Chapter 305

"What's going on?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

Not caring about the envoy of the Japanese country who was being escorted behind him, Luo Yan explained: "A few days ago, when I was wandering around the East Market, I saw this Japanese slave carrying several boxes to a shop that traded gold and silver wares. The ministers of the former Japanese court paid attention to the behavior of the envoys from the previous dynasty, and after he left, he went inside and questioned him."

It was like telling a story, telling the whole story about discovering that these little ghosts sold the money, gold and silver rewarded by Li Shimin, and then spent a lot of money to collect books. Finally, Luo Yan concluded: "I know the truth of catching thieves and stealing goods." , so this morning I specially invited the guards of the guards to help me catch him. This kind of barbarian who disrespects the emperor and ignores the holy will, if you don’t teach him a little lesson, how will you know the majesty of my Great Tang etiquette.”

To be honest, Li Shimin was pissed off.

Originally, he wanted to humiliate this group of little devils with a lot of rewards, but who would have thought that this would be the end result.It is impossible to say that he is not angry.

"Inugami Mita, what else do you have to say?" Li Shimin asked through gritted teeth, and Li Shimin stared at the little devil's eyes, wishing to burst into flames.

Anyway, everyone underestimated the little devil's face.When Inugami Mita knew about this matter, Luo Yanzai investigated it thoroughly. Naturally, it was impossible to deny it.But relying on the status of an envoy, it is still very easy to get rid of the crime.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this is the will of my Emperor Shuming before I came here. I admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty in the Land of the Rising Sun, so I want to bring more books when I go back, so that I can spread the etiquette of the Middle Earth to the world earlier. The place where the sun rises. However, I brought very little money here, so I made this bad plan." Inugami Mita wanted to use his own emperor's name to let Li Shimin let him go.

But Luo Yan finally grasped the handle, how could he let him go so easily.

"Hey, you keep talking about the etiquette of the Central Plains. Then why don't you tell me, what kind of book did you buy? Is it my Twelve Confucian classics, or the Buddhist scriptures? Didn't you say that the barbarians entered China and came from China? ? Then why don't you say that in my land of China, you don't respect me, the emperor of China, but you keep talking about your stable household, and you treat me as a civil and military man of the Tang Dynasty. It's really hard to pinch it?" scolded Inugami Mita gave a meal, and Luo Yan became more and more angry.

"Your Majesty kindly rewarded you and other barbarians with some treasures, so that you can wait until you go back and let your emperor who is a stable household of Lao Shizi learn a lot. Fortunately, you have exchanged everything for money. Hehe, this kind of barbarian is even me. Ordinary people in Tang are inferior. Emperor? Shit!"

Luo Yan's roar echoed in the entire Tai Chi Hall at this moment.

"Okay, Luo Yan, you step back. Inuami Mita, I will hand over this matter to Dali Temple and Honglu Temple for detailed investigation. If what Luo Yan said is true, I will punish you for a big crime of disrespect." During this period, you can stay at Honglu Temple with peace of mind. If you make a rash move, you will be killed without mercy." After being completely slapped in the face by these little ghosts, who is Li Shimin, his previous patience has long been worn out.

Inugami Santian wanted to argue a few words, but the guards dragged these people out of the Tai Chi Hall without any explanation.

"Your Majesty, the things that the Japanese envoys will take away during this trip are all evidence. Please also send an order to have them taken back by Honglu Temple." Luo Yan reminded Li Shimin in due course after making up his mind not to let the little devils get any benefit.

"Okay, this matter will be done according to what you said." Li Shimin was already a little impatient about being slapped in the face by Japanese slaves five times and three times, and threw Luo Yan out without saying a word.

Although he came out in a bit of a mess, Luo Yan didn't feel unhappy at all.He really admired himself for being able to make the little devil look like this.

What the little ghosts did was simply unbearable. Anyway, they had stolen goods in their hands, and Luo Yan provided all kinds of evidence in a timely manner. In just two days, Inugami Mita and the envoys gave Li Shimin all the rewards. The whole process of selling for money and then buying books was thoroughly investigated.

The ironclad evidence is solid, and Honglu Siqing later revealed that Li Shimin, who was extremely angry, smashed a beautiful jade paperweight on his desk on the spot.

If there is resentment in the heart, the treatment will naturally be extremely severe.The three chief envoys and deputy envoys of the Wa Kingdom were all in custody, and those Wa people who were still in Honglu Temple were immediately repatriated.After this treatment, Luo Yan was so happy that he almost jumped up.I couldn't help but admire in my heart, this Li Shimin finally didn't let himself down.Sometimes it's really weird, obviously I am very powerful, why should I be so happy to be dizzy when such a small country says a few good things.

However, Luo Yan was really happy too early.

On the second day after the Japanese envoy was detained, the wind direction suddenly changed.Some of the courtiers who were clapping their hands and applauding, no longer expressed their attitude on this matter.Gradually, some people began to intercede for these Japanese slaves.

In the early morning of this day, Dali Temple asked Li Shimin again about how to deal with the detained Japanese envoys.

When Li Shimin was hesitating, a fourth-rank official suddenly stood up from the line of civil servants, bowed to Li Shimin, and then said convincingly: "After all, it is the first time that the Wa Kingdom and our Tang Dynasty established diplomatic relations. If we target envoys like this, I'm afraid it will offend other foreign countries." Don’t dare to send envoys here. It’s better to just let him go and make a good thing happen.”

Another person came out to respond and said: "The dog Shang San Tianxuan sold the reward, after all, it was to buy books. From this point of view, it is understandable. If your majesty let him go back and gave him a new reward, I think he would be a scholar." A good story in the woods."

When the two said this, many rotten scholars immediately came forward to support them.This one lie, that one good talk, what these brats did is justified. On the contrary, Luo Yan, who arrested them, was wrong, and Li Shimin was also wrong.

After these people buzzed like flies for a long time, Luo Yan finally had a chance to interject.

"Your Majesty, at this time, it is better to listen to the minister tell a story."

Li Shimin was having a headache, and when he saw Luo Yan coming out to show off, he said angrily: "If you have something to say directly, why bother to make detours."

I bowed to Li Shimin: "My minister once heard that there was a bookstore in Chang'an. One day, a scholar came and kept books under his arm. He left the bookstore without paying. The shopkeeper noticed it and stopped him. The man said:' Can a scholar’s ​​business be regarded as stealing? This is stealing books’. Sometimes a passer-by persuaded the shopkeeper: “You let him live and give this book to him. Isn’t it a good story in Shilin.” The shopkeeper listened. I thought it made sense, so I went in order. In less than three months, more and more gentlemen were stealing books, and finally this bookstore was closed down."

Many generals burst out laughing, obviously they were mocking the words of those officials just now.

But if you think that Luo Yan is finished here, you are very wrong.

"More and more book-stealing gentlemen, seeing that this shop is closed, put their ideas to another bookstore. As a result, the first person who tried was beaten out, and the shop assistant scolded: 'Stealing is stealing. , do you think to put it another way, you don’t need to pay.’”

In an instant, the hall burst into laughter.Li Shimin was a little headache from these courtiers just now, but now he was amused by Luo Yan's joke.

However, this is not the end.Seeing that everyone had finished laughing, Luo Yan added: "By the way, if I remember correctly, the shopkeeper of the second store is a close relative of the one who made a good story earlier."

This is Chi Guoguo's slap in the face, not to mention the official "you you you" pointing at Luo Yan and stammering, even the other officials who echoed this remark were a little bit embarrassed.

Smiling, when he saw that he had blocked these rotten scholars, Luo Yan said: "Selling the sacrificial utensils rewarded by His Majesty, no matter what they are used for, is against the laws of my Tang Dynasty. Yes. If everyone wants to show respect, wouldn't they all be acquitted in so many lawsuits in the Tang Dynasty every year? Some people really don't take the money from the treasury as money. Another batch of money will be rewarded, thanks to what you said. The people of the Tang Dynasty step on the loess with their feet back against the blue sky, and the taxes they exchanged for their sweat are just for you to waste like this?"

Although Luo Yan was only a fifth-rank official at this time, he didn't spare any sympathy when he reprimanded a group of third- and fourth-rank officials.

God knows who gave them the courage to say such a bad idea.

"If that's the case, then tell me, how should these Japanese slaves be dealt with?" He was having a headache about this matter, and Luo Yan's appearance was naturally targeted by Li Shimin.

Since he dared to speak out, Luo Yan naturally had an idea in his heart. "Your Majesty wrote a letter in hand. In the letter, he severely reprimanded this stable household for his disrespect, and at the same time refused to send Tang envoys. This Japanese country and our Tang Dynasty are simply tasteless. What's the use of it. The dog, Mita, and others, followed The crime of disrespect will be dealt with. Afterwards, the Zhongshu Ministry will send a note to all parties, explaining the matter in detail, and using this to warn the people of their country not to make mistakes when they come to our Tang Dynasty. It is necessary to know that the way to govern is to give kindness and power."

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin still said: "You also said that this matter is a bit too harsh. Let it go for a while, and we will deal with this matter after we all calm down the anger in our hearts. However, the Ministry of Education still has to follow the As Luo Yan said, take note of all the others."

The controversy was put on hold. Originally, Luo Yan thought that because of his appearance, the matter of sending Tang envoys became false.

Who knows, a few days later, Inugamisanta still sent two deputy envoys on their way back to Japan.Although all the purchased books and the like were confiscated, Li Shimin still made up ten pieces of gold and silverware for him.

Luo Yan made many inquiries and found out that after Li Shimin returned to the palace, Wei Wang Li Tai interceded for the Japanese slaves in front of Li Shimin, saying that he would not lose his dignity as a great country.Li Shimin was overjoyed, he actually listened to a child and let the group of little devils go.

Thinking about the culture of the later generations of Huaxia who changed their names and surnames as their own, Luo Yan couldn't help roaring: "Caotamad.

 Thank you An Jing and others, the wise man does not use the book collection box, Xiyuan Youruo, and Shan Qingying for the rewards, and thank you Xuanyuanyong, I love my sister and my brother for the monthly pass.Although the exemption is over, please don't be disgusted and continue to support Xiaodao.In addition, the last sentence is also Xiaodao's warm greetings to those trolls in the book review area who often insult their families.
