Chapter 2614 Such ulterior motives! Even Ze wanted to be robbed by the sun?
Lu Siqing looked at the contents of the edict and looked at Li Ke again in shock.
Isn't this too pretentious? Your Majesty the Prince, wouldn't it be nice for you to be the Governor?
He actually jumped onto my official territory and became a young minister and was also responsible for practical matters. Isn't this nonsense?
Seeing the complex and disgusting expression on the other party's face, Li Ke suddenly cleared his throat unhappily.
"Why, does Lu Siqing think there is anything wrong with His Majesty's decree?"
"This, how is this possible? Since the founding of our country, there has never been a precedent like this."
"Precedents are designed to be broken." Cheng Sanlang, who had been looking around with the old god beside him, suddenly interrupted.
"..." Lu Siqing has an extremely painful tooth. This always makes sense, but coming from the mouth of a notorious monster like you, it always makes people feel very dangerous.
"That little Taibao Cheng, do you also want to serve in our Honglu Temple?"
"That's not true, but His Highness King Wu is a close friend of mine. He is going to join the Honglu Temple. As a close friend, I naturally want to come over and check things out for him."
Lu Siqing was speechless and did not want to continue to collude with Cheng Sanji, so he simply handed the Japanese tribute gift list that he had been holding in his hand to Li Ke's hand.
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, I'll leave this matter to His Highness King Wu. I have other important matters, so I'll take my leave."
Seeing the other party twisting his butt and walking away so quickly, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but say hello.
"Hey, stay, stay, Lu Siqing..."
However, when he heard Cheng Sanlang's greeting, Lu Siqing not only failed to slow down his steps, but instead walked faster and faster, as if he was afraid of getting into some bad luck.
Cheng Chubi shook his head with disgust, and took another look at the room previously designated by the officials of Honglu Temple.
"...Is there something wrong with Lu Siqing? This is obviously his public house, why is he running like a thief who has done bad things?"
At this moment, Cheng Chubi saw an old man with gray hair sitting on his knees in the house with a confused expression.
"Who is this guy?"
"The country of Japan is envoy Jishi Xiongmaru." Li Ke finally raised his eyes from the tribute gift list and credentials entrusted to him by Nalu Temple Minister.
"The official envoy of Japan?" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel happy. Oops, he didn't expect that Li Ke would meet the rightful leader he was looking for just after he took office.
#####
The next moment, in the public house assigned to Wu King Li Ke in Honglu Temple, Jishi Xiongmaru had to salute again, and then used his standard Guanzhong accent to flatter a bunch of people.
Li Ke smiled and nodded slightly towards Yoshishi Yumaro, and asked in a pleasant tone.
"The Tang dialect is very good. Are you an envoy to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Going back to Your Highness, I am not an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, but I have always admired the Celestial Dynasty. I have studied the classics of the Celestial Dynasty since I was a child, and I have also learned the elegant language of the Celestial Dynasty from the envoys to the Tang Dynasty who returned to China for many years."
"In the past, the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to the lower country, and when the Tang envoys returned to the country, it was the lower ministers who accompanied the envoys and sent the Tang envoys back."
"Not bad, not bad, he seems to be a China expert." Suddenly, Li Ke heard a sentence coming from beside him.
Turning around, he saw Brother Chu Bi who had already read the credentials with a sly smile on his face.
He looked at the Japanese envoy who had been chatty before but seemed a little confused now.
"In this letter of credence, you ask me, the Tang Dynasty, to allow your Japanese country to change its name to Japan, just because of the place where your Japanese country came from recently, right?"
"That's right." Yumaro Yoshishi replied with great caution and humility.
Ever since he found out that the person responsible for receiving him was the King of Wu, Li Ke, who came to Honglu Temple to serve as Shaoqing, Yoshihiro Yumaru became very energetic.
Then, Li Ke saw Brother Chu Bi's eyes widening suddenly and his big palm raised. Li Ke subconsciously hugged his head and bent down.
There was a crisp sound and a crash, and the not-so-hard desk in front of Li Ke was slapped so hard that it cracked and collapsed crookedly.
"..." Yoshihiro Yumaro and Li Ke both bulged their eyes, looking at the table with shock and fear on their faces, and then at this person who just slapped the table after saying something inappropriate.
Bad Cheng Sanlang.
Jishi Yumaro's anus tightened, the grass was cold, too cold. If this slap fell on his head, would his head still be on his neck?
Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi with a confused look on his face, and saw the other man smiling apologetically at him.
He rubbed his big hand that was super powerful at destroying skin and sneered at Yuomaro Yoshiki.
"The small country of Erbang is so arrogant. In your eyes, do you still think of me as the great country of the Tang Dynasty?!"
Hearing this angry rebuke, Li Ke blinked in confusion, feeling like a tool squatting here.
All of a sudden, I fell into the rhythm of Brother Chu Bi who had a brilliant mind.
Cheng Sanlang's words, as well as the collapsed case, made Yoshishi Yumaro immediately seek help from Li Ke, the man in charge.
"Why do you, Lord, say such things? How can you, the lower country, not take the heavenly country into consideration?"
"Please also ask Your Highness to make the decision for your ministers and your country."
"Well, why did Brother Chu Bi say this?" Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi with a confused look on his face. He really didn't feel what Brother Chu Bi said.
Brother Chu Bi smiled with great confidence, spread out the credentials on the crooked desk, and poked at it with his finger.
"Your Highness, just based on this credentials, look here..."
"There's nothing wrong with what's written here, right? This is where Xia Bang came from recently, so I would like to ask the Emperor of the State to allow me, Xia Bang, to change the country's name to Japan..."
"Your Highness, you can't say that. We, the Tang Dynasty, are located in the center of the world, and the sun and the moon have to circle around the ten thousand miles of our territory."
"Their little Japanese country actually wants to change its name to Japan, haha... That means clearly that the sun is their home."
"???" Looking at the tall, burly and exaggerated Cheng Saburo, and listening to his words, Yoshishi Yuumaro's whole body went numb. Amaterasu, do we mean this?
As Chu Bi's brother who has worn the same pair of pants for many years, Li Ke will subconsciously coordinate Chu Bi's expressions and words in a subtle way.
For example, now, Li Ke nodded with a look of confusion on his face and said thoughtfully.
"Brother Chu Bi, eh... when you say that, it seems that you really mean it."
"Japan, the sun is our country. It turns out that you Japanese people have such ulterior motives! Do you want to rob even the sun of the common people?"
Seeing the sudden change in expression, His Highness King Wu pointed his finger at him like a sword.
Yuomaro Yoshishi felt as if he was squatting in the ice field. Not only was the grass cold, but his heart was also freezing.
"No, no, no, Your Highness, our country definitely has no intention of doing this. Please give your Highness a clear warning."
"Ha, really? I want to ask you, does your Japanese country worship Amaterasu as the founder of your Japanese country?"
