Chapter 1,457 Invitation

When Emperor Kogi saw Orihime's frightened look, she sighed and said, "I could have predicted your expression a long time ago. You must have a lot of doubts in your heart now."

Orihime nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, Mother, tell me why? Why should I give it to Li Feng? This is simply too cheap for Li Feng."

Emperor Kogi said: "It's not convenient to talk about this on the street. Let's go back to Honglu Temple, where I will have my guard again."

Orihime nodded and said, "Okay."

Immediately, the two returned to Honglu Temple. In order to cover up others' eyes, they even bought some very expensive things.

Back at her residence, Emperor Kogi asked someone to keep an eye on her. She and Orihime were in the room, telling her about Li Feng giving her a globe and her plan to spread overseas and take away all useful talents.

once.

After Orihime heard this, her mouth opened so wide that she could fit a fist into it.

After a long while, Orihime came back to her senses and asked: "Mother, are what you said true?

The place we are in is round, not square."

"Whether it is true or not, you will know soon. I have already sent people to sea to go to another continent, but with our ships, a round trip will take a year or even two years.

And we must reach our destination before Datang goes to sea." Emperor Huangji said.

"Mother, actually I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried that Li Feng lied to us. If I had been there at the time, I would have been able to tell the truth from the other person's eyes," Orihime said in annoyance.

Emperor Kogi smiled and said: "Silly boy, you have done a lot for Fuso. Now that you are getting married, I also need to give you a big gift.

I will ask Li Shimin for twenty years to relocate the people, and after twenty years, I will hand over the other half of Fusang to the Tang Dynasty."

"What?"

Orihime was once again shocked. Emperor Kogi's decision was really shocking.

"No, mother, this is absolutely impossible. If we hand over half of Fuso's country to others, our ancestors will scold us and make fun of the kings of other countries.

If the people of Fuso find out, they might cause riots." Orihime tried her best to dissuade her.

"I know what you said will happen, but we have to do it.

The Prime Minister and I have analyzed that if we don't surrender, the Tang Dynasty will attack Fusang in at least ten years, and we will be unable to recover at that time.

What we need now is time. To put it bluntly, even if you steal the technology of muskets and artillery, we don't have time to make them.

Moreover, if the news about our manufacturing of artillery and guns leaks out, I am 100% sure that Datang will never sit idly by.

Better, let us stop manufacturing, worse, just send troops to attack us.

What choice do you think Datang will make?" Emperor Huangji asked.

Orihime bit her lip, knowing that Datang would make various choices without even thinking about it.

She said unwillingly: "Mother, can we give up the remaining half of the country so easily? I am very unwilling to do so."

Emperor Kogi smiled and said: "Li Feng has already compensated us. His intention in giving us the globe was to let us find another place to be our country.

And the reason why he did that was because you, because you are married to Li Derjian, are considered his relatives.

In other words, Li Feng did this for Li Derjian's sake."

Orihime sneered and said: "I think he is so generous because he wants us to charge for the Tang Dynasty."

"It is also possible, but this is our only chance. What's more, the sea is so big, he may not know where we are. By the time they find us, we may be strong enough.

Even if she can't completely compete with Datang, she can at least bite off a piece of meat from Datang." Emperor Huangji said through gritted teeth, as if she could bite off a piece of meat from Datang right now.

"Mother, I understand. But it is best to discuss this matter with Li Feng and not make it public, otherwise it will have a bad impact on the royal family." Orihime said.

"I will. I will find Li Feng before I go back."

"good."

Then the two began to plan for the future. The two were full of longing for the future. They believed that as long as the Tang Dynasty did not discover them and gave them twenty years, they could catch up with the power of the Tang Dynasty.

I don't know how long it took, but a Tibetan guard came to invite Emperor Huangji to have a talk.

Emperor Kogi and Orihime were both confused. They glanced at each other and saw the same question in each other's eyes. What does Songtsen Gampo want to do?

"Mother, please rest assured. No matter what Tibet wants to do, we don't need to be afraid. This is Chang'an. As long as they dare to say harsh words to you or do harm to you, no matter who the other party is, I will not make it easy for them."

Ji said angrily.

Emperor Huangji smiled happily and said: "I am very happy that you can say that. I will talk about this matter after I talk to Songtsen Gampo.

You should go back first, maybe Li Derjian has returned home."

"good."

After Orihime left for the meeting, Emperor Kogi went to keep the appointment.

But she didn't expect that Songtsen Gampo was not the only one to make appointments with her, but there were also many kings, including Gao Jianwu of Goguryeo, King Gaochang of the Western Regions, King Nanzhao, Xue Yantuo Mohe Khan, etc.

When Songtsen Gampo saw Empress Huangji, he immediately stepped forward to greet her and said: "Emperor Fuso, you are finally here. We can talk about business."

Emperor Koji frowned slightly and asked: "Business, I wonder what it is? Do you need so many kings to come together?"

Songtsen Gampo's face darkened and he said: "Since Emperor Fuso asked straight to the point, I will tell the truth.

Today's gathering was organized by Ben Zanpu, Prince Gao Jianwu of Goguryeo, and Mohe Khan of Xue Yantuo.

There are three purposes. The first is to cooperate with each other among our countries. You can also feel that these countries are unwilling to submit to the Tang Dynasty.

Because our country is relatively powerful, it can be said that we are on par with the Tang Dynasty, even stronger than weak, and even the worst ones are capable of fighting.

But now everyone has been stepped on by the Tang Dynasty, so we have to succumb to Li Shimin's feet.

So the first purpose is to cooperate with each other and let us unite, not only in military affairs, but also in business and even land.

The King of Gaochang in the Western Regions is some distance away from me, Tubo. I am willing to send troops to advance towards Gaochang. The King of Gaochang can also send troops to advance towards Tubo. Finally, the generals will gather together and let us unite to suppress the Tang Dynasty."

Emperor Huangji immediately interrupted: "The goal you mentioned, Tubo Zampu, is very good. Let's not talk about whether the dispatch of the army will alarm the Tang Dynasty. Just say that I am Fusang. I am surrounded by the sea and there is no country at all. So what?

Unite with your country.

You are trying to push Fusang out and let Datang target me."

Gao Jianwu stood up and said: "Emperor Fuso, don't be angry. We have already thought about this. As long as Emperor Fuso agrees, you can send troops to attack Baekje and Silla.

I, Goguryeo, will also send troops to attack Baekje and Silla. Since both of their countries succumbed to the despotic power of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo will be regarded as their enemy.

Emperor Fuso, as long as our kings here unite, even if the Tang Dynasty becomes stronger and we all send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will be in trouble, and will eventually be eaten by us bite by bite."

Emperor Huangji's eyes widened for a moment, and he began to compare in his mind. Finally he asked: "Prince Gao Jianwu, you will inherit Goguryeo in the future. Are you sure that what you say is true?"

Goguryeo said: "Emperor Fuso, please rest assured. A gentleman's words are hard to follow. What's more, you and I are not the only ones here, but there are also various kings.

They can all bear witness to me.”

Prince Mohe of Xue Yantuo was the first to say: "Yes, I, Khan Mohe, am willing to testify for Prince Gao Jianwu of Goguryeo."

"There is also this king." King Gaochang said.

Although King Gaochang was a small country in the Western Regions, due to its geographical location, his country was small, but it was very powerful and could be regarded as the dominant country in the Western Regions.

But for such a dominant figure in the Western Regions, he has always been like a lapdog in the face of the Han Dynasty. He has to do whatever the Han court asks him to do.

King Gaochang had had enough of this kind of life and decided to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and the Han people.

King Nanzhao also stood up and said: "I also testify for Prince Gao Jianwu of Goguryeo."

"And I, the king, can also testify."

"And this king..."

"..."

Immediately afterwards, all the kings present expressed their willingness to testify for Gao Jianwu. This scene made Emperor Kogi feel a little at a loss.

"Okay, I believe what Prince Gao said, so I would like to ask Tubo Zanpu, what are the next two purposes?"

Songtsen Gampo said: "The first goal is to unite with each other again, and the second goal is not to buy Datang's muskets. Even if you want to buy them, you have to buy the latest muskets.

We already know that Datang has already produced the latest muskets, but it sold us outdated muskets.

The power of the new muskets is countless times more powerful than the muskets. If we buy the old muskets, we will only waste money and make the Tang Dynasty become more powerful."

Emperor Kogi was shocked. He had just told Orihime about this matter and felt that it was not feasible. He did not expect that Songtsen Gampo would also bring it up.

But this decision has been rejected by their mother and daughter.

So Emperor Kogi spoke again: "Tubo Zampu, we don't have to buy those old-style muskets, but other countries will buy them.

When the time comes, we will face neighboring countries with muskets. How will we fight against them? If we rely on manpower, we in Fuso don’t have many troops anymore, so we cannot lack these muskets.”

Songtsen Gampo nodded and said: "Ben Zampu knows Emperor Fuso's concerns. To be honest, I have bribed the transport officer who escorted the muskets. The time and place of the transaction will be clear by then.

Emperor Fuso, do you know what the use of this is?"
