Chapter 709: Humiliation and honor

Views:

Li Hong wanted to make close contact with Prince Ojin's face with his fist, but looking at Prince Ojin's sincere expression, his clenched fist finally relaxed.

"I don't care what your sister, Princess Da Lai, wants to do, whether she is trying to hide it or is really telling the truth, but you can tell her that if you want to use..." Li Hong gestured on his stomach, and then continued: "If she wants to threaten me with this, she has made the wrong calculation."

"So, you are going to give up and be irresponsible?" Prince Dajin didn't know whether he didn't learn Tang dialect well or if he learned it too well. In short, this ambiguous expression made Li Hong tremble again. .

Li Hong sighed silently and looked at Prince Ojin with a sincere face angrily: "Let's be honest, is your sister's belly big?"

"I've gained a lot of weight."

"Have you said goodbye to Saiou?"

"Is it better to resign... or not to resign? Which one do you want?" Prince Dajin discovered that the Crown Prince of Shangguo was not as cunning and ruthless as the imperial sister said. In his opinion, he felt that the Tang Dynasty's His Royal Highness is very easy to get along with.

Li Hong didn't want to be led by others, especially by Princess Dalai. Moreover, the Yuan Ri Dynasty meeting was coming soon. If he compromised because of the Japanese envoy, who knew whether he would be led by others. Seize the handle, and then threaten yourself to compromise on more things.

"Let's go, let's go. I don't want to talk to you anymore. I don't welcome people who are insincere." Li Hong stood up, looked at Prince Ojin who was still sitting still, and directly pulled him up and pushed him out.

"You... you haven't given me an answer yet, I can't leave." Prince Dajin didn't expect that Li Hong would suddenly lose interest in talking.

"Answer your sister, it's wrong. Reply your sister. Reply, no reply. Go back and tell your sister, Princess, I don't care what mysteries she is trying to do, but if she wants to blackmail me with the 'goods' in her belly, then she But it was a wrong calculation.”

"Why? She said that the royal family of the country attaches great importance to the inheritance of blood, and will not allow the royal blood to be left outside, and it is also overseas." Prince Ojin is several years younger than Princess Dalai, and now he is only just now When he was eighteen or nineteen years old, when he saw Li Hong blasting him out, he immediately became a little flustered and confused.

"So, does your sister really have a baby?"

Prince Dajin felt his shoulders relax, and the thoughtful words of His Highness the Crown Prince of Tang Dynasty came to his ears.

"You... you lied to me?" Prince Ojin was startled, and then realized that he had been deceived by his pushing, thinking that he was really trying to drive him out, so in desperation, he told the truth he wanted.

Li Hong looked at the astonished Prince Ojin, smiled disdainfully, then pointed to the sofa just now, motioning for him to sit down, and then said lazily: "Since the Japanese country sent you to our Tang Dynasty, you must be shouldering the responsibility." You have a lot of heavy responsibilities on your shoulders. If you fall out with me, some of your other matters will obviously be more difficult to solve. So in a hurry, you are afraid of losing the opportunity to talk to me, so you tell the truth without thinking. This is normal, isn't it? No need to be angry."

"You are really cunning!" Prince Ojin's face began to darken, and a heavy sense of frustration arose in his heart.

His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is right. As a superior country, the Tang Dynasty is also the most powerful country. Not only Prince Dajin, but also the Crown Prince who is actually in charge of the Tang Dynasty hopes to meet with him, as well as the envoys of other foreign countries. I also hope to meet Li Hong.

As soon as Prince Dajin arrived in Chang'an and settled down, he came to see Li Hong immediately. After entering the East Palace, he saw a dozen envoys from foreign countries in a large room, carrying Precious gifts, large and small, were eagerly waiting for the summons of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty with smiling faces.

And with the jade pendant given by the imperial sister, he was lucky enough to be the first to walk into the study of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty under the envious gaze of those people. Therefore, such a rare opportunity could not be squandered easily for him. .

When Li Hong pushed him out, facing this hard-won opportunity, Prince Dajin obviously didn't want to waste it. Everyone knew that after missing this opportunity, it would be difficult to stay in Chang'an in the future. I got another chance to talk to Li Hong alone.

So in a hurry, facing Li Hong's casual questioning, Prince Dajin naturally told Li Hong the details of his imperial sister, Princess Dalai.

Seeing Li Hong sitting on the sofa with a satisfied smile, Prince Dajin's face became more and more ugly. He was already very careful, but he still fell into the trap accidentally.

"The Chongwen Palace has never been open to other people, only to my students from the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, whether this is your Japanese country's request or her Dalai Princess's request, I will not agree to it. However, you can do so at the Imperial College and the Hongwen Palace. Think about it, the cost will naturally be borne by you.”

"Are you really planning to give up your royal bloodline?" Faced with the fearless Li Hong, Prince Dajin could only threaten her with the child in her sister's belly.

Li Hong looked at the gloomy and indignant Prince Dajin, as if sizing up his brother-in-law, stood up and walked to him, and said in a calm tone: "If I want, with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, I can easily defeat you." The Japanese country will be included in my territory of the Tang Dynasty. Even the Japanese country will be mine by then, let alone just a child in her belly? "

Pointing his index finger on Prince Dajin's shoulder, Li Hong paused and continued: "Tell Princess Da Lai that this little trick will not work at all, and I will not accept such threats, or she will return to Chang'an immediately. , give me the child to be born in Chang'an, or..."

"Are you going to send your naval warships from the Tang Dynasty to turn the Japanese country into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, or are you going to kidnap my imperial sister to your Datang Dynasty?" Prince Dajin faced Li Hong, who was more than a head taller than him, and his aura became fierce. He couldn't suppress others, even if he asked forcefully, but the moment he raised his head, most of the toughness in his tone had disappeared.

"Is it difficult to turn Japan into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and then take her back to Chang'an? When you came, you should have seen the warships of the Tang Dynasty on the vast sea, right? There are no longer five warships Are you ready? Go back. The two hundred Tang Dynasty envoys can go to the Hongwen Pavilion. This is what I promised you. You'd better not mention anything else." Li Hong let go of Prince Dajin's shoulders and walked to his bed, which was so spacious. He sat down behind the desk and looked at Prince Otsu leisurely.

Prince Dajin stood in front of the desk for a long time without moving. This was the first time he saw such a big desk. Looking at the relaxed Prince Tang behind the desk, Prince Dajin thought for a moment and said in a deep voice again: "Sister Huang said, she can Marrying into the Tang Dynasty and being taken into the East Palace as your concubine will bring shame to the entire Japanese country, our royal family, and the gods, but as long as you are willing to help our Japanese country, she is willing."

"Marrying me will bring shame to your royal family and the gods?" Li Hong put his hands on the desk and leaned his chin, and said: "Are you sure you are not marrying me? It will only make your royal family feel honored and make your bullshit God, excitedly climbed out of the grave and knelt down and kowtowed at me?"

"You... you can slander me, but you can't slander our..."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear down your bullshit palace and throw all the bullshit gods into the sea!" Li Hong stood up from his chair, pointed at Prince Ojin and his tone became fierce: "Show yourselves straight. Position! Go back and tell your father that in the future, when the Japanese worship, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty should be in the first place, and your gods should be in the back! Starting from next year, if you let me know that you did not follow my order, then Don’t blame me for tearing down your shitty palace!”

Prince Dajin was struck by Li Hong's imposing and arrogant words. He didn't know whether he was angry or frightened. In short, he stood there with a pale face, trembling all over and not knowing what to say.

But in my heart, I have already begun to imagine that if one day, the Japanese royal family really worships the gods, they need to worship the Tang royal family first, and then they can worship the gods. Is this...

Prince Otsu didn't dare to think any more, and his mind began to echo with Princess Olai's instructions to him before he came, but... it seemed that even so, he still messed up everything.

The imperial sister is right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is completely unpredictable. You don't know whether he will appear in front of you as a humble gentleman or an arrogant tyrant at the next moment.

In short, everything must be dealt with carefully and don't make too many requests. As long as the two hundred envoys from the Tang Dynasty can enter the Tang Academy and let them know my ambiguous current situation, no other requests are allowed!

Prince Otsu's lips trembled involuntarily as he thought about the instructions given to him by his sister, Princess Dai Lai.

I shouldn't have told him that marrying the emperor's sister into the Tang Dynasty was a humiliation to his royal family and the gods.

Because no matter what, the Tang Dynasty is the superior country of the Japanese country, and marrying their prince should be an honor for the Japanese royal family as the prince of the Tang Dynasty said.

But he was an errant man, and the words he said made His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty feel offended and allowed him to further punish his own royal family!

Prince Otsu's heart was filled with frustration and regret, and he was about to be overwhelmed by a deep sense of frustration.

Looking at the historian who was busy writing in the corner, Prince Ojin wished he could snatch the white rice paper from his hand and tear out the previous page, which recorded the stupid words he just said!

Every foreign envoy arriving and seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty would have their every word recorded by the historian. Therefore, there were historians in Li Hong's study, and even Li Hong himself could not drive them away. Go out and don't let anyone be there.

Of course, if possible, he would rather have the historian not in the study than Prince Ojin. As for the decree just given to Prince Ojin, he can definitely give it to the Japanese country at another time.
