After landing in Japan, the first thing Li Qinzai decided to do was to go to Asuka City immediately.
The Tang army with firearms in hand was basically invincible in the land of Japan. Li Qinzai didn't care how chaotic the current situation in Japan was or how the warlords separated themselves.
What he wants is to hold the leader of Japan in his hands and protect him like Youlemei.
No matter how chaotic the local separatist forces are, the leader of the Japanese country is still orthodox. He has invincible military force and holds the orthodox leader hostage. This is the Japanese version of holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
If the princes are not convinced, the army will crush them.
Outside Asuka City, Li Qinzai ordered the entire army to camp, and he, accompanied by Liu Renyuan and Fujiwara Yuno, walked towards the city.
The city defense was in the hands of the Tang army, and Li Qinzai was not worried about safety at all. Liu Renyuan strode in front, and saw the flags on the top of the city fluttering, and thousands of soldiers saluting Li Qinzai with their sabers.
Li Qinzai and Fujiwara Yuno walked behind. Fujiwara Yuno looked a little disappointed.
Last time at Qiongpu Guanyi, he carefully selected eight beautiful women to present to Li Qinzai, but they were ruthlessly driven away by Kono Sanliang.
Offering beautiful women as gifts was not uncommon in either the Tang Dynasty or the Japanese Empire. Strictly speaking, it was considered an elegant matter.
Later, I heard reports from the eight beauties that Li Qinzai actually did not reject them, and even took the initiative to let them take a bath, even taking off their pants.
Later, Kono Sanliang broke in and revealed his identity as the eldest daughter of the Japanese emperor. The beauties were of low status, so of course they did not dare to offend them, so they had to run away quickly.
This made Fujiwara Yuno very troubled.
Neither the giver nor the recipient have any objections, why would you, the eldest daughter of the emperor, come out to join in the fun? Besides, these eight beauties are not a personal gift from Fujiwara Yuno, they are given on behalf of the eldest brother of the leader of the Japanese country.
Why did Li Qinzai send a beautiful woman to Li Qinzai? Of course, the leader of the Japanese country was worried that after Li Xianggong from the Tang Dynasty landed in the Japanese country, he would not be able to eat or sleep well and would not get a good sleep. How could he train the Japanese country with passion?
Of course, what is more important is whether the Japanese royal family and subjects can be loosened under the high pressure of the Tang army. Li Qinzai is the only key figure. For such a key figure who has just arrived, is it too much to give away a few beauties?
It's not too much at all. If County Duke Li doesn't mind it, the eldest brother will be willing to recommend himself to serve as a pillow for you to choose from.
Therefore, sending those eight beauties had actually risen to the level of a state matter. Everything was going smoothly at first, but was inexplicably disrupted by Sanryo Kono.
I don’t know whether Mr. Li County Duke has slept well these days, but Fujiwara Yuno is worried to death.
Following Li Qinzai's steps into the city, Fujiwara Yuno slyly fell a shoulder behind Li Qinzai, walking sideways behind Li Qinzai and whispered: "Mr. Li, please forgive me for offending you a few days ago. Those eight beautiful women are still here.
Here, I swear that I have never touched them, and I am just waiting for County Duke Li to favor him..."
Li Qinzai was startled, then smiled and said: "I asked you to worry about it, but some of them are too young, and some are only twelve or thirteen years old. They are really committing crimes. You are not afraid of being struck by thunder..."
Fujiwara Yuno's eyes lit up and he immediately had an epiphany.
It turns out that Mr. Li County Duke doesn’t like young people, I understand!
Indeed, a woman who is too young has no breasts and no butt, and holding her in her arms is like holding a dry and thin piece of firewood. She is not as full of charm and charm as an adult woman.
After thinking that he understood Mr. Li's taste, Fujiwara Yuno immediately began to reflect on himself.
It was really rude. Before knowing Mr. Li’s preferences, he rashly sent a woman he didn’t like. This simply destroyed and ruined the reputation of Japan’s service industry.
Fujiwara Yuno immediately bowed to Li Qinzai in shame: "A dead horse! I know I made a mistake, and I will correct it. Please give me another chance!"
Li Qinzai was stunned: "What chance?"
Fujiwara Yuno said regretfully: "Please give me a chance to change my ways! I will make a good choice this time, and I will satisfy Mr. Li County!"
Li Qinzai was stunned, and it took him a long time to realize that he was going to continue sending beautiful women unyieldingly.
"No need, keep it for yourself." Li Qinzai refused.
He is not an upright gentleman or a germaphobe. In terms of morality, he is really not a germaphobe.
The main reason is that the so-called beauties of Japan seem to be a little deformed. I don’t know whether it is a racial problem or incomplete evolution. The eight beauties presented by Fujiwara Yuno are generally short in stature. At first glance, they look like they have entered Lilliput.
Li Qinzai really has no interest in brushing eight dwarfs.
In comparison, Kono Sanliang is actually very well developed, and her height is not bad either. She is basically at the middle level of a Tang Dynasty woman, and her appearance is in line with Li Qinzai's aesthetics.
With Tono Sanliang by his side, how could Li Qinzai appreciate the beauty sent by Fujiwara Yuno.
…………
When everyone entered Asuka City, Li Qinzai slowed down and carefully observed the prosperity of the Japanese capital.
A country's strength largely depends on its economic development, and how to quickly understand its economic situation can be basically understood by just walking around the streets of the capital.
Li Qinzai observed carefully for a long time and found that this so-called capital was actually very barren, with only four main roads crisscrossing the city.
Like the Tang Dynasty, there were two cities, the East and the West, but the two cities looked deserted, and the shops on the street were deserted. The shopkeepers in the shops sat lazily inside and yawned.
Looking at the circulation of goods in the two cities, it is also very sparse. There are basically no caravans or large trucks carrying goods on the streets.
After walking around, Li Qinzai had a clear idea.
Since the Japanese state was destroyed by the Tang army, not only was the Japanese state's political and military affairs controlled by the Tang army, but its economy was also severely hit and was unable to recover.
Seeing that they were not living well, Li Qinzai felt relieved. This is what the Japanese country should be like.
The visible gap between the rich and the poor in the capital city is very serious. There are many magnificent mansions located in the east of the capital city, several of which are particularly luxurious. They are the palace of the king of Japan and the residences of the powerful ministers who surround the palace.
On the other side of the main road, there are a large number of short houses as small as pigeon cages. They look dilapidated and dirty. The Japanese people walking on the street have sallow faces and thin skin, and some are even half-clothed. They look at Li Qinzai and others with numb eyes.
People pass by.
After walking for a long time, Li Qinzai almost understood what he needed to know, so he mounted his horse and everyone headed towards the palace.
The huge palace gate of Asuka City Palace was wide open today. On the first floor of the palace gate, the eldest brother, the leader of the Japanese kingdom, and a group of Japanese ministers stood quietly inside.
Next to them, there were Tang troops holding halberds. Yes, the royal guards of the palace had already been taken over by Tang troops. This was also the reason why the eldest brother and his ministers failed to go out of the city to welcome Li Qinzai after he arrived in the capital.
As early as before leaving the Japanese country that year, Li Qinzai ordered the Tang army stationed there to closely monitor the words and deeds of the king and his ministers, especially the king, who was not allowed to leave the palace.
After Liu Renyuan took office later, he perfectly implemented this strict order of Li Qinzai. The leader of the Japanese Kingdom and the royal family have not left the palace for several years.
