispersed, and immediately started their own calculations:

In the house of Queen Seondeok, Jin Gengxin was about to salute, but Bitan grabbed him and told him: "You are the hero of Silla, and the queen has announced in the country that you will be promoted to the general who protects the country. From now on, even if you face the queen , there is no need to salute."

Shande also said: "General Jin, we are sorry for you. From now on, you don't have to salute anyone. Sit down."

Jin Gengxin agreed, and then sat down.

Bi Tan personally poured a cup of tea for Jin Gengxin, and asked, "General Jin, how have you been in the Tang Dynasty for the past few years?"

Jin Geng said: "After I was brought back, I was only put under house arrest. I could even go out for a walk every day and practice sword skills. If I want to go out and hang out on the streets, I will be approved, but I have to be People just follow closely."

Queen Shande's eyes lit up: "Then General Jin, how much have you spied on the situation of Datang? Are they false prosperity?"

Seeing the queen's expression as if she had caught a life-saving straw, Jin Gengxin sighed and said, "Queen, you should give up your plan to fight against Datang as soon as possible. We responded to the global attack on Tang, and indeed brought trouble to Datang. However, the trouble was only brought to the royal family and court of the Tang Dynasty.

We fought against Datang with the whole country, and as a result, the people of Datang still lived and worked in peace and contentment. If it wasn't for the current emperor's order to prohibit entertainment during the war, I'm afraid we would have added a "singing and dancing to promote peace".Moreover, after the war, Datang quickly recovered its own strength, and finally saw with his own eyes the envoys from Tubo, Turks and other countries, with the most humble attitude, came to Datang to pay tribute.If they are like this, let alone us!

Queen, even if it is not to redeem the last general, you should have come to Hajj earlier.Such a Tang Dynasty, facing them, we have only one choice to surrender.Even if our national power increases by five or ten times, for Datang, there is no need to seriously deal with it.Surrender requires an attitude of surrender. You guys are here too late! "

Listening to Jin Gengxin's words, Queen Seondeok and Bitan glanced at each other, and each captured a strong sense of powerlessness from each other's eyes.

Chapter 548 Turns out it's a meat dish!

Also feeling a strong sense of powerlessness, and Baekje King.If the incomparable strength of Datang was the heavy burden on his old camel, Fuyu Yici was the last straw.

Fuyu Yici, who couldn't control his mouth, had gained dozens of catties, and his whole body was about to turn into a ball.As for King Baekje's question about Datang, Fuyu Yici simply asked all kinds of delicacies about Datang, but he talked about all kinds of delicacies of Datang in a logical manner.

There is an invincible and powerful enemy staring at him outside, but there is no suitable heir inside. The king of Baekje really can't imagine that there is any future for Baekje.

With the current strength of Baekje, perhaps, we can only pray when there will be another civil strife in Datang.

After all, the people of the Central Plains must divide if they unite for a long time, and unite after dividing for a long time.They will always bring themselves down when they are at their strongest. Perhaps, Datang can't escape the vicious circle of the previous dynasties.

The Baiqisi secret agent hidden in the basement of the guest house collected the conversations between the Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje through copper pipes, and quickly sorted them out and sent them to the emperor.

When Zhang Yun delivered the report to the emperor, Li Chengqian was lying on the bed receiving massage from Ashina Xue and Wu Mei.

After watching the conversation between Silla and Baekje, Li Chengqian threw the report on the ground, and said with a smile: "Silla may still be a bit of a fool, but Baekje really can't do it. The king of Baekje is like falling to the west mountain. Prince, Fuyu Yici is still the most outstanding one.

For a small country like Baekje, there is nothing more difficult than having no successor.I believe that in two days, the King of Baekje will show his sincerest loyalty to me.By the way, call Fang Shan over, I have something to ask him. "

Zhang Yun left immediately, and came back with Fang Shan not long after.

For the emperor who seemed to be enjoying himself while lying on the bed, Fang Shan had no intention of persuading him at all.

He knew very well that even if the emperor was lying here, seemingly indulging in tenderness and unable to extricate himself, he must know everything outside.

Sure enough, following Fang Shan's salute registration, Li Chengqian opened his eyes and asked, "How about the statistics of the court ladies and eunuchs? How many want to leave the palace?"

Speaking of this matter, Fang Shan showed contempt on his face: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are a total of 120 court ladies and 150 eunuchs. Your Majesty, these people really forget their roots!"

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Come on, this is their own choice. Since I promised so at the beginning, I have to do it. Let them all go out of the palace. In addition, you are the master, and draw up the salary system for the palace maids and eunuchs. Funded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Fang Shan was surprised: "Your Majesty, you really want to give salaries to the maids and eunuchs. Isn't this too much?"

Li Chengqian said speechlessly: "What is too much? Think about it in your own situation. Why did countless people sign up every time the palace called for maids? Even if they knew that the palace gate was as deep as the sea, there were still people willing to send their daughters into the palace." Come here. However, it's not that the common people can't afford to raise children now, so they can't afford to send girls to the palace.

You don't need too much salary, as long as you have it, coupled with the reputation of the royal family as a matchmaker, you can give the maids of the palace a good family, which is enough to attract their attention.With the abolition of the eunuch system and the absence of the new maid system, these girls will be locked in the palace all their lives. The demand for court ladies in the palace is suddenly full. "

Fang Shan nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Then what does Your Majesty think is a better way to draw up the salary?"

"Don't be too high, and don't be too low. Let's set it according to the standard of going out of the palace every week and allowing them a little luxury."

Fang Shan agreed, turned and left the bedroom.

After there were no outsiders around, Li Chengqian transformed into a wolf.

Publicizing prostitution in the daytime has always been a place of criticism.

But...don't people just like to find pleasure in breaking the law?

On the second day after Silla Baekje arrived in Chang'an, he asked to see His Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.However, Li Yuanheng refused, saying that the emperor was busy with political affairs.On this day, however, Li Chengqian was in Taiji Palace, re-planning the locations of Liangyi Hall and Ganlu Hall, and planned to make the imperial garden bigger.

On the third day, Silla Baekje's request for an audience was still rejected.

On the fourth day, still refused.

On the fifth day, Baekje gave up, but Silla continued to repeat the request.

The sixth day, the seventh day...

On the tenth day, Li Chengqian finally felt that something was wrong.What's going on in Silla, asking for an audience once a day, persisting for such a long time.What confidence do they have to please Lao Tzu?

Although curious, Li Chengqian still didn't care.If you think about it, you will know that what makes them confident may not be able to impress him, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.In comparison, the construction of the harem of the Taiji Palace is much more important, after all, it is a place to live for a long time. DIY the place where you live, even if you are a lazy guy, you can't refuse this temptation.

The planning of the harem of the Taiji Palace lasted for fifteen days, and the construction was not accelerated until Yan Lide's drawings reached an agreement with Li Chengqian's request.And Li Chengqian finally had time to meet the Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje.

Inside the Taiji Hall, Li Chengqian sat on his dragon chair full of aura, and received the Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje.

Meeting foreign kings is naturally not the same set of tables, chairs and furnishings as the court meeting.

The closer you are to the emperor, the more close you are. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the tables and chairs of Ma Zhou and others are only five or six meters away from the emperor.

But when it came to the Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje, not to mention the most common poplar tables and chairs, even the distance was stretched to more than ten meters.

Although they fantasized about the appearance of the Tang emperor more than once, they were still shocked when the Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje found out that the newly enthroned emperor was so young.They don't have the qualifications to rely on their elders to sell their elders, so they can only bow their hands honestly. As for Bidanjin Gengxin and others, they need to kneel and worship.

Seeing that they were very respectful, Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction and said: "I am a guest from afar, so there is no need to be polite, just sit down."

To everyone's shock, the voice of the Great Tang Emperor, despite being so far away, was still very loud. This...what's going on?

Unbeknownst to the Queen of Silla and her party, the new Tai Chi Hall was designed in the style of an echoing wall, which amplified the voice of the emperor.In this way, officials who are far away still need to go forward to salute when they go to court to play, firstly, so that the emperor can hear clearly, and secondly, to use this effect to make their voices louder.

Although the echo wall is very powerful, it still caused a lot of inconvenience, which made Li Chengqian miss the existence of the big speaker and subwoofer very much.It's just that Li Tai perfected the steam engine. The paranoiacs in the scientific research institute have started to go crazy in chemistry since they discovered nitrocellulose, and no one has taken a step towards the field of electricity.

Although the King of Baekje was cowardly, he spoke before the Queen of Silla: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the small country offers you the most sincere surrender. Please allow the little king to present the territory map of Baekje and the royal family of Baekje." A treasure passed down from generation to generation, to win His Majesty's favor."

It was very quiet at the beginning, but when he realized that his voice was too low and the distance from the Emperor Tang was too far, he could only shout at the top of his voice.

Zhang Yun walked over with a blank face, took the Baekje territory map and a gift box from the Prime Minister of Baekje, opened it to check that there was no danger, and brought it to Li Chengqian.

When he opened the map of Baekje, Li Chengqian couldn't help curling his lips.Not because it's blurry, but because it's too detailed.The detail of the map is exactly the tragedy of a small country.If it were Datang, the officials of the Ministry of Industry would almost lose their legs. However, there is still no detailed map of Datang.

As for the treasures passed down from generation to generation by the Baekje royal family, just listen to it. Even if it is true, it is probably not worth much.

Opening the box without expecting it, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up.

Inside the box was a gold plate, judging from its heaviness, it was estimated to be pure gold.The pattern on the plate is very old, and the origin cannot be seen at all. Considering the group of archaeologists from the School of History, they will like this plate very much.

Since this thing is made of pure gold, no matter what style it is, it is at least valuable.

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Chengqian said: "I like Baekje's gift very much, so I accept it."

As for returning the gift, Li Chengqian didn't mention it at all.

The King of Baekje also knew that it was no longer the time to accept gifts in return, and seeing that the Emperor Tang liked it very much, he was secretly pleased.

Seeing that the gift from Baekje won the favor of the Emperor Datang, the Queen of Silla frowned, and immediately stood up and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, Silla is also willing to present a territory map as a token of submission, and there are two small The Longevity Picture embroidered by Wang himself is dedicated to the Great Tang Emperor and His Majesty."

Longevity picture, or two, the problem is that I embroidered it myself...

After ordering Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun took over the territory map of Silla and asked several eunuchs to unfold the so-called Longevity Map.

When sending the map of the territory to the emperor, Zhang Yun mentioned his discovery by the way.

The Longevity Map is unfolded, and the momentum is still there.

There are a total of 1 "shou" characters of different sizes, and the embroidery effect is still very shocking.In particular, this picture has a faint meaning of "long live", which has to be said to be just right.

only....

Since the Queen of Silla's hand is still immature, it is impossible for her to make it herself.Moreover, even if she embroidered it herself, this kind of heart is not worth more than Baekje's gold.

Nodding his head, Li Chengqian said: "I have also received Silla's wishes. Come on, let's have a banquet."

Accompanied by Li Chengqian's order, court ladies and eunuchs immediately stepped forward, expanded the original small table into a large one, and brought dishes with delicious flavors and flavors.

When distributing wine, the Silla side got wine, and it was obvious that it was newly brewed this year.On the Baekje side, just by smelling the scent that wafts out after the jar was opened, they knew it was a good thing.

Looking at the dishes with obviously different portions, the Queen of Silla immediately understood that her gift did not please the Emperor Datang.

Seeing the proud expression of the Baekje king opposite, the Queen of Silla suddenly felt unwilling to be compared with anyone, but Baekje could not!

Although it was far away, Li Chengqian still saw the expression of Queen Silla.It has to be said that it is still very scary for an elderly woman to be ferocious, at least not much worse than the Childhood Shadow Exterminator.

Discriminatory treatment is the way Li Chengqian came up with to treat envoys.

Judging from the effect, it is unavoidable to continue to use this method when receiving envoys in the future.A single one is completely unacceptable, no matter what, two or even more rivals must be arranged together.

Picking up the wine glass, Li Chengqian added: "The territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, and I am busy with business, so I can only have a meal with the two of you. After the meal, the two of you can take care of yourself. There are still many beautiful scenery around Chang'an .”

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the Queen of Silla became even more anxious.

Looking at each other with Bitan, seeing each other nodding, the Queen of Silla stood up without hesitation and said, "His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor, just drinking and enjoying delicious food is too monotonous. Silla prepared a dance for His Majesty." , Your Majesty, please allow."

dance?

Li Chengqian really can't think of any dance that can make Silla come back, but since the Queen of Silla is so confident, it's a pity not to give her a chance to show off.

"allow!"

Accompanied by Li Chengqian's "Yes", the gate of Tai Chi Hall opened, and a group of coolly dressed Silla women came in line by line.

To Li Chengqian's surprise, these Silla women were no longer all the lolitas they used to be, but they were all in their twenties, which was the age group he thought most beautiful.Moreover, no matter in appearance or figure, they are different from the mainstream of Datang, and everything suits his taste.

Good guy, Silla is not ordinary!

In a piece of plain white, a touch of bright red cannot fail to attract the eyes no matter what.

With the sound of dance music, a total of more than 30 Silla girls began to dance, especially the red-clothed woman in the middle of the team, who was even more graceful and charming...

Wait, all kinds of styles?

Only then did Li Chengqian wake up from his obsession, and looked at the group of dancers in surprise.

Those dancing girls in white clothes, no matter how they looked like a foil, formed a formation to cover the figure of the woman in red clothes.Although they are dressed in cool clothes, they have never been cool with the woman in red, because there is a big slit at the hem of the skirt. After she deliberately stretched her legs, a big white leg was exposed...

And as the formation gradually became denser and blocked all the sight behind, what made Li Chengqian dumbfounded was that the woman in red became a solo dancer, and her movements became more and more exaggerated, which was a bit like a pole dance in later generations. As soon as it was twisted, the red dress slipped off, revealing the snow-white fragrant shoulders.

The fragrant shoulders are not important, what is important is that the slipped placket is stuck on a towering protection somewhere, and the way it shakes up and down makes people want to go up and take it off for her, so as not to be an eyesore.

Good guy, it turned out to be a meat dish!

Because of the cover of the woman in white, the only ones who can see the woman in red in the hall are Li Chengqian and Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun closed his eyes very sensiblely, but his ears moved, not letting go of any movement in front of him, so the only ones who could appreciate it were Li Chengqian and the shadow guard hidden on the pillars of the main hall.

The duty of the shadow guards is to protect the emperor, so don't say that the woman in red is like this, even if she is naked, they will not shy away from it, and the crossbow arrows in their hands will still firmly point at her vitals.

All entertainment, if it goes astray, will slowly develop into soft porn, whether it is for male or female fans.

only....

For Li Chengqian, whose nightlife in the harem has long surpassed the times and who has been trained by Cang and other "teachers", this little "welfare" is obviously not enough.

Chapter 549 The Paper Plane

After a dance, all the dancers fell to the ground, waiting for their evaluation.

Clapping his hands, Li Chengqian said: "Very good dance, then, Shande, you can tell me what you are going to do now."

Facing Li Chengqian's straight-forward approach, Shande smiled and said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this is Xiaowang's youngest daughter. She just turned eighteen this year and she is especially good at dancing. If Your Majesty likes it..."

Glancing at this so-called Silla princess who was selected entirely according to his own preferences, Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, my harem is already full, and there is really no room for her. Shande, please accept her." Thinking of your thoughts, do you think that, as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you can be moved by your daughter's casual winks and coquettish flair? You underestimate the Tang Dynasty too, and I underestimate you!"

Seeing that her careful arrangements hadn't had any effect, Queen Seonde was immediately at a loss for words.

Picking up the wine glass on the table and taking a sip of the wine, Li Chengqian said: "The merchant king Li Yuanheng will come to entertain you later. I still have government affairs to attend to, so I'm sorry."

After speaking, Li Chengqian got up and left.The Queen of Silla, who was speechless, and the King of Baekje, who was secretly delighted, stayed behind.
