Chapter 898

A day later, Song Muqi had already disappeared, and in an inconspicuous small shop in the West Market, Li Chengqian and Qin Jisheng sat opposite each other, and the position was the same as the position where Yemei and Yang Yuxin saw off last time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, a cup of respect to His Highness!"

"Hongu is not used to drinking alcohol when talking about things, so you can say anything directly." Li Chengqian looked at the wine glass on the table in front of him silently, although on the surface he refused his toast because Qin Jisheng's identity was not enough, but in fact, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the main intention of refusing to drink was not to die with others.

With the last time he secretly poisoned Lao Cheng, Li Chengqian was very careful about everything, as long as the wine was not taken out and poured out by himself, unless the old man or his mother asked him to drink it, he would never taste a drop.

This may be the reason why the more you live, the more afraid of death, although Lao Cui has hinted at him more than once, there is no problem with his life for decades.

"Your Highness, the minister has a reluctant request, and I hope His Highness will approve it." A trace of unwillingness flashed in Qin Jisheng's eyes, but it was concealed by him by putting down the wine glass and lowering his head.

"Since you know it's a reluctant invitation, don't say it!" Li Chengqian's ivory fracture fan in his hand knocked lightly on the table, and his upper body shook slightly, and he had the intention of getting up to leave.

"Your Highness......" Seeing that Li Chengqian was leaving, Qin Jisheng was a little anxious, got up from his chair, and knelt down on one knee in front of him: "Your Highness, for the sake of Yang Angel and the 'red-clothed' messenger, help my naturalized person." ”

"Is Yang Tian and 'Red Clothes'? The two of them don't seem to be naturalized people, do they? Li Chengqian asked quietly.

"But ......, but Your Highness, the two envoys are currently the supreme commanders of the naturalized people."

"Don't talk about the two of them, just say what you want to do, don't treat this palace as that little fool." Li Chengqian snorted lightly, others said that they would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe in his mouth. But he thinks that he would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe in the mouth of the Japanese people!

Thinking about what these little devils have done in later generations, it is difficult for Li Chengqian to believe them, although Qin Jisheng is holding a satisfactory token, and the code words are very clear.

At this moment, Qin Jisheng had no tricks, and Li Chengqian made it clear that he did not trust the carriage and horses, and let all the words he had prepared in advance turn into flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. He didn't know why Li Chengqian's attitude had such a change, some time ago, when the army went out, it seemed that he still trusted him very much, but now he showed serious distrust, what happened during this period?

In fact, nothing happened during this period, the difference is only that Li Chengqian's thoughts are making trouble, and there is a very classic saying in later generations to form his thoughts, that is, there are always Diao people who want to harm me!

"Tell me, what do you naturalized people want to do?" Seeing that Qin Jisheng was no longer talking, Li Chengqian asked again, but his voice was cold.

There is no way, seeing that if he doesn't explain his purpose clearly, there will be a risk of falling to the ground, Qin Jisheng can only tell the truth: "Respected Highness, my naturalized people want to be independent, I want to establish a country that belongs to naturalized people, and I hope Your Highness will approve it!" ”

Silence, after a long silence, just when Qin Jisheng's cold sweat had already soaked the clothes on his back, Li Chengqian finally spoke: "Why does this palace support you? What's in it for me? ”

Although Li Chengqian's original intention was to make the naturalized people make trouble and cause trouble in the Japanese Kingdom, this did not mean that he would immediately agree to Qin Jisheng's request, after all, the easier it was to get, the less he would cherish it, and Li Chengqian did not want his plan to fall short because of his impatience.

"We will always be loyal to Datang, be a subordinate of Datang for the rest of our lives, and always guard the east gate for Datang." Qin Jisheng gritted his teeth and said. This is already his final bottom line, and all naturalized people have made a resolution to set this final bottom line before he came.

However, Qin Jisheng obviously underestimated Li Chengqian's appetite, and just when he thought that Li Chengqian would nod and agree, he heard the completely opposite conclusion: "Not enough, far from enough, people will change, even if this palace believes in you now, but this palace does not believe in your naturalized descendants, and the current Wa Kingdom is also a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need for this palace to abandon the basics and try its best to support another force." ”

"However, but now the Wa Kingdom has been out of the control of the Tang Dynasty, and they ......" Qin Jisheng was anxious in his heart, and raised his head sharply and said urgently.

"Why don't you listen to Hongu's advice?" Li Chengqian waved his hand to interrupt Qin Jisheng and said unhurriedly.

"I wish to listen to His Highness!"

"Take Tsushima Island, hand over the strait to the Tang Dynasty, and you also have to encourage Silla and Baekje to attack Goguryeo's back and contain Goguryeo's energy." Li Chengqian spoke very slowly, not caring about Qin Jisheng's frowning brows.

"Your Highness, this, this is too difficult, and it is difficult for foreign ministers to do it." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Qin Jisheng said with some embarrassment.

Fighting a war is to kill people, and naturalized people want to be independent, and what they hope most is that Li Chengqian can send the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty to help them fight, and wait until the Tang Dynasty solves all the main combat forces of the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom and the Su I clan, and the naturalized people will enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.

Among a series of naturalized people, the result of their consultations in the Wa Kingdom was that Li Chengqian now needed merit and the support of an external force, and a foreign force declared its allegiance to him, which was undoubtedly the best way to increase his prestige.

However, as the spokesperson of the naturalized people, Qin Jisheng never expected that Li Chengqian's appetite was so great, and he was disdainful of the allegiance to the entire Japanese state, and there were many derogatory meanings between his words, and he even put forward such embarrassing conditions.

"Isn't it difficult?" The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched slightly, looked at Qin Jisheng and said: "If you want to be independent, you have to have sacrifices, if you want this palace to support you, you have to let this palace see your value, otherwise if it's just a red mouth and white tooth of loyalty, do you think this palace will lack this?" ”

"This ......"

"Qin Jisheng, go back, go back to the Wa Kingdom, tell the meaning of this palace to the head of your naturalized people, and tell this palace that I don't mind that someone uses me, life is to use each other in the world, but before using this palace, it is best to weigh your own weight and see if you can bear the consequences after the matter is revealed." Li Chengqian no longer wanted to listen to those so-called explanations, and directly drew conclusions about the matter.

His meaning has been clearly expressed, and I believe that those who want to be independent and naturalized should be able to figure it out. And as he just said, if the naturalized people don't even have the ability to attack Tsushima, he really doesn't have the need to support them.
