Chapter 459 Don't Get Dirty
Above the main hall, the Japanese envoy's face was ugly, and he never thought that Li Yin would suddenly stand up and disrupt the situation.
So he quickly put on a smiling face and apologized non-stop to Li Yin.
"I didn't expect His Royal Highness to have such a deep prejudice against our country. I am here to apologize to you on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor."
"I also ask Your Highness to agree to trade, which is also good for Datang."
As he spoke, he observed Li Yin's face, how could he know that Li Yin had no intention of letting go, and his attitude was very firm.
Just listen to Li Yin's reply.
"Father, the Japanese envoys once came and fought in Chang'an City. They ignored the laws of the court and were barbaric by nature and difficult to civilize. This is one of them!"
Li Yin has plausible words and directly brings up many old accounts, but it is not enough.
Just listen to him say again.
"Secondly, this envoy went to the palace to have an audience. He was inconsistent with what he said, and deliberately showed softness, just to benefit the Japanese country at this moment!"
"Father, see the big from the small. The whole country of Wa is full of people who hide their swords in their smiles. They really shouldn't be friends with each other. When they use trade to gain a foothold in the port, and then slowly plan for me to go to the hinterland, it will be too late to regret!"
Li Yin's voice was stern, but it was clear to the Japanese envoy's mind, how could he agree to their request.
After hearing Li Yin finished speaking, all the officials changed their faces, Wei Zheng and the others were even more turbulent in their hearts, and they only felt a chill on the back of their necks.
He quickly stood up and helped Li Min speak.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince's words are justified, but the envoy's request is absolutely unacceptable!"
With a stern face, Wei Zheng expressed his attitude directly.
But Li Shimin fell into contemplation, and it took a while to make a decision in his heart.
Seeing Li Shimin get up slowly, he waved his hand.
"I don't allow trade!"
Li Shimin's words were so powerful that the Japanese envoy's face turned ugly and he could not utter a word.
The atmosphere above the main hall plummeted, and many officials were sighing. Some even had sarcastic voices and told the Japanese envoys to go back wherever they came from.
But he actually slapped the messenger in the face, making his eyes darken.
"Since His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of doing friendly business with our country, I will take my leave!"
The Japanese envoy left the hall angrily, but couldn't stay any longer.
After returning to the residence, several followers immediately approached and asked the envoy what happened.
But startled by his ugly face, they all gasped, knowing that the outcome of the matter might not be as expected.
"Not only did His Majesty the Emperor not agree, he even humiliated me in front of everyone in the court!"
The envoy of the Japanese Kingdom was so angry that he vented his anger on some furnishings in the house, and broke many things in a short time.
Hearing this, several followers sighed one after another, but the Japanese envoy did not intend to give up just yet.
He looked at him with sinister eyes and said Li Min's name word for word.
"It's not like I didn't gain anything from the court today."
The Japanese envoy described Li Min's posture in the court hall, which shocked the eyes of several followers, and immediately had a new idea.
"In this way, we can work on His Highness the Crown Prince." A follower suggested.
The others also agreed after hearing this, and seeing the approval in the eyes of the Japanese envoy, they also thought the same in their hearts.
Now that a new plan had been finalized, the Japanese envoy was not idle, and immediately asked people to prepare a lot of gold and silver jewelry and filled a large box.
"Today I will go to meet the Crown Prince for a while."
The Japanese envoy had already planned to bribe Li Yin, and just waiting for the night to fall, he led people to the gate of the Prince's Mansion quietly.
At nightfall, Li Min was about to ask someone to take off his clothes, but he was upset by the anxious look on the housekeeper's face when he came in.
Immediately asked what was going on.
"What does it look like to be flustered?" Li Yin was quite critical.
But the housekeeper looked aggrieved, and directly told the story of bringing gifts to the Japanese envoy.
Hearing this, Li Yin immediately frowned, his eyes deep.
Although he knew that the envoy from the Japanese kingdom had no good intentions when he came to the door at this time, Li Yin also knew that China has been paying attention to etiquette for thousands of years.
He was a guest at the door, but refusing the door seemed a bit petty as a prince. After Li Yin figured this out, he quickly asked the housekeeper to bring him in, and received him in the study.
As soon as he entered, the Japanese envoy who had been waiting for a long time was so enthusiastic that he directly wanted to bow down to Li Yin.
But at this time, Li Yin was full of disdain in his heart, and he didn't have any good feelings for the people of the Wa country, so he asked contemptuously.
"Eastern Palace, what are you doing here at this hour?"
After Li Min said this, the Japanese envoy smiled and hurriedly opened the box. The gold and silver were eye-catching, and Li Min frowned immediately.
I also guessed why the Japanese envoy came to visit at this time, probably because of the discussion at the court meeting.
"My king is not short of food or clothing. It's useless to ask for gold and silver. You'd better take them back."
Li Yin originally wanted to save some face for the Japanese envoy, so he pretended that today's incident didn't happen at all, but he never thought that the Japanese envoy could not understand his thoughts at all.
Thinking that Li Yin was just superficially polite, he got to the point impatiently.
"His Royal Highness, these things are just some thoughts. When the business is completed, there must be a big thank you!"
He had a determined face, but he failed to notice Li Yin's changed face.
Ah!
Li Yin sneered, with disdain in his eyes.
He closed the box directly in front of the messenger, and then deliberately sarcastic.
"Your Wa country is just a small country, nothing more than a tiny place. These things are regarded as treasures in your eyes, but they are nothing in the eyes of this king!"
What did you say!
The Japanese envoy's expression suddenly changed, and he was angry in his heart, but he did not dare to express it in front of his face.
Seeing Li Yin's tone of sarcasm, he began to criticize one after another.
But he didn't pay much attention to what he brought.
"You take the things back, and don't talk about the matter. Your wolfish ambitions can't fool the eyes of this king."
The corners of Li Yin's mouth curled up, and he was about to see off the guests with a wave of his big hand, which immediately made the Japanese envoy's face very ugly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" He looked unwilling and wanted to try again.
But seeing that Li Yin was very impatient, he called the housekeeper in directly.
"Throw out the people and things of the Wa country, don't dirty the king's land!"
When the butler heard this, he felt happy in his heart, no matter what the expression of the Japanese envoy was, he was directly framed for him.
"Happy, happy!" The housekeeper only felt that following Li Yin was full of prestige.
