It's not the time to make a final decision yet, so the atmosphere is not that serious.
Qin Wenyuan picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of hot tea, picked up the teacup, shook it slightly, then took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This is my famous Dragon Well in the Tang Dynasty. The annual output is not much. Outside
It is not available for purchase and is only provided to the royal family."
"Today, I specially asked for it from Your Majesty. You may wish to have a drink and experience the uniqueness of my Datang tea."
Some envoys heard this and were dismissive.
We are about to start fighting with real swords and guns. What kind of tea should we drink?
Some envoys were lazy and ignored them.
Some envoys picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then couldn't help but praise the tea of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Wenyuan watched the reactions of the envoys with calm eyes and said calmly: "Renjie, do you know why I invited them to tea?"
Di Renjie thought for a while and said: "To express the goodwill of my hosts in Datang, so that they can't find fault with our hospitality, and at the same time, I can know their attitude towards me based on their reactions."
"clever."
Qin Wenyuan was very satisfied.
He said: "A cup of tea can't buy anyone, let alone these people in high positions, but a cup of tea can tell a lot."
"Some people are dismissive and don't even look at the tea. This means that after a while... they will definitely go against me, Datang. This kind of people will kill them if they have the chance. It is absolutely right."
"Some people are lazy and ignore me. This shows that they have no good intentions or ill intentions towards Datang. They belong to the middle faction. If necessary, they can try to win over us."
"And those who praise the tea."
Qin Wenyuan smiled: "It's just to compliment us. In fact, this tea is the most common. You can buy eight taels of tea for ten cents. It definitely doesn't taste good. It's not a Longjing at all. I don't think so."
We will use that good thing to entertain these people who may have ill intentions towards us."
"So, what they praise is not the tea, but us. This also shows that at least for now, they are biased towards us, and we can cooperate with them later."
Qin Wenyuan chuckled meaningfully: "This is just like Zhao Gao in the late Qin Dynasty calling a deer a horse. It doesn't matter whether it is a horse or not. What matters is the attitude of other people. The attitude... determines everything."
Di Renjie nodded seriously, his face full of thinking.
Xu Gou looked surprised.
Just such an ordinary cup of tea, but there are so many words in it?
Si She is between Xu Gou and Di Renjie. He knows more than Xu Gou, but he doesn't think as much as Di Renjie, so at this moment, he is the one who gains the most.
Qin Wenyuan didn't care how much Di Renjie and the other three had gained. He took advantage of his free time to give them some advice. The rest was up to them to think on their own.
He looked at the envoys again, taking in the performance of these envoys one by one and remembering them in his heart. Then he put down the tea cup with a smile and said: "In order to wait for all the envoys to arrive, in order not to delay everyone too much
Time, I have decided to open the Council of Nations today."
"Therefore, I won't say any more. Now I announce that the Council of All Nations will officially begin."
"According to the charter of the Council of Nations, we want to establish a peaceful and stable situation, stop wars, and bring peace to the world. There will be less disputes and killings, and more peace and warmth. I think this idea is very good, so everyone,
Let’s start discussing how to do it.”
After saying that, Qin Wenyuan leaned back and said no more.
It was as if he didn't want to intervene in the affairs of the Council of Nations.
And all the envoys were silent at this time.
They looked at me and I looked at you, but no one was the first to stand up and speak.
Everyone is being reserved.
Qin Wenyuan glanced at it and sneered in his heart.
They all covet the Tang Dynasty and want to gain benefits from the Tang Dynasty, but no one dares to take the lead in standing up for fear of bearing the wrath of the Tang Dynasty.
With such a coward, you still dare to covet the Tang Dynasty?
I really don’t know who gave them the courage.
Just like that, the atmosphere in the hall became a little awkward for a while.
No one spoke, no one spoke, making both of them very awkward.
Qin Wenyuan, on the other hand, drank tea slowly, saying nothing embarrassing to anyone, but not in a hurry. Anyway, anyone might be embarrassed, but he would never be embarrassed.
boom!
Just like this, half a stick of incense had passed, and suddenly the sound of banging on the table was heard, directly breaking the quiet atmosphere that made many envoys feel embarrassed and suffocated.
Everyone followed the sound and looked together, and saw that the speaker was actually an envoy from Baekje.
The envoy's name was Pu Jincheng. He had a mustache, was not tall, but had bright eyes.
Seeing everyone looking at him, his expression did not change.
"Since you haven't even suggested it yet, let me be the first one to suggest it!"
Park Jingcheng said: "I hope I can make some suggestions, and everyone will take the initiative to make suggestions in the future."
Baekje is not a powerful country, but it is not bad, and it is not particularly weak.
And because it is located on a peninsula, it is only bordered by Silla and Goryeo, and the rest is ocean. The border line that needs to be guarded is not long, but it is stable enough.
Qin Wenyuan said: "What do the Baekje envoys have to say?"
Pu Jincheng looked at Qin Wenyuan and said directly: "In my opinion, if you want to establish a peaceful and stable situation, you need the countries to have similar strength. Only based on this, can we check and balance each other and feel balanced in each other's hearts.
Peace and stability.”
Pu Jincheng paused, looked at Qin Wenyuan and said: "Why don't the Tang Dynasty take the initiative to allocate some land to small countries like us, so that our land area will be larger. In this case, we will never covet the Tang Dynasty, and peace can be guaranteed.
.”
Brush it!
As soon as Pu Jincheng finished speaking, everyone's eyes instantly fell on Qin Wenyuan.
The Turkic prince Qi Hela had a playful smile on his face, and Anthony, the envoy of the Dashi Kingdom, also looked at Qin Wenyuan with bright eyes.
Nanzhao envoy Wang Chengdao narrowed his eyes slightly, also waiting for Qin Wenyuan's reaction.
Some envoys looked gloating.
Some envoys looked nervous.
They were all waiting for Qin Wenyuan's reaction.
Because Qin Wenyuan's next reaction was tantamount to expressing Datang's attitude.
After all, Datang was strong and no one was allowed to criticize it.
Or can they really dig out a piece of meat from Datang.
Next, it depends on Qin Wenyuan’s response.
Xu Gou and Si She both looked at Qin Wenyuan nervously at this time.
Di Renjie frowned, with a look of disbelief on his face. He seemed to have never expected that an envoy from a country would say such ridiculous things and put forward such unreasonable conditions.
But when he saw other envoys, no one spoke up to rebuke him.
What does this mean?
Perhaps, they all knew in advance that this person would say such things.
Perhaps, they also had the same idea.
At this moment, Di Renjie felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He couldn't help but look at his mentor.
He just felt that his mentor was like standing in front of a wolf, tiger, and cheetah. The people in front of him were all staring at his mentor, as if the mentor would devour him if he just nodded his head.
So... what will your mentor do?
Di Renjie suddenly remembered what his mentor had said before.
"Don't forget how the land under our feet was obtained. It was not obtained by having a good temper and asking others to give charity. It was obtained by the blood of countless ancestors, so..."
"We, the descendants, must not let our ancestors down."
My mentor, I will definitely not let our ancestors down!
He firmly believes it!
The entire inn hall was eerily quiet at this time!
Everyone held their breath and looked at Qin Wenyuan, waiting for Qin Wenyuan's answer.
Baekje envoy Pu Jincheng looked at Qin Wenyuan with a half-smile, and continued: "Master Qin, hasn't your Tang Dynasty always claimed to love peace? Now is the time to prove your sincerity. I think, for the sake of peace in the world, for the sake of peace,
The world is stable, and you, the Tang Dynasty, should be willing to pay such a small price in order for the common people not to be devastated by war, right?"
Xu Gou's eyes were on fire.
He clenched the handle of the knife tightly, really wishing to cut Park Jincheng in half with one strike.
The snake's eyes were also red.
Di Renjie and Zhao Hai, the minister of Honglu Temple, also had angry faces.
If looks can kill, Park Jincheng has definitely been cut to pieces by a thousand cuts.
It's just that none of them can speak at this time, and no one can speak.
Because Qin Wenyuan is here.
Qin Wenyuan is a representative of the Tang Dynasty. They cannot speak casually, otherwise if they say a word wrong, it will cause trouble for Qin Wenyuan.
Therefore, no matter how angry they were, they could only grit their teeth and wait for Qin Wenyuan's response.
"Ah."
At this time, a gentle chuckle suddenly came from Qin Wenyuan's mouth.
Qin Wenyuan looked at Pu Jincheng calmly, the expression on his face was the same as before, and it seemed that there was no change at all because of Pu Jincheng's words.
He raised his eyes to look at Park Jincheng, with the iconic smile on his face, and said: "I think what you said makes sense. Give other countries some territory and let them expand their land area, so they won't be envious of other countries. This way,
Peace can be guaranteed, right?”
Pu Jincheng was startled.
He didn't seem to expect that Qin Wenyuan would agree with him. He had already prepared many fallacies to refute Qin Wenyuan.
Who knew that Qin Wenyuan would respond like this.
This made him stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly had a proud smile on his face. He thought that Qin Wenyuan was forced by the pressure of all the envoys and gave in to him!
This made him quickly nod with joy: "That's right! There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty, which is not to worry about scarcity but to worry about inequality. As long as everyone's land area is about the same size, naturally no one will covet it, and peace can be guaranteed.
.”
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly and smiled brighter: "I very much agree with what you said."
"so……"
He suddenly turned his eyes to the other two envoys and said slowly: "Goguryeo, Silla, I, the Tang Dynasty, think what the Baekje envoy said is very reasonable, so I, the Tang Dynasty, are willing to help you, Goguryeo and Silla, to provide you with help, help
How do you feel about destroying Baekje, then devouring Baekje’s territory, and expanding your own territory to ensure peace in the world?”
Brush it!
The eyes of all the envoys suddenly widened, and they were instantly stunned.
The Turkic prince Qihela looked at Qin Zulai in confusion, and Anthony, the envoy of the Dashi Kingdom, was also a little shocked.
Nanzhao envoy Wang Chengdao narrowed his eyes.
The envoys of Goguryeo and Silla, after being stunned for a while, suddenly burst into joy.
As for the Nanzhao envoy Pu Jincheng, after being stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned pale.
He seemed not to have expected Qin Wenyuan to say such a thing.
He originally thought that the Tang Dynasty would bow down under the force of him and others, but he never imagined that the Tang Dynasty would actually unite Goguryeo and Silla to destroy its own Baekje!
When he saw the appearance of the Goguryeo and Silla envoys, his heart suddenly sank.
He knew that Goguryeo and Silla were tempted.
After all, they are the only three countries occupying that peninsula, and they are constantly fighting against each other. Everyone wants to devour the other, but because the three countries are afraid of one party becoming dominant, they maintain a delicate balance.
But now, Qin Wenyuan's words will instantly break this balance.
If Goguryeo and Silla join forces, without the help of Tang Dynasty, Baekje will surely perish!
Thinking of this, the Baekje envoy trembled all over.
"You...you...you, you are blatantly violating the spirit of peace! You, the Tang Dynasty, actually want to provoke a war!"
Pu Jincheng said hurriedly and tremblingly.
When Qin Wenyuan heard this, he smiled softly and said lightly: "Didn't you come up with this method on your own initiative? It's just that I have changed places. Anyway, we want to expand our territory. Where can I get it from? And what's more?
Datang still helps out, doesn’t this also show our sincerity? After all, Datang does not gain any benefit from it!"
"you you……"
Pu Jincheng opened his mouth, but found that he could not refute.
This made him look ashen.
When the other envoys saw this scene, they were all a little shocked in their hearts.
Who would have thought that Qin Wenyuan, faced with the aggressive situation just now, would spend a fortune or two, directly putting Baekje in danger of annihilation!
Cruel! Really cruel!
Really strong too!
This kind of response not only shocked people's hearts, but it also won over Goguryeo and Silla!
However, Baekje, which took the lead in launching an attack on the Tang Dynasty, might be doomed!
This also immediately frightened many envoys with evil intentions. For a while, they did not dare to directly attack Datang, lest they become the next Baekje!
The atmosphere of the entire Council of Nations suddenly changed.
When Si She, Di Renjie and others saw this scene, their hearts were extremely excited, and their eyes lit up when they looked at Qin Wenyuan.
They knew that Qin Wenyuan would never let his ancestors down, and Qin Wenyuan would never let Datang lose an inch of land!
Qin Wenyuan will not allow others to treat Datang as a piece of fat!
Now that Baekje is in front, others will have to consider their abilities no matter how much they want to deal with Datang!
If these countries were in alliance before, Qin Wenyuan would not be able to deal with Baekje like this. Envoys from other countries would definitely speak for Baekje. No matter how strong the Tang Dynasty was, it could not face the pressure of more than a hundred countries at the same time.
