Chapter 445 The Japanese are here
Li Ren himself thought about it for several hours in the study of Tai Chi Palace, and finally found that Japan might have deployed a very complete espionage system in the Tang Dynasty. However, whether it was the extremely confident Li Longji era or the subsequent years of disputes, the Tang Dynasty had no intention of using it in this regard.
This causes the fact that if there are really spies, they will be very comfortable in your territory and there is basically no risk of being discovered. Of course, these are all about Li before he ascended the throne.
After reading this, Li Qing was still quite impatient at the beginning, and she wanted to just take down this spy who pretended to be a vendor and let Hong Yuan take it down.
But after thinking about it, Li Qing decided that this matter should not be in a hurry.
This person has been working with Zhang Chong and the others for a long time. It is definitely not the first time to board the Tang Dynasty warship. Not to mention that the secrets of your warship may have been learned almost all. Even if he is arrested now, most of the things he recorded on the warship have been passed on.
No matter what era, people are responsible for doing this kind of thing and are captured. Now when people arrest people, as long as they refuse to accept it, they will be a warning to the enemy.
Li Neng finally put Hong Yuan’s memorial in a place where he could see it. This time, even Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan did not tell him, because he knew that he could not hurry up and wanted to do it, he had to beat the people lurking in the Tang Dynasty all at once. The most important thing was to find out the people behind them.
Intuition told Li that the envoy sent by the Tang Dynasty that Japan was about to send must have a close connection with these matters.
So, Li Ren, who was confused about how to arrange the Tang envoys, suddenly had an unripe idea in his heart. However, he believed that in the next period of time, he should be able to mature it, just like Feng Yi, who was a little awkward in some aspects, wasn't he familiar with all his actions now?
Li Neng replied to Hong Yuan at that time. The content of the letter was very simple, which was to make Hong Yuan and Zhang Chong pretend that nothing had happened. What should be like, but they could investigate secretly without being noticed by the other party, waiting for Li Neng's next instructions.
After making this deployment, Li Yi once again came to the map of the Tang Dynasty, not knowing what he was thinking.
There are actually some places where the Tang envoys were sent to the Tang Dynasty at this time, and there were nothing more than the Japanese, Silla and Bohai Kingdom, the Uighurs who had just restored their relationship with Li, and the Khitan tribes in the north.
Among them, the purpose of sending Tang envoys next to the territory of the Tang Dynasty is relatively simple, that is, to have good relations with the officials of Chang'an City and to strengthen the trade between their own tribes and the Tang Dynasty and even Chang'an City.
In addition, those small countries on the sea were not the only ones that came to mind, because their country's materials were generally quite scarce and difficult to transport, so it was obviously the best choice to come directly to the Tang Dynasty to enjoy life.
After receiving Li Qing's letter of state, these places couldn't wait to send their team of Tang sentencing envoys to Chang'an City. For these people, this was almost the luckiest thing in their lives.
Except for the tribes like the Uighurs who often communicated with the Tang Dynasty and were already very familiar with the Tang Dynasty, Silla and Bohai Kingdom basically used an old driver who had been to the Tang Dynasty to bring a group of local nobles who had never been to the Tang Dynasty to fantasize about a good life after the Tang Dynasty, and risked their lives to come here on a boat.
Of course they didn't know that what awaited them in Chang'an City this time was not what they imagined.
On a ship heading to the Tang Dynasty, there were more than a dozen Japanese people. The sea was not very stormy, but it was raining a little. There were only two people on the deck, one was a bald monk, and the other was dressed as a scholar. The monk was a little younger, and the scholar was about forty years old, and he looked like he had experienced many vicissitudes at first glance.
"Oze, when you arrive in Chang'an City, you must visit the various temples around Chang'an City as a monk. Everything must be based on visiting the hosts of these temples. We are not anxious about our affairs. Once we are anxious, we will see the clues."
The young monk was named Ozawama, but from the scholar's words, is this monk's identity really not necessarily?
The older scholar was named Yamamoto Kogoro. This was not the first time he had gone to Chang'an City. This time, he led the team of the Tang envoys in Japan.
However, from his solemn expression, he didn't seem to have brought these people to enjoy themselves, but he seemed to have some different purpose.
"What the teacher said is that since several months ago, I have been understanding the Buddhist teachings of our country. Even if I go to the famous temples of the Tang Dynasty, I will not leave any flaws. But the teacher, as the backbone of us, we must be careful in everything. I heard that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is only thirty years old, but in these few years, he almost quelled the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty with his own strength. After ascending the throne, he personally fought against it several times. Even the governor who held great power before the Tang Dynasty had been deposed by him. When the teacher saw him, he must be cautious!"
Ozawama is the most proud student of Yamamoto Kogoro. This time, according to their agreement, after arriving in Chang'an City, Ozawama will separate from their large army as a wandering monk. On the surface, it seems that he will visit various temples in the Tang Dynasty, but what is the real purpose is not certain.
After hearing his students' words, Yamamoto Kogoro laughed a little disdainfully, then put his hands behind his back, looked up at the direction of the Tang Dynasty, and said, "Is Li Longji considered a wise ruler? At least he did not regard our Japanese as a young man. In their eyes, we are just like Silla people, but they are just some dogs who wag their tails and beg for mercy at the Tang Dynasty. When they are happy, they give us some food and drink, thinking that we will be satisfied in this way! This is almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty's thoughts. Even if the emperor is a wise ruler, no matter how powerful he leads troops to fight, we Japanese people are still a group of mercy dogs who wag tails and beg for mercy in his eyes! One day, we will make their arrogance pay the price!"
Speaking of this, Yamamoto was already quite excited.
