Chapter 2802 Everyone is not happy that I will be the driver, so I will be Jing Zhaoyin
His Highness Prince Li Ke, King of Wu, currently holds the only position as Shaoqing in Honglu Temple.
Therefore, what His Highness King Wu reported today is naturally related to foreign affairs.
First, he told his father in a serious manner that the Japanese country had changed its name without the consent of its suzerain country, the Tang Dynasty.
Although everyone onlookers know clearly that the pseudo-emperor Li Zhi agreed to the Japanese petition, the credentials issued by the pseudo-emperor, as black history, will of course be erased by the writing style of Spring and Autumn Period.
As for Li Ke, the Shaoqing of Lulu Temple who was previously responsible for the affairs of the Japanese country, he was very angry and felt that the Tang Dynasty would be so provoked by a small Japanese country.
The Tang Dynasty absolutely couldn't bear it, even though his father had already driven out the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty one after another.
However, it does not mean that the matter ends like this, so Li Ke petitioned the court to allow him, the young minister of Honglu Temple, to continue to follow up on the matter.
The small Japanese nation must immediately give up its illusions, recognize the reality, correct its mistakes, and correct its attitude to apologize to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty will definitely make a powerful counterattack...
Listening to the words of Li Ke, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cheng Chubi nodded frequently.
After all, his language expression today and his speech were born out of his many years of foreign affairs guidance to Li Ke.
When Li Ke finished speaking, he saw those ministers who had been lazy one by one came out one after another, and they all felt that His Highness King Wu's approach was very meaningful.
After all, the Tang Dynasty is the sect leader of the world. If the Japanese country is acting like a fool today, the Tang Dynasty will not strictly control it.
Maybe if we look back, a group of small countries will follow suit and carry out more serious provocations to the dignity of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin stroked his long beard, nodded while listening carefully, and finally showed a happy smile.
"Ker's father is loyal to the country and shares the worries of the court. Even if he is the young minister of Honglu Temple, he can still fulfill his duties. It is a great comfort to his father..."
Li Shimin first praised Yiyong, the biological son of Yingguo Lei, and then glanced at all the important civil and military officials.
As soon as the conversation changed, it fell on the important matter of awarding Wu King Li Ke, which had never been done.
Previously, Li Ke had made great achievements in the Luoyang Revolution, so he decided to change Li Ke, His Highness the King of Wu, to the title of King of Qi.
In addition, Li Ke, the king of Qi, was appointed the governor of Qingzhou, and the governor's office of Qingzhou was established. The British Duke Li Ji was appointed the chief historian of the governor's office of Qingzhou to assist King Zuo Qi in governing affairs.
After saying this, His Majesty stopped talking and his eyes fell on the old god Cheng Sanlang.
#####
"Your virtuous son-in-law, Chu Bi, was the first to quell the rebellion in Luoyang. I should give you a corresponding reward."
"I just don't know if you, my dear son-in-law, have any ideas. Come on, come on, tell me and listen."
After hearing His Majesty's words, the eyes of all the important civil and military officials in the palace fell on Cheng Sanlang.
"Do you really mean what your father-in-law said?" Cheng Chubi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Haha, this is natural. Could it be that the king of a country can still deceive you?"
"Well, I'll give you two choices. One is the Qingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, which is about to be established. I'm going to appoint an official to the Qingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office.
The other one is Jing Zhaoyin of the Jing Zhao Mansion that is about to be established..."
"???" All the important officials in the court, especially Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou, who had secretly colluded with His Majesty before, were immediately confused.
Ma Zhou even wanted to jump out and ask His Majesty what do you mean? How can you change the rhythm temporarily? Don't you know that there will be problems if you let the Cheng Sanlang who hates people and dogs continue to stay in Luoyang?
But unfortunately, His Majesty was like a blind man and didn't even notice the glances he kept making.
"Can you really choose a son-in-law?" Hearing this, Cheng Sanlang looked hesitant.
"Of course I can choose, just tell me..."
"My father-in-law, my son-in-law just heard about the state affairs announced by His Highness the King of Wu, oh no, it was His Highness the King of Qi.
My son-in-law was filled with righteous indignation when he heard that, and the governor of Qingzhou was holding hostage from the Shandong Peninsula, which happened to be across the sea from the Japanese island.
If this is the case, otherwise the matter of negotiating with the Japanese state will be handed over to the Governor-General of Qingzhou, and the son-in-law will be responsible. The son-in-law will definitely let the Japanese leader bow his head and come to Luoyang to plead guilty and commit suicide, so as to demonstrate the power of Huanghuang Tian of the Tang Dynasty."
As soon as Cheng Sanlang finished speaking, the Minister of Honglu Temple over there was immediately unhappy. Why, you, a member of the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion, actually want to attack the Honglu Temple with its roots in Hongmiao?
"...How is this possible? Xiao Cheng Taibao, the governor of Qingzhou is in charge of military affairs, and the Japanese country is a vassal of our Tang Dynasty. This is a diplomatic matter and should be handled by Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites."
The Minister of Rites, Dou Shangshu, was not happy either, even though the scope of the Ministry of Rites' responsibilities had been expanded.
But the problem is a diplomatic issue, or it is related to the Ministry of Rites. Who would like to see the authority weakened.
"Your Majesty, I also feel that Xiao Cheng Taibao's words are too ridiculous. Please leave the Governor's Office and do what you should do, and don't involve foreign vassals..."
Cheng Chubi's face suddenly fell when he saw ministers jumping out one after another and gesticulating.
Today, it was rare for them to gain the upper hand in the court debate. When the officials of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites saw Cheng Sanlang's appearance, they wished they could congratulate each other with high fives or pop their crowns to celebrate.
In the military team on the side, someone had already started to encourage General Cheng in a low voice.
"Why are you panicking? My youngest is not the same generation as Yi Yu. Brothers, please wait and see. I'm afraid this kid has some killer moves hidden behind him."
It was not what General Cheng expected. As soon as the debate in the palace stopped, Cheng Chubi spoke loudly.
"My father-in-law, it seems that all the ministers can't bear to see my son-in-law becoming the governor of the governor's office. Let's forget it. I think it's not impossible for my son-in-law to become Jing Zhaoyin."
"???" As soon as the civil servants came, they were confused. Many officials even subconsciously raised their eyes at the Minister of Honglu Temple and Dou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
What do you mean? It's just a small vassal state, and Cheng Sanlang doesn't want to do all the diplomatic work.
So what if the diplomatic affairs of a Japanese country were left to him? Is it possible that you are really willing to work side by side with Cheng Sanlang, who is about to become the third-rank Jing Zhaoyin?
Dou Shangshu and Li Siqing, who looked very proud before, also realized, oh shit...it turns out there is a trap here.
But at this moment, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who seemed to have thought deeply, glanced at the important civil and military ministers present, and then asked meaningfully.
"Xian son-in-law, do you really want to be Jing Zhaoyin?"
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, a third-grade official suddenly stood up and saluted Li Shimin respectfully.
"Judging from the past achievements of Xiao Cheng Taibao, I suddenly feel that even if the diplomatic affairs with the Japanese country are given to the Qingzhou Governor's Office, it is not impossible..."
