A few days later.

Outside the city of Xiaowan.

Groups of people came to the city, looked at the dilapidated low city gate, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Who would have thought that in this small city, there would be a male soldier of the Tang Dynasty.

Fu Human looked at the city in front of him, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"This general of the Tang Kingdom, will he meet with us?" He asked: "After all, we have served the Western Turks for many years, will it make the Tang Dynasty displeased?" ”

"Rest assured, the Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the state of etiquette, we are waiting for the future tribute, and the Tang people are naturally open the city gate to welcome it." Zhao Wukai said.

"Exactly, exactly, we are kings, and the generals of the Tang Dynasty are one level lower than us." Brown laughed.

"Yes, yes!"

"Then let's go into the city."

“……”

Li Tai and others in the city also got a tip-off and heard that the kings had arrived.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

All nations come to court, and it seems that there is still a little less.

It's not good for all nations to come to court, but when all nations return to court, that's really good.

This is an opportunity!

What a great opportunity!

"Your Highness, do we see or don't we see?" Cheng Yanjin asked while standing beside Li Tai.

"See, why not?" Li Tai smiled faintly and said, "Since they are here, we have to meet each other, and it doesn't matter if we meet." From now on, maybe we can really make this flower and country ours! ”

"Then I'll arrange it now, these kings really brought a lot of good things this time, hehe......" Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

Even if you don't look closely, you can see that his fingers are all gold rings with jewels.

He wears a large necklace made of gold jewelry around his neck.

Corrupt.

It's not your average corruption.

Basically, the generals in the city have filial piety, not to mention high-ranking generals like Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong.

Although Datang is anti-corruption, there are some things that the emperor still turns a blind eye to, such as this kind of blatant bribery, even if the emperor knows about it, he will not say anything.

Night falls.

In a large courtyard, Li Tai feasted the nations east of Persia.

A group of flaxen-haired or blond-haired people were looking at Li Tai with nervous expressions at the moment.

The famous Wei Wangtai of the Tang Dynasty.

Tall and mighty, a natural strongman!

Many kings said to themselves.

This area used to be the territory of the Yue Clan, and some of the people of the Yue Clan were from ancient Greece, and blonde hair and blue eyes were actually not uncommon in this area.

In ancient China, there were still many blonde and blue-eyed Caucasian tribes, such as the famous Sima Shao, who was blonde and blue-eyed, but was considered a Xianbei person and was almost captured by his own soldiers.

Of course, the Xianbei people are not all blonde and blue-eyed, and most of them look exactly like the Tang people.

However, a small number of the Xianbei people are blonde and blue-eyed whites, especially the eastern Xianbei tribe, who once conquered Siberia and live in Siberia.

Why is there less hereafter?

In fact, it is fused, just like a drop of ink and a plate of clear water, which is very conspicuous when it is not fused, but this drop of ink enters the clear water and quickly disappears.

And to the west of the Western Regions, it is really white, even in later generations, there are still many white brothers in the Western Regions. Of course, in later generations, everyone will be a part of Huaxia and a member of the blood link.

However, at this time, seeing these kings who looked different from the Central Plains, Li Tai was suddenly arrogant.

I really want to yell: "Lao Tzu wants to drink the strongest wine and sleep the best Yanma!" ”

Well, we want to turn them all into Tang people!

Make them all your own.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Tai raised his glass and said, "You kings have come this time, I don't know what happened?" ”

"Your Highness, we are here to join the Tang Dynasty and are willing to serve the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain." Fu Human hurriedly said.

"Your Highness, we were originally Tang Chen, and the Western Turks were arrogant and blocked the tributary road, but fortunately, the sage was benevolent and sent His Highness to open up this road again." Zhao Wukai said with some excitement: "From now on, we will become Tang Chen again, and we are really blessed by the Buddha!" ”

"That's right, we are willing to become the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty for generations."

"Although separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, our hearts are towards Datang."

“……”

The kings spoke one after another.

"Good, great good." Li Tai laughed and said, "This is the luck of the Tang Dynasty, and our luck is also!" ”

"A saint descended from heaven to wait for this piece of country for heaven, my Tang royal family is the Son of Heaven chosen by God, and wherever the sun and moon shine, it is Tang soil!"

"I, the Tang Dynasty, is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, prosperous and powerful, although it cannot be said that the soldiers are strong, but not everyone can underestimate it. Where the Tang soldiers go, no one does not surrender? Li Tai was very proud and said: "I am very happy that you are willing to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but do you know the conditions for becoming a vassal state?" ”

"We can save it." He Lingjia hurriedly said: "We are willing to pay tribute every year, and be ministers every year!" ”

"We are willing to pay tribute every year, and be ministers every year!"

"We are willing to pay tribute every year, and be ministers every year!"

"We are willing to pay tribute every year, and be ministers every year"

"We are willing to pay tribute every year, and be ministers every year!"

“……”

The kings spoke aloud.

Li Tai secretly rolled his eyes, he really wanted to beat this group of kings hard.

That's it?

You think that's the end of it?

Is it really a big deal for Datang? Even if Datang has a lot of money, it can't let you fool you like this.

Tribute, to put it nicely, is that the surrounding princely kingdoms take their own specialties to give to you to express their submission, but the Tang Dynasty pays attention to the exchange of courtesy, and generally accepts the tribute of the princes' kingdoms, and will return it to the princes and kingdoms tenfold, in order to show that they are rich in the products of the heavenly kingdom.

This business is simply a loss.

Later generations, the Ming Dynasty.

The Joseon State often did this, paying tribute twice or three times a year, and the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was about to be drained by them.

The emperor was very unhappy, and he had no choice but to scold him, so he could only issue a document that the Korean kingdom could only come to pay tribute once every three years.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you were originally my Datang vassal country, and my heart is to Datang, I am very pleased, and it is also the desire of the people." Li Tai sighed, and then said: "However, you are far away from Datang, and you have broken off contact with my Datang for many years, so you may not know my Datang's current national policy. ”

"Now if you want to become a vassal of my Datang, it's not so easy." Li Tai said with a sigh.

When everyone heard this, they had some doubts in their hearts.

Could it be that the Tang Dynasty doesn't need our tribute and doesn't need vassal states?

If that's the case, then we're in real trouble.
