Chapter 135: Kill The Envoy First, And Then Conquer Japan Later
"What!" Queen Changsun jumped up in shock when she heard this: "This ambitious country has come to pay tribute?!"
When Li Shimin heard what Queen Changsun said, he was stunned for a moment and then said: "What does the Queen mean by this?"
Empress Changsun immediately said: "Your Majesty, please punish his envoys and refuse to accept the tribute from Japan. When the Tang Dynasty becomes stronger, we must cross the East China Sea to destroy this beastly country."
This shocked Li Shimin. He had never seen Empress Changsun like this.
He actually wanted to destroy a country, his murderous intent was unprecedented.
"After love, what happened? Isn't it a good thing that the other party comes to pay tribute?"
Queen Changsun said: "This is not a good thing! If your Majesty accepts their tribute, it will leave an eternal stigma.
"I just exchanged messages with my future friend Du Yu, and it just so happened that "293" just mentioned this Japanese Fuso."
"The other side is a country with wolfish ambitions. When it is weak, it will grovel like a dog. Once it becomes strong, it will turn into a wolf.
"They came to pay tribute to our Tang Dynasty out of good intentions."
"I want to get help from my Datang to become stronger."
"But after he became powerful, for thousands of years to come, whenever our Daxia nation was in danger, they would take the opportunity to take a bite."
"A hundred years before Du Yu's time, this country invaded our country. In less than twenty years, it killed more than 20 million of my people."
"How can your Majesty accept such a country?"
"And Du Yu also said that it was precisely because His Majesty accepted him, gave the country many benefits, and taught him many of the country's technologies that the country became stronger and became a disaster for the next thousand years."
"I wonder if this will be a stigma for His Majesty for the next thousand years?"
This surprised Li Shimin: "Is this really happening?"
Then Empress Changsun told Li Shimin exactly what Du Yu said.
When he heard how the little devils brutally killed our people in later generations, Li Shimin's hands turned pale with anger.
He cursed loudly: "The small country of Japan has bullied me too much! I swear to destroy you!"
When I heard that Goguryeo now will tamper with history and slander itself thousands of years in the future.
Li Shimin even smashed the rockery to pieces with one palm and shouted angrily: "You bastard, you bullied me to this point!"
"I have never destroyed you in history."
"I will never make this mistake now."
I also heard that gunpowder will be the key to making weapons in the future, and the role of the four great inventions.
I heard that because of the four great inventions, the Xia clan would be bullied in the future.
Li Shimin was also heartbroken.
Li Shimin was also shocked to hear that future firearms would be extremely powerful.
When he saw the drawing of the gun that Du Yu had passed over, Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he laughed: "Okay, great!"
Fusang's envoys were resting in the inn. They were shocked by the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and all of them showed greedy expressions.
"We're going to be this rich one day."
"One day we will make this country ours."
Just when they were thinking so greedily.
A group of Tang cavalry surrounded the inn.
The leading general pulled out a Tang Hengdao, pointed it at them and said: "Your Majesty has an order, the little country of Fusang is so ambitious that they should be punished for their crimes.
"Kill his envoys now, and conquer Japan one day! Kill them!"
Soon, this group of Fuso envoys were all beheaded.
The entire Tang Dynasty was shocked. Many ministers were originally happy and thought it was a good thing that Fusang Kingdom came to pay tribute.
Especially those civil servants who were deeply influenced by Confucianism were simply overjoyed.
But suddenly, Li Shimin ordered all Fusang envoys to be killed and to break off diplomatic relations with Fusang, which confused them all.
There was already a commotion in the court hall.
Li Shimin slapped the dragon chair and said: "Stop arguing, I have completely decided not to establish diplomatic relations with Fusang."
"Any future monarch of the Tang Dynasty will never establish diplomatic relations with Fusang, otherwise he will not be worthy of being the king of the Tang Dynasty."
"Li Jing, I order you to start training the navy from today.
"I now make a wish to flatten the entire Fusang in my lifetime."
"Please all ministers to bear witness! If I cannot defeat Fusang, please write the word "faint" on my posthumous title to prove that I am incompetent!"
These words were extremely serious, and he actually used his posthumous title without certificate. This showed that Li Shimin hated Fusang so much that he must destroy him! This made all the ministers dare not speak anymore and tremble!
Li Shimin said: "In the future, destroying Fusang and quelling Korea will be one of our basic national policies of the Tang Dynasty...0°
"Secondly, from now on, I, the Tang Dynasty, will not accept the so-called false name of all nations coming to court."
"Either you surrender your land and completely become a member of our Datang, or you are destroyed by our Datang.
"Never want that vassal state in name only."
"Third, all of you remember one sentence for me."
"The Tang Dynasty began with itself. As long as there is still one person, there must be no fraternity, no tribute, no cession of territory, and no indemnity.
"If any king violates these four rules, he is not worthy of being the king of a country, and the whole world can rebel against it!"
"Some time ago, someone proposed to make peace with the surrounding countries. Please don't mention this matter again in the future, otherwise I will definitely kill you.
"You can get married if you really want to!"
"But under the circumstances, it was me, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, who married out, but other countries married their princesses in to me."
"Otherwise, no need to talk!"
"We have tens of millions of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, but we still can't defend this border. Are you ashamed of asking a woman to sacrifice her life's happiness and commit herself to another country in order to gain temporary peace?"
"How will future generations view us in the future?"
"They will not think that we are getting married for the sake of the country, but that I and you all are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are incompetent and cowardly people!"
After hearing this, Li Jing was overjoyed and said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true! I am not afraid of sacrifice! It is definitely not a good idea to exchange the princess's marriage for peace.
Cheng Yaojin also stepped out and said: "Yes, I agree too!"
"Why should we let our princess get married?"
"Marrying off our princess will only show that we are cowards and will only make others think that we are weak.
"If you want to marry, it will be a princess from another country who will marry in and become our wife."
The generals all laughed and said, "That makes sense, Your Majesty is wise!"
