Chapter 940: Not Obsessed with the Emperor
After taking a bath, Abe no Nakamaro and the other two felt dizzy. It was probably because the water was too hot and the space was too small, and they had symptoms of hypoxia.
Takagi Junichiro looked at the three people and understood. If he hadn't been watching the Li family manor coming step by step.
He wouldn't have believed it if he had heard these things directly.
Today's Jingzhao Prefecture is completely different from the Jingzhao Prefecture three years ago. It can be said that it has changed dramatically.
And how it changed, I know every step by myself. At first, I just thought it was good.
When things and events accumulated together, I found that Jingzhao Prefecture moved because of a manor and a person.
More and more people came to Jingzhao Prefecture, but they could all find jobs.
From inside and outside Chang'an City, you can always see beggars of all ages, old, weak, sick and disabled, but now no one has begged for food.
"It would be great if Li Yi was a minister of our country." Shimomichi Maki forced himself to believe Takagi Junichiro and sighed.
"Other envoys think so too. Tubo and Turks want to kill Li Yi as soon as possible." Takagi Junichiro understood again.
Which envoy doesn't want to capture Li Yi alive? If he is captured, his tribe will be able to dominate the world.
"Can he be sent to our country?" Fujiwara no Mayang actually thought about it.
"Li Yi usually does not leave the manor, and outsiders cannot enter. The result of the more than 500 people you brought to force the Li family manor is that they all died after crossing the bridge.
Li family manor is heavily stationed all year round, and there are soldiers around. When they rushed to the bridge, they were blocked on the bridge. They would still die if they jumped into the water."
Takagi Junichiro smiled and talked about the defense of Li family manor.
Instead of forcing the Li family manor, it is better to fight for Xingqing Palace. Maybe a few people can rush in. If you are lucky, you can see the emperor of the Tang Dynasty before you die.
"He never comes out?" Abe no Nakamaro was just curious and didn't plan to catch him.
"When he comes out, he is surrounded by guards. Sometimes he sneaks out. When you know the news, he has gone back." Takagi Junichiro shook his head.
"What if we lure him out?" Xia Dao Zhenbei was thinking about this matter.
"He didn't come out, and Tubo wanted him to come out, but he refused no matter what he said."
"Cowardly? Poor fighting ability? That's a weakness." Fujiwara no Mayang gave his own thoughts.
"Cowardly? He killed many Turkic people himself. When he knew that Khitan sent an army, he went up the mountain and captured them all alive.
He can fly, and he has a gun that can shoot three hundred feet away.
I have heard the noise when he flew, and I have seen the holes in the wall hit by a kind of bullet."
"If that's the case, why doesn't he become the emperor? Can he use the strategy of alienation?" Xiadao Zhenbei came up with another plan.
"Haha! Dissociation? Whenever something good comes out of the Li family farm, it must be in the name of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to kill him, how convenient is it to ask the Yulin Flying Cavalry to do it directly in the farm?
I heard that Queen Wang's son was born after taking the medicine given by Li Yi.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was short of money, and Li Yi helped him make money.
Salt wells in Shu, heaven on earth, bathing, gold mines, helping the emperor train soldiers.
Which of you would kill him if you were the emperor? Or would you exile him to a distant place?"
Takagi Junichiro said as he came to the dressing room and began to put on new clothes, so that the evening banquet would be more decent.
The three people followed suit and put on their clothes. Fujiwara Mayang put on the boxer briefs he had seen for the first time: "Why doesn't Li Yi become the emperor?"
"Why don't you become the emperor?" Takagi Junichiro asked back.
"I... I am loyal." Fujiwara Mayang didn't dare to say the wrong thing.
What he really thought was that if I had Li Yi's ability, I would have rebelled long ago.
"Li Yi is the same." Takagi Junichiro said in a follow-up manner.
"What benefits did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty give him to make him so loyal?" Fujiwara no Mayang could not put himself in his shoes.
"He said he wanted to do something, and the court listened to him. He wanted to mobilize the Yulin Flying Cavalry, and the Yulin Flying Cavalry listened to him."
Takagi Junichiro gave two examples. The Yulin Flying Cavalry was the private army of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yi could mobilize it.
When the four people were talking, they were almost dressed.
Abe no Nakamaro tied his belt: "Spread it out, saying that Li Yi can mobilize your majesty's private army and has the ambition to seize power, what will happen?"
"The people don't believe it. The people have long known that Li Yi can instruct the Yulin Flying Cavalry to do things.
There are also the Sixteen Guards, which Li Yi can also arrange. The people say that the king is a saint and the ministers are virtuous, and that Li Yi will rebel, but the people don't believe it."
Takagi Junichiro put on his clothes and stood there to say something to attack his colleagues.
"Doesn't it mean that Li Yi has thought about all the possible problems in advance?" Abe no Nakamaro also dressed carefully.
The four people walked out, and the team members came out one after another, and they were very interested in this bathtub with inlaid tiles.
No need to find a hot spring, no need to use a big wooden barrel.
Soap is also good, plus skin care products, comfortable.
The dinner was held in Hanyuan Hall, in the imperial city, not Xingqing Palace.
Civil and military officials gathered, not going home for dinner today, send someone to tell.
There are many stir-fried dishes in the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese envoys have seen them when they came here, and they are all copied from other places.
Like Luoyang, there are many dishes learned.
The Japanese envoys prepared a good meal, and after entering, both sides followed the procedure and followed a routine.
Japan presented tribute, Li Longji issued rewards, and when they sat down, the Japanese envoys found that the situation was different from what they imagined.
Each person had a small table, a high chair, and then there were dozens of stir-fried dishes, each with only a small plate.
Is the plate too small? Is it enough to hold a sip of water?
There was a charcoal pot on the table, with jujubes, wolfberries, ginger slices, and star anise boiling in it. There was oil on it, and it smelled like chicken soup.
The maid brought the dish, a piece of mutton was placed on a rectangular plate.
Put a few chrysanthemums on a small plate, and a slice of cabbage on a small plate...
This...
Li Longji spoke from above: "One bowl of porridge and one meal should be thought of as not easy to come by; half a thread and half a piece of cloth should always remember the difficulty of material resources.
You and I, eat as much as you want. We throw away a bowl of rice at every meal, do you know if there are people who starve to death without food?"
"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers stood up tacitly and saluted at the same time.
The Japanese envoys stood up quickly and saluted together.
The Japanese envoys suddenly found that the Tang Dynasty was different. I heard that the last time the people came, the table was full.
Now it has become a small plate, and after eating one, another one will be served.
Of course, there are indeed many styles of dishes, dozens of them.
The ministers in the court have long been accustomed to the meals given by His Majesty every day, and they don't have to bring their own food or go out to buy it.
The only requirement is that there is no leftovers, and you can take as much as you eat, just like the canteen of Lijiazhuangzi.
Winter watermelons, expensive kelp, and live clams are expensive, so your Majesty will give them.
Then, if there is any leftover cabbage, which is cheap, your salary will be deducted, and the deducted money is enough to buy several carts of cabbage.
It doesn’t matter how expensive your food is, but it limits your waste.
Everyone sat down again, and some ministers told the palace maids to remove some plates with dishes, because they didn’t want to eat them, but they were afraid that they couldn’t finish them.
Not a single chopstick was touched, and the dishes removed could be eaten by the palace maids and eunuchs.
The Japanese envoys saw it and hurried to remove them, and eat them later. They took a look first to know what the dishes were.
