Li Shimin

Among the small countries around the Tang Dynasty, the Wa country is also one of the goals of their aristocratic family.

You know, this winter, the Cui family in Qinghe, the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the Lu family in Fanyang have already begun to attack Baekje and Goguryeo.

Moreover, each family has already laid down two or three cities!

Thinking about it, after the morning court, those aristocratic families hurriedly got together.

And Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others gathered in Liangyi Hall.

Then call Su Wo Eizo and other ministers of the Wa Kingdom and Lord Shu Ming.

"My ministers see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and all the nobles of the Tang Dynasty!"

In the past two days, through spending thousands of guan, the Japanese people including Suwo Eizo and Lord Shu Ming have also truly seen the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Especially those beautiful costumes on the streets of Chang'an City, all kinds of fragrant restaurants, and all kinds of shops in Dongxi City, so that Suwo Ezo, Lord Shu Ming and others can't wait to live on the streets of Chang'an every day .

Just one street in Chang'an is even more prosperous than their Japanese city of Birds.

Even now, Lord Shu Ming's mouth is still full of oil residue, and he seems to have gained some weight in the past two days.

"It seems that your life in Datang is still very comfortable!"

Li Shimin said with a gentle face.

Inugami Mita quickly translated for Soga Ezo and others.

Su Wo was overjoyed, and congratulated again and again: "The Tang Dynasty is hundreds of times more prosperous than the Wa Kingdom, and it is a real kingdom of heaven, especially the east and west cities of Chang'an City, which are extremely prosperous..."

After listening to the translation by the translator of Honglu Temple, Li Shimin smiled lightly.

"Since you are so greedy for the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, then I will allow you to live in my Datang! It just so happens that those envoys from your Japanese country bought a yard in my Tang Dynasty and tidied it up, so that you can live in it." there!"

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Suga Ezo and all the ministers of the Wa Kingdom were grateful.

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others froze, they didn't expect these Japanese ministers to be so talkative.

But they don't know that the 'tyranny' of Li Xuan, Cheng Chusi and others has already scared and subdued these Japanese hozens!

Now, I just want to save my life and live comfortably.

"Since this is the case, in order to protect you and other Wa kingdoms, I ask Lord Shu Ming to issue an edict that Wa kingdoms are my Tang vassal states and must pay taxes to my Great Tang every year... From now on, my Great Tang master will protect you and other Wa kingdoms!"

Su Wo Ezo and all the ministers of the Wa Kingdom were dumbfounded when they heard this.

This emperor of the Tang Dynasty is really shameless, he is simply a bunch of robbers.

However, after seeing Lord Shu Ming who was still beaming at the side, Suga Ezo and the other ministers of the Wa Kingdom sighed softly in their hearts.

Immediately, everyone was grateful to Li Shimin and cast their eyes on the ground.

"I am so grateful to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty is merciful!"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others were startled again, looked at each other in surprise, and then laughed.

"Since this is the case, how much tax and annual tribute do you think Wa Kingdom should pay to our Tang Dynasty every year?"

Hearing this, Su Wo Eizo was taken aback, and was ready to answer with his hand.

Li Shimin waved his hand directly.

"What the King of Jin said, you and the Japanese wolf's ambition is very unbelievable. Therefore, I gave each of you a piece of paper, and you all wrote down the tax money and tax of the Japanese country every year.

If anyone dares to steal, rape, play tricks, and lie about the number, I will punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor. Not only will your car be torn apart, but your family will also be slaughtered! "

Hearing this, Su Wo Eizo and all the ministers of the Wa Kingdom shuddered subconsciously.

Immediately, quickly and respectfully wrote down a series of numbers.

Then, the translators of Honglu Temple translated to Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others one by one.

All the numbers are about the same.

However, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were dissatisfied with the boss and frowned slightly.

"One million pennies?"

"You are still a country, how can there be so little tax every year?"

"To His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the country is barren and the people are poor. These taxes are already the highest taxes in our country!"

Suga Ezo quickly explained.

"Humph!"

Eldest Sun Wuji snorted coldly, "You hozen don't lie to us, these taxes are just taxes paid by the poor people in the Wa Kingdom.

And the ministers and nobles of the Wa Kingdom have embezzled at least 100 million tax money from the Wa Kingdom! "

Hearing this, Su Wo Eizo and all the ministers of the Wa Kingdom were immediately panic-stricken.

"Hmph, a group of barbarians. Every year from now on, you and the Wa Kingdom will have to pay 200 million guan of property and 50 shi of grain to our Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face.

The ministers of Suwo Aizu and Wa Kingdom looked bitter and prepared to beg for mercy.

Li Shimin said again: "If you can't hand it over, my master of the Tang Dynasty will collect the money and food from your family. In addition, how much money you spend in the Tang Dynasty every year will also need to be paid by your family!

All these money will be collected by me, Datang, from you and others!

If you can't get it out, you will all go to serve in corvee! "

Inugami Mita quickly translated for Soga Ezo.

Immediately, Su Wo Eizi and all the ministers of the Wa Kingdom said humbly: "Yes, yes! Please rest assured, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom will definitely take out these money!"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others snorted coldly.

……

Chapter 546 Someone is jealous

Afterwards, let Suga Eizo write a series of letters of credence and affix the seal of King Shu Ming.

So Li Wei was asked to take these Japanese ministers and Lord Shu Ming out of the palace.

A group of Japanese ministers got on the carriage honestly and came to a deadly compound guarded by imperial guards.

In the courtyard, there are all the envoys sent by the Wa Kingdom to study in the Tang Dynasty.

"Because of the stupid things you did to our Tang mission in the country of Japan, the people of our Tang Dynasty were very angry. Therefore, you need the protection of our soldiers from the Tang Dynasty when you travel in the future, and you need to ask these soldiers every month. , Each person pays ten pennies to protect the money!

In addition, if you want to buy something and you have no money, you can also borrow money from these soldiers.

In the future, I will collect taxes and living expenses from you and other countries, and repay them together! "

Li Wei said coldly.

"Thank you General, I understand!"

Suga Ezo and other Japanese ministers nodded repeatedly.

In this regard, Li Wei just nodded slightly, and after handing over the Japanese ministers, he turned and left.

But Suwo Aizi, Lord Shu Ming and the others looked at the familiar envoys sent to Tang Dynasty in the courtyard, their eyes turned red immediately, and they wept loudly, filled with grief!

God knows, how did this group of people suffer until now in the hands of those demons in Datang without guards or servants?

Afterwards, a group of Japanese envoys from the Tang Dynasty came to visit Soga Ezo, Inugami Mita and others.

After hearing that among the crowd, the chubby child was actually Emperor Shu Ming, his face was full of misery and grief. Their emperor was actually captured in the Tang Dynasty!

After that, a group of envoys dispatched to Tang quickly arranged Suwo Eizo and others into the courtyard.

……

Lijiazhuang.

The heavy snow has accumulated a thick layer.

And in order to ease the relationship between himself and that little bastard, Li Xuan brought Cui Mi, Zi Yun, and that little bastard out of the courtyard, dressed in zongzi.

Then, he ordered Cheng Chusi, Xue Rengui and others to shovel all the snow around them according to his request, pile them up, and pile up several gentle hills one by one.

Arranged from highest to lowest.

Use iron catalpa to make a smooth slide.

Then, I found the largest iron catalpa, went to the pile of snow that was as high as a person, sat on the smooth side, and loosened my feet.

With a whoosh, it slid down from the height.

With momentum, rush up to the smaller pile of snow in front, then slide down, and then rush up to the smaller pile of snow in front...

Finally, it was pushed back by the snow slope of the last big snow bank.

Fun!

Although his body was already covered with snow, Li Xuan was inexplicably excited.

Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others on the side, when Li Xuan slid down the first pile of snow, their eyes widened and they were about to move.

How interesting are such simple piles of snowdrifts?

After Li Xuan got up, he gave a little encouragement, and Cui Mi and Zi Yun carefully sat on the iron tree and slid down with a whoosh!

Li Chenglu, who was watching from the side, giggled.

When Li Xuan, Cui Mi and others slid to the second time, Li Chenglu finally couldn't hold back, and walked forward cautiously.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Taking the iron catalpa from Zi Yun, Cui Mi put the little boy on the iron catalpa.

Li Xuan opened it lightly.

With a whoosh, accompanied by "giggles" laughter, Li Chenglu slid down.

The whole morning was spent skiing, making snowmen, and having snowball fights...

Li Xuan was exhausted enough, but Li Chenglu, this little thing, became more and more energetic the more he played, and he didn't know where this little thing got such strong physical strength.

However, what made Li Xuan very excited was that this little thing's attitude towards him finally improved.

However, at night, Li Xuan was still not allowed to enter Cui Mi's house.

In this way, I have been playing with him for more than ten days.

Li Xuancai finally let this little guy, Li Chenglu, get acquainted with him.

Thus, Li Xuan started his career as a baby boy.

Chicken pens, duck pens, pig pens, glass sheds... and various places outside Lijiazhuang, whenever Li Xuan went out, he would take them for a walk.

And the biggest benefit of this is that the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds, and Li Xuan finally heard the brat call him Aye.

At the same time, during this period, Datang had three more kings with foreign surnames.

Qinghe Cui, Xingyang Zheng, Fanyang Lu!

However, as these three families were crowned queens, some people in Li Tangzong's family began to make trouble.

"They all want to go out and learn from those aristocratic families to expand their territories?"

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Xuan couldn't help but sneered.

"Returning to Master, I am also very puzzled. Why can only the aristocratic family go out to capture those small countries, while my Li clan, although they have the title of prince, have not sealed the country and cannot govern the people?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Do you all think so too?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan was startled, and then looked at Li Chongyi and Li Baoding who were at the side.

But I saw that Li Chongyi also nodded subconsciously.

As for Li Baoding, he lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Hey!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but sneered helplessly, "I really don't know the blessings in the blessings!"

"They all think that outside of Great Tang, owning a small country is a hundred times happier than being my great prince?"

Forehead!
