In the autumn of the second year of Kaiyuan, August.

Nambatsu, Japan.

Emperor Shuming of Japan sent a great companion bird to raise thirty-two boats, and the flags were solemnly welcomed the Tang envoy at Jiangkou.

Namba Kishi Kotoki, Naoya Fuki Okanoi, opened the way for the Tang envoys, and went to a hotel specially built for the envoys of the Tang envoys. Iki Shibiao, and Namba Kishi Hachio, were honored with the Tang envoys.

"Angel, this is the divine wine given by my Japanese Emperor."

In ancient times, Japan was called Japan, and Japan was named Yamato after unification about two hundred years ago. The country was Japan and admired the sun, so the sun was regarded as its own totem.

During the Sui Dynasty, Prince Shengto of Japan wrote in his letter to Emperor Yang of Sui that the emperor came from the sun to the sunset. Later, the Tang Dynasty sent by Japan to the Sui Dynasty felt that the name of Japan was not good, so he changed his name to Japan. Because it was recently released, it was named after it.

The Japanese king calls himself the king of heaven.

Now I give wine to the Tang envoy.

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty who came from afar was Gao Biaoren. He was the son of Prime Minister Gao Shilian and the son-in-law of the Supreme Emperor. He was from a famous family and had a respected family status. When he came to this country in person, the Japanese even started to control it.

Gao Biaoren refused to accept the wine.

Instead, he said to Emperor Shu Ming, who was sitting in the hall of the museum, "I am the special envoy of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, and I have an imperial edict read. The Japanese king should kneel down to the north and accept His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Gao Biaoren's words were so rude that the Japanese rulers and ministers were stunned.

They did pay tribute to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also gave them the title of King of Japan. But this is Japan, and they follow the customs of the countryside, and the envoys of the Tang Dynasty should respect the Japanese Emperor.

How could the Japanese Emperor kneel down to the north to receive the order?

Emperor Shu Ming, who has been the emperor for ten years, has a look of unhappiness.

As the 34th generation emperor of Japan, he is the grandson of Emperor Mindat and the son of Prince Hikoto Oshisaka, with noble blood.

Although the Suwo family was in power in the court and was dictatorship of the foreign relatives, no matter how he was also the emperor, how could he kneel down to the Tang envoy?

The atmosphere suddenly changed abnormally.

Minister Suwo Ei, the current patriarch of Suwo clan, stepped forward a few steps.

"The Emperor can stand and receive the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty."

As the actual master of the Japanese government, Su We, Ekima, still had a relatively clear understanding of the Tang Dynasty and knew the power of the Tang Dynasty. Before, the destruction of Goguryeo, it was his decision to send troops to the Korean Peninsula. He asked local wealthy families to send soldiers to the Korean Peninsula to assist the Tang Dynasty in destroying Goguryeo.

The Tang Dynasty destroyed the powerful Goguryeo in just a few years, which made him very awe of the Tang Dynasty.

This time when Silla and Baekje were fighting, Suwo and Ekimai have been mediating. Seeing that the two families are getting stronger and stronger, Suwo and Ekimai hopes to talk to the Tang Dynasty and calm the war in the southern part of the peninsula.

He was worried that the two countries would fight and let the Tang Dynasty take the opportunity to move south.

But after finally getting a Tang envoy, he unexpectedly came up with such a thing.

Gao Biaoren was wearing a purple robe and jade belt. He looked down on these Japanese people from the bottom of his heart. His clothes were weird and ugly. Especially the emperor, his teeth were dyed black, his eyebrows were shaved, and he was also weird wearing a hat. He even called himself the emperor?

You are just a king of Japan, what qualifications are you to call yourself the emperor?

Today, there are only three emperors.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, His Majesty the Emperor of the Roman Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Persian Empire, these are jointly recognized by the three families. As for the others, they are not qualified to be called emperor.

A small country of Japan, which is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, what qualifications are he to be called emperor and emperor? Why don’t you call him God Haotian?

"Rites should not be chaotic, and rituals should not be abolished. As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the king of the Tang Dynasty was the king of the Tang Dynasty. But the little king dared to call himself the emperor, so why would he choose?"

Gao Renbiao adheres to two principles.

1. The king of the Japanese king must go to the name of the Emperor and take the name of the King of Japan, who was enthroned by the Tang Dynasty.

Secondly, the king of the Japanese king must face north and kneel down to receive the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty.

Su Wo Xiayi frowned. He learned Chinese well, and he almost understood the meaning of the angel. But the more he did this, the more difficult he was.

The title of Emperor has been used for more than a thousand years in Japan. From the first generation of Emperor Shenwu in the earliest mythology to Emperor Shuming, it has been passed down for thirty-four generations. The title of Emperor Emperor has been used for thirty-four generations.

Now the Tang Envoy wants to abolish the title of Emperor in one sentence. How can this be done?

If you disagree, the messenger will be unhappy.

The atmosphere is very stiff.

Su I, Eiyi, walked to Emperor Shuming, "Why would your Majesty choose to kneel down and greet the imperial edict?"

Emperor Shu Ming was established by Su I-Yayi. At that time, the court officials wanted another prince, and even the Su I-Yayi had objections. Su I-Yayi sent troops to kill his uncle and forcibly established Emperor Shu Ming.

As the most powerful family in Japan, the Suwo family has been constantly marrying the royal family and supporting the prince and daughter who are close to the Suwo family as the emperor, making the Suwo family always control the government.

The Emperor is the monarch and the god of Shintoism. The Emperor of Japan has no surname or household registration.

The Emperor Fun is named Tamura.

Tamura shook his head.

He is not only a king, but also a god.

As God, how can you kneel down to others?

"His Majesty······"

Tamura interrupted him, "No need to say it, it's impossible."

The Su family's Hokkien winked at the Empress Baodi, who was also an ally of Suwo Ekii in the palace. The Empress Baodi was beautiful but very scheming. She first married Emperor Ming's grandson Gao Xiangwang, and gave birth to a Han prince. Later, she seduced Emperor Shu Ming with beauty, and got the support of Suwo Ekii, and married Emperor Shu Ming and was named the queen.

Later, he gave birth to two sons and one daughter, Prince Katsushiro, Prince Hairen, and Prince Jiren. These two sons and one daughter, later in history, Prince Katsushiro became Emperor Tianzhi, Prince Hairen became Emperor Tianwu, and Prince Jiren became Empress Xiaode.

Even the treasure princess, who ascended the throne twice in history and became the female emperor.

The Queen of the Bao Emperor in her early forties still has charm.

This queen is full of ambitions. Because there are often examples of a queen in Japan, and the queen succeeding to the throne as the emperor, this queen has indeed thought about becoming a female emperor when Emperor Shu Ming is in poor health.

The Bao Emperor said to the Emperor, "The Tang Dynasty should not be angered. Your Majesty might as well kneel down and worship him."

Suwo Ekima and Empress Bao both advised him not to anger the Tang envoy. Although Emperor Shu Ming was unhappy, he still gave in the end.

He was willing to face the north as the king of Japan.

When I received the imperial edict, I just didn't kneel, but I bent down and lowered my head.

Gao Biaoren looked down on the Japanese people's bargaining petty arrogance. He was too lazy to say anything, so he just shook his sleeves and left.

Envoy Tang left, and just left.

Leaving the Emperor Shu Ming’s face as purple as an eggplant, he was so humble, but Tang Zhi was still so disrespectful.

"Send troops to kill them all!" Emperor Shu Ming said angrily.

Su I, Emily, cursed a fool in his heart.

Not only did he offend the Tang envoy, but he also wanted to kill the Tang envoy. Is he thinking that the Tang army would not come to attack?

"Your Majesty, the Tang envoy is heading to Nambajin."

Nambatsu is the port where the Tang envoy landed.

This is also the most prosperous harbor in Japan. There are many shops built by Tang merchants, and Tang ships come with cargo every year.

The Japanese royal family, ministers, and local tycoons were proud of using the merchants from the Tang Dynasty. Silk, tea, sugar, wine, paper, pen and books, they used the popularity of the Tang Dynasty to imitate the style of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible.

The costumes of the Tang Dynasty, the tea and wine culture of the Tang Dynasty, the dishes of the Tang Dynasty, and even the study of the Tang Dynasty's official language and the poetry of the Tang Dynasty, I wish I could be a Tang Dynasty person.

But Envoy Tang actually left, just left like that?

Since the Southern and Southern Dynasties in the Central Plains, Japan has been sending envoys to the Central Plains to study.

Finally, a Tang envoy came, but it angered the Tang envoy and made him angry.

"Catch it up quickly." Su I, Ekima, shouted.

Diplomacy is nothing small.

Emperor Shu Ming felt that he was insulted, but Su I, Eiyi, knew that the Tang envoy could also say that he was insulted. The Tang envoy represented the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If the envoy was humiliated, that was the emperor. If the Tang Dynasty used this as a reason, it could send troops to attack.

The Tang Dynasty also has this ability.

I originally wanted to hold the Tang Empire's thigh, but it turned out to be a good thing, causing trouble.

The Su family sent troops to chase after him, but Gao Biaoren didn't look back. The Japanese soldiers did not dare to force themselves to stop them, so they could only let them arrive at the port and boarded a sailboat.

When Suwo Xiayi heard the news, the ship had set sail and left the port.

As the boat went further and further, Su I, Xiayi, was stunned and dazed.

Full of powerlessness.

I went back to see the Emperor and told the news that the Tang envoy had left.

"Your Majesty, we offended the Tang envoy this time and offended the Tang Dynasty. I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will send troops to fight. Even if we don't come now, if we wait for them to destroy Baekje and Silla, we will be the next one."

Emperor Shu Ming was a little scared at this time.

Although the Japanese king is not as good as the Japanese emperor, no matter how bad it is, it is worse than being captured and taken to the Tang Dynasty as a prisoner.

Think about Goguryeo, how powerful it is, it will soon be destroyed.

The country is destroyed and the race is destroyed. The king is killed and surrenders to slaves.

Yamato could not even deal with the Estomans in the north, let alone the Tang Empire.

"What should I do?"

Su I, Emily, thought about it, and there was no other way. Apart from sending Emperor Shu Ming to the Tang Dynasty to apologize, the two families would have become enemies. The only countermeasure now is to confront each other.

"The Tang Dynasty has destroyed Goguryeo for several years, and the next step is likely to be to use troops to Baekje and Silla. To protect Yamato, we must help Baekje. I think that we should immediately issue an edict to all the wealthy families in the country to recruit soldiers. We will send troops to Baekje and join forces with Silla to form an alliance against the Tang Dynasty."

With Baekje and Silla in front, Yamato is still safer.

If the three alliances can drive the Tang army out of the Korean Peninsula, perhaps Yamato can land in North Korea and own a piece of land on the peninsula.

"How many soldiers are recruited?" Emperor Shu Ming was a little cowardly at this time.

Su Iyi pondered for a moment. The elite Tang army was so powerful that they could only win by quantity.
