Li Xiang came to the capital of Fuso from Fukuoka a few days ago. After visiting here for a while, Li Xiang came to Ding Jiayong's general camp.
This guy was shocked at the time. You know, Li Xiang is of high status now. If something happens in Fusang, not only he can't bear it, but no one, including his uncle Ding Tu, can bear it.
Fortunately, Li Xiang was fine. He visited the capital for a long time and learned that many people were still thinking about their emperor. So it would not be easy to transform this area. Although the emperor had expressed cooperation and wanted to be a puppet, at least he still had a high status.
But Li Xiang felt that he should go through a procedure, which was to go to Chang'an and pay homage to the emperor.
The Emperor of Fuso has been telling his people about this matter, saying that they must go to Chang'an City one day. Now that the opportunity has come, you should hurry up and pack up and go.
When it really came to this, the Emperor of Fuso did not dare to move, because his status was different now. He used to be the real ruler of the country, but now he was just a puppet. What if the people of the Tang Dynasty had bad intentions along the way? Wouldn't that mean they could just kill him?
So today Li Xiang wants to talk to the Emperor. In fact, even if he doesn't meet the Emperor, Li Xiang doesn't need to greet someone like Princess Yongping when she comes to Fusang. What can your father, the King of Nanzhao do? Isn't he just a chess piece of ours?
If it weren't for Yongning, Li Xiang would have almost forgotten this person. The gap in status between the two was too big. She might have been of some use when they were in Nanzhao, but now she has jumped out of the original circle. If he still wants to maintain the original relationship, he must have a new breakthrough. Princess Yongping is now looking for a breakthrough, but unfortunately Li Xiang doesn't know about this yet.
When the Emperor of Fuso saw Li Xiang, no one knew what he felt in his heart. The entire royal family of Fuso was imprisoned. There were many talented people among them, but they were royal family members of Fuso. They did not have that much power, nor did they have that many resources to mobilize.
Therefore, Fuso can only live on the island. The person in front of them is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. He can mobilize the resources of the entire Tang Dynasty, so he can develop so well. These people in the Fuso royal family are still not convinced. If they are given the same resources as the Tang Dynasty, they believe they can do better than Li Xiang.
Of course, Li Xiang doesn't care what these people are thinking. Anyway, you are all prisoners now, and you have to do whatever I tell you to do.
"It would be beneficial for both of us if His Majesty visited Chang'an. I've heard from your country's citizens that since your grandfather's generation, they've wanted to pay homage to Chang'an. Previously, it wasn't safe due to shipping, but now that problem has been resolved, you can travel with peace of mind."
The entire Fuso area is not small. Apart from Nagasaki and Fukuoka, the conflict has only occurred in the capital. People in other regions are completely unaware of it. Therefore, arranging for the Emperor of Fuso to go to Chang'an is also to make it clear to people in other regions that you invited us here on your own initiative, and we did not start a war with you.
Of course, doing so is a bit of an attempt to cover up the truth, and it cannot even be hidden from the people of Japan, but there will always be a part of people who believe it. As long as this part of people who believe it ferments among the people, there will be two voices among the people. The real facts may not be suppressed within a few years, but after ten or twenty years, or twenty or thirty years, the facts may be what we said.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, I... and all the royal families of Fusang wish to visit Chang'an City and pay our respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. However, the entire Fusang is currently engulfed in war, and peace has yet to be achieved. I, however, am somewhat capable and can assist Your Majesty in maintaining order."
The Emperor of Fuso was used to speaking in a certain way, but when facing Li Xiang, it was a bit inappropriate to say that word, so he could only call himself the same as the common people. Although the Fuso ministers around him were not satisfied, but thinking about the current situation, is a title still so important?
In Ding Jiayong's opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still giving these people too much face. They are a bunch of bastards. Now they are just meat in our hands. We can squeeze them however we want. Just stick the knife on the table. If you want to go, go quickly. If you don't want to go, then hurry up and slit their necks.
"Your Majesty is right. Fusang does need your help, but after you return from the Tang Dynasty, your help will be even better, and the people everywhere will be happier. After all, it is a title from the Celestial Empire, and only in this way can your throne be more secure."
Li Xiang said as he looked at the paintings in the palace corridors.
This is really a case of trying to draw a tiger but ending up drawing a dog. Everyone in Fusang wanted to learn the culture of the Central Plains, but they only learned the basics. Combined with their own understanding of these cultures, the result was that they drew paintings that even ghosts and gods would not look good.
Li Xiang suddenly remembered that in the 21st century, Japan also hosted an Olympic Games. The opening ceremony of this Olympic Games made the whole world feel scared, and even some children were scared to tears. I really don’t know how the culture of this country could develop into this.
After seeing these things in the palace, Li Xiang finally understood what was going on. Perhaps from this moment on, their culture had already gone astray. Don't say they learned from our Tang culture. We can't bear this responsibility. No matter how much the Tang culture changed, it would never change into this state...
"Your Majesty, the Respected Crown Prince..."
The Emperor of Fuso just didn't want to go, but when he was about to speak again, Ding Jiayong moved to the side to make the sword at his waist more conspicuous.
The Fuso Emperor swallowed his saliva. He was extremely afraid of Ding Jiayong, a young officer of the Tang Dynasty Navy. He had caused one bloody incident after another in the capital in recent days. But there was nothing you could do. The knife was in his hand, and he could do whatever he wanted. Several members of the royal family had died under this knife.
Ding Jiayong had long been impatient. "Our Crown Prince is easy to talk to, so don't be so arrogant. Our Crown Prince is the only one in the entire army who is easy to talk to. This is already the third and fourth request. If you are unwilling, you can only rely on the sword at my waist."
