Chapter 1,155 Fuso’s plan

"Princess, princess," Seeing that Orihime didn't speak, Tsuruta immediately reminded him softly.

Orihime came back to her senses, cupped her hands to Li Er and said, "Reporting to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, if you persuade Lan Tianhou to abandon the four cities, the Fuso Kingdom will remember your kindness."

"It would be too easy for the four cities to remember their kindness in one sentence." Wei Zheng said.

Orihime nodded and said: "This gentleman is exactly what he said, so the Emperor is willing to compensate His Majesty the Tang Emperor and Lantian for their seats."

"Compensation?" Wei Zheng sneered, "No amount of compensation can compare to four cities. Princess Orihime, do you think what I said is right?"

Orihime smiled and said: "Yes, this gentleman is very right, but as long as His Majesty the Tang Emperor is willing to let Marquis Lantian return the four cities.

Fusang Kingdom is willing to acquire four other cities for Lantian Hou and four cities for Datang, which means a total of eight cities.

Your Majesty, Emperor Tang, Marquis Lantian, is this kind of compensation good?"

"Eight cities? This village is worth buying and selling."

"Eight cities?"

"Eight seats? Did I hear wrongly?"

"..."

All the officials in the court were talking crazily. This was really shocking.

Cui Mingan and other officials from a group of aristocratic families were also very surprised that the other party actually came out of eight cities.

Li Feng was also a little surprised. He took back three cities and gave away eight cities. This was a very loss-making deal no matter how you calculated it.

After Wei Zheng was shocked, he sneered and said: "Take back four cities and give away eight cities. Then why are you taking back four cities? Don't you think it is unnecessary?"

Li Er also said: "Princess Orihime, once you say something, you must keep it true. You must know that once you say it in the main hall, if it cannot be true, it is tantamount to deceiving the emperor.

I think you are ignorant and it is not too late to change your mind now."

Orihime replied: "Your Majesty, Emperor Tang, what I said is true. As long as Marquis Lantian is willing to return the four cities to us, we are willing to hand over four cities to His Majesty Emperor Tang and Marquis Lantian each."

"In that case." Li Er looked at Li Feng and said, "What do you think?"

Li Feng thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, may I ask a few questions?"

"Just mention it," Li Er said.

Orihime also followed up and said, "I don't know what you want to ask, Mr. Lantian?"

Li Feng nodded and said, "Princess Orihime, you keep saying that you will give me four cities and your Majesty four cities.

So, may I ask, what is the size of these eight cities, what is their population, and how is their business? The most important thing is, do these eight cities belong to you, Fuso?"

Orihime smiled and said: "The size, population, and commerce are the same as the city we gave Lan Tianhou at the beginning."

"Same? A broken fishing village?" Li Feng asked with a smile.

"Of course not." Orihime's face turned red and she immediately explained, "It's similar to Oda Ichiro's three castles."

"I see." Li Feng said, "Speaking of which, the three cities owned by Oda Ichiro were not Fuso's at that time, but belonged to Oda Ichiro."

"It can only be regarded as a city that is not part of the imperial court, but it belongs to Fuso. Just like in the Tang Dynasty, some places were occupied by people who claimed the mountain as their king. Could it be that that mountain is his?" Orihime immediately retorted.

"Bold." Changsun Wuji angrily rebuked, "The whole world is not the land of the king, let alone under your majesty's wise leadership, how could anyone dare to occupy the mountain and become the king?"

Orihime immediately said: "Lord Changsun, there is no need to deliver the goods. I am just making an analogy. Your Majesty, Emperor Tang, what do you think?"

Li Er said without thinking: "In the Tang Dynasty, no matter whether it is an inch of land or a person, it belongs to the Tang Dynasty."

Orihime nodded and said: "This is true for the Tang Dynasty, and it is also true for Fuso, so the three cities of Oda Ichiro belong to Fuso."

Li Feng nodded and said: "In that case, my four cities also belong to Fusang. Those merchants and people who took refuge in me are not taking refuge in me, but just in my four cities. Speaking of which, they are still in Fusang, and they are still Fusang people."

Li Er nodded and said: "What Li Feng said makes sense. Princess Orihime, since it all happened to you Fuso, this matter is not a big deal, and Li Feng doesn't need to return your four cities.

Unless Li Feng is willing to give the four cities to the Tang Dynasty, then the people of Fusang will seek refuge in those four cities, and the matter will become bigger for Fusang. If they come to me in this way, it is reasonable."

"Your Majesty, that's different." Orihime said, "Although it happened within Fuso territory, it is a big event for the Fuso court.

I am making an analogy. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a king of the opposite sex who was very loved by the people. Unconsciously, the people of the Tang Dynasty all went to the fiefdom of this king of the opposite sex. What would happen to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

idea?"

Li Er frowned slightly and said: "It is impossible for such a thing to happen in the Tang Dynasty."

"If, I mean if, Your Majesty, Emperor Tang, if something like this really happens, what will you do?"

Li Er said in a deep voice: "If something like this really happens, I will definitely review myself first, and then learn from that king of the opposite sex. I must do what the people want, otherwise I, as an emperor, might as well give up."

Orihime did not expect Li Er to answer like this. According to common sense, the reigning emperor would not allow such a situation to happen, and would definitely send troops to attack the opponent.

There were very few emperors who understood justice as well as Li Er. She finally understood why the Tang Dynasty was so powerful. Because with an emperor like Li Er around, it was difficult for the Tang Dynasty not to become strong.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Tang really understands the righteousness and is wise and wise. Unfortunately, even if our Emperor Fuso can understand the righteousness from His Majesty the Tang Emperor, it will be of no use. There are many aristocratic families in Fuso, and they control the government and do not allow such a thing to happen.

Now they have assembled an army of 200,000 to attack the four cities of Lantianhou. In order to avoid the destruction of Fuso, the Emperor sent me as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. I am willing to exchange eight cities for four cities, and please His Majesty the Emperor of Tang to grant it." Orihime.

explained.

Li Er looked at Li Feng and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Feng said: "Your Majesty, Princess Orihime has one more question that she has not answered yet."

Orihime didn't expect that she had deliberately changed the topic just now, and she didn't expect that the other party would still remember it.

So he could only reply: "No, the city that His Majesty the Emperor intends to give to His Majesty the Tang Emperor and Marquis Lantian is not in Fuso."

Everyone was immediately surprised and felt that it was reasonable. If they really gave away the eight cities in their own country, it would be such a loss. It would be better not to give them away.

Li Er asked: "Whose city are you planning to give to us?"

"Reporting to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, as long as the Tang Emperor agrees, His Majesty the Emperor will immediately launch an army of 200,000 to attack Silla. We will give the first city to His Majesty the Tang Emperor."
