Nearly a hundred envoys from various countries rushed to the main hall of the court in less than half an hour. All the envoys were suspicious. They didn't understand the situation at all, nor did they know what accident happened. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was sitting on the dragon couch with a dark face. He no longer had the smiles he had when he met the envoys in the past, nor the kind atmosphere he used to be. However, some ministers who were familiar with the envoys also quietly showed some whispers. When the Japanese envoys and his party arrived outside the hall, they were blocked at the door and asked them to wait first.

Soon, the envoys from all countries who arrived also knelt down quietly, all of whom were nervous, waiting for Uncle Li's speech. "Your Majesty! The envoy of the Japanese country, Onoki, asked for a meeting."

Uncle Li waved his expressionlessly, and the eunuch beside him immediately shouted in his sharp voice: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty proclaimed the envoys of the Japanese country to enter the palace to see."

"The envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, Ono Ki-Si, please see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. On behalf of our king of the Japanese Kingdom, I would like to wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, long live, long live!" Ono Ki-Si seemed to have realized something, and walked to the center of the hall, kneeling on the ground. The two deputy envoys beside him also knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Ono Ki-Sui, um..." Uncle Li nodded slightly, squinted his eyes, pursed his lips, and looked at the Japanese envoy coldly. After half a cup of tea, Uncle Li spoke again: "When did you come to my Tang Dynasty?"

"Reported to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I arrived in the Heavenly Dynasty in April of the 19th year of Zhenguan and arrived in Chang'an at the end of June. I am still waiting for Your Majesty's summons in the post."

Uncle Li put his finger on the table and tapped it gently, his voice cold and dull: "Oh. So, since you have just come to my Tang Dynasty, I guess you should be very clear about what is going on in your country, right?"

Ono Ki-kei was stunned and replied, "I don't understand your majesty's meaning."

"Haha, I don't understand, oh, it seems that I didn't ask clearly." Uncle Li smiled on his face, but no one present could feel the warmth. Even I felt a chill on my back, and Su Dingfang next to me was similar to me.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

In the court, except for the inaudible breathing sound, there was only the crisp sound of Uncle Li's finger tapping on the table. There seemed to be echoing in the empty hall.

"Since you are here, let me present your letter of nationality today. Let me see." Uncle Li pointed his hand, and the local official next to him took the letter of nationality and handed it to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li opened his eyes and looked at it with a sharp look. He suddenly closed his hands and rubbed the silk Chinese books together. Slap! He hit the table hard!

Everyone was shocked by Uncle Li's unusual movement. His eyes fell on the silk book on the table by Uncle Li. "It seems that it is exactly the same as the letter of the previous dynasty." On the side, Pei Xingjian's voice of a little gloating came into my ears. Fortunately, all of us young people were squatting on the edge. The inner officials who were consolidating the court discipline were far away from us. I also turned my face and lowered my voice: "Look at it slowly, anyway, Your Majesty is really annoyed."

"No, it's strange that it's not bad. If it weren't for the court, it was related to the national system, Old Su would like to chop off this little dwarf now. Damn it, the emperor?!" Su Dingfang also looked angry, with a pair of tiger eyes staring at the Japanese envoy fiercely.

The old man called the inner official and spoke a few words. The inner official nodded, carefully took the letter of state from the dragon case, handed it to the old man, and began to circulate it in the hands of the important ministers. Every minister he saw showed anger on his face and his eyes could almost spit out.

Uncle Li took a long time to suppress his anger, and his eyebrows frowned together, forming a clear Sichuan character: "Why is there a title like the Emperor of Sunrise above this letter? Is this your master's self-evident?!" Uncle Li shouted coldly. As soon as this statement came out, various shocks and suspicions suddenly arose in the hall, and several envoys even jumped up exaggeratedly.

Ono Ki-Jing never expected that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would ask him directly. After staying for a while, he said slowly: "Report to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, our lord is indeed regarded as the emperor by our people."

"Okay, okay!" Uncle Li laughed in anger: "I didn't expect that I really underestimated Japan." The voice was filled with coldness, as if in an instant, the originally hot climate had undergone a sharp change at this moment, as if it was a cold winter.

"Arrogant!" Changsun Wuji had already stood up, held the letter of state in his hand, and handed it to the envoys of the Tang vassal state beside him, signaling them to circulate it, and let those people understand why the top political leaders of the Tang Dynasty showed today.

He stepped forward a few steps and looked coldly at Ono Ki-Ki who was kneeling there and sweaty clothes. "I remember that during the Han Dynasty, I came to pay tribute to my country of China and asked someone to call myself a doctor. Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty gave him a seal and promised him to be the king of the Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Ming of Wei, he named the King of Ematai Himihu as the relative of Wei Wei, and his fake gold seal and purple sushi. He has always been a vassal state of China. It is a great favor to make you king. Now, he dares to use the emperor to describe himself. I wonder what the country is planning?"

Ono Ki-kei was tough and stood up and knelt down and said loudly: "This is the minister of the Celestial Kingdom, although our country has had good friendship with the Chinese country for hundreds of years, there is no relationship between our country. Those records have been long and difficult to investigate, so the ministers dare not admit it. In the previous dynasty, the Emperor of Sui received a letter from our country of Japan, and there was no dissatisfaction. I don't know why the ministers of the Celestial Kingdom valued a title so much."

"It's unreasonable! His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this person should be killed!" Aside from, the envoy of Silla immediately jumped out and pointed at Ono Ki-syu, angrily rebuked: "Arrogant and ignorant, you dare to make this lie in the palace of the State and State Administration of the Celestial Empire! Where is the heart?!"

Soon, more than a hundred envoys from various countries present made a report, angrily denounced the envoys of the Japanese. Even Baekje, who had always been with Japan, stood up in public and condemned him. For a moment, the officials of the Tang Dynasty all looked coldly on the sidelines. Uncle Li sneered and stared at the Japanese envoy who was still defending others.

With the scolding of the old man and several important officials in the court, the scene was a long time before calming down. Ono Ki-kei and the deputy envoys beside him were all lying on the ground. At this time, the Japanese envoy seemed to have found something wrong and wanted to defend himself, but the old man blocked his eyes back.

"Since the Han Dynasty, I have been dying about the thieves in the Central Plains. I have been stumbled against my seas, attacked my border people, and seized my property. These are all things that I can do without blame. Because my Tang Dynasty has always been based on human governance and benevolence to others. In the surrounding countries, whenever there are difficulties, my Tang Dynasty never looked sideways and looked at me coldly. Anyone who admired my Central Plains culture and technology will come and go freely and provide convenience everywhere. But I never expected that when I first sent an envoy to the court, I would be able to bow my knees... Now do you think you have learned enough and learned well that you can be a hundred times better than my Tang Dynasty. You can be arrogant and call yourself the Emperor?!" Uncle Li stood up from the dragon couch, and his ferocious face turned angry and sarcastic.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Your Majesty! The country of Japan is full of such sluts, who speak wildly and contradictory. I think you can be imprisoned and punished!" The old man stood up. The voice was filled with cold air.

Li Daozong, a famous general of the royal family, also came out: "Your Majesty, in such an arrogant country, no courtesy of the ministers, can be attacked."

Countless court ministers had a strange agreement, because Japan had really angered the Tang Dynasty. When their letter of nationality was passed to me, I almost wanted to pull out my knife and stab someone. Damn it! The little Japanese slave was indeed arrogant enough, saying from the sunrise, the Emperor of the Sun and the Book of Emperor was in danger. What is this? For my Tang Dynasty, this is simply a complete insult.

On the side, Su Dingfang was so angry that his face turned green. He threw away the letter of the country and stepped out: "Your Majesty, I am Su Dingfang asking for an order. I am willing to lead a division and take the Japanese territory directly. If I do not destroy the country, it will be difficult to show the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. I will not bear the humiliation of your Majesty!"

"I am also willing to send troops to fight against this crazy and rebellious person."

The Tang Dynasty may lack other things, but it will definitely not lack courage, self-esteem, and the kind of pride that comes from the heart of the nation.

At this time, Li Jing silently walked to the Japanese envoy who was lying on the ground without fear. His white eyebrows were raised slightly, his eagle eyes were not angry, and he took his eyes back after a while and turned around and said, "Your Majesty, although the old man is over 70 years old, he has not been competing with others for a long time. However, today, the old man here asks for his order. I hope that your majesty will allow the old man to lead a large army to him. The old man will capture all these disobedient and arrogant people and wipe out the land!"
