Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 39

The matter of Prince Li Chengqian's lameness soon reached the ears of Li Er and Li Tai.

Li Er was stunned, and Li Tai was excited.

It seems that although Li Chengqian was not killed, the prince was limped.

In this way, you can't let a crippled prince be the emperor, right?

Therefore, Li Tai felt that his chances were still great, and this time, he could be considered a success.

Li Chengqian fell into despair. At the same time, he was full of hatred for Li Tai, and even more for Li Ke.

After all, he was sure that Li Ke gave Li Tai something like a bomb.

In addition, Li Er also panicked.

The prince has become a lame man, what is this called?

As soon as this incident happened, many civil servants had already come to Li Er, asking for a new crown prince.

After all, the future monarch cannot always be disabled.

And some ministers on Li Tai's side began to strive to make Li Tai the crown prince.

So, in a few days, the huge court has become two camps, one side wants to change the prince, and the other side decides that it doesn't matter if you have leg problems...

The entire Great Tang Dynasty Hall was stirred up into a miasma, and Li Er had a headache. For a while, he didn't know what to do.

Li Ke, who received these news, just smiled, then looked at Chang'an in the west, and said lightly:
"It's just the beginning, and you have a headache? How boring is that?"

He wants to destroy Li Er's family, so as to relieve his hatred.

At this moment, Wu Meiniang came over to Li Ke with a booklet and said:
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Silla has come with a letter of credence, and wants to become a country of brothers with the Kingdom of Long. Take a look!"

Li Ke took it over and looked at it. The general content is that Silla wants to maintain peace with the Dragon Kingdom forever and become a country of brothers.

Smiling, Li Ke said, "Brother? He Xinluo really thinks highly of himself."

"Then what does His Majesty mean?" Wu Meiniang asked.

Li Ke said: "Reply to Silla, there is no need for such hypocritical routines, let them come to something practical, otherwise, it is meaningless!"

"Actual things?" Wu Meiniang said, "Are you paying tribute?"

"It's surrender. He Silla is the subject, and I am the ruler of the Dragon Kingdom!" Li Ke said.

Wu Meiniang nodded: "They definitely don't want to."

"Then there will be a reason to attack later?" Li Ke hugged Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang smiled: "Your Majesty wanted to beat them, so whatever they did was wrong."

Li Ke nodded: "My Mei Niang is smart."

Just saying this, a eunuch came in again and bowed:

"Your Majesty, the Japanese envoys are here. See you, Your Majesty?"

"Wo country..."

Li Ke didn't like these two words.

But he was also curious, the country of Wa is across the sea, what are you doing here?
"See you, right here in the imperial study!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch went down, and not long after, two middle-aged men in kimonos and clogs walked in.

The two middle-aged men with braids on their heads walked into the imperial study with small steps, and then both bowed:

"The envoy of the Wa Kingdom has met His Majesty the Dragon Kingdom."

Li Ke frowned. The two Japanese envoys didn't kneel down when they saw him, so they didn't take him seriously as the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Wa sent envoys here, I don't know why!"

Li Ke is not entangled, let's listen to their purpose first.

"His Majesty the Dragon Kingdom, the Emperor sent us here to convey the Emperor's wish to cooperate with the Dragon Kingdom!" the envoy said.

Li Ke was puzzled: "Willing to cooperate? Tell me!"

"Yes, my emperor learned that His Majesty Longguo has enmity with Datang, so he wants to join hands with His Majesty to attack Datang..."

Li Ke was taken aback when he heard the words, the country of Wa is indeed a country of wolf ambitions, so he started to make up his mind?
However, although Li Ke will attack Datang sooner or later, he also completely disdains to cooperate with the Wa Kingdom.

After all, it will be impossible to share the world at that time, and it may be overshadowed by the Japanese country.

Therefore, Li Ke said: "I intend to attack Tang, but I have no intention of joining forces with other countries."

"Your Majesty the Dragon Kingdom, do you feel that you don't need to join forces with the Wa Kingdom to take down the Tang Kingdom?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the envoy's words.

Li Ke frowned and said, "My Dragon Kingdom has its own strength!"

"I don't think that's the case with the emperor, what my emperor means is, cooperation..."

"No need, I'm not interested in cooperating with Japan!" Li Ke waved his hand.

The envoy sneered:
"That's right, then our Wa country is bound to attack Tang country, but we can go to Tang country, across the sea, and take the sea route, which is closer to Long country.

Therefore, if the Dragon Kingdom is not willing, then our army of the Wa Kingdom can only use the way of the Dragon Kingdom to go to the Tang Kingdom..."

Li Ke narrowed his eyes, excuse me?

You, the country of Wa, took a knife and led people, passing by my country of Long, to chop down the country of Tang next door to me...

Will Dragon Council open the door for you to let you pass by?

I really opened the door for you, you might cut down the Dragon Kingdom first...

After all, the border of a country has passes, and these passes are important fortresses against foreign enemies.

Obviously opening the gate to let you in will really make it difficult for you to successfully enter the gate without a single soldier.

You're not a fool, would you believe him?
This kind of thing is clearly threatening Li Ke, telling him that if you don’t help us fight against the Tang Dynasty, our soldiers from the Wa Kingdom will use excuses to come to your Dragon Kingdom...

However, Li Ke was not intimidated.

It would be strange for him to be afraid of such a thing.

He didn't take the initiative to attack the Wa country, and the Wa country should be high-spirited.

Unexpectedly, Wa Kingdom is quite crazy and plans to come to the door by himself.

Therefore, Li Ke turned cold, and instead of answering the envoy, he said to Wu Meiniang:
"Pass down an order to order the Ministry of War to increase the training of sea soldiers. In addition, let the Ministry of Industry build warships and add bombs and cannons from the firearms factory to the warships."

Wu Meiniang nodded, praising Li Ke's domineering.

The envoy was a little confused, and after realizing it, he frowned and said:

"Your Majesty intends to start a war with our country?"

Li Ke said lightly: "I haven't been in a hurry to deal with you, but you have jumped up to provoke me, what can I do? I can only tell you, my Dragon Kingdom has never been afraid of war!"

The Japanese envoy snorted coldly: "I'm afraid His Majesty Long doesn't know the strength of our Japanese country..."

"It's your Wo Kingdom, you don't know the strength of the Dragon Kingdom."

Li Ke was too lazy to talk nonsense, and waved his hand: "Go back and tell your emperor, if he wants to fight, just come, I will wait."

The envoy took a deep breath, and looked at the other envoy beside him who had been silent all this time.

The short envoy raised his head and said in a hoarse voice:
"I heard that His Majesty the Dragon Kingdom is a warrior, and I, a foreign minister, am a ninja. I really want to see the strength of His Majesty the Dragon Kingdom's warrior..."

Li Ke smiled: "It turns out that I came here this time with a conspiracy... I don't agree, so I want to kill me?"

"As a Japanese ninja, if you succeed, you will retire, and if you fail, you will die..."

As the short man said, he folded his hands together, and a ninja force emerged faintly.

Li Ke sneered, raised his hand, and a wave of internal force came out directly.
