I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

At the banquet, the sound of stringed instruments was heard.

The musicians plucked the strings of the zither with their fingers and played the bamboo pipes.

The dancers came gracefully in gorgeous costumes, dancing lightly with their graceful bodies and their clothes fluttering in the wind, interpreting the prosperity and splendor of the Tang Dynasty.

Envoys from various countries were deeply shocked by the splendor of the Tang Dynasty when they saw this scene.

As they savored the exquisite dishes on the table, the delicious flavor spread on their tongues, making their taste buds cheer.

They whispered to each other and praised the strength and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in low voices, their eyes full of surprise and admiration.

Li Chengqian sat upright on a high seat, slowly surveying everyone at the table, his heart filled with lofty sentiments.

Seeing that everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the maids quietly took away the plates.

Japanese ambassador Matsushita Arita keenly captured this moment of break during the banquet. He straightened his clothes, looked solemn, and walked quickly to the center of the banquet.

"The Japanese envoy Matsushita Arita pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Matsushita Arita knelt on his knees, leaned forward, and hit his forehead heavily on the ground, making a crisp sound.

When Li Chengqian saw that the Japanese envoy finally stood up, his face remained calm.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Matsushita Arita with a hint of doubt: "What do you want to tell me, the Japanese envoy?"

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, which seemed to have forgotten about the matter, Matsushita Arita felt anxious.

He quickly said, "Your Majesty, I have come here in the hope that Your Majesty can change the name of our country, Wa."

Li Chengqian stared at Matsushita Arita and said slowly, "The name Wakoku was given by Emperor Wu of Han."

"However, a country's name carries the foundation of a nation. How can it be easily changed?"

"The Tang Dynasty also adheres to ancient systems and the righteous ways of heaven and earth. The name has been established, and it has its own profound meaning that cannot be questioned."

"As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of upholding justice and must do my utmost to maintain the order and traditions of the world."

"Let's forget about this matter. Don't mention it again."

Li Chengqian's words reached Matsushita Arita's ears, making him feel quite aggrieved.

This statement clearly implies that the Wa people are short in stature, and there is nothing wrong with Emperor Wu of Han calling them "Wakoku".

But Matsushita Arita knew that he was powerless. After all, this was not the first or second time they had been rejected.

This is the fourth time they have hit a wall. Japan considers itself the land of the rising sun, shining brightly, but it is so difficult to change its name.

Emperor Wen of Sui refused, Emperor Yang of Sui refused, and Emperor Taizong of Tang also refused. They thought that with the new emperor ascending the throne, there might be a chance, but they didn't expect to be rejected again.

It seems that we have no choice but to continue waiting, as long as Japan perseveres.

In this vast land of China, there will always be an emperor who will be moved by their sincerity and change the name.

When the envoys from other surrounding countries heard about this, they all looked at him with contempt.

In their eyes, the Japanese are short, with ugly faces and rat-like eyes. How can they be good people with such appearance?

Matsushita Arita, however, did not care about the opinions of envoys from various countries. In his heart, only the opinion of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was of paramount importance.

At this moment, he failed to change the name, and immediately thought of the incident of the envoy team having their legs broken. In fact, he was too lazy to pursue the matter of not being able to change the name to Matsushita Arita.

But this incident may deepen the Emperor's impression of Japan.

Besides, this matter was something that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally promised to deal with. His Majesty could forget it, but he could not!

What if this is investigated later?

Matsushita Arita was secretly delighted to see that Li Chengqian was not angry with him for changing his name, and he hurried to strike while the iron was hot.

His expression became increasingly respectful. He knelt on the ground and said in a voice full of flattery, "Your Majesty, I have something else to report to you!"

Li Chengqian's face was pleasant, and his eyes revealed a gentleness that made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. "What do you want to tell me? Just tell me."

He was flattered by the gentle attitude.
