Chapter 319: Unfavorable things! The so-called scapegoat!
"This is the easiest and most convenient method at present. Judging from the results, if this is their purpose, then they will definitely find ways to promote this matter. Therefore, anyone who mentions this in the future parliament will be a thief. , what do you think?"
Shen Lian's voice fell.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
But soon, different people's expressions immediately changed.
The faces of Chihe La and others were extremely ugly.
Because Shen Lian's words almost blocked their mouths directly.
They came to Datang just to take advantage of Datang!
But now, because of Baekje, the fake envoy, they can't open this mouth.
Otherwise, whoever opens his mouth is a thief!
Who will be the target of public criticism, and how will they speak?
And if you can't speak, you still take advantage of it!
Isn’t this trip to the Tang Dynasty in vain?
There is no benefit at all and so much time and energy are wasted.
What a loss!
Whether it was Chila or Antony, the envoys of these big countries all looked ugly.
But they can't refute Shen Lian now.
After all, what Shen Lian said is very reasonable and well-founded. If they refute it at this time, doesn't that prove that they have a guilty conscience?
After all, those envoys from small countries were already frightened.
They were really frightened by Shen Lian's words - there were other envoys who might have been replaced by thieves!
They felt very insecure when they thought that the people sitting around them might be the executioners who slaughtered a group of envoys.
Therefore, they fully agreed with Shen Lian's words!
The thief must be found first, otherwise they will never be at peace for a moment.
Therefore, in this case, even big countries such as Tubo and the Great Food Country did not dare to oppose them.
Otherwise, if these small countries are really pushed into a hurry and move closer to the Tang Dynasty, they will really cry!
Therefore, this matter was decided by Shen Lian in a few words.
They really did not dare to utter a single word of their malice and covetousness towards Datang.
And this... Honglu Temple Zhao Hai, A Bao, Li Xiangyin and others... were extremely excited and admired in their hearts!
So awesome!
It’s really awesome!
They never thought that the situation where they were unanimously enemies of the Tang Dynasty just now would become like this in the blink of an eye!
It's better now.
Even if Tubo and others wanted to do harm to the Tang Dynasty, they would not dare to speak again because of the adults' words.
But he didn’t even dare to say anything, and even mentioned anything that was detrimental to Datang!
It seems that the crisis in Datang is more than half over!
They were really moved.
Awesome!
As for Shen Lian, he just licked the corner of his mouth, and his expression didn't change much.
For a smart person like him, taking advantage of every available opportunity is just a basic operation.
Therefore, when he saw the great gift Tianquan had given him, he naturally wanted to maximize the impact of this gift.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a failure of Tianquan’s good intentions?
However, Shen Lian's eyes narrowed slightly.
These corpses were discovered last night, so... this should indicate that Tianquan had prepared these corpses last night.
Did he decide that he would kill the chicken to scare the monkey today?
Therefore, prepare corpses in advance to support yourself and help you escape.
However, within an hour, he knew which country's envoy it was.
Does this mean….
Shen Lian looked at these envoys again and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Does this mean that among these envoys, there are also people who are secretly controlled by Tian Quan?
Were these people the ones who just sent the message to Tianji?
Who could it be?
Shen Lian knew that some envoys had gone to the toilet just now, but he almost fell asleep with his eyes closed and didn't care.
It seems that I will ask Ah Bao and the others later, maybe...there are people from Tianji here.
Shen Lian was not surprised when Tianquan controlled the envoys and wanted to interfere on the chessboard.
But... who is the envoy controlled by Beichen?
Nanzhao is controlled by Tianshu and Tianxuan.
What about Beichen?
And besides them, are there other tentacles that have also reached out to the big game of the Council of Nations?
Shen Lian's eyes flickered.
It’s really lively!
Out of more than a hundred envoys, how many envoys were replaced?
Thinking of this, Shen Lian couldn't help but sigh.
The Tang Dynasty is really the land of destiny, favored by heaven!
It was obviously the Council of All Nations, but how could these envoys know that they were just pawns of people like the Tang Dynasty.
That is to say, these guys in Datang are not united and have their own ideas.
Otherwise, if they unanimously open up to the outside world, wouldn't the world be at their fingertips?
Shen Lian shook his head.
We are uniquely blessed, but precisely because of this, there are too many outstanding people, and they repel each other.
If you want to truly unify the world and fight against the outside world, you must first settle down at home!
Either be used by me or kill them all, otherwise... the Tang Dynasty will never be able to aspire to dominate the world.
Therefore, we still have to fight, Beichen, Tianquan... I guess they all have the same idea.
They all have the same terrifying ambitions as me, right?
Datang is really too small!
Shen Lian looked at the envoys from various countries, his eyes slightly bright: "Only in this world are we qualified to use our full strength."
Shen Lian recovered his thoughts, looked at the envoys, and said: "The envoys of Baekje were killed for no reason. We in the Tang Dynasty will never let thieves do whatever they want, so please rest assured that I will seize the time to track down the real culprits. When the time comes, I will definitely give justice to the Baekje envoy!"
"At the same time, I will also give everyone an explanation!"
"But before that, the Council of Nations cannot delay. After all, this is related to the future of more than a hundred countries, so... please calm down for the time being and continue to plan for the common people of the world. I promise that more troops will be sent to protect you. As long as you are in the inn, you will never be harmed at all."
Shen Lian's words made many envoys feel relieved.
The destruction of two envoy groups in succession really made them nervous and worried.
Fortunately, Shen Lian promised to send more troops to protect them, which made them feel a little more at ease.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although I dare not leave the inn easily, my own life is more important than other things.
Therefore, no one objected to Shen Lian's proposal. On the contrary, many envoys from small countries were somewhat grateful and felt that Shen Lian was too reliable and gave them a sense of security.
They had already accepted Shen Lian's act of sending warmth, and now they had a favorable impression of Shen Lian.
Shen Lian saw them looking at him gratefully, with a gentle smile on his face, nodded slightly, and said, "Believe me, everything will be fine."
These envoys nodded quickly: "We believe in Commander Shen!"
"Yes, Commander Shen has a good reputation. We believe that Commander Shen will be able to protect our safety."
Everyone responded enthusiastically.
Seeing this scene, Chiela, Anthony and others also showed solemn expressions on their faces.
Since arriving in Chang'an, accidents have happened one after another.
Until now, not only were they unable to directly express their ill will towards the Tang Dynasty, but they had also encouraged the envoys from the small countries who were originally attached to them to become more friendly towards the Tang Dynasty and towards Shen Lian.
This kind of change made Qihe pull them feel huge pressure in their hearts.
They knew they could never go on like this.
Otherwise, this trip to deal with the Tang Dynasty, in the end... it is really possible that, as rumored, it will become a court from all nations.
Not only did they get no benefit at all, but they even made wedding clothes for Datang!
If that's the case, then they would be so miserable!
They worked so hard to put together such a game, but in the end all the benefits went to Datang. They couldn't bear this grievance.
Chihela looked at Anthony, and Anthony happened to look over as well.
The two people's eyes met in the air. This time, it was no longer a violent collision, but an extremely complex emotional intersection.
They frowned, but in the end they all nodded subtly.
It seems that some agreement has been reached.
But soon, their eyes quickly separated, and then they returned to the hall as if nothing happened.
But this time they looked at each other, nothing could be hidden from Shen Lian's eyes.
The corners of Shen Lian's mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of a smile but not a smile.
He chuckled softly and whispered to himself: "Have the two main chess pieces on the chessboard finally been unable to bear it any longer and started to promote changes in the chess game?"
After laughing, Shen Lian's expression returned to normal and he stepped into the hall.
Not long after, all the envoys returned to the hall and sat in their seats.
Compared with the previous vigilance, after seeing the murder of the Baekje envoys, everyone became more vigilant. Everyone wished they were thousands of miles away from others, as if everyone in their eyes was a murderer. .
Shen Lian put everyone's precautions under his eyes, he smiled and said: "I was interrupted by some unexpected things just now, let's continue again, I hope you can make some constructive suggestions instead of making random jokes. , Our occasion is very solemn and solemn, I hope you will pay more attention to it."
"Then... Next, please continue to speak freely."
After saying that, Shen Lian picked up the tea cup again and drank the tea gently, with the same indifferent expression on his face as before.
It was as if what he had just experienced had no impact on him at all.
Qihela and others frowned and remained silent.
If they can't show their covetousness to the Tang Dynasty, then they really have nothing to say. They didn't come here for bullshit peace in the first place.
As for the small countries, if the big countries don't speak, they naturally don't dare to speak.
Moreover, as Baekje’s fake envoys have learned from the past, no one is willing to stand out.
Therefore, a stick of incense passed and no one said a word.
The tea in Shen Lian's hand was cold. He couldn't help but put down the tea cup, looked at everyone and said, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"Commander Shen."
At this time, Anthony, the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, spoke, and he said with a smile: "We have just experienced some shocks. The deaths of the envoys of Baekje and Bolu have made us unable to calm down, so now we can't calm down either. .”
"Under this situation, nothing can be discussed. I think it's better to give it up for today. Let's take a day off and talk about it tomorrow."
Shen Lian's expression did not fluctuate at all, as if he had expected it.
He glanced at Anthony, his dark eyes calm and unruffled.
Anthony felt as if he had been sucked into a whirlpool. It only took a moment, but he was sweating profusely and his whole body was dripping with cold sweat.
At this time, Shen Lian's gaze retracted, and Anthony couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking at Shen Lian's expression, full of fear.
He didn't understand what had just happened and why he felt so frightened.
Shen Lian paid no attention to Anthony. He stood up slowly and said calmly: "In that case, let's take a day off today. Tomorrow we will continue the Council of Nations. Everyone should have a good rest after returning. Don't think too much. Believe that we are great." Tang, we will do our best to protect your safety."
After saying that, Shen Lian walked out directly.
Ah Bao and others hurriedly chased after him. Ah Bao asked: "Sir, is this the end of today?"
"if not?"
Shen Lian didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly: "I blocked their mouths so that they had nothing to say. Even if we stay in a stalemate here for a day, it is just a waste of time."
"They have never thought about discussing peace matters at all, so I don't give them time to discuss how to resolve this matter. This parliament... naturally cannot proceed."
Si She asked in confusion: "Since you know that they have bad intentions towards the Tang Dynasty, why do you still give them time to discuss a solution? Isn't this very detrimental to us?"
"Disadvantageous? Why is it disadvantageous?"
Shen Lian said calmly: "I have already set the tone for the situation at hand. Anyone who covets the Tang Dynasty or shows ill will towards the Tang Dynasty is related to the thief."
"So under this premise, if they want to obtain benefits, they have only two ways to go."
"Which two roads?" Abao asked hurriedly.
Shen Lian glanced at Li Xiangyin, who looked thoughtful, and said with a smile: "Xiangyin, can you tell me?"
Li Xiangyin thought for a while and then said: "Teacher, this is what the students think."
"Their path is nothing more than two! First, they only want benefits, whether they come from the Tang Dynasty or not. Therefore, under the premise set by their mentor, if they want to obtain benefits, they can only Instead of targeting the Tang Dynasty, we will change the direction and target those small countries."
"After all, small countries cannot compete with big countries, but if they want to obtain benefits from small countries, they will definitely find a way to unite with us, Datang, so that we, Datang, can cooperate with them and distribute the benefits together."
"Why?"
When Abao heard this, he asked: "If there is any benefit, can they just share it themselves? Why should they ask Datang to share it?"
Abao was very puzzled.
Li Xiangyin said: "You are right, they do not want to take the initiative to share the benefits of Datang, but they have to do so."
"After all, if they attack small countries, they will definitely arouse the hostility of small countries. If Datang, the Tang Dynasty, extends an olive branch at this time, then those small countries will gather firmly in the lobby."
"By then, Datang is likely to become the boss elected by these small workers. This is equivalent to invisibly helping Datang increase its strength. And with Datang's protection, it is not easy for them to obtain the interests of small countries. of."
