Chapter six hundred and thirty seventh take another bite
Late at night.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
It was brightly lit and very lively.
Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Chen Shuda... the big shots in the court gathered together and tried to persuade Li Er.
"Your Majesty, although Japan is far away from the East China Sea, it is just a small country, and it is far from an opponent of the Tang Dynasty. However, the sky is high and the road is far away, and it is not easy to conquer. If we drive out all Suwa Yazi and the Japanese people, If Datang breaks up with Japan, it will scare other small countries around Datang!"
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. Your Majesty, although Su Wo Yazi is at fault for this matter, judging from the situation at that time, Su Wo Yazi probably did not mean it. Moreover, Su Wo Yazi has sent people to the gate of the imperial city to apologize and is willing to do whatever it takes. Repair the relationship with Datang at the cost!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
Everyone tried to persuade him.
Li Er calmed down and felt that it was not worth getting angry with a small country. On the contrary, it seemed that he, the "Khan of Heaven," was too small-minded, and in the end he was afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses.
I saw him waving his hands and saying: "My dear friends, there is no need to say any more about this matter... I can take back what I said before, and I will no longer expel Suwa Yazi and the Japanese people from the Tang Dynasty, and I will not pursue the Japanese for their arrogance and rudeness. , but the premise is that Suga Yazi must show sincerity in apologizing, otherwise, I will never forgive him, let alone a little prince, even if Emperor Shumei Tamura Iichi comes in person, it will not work."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The ministers praised him one after another.
Someone suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Su Wo Ya Zi must show enough sincerity this time, whether it is intentional or unintentional. In this matter, your Majesty also asks your Majesty to send an eloquent minister to mediate with Su Wo Ya Zi and get it." Naturally, the more compensation, the better! I suggest that the Ministry of Rites be asked to take charge of this matter!"
"Yes, Mr. Chen is obliged to do so!"
Everyone recommended Chen Shuda, the Minister of Rites.
When Chen Shuda heard this, he quit: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. Although this kind of thing is a diplomatic etiquette, it is extortion at this time. The Ministry of Rites will never do it, and I can't do it either!"
No matter how much everyone tried to persuade him, Chen Shuda just refused to do it.
Several officials from the Ministry of Rites also objected.
Everyone also knows that this matter is not going to please both parties.
If you extort Japan too hard, you will be recorded in the annals of history and be reviled by future generations. If you extort Japan lightly, you will be afraid that His Majesty will be unhappy.
No one wants to get into trouble with this.
Everyone argued endlessly and no one had a good idea.
At this time, Wei Zheng suddenly laughed: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I have a candidate who is absolutely suitable for this matter!"
"oh?"
"who?"
Everyone's eyes widened with curiosity.
Wei Zheng gave up and said: "If we want to negotiate with Su Wo Yazi, there is no one more suitable than Du He in the entire Tang Dynasty. Wang Situ must have a deep understanding of this!"
Everyone suppressed their laughter.
The negotiation in which Wang Situ, Kong Yingda and others joined forces to attack Du He but were defeated by Du He alone was so famous in Chang'an City.
Hearing this, Wang Gui blushed.
"Yes, Duhe!"
"It's just Du He. The public of Huyi County eats the emperor's salary and worries about the emperor. It's natural!"
"Anyway, this guy Du He doesn't care about reputation. It's perfect for him to take the lead in this matter!"
Everyone agreed.
…
Early in the morning.
The sun is shining brightly, the grass is green and the flowers are red.
The little birds are singing.
Mid-Levels College.
Dean's courtyard.
Zhang Jianhui reported: "Young master, Su Gao Yazi is in a state of distress now. I heard that His Majesty has changed his mind, but there is no explanation yet on how to deal with Su Gao Yazi and Japan. Su Gao Yazi is a weakling, and now he has completely surrendered.
I’m afraid we won’t be able to make waves in the future. We don’t have to worry!”
When Du He heard this, he shook his head: "Don't take it lightly. These Japanese people can be described in three words!"
"What three words?"
"Chrysanthemum and the Sword!"
Zhang Jian scratched his head: "Master, I don't study well, what do you mean?"
Du He said: "The biggest characteristic of the Japanese people is that when someone beats him down, he is willing to sacrifice even the chrysanthemum. But once someone relaxes their vigilance, he will pull out the knife! Don't beat him down completely.
, there will always be worries.”
Zhang Jian seemed to understand, nodded, and said solemnly: "Young Master, I understand, I will make arrangements right now and let the brothers of Venom Fang keep a close eye on it!"
"Go for it!"
Zhang Jian turned around and just left, when he saw Lao Fu running in.
He shouted: "Master, he's coming, he's coming, he's coming again..." the old man gasped.
Du He was speechless for a while and asked: "Who is coming?"
"Department of Etiquette, Master of Hosts and Guests, Yang Yuhua, Mr. Yang! Mr. Yang said he has something important to visit!" said the old man.
Yang Yuhua?
Isn't this guy completely offended by himself?
You can even come to visit?
Du He frowned and figured it out in no time.
"Let him in!"
A moment later, Yang Yuhua hurriedly walked into the house. When he saw Du He, the corner of his mouth twitched. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I want to meet the Duke of Huyi County!"
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang has so many things to do, how come you have time to come to my Mid-Levels College today?" Du He turned around, pointed to a plate on the table, and said, "Mr. Yang, would you like to have one?"
Yang Yuhua thought of the embarrassing scene that day and scolded Du He ten times in her heart, but she thanked him with a smile on her face, then walked over and picked up a melon seed.
This was the first time he came into contact with melon seeds. When he held them in his hand, they were as heavy as pebbles.
He thought to himself, this is Du He's good food, if you don't eat it, you won't get it! I saw Du He eating it before, and it seemed very delicious.
Yang Yuhua put the melon seeds in her mouth, bit down hard with all her strength.
Click.
Yang Yuhua felt like her mouth went numb.
He reached out and touched it, and found that the black melon seeds were intact, but one of his front teeth fell out.
"ah……"
Yang Yuhua was completely frightened.
At this time, Du He was heard saying: "Oh, Mr. Yang, you took the wrong thing. The stone you took is not the melon seeds. The melon seeds are in this plate."
Yang Yuhua turned around and almost vomited blood.
"Mom..."
There were actually two plates on the table, both of which looked like they were filled with dark things. But the one on the left was filled with melon seeds, and the one on the right was filled with pebbles the size of melon seeds. For Yang Yuhua, who had never eaten melon seeds, how could he tell the difference?
Come out.
"Du He, you tricked me!"
"Hey, Mr. Yang, you can eat melon seeds randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Which of your eyes saw that I cheated you? I clearly let you eat this plate, but you want to eat that plate yourself. Do you blame me?
"Du He said innocently.
Yang Yuhua opened her mouth, which was full of blood.
He looked pale, pointed at Du He, said something incoherently, and finally turned around and left in a hurry.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The old man on the side finally couldn't help it and burst into laughter, showing his yellow teeth, and his front teeth were still leaking.
