Those southern guys in Li Ke’s mouth are nothing more than the southern countries.
Once upon a time, the southern part of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Shu region, was also plagued by these guys.
As the king of Shu, Li Ke had been at war with these people for many years.
But later, because of the trouble caused by Li Ke, the Liangzhou army stayed in Shu for more than half a year.
During that half year, the southern countries were also very indifferent and came to cause trouble for the Liangzhou Army.
At that time, Liu Qi and others were so idle that they casually gave the family to the United States.
Nowadays, these southern countries have either been annexed by the Tang Dynasty, or they have fled further south.
And because they saw the strength of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Shimin issued the invitation edict, these guys immediately agreed.
But it's also because of the tense warring relationships over the years that Li Ke doesn't have a good impression of these people until now.
Therefore, he also hinted to Li Chengqian not to give these people a good look.
Naturally, Li Chengqian had no objection to this.
Originally, he had no intention of being very nice to these people.
After all, the world's structure changed for the first time, but it was because the Wan Guo of the Tang Dynasty spread all their technologies abroad.
It was also at that time that Chinese civilization began to decline, and Western civilization began to rise.
Having said this, some people may be curious as to why the Chinese nation has gone downhill?
In fact, this is very simple. It is simply because the late Song Dynasty experienced a civilizational era comparable to that of the Five Husties.
The reason for the end of Chinese civilization during the Five Husties was that the Han people in the north were almost wiped out.
The civilization of the late Song Dynasty was dated because someone would order the arrest of local craftsmen immediately after conquering the city.
If the craftsman is not of use to himself, he will be killed immediately.
Even if it is for his own use, he still has to follow the team back to the depths of the desert.
So much so that in the early Ming Dynasty, the North could not even select a useful talent. , the level of science and technology has regressed for more than hundreds of years.
Some people in later generations even compared the handicrafts of the Tang Dynasty with those of the Ming Dynasty, and found that the craftsmanship level of the Ming Dynasty not only did not improve at all, but also differed greatly in color.
This is naturally also affected by the decline in craftsmanship and technological levels.
Just like in the early Tang Dynasty, not even a decent trebuchet could be built.
It was only through the intervention of an outsider, Li Chengqian, that the flames of civilization rose.
But it's useless to say that now.
Anyway, in this life, he, Li Chengqian, is standing here.
He would never give these guys a chance to take away any technology from Datang.
All technological products can be viewed from a distance and cannot be played with.
…
Soon, envoys from Silla and Baekje arrived first.
The person sent by Silla was also an old acquaintance of Li Chengqian, Princess Kinderman of Silla.
I don’t know if it was influenced by Li Chengqian’s butterfly effect or something else, but this guy should have inherited his father’s legacy and became the first queen of Silla in the sixth year of Zhenguan.
But now it is already the twelfth year of Zhenguan, and six years have passed, but this guy has not moved at all.
Moreover, in the past few years, I heard that King Zhenping of Silla became more and more stubborn as he lived, and this year he took in three more concubines at once.
As for the envoy sent by Baekje, it was something Li Chengqian had never seen before.
But this person is also somewhat famous in history, and that is Buyeo Uiji, who is known as King Uiji.
And this guy was also a celebrity. He worked hard as soon as he took office, and personally led an army to attack Silla and snatched more than a dozen cities from Kinderman.
Then they clamored to no longer be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, refused to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, resisted Tang Gaozong's edict, and refused to return the territory to Silla.
Claiming to be the hero of Haidong.
The result after that was obvious. He was slapped by Li Zhi so loudly that he almost couldn't find his own home.
Later, Su Dingfang pushed him all the way and took the guy back to Luoyang by his collar. He never returned to his hometown until his death.
Of course, none of this is relevant now.
Now Li Chengqian has no intention of going over to see them.
After all, it is too much trouble to meet them one by one. It is better to wait until they are all here in the future and then go and meet them together.
That way, at least I can see it all in one breath.
But I don’t know if Kinderman was indifferent or something else. After meeting with Li Shimin, he directly applied to go to the East Palace to meet the prince.
When he heard this, Li Shimin didn't think much about it.
After all, to a certain extent, these two guys are old acquaintances, so it doesn’t hurt to meet. .??.
What's more, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian also deserved to be visited by envoys from foreign countries.
But this also gave Li Chengqian a huge headache.
He looked straight at the woman in front of him. To be honest, Kinderman had grown really well in the past few years. Not only was the baby fat gone, but the places that should have been bulging out had also appeared.
But despite this, he was still not interested in Kinderman.
At that moment, he said helplessly: "You guys, you can't just wait at the inn, but you have to come to me?"
"As the princess of a foreign country, it is natural for me to come to see the prince."
Kinderman raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chengqian and said, "However, it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to see me very much?"
Isn't what she said nonsense?
Li Shimin had already had the idea of marrying Kinderman before.
So much so that when he saw Kinderman now, he would inevitably feel a little embarrassed.
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, you are just a female fox." > "When you come to see me, you definitely don't have any good stuff in your heart."
It's not the first day he's met Kinderman, and he knows exactly what this guy is like.
"The so-called showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing."
"You guys can obviously wait in the hotel with Buyeo Yiji from Baekje."
"But he came to me alone to pay homage to me..."
Li Chengqian glanced sideways at Kinderman and said, "Why don't you just tell me, do you have any ulterior plans when you come here today?"
Hearing this, Kinderman looked a little aggrieved.
She said: "Your Highness may have thought a little too bad of me."
"Aren't you bad?"
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I vaguely remember that when someone first came to Chang'an City, he killed me with a knife."
Hearing this, Kinderman was also stunned.
Is this Tang Dynasty prince so vindictive?
Kinderman also rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pretend to be a white rabbit at the moment.
She said straight away: "In that case, I might as well explain it to His Highness."
"The current relationship between Silla and Baekje is very bad. We have had many frictions these days."
"Think about it, in March or May at most, or in one or two months at least, our two countries will have a large-scale collision."
Kinderman pursed his lips, raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian and said: "And I am here to seek your help, and for this we Silla are willing to pay any price."
Um?
Pay any price?
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Kinderman, and a very strange idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
At that moment, Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure you are willing to pay any price?"
Hearing this, Kinderman was stunned, and his face suddenly turned red...
