Datang romantic little landlord

"You will enjoy it, this cell is more comfortable than my bedroom." Li Er glared at Li Wangyou angrily.

Li Wangyou could only laugh at this, without explaining much.

What can he say, he shouldn't have been in this prison in the first place, and he was imprisoned wrongly to cause such an innocent disaster. It is obviously Li Er's responsibility to say it.There's nothing wrong with living comfortably by yourself, and he's not really a prisoner.

Li Er was not polite, and sat down beside the table, motioned to Li Wangyou, and asked him to pour him a drink.

Li Wangyou hurriedly changed the wine glass again and poured fine wine for Li Er.

As for the leftover dishes from eating with the dudes before, naturally they couldn't entertain Li Er.But fortunately, the beautiful boss was careful, and asked Perrin to bring him a lot of dried meat and peanuts to go with the wine.

Asking the jailer and cell boss to clean up the leftovers in the cell, Li Wangyou took out boiled five-spice peanuts, fried peanuts, and beef jerky to eat.

It is generally believed that peanuts are originally produced in Peru and Brazil in South America, but in fact, peanuts have existed in China since ancient times, and they are called longevity fruits, groundnuts or ground beans.

However, Tang people naturally don't know how to eat spiced peanuts and fried peanuts. Li Er curiously took one and chewed it in his mouth, his eyes lit up.

"Ziyou, I'm really convinced by your mouth. When it comes to cooks, you are number one in the entire Tang Dynasty. I haven't seen anything comparable to your family."

"Hey, eat more if you like it, uncle, it's perfect for drinking."

Li Er ate a few peanuts and took another sip of fine wine, feeling much happier.He waved his hand to signal the guards and jailers to leave, then he put down his wine glass and said to Li Wangyou seriously.

"Ziyou, you almost missed my big deal this time."

"My nephew killed the Dongying people. There is no way to refute this, so I naturally let my uncle do it."

"Hmph, if you kill a few Dongying people, you will kill them. What's the crime? What's more, those Dongying people deserve to die. They actually kidnapped your little lady. It's not a pity to die! But you shouldn't kill them at this time." Li Er He gave Li Wangyou a dissatisfied look.

Li Wangyou didn't understand, so he said, "Uncle, what do you say?"

"These Dongying people are here to submit their credentials to me. I hope that I will agree with them to send envoys to pay tribute and learn our Tang culture. They are called Tang envoys. This matter is related to the majesty of our Tang Dynasty. Since the Dongying people expressed their submission, I Of course I agree with them to come to my Tang Dynasty to study. But many people in the court have a lot of criticism about this, and Ziyou, you killed three Japanese envoys at this time, isn’t it embarrassing me? Hmph, I’m afraid Wang Renyou, Zheng Yuanshou, Cui Xin and the others are already overjoyed at this time."

Li Er was very happy to be able to make the Dongying people bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers. Of course, he did not object to the Dongying people wanting to send envoys on a large scale to study in the Tang Dynasty.

You know, in the former Sui Dynasty, the Dongying people sent envoys to meet Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. In the letter of state, they wrote brazenly: "The emperor is not at the place where the sun rises until the day of the book. The emperor is safe."

The emperor called himself the "Son of Sunrise", and called Emperor Sui Yang "Son of Sun", which naturally made Sui Yang very angry.

But now that Datang is under the "leadership" of Li Erying and martial arts, those "barbarians" before bowed their heads and bowed their heads and professed their ministers. How can Li Er be unhappy.

In fact, there are many bigwigs from the DPRK and China who expressed their support for the Dongying people to send Tang envoys.

Whether it was Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, or even Wei Zheng, they all supported it.

After all, from their point of view, being able to attract a large number of "students" from the surrounding vassal states fully explained the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the power of the Tang Empire.

In fact, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even in later generations, in order to attract foreign students, didn't a certain Chinese university come up with the "student buddy system" that made countless netizens complain?

But now in the imperial court, those who oppose the "send Tang envoy" are precisely Li Wangyou's "enemies", the aristocratic family.

This is actually very understandable, the aristocratic family does not want Li Er to show such "limelight", and even more unwilling Li Er to show his literary and martial arts and continue to consolidate Li Er's imperial power.

The aristocratic family found all kinds of excuses to grind their teeth with Li Er in the court hall, just to stop this matter.

Now that Li Wangyou became a confidante in a rage and slaughtered three Japanese envoys, I am afraid that this matter will be publicized by the aristocratic family.

For example, Dongying people are arrogant and unreasonable, and they cannot be taught. If they are not of our race, their hearts must be different, so as to hinder the dispatch of Tang envoys.

It was precisely because Wei Zheng thought of this that he was worried.

After figuring out what happened, Li Wangyou couldn't help but be dumbfounded, what's this weird thing called?

According to Li Wangyou's heart, he wished that the matter of sending the Tang envoy would be over.

Li Er and the others didn't know, but Li Wangyou knew it well, the Dongying people across the sea were ambitious.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Dongying people sent a total of 600 envoys to the Tang Dynasty, ranging from a hundred to as many as five or six hundred, to study in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to the officials of the mission, the Dongying envoys to the Tang Dynasty also included doctors, painters, musicians, and craftsmen from all walks of life, such as shipbuilders, ship masters, shipwrights, carpenters, casters, blacksmiths, and jade workers.

It can be said that the envoys sent by the Dongying people to the Tang Dynasty basically included all walks of life in the local area, and they studied the Tang Dynasty in an all-round way and around the clock.

After the Tang envoys returned to China, they also brought all kinds of knowledge of the Tang Dynasty's art, technology, culture, medicine, and system back to Dongying.

More importantly, the envy of Chinese culture also inspired the wolfish ambition of the Japanese people to expand their territory.

After the Dongying people absorbed the essence of the Tang culture, even though the Song Dynasty was more prosperous, there were no "Song envoys" anymore. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Dongying people were already full-fledged, and they had already begun to invade China. .

So Li Wangyou didn't think it was a good idea to "send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty", and he didn't think there was any glory in it.

Of course, what made him even more distressed was that the one who stood on the same side as him was actually his previous "enemy", a powerful family...

Li Wangyou felt that he was really embarrassed. If one is not good, he might have to look in the mirror like Zhu Bajie, who is not a human being inside and out.

Li Wangyou was really unwilling to let him support Li Er without conscience, and let a large number of Dongying envoys to the Tang Dynasty come to Datang, unscrupulously learn the precious knowledge accumulated by the ancestors.

And if he, together with the aristocratic family, unequivocally opposes the dispatch of the Tang envoy, I am afraid that Li Er will really put him in prison under his rage.

Li Wangyou pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "Uncle, forgive my nephew for speaking bluntly, the Japanese sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid they have some intentions. My nephew knows something about the Japanese people. These dwarfs are alone overseas, My nephew is also worried that after they learn all the good things about my Great Tang, they will become a big trouble in the future."

Li Er naturally didn't believe what he said.As long as it is the Japanese people who kidnapped his little lady today, after the conflict, naturally they will not speak good things about the Japanese people.

Today, the main enemy of the Tang Dynasty is the Turkic people in the north. As for the Wa people, even the aristocratic families who are most opposed to sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty do not feel that they are a threat from the Tang Dynasty.

Li Wangyou thought about it for a long time, but there was no excuse to persuade Li Er, which made him very distressed.

"Uncle, in short, it's better to be careful, don't give me another disease of the Tang Dynasty. My nephew thinks that sending envoys from the Tang Dynasty to my Tang Dynasty to learn the classics of the sages, the teachings of Taoism and Buddhism, and even enter the imperial court. However, the craftsman skills of our Tang Dynasty cannot be taught to them, and should be kept strictly confidential."

Li Er was noncommittal: "Oh, why is this?"

Li Wangyou rolled his eyes wildly for a long time before he finally came up with an unreasonable reason: "Uncle, the Wa Kingdom is across the sea from Baekje and Silla, and it is not far from Goguryeo. This Goguryeo was built by the Wei Dynasty. There is a record in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", saying that it is "the same family as the Japanese, and their language is similar". Uncle, you must guard against it. If the Japanese learn how to build warships, swords and even military systems from our Tang Dynasty, teach them privately Giving it to Goguryeo, wouldn’t that be a disguised form of capitalizing on the enemy? The Wa country is isolated overseas and has no enemies at all, so why do you need to learn these things?”

He bowed to Li Er again: "Uncle, the Goguryeo was not allowed to be conquered three times in the former Sui Dynasty. The corpses of hundreds of thousands of good Chinese men were built by the Goguryeo people. What a shame? Being learned from Goguryeo is even more worrying for me in the Tang Dynasty, but I don’t know when I will be able to conquer Goguryeo and welcome back the corpse of my good man in China. Please think again, uncle, as the saying goes, if you don’t keep secrets, you will lose your country. As a matter of fact, if a few things are not kept secret, it will cause harm. How can I pass on the craftsman skills of the Great Tang to these barbarian countries?"

What Li Wangyou said actually didn't make any sense, it was just a sneaky change of concept and forcibly linking Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo.

But Goguryeo was also a thorn in Li Er's heart, especially the Jingguan, where the corpses of hundreds of thousands of former Sui soldiers were piled up, made him even more annoyed.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, efforts were made to restore relations with Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla.

In the fifth year of Wude, the two sides exchanged prisoners of war.In the seventh year of Wude, King Rongliu of Goguryeo accepted the reign title of Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan canonized King Rongliu as King of Liaodong County and King of Koryo, King Wu of Baekje as King of Daifang County, and King Jinpyeong of Silla as King of Lelang County. .

But whether it was Li Yuan or Li Er, they all refused to ask Goguryeo for the bones of the former Sui soldiers who died in battle.

Even Goguryeo, in order to guard against the Tang Dynasty, began to build the Great Wall of Koryo along the border of the Tang Dynasty with great fanfare.This naturally made Li Er extremely angry and annoyed, but he had to endure it.
