Chang'an Privy Council.

I saw more than ten Privy Councilors sitting inside, and in the middle was a graceful and noble woman, the queen Wu Meiniang,

"Report to the Queen of Heaven, news has just been heard from Lelangzhou that the Japanese sent people to Lelangzhou to contact the governor Liu, hoping to come to Chang'an to pay tribute to you."

Hao Chujun reported.

Wu Meiniang frowned when she heard this and said, "What do you think?"

Zhang Wenguan said: "In the opinion of the old minister, the Japanese country should know the strength of my Tang Dynasty. They were just a mantis chariot before. Since they have realized their mistakes, the old minister thinks that they should give them a chance. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty has no intention of taking revenge on them."

Wang Xuandao immediately shook his head and said, "I don't think so. The reason why we didn't plan to retaliate against Japan is because we finally won the victory, and the Japanese did not cause much harm to us. But we can't say that none of this has happened. How to resolve these grudges should not be decided by them, but by us. I suggest letting them go back first, and then notifying them when we discuss how to apologize."

Many people nodded.

The main reason is that the Tang Dynasty looked down on the Japanese. The two Japanese troops were eliminated in an instant. They didn’t even have any rules in the war. They knew that they would rush forward and their economy was not as good as Silla.

Wu Meiniang thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to meet them for the time being when the Japanese go back."

"I obey the order."

Hao Chujun said again: "The Queen of Heaven and the Protectors also heard news that Dashi hopes to send envoys to Chang'an to establish good relations with us and start trade."

Zhang Wenguan added: "Dashi and Tubo formed an alliance and invaded Tochar, but were later defeated by Pei Xingjian. At that time, Pei Xingjian believed that Dashi's national strength was still very strong. If he continued to fight with it, it would only lead to both losses. In order to protect the Central Plains, he signed a contract with them, saying that our Tang Dynasty was willing to make friends with them and hoped that they would not be provoked by Tubo."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let them come. But try to let them come later. Han Shangshu is the best at this kind of negotiation. Now Han Shangshu has returned home to worship his ancestors. It is best to wait until Han Shangshu returns to Chang'an before negotiating with them."

After leaving the Privy Council, Wu Meiniang came directly to Tiance Mansion.

"See the Queen."

I saw a group of commanders stand up and bow to Wu Meiniang with fists.

Wu Meiniang nodded with a smile, sat down, and reached out to signal, "Please sit down, all generals."

After everyone sat down, Wu Meiniang said, "I call you all here today, mainly to discuss how to deal with the matter of Japan and Dashi. Recently, news came from both sides at the same time that they all hoped to come to Chang'an. Japan wanted to pay tribute, and Dashi wanted to establish a good relationship with us."

Asanami Sho shouted, "They are not good things. They wanted to make trouble at the beginning. We can't just let it go. We should send troops to destroy them and eliminate future troubles forever."

Xue Rengui said: "But war costs money. The treasury cannot afford it for the time being, and the Congress will not be willing to allocate funds. After all, they are here to make peace with us, not to provoke war."

Wu Meiniang suddenly said: "Then the Japanese country can be put aside first, but for Dashi, their national strength is too strong and it is already bordering the Tang Dynasty. I don't want any Tubo to appear around my Tang Dynasty. As the saying goes, this mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. We must find ways to limit their expansion and weaken their strength. We can no longer treat Dashi like Tubo, which will only raise tigers."

The commanders nodded and expressed their approval. They didn't listen to Wu Meiniang at the beginning, which led to such a big war. They can't remember to eat or fight.

Qi Bi Heli said: "What the queen of heaven means to send troops to Dashi?"

"I don't think it's necessary." Dugu Wuyue, who had just entered Tiance Mansion, suddenly said: "When I was in the South China Sea, I met some Dashi merchants. From them, I learned that Dashi has been expanding wildly in the past few decades, and there were countless countries that destroyed, including our old friend Persia. They expanded so quickly that I think that their internal internal must not be very stable. If the queen of heaven hopes to weaken Dashi and prevent it from posing a threat to us, I think it can be used to infiltrate their internal struggles, just like the strategy of Han Shangshu to eliminate Tubo, thereby weakening Dashi."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Then do you have any good suggestions?"

Dugu Wuyue said: "I think we can trade with them from the sea first, use the power of merchants to infiltrate, and then support the resistance forces within Dashi and sell weapons to them. This can also bring business opportunities to our weapons manufacturers. Anyway, the swords, weapons, armor and bows have been gradually eliminated in our Tang Dynasty, and we can sell all the old ones to them."

Qi Bi Heli said very dissatisfiedly: "Wuyue, you are too cunning. The navy is under your control. If you want to go to the sea, your navy will be entrusted with important tasks. So what are we doing?"

Dugu Wuyue said: "But if you attack from land, the distance is too far, which consumes a lot and the treasury cannot afford it at all. If you walk from the sea, we can fight all the way and get more resources for the Central Plains. Selling these resources to merchants may not require the treasury to pay too much money. Moreover, muskets and artillery are used on warships, so we can defeat any enemy very easily without much war costs."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "I think General Dugu is right, but I hope to see a more complete plan. Moreover, this is also the highest secret of the Tiance Mansion. For the time being, we still have to establish a good relationship with Dashi to avoid their troops from harassing our forces in the Pamirs."

If you want to become a wise king, you must obtain civil and military achievements. Tubo has been eliminated, and only the powerful enemy of Dashi is left. How could Wu Meiniang let Dashi go? In addition, she is restricted everywhere in China and it will be difficult to implement it for a while. However, in terms of foreign affairs, she can make full decisions. Her political strategy has gradually shifted from the inside to the outside. I will play with others. You can't limit me, introduce external forces to consolidate your own power.

Just talking about this Tiance Mansion, if there is no war, this Tiance Mansion will always be a decoration. Only when a war breaks out can the Tiance Mansion work.

Wu Meiniang, who holds military orders, must fight, so she must expand to the outside world.

However, she still has to wait for Han Yi to come back before she can make the final decision. After all, diplomacy and infiltration are what Han Yi is best at.

And at this moment, Han Yi was already hundreds of miles away.

Above the canal.

"Wow! This is such a luxurious tour boat. Look, the windows are all equipped with glass. Such a large glass is really valuable, and there are two more."

"I think it must be a wealthy businessman in Luoyang, Chang'an."

"Oh, I don't know when we can take a ride like this."

"Don't daydream, just deliver the goods with peace of mind."

"You can't say that. Have you never heard of the Cao brothers in Sanmenshan? They used to be the same as us, but now? They are the famous wealthy businessmen in our Central Plains!"

.

But seeing two super luxurious tour boats sailing on the canal, it immediately attracted the fingers of the boatmen on the side.

However, the people in the tour boat did not pay attention to these things at all because they were.

"What should I do?"

Xiao Wuyi's forehead was covered with sweat. He looked at his cards very nervously, then the cards below, and finally looked at the few chips left.

Han Yi, who was standing beside him, said anxiously: "Oh! What else do you have to think about? Of course, it's a birdie! The three of them have all drawn cards, and only the birdie is the safest."

"Go and go." Xiao Wuyi glared at him and said, "You don't need to teach me, so that some people will say that I am not powerful."

While talking, she looked at Yuan Mudan, Yang Feixue, and Chen Shuozhen next to her.

Han Yi said angrily: "Don't worry, you have lost like this. Even if I fight, I can't win!"

Xiao Wuyi's face suddenly became gloomy and he shouted, "Shut up! Go and go! Come and bring me a cup of tea."

Han Yi looked at her aggrievedly, stood up mutteringly, "Damn it! I won't need any exaggeration next time, especially the sentence "Super tea and water."

Chen Shuozhen, Yuan Mudan and Yang Feixue pursed their lips at the same time, and the corners of their lips kept twitching.

Xiao Wuyi was completely in a state and didn't realize anything was wrong. She was not addicted to gambling, but once she started playing, she was really devoted and she would never allow herself to lose all her money. The key was that she couldn't get over this face. However, she had lost for two consecutive days and was almost losing all her private money. After thinking for a long time, she picked up a card and played it out.

The three of them looked at the bird!

"Hu!"

"I'm not bad, too!"

"What a coincidence, I'm not bad either."

A sound of it.

The teacup in Han Yi's hand fell on the floor, and the tea was sprinkled all over the floor.

"I'll go upstairs and see Rui'er and the others."

Han Yi ran up the second floor.

Xiao Wuyi's roar was faintly heard, "If you have the ability, don't come down for the rest of your life."

When he arrived at the second floor, he saw a harmonious picture, which made Han Yi very pleased. Han Rui sat on the long sofa and talked to her younger brother Han Jiaji about fairy tales in white. Han Jiaji heard it with relish, and his little face was tightly pressed against his sister's arm. Han Xuanpin was lying on the sofa, holding a book and reading it with relish, and shaking his legs back and forth.

Han Rui does everything in a regular manner. Han Xuanpin just stands without standing or sits without sitting, which shows how powerful the gene is.

In addition, there are a few maids around. After all, they are on the boat and someone needs to take care of them.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

When Han Rui and Han Jiachi saw that Han Yi was coming, they immediately shouted obediently.

Brother Xuanpin turned around and asked, "Dad, are you angry again?"

"Why are you so owing your mouth!" Han Yi glared at his son and asked again: "What book are you reading? It's not Xiao Huang's book, right?"

Han Xuanpin put down the book and said curiously: "Dad, what is Xiao Huang's book?"

Han Yi coughed lightly, looked at him in surprise, and said in surprise: "Tang Lu? No, how can you read this book?"

Han Rui smiled and said, "Dad, don't you know yet, my brother wants to be a lawyer in the future."

Han Yi said in surprise: "Is that true?"

Han Xuanpin nodded and asked very nervously: "Dad, do you think the child has this talent?"

Han Yi patted his shoulder and sighed, "Son, this has nothing to do with talent. What you did since childhood is not a three-point popularity. You cannot succeed. Just imagine it, don't be too serious."

Han Xuanpin said with a tense face: "Dad, this time the child is serious. If you don't believe me, please ask me."

Han Rui nodded and said, "Dad, my brother is right. As long as the Dali Temple opens to try the case, he will go and see it."

Han Yi looked at Han Xuanpin in surprise.

Han Xuanpin nodded and said, "Especially, the last time, Lawyer Cui sued Uncle Zheng's case, which was really wonderful."

"The surname is Cui again." Han Yi said angrily: "Our surname is Han, we cannot worship those with Cui's surname, it is a family rule."

Han Xuanpin disagreed and said, "But Lawyer Cui is really amazing. He has never lost a lawsuit he has fought."

Han Yi snorted: "That's because your father didn't become a lawyer. If your father was a lawyer, then what else would he do!"

Han Xuanpin said suspiciously: "Dad, you didn't brag, are you?"

Han Yi laughed and said, "When you go back to Chang'an, you will ask casually. You will definitely think that your father will win. With this skill, your father has never been convinced."

Han Xuanpin said in surprise: "It's so great. I will definitely become the number one lawyer in the world in the future."

Han Yi said in a daze: "Where do you come from?"
