Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 558: Imperial decree

Views:

And just when the two were quarreling over their names, a large number of Japanese soldiers and courtiers appeared in Hakata Port.

Li Hong took Princess Dalai's hand and quickly ran from the first deck to the fourth floor of the building. Over the past few days, Princess Dalai had long forgotten the fact that she was a Saio. The back of my head.

Moreover, even if I am not being held by someone at the moment, I was in the sea a few days ago, or even woken up by his snoring that night, held in his arms, and slept in bed all night, my identity as a Saio , has long existed in name only.

Even if he returns to Japan and meets his father, how can he have the face to continue to hold the important royal position of pure Saio? How to practice self-cultivation in the Zhai Palace

Therefore, when she was being held by Li Hong and running away, she didn't think so much at all. It was only when she stood on the highest deck and looked at the harbor that she suddenly took her hand away from Li Hong's warm hand. Pulled out.

"Who is coming? Tell me your name!" Li Hong shouted with a loudspeaker in one hand. Behind him stood Lawless and Princess Dalai next to him.

"His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, please accept the imperial edict." A Japanese official at the port respectfully held an imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty and shouted loudly.

Li Hong was shocked: What's going on? How come my father's imperial edict reached the Japanese country, and the imperial edict was read to him by the officials of the Japanese country

No, I haven't seen anyone going to sea recently. How did this imperial edict reach the Japanese country

"Unable to go ashore, go get the imperial edict and check its authenticity." Li Hong said to Unable, and then watched Unable quickly walk to the lowest deck, put down a ship, rushed forward, and quickly sailed into the harbor. .

After seeing that he could not leave, Li Hong narrowed his eyes and looked at Princess Dalai beside him with a thoughtful look: "You went to sea just to plead with the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, right?"

As expected by Li Hong, Princess Dalai raised her proud and delicate chin and said calmly: "Yes, it is just to plead with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can withdraw his troops to maintain the friendly relations between the two countries for many years. "

"Tell me what your father thinks. Do you think we will retreat like this? Do you think we are the navy of the Tang Dynasty? What if we are not?" Li Hong did not expect that this little girl would hide herself for so long. I had thought about who those people who escaped were and what their purpose was, but after thinking about it, I never thought that they would bypass me and go to Chang'an to plead for mercy.

"Except the Tang Dynasty, whose navy can be so powerful, whose soldiers can be so tenacious and brave..."

"Don't wear your hat, it's not easy. Tell me how much money you plan to give. We can't go in vain, not to mention that one of our ships sank near your Japanese country, and a lot of gold on it was stolen by you... "

"It's nonsense. It's nothing. You're a scoundrel. It's just an empty ship. When our Japanese navy rushed over, it had already sunk. Only one sail was visible. And all the people we could save had been rescued and returned to us. You are in the Tang Dynasty, where is the gold?" Princess Dalai retorted angrily.

This robber and scoundrel talks about this nonsense every day, that the Tang Dynasty lost ten thousand taels of gold, all of which was snatched away by the people of the Japanese country. He will never leave unless he hands over the money.

Who doesn't know that he is talking nonsense? The entire Japanese country's gold combined may not be as much as the amount of gold that he talks about every day!

One moment it was ten thousand taels, the next one hundred thousand taels, and one time it even turned into one million taels of gold. Why didn't he say that all the gold in the world belonged to his Tang Dynasty!

Looking at the angry Princess Dalai, whose plump breasts were rising and falling violently, Li Hong glanced sideways, and was immediately glared hard at by Princess Dalai.

"Now that I have the imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I find that you have become more confident, but do you think we can leave without giving you a penny?"

"Shameless, greedy, scoundrel, disgusting, why should we give you money..."

"Because my ship sank."

"We didn't sink it."

"Then you also have to compensate for the losses."

"No compensation, I won't pay you a penny."

"If I don't leave, I won't leave here even one step."

The two stared at each other, refusing to give in, just wanting to see who could last until the end and who could become the final winner.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but hurriedly ran up. Looking at the imperial edict Gongjin held in his hand, he knew that this imperial edict seemed to be true.

"Bring it here." Li Hong gave up glaring at Princess Dalai and roughly took the edict and glanced at the words and sentences. He knew at a glance that it couldn't be a fake edict.

After all, it had been a long time since my father had given him an imperial edict in such a "kind" and "kind" manner.

The smile on Li Hong's face seemed a little stiff. Father Long was really disrespectful. Why should he scold others so harshly? After all, this imperial edict had to pass through the hands of outsiders before it could reach his own hands. Can't he be restrained

Besides, family scandals should not be made public. If you scold your prince like this and let Japanese ministers see it, what will they think in their hearts

Really, it is not appropriate and well thought out. This edict is very insincere!

"When are you leaving!" Princess Dalai looked at this shameless man staring blankly at the imperial edict, but her mind was obviously wandering to nowhere. She must have been frightened after seeing the imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The six gods have no master.

So the proud Princess Dalai saw Li Hong looking at her blankly, and said easily: "Don't worry, as long as you withdraw your troops now, I will ask my father to thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, those who spoke well of you said that you were obedient and left immediately after receiving the imperial edict."

"Who told you that we are going to withdraw our troops? You said that you are a member of the Tang Dynasty. Haven't you ever heard of the saying 'if generals are outside, military orders will not be obeyed'? By the way, some of those little devils have read this Is it an imperial edict?" Li Hong glanced at the arrogant Princess Dalai with disdain, and asked hurriedly when he remembered the urgent question of the imperial edict.

"This... Young Master, there shouldn't be... right? The general doesn't know very well, they didn't say anything." Helplessly, His Highness asked himself to check the authenticity of the imperial edict. He must have read the content.

He naturally knew what was written above, and he didn't even need to check the authenticity of the imperial edict. Just by looking at what it said, he knew that the edict must not be false.

After all, many imperial edicts using this form of wording and sentence construction were received in Anxi. Most of the imperial edicts placed in the East Palace today are similar to this way of wording and sentence construction.

When Princess Dalai heard Li Hong's words, her eyes suddenly widened. She walked up to Li Hong, looked up at Li Hong, and asked in disbelief: "Are you sure you won't withdraw your troops? This belongs to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial edict! Those who disobey it will be beheaded!"

"It would have been cut long ago. I wouldn't be able to live well until now. Uh-huh... I can't give orders to Li Chunfeng, Zhang Yi, and Cui Zhibian immediately. The three warships jointly continue to go north to Namba Port. , His grandma actually dared to complain behind his back, show them how powerful he is!" After Li Hong reflexively answered Princess Dalai's words, he thought about what he could say.

"Yes, Young Master, I will go right away." Unable to glance at the somewhat pale Princess Dalai, she walked down the stairs.

"Hey! Why don't you withdraw your troops? Why do you want to go north? What do you want to do?" Princess Dalai looked at Li Hongchong's order and turned around to look at the harbor with a frown. She didn't even pay attention to him, so she hurriedly He asked anxiously as he followed behind.

"This is the consequence of your snitching, your punishment for snitching! Let's see if you still dare to complain to me, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Hong patted the railing and looked at Princess Dalai, who was anxious and confused. With a look of confidence, he snorted coldly.

But now, he feels that something is difficult. Father Long seems to be really angry this time. He originally thought that after going to Jiangnan and taking a boat to the Japanese country, Father Long and Mother Long would not know about it. Unexpectedly, , no one of his own complained, but he was actually complained by the Japanese. After going back, it may be a bit difficult. How will Father Long reprimand him

"Are you really not afraid of being beheaded? Disobeying an imperial decree is a serious crime in the Tang Dynasty! I know all this!" Princess Dalai was very annoyed and wished Li Hong would leave quickly.

"Let me ask you, was it your idea to plead with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, or was it your father's idea?" Li Hong stared closely at Princess Dalai's beautiful eyes and looked at his reflection inside. .

"What do you care? In short, it is true that your Emperor asked you to withdraw your troops."

"It seems like it was your father's idea. Okay, if you don't have five million taels of silver, don't expect me to withdraw my troops."

"You... this is my idea!" Princess Dalai has become accustomed to this scoundrel's style of dealing with things, which is to do what he says and not be afraid of anything. I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that he doesn't dare to do. So I had to give in.

"What's your idea? Asami Ye Zi, your elbows are turned outward. How could you harm your master..."

"I don't have my elbows turned out... No, my name is not Ye Zi. Also, I am the Princess of Dalai, the princess of the Japanese Kingdom, not your slave! I don't even have my elbows turned out!" Princess Dalai was almost furious. I almost fell into his trap if I wasn't careful.

"Then who told you to come up with such a bad idea? Do you think you will plead with me, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and then we will leave? Dream on, because your stupid plan will cost dad an extra five million taels of silver. Just wait to be beheaded by your father!" Li Hong leaned against the railing and ignored the words coming from the Japanese ministers behind him. He just looked at Qianhai Zi with a sneer.
